General Relativity is an inherently local theory. QM is inherently nonlocal. In decades of trying, nobody has figured out how to come up with a theory that bridges them.

But to add, there are at least ideas, it is not the case that we made no progress at all. I would like to highlight the ER=EPR conjecture [1] by Leonard Susskind and Juan Maldacena. It roughly states that entangled particles are connected by worm holes and that they are therefore not actually separated in space. Personally I prefer a less sensationalist sounding description, that entanglement defines what it means for points in space to be close together or far apart. This avoids constantly visualizing pairs of particle connected by glowing worm holes from science fiction movies.

A few remarks:

0. It's a hard problem. I have a deep respect for your trying to tackle it.

1. The hard part is that it all matters on day one and everyone will get a lot of stuff wrong for a long while and some stuff wrong always when attempting non-trivial projects. This is the rule whether it's Python or Common Lisp or Racket.

2. I'm a fan of polyglotting languages in general and Lisp's in particular. For a person really just starting out, I'd point them at the Racket ecosystem because it is designed to be newbie friendly with student languages and Common Lisp is designed for production programming on hard problems.

2. For people with some programming experience and simple curiosity, I'd just advise them to install SBCL and play around in the REPL. With an exercise of adding a script to wrap it in readline. And some exercises using the text editor of their choice to load and read and write files and such.

3. I don't think that there's a way to add training wheels to SLIME and Quicklisp and ASDF as the development environment. It just won't ever be DrRacket. At best it produces something like Aphyr's Clojure from the Ground Up...which uses Emacs; is more like a book; and definitely a labor of love. It also dives into the details at day one.

None of which means I might not submit a pull request. But I take what Norvig says seriously -- http://norvig.com/21-days.html

Again, kudos for taking it on.

You're assuming a pure profit motive. Literally everything Elon Musk is doing has a strong element of trying to save the world.

The goal of Tesla is to make every new car sold electric, if they have to command 100% of the market they will do that, but they'd rather there be some competition.
If labor costs are only a small fraction of overall production posts and the rest is capital (i.e. machines), then this difference becomes unimportant. And this is increasingly the case.
Hehe, a 'few weeks'. It's far more common to get 0 or 1 paid week if you don't have an office job, and even then you usually have to be with a company for at least 3 years to get more than 2 weeks, which is becoming less and less desirable if you want to advance in your career now that pensions are virtually extinct.

Unemployment is our only real vacation, and those who go through extended periods of that know it feels like anything but.

Software developers might have it better, although not always. Here in the midwest I have yet to interview anywhere that offered more than 2 weeks of vacation for a new hire.
> I wish we had politicians who would treat Americans as adults and tell them things they don't want to hear.

If that's what Americans wanted, they'd vote for it; but they don't, they prefer politicians who tell them what they want to hear and so that's who they put into office. Want to lose an election, tell the truth.
These are supply-side arguments that still continue to fail to impress when implemented in reality.

Just to narrow to one obvious piece: the difference in type of energy matters if the goal is to support local manufacturing. It's a variation of the "Buy Local" argument applied to manufacturing suppliers. Reducing the cost/regulation of oil/gas/coal doesn't support local manufacturing near as much as it continues to support/cheapen global shipping costs (because oil/gas/coal continue to transport well across borders, and continue to keep cargo ships/planes fed). On the other hand, increasing solar/wind is a much more "local" energy resource investment (it's tough enough just to store it for time-shifting, much less to transport across borders) and might be better for the stated goal.

As for the question, I was trying to discern if amzn was making the video conf functionality (debuted with the Kindle Fire) for customer service available, or if integration was contemplate​d and discussed in the content. It does not appear as such.

It's natural selection, regrettably. Things that won't rile people up display poor fitness. Technically, I think it's a human problem.
The objects in boxes scenario you have described is useful to think about when coming to grips with QM and entanglement. However, one needs to be careful, because there is an additional subtlety: QM can have measurement scenarios that are not only entangled, but also non-local [1]. This means that it is provably impossible to endow the variables that you are measuring with prior, local assignments, e.g. like in the boxes scenario. So there is actually another phenomenon present in QM that makes it weird, and is strictly speaking distinct from entanglement.

This might, just possibly, be the worst headline of all time.
>people have claimed over one million

According to the Wikipedia article 2 people have linked to you, only Opinion Research Business survey claims it was one million. And only one million, not "maybe 2 million or more!". If you have evidence or other sources, could you please contribute to our collective knowledge by updating the Wikipedia page? You don't even need an account to do it and we're all guaranteed relative quality by editor review that way.

>And you can easily make an argument for the fact that the war never really ended

When you say "Iraq War" people are going to think you mean this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_War which took place from 2003-2011. There's an article on the Iraqi Civil War if you want to talk about that, but it's a different thing. If you want to talk about Middle East action in general, ok, but as we go on you're going to be lumping more and more extremely complicated conflicts into your "This is the NYT's fault" argument, which is already tenuous.

>simply pointing out that NYT functions as a critical cog in the overall propaganda machine

Dude, this is an extraordinary claim. You can't just toss that tidbit over the wall and be like "FACTS!" You gotta support that. You haven't yet, that I can see.

>agenda

Extraordinary claim. Burden of proof (or at least argument) is on you.

>NYT is the mouthpiece of the established powers

How can that be true when NYT is critical of the current government? Are you suggesting there's a shadow-government that is opposed to Trump, and in control of the NYT as well as the US military?

>maybe you're on the side of people... who think that killing hundreds of thousands

Stop trying to do that. It's so fucking transparent when you try to derail the argument through personal attack via non sequitur like that. You want to talk about propaganda techniques? You're (attempting) to employ them as mechanically as if you've got the "Guide to Misinformation via Trolling on the Internet" textbook sat next to you.

A commenter above says that it's a proven fact that Fox News is interested in nothing but propaganda, and the NYT is dedicated to truth, though they occasionally fail. When I look back on the Bush administration, and I think about how Code Pink was pushed front-and-center for 8 years by ABC/NBC/CBS, protesting the war(s), and how they absolutely disappeared once Obama took over, even though he materially continued the same policy in the middle east, I can't help but feel that every organization that is NOT Fox News was joined together in PRECISELY the same sort of propaganda that Fox is accused of. But, hey, I guess it's just me.
Yeah, I feel you. I found kubernetes very hard to learn as well. I wanted was to find a good tool to run a SaaS (to handle 10k users). Only after reading up a lot did I even realize that this was not for me. I had fallen into the Hackernews hype trap and thought kubernetes is the right tool for me. I am back to my simple docker based deploys in 5 EC2 instances. It's very much by hand but works with some simple instructions to follow on a wiki page.

I have also found kubernetes labor hard to find. The ones I found were way too expensive for me (upwards of 150k USD).
> What do you mean by checking against double-free?

I pay small runtime cost for the check by having guard values around every allocation. At first I wanted to enable it only in debug builds, but I am too lazy to disable it in release builds, so it's there too. Anyway the overhead is small and I do not allocate often during runtime.

> Anyway, double-free was only an example. The point is that a language can, or not, provide safety by itself.

I can write safe code in modern C++ (and probably in C) and I can write unsafe code in e.g. Rust, only difference is which mode is default for the language. On the other hand I have to be prepared to pay the performance (or other) price for safe code.

> In the case of C and C++, they are full of UB, and in the general case UB means you are dead.

I doubt there is a big C or C++ program without UB, does that mean they are all dead? I do not think so.

> I find that extremely unfortunate, but this is the reality I have to deal with, so I don't pretend it does not exist...

I do not like UB in C++ too, but mostly because it does not make sense on platforms I use. On the other hand I can understand that the language can not make such platform-specific assumptions. I can pretend UB does not exist with some restrictions. UB in reality does not mean that the compiler randomly do whatever he wants, it do whatever he wants but consistently. But as I said it twice, it depends on use case. Am I writing for SpaceX or some medical instruments? Probably not a good idead to ignore UB. Am I making writing a new Unreal Engine? Probably not a good idea to worry much about UB, since I would never finish.
Indeed. They need to be at that sweet spot where they're maximizing outrage, but the content is still plausibly true vs say.. tabloids, where a ton of content is completely fabricated and people know it.
You might also want to look at ren-C (https://github.com/metaeducation/ren-c), a fork of the open sourced Rebol 3 (which isn't an active repo). It can be build with an embedded TCC so you can write C in-line for functions where you need a speed boost.

Hydrogen is unlikely to win, it's fair to say that it has already lost [1]. The hydrogen economy was mostly a myth [2]. 95% of hydrogen is made from natural gas [3].

This sort of "all blacks must be poor and perpetually victims of racism" narrative was exploited very well during the Democratic Primary by the Hillary campaign. And then Trump happened. It was and is shameful.

And yet, the fact is that among those 75% of blacks who aren't poor, a much higher ratio of them as compared with whites (even poorer whites) will fall victim to a great many life-impacting negatives, from poorer quality of treatment by medical professionals to discrimination in finance. The difference is definitely related to racism.

Also, his anecdote certainly isn't typical for poor folks or black folks, and especially not poor black folks. Overall he has a decent point regarding the "poor, racism beaten" stereotype, but it's not very well argued, in my view.
Once I accumulated so much rollover vacation time I decided "I'm not working Fridays anymore" which lasted for many months. I found out later someone had complained to my manager about this, since I was unreachable. That same company had experimented with a 7:30 - 11:30 schedule on Fridays (7:30 - 5:30 Mon-Thurs) which was great: you'd miss heavy traffic coming in and get a head start on every weekend. But someone in the field complained about corporate being unreachable and they ended that too.... The problem is the "flexible thinking" people always come up against the "Bill Lumberghs" of the world and everyone is pulled down to the lowest common denominator.
> if they present an equally biased perspective

Where has it been said that they're both equally biased?

I don't know anything about American news, this is all from an Australian perspective, but if a right-wing paper runs fairly standard stories and occasionally has an opinion piece on stricter border controls; and a left-wing paper runs page after page after page of manipulative appeals to emotion full of terrible anecdotal "evidence", nobody would suggest that they were equally biased. The same works in reverse. You don't get to declare a Facist state and openly call for the execution of all Muslims because your rival paper ran an investigative story into refugee camp abuse and then go on to claim an equal bias.
Having worked mostly with mesos and k8s, I found k8s configuration superior, e.g. how one can import secrets, config files, and more importantly set up the network without address translation or port forwarding.
Tooling seems OK with both, and I agree one needs to spend some time to get familiar with the CLI and nomenclature, IMHO because both are quite flexible and powerful.
Seems like society works like a pendulum.

People spend decades fighting discrimination based on race. But, in the end, their focus on race makes it a defining characteristic.

We try and fix one imbalance, and end up just shifting it around. Still I guess we're better off today than in the 1960's.
Wow - here's what I found most telling about the article: The top Highlight was this:

"The real problems are things like unanimous votes at Venture Capital firms. There is always someone who “can’t get comfortable” with the Black guy’s deal. It’s grey, and blurred, and subtle, and can always be substantiated by some facts."

And the rest of the paragraph is:

"And though this type of discrimination exists, it certainly does not leave Black entrepreneurs completely under funded and out in the cold. For example, Black women are the fastest growing group of entrepreneurs in the country — outpacing all other startups by six times the national average. This is significant, yet woefully under reported."

So the thing people want to highlight in his article are the only two sentences which fit the narrative he's trying to counter. SMH...
Are you in the US? I've never been in a salaried role in a US tech company that has a contract. And as a salaried employee who has worked at a bunch of companies, I've always enforced a good work/life balance for myself, and I've done quite well.
Check out Nomad, I have no personal experience with it yet but it seems the best candidate so far for what we are planning in terms of docker deployment and so on.
I'm not sure how you expect people not to construct narratives around their point of view. If you read the Wall Street Journal and New York Times stories about the same event (or the Financial Times and Guardian stories about the same event) you'll see slightly different stories told with slightly different subsets of the available facts. That's what having a point of view is all about.

I'd rather get the Times point of view from the Times stories and the WSJ point of view from the WSJ stories than ask them to converge on exactly the same dry list of uninterpreted facts (if that were even possible.) They can try to do justice to other points of view, and it certainly helps their credibility when they're able to, but I wouldn't depend on it. Not even if they had the purest motivations. It's better to have a diversity of voices than to have one dominant voice doing a ventriloquist act.

Also, I think people ask for "fairness and understanding" but want a great deal more; they want to feel that their ideas are held in equal esteem, when in reality ideas can't all have an equal share of social approval. If I went to a singles bar with Ryan Gosling, I could justifiably ask to be treated with equal civility, but not with equal enthusiasm. No amount of civility or journalistic detachment can enable us to forget that different ideas prevail among different groups of people with different levels of wealth, power, social prestige, and cultural cachet.
Hmmm I don't know about that. Growing up my father was a tool maker (worked for Molex), that means he figured out how to make the molds people designed. That sounds easy to some, but understanding how to cut different materials the right way is a pretty unique skill.

Anyways, he basically trained his replacement(s) before they laid off a large portion of his machine shop. He trained probably 15 - 20 Chinese over the course of a few years. In the end, as expected, they laid him off. Fast forward 10 years and they had to bring a lot of the tool making back.

Turns out the Chinese either had worse quality control or poorer skill, but they simply couldn't produce at the same level. You only need a few molds for a production line, but each needs to be near perfect. The Chinese couldn't do it. And even when they did / could, the intellectual property was often stolen, so competitors would pop up and customers would get pissed.

You're correct automation is needed. However, so is high quality standards, higher education, higher moral codes / higher pay to keep people honest. The fact is, you can't really find skilled labor elsewhere easily (they want the same as the US wages). That's why the US's number one export is education, and probably why every company still fights over software engineers and really every STEM field.

Unfortunately for manufacturing, the fight is over. When they tried to bring the tool making back there were very few people still doing it. Every single one of my dad's friends (including my dad) had moved on to other jobs. The fact is, all that tribal knowledgewas passed down from master to apprentice was lost. After they laid off the masters, there was/is no one left to really continue.

Personally, I view this as a loss of critical mass and now our skills are likely no better than anywhere else, at least for tool making.

I think this is a warning for every business. Sometimes it's worth paying the price to keep talent. Companies like Google, Apple, et al, know this. Hopefully, that will keep tech and a lot of the other large US companies from losing their way.
I wouldn't say it's a toxic company or sinking ship, but from the three points below they don't seem to value engineering much. As it's your first job, so you probably don't have a ton of leverage -- though if you had other offers, I would consider re-opening conversations with them, and if you can find a new job pretty quickly, you can just leave this job off your resume in the future.

* No coding styles, CI or tooling conventions are implemented (causing many issues).

* I was given low-performance hardware (that makes my compiling/testing time twice as much as my actual coding time) due to budget.

* Marketing and sales people have (implicit and explicit) privileged treatment compared to developer teams.
Interesting that you steer clear of the Bay Area, NYC, and Boston. Do you think being more aggressive would substantially grow the business? (At a potential cost of taking more time than you have available.)
Yes, I believe that generating believable fiction programatically is still difficult today. Lots has changed since Covert Action was developed (game size is no longer constrained by 3.5" floppies and computer performance is hugely improved), but generating believable story lines without lots of templates is still difficult.
What is the function for running Maybe, or List?
I cut my teeth using Ember a few years back, the whole community is amazing and does great work. Using react/redux now, and while I think it's the simplest and most pragmatic approach (the connect function changed the game), I think the api's over in clojurescript land, specifically re-frame are the best . It's conceptually the same as react/redux, but with a few more facilities for isolating side effects in actions, and a wayyyyy simpler api for querying the store in functional components.

But what I came to say is I think templating languages are sub par. Using an actual programming language that returns "html", or some variant (like clojurescripts hiccup language) is way more useful. I wouldn't use this because of that.
>This hinges on a common fallacy that insists there are a fixed number of jobs.

There's a very common fallacy that says that people have an unlimited amount of desires. Urban people (that are most) consume basically all the time, so you won't get all those new jobs unless you greatly increase the complexity of people's desires (we are doing that) or automate consumption.
Right, which is why I'm confused that you objected to it.

I absolutely hate any sort of HTML directives or non-trivial templating which in my mind violate the RoLP. You have a fundamentally simple technology and you're shoehorning complexity into it with the end result being there are multiple ways to implement everything. In my mind I'd rather have one tool to do everything -- Javascript. I don't think of JSX as HTML, I think of it more like Elm does -- a way to structure your UI in code which just happens to compile to HTML.

As for mapping JSX to HTML I think React's biggest strength is it's composability. But it comes with a price: things start to smell very, very quickly unless you religiously separate concerns.
