I don't like the shakespeare analogy because not every written piece of code is supposed to be a work of art. You wouldn't write an instruction manual like you would write Macbeth. Most of the time there's really no value in writing cryptic code
IMHO, they are wrong. GoPro has build a very good reputation. If the margins are too small, they could increase their prices and slightly erode their reputation. If they quit, they lose what they have build. A long time ago, I have heard the story of a sotfware company that was on the verge of bankruptcy because of their small margin. They decided to triple their prices and update the packaging. They have lost half their clients and saved the company that became very profitable. When Oracle bought Sun, they almost double the prices of many services. If Sun did it, maybe it would last longer.
I wouldn't go as far to say that having undocumented magic comments doesn't add complexity. From a very surface level, sure, the parser is the same, but now every tool that works with the Go language needs to be aware of these. Linters, for example, need to not complain about the missing space in front of the comment, but only if the comment starts with "go:".

Ultimately anything that changes how the program is executed is going to add complexity, so they might as well "make it official" and add a keyword for it.

> But isn't that true of any asset? Go back far enough and they all start at 0 and are worth something today.

Asset, perhaps (there is rightful quibbling as to whether e.g. a bond was ever worth zero; it didn't exist and then came into existence with a positive value, but that's nitpicking). Currency, no. The first U.S. dollars minted were far more valuable than one U.S. dollar today.
There's a sense of "unreadable" that I sometimes use that means "the code does not contain the information that you need to understand how it will typically function". E.g. things that have internal control flow determined by complex input processing where the input is ill-specified. It can be essentially impossible to put together a mental picture of the operation of the program, because key parts are essentially unspecified.

And there's a related sense that I occasionally use to describe code that's so difficult to follow (in the sense that the control flow or structure is needless obfuscated) that the process of trying to understand it doesn't really resemble simply "reading".

Some examples:

A function is called in many places in es6 code. I want to see its definition, my editor can't figure it out. I look at the import statement, it's imported from a file. I open that file, and all it does is export * from a dozen other files - so now all I know is that it's in one of these dozen files. I am reduced to doing something like grepping for the function name and looking for the case that looks more like a definition than a call. At one point I was reading the code, now I'm doing something related and more involved than just reading.

Or, in this system components emit message objects with a "title" field. The messages are dispatched to dozens of functions across files that inspect the title field to determine if they do anything with it. Only they don't just do a simple comparison against a string literal, they check if the title meets a regex. There are many of these different regexes.
I read the code that emits the message and I want to know what behaviors the message being sent out triggers - how do I track that down? I can't even grep for the message title. In order to make a list of things this message might do, I have to look through everything that might possibly handle the message and try to figure out which regexes are triggered.

In this case, reading is involved in the same way that reading through a math book and solving the exercises does involve reading - that's not where most of the work comes from.
First, find a space experiencing accelerating growth. 3D Bioprinting is a perfect example with CAGR of 25%+. It's an earthquake. A tectonic shakeup in the way healthcare is provided. And there will be gargantuan pain points.

Second, compile a master list of all major players. Any publicly available email contacts, social media, phone. Span journalists, researchers, executives. The sector is defined by them.

Third, begin cold emailing. But it must be genuinely personal. And, the absolute key, you must bring value. Don't merely take from someone else's time, hard effort and expertise.

Providing value, while gaining from their sector wisdom, is a form of barter. You must have your own skill set to bring to the table.

For example, there is demand right now for WebGL / Unity3D / VR talent. Next gen user experiences and interfaces. Have a demo ready to show. It doesn't even have to be mind-blowing. Just enough to start the conversation.

Best of luck!
> I experience a number of clear shifts when I'm off refined carbs...inflammation level (e.g., joint pain).

I'd like to highlight this one in particular. It's not necessarily obvious that your diet has an effect on joint pain, but it really does. I've gone on low carb about four times now. Each time, before I went on the diet I had lower back pain for weeks and weeks or months on end (I have a slight disc protrusion, I know now thanks to an MRI).

Then I stop eating sugars and refined carbs (because I went low carb) and I start feeling better. It's been a week since I went back on low carb and my back pain --
that was present every day for the past several months and made me whimper and collapse on the couch after taking the dog for a short walk each time -- has pretty much completely gone away. After only a week. This is the fourth time in a row where that's happened, where it's gone away after a week of avoiding carbs.

A low carb diet is known to have an anti-inflammatory effect, and it's happened enough times just with me that I don't think it can be a coincidence.

So if you're having joint pains, seriously consider altering the foods you eat so you can reduce inflammation. These aren't the only foods that cause it, you can look them up. For me that small change has made a big difference.

You seem to have an encoded assumption that smaller mom-and-pop businesses are desired by the market and are being crowded out. I don't think that's true, I think the average consumer doesn't especially care about the size of the corporation they're dealing with. In my experience (and yes, obviously there are the Patagonia exceptions to this general statement), people care about price, quality, convenience, and then ethics. In that order.
Readablility is definitely not similar to understanding. The problem I have with reading code from other codebases is not understanding the coherence. Naming of variables is a great deal here, one poorly chosen name can totally confuse me. And still it is highly subjective because an other developer might instantly see the relation just by chance.

If you're unfortunate enough to code full-stack web apps then you'll likely be dealing with hundreds of npm libraries you've never heard of! How can you know all possible effects and side effects of 1 simple call to a method in some library? That alone would be a quite a study in some/most cases.

It would be great if for any project you can find at least an overview and explanation of the coherence that the files and used modules have in relation to each other. But unfortunately that is often missing already to start with, so you end up with a vast and often unsolvable puzzle.

Programming computers is still in its infancy. We definitely need better tools and structures to understand what's going on IMHO. It makes me laugh when people tell me they solve this with a linter.
Isn't that what MobileCoin is?
From a "supporting startups and other peoples business ideas" your point makes sense, but from a consumer perspective it really doesn't.

You're advocating for limiting a companies ability to provide a product to the customers that the customers want, so that others are able to compete. Using regulation and laws to hamstring a companies ability to provide a successful and demanded product or suite of products doesn't improve things from a consumer standpoint, it actually limits both the product they have now, and the products that may be developed in the future in the space you opened up with regulation.

The combined ecosystem of google is optional (I use google services in multiple browsers, I block all adds including google, the hardware it runs on is irrelevant to me, I could use bing or other search providers if they offer better results, sometimes I do).

The fact is the google ecosystem is convenient, but its not a huge value add for the customer like you represent. I'm able to switch out any one google product for a competitor without a significant impact to my daily working life, but none of those other products that startups or others have provided are better than what google offers (browser, email, search). Even Amazon has taken android and stripped out the google suite, and that is a successful product showing that it can be done and has been done.

Startups have always had the incumbent/entrenched product to deal with. If its significantly revolutionary and disruptive, that overcomes the incumbents advantages of size, exposure and entrenchment. The issue is Google is not only innovating at the large scale, but actively seeks out and purchases startups with approaches that are better and implements those in house (sometimes, or just squashes the startup and moves the IP and people elsewhere for its own benefits).

Large companies like MSFT, Apple, GOOG, Salesforce etc.. have learned that at scale, you can't innovate as quickly due to unavoidable corporate overhead, but you can purchase innovation and implement it internally (some do it better, many worse). If the problem is google doesn't have any competitors/startups that are able to break into the market, its either due to a lack of innovation/disruption in that market segment, or if there is, google/others are purchasing that rather than compete against it.

Anyone able to provide any context as to why the cartels would care about a town like this?

So what about non-tech companies? And what makes a ‘tech’ company? Ford Motor Company is a tech company by pretty much any definition but one of their assembly line employees produces much less cumulative value than a Google engineer.

So you will tell Ford to shut down assembly lines to meet some arbitrary cap? That’s going to make manufactured goods either skyrocket in cost or, result in companies like Google or Ford just moving outside the US.

And what’s the benefit to the consumer of a broken up Google? Will I get a better search engine? Is the current one most people use somehow broken? Or is this all just philosophical? Meaning.. is there a startup right now that can’t compete because of Google? Is Google actually preventing them from building infrastructure, hiring people or doing really whatever they want?

Remember when Apple was born? HP and IBM were juggernauts. But a new innovative company eventually dethroned the both of those companies. Actually Apple dethroned every single company since Apple is the most valuable company on the planet. And it started in a garage going against the ubiquitous Big Blue.

We don’t need to break up anyone — we need people reading this to start building some real shit. With all the effort put into crypto currencies and other such trendy nonsense — how many people have tried to build and market better search? How many people are actually trying to solve hard problems that people care about? Honesty, nobody in the real world cares about Bitcoin. Google has a “monopoly” because it seems like nobody is trying to make something better!

If Google search were actually bad but we were still forced to use it, that would be an abuse of a monopoly position. However, Google actually works pretty good most of the time. It literally works better than any other search engine I’ve tried. So, for that reason, we break up the company? That’s ridiculous. How about putting that effort into making something better? Breaking up the leader just because they are literally too popular? That’s crazy.

Didn’t some ridiculous juicer raise tens of millions of dollars? Didn’t Mattermark waste $17 million or so just to gather startup data? Is there nobody actually trying to compete with Google?

My point is that the problem isn’t Google; it’s the attitude that Google can’t be beaten. ANY company can be beaten — it doesnt take the government, it takes motivated people.

I had the same reaction.

I used to be a loyal 3DR customer and owned both the Iris+ and Solo. Both were very capable and had some outstanding features, but DJI pushed them out of the market pretty quickly. They did so by flooding the market with a broader range of models, and then reduced the price of their mid tier models which killed 3DR sales. The day I read that 3DR had sold their mapping software (Site Scan) to DJI, the writing was on the wall.

I unloaded all my 3DR stuff that weekend and now own a Mavic Pro and a Spark.

Having been following the industry for about 5 years now, I'm not sure there are any viable competitors to DJI. There are some smaller players like Yuneec, but the technology and price points can't compare to DJI. It's the same thing GoPro found out the hard way. Stumble once, and DJI just sweeps up the crumbs and forces you out of the market.

Hire different/more workers?

Setting aside the implausibility of such a secret remaining a secret (none of the workers had a boffin brother or cousin to show?), and never mind the implications for physics, with the right incentives, foreman could hire additional workers, finish the job faster, get paid for that job, and move onto the next job while looking like they're exceptionally good at things rather than ending up over-budget and behind schedule, as is expected for publics works projects. And all without coming up against per-worker Union/EU standards.

Indeed, intelligent people can debate in good faith[1], without battering one another with sources. Since a source (or out of context snippet) can be found to support nearly any assertion, sources are not the end all. Often times, source ladden arguments devolve to a debate of source validity and authoritativeness. Which to me, is boring.

That's a subset of the linear algebra used in quantum mechanics, no? Any transformation between QM states can be expressed as a unitary matrix - this is not a particular characteristic of scattering phenomena with S-matrices. The quantum states are still vectors, as in the rest of QM.

I've seen smart people fall into the following trap:

1. Previous developers did X and X is bad, therefore, their code needs to be rewritten without doing X.

2. Oh crap - turns out, the new code has all these requirements to match the old code's functionality in ways we didn't expect (letters A-W).

3. Okay, so we're doing Y and Z in the rewrite, knowing it's pretty bad, because we didn't know we'd have to do A-W and now we're short on time. Oh, and parts of the code still do X.

Now, wait a year for one third of the team to leave because they're rushed, overworked, burnt out, going in a different direction... and another third to get laid off because the project went way over time and budget...

4. Previous developers did X, Y, and Z, and X, Y, and Z are bad, therefore, their code must be rewritten...

The story does point out that they were doing a "full day of work", then going home even if it was still morning.

So there doesn't seem to have been any personal benefit from the time dilation - the crew still put in 8 hours of work per person per day. Sending a guy across the tunnel to deliver some tool still costs the same amount of his workday, but it'd be instant for the people on the outside, which would save a bit of time. On the other hand dealing with the weirdness and scheduling around it might well eat up any time gained.

Now if they'd convinced the head office about the weirdness, I suppose they could have dispatched another dozen crews and gotten 80 hours of work done each day - at least in the tunnel.

Umm my parents had this idea. It seems that me and my siblings internalized the idea that our parents didn't like/care about us and ended up with quite low self esteem. Most of us developed some anxiety disorders or depressive issues. Now my 24 year old brother sits in my parents house and plays DotA all day and my parents just complain about how he needs to get a job.

e: this is after massive academic self sabotage that ended up with him barely graduating from high school on the special ed track despite being probably 130+iq. He would show up late to every class, refuse to do his assignments, and roll his eyes and loudly yawn to mock the teachers the teachers before falling asleep at his desk. Despite this he'd still end up topping out exams in physics, chemistry, etc. But there were other issues at play like my mother being sick our whole childhood and my father having emotional and social problems from an abusive childhood.

Fair enough. I still disagree that bitcoin being eventually limited in supply is a bad thing, but it appears that I have misunderstood the meaning of inflation and deflation, and I struggle to understand why the definition as you described it is useful.

>This is appropriate given the entire legitimate Bitcoin economy is a subset of the U.S. dollar economy, with prices in Bitcoin often being pegged to an implied U.S. dollar price.

I think this is a consequence of our language and location, as bitcoin is a global asset and therefore gets pegged against many other currencies across the planet.

Still, I understand your point, and I appreciate the discussion!
