For anyone saying that, in spite of digital currencies being poor candidates for replacing fiat, they're still legit "stores of value", I have an alternative "store of value" that is also guaranteed to never inflate its supply. It's called: me!

There is only one of me, forever! The supply of me will eventually go to zero! Get in now- only $4999.95 for one 1/1000th share of me! Want to trade shares of me? Just use craigslist. I'm sure I'll be on Poloniex soon. I hear there's a double bottom pattern so get in now!

Don't like me? Well I also hand-made a copper wire sculpture! It's truly one of a kind and guaranteed to last forever! A 1/1000th share of my sculpture is $15,000 though because it'll make you feel sophisticated and artistic (I'm more of a lowbrow investment myself)

Those abstractions are about static typing, not functional programming. Functional programming doesn't require static types.
To me your view of "one person, one vote" sounds more like a new kind of colonialism - a way of making it so that the concerns of less population-dense areas are ignored and population-dense areas basically exert hegemony over them. Even if not a single person lived in Alaska it would deserve representation. Likewise, if just native tribes lived in Alaska it would not be appropriate for everything in the whole area be dictated by non-natives somewhere else just because more people lived there.

While I view our current situation and system as imperfect, I do think one of its redeeming characteristics is the attempt (not really successful) to create a system that can both protect from the tyranny of the majority and the tyranny of locality.

Equal population redefinition seems likely to merely exacerbate urban/rural tensions and vast geographic differences and create more conflicts.

On the other hand, equal area represents a cleaning up of our current system - Senators would now clearly represent something: land/area, apportioned equally, as a more appropriate check on a hypothetical population-only apportionment of a house of Reps, which should have its size uncapped so as to have the proper granularity for purely population based representation.

That's because it was a political solution. If it tackled healthcare costs, it would have been swiftly killed by the health care industry.

> How can you have competition or any kind of viable health care economy when no one actually knows the price of a service until it is set by the provider after the fact, and there is no way of offering an alternative means of offering the service?

It's not that nobody actually knows the price of a service because it's set by providers after-the-fact. It's that it's infeasible to predict what an individual patient will be required to pay until after it's submitted to insurance. That generally happens before the service is provided, particularly for outpatient services or planned procedures.

Providers can't feasibly predict how much patients will be responsible to pay for a whole number of reasons, one of which is that they themselves don't always know how much they'll be paid by the insurers.
I also suspect this makes sense for an introductory FP class (FP, not static typing). The students have already already met the language, and they can compare functional and imperative styles of solutions to the same problem. I think I’d go with python, and then have one or two lectures near the end showing a language dedicated to FP / static typing.

As the number of autonomous vehicles increase, people's behavior will change in time. It is shortsighted to relax the rules for the benefit of current human drivers. Once there is a critical mass of autonomous vehicles, then you can then start modifying the rules to make traffic more efficient with the guarantee that the rules will be followed.

If and when rear ending an autonomous vehicle becomes a common problem, awareness will rise and it will become less of a problem. Besides, rear-ending something with a dozen cameras and indisputable telemetry is just a bad idea, financially speaking.
Makes sense. A founder is more likely to feel comfortable enough to take that tone, pick fights and take some risks.

I believe capitalism works, however, "bad" actions are not properly punished. Case and point is the Equifax hacking which should have a company ending punishment, not a slap on the wrist. Once people and governments start punishing bad actions commensurate to both the scale of the action and the size of the organization everything will correct itself.

I feel like a broken record for saying this, but the solution to this problem along with most social problems is education. A well educated population will know when they're being taken advantage of and punish the actors accordingly. It's no surprise that the most effective way to control people is to prevent them from being well educated.

> Price transparency is the number 1 hurdle facing American healthcare. How are you supposed to fix a cost problem if you don't know what anything costs? Worse yet, how can there be a market for a service if there are no prices??? Less than 10% of healthcare expenditures are emergencies, that leaves a lot of room for shopping around.

I agree with you, but this will almost certainly never happen in the US, because Medicare benefits too much from the lack of transparency to allow it to pass. Politically, actual price transparency is a non-starter for Democrats. In theory it could be for the Republican party, but as you point out, they're not really acting rationally at the moment either, to say the least.

The question is about learning functional programming, Haskell forces you to learn much more than that to use it. Functional programming should be taught in something like Scheme, which lets you focus on the functional without being forced to also deal with a crazy Hindley-Milner type system that has nothing to do with functional programming. Haskell is not the right language to learn functional programming in, it's not the right language to learn anything in, beginners should start in easier languages.

You notice the big violations.

You do not even notice the small ones, which happen all the time. How many people cross solid lines? How many people sometimes drift a bit out of their lane? How many people scrupulously follow the speed limit like a computer does, not even accidentally drifting above it? How many people simply screw up the order of operations at a busy stop sign? How many people always scrupulously use their turn signals in accordance with the local laws? (You may use them frequently, even scrupulously, but I bet you often turn them on what is legally too late.) I've been driving through a construction zone all summer. People definitely don't drive "45 when workers are around". They don't slow down when the workers are behind the concrete barriers and a dozen feet from the road, and may drive 25 when they're sitting right next to the road with just a barrel a bit between you and them.

Even a cop tailing you and desperately hunting for reasons to pull you over still probably lets through plenty of violations. There's too many laws for the cop to keep in their head.

> That's because it was a political solution. If it tackled healthcare costs, it would have been swiftly killed by the health care industry.

Awkwardly, it's the other way around. Providers and private insurers would actually love a transparent pricing system. The entity that benefits the most from the lack of transparency is Medicare, and that's why it's almost certainly never going to happen anytime soon. Implementing a transparent price in the market would make it much more difficult for Medicare to extract money from private insurers via sub-cost reimbursement rates, and so they'd pull out all the stops in preventing it from happening.

That's actually what happened with the ACA itself, and it's why the ACA explicitly didn't tackle pricing transparency at all. It wasn't an accident.
Last I checked, LineageOS for the Nexus 5 is still vulnerable to CVE-2017-9417 (Broadpwn). LineageOS might work for keeping the userspace up-to-date, but their kernels are still largely dependent on the upstream vendors. If the problem is in a firmware blob, as is the case with Broadpwn, you are pretty much guaranteed to be SOL without vendor support.

I really liked both articles because they're starting to get at a fundamental issue that is at the core of a lot of the management vs engineering conflicts that tend to arise.

Personally I've been in Rick's shoes where I've been overburdened with tasks simply because product management (not necessarily direct managers) committed to accelerated timelines without consulting with the engineers. Although I brought up distributing my load to my peers, it was always deemed that there "wasn't enough time" to train them and the cycle repeated. I was always sympathetic to my direct managers because they were given an unreasonable task and had no mechanism of providing "upward" feedback or adjusting the schedule. At the end of the day I was just putting more pressure on myself. After a few years I had enough and left the company in the interest of my own well being.

At a conceptual level I think the issue is centered around making software a business. On one hand designing and implemented quality software is an iterative process and scales exponentially in terms of decision making (e.g. one week of technical debt can lead to months of problems). On the other hand businesses are deadline driven and function on a linear scale of time.

These arguments against bitcoin have been the same since 2010. They seem to ignore the point of bitcoin (it is impossible to counterfeit, unlike fiat which is counterfeited as a matter of course by the central bank to pay the federal government so it can buy bombs).... and all the features of bitcoin which are increased privacy, better control over your funds, better security, etc.

At any rate, the past 7 years has shown the market accepting bitcoin and the price being driven up.

People don't want to accept this fact so they call it a bubble. It bubbles a bit, sure, and there will be a bitcoin bubble-- but we're not there yet.

Bitcoin is the internet of money. This isn't just a slogan. Bitcoin is a platform that provides many improvements to the existing system.

But as a technology platform it is going thru the technology adoption life cycle, so was more and more people hold some, the price goes up. It will be "volatile" until it's fully distributed.

So "speculating" is not bad-- it's how bitcoin gets its wide distribution. Over time as applications are built on top of the platform, the utility will come more into play.

This is ok. This is the early years. Bitcoin isn't meant to replace the entire system right out of the gate.
Step 1: Save diligently (>30% of pre-tax salary)

Step 2: Invest in very conservative investments that throw off free cash (I personally like fixed income like US treasuries and municipal bonds). The operative word is "conservative" so that the passive income is reliable and can be treated as a permanent offset to lifestyle costs.

Step 3: ...

Step 4: $$$ -- As the income in Step #2 grows, it increases the savings ratio in Step #1 (a geometric series!).

This is a doable formula anywhere (I currently am working and raising a family in Silicon Valley) and I've achieved financial independence in about ~10 years. I still keep working to stay engaged.
This is a big release for a few reasons:

* major new filesystem (Hammer2)[1]

* OpenBSD might even adopt Hammer2 has a replacement of it's legacy filesystem [2]

* huge work on network performance. DragonflyBSD is agrubably the fastest BSD for network intensive tasks [3]

* IPFW has been rewritten to be multi-threaded which has resulted in huge performance improvements [4]

UPDATE:

To also give context as to what Dragonfly BSD is, DragonFly BSD was forked from FreeBSD 4.8 in June of 2003, by Matthew Dillon over a differing of opinion on how to handle SMP support in FreeBSD. Dragonfly is generally consider as having a much simpler (and cleaning) implementation of SMP which has allowed the core team to more easily maintain SMP support; yet without sacrificing performance (numerous benchmarks demonstrate that Dragonfly is even more performant than FreeBSD [5]).

The core team of Dragonfly developers is small but extremely talented (e.g. they have frequently found hardware bugs in Intel/AMD that no one else has found in the Linux/BSD community [6]). They strive for correctness of code, ease of maintainability (e.g. only support x86 architecture, design decisions, etc.) and performance as project goals.

If you haven't already looked at Dragonfly, I highly recommend you to do so.

What are you talking about? A company needs a facility clearance in order to work on classified contracts. It will also need some employees cleared at the level of the contract in order to do the work, and a Facility Security Officer cleared at the level of the facility.

I don't know what the hell "the government employee" means, but the clearance levels of government personnel are irrelevant with respect to classified contracts. The clearance requirements for the contractor are spelled out in the DD254 (for DOD-classified programs).
For a rational mind it is difficult to understand. However, social networks and many apps activate dopamine pathways in our brains [1]. The same pathway that activates when reward is "real" (according to your definition). Problem is, designers and engineers now understand this and use that purposefully to hook their users. To learn more about this phenomenon I recommend R. Lustig's new book "The Hacking of the American Mind".

Exactly. You must be 100% honest and forthright with your experimenting, and then it will be no problem. I was cautioned once "you'd better report it in the beginning, because they/we will find out" but it did not seem like a disqualifying factor at all, just something to know about. Maybe someone who went that direction in life and does recruiting or screening can helpfully chime in with a throwaway account.
