Reiser: murderer, Ulbricht: drug dealer, would be (indirect) murderer. For completeness sake we could add mr. Madsen but his case hasn't gone through yet though I think he will come out as guilty as they come for now we are required to give him the benefit of the doubt. Nakamoto - if he even is an individual - has not been charged with any crimes.
The article it self focuses quiet a lot on the mental framework required to create the value. The consumer has to endow the bar with value by creating a complicated mental image of the process of creating the product and then consuming it. It doesn't pretend to have value as purely a status symbol, it certainly wouldn't be able to do that without existing brand recognition.

Point well taken, we'll make sure to add a comparison to 4 and 8 GPUs. For now, a "Cloud TPU" (containing 8 cores) seems to be the smallest unit to allocate. The question of what exactly makes up a single device and how many to compare against each other is not easy to answer.

"Why on Earth would anyone want to use a language with such horrific syntax?!"

What is it with statements like this? It just sounds like a 'meme' to me, that everyone hears (even from advocates like this one) at first that the 'syntax' (of which there is a lot less than most languages in a Lisp) is 'horrible'?

Of course, we, the learn-ed of Lisp, say that after a while the 'parens just disappear', which they don't, but they sure help (when combined with Paredit) in defining code like structures that can be manipulated with ease in your editor.

I know the author is just trying to do a bit of a 'sandwich' with the article, but please, advocates and enemies of Lisp, just give up on picking on the parens. It's stupid and been done a million times. It's like 'why do we have to type so much to enter programs! such a pain!'.

> It will probably depend on your hiring pipeline. In an established pipeline an engineer interviewing someone who can't code FizzBuzz is kind of a disaster. The recruiter asks their questions for the purposes of filtering out these types of people.

Our pipeline is run by the individual teams. All our recruiting team does is coarse filter the resumes for obvious rejects and collect basic information. All screening is done by actual members of the team.

I don't think it is a particularly burdensome, though it does get tedious if a req sits open for a while.

> It will also depend on what type of engineer you're hiring. Most people with a couple years of software engineering experience under their belt can probably code FizzBuzz. If you're interviewing recent graduates it's a different story.

I have only been involved in experienced hires, but the claims I read indicate the problem is just as widespread in the experienced people. That I cannot corroborate with personal experience. I can buy the new grad claim, though. It is disturbingly easy it get through a BSCS without being able to write a functioning program in some language.

I agree with what you’re saying about vodka, and I think as with many products a real range of quality exists, but that all goes out the window when you reach “prestige pricing” points. So yeah, Ketel One is smooth and delicious, and good wine is rarely up for $5 a box. By the same token I’m skeptical that most $50 dollar wines are not on par with $500 wines.

> If someone were to design a programming language with a learning curve as gentle as Qbasic, and wrap a simple IDE and graphics library around it, all while modernising some of its more dubious qualities...you'd have a real shot at recapturing the magic for a new generation of young programmers.

They did, years ago. It’s called “Processing”, and it’s very popular. It’s also used by a lot of artists to let them make active or interactive art pieces without needing to be an experienced programmer.
I love the concept of "a system where people have value independent of their productivity."

I worry that the increasing focus on a meritocracy (especially in tech) ignores the fact that it devalues anyone who for whatever reason -- lack of education, lack of natural ability, or just lack of motivation -- doesn't contribute enough to be considered important. It's probably an improvement on the system we had before, where you were valued for being part of the right community or the right family, but I hope this isn't the end goal, and that we can eventually get to a state where we consider everyone inherently valuable.
What about it makes you think they're frauds?

> curious to see what America's 3.5 million truck drivers do when they lose their jobs over the next ten years

That is a rather optimistic projection of the rollout of Level 5 autonomy. The total number of heavy trucks sold worldwide was less than 400k in 2014, and no one has full Level 5 yet (if it can even be done large scale at a profit), so I would adjust those expectations. Most 'displaced' truckers should be able to find work unloading automated long-hauls into smaller short-hauls and driving them during a lengthy transition period.

> your only options are to find a system where people have value independent of their productivity, make being valueless palatable, or just go die quietly

Points 1 & 2 are somewhat interconnected. If I add up the retail value of all my non-paid work, it comes to far more than I make at my day job, and I suspect this is true for many others. Much of what our culture calls "valueless" - because no money is involved - does actually have value, and this will become more clear as time continues to reveal how difficult automating everything really is.

We have already seen this, for example, with people posting what used to be called home videos (no revenue) to YouTube and stumbling into large amounts of ad income, and I believe we'll see it in more areas. It may increasingly be a 'gig economy', but it's happening slowly, and some of those gigs are turning out to be pretty good.

I'm in a similar boat. I'm trying hard to convince myself that containers aren't just a particularly complex version of applications that bundle their own dependencies.

Which is actually a fairly necessary thing, because, as is, many popular tech stacks simply don't have a built-in way to do this, and, even when they do, it's often not all that self-contained, and they all work differently. As a concrete example, I spent all of yesterday trying to get up and running with some sort of Spark/Scala notebook system running on my host machine, and it was an exercise in pure annoyance and frustration. This morning I gave up, rolled back that whole mess of packages and homebuilt binaries and environment variables and whatnot, and (re)installed Docker so I could give Zeppelin's Docker image a try. I've been working happily ever since.

So, I'm grudgingly accepting it. I also wish we had something less hacky. But tech in general is so duct taped together at this point that I'm not even sure that's a possibility. It's the solution we need, not the one we deserve.
Do you think immediate eviction as a remedy for late rent is comparable to fines for shoplifting?

If we had adequate state-provided housing available at short notice for any household, as a social safety net, then laws about eviction could be considerably stricter without violating renter’s basic human rights. I doubt you’ll find much support for that policy change from landlords though; the competition would likely reduce prevailing rents quite a bit.

Clearly tenant rights aren’t (and shouldn’t be) unlimited, but the protections for tenants currently in place were established to counter bad abuses by landlords.

Various measures to preventing shoplifting (whether food or cameras) are not really comparable in my opinion.

when I talk about the devastation of human dignity, I am referring to a distinct worldview that robs us of agency and purpose, that says we have no free will and no purpose as individuals other than to seek out our immediate happiness and pleasure.

You can see that worldview in the response to this article by some who suggest that it is not necessarily a bad thing that the people who abuse opioids are dying in such high numbers, that they are self-selecting out of society and society is better off for it.

I agree, that there have always been selfish and cruel people who exploit others for their own purposes and human suffering has always existed. And yes, people have always sought escape from that suffering in some fashion.

We are in a unique point in human history, though, where there are so many people living at a high material standard, but utterly divorced from any sense of higher purpose or meaning. That is the existential question that we desperately need to answer.

This is a proof of concept that is only available on their subscription service simply because the website version of 1Password is tied to the subscription service. If you read the article they said they'd be adding it to Watchtower, which is the feature built into the native client where it tells you about compromised sites. So once they add it to Watchtower, you'll be able to use it without the subscription service.
When I was a pre-teen, my mother once told me "I never want to hear about you...". I expected to hear a sweeping restriction and my brain was already primed to file the next tidbit with other adult "advice" - material that had no supporting context in my experience (largely because my experiences were so few, though I didn't know that then).

Instead she finished with "...committing any crime you can't retire on". It was a game-changer for me. This advice...had context. It wasn't a absolute "no", nor did it rely solely on experiences I didn't have. It extended on experiences I _did_ have into a broader area.

Throughout most of my teenage years I avoided all the worst situations that peer pressure was steering me towards, not because I suddenly properly calculated the risks - I could no more visualize the impact on my life that any kind of conviction would have than I could before - but because I was better weighing the _gains_. Instead of "doing this will prevent me from losing ranking in my social hierarchy" it was "doing this will not gain me material improvement". Instead of "if I fail I will get in trouble" it was "I will be disappointing because I tried, regardless of success".

Eventually, of course, I built my own ethics structure about why crime/rudeness/unnecessary risk-taking were undesirable, but this one statement gave me time to do so that I might not have had.

I highly recommend it to all parents.

Agreed. In Europe i understand that the threat to the bees that are not part of beekeeping, is the real problem. Insect populations in general in Germany, as an example, have plummeted by 75% in three decades. Many insects beyond bees act as pollinators. The focus on honeybees brings it to attention, but there is a much wider problem.

The lobbying from the German chemical industry against stricter regulation is very strong, and we are seeing the result of that now.

Not on its own. Fortunately, it wasn't the entirety of my answer to the original question. When you're writing something like `sequence`, you don't need to know the implementation of the interface you're working against. As you get comfortable in Haskell, more things are "like `sequence`". There will always be things that aren't - for those, as I said, you should look where the value is consumed. And as I neglected to say, you can always add a type annotation when things get unclear.

More in the US than elsewhere. In Germany, you obey the speed limit, and only rubes pass on the right. In the US, everyone drives 9 mph above the posted limit if they're being careful, and people pass on the right willy-nilly, regardless of what local laws say. But if the police really want to enforce that on you, they can.

There are tons of "blue laws" in the US, some from over a hundred years back. Sometimes the police decide to enforce those. One such occasion precipitated the landmark Supreme Court case Lawrence vs. Texas.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is what regulations are all about. If not for a federal law forcing Citi to audit for this sort of thing they would either never have caught that they stole hundreds of millions of dollars, or more likely just never have reported it to anyone.

> Most 'displaced' truckers should be able to find work unloading automated long-hauls into smaller short-hauls and driving them during a lengthy transition period.

If a million truckers lose their long-haul trucking jobs, how do a million short-haul trucking jobs simultaneously come into existence? Many long-haul truck already go to distribution centers on the outskirts of metro areas so the long->short-haul transfer systems already exist.
