It all depends on the likelihood of risk:

If we were certain that hackers will get hold of all our online data and use it to completely compromise our identity and company we SHOULD pay hundreds of thousands of Dollars!

If we are worried that our wife will find some compromising information on Facebook then we should pay nothing and instead explain to her.

If insurance companies will use our data to raise their fees our protecting should be worth at least the difference.

If trump or some evil genius inside the NSA somehow turns the US into a dictatorship and use our data to to send our children to concentration camps (quite unlikely but not impossible) we should run to the bank and ask for as much credit as possible to save our privacy.

So to average the above risks we should probably pay >2% of our income for privacy. That would be 10% of military expenses.

As a non-SV insider, I was struck by something Vi Hart posted on Twitter recently[1]:

"When we were looking for funding or a home for our VR group, we were warned in private conversations against SO MANY funders and leaders within companies, by their equally powerful white dude colleagues. Often several separate warnings against the same dude. I KNOW YOU KNOW."

Sounds to me like the upper echelons know and don't care.

There are a few more parts that have to be made of metal depending on the type of action used by the firearm. At a minimum, you'd also need a metal bolt/breach face (the part that supports the rear of the cartridge) for any type of action. I'm also fairly confident that any springs used (the firing pin/striker/hammer needs one unless you want to fire it with a handheld mallet) in the design would have to be made of metal as well unless there are some composites I'm not aware of that match the properties of spring steel.

Adding that metal to a firearm doesn't add that much mass but those parts would increase the profile of the gun due to their size/shape/area covered in the eyes of a image sorting algorithm.
Nice work on this! :) Got me to click around a bit. A few comments (from a design background, so your mileage may vary):

- Digging the 'don't ask' section to your answers - I'm personally of the mindset that knowing what not to do is even more important than knowing what to do. Would love to see this section for every tile, but I know that's a lot of tiles....

- having inline quotes (and sources) from big names/articles would make this feel even more credible and a little less same-y, imo. Right now it's just one point of view - but having a quote from Larry Page or whoever would make me inclined to agree even more. (Also it'd be interesting to see what names pop up where...)

- Would drop the 'I'm relatively new' in your about blurb at the top and before your twitter - doesn't add anything of value to the statements. Launching this successfully already tells me that you've jumped over most of the early hurdles to this kind of a project, so don't undersell yourself.
The things that were way more popular in the States than in Japan include the Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64, and for anime, I think FLCL takes the crown by a very long margin.

I also find it quite surprising nobody else seems to mention this. I checked some other interviews, and it seems to be normal for him. This is probably the way people communicate within Facebook. I don't think it's fitting in front of Stanford students, and it definitely doesn't help bringing your message across.
Sure I could short Bitcoin, but it cost me nothing to speculate about a crash. I also make the assumption when I see the FOMO argument that the person has a stake in Bitcoin/Crypto Currency. Perhaps both of our assumptions are wrong?

I can think of one valid use of the Tweetstorm, which you haven't identified, and that's to associate Tweets on a single subject spread across time.

So, when live Tweeting from a conference or other event, using the plus button to add another tweet and group them together seems rather useful, and not necessarily driven by length limitations.
I use a hackintosh using 2x e5-2680 32 cores and 128gb. It took me $1,100 to put together. The E5s are v1 but still run great. I don't know of another way to get a cheap desktop with that much ram.
Sure, but there's a layer that emulates the linux syscalls. Though perhaps it's more appropriate to call it "translates" instead of emulate.
More so that argument relies on magic thinking. Unless there's good reason to believe that bitcoin will be the goto for tax avoidance it's just wishful thinking.

"But maybe in the future they'll be useful!"

My background is in math and information theory, not programming and fetishizing turning every idea I have into a technical implementation.

1) I don't see giving the future a legacy technical infra to deal with because relative to them, cave men from 2017 thought it would be "awesome."

2) I highly doubt there's going to be useful information that isn't already abstracted into news services (which keep records), academic works, etc. that can be culled from storing everyone's Facebook and Instagrams.

Why bother going to the beach? Oggle great-grandma's Instagram from 2019!

Like I said, religious endeavor to "live forever" by conceptualizing a way to "cheat death" is what this smells like. None of those people will have cheated death, and future humans would be under no obligation to keep it online. So why bother?
He was for FaceId in the abstract, but finds it doesn't work well in the concrete. But you can trust him, because he loves Apple kit.

Additional anecdata note: I was against FaceId in the abstract, but find it works incredibly well in the concrete. My early skepticism has disappeared completely.

I mean, I'm not saying he doesn't have issues with sunglasses and pool water reflection, but even trying to demonstrate the issue in a video it seemed to work a lot more often than he expected. I mean, he seemed to be surprised when it worked with "sunnies" and a hat repeatedly. I dunno.

I've definitely found FaceID to be much, much useful than TouchID was. I suspect that will be true for most people.

P.S. I know this is a video demonstrating the issue, but I wonder how much of his issue is caused by thinking of unlocking as a completely separate step. I just pretend my phone has no lock, and tap and swipe as needed.
I believe that Laforet's comparison is an i7 quad core iMac to 10 core Xeon W iMac Pro.

Cabel Sasser noted 41% improvement Mac Pro 6 core -> iMac Pro 10 core :

Speed. We tried compiling one of our meatier Xcode projects on the iMac Pro (10-core Xeon W, 3 GHz) vs. our standard Mac Pro (3.5 GHz Xeon E5, 6-core). Sure, the Mac Pro is old, but the iMac Pro compiled the project 41% faster. A pretty sincere boost.

My thinking for the Colorado mom-pop liquor store example is:

Texas is a state which allows beer (no liquor with an ABV above wine, I believe). Liquor stores there seem to do just fine with the caveat that they have to be "real liquor stores". Meaning, they can't just sell Coors and Budweiser, they have to specialize and carry the newest/hottest craft beers and employ a staff that can give recommendations. If I wanted a Miller High Life or a well known craft beer like Dogfishhead I would just go to HEB (large grocery store chain) otherwise if I wanted more of a selection I'd hit up a "real" liquor store.

So yeah, sure those mom-pop places will go out of business if they don't adapt. But, hey, if you run a shitty business, you should expect it to fail, right?

Analogously, if there are products that offer the same utility of FB/Google/etc with the added benefit of not farming out everyone's personal information, they should totally be bankrupted. They're making a worse product.

That being said, me arguing against your analogy falls apart here. Laws being passed in Colorado means, mom-pop's will be shuttered because other businesses will canabalize them with better services. In the case of passing laws for digital privacy, Google, et. al, would be condemned because their products would become illegal, not because there's a better competitor putting them out of business. That being said, I'm sure they'd have some sort of timeline to change their products to fit the laws. My albeit hazy understanding of the EU privacy shield laws leads me to believe that was the case there.

tl;dr: I'd personally be fine seeing Google/et. al being forced to adapt their products due to "privacy as a right" regulation changes. Within reason of course. I think they should have a period of time where they can make their products fit such regulations.

Honestly, I think the biggest driver is the type of developers you find now. With Open-Source being such a large area for almost every CS student and budding developer - the normal work environment is becoming very Linux-heavy.

A natural result is now the Devs working at Microsoft ALSO wish they could use the command line for everything in Windows. Thus Powershell, and things like AZ CLI becoming much better.

Vegas (and all Nevada) casinos are like another planet from a legal sense. Once you're on their property, they can do pretty much anything they want to you. You consented to all of it by going there. Kids? Their parents consented to it by bringing them there in the first place.

It's not like being scanned at an airport, which is a quasi-public place. You're on private, highly regulated, surveilled, scanned, documented, recorded, profiled, archived property.

Where things get fuzzy is if you're in a Vegas hotel without a casino.

>it looks like it's equating the function returned by L(W) with zero

There is a deeper point to be made here that I'm glad you brought up. Functions form a vector space (because they satisfy the axioms of vector behavior, basically because they can be added to each other and scaled by constant multiples). In linear algebra the symbol 0 often does double-duty as the zero vector, which is defined as the vector that doesn't change other vectors when it's added to them. So, here, when I write L(W) = 0 I'm implicitly invoking 0 = f_zero(x,t) = 0.

As for why "mapping to zero" has a physical basis, well, it's really more of a thing we're always guaranteed to be able to do. You can always subtract everything from the right-hand side of an equation! For example, Wikipedia introduces the one-dimensional wave equation as D_t^2 u = a^2 D_x^2 u. I can also write that as L[u] = D_t^2 u - q^2 * D_x^2 u = 0, so L[u] = 0. (In my notation, D_x is the derivative with respect to x, and D_x^2 is the second derivative with respect to x.)

The real question is why the addition thing works; if I had to try explaining it I would just say it's just fundamental that Maxwell's equations are linear, and when dealing with things that aren't, we usually approximate them with linear functions anyways[0]. That's how gravitational waves emerge from GR, by the way: at low energies the nonlinear equations behave nearly linear, and in that approximation the familiar wave equation falls out.

[0] If you zoom in to a small enough range in the graph of all but the most esoteric functions, the thing on your screen will look like a line. Try it, it's a good intuition to have.
Free speech is a defense for trademark infringement, especially non-commercial speech. Showing how someone could theoretically be confused is not the same as actually being confused. Consumers aren't confused by someone writing an article about a company... that's not trademark infringement. A trademark does not give you rights to prevent people from writing about your company.

Honestly, i'm kind of annoyed by everyone offering an ICO for [insert irrelevant product here]. It's creating a misleading advertising scheme built on top of a current tech _craze_ that will likely leave a lot of "investors" out of money.

The problem is that you're giving money to a relatively unknown company while speculating that the company will create inherent value. Unlike with stocks, you don't have ownership in the company or any voting rights. There is nothing stopping the company's creators from distributing the ICO money to themselves (there might be a board, but since the company isn't public who knows who the board is).

In this case the SEC is right to step in so there aren't a ton of unregulated securities going around and a lot of consumers potentially getting screwed.

Even with cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, it can be scary. You're literally getting into the ForEx market, which is known to be one of the riskiest markets in existence. With other currencies, at least they're backed by a government that (at least at least attempts) to regulate it's value and protect it from manipulation. With bitcoin, I saw that 40% of all coins in existence are owned by less that 1,000 people. How do we know that the current price inflations aren't a manipulation (or collusion) to jack up the price, sell for USD, then crash the market? It's not illegal/collusion because Bitcoin isn't regulated.

This is definitely a rant, but I have some serious concerns as to where this market is going. Would love to hear other's thoughts.

It's not like the movies.
No, not young, I do agree with that. The average life expectancy for a 65 year old is 84, so in that sense, Ed Lee died 20 years before you'd expect him to. A healthy 65 year old (which is what Ed Lee appeared to be as far as I know) has a lot of life left, and an energetic and involved man like Lee still had a lot left to do.[1]

That's easy enough: Google is sufficiently big and well known that even if they have an alarmingly high false negative rate, they will never run out applicants, and "weeding out" even a lot of high quality applicants doesn't substantially reduce the average competence of the remaining pool. And the company is big enough that it can absorb the occasional false positive as well, especially when it comes to people who know their algorithms but not, say, how to work on a team effectively.

Gold's market cap is $8 trillion.

90+% of that value is as a store of value and speculation.

Cryptocurrencies could do that job better. Even with the high fees atm for bitcoin, it's still a hell of a lot cheaper than shipping gold
People who call Bitcoin a 'Ponzi scheme' , type of plant or apply whatever reduction on a very complex and innovative product are just mind boggling to me.

Plenty of things that were eventually successful products went into extreme bubble and correct mode before they were successful.

Blockchains may or may not be part of the finance of the future. But that doesn't mean that 99% of the price of a given blockchain product today isn't bubble based bunk to be avoided just as many 1800s railroad stocks and 90s dotcom stocks had value only from bubble-dynamics despite railroads and the Internet being technologies that went on the succeed massively.
Smart Shield Detector allows thieves to detect ATM #antiskimming technology
There are different reasons for the rise. The main ones I see are:

1) speculation

2) attractive store of value due to the deflationary nature (note that not all cryptocurrencies are deflationary)

3) True limited supply that's mathematically guaranteed. Gold supply, for instance, is not limited in any practical sense, there are trillions of tons of it in our Galaxy, it's all a matter of technological advanvements of its extraction.

4) secure transactions that can't be reversed (though you can use escrows if you want the reverse option)

5) low transaction fees (except for bitcoin)

6) inability of anyone to stop you from moving the money in your possession. See 'paypal sucks' stories, civil forfeiture.

7) works extremely well on the internet

8) fast transaction settlement

9) works over almost any protocol, you can technically manage bitcoins with a dumb phone over SMS

10) banking for those who doesn't have access to banking

11) libertarian aspect - no government control

The Bitcoin price is justified by the free market. People want it, they are willing to pay for it. That's true of any currency value, btw, since there are no government currencies pegged to gold, it's all based on whether people believe in the currency. When they stop believing, we get Zimbabwean dollar, Venezuelan Bolivar, USSR Ruble, Argentinian peso.

I'm questioning the amount of work required as the burden, not the humans. IIRC, the SEC filings require multi-thousand dollar fees. Many government services do not (or not at that level). Do you believe all of those other government services are making people work without pay? I don't think it's fair that you blindly assume the fees are equal to the administrative costs when it seems clear to me they are set at a level to detract the action.
