It's 3 months old, not 3 days.

I have been here 8.5 years. I just recently changed my name cuz reasons.

Overall, I get pretty well received. That doesn't mean I don't stress about it, etc. I am at times characterized by commenters as just having a chip on my shoulder about one thing or another and simply harping on it. So it isn't just me being paranoid. My concerns are based on observations of how others perceive me at times.

To be clear, it is not a criticism of the mods. They have been incredible. But I have been thrown off (or run off) of other sites. It would just be easier to remove me than to tell everyone else they need to figure out how to behave better towards me.

Frenkel was tenured at Berkeley in his early 20s, at an age when most people are still in grad school. His mathematical achievements are substantial. I've no doubt that he was on the list of candidates for the Fields at some point in the late 90s & early 2000s.

I worked on this concept for a while, it's very interesting to work over the "fog" instead of the cloud. Calling fog to all those devices around you and connected to your WiFi instead of devices on some datacenter, it's a nice and interesting technology for distributed storage. If you think about how many devices we've and the storage available on those, it's an interesting concept to work on. Kudos to this guys.
I have been saying this for years, but most consulting companies insist on managers who have no clue what they are talking about.
It's kind of interesting that that's now a distinguishing factor from SV, since that used to be seen as one of the defining aspects of the Valley's take on tech. While you needed a degree to work in "east coast" tech like IBM or Bell Labs (ideally a masters or PhD) the West Coast ethos more idealized a kind of Woz/Jobs style college dropout lifestyle. Although I realize the latter is not precisely "blue collar" either.

I have an S6 edge, which has been surprisingly sturdy, much probably because the metallic chassis juts out slightly above the glass in all corners, and it appears to provide a quite reasonable protection. A custom home screen app / loader fixes the most atrocious software issues, and the device is well balance and nicely sized. But yeah, they really should try stop fixing Android by adding crap software and crazy home screen junk.

But, then they made the S7, which looks like if it had somehow accidentally swollen after the design was done. Quite literally as if someone simply increased the thickness of all the interior parts, and thought: -Should we bother to fix the outer bezel so it looks reasonable, and protects this amazing screen masquerading as a phone? Naaah, I'm already late for lunch.

And then the S8. I guess ot went something like this. Hey, look, Apple made a phone without any tactile features whatsoever, it's super easy to drop, and the biggest versions even bends if you sit down with it in your pocket, we must do something similar!!
We have this infinity screen trademark, so lets make a painted bezel that doesn't protect the sceen at all, with no tactile feedback, and oh, did I mention the bezel is painted? It's a premium feature, because of the lack of a clearly visible border, we can make it so the screen will look banged up even before the screen has actually become damage!!

I had some hopes for the S9, that they might have realized that only Apple can make super slippery phones with dubious usability and have everyone rave about how amazing they were. Apparently, they either haven't figured ot out, or we actually now have two phone producers that can sell expensive everyday tools that appear to be made to break.

I don't get it, at all.

Anytime you artificially set price floors and ceilings you have unintended consequences. Why put the burden on private businesses?

There is a better answer - keep the minimum wage where it is until it becomes meaningless because of inflation and increase the Earned Income Tax Credit and make it easier for employers to pass it on to workers each month. They already take out taxes, it shouldn't be hard to do the opposite.

The EITC has historically been supported by both Republican and Democratic presidents.

Perhaps carpooling hasn't been incentivized enough: the current in-app economics for 'pooling' appears to be an increased time to destination but decreased fare (+/- social interactions with driver and passenger(s)). If congestion is a function of cars on road, car size, number of passengers, and path to destination, then perhaps shorter rides with more passengers in smaller cars should be incentivized more. This seems to lend itself to toll-roads/congestion-charges for different locations; this may be a gateway to a managed congestion area that is served exclusively by human-driver ride-share vehicles - could this improve congestion in those areas?

Very interesting Paper, though i would really want to see if games like Besiege could actually be used to teach classical Physics.
Given the context of this thread, and not an alternative situation that I am sure you can dream up, yes: Mathematically, 1/3 of minimum wage is greater than the only alternative: No wage at all. Considering the scope presented, I am unconvinced that begging will be viable. It's already a struggle today, and would only become more difficult in the the situation presented.

I'm not convinced this hypothetical situation presented is realistic to start with, but that is well beyond the topic at hand. The constraints are what they are.
I agree with this. I was destitute when I was 18, but I managed to come back through a series of part time jobs. I've always lived within my means but since my job do not really pay much anyway, it's very hard to save.

Now that I'm 40 and poor again (lost my job due to cutbacks), it is impossible for me to recover. Getting new jobs are much harder and people are pretty discriminative towards my age. Nowadays, even employers choose younger people for part-time jobs, since I'm over the hill agewise and overqualified.
Yes, but you're acting as if they're not better off. Minimum wage workers will be better of despite a slight increase in the price of goods.

I'm not actually really suited for programming but I love tech and problem solving, like I do write stuff in my free time, I just take forever to get anything done. I've taken up going to as many hackathons as I can, I've attended 2 this semester and know of at least 2 more I'm going to be at. However when I'm at these things I rarely find myself writing any actual code and more of just making sure everyone is on task and finding resources for everyone to leverage. I find myself acting as a project manager most of the time. I don't know how that's going to look to an employer, but the teams I'm on build stuff that apparently the judges like.

Idk if these events count towards experience, but I feel like I'm getting better and better at getting people to the end goal.
The human condition is as good as it can be at this point in time - To try to change it, damages it. E.g. A child feels loved when they're accepted as they are, rather than pushing onto it things the parents wished they had done or ideals the parents wished they lived by.

Sometimes, to yield to the current gives strength.
Without going into too much detail: I am exactly one semester away from a degree in the natural sciences but can no longer afford to attend classes - I am a single father with 3 children (two of which live with me) and I pay child support every month to my ex-wife who makes ~$80K per annum. I played her way through graduate school but she left and we divorced very soon after she finished school.

I am almost 40 years old and I have been looking for a steady job for months...but imagine trying to convince someone to hire you for a job with the schedule restrictions that come with having multiple children in a lackluster economy.

I could go on but the message here is simply that poverty can easily be a self-perpetuating condition that becomes extraordinarily difficult to extract oneself from. It often seems like I am caught between multiple Catch-22 situations like some sort of 6-dimensional Chinese finger-trap.

Easy by the rest of my comment maybe I didn't illustrate it enough but a lot of people share ideas on how to fix it without truly understand it. Poverty is easy to fix. It's the giving up personal wealth to prevent it that's the hard part. As per the link it basically says the same crap everyone says, the "Helping the homeless is hopeless" narrative. Now saying that once you're screwed you'll never be able to think 'normal' again... c'mon man.
The S9 does have a headphone jack...
I read a while ago a researcher's website specialized in puzzles. He claimed (informally) the only really "deep" puzzles that can keep you hooked are based on NP-hard (or harder) problems. Polynomial-time puzzles according to him just depend on finding a "trick" after which you can solve most puzzles relatively quick. Specially O(n) puzzles. Which is the case for this planarity puzzle! I did enjoy the few ones I did, perhaps I didn't "get" the linear-time algorithm right away.

NP-hard puzzles otoh, are hopeless for hard instances and general algorithms. Both the designer has to give it more thought on making instances that are not worst-case, and you have to rely not on general-case algorithms but an increasing set of heuristics and intuition to solve. Brute force is completely hopeless.

The same goes for two-player games. If the game can be solved in polynomial time, one of the players will find a trick (the polynomial time algorithm essentially) to always win (or depending on the game always draw).

> the whole effort was all about standardizing Lisp

There are more Lisps now than ever, so perhaps that was not as successful as was hoped.

> why not just say Scheme or Clojure when talking about Scheme or Clojure?

Why not just say "Common Lisp" when you mean Common Lisp, and "Lisp" when making true general statements that include other things that have always been considered Lisps? How are we to refer to Emacs Lisp without tying ourselves in knots if we refuse to say that "Lisp" includes it?
Although it can also be a strategic advantage to be underestimated. Love my Midwest life and it is an odd comfort when big city elites denigrate the "flyover" states. It's fully fine with me if they stay right where they are.
That's a list of the potential reduction in emissions various solutions offer. You'd need to add together all the solutions relating to electricity generation (for example) to determine the impact of electricity generation as a whole. (And that's assuming that the listed solutions combined will address the whole of the problem, which I doubt.)
We're no google but I have lead the software department on techical decisions and scaling for the past 3 years as the company/startup tripled in growth. We are a tiny power rangers sized team, I probably just have angst in my comment as there is one particular employee who was recently hired before me stepping on that goes left when I "and everyone else on the team" says go right.
Does KC have a startup culture yet? There's always been ample engineering jobs (sprint, cerner, garmin, dst, perceptive, etc) but that's what I imagine you're describing as traditional (as opposed to the less euphemistic "blue collar")? Those jobs provide a vastly different culture that appeals to a very different type of software engineer than you'll encounter in the Bay area, Austin, Seattle, Portland, NYC, etc. That culture is precisely why I left KC. It felt too much like I was living in a Dilbert cartoon.

I agree on education though: KC places a very high level of importance on a degree as opposed to ones ability to get things done. This was a decade ago, but I lost count the number of BS/MS/PhD CS-degree-holders I interviewed in KC who couldn't code fizzbuzz.
As others have mentioned, the ad isn’t a good use case for this kind of blind marketing. There is simply no hook, evocation and it’s not emotional. It would work better as a landing page video to further explain the service to an already engaged potential customer, but not to new prospects targeted with route filters.

I think it could work a lot better as is if it was used for retargeting. i.e. people who have already been cookied and visited your site but haven’t yet made a purchase, or clicked through on some of your email marketing.
Because Ocaml is easily the ugliest of all the ML languages. I will never understand why Ocaml became the popular one. SML is much more elegant in my opinion (and even adding all the good Ocaml stuff to SML still leaves a much more elegant language).

The further reason is that SML is very popular in Academia (perhaps that is its downfall). The same holds true for things like lisp where Common Lisp is undoubtedly the most used, but scheme is usually an example language because it is more elegant (and with fewer warts).
I don’t think there’s necessarily a conflict between having empathy for people unconditionally while still asking questions like: if times were at one point good or OK but you’ve fallen into hard times now, why did you not have savings? People ask these questions because being miserly to save is hard and unpleasant, and then when others seemingly haven’t saved, it’s emotionally difficult helping them. I see people using benefits cards buying food at grocery stores that I would never allow myself to buy. It’s not something that fosters empathy within me.

My family came to this country with absolutely _nothing_ and my parents saved and saved and saved to accumulate a safety net. The point of saving is so that when you lose our job you don’t face imminent castrophe. If you lose your job and you’ve saved you can migrate and find a job elsewhere. But millions of Americans don’t do this. It’s hard to feel bad for them when you put so much hard work and deny yourself so much just to save.

But I’m not saying anything new: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ant_and_the_Grasshopper
> the West Coast ethos more idealized a kind of Woz/Jobs style college dropout lifestyle

I think this is romanticized. Many startups require college degrees, and the crazy algorithm interviews really aren't passable without a strong CS background. Hell, Woz probably wouldn't have passed one of those interviews (and Jobs wasn't really a developer though he had some early technical roles)
Is it even tractable?

Not being facetious.

I can't see the explanation you say exists.

I suspect that there's a missing qualifier to parent's comment --something like 'from people who haven't lived what I have lived' -- but absent that it sounds like other people's experiences are of no or negative value.
Yes. Or just a few hundred years ago when courts were for nobility and the king’s men acted with impunity against commoners like you and me.

The point is that the courts and police, although vilified in this day and age, actually by their very nature do help the poor and destitute. Just maybe not as well as they could, ideally.
A house has to appraise at the sales price or else you can't get a mortgage. You can, technically, "over pay" but that would be from savings which most people don't have. Also most first time buyers don't put 20% down so it's even harder to overpay. As for cars you should buy a new car at a low interest rate and hold it or buy a decent used car. You have to figure out the math here b/c after cash for clunkers used cars cost more... then again you can sell your new car for more later as well.
I have no question that people who have built brands believe that it was successful. We can even look at "big brands" like Coke -- they sell sugar water + a brand -- surely that must be real.

My nuanced take is that a brand "exists" in the sense that we are able to understand it, what it represents, etc. What we do not know is if that's the best way to spend resources. All the money that went into Intel Inside -- what if they spent it on something else? No marketer can know that; the question as a marketer: "is this the best thing I can do with my resources?" Nothing about "building a brand" provides objective feedback or testable predictions about the usage of that dollar.

Suggesting that TV advertising can't be a scam because so many people have put so much effort into it is another fallacy. Old school TV advertising was done by people whose jobs dependent on the revenue stream -- even if branding were completely ineffective; if they got paid, I wouldn't consider that irrational.

Brands happen. They can have value, but we can only try to prove that value after the fact.

Direct response, on the other hand, tends to be less full of b.s.

>Most people think about a dollar as a dollar.

They're correct. You should spend the same amount of time to save a dollar on A as you do to save a dollar on B. And you should spend 100x as much time to save $100.

If you're willing to spend 10 minutes to save $100, then you are only willing to spend 6 seconds to save $1. If you can't immediately identify a way to save $1 that would take less than 6 seconds, then don't try to save $1. Each person has a different time/dollar ratio. Some people might be willing to spend 2 minute to save $1, and thus willing to spend 1 hour to save $30.

ML should get more love. If PolyML or MLton had received even a fraction of the support behind golang, we'd have a language with all the upsides of go (simple, concurrent, typed, etc) and none of the horrible downsides (not functional, almost zero abstraction, empty interface, no generics, pointers, etc).
I often see people talk about potential positive feedback loops involved in climate change, but rarely are potential damping mechanisms mentioned. So let's talk about them. I'll share one.

Methane consuming bacteria discovered under the West Antarctic ice shelf:

"The scientists say that if their analysis is correct, it could mean that a large reservoir of methane thought to lie under the vast West Antarctic Ice Sheet -- which encompasses 25.4 million cubic kilometers (6.1 million cubic miles) of ice -- is less likely to be released into the atmosphere."
I resonate the feeling and agree that people need to also take responsibility, however I see people all the time making poor choices, and it isn't just poor people. If you're down on your luck, that $6 coffee ritual may be not sound so bad at the moment. Someone who is exhausted, and probably malnourished (surprisingly common in America), will say to themselves...
