The basic idea is that each participant can distribute 'X' # of coins to every other participant in the currency. The caveat is that each individual needs to be held accountable for the choices they make as to who they "vouch" for when distributing currency.

That's not to say the amount distributed can change in some obvious way. My current thinking is that if person A, B, C say person X gets money, then they get the same "agreed upon" (or fixed) distribution as everyone else.

On the other end the coins that are created have a "depreciation" built in. Something that depreciates 100% in 5 years won't appear too valuable. But something that depreciates over the course of an entire lifetime will feel plenty valuable to the people who are the original recipients. So in other words my current target is 100 years.
It's really cool that they did this, and would be more useful if they'd share the code so we can see exactly how they made it work.

Because even if manufacturers did really save some money (which is debatable) it doesn't make sense to save some cents on an $800 product.

For example in terms of parts all phones already have a DA conversor and an amp to be able to send analog audio to the speakers. The actual headphone jack costs close to nothing.

It might even be more expensive for Apple to manufacture the lightning to headphone adapter...
Just a quick update to note that we are on the Stripe "Works With" page but that that isn't an official "endorsement" by Stripe in any way. That word was probably too strong. The rest of it is 100% true though.

I didn't get in to MIT, but if I had, it's unlikely I would have attended, due to financial reasons. I went to a state school, and had a handful of scholarships to help me out.

In retrospect, I would have been better off applying to UIUC, Purdue, or CMU, but quite a lot of the decisions I made when young would have turned out differently if I knew then what I know now.
Yeah, the video is from 2013, not 2006.
Is there any way you can think of for working around this? Some actual method of recruiting outsiders of the system in a realistic way?

I've always assumed that open source would be one of the places to go for such telemetry, but have never known where contributing would actually furnish that kind of benefit. It would be good to know if there were projects that are actually fit that criteria, instead of merely being coincidentally worked on by a lot of employees.
> Superior in what way?

Superior in performance, and you can pick if you want to optimize for iteration (put the keys in a sorted vector) or insertion (linked list). Either way you'll trivially beat traversing, inserting, and removing elements from a red-black tree in runtime.

> Basically, I'd traverse a map and delete some elements during traversal.

That works fine with unordered_map, too. You can keep the iterator when you remove. It's only inserts where map's iterators stays valid but unordered_map's doesn't.
> Having ALL the "top" candidates vacuumed up by the "top" employers just seems wrong to me.

In my experience, "top" employers are employers that pay the best. I'd probably be happier at a small and scrappy company, but they so far have offered worse compensation.

Wondering why no one has thought of using a Acousto-optic modulator? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acousto-optic_modulator

It's solid state, has a very fast response time, super cheap to manufacture, and can steer a beam with high precision. And they are very efficient, achieving a >90% first-order diffraction efficiency. The AOM material can be solid and thermally insulating (such as glass), so you can get very high power.

In the paper cited, they produced a device that had an effective power of 4 mW with active cooling. How are they going to scale this up, taking into consideration first order diffraction depends on the angle of incidence of the incoming beam? The steering mechanism is basically a tunable diffraction grating which means the active area is going to be tiny.

Most high power diffraction gratings work by expanding the surface area of the grating, it would still be very expensive to create a large tunable waveguide/grating (think how much it costs to make a CPU die), making the whole cost savings of solid state a moot point. You could make an array of the devices, but you're going to need a ton of them to get the necessary power and reasonable deflection angle range.
Particularly if they have a veneer of leftist lip service. Plenty of Westerners were and still are supporters of brutal regimes, while hostile to regimes that just happen to be right wing. If the Apartheid regime of SA had called itself "socialist" there would have been no boycotts or concerts...
This article strikes a particularly strong chord with me. I am a student, probably in between the second and third examples, and it is so unbelievably hard to get an interview. I wasn't even aware it was so easy for students at top schools. This is frustrating because college admission for many essentially comes down to the first year or two of high school. That can't be a good indicator of developer performance.

Maybe we need better career services for students at mid-level schools or lower, or maybe we need a company to step in between the gaps. Either way the system is broken right now.

> "I don't think people have come to grips with the nature of manipulation."

I agree that this is a big question. What are the divisions between manipulation, persuasion, coercion, influence, information, and education? Intent? Whether or not we agree with the position? I know that this can come off as flip, but it's not at all meant to.

In the case of the poster, what if there were two posters, an additional one for the local university. Average recruitment goes up 3%, and applications for the local university go up 3%. Does that change our perspective on what happened and the students' choices?

> It's not like these "great minds" are alien superintelligences.

I disagree, I define a truly great mind as one that thinks very differently from others, and solves problems others can't. Not someone who can just solve problems more quickly.

Why do you think it matters what his IQ is? You can't measure someone's ability to think about new things with a test that asks you to solve relatively simple brainteasers. I am sure his IQ was quite high, but that doesn't mean someone with an equivalently high IQ could do what he did.

Edit: missed a word.

A history of the ampersand
For units less than ~2 metres, and particularly with any trade related measurements, millimetres is the common unit. There is some overlap into metres - for example 300mm, 600mm, 900mm, 1200mm/1.2m, 1500mm/1.5m, 1800mm/1.8m, 2100mm/2.1m, 2.4m, 2.7m etc. Centimetres are used in clothing but very little else (this is NZ/Aus/UK, I don't know about elsewhere).
I went to a major state research university for engineering. During career fairs, the big companies would always have huge lines for hours and the unknown, smaller companies would be doing their best to grab every uninterested kid walking past. The big companies were usually a waste of time to talk to (and waste of time waiting to talk to). They would sort resumes by GPA and pitch the bottom 90%. Then you would still be competing against everyone at every other school in the region. Unless you are just looking to name drop your previous employers, the experience is really what matters. I would usually go right to the smaller companies and be able to have actual discussions with an engineering manager or even a VP. Those companies would almost always call you back and be interested for an actual interview.
They probably won't be landing rockets on oil rigs, so probably not very much related.

The problem with the solution to the problem of search is searching for the solution to the problem of search?
After entering engineering full time, I had forgotten cm is much more common in casual use (at least in the US), vs mm in engineering.

This is speculation on my part, but I consider mm better because it allows greater resolution than cm without fractions and makes more sense when you consider cm is the only non-thousandth metric prefix we use for common units (mL,kg,km - dB would be an exception). cm on the other hand is closer in scale to inches and generally easier to estimate because of this.

Cloudflare will not let you have individual users without the (unspecified) “Enterprise” pricing plan. Even on the Business plan, we get to copy/paste one password around the team. Great for security.

But is it really that far-fetched?

I mean, I don't think Tesla was some kind of super-wizard or anything; extremely intelligent and precient on certain things, lacking in other areas (it's interesting to compare and contrast Tesla and Edison, for instance - but that's OT).

But how often have we heard of, or read about, people able to come up with solutions to, say, complex mathematical problems, seemingly in their head - where they claim to "see" the patterns or formulae or whatever - and it just "comes together" for them correctly?

A kind of "synesthesia" for mathematics, you might call it?

So would it be any less possible that someone could "see" higher-order dimensional visualization and understand them, without need intermediary constructs or simulations?

Also - at least according to his closest biographer (so some bias there, I grant) - Tesla could supposedly "see" how something was supposed to be constructed; it's dimensions, it's workings, it's weight, etc - exactly. It was described as if he could visualize it existing in front of him, before it actually existed, and see everything about it. He could then build it - without needing engineering drawings or such.

Not sure where the truth lies with that, but it was fascinating to read about, if true.

That sounds more to me like "perpetuating the dominance of existing classes" than "those who would succeed anyway." So much for SV meritocracy.
Intrigued by the Octograbber, haven't seen it before but here's some discussion[0].

Looks like it scoots under the landing legs, latches on to the booster and provides additional vertical support via hydraulic jacks until the booster can be welded to the deck by the crew.

GIS has a bunch of pics too.

Maybe they could just leave it attached and drive around the stack on those little tank treads.

Hey Nathan! Thanks. :) I definitely don't think we'd be breaking even if we were still in SF.
You'd still need the barge to bring back the booster, plus the tug to pull the barge (and now a crane to transfer the booster from a fixed platform to the barge at sea). Not much benefit to stick a platform in the ocean when the barge serves that purpose sufficiently.

Edit: I'm unsure if you'd want to waste an engine firing on a boostback to the launchpad. Way above my domain knowledge though.

That's one of the biographies I've read about Tesla, and which I referenced in an earlier comment I made upthread. It should be noted that others have said it isn't without bias. It was an excellent read, though.
Love the article, really hit home for me. I attend UCR, which while being a UC, doesn't get nearly enough attention for its engineering program.

If your company would like to put the practices of this article into use, I would be happy to help you diversify your recruiting process! (I'm on the board for many of our engineering orgs.)

UCR has a surplus of extremely qualified students that don't get internships because of the lack of active recruiting happening on campus.
In our group's use case, we're not after the "implicitly-signed" property. We are trying to ensure that the person who is listed as doing the commit actually did the commit. We then have a server-side hook script, which ensures each new commit has been signed by a key kept in a local keyring.
UB is presumably the University of Buffalo in New York state.
I would assume that schools like RPI also have a lot higher concentration of peers who are applying to places like Google, carrying around copies of Cracking the Coding Interview, returning from internships, and sharing knowledge of the industry and how to prepare for your career. Whether that actually makes someone better prepared to do the job is an open question, but it certainly seems like it would make people appear better prepared to do the job, since they'd know what interviewing companies value.

The answer is yes.

Since a lot of people are chiming in with monitor suggestions, I'll add my own:

32" 4k main
27" 2560x1440 secondary

32" has your IDE and misc dev tools, consoles, etc

Rotate the 27" monitor to portrait mode. Use it for your browsers (however you need them).

Edit:

If you go the 4k route, absolutely make sure your hardware can drive it at 60hz. HDMI will typically only give you 30hz and you will go mad.
Firstly your experience is very good, and it must be very enriching. Do not undersell yourself, you can give a very positive spin on your indie experience. You can cite this as your entrepreneurial foray.

Secondly, why not try for few interviews at good companies, and see how you like the feel - You might like it - If it does not work out well, you can always go back.
