The interesting thing is that society really strongly rewards confidence, even when you are wrong... but having a certain amount of self-doubt, I think, is fundamental to sanity for all the reasons in the article; sometimes, even when I'm really sure, it turns out that I'm just... wrong.
I don’t know where the metaphor is supposed to go, but I’d imagine that the next stage for AWS is to move further into SaaS products, and to introduce new products and features that lower the engineering overheads of operating on AWS.

Actually DNS would benefit from transactions, it would allow to detect attack much more efficiently, or to analyze them after the fact.

It could also help analyze tendencies and adjust.

Great question, and definitely one of the operational complexities of the business.

Our thesis is: by relying heavily on software from day one, we can actually do it with a small, super-highly-skilled team (rather than a giant army of folks.)

If the task can really be done by an arbitrary person somewhere without context on the business itself, I suspect we can execute that same task ourselves in software (only with much higher consistency and much lower cost). Transaction categorization is a great example of this, actually.

I think the alternative—scaling by just hiring a ton of people—is compelling because it's short-term easy but long-term hard. By analogy to a software system: if you scale with an army of people, you're building a giant distributed system of super-unreliable hardware (the error rate of people is pretty high!), and you can't reprogram it by running "git push".

I'll venture to make a stronger statement: if you care at all about consistency of quality, I think you have to do this mostly in software -- because otherwise the quality of your service is going to be entirely the quality of the individual bookkeeper you use, which is fundamentally going to be pretty variable.

> They incidentally trap light, but it's more accurate to say that they trap the future.

That's an extraordinarily poetic way to put it, and not wrong. But I'd say that the black hole doesn't trap exactly the future, but rather prevents it from occurring. Due to time dilation the theoretical observer falling into the hole observes nothing special at event horizon and indeed time slows and asymptotically stops.

That observer is forever falling, forever seeing out, slower and slower.
I have a controversial and maybe stupid question that is probably unanswerable one way or the other.

If you're going to murder your parents over a conspiracy theory is there any reason to assume you wouldn't murder them for a dozen other reasons? How justified is censoring a platform for millions of users because of one mentally ill user?

Is there any evidence that being exposed to certain ideas "pushes someone over the edge" any more than what they can come up with in their own head or without technological assistance? I've read some stuff about school shootings that suggests media coverage encourages "copycat" attacks.

I'm not just trying to be a contrarian or apologist for a murderer but the causation here seems rhetorically appealing but realistically sketchy to me. People have been killing each other over politics since as long as recorded history.

Yes. But also "abusing" C's permissiveness with pointers to get pascal strings that interop with standard functions. It get's passed around as a pointer to a char array but the length function would return the value at that pointer - sizeof(size_T). In most languages this wouldn't be possible.

T420 for the couch and on the go. Solid little laptop you can get for cheap. Works great with coreboot.

Dell Latitude e5550 for work. Shit reflective screen, medium battery life and some problems when using multiple displays. But it got rather stable over the last kernel upgrades and is a okish laptop for work. Ok keyboard and trackpoint, but like I said reflective screen which is normally a nogo for me.

> When did conspiracy theories become harmful?

A long time ago; see, as an example—but not the first harmful conspiracy theory—the theory of a worldwide Jewish conspiracy that was a central element of early-20th Century anti-Semitism.
I couldn't find any mention of Pizzagate in that article. However, they claimed his problem was the his Father supported "leftist pedophiles" which sounds like it would have been related to Pizzagate, but could have been related to something like Epstein or human traficking and 100s of millions missing in the strange, mysterious and horrible world of charitable work in Haiti. Either the way this offender is a particular idiot for what he did to his Father, among other things.

Per the article, the fact he acted out so horribly didn't surprise me when I read that he was involved with Gamergate--a horrendous display of aggressive, toxic behavior in the gaming community. I am a gamer, and I know that neo-Nazi, racist, sexist hateful ideologies are alive in gaming communities from my time spent playing games like TF2 and CS. They're kind of like 4chan--unmoderated, except the people are angrier.

> For professional RTS players, not only is your tactical decision making a differentiatior, but also your ability to manipulate the various UI menus as fast as possible.

Is it, though? What original StarCraft did right, and what was likely a big part of what made it popular as a pro game, was that you could do almost everything with the keyboard. Storing and recalling groups of units, selecting commands, abilities, moving the screen around, etc. - all of that was just one keypress away, and easily-discoverable one at that. About the only thing you need the mouse for in pro SC play is pointing and clicking to select units or target commands you've activated by keyboard. In particular, you don't navigate any "UI menu" ever.
Not just society, institutions and groups. But individuals as well. It's probably hardwired in our brain.
I'm still working on this.

Best idea I've got so far is to save all my notes as individual ideas in a database, tagged, then use them for deliberate lateral thinking - randomizing - reflecting. But also searching for themes when needed.

acthar, epipen and even oxycontin have $10 competitors which have been shown to be at least as good for their use cases. The belief that they do not (which is encoded into some medical recommendations and public policy) is a testament to how effective that marketing is.

In fact, oxycontins claim to fame is its uniqueness in how long it acts for and therefore reduced addiction potential, which does not actually work this way.

The “non competition” belief is itself a marketed reality for many drugs.

Especially when you consider that most supermarket labels will also include the "price per unit weight" or "price per unit volume" on the shelf with a smaller font, it becomes trivially easy to compare which bottle of soap is going to get you the most for your money. Or maybe you neglect to do this (simply opting for the container that looks the most appealing rather than optimizing for the amount of liquid per dollar you'll receive) and as a result you have to suffer the catastrophic consequences of spending $9 per month on dish soap when you could have spent $7.20 instead.

The funny thing is that some of the asked are all arithmetic are constructed in such a way that you will get a "wrong" answer if you treat them as practical financial questions as opposed to purely arithmetic ones. For example, one of the sample questions in the article is "If a litre of cola costs $3.15, how much will you pay for a third of a litre?" This seems to be asking you to take $3.15 and divide it by three, but as a practical matter, it would be folly for me to take the price of a 20 oz soda bottle and then assume that I could calculate the cost of a 12 oz can simply by multiplying by 0.6. This question isn't a test of practical or financial literacy; it's purely arithmetic.
Yeh but its tough when your family friends are in the same area. Everyone I meet suffer through the same issues. You could be right but it would be good to work on your self and somehow achieve the value first mindset instead of leaving the area.

Fusion - a commercial Mac emulator for the Amiga - actually ran faster than a real Mac at the time (mid- to late-nineties).

I sneaked out a couple of ROM images from the Macs at work, set up Fusion, and had CompuServe running on my Amiga back in 1997. Nothing else though - System 7 and 8 were complex, lackluster, slow, and crash-prone; AmigaOS really blew away the Mac, right up until OSX.

Look ma, undefined behavior due to signed integer overflow (on 32 bit targets anyways), despite only unsigned types being declared.

And what about the aliasing rules:

char *start, *end;
//This is a function that sets start/end to the start and end of an address range. It takes uintptr_t * arguments
GetAddressRange((uintptr_t *)&start, (uintptr_t *)&end);
*start=3; //Undefined behavior because we have now accessed start as both a uintptr_t and a char *.
People kill and die far more often for far more reasons than conspiracy theories. Censor driving videos because it might make someone crash their car? Censor Islamic videos because it might make someone beat their wife? Censor the news because it might make people fight in whatever popular war is happening? False information seems like a particularly harmless thing.
Its good point to reduce the costs but wont you just want to save and make more money then ? I feel its something else...what prompted you to take this step ?

> 1. A sufficiently large distribution will contain outliers.

A sufficiently large enough example which failed to be stopped by investigators for a decade could easily outweigh thousands of outliers ultimately being a serious net-negative and outweighing such a dismissal of facts...

The fact such a blatantly wrong example proceed to scale up for a decade and encompass billions of dollars before being shutdown is quite a good example of how any one investigator's knack for detail in their own limited exposure to particular cases (as in your personal analogy) is hardly sufficient to dismiss the idea that all complex cases need not worry of SEC investigation. Quite the opposite.

If anything that means the SEC has smart people but only a limited capacity of attention as they tend to obsess over details in individual cases (as that is what is required in a significant percentage of them). So as long as you're not one of the easy cases (obvious ponzi schemes or involving large sums, significant amounts of people, or popular advertising) then it's not as worrying a threat as they'd like to make it appear.
I sure hope YouTube gives Wikipedia admins access to a constantly-updated list of which pages they're linking to from conspiracy videos, so that Wikipedia can lock down the editing in much the same way they do for developing news, or recently-deceased celebrities.
Off topic, but it's damn ironic that a video decrying rich, pervasive manipulators is hosted on a platform controlled by the rich, which then tries to guide people away from the video, by disabling its standard attempts to guide people toward the video, which ends up making the viewing experience better.
I kept my book notes private for years because I assumed it would violate some copyright law to post them.

But one day I tried it anyway. Kept it quiet. But after years, people kept discovering it.

Now the authors contact me thanking me for highlighting their book. And publishers offer to send me new books asking to be included in my list.

So... I guess they don't mind!

I think if you encourage people to buy the book, and aren't trying to replace the book, nobody will complain.

Sounds a lot like the current conspiracy theory of whites suppressing blacks which is leading to race violence in South Africa that looks like it's going downhill fast. Should they also ban all "slavery and racism is why blacks are poor" videos too? I can't believe young people are so keen on censorship and so afraid of ideas. That's cold war type thinking. I grew up between the cold war and extreme leftism where freedom of ideas was high, so that's my standard.

Makes me wonder. Could you have a hollow black hole?

I rather think you're being extremely dramatic, and with zero justifications for why this would suddenly add a "large cognitive load" to Wikipedia (relatively to the load they are already sustaining today), or why it's a "new tasking" that will require new tooling to cope with (rather than reusing the tooling and processes they have been developing for more than a decade to deal with contentious topics), or why it exposes YouTube and the entire industry to "systemic legal and moral risks".

Part of why bitcoin was semi viable before it's intentional scarcity killed all of growth potential is that any society needs a gray market of things that are illegal but often essential for social mobility(like pirated textbooks and academic papers, or unmonitored cross border communication).

The problem for bitcoin arrived when people begun to see it as something that could be more then an underground activity and started treating it like an investment object and essentially reinvented the old failed concept of "wildcat currencies" with an intentional scarce currency, something made viable by the libertarian refusal to even look at the real world history of economics.

What we now have is a bitcoin economy thats hit a hard(intentional) limit of growth forcing people to branch away from bitcoin as the revolutionary application of blockchain in a world where some minor advances are made in actually using the underlying theory for something other then scams, creating a market ripe for new wildcat currencies pretenting to be be "what bitcoin failed to become".

Maybe? I find I have a "dangerous other" type reaction to people who seem too confident. I mean, I can get over it, but my initial reaction to a confident person tends to be quite negative; I pretty much immediately switch to "defense against salesmen" mode and only slowly start to consider that they might actually be competent after they have proven themselves, which is quite different, I think, from how I try to treat people in general.
