This makes a lot of sense but would never have occurred to me.

What are the real-world consequences if you fail to "cope" with demand or generation - increased probability of systemic failure? Something blowing out?
Please at least make an attempt to try to understand the other side. When any immigrants come, they change the country they immigrate to. With these particular refugees, they're refugees in no small part because of shortcomings their home culture has. It's not evil to want to preserve your own culture in the face of this. You can feel empathy for the people trapped in a hellish warzone just as you can feel empathy for the girl raped by migrants. The refugee debate is not good-vs-evil; it's competing virtues.
Thank you very much for your reply. Highly interesting ideas there! Sounds a little like part of the system Daniel Suarez devised in Daemon and Freedom™ :)

Two principal problems are probably Big Money gaming the system and people not wanting to publicly disclose their views. In the worst case your scheme might end up serving age-old staples of propaganda: Falsely implying a consensus and the establishment of authority (of the most trusted users).

I'll keep a look out for how you try to deal with that in the future.
I've heard similar sentiments expressed through the Valley grapevine, but IMHO, they're misplaced. The culprit isn't SAFE notes, as a deal structure. The culprit is entrepreneurs who treat SAFE seed rounds as an inexhaustible piggybank that will tide them over until Series A.

Founders need to realize that if they had to take 3 seed rounds over 3 years totaling $2M in capital to get to a pre-money valuation of $5M, that's really bad. Your investors might as well have invested in Google stock. In previous fundraising climates, that would've been a dead company, so still owning 25% after that is an improvement, at least insofar as owning a slow-growing small business is an improvement over being an employee.
How much Clojure was the team exposed to before the switch?
I mean, they exist in much less of a form. It's trusting 1 entity vs literally everybody, including people intent on being bad actors. You also have to have less trust because you're operating in a more or less known environment.

The network bandwidth will be a real problem regardless. Latency too. Single digit millisecond scale database roundtrips are awesome. 50-100ms would be just terrible. If that's a fundamental limitation then applications can only get worse, not really better.

Overall, what fundamental problem are these solving? If they aren't solving a real pain point with a worthwhile cost, uptake is going to be nonexistent.
That is not capitalism. Socialism could have athletic competitions and rigorous selection for public sector programs as well. That is not inconsistent with public ownership of resources.
Agreed. While I love the analog scales on old radios and the glowing light behind the dials, SDR is so fun, portable and cheap to play with. After wetting the toes with repurposed cheap TV dongles, I'd suggest to get a dongle from rtl-sdr.com (satisfied customer, no affiliation whasoever). I have two of their dongles and while they're priced almost in the same league of the TV ones ($20 dongle alone, or $25 with 2 antennas) the performance wrt sensitivity and noise floor is remarkably better.
Next purchase then will be a upconverter to get the interesting stuff aired in the HF bands. There are ways to convert dongles into direct sampling receivers for these bands; I can't report on their workings as I never tried them but without any filtering on the input I believe the performance won't be that good, at least compared to a full blown converter with filtering at the front end stage.
Small and medium sized business cannot have a separate budget. Esp when the marketing is the cost center, most of the time cannot have a developer full time assisting them.
The proliferation of mobile devices that record videos and pictures has IMO made up for it with sheer documentation volume from people on the spot. The Syrian civil war is far more thoroughly documented than the first Gulf War even though the first Gulf War took place in an environment where Western news-gathering organizations were in a much better financial state. You can see combat recorded from the the Syrian Arab Army, the foreign military powers intervening in the war, and the rebel factions. Not just combatants, either; the aftermath of attacks on civilians gets recorded/uploaded as well. They're all uploading stuff for the world to watch.

The vast majority of this footage is admittedly uploaded in service of one agenda or another, but that's just a lateral move from the status quo ante of the 1991/2003 Iraq invasions. The critical Western press coverage of war in the Vietnam era did not seem to endure. (And that was itself a bit unusual; American press coverage of WW II and Korea was by-and-large aligned with the aims of the American government in those wars.)

These development environments just were IDEs written in Lisp, otherwise they most don't have to do much with those Lisp Machine IDEs.

Most Common Lisp IDEs had a collection of these tools: Editor, Listener, Inspector, Debugger, Stepper, Preferences, ... Additionally there were various browsers, an interface builder, profiler, ...

The Lisp Machine IDEs had most of these tools, too. But they weren't only styled for development, but also for general use. Thus a Lisp Listener was not only a REPL, but also a general command line interface to interact with the machine. They were also more oriented towards group work and had additional features like versioned file systems, software versioning systems, databases, support for multiple programming languages (like C, Pascal, Ada, Fortran, Prolog, ...), source repositories, ...

Over the years (80s onwards) a multitude of these IDEs on Workstations and PCs were developed. CMUCL comes with one for X11 (debugger, editor, ...), Macintosh Common Lisp, ExperLisp, Procyon Common Lisp had one for Macs and Windows, Golden Common Lisp had one for Windows, Corman Lisp for Windows, SPE from SUN, Lucid CL had one (called XLT, their editor was called Helix), Star Sapphire Common LISP had one, Clozure CL has one for macOS (which one can run on a current Mac), ...

Then there were always IDEs based on GNU Emacs or XEmacs. Ilisp was once popular, Allegro CL has ELI, SLIME currently is the most popular with Sly as a fork. This is not so bad, since there are decent versions of GNU Emacs for Windows, Unix/GTk+ and macOS.

Of the commercial ones only Allegro CL (IDE for Windows and Unix/GTk+) and LispWorks (IDE Windows, Unix/Gtk+, deprecated for Unix/Motif, macOS) survived with regular releases.

Of the non-commercial ones SLIME/GNU Emacs is the most popular and it is also used by some users of Allegro CL and LispWorks. McCLIM lingers in the background with a collection of tools which would make an IDE, but it lacks one or more better GUI backends.

There are also a bunch of other ways to use Common Lisp with other editors (vim, atom, ...).

Now 'darkmatter' is another one. Let's see what people think from using it...

> Clojure is better because of better functional programming features than CL

CL now has [shameless plug] an excellent functional collections library, FSet [0]. Using FSet greatly expands the range of algorithms that can easily be written in a functional style. It's been a while since I looked at Clojure, but my impression is that FSet has a substantially richer API, including a bag (multiset) type and many more operations.

I don't know exactly which Clojure features you have in mind, but I suspect that FSet makes CL at least as good for functional programming as Clojure.

Surely then as a canny banker you offer to give them the money for the entertainments system secured against whatever assets they have, like the aircraft (if there are no liens or whatever on them). Indeed isn't that classic banking, if you know they're likely to default on the loan you offer it anyway but with security against anything they've got that you want transferring all the risk as a means for asset acquisition?

>a person who can't get a $5,000 unsecured personal loan at a bank //

Of course but they can have any loan they like secured against their house or [expensive] car up to half it's outstanding sale value ... though I think they are now being regulated on this sort of thing, which was the root of the whole sub-prime deal-e-o I think.
To clarify, your point is about the nature of competition. Capitalism is but one type of competition. Hiring for astronauts is certainly a competition for resources, but since it is not a flow of transformable resources among a network of profit seeking nodes, it ain't a market.

Unfortunately for the US, proposed revisions to immigration policy may be sending more of that brain drain back.

>so why are you blaming the US specifically and not any of the disparate partisan groups that directly built ISIS?

Perhaps because there are more US government supporters than ISIS supporters browsing this website?

Spot on. Perhaps I should have clarified that it's a metaphor in the original post.
This article covers the topic in more detail, but the general gist is that the film speed was controlled by the projectionist not the camera man recording the film, which was a set speed and powered by hand:

http://gizmodo.com/why-frame-rate-matters-1675153198
Nah, the 24 frames is the lowest frame rate before we sense the individual images. Leads to less film usage.

Note btw that we need 60 frames to get lifelike.

And gamers often want higher because the input sampling of a game is hooked up to the frame rate, so the higher the rate the more responsive the controls are...

That's after accounting for the recent increases in student intake. All but the oldest seven have started in the last decade, and the older seven have also increased their intake by 50-100% in the meanwhile. So, as of a decade ago, the IITs would have been graduating ~2000 undergrads per year, all seven institutions combined. (The counting is a little complicated, but I expect that number to be less than ~3000 nonetheless)

That's the relevant number, since those who've founded unicorns can probably be assumed to have started their undergraduate education at least a decade ago. (4-5 years in college and then at least a few years working).
Note that the style guide contains recommendations specific to Google's situation (they note this in the guide). For example they recommend against exceptions because by the time the style guide was written they already had an installed base. Had they started over they would use them.

Having recently started a project from "empty buffer" state we elected to go with C++17 (supported now in both GCC and clang although with some library features still missing). It's worked out well for us, but in my case I approached it as a brand new language rather than an evolution of old C++ (which I'd started in the cfront days and dropped around 2000). In that light it became and expressive and powerful systems programming language that is fun to use.
Actually there are many reasons not to sell. If someone is offering billions and you think it's worth millions, then either you're right and the buyer is wrong, or the buyer is right and you're wrong. Or the buyer wants to make a risky play on the business you don't think is right. Maybe the buyer is offering illiquid stock or something. In any case, if you enjoy the business you have, and feel it is making enough money, then why would you sell it? It's risky to sell, it could be a mistake for various reasons, seen and unforseen. You're putting your baby in someone else's hands and you will have to find a new job. So that's a big change already.

There are many reasons you would want to sell too, of course. Just saying it's not clear cut just because of valuations.

Wat?

It was concluded that the Sandy Hook shooter was a pedo that liked to shoot children.

The Colombine High School shooters were trying to kill the most people possible (but were shitty at making bombs).

The Colorado Theater (Batman) shooter said killing someone took their value and gave it to his life.

The Oklahoma City bomber said it was a counter attack against the Feds for Waco.

Dennis Nilsen killed 15 boys and slept next to their bodies because he felt lonely.

Son of Sam was a Satan follower listening to a demon that spoke to him through his neighbor's dog.

The Green River Killer murdered 48 women and girls, dumped them in the woods and then returned to f*ck the bodies. His motivation was to kill as many women as he could.

Not sure how knowing any of that stops the next one.
FWIW, I absolutely believe that a human would make those kinds of typos while typing... I myself didn't realize "flair for criticism" was spelled like that (and the top hit searching on Google for that, without quotes, is actually a book title using the other spelling, though it may very well have been a purposeful pun...). It would be one thing if those weren't themselves "correctly spelled words" (and so a text editor might catch it), but both "flare" and "fare" could easily slip by unnoticed. I will often even make much more interesting typos, where the word just "sounds sort of like the other word but no one would ever confuse the two", as I tend to speak to myself in my head as I type (and as I read) and I swear all language in my brain is at some point represented as audio... I'm not coming up with any examples right now, but trust me that when they come up they are incredibly strange.

Can you explain what you mean by comparing universal and existential quantification to dynamic languages? Existential quantification is often used in statically typed languages and can be valuable in some cases (no pun intended). In Rust, for instance, you can say
fn f() -> impl Fn(u8) -> u8
or something similar. This is existential quantification, because you're saying that f returns a type that is some Fn(u8) -> u8. This can expressiveness can be powerful in a type system. I don't see how it relates to dynamic languages.

The safety to fail is definitely part of it. Whenever I hear someone talk about how they succeeded by 'simply' failing over and over again until they hit it big, I'm reminded of the "Swamp Castle" Monty Python skit: "But the fourth one stayed up!"

I second that recommendation for Daniel Yergin's pulitzer prize winning book "The Prize". Oil as an energy source changed mankind. In addition to the history of oil in the US, it gave insight into the rising importance of oil during WWII (Hilter diverting his troops to capture the Baku oil field instead of focusing on Stalingrad), the post-war division of the world oil fields between the British and Americans (U.S. took Saudi Arabia (aramco), the Brits took Iran and Kuwait (anglo-persion and kuwait oil).
> the math … came from a mathematician using his intuition and understanding of physics to explore possible ideas that might be true with most of the possible maths not leading to possible physics.

This is famously not true for the matrix mechanics in Heisenberg's picture of quantum mechanics and the Riemannian geometry underlying relativity, both of which were created without (so far as I, and history, know) any intended or perceived connection to physics.

On the other hand, I guess you could argue that that math was irrelevant to physics until Heisenberg and Einstein came along and found it an appropriate expression of their physical intuition.

OP here.

Do you have a citation? The post is mostly to address this constant claims that 40 hours is proven by science and no convincing citations are provided.

I am also writing in the context of self-managing knowledge workers who can manage their own time. I explicitly write that the flexibility we have may mitigate many of the downsides observed in mandated long hours. For example, I do work >40 hours, but I rarely have to wake up with an alarm clock. I can follow the occasional 16 hour day with a 10 hour sleep cycle and stroll into work at lunch time the next day feeling pretty relaxed.
