And surface area for the cooling towers, or a convenient body of water for dumping the heat.

Thinking about it some more, I believe one way to answer my question is to look at what Helsinki has done with their underground city. But their surface density is nothing like the US Eastern Seaboard, and they have perhaps one of the best places for doing an underground tunnel system, with excellent rock, cool temperatures, and easy access to the Baltic.
I come from the opposite side of the spectrum. I know nothing about UNIX/AWS/Shell and have no intimate or strong opinions on any of the tools. I am confused by basics such as how to make a special request for P2 access, since the set up video is out of date. The git cloning recommendations on the wiki is also confusing to me. I'd rather see a video on how to do the git cloning or step-by-step instructions (with pictures) on how to do this and what to expect if it has been properly done.

I felt like some of the material is outdated and I find it not clear how to get around it. I ended up getting frustrated with the set up videos and git cloning instructions, so I skipped it in their entirety. I hope the future iterations of this class spell things out for beginners like me. Otherwise, I can't even begin the class since I don't know how to request access to P2, clone git, etc.

I am not uneducated. I come from a pure mathematics background and don't know anything about this set up business. I can code, know theoretical CS, but when it comes to setting up the tools (along with the outdated material) I am utterly lost.

At this point I'm just watching the videos. I can't actually do any of the coding stuff since I don't have the tools set up, but I like their top-down approach and am learning a lot despite these obstacles.

Which seems in itself to be a huge problem.

If Hyperloop can dispatch pods at shorter intervals, then high speed transit becomes a lot more user friendly. For the same reasons buses that run every half an hour are not the solution to mass transit, but put buses out that run every 5 or 10 minutes and the usefulness shoots way up.

>I don't have children, but my concern for children makes me not want to be in any position of responsibility for them.

To be fair everyone feels this way before having kids. No one is a perfect parent and there is no particular point at which anyone is "ready" to take care of kids. But that being said I think just having that thought is far beyond the consideration that most people put into having children. It comes down (generally) to a selfish desire of simply getting something that you "want", rather than thinking through the consequences of creating another human being.

>subsidizing the development of electric sportscars

There were no subsidies for the development of the Tesla Roadster.

The DOE Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing loan program was for the development of the Model S sedan, not the Roadster. It has since been paid back in full, and the taxpayers made money on the deal. It was designed by the Bush DOE to create advanced technology vehicle manufacturing capabilities in the US, which it did.

The ZEV credits produce no revenue until the first car is sold, so they couldn't subsidize the development of the car. ZEV credits are about incentivizing reductions in harmful air pollutants (spoiler alert: people's lungs don't care how rich or poor the car owner who emits harmful pollution is), and again can be earned by any manufacturer who makes zero emissions vehicles. It's not paid by taxpayers, but rather automakers who don't make enough zero emission vehicles.

Or do you mean the $7,500 tax credit for owners (none of which goes to Tesla)? That doesn't kick in until the first car was sold. It was effectively an 8% reduction in price, which increases demand somewhat, but that's it. And again it's open to anyone purchasing a zero emission vehicle.

You're exactly right it's a big mess of conjecture. He's not done research or methodical testing.

Nutrition, excercise, running, all seem to make anyone comfortable giving advice, with even the smallest amount of anecdotal personal experience.

Why is it you can walk into a gym (or any place) and be told with such confidence the best way to run, eat, sleep?

It's not that I don't want to hear it, I'd love to hear how to best do these things. Just don't make every bit of advice you have an extrapolation of what worked for you or for what you saw work for one other guy.

Barefoot running sounds great to me. I like to do it, it feels good, it's very intuitive, it evokes the romance of nature, freedom, even spirituality. Does that prove the commercial products out there have no benefit? Does it prove everyone should switch to barefoot running? Does it mean I should go down to a gym and try to convince people to do it?
Nobody is forcing artists to sign bad deals with record companies though. I am no way defending record companies here but it seems kind of silly to make a deal with the devil and then complain about the terms afterwards. Anyone is free to try to negotiate for things like reversions and there is no such thing as a standard record deal. Artists such as REM, Metallica and Prince have all famously done negotiated reversions way before the 35 years.

The US is actually unique in that reversion is non-assignable, so an artist can't give up the right to receiving their music back even if they wanted to give it up.

The UK isn't nearly as kind in this regard. Duran Duran were recently prohibited by an English court from claiming their reversions in the US. See:

That's what got me to host my Jekyll sites on my own too (lack of proper end-to-end SSL on a custom domain).

Also, if you're not using S3 / CloudFront you can use Let's Encrypt to issue free SSL certificates on any cloud hosting provider.

It's an awesome set up once you know how to get everything up and running.

I even recently released a course[0] that explains how to do it step by step (setting up a custom domain, hosting multiple sites on 1 DigitalOcean server, A+ SSL ratings for both nginx and Apache, etc.).

It takes less than 1 minute to deploy and protect any custom site (or web app), since the course comes with ready to go configs and scripts too.

It's the visibility, yes. I just moved my various blogging endeavors to one domain (coyotetracks.org) rather than the mishmash I've been using, which includes a few articles on Medium. But with only those few articles, I have over 400 followers on Medium, and my most popular article has 59K reads and 175 recommendations. (The next most popular has 39K and only 10 recommendations, because it's a criticism of "Mr. Money Mustache" and most people are hate-reading it from a link from his web site. Article #3 drops down to a mere 2.3K views, but 51 recommendations.)

I moved to hosting my own WordPress site; as much as I think WordPress's internals are a garbage file (actually, a series of garbage files passed around as globals, but never mind), it's so easy to make work--and the ecosystem is so big--that it almost makes up for its nastiness. But when I write an article that seems "Medium-esque," there's a very good chance I'm going to crosspost it to Medium to attempt to get those views. (With links back to my main web site, of course.)
Most of the time I also ended up just watching the videos, picked up the concepts I didn't yet know about, and experimented on them in my own way. I did perform all the Kaggle submissions, though, to kind of calibrate my level.

> By definition, there will be less money for non-mainstream anything

Consider a market with genre A with 1 million listeners, and 10 million other genres with 1 listener each. We can agree that the definition of the word "mainstream" will be such that genre A is "mainstream", and yet there is much more money in the sum of the non-mainstream genres.

> I guess I'm failing to understand what your vision of a better music market would look like. Can you describe it?

When I said "valuable ecosystem" I meant culturally valuable, not necessarily revenue/year valuable. I am simply saying that it would be nice if our world satisfied the following:

IF:

Some sound engineers who are into electronic music create a website which allows lots of people to share underground electronic music with each other, and start employing people to work on the website

THEN:

The website can continue to play the role which people have come to love it for, without having to change much, and the employees will be reasonably and stably compensated for working on the website, indefinitely.

There's a slight confusion in this thread, that many are rightfully pointing out, as there's a bit of context missing in the article.

The thing is, the term 'digital native' has been heavily used as a way of saying that children that grew up surrounded by tablets and TVs and the internet actually learn differently from the so-called digital immigrants.

For an example, see these quotes by Marc Prensky cited in the literature thousands of times:

‘today’s students think and process information fundamentally differently from their predecessors’ [1]

‘Our students, as digital natives, will continue to evolve and change so rapidly that we won’t be able to keep up’ [2]

‘Our young people generally have a much better idea of what the future is bringing than we do’ [2]

‘In fact they are so different from us that we can no longer use either our twentieth century knowledge or training as a guide to what is best for them educationally’ [2]

Now this might immediately sound extremely suspicious for anyone who has some background on the research of how humans learn, but it's a common myth all over the learning world. 'Oh I can't learn from books, I need interactive videos and apps, that's why I have bad grades.' Actually computers are an excellent choice for learning if applied correctly, but this is not what is usually being implied in these situations.

There's a big confusion between how much children are familiar with using technology from a consumer's point of view, and the natural human ability to learn. The latter hasn't changed.

The debunking of 'digital natives' is not new either [3].

By the way, for anyone interested, I recommend Hattie and Yates' book on learning [4] as a great, very balanced, modern introduction.

Would have? We don't have to guess; carbon taxes for automobiles have been widely implemented, especially in Europe. The result was largely growth of diesel-engined vehicles, which have slightly lower CO2 emissions at the cost of higher upfront costs and worse emissions of other pollutants.

Directly funding R&D on electric vehicles has produced better results. Yes, it's distasteful to use income tax policy to subsidize sports cars for millionaires. But if this was the politically possible way to get car-sized batteries built affordably, it was worth it.

> Musk's plan is to build sportscars and eventually transition into more 'family' cars.

The thing bugging me about this frequently repeated statement is that they could've easily made a taller Model S Estate version (just change the suspension a bit), put some plastic skirts and terrain looks on it - a squarely 'family' car, like a Subaru Outback or an Audi Allroad - several years ago, and it would've sold like hotcakes.

Instead they did the Model X "SUV", which is a slightly enlarged Toyota Prius in terms of size, and which is on track to see maybe 20k cars sold in 2017 - hardly a resounding success when just the Nissan Rogue "SUV" in the same segment is on track to see 200k sold in 2017.

* I say "SUV" about these cars because a proper SUV is something with a low-range gearbox, 4wd with mechanically locking diffs all around, trunk big enough for bringing a couple of Alaskan Malamutes along, and where you can buy a snorkel for the air intake for wading across rivers. When Mercedes called the GLC an SUV everyone laughed, but the nearly identical Model X gets a free pass.
