> wealth only exists as a construct of society

And so do property rights and pretty much any other kind of right. To begin with, the construct was there, but the wealth wasn't, and definitely not Bill Gates' wealth, which did not exist prior to the creation of Microsoft and the aggregate consumer surplus and capital it created.
Google doesn't have a reputation of ignoring it to the point where they tacitly encourage it, like Uber does.

The images have clear fold lines in them.
The theory has always been that those sluggers would be the ones driving people in, rather than counting on the guys behind to drive them in. So it's an interesting tradeoff - more people on base with worse hitters behind them who may not get them in or great hitters who are great at driving people in, but there might not be anyone on.

I agree with your broad point about the fairly poor state of education and its central role in the country's future. I don't agree with some other things: one of which being "at least a random billionaire can have the money and direction to get things done, even if not all their ideas pan out." I argued that above so I won't rehash it, but to summarize, I hold the precautionary principle in high regard, and you - I think - prefer iteration and experimentation; we can agree to disagree.

Otherwise I found your comment a bit contradictory. You don't like recent investments in classroom technology and say that technology isn't a solution, but you seem to think that technology is an at least partially adequate replacement for the classroom itself. Mark Zuckerberg wasted $100m in New Jersey (was it a waste? How do we know?) but seem happy for that pattern to continue.

To pick on a specific theme you touched on a few times: learning isn't even mostly about information. Ask anyone who bought a textbook in college then slept through lectures and never spoke to their professor. Kahn Academy doesn't represent a visionary, Montessori-compatible approach to learning math; instead it's a scaled up, gamified, alternative to an already stale math education pattern of rote memorization, depersonalized instruction, and practice problems. That's a part of math education - you have to learn how to apply techniques after all - but hardly represents the paradigm shift in math teaching that gets talked about here frequently. Don't get me wrong: Khan is a very good thing, especially for students struggling with bad teachers, but it's not the next step. And that's just talking about math education.

I don't agree at all that schools are less important. Schools are the only place where kids have mandatory exposure to specialists who's only job is to teach them things. To my point above, information is not education. 'Education' is the thing that happens when decent teachers with adequate materials and reasonable tools spend focused time with children. So you need time - which means smaller class sizes; you need tools, which really is a solved problem requiring only situational application of cash; you need materials, same; and you need decent teachers, which is a matter of training and status and autonomy and job satisfaction and vocation, and that is a really thorny mess. It's a generational political problem, not a thing a billionaire can meaningfully affect with a recommendation algorithm for syllabus modules.

So I guess my conclusion is - a really just absolutely epically well-funded lobbying foundation with a world-class policy board would do far more good than a series of expensive experiments playing with the margins of the existing borked system.
I was just at Colorado College's graduation (go Tigers!) and spoke with friends and professors about this. Seems like right now the only people choosing to work in tech in CSprings are doing it because they don't want to move away from an established lifestyle or because they want to contribute to the local ecosystem. If you're looking to open a satellite office, Boulder or Denver would be much better bang for buck.
This has been the case for many years.

Speaking as a former sponsored, professional climber who happens to have been one of the first Americans to solo 5.13... sorry but I'm still alive and kicking.

Listen... soloing is obviously very dangerous. Nobody who is out there soloing as a pastime is unaware of this. But comparing soloing to trying to jump gorges on rocket slides isn't doing justice to a complicated and nuanced subject.

Soloing is a personal decision. And it is usually carefully made. People who solo regularly are usually not adrenaline junkies. They're not thrill seekers. They're careful and methodical and prepared. They have probably solo down-climbed more total mileage than you can imagine.

Calling Alex a special person is fair and appropriate. But he's not a daredevil.

You're right though of course; there are a lot of variables and societal changes that have led to where we are now.
I have no idea. But it's taking a Fury twist and I just don't want that.
Velleman's "How to Prove It" is a nice textbook on how to develop mathematical proofs. You can apply the techniques to any other field you are interested in, and that is probably the best way to practice: by trying to prove things you already have some intuitive sense about.

I think it is important to have one 'menial' job at one point in your life, just to get some perspective. I think it staves off a lot of the attitudes that make someone a poor employee (or employer).

There's a time and a place to tell someone that the work they want you to do is not your job, but if you've worked in a true-entry level job you are far more likely to have some perspective on the matter. Plus you have to communicate with a wide variety of people in most of these jobs, which is a really important skill that I think a lot of my well-off friends who never worked before graduating college are missing.

Time is definitely our most important asset, but I think it's also possible to try optimizing a bit too much. Not that I want my kids working in a steel mill or a slaughterhouse as a janitor like my dad did when he was a kid. But I think a menial job is pretty important for development.
> pretty standard fare for a corporate firewall/proxy

It is? So corporations install something that infects your laptop and updates the root certificate every time Chrome or Firefox updates? Sounds extreme to me. Something the NSA might be able to do, but hopefully not my company.
This whole thing is so weird IDK what to believe.
Neat, but I've yet to see a single NFC use case that gets me anywhere near as excited as this author. Amiibo is a cool concept but obviously limited. I've used some writable tags for android settings changes and such years ago, but it just doesn't seem useful to me. Anyone know a killer use case I'm missing here?
If you enjoy this, then I also highly recommend the book "The Vertical World of Yosemite". It's shame it's out of print, practically every story in there is a gem.

Thanks for saving my time. I planned to write one for my self this year. Is it open source?
Me when defining a function. Comes up with that name.
Why would there be? Pluribus doesn't issue security clearances, the customer agency (in this case the NSA) does. It would be up to the NSA to do any additional background checks/vetting/polygraphs regarding security clearance for any contractors. Working for a contractor/switching jobs is hardly suspicious activity, so the NSA would have no reason to investigate her. Likewise Pluribus had no reason to be suspicious, so the most they'd do beyond the standard corporate background check is call up the NSA to confirm her clearance was active. At the end of the day even the NSA doesn't have the resources to be constantly vetting 100,000+ employees and contractors.
I think the primarily-AOT compilation strategy we see today is a consequence of many of the initial workloads being frame-based animation where AOT avoids animation stutters. But this is likely to evolve over time as wasm workloads evolve. If and when we see wasm showing up in frameworks in contexts where page-load is the primary concern I can see a more lazy JIT strategy being the right thing and then we'd want to specify some sort of developer knob to control this. But given a pure-JIT approach like Chakra is using, wasm should be able to load code byte-for-byte faster than JS.
It did come up yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14491686. One downside of the annual announcement-day extravaganzas the big tech cos all do is that there is only enough space on HN's front page for the 3 or 4 biggest announcements, at most. Even then a lot of users get irritated by how much Apple/Microsoft/Google/whatever is appearing on conference day.

Well I'm glad this isn't .NET, or almost as bad, Electron. I think web is a fine choice, provided it's open source and self-hostable for those who care.
Even if people self-host, if a prosecutor suspected you had data about them meeting they could probably subpoena your server.
Right. Each is aimed at somewhat different audiences. We're undoubtedly getting into some pretty fine hairsplitting, the thing I was whining about is 'pure maths students' and 'everyone else' is not an accurate way to describe them.

As a Texan transplant, trying to find any bbq or Mexican food that isn't chain or slop, is hard!
Ok, I'm probably missing something.

How is public-key homomorphic encryption possible? Suppose I know the pub-key, and have some cipher text X. Can't I simply encrypt 0 and try, for all plausible values V, whether encrypt(V) - X = encrypt(0).
Or is the encryption function not reversible, i.e. there are multiple 0s?

If not, it seems like you'd need quite a bit of true entropy in the plausible values. I don't see how you add something like a Nonce to artificially add entropy.

Heck, if you have nice integer under/over flow on division, that would give a crude implementation of comparison, bringing the search down by a logarithm.

It seems like the only reasonable situation is one where indeed multiple different values decrypt to 0.
Yeah the startup scene is pretty rag tag and unprofessional in a lot of ways, but in other ways it far exceeds any capabilities you'll find in California or anywhere else for that matter. Boulder doesn't really need a model, they are sort of pushing a bunch of envelopes uphill all on their own.
This already exists. I posted links in response to the OP referencing a RadioLab episode where precisely this occurred over Fallujah and helped to track down suicide bombers/bomb makers.

But it also begs the obvious question, has TheIntercept been compromised by one of the alphabet agencies? Could it have been intentional on TheIntercept's part but done in a way that gives them plausible deniability? Does seem interesting that TheIntercept isn't treated like Wikileaks for essentially doing the same thing, especially seeing how they're a domestic organization.
My psychologist friend recommended Freud's 1923 paper on "Id and the ego".

Wikipedia's exegesis about the paper [1] was easier to understand than the article on the topic [2]. But still not useful or even very meaningful to me.

However I discovered that what I am interested in seems to be called "human behaviour" or "behavioural science" rather than "psychology".

As much crap as people give the civil servants in the US, I feel like our government does a pretty reasonable job at finding competent employees. I'm from Chicago, so I definitely know how false that statement can be, but most other places in the world seem a lot more about who your parents were and who you know.

I mean, the social stratification of the public/private school thing is somewhat baffling to me, as someone who attended school in one of the best community-run school districts in the US.
sure, then it all falls on its face due to a stupid bug. I'm currently writing a book on cases where bugs caused serious damage or harm to people and it's amazing how many stupid assumptions people make believing that tech is always right. e.g. Georgia Department of Driver Services couldn't handle photo recognition for twins -- their fraud detection systems insisted it was the same person and rejected driving license test applications as potential fraud (same person applying twice under different names). BBC journalists managed to trick HSBC voice authentication (again using twins). Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles falsely identified a person by matching his drivers license photo against an anti-terrorism database and revoked his license, wouldn't even tell him over the phone why. It's just a matter of time before some really serious mess kicks off because a computer wrongly recognised something.
The biggest use case is probably for public transport.

Interestingly, the post only covers how the right leaning press manipulates the truth to further their own ends, and only alludes to the fact the left do it; as expected from a user called 'Don't vote Conservative (UK)'. As a centrist (who will be deliberately abstaining from voting for the first time in nearly 30 years of voting) I find the left's cognitive dissonance and bias extremely alarming.
Google may be leading the IPv6 charge on their own public-facing properties; they have yet to support it in Google Cloud.
Is that in the US? In my Eastern European country, IPv6 has not become directly available to mobile customers. One of our major ISPs began offering IPv6 addresses for fiber customers over half a decade ago; all the customer needs to do is set up PPPoE on the router and the connection automatically gets both IPv4 and a couple of IPv6 addresses. But if you add mobile internet to your contract with that ISP, that mobile connection still only provides an IPv4 address that I assume is NATed to hell. The same is true of internet connections through a large pan-European mobile provider here.
Of course performance matters, just not for voting for a meaningless game (that was stupidly given meaning). Schwarber isn't going to be suddenly become thrilled with how well his season is going just because he finishes fifth in ASG voting.

I don't think you need to replicate Silicon Valley. Why would you want to? It has serious problems that are not going to be easily addressed.

Also, it isn't a given that money has to continue to concentrate in a few places. This is not some force of nature we are watching. It is human activity. Sure, human activity gets influenced by factors outside of our control. It is easier to "go with the flow" of various things than to swim upstream. But we have a lot more ability to choose to do something else if we don't like how this is going than most creatures have.

I don't like how articles (like the Wired article that inspired this post) just seem to presume all we can do is document the trend and make our peace with accepting it. That is crazy. If people think this is a terrible, corrosive trend, then why not write articles that give push back to the trend (like this one does) instead of just documenting it like a runaway train we cannot stop?

VCs can go invest money wherever they want. Rich people have far more mobility than others. They don't have to limit themselves to a handful of places. Nor are other people simply doomed to curry favor with them. Most of their so-called money isn't actually in the form of money per se. They own stocks or real estate or whatever. Money has to circulate like blood in order to stay alive. They need things to invest in. It isn't in their best interest to let it sit in a vault rotting.

It is absolutely not a given that these trends have to continue in this same direction. Humans can say "Oh, we don't like where our behavior is taking us. Let's consider other options." It isn't a Greek Tragedy where the more you try to resist your fate, the more doomed you are to entrench it as the only option.
Yes, that's the average person, but for those who aren't average like the upper middle class kid wanting to get into a decent school, get a good job and not bring life-long shame to his family, I think it's fairly strong.

Criminals definitely are worse at it, but I asked "how many more would commit crimes..." so that's not really relevant.
I was commenting about what Axler is, and not comparing it to anything else.

My point is that the comment that you quoted from the preface in no way changes the fact that the book's point is to convey an understanding of linear algebra that is primarily of interest to people going on in math.

Now I happen to think it is the right way to understand linear algebra and is how people in other fields should think about it. Because it is easier to figure out again if you've not done it in a while. But this point of view is primarily going to motivate would be mathematicians.
I heartily agree, and I wouldn't suggest it's a bad thing. Teenagers are having fun in perhaps not the healthiest way, or the most intellectually stimulating, but it's fun, and I wouldn't want to take that away from someone in exchange for a job. Many players also have other activities, unofficial ones, as hobbies too. To support playing Overwatch is for some to support engaging in a hobby they personally enjoy.

Suppose you were to direct a teenager to do a hobby he/she isn't too keen on, in which case the fun time will be consumed with instant gratification. Then suppose you give them the free time to find and cultivate hobbies at will.

I am experiencing this right now. My exams just finished and I'm finding more time to do programming (a close replica of the 2003 Japanese futaba imageboard script in modern PHP), and Overwatch. Sure, I'm not programming all the time, and it's not an "extracurricular activity" (at least not an official one) but it's mighty fun.
