Right, the increase in consumption is forcing people in producing regions to pay global prices. That's not an increase in global prices. I guess I wouldn't expect places outside the US to have particularly higher demand or prices (US is wealthy, really embraces Mexico derived cuisines).

I'm with the other guy I run like 5 different ad blockers plus have my headers file configured to block most ads and this site didn't say anything. It's strange that someone who doesn't even have one could've gotten flagged. It's almost like these stupid sites that try to block people who use blockers should just stfu if they're programmed so poorly they get false positives.

It depends. I'm still under 40, and many of the things he considers mistakes I don't (yet). That said, three of the things on the list I've been able to avoid, and I think it's made the rest easier. 1. I was lucky to get a bunch of money early, and stopped spending a lot of time writing grants after the first year. 2. Made a conscious decision to not travel excessively, spend time at home, and vacation for all sorts of family reasons. That said, I've used twitter to supplement the backroom chatter I am missing and that's worked well enough 3. I initially took a lot of committee work but have backed off a ton in the last few years.

I do run a pretty big group, though I've downsized a bit (now 8 Phd, 3 postdocs, many undergrads). We work on too many things and most are pretty ambitious, but that makes it fun. I wouldn't change that much honestly. Maybe I need a few more years before I regret everything, but things are pretty good IMO, but again, I think you need a few chips to fall your way before things become manageable (e.g., like early grants).

Because the power of one individual keeps going up. Just relying only on your own judgement without at least deferring first to a higher authority and attempting to get the issue addressed with their help is reckless and could get a lot of people killed.

Yes people should take a personal stand sometimes, but they shouldn't start there. I understand that previous NSA whistleblowers were gutted, and that was stupid of the NSA because that secret was getting out at some point, but in either case talking to a senator is way, way, way better than talking to a random journalist. There are plenty of reasons not to talk to journalists, not the least of which is that they're often spies. Bringing all the material to Hong Kong was also reckless, though it is possible he took countermeasures to stop himself from giving up the password if he got tortured at the border.
That sentence might make some sense and be arguably relevant if you replaced “third” with “first”. (As written, it suggests that the most powerful and prosperous third world nation is bordered by the most dysfunctional third world nation, and that this is somehow relevant to a story about Mexico, which is, for starters, not a third world nation.)
How the US Helps Its People Out of Poverty for Free
If history is any guide, and it usually is within reason, the crypto bubble is nearly over. When you start seeing people like the Ripple CEO showing up near the top of the global rich list overnight (for something that currently has almost no economic utilization), the zenith of the mania is approaching.

The dotcom bubble only lasted 2.5-3 years. Most of the housing bubble's value inflation happened in 3-4 years.
No idea. Maybe less copying of memory? As far as I remember, C++ may implicitly copy values on some occasions (like returning from a function or pushing into a vector), and in Rust non-primitive values are always moved, and to make an actual copy one has to explicitly opt in by using clone().
This has parallels to professional life as well:

1. Working on too many projects at once.

I joke with my team that "we're never short on problems". It's tempting to hear about something interesting and want to be involved—or worse, feel like you should be involved. It's very hard to say no.

2. Taking on high-risk projects with factors out of my control.

If there's one thing I'm good at, it's setting expectations. But combined with #1, handling too many projects mean you never have time to properly think (and mitigate) the risks.

3. Taking on too many students.

You could flip this to "growing too fast," though that's not a problem I've personally had. There was a culture of mentorship at my previous company, which a pressure to take on mentees. Similar...

4. Wasted too much time courting companies for money.

Probably an analog into the startup scene, but again, not a problem I've had.

5. Way, way, way too much travel. / 6. All the boondoggles.

Forget travel, the core message here is opportunities. The author says, "I found it hard to avoid this trap because you think, well, saying no means you're not going to get asked to do the more important thing next time."

Oh man, do I agree. And I agree that most of the time it's a moot point. But there's something to be said for "visibility" and there's a 1-10% chance that the one "boondoggle" you sign up for ends up yielding an opportunity you wouldn't have had otherwise. This is my major personal and professional issue, and I haven't solved it yet, either.

> The overall trend in aviation is point-to-point routes and frequent flights on smaller planes. Just today it was announced that Sydney-Melbourne is now the world's second busiest air route, even though it's almost entirely served by "small" 737/A320s:

This is only true regionally or domestically. The hub and spoke model is more alive than ever on international routes. There are more direct routes today, but that is a consequence of having more hubs and more airlines, not because the airlines have figured out some advantage in point to point routes.

For the long range widebody market, the largest planes don't save you much on fuel economy, even running full. A common saying in the industry is that it takes a lot of fuel to fly a lot of fuel; with fuel economy there are diminishing returns to aircraft size. Given they weren't saving much on fuel, the A380 and 747 only made sense at megahubs, because it reduced demand for landing and departure time slots. But the airlines responded to that problem in a different way: they increased the number of their hubs. This made them more flexible by not tying them into very expensive fleet decisions with new and unproven aircraft with hard staffing and infrastructural investments to go along with them, and it gives the advantage of having more direct routes.

This is what I thought the article would be about. There are people in my circle who would be angel investors but all they want to talk about instead are which altcoins are likely to moon in the next month. It's a difficult early stage environment because even a "sure thing" in the next Google doesn't offer the return that a pumped cryptocoin can offer, and immediately! I hope this bubble unwinds itself sooner rather than later, before too much damage is done.

How is it different from the generations before that read books?
Try to dissect the parent comment, is really spot on. I can't explain better. Some extra hints:

You are using the word artistic when you should use the word creative instead. An artist, sometimes, is not even the best painter, musician or sculptor. An artist is somebody that has the courage to live life trully according his way - being innovative by definition - and not to please somebody else.

Examples of artists (IMHO): Jim Morrison, Salvador Dali, Picasso, Basquiat, Paul Gauguin became one when abbandoned his life in Paris and went painting natives in Pacific islands in 19 century, probably Madonna and Michael Jackson while younger, probably Trump.. Jesus Christ..
The paranoia is real. I'm of Swedish-Baltic descent and since a very early age was taught that Russians are not to be trusted, for the very reason you mention (occupation.) This paranoia runs very deep in Baltic culture, in my experience, however in Swedish culture much less so – presumably because we don't share a border with Russia.

Not gonna lie, when Russia entered Crimea I got a pit in my stomach.
I don't think it's weird to focus on Ethereum as, as the article correctly states, most new currencies are not a separate chain themselves but are simply tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. Ethereum is also the only blockchain with a real developer community, and the article focuses on building applications.

Microsoft didn't abandon Bitcoin because it was overpriced, they abandoned it because it was volatile.

One could argue that a blockchain's only real world purpose is as a shared database, just as http's only real world purpose is the transfer of data between computers.

> Over the past year I've seen a serious decline in early stage angel investment.

Awful? Yes, the bubble will probably pop at some point.. however, from a risk reward PoV, over the last few years it seemed more likely to be able to 10x your money in crypto than it was to make a successful angel investment. Getting into the good deals is hard without a proper network in place and most angel investments fail. I think it's normal people reallocate to the more interesting opportunity available at a certain point in time. No point in throwing money at bad ideas if you can't get into the interesting deals.

Once most of the crypto gains have been made, this will shift again. If the fed sets up another QE programme, more money will flow into the stock market, etc.

> But one doesn't have to just take Boeing's word for it. One can see the trend in the actual real-world routes. For example, you have Norwegian Airlines recently offering direct nonstop service from Oslo Norway to Orlando Florida on the 787.[1] Both Oslo and Orlando would be considered 2nd-tier population cities and that lower demand point-to-point route is made possible by the newer smaller planes.

That wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that Oslo is Norwegien Airlines' hub, would it? Cause if so, that isn't a point to point route. That is a hub route.

And that's why the trend is illusory. No international airlines are running point to point. The availability of direct routes has to do with the increase in the number of airlines and the number of hubs. Check out Seatac's list of direct international routes. Every single route listed has either a hub destination or a hub origin for that airline. Every single one of them.

Your example is a case where small amounts of additional documentation can be useful. If you are working with a poorly-documented API and you find something that is unintuitive and non-obvious (it might be as simple as an arbitrary choice between equally valid design options, where exactly one needed to be chosen) but which matters in what you are using it for, then a note of that fact could save a lot of time in the long run, depending on what you are coding for: if it is just for yourself, then you only have to consider what is best for you, but if it is an actual product where it is likely that others will have to understand it, that note might pay for itself many times over.

>A lot of people, though, are confusing the recent availability of new international direct flights with a move towards a point to point model. This is completely false. The increase in "direct" flights has to do with the expansion of hubs and airlines.

I think that's an example of using a absolutist definition of "point-to-point" instead of a relative definition.

When airline industry analysts talk about 787 servicing more point-to-point routes, the "point-to-point" is relative to avoiding the mega hubs with 4-engine jumbo planes.

Yes, there can be a so-called "point-to-point" at a 2nd-tier airport flying to another 2nd-tier airport (that also has "hub&spoke" like attributes) which makes it fail the absolutist definition of "point-to-point". We can concede that more restrictive definition and yet still simultaneously understand what the industry is talking about when they mention "point-to-point". The expansion of 2nd-tier hubs at budget airlines is still point-to-point compared to superhubs like New York JFK, London LHR, Paris CDG, etc.

Eminent domain comes from English common law. The crown ultimately owns everything (i.e. holds eminent domain). Your "fee simple" property allows you to hold rights in the property in perpetuity in exchange for a simple fee (as opposed to a lease). The crown still holds eminent domain, however, and can take it away. The "constitutional" part of "constitutional monarchy" does create a process and establish compensation and such so that your rights can't be taken away arbitrarily.

The question isn't if cryptocurrencies are valuable and represent real innovation. The question is if the current valuation of crypto currencies is strangling their ability to innovate.

One reason could be the high valuations are creating a tunnel vision that's hyper-focused on realizing returns rather than adding additional value.
