Crazy how this comment section fixates on bitcoin which was the subject of maybe 2 pages out of a 23 page report.

His points on flagrant debt purchases (Argentina's), levered tech funds (Softbank's) and passive etf investing were quite good. ETFs, while a macro good, has underlying securities being purchased regardless of price.

>> 3) Speak about something you know very well.

+1 (or something you are passionate about)

>> 4) Reharse. One of the biggest problem with presentation newbies is that they're unable to keep the proper timing.

You may not need full rehearsal. However:

(A) Measure your velocity (slides per minute). Add ~30% for audience interactions including Q&A, and another ten minutes for setup issues.

(B) Watch out for excessive Uh's, Um's, "you know", etc.

Remind yourself, giving tech talks is nothing special. You need to be natural and just walk in.

>> 5) Don't waste your audience time. Keep your talk as short as possible; don't try saying everything, try to say the most important and useful things.

+1. Distilling and simplifying the messages is super-critical. Your audience would still probably not understand most of the talk. So you need to overdo on this to compensate.

>> 6) Focus on your speech, not on the slides. The slides should support you, you should not be reading slides aloud.

Focus on the slides too. In my experience, making the slides self-sufficient does no harm. Rather it helps in two ways:

(A) It prepares you more. Even if your slides are self-sufficient and "filled", you'll still have more to say than the slides anyways since during preparations, your research efforts and mental churn will fill you with a lot more thoughts than what the slides say.

(B) Slides become ready for offline sharing after the talk, giving you more bang for the buck.

It's cool but it's kind of a gimmick. You can easily haul lumber on almost any vehicle with a roof rack. Many cars with fold down rear seats can fit 8' lumber too.
I don't disagree, but it's more like having a viable alternative in the background that gets relatively popular and stable.

As long as it's there, then if there's every a major ball drop on Facebook's part that makes a lot of people want to switch to something else they'll have somewhere to go. When people moved to Facebook from MySpace it was driven by a lot of issues with MySpace that pushed people away.

Something like this past year's election with all of the controversy over how the trending news was handled could have promoted a movement of "Enough, I'm done. Going to X." Enough "me too's" and you start a trend.

A lot of that happened with Instagram. People wanted a place they could go free of political rants and Instagram largely provided that...and Facebook owns them.

You've seen a lot of "quitting Facebook" trends this year and I believe that it's largely a result of lack of a viable alternative.
My issue what that other companies continued to provide better service for the same price at that time with less hassle. To me, this felt like yet another middleman inserting themselves into the process and just trying to extort money from me when I didn't follow their rules. Plus, I never signed up for this, they just appeared and I was given no notice that 'my stuff' was going to be held hostage, no instructions, no links to websites or apps or whatever. So yeah, I was a bit cranky, my bad.
While your argument is quite strong, I wouldn't completely dismiss proprietary software such as Skype. Initial Skype release: 2003, so 14 years ago. It has staying power.

Heck, Yahoo messenger (1998, 19 years ago), ICQ (1996, 21 years ago) and even AIM (1997, 20 years ago) are still around. And Skype has higher usage than those did: http://www.whoishostingthis.com/blog/2014/10/22/instant-mess...

Haha, good one! I could actually see them doing something that crazy.
Governments take thousands of decisions. Can we really expect people to dedicate their time to vote all the time on these decisions? We risk ending up with a "democracy" where the power is really in the end of people having enough time and / or skin in the game to actually vote.

Voter fatigue is already a known effect where places that vote the most are also the ones with the lowest turnout. California and Switzerland vote twice a year, they barely ever go above 50% turnout.

That kind of system would be interesting for signature collection, however. It would then be easier, more fair and more secure to collect signatures to put something on the ballot. Today you really need money to do that.
I believe that turtle doves who have lost their mate also commit suicide.
ermmm… lots of places. :) It will vary a lot by local and subject areas but for starters. As a starting point, look up:

Universities. They often have all sorts of public lecture programs, for their students/academics and for the general public.

Some embassies arrange or host lectures on topics they care about.

Some of the smaller, top-level government bodies like the small business authority, technology agency, "entrepreneurship and innovation”… A local example of the last one locally: https://www.enterprise-ireland.com/en/Events/

Industry or professional associations (chambers of commerce, unions..) do some things.

You might find churches, religious community centres (google JCC in the US) that have relevant events

In smaller communities (where the above doesn’t exist), local schools might host these kinds of events for the general public.

(some of these might also be listed on meetup)
Completely agree, YDKJS is a great book for learning the language. In my opinion though, it's not the best book for how to practically use JS in the real world. It would be a great supplement for those looking to learn more about language details with the book the OP posted.

That's not the OSI definition, and your Richard Stallman quote isn't saying what you think it's saying.

It's saying that one of the problems with "open source" is that you can make the same mistake you just made (thinking that being able to see the source code makes it "open source").

Richard Stallman's primary issue with "open source" is that they intentionally avoid talking about issues of software freedom, and have consistently muddied the waters by co-opting free software as "open source".
Longer bed, basically. It's the difference between SUV and truck. The B1 is closest to a 2 door Jeep Wrangler and those aren't trucks at all.
Yes. Just come up with a non-medical/safety use for it and you are good. Check your car's engine to see if it will last through the next race - a very useful thing to do and nobody will think twice. Check a boiler to be sure it won't explode - you better get this right or people will die so don't talk about potential uses here.

What I've noticed is that India is a really big place and the spectrum consists of some of the smartest people you'll ever meet and some of the absolute dumbest people.

Unfortunately, most people only really have access to the dumb ones. So they extrapolate that into a stereotype of all Indians.

I guess there's not much to do but keep going. I'm not sure whether you can report the incident to anyone, but it sounds awfully difficult without evidence.
The Swiss have expert legislators that actually make the laws the way they want.

Grossly simplified, the populace can force a decision, but the specific implementation of the decision is created by lawmakers and later accepted by the population. If it is rejected the lawmakers get to have another go.

It is of course more direct than in America, though it is more a case of voters saying "We want this" and legislators saying "Ok, we tried to implement it in the best way we could. Do you accept?".
If someone were to go forward with an implementation it'd be nice to see a strong proof of the protocol to accompany this informal specification.

That's fine. But I find it highly unlikely. Especially considering "anglo" ( particularly american ) culture is so world dominant.

Please don't attach that. It would be different if you were thanking a specific person that had replied. But this is directed at the general public, and they can't read it anymore, so thanking them 'for reading it' comes across pretty unpleasantly.

My issue was that other companies provided better service for the same price throughout this time. Why make it harder when it worked well already? To me, it felt like yet another middleman trying to grab cash from me when I messed up in their tiny little empire that I never signed up for and did not agree to. So yeah, I would rate it a 1/5 stars.
> An electric drivetrain is incongruent with traditional truck marketing, apparently.

That doesn't make any sense. Trucking is a business market, not consumer. They care about bottom line.

If electric trucks would increase profits there would be a demand for them. Right now they're just not practical for most uses. The upfront cost is too high and the significant weight from batteries reduces load capacity.

If they are writing in Node, I'd say there's no need to learn ES5 as they should be using a node version with LTS. If they are writing JS in the browser? Then yes, they should learn ES5 as it's quite likely they will be debugging transpiled code at some point.
> This is why Skype relies on STUN like protocols => not possible in pure p2p.

You can have rendezvous servers for holepunching on p2p networks. It doesn't solve the case of unpunchable NATs, but I think if one is aiming for pure P2P then it would be sufficient to inform the user about it that it is "blocked by the network" or something like that.

> 2. Peer discovery in pure p2p is SLOW.

I can do random lookups on the bittorrent DHT (6-8M reachable nodes) that yield their first result in 600ms and returned the bulk of the results in 1500ms. Those queries can be run in parallel without significantly impacting latency.
The only limit are shoddy NAT devices that have their tracking tables saturated by the traffic.

> 4. You cannot efficiently have shared states in pure p2p without an identity server. That would require the clients to bring their keys with them on every device, not very practical.

Pair devices over local wifi/bluetooth/scanning QR code from screen to camera?
Or generate cryptographic identities in a deterministic way from hashed passphrase? I believe ed25519 keys can be created this way.

> 5. In case the network collapses, there is no way for it to go up again without supernodes.

You need bootstrap nodes that can be contacted when the client has no local list of reachable contacts, that's not the same as supernodes.

> Skype abandonned full peer to peer because it does not work if you want something fast, reliable, and feature rich.

Each of those things is a continuum. Yes, certain tradeoffs have to be made if you want a decentralized application. But you're omitting being decentralized and not under control of a single entity as a goal itself.

Direct democracy works IF we have an educated electorate. Which America does not have, and will not have for at least a generation... all the same, it can work.

An educated electorate does not imply subject matter expertise, it means ubiquitous critical thinking abilities... the ability to debate, ask good questions, analyze the credibility and argument of a subject matter expert, and having the humbleness to be persuaded.
Can't tell if it's a joke or not.
It sounds like information overload if you really visit all these sites every day?
It depends on ow you organize it, but ideally most decisions would be taken on the level of the people who are affected by it. If Joe doesn't understand before the election, he will understand after, and if he doesn't like the result, he can call for a new election.

However, modern DD systems should support delegator/liquid democracy (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delegative_democracy) which subsumes the benefits of representative democracy, while letting voters take back their vote from their delegate at any time.
Arguing the converse would be arguing that one representatives soul has more inherent decisive import than those represented and that's difficult to qualify or quantify unless the representative entity's God himself.
Maybe you missed the part about it being 1/40th the cost.
This will change with time. I have thought, studied, talked, and written extensively on this general theme. What comes to mind to frame it for you is my "four principles:" [a]

1. Compromise is inevitable
2. Default-allow products always fail
3. 1 and 2 are not opinion or marketing spin, just simple truths
4. As an industry, we are still learning 1 and 2

Security is slowly shifting from an administrative IT function to an operational function. In IT, the business value comes from the products and people are a tax required to administer the products. In security operations, the business value comes from the people, products are just tools in their toolbag. [c]

Keep walking this dog and you realize basic IT activities for core infrastructure are critical for security, to the point the CIO will report to the CISO -- unless the CIO steps up. [b]

So - in short - your frustrations are accurate, but the winds are shifting. Companies will incresingly value top people for their internal staff/blue teams. It's going to take a few more years, but I believe it is inevitable.

Exactly what I mean. Either you have a central server, or you use some kind of distributed store among the peers, but then every client needs to bring his private key on every device. You cannot check your messages on a friend's computer, on your tablet or whatever.

I feel similarly about Atlanta. I have a bunch of family there and have made 10-15 trips there lifetime. Something about the culture there just rubs me the wrong way.

I've lived in Baltimore, NYC, SF, and DC as an adult, and found something to like about all of them (although I laughed out loud at your description of Bmore). I really can't imagine moving to ATL. I think it's a 3rd-tier city that thinks it's a 1st-tier city.

I suggest the people who want to "fix politics" get involved and start very small: look at a single ward within a city. Don't try to replace representative democracy -- enhance it, automate it. If you've got a theory, start small, and run on it. Go out and get votes. Then, once you've been elected actually see the real world problems that exist. Or, even simpler, volunteer in a local state representative's office for a good few years till you understand the actual challenges. Make their job and their constituents involvement better. Radical change starts with modest beginnings.

None of that is what any truck marketing is about. Have you seen truck commercials or ridden in a brand new, unmodified truck? There is no loud noise, no vibrations (overbearing or not), virtually no noticeable exhaust. Modern consumer trucks are luxury vehicles, properly isolated from the outside world. Smooth, quiet rides and cushy feeling interiors. Car-like handling. That's what truck marketing is, and that's how modern trucks are built. In the commercials you see them driving over rough terrain, then they cut to a quiet and serene interior shot where the driver might as well be parked with the engine off.

Even for work trucks, they advertise that it has enough power to get your work done, but always emphasize that it's refined and comfortable. People who drive work trucks don't specifically want to drive work trucks, that's just the only vehicle that will get the job done.

What you're thinking of is children who think that the louder exhuast, the more soot, and the bigger engine makes them more of a man. No truck manufacturer wants to be associated with that and no trucks roll out of the factory with a configuration like that. All of that makes a truck less useful.

The highest selling vehicle in America is a full-size pickup truck made of aluminum and has a 6-cylinder engine. It's a very small market of truck buyers who want loud noses, excessive exhaust, or overbearing vibrations, that is not traditional truck marketing.
