I think this is called failing upwards.

As you allude, an outsider to this cohort crashing into the program should keep expectations in check. Barry Lyndon comes to mind.

I wish it was more socially acceptable to have two year gaps in ones resume and sail around the world or something.
Even owning the building is no guarantee of keeping costs down anymore if you live in a municipality like I do where property tax assessments are based on the potential for development of the property, as opposed to actual use. If they decide your coffee shop could be redeveloped into a large apartment building they will tax you that much. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/small-busi...

this was early 90s, i don't remember the ops, but i remember it being comparable in magnitude to the CM-2, which was where we were running some kind of simulation (in a skif, so everything I heard was very second hand)
That isn't a world war. You cannot have another Hitler who tries to push a ground army to conquer the territorial first world. The nukes would fly well before then, and since its not a world war, and just one isolated country going insane, we probably wouldn't resort to that - it would just be a counter insurgency from the way-better-armed NATO allies.

The only economies capable of waging a war "from the other side" on NATO are China and Russia, and the keys of their economies care too much about not dying to let some lunatic take over these states to wage a world war.

The early 20th century was a transitionary period where plutocrats learned that war between powers was no longer profitable. As soon as it stopped being an economically beneficial act to try to conquer, people stopped doing it. That is why Russia is able to still conquer foreign land - they know nobody cares enough to stop them, so they can just grab it for free. They also know they could never try that against a NATO member or first world nation, because it would end them. They are too rational in their behavior for that kind of stupidity.
Maybe see I2P-Bote as basic level transport and run S/MIME or gpg with your recipients? If they can use a I2P based email system they can certainly encrypt their mail before sending. Seems like breaking both crypto systems would be unlikely.

Meanwhile, smtp is stored and transmitted in plaintext something like 95% of the time. Hacking mail servers, end user PC's, etc to get at someone's mail is a common practice. Pick your poison I guess.
> This is not rational, of course: it's a "yeah, well fuck you" reaction.

This is why I question the value of the popular practice of demonizing skeptics.

It's one thing to discuss solutions "Hey, I know you are skeptical of the severity of the predicted outcomes of climate change, but I think we can both agree that any kind of pollution is probably bad in the long run. How do you feel about nuclear power?" vs. "You climate denier! Do you also deny the holocaust? Thou fool!"
Apple could literally just release the new Mac Pro in the old case, with updated hardware and ports, and if it was priced closer to reality, it would make a lot of their pro users happy. I doubt it would cost them much to do so too. I'd start it off at around $1500 for an entry level 4 core Xeon with an mid-level graphics card (GTX 1060 or Radeon 480).
It was free access to a limited subset of services, it would be a great way to lock in facebook use as it'd be the only social network that would be available. Calling it free internet is disingenuous because it wasn't access to the internet, but rather access to a couple websites.
IMO, it sounds like a cop-out. More likely the business was pretty shaky and no one would invest at even semi-reasonable terms, so they use the "deal fell through" excuse.

Are we supposed to believe they only pursued one source of funding, which was delayed months, and during that entire time never tried to find anything else? More likely... they couldn't.

It's not wrong to care about phrasing when that phrasing leads to wrong results. Anthropomorphising evolution as a designer is a classic mistake to make precisely because it causes us to make real mistakes. The parent post makes a big claim which is based entirely off a mistaken metaphor.

> I love running just about anywhere (except on a treadmill, which is just intolerably drab)

I'm the opposite; when I do run (which isn't often, now) I would rather run on a treadmill and listen to a podcast, or just music and zone out, and not have to worry about dodging obstacles or not being able to time my run.

I do love riding my bike around new places, though. I guess that's the same thing.
"(15 years or something like that)"

I'm curious how you came up with that number? Are you currently still using anything PC related from 2002?
Just because you aren't disabled doesn't mean you can't get a disabled placard. The parent of a disabled child or the caretaker of a disabled senior can get a tag as long as they are only using it while they are with the disabled person.
Security is a cost center and most OEMs run on margins too thin
to bother with security patches even if they cared. Most simply don’t care.

I think that sums up pretty well why downstream vendors are treating security casually. So the billion dollar question is, how do we fix this, as a tech community?

Lest we allow Tesla to be used as the example of a good company...

Tesla refuses to really treat owners of their cars like owners of their cars. Tesla remote pulls data from individual peoples' cars to defend themselves in press releases. If you try and interface with your Tesla, Tesla will call and threaten you. Even if you own the title to a Tesla, they may refuse to activate your car under certain circumstances. Teslas use their self-driving sensors to relay all of your driving data back to Tesla even if you didn't purchase the self-driving add-on. Some cars are sold with part of their battery capacity software disabled unless you pay to unlock it. And Tesla only allows access to its repair manual in the one state they're legally forced to... for $30 an hour to look at it online. There's also juvenile stuff like Tesla refusing to sell a car to a guy who wrote a negative comment about them online.

This is a company which has a vastly distorted view of car "ownership" considering the incredible cost people pay to "own" one.

I like a lot of what Elon Musk is doing, but some of the ways his car company behaves is as unethical as Google or Facebook.

And yet it felt completely obvious to many of us that were around since the beginning. YC, reddit, HN, and Dropbox are among the companies I definitely would have invested $1000 into, had the opportunity been available.

I predict the next generation of YC will be a scalable crowdfunding company. It will look more like a startup-focused Kickstarter than seed-stage Sequoia.
To their famlies maybe, dead people don't take offense. Impling the reaction of someone is equally disingenuous. Not saying you are wrong, the conflation is a bit overreaching.
"For example, we thought it would be ok to work on your idea each summer and go back to school in the fall."

I'd love to know more about this. Does anyone have insight into why YC changed on this point? Maybe it's just the obvious "people lose focus." But I'd like a confirmation.
Only if said tulip is in a desired place. "Location, location, location" as someone would say.

So the investment is actually in the location, not in the house itself.

Which is a good idea. For a bunch of reasons cities will continue to grow, and bigger cities will grow faster. So if you have a multi-decade view, buying location in any major cities is a sound idea.
> I think what I have to say, then, is welcome to quantum mechanics. Or, in fact, welcome to probability theory. Mathematically, there's no difference between a process which can only be predicted probabilistically, and a process which really is random; no difference between incomplete knowledge in your head and stochasticity in the world.

I'm not talking about randomness. I'm talking about determinism, and as far as I can see what you're saying says nothing about determinism or differing degrees of determinism.

> An interesting question is: how could a fully deterministic ontology give rise to beings capable of having probabilistic beliefs?

I don't see that as a problem at all. It fits completely fine with the idea that probability is a matter of lack of knowledge.

> Worse, how can a fully deterministic ontology give rise to truly random mathematical entities like Chaitin's Omega? In fact, in such a universe, where do the bits for atomic random-number generators come from? After all, if they're not really random, there should be some deterministic model capable of predicting them, and yet, quantum mechanics tells us precisely that such a thing is impossible.

You're talking like it's already a settled matter as to whether reality is fundamentally deterministic or not. Are you saying that there's definitive proof that deterministic accounts of QM are incorrect?
I purchased this (https://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Dell-In...) laptop from the Microsoft store, paying right around ~$700 with a student discount.

I bought an m.2 solid state and a wifi adapter that is known to work well with hackintosh's (the stock wifi card wasn't compatible), and another 8gb of ram for another ~$150.

I followed this (https://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/guide-dell-inspiron-15-75...) guide to get a nice hackintosh out of this laptop. Obviously this is a decent bit more difficult for the regular computer user to do.

So for ~$850, after 'hackintoshing' this computer, I get:
A laptop that gives me the choice to boot into an SSD imaged with latest OSX Sierra, or the regular 5,400 rpm Windows 10 drive. The last thing I want to do with this laptop is exchange the 1tb 5,400 windows drive for a 1tb SSD.

When booted into Sierra:
The software runs exactly the same as using a real mac. I've done some video editing in Final Cut, some audio work in Ableton, streamed 1080p youtube / netflix videos no problem. There's decent battery life, as the guide above shows you how to disable the nvidia graphics card entirely when running OSX (doesn't work anyways) to save battery. The specs are comparable to a modern macbook pro, and in one case even better.

Pros
- Actually get 4k resolution/screen

Cons
- SD card reader does not work
- Mobile graphics Nvidia 960m does not work, but intel 530 HD graphics card does just fine
- Backlight adjustment doesn't not work (could probably spend time to get it to work, but I'm fine without it for now)
- Trackpad is a little too sensitive

Sames
- Hardware: Core i7, 16gb ram
- Full airdrop support

Where am I going with this? In my opinion the general public is becoming more tech savvy. If Apple does not embrace the culture of people wanting to experiment with code (theirs or not) on different devices, then they are putting themselves at a disadvantage. The guides to make hackintoshes are more than likely getting easier and easier as time goes on and support grows. (this was my second attempt and first success)

What a disappointment this macbook pro reveal was. So instead of spending $2,399.00 on a new 15" macbook pro, I decided to hack together a very comparable one for ~$850.

I'll take the $1,550 savings for a little software and screwdriver work, even with a couple of minor issues, any day.

As long as those dedicated apple fans eat it up, I don't expect anything to change anytime soon. But for everyone else who can't afford those business practices, there are ways like what I did above to get what you want without breaking the bank.

As a counterpoint, they also build them because they want the software/OS but Apple doesn't sell a machine with the hardware to run it. Your only options are notebooks, all-in-ones (essentially notebooks built into monitors), basic lightweight desktop computers, or outdated workstations with limited hardware and expandability.

There's clearly a market for high powered desktop workstations but you can't currently buy the best hardware if you want it to (officially) run MacOS.

Not really. Not all crypto failures are the math failing or quantum computers suddenly becoming cheap and effective. Its usually just a bad implementation of a solid concept. The bad implementation allows for some side-channel attack and off you go.
> But the voices that pg once enjoyed talking with are still here.

Just to be clear there are still a lot of incredible people who post to HN, but from the signs that I see, a fairly large chunk of early HNers who are well known in hacker circles basically stopped posting. And there are also a large number of people who are very reluctant to take part in the discussions here knowing how a vocal subset of HNers react to any post or comment : talk trash. Examples of the latter : tptacek, dguido and other secuity professionals. If you read some of the security related threads where tptacek takes part, you will notice that he is literally talking to a wall, people refuse to listen to the guy or try to understand the reasoning behind his comments, though he is respected in the security community and is always right on security related topics. Especially on security related threads there is dangerous advice floating around. Eg- use Tor or some stupid suggestion on how to trick the CBP at the border.

I also noticed the rise of anti-semiticism and just generally hateful comments when the topics of religion, nationality or Trump are brought up. This issue is only getting worse and god help the moderators who have to read these comments on a daily basis.

Though this might be controversial, the general quality of discussion has gone down over the years. I think this is inevitable : as the community grows, quality of discussion goes down. HN is doing incredibly well on this count, the discussions are still the best on any public forum, but IMO the quality is going down. As the community grows, veterans generally tend to become inactive.

(Before people point out that my account is only 159 days old, I've been part of HN for much longer under different handles.)

There is already unpredictability in all sufficiently complex formal systems. For instance, it's unpredictable whether Turing machine T(i) will halt. Determinism is all you need!
