That’s something you do by degrees over years. A couple years’ blip isn’t going to hurt that much.
> An honest take on the idea of a personal active trading should always mention the opportunity cost. Doing the necessary research is a job. One that takes significant time to learn, and one that will continue to take significant time once you've mastered it.

I agree - this is why it’s a particularly important caveat that even if you have the skill and wherewithal to beat the market, you’ll need to also do it without a team or software infrastructure. I’d generally recommend that people interested in this learn as employees of an established firm, then go out on their own if it makes sense.

Can you give an example?

> Also, it adds a very big dependency to distribute with your game if you want to bundle the deps or link statically, so the binary doesn't break in a few years when distributions will stop packaging Gtk+3.

Since distributions are still shipping Gtk+ 2, I doubt that this will happen "in a few years".
Yes there’s lots of ambiguity and the details will be hammered out over the coming years. You will be subject to audit and noncompliances will be notified. Only the most egregious “bad faith” violators will suffer fines in the near term. I fully expect a couple of high profile cases will be made to get the ball rolling.
Some people downvote because they simply didn't like / disagree with an opinion. In my opinion, a bad reason to downvote.

Others downvote (like myself, but not in your case) because something doesn't contribute well, harms, or is noise in the conversation.

It happens all the time that the former group will do their thing. That's to be expected, really, on an pseudo-anonymous public forum. People sometimes feel like they're voting on opinions and positions within a debate.
Maybe it's a smokescreen to divert resources away from potentially damaging climate research?
How about a moon base we could use as a base camp for missions to the outer solar system or mars?

H3 mining is another thought.

Edit: other ideas

* Autonomous vehicles sent ahead of time to build habitats for people.

* Large underground bases dug into the bedrock positioned at the poles collecting solar energy.

* Long tracks to launch things into space/earth electromagnetically.

* Mining of ice which could get split into H and O for propellant.

* Mining of other materials to be used on site or sent back to earth.

* Attempt to get people to be self sufficient on another world, even if it took a hundred years.

* Depot for deep space asteroid mining ships/drones to drop off their cargo and refuel/repair without having to drop all the way down to Earth.

There’s a good point to be made about manned missions to the moon. There are so many things we don’t know about the moon. See, for example, ESA’s “moon village” plans. The General Director gave a talk at 33c3 that—among other things—makes the case for prolonged human presence on the moon for scientific purposes: https://media.ccc.de/v/33c3-8406-the_moon_and_european_space...

I was in a similar position for a long time but then I found once you make it into one of the circles all of the others open up. It’s dumb. There’s so much untapped talent out there because tech giants are relying on “namebrand” schools or other companies to do their recruiting filters for them.

> If you write bad code in jQuery you're going to write bad code in a framework.

Preventing this is precisely what frameworks are for. A framework - a good one at least - provides a frame that has you code along guidelines (best practices, opinionated style devised by the framework creator etc.) and therefore prevents you from committing common mistakes.

Using a framework allows you to delegate low-level decisions to someone else, who - hopefully - is more knowledgeable than yourself in that area.
I feel in many ways that this is how NASA works. One leader says “My predecessor has no vision for a positive future. We must go beyond low Earth orbit and explore the solar system. I’m announcing renewed funding for programs that will send humans to Mars in 25 years. I’m introducing a bill that adds $2B to the NASA budget.”

And then the subsequent leader says “My predecessor loved spending money even while the people suffered. We cannot be spending billions on space exploration while people need jobs. I have let NASA know they’re going to have to tighten their belts and get to work with less so the people can have jobs. I’m introducing a bull that cuts $2B off the budget.”

Meanwhile, both leaders expand the military budget by $40B.
While they didn't pay the $35k, it couldn't have been cheap. I wonder how much was spent on lawyer fees to produce the documents presented in TFA. All of them thoroughly researched (to me, a layman) and presented. Looks expensive.
Unless you can make propellant on the moon, that’s going to be less economical than going directly. There’s nothing to be gained by going down another (albeit not very deep) gravity well. The base camp analogy doesn’t really apply.
It's way better than that: at the extremes the deep poverty of the poorest earns more money through usurious credit for the rich too.
It makes me happy that someone from the ESA gave a talk at 33c3.

I guess that feels a little like England setting up a base in Greenland as a supply depot to stop at before crossing the Atlantic to the new world. There’s way more stuff at their home base so it’s hard to see how adding a far off stop in a desolate place will help.
Not just anyone, the Director General! There was another talk by someone from ESA (I don’t remember his name) on the feasibility of a moon elevator (lunar surface to Lagrange point 1 iirc), which would be possible with current materials if we could just figure out how to get them there...

I was in the audience for both and it was absolutely amazing!
So many companies I've interviewed for are rushing toward microservices and containerization as the cure to all problems. The problem is that the champions often have no clue what any of this means.

I recently spoke with a company that had no testing whatsoever for a large production app. When I asked about it, they proudly said "Oh, we do CI. We have Jenkins!" Any tests? "We're going to add them after we move to microservices. Moving away from our monolith is top priority because monoliths are difficult to debug."

I see a ton of companies shitting all over best practices and then chanting buzzwords to pretend that they're all about it. That, or gross misunderstanding of any concept behind buzzwords.

X company uses Docker. We should use Docker. "Um. This code runs on an FPGA." "Does it run Docker?"
I think this overlooks the fact that mathematics is very specialised, segmented. Enormous talent in one strain of maths does not mean that anybody, following a slightly different course, would recognise the talent.

In China you know who is in charge. In the U.S you get all sorts of weird laws and policies and it's all a bunch of proxies implementing them.

One terribly insidious aspect to racism in America is how invisible it is to white people. We are so segregated that most white people will not learn about black people's experiences with racism organically. It's only through articles like this and cell phone footage of violent police interactions that we become aware of this cruel alternative reality so many people live in. The disconnect exists within city-limits, but so much more so across regional divides.

(Professional mathematician here, indeed one at a less prestigious institution.)

I would argue that medalists' universities have been reasonably diverse. For example, in the US since 1990, medals have gone to mathematicians from Rutgers and three separate University of California campuses. These are prestigious universities to be sure, but it's not like all the medalists are from the same two or three places.

> it would be cool to see some undiscovered mathematician

I think "undiscovered mathematicians" are very rare, for the reason that mathematics is an inherently social activity. We are constantly reading each other's papers, visiting each others' universities to give talks, and meeting each other at conferences. If you do excellent work, then in general your peers will learn about it and spread the word.
Clojure has a steep learning curve because it's purely functional.

Most programmers grow up with learning OOP and so throwing all of that out and asking you brain to do everything in reverse is challenging. I know having worked with a dozen J2EE developers in their transition to Clojure. It took at least 3 months to just be productive.

Scala for many people is just Java with a sprinkling of functional and they never really bother to learn the internals or the more complex areas like generic programming e.g. Shapeless/Cats.

Well, I think there's "actively managed funds" and there's yourself. Funds are companies with infrastructures, eyes on them, politics in them. And so forth. I think it's a valid point that it's hard to time the markets and such.

But as a simple person looking at companies you believe in, you can buy and hold. An example. If in 2001/2 when you saw an iPod for the first time, you thought to yourself that the company that made it has potential, maybe you bought some shares in it. That's just one of a lot of examples. Also it helps if you're in the industry that you're examining. We're in tech so maybe we've used some of the products that we believe in, and others we don't believe in.

So that's one consideration.

Also, hedge funds and asset managers do a bit more than buy and sell stocks. They do complex, sometimes crazy things that involve leverage, options/contracts, and very complicated instruments.

There's nothing WRONG with buying a stock index fund, but if you see a company you think might have a winning product, and from some quick analysis seems like it's reasonably well managed, then that's something.

Not everything has to be technical analysis of high risk biotech stocks, shorting strategies and so forth.

And for the retail folks like us, we don't have to "trade" actively, as in buy and sell every day.

That's my middle ground between "competing against high frequency traders or golf course CEO conversations" and "buy index fund and close my eyes for 15 years".
My product tastes are pretty mainstream, nothing obscure. In the early days I liked Windows and Netware as I did a lot of consulting work with them and had good runs with them. I sat out the dotcom boom and bust as I was putting all my cash into my gigs. In the internet era I liked the business Saas'es (SFDC, N, HUBS, BOX) because I believe in and understand that industry. I was amazed by OSX the first time I tried it so bought Apple. I bought Amazon, Google and SIRI pretty early when I saw what heavy users of the products me and my family were. I was blown away by the first Tesla I saw and bought that. I like the latest fitbits so I just bought some of that, let's see what happens to that. I don't look at the price or financials on either the entrance or exit so on the negative side I sold Apple a few years ago and missed the last half of the run.

The NTP Pool has very simple guidelines for vendors distributing software with hard-coded NTP server names. Very simply, they ask that you set up a vendor DNS alias. Details here: http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/vendors.html#basic-guidelines

The NTP Pool is an incredibly valuable public resource. It's run by volunteers, all they ask is you treat the resource with respect so it works for everyone.
"this is also dubious. It clearly does occasionally happen, but those candidates are also not as inexperienced as you imply"

Sorry, but no. It happens All. The. Time. Bootcamp grads are working everywhere, especially in SF. Throw a stone at the next Off the Grid, and you'll hit one, the stone will ricochet, and you'll hit another. These sorts of folks are readily employed in the writing of CSS and creation of web forms, which is ~99.8% of all day-to-day webapp work.

(Also: holding a physics degree and attending a bootcamp doesn't mean you're a competent programmer. Imagine suggesting that a BS in Physics makes you a competent structural engineer. The fact that you would imply this almost makes my point for me.)
Sure, hikikomori are an extreme example, but extreme examples are useful when someone is having trouble understanding a concept. I thought you were perhaps able to extrapolate that I didn't literally mean _only_ people as extreme as those examples, but everything on the continuous spectrum from there to "well-socialized".
How does "It auto-updates every time you deploy" fit with "The difference between my local, staging, and production is tiny"? It sounds like you have little control over your dependencies, and the differences between your local, staging, and production environments are the newer versions of your dependencies which you haven't tested against.

I like the idea of being able to precisely control both my code and all of my dependencies, so that I know for certain that I'm deploying exactly the same overall system that I tested. Containers are much better for that than the old way, because you could never be certain that your OS and system software were exactly the same in production as they were local and staging. But to achieve that precision, you need to use precise version numbers, and you need to install your dependencies from a local repository to be really sure.

> I've not heard of one good reason for him wanting to send Americans back to the Moon other than "prestige."

Not even for the inspiration? I mean look at how everyone reacted to SpaceX's recent launching of a Tesla into space. Everyone thought it was super cool and inspiring - and it was. Now imagine how much cooler it would be to send people to the moon again in the modern age. Yeah it happened before but that was a long, long time ago, and may as well have never happened for probably 3/4 of the people in America.

> Just because clever people win doesn't mean you will win because you're clever.

No, there is no guarantee. But you can develop an edge that is statistically distinguishable from random outcomes, and less formally, that distinguishes your activity from gambling.

> In order for you to win someone else has to lose.

Single trades imply a zero sum game in which one counterparty has to lose for the other to profit, yes. But the market itself is not a zero sum game. The net, aggregate result of trading activity is positive value.

> "But I'm recognising inherent market inefficiencies and adding value, not profiting off other's failed gambles". Phooey.

You’re doing both, if we’re being frank about it. This is a positive statement - it’s plainly true and follows from reasonably agreed upon definitions. You can assign a normative (moral) value to the concept of arbitrage in zero sum games one way or the other, but that’s not really relevant to the discussion at hand. If you don’t want to participate in active trading, you don’t have to - you can invest in passive index funds, which is a perfectly sane and well-reasoned decision.

Professional traders don’t try to disguise the fact that they profit from a zero sum activity between consenting adults. But that has nothing to do with the process of price discovery, which is a well-recognized economic concept that is facilitated by active trading. Price discovery is not a moral imperative, it’s just a thing that happens through economically incentivized asset exchange.
I am very much in the minority but I can't stand most of Akka.

It's overly engineered with too much clever magic and hence is very reminiscent of frameworks like J2EE Spring which is why people left Java to begin with.
I believe we're seeing a generation of developers with passions for things like client-side development and the "disruption" of cryptocurrency, who don't see the server-side as the true gold in the vault that it is.
If an enterprise adopts a technology that allows them to go faster, but doesn't change any of their processes to make them go faster, they have effectively thrown money down the drain. I'm sick of seeing tech companies eagerly switch out one tech for another without at least _trying_ to address the people and process problems.

Stop trying to reduce costs. Work out your cost of delay, and focus on getting things done more quickly and more effectively, not more cheaply and more efficiently.
I’m in a long-running Sunshine Law suit with a Missouri government agency, their Department of Health and Senior Services, over a simple request for what is essentially a big genealogy spreadsheet of the names of local dead people, some from 100+ years ago. It’s a very boring request, as these things tend to go.

But I have been shocked at the number of people from Missouri who have actively responded to news of the suit on social media not on the merits of the request whatsoever, but by saying that I shouldn’t win because I’m “not from there” and therefore this is “none of my business”, or that I’m “some California coastal liberal elite” (practically an exact quote), or that it doesn’t matter that many other states routinely make this data freely available (including Oklahoma, right next door) because “well, that has nothing to do with Missouri”, and so on. At least one of these people has a giant Confederate flag as her primary Facebook banner image. Some of these people have open-to-the-world Facebook posts about family involvement in white nationalist groups, discussions of the “Seth Rich cover-up” and how Obama will be indicted any day now, and use of language that would indicate close familiarity with alt-right fever swamps.

It’s been...enlightening.
How is that gambling?

A company has a product, which is sold to consumers. A company has a structure, which includes employee counts, capital expenses, and so forth. A company has a roadmap. And dividends.

It's not "zero risk" but to suggest that it's no different than tossing chips on a roulette number or a blackjack dealer is completely absurd.
HEMS is one of the few areas of emergency services that is _actually_ a dangerous line of work. It's on par with commercial fishing and logging in terms of fatalities per 100,000 workers (as opposed to "regular" fire/EMS/law enforcement jobs, which are safer than being a traveling salesman). I'd love to do flight EMS, but it's not a risk I feel I can responsibly take with a wife and kids (to put that into perspective, "crawling into burning buildings" falls on the other side of that line for me)

A large majority of the fatal incidents are "scene" calls (as opposed to inter-facility transfers), and stem from pushing past the edge of the envelope like this article describes. There is also some sad irony in the fact that the patients that are most likely to induce this level of pressure (those closest to death) are also ones that are least likely to benefit from the additional risk taken (i.e. they're gonna die anyway).

Around here the majority of scene medevacs are flown by the county sheriff's office. All of their pilots are former military aviators, and are very, very good at flying. I've watched them put helicopters places I wouldn't fly my quadcopter for fear of losing it... Their skills have definitely made the difference between life and death for patients I've handed over to their flight crews. I have a lot of respect for what they do, but I also worry for my friends that fly...
