>You realize 401k programs at most companies are treated as a pool just like pension funds right?

That's false. One of the requirements of a qualified plan under section 401 is that the employee has a nonforfeitable right to plan benefits: https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/plan-sponsor/401k-plan-...

The corporations who tell workers that the corporation can take money out of employer 401k plans without authorization are trying to scare the workers, stop being their patsy.

>The politicians who caused the problem are the ones who want you to blame the workers, stop being their patsy.

The workers should have known that future promises to pay which would drive the government into insolvency were promises made in bad faith. This doesn't absolve the politicians of their sins, but the workers are not innocent lambs either.
Watch everything on the entertainment system, especially foreign films that you might not watch otherwise. I look forward to my trans pacific flights to catch up on my Japanese art house films, but I avoid the Korean ones as too melodramatic.

I don't think the latter factor, which I mentioned, obviates the issue of cost. The cost of any ingredient is going to be "literally pennies" but that isn't an argument that it doesn't matter to the manufacturer nor that they don't try to optimize it.

In my mind it's more like an acceptable upper bound on provability of immutable and eternal transactions on some distributed machine. The downside to unexpected exploits far outweighs the upside to unlimited flexibility. Bitcoin chose a non turing-complete script for its transactions, and the short history of cryptocurrency has already prove that is much more secure than the infinite-possibilities of the Ethereum VM. Time will tell, but I personally expect "shocking" exploits of Ethereum smart contracts to continue ad-infinitum.

Perhaps there remains some unexplored region in the limited yet flexible yet verifiable space of languages that was until now uninteresting.
That does make sense, http or otherwise. And yes, technically feasible for each devices to serve up their own SPA, though I still fail to see why one would want to go to individual sites when a centralized interface for looking at the units both individually and as a group would be more efficient. To each their own, I guess.
Looks closer to what I'd imagine.
This is one of my favorite papers and a bigger influence on my coding than anything else I've read. It's hard to really take advantage of these ideas without a language designed for that, but I have made an attempt to document a style guide for python that tries to get some of the feel at least: https://github.com/fastai/fastai/blob/master/docs/style.md

(NB: this approach to coding in Python won't suit most people, for many reasons - I wrote it because I had a lot of requests to document my approach, not because I want anyone else to do the same thing. But if you're curious about ways to lay out code that are rather different to PEP8, do check it out!)
As per the top comment in the thread, this is something ameica frequently does to other countries. really, it's the basis of America: the argument is still that it looked shabby under the native Americans, so the Americans were right to take it from them without compensation
I studied probability during my undergrad (and high school) using dice, coins and other such things. It made sense to me but there was a dark area in my understanding. It felt like a blind spot and I could never get into it. In the final year of engineering, we had someone do a quick refresher on probability as a prelude to a longer course on pattern recognition and he described the whole thing using set theory (Venn diagrams, functions mapping from one space to another etc.) and I felt that the blind spot was illuminated. So, I don't know if starting from there would make sense but I do think it's useful, atleast sometime in your studies, to look at the whole system through this lens.

I've been working through http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkbayes/ and am quite enjoying it. My only complaint is that he, as intended, teaches using programs and a computer and I learn better by doing stuff by hand. He also has a think stats book at http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkstats/ which people might find interesting.
That isn't really how it went down, at least as far as I could tell following their updates from the outside.

It seemed more like they ran out of money entirely, and their options were either give up completely and no-one gets anything, or keep working on Sailfish OS to hopefully get new business going, then make a profit in the future that they can use to pay tablet backers back. And they have been paying backers back as promised when they're able to.
well probably fool was too strong when they call it "autopilot". once i explain to people (well, programmers) what the tesla system is, they go oh, that seems possible, tesla made it out like there was some magical ai running on the car.
That logic applied to Google or FB would mean “Google has dropped prices for Search: the 2001 version only costs pennies.”

The only problem with the "something tells me" line of reasoning is that it's always being espoused by someone. Literally at any point you can find people who feel the way you do. Good news is that if you keep it up you'll eventually be right for a little while.

An age-old question. If you look at Larry Ellison or Bill Gates, they would not be where their are without holding a whole lot of stock when the could have sold. Personally, in the case of your first liquidity event, it is a great time to take enough off the table to never have to worry about money again. Beyond that, it is a matter of risk tolerance and what you find entertaining.

Here are the wise words from the CEO of the first start-up that I worked at, which went public (but I was too junior to make much money): "Remember, at an IPO, the people that know the company best think that it is a very good time to be selling stock."
I agree that the media is hyperbolizing gun violence, however that's a false equivalency.

My European friends have indicated that kids are "tracked" from grade school, and your career is basically determined by your scores in 6th grade. In America you can flunk out of high school and still choose to pursue your chosen career. I have many friends who did just that, and have become very successful in their careers.
The groups who enjoy chaos on the internet frequently bleed over into the real world... there are no shortages of voting examples. A super quick google search brings up this[1] as a first result.

Where I am, a very vocal minority are involved in politics. A small majority are dispassionately interested in the workings of the government, and only vote on things of particular interest to those individuals. The rest couldn't care less, because they assume their one lone voice won't make a difference.

The internet (aka people) is why we can't have nice things, and will most certainly ruin this idea.

Heavy flier here (100K Kms in 2017 for example). In addition to the suggestions below, I would like to add:

1. On 8-12hour flights there is a zone of about 2 hours, where the mind is clutter free. I usually use this time (use paints a intent, but usually this auto-flow) to contemplate about things that need sorting in life, and write it down. On re-read it has a texture that is different than how I think when I am on ground.

2. Since I do not have time to recuperate from jet lag (I work on both ends of the flight), one recent habit that has helped me is starvation in-flight (I drink lots of water). Some of my flights are 15-hours non-stop. Same rule. I find this to have helped my jet lag the most. There is some evidence this works for others too (1). Since my company flies me business, it is tempting to say know when the cheese and dessert cart rolls in, but I would rather skip it than suffer a few days of being a zombie :)

Echoing other comments here, this seems like a hard way to start learning probability. It sounds like the goal is to make probability easier to understand based on what you say here (https://betanalpha.github.io/writing)

Funny.... I also just dug an Eee 901 out of a box (it used to run Windows Home Server).

> Here's the thing though, would we ever get privacy? Even if we were to pay?

The issue is that the services have to be funded somehow. If they're funded through data mining, you lose your privacy. So if you want privacy, some other funding source is necessary but not sufficient.

> once your data is on that company's server, how would you even be able to reliably validate what's being done with it?

The answer is for it not to be on their server at all. Have it be on your server. Operating a server should be as simple as operating any other home appliance.

Yeah "dying of war" is much more likely than you would think by looking at what Americans died of last 10 years. The same could go for anything that happens rarely but kills a lot of people when it does.

911 was probably too few deaths to make an impact in the statistics though. You'd need something killing tens of millions of people

Brave won't share your data, we use a ZKP protocol, ANONIZE2 (2nd generation https://anonize.org/) and we're aiming to decentralize via ZK-STArKs in state channels, or better, on future Ethereum. Sharing data even with consent leaks too much, and scale players can arbitrage and abuse users across media and devices, even with Brave protecting by default. So we won't share data even optionally. Users may share by forming first-party relationships with brands, but only if they choose to do so.

We've tied the knot between user agent and user interests by (a) blocking by default, any private ads are opt-in per user; (b) all user identifying data stays on device and never goes to our servers in linkable form; (c) user gets at least as much revenue share as we get: 70% to our 30% for private tab ads; 15/15 split between us and user with 70% to the publisher if we get to filling publisher ad slots (note we use transparent, macro-auditable-on-blockchain fees, unlike most of the ad-tech parasites).
yeah... focusing on "assault weapons" is just divisive clickbait and legislative bikeshedding. Regulations should keep guns out of crazy and criminal hands, period.
No, he's right. Windows 95/98/Me use MS-DOS as a bootloader, and Windows 95+98 still allowed you to exit Windows from the shutdown prompt, leaving you only at the DOS prompt. Windows Me took away the ability to exit, least without a binary hack to IO.SYS that can re-enable it.

I believe you’re referring to the last elections. But the way I see it, this is mostly a case of people whose candidate lost wanting to change the rules of the game because their candidate lost. I voted for Hillary but I’m not delusional to blame the results on any nefarious use of ad targeting before blaming the campaign’s poor strategy (specifically, pouring money into states like Arizona to end up with 3m+ votes while getting too few votes in states that made a difference.)
Indeed I should have been more careful and said "100% Beijingese" or "100% Mandarin as spoken around Beijing" instead. :)
In a sense, but GUI has always meant some kind of windowing/icon based form of navigation and running commands from menus or other mouse-based events, as opposed to using some kind of shell where you're typing in text-based commands.

And IDE would straddle both worlds.
That's not the case in my local area. The suburbs boundaries align quite accurately with the boundaries provided on the local council's GIS.
The OSM boundaries are line-strings, so they don't have all the contours from the council, but it's clearly a representation of the real boundary, not the ABS boundary.

You don't buy these companies to catch a temporary rising tide. Market timing is more often financial suicide, one of the worst mistakes amateur investors make.

You buy for the growth and long-term picture. If you believe in the growth potential, you buy in at an early opportunity.

ServiceNow's stock has gone up six fold in less than six years. Their revenue has climbed from $424m in 2013, to $1.93b in 2017. The last four quarters they've brought their burn rate down to meaningless while maintaining the growth, with immense gross profit margins that imply they'll likely become nicely profitable in the future.

That's a story not about rising tides, it's about the growth in the business and its future prospects.

Ask GE if rising tides lift all boats. Or AT&T, a functional, highly profitable business whose stock hasn't gone up in five years. Or Exxon, whose stock is down over five years. Or Procter & Gamble, which is still a thriving business, and whose stock also hasn't moved in five years. Those were all considered world-class blue chip stocks in the recent past.

Also, this is functionally equivalent to auto-selling RSUs and immediately repurchasing shares with the proceeds, from a tax perspective. RSUs should literally be treated like cash bonuses for public company employees - you should only keep the number of shares you would buy out of your paycheck.

> The average consumer doesn't have a remote server or the knowledge to set one up.

Which is fine to say, but doesn't really address the main issue of the IoT Cameras and honestly comes off as exploitative as an excuse. Just because something provides a convenient service does not mean it should get a free pass on basic and reasonable security precautions, nor should it be able to exfiltrate data, much less in a lazy way.

To be 100% clear, I'm not meaning to put words in the parent's mouth; I understand that the statement is just a factual statement that most people don't know how to set up a remote server. However, small SOC boards have never been cheaper and continue to grow cheaper; a "remote server" to feed data to can be bundled easily at extremely low cost to the manufacturer, let the user provide their own storage, and then work on making the discovery experience elegant. (Plug in the cameras and the SOC box close to one another. Plug the SOC Box into a monitor/TV. Follow the on-screen prompts to discover the local WiFi and Cameras and connect all of them)

Apple has found ways to make their wireless vision almost complete; setting up remote printers, connecting via Airdrop, etc, is all fairly close to elegant with some minor bumps. Xiaomi's line of hardware ties in neatly to Mi-Life fairly well also and discovery is easy (though the actual connectivity is in dire need of work). The idea that consumers need to let their data be exfiltrated due to lack of knowledge is silly; there are numerous examples on how to do it right, and the tech has never been more ready.

> we don't have a cure because we just don't know how to do it, not because we were too cheap to invest in the biochemical trench warfare to find the right molecule.

You're thinking about this at the wrong level of abstraction. It isn't a matter of having some candidate molecules and we just need some monkeys on typewriters or a huge bank of supercomputers to test them all.

It's that if you want a cure for cancer, you have to pay scientists to look for it. Not knowing where to look is not the same as not knowing how to look. The fact that it's hard is the reason it's expensive.
Dencentralized does not equate to block chains or crypto currency...

I would agree current and popular crypto currencies are not that efficient.

However, look at bit-torrent and it can exceed what centralized hosting can provide.

Email is decentralized, heck even http is decentralized.

Dencetralization is quite common. Even the US government is dencetralized to a degree. You have state, county and city governments. Its just a property that things may have.

May be a small achievement, but I am proud about it.
