Dolby Ictcp colorspace seems to address some of these problems. it claims to be constant luminance with hue linearity per the following white paper:

It has a much wider learning curve than any other language I've met. You just keep learning, and learning, and at no point you feel like you master it.

Yet, it also has a much higher learning curve than any other language I met. As you learn and learn, your productivity improves again and again.

The learning curve also starts from a very low point. Without a few key concepts (no, not monads) the language is almost unusable.
At a minimum there's definitely demand side diversification, in terms of Europe especially not wanting to not be wholly dependent on Russia.

The latest US natural gas boom only began in 2007 and more particularly in 2009-2010. Cheniere Energy's Sabine terminal is what made the new export boom possible (more will come online soon). Prior to them switching that from an import terminal to an export terminal, the US had no practical large-scale export capacity.

All this is, is market demand, combined with the US being flooded with natural gas that finally has an export release (with global natural gas prices typically quite higher than the US). I don't see any hints of a master plan to destabilize Russia with LNG exports (besides that it's very unlikely to dent them, if that were the plan the Sabine terminal wouldn't have taken so long). Qatar is the nation that is under most threat from US LNG entering the market and altering the pricing/bidding structure, they've made a vast national fortune off of that not existing (eg China can now use the US LNG supply threat to bludgeon Qatar and others on pricing).

No. I try very hard not to use a recruiter, I have done a lot of contract jobs and worked at a few short lived startups. All and all this means I am in the job market a lot. And I find that recruiters take up 80% of my time, and get me 20% of my jobs.
For Ray, the main use case at the moment is parallel/distributing machine learning algorithms, people have been using it for parallelizing MC(MC) style applications, doing hyperparameter search, (pre-)process data, we are using it for reinforcement learning (and have a library for that, see http://ray.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rllib.html)

More broadly it is useful for many parallel/distributed Python applications where low latency (~1ms) and high throughput of tasks are a requirement.
IMHO, the key remark is:

"When are you ready to raise
a Series A?"

"The snide answer is that
you are ready to raise an A
when you can convince a VC
to give you a term sheet.
The more nuanced answer is
when you have achieved
compelling enough
intermediate milestones
that convince VCs that cash
is your constraint to
scaling your business. In
other words, you have
something that works, and
all it takes is pouring
money on it to grow it
much, much bigger."

The rest is assuming that
VCs don't know how to read
or think and need some
exciting experience as in
some movie.

A big problem for the VCs is that
for a lot of the good information technology startups, by the time the startups have the revenue the VCs want, the startups will also have plenty of cash to grow. Why? Because the associated computing is now so cheap and, for a Web site with a lot of traffic, revenue from ad networks is so easy to get.
Seems so.

I used my Yubikeys the same way as you did (using an old laptop which was wiped), not only to have a backup copy but because with well known software it is less likely to be problematic than some embedded chip developed on a budget somewhere.

It was my impression at the time that this was best practice for setting up Yubikeys for personal use.
This was in a small valley near insbruck, Austria in the early nineties. It got some media attention due to some controversy regarding irresponsible tourists. I had however done my research and picked a slope that was regarded as low risk, which was unsurprisingly not reported b the local media :)
> 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 it's inflammatory rhetoric filled with hyperbole and straight-up falsehoods like this that puts the bulk of the population off of Bitcoin.

> and all the features of bitcoin which are increased privacy, better control over your funds, better security, etc.

The history of the Bitcoin community, so far, can best be described as "libertarians learn step-by-step why financial regulations are necessary".

The boom-bust cycle, exchanges closing down and running away with their customers' money, etc., are things that modern financial regulations exist to prevent (or at least should; see how the repeal of Glass-Steagall led to the 2008 Financial Crisis). With a few exceptions, the financial system regulated these problems away in the 1930s. There's no fraud protection with Bitcoin, either. If you pay Bitcoin for something and the seller takes the money and runs without shipping your product, you're screwed. With a credit card, I can call my bank and have them execute a chargeback.

I think what we're going to find is that privacy is incompatible with stability or consumer protection, and when push comes to shove, the general population is going to side with stability and consumer protection.

And just wait until every last Bitcoin has been mined and the supply will never again grow with the population. The Bitcoin community will learn why hyperdeflation is bad.

And that's assuming the federal government doesn't just ban Bitcoin and call it drug paraphernalia as an excuse.
National securities exchanges provided marketplaces for trading but some of them also set up rules for public companies listed on them and they are responsible for them as self regulated organization approved by the SEC. This actually gives exchanges a lot of power. We are innovating rules by which public companies are governed (known as the listing standards) and are seeking SEC approval so that we can provide a different public company venue and IPO route. The goal of our listing standards is to move the focus away from quarterly capitalism toward the long-term value creation and getting the company operators and investors aligned via incentives like the long-term voting system, executive compensation, enhanced disclosure and board oversight described in the WSJ article. This is a major disruption to the current vicious cycle of short-termism as it allows our listed companies to trade off juicing the short-term performance for committing to their long-term innovation.

The "free market" is just a terrible solution to providing health care. There are some cases where it can work, but as a general solution it doesn't. Roads are the same way. Does a private, market solution (toll roads) work sometimes? Sure. Could we build our entire network of roads using tolls. Of course not.

In a way this is a bit of a cop out because no one can/will up end the entire system.One thought experiment I like to run is what happens to prices if we use to government to subsidize supply of services? Provide free schooling and other government benefits for people willing to train to become medical workers. Take the rural dentist crisis. IMO the government should be training people who live in those communities to become dentists for free.

We have limited examples in places like Cuba. I'm not saying that full on socialism is a magic bullet, but I think smartly applied it works better for markets like healthcare.
I've played video games my entire life. I'm really good at them, and as a result, I enjoy them. Video games have always been my outlet, my "TV", my go-to when I just need to detach and relax. I play ~17 hours a week +/- 3 hours.

I'm not as productive as I'd like to be in my side projects. So I'm trying something new that I started 2 days ago: Quitting video games ENTIRELY.

Here's my theory:

Video games are really fun. The instant gratification of landing a head shot. The skill, investment, and reward of becoming better, and better. The social atmosphere of team based coordination... These things have become my expectation for what is "fun" and "interesting". Years of gaming has reset my subconscious view of the world. How can reading compete with the excitement you get from a round of CS:GO? How can my mind be pulled to work on a long running side project, when I get stimulation and excitement from a game? I need to give my willpower a break, and reset my expectations of what "fun" is.

I'm going on a 30 -> 60 -> 90 day video game "detox" to assess whether or not my productivity (and other mental health factors) benefit.

In the first day (Saturday) I was far more productive around the house, because I was bored. I would not allow myself to play video games, so I took care of shit that I'd been putting off for months. So far, so good. I'll continue to monitor and see if this has been a net positive, or net negative decision (or neutral).

"It's the most pure" is a perfectly good reason to learn a language if you are trying to learn the concept about what the language is pure.

Of course, that completely flies in the face of an education system oriented towards training hordes of non-thinking peons into start positions at the job market. So, yes, it's not for everybody.

This is just a wishful thinking. I live in a country that would benefit a lot from alternative sources of gas, but for now LNG from US is just not price competitive with the gas from Russian pipelines (as in: being 50-75% more expensive). Funny thing is, that during his visit, president Trump announced that he plans to increase LNG price further.
This becomes more fun if autonomous vehicles broadcast their ethical setting. Then you could overcome the prisoner's dilemma with something like tit-for-tat.

> The ACA also reduced health care induced bankruptcies.

Do you have a source for this? I actually went looking for this info a while back and couldn't find anything either way. Chapter 7 bankruptcies have declined since 2010, but it's insane to pin that on the ACA given that we were coming out of the Great Recession and we'd had a massive spike of personal bankruptcies as a result. I couldn't find any credible information on the impact of the ACA on medical bankruptcies, and IIRC, personal bankruptcy rates are just now coming back into line with where they were in ~2006 post-BAPCPA.
>That's not a healthy private health insurance market; that's an opaque, balkanized system.

"Healthy private health insurance market" sounds to me like an oxymoron. I certainly haven't heard of one. There should be no market for health insurance, or organ trade, or public transportation, or water supply/sanitation. These are costly (in a deregulated economy like in the US) and require heavy subsidies, not a for-profit race to the bottom.

Despite my comments re HTML I solidly agree with you, HTML in emails is mostly a damn nuisance. Unfortunately, everyone expects pretty formatting these days, and it seems HTML is the default.

I see no immediate solution to the HTML problem. The fact is that producing a good HTML editor turns out to be extremely difficult, so invariably the implementations in email clients are generally only poor subsets of the spec, moreover, no two HTML editors produce anything like similar code/output for any given tag, etc.

An MRI is considered lab imaging which is typically a flat rate copay line item. So was the $500 your copay + coinsurance (with the coinsurance on the hospital fee portion)? And the normal MRI copay is $50?
Hmm, I'd argue the essence of functional programming is composability of which SQL has very little.

The point of an SSH key whose RSA key lives on a Y4 token is that you can't back it up; that key is tied permanently and irrevocably to a specific piece of hardware. Since you can obviously lose that token, you simply install a backup SSH key along with the Y4 key.

There are somewhat understandable reasons for wanting to back up TOTP secrets (it's a royal pain to re-enroll with a new device). But people who back up their Y4 RSA keys are sort of missing the point.

Something similar happened to me, except my insurance company helped me dodge a bullet. My doctor is at Stanford so when an MRI was recommended, they just scheduled me at their facility for an MRI in a couple of weeks.

Well, a couple of days after my initial visit, my insurance company had someone call me and say "hey, just so you know, we authorized your MRI at Stanford, and we will cover it to the tune of 90%, but the price is higher than most in your area, so we want to make you aware of more affordable options." I'm a pretty stubborn person, and I hate feeling like my insurance company is trying to screw me, so I thanked him for his time and declined.

Then, after a few minutes, I started coming to my senses. Yes, I have good insurance. Yes, they'll pay. That said, should I really have a $5000 MRI instead of a $750 one? Yeah, I can afford the $500 copay, but do I really want to? I'm used to just taking whatever services are recommended, but this time I went ahead and cancelled the Stanford MRI and took the $750 one instead. Saved myself some money, saved my insurance company a lot of money, and sent all of those dollars to a provider giving me a service at a reasonable cost.

(sort of related, my wife was recently in an accident where she went to the Stanford ER and was in the hospital for almost a week, plus some surgery. We accidentally gave the wrong insurance info so of course I got an Explanation of Benefits from my insurance company a few weeks later, saying "you owe your provider: $200,000" which is quite a funny thing to receive. Maybe it it was $20k it would be stressful, but once it hits the hundreds of thousands you realize you're not going to pay for it anyway. Amusingly, I think it didn't even include the surgery, or at least not the anesthesia, so I'm quite sure the true cost was north of $300 or $400k, and wouldn't be surprised if it broke a half million dollars after followups)

The Meteo France article I quoted is actually a bit misleading, it talks about a category 3 hurricane in a not really rigorous way «damages caused by this storm has been on par with the ones done by a category 3 hurricane» even tough you're right the sustained wind speed has been below the limit for a category 3. It's still strong enough to be classified as a category 1 (in england) or 2 in France.

The actual reason why it wasn't a proper hurricane was because this word is reserved for tropical cyclones. Neither the great storm or Ophelia are tropical.

I suppose, but lawmakers optimize for the 1% error case, actual drivers optimize for the 99% case.

Let me take a thougher position. The value society gains by upping the speed limit on a major road will quickly outpace the value of the lives lost due to accidents. It's just that the injuries and deaths are more visible.

The evidence should be that almost everyone drives at the faster speed anyway and 35mph roads aren't death traps.
The Neural Net Tank Urban Legend
I agree with you 100%. Our relationships with our employers and with our work is very much like our romantic relationships. It sounds like Rick and management were both inexperienced and focusing too much on the short-term. Similar to breakups, sometimes we draw them out over many months (or years...) because we've invested so much into something already, it's hard to just pull the plug. And certainly the idea of the "frog in the boiling water" applies to both types of relationships. When things get bad slowly over time, we don't notice.

I also feel like I've been a little like Rick before (though in a non-developer role). I learned a lot from that experience and, like you, have matured as a result.
German startup to develop virtual power plant, by outfitting 2,900 AZ homes
I'm fairly sure Boston has intentionally staggered lights to ensure that drivers don't get successive greens in some areas. I would also bet good money that the alternative is some kind of horrific gridlock from emptying side streets too slowly.

Honestly, I'm amazed urban traffic is as good as it is, since the core problems are usually irreducible. (i.e. more people want to go to a place than fit there.) A quick look at gridlock in cities where traffic signals aren't carefully planned and widely respected shows just how bad things can get.

(Suburban traffic is another story, but that mostly seems to be about overbuilt roads with no actual planning at all. My hometown has a couple of intersections that literally don't function - you can get caught at a permanent red light.)

Munich subways run until about 2 or 3 AM on weekends, with the later ones coming with 20 or 30 minute intervals rather than 10 minutes. After that there are night buses and trams going different directions of the city, that come every half hour. To use myself as an example, before Uber I would wait the 20+ minutes until the night tram came along, or a taxi to my place was 20 Euroes. In the early days of Uber, a ride home was 8 Euroes, so that was bearable, later on it was close to as expensive as taxis, so being frugal, I would just wait for the night tram. But if you go to a friend's place for pre-drinks, and then you go to a club around 11 or midnight, public transport would still work superbly.
It's kind of fun, speculating about the interaction between medium and style. Like, that there's something about human minds and a grid of squares that leads to certain things that ~work~ and feel good, regardless of whether that grid was created by the warp and weft of woven cloth or an electronic bitmap.
Marriage never fixes things, agreed, nobody should expect that.

However, marriage made our relationship way deeper and stronger compared to just living together. Even though we committed to being life partners before legally marrying.

I think I was in a low speed collision of this nature before autonomous cars even existed, and I was in the role of the autonomous car. I was inching forward at a stop sign because I couldn't see on coming traffic from the left. The driver behind didn't understand what I was doing, lost patience, and deliberately bumped me. (I'm not going to commit to merging into traffic without being able to see what's coming towards me, naturally.)

Oh, I missed that it's an Option.

That means that it won't work today, but https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/42526 landed, and is in beta. This means on the next release of Rust, code like this will work:

fn try_result_some() -> Option<u8> {
let val = Some(1)?; // Ok also works
Some(val)
}

that is, using `?` on an Option in a function returning an Option.

That being said, similar code will not yet work:

fn try_result_some() -> Result<u8, Box<Error>> {
let val = Some(1)?;
Ok(val)
}

that is, using `?` on an Option in a function returning Result. This is because https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/std/option/struct.NoneErro... isn't stable yet.
Yes I believe on the Genesis most games were written in assembly as well. Sonic Spinball was written in a “high level language” (i.e. C) and so it only runs at 30 FPS instead of 60.
