> and I don't think it is all that risky, as long as you keep control of all three addresses.

By "doing it by hand" I meant the following:

- Original wallet A holds BTC before hard fork
- Chain splits and forks coexist (lets call them C1 and C2)
- New wallet W1 is created for use in the new chain C1 exclusively
- New wallet W2 is created for use in the new chain C2 exclusively
- You connect to network that uses C1, and move all the funds from A to W1
- You connect to network that uses C2, and move all the funds from A to W2

The problem is in such a scenario you can expect that malicious software will exist that monitors transactions being broadcasted in C1 to try to replay them in C2. By the time you attempt to perform the last step outlined above, you might find that the funds are gone from A in C2 because some replayed your transaction on C2 already.

No, they are made up but quite possible. The idealized free market the capitalist model of property rights is supposed to deliver is, OTOH, an impossibility (or, at any rate, an unstable condition unlikely to ever be achieved which would decay immediately if it was.)

Well, defending the company might entail getting acquired by another large company or NPA. I don't know of any examples where a small company sued a large one and continued to do business based on that lawsuit, but the threat of getting acquired certainly adds value to the company itself and discourages large companies from blatant copying.

Take that threat away, and small companies lose value and large companies copy without regret.
I also think that, even if all the information is efficiently baked into price, price isn't the predictor - the information doing the baking is. If you use the "predictant" as the predictor, you won't get very good results.

Not to say that people don't, but as mentioned, they don't last. How long they do last is an even more difficult prediction problem.

I am in my 11th year as a fulltime freelancer. It is nice ride, interestingly I haven't had problem with things all wannabe freelancers expecting: all of my invoices get paid (with 99,9% of them on time), I was always able to cover my monthly costs with money coming from last month billing and I always found good clients.

During last decade I was able to do all the stereotypical things people imagine to do when they don't have to go to the office: waking late, spending year wasting time in SE Asia, traveling around the world, working from coffee shops, coworking places and even in my bed, I also started a startup (or five), had numerous side projects and whatnot.

So far so good, that digital nomad-remote freelancing thingy actually exists and it is actually quite easy to get into this lifestyle. The dark side of freelancing is that you usually get into quite boring and not that interesting kind of work: writing CRUD apps, maintaining old software and basically doing stuff that don't require a tons of deep expertise and continuous effort of highly skilled team of people.

For some people it doesn't matter, but if you ever want to work on some high tech stuff be worry, it is very hard to get back into game after years of freelancing, you might be destined to sling some basic apps for the rest of your life (which is actually what majority of devs do in their jobs anyway).

Yes I meant that.

I find very interesting how some trade algorithms are using deep learning to extract features form news apart from the variables you mentioned.

About the search, in case you are interested. You have the basic tree search, then you have A* (a-start) which uses an heuristic to decide which is the next node to expand (very used in path finding in games, where the heuristic is the euclidean distance to the target point). For games you use a search where in one state you maximize the heuristic (your move) and in the next one you minimize it (your opponent move) (sorry I don't remember the name). And monte carlo tree search what it does is to no evaluate some states, it just do some random moves and evaluates the final state, this way it tries to improve the exploration/exploitation of the search (and works pretty well).
Funny you mention that, because I'm currently working on a GitHub repo as a research aid for myself. It's a compendium of all major cryptographic primitives and constructions (protocols) and the current state of the art in cryptanalysis against them, sorted by type (i.e. symmetric:block cipher:AES).

On the one hand it's rather straightforward because much of the state of the art in crypto research is in eprint or open access. On the other hand there isn't really a sane "landscape document" that elucidates all of this information in one place because it's so scattered and hard to organize.

Specifically: imagine a straightforward document with a handy table of contents that e.g. explains what a given cryptographic primitive is at a high level and what the current state of the art in attacking it is, like so: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2#Cryptanalysis_and_valida...

I don't know how useful this would be to someone not working on cryptography research because it's heavily descriptive and academic (unlike, say, Cryptographic Right Answers, which is a good prescriptive document for developers).
I believe the process for deriving fundamental physical models differs from the techniques used in ML. For example, say we want to use the principle of least action to derive an expression for energy similar to what Landau and Lifshitz derive in their book Mechanics. Here, we assume that the motion of a particle is defined by its position and velocity. We assume that the motion of the particle is defined by an optimization principle. We assume Galilean invariance. We assume that space and time are homogeneous is isotropic. Then, putting this all together we can derive an expression for energy that `E=0.5 m v^2`. At this point, we can validate our model with a series of experiments that curve fits this expression to the results.

Alternatively, we could just run a bunch of experiments on data using ML models. Eventually, someone may have a wonderful idea and realize that we can just reduce the ML model into a parabola. Of course, this is due to intuition and not the ML model. Nevertheless, even though we end up at the same result, I contend the first result is different. It has a huge amount of information embedded into it about the assumptions we made into how the world works. When those assumptions are no longer satisfied, we have a rubric for constructing a fix. For example, if Galilean invariance no longer holds, we can fix the above model using the same sort of derivations to obtain relativistic expressions. Again, we could just throw more data at this new problem and fit an ML model to and perhaps someone would stare at this new model and realize that `E = m c^2`. However, I think that's discounting the embedded information in deriving these models and I don't think this information is present in ML models. ML models are generic. Our most powerful physical models are not.

Now, sure, once we have the models, we're just going to fit them to the data and it's all just curve fitting. Other fields call this parameter estimation, parameter identification, or a variety of other names. At that point it's all curve fitting. However, again, I contend the process for determining a new model is not.

Thanks for making the case for this. We don't disagree.
The desire is irrational because it doesn't respond to reason. If you try to drill down to real specifics with these people, then eventually you have to give up because there aren't any. They're fixated on not having anything that looks or feels like a job. They can't be convinced that less drastic measures are necessary. They won't engage with their problems logically.

You mention control, they want control of their fortunes. That might be true if not for the fact that they don't actually want to learn anything 'salesy'.

Their decision-making process is completely oriented around not having a job, not around making money. Because if they really wanted to make money under their own steam, then that would be their goal, and the intermediate steps would reflect that.

The closest I can get to these people's underlying thought mechanics is that they just don't want to subordinate any time at all to anyone else. They want complete 100% control over all of their time. Which would be really nice, but c'mon now.

Ask HN: How do you organize your knowledge?
I'm starting a blog that is going to focus on one of my biggest hobbies: organizing my information.

I believe that the better I can organize what I know and what I'm still figuring out that I'll be able to create better, more creative ideas and that I can stand on the shoulders of my previous self along with all the other information out there I find.

I want to know: What do you do to manage the knowledge and ideas you create/find/discover? How do you like to organize it? How do you use it to help your self understand topics better or create connections between different subjects? Are there any tools out there you recommend?

Some tools I'm aware of (and that I'd still love to hear about how you use): OrgMode, ZimWiki, MediaWiki, DEVONthink, Markdown + Sync service (e.g. Dropbox or iCloud), nvAlt, Workflowy, Dynalist.io, Evernote, OneNote, and Standard Note
Haha. We partially signed up to broaden our culinary literacy. My Wife doesn't cook and when I cool it's typically something very simple. Blue Apron has helped give both my Wife and I more confidence to try new things.
First of all, jobs are irrational. Wanting to quit one is wanting to be freed from the shackles of wage slavery.

Second, the fact that you justified what you were doing for yourself doesn't make you right. It means you convinced yourself you were right. Being "intentional" about your job is irrelevant to whether it is a good idea or not.

Third, a lot of people don't want to buy into a system which, if they follow its procedures and restrictions exactly, might allow them their dream life (it often does not). A lot of people would rather live right now the way they choose to, because they prefer the experience of living on their own terms instead of simply dreaming of a similar life in the future.
In the world of iot devices, cell phones, and banking apps sorely needs formally verified code. It's kind of anti-agile but engineering still needs to happen in the backend of everything. Sadly, market pressures means shipping these shitty codes the moment it boots.

I'm not so sure Silicon Valley has been sidelined as much as this administration simply doesn't deem them as all that important.

This will certainly be interesting to watch.

I've had a very similar experience. While I do agree that you end up with a lot of boring work, it really isn't tough to keep skills sharp either. It's probably worth setting time a specific amount of time for this very purpose. Establishing a 20% time concept is much easier when you are in control of your own hours.

I've found that as a freelancer while I haven't been working on cutting edge tech as much my social, project management, and business skills have all improved by leaps and bounds. This may be even more important than being familiar with the cutting edge js frameworks or slinging around some deep neural network models.

Fundamentally this is related to the induction fallacy. The doge meme image actually illustrates it pretty well.

Another closely related thing is the No Free Lunch Theorem.

These are concepts I believe are very important to internalize if you work with machine learning. Fundamentally we are making predictions (ie. guessing) on the nature of entirely unknown information.

While that is a lot of debt, it is nowhere the same as saying you have $500k of debt on credit cards. Credit cards are unsecured debt; it's debt with little or nothing behind it.

Mortgage debt, though, is a secured debt. In theory, you could sell the houses, maybe for more than you paid for them, and possibly or likely more than you owe on them (that is, you gain the equity). Of course, you could also be upside down, but you still have the property, and you could just sit on it, rent it out, and continue to make payments on it from rent (or whatever) until the market comes back.
