A few years back, I was backpacking through Central America and spent a few weeks in the highlands of Guatemala staying with a Mayan family while taking Spanish lessons.

Part of the deal was you ate dinner with the family, and they cooked for you.

One of the first nights I was there, she made this amazing rice and meat dish, which I assumed was some kind of traditional Mayan thing, so I asked her what it was. After a few minutes of her struggling to understand my Spanish, she hopped up, walked into the kitchen and came back...

What about back catalogs, though? Only the labels can provide those.

Edit: Just remembered that Spotify may already be doing something like this[0] for certain areas where name recognition and back catalog don’t matter. A very clever approach, if they commissioned more tracks like these and filled their playlists with them, and concentrated on growing the areas of their user base that listen to those kinds of playlists, they could decrease their dependence on the record labels.

> early wolfenstein and doom days.

Wolfenstein yes, Doom no. Wolfenstein 3D used a very simple raycasting method that just shot rays out from the player's position to render a 2D level in psuedo-3D. Doom, while still technically using raycasting, uses a much more complicated method that involves BSP trees.

A quick google search found this page, which explains it much better than I can: http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Doom_rendering_engine
Well, normally you wouldn't draw power over that resistor, I was thinking more in the direction of using the power line as a "sense" pin for the stepper and power was provided properly via a transformer.
I guess this is another example of the sort of tension caused when we make laws intended to have law enforcement save us from ourselves.

So you work for the child porn police. You sit in your office and wait for someone to call you ... but no one does. It turns out that the people who have and trade child porn are not interested in talking to you. Everyone else tends to avoid child porn. So what do you do? The very fact that you are being paid to police child porn means that the citizens must agree that you should be able to do your job. So that means that it is OK to start rooting around in the normally private places that child porn is stored. So you do that.

Now the citizens are complaining that you are invading their privacy. Well OK then. Why did was this law made if it was not intended to be enforced? Oh, it was intended to be enforced? Whatever, this is stupid, so you continue doing your job, but in total secrecy, now that it is obvious that that is the only way you are going to to be able to do your job.

A good employee is often willing and able to compensate for the irrationality of management. This is a common problem in all forms of human endeavour.

They already have a price label. And I expect companies that produce it to pay market price for the robots, washing machines and electricity.

And if they don't, let's fix exactly that, not just patch up a problem a couple of steps down.
NTP, but for electrical grids
It definitely does.

And very interesting thoughts come up, especially when you add newer developments like non-rotational-mass-based power sources (solar power, batteries, stuff like that) into the mix. Because at the moment with the high number of traditional steam-powered generators, the rotating mass of the turbines and their inertia serve as a kind of buffer against sudden swings in electricity demand with an ultra-quick response time of "basically no time". As a second buffer stage we have the steam supplies in the plants, which can be quickly accessed just by opening a valve, thus the response time is non-zero, but still quite short.

Now replace all those generators with some other power sources without those inherent balancing capabilities (that probably weren't explicitly built into them, but that just happen to be there because of their construction) and you'll get a network that is much more vulnerable to sudden changes on the demand side. Now, explicit mechanisms of storing energy in a way that can be accessed in literally zero time need to be introduced into the network, just to keep it stable and to provide other regulation mechanisms (of which a lot of them also have to be re-thought) with enough time to do their job.

I wouldn't wonder if there were already plans for building large rotating masses with motors on them that are kept at network frequency, with the motors switching over to serve as generators when the frequency drops.

None of the Founders, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Larry, or Mark decide to change the world from the first place. They changed the world as a consequence of their success, not their Goal.

It will mostly mid way through their success did they realize they really could "shape" the world for the better.

Now a days every single bloody ( mostly American )company, not only just Startup, decide they should have a mission statement to change the world. And if you are not in this dream, you shouldn't be working for this company.

DHH is merely stating the obvious truth. You really aren't changing the world or you dont have to and that is ok. But in the Silicon Valley world of absolute optimism, stating such boring truth is consider pessimistic.

If anyone's thinking of making a clock that assumes the average frequency is 50Hz: Don't do that. There is no commitment to having the average frequency be 50Hz. There is a commitment to keeping frequency close to 50Hz, but no one in the energy industry is thinking about the average. So don't build things on top of that.
And how will they blame a crash on the driver, when the paper say s/he was sleeping?
Not mean, average. That's a very important distinction because if it was mean, then it might never correct, but it does.
This is a little tangental, but tangental to a couple of the themes here...

One tangent is that I'm totally dissapointed with the dominant "content aggregators" like kindle, netflix, spotify, apple and such.

Amazon wrapped up the ebook market quick. But, even though it's a revolutionary change in medium, very little changed.

The book publishing industry was ripe for change. Physical publishing gradually got less expensive and less risky. From physical typesetting to short run modern printing. ebooks bring that capital cost down to $0. In response, publishers maintained their "venture capital" status with advances (money upfront to authors) and (supposedly) "marketing," the impression that a publisher can make a book sell.

The point on publishers' marketing importance is dubious, especially in the context of amazon & ebooks.

Advances, editing and the remaining jobs publishers do... The value/cost does not add up to 80-90% of the revenue. Typical royalty rates (5%-20%) are absurd. Amazon could have disrupted this, easily. It would have completeley changed the industry, and made writing a viable living for many more people, producing many more books.

Also, mediums. Magazines famously spawned whole new formats and genres. So did things like paperbacks, pamphlets and other medium changes. Serials and shorts stories. Comic books and gossip collumns. The internet gave us blogs, tweets, infographics and PG essays.

Ebooks gave us digital versions of paper books. The impact has been minimal.

It is as if amazon did their very best to revolutionize books, but change as little as possible.

Spotify did something similar, maintaining and reinforcing the norms of artist-label dynamics, even though they are completely unsuited to the modern industry.

My second tanget is a point on the cost that does scale linearly: customer acquisition costs. This generally means FB & Google. They started as free discovery (customer acquisition from the customers' perspective) and became paid customer acquisition tools.

Today, they are mostly paid customer acquisition tools. This means (a) that these guys charge a toll on certain sectors and (b) that ability to pay this toll is a major factor of success.

It sucks to be in a market with head-t-head competition. These markets are efficient (especially on adwords) and the price of acuiring a customer tends to stabilze near marginal revenue per customer. IE, whatever your margin is on customer, it goes mostly to google.

If you earn less per customer (per impression, more accurately) than the competition, these channels are closed to you. This results in a uniformity of business models. Examples are many, but think of all the subscription food delivery, maid services, laundry, etc.

If you are offering one-off housecleaning and your competition is selling subscriptions, they will probably outbid you on adwords. You will need to change to a subscription model to stay on adwords.

Free discovery channels (eg, HN) have (had?) a totally different dynamic then the paid ones. I think this is an important thing to realize, if you're starting a something these days.

I really dont like the Trump administration for various reasons, but one thing they have done right is showing firm hand against China. Especially when it comes to the artificial islands in South China sea and also the attempts to buy western technology by buying companies and institutions in US.

I don't have social media profiles. Only HN and Reddit, where the latter is unimportant, and the former, well, nothing needs to be done.

Any digital asset worthy of a look are in my computer (and in a separate backup drive). All my personal data resides in a special volume, which is mounted at a directory under root path, and almost everything under $HOME is a symlink to a directory in this volume, or in some cases a symlink to a directory symlinked to another directory in that volume. At the root of the volume there's a Readme.org file, which lists all the important paths.

Among tens of gigabytes of data, there's actually a few megabytes worth saving: all my notes (agenda, research, etc.) and writing (blog, research, literary stuff), all of which conveniently are located in a specific tree, most if not all in Org mode format; and my bits of code, should I produce a project of importance in the coming years. I use pass(1) and gpg to encrypt lost of stuff, including passwords, all of which is better never recovered.

This was not a personal "doomsday" plan (given also I'm still in my twenties), but it all emerged naturally from the normal way categorisation and hierarchy among files and directories work. And I recently added that Readme.org file to formalise the fundamental bits of such hierarchy and categorisation. But I do reflect on, from time to time, things like "what would happen if Fernando Pessoa encrypted his $HOME?"

It's interesting that the US has advocated free trade whilst also being one of the biggest advocates of sanctions for countries with administrations that are not so sympathetic to its plans for them.

Perhaps what the USA wants is not really free trade but "free trade": new markets to sell labour-derived goods and services to and resource suppliers with very low wages, low standards of services and low food prices in order to maintain its (slipping) financially dominant position in the world.

Viewed from this angle the move makes sense and remains consistent with long-term policy goals. The stance of the current presidential administration is merely convenient. Whether it works in the long term remains to be seen.

I'm a long-term critic of the US administration's trade and foreign policy and do not gladly suffer any who are unquestioningly sympathetic with it. So I have a hard time admitting this, but the consequences of the US' global trade empire falling are unimaginable to me: I see more ways it could end up in a significantly worse global situation than a marginally better one.

If cryptocurrencies are the currencies of the future and they're not just an investment product for people who want to get rich on hype, prove it to me very simply; spend your cryptocurrency.

Really, it's that simple; use all of them to buy something disposable, or even invest them if you want, but if you can't bear the thought of being separated from them for something else then I just don't see how their deflationary model is offset by their ease of transaction. They're supposed to be the medium of exchange between valuable goods and services, they're not supposed to be the valuable good itself.

I would say that it makes total sense not to be able to identify oneself in those categories, because they are white-black options and we are influenced by many variables to be absolutely certain about them. For example, you could be a morning person but there are weeks in which you don't sleep well for whatever reason, so your mornings are a mess. The same happens with being introvert/extrovert. What if, when you feel confident because things are going well, you are more extrovert than usual? what if you have a period of time doing public speeches, getting used to them and you get less exhausted than usual when dealing with people? What about enjoying traveling but not alone? or traveling with a purpose and not just for tourism?

I also think the dot product and other vector operations are more naturally the thing you're actually trying to do in the end. We generally start with a vector (say a movement command to take our unit to a certain location) and want to end up with a vector (acceleration to apply) so going through angles as the intermediate step makes little sense logically. This is true even in 2D and without speed constraints. Moreover, angles often leave you with a tricky case to handle where you are going "over 360 degrees"and there is an unnatural discontinue discontinuity.

That's good, you're not the same person from day to day after all. As we all should know by now the continuity of the Self is mostly an illusion. Most people, however, decide once during their lives that they are, for example, "not a morning person", and never stop to revise their self-perpetuating beliefs. In our endless quests to categorize and label everything in the universe, we end up doing the same things to ourselves and our own self-images are often composed of simplistic and hastily-formed judgments and categorizations. It seems natural that people don't know themselves, an extreme (but common) example being a bodybuilder with body dysmorphia.
