I'd say most people would be. If you don't take responsibility and if you're not challenged, you can hardly expect to excel at anything.

Many people either are too comfortable with their lives or are in too precarious a situation to ever get to try.

That's probably also why we so rarely hear about rich kids with large trust funds accomplishing anything meaningful.
I don't see anything travelers won back. The letter is saying CBP policy doesn't allow these things, when obviously agents have been doing them. It may be against policy, but unless you reprimand or fire people over it your policy is useless.

The letter is just ass covering and the title is terribly misleading.

That's fine, but I wonder if that carries over to most people. There have been plenty of studies that suggest perceivable slowness has a large effect on user engagement. Amazon famously did a study on their website that showed 100ms of latency cost them 1% of sales.
> So, on the other side, anyone want to build a true 'terminal emulator' that has baud-speed emulation?

So this isn't exactly the same, but I improved my Vim muscle memory considerably by running the MS-DOS version of Vim inside of DOSBox, reducing its speed of emulation to the lowest option, and finding the most efficient ways to edit files at a decent pace by making use of the best command sequences possible at any given point in time.

How to check for keyloggers in your Computer
As a web developer, I'm actually quite fine with this. Considering your family members probably fall under the "potential IE users" category.
I mean, yeah if it's a personal thing about your life, the word journal might work. But blog means a lot more than that. Businesses use blogs to highlight products and upcoming events. Journalists use blogs to publish their stories. Bruce Schneier and Brian Krebs use a blog to publish research and articles they've written. 37Signals uses a blog to advertise their particular way of doing business.

"Blog" is not short for "journal on the Internet", it's short for "web log" and means something far broader than "diary" that you seem to associate it with. It's not just a log/journal on the web, it's a newsletter, a flier, a classified ad, a newspaper, a document repository, a knowledge base, an event calendar, and a ton more use cases. It's all of those rolled into one. And since "journal/newsletter/advertisement/diary/repository online" is too long, we just shorten it to one four letter word: blog.

The weirdest thing to me is when people say they hate specific words when no other commonly-used word exists to describe the same thing. You can't hate a word. It's the most fundamental concept of communication, that we all agree what various scribbles and noises actually mean. "Journal" has a meaning. So does "blog". They don't always overlap.
I think they're just using their internal entropy generator. They use the lava lamps as part of that, and the internal generator for all sorts of stuff.

I am not an expert but I think the split will ruin the magic. And if the first split occurs then why not a second one in 2-3 years? I see the split happening as a massive chance for quick cash for the big players( even though I can't prove it with fact, just my guts saying).

> Resources are not limited. It is plentiful, except that society sees the resource of human labor and love as only valuable when it is profitable.

You're right! Resources are unquestionably plentiful! However, it's possible that plentiful might be slightly different from unlimited. If I wanted a billion PhD-educated engineers to colonize Mars tomorrow, I might run into limits, no?

It is just a matter of perception. By thinking about how to best utilize plentiful-but-limited resources, considering the value and independence of all humans, we think about how best to create a system in which all these wonderful and infinitely valuable humans self-organize for what's best for them. That way we can gravitate towards happiness and wellness!

I'd glad we agree on the value of humanity. I see human labor, human love, and human affection as valuable at all times and places. I also see that humans are plentiful-but-limited, time is plentiful-but-limited, and resources are plentiful-but-limited.

> Of course nobody would be happy! :)

Yeah. That's because it's obviously a bad way to distribute plentiful-but-limited resources like human labor and human love and human-run biochemical production facilities to make the greatest number of people as happy and well as possible.
Did anyone ever question your academic background/track record. Did anyone deny you funding and/or not work for you upon inquiring about your track record?

In absolute honesty, do you think achieving good grades makes sizable a difference to people wanting to work for you or investing in your company?
It's always nagged me that statistical problems are scoped so small. Surely in saying there's 6 outcomes on a dice you'd obfuscated the billions of interactions between atoms and input possibilities in doing so. Thrower A and thrower B will undoubtedly throw slightly different which might actually constraint the outcomes and skew the 1 in 6 percentages?

It's similar to me to condensing 30 characters to 5 via an algorithm. You can go one direction but not the other and if your model was centered around the resulting 5 it doesn't really reflect what's actually happening which may skew the probabilities quite a bit. e.g. if the algorithm was "if first letter is not q, then first letter in output is q". If you were saying each has an equal percentage of occurring it'd be flat out wrong.

> You're overselling the complexity here. Yes: mating analog specifications to line drivers/receivers requires per-process design. And at the very top end of achievable technology (USB 3.1, PCIe 4, DDR4...) these designs are likely to be NDA-level IP you have to get from the fab or its partners. But come on, "slew rate" matching is a matter of looking up some capacitance and I/D curves and plugging them into a SPICE model. Literally everyone does this in school.

The spice model is closed and behind NDA. Seriously, can you point me to spice models of even ancient process nodes that are still manufactured? Let's say TSMC 0.13umG just to pick one out of the blue.

> But that's not remotely where we are with RISC-V designs in the market, where we'd be very happy to get a LPDDR2 controller and a USB Hi-Speed link with an open interface that doesn't require junky proprietary drivers or crazy workarounds for undocumented hardware bugs.

1. I care more about my ability to access the internet than any startup's ability to do business.

2. If NN is thrown out, and pay to play becomes the name of the game, who do you think is going to be able to pay? Google, Amazon, Netflix, etc, or some unnamed startup?
No, they really are not. "Economic incentives" only come into play when there are choices. Most people do not have any kind of choice in their ISP, thus the "Economic incentives" argument carries no water.
No, when you cross the border you are at very high risk of having your electronic devices searched. It has happened to me crossing into Canada. If I got a call from the police saying that next Tuesday they would be executing a search warrant on my house, you can be sure I'd wipe everything clean just on the off chance someone planted something illegal without my knowledge.
THIS. It is very clear that if there is a "MASSIVE wave of anything", it is from the other side i.e. companies like Netflix, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter etc. They have made it an "internet freedom" issue when internet freedom is not a problem at all.

If there is a threat on internet freedom, it's already there and it's Google, Facebook, Twitter etc. who can pick and choose what a user can see on the internet. In fact, they are much bigger threat in that they can filter out websites based on their contents, and make certain things impossible to search for or go viral... while ISPs, at best, can block individual IPs.
I don't think you've really understood, because your contradictory response supports mine: Even when fictitious play is a good approximation for a real system (and they aren't because firms do not adopt static strategies), strategies do not always converge, which means iterative play does not necessarily lead you to terminal equilibrium states.

But maybe we can salvage equilibria as a functional tool. Can these systems arrive at 'almost equilibrium states?" Knowing this would still give us some predictive oomph. This article states that even approximations might be out of reach, but there are ways to speed the development of the metagame along.

On your other point, you've missed half of the article's content. It isn't saying "if you don't know the utility functions of the players it's hard to make computational inferences". It is saying that the amount of information required to obtain the utility function of the players for even trivial games is well beyond the scope of most systems we have, and accordingly the assumption that even approximate equilibrium will be reached requires a good independent rationale. This is a MUCH larger issue than the base computability of the problem and jumps into the epistemology of economics and policy.

This is expanded upon because those assumptions regarding reaching equilibrium are often used in justifying financial, policy and other decisions where billions of dollars are at stake. See the Cournot and Bertrand competition models and their successors for a view into how that faulty assumption can lead you to terrible policy decisions.
They argue they're privacy minded and then remove control from the user.

Everyone who doesn't care about control is just going to use chrome, edge or IE so going after that market is probably not a good use of resources.

I don't quite get the whole performance thing, chrome eats memory constantly and trashes the machine which is something firefox doesn't do. It's single threaded though so shitty pages will hang it.

I'd argue that if you're thinking in these terms, you're probably not the startup type.

There was an interesting RibbonFarm essay on "guardian" vs. "commerce" syndrome that really crystallized this for me:

https://www.ribbonfarm.com/2014/06/04/saints-and-traders-the...

Entrepreneurs are the ultimate in "commerce" types, but beyond that, his key point was about bulletpoint #2, "exert prowess" vs. "compete". For most people, the point of effort is to get a reward; you are doing things now so that you can be the person you want to be at the end. You do your homework so you can graduate from a good college; you get a job so you can make money and live a good life; you get your MBA so you can get a promotion.

For a small minority of people, this is reversed. Who you want to be is just a guidepost for what you should be doing. It's the doing that's the important part. The RibbonFarm article describes this as the finite vs. the infinite game; guardian types do things for the victory at the end, while commerce types set the victory conditions so they have a motive to keep doing things. So you went to school because the material was interesting, and graduation was a little side-note along the way. Or you program computers because that's what you want to do, and the salary just determines who you should program computers for.

It's these folks who make the best entrepreneurs, simply because if you're playing to win, there are ways to win with less effort.

This, BTW, is why so many entrepreneurs go on to found repeat companies, and why a few are (frankly) dicks after they've gotten rich. A lot of folks can't imagine founding a company after you already have F-U money; why put yourself through all those challenges if you don't have to? But for many entrepreneurs, the challenges are the point, the competition is the point, and they don't stop competing just because they've gotten rich. Sometimes this is expressed in healthy ways, like YCombinator after ViaWeb, Medium after Twitter after Blogger, git after Linux, Stripe after Auctomatic, etc. And sometimes it's expressed in unhealthy ways, like Khosla's feud with San Mateo county over his beachfront property. But the point is that these people aren't founding companies because they need money or success, it's because they love the thrill of competition.

In the 1960s, the biostatistician Marvin Zelen proposed using something very much like the Pólya urn for clinical trials, calling it the "play the winner" rule [1]. This has had a major effect in causing a rethinking of the traditional randomized controlled trial, and these ideas are still making their way through the medical community today [2].

I don't. If they don't exist or aren't really good (fast, well documented, good APIs, bindings available for various languages) then I think that's something that needs to be pitched to hand waive. Maybe the Free Software Foundation has ideas, or the Document Foundation, and then also various governments.

That so many governments use, and insist their citizens use PDFs, it's really not OK for us to have to depend on proprietary closed source software. I have zero problem with making a profit on great tools and infrastructure and services, but the foundation needs to be owned by the public.
I didn't expect this to get so many points. I'll add a bit more substance:

The ability to base your own work off of others' is one of the most important features of github. It is probably also a feature that probably wouldn't necessarily be understood by somebody not in technology or not familiar with how git works.

If this was my product, I would have named it it "Fork". Putting that feature front and center and making it really obvious that it is the stand out feature of the app, IMO, would help people to get right away why what you've built is so awesome. Even if they don't know what the heck github is.
Android/Google does this extremely well. I've recently had to do a few factory resets trying to fix a hardware issue on my phone.

Just turn on Google's backup service for apps and settings, let it finish syncing, and then factory reset. When you login to the fresh phone, it offers you that backup in the startup wizard. If you're on a good connection, restoring the backup is surprisingly fast.
We used this company to bootstrap software startups. One looks more promising than this company, and splitting our efforts up seems unwise.

Also, we need to travel for the software startup, and this isn't exactly a remote job.

It's more or less "one or the other" and we chose "the other."
iCloud backup from the phone works well. Then factory reset. You can do this by yourself from iTunes from your computer if you don't want to pay for the iCloud storage fees.

I don't know how to do it on a Google phone, does anyone have any suggestions?

Edit: the other commenter knew.
In a large metro area with a strong tech company presence, we only recently got an available bump from our monopolistic overlords.

Prior we were maxed with "minimum speeds" of 25/5. With 4 people doing streaming and games, the service barely became useful. That's WITH an ISP that plays nice with Netflix peering setup.

The government should be in the business of meeting the needs of the people that put government officials in office. Full stop.

I mean are some towers that can be upgraded with 4G, 5G, etc going to break that bank compared to all the boon-doggles out there? It would be fair, IMO, to be concerned over the rollout becoming a boon-doggle.

Google Hangouts switched from the NPAPI plugin to WebRTC in Chrome back in 2014 [1], but still used plugins (NPAPI or ActiveX) for other browsers. Hangouts depends on non-standard WebRTC functionality in Chrome [2].

Google has had three years to adapt to other browsers' standard WebRTC stacks, but it was apparently not a priority for the company as long as the legacy Hangouts plugins still worked in other browsers. Mozilla announced in 2015 [3] that it would remove NPAPI plugin support in 2017, so Google had plenty of notice that the Hangouts plugin would stop working in Firefox. Google's new "Hangouts Meet" service is supposed to work with standard WebRTC in Firefox and Edge, but Hangouts Meet is still in beta and its system requirements page still only lists Chrome.

You're probably right, it's probably more of a psychological issue than an issue of randomness. Perhaps his users simply trust dice more than they do "atmospheric noise with a certification of randomness across sliding windows", even though minor imperfections in dice (and dug-out pips are more than minor imperfections) will cause them to be much less fair.

That said, it would be really interesting to see the referenced thesis-like papers. Or use high quality Vegas dice for awhile and compare the outcome of those to the purely random data.
