It's interesting that the author explores Brown's malaise as a philosophical matter (turning from dualism to materialism), rather than as a mental health or neurological issue; even suggesting that it may have been addressed or fixed by a shift in Brown's world view.
The reason you are downvoted, is because there's one part you're extremely wrong about: Increasing housing is not a "band aid". It's the lack of supply of housing which is the ENTIRE cause of the housing crisis. Any solution to the housing crisis MUST in some way increase the housing supply, or at least decrease housing demand (say by getting rid of jobs).

Even without lots of rich people/capital concentration, you would still have the same problem (housing prices wouldn't be as high), but the percentage of people able to afford a house would remain the same.

Supply/Demand is the problem -> Supply is not allowed to increase to meet demand and at the same time we're encouraging all kinds of demand by increasing the number of companies and jobs in CA. It's like playing musical chairs with 1000 people and only 5 chairs. No matter how you split up those chairs, there's gonna be a lot of unhappy people.

Similar experience here. Walmart is also terrible at this. Amazon Fresh/Prime Now is reliable 90% of the time. But I've had them cancel deliveries just 1 hour before scheduled time once.

SQLite's INTEGER type is 64 bits, and its REAL type is double-precision (64-bit) floating point. Either type is quite sufficient for representing a time. :)
Object allocations really are a big deal with Ruby. My Ruby compiler project has been really slow moving again over the last year, but as far as I can tell the current main hurdle is a basic garbage collector, as even adding various object caching, I actually exhaust the 2GB heap (the compiler was started when i386 was a reasonable initial architecture choice...)...

Granted that's worse that it'd be for MRI, as it includes allocating actual objects even for Fixnum and Symbol (MRI uses tagged values for both and just pretend they're "real" objects), though I added caching for both that cut hundred of thousands of allocations..

i am not entirely sure what they mean by that. the service fee goes 100% towards the shopper fleet and is an essential part of a reasonable compensation structure for all of our shoppers -- if we switched entirely to tips, the folks that (e.g.) actually picked out your groceries, checked out & staged your groceries at the store, would not be compensated. this is because tips have to go 100% to one person, which would only be the delivery person -- and in our case, any one order is handled by many people to be efficient.

I sort of agree? I think it's important that people take data privacy and security seriously. I don't think someone, however, needs a nuanced understanding of what constitutes legitimate interest for data processing, or needs to have an attorney from every country or region they do business in on standby.

The issue is that vendors (CRM, marketing automation, etc.) are trying to offload too much of the risk and accountability to their own end users, which leaves startups piecing together tech stacks that are sometimes not even legally compliant in their default settings. Not OK.
Facebook is about sharing memories, and "static" content. One can use Facebook to read the same "group" that has been around forever, or to looks at memories from the day/week/month/year.

As a result, it's a good fit for people who are only occasionally online.

Everybody else wants to live share what's happening right now. Whatsapp is great for this, as it allows instant group chats with ephemeral ad-hoc groups.

Instagram is great to share what just happened, without a UI polluted with older and unrelated content.
What you suggest is actually a way.

How would the auditor verify having received the complete dump though? It's not like there is a verifiable index of the material available to Wikileaks. Also I think it would be hard to satisfy the critics; next to the impossibility of securing funding for such an undertaking. On top of everything else Wikileaks would risk exposing their sources.

So please don't say it's easy for Wikileaks to get an audit.

Looking at it from another angle: If leakers are unhappy how Wikileaks is publishing, they may well decide to leak somewhere else too. That happening would actually lend credence to the claim that Wikileaks is redacting for political reasons.
Though I would agree that the option to have stricter type checking in SQLite would be a good thing, I don't think your criticism is fair in this case, since it sounds like a case of poor discipline on behalf of the coder(s).

Ads > Doesn't matter.

So what do they do?

You see yourself the same way 16th century missionaries saw themselves, you think you're civilizing the barbarians but you're destroying someone else's way of life.

You are conflating high taxes and high government involvement in everyday life with a high quality of life and that's simply not the case. It might have been the case where you came from but it's not the case where you went.

They might not be the greatest at articulating it but the people who disagree with you are disagreeing with you because they have a fundamentally different view of the responsibility of government and the individual to each other (on the local level or otherwise).

You need to learn to think in terms of value. Does X increase quality of life enough per dollar to be worth it. If you don't learn to think about value you'll eventually run out of other people's money.

I have thought for awhile, and continue to think, that developers avoid "premature" optimization too fiercely. Yes, there are diminishing returns with optimization effort, but too often people interpret "avoid premature optimization" as "never optimize unless it feels slow, and even then only if it feels slow when it's the only thing running. Otherwise, blame everything else that is running first!"

I recently met up with an old roommate who still keeps a NAS with TV shows and movies and he had tons and tons of stuff on there that you simply can't find anywhere. Lot's of old kids shows for his daughter, old stuff that you could only get on MySpleen.

With everyone moving to streaming and not having the wall of DVDs/BluRays/VHS tapes, we have lost something, but stuff isn't on streaming forever. Things rotate out, and fewer people are actually buying media. Even with eBooks, you're paying for a license to see that media for a limited use.

Thanks everyone for your comments - I had no idea this had generated such interest. I've forgotten to update my bio, but these days I'm in fact a PhD.

Studying the impacts of blockchain and other distributed trust technologies has been my day job since September 2016. I freely admit that these are just my interpretations and I may be wrong; that's the point of writing articles like this.

That said, I do stand by my analysis and believe blockchain technologies are greatly overhyped relative to what actual value they do add to existing systems. The great majority of users are fairly happy or at least indifferent with the #1 bugbear of most crypto enthusiasts - trusted third parties - and it is far from clear that simply getting rid of them (and substituting hazy, informal, unaccountable governance structures instead) is ever going to be the killer app some people seem to think.

However, there will also be many use cases where blockchains and e.g. DAGs can and will be used to create real value very effectively. Just today talked to a company that's doing interesting things to help car rental companies streamline their processes - that's one example of what shared ledgers and smart contracts can do to really decrease transaction costs. However, I do predict that the majority of sustainable use cases will gravitate to more or less private blockchains, sooner or later. This company had chosen that route from the beginning.

One thing I would add today to the text is a caution against thinking that existing incumbents can be toppled simply by duplicating the functions of their databases. Databases are ultimately the most valuable asset of many trusted third parties, but their value proposition includes MUCH more than just having a reliable database. One thing coders generally are poor at grokking is that things like user experience do matter, and generally blockchain systems are far from being designed from user experience in mind.

Another, probably even more thing entirely, is customer service and error handling when things will inevitably go wrong. Immutable ledgers are by definition poor at handling such things, yet there is considerable evidence that people tend to be very wary of adopting a system if they fear that they can make a mistake that has serious results. Existing third parties have understood this, and offer a lot of services and design features aimed at assuring customers that if something goes wrong, they will not suffer.

These are interesting technologies and a lot of people are partying like it's 1999 again. But I do suspect there is going to be a through of disillusionment in our future as well.

Saying that "all lives matter" is genius says a lot about you. Also using the expression "white knight" says the same things about you. So it's not that I'm "presuming" anything, you told me things about you.

But tell me more about your problems. I would genuinely like to hear what problems you have that you're dealing with by telling people that "all lives matter".

Did you guys ever reveal the internal math model of TPU 2?

"32-bit floating-point precision math units for scalars and vectors, and 32-bit floating-point-precision matrix multiplication units with reduced precision for multipliers."

So what does "reduced" mean exactly?
> Almost every interviewee has a git(hub/lab) account with code they're written, that should suffice to determine if they can FizzBuzz.

No, almost every interviewee does not have public code, and what's more, that should be irrelevant to your process. Your proposal here selects for people who have a lot of free time or few hobbies outside of work (or a combination thereof). It's not selecting for ability. Ideally each candidate should receive the same interview; having public code shouldn't bypass what candidates without public code have to do.

> You could also ask them for a coding sample prior to the interview if they have no public code.

I could, and I'm personally a fan of that. But it has its own problems:

1. The assignment can still be perceived as condescending by prospective candidates. Are their feelings about this less valid than if I asked the question directly on a phone interview? Where is the line between reasonable and unreasonable contempt for a mundane task in an interview process?

2. You're still selecting for people who have free time. They either don't currently have a job, or they have free time outside of work to complete your assignment. Unless your assignment takes a trivial amount of time, in which case we're right back where we started.

> The solution is simple, nobody does it because it asks the interviewer to do more than skim the resume before walking into the room. I think this comes from the perception that the interviewee's time is cheap compared to that of the interviewer's.

The solution is emphatically not simple, or it would have been done in the industry already. Many people want it to be solved on both sides of the table. Your perception appears to be that interviewees' time is so valuable it's reasonable for them to be offended by a programming question so far below their (apparently vast) level of ability. You're asserting a hypothesis that interviewers are not respectful of time and saying they can't be bothered to review a resume, but it's fair if an interviewee can't be bothered to answer a simple programming question in an interview? Moreover, people lie or exaggerate on their resumes, which diminishes their absolute utility - like I said, I've seen senior engineers fail FizzBuzz.

Alternatively, both sides can simply acknowledge that there isn't a simple solution and that everyone's time is valuable, then excuse the other for asking questions that are specifically designed to save everyone time. You're free to ask such questions and apply your own filters, too.

Pending good motherboard support for 2160p60 (4K 60Hz), the $169 CPU looks like a great choice for a 4K home theatre PC. Just a few months ago I built a Ryzen 1500X based HTPC with a geforce 1030 passively cooled card.

The geforce1030, based on a slower version but the same architecture as the 1050/1070/1080, gets me hardware accelerated H265/HEVC and the capability to play most MKV files without dropping frames at up to very high bitrates. Typical playback for something like a 2160p60 24GB copy of the original Blade Runner is at about 18% CPU usage on all four cores using a recent VLC beta.

But the total money spent was something like $89 motherboard + $89 video card + $165 CPU. It would be nice to not have to buy the video card.
>I'm not sure how you conclude that the PhD has been earned.

I didn't say it was. I stated the thesis was finished. These are distinct.

The latter requires a defense of the thesis before a committee, and in pretty much every decent PhD program, is merely a formality since the advisor should not let the student defend until he/she is ready. I had my thesis finished long before I did my defense, and I passed that months before the PhD was conferred, which happens at graduation.

Here's [1] a speech given before his thesis defense, so I suspect he has passed his thesis defense. So either he got his actual PhD at the end of the term or is waiting to get it at the next term end.

>When an author puts credentials in the title of an article, then credentials are on the table as a point of discussion.

Neither PhD nor Doctor appear in the title or in the article. You brought up the PhD silliness. A PhD is neither required nor implied in this post.

I think the main takeway is that people not necessarily want it for free, they just want it convenient.

Why would I buy a game in the store when I can just illegally download it? Why would I pirate games when I can easily get them on Steam? Why would I download a series when I can watch it on Netflix? Why would I try hard to pay for my non-netflix series when I can just download it? Why would I go out and buy a CD when I can just illegally download it. Why would I download MP3's when all is available on Spotify anyway.

From this reasoning, I think the future might hold: why would I open a bank account and do slow wire transfers when I can just use cryptocurrency?
