> Why should I not I want my kids to grow up with the privileges of the top 20%?

You might deserve whatever you've worked for, but that has nothing to do with the question of whether your children deserve more or less than others. I'll let you look up John Rawls's "veil of ignorance" thought experiment for yourself.

> Why should I feel hated for cashing in the chips ... 40% of what I win gets taken away?

The system does enough to incentivize gambling already. The results are already non-linear, and if you were truly one of those lucky ones then you're still richer than the other nine even with 40% taken away. To the extent that incentives for gambling and arbitrage displace incentives for more beneficial or sustainable kinds of effort, that's bad both morally and economically. Almost nobody's suggesting that everyone should be kept absolutely level. The question is to what extent we should attenuate the accumulation of riches (especially inter-generational riches) to balance out the various "rich get richer" amplifying effects that already occur.
Anyone familiar with this branch of astronomy want to explain why one detection in a volume on the order of 27 billion cubic light years is reasonable? Are they still processing data and will find more events? Is the sensitivity highly anisotropic so the detection volume is significantly smaller? Or are events like this just really conveniently rare that we get about 1 every data gathering interval?

Solid track record of end-to-end software product development including API design, technical documentation, continuous integration and deployment. My software is used by thousands around the world daily. Leader of multiple open source projects and author of The Tao of tmux.

Available on contractual and consulting basis. Python is my tool of choice. I ship high quality, production-ready code regularly and routinely.

No whiteboarding or take homes, please. My software, including code, documentation, tests, and packages are publicly available on my websites.
The aim of the product is to display usage trends to it's customer, in real time.

My understanding as a non CS, self taught programmer is that such workloads are better served by NoSql DB s. Yes, this comes with the lack of acid compliance, but spotting trends in real-time (apparently) don't require acid compliance.

Please correct me if wrong as I'm getting down voted, which is rather amusing
I think the soviet parts are pretty cute. They are curious remnants of history now, since USSR is long gone and we will probably never see "Socialist realism" style being employed at such a scale ever again.
Another possible, more green solution would be to move to biodiesel to replace the existing fossil diesel. If electric cars more or less fully replace gasoline cars (which I expect to happen), and electric can be used for lighter duty short haul trucking, we can reduce the fossil fuel footprint to the point where biodiesel might actually be feasible.

The trick, then, is getting that clean fuel cost-competitive with fossil diesel.

I think perl invites a kind of mindset from how the language is and how the initial community was.

Why does it have something called 'say' instead of something more intuitive like 'println'. Then there are worse examples: carp, cluck, croak. These are commonly used. They are from the same module of course. There is also Moo, Moose. I'm not sure but was there something called 'Mo' too? Commonly used of course but as you can see from the names - you can't tell what they are for.

So, I think from some of the choices made in how the language is, it ended up being more drawn towards unreadability than readability by attracting a kind of mindset that wanted it to be 'fun' in a way that only a clique could relate to and now if the language doesn't have broad appeal, I think it shouldn't be that hard for them to accept that fact.
If you thought the scientist A and scientist B discovering X at the same time phenomenon was neat you'll probably like Kevin Kelly's take on it (https://www.amazon.com/What-Technology-Wants-Kevin-Kelly/dp/...). More or less he claims that not only does that sort of pattern occur, but that that's the norm, and that all human advancement, biological, social, technical etc. is a part of evolution.

I think the vast majority of coins and tokens are near worthless. People invest in them because other people invest in them, in hopes of seeing returns like early investors in Bitcoin and Ethereum did. There will be a correction at some point.

But that's not to say that a blockchain with functionality aside from store of value (like Ethereum) couldn't pan out and enable a whole new universe of use cases for trade, company formation and ownership, and contracts in general, on a global, super-fast, completely automatable scale. It could be yuge - but since no-one knows what will happen and it's still early days, the current valuation of Ethereum is also highly speculative. If it works out though - maybe the current valuation of Ethereum will look cheap in retrospective.
The one I grew up next to is pretty drab: https://flic.kr/p/C6QcXj

That's still pretty nice to be honest.
Because the most popular OS in the world now running in a the most popular CPU in the world would be a good match IMHO.
> Python's growth in popularity is largely due to its superior data science libraries and the backing of Google.

Both are false. Data science libraries are quite new development that happened
because Python got popular, not the other way around. Backing by Google
(whatever you mean) was irrelevant, as the main selling points for Python
dozen years ago was simple and readable syntax and nice web toolkits (a
movement that followed Ruby with its RoR).

> If Perl6 hadn't taken 15 years to complete Perl's popularity might be different.

Perl6 didn't compete for popularity with Perl, because it was essentially
non-existent back then. Perl popularity decline cannot be attributed to Perl6.

The thing is, Perl is a very complex language, but has competiton that is
simpler grammar-wise and similarly powerful and expressive: Python and Ruby.
It's easier for newcommers to learn Python or Ruby than Perl, so they rarely
dig into Perl. This means that the number of people leaving the language (a
normal thing for any language) is not matched by the number of young
programmers, which leads straight to decline.
It's great! No 80-90 a month, now it's 10-20.

Personally I like CBS All Access with Hulu, but sometimes I drop Hulu to get Netflix.

There are 3 or 4 options for lots more channels at 30-40/month. Streaming seems like a good deal so far.
The boundary of one's body seems like an arbitrary place to draw the line. Why not say that a sphere of radius 5 meters contains your consciousness? Then the air can be conscious too!

From a letter Talkien wrote after her death (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edith_Tolkien):

"I never called Edith Luthien – but she was the source of the story that in time became the chief part of the Silmarillion. It was first conceived in a small woodland glade filled with hemlocks at Roos in Yorkshire (where I was for a brief time in command of an outpost of the Humber Garrison in 1917, and she was able to live with me for a while). In those days her hair was raven, her skin clear, her eyes brighter than you have seen them, and she could sing – and dance. But the story has gone crooked, & I am left, and I cannot plead before the inexorable Mandos."

It's sad that although she was his Muse (at least in the younger days) they did not seem to share any of the lore he created in real life. She was not an intellectual and was not interested, he was a man's man (and also religious).

"I never called Edith Luthien". What a missed opportunity!

I've built half a dozen startups, including Writely (aka Google Docs), and I can honestly say that Scalyr is my favorite so far. We're building an amazing team, users rave about our product, and things are taking off – we're closing seven-figure contracts and revenue grew 5x last year. And we're doing it on a sane, 40-hour, daily-team-hike, Fridays-at-home schedule. We're pre-series-A, but in many ways playing like a series B company, so this is a chance to get the best of both worlds -- early-stage equity and impact, with later-stage compensation and stability; plus a very strong team for peering or mentorship.

Backend Engineer: We've built a NoSQL data engine from scratch that searches text at 750 GB/second. How'd you like to help us scale and optimize to multiple TB/second?

Agent Engineer: you'll own our lean, mean data collection agent. If you enjoy constantly getting to play with new tools, come help us connect to... everything. You'll get to play with packages from Apache to Zookeeper, APIs from AWS to, er, Azure, while tackling challenges such as monitoring 100,000+ simultaneous log files using minimal CPU.

Customer Success Engineer: our customers are engineers. We're looking for someone with lightweight ops experience and good communication skills to help them get the most out of Scalyr. A great opportunity to join the team and work your way up the engineering ladder.

Introducing the next generation of Skype
The second number is entirely moveable depending on the source of energy.

I would argue that (energy?) efficiency doesn't matter when dealing with energy extracted from the ground or from the sun or wind; what matters is the cost. The article doesn't mention the cost of extracting a ton of CO2 from the atmosphere, other than to say they have a ways to go on that front.

The "cost" of carbon emissions is estimated from $25-$125/ton (Social Cost of Carbon), and financial planning from fossil fuel companies like Exxon use a cost of $80/ton. (For some more familiar numbers, $80/ton equates to about $0.80/gallon of gas, or $0.035/kWh for combined-cycle natural gas electricity).

One could imagine carbon emitters paying for capture, or paying society for the costs that they impose on the rest of us. However, once you add that extra $35/MWh for natural gas electricity, renewables start to look pretty good. (For comparison, wind subsidies in Texas are around $24/MWh, so natural gas is getting a carbon subsidy than wind power gets. And unsubsidized wind and solar in the proper sites are extremely competitive cost wise.)

In any case, within the next few decades at least, it's going to be cheaper to use solar+wind+storage than it is going to be to burn coal and then extract the CO2.
I think so. It's also the one in which the protagonist stalled the attacker by means of a keyring, which is not so much a thing you can do any more.
Eh, it's kind of drab, especially compared to the ones I'd ride through as I went towards the center. It's about as fun as most of New York's stations, most of which aren't really artistically interesting either.
This article dishes out too much hype.

Photosynthesis may be 0.5% - 2% efficient, but this new technology is "roughly 1000x as efficient as photosynthesis", which must make it 1000% efficient.

Further, the comparison with photosynthesis is similarly awful. This new thing collects and concentrates CO2, hoping there's an application for it that doesn't involve letting it go again. Photosynthesis essentially destroys CO2.

The real lede I'm looking for is how much energy it consumes and how much CO2 it processes, either today or someday. Guess there wasn't enough room in the article for that.
There's a missing epilogue:

9) The states themselves, as well as a large interest group formed by the purchasers of whatever deals were securitized, are now financially interested in the continued financial health of the malfeasors.

In other words: the opioid producers now have the states and bondholders rooting for them to continue selling opioids.

(In fairness: if the pharmas are not pure plays this will not be as dismal as it was with tobacco. But in the tobacco case, it was pretty clearly laid out that the continued payment streams were secured only by MSA revenues based on continuing cigarette sales. So the states, or the bondholders, were rooting for continued cigarette sales.)
>The right to encrypt is the right to privacy.

Is there no right to encrypt? Because no government can actually prevent you from encrypting anything and the maths behind cryptography are openly taught and researched in all modern states. So are you saying that governments should never have the right to compel you to decrypt what you encrypted (by, for example, a fine or a prison term)?

I felt a few of the homages in And Another Thing were a little too fanservice-y. Sometimes it seemed like the editor said "we could do with another Adams-style rant in this chapter" but it didn't come as naturally as Adams' would. But yes overall it was a quite enjoyable novel in a similar vein as the originals, and ultimately my opinion came from the same kind of bundle of expectations that leads people to read The Simarillion looking for more narratives.
