Just an anecdote, but joining a fraternity drastically improved my social skills...and I personally believe these skills are fundamental when it comes to being successful in the work force. Not because being in a fraternity made me a member of a elite alumni group that excludes others, but because it allows me to be a more effective team member.

I have not doubt that I would be far less successful if I was as socially self-isolating as I was in high school. Not just successful as far as career trajectory, but just a less effective contributor. Most jobs require team efforts...which require social skills to navigate politely and effectively.

It is from this perspective I find the original conclusion more reserved and purely based on observed correlations, while the second infers much (regarding causation).
But where is the evidence that wages aren't growing?
Replace file a bug on GitHub with sign in using Facebook Connect. Is the amount of effort it takes really the only conceivable reason someone could have for opting out? (And regardless, threshold of effort isn't even a bad reason for not doing something.)

Interestingly not all places with high tax rates actually have good schools, safe roads, etc.

Rather, there are countries to invade, bankers to bail out, old-school industries to sustain.
Maybe gut bacteria are quite a bit different from bacteria elsewhere in the body, but I had an experience that makes me wonder about antibiotic effectiveness in general. My sister gave me a couple of ubiome gut bacteria kits and I took one a few weeks before my first course of antibiotics (that I can recall - possibly I had to take them at some point decades ago) and one after two weeks on Amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, which was sampled right at the point where I would have taken the next pill if I wasn't stopping.

In the "microbiome diversity" score, I was at 7th percentile before the antibiotics and 15th percentile after (inverse Simpson's Diversity Index normalized to 10 score went from 6.05 to 6.69). I did a couple of times notice ubiome presenting obviously incorrect information (and they never made a substantial response to reporting the first one) so one possible explanation that I could believe is that ubiome simply presents incorrect data. Another is that gut motility changes and/or somehow due to the diarrhea I got earlier in the treatment there was a larger collection of dead bacteria from meals in my gut the second time. I guess a third is that when alive some bacteria are not only killing others that arrive from meals but destroying them beyond recognition. Still, this makes me wonder a tiny bit if even two weeks of antibiotics doesn't fully kill non-antibiotic resistant bacteria in the gut. I was taking the antibiotics to try to calm down overactive gut bacteria (it helped for a few months), so even if this is the case for me it might not be generally true, but if it is true for anyone than we could be the ones breeding antibiotic resistant bacteria in our gut.
> Please start something (company or otherwise) that will make it easy for adults (young and old) to become part of a large, real world social network.

Churches are real-world social networks that are generally easy to join (the degree to which they provide large or strong networls vary considerably, of course.)

There are lots of other examples.

I'm not sure what the opportunity for Silicon Valley is here.
In all seriousness, that's called "church."

The Reminiscences were a bit better written, though.
This is a really poor article. Wages are growing, and have doubled in the developing world since 1990. China has seen 13% per year wage growth since 2000. Japan is not the world. Worldwide, labour's share of income has declined modestly, but that can be fully explained by the global decline in the labour participation rate:

https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SL.TLF.CACT.ZS

And a declining LPR is an expected result of higher incomes (more people can afford to go to school, live on government assistance and retire when per capita income increases).
The current state of things is that patents are stockpiled as deterrents, kind of like nuclear weapons. All of the big companies know that if they sued one another over some patent claim, the other side would retaliate, and it would be a big mess with no real winners.

Facebook's patent clause disarms all their opponents, but leaves them free to attack. It's actually a wildly aggressive, offensive weapon, surprisingly - just like how nuclear missile defense is one of the more provocative technologies out there that possibly makes nuclear conflicts more probably.

That's why it's totally unpalatable, at least at the big companies.

Or, maybe, there's a difference between getting a good grade in the class, inside strictly controlled academic environment shaped by the college administration, and the real world where one has to deal with chaotic conditions of real life and social environments rarely covered by academic curriculum. And fraternity life improves social skills, and gives people tools that can make them successful outside of the strict conformance to the rules prescribed by the academy. And limiting access to those tools would only make future graduates less fit to meet the challenges of the open market.
That's plain wrong. C# bindings have nothing to do with GDNative, it's a module on it's own, integrated pretty well and unlike things that can be bound through GDNative, Mono module will be a part of Godot itself.

$2M you may be able to get via debt if you have decent cash flow. If you have a relationship with a bank (and you should), go talk to them.
Normally, I would only mean the opposite but in this context, my intuition was to allow the shady trader to value numbers and their own time over words and grammer.

Not that this reasoning is useful AT ALL but I guess I was frustrated with myself for looking beyond poor grammar. Normally I stick to realms where grammar is highly valued but like many of us, I am making an effort to learn more about currency markets these days. It is a culture shock.
I'm in Portugal. When I worked in London (UK) it was the same.
What about issues, wiki and other non-git data?
They said they're evaluating those. Facebook has to consider the impact of each library on their patent portfolio. They may not choose MIT for some of them. Maybe they'll go with Apache v2 for React Native. Let's relax. They're making the right moves here.
Flow is specifically mentioned in the linked release as getting rid of it...

I would have failed out of college if it wasn't for people in my fraternity pushing me to get my grade straightened out. Joining one was one of the best decisions I ever made. I was shy and really wasn't very good at socializing before I joined.

For people saying all the fraternity members being from well to do families, I disagree. It was about the same price as staying in the dorms. We had a professional cook, on site laundry, live in advisor (house mom), and a large yard. I think I paid $600/month for all food, board and utilities.
Nah, you can get a small four or five seater jet (eclipse) for pretty cheap these days - https://www.controller.com/listings/aircraft/for-sale/178755.... Maintenance is expensive, but it's doable. Not saying it's a wise purchase, and not a 747, but my very conservative father-in-law is in that realm and loves flying his jet around (he lives in the middle of nowhere and owns a lot of farms, so it's almost a necessity). All in you're probably looking at $1,000/hr to fly it. But then no TSA...

That said, point taken, most people wouldn't buy a jet if their net worth was $15m. I might.
It's very analog-equivalent-to-the-demoscene.
I think you have it backwards. The facebook patent license puts all the power in their hands, and none in yours: they can still sue you for violating their patents, but you can't sue them. It would be a much, much worse patent regime.
You're right. "Proves" was the wrong word.

2 weeks in atm, no intention of smoking again. But this anecdote resonates with me. I think I've finally come to accept that that "Something about them is just so nice with alcohol" is just your lizard brain screaming for more of whatever you're on, it's all the same mechanism. It has a certain romanticism that goes along with it. Sitting down with a beer, having a dart, chilling out.
There is no need to blindly send energy into the air; the cell towers can already triangulate a phone's location. A phone could share its battery percentage with the cell towers, and the cell towers could optimize power distribution to phones, sending targeted beams of energy to those in need of a charge.
According to the link posted, it looks like Flow will also be relicensed to MIT.
Exactly. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol can't detain U.S. citizens indefinitely without charging them with a crime and trying them in court.
I do agree with that statement (in quotes) and if the purpose of Pulse is to be reminded of this then I think that's a novel idea and perhaps lightens the mood alongside Mixpanel/Google Analytics etc.
> to analogue video synthesis

Video? Eurorack and modular synthesizers of other format and kinds are about audio, right?
One of the first things I noticed was that the knobs, sliders, and faceplate labels weren't worn out. They are all clear and even the demarcation lines were all clear.

Given the ages involved, I'd expect those to be worn and faded to the point where they aren't visible.

I suspect he has done a while lot of maintanence and restoration on the devices. Even his jumpers appeared to be in new condition.
When I read about VR in education I mostly see "experiences" as a defining value of the platform. This is fine, but less interesting than the potential for augmented environments to enhance my nuts-and-bolts professional practice

It seems like this goes beyond VR, and is reflective of the design mindset in tech at large. Creating canned, linear, self-contained, one-size-fits-all flows instead of giving users tools that they can combine/contrast/etc into more powerful abstractions that fit their individual use cases.
This statement does make sense in the realm of audio processing. Moving from analog to TDM Digital, to Packetized Digital audio does add latency. Compare an analog radio (either two way or broadcast) without any digital signal processing, with a analog one with signal processing, to a digital one - each step in there, the latency goes longer.

On a full duplex phone call, you can tolerate quite a bit of latency, upwards of 600ms, provided there is no echo, as soon as echo is present, we notice the latency - but even on echo free calls, the longer the latency, the more likely both parties will end up speaking at the same time.
I'm assuming based on the way OP posted he or she owns 100%. If it's split two ways, I'd still take it. 5 or 6 ways? Then that changes the conversation.
> Coming out of Georgetown drivers begin a long, steep incline up to the tunnel. As you climb the last few miles to the tunnel, the speed limit drops from 65MPH to 55MPH and you have some folks who instantly do the -10MPH acceleration and you have others who don't think that they need to slow at all.

But that part of it you get anyway, because you haven't come to the exit for Loveland Pass yet.

Also note that the driver took a route almost a thousand feet higher (and probably less well plowed), when deeply worried about snow and ice. That sounds... rather odd.

I mean, I'm sure he had what to him were sufficient reasons to do what he did, but the stated reason seems somewhat inadequate.
Well what does?
More people using it and interested in it? Doesn't define success.
More merchants accepting it? Doesn't define success.
More governments paying attention to it? Doesn't define success.

What on earth would define success? It's like nothing is ever enough for you people.

IANAL, but here's an ominous scenario:

There is no patent clause now. Assuming some FB patent has crept its way in one of their open source, if a company sues FB for patent infringement, FB would be able to counter-sue for copyright infringement due to the suing company's use of FB's open source.

"As long as you don't sue us, we won't sue you" kind of a deal. If the above scenario is true, it seems there is no de facto change beyond the political one.

Anyone with more legal expertise able to disprove this scenario?
It should be hard. That's why networks are valuable.
I'm pretty sure most people develop social skills in university regardless of whether they join a fraternity. Having a group of adult friends, freedom, roommates, etc, all prepare you for the real world.

Fraternities also prepare you for the ugly parts of the real world, though. The real world is full of elite clubs without meritocratic entrance criteria, and learning how to join one and function within one is certainly an advantage.

I would argue that removing this advantage from as many people as possible would make the system of society as a whole run better, though.
You're probably already infringing on several Facebook patents. They bought a $500 million war chest of them in 2012 after getting sued by Yahoo. Many of them were from AOL and probably cover really broad concepts that we're all infringing upon. Let's not forget Amazon patented "one click checkout". Ok software patents are ridiculous. They always have been. The patent system was not built with something like software in mind.
Thats probably my biggest complaint about CHM, is they have no living displays - thats what I love so much about the LCM in Seattle, its all living, breathing tech, that you can touch.
Yeah, it is not like vinyl. There are a handful at most in each big US city.

If BSD+patent was widely adopted it could disarm all sides equally.
Probably because they have no patents that cover the concepts these libraries introduce. Perhaps wit some of the others they will go Apache v2. People have been so worked up by the FUD that Facebook can't even relicense under MIT one of the de facto open source licenses without being met with suspicion.
So you have no interest in it yet confidently state there's "nothing new on the horizon". Look, I don't know if you're wrong in the large -- maybe it does all come crashing down or die with a whimper -- but you're definitely wrong about that. Innovation is coming quickly, and I don't mean some dumb ICO(s)
People here got the idea totally wrong so far. You can see from "WHY VISUAL SCRIPTING?" section in https://godotengine.org/article/godot-getting-more-languages that it's mainly a tool for programmers to let artists in their teams do simple programming stuff, such as homegrown editor plugins.
I don't get your point about MIT licensed being a standard. The BSD license used by React is a standard too.
I agree. I feel like the biggest thing that ethereum has made so far is an even easier way to make an ICO scam.

I personally think that there will be innovation soon. In the next couple years there'll be a CC that establishes a storage market, once there is a robust storage market we could start to see serious attempts at selling compute time for something useful.

It's possible normal tx could be disrupted by CCs at some point, but that day is very far away. Even in legal cash only markets we haven't seen businesses adopt CCs.
Normies?
By joining a fraternity despite being from humble means I'm almost certain you're someone who would have sought social connections even without. And you'd likely end up into an academic or an athletic or an interest based group where you'd build similar connections. The difference would be that the arbiters of who joined your club would base their decisions on your skills/interests/passions as opposed to your drinking skills during rush.

Would that be a better situation? I don't know but I personally doubt you would not have had the same meaningful growth if you lived in a hypothetical world where the social Greek system did not exist.

To be absolutely clear, I'm not a skilled investor. I'm not a professional. I have absolutely no ability to speak authoritatively on the subject. I don't even know all the terminology involved in the investment industry.

In other words, don't take advice from me. ;-)
Reminds me of a lesson about misleading statistics I tell my nephews. We've all see the hand sanitizers that advertize killing 99.99% of germs, but what does that actually mean? 99.99% equates to 1/10,000 survivors and assuming for each generation the population doubles means it takes just 14 generations for the original colony to be back at full strength again. For extra creepy effect, e coli can reproduce in optimal conditions as fast as every 20 minutes which buys you only a couple hours of hygiene[0].

Given this drug kills 99/100 HIV virus units, then this really only helps you for log2(100) or ~7 generations

The math is pretty easy, but the results are something that always surprise me: it turns out humans are pretty bad at estimating exponential growth.

0: real life conditions are probably slower than this, I concede.

One thing to keep in mind is that some of these shortcut keys predated the modern AT-style keyboard with the function keys across the top. They were introduced way back in the day of the original PC keyboard with function keys in two columns at the left. F1 and F2 were side by side at the top of these columns, and they were very easy to distinguish from each other and hit reliably. F2 was just about the easiest function key for a touch typist to hit.

I think in terms of new technical details there are lots of cool stuff. Atomic cross chain transfers are starting in earnest, LN is looking more and more real, zcash style tx might land in ETH. In technical terms that's all awesome, but new use cases do those allow?

They typically just allow the same use cases, but slightly better and cheaper. Those aren't the things that are holding back new use cases.
