> There really are good reasons for such a choice. The schools that are so famous for their top-end research are achieving that research success by having those elite professors doing research, and that comes at the expense of teaching. Going to a merely "most selective" school rather than "Ivy Plus" is an decent solution to that problem.

One of the points of going to good research universities is to immerse yourself in exactly that environment: research. Good students probably don't need good teachers to learn. The reason to go to a top research university is to get involved in exactly that research. Especially in computer science and engineering, this is part of the pipeline to the really interesting jobs in industry.

I completely missed this when I was in school, and I regret it.

I lead teams of software engineers, and what we have learned is that those who bring drive and active energy in their positions excel the best. It's a performance business, and over the long haul effort matters greatly.

It's also a marathon. Tech is constantly changing, and we all need to stay current and avoid becoming a dinosaur. It requires a persistent drive to always be willing to learn new things, to challenge what you've learned in the past, and stay on top of changes in our industry.

We put our trust in those who sustain this over time.

You're misusing the analogy. Google is the friend, and Google product X is the friend's promise, and since the friend has broken promises Y, Z, A, B, C, D, E... in the past, eventually one stops believing the friend's promises.

So now, when the friend says, "Hey, meet me at $PLACE tonight at $TIME and we'll do $ACTIVITY," you say, "Yeah, right," and don't bother to go, because there's a good chance he won't show up, or he'll leave after 5 minutes, and you'll have to pay his tab.

I think I get it. For some reason I thought CDOs were kind of like bonds or annuities based on the mortgage payments, but I didn't realize that if you bought a CDO from someone you were also buying the underlying assets. So in the first scenario I thought banks were on the hook for reimbursing mortgage payments to the CDO holders, but in actuality whoever held the CDO was the one getting screwed.

However, even if banks were forced to sell off their CDOs, I don't quite see how that devalues the properties. Selling a CDO for a lower rate than before might simply suggest a reduced rate of people making their mortgage payments. For example if I have given Bob a mortgage on a house worth $100, expect to make $10 from interest, and think Bob has a 10% chance of defaulting, wouldn't the value of the CDO be roughly $109 (ignoring that the amount of time into the mortgage at which he defaults affects the price), because even if Bob does default, I still own the $100 house? And then let's say I run into liquidity trouble and need to sell this CDO for $101 (over $100 because my own liquidity problems don't necessarily affect Bob's), that doesn't seem to affect the value of Bob's mortgage at all.

Was the problem that the only institutions that could actually buy CDOs were banks themselves? So then if they were all illiquid, there was nobody who could even buy that many assets at once.

I know from diets that low calorie intake does affect the mind, usually in a positive manner. That's not necessarily something I would call "hypoglycemia" though. I never checked, so far.

Both glucose and insulin levels vary throughout the day, even in healthy people, so I don't see why blood sugar can't be "low", at least with respect to the individual's daily range.

If you've never seen how a particular game works and want to get a feel, search around and watch an episode or two of the game online. Rollplay on Youtube has a good channel that covers a lot of different types of games. You can also find games on Roll20's channel as well, and many more on Twitch and other channels.

As for game types, many of the ones listed here are very tailored games meant to play a very specific kind of game. I'll try to give you a summary of some of the popular ones.

Apocalypse World (AW) is a game, as you'd expect, about playing as a group of survivors in a post apocalyptic setting.

Night Witches is a varient of AW about a female bomber squadron in WWII.

Dogs in the Vineyard is a game about faithful 'God's Watchdogs' that go around Mormon-esque towns helping the community and enforcing the judgments of their religion.

Fate Accelerated or Fate Core is a mostly generic system meant to tell a lot of different kinds of stories. Fate Accelerated specifically is a very short and very flexible rulebook for whatever you could imagine.

D&D or Pathfinder are games about playing a group of adventurers in a tolkien-esque fantasy world, generally combat focused but you can play a lot of kinds of campaigns in D&D.

Dungeon World is a 'rules-lite' version of D&D based on the AW ruleset, which basically means it has a lot less rules and is more focused on the collective narrative.

Shadowrun is a game about telling cyberpunk heist stories in a fantasy/cyberpunk futuristic city run by megacorporations.

Blades in the Dark is a game about a scoundrel crew building their gang up from scratch in a city roughly based on the Thief or Dishonored games.

There's many more out there, it just depends on the kind of experience your group wants to have. Many of these rulesets are wildly different and the rules are tailored to create a specific kind of experience. Some of these rulesets are more generic and meant to be used to play a wide variety of games. Some are 'rules heavy/crunchy' which involve a lot more mechanics while some are 'rules light' and deliberately involve much less. D&D, Fate, Pathfinder are examples of more generic rulesets, whereas Blades in the Dark, Apocalypse World, Night Witches, or Dogs in the Vineyard are much more specific.
I don't know if I can deal with such a high speed terminal. It really is too fast for comfortable reading.

When I first saw a 300 baud Texas Instruments Silent 700 terminal, it was an eye-opener. Sure, the thermal paper printouts faded pretty quickly, but at 30 characters a second it was three times as fast as the Teletype machines I used before.

Even with all that speed, it wasn't too fast for the human mind to comprehend. Not like this 600 baud monstrosity.

It probably doesn't even mean that. They've said before that the companies they are unsure about and pass on are the hardest to reason about which is probably true for a lot of aspects of business. They just couldn't get across the finish line, there's not much "there" there.

Anyone that got rejected that believes in their business should keep at it. We got rejected several times from YC in the early days, and it really meant nothing for the business in the grand scheme of things (so glad we didn't give up!)

I always wanted to give it a go, but could never find a group. Now as a careered adult with kids, it is even harder to find time to try this kind of thing, especially since my spouse has few gaming tendencies. Last year or so though, I saw a Pathfinder Humble Bundle for a bunch of rule books and I decided to buy them for fun. And that got me thinking..I started poking around some forums and ended up joining a play-by-post (PbP) Pathfinder campaign over at paizo.com.

I've really enjoyed myself! After a while I joined two more campaigns. A post or three a day is easy to fit in my schedule. It really gives me something to look forward to each morning as I sit down with some coffee.

Dude. That looks awesome. It kindof annoys me that the timestamp wasn't somehow worked into the signature itself (like as a sub-packet), but that would probably need messing with GPG in some way.

(What I mean is, a GPG signature includes a space for "sub-packets" of information, stored in in "length-type-value" form. See RFC 4480 Section 5.2.3 for the overall signature packet format. The OpenTimestamp data could be embedded as a sub-packet, causing its content to also be signed.)

Some of the upside include money, help raising your next round (intros to other later stage VCs), providing you with additional money (insider bridge round), hiring leads (VP level), operational input (finances), product input (from partners who've run companies before), giving you legitimacy (companies are worried if you'll be around in 2 years), and yes, sales lead intros (rolodex networker style VCs).

Before re-reading the comments after approaching this thread again, a few hours after the first time I did, I basically just wanted to comment "this is very very unlikely to be true, and at best we can only say 'reasons that make people self-control make people self-control'"

Suppose I made the argument "car crashes rely upon momentum":

- car crashes is a terse signifier; a high-level recognition of something that no doubt relies upon low-level phenomena

- momentum is a physical, and therefore, low-level, phenomenon

No one would say I said anything useful. They would say "well duh but why were they driving towards where they drove? were they reading a text? were they drunk? were they even to blame when they crashed? was the car fully-functional? what were the weather conditions like? how much experience driving had they had? how old were they? how good was their vision?" etc..

More or less this is what is going on with, at least, the headline implies:

- self control: high level subjective phenomenon (who is to say that every person has self-control via non-dissimilar mechanisms??)

relies upon

- glucose: a correlate. Correlates are mostly useless and used to fool people, even if r > 0, and even if r=~1. Correlation more often indicates that there is a combination of excitement and merely-coincidental yet spurious non-causality in >99.99% of measurements.

I don't blame people for wanting there to be a simple, chemiological explanation for things that are very important to their existence. But I do blame the people who are responsible for preemptively jumping the gun and broadcasting the suggestion that these questions have been answered, especially because they are reporting that it was solved via something as vulgarly facile as in vivo molar concentration of near-universal molecule

Even if it is unlikely that the claim is true in a fundamental and meaningful and not-merely-correlative sense, after so many decades of prior investigators having approached this obvious hypothesis..
Ouch, that's actually scary. Good luck.

I saw this all coming from a mile away. I was frankly shocked at how low the price was last year, given they nearing the end of a major development cycle (both AMD [as a CPU vendor] and ATI->AMD [as a GPU vendor], they have a habit of developing a leading flagship product about once every four to five years, but focusing more on making their last flagship more affordable in the years between).

It also can not be ignored that until the Switch came out, they were making the SoCs for every current generation console.

I've had the worst interviewing experience with google. It seems like they just don't give a shit about the people they're trying to hire. In my phone interview, my interviewer never came. I got rescheduled. In my next interview, the lady thought I was someone else and was reading someone else's resume. She apologized and then I did a binary tree search problem in google search.

The recruiter wanted to do a full on-site panel. I had already offers from several companies at that point. Google was just so bad and careless that I decided to there was no point moving forward. I called it off and chose another company with a sane hiring process.

Google is big and has an insane amount of money in the bank. They can have the shittiest interview process but the input to the pipe is so large that their hiring funnel still works out.

Although I am convinced the reason why google has such a bad male:female ratio of engineers compared to Microsoft is possibly due to their hiring process.

It's incredibly sad that control theorists spent so much time working out analytic solutions to dynamical systems, only to be so thoroughly beaten by Reinforcement Learning.

The recent successes of Alpha Go, Alpha Go Zero, as well work at OpenAI and Berkeley (especially on the incredibly physically-accurate simulator MuJuCo) show that the era of classical controls is dead. Indeed, it may be the case that seeking analytic solutions to problems like this is an artifact of a time when computation was expensive and human time was cheap.

In fact, recent work on robots learning to play with themselves from OpenAI [https://blog.openai.com/competitive-self-play/] suggests that in the near future, humans won't be needed for designing these algorithms at all!

>My guess for a real cause of this effect would be neurotransmitter depletion in key neurons involved in self-discipline.

Thanks for your detailed refutation of this article. I pinboard'd the article, then read your comment, and un-pinboard'd it.

Your guess for the real mechanism is a depletable neurotransmitter. It brings up the matter of discipline - is it a consumable resource, or a buildable resource?

I think traditionally most people think of discipline/self-control being a limited resource. In the course of my own life, trying to manage habits( example, strength training, eating healthily) I find the less I have to rely on at-the-moment willpower, and more on habit, the more adherence I demonstrate. That leads me to think that discipline is a (precious) limited resource.

On the other hand, was listening to a Jocko Willink podcast episode this weekend, and he claims that exercising discipline leads to further capacity for more discipline.

I don't totally reject his idea, but it implies there isn't a limited neurotransmitter, but more some kind of positive feedback loop.

Truth is probably some kind of murky combination I suppose.
C corps pay taxes on operating profits which are gross revenues (that is, revenue less cost of goods sold, which for software companies is usually 0) minus operating expenses. Operating expenses include salaried employees. Then you take out interest from any debt you have and pay a percentage on that towards taxes, to get your net profit. Net profit is the amount available to actually take home for shareholders. Once you make your distributions to shareholders, you are left with retained earnings.

That isn't what it means but the problem with it is that it has extra knock on effects.

There is a reason GPL v2 was incredibly popular and GPLv3 basically killed all momentum and it wasn't because GPLv3 was better. At least not from a business point of view.

And that, at its core, is the issue. In a world where the only licence is GPLv3... it works. But in a world where people can choose other licenses - it won't be the choice of most.

It's a shame because I love the GPLv2 but I'll never use GPLv3 and honestly it's just less hassle to chose MIT for most companies.
