This is a pet peeve as a climber. The article lists "free climbing" as something that an insurer might refuse to cover. This is most likely incorrect, as the immediately preceding section suggests it would cost you an extra $1500 a year if you engage in rock climbing.

The bit that's incorrect here is that "free climbing" encompasses many forms of rock climbing. "Free" in the context of "free climbing" means that vertical progress is made solely by climbing the rock itself.

This is as compared to "aid climbing", wherein vertical progress may be made by affixing some form of gear to the rock, and climbing said gear, or something attached to it.

The article most likely means that if you free solo, you're uninsurable. Solo in this case meaning, without a partner to catch your falls.

E.T.A. Note also the existence of "aid soloing", and "rope soloing", both of which are done without a partner, but with varying degrees of gear in place to catch you should you fall.

Also note that absent the qualification of "soloing", rock climbing is generally understood among climbers to mean the kind that is done with a partner and a rope. Among climbers, bouldering is understood to include climbing routes of low height ("problems") without the protection of a rope, but generally with the protection of a crash pad (big foam thing to land on).
I've noticed a very scummy technique in newsletters that I've been signed up for lately. They are making the messages a certain length so that all the information they want to present is there but the legally required unsubscribe link is hidden behind gmail's automatic truncation of long emails.

The only times I have allowed myself to be underpaid in money is when I was getting experience that I hoped would pay off in a higher wage later.

A wage that will enable me to buy a house and my kids to go to college.

Loyalty is not a asset that a bank nor college accepts as payment.

Furthermore, a company is a paper entity, a legal fiction. A company is not a person. A company has no conscious, no dreams, no aspirations.

No human being should pledge loyalty to a piece of paper - which is not capable of returning that loyalty.

The processes involved here are much larger scale than the particulars of the California housing market (indeed, if you read my original you'll I already mentioned that California is just one blip in world-wide trend). California just happens to be a place which attracts money when money is being "manufacturer". Whether one has quantitative easing in particular or too-big-to-fail banks issuing bonds or simple bubble-dynamics, you have a process where money flows from productive assets to stores of value.

If someone wished to learn something about the current financial climate, I would refer that someone to Doug Noland's Credit Bubble Bulletin.

Really? I found their interview process to be downright creepy...
Both of these comments sound interesting, and make me want to go interview there and report back! :)
Come on, even if I accept that an apartment and child care is $6000/month in SF (its not, but it is pretty expensive), are you really arguing that $4000 a month "left over" (for non-rent, non-child related expenses) isn't doable? I've lived in the Bay Area for three-and-a-half decades and never made anywhere close to $4000 a month post-tax, much less $10000.

If you're serious, show your math.
Not sure your point is coming across. Okay, he's no Jobs or Gates, that's for sure.

But something tells me probably does something besides sit around and sip Daiquiris (or read HN) all day. "Networking", if you want to call it that. Or "investing" in ways that don't actually lose money takes actual work, you know.

That is: "work", nonetheless.
Lots of things are best learned by doing. I just noticed there are dozens of books about machine learning algorithms but none on how to gather data. Of course, both those things can be learned independently, but I think there's room for at least a few books about data gathering considering it's so important for good machine learning results.

If it is for executing some script on successful connection of any device to wifi (and thus an IP is assigned), with dhcpd, it can be achieved with the following config:

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
on commit {
set ip = binary-to-ascii (10, 8, ".", leased-address);
execute ("/usr/local/bin/on-device-connect", "commit", ip);
}
}

I have setup exactly this to automate stuff unlocking the door in my office (in the morning, whenever some one arrives and phone connects to wifi).

Its the operating systems libraries. They're in C.

I did a lot of ada programming (radar) and we had a fairly large library of wrappers to the C network/ ipc / process control that the operating system provided. It was a royal pain. So much so that at least a couple subsystems moved to C (mainly to use the math libraries......)

I would assume that most people are making an informed decision that eventual consistency is the most palatable compromise for their domain. I don't think people just look at the CAP theorem and think that eventual consistency is a magic bullet that gets around one of the necessary compromises, it literally is one of the proposed compromises.
You're probably thinking of this interview at startup school: https://youtu.be/MGsalg2f9js (7:40)
Exactly. The assumption is that would-be fraudsters would neatly obey other rules/norms, such as opening one account tied to one legitimate funding source.

Anyone who has run an online business that moves money can tell you that fraudsters are ever-probing for that weak spot and, if it is there, they will find it.

There is too much "generally" and "might" in their risk mitigation here, such that their primary line of defense really boils down to hope. Meanwhile, they've managed to create limitations that may well infringe on legitimate activity.

They really need to re-think this problem or they'll have their hats handed to them in short order.

I fully agree with you re. 'shake your hand' but I have to defend the line manager at large companies: too often, they have their hands tied with yearly performance evaluation processes and bonuses and will likely be unable to fetch the employee the necessary raise outside of working within aforesaid processes (i.e. getting the employee a promotion in a higher pay band, etc.), which takes time. I say this not to defend anyone but to try to present a more balanced picture.

In a smaller company, I would be worried about 'revealing my hand' to a potentially vengeful manager asking for a raise and I would rather just leave than try to get them to counter offer. That is, if I ask for a raise and s/he denies it, I would feel that I would probably be the first one to get cut when the time comes so I might as well leave. In a larger company, I might try to work with the manager on a 'career plan' assuming the manager in question is not toxic; the toxic ones will pretty much ensure that one gets a 'needs-improvement' type rating, which pretty much limits any movement for the unfortunate employee from that point on.
I see blog posts from redblobgames posted sometimes and I really like how in-depth the explanations are.

Put a lot simpler: Even DL is still only very complex, statistical pattern matching.

While pattern matching can be applied to model the process of cognition, DL cannot really model abstractive intelligence on its own (unless we phrase it as a pattern learning problem, viz. transfer learning, on a very specific abstraction task), and much less can it model consciousness.

I think many of the points you're making are in the article. Emotional regulation and the corresponding process models are staples of at least a few forms of therapy.

Ideally, we should all be able to regulate our reaction to our own emotions, but in practice some people aren't as good at it as others for various reasons.

Oh, I agree that neural networks are function approximators with respect to some geometry. When I say "counterfactuals", I'm talking about typical Bayes-net style counterfactuals, but as also used in cognitive psychology. We know that human minds evaluate counterfactual statements in order to test and infer causal structure. We thus know that neural networks are insufficient for "real" cognition.

> Or am I just expecting too much introspection from someone who hasn't examined their own motives and actions?

You're expecting logical consistency from the author, but the author is partly pointing out that our emotions and feelings do not always obey such a rigid framework.

The author is examining how they feel about the pig's death; that sometimes comes before, or is not in congruence with, their other motivations.

If you reflect on this a bit more, the normal course of a farmer (and to a greater degree, industrial meat production) is to view their animals as a product and to not regard them as feeling individuals, as that might rather get in the way of their work. But the farmer is slowly drawn into a situation where the pig is more than future meat, but a suffering fellow creature.
My main issue with freelancing is the quality of the most of the gigs. Sure, you can land a gig which would allow you to use your most favorite trendy JS framework, but in the end you’d likely end up building some variation of a CRUD app. It’s extremely hard to land a project which would allow you to work in cutting-edge technological problems.

An issue which I commonly see in these threads is the black-and-white antogonization of “working for the man” and being a “free man”. It’s almost like you are either a mindless 9-to-5 drone or you “escaped the system”, and working for yourself, even though you might be scraping bahts eating ramen in Chiang Mai.

> Nothing is risk-free, and the implied dichotomy is misleading

Ironic, since by using the term "risk free", you are the one implying a dichotomy: either something has risk or it doesn't.

It's technically true but that's unhelpful, since risk is not a binary value: it's a spectrum. Certain hobbies and jobs are demonstrably more risky than others.
That's more valuably left as an exercise for the reader.
Curiously I find myself disagreeing quite a bit with Larry.

> If a language is designed so that you can "learn as you go", then the expectation is that everyone is learning, and that's okay.

It's okay if we never reach understanding or agreement on what Faulkner intended by a particular sentence (we can still grasp most of the whole). For a programming language this is explicitly not okay! This goes for ambiguity as well.

> Multiple ways to say the same thing

> This one is more of an anthropological feature. People not only learn as they go, but come from different backgrounds, and will learn a different subset of the language first.

The Unsettled: Digital Nomads
I'm not sure why SegWit is put forward as a "scaling solution". It does make some room by moving signature data out of the main block, which may allow 2.5x as many transactions - but thats a one time improvement, afaict.

The real problem is simply that the blocksize is way too small. At peak daily loads we are trying to put 20MB of transactions into a single 1MB block. Of course the unprocessed transactions pool up in the 'mempool' waiting for the next block, and are eventually cleared later in the day in off-peak times.

The reason they don't just pool up indefinitely, and crash the server, is due to economics - people pay higher transaction fees to get their important transactions into the next block. Miners earn part of their income from those fees, so they put the best paying transactions into the block first.

Most people who might like to use Bitcoin to pay for actual things, will balk at paying 3$ to send 500$, which means less people use the system, or they only use it for important big trades - thus, an equilibrium is set up where transaction volume is kept low.

Keep in mind bitcoin blocks occur on average every 10 minutes. A global rate of 3 trans/sec is clearly not a large number for a system used by millions, all across the globe.

Litecoin has the same architecture, but doesn't have this bottleneck problem - they have 3/4 the blocksize, process 4x as frequently and handle less that 1/10th the volume of transactions. So there is no mempool, fees are low etc.

The max blocksize is set to 1MB in code [ think #define or static const ], so increasing it means releasing new software - old versions will not be able to process large blocks, so this means a "hard fork".

I would argue that a blocksize increase is urgently needed and justifies a prudent hardfork - because it is currently preventing Bitcoin from growing. Not only do we need a 2MB block yesterday [ some say 8MB ], but we need a clear block size upgrade schedule for the next few years so Bitcoin can handle steady growth, without the need for many future hardforks.

Blocksize increase over the next few years could yield a 20x to 200x increase in throughput using the current architecture ... this releases the stranglehold on transaction flow and user growth, and buys time to build out all the other nice new technologies that can augment, or scale beyond, the linear architecture of the blockchain.

This issue has been delayed and debated for 2.5 years, so now it really is urgent and people on both sides are pretty angry. Sadly, its metastasized into an ugly political civil war .. but I think at heart it is a fairly normal engineering issue that could have been resolved routinely. Maybe having a ton of cash riding on your code makes easy choices hard.

I'll add one tiny point to your very well documented answer: another skill you learn for cave diving is to control your kick to avoid raising stilt.

This is particularly relevant since the stilt obscuring the cave is precisely what led to the incident described in this article. It's not clear it happened because the divers were careless or despite them, but I thought it would be worth pointing out to non divers that one of the many things you learn while studying for cave diving is how to occupy a lot less space while swimming than you're used to.
