You are incorrect about the internships, which don't require visas for F1 holders as they get a year of OPT. Now, they might save up their one year of OPT for post graduation, which is useful for the wait in getting an H1, though I guess there are also useful extensions that can even get around that (IANAL, so I don't know what the exact story is ATM).

I have the same issue. My workaround is to lie in bed, count 1, 2, 3, 4 over and over again (in my mind) and try to focus on these numbers. My mind wanders away all the time but then I just try to get back to counting.

I focus on creating the ideal environment for a healthy microbiome, and I don't think that people should wait around for a pill, because the most obvious answer is to change one's diet.

People say, "it's too hard to change my diet", but they don't realize that changing diet is much easier than dealing with health problems. Unhealthy food has literally become an addictive, recreational drug, and most people have trouble quitting or even admitting that they have a problem.
And it's not a new thesis, it has been noticed by various intellectuals at least for last 200 years.

That's interesting. I was thinking that perhaps the usability of WeChat for banking is partly due to the lack of pervasive keylogging and remote access tool malware on Android that exists on Windows. All those security threats may be the reason desktop banking requires all the dongles and such.
Sure, I think that's a great idea. Lots of ways to encourage.

Note there may be existing support groups for this such as the ACLU. I'm not exactly sure which non-profits employ a legal defense staff and cover tech issues.

Perhaps WikiLeaks could be rebuilt. But I think we should try to learn something from v. 1.0 which became politicized very quickly. I think the takeaway is you want someone who is very trusted within our community to run it. An entrepreneur with a good track record of being honest, and perhaps also has a law degree.

> Why is it just westerners/whites who are expected to cope with a changing population?

I'm living in Shanghai, and I certainly expect the Chinese to cope with my presence. It has been going well so far; at worst I get kids pointing their fingers at me. It probably helps that I'm more a curiosity than part of an invading horde.

Of course if there were a sudden influx of foreigners large enough to significantly alter the population statistics, there would probably be a strong backlash; partly due to the influence on the housing market and partly due to plain racism, but I wouldn't be more accepting of that than if it happens in the west.

Basically, I like having the opportunity of moving to any country I want, so why shouldn't the same hold for anyone who wants to come to my home country?
Hi, I think your post is very interesting, because as an individual programmer attempting to start my own startup, I've found (over and over again!) that the one thing I've needed more than anything else was a DevOps/SRE guy who could make sure the Website/Server/Database was up and running and healthy, 24/7. Now, I'm not in startup mode anymore -- I'm on hiatus. And, when I was in startup mode, I had very little $$$, so I wouldn't have been able to pay you that well.
But, here's the thing. If you can tough it out without too much money, you might be able to find say 20 startups who are willing to trade some percentages of stock for your services, and in a year or so, if one of them does really well, you might be able to cash out. Now what's neat is that when you're not asking for $$$, your bargaining position is increased hugely. So you could offer a service where say every 8 hours you check a site and you don't spend more than 5 minutes servicing it (if even that). You just basically check, reboot services if they're not healthy (maybe send an email too), and you're on your way to the next customer. If any startup starts to do well, you're then in a prime negotiating position to get X hours at $Y dollars, and whatever kind of schedule you like...

Prior to Deep Learning, Machine Learning community don't really associated themselves with Artificial Intelligence very often. The AI at the time, if I recall correctly, related more to 70s symbolism and heuristic search approach.

Now DL have became the dominant focus, people start to put AI/DL in every places possible, to ride the along the hype. For me it is deep learning that really leads the AI buzzword trend at this point.

I feel the same, and I always seem to be able to drop that rushed feeling after about 3-4 days of holiday. Just being in nature first make me feel I should be doing something useful but after a couple of days the more relaxed mindset kicks in. I become a nicer person to be around, I'm better at handling my kids (I'm less emotional, more calm) and I start to live more slowly. The relationship with my wife also flourishes under such circumstances. That feeling we create, of urgency, of pressure to perform, of setting the bar so high we almost always fail our own big plans, is really damaging I think. It's very healthy to feel content with oneself, to be proud and calm, to feel like you are doing well.

I really need to unwind before bed, and if I don't get that time to turn off my brain, I'll be up all night. So I stay up late until I feel ready for bed, but I'm screwed either way at that point.
That's actually what we do in some schools of zen when we do zazen.

We begin to steady and stabilize the mind by counting the breath. We practice by counting each inhalation and each exhalation, beginning with one and counting up to ten. Inhale — at the end of the inhalation, count one. Exhale — at the end of the exhalation, count two. When you get to ten, come back to one and start all over. The only agreement that you make with yourself in this process is that if your mind begins to wander — if you become aware that what you’re doing is chasing thoughts – you will look at the thought, acknowledge it, and then deliberately and consciously let it go and begin the count again at one.

It eventually stills the mind and will help you, or at least me (the few times I have trouble falling asleep), to wander into zzzzz land.

Obviously I'm not in your head and I could be wrong, but I think what sets you apart from the kids described in the article is that you acted on emotions. The kids described had none. They knew what they were doing, they did not black out in rage. The harm they did was calculated.

It seems to me that you had bursts of violence because you felt hurt yourself and needed to make things 'right', not just because you found joy in harming others.

> Reading more, I guess I'm just doing the sorting inside the "next-state relation" of a state machine, so it's done in one state transition

While you could describe all of quicksort as a function in TLA+ (taking place instantaneously), that's no what you've done. You described a single state transition, but one that doesn't capture all of quicksort, just one partitioning step. To show that the result is sorted, you'd need to do an induction over such concatenations; the thing you're doing the induction over is called state.

Sorry - wrong answer.

The machines were mostly moved to China because of climate policy (and lower wages, and despite QE credit being easier in China) (TLDR: we moved all factories to be coal powered regions (~20x more polluting than oil, ~2e12 times more polluting than nuclear), because our nuclear and oil powered power plants were too polluting).

So this argument might have worked 10 years ago, but today too much of the economy has nothing to do with machines (other than laptops running excel spreadsheets).

Try again ?
Ok. After reading all the comments, I am now instead leaning more towards the conclusion that private blockchains are tools to separate fools from their money.
Are you comparing it to the cost of electricity, or the price of a nice roof plus electricity? Because Tesla was pretty clear about how the pricing works. And if Forward Labs cost is 33% cheaper than Tesla's premium roof, it also doesn't make sense if you don't need to replace your current premium roof.

Only in their own jurisdiction. The US already goes after those, but it won't help as long as other countries don't.

> They can make holding it illegal.

Unenforceable. Making the knowledge of a secret key illegal would simply be weird. Bitcoins have no physical incarnation. So, you cannot "hold" them in your hand.

> They can make mining it illegal.

Unenforceable. It is very easy to hide that a machine is mining. Furthermore, such machines can be located in any country of the world.

> They can make trading it illegal.

They already try to do that. It doesn't help.

> They can manipulate the market to crash the value of bitcoin with (to them) pocket change.

They would first have to buy up a lot of bitcoin in order to dump them and crash the market. While buying up the coins, they are pushing its value up. When selling them, they just go back to the point they came from. Hence, the strategy would be totally ineffective.

What's more, if governments attack the internet, people will discover that the reverse is much, much easier. Using the internet to orchestrate attacks against the government, is simply trivial to organize.
These were my early experiences as well using a butane stove. The induction range I use gives me fine control over the heat level. That, plus proper preheating and technique at the beginning of roasting ensures you don't scorch the beans, but roast them uniformly.

Inline Def: An Effective Debugging Technique for Clojure
I wasn't totally convinced by the first linked essay. The primary arguments presented seem to be:

- Government funded development only gives the government what it wants while the citizens remain unsatisfied. This is due to a lack of "market tests".
- We never tested the alternative where the government doesn't fund research and let private companies innovate instead.

Dr. Mazzucato addresses this in her book. She notes that the government needs to provide a pipeline from basic research to marketability. She also argues that the last twenty years, in various countries, have shown that trusting private companies to innovate doesn't give better returns. Also, I feel like Dr. Glein is over-simplifying Dr. Mazzucato's argument by claiming she argues that "many of the technologies and innovations we now value were produced single-handedly by government". Dr. Mazzucato routinely celebrates the ability of private companies to integrate innovative technologies for the public. She's mostly arguing that these companies should be taxed better (more efficiently? realistically?) by licensing the technologies.

However, the argument Dr. Glein links to (https://www.jstor.org/stable/116937?seq=1#page_scan_tab_cont...), is very interesting! It claims that R&D personnel are a finite resource and government funding crowds out the supply of talent for the private sector. I don't know why, but I thought the supply was elastic? Maybe because I over-idealize immigration?

The second essay seems to mostly re-iterate the importance of the "crowding out" effect. It also notes that Mazzucato got some data wrong because: "But in the thirties governments in the US did not fund long-term fundamental research, so companies did it themselves. Now that governments do fund long-term fundamental research, industry needs no longer do so: yet again Professor Mazzucato advocates the very policies that lead to the outcomes she deplores."

tl;dr people seem to be getting different conclusions from datasets I haven't seen and I need to do more research into the "crowding out effect"

The point is, regulation here is failing because it is not community led. We need to take matters in our own hands to understand the difficulties, simplify and source it back to the government, if needed.

I guess, but I think when people read the article, the part that's scary is the violence. The lack of empathy is disturbing (i don't lack empathy).

I think most people who want to live off-planet have a very romanticised notion of what that entails. Mars isn't going to be terraformed within our lifetimes, even if it was possible. Living on Mars = living permanently in a tunnel. And if you don't get along with the small community you'll be living with, you'll be screwed. And if you don't like living a fairly regimented lifestyle, you'll be screwed as well; there'll be no equivalent of "let's see what cafes are down this alleyway!".

I think far more people actually want a 'holiday' off-planet, than actually live off-planet.

I don't want to deregulate everything, especially not all security regulations on cars. What is needed is removing distance between regulators and users.

Would you rather buy a locked down laptop which is factory protected against viruses (with a known set of them) but no chance to modify nor understand the virus protection system. Or, choose for a regulating system that punishes those who help spread viruses because no scanner was installed?

The latter teaches the users more and keeps them closer to the product. It creates a market where more parties can enter and provide security advice.

Lastly, the 'stepping over death and destruction' is obviously a straw man. We have seen many deregulations that we in dire need and worked out well. It all depends on transparency and communication.
