For me it was muscular and joint issues. Initially, it was a combination of steroid injections and kratom for the pain (a TENS unit also helped). I had a very good friend of mine die of opiate overdose and get really skittish at the thought of an opiate prescription for pain management. Also, opiate painkillers make me very lazy and totally kills my ability to focus -- a death knell for a programmer -- while the kratom keeps my head clear and my motivation up.

Those things combined allowed me to start working out every day, both cardio and weightlifting. I also began seeing a physical therapist at the VA regularly. Finally, I also worked at a company that generously bought standing desks for those that wanted them. That allowed me to strength train my way out of the muscular issues. I still do deal with joint pain, but I found it much easier to deal with by itself. On bad days I take kratom to help with the pain, but those are far and few between nowadays.

Part of the problem is that the federal government is the largest landholder is most of the Western states (https://goo.gl/images/vsw7rK), so conceivably there are a lot of adjacent private lands. How do you determine access? If I have a property that borders federal (public) land, must I grant access?

The other problem then, is that all this land is managed by bureaucrats in Washington DC. A better solution would be to give the bulk of this land to the states who are closer to the local residents and can more effectively manage the property. Limited easements should then be purchased from willing sellers.

Why would it be nifty to base the underlying format exposed by the OS time APIs and real-time clocks be based on a unit that happens to be a integer divisor of a bunch of common audio and video formats in 2018?

Sure, flicks seems like a useful tool for people working in those fields, but what about the rest of us?

Seems a bit short sighted, or at least extremely unusual for the average person who doesn't care how audio or video is encoded but still deals with high precision time.

If I'm interested in CPU performance, should I suggest that time be denominated in units that are compatible with common CPU frequencies?
I still feel it was a massive waste, the millions of programmers who could be using scripting C# right now, it would have been awesome.
My point isn't that it was a strong or weak argument and if it should have been able to stand against Citizens United. Rather, my point was that part of the social and political fabric of Montana for the past century has been one of curtailing excessive political power held by corporations.

The Corrupt Practices Act of 1912 was a demonstration of the shift from corporate control of the state house to one where corporations were viewed very warily. It was recognized that a corporation is more likely to act in its own interest than that of the state or its citizens.

In the decades since then, this has found its way into many pieces of law and the political consciousness of Montana appears to be one that still views corporations through a wary eye. It is recognized that it is the responsibility of the state is to protect its citizens from corporations. Going by http://www.nclc.org/images/pdf/udap/report_50_states.pdf , Montana has fairly strong consumer protection.

So, let me rephrase my original statement... Montana is a state that appears to value protecting its citizens more than corporations as demonstrated by its challenge (the only state that did so) to Citizens United. That Montana is attempting to implement net neutrality should come as no surprise when one looks at the history of the state and its relationship with corporations.
There's also no other copy of Donald Knuth, or Dennis Ritchie, or Alan Kay, or any other computer luminary. There's also no other copy of any "other lesser software developer" or you or me or the baristas at your closest Starbucks. What you've said in response is "the sky is blue": indisputably true and essentially irrelevant.

I'd argue that in fact, there is circumstantial evidence that brilliant computer programmers can get work done without occasionally making those they interact with miserable: that evidence is the fact that most brilliant computer programmers get work done without occasionally making those they interact with miserable. There is nothing that requires Linus to make strong points by jumping and down and screaming. That's an affection he deliberately chooses.

There's a strong notion through this whole comment thread of "if he didn't do that, nobody would listen to him," which is absolute nonsense. People don't listen to him because of these kinds of outbursts, they listen to him because he's Linus Torvalds. They listen to him in spite of these kinds of outbursts.

> Though the mote interesting graph would be views. During major sport events I can bet there is a big dip.

I was looking in my archive but I can't find the graphs right now.

Yeah, during big sporting events, there is a flattening of viewing. But what is really fascinating is that if you dig in, you find that it only affected devices that were typically connected to TVs. So streaming was normal on portable devices like iPads and Phones and the 3DS, but down on the big TVs.

However, the biggest dip of all happens during the Oscar telecast, second only to the Golden Globes. :)

New Year's eve was pretty flat too, but again only on the big TV devices (kid's devices were unaffected).
Title II != net neutrality. Title II is a highly bureaucratic strong-oversight-in-all-things tool aimed at a completely different problem space, namely providing a legislative solution to the case-law-derived 1980s consent decrees with AT&T & IBM. It covers things that have nothing to do with what ISPs want to deal with as part of their businesses, and places the expensive burden of proof and compliance on the ISP. So yes, it makes sense that small ISPs would not want to compete with the AT&Ts and Comcasts of the world with their armies of compliance officers. You'd never see another small ISP formed again.

Instead Congress needs to create a separate Section III (or whatever) to address net neutrality specifically, and empower the FCC to act within that purview. The FCC does not get to decide on its own that it wants more authority than was previously granted it by Congress.

Congress (and the various involved presidents) deserve to have all the cannons aimed at them. As it stands, people directing their ire at the FCC chairs (on either side) are letting Congress get away with being irresponsible.
In-N-Out managers earn triple the industry average
This is nonsense. P/E is a measure of earnings against the price of one share. A high P/E does show that current earnings are small (or negative) in relation to share price, but there's no time component inherent in P/E.

One reason is permanence. A bus route can change easily, a dedicated bus lane can become an everyone lane with a coat of paint. A rail line is much harder to change, for me this was a big factor in deciding where to buy an apartment.

Because trying to maximize the utilized capacity creates worse outcomes. If there is only service every 30 minutes at a slow time of day then less people will use it because it's less convenient, so demand slows more and services are cut further, etc.

Yes. Any public company must ultimately pay a dividend to be valuable.

Edit: All of my responders are ignoring my use of "ultimately". A company can certainly invest in growth, but growth only matters if the company eventually returns money to shareholders, and the only way to do that is a dividend.
I fully agree that big data has essentially been renamed to AI. Which makes sense because AI today ~= ML/DL which require lots of data.

And, as someone who went through the data warehousing fad in the late 90s, there's a lot of naive belief in pouring in a lot of data and magic happening.

That said, there has been a lot of advance that, once it's happened, we just don't call it AI any longer. Route optimization (Google Maps), predictive analytics in some domains, image recognition. Yeah, a lot of it is just fuzzy pattern recognition but some of it is pretty good.

The more fundamental question IMO is how far DL can even take you. We've actually seen a lot of progress there but we also haven't seen a lot of forward motion in cognitive science for example. So do we just run out of steam in some of the areas, like autonomous vehicles, where we think we're doing pretty well today.
Shutdown exchanges in the US, South Korea, China and Japan and you'll see how quickly everything explodes. Just the mere suggestion that South Korea was about to do this tanked the market.
"what does PowerShell offer in the way of "automation" that is so much superior to bash and *nix command line program?"

1- it runs on both unix and windows .. and hopefully more in the future

2- uniformity, all command have the same form, verb-noun

3- discover-ability, you dont need google to find the cmdlet, you can glob search the help system

4- support, there are cmdlets for many systems that bash will never, ever, ever, ever approach or support

5- GUI, you can create a GUI in powershell

Well, nobody is arguing addiction completely strips mental agency. However, it’s also absurd assigning all the factors at play here to “self control”. That’s something you tell yourself when you don’t want to think about the problem and what would help people; that something you tell yourself to dismiss peoples suffering.

If you actually have a thought that might help, it will almost certainly have to have some sort of nuanced understanding of how humans interact with drugs. You clearly lack this.
You’re saying that a car on the highway is faster than a subway in midtown Manhattan?

How fast can you drive a car in Manhattan?

And you probably don’t realize this, but modern trains go about 200 mph. They just don’t go that fast in the United States.

China managed to build about 18,000 miles of these trains in about 10 years.

Printing money for the past decade and giving it to large banks will have that effect. It's the same as giving $100 to every person at the market and then wondering why an Apple costs $100.50. The large investment banks are consumers of public equities.
> One privilege of starting a company in the U.S. is that people don't automatically assume your business practices are similar to Uber's, or Exxon, or pharma bro.

Well anything with "disruption" in the name certainly will be assumed to follow business practices similar to Uber - they (and AirBnB) poisoned the well pretty much with their blatant disregard for any kind of law. For the other part, I fully agree with you - and hell there should be way more discussions on drone strikes.

> China is recovering from generations of being colonized, being doped-up-by-drug-cartels-with-a-navy, acts of genocide by a colonizing neighbor, forced to cough up money (like Haiti did) due to losing wars, violent revolution, and is only in my lifetime lifting almost 1.3B out of extreme poverty. My own grandfather was sold into indentured servitude to support his parents' opium habit. I have a grandmother who ran away from home because her (single) mom could only afford education for one of her two children, so she prioritized the boy. I am glad that China is no longer like that, that it's a legit modern (or getting there) nation, and no amount of spin on how that's 'bad' for the West for China to 'catch up' can change that.

I agree that China has done massive leaps in economic terms - but not so on the human-rights part... and that's where much of the progress that has been made actually comes from: debts in terms of ecology disasters and debts in human rights (as shown e.g. by the suicide sprees routinely making headlines. Suicide prevention nets, I haven't ever heard about something like that in any other country).

> China has a historical tendency to under-invest in the military and over-invest in consumer production / quality-of-life infrastructure. This is literally the opposite of the colonizing powers.

Because today you don't need a massive army to be a formidable power. China has learned there from the Soviet Union which was dragged into bankruptcy by trying to keep up with the US in military terms... today all you need is economic power. China (and to a certain extent the Arabian countries) have total leverage over the West, given the dependence of Western civilizations on cheap oil and China as a production house.

> Relevant question: which countries, during their Industrial Revolution, had universal suffrage? What were their international politics like during their Industrial Revolution?

None for #1, and "warmongering" is a bit of an understatement for #2.

> How does China measure up to that?

On this part: very well indeed. What angers me is that the Chinese leadership does not have a tiny dent of respect for human rights (e.g. Tibet, but especially their desire to be a state in total control over their citizenry). Today's China simply has different focus on where they want to ignore any progress in human rights.
Someone get this person a Taleb book.
A very good question!

The biggest things that have worked for me (and as a side effect of the slightly related pursuit of improving my conscientiousness) are:

- meditation, 15 minutes in the morning after waking just sitting and watching the breath

- deeply realizing that I'm a flawed being, but I can improve with hard work

- increasing my sensitivity to disgust, while keeping it personal and subjective, not thinking that I'm tuning into some objective and universal way that things should be cleaner
> Since driverless vehicles and fleets are arriving roughly concurrent

I have said multiple times, and did sign again, that I do not believe driverless vehicles will automatically lead mass adoption of fleet/on-demand vehicles. I don't think they will be as much of a savings over human-piloted vehicles as the optimists think.
Boundary conditions, exactly.
There absolutely is. For a company to be valuable, it must return more profit to shareholders than they put in. The P/E ratio indicates how long it will take for this to happen.
My understanding was that if they rolled back the entire network to just before the hack, lots of transactions would be rolled back that didn't need to be.

That's why, from what I remember, when etheruem was hardforked created a transaction from the thief's wallet to a new smart contract, and everyone agreed to validate that transaction even though it wasn't signed by a private key.

That's because prior to being too old to drive, they didn't give a fuck about the public transportation system. Actually, even after being too old to drive, they happily continue to vote against public transportation.

It's bizarre to suggest our transportation system is failing them. It's exactly the transportation system they voted for, the transportation system a good bunch of them built, designed, railroaded through poor communities, terraformed cities to support. It's been failing large swaths of people for many centuries, but that generation didn't bother. They built this shrine to the personal automobile.

It's not even a case of buyers remorse. For the longest time in their life, they happily took advantage of limitless cheap fossil fuels, plenty of unregulated cars and wide roads to drive them on, and the best part, they managed to put it all on the tab for the next generation. Its Caligula all over.
>The most striking thing here is that Linus has apparently dismissed incompetence as a rational explanation. Yes, he is often brash, but usually he is accusing someone of sheer stupidity. He does not do that here. Linus alleges that we are being lied to - that we don’t know the full story, nor Intel’s motives.

> All food restrictions are religion. Will you eat sushi? Bugs? Vegetable protein paste? Why not? Most excuses are just religion dressed up.

What about just that I don't prefer the taste?

For instance, I would have no problem trying meat made in the lab from rats, apes or people.

But I probably wouldn't eat fish or goat or lamb, not because I have some"religious" reason for it.

If a religion can be defined as only a set of personal preferences, it seems like the entire concept of a religion is without a real clear boundary.
Oh interesting, on my cursory glance I assumed PostmarketOS was only for rootable Android devices.

I've visited Switzerland a few times, and they have an excellent system that combines trains and buses. The buses fan out from the train stations, and the schedules are all coordinated.

Armed in the sense of with a firearm, tazer or similar? Yeah, you're right, only a minority of British cops are qualified for that and most wouldn't have them anyway unless they need them.

But keep in mind in the UK all weapons are prohibited. Walking down the street waving a baseball bat in a threatening manner is a criminal offence in the UK. Any object that could reasonably be interpreted as a weapon needs a lawful excuse to carry it in public, and a bunch of objects that violent people tend to fixate on are just outright banned, there aren't any excuses permitted for those, you just can't have them in public at all.

Thus having just the _same_ gear as the cop: pepper spray, an extensible baton and some hand cuffs, would get you in trouble here, never mind any sort of firearm.

"Constable" is the legal term used in UK law to refer to police officers and give them special powers or immunities. A Detective Chief Inspector is still a Constable by this meaning, so is a Special Constable (volunteer spare time cop) but a Police Community Support Officer (cheaper fake cops with less training) is not a constable. Outside of statute law, ordinary people don't call them constables.

British pop culture says the equivalent of a "get out of jail free" card would be membership of a Masonic Lodge. Police officers (in particular senior ranks) are supposed to be particularly likely to join the Masons, an esoteric order with a big emphasis on helping other members.
>When the stock market tops out, people will take their money out and buy real estate causing another rise.

If I understand correctly, you are saying that market sentiment that the stock market has reached its peak will result is real estate prices increasing. That’s a very optimistic take. When market sentiment thinks the peak has been reached, people start selling and you get a crash. Everyone can’t sell at the top.

I don’t think most people buy homes based on a guess of the stock market cycle. I think a more realistic model is: people sell stock and buy a house when it makes sense for their life and they can qualify. They take money out of the stock market (often a 401k) for the down payment and use it to meet reserve requirements. If the market crashes, people won’t be able to afford as much house and prices will drop.

If the stock market keeps going up, that will continue to be one of the factors supporting home prices.
For sure, dividends donesn't mean nothing here.
If a company is profitable and don't pay dividends to shareholders, they need to do something with the money that are accumulating, and they will invest on the company (new machines, products, services, etc. all accordingly with the company strategy), and if the company grows with this investments, the stock price will follows it.
