About that mousse... One mental changed that helped me was to become a foodie. Eating used to be just a chore (simple fuel). Now I cook and eat because it's fun.

Also, people are so clever now, finding recipes like your mousse has been a great joy. I now mostly prefer the more wholesome alternatives. For instance, that mousse is a huge hit, and most people wouldn't know it's non-dairy.
I agree with you bug bounty programs for small companies/products aren't competing with the black market, but big ones like Apple, Uber, and Facebook certainly are. I was really only referring to these large folks. I agree that an XSS bug on AcmeBizSoftCo doesn't have much of a black market.

To take your FB Ad Manager example...just recently there was bug that allowed people to start campaigns for free (by somehow charging the bill to unrelated accounts). A bug like that has a small half-life but if it lets someone use up a million dollars in targetted ads over one weekend for free I would think you could still get quite a bit for it on a black market.
Private land sales happen between voluntary buyers and sellers. From that perspective, prices are fair.
If we figure out better fundamentals, then it's not a given that eventually successful incarnation of those better fundamentals will be Bitcoin. If Ethereum or Bitcoin Cash or Litecoin or Monero or rlpb_coin or whatever else becomes the cryptocurrency of the future and becomes worth billions, then everyone who bought bitcoin at $10000 or $20000 per BTC will have wasted their money. If the concept of the lightning network is the next big thing, but for whatever reason Bitcoin Cash happens to fit work with it better, then again you lose your bet/investment.
Similar services still exist in America, though they're not as widespread as they once were. I think this is mostly because there aren't a lot of services that come to your home anymore other than package delivery.

As recently as three years ago I lived somewhere where the dry cleaner could go into your house and hang your dry cleaning on a doorknob and take your outgoing bag of laundry/dry cleaning. And if you live in an apartment/condo building of a certain level, very often the concierge will deliver packages and groceries into your home.

Most pet-sitters have this access, too.
Sounds like a really horrible idea. The thing I want the least is installing another messaging app in addition to FB messenger (which sucks, btw), Skype, Viber, WhatsApp , Google Hangouts, Slack and telegram. Believe me or not, I have a few conversations going on in every one of them.

I don't understand how anyone thinks the tax cuts will have an impact on hiring or wages. Companies are already making record profits so if they had a need for hiring people they could afford it already. They also could afford to increase wages now if they saw a need. The tax cut money will probably go into stock buybacks or dividends.
Because renewables, like wind and solar, and thermal power generation are completely different technologies. There is very little in the way of transferrable knowledge and manufacturing tooling between the two.

I wouldn't be surprised if someone in the IT department explained to him that they are using some kind of consensus based mechanism (zookeeper, etcd, consul etc), that works just like a blockchain, to manage the bloomberg infrastructure. He then goes on tv and tells the world that bloomberg is using The Blockchain. Just wild speculation but its seems plausible to me.

Edit: a quick google lead me to Bloomberg's consul deployment cookbook: https://github.com/bloomberg/consul-cluster-cookbook/blob/ma...

I am sure they will at minimum agree on a tax cut for high incomes, eliminate the estate tax and deal another blow to Obamacare. That would mean all policy goals have been achieved. 100% success.
Finally, this one!
Yep. Did school in Boston for several years, almost exactly the same as my life in Cincinnati and Columbus except more expensive. There are definitely pros and cons to any decision about where to live, but your life in most places is always going to be “work, go home, pay for stuff, spend time doing fun stuff with friends when possible.” The only valid exception is if you’re working in a field and position where you truly need to be exposed to the absolute highest levels of industry, e.g. NYC for finance, D.C. for law and politics, SV for tech. But the people who are truly operating at the level where that matters are a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a %, and if Warren Buffet can work from Nebraska I assume that’s true even for many people who are at that level.
IIRC if we track the number of downloads or songs played, even spotify and youtube outcompete torrents by a huge margin, downloaded torrents are just not that popular for music nowadays compared to streaming. The legal services took over most of the mindshare and volume of music distribution, most of the people who used napster back then now get their music from a streaming service, not on a torrent.

The way I saw it, he was condemning bitcoin in general, not market making on bitcoin specifically. Even clearing has risk - admittedly not market risk, but significant amounts of credit risk (that's why people pay for it).

More relevantly, because employment costs are pre-tax (compensation is a deductible business expenses), a tax rate cut for corporate income can never make more money available to pay workers (whether existing workers getting raises or more people being hired.)

The ways you increase workers take home pay through tax reform are:

(1) reduce taxes workers pay on labor income (either income taxes or employee-share payroll taxes), or

(2) reduce taxes businesses pay for hiring workers (employer share of payroll taxes).

The latter is also how you increase before-tax employee pay through tax reform, since for the same total cost the employer can pay a higher nominal wage.
I worked briefly in Toyota (as an operator: Toyoda Iron Works/Toyotetsu) sub-manufacturing and I'm a developer now. I agree completely.

What might be more suited is operations development. It's quite similar to DevOps, as is, with DevOps just having been adapted more explicitly to software.

This is not nitpicking. This is actually quite important. The entire AI hype rides on such irresponsible analogies. These analogies completely obscure the actual state of the art and fuel some outrageous expectations (not to mention the singularity cult).

Ketosis is the medical condition. It occurs when your body metabolizes fat for energy instead of glucose.
As the original article states, if you're sure that the concept is really going to be a big thing but you don't have a way to pick out the future winner, then investing proportionally in all of them can be highly profitable - as in the example of the dotcom bubble, if you invested in all of the IPOs, it'd eventually be very profitable; most of your investments are in losers, but the few winners make up for them.
I'll be booking my yearly physical soon, so I'll ask for a test then.

I thought the multi was 4000 and I occasionally take 2 of the supplements, but usually 1. Maybe the double strength next time...
More specifically, it allows one to short with limited downside. There are some exchanges that provide naked short positions in Bitcoin, but those have theoretic infinite downside and your broker will force you to liquidate at a loss at a certain point.

With futures, however, you can put together positions that will provide a known limit on your downside for short positions. This provides a more appealing avenue for shorts to get in with much less risk.
Ok, as someone who pledges a few dollars to many creators, this sucks. I also haven't seen any big improvements to their platform featurewise; I've been repeatedly asking for email digests since they took over Subabble and they keep replying with, "Great idea. We'll pass it along." So no idea what they need more money for. I'll probably be stopping my pledges after trying to discuss this with the creators I support (and Patreon but they probably won't say much).
> Binding arbitration and non-competes, are both disgusting anti-business, anti-American, anti-worker, anti-innovation, anti-rights that need to be killed.

Agreed. Here's how I look at it:

If a company really screws you over, you can sue. It's a lot of time and money, but it's worth it for a big problem. But what if the problem is small?

If I get screwed out of $5 by a dodgy company, I won't bother to sue. But if they've done the same to a lot of people, a class action lawsuit makes it worth some lawyer's time to go after them.

Arbitration clauses destroy that. Without class action, we need much more vigorous government intervention. Failing that, consumers lose the trust in the marketplace, harming commerce and making everybody poorer. And we'd likely see more proactive regulation as well, reducing innovation.
Patreon has just updated their blog with the rationale for the change: https://blog.patreon.com/updating-patreons-fee-structure/

Unfortunately, changing the payment structure to what they're proposing - while easier to understand - removes any payment-processing value that Patreon was providing. Putting the friction back into these kinds of micro-donations.

Seems like a bad business move to me. The hard problem here was making micro-donations cost-effective, not creating a website where creators could host links to content.

Edit: The relevant paragraph.

> To do that, we need to move our payments system to treat your pledges like any other subscription service. In other words, we need a system that charges patrons at the time of their initial pledge, and on the anniversary of their pledge each month thereafter.

So every individual monthly pledge will result in a CC transaction now. I'm guessing in cases where two pledges fall on the same day Patreon will still do one CC transaction and pocket the $0.35 they saved?
> One interesting thing about software methodology that most people seem to like, such as testing and version control is that it prevents bad coders from screwing up a project too badly.

Effectively, these methodologies are a kind of bureaucracy. Besides self- propagation, the primary purpose of bureaucracy is to cover for incompetence. So testing and version control are (in part) a way to cover for incompetent coders.
That's huge! Thanks
I disagree on the "as fast as Chrome" part, in my synthetic (and unofficial) uibench test, Chrome is still faster than Firefox Quantum by a certain margin. (However I only did React and Preact test, other vdom engines are not tested)

I have an 8 cores, 16 threads Xeon E5-2660 CPU and 16 GB of RAM. And Quantum is behind Chrome. Maybe it's an issue on Windows 10 I don't know?
MP3s are so small compared to the rest of the internet now that there's a glut of shady websites that cater to people trying to get MP3s. Rings tones are a great example why someone with a Spotify account might google an mp3 for a song. Meanwhile you've got tons of semilegal mixes on Soundcloud and Mixcloud. Spotify and Apple Music is just convenience.

These sites also cater to the leaks scene. Every single hot album to drop recently was leaked 24-72 hours before dropping on "official" sources like Spotify. This makes even those people that have Spotify accounts look for MP3s.
I'm still skeptical about super-human-intelligence AI, now or within a few decades.

There just doesn't seem to be any evidence for this kind of development. In fact the only differences to 10 or 20 years ago, when people weren't bullish on this nonsense (my opinion) is that we have much more compute power now, and good results with deep learning. Deep learning is "just" (the quotes are big here) a search for a function that approximates a process of interest.

We are miles (more like multiple earth-circumferences) away from anything approaching general intelligence. And if that's not what is meant, then AI is already super-human in some domain of interests. But then it already was decades ago.

Of course, we'll keep getting increasingly incomprehensible and useful algorithms, although I believe we already reaped the low-hanging fruits and we are not going to 10x what we have now.

If I may venture a wild guess, progress towards general intelligence might come from learning more about our own cognition.
Go 1.10 Beta 1 is released
As a corollary to this, the cost per transaction also varies linearly with the price of BTC - the more useful BTC becomes for investors/speculators/as a store of value, the less useful it becomes as a tool for transactions.

On the other hand, the high valuation can only be justified by the expectation of it being a really good tool for transactions (or, alternatively, the greater fool theory) and becoming bad at transactions means it'll eventually become also a bad store of value; so a technical solution to transaction cost is highly needed.
Or in predictable locations. API keys as well. There's a ton of room for abuse.

Case: many Node native libraries are blocked off on NPM and issue warning messages if you try to install them via `npm install ...` — you will also find that there are a few closely-named packages to many popular ones in the hopes people will pull them down.
I spent many, many thousands of dollars on everything I needed -- and that's not including the tens of thousands my insurance covered. The vast, vast majority of the US population would not be able to afford this. I would very much support subsidizing medical care to a greater extent, but it's not just medical care. The diet (New Direction VLCD) I was on cost me $22 for a box of 7 shakes, of which I would have 3 per day -- $282/mo just for that. That alone puts it out of reach for many people, sadly.

Aside from just the economic side of it, it is exceptionally difficult to lose weight. It drove me to tears and severely impacted my mental state (despite also being treated for my mental illnesses) and that's even despite being very motivated to succeed. I don't look down on anyone looking for an easier route, whatever that may be; if I saw one, I would've taken it myself.
Since the graphs is Patreon's own blog post are so grossly misleading, I made my own: https://mneme.dedyn.io/shiny_users/ryan/patreon-fees/

Not surprisingly, the look nothing like Patreon's graphs. For any pledge of $4 or less (and probably a lot more than that), Patreon is now taking more of the pledge for themselves. Since this likely represents the vast majority of pledges, Patreon is effectively raising their prices without admitting that that's what they're doing.

attempting to mimic animals

That is harder than you might think. For example, the simplest animal with a nervous system, C. elegans worm has been simulated "only 20 to 30 percent of the way towards where we need to get" according to one of the OpenWorm project leaders. That's 302 neurons total.

Using a computer analogy, it's like struggling to build an abacus when our ultimate goal is to build a Core i7 processor.

rather than any totally new approach

It's not clear to me that we have any approach to achieve AGI. People like Ben Goertzel have worked on that for decades without much to show for it. Current deep learning methods have little to do with AGI, they focus on very narrow applications, by design.
