If only the world worked like this..

You probably won't see it happen today, but in the past, it wasn't uncommon for Microsoft to threaten companies with made-up charges, bribe the police to raid their offices and steal their hardware and data, just because they opted to use a different product.
Sorry, this is really bad advice IMO.

"1year or more out there are entirly new stacks, new libraries, new versions, new ways of building things etc."

You think there are any dev teams which change their entire stack every year? As for new libraries, thats what documentation is for, nobody gets hired because they have a the newest & hottest libraries APIs memorized.

Being a good developer has very little to do with knowing all of the trendiest new tools. A sound understanding of software engineering practices and methodologies is far more important.
I think this is the fundamental roadblock to teaching category theory to people who don't have a relatively diverse math background. If you have one, the early exposition of category theory is a constant stream of formalizing connections that already had a nebulous version in your head (e.g. products, coproducts, kernels, etc.). If not, you're robbed of any kind of a-ha! moment, and the motivation is unclear at best.

I worked at a pizza chain in college; closing manager on the night shift. Due to some stuff I won't get into here, tons of "safety" stuff in the store didn't work (camera was fake, bell on the door broken, etc), and I ended up getting robbed at gunpoint one evening.

I called the police, they interviewed me. Came back a few days later and did it again. At the time, what I remember feeling like was that they were trying to figure out if I made it up and kept the money rather than actually catching the person who had a gun to my head. I was pissed.
>I've always wondered why the US never went back to the moon. Or never set up a moon base for space exploration and experimentation.

The US sent half a dozen crewed missions to the moon, and made numerous unmanned missions.

There's no dark secret - space travel is complex and expensive, travel to the moon vastly more so than simply to orbit, and money is governed by politics. When the US had the prestige of possibly beating the Soviets to the moon , there was the political and popular will to do so. But eventually, the trick simply got old, and no longer seemed worth the expense.

Now take that, and add the exponential long term cost of a habitat and mining operation on the moon with 1970's / 1980's dollars and tech. I remember there being numerous plans for a moonbase at the time, it was discussed by NASA often, but the thing is, no one could figure out how to actually make it work reasonably cheaply without seeming like a lavish and pointless boondoggle to Congress.
I'm not sure what the cons are? If as the Utah govenor says it's cheaper to provide housing than the police/hospital/prison costs it kind of seems pretty con free.

In other parts of the country the housing would cost more, but the perhaps prison, hospitals and policing would cost more in those areas too.

It also doesn't take into account the extra money injected by someone returning to work because they've got a fixed house.

The article you point to rightly points out that the data is over hyped which is a shame. But the article then seems to use this to throw out everything that they've done in Utah.

The author appears to have some kind of fairly strong bias which I think he brings to light with this quote:

> Additional focus should be placed on transitioning people out of expensive supportive housing and into housing of their own or with family members when their well-being improves.

As far as I can see, if the maths stack up then just keep building houses.

I quote from your website: "Don't worry if you don't know what GitHub is, you only need to create an account." You don't appear to make any assumptions that your users understand that their notes will be published and readable by anyone on the internet.

Furthermore, your clarification: "Currently, Kobble stores all user data in secret GitHub Gists, under your account. Secret gists are not private." does not help because it does not explicitly state the fact that notes will be readable by anyone on the internet.
Thanks Mike!

I think we're all misunderstanding each other. I'm aware Browserprint isn't using user agents as their main source of information. It very clearly outlines the information they are using in the results.

I was just remarking about the uniqueness of my spoofed user agent vs a non-spoofed agent. After my initial post I went back and found I was still unique even without a spoofed agent. That's really all there was to my comment, I'm not insinuating that I was surprised to find I was uniquely fingerprinted by other means like font and plugin enumeration.
The index rating on a tire basically reflects the speed limit that a tire can sustain for at least (IIRC) 10 mins before giving up and being destroyed, minus one. So a tire that sustained 10 min of U rating (200kph) speed and suffered drastic damage (typically, tire blows and tread band goes off) right after that mark gets a T rating (190kph). This is oversimplified but that's the gist of it.

You can thus see why the index of stock tires always vastly overshoot the top speed of a car, e.g my car gets a Y tyre stock even though its top speed is 245kph, and my ex car has a W rating when the top speed is 210kph.

It's not a good idea to go anywhere near the limit of your tire speed index, nor to go cheap and skimp on the index when buying a replacement tire.

I bet the Macan that gets 18" and the W index is the one with low enough top speeds (below 230kph, that'd be 2.0L four-pot petrol and 3.0L V6 Diesel ones)

EDIT: found a reference again WRT index tests

> Speed ratings are based on laboratory tests where the tire is pressed against a large diameter metal drum to reflect its appropriate load, and run at ever increasing speeds (in 6.2 mph steps in 10 minute increments) until the tire's required speed has been met.

My understanding was made better when I started thinking about utilizing category theory in programming, more in a way of "here are some design patterns stolen from abstract algebra", rather than "man! now I should learn this entire branch of mathematics".

The branch of math itself would be mostly useless anyway, because it is mostly concerned about relations between categories, and as programmers, you usually work just within a single category, category of functions and types in your programming languages :-)

But from the practical, design-pattern viewpoint, I would suggest trying purescript :-)

My journey was working through the purescript book [1] up to the Applicative Validation chapter. And then I played around with the flare backend in try-purescript [2]. And then it clicked for me and I was suddenly able to read and comprehend Typeclassopedia [3] :-)

Isn't that the main idea behind wastewater treatment everywhere anyway already? See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewage_treatment and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wastewater_treatment

Also compare Tree bogs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_bog) which is about not mixing water and human waste in the first place. Human waste can go directly on a compost heap, and the rest of the water is easier to treat.

OK, that really wasn't clear, so here are some specific suggestions:

The video under the white text often makes it difficult to read the catchphrase. I'd suggest editing the video to reduce the brightness by 60% (No doubt others will disagree);

The text at the top does not, to me, communicate this idea that you are choosing multiple destinations, and that the site will try all the orderings to find the optimal itinerary;

It says:

Discover the cheapest route to fly for your next holiday

You are using the word "route" in a way that doesn't communicate to me the idea you've mentioned above;

It says:

If you're visiting multiple destinations it can be on average 30% cheaper to fly a specific route as opposed to others

Again, you're using the word "route" in a very odd way.

So, concrete suggestion to highlight the problem, I'd say something like:

You choose the places to visit - we'll arrange your itinerary to minimise the costs.
DJI actually has some systems in place to prevent illegal flights. By default it only goes as high as the law permits and can't enter no-fly zones (as if there were a force field). Even in smaller airports, the app will alert you to fly with caution (for example, in class C airspace) You can override these limits, but, as far as I know, the event is somehow logged.

It's actually unclear whether this prohibits private property, though it probably would because property can't exist without enforcement of property rights by a sovereign government. Which raises something of a difficult question for asteroid mining ventures. Personally I think we will see the OST revised or rescinded once these hypothetical situations start actually happening. We need more clarity on property rights for commercial exploitation of space resources to become viable. No one is going to invest $100bn to capture and mine an asteroid only to find out that they technically do not have exclusive rights to the asteroid and anyone who reach near earth orbit can legally mine it too. In any case, those BS certificates for moon acerage are definitely not enforceable, for about fifty different legal reasons. The most obvious of which is you can't sell what you don't own.
Getting exposure helps. How it's done is a different question. Posting your startup to directories/curated collections or blog is perfectly fine. Spam begins when it's unsolicited.
I liked the article, and agree with it mostly. Here's a couple of ideas I see again and again that bother me about the singularity theory and the hype in general about general AI:

* The idea of exponential growth, which seems like an important underpinning of the singularity theory. Nothing in nature as far as I am aware, grows exponentially. Some growth trajectories may for a time look exponential, but they always turn out to be the bottom of an s-curve. The idea that once we develop the first AI with superhuman intelligence, that it will necessarily beget one of even greater intelligence, is deeply flawed for this reason. It is analogous to predicting that Moore's law will continue forever, because ever faster and more capable computers will assist in the design the next generation of chips. At some point the laws of physics will contrain further advances, and we will encounter the upper half of the s-curve.

* The idea of AI in a box. It's the idea that anything we would call intelligence can evolve divorced from a high-bandwidth, real-time sensory apparatus, and divorced from a way to directly manipulate its environment.

* The idea that more intelligence always makes a significant difference. If we look at thinking disciplines where computers are already better than the best humans (chess, heads-up poker, recognizing certain kinds of objects etc.), the differences are small. If the best human's decisions are 99% optimal, say, a computer's may be 99.9% or 99.999% optimal. The point being that a computer can never makes decisions that are better than 100% optimal.

"Flying short" or "Hidden City" is another tactic. Airlines don't like it, but it's not illegal. Can't check bags, and you may not want to associate your frequent flyer account.

That is, sometimes it's cheaper to book a flight with a connection, say LAX->ATL->MIA, and get off in ATL, than it is to pay for LAX->ATL.

Unfortunately, I can't read this post yesterday. We are working a similar solution, which can detect and prevent similar situations at management level, plus gives more productivity based on healthy system (little bit coaching system). Every manager want a healthy system, don't want to circulate lot of people in the company day by day. So, I saw ton of different personalities and skills and every person need to know, where is the border really (is this the right place for me or what do I need to change? - like a coach). Manager's views are really subjective.. and therefore many times.. with wrong advisors.. going in the wrong way. I think, very important for the c-level, to identify similar problems and create actions. Nobody want to see similar things. The very stressful jobs.. mainly coming from other problems (I worked cxo position, c-level, board etc), eg. somebody stolen money, slacker in important position and lot of things. Identify the problems is very important. That is not so easy and very hard.. to find the right way, .. because every person needed different viewpoint, how to talk with that person. Plus I saw, the assertive communication solve many things (in large companies works well).

I have the Mavic and I am pretty happy with it myself. It's not perfect, but it's generally the best drone I have used (the range is the best you can get, camera is pretty good, portability is great, battery life great). The only drone better is the Phantom 4 Pro, which is $1500 if I am not mistaken.
Is it worth the price? Depends on what you are using it for. Also, if you do buy it, make another DJI account, generate an affiliate code, and use it to buy the Mavic via their website. That way you can use the $50 credit to buy yourself a second battery. Also keep in mind that if you want to use it professionally and are in the US, that you need to get the Part 107 licensing by law.

weapons manufacturers and oil companies. I refuse to support either of those industries

That doesn't sound very pragmatic. I definitely would have qualms about working for a weapons manufacturer, oil companies not that much, but if I'm in need of a job I'd take them.

When you didn't have a job, had you burned all the bridges with the oil companies? From top UK university to 78 USD/month sounds hard to believe (especially if you worked Working Holiday you know that you can make ten times that working odd jobs anywhere else).

Can you take additional jobs? Even if it's fiverr or mechanical turk or some other platform?

When I was looking for work abroad (I'm from Latin America) I didn't ask to be flown in, and I have a CS degree and a Masters.

Maybe you need help from someone (social worker, psychologist) to identify the issues that are holding you back, if you do have a top 10 degree it's not an intelligence problem.
