I'm not saying the job isn't hard. I'm just saying that some people do it better (or have better hardware) - and having a choice, publishers choose the best option they can get.
> ... why not eliminate it, if it's bad?

Did I say that the minimum wage was bad?

I view the minimum wage as something with both advantages and disadvantages. Depending on its level, different workers and businesses are helped or hurt.

If $15 is helpful, then $20 must be more helpful, except to the workers whose hours are cut back, etc. At each point along the scale some workers are helped but others are hurt.

If everyone who supports the minimum wage thinks that, beyond a certain level, it is no longer "helpful", what is the official, universally accepted definition of "helpful"?

How many workers can lose their jobs vs how many experience an improved standard of living?

It depends on what you mean by survival, also classifying them as 'algorithms' is incredibly lazy thinking, doing that confuses the basic issue because you start to attribute properties of algorithms to emotions etc.

A good read on it is 'Why we cooperate' https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/why-we-cooperate by Tomasello, he comes at it from an anthropological perspective, a quick example is 'guilt', guilt is an emotion that allows other members of our tribe to see that we're sorry and to forgive us, if the tribe doesn't forgive then you're exiled and die. So your survival in that context is dependent on emotional responses etc, but reproduction certainly isn't dependent on emotions.

Uh, actually, that's what I tell the internet about myself, for the most part.

It doesn't really impress me when I approach the internet and introduce myself by name. Of course the internet is going to remember me, if I permit my cookies and request parameters and IP address linger.

Much more interesting is when the internet makes my identity without my having volunteered anything.

Oh well.
It seems to be a bit of an internet meme, but as another poster noted, the original logic seems to have been lost, and it's now simply cool to quote the meme.

You say plenty of Google services have been killed - and you cite 3. But only 1 of those has actually been killed.

Google Reader was shutdown - this is somewhat personal, as I was a bit lover of Google Reader as well. However, there was 12 months of notice for the deprecation, there were provisions for migration/exporting all your data - and there were reasons mentioned at the time for why it was deprecated. Basically, the writing was on the wall for RSS for a long time before that.

Hangouts wasn't discontinued...in fact, I use it as my main chat application currently (both in my personal life, and at work).

GTalk is basically Hangouts, with with improvements - same contacts, same chat history, same platform. Everybody was basically just migrated across wholesale, and got some nice new features to boot (e.g. group video calls).

The state of the art for theoretical blockchains is that, to maintain security, you need every single node to process every single transaction.

This resonates with me a lot.

My father is an old school car mechanic in eastern europe who (at least while i was young) hoarded all kinds of things and reused/repurposed them. I inherited his mentality. At some point he partnered up with a guy and they started their own business. His partner is more of a capitalist. He would run the computer diagnostics on the car, replace whatever the computer says is broken without much root cause analysis, then the old parts are thrown out. This gets repeated until the car runs. They make money on each part. The insurance company pays and everyone is happy. My dad's quality of life is better. He has a weekend house now. He sometimes complains how in the old days one would really fix things instead of replacing them, but he is getting older and not in a position change how the world works.

My own story is playing out a very similar way and I am constantly struggling to decide what is the right thing to do and what kind of person I want to be. Most people of my age (especially in the US) don't even think about these things though.

Accurately translated in English as "hack".
The word "need" in this comment seems a bit exaggerated. Yes, we'd want to have some proof and verification, but that is not an inescapable requirement.

I'm fairly sure that we as a society in general are willing to launch systems where we have only a reasonable expectation and trust that it will most likely work properly instead of total proof and verification that it definitely will do so. Just take a look at pretty much any life-critical system in use today; some verification and testing is required, but formal proof of correctness is a very high bar that's never required for practical systems. It's highly desirable, but it will only be an absolute requirement if it's reasonably easy to achieve.

I'm fairly sure that if it turns out that we can't provide guarantees and proof about what the machine might do, then we'll just do our best even if the result is not provable and verifiable and launch such systems anyway.

And I think that even if we have a choice between two systems where one is verified and proved that it never can do anything bad but is otherwise inferior in what it can do, and the second system has no such proof but seems safe in general testing and simply performs better than the first one.... then it's quite likely that we'll choose the second one anyway.
If you start with Mathematics, you'll end up in a loop: Mathematics > Quantity > Magnitude (mathematics) > Mathematics.

Ignoring this backlink, though, it would work:

Besides the welfare of the animals, this is also important to the food safety and health of society to have clear insight into how food is produced.
Sure, but why?

I mean, even without the "internal IDs" you're basically talking about creating a Pascal code generator and hooking it up to an early stage in the existing Håstad compiler. A first year CS student could do that as a course project. It's not that complicated.

But there are a few reasons we don't do that.

Like the Sean Conner article argues, the specific keyword symbols we use barely matter. Sure, you can come up with pathological cases with obviously bad choices of keywords, but all reasonable choices can be learned in a matter of minutes and then you're good. As long as a for loop behaves like a for loop it really doesn't matter if we write "for", "för", "meanwhile", or "සදහා". We'll learn to recognise the symbol, whatever its etymology.

Because of the above, when we "transpile" (which is apparently what the kids call compilation these days) we tend to want to do it to a language that is sufficiencly different (i.e.not a language whose only difference is that the keywords are made up of different symbols). And when you do that, you'll get code that uses idioms from one language but syntax from the other. And in your attempt to go from 100 people being able to read your code to 100,000 people, you accidentally went to 0 people.

"Art" obviously means different things to different people, but I know that in my case, and likely in the grandparent post's case, "good art" is a form of expression that effectively evokes emotion, feeling or idea, be they positive or negative.

We might respond positively to the efficacity and skill with which that feeling or emotion is conveyed, but still be disturbed by the message that it represents.
that would be great, but many employers would just use that as a reason to pay employees less, or not give them benefits.

From the title I was hoping to read more about a repair culture such as Bunny Huang discusses when he talks about the possibility of legacy electronics in his latest book The Hardware Hacker. Of course I have had computers repaired from time to time, and even put life back into an old stereo receiver and analog television, but generally in the developed world the economics of buy new vs repair keep repair culture on the fringe, not just with electronics.

> Here's a dollar that can only be spent on healthy food. Give these to your kids for doing their chores or whatever.

Are such restrictions meaningful though? One huge feature of these currencies/tokens is how easy it is to trade them; maybe your kids will trade their "healthy food dollar" for $0.75 of some unrestricted currency, hence "a dollar that can only be spent on healthy food" is actually "about $0.75, with an extra transaction step".
I built an online poker bot that was making around $500-$1000 per account. Maintenance was a bitch though (poker sites have a lot of bugs and my bot had to work around a lot of them) so I abandoned it and got a job instead.
A bit surprised not to see a reference to Henry Ford. I thought he was the father of the 40 hour work week? He did include in his thinking the idea that more leisure time would allow workers more time to enjoy his cars, but IIRC the basis of the change was not social, but productivity, and based on his own studies.

It doesn't require much to change that; just make it clear that people don't buy a product, but buy into a dream instead, and require your customers to inform would-be customers that they buy into a dream.

With such a change, sites like Kickstarter.com have people happily _pay_ to press that fake buy button.

Aside from requiring everyone to install a plugin to do OTR, the crypto behind Matrix's Olm (based on Signal's Axolotl) is much better suited to asynchronus communication than OTR (and MegaOlm actually supports group chats).

There are many more benefits to Matrix, but just making clear that Matrix's end-to-end crypto is better than just plain OTR.

I'm still not seeing the part where they actually fit together; it basically just looks like an accumulation of ad-hoc tools with no overarching concept. They look like they could be very useful tools, but there doesn't seem to be any architecture there.
That video reminds me of a comic I sketched out years ago. It's about this rag tag armed group of hackers who specialize in intelligence espionage in the near future. There's a payload specialist, security specialist, data structure specialist, etc. Much of the drama unfolds in VR space where the hackers can be seen frantically querying/manipulating data structures directly by hand whilst evading detection. It's supposed to be educational as well, explaining CS topics through stories. Think the movie hackers plus GitS, but with attention to accurate portrayal of CS knowledge. It's basically my vision of what the future could be like.
Indeed, the number seems disproportionate. But it can be possible depending on the definition of "medication".

I'd expect the number of mental health issues with an underlying [known] physiological nature (say, bipolar, schizophrenia), and thus mediated with the proper treatment to be _very_ low.

Mental health issues resulting from workspace, work, stress and in general lifestyle issues can still be medicated to help recovery, though the proper solution would obviously be a change in lifestyle.

I've witnessed many people with depression. I can only speak for relatives for which I know the full story. When faced with the issue, at least here, you have two choices. The psychologist will talk you into a lifestyle change whenever possible.

Going to a psychologist is still considered medication here, and it's covered by national health. When going to a psychiatrist instead, the medication (chemical) is almost always guaranteed.

It's helpful to say though that no amount of medication fixes mental health issues related to workplace issues if the underlying cause is not removed. This is a very dramatic issue, as for some people with limited working experience (and thus unable to have a leverage), it's often insurmountable. I known relatives in this situation for 20+ years.

MIT Researchers Offer Algorithm for Picking 'Winning' Startups
I think the real problem is presentialism – people would likely contribute more if they are provided with the flexibility of working according to their body rhythms. Each human peaks at different hours of the day. And being in the knowledge economy, it makes more sense to access these spikes of output by providing flexibility.

40 or 50 or 60 hours, i believe that if we could just eliminate the presentialism from our work life, build more trust with each other about being honest with our work – i think the whole research into how many hours we need to work will not even pop up. Everyone would be happy contributing their share of work in return for a paycheck.
And on the other hand there's the mindfulness counter culture which is picking up steam. Perhaps we need to see how we can lose ourselves to find ourselves?
I think its because he never sets out to be prescriptive, only descriptive, if that makes any sense.
Seeing so many presumably youngish and modern companies listed, I was struck by how many of them offered no remote work. Is remote work an idea whose time still hasn't come yet for many companies, or is it actually declining ? (Yahoo! was one of the companies listed, and they famously abolished remote work some years ago)

Let me tell you something I learnt myself about remote job positions:

- Competition for each position is fierce. Especially for the SF-type jobs where the salaries are so astronomical compared to your remote area (like Greece, India, Thailand, etc.). You may have some (or even a lot) of experience in some tech, but so would the other 50-500 applications for that position. This puts the ball in the court of the employer, because they use stupid filters like "the right fit" - which most of the time equates to finding the person they can extract the most value from per-dollar (or the 1 who kills their wannabe-Google interview process the best)

- As someone reading your blog post, even I did not make it past your full email text. It's just too long for HR to even bother. A shorter, concise, "get in your face" email sometimes works better

- HR filters are the worst way to get remote positions. You said you have friends working for remote-first companies like Github and Automattic - that should have been your first method of entry to go direct to the team itself and not need to get through HR first - if you're a great programmer and your friends know it, they will gladly recommend you
One that I have not seen mentioned yet: https://phys.org/.
TL;DR: you can get more done if you work 60 hours instead of 40 hours in a week, but the work done in that extra 20 hours might be a small fraction of what gets done in 20 hours during a 40 hour week.

This is self-evidently true for many jobs. E.g., if you pick apples for 40 hours, then even if you only pick one apple per hour after that, you will still pick more apples working 50 hours than 40.

We software developers, though, have an additional consideration: creating software bugs which can (easily) push the productivity of a given period of time into the negative, sometimes deeply.

In my apple-picker example above, this would be like the tired picker driving the loaded apple truck off a cliff, destroying all the apples picked in the first 59 hours of the 60 hour work week (along with the expensive truck).

That example is contrived and unconvincing for the apple picker case, though; nobody makes their tired apple pickers drive the apple trucks back via treacherous mountain roads after a hard day of work.

That's not the case for software development, however; looking at my own 20+ years of professional software development through the lens of an extremely rigorous scientific n=1 anecdatal analysis (which undoubtedly thrills the OP hehe), in my own career probably 75% of the negative productivity caused by bugs I've created was the direct result of code I wrote while trying to work more hours than I should.

I suspect this holds true for other programmers as well.
It's abstractions all the way down. There is no inherent concept, including atoms, photons, matter, or energy. It's just how an intellectual system can process what it experiences.
Ah, thanks for catching that. I've created an issue here: https://github.com/captbaritone/urlmeme/issues/13
Blockchain has a lot of distinct advantages when things need a very clear audit trail. Auditors love the fact that a block can't be modified without recalculating all subsequent blocks. Of course, in a blockchain controlled by a single private entity, the entity could redo all the blocks, but that's not really the main concern. The concern is to try to prevent rogue individuals from modifying the ledger without detection, and that is harder to do with blockchain than plain DB access controls.
You would think so, but I've been following this for 4 years and there are huge issues to resolve. There is a pre existing grid designed to distribute electricity generated from imported oil which is now woefully out of date.
There is huge home solar usage in Hawaii but the grid is incapable of redistributing surplus power created by owner panels.
Storage for redistribution at a reasonable cost is the big challenge there, and is being watched closely by other regions and places before they emulate...

From the Energy Dive article I linked to:

'At the end of 2016, about 26% of Hawaiian Electric’s customers’ electricity was sourced from renewables, Greentech Media notes. Customer owned solar power was the largest contributor at 34% of the renewables total, followed by wind, 29%, and biomass at 19%.

On the Big Island of Hawaii renewables accounted for 54% of customers’ needs and on Maui and Molokai it was 37%.'
That is my opinion as well. And indeed the post talks mainly about dynamic verification and achieving some "good enough" verification quality (as determined by coverage and other metrics).

And it is in that context that "soft" techniques like ML can help a lot, and thus the question of how to connect them to "hard" rules (which are also part of dynamic verification) becomes interesting.
Except your fellow humans. We're not all bad.
I believe the Apache license is what you want (so long as you trademark the branding).
I've hired for a few remote positions. The calibur of candidates, and number of applicants is higher than for a position in only one city. Also, typically you get people applying from much lower cost of living areas, so they can be happier with a lower salary.
