That, though, is due to intentionally deceitful branding.
Nope, big companies don't get their money from thin air, they get it from the consumer. Company expenses === consumer cost.

And even if they did, it wouldn't make the internet cheaper for you - it'd make it "not more expensive". Getting rid of net neutrality will give ISPs and such more tools to make the internet more expensive.
This. I've got a TPLink Repeater (RE450) and a Netgear R7800 router, both are running LEDE and have given me a slew of great features out of the box, and many more that can be installed after the fact using the packaging system.

There's also a third router, an old TP-Link 1043ND running as a wireless bridge to connect devices in my AV setup, once again running LEDE.
There are so many smart minds concentrated in one area, why is not possible for them to solve this?
To clarify: by this, Taleb means simply that there are no options on bitcoin (there aren't any, right?)

With options you'd buy OTM puts. You could maybe even succeed purely on rising vol if they crank up the volatility even higher to 11 :-)
It is unreasonable to expect that people who are experts in their own field, working at the very boundaries of human knowledge, should also be expected to be completely up-to-date with the latest research in software engineering development.
Clearly you're not encountering a large enough amount of the general population. Because critical thinking escapes quite a lot of them. Which often makes them quite handily manipulated by others, often to the detriment of those that actually apply your advice.

I'm not saying you're wrong, but people may be quite a bit dumber than you've yet been willing to grasp.
There's a patch to enable Qualcomm FastPath in LEDE, this offloads simpler TCP and UDP traffic from the Kernel stack and gets me 960Mbps LAN to WAN on a Netgear R7800.
What wasn’t what?
I use fish since the first time I tried it some years ago because it upgrades your user experience.

I don't understand what the fuss with not being compatible with bash is. Bash scripts run with #!/bin/bash in bash. If you need to write/copy&paste some bash code just jump to a bash shell. In the meantime, fish will save you lots of time on your daily regular shell usage.
And repeaters are also supported by Lede, the TPLink RE450 being one such (I should know, I run a totally LEDE stack at home, and have an RE450 to get the signal better upstairs).
This is one reason for the cable cutters to give up on it and go for internet-based alternatives instead (youtube, netflix, etc). No net neutrality would mean ISPs could start charging extra for premium access to these services - basically going back to the cable system.
> Don't bother with repeaters.

The restaurant I was 'stealing' wifi from (not to mention my landlord) probably would've had a problem with me running a hundred meters or so of ethernet cable so a $60 repeater + aluminium can parabolic dish and Bob's your uncle. Worked for around two years until the interference from my neighbors' wifi made to signal too dodgy and (I think) they got wise and changed the password.
>Starting in 2016 and running annually from July through November, the project, though operated by health departments, is actually used by police to collect citizens’ DNA samples and blood types. This year, the program gathered such data on over 18 million residents in the region.

This is crazy because I could have sworn that I saw something on HN that they are going to have 400 million surveillance cameras.

Sounds like they are almost there in terms of making a full blown police state. Pretty wild!

Why else would they need ever single person's DNA? To see how genetically diverse their people are? What is next, importing foreigners to diversify their gene pool?
I think you underestimate the practicality of it - it’s a big topic of conversation at our middle school currently. I think it’s going to cause more issues than solve problems to be honest

> When I program my computer, I specify all the steps to accomplish something.

You certainly do not specify all the steps your computer must take to run the program because that would make even the simplest program a nightmare to read. In the same way, specifying all the steps a reader must take would make math papers completely unreadable. There's a line which should be chosen wisely, but it's not as simple as "just explain everything".

It's not merely unlikely it's completely nonsensical. You don't get motion sickness in nose-to-tail traffic jams where gas poisoning could actually be an issue. Furthermore the average passenger car produces 20 times more CO2 (by weight) than CO (the ratio is even more skewed for diesel cars).

even to maintain a single dev of a bootstrapped app one needs to recoup its costs, and for that you need users, so there's that. more users is always better especially if users themselves drive your growth since server and development both cost so you start up pretty well in debt.

you have also to consider that solution don't grow in a vacuum. the moment you build something, you can count of having ten competitors out there doing the same or similar thing, akin to convergent evolution someone else is experiencing the same need you're solving right now and among those someone is building a solution. if you want to monetize your solution, unless it's a physical thing, you need to be the first out there and the faster growing.

additionally, if the strategy involves financing at some point, a big cache of user waiting/registered is good leverage and something you can build without having a product if you have the resources to do both - more financing, more money to grow and outgrow competitors.

people sometime demonize growth but unless your startup is something that inherently doesn't scale growth and lock-in are practically the first filter to weed the competition.

Correction: Most bash scripts are brittle. You can write rock-solid bash scripts if you know what you're doing. For example, Arch Linux is an entire distribution built mostly on bash scripts.

Of course, if your scripts only run on your own machine (which is a huge if), then fish is probably better.

I think they may be referencing a confidence gap[1]. 'Fake until you make it' seems like it's referring to imposters syndrome[2]. I haven't found any evidence that it's more prevalent in women than men.

I had this reaction to sign language. Seemed like deaf people missed a good opportunity, but then I realized that how we talk and think is shaped very much by our language. Similarly scholars from different backgrounds have different ways of expressing a precise mathematical concept.

Schizophrenia study: Digital avatars to represent hallucinatory voices
Sure. It’s pure common sense. And parents can totally send their kids to school without a phone. I agree with everything in this legislation save for the fact that it’s a legislation. My future kid wouldn’t even get a smartphone until age 15, if I keep my mindset for this long.

But do we live in an age where parental and community authority are so diminished that parents need the power of the state to bolster their discipline of their kids? Maybe we cater to the kids too much in that case. My mother was never afraid of enforcing rules with me. Every kid in my life had a gameboy growing up. Except me. I complained and said everyone had one. I’m really grateful she didn’t just fold to me because I’m not addicted to video games and knowing my generally addictive personality, I would be if I had been playing games for hours since the age of 4.

I threw a tantrum. For sure. Many tantrums. I said abusive things that I’m ashamed of, because she wouldn’t buy me a gameboy. But dealing with childish outbursts is a part of parenting. We don’t fold to children just because they make our lives unpleasant. She was also under social pressure from my uncle (whose son had a gameboy). She ignored it.

My high school has a VPN that banned Facebook during school hours. We were sent to the principal’s for disrupting the class or playing with our phones. Must we involve the state in everything?

It’s also pure common sense not to cheat on your spouse, or let a young child have an iPad, or watch more than 3 hours of TV in a day. Or drink too much soda. Or not going to them gym. By this logic, we should outlaw these too? Why is our reaction to minor suboptimal behavior to involve the state? There are many intermediary steps to enforce such a thing before needing to do this.

Perhaps the money and food isn't getting to the right people properly ... perhaps very inefficiently with significant added cost?

The other side of this is to look at how much food a typical American wastes. Portions are too big, food is becoming more and more "affordable," and large amounts of it get thrown away.
Is food waste all that bad in the context that it decomposes and returns into the earth, returning its nutrients, despite not feeding someone?

<aside> The other day I was making a salad and wanted to experiment with flavors by adding some apple to my creation. I used a peeler to remove and discard the skin and then shaved some of the fruit directly into the salad. I eventually decided there was plenty of apple in my salad and any more would make it too sour.
So, I tossed the fruit, noticing that probably 2/3 of it remained.
I stopped to think about this.
I also got to thinking about how the top-rated, "gastronomic" restaurants must be throwing out plenty of fruits and veggies without using them entirely.
Perhaps it's seen to be an insignificant cost to them due to item menu price and overall expected margin, but rather a far greater perceived benefit of using _fresher_ ingredients with every meal that's prepared?

Society has started eating for taste, not for just energy / calories, and this probably contributes to even more food waste.

Interesting, why do you loathe that question? I don't view it as a veiled attempt to get info or a way to trick the interviewer.

To me, it's a specific way to measure work life balance. Most HR departments love to preach work life balance, but if the entire team is expected to be responsive during off hours then you have a problem. When asked "how's your work life balance?" it's easy to answer "good" without much reflection. Asking specifics helps get to the reality quicker and is more likely to get specific details.

This is going to be a bit like the gambling debate, since if you do just use it responsibly then yeah, it's probably going to be a net benefit by most value systems. The issue is is the creaping, insidious havoc it is wreaking it peoples lives.

I have seen people - who by simple analysis of the counterfactual would be ok without the internet - have their lives ruined.

As for the young, it is a massive change and we cannot be sure about the harm it may have on them as a cohort as they get older. There was a study that showed phones cost the equivalent of (I think it was) a missed week of school per year in educational attainment.

But I think more than that. Like a lot of dependents/addicts people will

I'm pretty sure that was, from the very beginning, just corporate lingo for "the profits outweigh the moral concerns". In retrospect, it was inevitable that China would develop its own Google/Facebook/Amazon through their strange neo-mercantillist economic strategy.
It's not that simple. Google could build a fiber network itself. If it's more efficient, wouldn't this allow Google to lower prices for their own services? Also if Google didn't connect to every consumer, Google could lease lines to ISPs and other businesses. As a result, there would be a complicated market, and consumer data would be subsidized by other businesses indirectly.
