I frankly hoped to read something along e.g. the line of Scott Aaronson mentioning that now we understand quantum mechanics sufficiently better to approach teaching it differently. Then he starts it with a concept of probability more broad than the classical one.

We might have a good approach to classical physics - though I wouldn't bet on that, may be we really should teach classical mechanics closer to SICM, by Sussman, approach. But quantum physics leaves doubts even with undergraduates majoring in physics.

Let's say you own a pile of X. If the value of X only fluctuates a few percent per year, like a major currency, you will freely trade your X for stuff, because you can always get more or less the same amount of stuff in the future. But if the value of X is changing 10% or more per year (or per day), you will either exchange as little X as possible if it's going up, or dump it all if it's going down.

Because startups create value in the real world?
Congress' and the SEC's diligent efforts to regulate markets and prevent another 2000 have also prevented another 1999.

Now companies don't IPO... they suck up all the funding that would otherwise be aimed at actual startups (as opposed to companies that should probably be listed in the Fortune 500).
It would probably be very educational to see the same sort of post-mortems from those funds that we've seen from their investments.

It's a pretty darn obvious thing to do when you're physically handling an ordered collection of records.
Nix allows you to perfectly reproduce the on-disk inputs going in to a build, and also completely isolate the build by heavily sandboxing it. But build processes, being a large and complicated function, may not give you bit-for-bit identical output even if all their on-disk inputs are bit-for-bit identical. So it's a good start, but not enough.

Distributions like Debian and Arch need to put in a fair bit of effort to reach the same level as Nix. But, in a sense, reaching that level is the "easy" part - it's an interesting technical challenge.

The hard part of the reproducible builds effort, the part which Nix doesn't give you, and the part which developers from Debian, Nix, and other distros are still actively working on, is ensuring that bit-for-bit identical on-disk inputs, along with sandboxing, will give you bit-for-bit identical outputs. That is a task which requires cleaning up the build process of the entire open source world.

In a nutshell: DJI is primed to obey authorities. It's in their genes. They're happy to geofence your drone for the simple reason of, 'we were asked,' which means that it isn't your drone. Sure, it seems reasonable when they keep you from straying into an airfield, but just wait until they prevent you from filming the violent crackdown on a protest.

Although I do think that there's something to the idea of, 'if any country is going to have extremely personal data about me, it had may as well be a country that cannot easily and immediately imprison me without evidence or charge.'
> Most of the fun is trying things for yourself and figuring stuff out.

Games have a lot of things that are fun.

If I'm a rookie playing chess against someone who knows the game, I don't stand a chance without some pointers along the way -- no fun, for me. I'd much prefer to be taught basic strategy (common forks, "walking the king" to end a game, traditional openings) than struggle through it on my own. That's because the interesting/fun part of chess, for me, is the execution. Of course, I wouldn't want to be told every move, especially once I learned the basics.

Catan (C&K expansion) has only 3 strategies I can think of off the top of my head: Expansion, Development, and Resource Monopolization (typically Sheep Empire, since if another player gets gets enough yellow cards, your wheat or ore monopoly is suddenly an oligopoly instead). Even with the randomness of the starting board, it's not hard to figure out what the best strategy would be, so I don't mind if someone teaches me. The interesting/fun parts are the politics and improvisation that happen when you add other players and it's no longer possible to execute the perfect strategy.

Dominion has much less PvP (your interaction is limited to attack cards and competition over a limited supply of cards) but a wide variety of strategies[1]. With an expansion or two, you probably won't play with the same exact set of action cards more than once, unless you choose to. So while I'd appreciate a veteran giving me some pointers in general ("Don't forget about coins, even if they're less exciting than action cards", "Don't buy VPs early; they'll just clog up your deck"), I'd prefer to figure out my card combination strategy for that game on my own.

Spider Solitaire is strategic like chess (it's fun to try to spot good moves). However, you're fighting incomplete information instead of an opponent -- there's fun in deciding when to deal and how to arrange the board beforehand. Lost Cities is fun for similar reasons, but includes a bit of PvP, mostly competition like Dominion; Stratego takes the PvP up another notch, putting it somewhere between chess and Dominion.

Risk, like chess, is PvP with static starting conditions. However, like Catan, it has a very limited set of strategies. There's variance in rolls of the dice, but it's mostly luck and adds little strategy, so it's only fun for the politics (ever tried 1v1 Risk? Boring). Lux Delux (Risk computer game) is more fun because it allows you to choose from a wide variety of maps, giving it a similar appeal to Dominion (trying to figure out which countries are best, where to stockpile troops and how many, etc).

Or maybe the simplest example: some people want to figure out how to solve a Rubik's cube on their own; others prefer improving their speed.

[1]: You might nitpick that Dominion actually has similarly few strategies but much more varied starting conditions; either way, the main attraction is figuring out which strategy to use this time around.

I'm not too familiar with the inner workings of Intel ME. Have you verified that setting the HAP bit is effective with the ME code removed? If so, then that is obviously the way to go. However, if the code that interprets the HAP bit and shuts down the ME is removed (as well as everything else not necessary for the computer to run), which option is actually safer, HAP or code removal?
Following your model, then 'innovation' at the big five will slow down and there will be greater incentive for people to create new start-ups... and the cycle will continue.
The non-core vocabulary of English is closer to French, but that's the only similarity.

Phonetically, French is quite different from English (equally stressed syllables, no diphthongs, nasalized vowels, unaspirated stops, uvular r).

The only problem with pronouncing German might be its ch (ç or x) and r (which varies with accent). It's also easier to work out how to pronounce a German word from its spelling.

As someone with much more experience developing software than experience interviewing for positions, I find the whole fizz buzz interview style perplexing. Internally I am thinking 'why the hell are you asking me these questions when you could be asking me far more interesting ones?' The answer is likely that they didn't read my resume, so maybe what the best interviewers have in common is that they read candidates' resumes before the interview.

It's very difficult to maintain momentum in software in general if you've spent so long outside of it interviewing that you haven't worked on anything of value in months.

>I'm not here to win internet points, believe whatever you want. It is a fact that money is being laundered.

If you can't document it, it's not a fact.

If the claims you make are as pervasively known as you claim, it would be simple to provide a source.

I'm starting to think that the internet is starting to have significant effects on our culture, in that people think it's your opponent's job to discredit whatever claim you throw out into the ether rather than your job to prove it is accurate.
Settlers of Catan is practically M.U.L.E. refined. You start by buying land, then the land bears resources. When you sell to other players, you can ask any price you want. You build up by laying down roads, towns and cities, tech up with random development cards. The most common dice result - 7 - is the Thief, which lets the current player rob any other for half of their resources rounded down.

If you liked M.U.L.E., you will love Settlers of Catan.

Spanish may have less complicated grammar but the FSI may think French is easier for native English-speakers in particular because a huge amount of English words are French-derived. That gives you thousands of vocabulary words that you don't need to study very hard to understand. Recall that Normandy conquered England in 1066 and that is where Middle English came from.

The point of investing in startups is not to get better returns, it’s to get different returns. If you already have a ton of money invested in stocks, diversifying a bit by throwing some capital into startups is not a bad idea in case the market tanks.

So no, not analytic related and not gender related.
Can you define what you mean by not spending a lot of resources on Mining?

A significant part of the world’s GDP is in mining and mining and its subsidiary industries (manufacturing for example could not exist without mining) contributes something like 60-70% of the world’s GDP.

We do not have vast excess supply. There are likely many deposits left to be found but it’s widely accepted that the easy resources have been found and we must go deeper to find more. Exploration over the last couple of years has not been invested in and the trove of known resources has been dwindling.

Mining space is impractical due to costs (there are a lot of cost savings to still be had on Earth).

> ...universities preparing people for academia...

I don't think there are many university programs explicitly designed to prepare people for academia. Where it happens, it's mostly just a case of people teaching what they know.

This, of course, ignores the possibility that "learn[ing] the scientific basis of a subject" is not useful in an industrial career.

D&D and the like remain popular, though the latest craze are “RPGs in a box” which require less of the planning / time suck of a good campaign.

There is a board game company that is very popular & uses Kickstarter a lot, called “Cool Mini or Not”, which reminds me a bit of the kids in Stranger Things. There are a variety of excellent minister miniature dungeon crawlers (Zombicide Black Plague for feeling like super heroes vs zombies, Arcadia Quest for PvP) or strategy games (Blood Rage), or tactical combat/thematic games (The Others, which is an all vs. one game of corruption and redemption tactical combat and horror elements like Stranger Things or IMO the Buffy spinoff Angel).

There are also some other great RPGs in a box like TIME Stories, Descent, and Star Wars Imperial Assault (the latter two are nearly the same system , all vs. One style gameplay). The big excitement however is lately about Gloomhaven, which might rise to top game on BoardGameGeek next year (and deservedly).

I actually have a "whitelist" in advance of things that I'm allowed to procrastinate on. HN is on the whitelist, as well as Indie Hackers and Twitter (my Twitter is more a chore than entertainment).

Other things were calming games like Transport Giant, Stardew Valley, Recettear. Some TV series too, mostly cartoons like Futurama and Adventure Time. Don't do Rick & Morty, too addictive.

That way, even when I'm wasting time, I feel somewhat satisfied with the entertainment I get. A lot of entertainment doesn't actually raise your "fun" bar, YouTube being one of them.
One must disagree with this. It doesn't matter what the technology is, if one has the appropriate mindset and enough years under the belt, it will be picked up.

What matters in terms of better value is whether or not one can understand the problems space and find an appropriate solution for it. All sorts of solution space solutions can be used, some of which are better than others. The point is to try and keep it simple enough for the user, irrespective of how difficult it might be for the IT guy.
