While I agree on your main point, I think that you are confusing marginal tax rate with average tax rate. E.g. the 2017 federal income tax for a single making $300k is in the "$46.6k + 33% in excess of $191k" bracket. This means an average tax of 27.5%. Same for state income tax. So you aren't quite down to $150k/year.

That said, one _does_ face a marginal tax rate of over 50%. So any _additional_ income opportunity is basically cut in half.

On the other hand, an addition expense (but pre-tax) is retirement savings. People in their early-to-mid careers (especially those making $300k/yr) should not be planning for getting anything out of social security.

How frustrating that their expectations of what learning is supposed to be like sunk your project, and not something related to their actual attainment.

Did they report spending more time on it than during the traditional lecture based course? I could imagine the flipped classroom ending up making many spend more time out of class on a course, which then makes it seems like the course forces the students to do all the work.

Of course, the work of learning is always done by the student anyway, but it's less obvious when a large part is listening to a lecture.

Potential solutions that I can imagine is to put in some traditional lectures, maybe denser at the start, so that you are seen putting in effort too.

Also, making sexy posters about the "new, revolutionary, methods being used for this course" could maybe change some of the incorrect expectations about what learning is supposed to be like.

I'm leading development on a React Native app using AppSync.

So far it's amazing.

It leverages Apollo for offline/GraphQL capabilities and Apache VTL to bind resources.

It also integrates really nicely with AWS Amplify.

One thing that was a bit of an annoyance was access levels.

You can authenticate with the GraphQL api using a Key, IAM or Cognito JWT

Key is for development only.

IAM does not expose Cognito Groups to VTL

JWT requires an active session.

So we had to create a "fake" account for non-signed in access.

Use case being, a "guest" can read data from the API but only "admins" can write data to the API

> The bottom line for me is that we are finally seeing some useful decentralized applications being built for consumers on these blockchains.

I don't know if the word "decentralized" should be used so merrily. Research was published recently [0] showing that the blockchain protocol requires a central authority to prevent coordination failures and externalities. Maybe these "useful decentralized applications" should come with a caution sign to the consumers: "product will not only be slower and more expensive than the centralized alternative, but there is also risk of coordination failure and double-spends".

It wasn't a migration as much as a bottom-up rewrite of the entire bpy and big chunks of blender itself. Most of the bindings are generated by makesrna at compile (compile compile?) time which is fairly simple once you go deep diving into the sources.

It actually takes a fair bit of shenanigans to get hand-coded bindings into blender, my last(?) patch was bindings for the kdtree and I had to do some convincing to get that accepted. I'd guess that 99% of bpy is generated bindings.

If they stuck with python 2 when they started the initial overhaul they'd probably still be using it since artists are very vocal when their scripts break.
Study links shale gas boom and sexually transmitted infections
Runaround: in following the letter of the laws, the robots put our protagonists in danger of dying, which would obviously violate the spirit of the first law.

Reason: the robots decide to redefine the term "human"

Catch that rabbit: robot ignores first law unless forced by humans in a sticky situation (though this one is a bit ehhh)

Liar: to avoid "hurting" the feelings of humans, a mind-reading robot hurts them in a much more real way

Escape: due to a technical interpreation of hyperspatial travel, robot prevents humans from discovering hyperspatial travel. Vilating first law in the long term since humanity couldn't survive without a means of fast space travel.

Evitable conflict: machines decide that the only way to perfectly follow the laws is to take control over humanity, which is the exact thing the laws were supposed to prevent.

Little lost robot: you said it

That's 7 out of the 9 stories in I, Robot. I have noticed this in most of his short stories and novels.

Build the right thing.

We spend so much time and effort on building-things-right. It's much more important to build the right thing. Usually (not always) boils down to information flow and feedback loops.

I'm so far in the weeds right now with the book publish date coming up it's for me to provide a good overview. Here are some comments from my alpha reader group (I do not know these people and they are not paid in any way for these recommendations)

Hey Daniel,

Got info about second part of Info-Ops, will get to the details later today. But I just wanted to give you quick info (while not very useful at this stage I assume, but still...) - few days ago I finished the book. I loved it. It's written in simple language, easy to understand and digest even for not-native speaker like myself. So that's very good.

The bad: I wish I read it two-three years ago, would make me much better software developer!"

Daniel,

"You know, when I first got to know you, I thought you were a funny guy, but arrogant. (Yes, I am aware of the irony.) After reading the beginning of this book, I realize you're not actually arrogant - just really fucking capable. This may be the best book about process analysis I've ever read. OK, I have to admit it may actually have been the only book about process analysis I've ever read, so there's an inherent grain of salt there, but damn. This stuff is truly fantastic. Very, very well-considered and thought-provoking. I am truly and unironically happy you've given me the opportunity to read it...Seriously, I find this roughly on par, in its level of thought-provocation, as Doug Hofstadter's work. I might have a slightly weird way of looking at it, so don't derive any expectation of universal acclaim from it, but I do mean it. Damn fine work."

"Daniel. Wow. I didn't know you had it in you. I'm eager to keep moving forward. ... I like your approach and wondering if you can or were at all all looking to at some point to speak/teach/consult on the topic? (We could use at current client!)"

"I'm Ola Ellnestam a software developer and team coach/lead. My job is to balance software development with regards to process, delivery and collaboration. I didn't know what to expect from Info-Ops, I thought it had to do with DevOps and information. A few chapters in though I realized it gives the reader a concrete way of looking at, understanding and in a way, manage the information that flows through a software development effort. It helped me understand underlying problems with that flow and how to deal them. It also gave me new ideas on how to work with semantics in software development in a more pragmatic way. If you want to know how to create a shared mental model in your team and beyond, read this book and I am sure you can become the grease between business and tech."

"CBOE and CME futures being cash settled in a joke"

How do you mean? The CME S&P e-mini is cash settled. In fact all of the equity indexes futures products are cash settled.

"...and removes any incentive for the risk associated with the long position actually acquiring BTC"

They contract settles to a VWAP of physical transactions of BTC and converges to this point at settlement. It currently has a bid/ask price that surrounds the bid/ask of Gdax. I would say the risk associated with the futures contract is... effectively the exact same as physical holdings, less the risk you have of keeping large amounts of USD or physical coins at the exchange.

"further proving the large traders just want to play with the tool for speculative market volatility and not actually facilitate using or acquiring the asset itself"

I think your logic up to this point is flawed and that the conclusion you are attempting to draw is both baseless and lacks a point. If the purpose of "large traders" was to just "play" for speculative market volatility then... so what? I suspect you don't think that markets require speculation in order to become liquid and fair, so perhaps we live in different worlds.

Additionally, "not actually facilitate using or acquiring the asset itself" -- just for giggles: how many people that you know that screw around in the coin space are actually there to _use_ the coins as currency? Effectively everyone I know is just trying to ride the rollercoaster and make a profit and don't really care about the far off future of the stuff.

Tax Day 2018: Americans Reverse the Late-Filing Trend
The thing I've found most effective (but hard to do in practice because it takes time): take very minimal notes, just during lecture / seminar, just enough to remind yourself afterwards what it was about. Try to write more detailed notes afterwards and make all the logical connections the lecturer skipped (there are always some, you can't say everything in 50 or 75 minutes). Then, if there are holes, try to fill them by reading or asking.

But that does take a lot of discipline and effort. It's not easy to do for every class you're taking, but sometimes worthwhile.
Your first link is extremely prudent at drawing conclusions. it may well be that too much consumption of pornography decreases one's ability to get to the same degree of arousal in real life. But the meta-study doesn't say anything about the effects of being exposed to pornography as a teenager, and even suggests that these effects are only temporary: quit watching that much porn, and you'll do better.

Your second link is about correlation between consumption of pornography depicting violence against women, and expressing views supporting violence against women. It does not say anything about causation. It's not very surprising that men who support violence against women would consume pornography depicting exactly that.

The two links you provided say absolutely nothing about porn exposure as a teenager. Even if there was a detrimental effect (which the 2 studies don't say), it doesn't mean that monitoring and filtering is an efficient solution, especially at the expense of a healthy relationship with your kid where they trust you enough to have a discussion about something that shocked them.

Students seem to equate being personable, nice, witty, and entertaining with good teaching. Perhaps the word "teaching" necessarily conjures up lecturing. Much of the work on producing learning outcomes is in picking the textbook/materials, finding the pace, creating the evaluation/feedback mechanisms (tests/quizzes/informal methods), and designing the projects. These factors aren't included in what students perceive as "teaching".

We have embedded wallets in the browser with things like MetaMask, which lets you execute Ethereum transactions by clicking buttons, fetching data from the blockchain to display on the webpage, etc.

Dapps are still evolving. Some offer utility from fulfilling niches that are vulnerable to centralized power; ie. a decentralized Youtube that won't take down your video. Some are safer/cheaper implementations: ie. Hexel (YC) a platform that lets people create/manage tokens, like if you wanted your community to be able to send/use tokens.

A mistake is assuming you need to put everything on the blockchain, and a new product should be fully decentralized. But in most cases, you can still deliver utility by having only the important pieces on the blockchain.

I see no point in that. It's trivial to do in several hours from scratch.
They're built in, like most cognitive abilities. After all, you never learn how to take a 2 dimensional pattern of light hitting your retina and turn it into a 3 dimensional model of your environment. Ditto for locating the source of sounds. And, while you learn a specific language, none of us have to develop the general skill of learning a language from scratch as toddlers.

On big social media sites do they have a gigantic staff that is responsible for reviewing content that is reported? Or is it based on the percentage of people who saw and reported something?
It does - you can do offline with Android and iOS too: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/appsync/latest/devguide/building...
But that's not what you suggested. You suggested a "proactive" approach by which I take you mean letting the kid hack on this stuff at least partly on his own.

That _is_ a romanticized notion in our particular case. On his own, he quickly runs into obstacles, gets bored, and then fires up YouTube after about 5 minutes, in order to veg out.

I do teach him programming, though. He also does some more with his math tutor that comes in on weekends. He is kind of frustrated with our efforts at educating him. He thinks he should be writing grade-A 3D games right away, even though he utterly lacks both the programming and the math skills to do so. My advice to start with something much simpler has been falling on deaf ears so far.

Without structure, this particular 14 year old would not bathe, would not brush his teeth, would not do homework, would not properly eat, would not go outside or exercise, would not properly sleep, and would substitute all of the above with watching YouTube and playing Minecraft. So you can see why this is a concern.

I've never seen something similar before either, and it is a very useful visualization.

I'm thinking about how to do something similar in my monitoring. How would you extend it to allow zooming on the X-axis? With a continuous log scale, or a simple linear scale, it's easy to know how to compress the data horizontally: take the min/max/avg of the datapoints that go in to one horizontal pixel. I'm not sure how to apply that to your discrete log scale; it seems to work on the assumption that points along the X-axis are discrete.

Edit: I said Y-axis, I meant X-axis. I'm embarrassed.
