VC cash only seems like it's having a large effect on the world because you read Hacker News and work in Tech.

The total value of VC investment in 2015 (the most recent data I could find) was around 60 billion. The US GDP in 2015 was 18,036 Billion. I can assure you its influence on our economy as a whole is miniscule.

You're not wrong about the temporary "propped up" nature of our economy however. Except the cause is not VC money, it's low interest rates courtesy of the Fed.
I don't really know what to do with this news... I mean... do I cancel my 401k, do I sell my house, do I dig a bunker? Recessions come and go, right? What can you do to prepare for the future except keep your debts cleared, keep a certain amount of cash on hand (I like about 6 month's worth), invest the rest as wisely as you can... and y'know... cross your fingers.

There will be ups and downs. Life is long. And this is a depressing topic. (=
>Two of the vulnerabilities can be triggered when connecting to networks supporting wireless roaming features; 802.11r Fast BSS Transition (FT), or Cisco’s CCKM roaming.

From reading the actual Project Zero post yesterday, the exploit was figured out using the fast BSS transition which I think is for high frequency p2p transmission, i.e. sending a video to your Chromecast. So you still have to be connected to the same network.

I think Group 2 is, in practice, more reasonable. It seems like the only time someone gets banned is when they're a huge asshole about whatever controversial opinion they may have. I've yet to see a tactful, levelheaded person be banned for their controversial views. It's like the only casualties with Group 2's ideals are annoying assholes, which hardly feels like a loss.

To me, having terrible people silenced in your community seems far better of a "drawback" than having marginalized people harassed in your community.

I did notice it is an old article, however the citation is not correct and defending it makes me think you could still use some work in that area. The paragraph with the citation discusses the relative importance of dopamine to the frontal lobe vs. the rest of the brain. The article you cite does not address that, not even in a side comment as far as I can tell.

Independent of the citation, I think it is misleading to call the whole frontal lobe (or even prefrontal cortex) a "hub" although reasonable to note the significance of dopamine there. The second sentence I consider factually incorrect considering the major role dopamine has in the striatum (also "processing dopamine" doesn't really describe what you are talking about).

As tempting as it is, connecting brain structure and functioning to human experience is more likely to be misleading than accurate and particularly so the shorter the explanation is (no matter how well researched and explained). Making such claims in this type of article is misrepresenting scientific knowledge and I encourage you to avoid doing so (as popular as this is :( ).

You're likely being down voted due to your attitude. It's one thing to politely argue a position, quite another to ask rhetorical questions as though everyone else is stupid for not knowing the obvious.
You suggest folly as a possible explanation, but there are a few problems with the cogency of that.

1) You point to nothing in this paper, other research, my comment, or contemporary comments of others to support that hypothesis.

2) The behavior you describe skeptically could match equally well a society where most people live unaware of a great truth hidden to them, in part because the government has made even acquiring information illegal.

In North Korea, a small minority whisper fantastical ideas that are difficult to comprehend, let alone believe. Most of the world is not starving. Places exist with untold self-determination. Our leader is not God. These people often speak with an almost "evangelical zeal".

3) Do you see me doing thrill-seeker liquor store holdups with a "Born to Lose" tattoo on my chest? Ok that was De Niro, but the point is how do you explain people who do not fit the profile? I am not new age, spiritual, or culturally connected to these ideas. I resent mysticism, super natural forces, and magic.

Of course I accept the possibility of being wrong. But the little recent research governments have allowed hasn't yet pointed to that. And until it does how can I deny things that, while anecdotal, are based on first hand observations?

Maybe we'll have solid data some day, if I'm wrong I'll buy you a beer.

It's an extremely bad design if they're sticking with it. When I first saw that with the initial promos they did, I assumed the monitor was a temporary stand-in because of how bad of an approach it was. In my opinion, people are not going to like having a large, stand-out, awkwardly placed computer monitor as the sole instrument panel. Even worse is how ugly the concept is, that it's not integrated into the design of the console / center panel area. It's jarring, out of place and requires your eyes leave the road to a much greater extent just to check basic readouts. Even now I find it hard to believe Tesla could make such an obviously bad decision, surely it's still an older test example.

The car itself already borders on ugly. The Model S is a much better looking and well designed vehicle. Throw in the monitor mistake and I wouldn't pay $20,000 for the Model 3. I'd rather wait and see what the European competitors come up with, and or wait and see if Tesla builds a better follow-on version.

The Model 3 will dramatically underwhelm on sales. Tesla will miss Musk's infamous initial sales target by a minimum of 50%.

They severely impaired the overall aesthetic appeal of the car to force the one-curve all glass roof. It was a poor choice, causes an ugly off-set bubble look from the side.

The BMW sedans are aging big time at this point (and BMW knows it), however when you look at the two cars side by side, as in with the recent street photos that were just released, the Model 3 looks like a cheap toy rather than a $35,000+ luxury sedan that is meant to take on the BMW 3 series.
Isn't that effectively what the EFF is?
IIRC a well thought out idea has long been to have privacy, in various forms, handled by the FTC. Then the recent change for the FCC was to go ahead and get the FCC out of privacy and move, hand over, transfer what the FCC was doing on privacy to the FTC.

I have read nothing and have no idea what the consequences will be for privacy. E.g., maybe the FTC will, net, give us better regulation of privacy or maybe worse.

I'm not saying it's changing the exponential nature of the market. It's just more properly displaying the data for human interpretation. Looking at a linear chart of historical price data will cause you to make bad decisions.

A linear y-axis is terrible for viewing historical market data because you can't compare percent changes across historical periods. Because the price of the market has grown exponentially, any movement in 1929 for example looks like a minor blip in comparison to anything happening in present day (due to the exponential price appreciation).

On a log scale, you can see that movement in the proper context compared to 2000 and 2007.

Your exactly right... savings and debt are always exactly balances with the small exception of the gold that is still sitting on the Federal Reserves balanace sheet.

Currently the savings and debt dynamics are skewed with a large amount of savings being held or controlled by very high net worth individuals and the debt being held widely. These situations have always in the past resulted in deflationary periods like we saw in the 1890's 1929 and recently in 2008.

The current economy is a lot like the old company store in mining towns where everyone is in debt to the company store and the only things that you can buy are what the company store sells.

Your first link is from Title 33, Chapter 18, which is titled "LONGSHORE AND HARBOR WORKERS’ COMPENSATION". The words "federal" and "agent" appear nowhere in it, so... I think not. Maybe this is what you're looking for (as referred to in your second link):

> The threshold of "obtaining a benefit" or "obtained thing of value" is pretty low. Is a massive Twitter following a benefit? Is positive press coverage or access a benefit or valuable?

Absolutely ridiculous. If you want to play these sorts of word games, though, I might point out that this person is not pretending (or not) "to be an officer or employee acting under the authority of the United States or any department, agency or officer thereof". They are not pretending (or not) to act under any authority. Anyone can post whatever they like on Twitter (at Twitter's discretion and according to their TOS).

In other words, it would be illegal to flash a fake badge at someone and then tell them you'll take them to jail if they don't follow you on Twitter, but that's not what this is.

> Alternatively, this person is a federal employee and they've been actively working against their boss and employer (aka POTUS).

In truth, free speech DOES mean business shouldn't censor arbitrarily on their own platform.

Free speech isn't just a quirky law to restrain the government. It's a social virtue which should all try to uphold, everywhere, because it makes our society better.

Free speech is comparable to honesty in this way, as a generalized social virtue.

The law against government censorship is to the principle of free speech as the law against perjury is to the principle of honesty.

Honesty and free speech are universal principles; violating them is often legal but generally not ethical.

This becomes more and more important as our public squares are increasingly moved on to online private platforms. Soon enough almost all communication will be digital, and the corporations will have more censoring power than the government does. At that time, it'll be pretty regretful that all these people have been upholding businesses' "rights" to silence anyone they please for any reason.
Yes, you.

If you think Verizon, ATT, and Comcast don't look at all the money sloshing around the SV/SF tech scene with envious eyes then you're a fool.

They started with Netflix. They will proceed to squeeze the big players like Google. Soon the average startup will be forced to pay a per-ISP toll to reach that ISP's customers.
