The RAIblocks whitepaper is worth reading just as a reference on how a technical paper should be written.

(Disclosure: I became interested in RAI on NYE and recently invested some money in it)

The RAI secret sauce is the "block lattice" design where each account is its own blockchain and you only need to care about the chains you want to do business with, unless you encounter conflicts. Conflicts are resolved by proof-of-stake voting. If you don't run a full node, you choose a representative to vote on your behalf.

Today I spent the afternoon playing around with a conceptual design in ClojureScript for a better desktop wallet: http://petrustheron.com/posts/xrb-wallet-concept/

From a contrarian investor point-of-view, RAIBlocks is interesting because it is at the juncture of a terrible wallet experience, a weird name, dubious exchanges (at least UI wise), an okay website - but an excellent whitepaper and a working protocol that's free to transact on.

If it scales, I predict it will do well. My biggest concern is C++ as an implementation language, compared to, say OCaml that is easier to verify. I also don't have a strong feel for the robustness of the conflict resolution mechanism. However, the author is proficient and the codebase is readable.

The closest DAG impl. AFAIC, is Hashgraph, based on supermajority consensus that counts transactions that were "strongly witnessed", but it is patented with no coin presently for sale.

You can forget convincing a judge, by the way. While there is a razor-slim chance that the judge might understand technical matters and wish to let you present your case, they can't. The prosecution will accuse the defense of attempting to 'bamboozle' the jury with confusing technical details. This is used in DNA evidence cases to prevent lawyers from pointing out that 1 in 100 DNA tests are in error due to lab errors or sample contamination. The ability to present technical information in a courtroom is basically nil in the USA. The standard used is a 'reasonable person' and it is assumed that no reasonable person has the ability to understand technical nuance. If the police say your IP address did something bad... you're just screwed, as far as I can tell.

The Future of Silicon Valley
As a public company, many of our employees are shareholders (literally: owners), some via share-based comp, some via secondary purchases.

We don't enforce that, as a condition of employment, you must accept share-based compensation. Employees are mostly [1] paid in cash and we let employees decide how much of that cash they want to invest in the company.

[1]-some executives are "forced" to accept share-based compensation as part of their comp.

Simply put, you can do more with templates. It's the Principle of Least Power at work — the same way you can do more with a blob of JSON than a blob of JavaScript, templates allow you to do things that are basically impossible with JSX, such as compiling to a string concat function for server-side rendering that is much, much faster. Ask the teams behind Glimmer, Marko, and other tools, and they'll tell you the exact same thing.

We've basically covered all those idioms in a few paragraphs. There's very little extra stuff to learn. Now if I may be blunt in return, I was converting the React RealWorld implementation to Svelte for the purposes of this post, and there were moments that I spat out my coffee at how absurd some of it was — twice as much code, with some truly bizarre (but idiomatic-to-React) constructs. It's all a matter of perspective and familiarity!

This is definitely an improvement for Java, but it leaves me with a few thoughts as someone who has done Java professionally at times, but also professionally lived in other ecosystems including C++/Qt, Python, Ruby, Golang, and of course node/JS.

1. Setting up a project is still a pain in the butt. Tools like Gradle are a nice improvement over Ant (and some would say maven), but still most people don't even understand them. You have some serious reading ahead of you if you want to set something up that isn't already templated somewhere for you. You can lean on an IDE for sure, and for most Java devs this is probably a no-brainer. I'm weird in that I don't like magic. I prefer to know what the tool is doing on my behalf, and the Java IDE world is so complex that it isn't practical to learn that unless you're in the ecosystem for years. Then dealing with weird exceptions from the JVM can be maddening.

2. The Java world moves slowly. It could reasonably be years before many shops transition to Java 9, when you would actually realize the benefits of this in your work life.

3. So much Java runs on the server side anyway, where executable size and entrypoint doesn't really matter that much. Because of this, it may only be a small subset of Java shops that really get into Java 9/Jigsaw and iron out the bugs, and create tools/tutorials for others.
Boom isn't nearly as relevant as what Esperanto is trying to deliver. In fact, one can say Boom is the reason why companies have been reluctant to switch to RISC-V. Experienced engineers don't want a generator or other tools such as Chisel. They want standard synthesizable code and IP cores that were optimized for leading edge processes using standard CAD tools. This is what Esperanto is promising and is far more important than Boom.
I don't mean things-I-don't-like—there are lots of things I don't like that aren't bad—I mean books that are the literary equivalent of some of the worst films that make it on MST3K or Best of the Worst succeeding in a field of direct competitors, many of which are in every way superior, and not on the strength of any kind of cult following or reading-ironically or whatever, but for... some unknown and perhaps unknowable reason. It's like Cry Wilderness outperforming ET at the box office, and its fans not seeming to be in on any kind of joke, but sincerely preferring it. Just baffling.

Or if Titanic, to deliberately pick a movie that's not gonna win the hearts of many film snobs anyway, had had every single shot nigh-comically misframed, weird scene transitions right in the middle of significant speech or actions, a CG Titanic that occasionally floated above and out of the water for no obvious reason, extras playing all the speaking roles, and so on, had still performed just as well and been popular among ordinary audiences, who betrayed, in interviews, no apparent awareness that the film was totally and obviously messed up in fundamental ways that ruined any kind of story or message it may have been trying to convey. But that actually happens sometimes with books. And then the critics go "wait... what? Did you... actually read it? It's very, very bad. I mean, you did notice that, right?" and the fans say "you just hate fun! Get your head out of the clouds! People like different things!" It's very confusing.

Actually, now that I think about it, maybe this happens with books and not with movies because movies—especially those with any hope of popular success—pull you through the story rather by the nose, so it's more jarring when they entirely fail than when a book does. Maybe some people are so much better than me at getting lost in books that they're seamlessly replacing dialog, entire paragraphs of text, whole scenes, plot lines even, with things that don't suck, not even realizing they're doing it. I guess that'd explain it, if they're unconsciously live-fanfictioning the thing in their head to make it better.

> Definitely agree that there are degrees of freedom, I'm just not confident that a removal of regulations in the healthcare market would lead to a positive outcome (higher quality/less expensive healthcare).

Economists have a high degree of confidence that some of the rules that are restrictive of a free market account for sizable chunks of the cost: not being able to import pharma and immigrant restriction on doctors being quintessential.

Not being able to import pharma is denounced both by Bernie Sanders and Rand Paul (whereas the first wants to socialize medicine, and the latter remove regulations).

Doctor's immigration restrictions are large but also very hard to politically fight. Also the high cost and restrictions of medical licensing. Friedman was very unsuccessful in turning the public against them.

> I was actually thinking about when medical treatment is being received. Once you're under a hospitals care you're largely subject to their pricing for services (e.g. I can't choose to use the cheaper MRI machine down the street).

This applies only to emergency care: if you have cancer, for example, you have plenty of time to choose going to the cheaper chemo. And even a smaller fraction of emergency care: breaking a leg is painful but it does not incapacitate you to choose one hospital or the other: in fact, we do that all the time by picking which one is closest (choice that must indubitable be made in comparison to another option).

And after that, you have an insurable market, which means that you have all the time in the world to choose between options.

> you agree to a particular payment structure for services without knowing what the cost of the services are or which services you'll be receiving when checking into a hospital, this opacity in hospital pricing also means that different parties are paying different rates for the same service at the discretion of the billing department.

Same as car insurance, or mal practice insurance, or house fire insurance, or renters insurance. Not knowing what you will get is at the core of the insurance service models.

I see a struggle to find what makes heealthcare unique to falter in two regards: first, that finding that quality that makes healthcare a unique market does not show anything other than identity: it might be the quality found points to private healthcare instead of public. But also, the extreme difficulty to find a qualitative difference between health and other markets is due to the fact that it might actually not be qualitatively different at all.

My outrage isn't directed at your moral failings,which are unfortunately all too common, but at your intellectual failures.

You are misrepresenting the status quo when you're insinuating that some "establishment" conspiracy will be suppressing the usefulness of violating fundamental rights, such as assumption of innocence, in their quest to defend "political correctness".

This is obviously wrong. Such rights, and others like privacy or the right to a fair trial, only make sense under the assumption that their violation would in some ways benefit law enforcement. Otherwise there'd be no need to protect them.

While the argument that, for example, "torture doesn't work" is sometimes made, it is always secondary to "our civilisation is better than that, and it is strong enough to accept a (small) hit in effectiveness in the defence of fundamental rights".

So when you believe you've stumbled onto some greater truth, and that the world needs to hear some tough talk of realism, you've simply missed the essential message of enlightenment, and are reverting to 16th-century morals.

Putting silicon valley in the title == free clicks for an otherwise inconsequential article / book.
How are .so, .dll files handled during Java packing? This is more open question, but say you have one ".exe" file. Now you need to extract the DLL in a place, and make sure everytime it's the right one (gets tricky if the tool is ran simualtnenously, like spawned from a build process).

While I was at Google, instead of having multiple .so files, the main launcher was a C++ binary, and all external C++ dependencies were linked into it (that's it if you have the source code), then you didn't need that.

I guess now it's up to the BUILD system to achieve that, where if you have more flexible BUILD language you can instruct everything to go in the main launcher file, then have all the .jars into one, slapped at the end of the file.

At the end, ship or update only one binary to your service, desktop machine, etc.
Totally open for suggestion on how to fix this - right now I'm using regex and a list of "profane" words, so nothing too fancy. But I'm interested in looking into solutions for this problem.

Unless you consider that basic support services are what the Java runtime should be providing on its own. Fundamentally, a command line Hello world should only take a few dozen bytes of bytecode.
I think syscalls are not as slow as many people imagine they are, especially with modern CPUs and kernels (there are special instruction for syscalls that are faster than the old "interrupt" approach).

The first one, spiking he drug supply with poisons, was mandated by the US government before and increasingly during alcohol prohibition. They weren’t sneaky about it, and they were doing it to industrial alcohols, but those were the same alcohols that the gangs were taking and re-distilling and reselling to people and they knew it. It was apparently controversial at the time.

I’ve linked the snopes article because the situation was more nuanced than how I’d seen it represented before. But it does display the kind of callousness that would be needed to undertake any of the measures you outlined.

I don't think that's quite fair. The article reads to me like a good-faith attempt to explore some less obvious aspects of these dynamics. It doesn't arrive at new or substantive conclusions, but just standing in the neighborhood of these questions while keeping an open mind is worth something while society is in transition about them.

The article also manages to stay more neutral and non-judgmental than the lurid material would easily allow, and that deserves respect too. Overall, it's better than the median for the genre.

It doesn't matter what the defense lawyers know. They are not permitted to present that information in court. If they tried to, the prosecution would raise an objection that the defense was attempting to 'bamboozle' the jury with technobabble and it would be suppressed.
>Most poor people in the US are women and their children.

What a strange statement. This would be true if, for example, poor people were 33% men, 33% women, and 33% children.

It would also be true that "most poor people in the US are men and their children."

Did you mean to say something specific about single mothers and the children who live with them? Or was the phrasing an attempt to import that image while saying something much less meaningful?

Here's something that is specific and true: The vast majority of homeless in America are men. There are many, many centers set up to help women and children in poverty exclusively, while resources just for men are rare-to-nonexistent.

Extreme poverty is massively gendered against men, and the resources to address it are massively gendered towards helping women.

Arguably Joker is the number, and like Ace is 1 you might use 0 or 14 depending on math preferences as a surrogate number (or stick to the character designations like A, K, Q, J).

Decks with four jokers typically have suited jokers. Decks with two are typically (though not always) red/black and could be given arbitrary suits (say hearts/spades).
Jellyfish | Software Engineers (ML experience a plus) | Boston, MA | Full-Time | ONSITE
ABOUT JELLYFISH Jellyfish is an small, early-stage venture-funded startup creating a platform that will change the way software development happens. We're looking for a full-stack engineer and a backend architect to join our 5-person founding team here in Boston, MA. At this time we aren't prepared to offer H1B/Visa sponsorship or remote work.
JOB DESCRIPTION Currently, we are working closely with our customers to rapidly prototype, build, and refine the Jellyfish platform. We are using a Django stack (Python 3, Django, Postgres) hosted on AWS, so experience with these technologies is a plus. We are also seeking to augment the team with someone with substantial experience with toolkits like scikit-learn.
ABOUT YOU Ideal candidates will have two or more years experience building software and a bachelor's degree in a computer-science-adjacent field. We will also consider equivalent experience in lieu of a degree. Familiarity with building and bringing software to market is a huge plus. As we are an early-stage startup there is the standard caveat: we're working quite hard to quickly bring this to market, so there will be a non-zero amount of unpredictability. The flip side of that is, of course, the opportunity to join an early-stage startup working on an interesting idea.
TECH STACK Python (Django, NumPy), PostgreSQL, AWS, Nginx COMPENSATION Competitive salary plus equity grant

> "By standing up to bullies you're likely to become one yourself."

I don't subscribe to that point of view. I believe it is those who submit to being victimized by bullies who are most likely to become bullies themselves.

> "Maybe consider trying to have more empathy towards others and realize their opinions and behavior are formed largely by their own life experiences."

Please don't be condescending. My biggest pursuit in life has been learning, understanding and empathizing with others.

What past experience has lead you to believe submitting to bullies makes the world a better place? Do you find yourself bullying others after resisting bullies?
