Good luck with that, the current FCC chair was an Obama appointee. This has nothing to do with silly Russian conspiracy theories and everything to do with money.
Interesting, maybe not the same effect but maybe one that works in concert.

>If you don't want to talk to a professional, go somewhere with your wife and talk about what you're feeling.

In my experience, a friend and a spouse or a parent cannot replace a psychologist. I think the reason for that is because psychologists listen differently. In whatever you are telling them, you are hiding a call for help in a sense. A friend or a wife might not spot that call for help. Additionally, a psychologist can answer better than a spouse or a friend does, I think.

Maybe that was just my experience, but I felt I had a much better talk with a psychologist than with a friend. Probably, because the barrier is much lower. Like you don't have to worry about them judging you or whatever.

...and what's the problem with that? I'm a big fan of Porsches, but I can tell you that Porsche doesn't lower the price of their cars below market value so that all of their fans can afford one. Is there any other industry that deliberately sells their products way below market value where the purpose is something other than undercutting competition?
I tried Clojure and literally within the first hour got a super ugly Java stack trace from trying to add two numbers, and that was after already being a bit miffed by JVM startup time (i'm very big on instant unit test feedback). Meh.
In many cases you can have both X and Y, eg. if X is camping and Y is hackathons, go camping one weekend and go to the hackathon the next weekend (or have one partner go camping and the other go hacking, if you value the individual activities more than the time spent together). If X is a clean apartment and Y is more time spent programming, throw money at the problem and hire a cleaning lady. My wife and I had a fight early on in our relationship over whether the Brita should be cold or lukewarm, and we solved it by buying a $1.50 pitcher, putting my drinking water in the fridge, and putting hers on the kitchen counter. Or for a more complex example, if X is kids and Y is a startup, you figure out what else needs to change in your life to accommodate both (eg. pay money for childcare, set boundaries on work time, babysit the kid while answering support emails so your partner can take him when you have to do customer site visits) and make it happen.

There are some issues that really are mutually exclusive, mostly because they cut to the heart of what a relationship is. If one partner wants kids and the other wants no-kids, there isn't really a way to resolve that and still have what people would consider a marriage. If one partner wants to live on a farm but the other wants to live in the city, or one is a neat-freak and the other is a compulsive hoarder, you're headed for problems. If one wants the kids raised as Orthodox Jews and the other wants them to be fundamentalist Christians, this is probably insoluble within the conventional definitions of those religions. These are beliefs where you really want to make sure you match before you get married.

But even a lot of things that look totally contradictory at first can have solutions if you're willing to give up other stuff. I know couples that live in different cities and only see each other on weekends, or ones of different religions where they've just decided to mash their different cultures together and create their own religion for the kids.
Unless you build lighter, more aerodynamic, smaller cars with batteries, then you get both less emissions and greater fuel economy. Cheating is easier though.
Is there some way to create an SMS based service using Twilio, and charge users? Like, the user gets charged on their phone bill and I, the service owner, get paid by Twilio or something.

Or is that just not a thing and it has to be done OOB?
A little off topic. Gobekli Tepe is a really fascinating find. The size of the pillars, the inscriptions, the intricate designs of the pottery and jewelry (with cleanly drilled holes in them) give a glimpse of a sophisticated civilization with architecture and farming at a time when humans are supposed to be hunter-gatherers. Graham Hancock has a few very interesting books on this. He seems to believe that humans basically go through periods of amnesia or better put get periodically wiped out, lose their bearings and start over again. We become just like that ancient human circa 5000 BC looking at the ruins of Gobekli Tepe. Or the modern human looking at the Pyramids all over the ancient world and trying to piece history together.
I'm terrible at talking, and certainly at bullshitting. It happened that I was an excellent candidate for the role, but perhaps they might have hired a bullshit artist instead.

But I don't think so. I think I can often smell bullshit just by its sound, and I think a good manager could do even better.

Beyond that, you can be great at the whiteboard and still full of shit.
Since your company seems quite mature, it's got to be possible for you to find someone you can help run day to day. Even if you have to be there 80% in the start it's a win, and you can slowly ramp it down to say 20%.

The aqcuirint company probably don't expect you to be super passionate after their takeover, so they shouldn't object. Even if they do, the worst that could happen is probably that they knock off a chunk of your earnout package, you'll probably make much more than if you simply leave now.

If money is not the issue at all then you should definitely leave as soon as you can. There is absolutely no point in being miserable if it doesn't pay off big time. You already did something awesome, be proud of that and move on with good conscience!

There will always be room in the market for trendy, abstracted languages like Assembly that provide simple syntax and garbage collection to sort memory management. Sometimes I think it's too user friendly though:

assembly new project

When you scaffold an app like this in assembly you hardly know what it's doing under the hood.
It's important to remember what you are trying to do when you are being accommodating. You want to help others help themselves so that they are more capable in the end.

The author here took 100% of the work and pains from those around him. The people he helped were relieved of that task but are no more prepared for it should it arise again.

Personally I do try and be accommodating to those around me; but I include them in what is being done so they can learn from it. This give them back more than just result of the task and enables them to hopefully accomplish it themselves next time.
Ha, that's fair, I take your point. I was being a little glib. I didn't mean to suggest conscious malice on the barber's part -- only that the barber may be incented to provide more haircuts than are strictly necessary.

Perhaps the analogy works better if the barber is a friendly, honest person, who takes professional umbrage when they see other people with longer hair :)

Sure you can - many of us have phones in our pockets right now which are doing just that over LTE.

With an imaginary phone running with an imaginary v4 extended address, you'd still need something in the network at the carrier side to handle communications with legacy devices.

There's not much difference between that and having a v6-only device.
The fact that big tech companies like Facebook support net neutrality actually makes me consider not supporting it. I just don't trust Facebook's motives - What I do trust is their ability and willingness to screw over society in order to maximise profits.
It's possible. I've had people older than me join me. I've got multiple startups under my belt.

The hardest part is not getting them to join you.. the problem is getting them to stick! Especially in the beginning at a bootstrapped startup without a salary. Simply put, they have other options -- a Real Job(tm) or career they can go back to; and those options start looking better and better when things are bumpy (esp at the beginning). But, you can compensate for that. (by aggressively compensating on actual profits.)

On that note...

If you're reading this thread and have lots of experience and looking to join a hot security startup, we're looking for both experienced and inexperienced rockstars/ninjas/10x/etc. Please email me at first.last at userify.com. We have specific needs in the areas of enterprise sales and marketing, as well as engineering, security, systems architecture, Go, Python, and we're also looking for a strong Windows lead.
tl;dr: not installing dependencies and skipping repetitive, complex and time consuming bootstrapping every time a machine is initially provisioned reduces the time it takes for the server to be operational.

Interesting graphs though.

For the others, look for Wim Hof. I still don't understand how.

I mean, AI research seems like it will be the last to go by definition: as long as there is anything else around to be taken over by AI then that is a justification that the AI researchers aren't done right?
Contrary to IPFS dat is more focused on what can be achieved right now while sacrificing true decentralisation, and is more opinonated with providing in its use case with providing things like versioning.
Vouched so I can point out that yours is an obsolete line of argument; consciousness can be suspended, yet the organism retain intelligent function, by means of transcranial magnetic stimulation. Certain lesions and traumas can produce the same or a similar effect, but permanently - Cotard's delusion, for example, in which that part of the mind which calls itself "I" becomes unshakably convinced that it is dead, and assumes the body must be also because it cannot conceive of any distinction between the two. The materialist explanation of conscious experience, then, is quite straightforwardly that it is an epiphenomenon of some kinds of brains but not others, and thus in no way suggests or implies there's any sort of mystical business going on.

I can't recommend attempting to argue against materialism per se; systems of faith are so strongly and intimately cherished that this is as much an attack as is the attempt to argue you (or me) out of Christianity. The idea is rather to believe what we believe, have the other guy believe what he believes, and manage to get along nonetheless. Our errant brothers and sisters in the "progressive" heresy have largely lost sight of this. We need not live down to their example, and we must not lose sight of the fact that they are our brothers and sisters, who have merely lost their way. Anger and opposition are easy - are we here to do easy things?
This is a neat tool. I bought a license yesterday and finally got a chance to play around with it.

If you're taking requests: I'd really love the ability to specify a script to run when opening Terminal. Both by specifying a location for an external shell script, but also by having the ability to just toss a few commands together in your interface.

And the window position thing above would be amazing.
They're pretty similar. Beaker supported both once, which may be what you're thinking of. This is what guided our decision: https://beakerbrowser.com/docs/inside-beaker/other-technolog...

The two features I list above, the append-only histories and secret-sharing, are unique to Dat. And, for us, the URL spec was a big deal.
These studies are always interesting, but I don't think they have much more scientific validity than, say, asking a bunch of religious fundamentalist preachers when the second coming of Jesus is going to be. No one knows how difficult it's going to be, and while we've overcome a lot of challenges, I'm positive there are many more to overcome before we get to human-level intelligence in computers. Whatever that means.
Cognitive dissonance is when you
hold two opposing viewpoints at once. Like if you think killing animals for food is wrong but you love eating steaks and plan to continue doing so.

It does not mean choosing to ignore reality or being willfully blind like you are using it here. I'm not sure how it has become popular to misuse it in that way over the last couple years, but it seems to be a thing.
The problem is that far too many people don't do product research beyond "Does it fit?".

I've seen a good amount of destroyed audio equipment resulting from the owner failing to do compatibility research beyond verifying that two components could be connected together. "What's an ohm? Do I need one of those?"

I've seen people get the most baffled faces from not being able to pass a high bandwidth signal through the hundreds of feet of hilariously thin uncertified HDMI cable that they just ran through their walls. "But the box said high speed!"

Interchangeable batteries in cars would mean that drivers are only one el cheapo Amazon third party generic out-of-spec "compatible" battery away from stopping at a red light next to a moving bomb.
Book into a high end beach resort for a week and work from one of those terrace lounges overlooking the water with wifi. Strictly limit the scope of things you will work on. This worked really well to soothe that decision fatigue/burnout feeling for me at least.

Joe Armstrong's dissertation became Erlang
I see what you mean. The reason I responded that way was because of the way OP worded their own message:

>Oh, bonus points, the settlement they got me when my position was made redundant has paid for the union dues for many years to come.

It sounds like he was happy he was able to milk some company out of money just because he got fired. That pinged my frivolous lawsuit radar pretty hard. I would've worded that, "When my employer failed to comply with federal regulations about how to lay me off, my union provided me with a lawyer to help recoup what I was owed." or something to that effect...
I love that particular xkcd

Unreliable is great! I don't want to be relied upon for things I don't want to do.

Why would I want to come off as reliable for things I don't want to be doing in the first place? That's a great way to get to do even more of the things you don't want to do. Sounds terrible.

Align your interests with mine, then we can talk about reliable.

In the words of one Richard Feynman : http://www.deliberate.rest/?p=685

> So I have invented another myth for myself—that I’m irresponsible. I tell everybody, I don’t do anything. If anybody asks me to be on a committee to take care of admissions, no, I’m irresponsible, I don’t give a damn about the students—of course I give a damn about the students but I know that somebody else’ll do it—and I take the view, “Let George do it,” a view which you’re not supposed to take, okay, because that’s not right to do, but I do that because I like to do physics and I want to see if I can still do it, and so I’m selfish, okay? I want to do my physics.

90% of the time, being "reliable" goes against my best interests in terms of career and goals. My value is that I can hunker down and make stuff. My value is not "tasks".
I agree. But if someone is resistant to professional help, then opening up to friends and family is better than nothing if they're supportive.
People like Hoffman and Shulgin are real heroes. It's unfortunate that most of the substances they discovered are largely ignored by the medical community simply because they are used recreationally.

I have high hopes for halluzinogenes like LSD or DMT though, I feel like they're getting more and more accepted, e.g. for treating PTSD, depression, addiction and other mental illnesses of that kind.

I recently read about DXM, and still have no idea how this stuff is legal in most countries. In Germany, you can buy 1g for 10€ over-the-counter, without prescription or ID. It's a messed up world we live in.

Drones can travel pretty far. And they are a lot less energy efficient than a walking robot, because they need to constantly expend energy to fight gravity.
I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention. Would you mind just putting in a ticket?
That has not been debunked - I'd say the jury is still out, at best. Many of the studies that supposedly debunk this claim have issues like including suicides, cherry picking specific violent crimes and excluding others, not accounting for gun purchases made in high risk areas because people buy out of fear (meaning violent crime was on the rise before the purchases), etc. One of the most reasonable studies I've seen is the one conducted by the CDC and was commissioned by the Obama administration.

http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/cdc-study-use-firearms-s...

The CDC concluded that it is an important deterrent to crime and found consistently lower injury rates for armed citizens compared with victims who used other defense methods (or had no defense method at all).

What cops do is absolutely not irrelevant in this regard. I would like to remind you that ordinary citizens can usually legally detain and physically restrain a criminal and can perform a citizen's arrest when they witness a felony crime in progress. What better way to do that than with a gun? Also, any person can legally apply lethal force if their life is in jeopardy. Cops are granted the extra benefit of being able to apply lethal force when someone else's life is in jeopardy and theirs is not.

Yes, a crucial reason behind the second amendment was to maintain the ability to fight against a tyrannical government. Another reason is the ability to fight on behalf of your government on an as-needed, short-notice type of scenario. The third main reason is what I mentioned - self-defense. The threats of that time were much greater - angry Brits that we snubbed, Native Americans that we killed, wild animals, etc. Plus the need to hunt. Being armed was a necessity. It was so obvious, that I think that part didn't even get mentioned in the second amendment. However, later on a number of states added specific state constitutional provisions that secured the right to "bear arms in defense of themselves and the state". These provisions usually included an element of self/personal defense as well as the state or "common defense". These are separate things. A very clear example is Colorado - "The right of no person to keep and bear arms in defense of his home, person and property, or in aid of the civil power when thereto legally summoned, shall be called in question; but nothing herein contained shall be construed to justify the practice of carrying concealed weapons."

Please also keep in mind that since the constitution trumps all other laws (federal, state, etc.), all other laws that are passed must conform to the constitution to be considered legal and valid. Colorado's language is extremely clear and plain. It has never been overturned or deemed unconstitutional. This therefore means that the second amendment must contain the right to personal self-defense not in service of the nation. And it should be clear based on these state provisions that were all passed that it was clearly a major element.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Denationalization_of_Money

> According to Hayek, instead of a national government issuing a specific currency, use of which is imposed on all members of its economy by force in the form of legal tender laws, private businesses should be allowed to issue their own forms of money, deciding how to do so on their own.

> In 1978 Hayek published a revised and enlarged edition entitled Denationalization of Money: The Argument Refined, where he speculated that rather than entertaining an unmanageable number of currencies, markets would converge on one or only a limited number of monetary standards, on which institutions would base the issue of their notes.[2]
> Each morning for the past couple months, my first thought has been "What could today be like if I didn't work here?". I drift off into exploring what it would be like to work at Wal Mart, or the construction site outside, or as a bagger at a grocery store. It seems so stress free.

Here's the thing- it probably isn't stress free, just different kinds of stress. And you also need to ask yourself whether the feelings are caused by your job and stress, or if they're just coinciding with them.

As many others have said, look into talking to a therapist.

Also, talk to you wife about this! If she was crying the same way, you'd want to know, and you'd want her to trust you enough to tell you. If there's any person you need to be able to open up to, it's your spouse.
I presume you're already familiar with computing the numerical and analytical Jacobian[1][2] and just wishing for a better way? :) They're memory intensive as all hell and pretty finicky but at least it's something. I'll admit that when floating point calculations are involved it can all go to hell anyway.

Recently I had to implement gradient calculations by hand recently (writing custom CUDA code) and had a pretty terrible time. Mixing the complications of CUDA code with my iffy manual differentiations and floating point silliness can drive you a little bonkers. I ended up implementing a slow automatic differentiated version and compared resulting outputs and gradients to help work through my bugs.

Here's hoping that Tensorflow's XLA and other JIT style CUDA compilers/optimizers will make much of this obsolete in the near future.

For those not familiar, the overhead for calling a CUDA kernel can be insanely high, especially when you're just doing an elementwise operation such as an add. Given your neural network likely has many many of these, wrapping many of these into one small piece of custom CUDA can result in substantial speed increases. Unfortunately there's not really any automatic way of doing that yet. We're stuck in the days of either writing manual assembly or being fine with suboptimal compiled C.
