A rookie’s guide to raising investment
Newton and Einstein were absolutely brilliant beyond their time, and would definitely have continued to make great contributions. Overall people have gotten smarter over the generations, but the geniuses of the past would still be geniuses today. In mathematics alone there are dozens of examples of people who were proving things that we still haven't replicated. Just by looking through their notes we have found solutions to problems we hadn't been able to solve yet.

>This is - look, you can't argue that someone has the right to live based on their life achievements. This is like the ultimate perversion of the 'american drem' delusion - just achieve great thing and you can live forever.

I'm very anti-libertarian and totally against the idea that the ends justify the means wrt achievement. However geniuses do exist, and their productivity is very often cut short by death or age. As a race we would have been able to gain immensely if a few hundred people had lived a decade or two longer.
Is there a currently updated database of local papers by region? I honestly have no idea how many local news papers are available to my area. I know of at least four from having seen them at the market, but no place online to check for more. I am finding dozens of historical dbs but none current.

Edit: http://www.onlinenewspapers.com/
This is a great example of a webpage that does one thing really well. The problem of "when should I go to bed?" seems simple. But just doing the subtraction of REM cycles is to much friction for me to have ever done it.

What made you think of making that a site?
"The internet" is to broad. This is only about american privacy protections. The rest of the internet remains protected. If anything this local trend away from privacy places US internet businesses in a more difficult place. As US customers are less protected year on year, canadian, uk and european customers are being covered by stronger rules. The lawyers and compliance experts (me) will win biggly as everyone starts setting up complex schemes to bridge the two worlds.

Yes, offshoring all our manufacturing to places with no worker protections, no environmental protections, long work weeks, and poor wages is absolutely a liberal policy. We're all about winning the race to the bottom.

The World Bank and the IMF have always been the left's shining beacons, that bring progressive enlightenment to the downtrodden masses, the global south is not being ruthlessly exploited by multinationals, and we've always been at war with Eastasia.

I mean, that's not how I remember the politics of the 90s, but who's to say?

That's nice, but no one can afford to go establish a colony in orbit around Saturn by themselves; that money has to come from somewhere, and it's a huge amount. That means you need to justify that expenditure of resources, and get other people to fund it. Personally, I'm not willing to work my ass off to spend a bunch of my money funding such a project. An automated probe, sure; a mission to investigate the potential for asteroid mining, sure; a Moon base, maybe. Some silly project with nothing going for it besides a few people who want me to fund their fantasy? And they want me to work hard here so they can have fun with no practical benefit? Hell no.

Even with your "jump on a ship" bit, European exploration of the "New World" was very expensive and required investment from wealthy patrons. It wasn't something a small group of adventurers could just do on their own.
I'll do you one better and name three. Japan. South Korea. China. All three implemented protectionist tariffs, and industrial policy that involved the government "picking winners and losers".
The culture has an ideology about race which is shared and fed by the media. It's almost a nostalgia for the sixties where people want to pin halos on themselves by pretending its the 60s and that they are fighting against segregated buses etc.

The demand for stories which fit this narrative outstrip the supply. The same thing can be seen with various 'hate crimes' which are eventually revealed as hoaxes. The media - and the public - are strangely desperate for this bigoted world to exist - because they can feel more noble fighting it.

I'm guessing it has something to do with all the ideological refugees, in academia and the media, from the 60s and 70s who are fighting battles that are long over.

> Please name the country which achieved its legendary prosperity through a planned economy, protectionism, or a programme of economic isolation.

Do you think that free-trade economics represents the perfection of economic thinking?

My point is: these stark choices that you and others are presenting are the artifacts of an economic dogma. That dogma shouldn't be confused with the truth and blind us to better ways of thinking. Perhaps getting the most goods for the least money-cost is not in fact the best deal? Perhaps there are other things that should be attended to, even if they're not packaged neatly in a compact ideological framework.

I am not questioning the demand. I am questioning the commitment of people who put down a refundable deposit on a product they had very little information about. I am one of those people who threw down my $1000 before any of the presentations. I am still not sure whether I will purchase one. My interest has actually waned with recent leaks like the complete lack of any dashboard readouts. However I am still perfectly fine with Tesla keeping my deposit until I make a final decision. The opportunity costs of that extra $50-$150 is worth a lot less to me than the chance of securing a Tesla quickly if a do make the purchase (not to mention it increases my odds of a full federal tax rebate). I can't imagine I am the only one of the 400,000 with that mindset.
What about when calls come in from their constituents to tell them that a bill is bad? I called my representative, and I saw a considerable amount of people rallying others to do the same.
I think you mean a high slave to citizen ratio.
>This is good.

Yes, a bill requiring adults to pay $20 and send in a written request just to be able to use their "internet access device" normally is brilliant. I'm not sure why this wasn't implemented sooner.

It just seems so obviously good, especially when you consider that historically, adult content filters have a false positive rate of 0%.

The model is far more established than you might think. The first general-circulation newspapers in the US were largely party political organs, some of which retain elements of that in their names: the Arizona Republic was originally the Arizona Republican. Papers with Union in their titles occasionally reflect a labour bent.

That faded with the advent of mass-market advertising, which grew tremendously from about 1860 onward, and becoming a mounting concern in the 1890s and 1900s.

I've mentioned Hamilton Holt's short book (notes of a lecture, really), Commercialism and Journalism (1909) a few times. The first section is a very good breakdown of the role of advertising in media.

First off, you're disappointed that one of the two primary political parties in the United States unambiguously agrees with you on this issue?

Six more flipped Republicans would have killed this bill, which would have meant this wouldn't happen. You have the ability to make a real difference here by calling your Representative and telling them how you expect them to vote.

But, instead, what I'm hearing is that you're throwing up your hands and saying 'party line votes!' Call next time. It'll make a difference.
There's a great book called Start Small, Stay Small: A Developer's Guide to Launching a Startup by Rob Walling [1]. It's by far my favorite book I've read on this subject and made me reconsider my approach of trying to monetize a side project. It was written in 2010 but is still highly relevant and recommended here from time to time. (There's similar free content on his blog as well.)

One important idea from the book is the distinction of side project/product confusion:

> A project is a software application that you build as a fun side project. The code is fun to write because you’re not concerned about quality and performance, and the end result is a neat little application that likely isn’t of use to many people.

> A product is a project that people will pay money for. In other words, it’s a project that has a market (a group of people who want to buy it). Without a market, a software application is just a project.

I think it's important to start in the right place here. Both approaches are fun but they have opposing goals. If you want to build a product that makes money, start with the market. If you want to build a side project... that's great, just keep in mind that when a side project tries to tack on "and make money" later, it mostly doesn't work.

"may lead to arbitrary code execution" often means they didn't take the time to detect whether it does.

Reason is that it isn't worthwhile to spend time on that. Firstly, it is typically impossible to prove that a vulnerability cannot lead to arbitrary code execution (to do so, you would likely have to know _all_ vulnerabilities in your code), and secondly, defense in depth still requires plugging all holes, even if you can _now_ prove they just lead to an impregnable barrier.

And already infected devices very, very likely are safe after a reboot (the OS will only run signed code, and the malware isn't signed, or even considered code), but still may carry files that could infect systems running older iOS versions.

US Code 1182 (f)

Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President

Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. Whenever the Attorney General finds that a commercial airline has failed to comply with regulations of the Attorney General relating to requirements of airlines for the detection of fraudulent documents used by passengers traveling to the United States (including the training of personnel in such detection), the Attorney General may suspend the entry of some or all aliens transported to the United States by such airline.

Something that is not mentioned in the article is that the FCC regulations in question were passed in October 2016 and have never gone in to effect. So, to be strictly accurate, the vote does not roll back any regulations which actually ever affected the internet.

Of course, you do need a 9-5 job, because you moved to the city for your last job because that's the only area that could employ you, and you need that job to afford the apartment you got in the area with employment.

My significant other works part time and would have to move back home, basically, to afford basic shelter and food. And it's not like the productivity gains are going to leave management--literally a laughable concept.

Finally, over 50% of retirees retired earlier than expected (which is not to say they dipped into retirement early; I have no idea about that stat, but IIRC it's even a higher rate). You can't not plan for retirement and be rational.

Retirement itself is a modern concept to encourage older workers to leave their jobs to younger workers. It's a 20th century invention. Humans have, for the vast majority of existence, worked until death.
Agreed. :(

This should probably be on the short list of reasons we have so much burnout in our sector.

Anecdotal evidence, of course, but nobody I know is using Curse, nor is it on our radar. TBF, this is probably due to a lack of interest in the group of certain games where the Curse client may already have a foothold, AND the fact that our group already has multiple established Discord instances (heavy use, most games) and a rented TeamSpeak server (for Arma 3 and the TFAR plugin for it, it does positional audio and dynamically handles per-user volume in each client to simulate radio channels and interference).

@jhgg - Can you speak on any plans to offer some sort of positional audio functionality in the Discord API? Perhaps you can use the existing game hooks available for the Mumble API's positional audio system? Being able to fully ditch TeamSpeak would be a big win for my group, and a disruptive move for you guys.

Additionally, I love just about everything about the Discord client, but I would like to see voice quality improve to the level of where I remember Mumble to be, though admittedly I haven't used that in a while, though remember it to be fantastic, barring network hiccups. I also have an issue, both on the desktop client and the Android one, where @notifications come in 'late', from minutes to hours. Furthermore on the desktop client, the notifications aren't always shown on screen, as a timer seems to be started before the pop-up is actually drawn, and something like the accompanying HDD activity during that timer lifetime can cause the timer to expire before the notification is drawn on screen.
So long, and don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Pretty sure the NYT is also committed to maximizing profit. Otherwise, they wouldn't paywall every article.

The votes in both the house and the senate were almost entirely along party lines. Every republican in the senate that voted, voted for this act and every democrat in the senate that voted, voted against this act.
Business level service would permit and not throttle VPN. For consumer products, it will (probably) be an add-on. Whether they block or throttle or do both, is a market opportunity each ISP will decide.
The solution to this problem isn't to forsake specialization. It is to admit that specialization exists and for legislators to specialize in synthesizing the arguments of both lobbyists and their constituents and to be aggressively transparent about them. This requires a lot of work though -- a legislator would have to write a lot of posts that sounded like "and today I met with Yan Zhu from the EFF. She argued that secure encryption was vital to America's ability to reduce the cost of communication in healthcare by enabling trust in ... I was skeptical because X, and Y etc". The barriers to this happening are:

- Constituents don't generally follow their congresspeople. Nobody is subbbed to /r/HoR12thdistrictofCA.

- Legislators don't have the time to do such updates because they spend a lot of it fundraising.

- Being honest about how they evaluate arguments would leave legislators open to the scorn of people who think the government officials should never have misconceptions or make errors of reasoning.

On any individual product, Amazon makes more when they sell it, most likely. But the point is, that there are way more products sold by 3rd party than within Amazon. So in aggregate, they make more on 3p.
I tried to set this straight in my comment. Charlie does not get to choose the fruit, the fruit is chosen at random. I just allowed Charlie to make the choice to emphasize that the choice happens outside of the room. Had I just said the choice happens at random, then it would not be obvious why this random choice could not also be made in the room with Alice. But then we were back at Bob leaving the room with either an apple or a pear.

Have I look at my other comment with coins in boxes [1], that picture captures the situation better and in a way that is not easily translated to fruits.

My not-yet-expert* response whenever my classmates joke about me building some AI robot-doc to replace them:

"AI will become just another tool in a physician's toolkit."

AI will not replace the role of a doctor. However, the role of a doctor might shift to overseeing the AI in very specific scenarios. Furthermore, I'll add that there's a lot more to medicine than making diagnoses.

As it stands right now we have no limit of promising applications of AI in healthcare. The bigger issue is getting these applications into the clinic. Very few of these boundless applications are actually implemented in a real-life setting that can affect patient outcomes. I can't tell you how many studies are published proclaiming, "HEY AI CAN DO X BETTER THAN DOCS." Cool study, bro. Now can you actually get that into clinic and start saving lives?

This is pretty silly. If your Linux machine gets owned up through an RCE flaw, you aren't going to be able to rely on the "transparency" of Linux to detect the attacker. Just like with Linux, iOS KRCE is game-over for casual detection.

One thing that I think is being ignored and was not mentioned in the article is that the referenced regulations were passed by the FCC near the tail-end of the Obama administration and never actually went into effect. So, strictly speaking, this vote did not change ISP regulations, it just keeps them the same as they have been in the past.

If my argument was impaired, it was certainly less impaired than the parent, who declared that the glorious free and open internet is over (b. 1974, d. 2017) because of this regulatory rollback.

By the way, the fact that you cannot predict Microsoft's "new and exciting" ways of targeting me is a great example of why your argument is unconvincing. Do you really want me to believe that, as long as we kept this rule in place, network providers would never conceive of novel ways to participate in the advertising business using the network-level data they enjoy?

Your best friend, if you are looking for a no-tracking digital lifestyle, is the free market's likelihood of delivering to you just that. It may come at a premium price, which I assume you'll be happy to pay. At the moment, you are just making everyone else pay a premium price for the no-tracking digital lifestyle you prefer, and relying on bureaucrats in D.C. to patch up the rules from time to time to keep up with novel targeting methods.
