I set up a small product and self assessment tool for https://compassofdesign.com validating my target audience.

About 20% of my visible audience took part in the assessment and/or bought the product. I got a really good vibe of the people that are most likely to engage and who I should be focusing on.

Surprisingly, people that my content is reaching are further along in their journey than I had intended on reaching out to.

This has been my biggest result so far from my efforts
Soylent does look similar to EAS Mypolex (comparing the nutrition from here: https://www.amazon.com/EAS-Myoplex-Original-Protein-Chocolat...). One issue is that to get 2,000 calories of EAS Myoplex you'd have to drink about 7 bottles. If you drink 7 bottles you'd be getting way too much of some vitamins and not enough of others.
Protectionism has proven to work well in some cases in history.

You are also misunderstanding by conflating globalism with free trade. The two are related, but not the same. You can be for free trade of goods and services, but not for unelected central powers (i.e. an EU, a central bank).

Mainstream academic economists are typically free trade, but we have no science to test this theory so just br careful about drinking too much of the kool aid. LarGe corps, banks, and US gov generally want globalism. Keep in mind why they want that (profit and power). We still have a lot of people suffering in 2017 and no longer a good excuse for it (i.e. resources scarcity cant explain malnutrition anymore).
> And I was talking about the cash being stolen 90% of the time, if you do choose to physically carry it with you back home. (Or trust someone else to do it)

This is also not true. 17,000 Zimbabweans[1] travel into South Africa daily by road, most are destined for Musina (nearest South African town to the border) where they buy goods with cash[2]. If theft rate is 90%, that would result in 15,300 cases of theft per day (5.5 million per year) which (a) just can't go unreported, even if you think Zimbabwe is some undeveloped backwater and (b) where do I sign up to join this very effective Thieves Guild? It has to be well-paying.

1. As of 2015, numbers are seasonal. http://www.702.co.za/articles/10509/31-000-people-cross-bord...

2. Because of depleted nostro accounts, most Zimbabwean banks have a maximum international withdrawal of $20-$50 (US dollars) per day
As an anecdotal/tiny success story, I drank Soylent exclusively for a month and lost 10 pounds - of course, this was by dramatically reducing my calories and exercising, not by virtue of Soylent alone. That said, I did find Soylent to be great on two accounts - it is not something you will consume for fun/pleasure/killing boredom, and it is easy to measure your calorie intake if you are consuming it solely. Side note: I am not a doctor or nutritionist, do not take my story as scientifically-grounded advice.
In addition to that you can observe that their website's certificate details. it seems they are using fee ssl provided from cloudfare. Not really a confidence booster and definitely not even close to fintech security which we can trust.

Mastercard logo is displayed without any hint that they are official partner of visa or mastercard. The said bank and offerzen site does not have links etc. There is no documentation or hints about legal disputes resolution or any kind of compliance mechanism ever mentioned on site.

Though I like the concept, will hold off still I get to know that the site is genuine.

Not sure if it qualifies as protectionism. But I'd love to see us enforce our own safety and environmental regulations for all imports.

Something like all manufacturers would be required to be certified and routinely inspected by 3rd party companies that have been approved by the government to do said certifying and inspecting. Would need to have unscheduled inspections and heavy fines against the involved companies to work but we could do it if we wanted.

Market economies go through boom-bust cycles. Predicting timing for the next bust is much more impressive than predicting that there will be a bust, eventually.

If you predict in 2016 that an apparently healthy economy will suffer a severe downturn, and it happens in 2017, that's impressive.

If you predict a severe downturn in 2009 and it only happens in 2017, that's significantly less impressive.

If you predict a severe downturn every year since 2009, that's zerohedge.

It reminds me of the peak oil prophets who went from predicting collapse by 2012 to predicting collapse, uh... eventually. Remaining pessimistic in the face of contrary data doesn't make them any smarter than being irrationally optimistic.
> I develop a Linux distribution and I know that I do not care.

Well, you should care. You should care when your clients or friends send you a file in a format that you can't open or transform properly on Linux. When you want to print something and your printer doesn't have drivers for it. When you want to play an AAA game and it's not available for Linux. Etc., etc.

If anyone has any suggestions of a good alternative, I'd be interested to hear them.
The chart showing the inverse correlations is one of the most misleading charts I've ever seen. They put two separate scales on top of each other to make it look like pot is more popular than alcohol.

https://www.bls.gov/emp/ep_table_201.htm

Movie and music industry is in the "Information" labor category, which accounts for a whopping 1.8% of total employment... Oh, and Bollywood is already bigger than Hollywood. I don't see such trends reversing as we continue outsourcing CGI and other movie-making magic. There's nothing special about Hollywood that isn't able to be duplicated somewhere else.

I'm somewhat surprised as alcohol expenses in a given month on average tend to be a lot more expensive than marijuana. You can buy 1/4 for around $100 which should last a full month even with a <strike>heavy</strike> moderate smoker.
How is it irresponsible marketing?
I like to pose the question subjectively: what would it be like to have my own consciousness suddenly operating within a computer instead of my body, right now? Would the machine have to simulate my bodily experience to give my mind a frame of reference?

I would say once I can go back and forth and know what it's like, then and possibly only then, I could accept such a resurrection.

I'm curious about what Penrose would say on this perspective.
Reflex is a frontend library for haskell.

-- create an input text widget with auto clean on return and return an event firing on return
-- containing the string before clean
inputW :: MonadWidget t m => m (Event t T.Text)
inputW = do
rec
-- fire send event when pressing enter
let send = textInputGetEnter input

-- textInput with content reset on send
input <- textInput $ def & setValue .~ ("" <$ send)

-- tag the send signal with the inputText value BEFORE resetting
return $ tag (current $ input ^. textInput_value) send

Ignoring the operator soup for a second (thanks lens) you might notice that the send event depends on the input field and the content of the input field depends on the send event. In, say, java you would first create the field and then mutate it separately. In haskell mutating wouldn't work so instead we usually tie the knot which means making the value dependent on itself and letting laziness figure it out.

However we are creating a text field here so if we make the value recursive on itself we are gonna be spawning text fields all over the place. MonadFix is variant of this that splices the effect out so it is only run once and then allows the value to be recursive.
You had me up to the end of your third paragraph, then you dropped off a cliff.

You're free to believe and think what you want, of course, but the whole point of the GPL is make sure that the code is "paid forward", and not locked up somewhere along the chain.

The GPL is there so that future up-and-coming curious kids can see the code, and learn from it - much like you did.

I grew up in a slightly different world. The GPL first came about in 1989; I was a sophomore in high school, and had no idea about it. The "free software" code I learned from was printed in magazines, that you typed in. As time wore on, though, something along the line changed - code to type in was getting less, and proprietary was growing. I held some of that at bay with my Amiga (which still carried some of the spirit in the magazines of the time), but still change kept coming.

Several years went by, until in about 1995 I was introduced to Linux by a friend of mine (who, interestingly, I met via a 2600 meetup) - and also to the GPL by extension. Here was an entire operating system I could see the code of! Amazing! It was all there - out in the open - for me to play with, learn from, and modify as needed or desired! Freedom! All I had to do was agree to pay it forward...

...and I'm ok with that. I don't want a younger person like me to be stuck in the dim place again, without access to the code to learn from. I also want them to experience the thrill of having the code available to work with. I don't want anyone - myself or others - to take that away.

And believe me, if a corporation really wanted to, they could work to lock up non-GPL'd works. All they need to do is become much more popular, and let the original work wither on the vine. It may take decades for that to happen (BSD vs OS-X?) - but it can happen. They can wait. But that kid 50 or 100 years from now? What about him or her?
Parties I attend tend to have both plenty of marijuana and beer handy. People want to drink for a variety of reasons.

Sure, some people (myself included) prefer a bit of weed or a brownie over a few beers, but that's a personal preference thing.

hell, my grandmother smokes marijuana and still has a beer or two before bed.

/anecdotal evidence
> Weed will soon clobber beer sales

So why again what is scheduled as an illegal "flower" in the first place? If is we do not know the answer then lets look at this question: who benefited all these years from tax money spend on cracking down on growing/trading/having/using this plant?

Allow me to answer the last one: I think weed will be more popular the alcohol, and it will be heavily used as replacement for all kinds for "medicines".
My site is https://fearlesssalarynegotiation.com

It seems like you're just asking about the SEO side (not Quora), so I'll focus on that.

My book is about salary negotiation, so most of my focus is on variations around "salary negotiation". That's a pretty competitive search term, so I focus on more long tail terms like "salary negotiation email", "salary increase letter sample" and "current salary interview question".

The tools I use are all free: Google analytics, Google search console, Google keyword planner, MozBar, and Google itself.

When I want to write a new article - I have a topic in mind - one of the first things I do is hop into the Keyword planner and figure out what people are ACTUALLY searching for around that topic. Most of the time, the way _I_ describe the topic is not the same as what people are searching for.

Once I know what people are searching for, I write the same article I would've written, but I try to use the more common terms rather than my own made-up terms. (For example, I would not usually say "salary negotiation email sample" - I would say "counter offer email template" or something like that. But when people want that email template, they search for "salary negotiation email", so that's the terminology I used for that article on my site.)

I gave a very, very brief overview of some other tactics I use in a talk at this year's MicroConf in Las Vegas. Here are my slides, a link to a video, and links to some of the tools I use: http://www.joshdoody.com/microconf

Hope this helps!
Doesn't seem to matter to investors nor consumers, so why care =) Baby formula has been around for long (I don't think it's as good as mother's milk, but seems geared towards "complete nutrition as far as survival goes, as best as we know today" --- same as Soylent then), ready-to-drink raw eggs have been around for our entire pre-history (but who likes to make a mess, that'd be too primal), etc..
> Not including the type signatures, that’s just 4 lines of Haskell!

Yeah + years of learning it, but that's not showing up as code. I'm glad he can express that in 4 lines. I'm still not convinced this is a good investment of time. I use functional style in JavaScript, but that's probably the farthest I'm willing to take it at the moment.

No, all of it sucks. But there is admittedly a difference: the rest of the stuff you are picking up after AirBnB's failings, but for the CC you are mostly picking up after the failings of the international consumer electronic payments ecosystem.

In each case they are "on you" only to the extent that you could have researched known problems and lowered your expectations. In neither case could you have gone to a competitor, because there are none.

The point of view you put forward is the one you get to if you choose to regard AirBnB as a moral agent, but to regard the electronic payments infrastructure as a force of nature. Why not the other way round?
Yep. Inbound marketing. Let people find you. That is the most qualified lead ever.
>Bitcoin is an extra payment option in n>0 situations.

And not a payment situation at all in almost all solutions.

"n is small and therefore n is not useful compared to x" is what I'm arguing. You cannot depend on n when the ability to use it as a means of payment is so inconsistent. That goes for any value of n not just Bitcoin.
China hasn't been ignoring the environment though and have had Western style pollution controls for years. Unfortunately it's a complicated issue:

I think you underestimate how much heavy smokers can consume. The more you smoke, the more your tolerance goes up. Daily users (especially if you're medicating chronic pain or something) you can smoke 1/4 in a week, easily.

(Also, for the non-Americans, "1/4" is a quarter oz, approx. 7 grams)

(edit) Also, while buying in bulk is usually cheaper, people also enjoy pre-rolled joints, edibles or concentrates which are more expensive.
I will never, ever use Haskell in production because of its default evaluation strategy, the wrongness of which was tacitly conceded not long ago with the addition of the strictness pragma (which only works per-module) to GHC.

I think it's especially telling that its community skews so heavily towards this blogger/monad tutorial writer dilettante demographic rather than the D. Richard Hipp/Walter Bright 'actually gets real work done' demographic. I know which of the two I'd rather be in. Haskellers are even worse than Lispers in this regard. For the amount of noise about Haskell, you'd expect to see high-quality operating system kernels, IDEs, or RDMBSs written in it by now. Instead its killer apps are a tiling window manager, a document converter, and a DVCS so slow and corruption-prone even they avoid it in favor of Git.
> The cynic in me really thinks its important to wonder why there exists a GNU, and not an organization formed around and sustained by the MIT license.

Of course. The MIT license is the legal equivalent of putting shit out on your lawn with a big 'FREE' sign. There's no need to protect that. The GPL requires you to pay the developers in contributions, which requires enforcement.
The point of the article was focusing on things to fix. Having used Haskell, there's a great many things that were worth the cost of learning it. For one thing, it's made me a vastly better programmer in other languages. It lets me appreciate better styles of writing code and think outside the box when solving things. Using Haskell also gives me the tools for many projects to write code almost thoughtlessly -- you can just start writing in a declarative style and not worry about debugging, because everything is checked by the type system. Libraries exist for abstractions you wouldn't even think of in other languages that can cut down the code to 1/100th the length it would be and maintain expressiveness and type safety. At the same time, I don't find myself using Haskell all that often because I do think it's missing a lot of things I desire, but depending on what you're working on it can be very far from a sunk cost.

But the policies of this administration and the Republican Capitol Hill have been the opposite of what you describe. They've stayed away from a strong protectionist turn so far. And they're definitely not enacting policies to address income inequality... the healthcare bill passed in the House today is quite the opposite.

edit - I agree with your point that voter perception matters a lot. But I think the Republicans just lied to exploit that perception. They're not actually changing their ideology and agenda to do any of it though.

well if anyone does know what's out there then HN crowd would be a pretty good suspect in that regard.

I personally have done my fair share of consulting and prof services engagements - dozens of them across all kinds of industries - I've never seen a Haskell shop.

Java, Python, JS, Golang, Scala, Clojure, .Net, C, PHP - definitely out there in the field. Haskell - not so much.
Not really. Without type inference, there's always a pretty short path to the type: For "int x = y" you only have to check that the type of y is int. If you have type inference "int x = y" is a lot harder to validate, because y may have been defined like so "var y = z". So now you have to create some kind of list of variables and their types, start at the ones that are explicitly defined like "int a = b" or "c = 5" and then fill in the types of the rest as you find a reference to the ones you know.
