I dunno, CS is one thing but I have played and know people who still play MMOs (EVE, WoW, FF, etc) and those tend to be a different beast. It's not hard to see why: the same desires and rewards that drive you forward in life can be instead applied in-game for a mere $15 a month. Actually in many regards WoW is more fun than real life, and when your friends are all playing the game.. yea that becomes life. I know what you mean by taking those in-game skills to real life... my success in real life comes somewhat from just applying the concept of grinding to a different domain ;)

As a thought experiment, what if we developed technology like the Matrix: full simulated reality you can plug into... you live in a simulated world that feels 100% real to you, except this simulated world is better than reality in various ways... I suspect it would be way more tempting than games are today, and certainly more tempting than movies to spent nearly all your time in the virtual world.
I am well aware of that, but you often don't have that information.
> In a car you usually fasten your seatbelt all the time so that you don't have to guess when the risk is going to occur. In a plane there's no reason not to act the same way.

Sure there is. The chances of dying in a car accident are around 1% whereas the same in an air accident is, like, 100x less likely?

It's like how you wear a helmet when you're in a construction zone but you don't wear a helmet when walking around the city despite the nonzero chance that something might fall on your head. (Or do you?)
My favorite introduction to Foucault is Hubert Dreyfus' essay on Being and Power: http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~hdreyfus/html/paper_being.html

The key insight for me is the discussion of "the clearing". The clearing opens the way for new opportunities while suppressing other possibilities in exchange. This concept can be used readily to analyze the durability of certain new technologies and their effect on society. For example, Facebook clearly creates a new way to communicate, but that channel then eliminates other forms of communication in exchange.

The language of pervasive and hidden power is essential for a clear view of what the Silicon Valley is becoming.
The Science Behind Getting Motivated and Staying Motivated
One solution is to set up a droplet which serves a website from /home/deploy/web/site/ on the server. Then to deploy:

rsync -Pa ./site/ deploy@your-domain.com:/home/deploy/web/site/

Note: The trailing slashes are important.

I use nodemon to watch /home/deploy/web/site/ for changes, which restarts the server. There are tools like nodemon for whatever stack you're using (rails, etc).
You don't need a full time team or person (the guy I worked for doesn't have that) as long as you can deploy and manage the hosting and have someone you can call if there is an issue.

But no way to get building/operating capital? In general forget about it. Most likely not going to fly.

I'm convinced lots of people do this because I've personally seen at least two. But even more try and spend a bunch of money and fail (seen a lot more than 2 of those). The ones who succeed generally don't hang around HN posting startup related buzzwords though so it's understandable they are presumed not to exist.

Or, as with cars, just be in the bigger car. Another a380 would probably have shaken off this encounter. Size, and the flex that comes with size, flattens out these things.
There is at least one exchange that has enough discount, but their reputation is horrible, so if you want to arbitrage that then it's on your head. In general that's the case if there is any opportunity. While they don't make mainstream headlines, mini MTGox'es still happen, like a Polish exchange some months ago.

There are a lot of people going after it, and probably some that do it wrongly thinking they are profitable while they are not. If you look at some of those bitcoin bots, they full of wrong calculations.
Yeah, this looks like an optimizer wrote the program. I presume the code was tested against natural images... so it might not be appropriate for all image types.

I agree that HEVC isn't a game changer.

I actually prefer x264 encoded video even though it results in much larger file sizes. Although HEVC has lower bitrate for supposedly same quality, my needs aren't constrained enough where I have to go for HEVC.

I hope AV1 doesn't lower the quality aspect since it is focused on being a primarily streaming codec with most of the companies being streaming focused (Google, Netflix, Amazon and Vidyo) and them focusing on better compression rate.

If I recall correctly HEVC was also meant to be a streaming codec and I feel like that lead to the lower quality compared to h264. It just doesn't feel that sharp although it is supposed to be 1080p. The blurring aspect is especially bad.

I don't think AOMedia guys will blow it though. I feel like they have a lot more expertise since there are people from multiple codecs (VP9, Daala, etc.) contributing to this.
Not only is it not a major point in the account, it's strange but certainly plausible a coworker you're staying with on a trip who's forceful could coerce you into doing something that in hindsight seems stupid.

Even half a minute minute is a hell of a lot of time and overwhelmingly better than no notice. Currently airplanes sometimes only turn on the sign after the turbulence has already started.

Also, it's not like they never have no idea which airplanes are around them until they visually see the airplane. They could turn on the sign earlier if they know earlier.
You're right, we've never had Real Marxism (TM), we just have to try a little harder next time.

> Capitalism (according to Marxist theory) can no longer sustain the living standards of the population due to its need to compensate for falling rates of profit by driving down wages, cutting social benefits and pursuing military aggression. The socialist system would succeed capitalism as humanity's mode of production through workers' revolution.

Do they mean that same capitalism that brings >1,000,000 Chinese people out poverty every month? Did Mao not try hard enough?

Newsflash, folks: we've had a few workers' revolutions. They're not all they're cracked up to be. Try talking to someone who lived through one of them.

Probably they have a different idea about risk management than more risk-averse people. Worrying a lot about very low probability events is not compatible with the risk-taking typically required to make a lot of money. After all millionaires are largely a "survivor club" filtered from high risk appetite workaholics.

This is quite interesting. I've been living underneath a flight plan for the last few years, and every now and then I've noticed a strange noise that seems to come from the air a few seconds after a plane has passed overhead on approach. The best way I can describe it is as a tearing noise, somewhat like a long stretched version of a tear in paper, or fabric. I've long suspected that it may be due to turbulence, and this article certainly suggests that the turbulence for some aircraft is much more powerful than I'd suspected.
I think this is also the origin of tumblrinas, so it all balances out.
Never in my experience.

Learning to communicate
It's funny, when I re-read my comment, I notice the bit about adoption cycles, and I wonder if maybe there isn't a 20 year lower bound on these revolutions, because certain ideas can only be cemented in a person at certain stages of their life.

Maybe the skills required to lead a revolution can only be formed while living as a child under the system that the revolution is against. And so any empire you create is at least safe for 20 years, until a new generation of kids come up having never known anything else, and tear it down.

I think a lot about that when I look at Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc. The blockchain completely changed how I think about computer science, and while I think it's revolutionary, I don't think it can really take off until a whole generation of students can go through their PhDs to solve some of the major problems. We see that happening now in the Ethereum community.

I see it in myself too... The web was just emerging as I was coming of age. It promised to revolutionize society, but in the 20 years since, we have seen the ways it failed to do that. Those of us who grew up immersed in the web are currently working feverishly to attack the corruption that has resisted it.

I actually have little doubt we'll succeed at democratizing access to things like information, credit, and public safety, but I can also see the ways in which we are creating a new bubble of impossibility. I can see how children growing up in the world I'm creating may have a hard time making mistakes and causing collateral damage, which could stifle exploration. I can see how groupthink can become unmoored from reality in scary ways...

And sometimes I wonder if my generation, even with this exponentially accellerating technology and culture, won't really be able to solve those problems because we didn't grow up in them. Not in the same way.

In that sense, I think the 20 year clock that advances a little each generation will still be a reasonable characterization of post-singularity life.

The only thing that can possibly lift a normal aircraft (i.e. not a rocket) is if the air is higher pressure on the bottom than the top.

Deflecting air downward is the way they create that pressure difference.
Clearing doesn't always work. Here are photos from Hokkaido of cars with people in them buried in snow drifts.[1] Six deaths. One train derailment.

I was in a car to Niigata (near Toyama) a few years ago in february, and the walls were about 10 feet high.
First time I'd ever seen them, and I was definitely in awe.

Btw Toyama has great water and consequently is home to some of the finest sake distilleries in the country.
It is too easy for people who have "made it" to say this. I have kind of made it too, so I could have the same attitude. The problem however is that anecdotes don't proof a point. You have to look at numbers. Numbers say that the majority of Americans are losing purchasing power year after year, and there are fewer middle class jobs. Somehow, the 1% have more privileges each passing day, they pay close to nothing in taxes and corporations can dodge taxes any way they want. As a result, there is less money to invest in people, and the same pattern is repeating itself in most countries around the world (globalization, remember).
That's a meaningless correction, and technically not correct. Aircraft are lifted up by air molecules hitting the underside of the rigid body with more force than the top side, by definition. The net integrated instantaneous pressure at the surface of the aircraft IS the lift.

The fact that air gets deflected downward is a necessary (c.f. conservation of momentum) effect too. So it's not incorrect to do the analysis that way. But it's absolutely wrong to correct someone saying that "lift is pressure" with "lift is actually deflected air".
I don't think it's the only reason.

Here's the problem - I don't work in a "field". I work in whatever office will have me, being another faceless drone, more grist for the mill of half-secretarial and half-self-taught patchwork IT people. No matter what the exact role is, there's someone who's either got better qualifications or training than me if it gets technical. I'm "discount office guy" - they don't want me to be anything other than passive.

I mean you say that, but wasn't this an accident predicated on not being aware of the positions of other planes? You're basically saying that we should plan for accidents, because wearing a seatbelt is somehow... what? Cumbersome?

Google has made it incredibly hard for content to rank on its own if your site isn't seen as "authoritative" (read: has tons of backlinks and is at least 6+ months old). For most competitive terms, you won't rank at all unless you have a Domain Authority (DA) in excess of 30+

It makes content creators miserable. Some of us just want to write good stuff and get traffic through Google, not build backlinks and be a SEO

I created a bot a while back based on phantom.js a headless browser. Mostly I wanted to see if upvotes could be scripted and I wanted to play with phantom.js. It seems that the system is based on 1 vote per public IP. It's possible to use many instances of DO/GCloud/AWS.

I would suggest that there are probably a few vote brigade bots out there. I think the most common bot would be a story cross poster, which takes top-stories from places like lobste.rs et. al. and posts them to HN to build reputation.
Your point is wrong, though. Targeting everyone based on their distinct still isn't being equally hostile to everyone - you're just more exclusionary. That just means gaming communities are racist and fat shaming and etc in addition to being sexist. Equal harassment would mean they target people based on shared characteristics - like skill level, for example.

One name, Snowden.

He has criminal charges for releasing all these informations about the NSA.

Now in the following scenario if the NSA knew that one of their employees was about to release all that to the public and all they knew about was a flight number he booked to leave the country.

Do you think that in that scenario it's not a big deal if they got Google to provide them the names of everyone that searched that flight?
Whether or not you think that 'the last 150 years [...] is a historical anomaly' is irrelevant. The fact is that it was better, and there's no legitimate reason that it should now be worse except for the anticompetitive actions of a few big corporations that loss lead by providing expensive-to-produce services for free to eliminate competition.
Revolutions have failed in many ways, but they have an upside: putting pressure on the elite to do something in order to maintain what they have (and to keep their heads glued to the body). Why do you think we have working rights around the world nowadays? Because a bunch of crazy people decided to fight against the prevailing status in the beginning of XX century, and even run a revolution if necessary. Nowadays people are too afraid of doing anything, this is the perfect scenario for the downward social spiral that we're seeing in the XXI century.
Given that Elite game [1] used to run on Sinclair with Z80 processor and 48kB of memory, any complaints about the costs nowadays sound ridiculous. If our software infrastructure was coded by Elite programmers, we would be able to run in at 0.01% of the cost.

The only problem with MOOCs I've had is that they assume the message boards are usable (they're not) and basically non-existent study groups. The boards are insanely slow and they're no substitute for office hours or a study group. Study groups are hard to put together because most people don't have 2-5 people in real life interested in taking the course and have time to come together on a Friday night. Though I'm a little embarrassed to admit it, those two factors have caused me to "fudge" the homework a little bit because there's just no way I can tackle something like that on my own and finish it on time. I still learned the material, but there's always the guilt that I "cheated" because I just don't have the time to finish it without any external help.
