Very good write up, I was thinking about robotic system which replaces battery by itself for any vehicle provided OEM's provide the automatic battery replacement feature in it.

It really works in many use cases in India, but not thought about the other part - Business. This article explains that well. I know Sun mobility is already working on it along tie up with OEMs, I can see the way they are hiring robotics engineers. And it looks like a very good business considering future electric cars, I am sure about users but skeptical about the profit.
They should start paying federal taxes as soon as the federal government allows them to become a state. Until that happens, they’d be getting taxed with no representation.

But they are US Citizens still. And the federal government subsidizes plenty of infrastructure into areas that pay relatively little federal tax, because we as a country care about fellow citizens’ well-being.
Well, you could google it and find out. Searching for "homeless people want to be homeless" gave me a bunch of good articles. NPR had people who were or had been homeless call in and say why they preferred the streets over shelters [1]. The summary is:

- many shelters are crowded, noisy, and unsafe

- some shelters make you stand in line at 4:30pm, which makes getting a job difficult, since many require you to stay past that time.

- you have an undiagnosed mental illness

- you are a military veteran with PTSD and enclosed spaces make you fearful

- you need a dog for protection and many shelters don't take animals

- some people feel judged at religious shelters

- many shelters require you to not be drunk or high, but many homeless are addicts.

I helped out a place that housed people just out of prison (private room plus meals for $50/month) plus food pantry and clothes, and the woman who ran it said that a lot of the homeless men that they interacted with were homeless because they were running away from their responsibilities. So those people would not want to go to a shelter because people would tell them what to do, and the whole point of being homeless was to get out of people/life telling you what to do.

Hi David, very impressive of your notes, especially in this knowledge-intense machine learning conference, the way you organize diverse topics and have short summaries about them seems like a very useful skill to have. Do you have any methods/tips that you can share about your note-taking skills?
That is not correct. The 2015 order does in fact apply to wireless carriers:

Consistent with the 2010 Order, today’s Order applies its rules to the consumer-facing service that broadband networks provide, which is known as “broadband Internet access service”
(BIAS) and is defined to be:
A mass-market retail service by wire or radio that provides the capability to transmit
data to and receive data from all or substantially all Internet endpoints, including any
capabilities that are incidental to and enable the operation of the communications
service, but excluding dial-up Internet access service. This term also encompasses any
service that the Commission finds to be providing a functional equivalent of the service
described in the previous sentence, or that is used to evade the protections set forth in

> Emergent phenomena are real, common, and not, in general, particularly mysterious

I have no issue with emergent phenomena. It's just that whether the phenomenon is emergent or not is irrelevant to the question at hand.

For instance, let's say the brain 'system' responsible for color perception is distributed all throughout the human brain in such a way that it would be impossible to formulate any hierarchical conceptual structure which could account for it. It's just an emergent consequence of a ton of other complex stuff going on.

Okay, now if you recall my previous point about reconciling the experience of redness vs clusters of neurons—you can hopefully see that the above makes no difference to the problem. It's just a different mapping of a physical structure onto subjective experience, without accounting for the fundamental difference between the subjective experience and the physical structure.

(This answer is less thorough, but I did take my time with what I wrote previously. If you read it more closely I think you'll see the difference in what we're each talking about here.)

The wealthiest among all my investors (who are also self-made) never raised VC for their startups. All bootstrapped.

Too many founders pour their life into a project and end up making less than their investors do from the sale of their own company.

We don't know. If someone manages to find an algorithm to do such things, it'll be helpful for that. It's as if we're rediscovering the computer itself from the beginning and we're still not sure what it's good for, but the things we've managed to find algorithms for it appears to be really really good at.

Basically, don't worry too much about it, unless you wish to hunt for such algorithms yourself.

The one thing it's definitely promising for is simulating quantum mechanics... something classical computers are very bad at, and has serious practical use. For this, they will always be very useful.

It seems like this is a kind of a loophole in the SEC's accredited investor rules. These people aren't accredited investors, yet a private company like Uber is able to take an investment from them by giving them options beforehand.

Perhaps private companies should be forbidden from allowing the exercise of options for non-liquid stock by non-accredited investors, and then also forbidden from requiring un-exercised options that they have granted to non-accredited investors to be forfeited at the end of an exercise window so as to not be ludicrously unfair to the people holding unexercisable options.
I’ve come to the point where I have stopped bookmarking all together. Well, at least on my home, personal computers.

Bookmarking is overwhelming. I tried Pocket (the bookmarking tool) a few years ago and I would just bookmark everything I came across that I found interesting but not get around to reading anything at all out.

It’s not efficient if you would like to read a book online, but now I do all the online reading once I come across it or not at all.

India. I live in Mumbai and use Airtel; apparently the plan I was using got discontinued, so I'm going to bump myself up to the 3 GiB/day for 30 days plan at ₹550 (~€7.5). This is considered expensive here, with cheaper options like Jio readily available.
That only helps you backup your own data. Github (or rather Git) facilitates distributed backup.
Cognito is for authenticating users while AWS SSO is for authenticating employees. Users don’t usually need to be stored in Active Directory, authenticate to other services with SAML, or assigned groups to control access. AWS SSO should also have better integration with AWS IAM.

> The main point here is that there's absolutely nothing innovative about BTC anymore

That demonstrates a fundamental lack of understanding of what makes bitcoin valuable, and what separates it from all other competitors. Bitcoin node decentralization is what keeps it censorship resistant, and in bitcoin node decentralization, it is ahead of any and all competitors. It likely has more fully validating nodes than all other cryptos combined, and by some margin.

There are a lot of people that want to sell you on a great new thing. Until they can get 150,000+ fully validating nodes to support their technology, they will be nothing more than a mildly distributed inefficient database. What is innovative about bitcoin is that it is the only real cryptocurrency, because it is the only one that isn't controlled directly by its creators, and also maintains its decentralization. The only ones that are even close are ethereum and litecoin, and ethereum is beholden to a single person who dictates changes to the network. Litecoin is simply a clone of bitcoin with minor changes to its implementation, but has a fraction of the fully validating nodes.
This. It'd be a hell of a project for Amazon, considering that they've done nothing in this direction as far as anyone knows, while Google has been working at it for a decade+, and is still a long way from a full replacement.
> I can do the same argument about fiat money. What about the tax dodgers crossing borders with suitcases full of cash that will end up in some offshore bank never to be seen again?

It's a felony to do that with more than $10,000 and if you wanted to move any serious amount of money (millions) you'd need a small truck. You risk getting robbed moving that kind of cash.

>>`The banking system, for all its issues, makes collecting and moving large amounts money around very difficult`
>That is why cryptocurrencies exist in the first place!

You're missing my point; It's a good thing that moving large amounts of money is difficult. I can't see any legitimate reason why someone would want to move tons of money around, just write a cheque or do a bank transfer of some sort.

If bitcoin becomes the new currency, you aren't any more free than you were under the banks, you're just beholden to a different master - the people who maintain the cryptocurrency networks.
Right, so if there is substantially less tax burden why don't we see rapid development and prosperity?
“Fiat” usually implies something different from the way you are using it. No government has issued Bitcoin via fiat, there are no treasuries or armies backing it.

Gold is a tangible commodity. I’ve been in the cryptoasset space for a while and I’m still not exactly sure how to cleanly classify it.
Aren't you tired of rehashing the NPfIT failure, literally decades since it started and even 4 years since the press last covered it? It's just become a talking-point, a right-wing meme.

Conflating IT mistakes (10bn over 20 years, 500m per year - peanuts, from a government perspective) with the entire NHS expenditure, is just misleading propaganda. This is why we can't have a civil debate on what the NHS should and should not provide: the fixation on cost-cutting and its opposite knee-jerk reactions stifle any attempt at reasoning about actual problems.

Avid fish user since last 3 years. On feature I miss from bash is the `sudo !` to re-run previous command as sudo. Last time I checked fish didn't offer an equivalent. Either that or something similar will be useful
Just... no. If you actually have to understand it (rather than, say, peer-review it), then make a honest attempt to understand it right from the beginning. For instance, suppose it takes you 30 minutes to skim through a chapter of a math book. Then you've wasted 30 minutes you could've spent understanding the chapter's first section.
It annoys me to be forced to give me email address.

On the other hand, I find questions such as "how responsive are people to emails/Slack over the weekends and after 6pm?" utterly loathsome.

It is immediately obvious that the question is just a veiled attempt at asking about the work-life balance.

From the perspective of both the interviewee and the interviewer, I much rather prefer the more straightforward question "how's the work life balance here?", with the expectation that the interviewer is honest enough to engage in an healthy, open discussion on the topic.

If I am not wrong, Sun Mobility manufactures the Reva brand of vehicles of so not surprising.

But, is battery swapping a good business? I doubt it because people balk at the idea of taking stuff on bhade pe, specially if they have a long time use.

I have no doubt on EVs and related business will boom sometime but not in recent future. Even a network for repairing network which allows companies to offload their capacity to service cars will work wonders.

But, obviously as person in IT we have no idea:

a. How to get huge amount of loans like these conglomerates . Look at Reliance they got Jio running with nearly $1.5 billion in debt. Now they are building a battery unit, which again should be financed using debt.

b. How to get into the market

c. How to calculate profit :)

Meet the Man Who Flies Around the World for Free (2015)
When I was in kindergarten in the late '50s, I pranked my class with electricity. I had a big fat electrolytic capacitor that I charged up before bringing it to school, and a screwdriver.

I don't remember the exact voltage I charged the cap up to, but it was definitely only a few volts.

So for show and tell, I explained how electricity worked, and then I grabbed one of the cap's terminals in each hand and started twitching and shaking like I was being electrocuted! Finally I somehow managed to break free, took a deep breath, and told my classmates "don't be as foolish as me."

To protect them from the danger, I then took the screwdriver blade and shorted it across the capacitor's terminals, with a big spark and a loud bang! Clearly, this cap had enough power to kill you.

I told my classmates, "Now it's safe. I discharged it. You can touch it now."

And they did. Nobody was harmed.

School was great back in those days. When I got to third grade and I wanted to etch a printed circuit board, I told my teacher I needed a tank of nitric acid, and she got it for me! But that is a story for another day.
Investing in a particular set of tools has been really critical for me -- once I found that I liked the flexibility and power of latex, I put effort into simplifying the process of using it.

So, for instance, I made some macros for commands that I use frequently, and a put together a latex template that includes the packages and basic structure of documents I write. Otherwise, just practice! I forced myself to write notes during class in latex when I took information theory earlier in grad school and that helped a lot.

Hope this helps. If I think of anything else I'll be sure to come back and post!
If they throttle due to load, then they should simply throttle all load equally, or in accordance with consumer preferences (e.g. per-line prioritization of VoIP above torrents, but not, say, Comcast VoIP above Google Voice). When the network is full, every customer should get their fair fraction of the network to do with as they please.

You cater to people who have money. You're describing something that price discriminates and doesnt at the same time.

Forced to be there X amount of time. This is a reduction of freedom, which sounds like reinstating the bureaucratic nightmare you talk of.

Means-testing. The homeless aren't going to have the paperwork to show lack of means. Remember, these people probably have no ID or anything. The census allows them to highlight landmarks where they "frequent", along with voting homeless allowed similar.

> But other than that, I don't want a lot of extra requirements tacked on.

And what you stated is already too much.

What needs done: if you're homeless, you get a small room. It's yours. It won't be much. We can at least afford that as a population.
