Tim Ferris said a couple of hours ago on Reddit during his AMA that we’re in a tech bubble.

Given he did not specifically say Bitcoin, but if we assume tech is a bubble in general then Bitcoin by default is the best expression of this “irrational exuberance”.

Think about it, why would I work hard to create something of value when I can just be one of the numerous ponzi schemes on the internet with domain names registered days ago promising 1% interest PER DAY.
It would take way more than 300 years of profits at the current level to justify the stock price.

That's crazy high.

Even if AMZN could 10x their earnings overnight by stopping expansion or something, they'd still have a 30x - meaning way more than 30 years of future profits at this level.

Either that, or they'd still have to grow that much.

Stocks are in a clear bubble. Snap, AMZN, Tesla, and also BTC are stupid, and the world economy needs a correction just to remind people to do their homework.

And it's pretty rational to ask if there is much upside to Amazon - because there's a whole lot of downside risk now as well if financial markets decide that 300 is a 'dumb' multiple.
Yes. The same as Chrome. As it should be. If they weren't in the UI, you could just extract them from the browser's data files or process memory. All that preventing access does is annoy users and give them a false sense of security.
My “not meaningful” point should perhaps been “can’t conclusively draw data from it alone” or “don’t make investment decisions based on this metric only” and I’d stand by that.

Maybe you're being ironic, but there are few if any preservatives in decent supermarket sarnies. Look at the list of ingredients and the sell-by dates.
A quarter pound of meat in a sandwich is far too much for a normal sandwich. We're not talking about burgers here, we're talking about regular sandwiches. You really don't need that much meat - unless it's roasted/carved chicken/turkey and that's really the exception.

I totally agree that you should have at least half of the sandwich thickness be veggies... and no skimping on the mayo and salt & pepper. This is where most sandwiches fall off the wagon.

Western capitalism strongly believes in meritocracy and that each of us can architect our own destiny. In reality, that's not the case and we can be affected by luck, historical forces, or force majeure. Our best laid plans may not turn out as we had hoped or we may experience the equivalent of winning the lottery for no reason other than being in the right place/right time.

As I read it, his conclusion in the end is that accepting this nebulosity is possibly the key to happiness.
The article states that axioms they are using for the reconstruction theory end up being abstracted above the underlying reality. It does not suggest the underlying reality is many-worlds, simulation, etc.

This is a restatement of the well-known equivalence between so-called “objects” and “functions”. Both are idiosyncratic names for the same thing: procedural values.

The condescending tone of the post is completely unwarranted, especially since it glosses over the real limitations of procedural values as abstraction building blocks, which don't magically go away when you rename them from “objects” to “functions”. In no particular order:

(0) There is no modular way to distinguish procedures that meet a nontrivial specification from all other procedures. Guaranteeing that a procedural argument never takes a silly value requires whole-program analysis, which doesn't scale.

(1) There is no modular way to communicate the fact that two or more procedures manipulate similar or related data structures. Try implementing abstract data types with binary operations (e.g. mergeable heaps) as objects.

(2) There is no modular way to control which procedures exchange information with one another. Say Foo is designed to communicate with Bar. I can replace Bar with a type-compatible but ill-behaved impostor Qux. As far as Foo can tell: https://az616578.vo.msecnd.net/files/2016/09/26/636105299923...

The cure for this illness is using abstract data types, not objects.

that's not being up front about it. it's deliberately deceptive by using the term "secure technicians".

to be up front, at the very least they'd have to say: "if our OCR technology can't read your receipt, we'll post it on Amazon's Mechanical Turk where a human will review it for us. Your receipts can be viewed and read by anyone on the Mechanical Turk site."

obviously expensify is in a pickle because they don't want to create such doubt in the users' minds, and so they omit this important detail.
Realistically, BI won’t save him, or his progeny when/if it comes down to “pitchforks” any more than the French aristocracy could throw potatoes at starving peasants and hope to live. I can’t imagine how much good someone would have to do to justify concentrating a hundred thousand million dollars in their person. When so much of that probably wasn’t fairly subjected to taxation... well... maybe he deserves some “pitchforks” at his door, or st least some angry government accountants and lawyers.
Child of “modest workers” in a communist country can have different meaning. Maybe they’re party elites? We don’t know. Something just doesn’t add up though.
I actually would love to heat my basement area with a mining rig. Last time I mined stuff was before ASICs for BitCoin were a thing. Is it possible to GPU mine stuff nowadays in a way that's even remotely profitable, when you count the savings on heat? My current electric rate is just under $0.095.
That's an argument from authority and argument from ignorance.

I am happy to say it's pretty evident we don't know.

If we do know, I want to hear the actual substance. What do we know, HOW do we come to know it and where's the proof that mathematically it makes any sense?

Oh yeah, totally. BLE support on both android and iOS is lacking. Older versions of android, and I believe all versions of iOS (please correct me if I'm wrong) do not offer a programmatic way of supplying the pin for pairing. This means that when you programmatically connect to a BLE device from an app, the user will get a pin prompt. This prompt covers most of the screen so it really is a pain.

Though for the furby it shouldn't be too bad. Just display the pin on one of its eyes.

It doesn't have to do with either.

Microsoft stock is worth more now than it was in 1999, and that's without factoring in dividends. e.g. this year it paid out $12b in dividends. Today's dividends are part of its valuation today, but dividends paid out ten years ago is just cash that's gone out of the company to an owner, reducing the value of the company, and isn't really part of today's valuations.

That is to say, he'd have received billions in dividend payments for two decades and he'd still own the same share of the company that's now worth more than it was in 1999.

The reason he isn't as rich is because of charity.

I can hear small parts of it now and then, and I can definitely 'hear' myself read and write text, but most thought doesn't pass through my internal monologue. I can't tell if it's because it's going too fast (Which is certainly possible), or because of some other reason.
TST is available, but in its default state it has tabs listed across the top and also down the side. You have to edit some other file manually in order to hide the tabs from appearing at the top. TST tells users about this but also disclaims the possibility that following the instructions to do so may break things. This is not exactly a smooth transition.
What about making admission simply based on intelligence plus the interest/initiative to apply, instead of jumping through various hoops?

That wouldn't dilute status because only 1 percent of the population is in the top percentile of intelligence.

Who knows. But we shouldn't use an argument from ignorance to say "X did it".
Right, a function isn't a pattern. But a pattern in the common usage is some functionality that needs to be communicated outside the core language. In languages that offer that functionaliry in the core, I would argue there no longer "patterns". I don't think many of the gof patterns are remarkable in a modern Language like clojure, because the options are obvious.

fake/dangerous products are the bigger issue with Amazon. I have seen prenatal fish oil supplements that are supposed to retail for $50, on Amazon fulfillment for $40 and on Alibaba for $18. Who's to say 3rd party merchants aren't reselling the fake Alibaba ones on Amazon for tidy profits? Odds are the fake ones are just repackaged low quality supplements, chock full of mercury.

With the breakneck pace of scams can anyone really trust Amazon fulfilled Merchants for items with very specific safety tolerances? (medication/supplements, hepa air filters, electrical components, just to name a few things) I have just started ordering more things direct from manufacturers web-stores rather than deal with the stress.

He reminded me of the "The Good Soldier Švejk" stories, especially the MBA part, the one with the professors telling him he can see that the author was feeling stuff, the brand thing and the part where he just told them that he wants to earn money (i.e. he was as honest as soldier Švejk was).
Applies to a lot of industries and areas. I suspect the reason is the constant endevour to increase profits every quarter and year eventually leads to a saturation stage where the only way to increase the bottom line is to start producing cheap crap and shove it down the users throats. Superficial low quality garbage actually is what the market wants too. Check out the top ten list of Netflix most watched shows. You wont find much critically acclaimed content there. Whats the highest selling Kindle book of all time? Fifty Shades of Gray. The only channel which has been really consistent in quality over the years has been HBO.
> You can't lose 50% of the possible audience and continue on.

I don't know that I believe this. Isn't it standard advice to go with a product that 50% of the market is excited about instead of one that 100% is indifferent about? Aren't Breitbart and Fox News doing very well for themselves alienating the other 50% of the audience?

> That might make sense for electronics and other items [...] Amazon's introduction of the Verified Purchase tag on reviews and recent changes that make non-VP reviews difficult to view, has had a deleterious effect on reviews for books, films and music.

A lot of the responses drift away from the article to broader issues of nuclear power - cool. But it would be wise to focus on this point:

After nuclear accidents, governments are compulsorily ejecting people from their homes.

This isn't the end of the world, but it is clearly an extreme action. There should be some standard of evidence that they are held to before they do this. Maybe most of the people would leave anyway.

The question needs to b asked. The bloke in the article is making a point that evacuations might be worse than radiation. This is a point that seemed likely to me after reading about Fukashima.

It is possible we are facing a scenario where:
* Governments are ejecting people from their homes
* This is leading to worse outcomes than if they where allowed to live there peacefully or leave at their own speed

If this is the case, we really need clearer standards to stop governments acting this way.
I have to disagree and I can not really understand what is so appealing about the simulation idea to many.

You can’t see the appeal of an unfalsifiable conjecture that everything including us, is an intentional creation of some manner of vast and powerful intelligence? Aliens, Simulators, Bulk Beings, or you know... Gods.

It’s just new window dressing on an ancient dream.
If you are from the UK, you should probably clarify what you mean by a "Public school" since a reader from the US probably interprets that differently than what you mean.
Not a farmer, but it's hard manual labor to produce a commodity product, competing against mega-conglomerates with endless capital, robotized everything, and economies of scale for days. Water rights are hard to come by, actual water is vanishing, and airable land is getting ever more expensive. Many farmers farm plants that can't be propagated (Monsanto). Soils have been mismanaged for decades, insects & weeds are constantly developing pesticide & herbicide resistance.

Basically, talk to a knowledgeable farmer and you'll learn about a whole new world of struggles. Just about the only upside is increasing interest in local and/or organic products.

From the wiki page on Simeon Stylites, the most famous of these type of saints (and I think the first one who chose to live on top of a pillar) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simeon_Stylites):

> Even on the highest of his columns, Simeon was not withdrawn from the world.[citation needed] If anything, the new pillar attracted even more people, both pilgrims who had earlier visited him and sightseers as well. Simeon was available each afternoon to talk with visitors. By means of a ladder, visitors were able to ascend within speaking distance. It is known that he wrote letters, the text of some of which have survived to this day, that he instructed disciples, and that he also lectured to those assembled beneath.[9] He especially preached against profanity and usury. In contrast to the extreme austerity that he practiced, his preaching conveyed temperance and compassion, and was marked with common sense and freedom from fanaticism.

Mark Twain's A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court (1889) has a lot of fun with irreverence toward hermits, especially one on a 60-ft pillar:

> His stand was a pillar sixty feet high, with a broad platform on the top of it. He was now doing what he had been doing every day for twenty years up there—bowing his body ceaselessly and rapidly almost to his feet. It was his way of praying. I timed him with a stop watch, and he made 1,244 revolutions in 24 minutes and 46 seconds. It seemed a pity to have all this power going to waste. It was one of the most useful motions in mechanics, the pedal movement; so I made a note in my memorandum book, purposing some day to apply a system of elastic cords to him and run a sewing machine with it. I afterward carried out that scheme, and got five years’ good service out of him; in which time he turned out upward of eighteen thousand first-rate tow-linen shirts, which was ten a day. I worked him Sundays and all; he was going, Sundays, the same as week days, and it was no use to waste the power. These shirts cost me nothing but just the mere trifle for the materials—I furnished those myself, it would not have been right to make him do that—and they sold like smoke to pilgrims at a dollar and a half apiece, which was the price of fifty cows or a blooded race horse in Arthurdom.

Interestingly, you still can't buy a pre-made sandwich from a supermarket in Australia. We have Subways and sandwiches at cafe's and corner stores, but actually barely any "ready to eat" meals at our supermarkets.

I wonder whether we have regulations in place that prevent this, just like we do with alcohol? Or is it that the Aussie market is different? Or is there an un-tapped market ready for the taking?
