You can't have a "no cops" requirement in a lease agreement, that wouldn't be remotely enforceable.

> Fantasizing a bit, one can imagine a multi-probe EEG net that could report your state of mind

Ordinarily, at this point, the warrant would then be given to you, not me. This is complicated by the fact that you presumably are trying to stay anonymous and there are questions of jurisdiction. But they will at least try to contact you and compel you to give them access. If you refuse now you're committing a crime, and they'll go after you. So you'd better hope your OPSEC is solid. And, after a certain point of ridiculousness, they might go after me, saying I purposefully used this system to elude lawful requests for access (which would be true!). That's going to be tricky to prove, and at that point I don't have enough legal knowledge to figure out if that holds up.
Use public transportation and code in the meantime.
Agreed. Alien 3's problem was that it came out when every action movie thought it needed CGI, even though CGI wasn't ready at the time. So scenes with the aliens look comically bad, like a cheap video game.

El juego de la Ballena Azul
Although not a book, I blatantly self-recommend my personal blog(in Chinese, could use Google translate) on Online Education here(http://zhuanlan.zhihu.com/flippedclassroom). I'm an investor focused on online education and for multiple years worked as a product manager, helped create multiple online learning apps that have 10m+ users in China, top 50 in Chinese app store. My blog has a few thousand subscribers including CEOs, product managers, and VCs. If there is an audience, I could write English articles too.

To answer your question about MOOCs, actually, MOOCs aren't a good example of online learning at all. Somehow most universities did not think thoroughly enough how online learning should be revolutionalized and redesigned, so they just thought videos+quizes+forums would just work. The best kind of online learning I am seeing is a funnel like this:

1. Fragmented Knowledge: Provide users with bite-sized knowledge, before letting them dedicate their time to online courses. Gives users motivation to start learning.
2. Systematic Online Learning: Provide users with interactive learning content, which should be both engaging and filled with theory and practice. Gives users a basic knowledge of the topic, does not ensure the users' internalization of knowledge.
3. Blended Learning: Provide users with coaching service, mostly in 1v1 or small classes. Gives users motivation, mentoring and monitoring, this ensures the internalization of knowledge.

Online learning should be social, should be gamified, should be adaptive, should be practical. Most MOOCs barely are like that, when we are talking about online education, many startups in China are ahead of Silicon Valley. Chinese parents are more interested in their children's education than most other parents in the world, the enormous housing bubble is mostly encouraged by "school district housings"(学区房), where parents buy 10 square meter apartments in Haidian, Xicheng, Dongcheng district in Beijing just to let their children go to some famous public school.

Actually, this day an age where all the simple problems have been solved, we're especially susceptible to this line of thinking. As entrepreneurs, we all know the saying: "It has to be x10 better than the existing product". Without new problems to solve, increasing desperation mounts, culminating lots of failures where a product is supposed to be x10 better.

> but on a [...] UX note they've done a great job

Really? Their UI is bloated and ridiculous. On my laptop screen I can see a whopping two stories per page, compared to 10 on reddit. It's confusing, crammed and poorly designed. There's a big useless sidebar on the left where your eye automatically goes to, instead of the content.

It looks exactly like the project of young webdevs straight out of school who are using all the fancy hip new tech and just learned about material design.

EDIT: One quick example of "not putting content first". Take a given story. At the very top, in big, we have the username and their avatar. So to kick off, it seems more like Twitter/Facebook than reddit. The user posting is given more importance than the content itself...
Looks good so far. How do I change my account password?
the article is pretty weak, people have built rdma machines that size before, and there have been architectures that allow for direct memory addressability of that size before.

so i have to assume the latter. that seems to be borne out by the little information i can find...addressable persistent memory is clearly a theme. but i haven't found any discussion of what kind of latency hiding mechanisms might be at play
and what kind of consistency model is being used. will keep looking for anything detailed an authoritative

(edit - this seems to be pretty relevant https://www.labs.hpe.com/publications...but i don't know how much of it was speculative and how much was built...after all the security papers, there are some about concurrency control)
The context of rules I was referring to was in light of social interactions. Obviously, rules are a generally good construct, however occasional exceptions are usually reasonable.

The examples provided were in light of the interactions. I have tons of these things. Usually it is that there is some sort of policy in place.

Crackerbarrel would not bring out biscuits/bread prior to the meal unless requested by the customer. Customer had to "ask" for the bread prior to the meal.

Asking to shift a work shift 15-30 minutes to take care of another appointment.

Crossing a red-light at 1am because there is a bug in the scheduler and one has been sitting at an intersection for 10 minutes without another car in sight for miles.

Olive Garden has a salad/breakstick rule where the customer needs to request additional salad & breadsticks for it being "unlimited"

There's plenty of examples where it is perfectly reasonable to bend the rules.
Yes, using food purchased from a store that employed underpaid people, and containing ingredients picked by underpaid workers, bread baked by underpaid workers, meat likely processed at dangerous facilities, and so on. How is that more acceptable?

I think it's just that people have seen Aliens more, because it's easier to jump into it and have a good time, laugh at the "Game over man" scene, etc. Whereas with Alien you are on the edge of your seat the entire time. Much more draining.

Aliens is a bit different from your typical action movie in that the heroes are getting their butts kicked the entire time. The only time where the heroes really had a fist-pump moment was when the 2 sacrificed themselves by blowing up a bomb and taking out a couple of aliens.

"how to lose money while commuting to work"
You probably won't save much money unless you can completely eliminate all your car expenses. Food calories per mile and fuel cost per mile will likely be similar, with most crude estimates showing food being more expensive. Obviously there are many variables to play with here, but it certainly isn't obvious that switching from driving to cycling will save money.
If your favored solution is to increase poverty, I don't think you can fairly call it a form of support.

Sure. The highest ROI you can possibly have is by spending the time thinking. Make sure that you set aside money every month for a seed fund so that once you get an idea, which you eventually will, you can hit the ground running on it.

Once you have the idea for your business, which may take years, the ROI will have been much higher than anything else you could have possibly spent the same time doing. Think.

"Let's Help Each Other(For HR Professionals)
So, I have come up with an idea and I hope it will make a difference.

Being an HR, we do build our own database of candidates(not selected, irrelevant etc) and save it for future openings what if we share this data with other HRs who are trying to close the similar profile this way hiring will be much easier according to me.

Benefits:
Filtered candidates
Chances of candidates' placement will increase
Good Reach
faster Closures

The only warfare that matters today is asymmetrical warfare against relatively low-tech guerrillas and third-tier states. Once you credibly threaten the homeland of any opponent near the US's level of military sophistication, you've already lost the war.

My strategy is to take public transit and work for my employer on a laptop with a mobile connection. If your time is valuable enough (>$50/hr?), it may even be profitable to pay for a Lyft and work during the ride.

I wonder how many developers would consider using the filesystem as a document store bad practice, but at the same time be happy using mongodb.

It's odd that with the rise of solid, free rdbms' like postgresql (and the current generation of mysql forks) - the general reaction among developers hasn't been to realize that 99% of systems are/should be data-first/data centric - but rather a stubborn struggle to pretend their language supports transaction-guaranteed persisted runtime/memory -- without actually using a real object database like zoodb (for python) or gemstone.

Their story is that they'll have such a huge amount of user growth and that they'll figure out some way to monentize that huge amount of users, because that's the easy part, right?

If their growth stalls somewhere before profitability, they're toast. Imagine an auto parts manufacturer posting those sorts of numbers - sales down YoY and no profits. They'd be worth about as much as their office furniture could fetch on the open market.
