Based on some surveys I did within the general US population, a significant number of people (around 30%) haven't even heard of Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies and most (60%+) have heard of it but haven't put money in it.

Keep in mind that statistically speaking, you and I live in an echo chamber. Hacker News is a bubble of engineers with a penchant for business and finance (startups, the main thing here, are where geeks who also like money gravitate towards). My subjective experience in meatspace is similar to yours: a lot of people around me are involved somehow with cryptos, but I think that is likely caused by me fitting the aforementioned demographic.

I think (and surveys validate) that the general penetration in the general population is still low. Total market cap for cryptocurrencies is 500B as we speak. Actual capital involved is much less.

This is peanuts when compared to any measure of the global financial system. Most people have heard and operate by the mantra "this is crazy, don't put anything in that you are not willing to lose".

500B is a little over half what Apple alone is worth on NASDAQ. The difference being most people don't invest in Apple directly. A lot of people are probably exposed to Apple stock, but I don't think any mutual/hedge funds have significant positions in cryptocurrencies where a crash would affect the common folk.

That is very different from a subprime mortgage used to buy a house you live in. No one that I know sells during dips or crashes, because cryptos are to some extent "play money". This, I think, explains the resiliency of the market to its wild fluctuations: no one expects anything else but crazy volatility.

That being said, I am certain that cryptos will take a page in the history books. I have personally witnessed people doing and saying things that immediately make me think I should probably be working on the script for the cryptocurrency edition of The Big Short.

Which is why most training for practical things is pretty bad. You can't shove physical skills into student's heads. Tell them once or twice, then create a drill where they get to learn it themselves.

In this case, I would have the student do low speed turns from straight. Ideally on a bicycle.

You had an option to WAIT for 8087 but you could 'cheat' and just run other instructions, manually calculating cycles.

Thus, a system with an 8087 was capable of true parallel processing, performing one operation in the integer ALU of the main CPU while at the same time performing a floating-point operation in the 8087 coprocessor. Since the 8086 or 8088 exclusively controlled the instruction flow and timing and had no direct access to the internal status of the 8087, and because the 8087 could execute only one instruction at a time, programs for the combined 8086/8087 or 8088/8087 system had to ensure that the 8087 had time to complete the last instruction issued to it before it was issued another one.

ML can handle things at scale (not just speed, number of data points) that humans can't. Imagine a classification problem with 1000 dimensions -- humans can't keep in working memory that many entries. Granted, many of these are trivially solvable if you can scale them (e.g. human with a computer but no AI/ML), but scale is an important component.

It's kind of like how metadata isn't that big of a deal until you have enough of it.

No problem. I've switched a laptop and my PC to Solus (dual-boot with Windows for gaming), and so far I've had fewer problem than I had with e.g. Ubuntu and other "mature" distributions. If you need support, there is the #Solus IRC channel on freenode (where lead developer Ikey Doherty is very active), or the Solus subreddit[1].
Development can be followed on Google+[2], Twitter[3], and in the #Solus-Dev channel.

You have the source code and can create a build that works like that. The current way it works, which is with a whitelist, makes it a lot harder for some malware to exist and hijack a protocol and this is, in my opinion, a good thing.

Remember that Firefox is used by millions, and a whitelist is a measure that adds a bit more safety to the millions out there that are not as tech-savvy as you and still want to browse the web.

I don't think this has anything to do with degree vs no degree. I see software engineers without degrees being paid just as well. I think it's just an incredible demand for software devs from companies with ridoculous amounts of money pushing up salaries.

Note that this is where it becomes clear that wealth inequality is important. If a few organisations have outsized amounts of wealth then it pushes up prices for everyone.

Well, it's a complicated question, and I'm not that well educated.

To my best knowledge...

1. You can't make a single cent if your bot visited facebook.com 100 million times. You can make some serious money if your bot visited some-exciting-domain.com, which belongs to you, and there was 5 ads displayed on each visit.

With this incentive you have all the reasons to make your bot very human-like (think headless chrome, realistic mouse movements, having old cookies, etc) so fighting fraud gets extremely hard.

It's easier to serve the ads and let advertiser figure out anti-fraud measures by himself. Being responsible for measurements and lack of fraud on open web is a huge PITA without clear path to huge uplift in revenue.

2. Facebook optimizes UX (or claims to), and calls to other servers make site slower, especially on mobile, lowering user engagement. This argument obviously does not work for some-exciting-domain.com. So, you can call whatever your want from your ad on some-exciting-domain.com, but on facebook.com you play by facebook rules.

In fact, some-exciting-domain.com can probably ban ads which call other domains, but it will just kill his revenue (programmatic systems will label him as "non-performing", because nothing is properly measured and stop buying ads there).
Interesting, thanks. So it should be possible to define f() and g() such that neither of those are computable, but the truth of f(x) < g(x) is computable, but not so much for f(x) < g(y). Could one construct a couple of monotonically increasing uncomputable functions with that known relationship?
No way man, if you would have taken that low offer for that job you would have been scammed.
I would enjoy not having a credit score. However, I also don't take loans out.

--EDIT
Not sure why I get the down vote. Pretty neutral comment. I think the credit score is just a sham. If someone wants to get a loan I don't see how a single number has any bearing on reliability. It boils a multi variable question into one number. Further, the number could be quite misleading. Also I don't think any 3rd party should have this data without a written contract from the individual. Maybe that will get more down-votes, but I at least can see some disagreement in that. However, "I would enjoy not having a credit score" is just a statement...

I view loans negatively. If I can't save up for it. I don't need it. I am certainly not going to pay more for something thanks to that pesky interest. I also got rid of all my credit cards 5 years ago, and made certain to never take out any more debt. Not even for a house.

The only exception I could see is if I started a business as it allows for additional cash when needed. For example more orders than anticipated, and I don't get paid till the customer has the product. Either, customers suffer delays or infuse some extra cash to increase cash flow, but then immediately pay it back.

Critical DevOps Practices
That does not always help, though.

A while back, I tried to connect my Bluetooth headset to my low-end notebook. As far as dmesg could tell me, the Bluetooth chip was detected and worked just fine. But it did not detect any devices that were around. After the headphones failed, I tried again with my phone and a tablet (I have too many gadgets, I know) - the result was consistent throughout: The notebook did not discovery any pair-able devices.

After about ten minutes of this, I decided I am too old for this crap and got my good notebook. This time, the notebook discovered the headphones, like it should, and it happily paired with the headphones, like it should, but every now and again, the Bluetooth connection just dropped, and the notebook could not re-discover the headphones until I rebooted it. dmesg was ominously silent about this, it merely pointed out that it had killed the Bluetooth daemon (but I suspect that was a result of the driver or the BT chip misbehaving).

To be fair, otherwise both notebooks work perfectly fine, and I also have no idea if a "Driver Manager" would have helped me with either of these issues. And it is not a deal breaker for me either, because do not normally use my notebooks for anything that requires headphones. But I did run into problems that I suspect were caused either by the hardware or the driver, and dmesg did not help me at all.

In case it matters, though, both notebooks run openSuse Tumbleweed, but I have a hunch neither of these problems is distro-specific.

EDIT: OK, so this was not about enumeration. But still.

My own experience with the Apple Watch battery life is that its just fine. It could be longer, sure.

Wearing the watch for 23 hours a day is manageable if you are diligent about when you charge it [1] and when you use flight mode [2]. Personally I do not bother with this but if you were someone who valued sleep tracking via your Apple Watch then you can find ways to make it work.

Consider the "self taught - no college degree" realm of the software industry. Its rather large. Clearly, no degree is required.

On the other hand, here is someone who has completed a degree and gone beyond. Clearly they have the ability to learn new material. Furthermore, they attained a proficiency at least that of the self taught - no degree segment mentioned above.

Now, given a "you can make $150k/year as a software developer" vs "you can make $100k/year as a ME" there's something to be considered. Additionally, if thats instead a "you can make $70k/year as a junior engineer getting the necessary time to become a licensed engineer for the next few years" ... well, there are student loans to be paid off.

Cloaking is a hard problem. People have a massive monetary incentive to improve cloaking tools, meaning that basically every technique you can think of to detect malicious behavior dynamically has a finite timeframe to where it is no longer useful.

Based on what, exactly? That seems high, especially for mechanical engineers (who don't make as much as software engineers).

The general rule of thumb I've seen is as you become more experienced, stock becomes at least half of your compensation, so you're expecting $350k for a moderately experienced engineer? Obviously some people are paid this much in the Bay Area, but I'd hardly consider it normal.
Racket v6.12 Released
Yeah I felt like searine was tone policing a little, but your characterization is... not helpful?

> 1) people with the correct identities (LGBT, POC, women, etc) should be able to express themselves as rudely, angrily, or abusively as they like;

It's not about correct or disfavored identities. It's about people who have been oppressed by society. If I chopped off 20% of your paycheck, you'd probably be angry about it. If I then were like, "whoa, there's no need to be angry", that's super dismissive. You can't do something bad to someone, and then come down on them for reacting angrily.

It's also not "as they like". It's really only specifically about social issues.

> Instead they must take the incivility, be supportive of it, and desperately and submissively search for some kind of positive meaning in the nasty statements.

Basically none of this is right. "submissively"? Really just understand that our culture makes things harder for people who aren't cis straight white men, and don't give them grief when they get frustrated about it.
