One thing that drastically simplified my life and removed an incredible amount of stress was getting rid of my car. Since graduating college in 2010, I have moved apartments ~13 times and lived in 4 different cities (Baltimore, D.C., Denver, Breckenridge, and ~NYC). Initially, I needed a car to drive to work, but then I got a new job which allowed me to walk to work. I still kept my car because it was already paid off, but it was an incredible source of stress for a bunch of reasons:

- What day of the week is it? Do I need to move the car for street cleaning today? (If I get this wrong, I get a parking ticket).

- Did I remember to lock the car and put all of the windows up? (I once thought that all of the windows were up not realizing that one of the back windows was open a few inches and my car was broken into).

- What do I have to do to register my car in this new city? How much will it cost and when can I take an entire day off work to go do it? Can I even complete all of the required steps in one day?

- The car is making a strange sound. I better get it to a mechanic. How do I find a good mechanic? How much will it cost to get it fixed? That feels like a really high price, should I get a second opinion? Where do I find a second mechanic? When am I able to take off work to bring the car to the mechanic?

- I have to fly out of town for work/pleasure. Where do I park my car while I'm gone. Parking at the airport is really expensive, but maybe the best option? Can I leave it parked on the street? What are the parking rules for my neighborhood?

- Car insurance. Am I getting a good deal? Do I have to do anything when I move addresses and/or states? Am I covered if a friend borrows my car? etc, etc

- Costs associated with gas, insurance, maintenance, loan...

I had a huge amount of anxiety from constantly worrying about the cost associated with owning a car and the required time to maintain it. Eventually, my car got old enough that I couldn't justify putting more money into it and I sold it for a nominal amount to CarMax. I should have done it sooner. It was an interesting transition to not owning a car, but was overall incredibly liberating. I had removed an entire source of stress from my life and haven't looked back since. I don't plan to buy another car anytime soon.

To get around now, I rely much more heavily on public transportation, biking, walking, and Lyft/Uber, Car2Go, non-profit carshare programs, etc. I also don't hesitate to rent a car from Enterprise/etc if I need one for an errand, vacation, etc. Being able to give the car back when I'm done with it and literally not having to worry about anything is quite amazing.

Disclaimer: I realize that some people need a car to get to work or for other important reasons. I'm not saying that owning a car is bad or encouraging anyone else to go sell their car to CarMax tonight. I'm just sharing my story about removing a source of stress that I had in my personal life.
There's a contrast between the comments here about Feynman, and the author's example of birthdays. The birthday data is totally random, and the author's assert this is the sort of thing mathematicians enjoy. It strikes me that Wolfram does this too, he'll demo something by saying "let's get some data" and then generate a big pile of random numbers.

I usually space out at that point. I understand the utility of it, but I find it worthless in most cases. I'd rather understand a concrete example well, then check my understanding by trying the random case, then try to think of some clever or experience based edge case or counterexample.

I think Feynman, especially later in life, probably had the gift of jumping straight to step 3: he understood that his most valuable contribution could often be simply expanding the space of possible examples. And random doesn't really get you the whole space, and certainly doesn't get you the interesting parts of the space.
Sounds a lot like a startup. The question is going to be, "will they scale?"
The research has already been funded through taxes. The money made from journal subscriptions goes to the publisher, not to the researchers or their institutions. The reason why researchers publish in such expensive journals is historical (the journal has a good reputation and is thus widely read), not because they are looking to fund their research.
Kreps, Game Theory and Economic Modeling has a nice overview and contextualization as I recall. I also really like Brian Skyrm's little books (Evolution of the Social Contract and Stag Hunt) for an introduction to the evolutionary side.

Note, those aren't textbooks. They're applied/context works with introductions, and I think they're better for developing intuition before getting into a textbook.

For a really accessible textbook that (as I recall) isn't as math-heavy as some others, Morrow, Game Theory for Political Scientists.

Do you understand what poverty being a relative measure means? If Alabama were its own country, the poverty line would be much lower than the US poverty line.

Maybe they should move somewhere less elitist. SF is overrated and overpriced.
I think bitcoin's value really boils down to being a quasi-legal forex medium - bypassing international sanctions and state regulations.

That is a reasonable argument to hold coins if the expectation is increased adoption. However, when sales are restricted for illegally bypassing sanctions (eg US) or enabling capital flight (eg China), we will see the market fall to near-zero because bitcoin is not a currency.
Not ignore...apply very judiciously with careful consideration of the context and assumptions.

I don't refute your points. they may be valid. they may not. I merely urge reflection that actual human behavior that directly contradicts economic models.

As to Friedman:
> "there is one and only one social responsibility of business–to use it resources and engage in activities designed to increase its profits so long as it stays within the rules of the game, which is to say, engages in open and free competition without deception or fraud."

How's that going for the planet? While he dismisses social issues as "catchwords" we are now living with the very real repercussions.

>"The stockholders or the customers or the employees could separately spend their own money on the particular action if they wished to do so. "

This implies that organization doesn't add any multiplier and is merely a sum of its funds. Even the market sees beyond that argument by valuing companies at multiples of its cash and assets. So he's ignoring or discounting the disproportionate impact that an organization can have far exceeding the sum of the individual actors.

> "civil servants ... must be elected through a political process.

I wonder what Mr. Friedman would think of the influence of corporate funds in the US political decision of late. Seems to blur his lines quite a bit.

>"the great virtue of private competitive enterprise–it forces people to be responsible for their own actions and makes it difficult for them to "exploit" other people for either selfish or unselfish purposes."

When I was 17 I read Atlas Shrugged, too, and thought every individual could succeed on their own actions and effort. Then I lived in reality.

LINQ is not just for SQL. Say if your LINQ queries are but simply `where obj.prop == val`, you can have a Redis LINQ provider hot-swapped in.

Even without the use of other backends it may still be beneficial. The "abstraction layer" need not to be thin as you explained here. You have the power to reinterpret and optimize your query. This allows visitor patterns (and maybe Roslyn-style analyzers) to kick in in the symbolic form, not just strings (indeed there's SQL parser, but again why? why limit it to SQL?)
Alright. Another person comes to you and says, the larger societal problem is that ambitious people will ignore or put up with a world of shit as long as they get what they are after.

Who's right?

To elaborate - Salma's ambition was to make the movie, she could've quit 100 times, but instead she put up with 100 cases of sexual harassment (100 being an artbirary large number here)

Harvey's ambition was to have sexual relations with every woman that needed him to do something for her, that he found attractive. He ignored everyone else's needs but his own in the process of fulfilling his ambition.

Seeing it from the angle of ambition, both people could've done things differently but didn't, because they were preoccupied with achieving their goals, more than achieving let's say... harmony in themselves and the world... Is that the larger societal problem? That our ambitions are small and selfish?
> Is also false since 2016 had more sea ice than 2015.

2016 was said to be the record low maximum last but a correction put it above 2015 for just 3.000 km^2. And the extent was 14.52 MILLION km^2

So, perhaps, as NSIDC writes, Arctic sea ice maximum at record low for third straight year

I think it means "dynamic," in the sense that when you call a method, the object's class is looked up and the class's method list is looked up and the methods' implementations are looked up and the class is even given a chance to handle the lookup itself. It doesn't just support reflection, it reflects pervasively. This basically corresponds to what we usually mean when we say a "dynamic language."
And even if it seemed to you that they weren't doing much, you'd need to know them very very well to say that with any confidence.
Their user base includes both patrons and creators. Obviously patrons would say they don't want a price increase, all other things being equal, but they might be okay with it knowing that increase goes to creators. And asking a handful of high earning creators could have given them good feedback on why it's a bad idea.
That's somewhat semantics. The Effects of Nuclear Weapons (1964) for example lists types of Radiological weapons.

There's a difference between having some platforms requiring personal information and having Internet access predicated on everyone knowing your identity.

For example, I want my bank to know my email address, phone number, and physical address because I want to receive fraud notifications, to make telephone banking transactions, and to receive paper statements.

I do not want forums that I shitpost on to have any of that information, nor do I want it to be written into law that any service I access over the Internet is required to ask for and log that information.

This makes sense. Electric delivery trucks have been available for decades. Battery powered "milk floats" used to be big in the UK. UPS and the USPS may go for this. Both use their own semi-custom vehicles, and those vehicles spend much of their time stationary while the driver gets out and delivers.

UPS is already doing that, but not with these guys.[1] There are other electric van startups, but they have bullshit no-shipping-product startup sites.[2][3] The real player seems to be Damlier, which is electrifying the Mercedes line of vans.[3]

"Many of you lost patrons, and you lost income."

Because lost income is as bad as increased revenues are good, and people lost income. Patreon aren't in a field where they get to experiment like that without affecting people's income, and that's always going to lead to pushback.
So, I read it, and it doesn't say anything to indicate that nudity (whether a little or a lot) in a movie is harmful, but that the particular nudity in this particular movie wasn't the product of the creators artistic vision but power plays by a funder, and that the harmful stemmed explocitly from the manipulative personal power dynamics, not the nudity.
There is a difference between the world that has no jobs for people not in a handful of professions because they have each been replaced by different, specialized AI/machinery and not yet human level general AI. The not yet human level general AI will become human and then post human level very, very quickly and, so long as it is friendly, humanity wins all the things.

The danger will be in the journey from the state you describe to the end goal - once we are there feeding people will be no issue and everyone will be obsolete anyway.

Hiring a lawyer is important if you are going to be contracting with a large enough company though.

I think Mastodon (and any decentralized social media) needs to be easier to host. The thing is relatively a beast to get working, whether you try and install the dependencies separately on a distribution that's not Ubuntu (IIRC) or if you're not familiar with Docker. I host quite a few instances of things for myself but I gave up on Mastodon (I wasn't trying that hard, to be fair) after trouble getting it working behind the same reverse proxy everything else is behind.

If we could get a cross-platform, statically linked, near zero configuration social media tool where I essentially just have to forward a few ports, that'd be fantastic for me and I'd hope many others.

The biggest draw of something decentralization is being able to own and control all my data and having some stranger on the Internet rather than BigCorp own it is not meaningfully different to me.

I doubt it was the feedback that they heard. I think it was the money.

I’m willing to bet that this rollback is because Patreon leadership and Sr. Managers woke up Monday morning, took a look at their metrics and KPIs and nearly had a heart attack. It probably looks like a nice upward trend for a long time then a massive spike down after the announcement.

>Many of you lost patrons, and you lost income.

I think Jack at Patreon fundamentally misunderstood the nature of the relationship between patron and creator. A lot of patrons feel like their payment is a donation instead of paying a subscription or water bill. Yes, some patrons+creators have a quid-pro-quo arrangement where payments unlocks content or extra services. However, many payments are just "appreciation" type of money. That is a fragile relationship and it was wrong to tamper with it by charging extra fees to the patron.

Jack was/is a creator himself so he should have known this dynamic and therefore predicted the bad outcome ahead of time.

Ideally, when you start a multi-sided platform, you want to get the economics correct from the very beginning so you can leave it unchanged. (E.g. Apple iTunes charges 30% since 2008 and it's stayed that way.) However, if you have to readjust the percentages, it's preferable to take it out on the sellers' side and not the buyers' side. When ebay started, the fees for sellers were ~3.25%. Over the last 10 years, it has crept up in increments to ~10%. All of those price increases were absorbed by the sellers.

If Patreon needs more than 5% to make the numbers work for a sustainable business, they need to take it from the creators and not the patrons. Patreon was riding on the "good will" of patrons making voluntary payments. It was a terrible miscalculation to destroy that good will and nickel & dime patrons with extra fees.
My best guess would be 7 months ago (~ May 11th 2017), since most comments were made at that time.
But the increase was going to the company Patreon not the creators. That was mostly the point - they need/want to make more money.
Ok, I understand that this is trying to be decent and reasonable people here, in cases where it's truly an accident of including some GPL code. Shit happens, clean it up.

If I were to do this with commercial code or assets, would they be so flexible in working with me, or do they go straight to shakedown? I'll give ye all a hint: go look at the MPAA and RIAA's views on that.

I remembered when friends were back in the Napster times shook down for a few grand. Same with Bittorrent's earlier years. There was no amicable "Plz quit this and were good". In fact, they've lobbied multiple times for laws to permanently disconnect after X copyright claims.

So, why should the Open Source community be so damned forgiving when we're surrounded by entities who'd eat every last one of us for lunch if we so much as accidentally used a copyrighted resource?

(I'm thinking no further than Netflix ripping off a photographer https://petapixel.com/2017/11/27/netflix-stole-vhs-cassette-... . Good luck for an Australian citizen to navigate international copyright law to become whole in this regard. )

Yes. At which point, the pilots will see what is going on, take manual control, gather data for ATC's inevitable response, and use traditional instruments to navigate the airplane to a safe landing.
