Got it.

I've been thinking on Aristotelian categories over the past couple of years. Thought occurs that all of them are relations, though with varying degrees of dependence on the observer.

Related, a ~1835 essay on value by W.F. Lloyd notes that all value is relative. That's not a universally held view, but is, I believe, correct.
Oh, totally.

But I was making a different point:

I was talking about impending regulations (per GP), not about the speech permissiveness of private platforms.
There's a simple and polite way to learn that - just ask some of them.

I don't think very many users would go out of their way to be vehemently pro-telemetry either. It's indistinguishable from spying. Most people just shrug off their own inability to counter it and carry on with their lives, that's why marketers and other scum are able to get away with it. But it's certainly not in the users' best interest - I sincerely hope you have that interest at heart.

I have been wondering the same thing. How would that affect employees though? For instance, employee movement within Amazon is straightforward today, but will that still be the case if Amazon went the Alphabet way?
React Dev Summit 2018 – An Online Conference for React Developers – March 26-30
Shkreli had an ongoing fraud and sec violations before Turing Pharma. Though it looks suspicious, his prosecution is coincidental with the Turing stuff and revolves around the truly atrocious management of his hedge fund.

Shkreli deserves what he got, but not because of his public bravado or raising the price of a drug, but because he actively embezzled money and created a Ponzi scheme.
I think you're ignoring the iterated nature of the game he plays. He is looking for founders to fund -- deal flow is the lifeblood of any VC. This is a signal like many other, and what it says is "As an early stage investor I absolutely have your back."

great decision
I'm leaning much that way myself.
If string theory ever catches on, Brian Greene would be the guy.
I would agree, if you take out the __declspec((dllimport) then it's just a 'static const restrict volatile long long int * ', which has lots of qualifications but isn't really much more then just a pointer to a `long long`. The qualifiers make it a bit harder to reason about, but that's also why people rarely use `restrict` and `volatile` in the first place.

I could be wrong but I think the above poster hasn't actually written tons of C, or else they would have picked a much more complicated example. If you throw a bunch of arrays, pointers, and function pointers in it quickly gets out of hand, like this:

int (* const(*foo)(int (*)(int, int))[5])(void);

That thing defines 'foo', which is a pointer to a function who's first argument is a pointer to a function return a int and taking two ints as arguments, and returns a pointer to an array of 5 const function pointers which take no arguments and return an int.

Thankfully, you rarely run into something like that in the wild. And if you `typedef` the function pointers (Which is a pretty common now) it becomes tons easier to read.

> We have shown that, within the boundaries of the arXiv corpus, there are no significant differences in aggregate between pre-prints and their corresponding final published versions.

The Case for Detecting Lateral Movement
If you rob a bank and then go to a casino and bet it all on 'Black', you're not absolved of that original crime if Black hits and you pay back the bank.

Shkreli lied to his investors (he claimed he had $55M under management when it never surpassed $6M), produced false financial statements, told prospective investors that his original investors had doubled their money (when they actually lost everything), raided the fund's money for personal expenses, backdated financial statements to defraud banks for new debt.... this is all laid out in the indictment: https://www.scribd.com/doc/293530336/1-main

If you think that financial criminals should face repercussions, Shkreli belongs in jail. Others surely deserve jail as well, but 'fairness' isn't letting Shkreli off, it's punishing the rest of them too.

One simple reason is that the Retail part of Amazon is a huge, probably the biggest, customer of AWS. I don't know true this is, but I could go one step further and say that they test a lot of new cloud technologies at scale internally before selling them to external customers.
I doubt "enough" people will do it. It takes some time to prepare and to go to court. Let's say that 5000 people do it,(IMO, not realistic unless organized by someone): 5,000 X $10,000 in damages = $50 million.

Say another $20m for My Cousin Vinny Attorney at Law used to dealing with such cases, and it's not a company killing expense. That's assuming that all win. You could say that word spreads, "he won $10k so you should file too," but I doubt it.

I think you're rather far off the mark here. NB: I work in this field, so, take that for what it's worth.

Yes, material recycling could be better from a pyrometallurgic perspective, but that's only an issue once a significant amount of batteries approach their EOL, so, 20+ years down the road.

It's clearly incorrect to compare the sum emissions of battery construction + lithium acquisition + cell fab + energy cost + implementation to just the diesel engine's CO2 during its burn. This is not even close to the same ballpark, as you're neglecting the costs associated with the extraction, transport and chemical treatment of the fuel.

Further, you're comparing the CO2-eq to out of date fab processes and cell chemistries, which, while based on a study published in 2014, means that it actually ignores significant industrial advances over the past decade. But, even granting little advancement in cell fab/chems, the comparison is wrong because the quality of energy available during manufacturing (the lions share of the CO2-eq) is better than the quality of energy available when the ship actually wants to use it (eg: at sea).

Lastly, comparing CO2-eq from the batteries to 100% efficient diesel is misguided. Ships don't typically use diesel--they use bunker fuel (with much worse CO2-eq than diesel), and the actual energy conversion is nowhere near 100% efficient. Inefficiencies made even more pronounced once you take into account regenerative effects on the batteries and the energy-availability delay of the fuel (lithium is on-demand, burning fuel has latency).
So I have a decent understanding of the mechanics of cryptokitties as a collectible game (you get a cat, it's unique, you breed it with others and try to get a cat with even better features).

So the benefit of this application vs a traditionally structured app (lets call it RESTKitties) is what?

That the external ledger of kitty creation and transfers is open and public for everyone? So you have more confidence that the central organization isn't manipulating the ecosystem in some nefarious way?
Anecdotally, one of the reasons that trauma surgeons from chicago and baltimore have a really pristine reputation is that they get a lot of practice.

"which led them to conclude that the outer rims of all disk galaxies take roughly a billion years to complete one rotation"

I was curious about "outer rims". I know little about astrophysics, but is the "outer rim" a definable thing? Because my sense is that, like a whirlpool (and planetary physics), material within a galaxy have different rotational rates depending upon their distance from the center of mass. It seems odd to describe "the spin" of a galaxy at all — but since they specify "outer rim" I expect that to have an agreed-upon definition.
I disagree with this, if you start going above and beyond on your work consistently people/co-workers/the company will get used to this and it becomes your baseline. Why pay more for someone already doing the work?

Achieving above your pay grade for a long period can also place you in the tricky situation of management agreeing to a raise if you up X/Y/Z, if you're already performing to a high level without monetary recognition then you're in a tough spot.

All this leads into why lots of engineers struggle to get raises within the same company and then with a few career hops will instead double/triple their salary.

The cost of the lost productivity from domain knowledge within companies leaving with engineers who can't get raises must be far higher, especially as going out into the current hiring market means you'll probably have to pay equal or more for a similarly skilled but without domain knowledge engineer.

"type and see what it does" is a strawman. Some people absolutely do program this way, I don't deny that, but there's a huge gulf between that and the levels of verification it takes to ensure that a large program really does behave as intended. Typos, minor oversights, unforeseen consequences of refactoring. . . the number of things you need to guard against is immense, and nobody can be operating at 100% 100% of the time.
Yeah, and it sounds more like RCE than a privilege escalation vulnerability. I wonder if there deliberately being brief and misleading about it to prevent attacks.
I think there is a difference between a preprint that has gone through peer-review but lacks a journal's formatting than an archive where you post your research prior to peer review.

In the latter, crummy articles are frequently posted for the mere purpose of planting a flag, and you have no basic assurances that they did things to a reasonable standard of quality. In the former, you just lack "publish formatting" which often just means "lowering the DPI on your carfully crafted figures with their crappy automatic article formatter."

I have a few reactions here:

1. Why should Epic go and reimplement anti-cheat that you can grab off the shelf?

2. A big part of limiting cheating comes down to the specific game design and implementation. You need a server implementation that is as distrusting of clients as possible, you need secure (networking) code, etc. Anti-cheat is not a cure-all.

3. Even without anti-cheat, Unreal Engine is still well-used by tons of single-player video games. I don't see it "unraveling" regardless.

I believe people have a hard time with Git because it's simply not user friendly. Once you've grokked a handful of essential concepts, Git becomes easy to use proficiently, but both the user interface and documentation are so user-hostile that most people never get to that point.

A few examples:

- `git reset` command can perform wildly different actions depending on its options

- `git revert` does not do what most users would hope it does

- if you actually need to revert your working tree changes, you might need to use `git checkout`

Naturally, people get confused and reach for the docs, which are filled with even more newbie-hostile terms like 'tree-ish', 'hunks' and 'refspec'.

As a result, people tend to see Git as this scary, incomprehensible hairball.
To this day nobody knows who Satoshi Nakamoto actually is, while that's not super shady it also ain't exactly transparent.
I mostly agree but I think there are too many weird UB and corner cases to qualify as a small language. I guess C compiled with -fwrapv -fno-strict-overflow -fno-strict-aliasing and a few others might come close to what you're describing.

I think C's apparent simplicity lulls me into complacency at times, I delude myself into thinking that I'm coding into some kind of macro assembly and I think I know what the resulting machine code will look like. And then some super weird optimization or UB kicks in and nothing makes sense anymore, because I stopped playing by the rules and I triggered the footgun.

Just look at the number of bug reports on the GCC bugtracker for code that at a glance ought to work and it turns out that it's actually not a bug, the code just triggered a subtle UB and the compiler ran away with it and generated code that ate your cat.

No. The system doesn't do any such thing.

Since the SEC only deals with civil penalties, they can act quickly and without the certainty required for criminal convinctions. They can also refer cases to the Justice Department, who can (and do) levy criminal charges.

Just because the SEC is the only body to publicly announce a resolution doesn't mean that Holmes or Theranos are off the hook criminally. The Obama DOJ initiated a criminal investigation in 2016 that is apparently still active and could absolutely result in jail time:

A lot of people simply don't understand why source control isn't a problem solved 100% by tooling in a way that requires little to no interaction at all. To them, hearing that they need to read a chapter about the internals of a source control system before working on a project is like hearing they need to understand the details of how a transmission works before they go and drive an automatic - it's inane detail about a workflow they shouldn't even have to deal with because technology has solved the problem, or should have by now.

I was on a team that was forced to transition from TFS to git. Among those who weren't excited about it, the majority of the questions, challenges and issues weren't even as far down the road as how to use git, they were mostly along the lines of "why do we have to do all this other stuff now? Today I go to this screen, click this button, my work is now safe and other people can see it." History is linear, full stop, and conflicts are handled by essentially forcing a rebase on commit. Some admin does branching and merging and emails us if there are weird conflicts, we don't worry about that. Why make it more complicated?

These folks didn't need git tutorials, they needed to be convinced that curation and management of source history was one of their job responsibilities, which was tough because it really wasn't previously, at least not in any meaningful way.

I wanted to make that distinction as well. It is very important. The internet and ed-tech have quite clearly been fantastic for the motivated learners who want to teach themselves. It has made imho largely zero dent into doing away with the credentialing problem. And the credentialing is the #1 reason people go to school i.e. to get a degree, social bragging rights, and a job, its essentially a showoff function with real monetary rewards. This is the main factor of why people go to higher ed. If it were to learn the system would look vastly different and have a much different design. This much, however, is not obvious since very few people will actually admit this is the primary reason - education policy legislatures included.
What I've been told is that people with ASD have a lot of the same issues with their executive functioning, and in many cases they can be diagnosed with both ADHD and ASD. Furthermore, it's quite common for siblings of those with ASD to suffer from ADD/OCD/etc.

However, one crucial difference is that the ADHD type of 'hyperfocus' is often in practice not as useful as it seems/feels, whereas the ASD kind of obsessive focus can be very productive and useful.

My personal experience, comparing myself to friends who have (severe) ADHD, is that a crucial difference is that I find it easier to see the bigger picture, assuming I'm not stressed (which is difficult to achieve), and can sort of channel my 'hyperfocus' in the right direction. These friends often struggle with this, and can easily spend hours or days doing something that in hindsight wasn't the right thing.

(interestingly, I feel that this 'problem' also has the upside in that they are often more artistic than I am, perhaps because a lot of what they do is not limited by a clear 'goal')

Retrofitting unicode support onto existing programs however is a hard problem

Go back in time and tell them to use unicode from the start? Reimpliment them yourself? Give up and say no useful tool for me?

There are a hundred reasons certain tooling isn't viable for your usecase; unicode support is rarely even close to being an immediate dealbreaker. Particularly because it can be sufficiently worked around.

A very good friend from high school went to one of the top Universities in the world. He was flat out brilliant, so none of us were surprised when he was accepted. But, we were very surprised when he got back after his first year and he seemed defeated. He had always been so much smarter than everyone else and suddenly, he was exposed to a world where he struggled with things other students seemed to find intuitive. By the end of his fourth year though, he had realized a couple of things:

1.) Many of the people who he thought had an intuitive grasp of concepts that were way over his head had been just as confused and lost as he felt. They were either better actors, or he felt too much shame to recognize they were struggling.

2.) Over the course of his program, every one of his colleagues struggled with something others found intuitive and found something intuitive that others struggled with.

The point of all this is that you are almost certainly not alone in how you feel. I think you'll be okay!
