So thinking about your advice a bit more, it's actually pretty good. I've been in a pretty weird situation where I'm realizing [traditionally well paying and considered successful career] is not the route I currently want to go in my life and want to spend a few years chasing a dream of competing in the top levels of a sport I love.

I'm kind of suicide those original career goals at the moment, but want to make sure I gave life somewhat of the biggest attempt I could.
I dislike the popular phrase "evidence-based" to describe practices/advice. All reasoning should be evidence-based. Experience can be a source of evidence. The results of double-blind studies require interpretation, about which reasonable people will disagree. Many "evidence-based" findings could correctly be viewed as "one person's opinion".

That video brings me back. I learned to ski and snowboard at Maple Valley. My elementary school had a program where you could get a seasons pass and go there on Wednesday's and Fridays. In high school we ended up at Okemo which wasn't bad but never had the charm of

I've heard 70km/h elsewhere, but the only personal data I have is I used to drive a 2002 5-speed manual VW Golf Mk IV, the 2L petrol version, and that had a fuel economy display on it plus a nice chart of economy per gear in the owner's manual. The book similarly said best would be at around 70km/h (~45mph) in 5th gear, and I confirmed that was true in my own tests. The 6-speed GTI was charted in the owner's manual as well and its best economy was shown as a little faster, in its extra 6th gear.
I think I understood the basic premise of georgism and land tax does make a lot of sense.

However, what confuses me is that they justify land value tax by claiming that society is what gives value to the land. Eg: Making a subway increases the value of all houses in the area, subway is built by tax payers money, hence the value should accrue to everyone.

But by this logic, shouldn't all luxury goods also be taxed similarly? Eg: Diamond/Gold etc. You pay some money for it and keep with it you. The value increases in proportion to its scarcity (society's inability to find more of it) and decreases with their abundance.

Similary, every product's market price can be split into its intrinsic and community-driven price. Simply because they aren't sold at cost price but at the one decided by the market. Also, every company utilizes community resources (transportation/electricity etc).
I am not sure how to even start thinking about this final segment. How is the land value going to compensate for these additional services? Or are we ignoring these because their contribution will too less?
He lived in Pittsburgh about 35-40 miles outside San Francisco. Maybe a hour drive with no traffic 2 with, or a 1.5 hour Bart train ride and I think there's a transfer now so it maybe longer. Anyway he didn't go out and buy a mansion the bay area is so expensive even with his pay he lived far from the city where house prices are only crazy...not insane
I am early enough in my career that I would feel utterly uncomfortable doing that. My blog is under my real name. It would be so easy to look at my resume and go oh. That company. Woof. I don't really want my public feelings of that experience tied to me like that. This isn't a startup. This is a non-tech business that has been around for decades. Don't burn bridges and all that.

I will add this tidbit... you would literally have to pay me "f--k you" levels of money for a middling developer to even think of going back to that company. My professor had the ability to get my a coding job at a completely different location (physical and business-side) inside that same company (I was in Procurement previously) for about 150k (almost 3x what I was making). $150k in a rust belt city is a lot of money. Due to my work history there I would have been immediately vested and they had a 6% 100% match on a 401k. My commute would have been 10 minutes. I literally laughed at him. The amount of money that could get me back in those doors is way out of the reach of a 9-5 systems programmer. The first dollar figure where I would have to pause would be in the $1 mil a year range. And I honestly don't know if I would have said yes even to that.
I have no legal advise, but I just wanted to say that I think "Taughtful" is an awesome name!

This depends on the virtual machine or container!

Ironically, because the folks working on containers/VMs are _really_ good at what they do, time access calls in particular have been really optimized (they get called a lot). This makes it very hard to intercept time calls at this layer! e.g. KVM and LXC both essentially hand time calls straight to the host.

This means time intercepts at the VM/container layer need fundamental support (I mentioned affine time transformation in the linux kernel in another comment) which doesn't work for people who need to deploy on current hosted container.
Not Mac OS specific, but Photoshop or the Unity engine are good examples.

Lengthy excerpt: Advances in manufacturing software are allowing the likes of Deutsche Post, Google, and start-ups to tap suppliers to design, engineer, and test new vehicle concepts without hiring thousands of engineering staff or investing billions in tooling and factories...Streetscooter used a software program made by PTC to talk to a network of 80 suppliers including Bosch, which provides the electric drivetrain, and Hella which makes the headlights. PTC’s Windchill software, which costs 300 to 1,000 euros ($330–$1,120) per user per year, is used by 90% of the top 50 automotive companies including Continental, ZF, Volkswagen, Audi, MAN, Hyundai, and Ferrari.

This Windchill software enabled a firm with 15 engineers to develop an electric vehicle from scratch and deploy a fleet of 20 vans within 2 years [1, 2]. This milestone led Deutsche Post to partner with the company in question (Streetscooter). The latter has plans to roll out 10k EVs over the next few years.

The level of efficiency is remarkable. If an open source or cheaper software toolkit were available, small-scale production by individuals (building a car company from your own garage) and regular businesses (I want an electric car for my business) may become infinitely affordable.

I see no connection to the EM drive. The paper you mentioned suggests an alternative inertia formula, however it doesn't break conservation of inertia as far as I can see.

The "theory behind the EM drive" [1] is completely based on classical electrodynamics and therefore it's flawed. Classical electrodynamics conserves momentum and energy. It doesn't mean that the EM drive can't work though, it just means that this theory can't work.

[1] I only found this: http://www.emdrive.com/theorypaper9-4.pdf

Is this what you refer as the "theory behind the EM Drive"?
No company is going to have a monopoly of self driving cars. Uber just needs to get them at the same time as everyone else to with either through build or buy. The main reason for doing as much building now is to have a sizable patent portfolio for defensive reasons. Google bought Motorola's patents to protect them while they competed with Apple.

With this in mind, how does anyone else compete without burning through far more money trying to gain market share. Uber burned through the money trying to be efficient when the market was much smaller. Once the market is much much larger, any competitor will have to burn through a orders of maginitude more cash to buy market share.

There's a lot more to succeeding in this market than self driving cars.
You're forgetting that this transition takes place in game engines: so the critical path is still mostly C++, while C# is responsible for game logic and most of it is run on callbacks, not in the update loop.

Same goes for memory: textures and other assets are managed through the engine; C# only contains game logic data and handles to the assets.
How practical is enforcing that?

Can the knowledge they already obtained really be undone?

I have as my girlfriend and I have lived for over a year without a car. We walk/lyft/occasionally use the Seattle lite rail to get to 90% of the places we want to go.

However, despite the amazing hiking/backpacking places we can go here, we have only done that a few times (relying on other people driving).

Should we always rely on other people to go to non-public transportation routes (This has also hampered us from doing lots of other things hence why we got a zipcar membership recently)?
NASA has published this paper. These guys presumably know what they're talking about. Moon landing, space shuttle, Voyager, etc. They ran actual experiments on this drive.

Why are half the comments here saying 'They must be wrong' - seemingly based on nothing more than a strong belief that NASA must be wrong.
>He was a vegetarian, never married and never had any children. I don't see any evidence of him being a sex maniac or advocating free sex or anything like that.

What definition of hedonism are you using that necessarily involves marriage, eating meat or being a sex maniac?
The very basic definition of hedonism is this:

>He simply believed that the good life is the absence of suffering

Nothing more and nothing less because "suffering" and "good" can actually be quite subjective. A masochist might enjoy being degraded and hurt, it's his/her part of the definition of "good", while non-masochists would probably put many SM practices into the category of "I wouldn't want to suffer trough that".

If not eating meat makes you suffer less, on account of empathy for the animals that didn't need to be slaughtered for your nutritious needs, then that fits pretty perfectly into decreasing the suffering around you and for yourself.
This looks like it was pulled straight off of Shift. See https://carcela.com/jobs.html and https://shift.com/careers as well as every other page.
I have a rather different hypothesis in my mind: changing the speed limit does not change the speed of cars relative to the speed limit. People who go 10% over will continue to go 10% over, people who go 20% over will continue to go 20% over. Obviously this can't hold true for extreme values (changing from 50 to 5 or to 500), but in the range where speed limits actually do change from time to time, this is exactly what I see happening.

"Authorities consider this road safe for average drivers at x mph, therefore it must be safe for me at x * 1.y".

The y in the "1.y" pseudomath btw is proof enough to me that claims about enforcement not working are wrong: when you cross state borders it is easy to witness considerable changes in "typical y", the amount of relative speeding customary in the local population of drivers. Road design certainly has an influence on actual speed, but so do limits and enforcement.
Syscall interception works for _every_ program, it's just a matter of doing it correctly.

VDSO is a small set of (3) calls which are not syscalls but direct calls (for speed/efficiency). Our goal is to remove this functionality to force libs to call through the (slower) syscall route instead.

I mention in another comment how EHDR censoring is needed for robust VDSO removal.

I've not run into a libc where censoring EHDR breaks time calls (i.e. it doesn't fallback to syscalls) but possibly golang has this.

In this case it's straightforward to setup a fake VDSO and then instead of EHDR censoring you just replace it with your fake VDSO address and you're golden!
Re Grubhub/Seamless (I used to work there):

The sense I got was that they haven't unified the brands yet because they're really afraid of messing up the NYC market. Grubhub merged with Seamless in 2013 because leadership wanted to get into NYC, and Seamless owned/owns NYC. It's a hugely profitable market for the company.

They've toyed with the idea of bringing the brands closer (particularly around the Grubhub rebrand last year), but nothing's happened so far.
As someone that worked on Wall Street, most HNers aren't any better than Main Street investors. In many ways I'd say they are worse. Specifically, the level of emotion some people have on HN when it comes to liking or disliking companies based on their pet issues leads them to make some financially asinine statements. If you want to make money in the capital markets, you have to be dispassionate, making your decisions based on financials and fundamentals.
Until they run out of heroin..
i think the article is about highways and fast Intercity roads where pedestrians have no business to be and not local city communications. of course within city limits the speed should be as low as possible (most of EU is 50kmph, personally i would not mind even 35-40kmph) to discourage individual transport to motivate people to use public transport

and this should come together with ban of cars older than 10-15 years not meeting current safety standards and of course all cars should be checked for quality of their brakes and other parts before being allowed to drive
I can't comment on this issue, but if you want to get an idea of how a company can take over an excellent software and ruin it making it beefier and slower, just take a look at the wonderful snappy gem that was Cool Edit Pro and what it became after being morphed into Adobe Audition.
> One of the biggest challenges to create an intelligent systems is to define what is intelligence

That would be paradoxical. The challenge can't be to define the challenge. Likewise, Philosophy presupposes a notion of Philos and Sophia. Psychology is a related field that can help to refine this notion, isn't it?
Would Debian be a smarter choice? Ubuntu's based on Debian GNU/Linux, and hardware support tends to come downstream from there. Steam based their OS on Debian, not Ubuntu. Do you know of any issues installing the .deb onto Debian?
Your criticisms of Linux are basically that there is a proper security/stability process in place.

> The EM drive literally entails perpetual motion. We know that's impossible, yet someone always manages to sell a new version of it every few years.

Well the universe was created, so that seems to imply the energy can be created. We don't know that energy can't be created, just that the current laws of the universe don't allow for it, as far as we know.

Not that I believe this will violate that law in anyway. Even if the drive turns out to be real I suspect it will be something like photon entanglement, where it appears data is travelling faster than light but it's in no way helpful.
I suppose you got your eichhornen from us Dutchies. The story goes that a Dutch trader went to the UK, saw a squirrel, and wondered what it was. He pointed at the squirrel, asking a local "what's that?", the local thought he was pointing at the acorn the squirrel was holding and replied "that's an acorn". And that's when the "eekhoorn" was born.

>I mean, are you really still that poor if you can afford a smartphone, internet access, a computer, a wireless router and a cable modem?

Yes, you definitely can be. Credit and renting exist as an option and all that you mention can be had for $250 or less if bought outright. More often than not, where I live homeless people have smartphones.

Also, the things you listed above are a prerequisite for even the most menial of jobs. To apply for low wage work at a retailer at Best Buy, yiu have to apply online.

I use Syncthing[1], it is open source and in my opinion a great way to keep your files synced across multiple computers. However I don't think it is the best option to keep code synced. I generally use private git repositories on Bitbucket or GitHub (On Bitbucket you don't have to pay for private repos whereas on GitHub you have to unless you are a student [2]).

At least in germany we also refer to Epicureanism as "negative hedonism", i.e. finding the good life by becoming content with less and less, and then not saying "no" to stuff which is nice without any negative long term effects
What I don't get is why JPEG is still so commonly used when it introduces significant artifacting (even at high qualities). When a more advanced format like WebP can deliver higher quality images for the same file size.
I've been a "victim" of speed limit. When I was early 18 (just got my license, European), I crashed my car because I passed a speed limit sign, but there was a sharp left turn that wasn't visible. I went exactly the speed limit, thinking "they would put a lower one here if it wasn't absolutely safe" - and immediately lost control of my car in the turn.

Nowadays, I ignore any speed limits. I'm frequently speeding when it's safe, and I'm very frequently going slow enough to people flash lights or honk at me - no crashes since that.

I of course recognise I was at fault and don't blame the speed limit - I should've known to adjust my driving regardless of the limit. However this way of thinking isn't uncommon and while the speed limit isn't at fault, it had its part in causing the crash.
I'm skeptically optimistic about the em drive (I think it probably doesn't work but the upside is so great it's worth tinkering with)... NASA has been spectacularly wrong in the past. Arsenic life, for example. In many ways the em drive stuff has the same hallmark "press release-driven" science feel to it.

Just as with any Hackintosh setup: The guy who builds the system seems to have "no" knowledge about hardware and thinks he could write about it. This guy says it's a eight core CPU which is just wrong. The power supply is WAY too oversized resulting in bad efficiency and thus a bigger power consumption. He also states he needs no special kexts. Well.. that's because you are using Clover! God damn.. there is so much wrong with >90% of those articles online on how to build a Hackintosh... it's amazing.
Thanks for the compliment regarding the name! As far as the concern you brought up, there are other weapons besides guns; ones more sophisticated, such as swords, nunchucks, etc; also, martial arts and other combat techniques are taught on a regular basis, all around the world, to and by people in all walks of life. It is my duty not to hold any biases, nor enforce any unreasonable censorships regarding the education process. In case you didn't notice, the category picture does not contain any guns in it at all, those are 2 foils crossing, they are used in fencing which is a highly regarded combat sport. Regardless, you are welcome to your beliefs as they are your own and I will not attempt to dissuade you.
Your etymology to Eichhörnchen is a folk etymology. It's a diminuitive of the Old High German "eihhorno", which in turn derives from Proto-Germanic " * aikwernô". The root of "Hörnchen" is thus _not_ "Horn", but Proto-Indo-European " * wer-", which just means "squirrel." Its other meaning is "to heed, to notice." I guess people thought squirrels to be excessively observant creatures. Latin "viverra" (ferret) is also related, and Czech "veverka" (squirrel.)

Also, "Eich" has nothing to do with "Oak." Instead, it derives from PIE " * aig-" which means "to move quickly."

EDIT: HN's pseudo-markdown formatting is a plague unto mankind. The hoops I had to jump through to prefix an asterisk to a word…

EDIT2: If you click around on the Wiktionary page for Eichhörnchen, you can find lots of fun details to its etymology. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Eichh%C3%B6rnchen

Schadenfreude aside, I hope others realize how evil this outcome would be. California is a great place because it doesn't enforce anti-employee provisions like non-compete agreements.

Seeing maybe the LIDAR efforts suffer a temporary setback, but any outcome that blocks all the work of all the engineers that all exercised their at-will rights to work for a different company is not something any engineer should be celebrating.

There's a lot more to SDCs than a LIDAR device and the engineers at Uber were working on all these different areas well before Otto even existed.

If Google sought to actually shut everything down, then they will have strayed very very far from the "Don't be evil" mantra and would be the company that truly deserves negative criticism IMHO.
