Recently I have been thinking about this; a lot. How do we get wiser, not smarter or cleverer much quicker then we could go with age.

I dont know if we could quantitatively measure how wise you are. So it is hard to tell if a person is wise or not. And a lot of times, you dont need to read 1000s of books, have a few DR degree or thesis to be wise. It seems wise and Intellect dont necessarily have a linear relationship.

A lot of us, might have thought about Time Traveling, like a lot of blog post telling you "Things I wish i knew" or "Things I could prepared before my startup or X". You would travel back in time and tell your younger self what to do now, what to do next, and what Not to do. But nobody came to realize, your younger self failed to understand why those decision were made, and what causes those action to be made.

One may wonder, try hard, fail hard and learn. Then you become wiser. But it doesn't seems to be the case, it seems we don't "click" until we move on to certain age / stage.

This rhymes with Zen / Buddhism loosely translated to enlightenment or awaken.

I think your "cultural change" explanation is a major factor, but there also appears to be a strong tendency for the issues the old tend to find themselves most heavily aligned against the young and most outspoken about to be those driven heavily by emotional appeal over reason. It isn't superior ability to separate facts from emotion, use of experience to inform their decisions or greater compassion that's making older people disproportionately likely to believe things like Birtherism and creationism, disbelieve things like climate change and immigrants being net contributors to the economy and find the idea their offspring might marry outside their race objectionable.

Brexit is far from the best example of this kind of divide, but even there it's noticeable that the Remain campaign focused its appeal on financial benefits, respected authorities' opinions and perceived negotiating power for better international arrangements whilst the Leave campaign talked about immigrants, authorities being "elites" and linking perceived "control" to nationhood and borders. (Admittedly the Remain campaign was neither effective nor targeted at the very youngest, but there was a marked difference in strategy. And it's also an example of where the older generation weren't so much clinging to a belief held in their youth as actively changing their mind)

I mean, to give the old their due, they're probably less susceptible to becoming members of fully-fledged personality cults than the young, and it's not as if progressive sentiments are invariably driven by reasoned consideration, but one can't help suspecting that if the old were truly wiser, their objections to certain cultural changes wouldn't manifest itself in disproportionate willingness to subscribe to nonsense like Birtherism.
It pains me to think that I'm going to have to take up programming again. I don't like it. I'm not good at it. But, it's the only reliable way I have of frustrating myself to the point of learning on a computer.

What's wrong with an options menu and then an advanced options menu?

People are down voting my comments that suggest keeping options in place in applications - on Hacker News. I don't even know what to think anymore. I miss my options menus. I miss the vast amounts of configuration choices.

What I really miss is learning what all those options did. There is still plenty to learn, I miss that. I miss tweaking, configuring, and getting things just right. I miss the little things you could do to tie in a couple of apps and make them do things they weren't designed for. I miss the finding the undocumented settings that you only found when you hand edited config files.

They inspired me to learn more. They kept things fresh. They made each person's install unique (which I admit is generally a bad idea in a corporate setting).

When you design for the lowest common denominator, you get uninteresting, uninspiring, uncreative, inexpressive, bland consistency. We've gone from a multitude of choices to bland bowls of oatmeal.

If need be, put the options behind an 'advanced options' radio button and emulate VLC. I'm not kidding when I point to VLC as being close to ideal.

And no, I am not a curmudgeon. Computers and applications weren't better back in the day. In fact, they largely sucked. That's not because they had options, however. That's because they were slow and had access to so much less information. The options menu had nothing to do with it.

I don't want to bring back old computers. I just want my options menu back, and populated with optional goodness.

Do you use Windows? I haven't used it in years. However, there used to be a program called x-teq setup. It is now defunct, but that might have been the greatest Windows program ever made. It had a horrible interface, a UX was not even thought of, the UI was probably concocted while drunk, and it was an absolute security nightmare. But, you could tweak most any part of your OS with it.

It's that sort of mentality that makes me want my options back.

Obviously not, and I'm not saying that. I think believing this statement from this ceo at this time is reasonable. The research he did to come to his numbers is probably independent and you probably won't be able to find a citation as everyone on here is constantly crying for for every minor assumption.

What motivation does he have to lie about this particular number? His track record on honesty to date is good and the company is forthright in its dealings, from what I have seen.

Oh absolutely, but I am not sure that the wealthier people don't have access to cash. That's what I was addressing. They may use plastic on a daily basis, but I'd be surprised if they didn't have near immediate access to liquid assets, including some that are easily bartered with.

I know at least two people who have gold in various weights, for example. I am not one of those two people. Some have art and jewelry, those could be bartered with - if things got really bad.

(serious question) why would Patreon build out their own video hosting system? Unless I misunderstand their business model, that's not really part of their core business.

I feel like video hosting/streaming is part of their Patron's businesses, not theirs. They just manage the subscriptions.

If I was an investor in Patreon, I would not want them spending my money building out a proprietary video hosting platform.

He's not saying that everyone should be able to use every program. But someone familiar with 2d graphics program in general should be able to learn how to use Photoshop without reading the manual.

Consider a bad example: Blender. Even though I have used 3D graphics and CAD extensively I still always have to look things up in the Blender manual. Why? Because nearly every control is poorly labelled, there are no useful tooltips, and basically no hints in the UI at all. Take a look at this awful screenshot for example:

I was only addressing their idea that the wealthier wouldn't have access to cash in the event of an internet outage. In my limited experience, they might. In the few cases I know of, they would.

However, it's a very small and biased data set, not much more than an anecdote. I can't speak about a larger group, I just don't know. So, I included caveats.
Talking about punctuation abuse, people that litter their emails or texts with ellipses is something I can't figure out:

Secondly there is nothing in that article about neo-Nazism, so I don't know why you brought it up? I'm talking about neo-Nazi sites, not general racism/etc.

You also seem to assume that societies continue to grow at an exponential rate while they simultaneously innovate.

Well, it seems the older people were indeed wiser, more compassionate, more empathetic, thus confirming the study. Young people were mainly voting based on self-interest (ie, "I want to be able to work in Lisbon (or wherever) if a good job opens up") whereas old people were voting for the long-term independence and sovereignty of the whole nation--which would help older people the least.
> why would Patreon build out their own video hosting system?

Because a fair number of Patreoneers (this really needs a better name) have private videos for patrons and, if hosted by Patreon, they can do a much better job of keeping them private than, say, making the Patreoneers use YouTube with a private link and hoping no-one leaks it.
Hey, it sounds like you're wiser than you used to be, now that you're older! The rest of these posts are so arrogant, it's sad.
It's a useful trick, but I was talking about comparison with what MKL and cuBLAS and other Nvidia libraries do. For the float/double/half implementations of "standard" operations that 95% use cases fall into, of which there are hundreds if not thousands of, I haven't seen even a close match.

Of course, if you need something special, there are various techniques. My preference for those things is to skip the middleman and code them in CUDA/OpenCL kernels directly...

OTOH, I'm interested in machine learning applications rather than physics/engineering. Double is an overkill here, float is the sweet spot, and some techniques use half or even less precision. Quad-precision may just not be the case that I need, but for people who do, I suppose they'd have their ways of solving that.

In other words, it was like a job, quite a few women (over 18) decided that it was worth it. I doubt they were attracted to his abs.

Some used that "job" as a spring board and it worked out well. Anyway, they lived for free and got some other free stuff. Who am I to decide what was best for those women? I think women should be liberated, free to chart their own path.

We also learn from our mistakes and the older we are, the more we've made.

When I think back to when I was younger (I'm 47) I realize how simplistic a lot of my beliefs were. These days I'm far more willing to listen to others and I make a lot fewer assumptions about why people do the things they do. I hope the trend continues.

I think that's why I was a little sympathetic to that Google engineer that was recently fired for his memo arguing against Google policies on diversity. After I read about what he argued, I actually said to people that he sounds very young. His recent statements about the positive aspects of the KKK reinforce that.
y, you're going to need a lawyer here.

I wouldn't mention anything else about it till your lawyer reviews your employee agreement and works with you to get things setup so you retain the IP until a time spelled out along with equity/revenue share.

Try integration across devices that are not apple's and you'll understand that apple is a hardware seller and this marketing scheme is to push you into buying their devices and keep you locked in as long as possible.

The difference with other big players such as facebook or google is that google business is selling ads based on giving software for gratis and facebook business is being the parasitic middleman between people and their data / online interactions (also company) and scrambling to make the investor story time lie believable as long as possible. They both indulge in strong vendor lock-in.

My point is that apple is not in this to protect your privacy or to defend humanist values but to get more people to buy their hardware for increased profit and shareholders.
Another comment mentions why it wasn't successful basically because Apple wouldn't give up user information and dictated banner size.

> Wisdom is a balance between cognition and emotion.

No.
I can't say I've ever had a PC with a particularly accurate RTC, though in recent years I've run NTP on everything I can so not noticed any effects.

Anecdotally clocks in small mobile devices like phones do seem less accurate though, at least when they don't have access to the network to update themselves. I've not looked into it but assumed temperature variances, which a device like a phone will experience to a larger extent, were part of the problem.

Of course phones syncing with the network relies on their clocks agreeing with the rest of the world - for some months my provider seemed to be a minute or so behind which meant I had to adjust a little when gauging if I was just going to make train I was rushing towards or if I'd likely missed it leaving already...
I think intelligence is our ability to learn and knowledge is what we have already learned. I think wisdom is knowing which one of those is not applicable for a given situation. It is a combination of intuition and experience, knowing if you should learn more or if you need to apply what you have already learned.

In a way, wisdom is recognizing when your knowledge is deficient.

No guarantees that my assessment is correct, but that works for me.
While it sounds intuitively correct that both open and closed platforms can be malicious, it is justified to a priori distrust a closed system significantly more than then an open one, because opportunity makes the thief.
Lack of a refresh button is not the issue. The issue is that the app developer has never tested their app in real-world network scenarios. Switching between wifi, 3g, 4g, lte, and no network access. Inserting random packet loss, jitter, and latency. There are a lot of tools that can automate this now. You can stick a WAN simulator in front of your integration testing environment and insert all types of crazy network issues into your tests. If developers did this more often, these "sync" bugs would be fixed.
That is not how resolution works.

What happens is:

#1 - Application (browser, chat client, etc) gets FQDN. It checks if it has the recordset in its cache, and if the TTL is expired.

#2 - Application asks the OS for the recordset. The OS checks its cache, and TTL expiry.

#3 - OS asks the configured local DNS resolvers for the recordset. They check their cache, and TTL expiry.

#4 - These resolvers ask the configured upstream resolvers (e.g. ISP for most home users). They check their cache, and TTL expiry. (This step can repeat, depending on how networks are configured. E.G. ISPs may have DNS resolvers per city, which ask central servers)

#5 - If all of those previous steps fail (the recordset is not cached, or the TTL is expired) the last resolver in the chain will ask the root for the NS records of the zone, which will get fresh records from CloudFlare.

Remember - any of these recursive DNS servers could have an override to cache the recordset for longer than the publicly defined TTL. This is not as much of an issue anymore, but it used to be a massive one.

And this is before applications decide that they know better. - see http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/net/pr... (networkaddress.cache.ttl section)
