I agree, the suggestion that anyone could/would be able to just throw out everything they know about arithmetic is sketchy at best, and even it's sketchier to make it seem as though a result like Euler's formula could purely be derived from geometric intuition. Sure, it "makes sense" in the video, but I don't think it's possible to truly grok and appreciate the result without having done any calculus. The real joy of math isn't in knowing, it's in proving.

Anyway: as for proof methods, I like the Maclaurin series trick with this one. Too bad the internet hasn't come up with a universal/nice way of writing math notation in a readable format yet, I'd like to sketch that proof here...
I second what grandparent told you.

I just signed up and confirmed my email. Ok... what's next? What's the deal with money that other people are writing about here?

At a minimum I recommend an email that goes out immediately after a person confirms their email. This thank you email should again briefly explain how your product works because if you explained this somewhere on your site then I missed it and I won't be the only one.

Also, consider sending that day's email to the customer right away so they get some immediate value from your service (even if that email had already gone out that day). As it stands I will likely forget about your service tomorrow and then wonder how you got my email address!
There is already a Netflix for journalism: it's called Facebook. Like Netflix, they do not produce content, but have amassed a huge, loyal audience by doing a great job of aggregating and distributing it.

Netflix eventually realized that it would get cut out of the distribution business--that's why they started making their own content.

So far, Facebook shows no interest in making their own news content, probably because news companies show no sign that they are capable of beating Facebook at anything.

“It is important to recognize that during a rare event with the emergency spillway flowing at its design capacity, spillway operations would not affect reservoir control or endanger the dam,” wrote John Onderdonk, a senior civil engineer with FERC, in the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s San Francisco Office, in a July 27, 2006, memo to his managers.

“The emergency spillway meets FERC’s engineering guidelines for an emergency spillway,” he added. “The guidelines specify that during a rare flood event, it is acceptable for the emergency spillway to sustain significant damage.”

tl;dr: in case of flood, anything goes so long as the main dam wall remains functional?

This is an uncharitsble and pessimistic view of the development of socialist theory since the failure of such regimes. Arguably capitalism has a more rich history of failure.

Precisely; you can see that it is almost impossible to avoid exploitation of yourself or others worjers within capitalism.

I might have a nonstandard interpretation of the word "mustn't". I have generally assumed that it means roughly "oughtn't" or "shouldn't", instead of fitting in any place where "must not" would go.

Thats so encouranging. I am also In Kenya and would be interested to know your startup. Thanks
You'd have to maintain Active Directory / Group Policy /etc. settings under Windows anyway. It ain't like Windows automagically sets you up with a perfect management solution for your organization. When one Windows machine doesn't work right, you're still often the one searching through Stack Exchange, Microsoft's support forums, etc. If you're going with something popular in the enterprise like RHEL or SUSE, you're pretty much on equal footing when it comes to support availability and troubleshooting (if not in a much better situation due to the easier time - IMO - in actually creating/maintaining/deploying system configurations).

Driver issues are indeed significant, however. It's a lot better than it was when I first started using Linux, but printing and scanning is still a major pain point. Enterprise environments have a much easier time here than home users due to being able to constrain driver problems to a select few print/scan servers running CUPS/SANE instead of having to deal with this on a workstation-by-workstation basis, but it's still far from ideal, and very few businesses are truly "paperless".
One approach I've taken is to commit to launching irrespective of outcome. I was inspired by Pieter Levels launching 12 startups in 12 months: https://levels.io/12-startups-12-months/

Like anything, it gets easier the more you do it. Try to launch things which you aren't passionate about so have less invested—with less pressure, you can start to build your launch muscles.
People down vote this, so I will provide a bit more explanation: Parallelism is 'easy' as long as you have natural separated problems. This is the reason embarrassingly problems are so great for many-core systems. Every single sub-problem can be done without having to synchronize with other parts of the system. Unfortunately, most problems aren't that way, but instead are interlocked on multiple axes:

- Minimal granularity: You can never run more cores than you have problems at the same time, but you also cannot just split problems as long as you want or the overhead of splitting will kill all performance gains you'd had (x+y in an extra thread/process is technically possible, in reality pretty stupid)

- Synchronization points: Most problems are not completely separate from each other, so you can do part of the problem in parallel but at some point you have to converge and do something with the combined result.

- Comparable task size: In an ideal world all of your tasks would take exactly as long as the other, because if one task takes far longer than the others you have to wait for it. So, the minimal run time of your parallel problem is bound by the time of your longest sub-problem. If one of the problems takes far longer than the others (and they depend on each other) you've lost.

The last one is more of a "meta" point: Complexity doesn't scale linear for dependent problems. That's another reason embarrassingly parallel problems are so nice. You cannot only run them all in parallel, you can think about each one as a completely separate problem. The moment you have dependencies you have to think about how to bring them all together and that gets hard very fast if you have many moving parts.

So, to sum it up: Many small things conspire against just scaling something which works great for two or four cores up to eight, 16, 32 or whatever. If you happen to have an embarrassingly parallel problem you're golden, but unfortunately only a small subset of interesting problems are that way and for other problems scaling is hard.
Speaking from experience of 1 month vacation I'm not sure I'd be able to decrypt after 16 months of not touching a keyboard.

My most important passwords (passphrases for gpg used by password managers and luks) are in my head and muscle memory.

When I update passwords I tend to have them written down until I've typed them enough times.

So after a months vacation I often struggle to remember my work password for example. While using phrases makes all this easier these days, 16 months is a long time to presumably spend without your keyboard.

The airlines asked for both retrospective and prospective relief from liability for the actual past (retrospective) and potential future (prospective) security failures in the wake of 9/11.

Nationalization of the security function was the mechanism for the prospective portion of that relief; since they no longer controlled the function, they would no longer be liable for any failures.

Now, they would have preferred immunity from liability while controlling the function, but even their allies in Washington couldn't sell that open-ended a handout publicly. But TSA security theater made adequate political cover for the real purpose.

It reads like they designed the spillway to withstand this much water, provided that the ground it rests on doesn't move.
Was it a sink-hole under the spillway or the force of water broke the concrete and then created the hole?

> I'd rather live centrally. If height restrictions were eliminated and councils started building pretty much everybody who wanted to, could.

High-rise buildings are a hugely inefficient use of land and energy. 5-6 storey mansion blocks would be the optimum.

But it is not height restrictions that preclude that kind of development in central London. The foremost problem is a lack of available land.

We could build millions and millions of houses in the green belt. In a country of ~20m homes, that will necessarily have a huge effect.

If we can break free of the notion of UK property as an ever-appreciating safe investment, we may also deter some speculators and crater prices entirely.

>Make it safe to fail

That's the best advice on this thread here. So how do you make it safe to fail?

Examples:

If you have a day job, a failed side project isn't the end of the world.

Scale down your ambitions drastically. There's something we big dreamers do. We have an idea and instantly envision the idea making thousands of dollars. For some people, it motivates them, for others, it makes it feel like waking on a thin rope accross two skyscrapers.

So beware when this happens, and aim low "mentally."

Seek small projects that would cost you little time and money. And would earn a few dollars or hundreds of dollars. If it works, you'll have beer money. If it doesn't, you'll shrug.

Have at least two concurrent project so your fate doesn't feel tied to a project.

Send me a message and I'll help give more specific / tailored advice.

As of midnight, the reservoir level was at 899.77 feet, and flow over the emergency spillway has stopped. If the level is above about 900 feet, the excess goes over the emergency spillway.

The trouble is that in most of the recent prominent government "whistleblowing" cases (Snowden, Manning, the other one I forget) there's a great deal of disagreement on the legality of what has been exposed. The issue is that an individual sets himself up as judge and jury on the subject of complicated legal matters which he might not fully understand.

I will say that both Snowden and Manning went well into the territory of leaking stuff that wasn't illegal in addition to stuff that was at least debatable.

The JVM was obviously never designed for functional programming. I would like to see something like Thrill built in Haskell or OCaml, both of which generate efficient native code, support unboxed arrays and have metaprogramming/staging facilities that go beyond templates. GHC Haskell even has declarative rewrite rules for compile-time fusion.

I'm still not convinced C++ is necessary to outperform Spark, especially as high-level features like reference counting and lambdas are being used.

Just because so many more people use Github. It's easy to shit on less popular things via second-hand anecdotes like you did because there is a good chance very few users will see it.

Consider something like this: "Everyone I know who had to use the flight control computer of the F-35 has absolutely, utterly despised it."

So few people will be able to refute that in this forum that many people would just take what you said at face value and assume the F-35 flight control computer is garbage.

"People tell me X" is just a terrible form of discussion because you can't speak authoritatively on what they said X if you are pressed for details. It's just noise without any depth.

This is just a very abstract way to say that you don't like some of the things that the state has characterized as crimes. That's fine, and you can utilize the organs of representative democracy to make your will on that point known (though a world where only violent crimes are recognized, like you're suggesting, is not usually considered appealing).

However, attempting to trivialize the issue by abstracting it out to "giving a variable to a mathematical algorithm" is not persuasive. Any sort of cooperation could be extrapolated to a similar point of abstraction that makes it sound absurd; in fact, furnishing a physical key to a physical lock could be described with no modification to your terms. In that case, you're ultimately asking for the pattern needed to actuate the pins such that they stick up in the lock mechanism and cause it to disengage. That's just "providing a variable to an algorithm"; the physical key itself is an implementation detail.

If you do not believe the court should have the power to compel some types of individual cooperation with the police, you should take that up with your local legislator. The Fifth Amendment itself provides no such protection. It prohibits the government's usage of only a very specific tactic: mandatory testimonial self-incrimination. Allowing the police to execute warrants and complying with lawful orders pursuant to the state's interest in enforcing its laws is not testimony.

The two aren't mutually exclusive. American voters wanted the wall, and we're going to get it, on time, and under budget. California has been bankrupting itself for at least a decade (sanctuary + welfare). No money to spend on infrastructure. Trump has been in office what, 2wks? He's already fulfilled more campaign promises than any president in recent memory. He promises to be a jobs president and improving our infrastructure is part of that plan. Let's have some perspective, mmmkay?

Flashback to California Governor Jerry Brown, in Sacremento last month, suggesting the president could help with a dam:

> Here’s what the president said in his inaugural address: “We will build new roads, and highways, and bridges, and airports, and tunnels, and railways all across our wonderful nation.”

> And in this, we can all work together – here in Sacramento and also in Washington as well. We have roads, we have tunnels, we have railroads, and even a dam that the president could help us with.
