I picked that definition because it's precise, whereas yours was vague. Not all definitions are of equal quality, and choosing a good one over a poor one is not "cherry picking".

Specifically, Facebook is not managed by a "political unit". It's managed by its owners, who have authority over it because it is their property and they have property rights. Governments do not own their citizens. They only have authority because citizens agree, whether voluntarily or through intimidation, to respect that authority.

And no, FIFA does not call itself a government. It calls itself a "governing body" in the text you just quoted. That is not the same thing, and their choice of wording is deliberate. I will concede that they are much, much closer to being a government than Facebook, though, by virtue of their organizational structure and how they derive their authority.

Not that that's relevant to my previous example of a football club. We both know I meant a group of people who get together after work to play for fun, and that the people "in charge" of that are obviously not a government. Claiming that that's false because it's not 100% true for FIFA is a pretty egregious straw man.

Thinking about the beauty of proofs, as imdicated by simplicity, and how breifly they can be encoded (information-theoretic version of occam's razor):

Another aspect of the symmetrical stackexchange diagram (two alternate interior angles), and Euclid's lop-sided one is that Euclid's is slightly simpler (one alternate interior angle, and one corresponding angle).

But from another perspective, the symmetrical one is simpler, because its symmetry allows it to be remembered as symmetry, and only recording one side.

Further, although stating it is symmetrical may require more information to record than just explicitly stating both sides if you only record one theorem, if you record a corpus of theorems and symmetry is common over that corpus (which it is), it can be stated with less information. (i.e, like using shorter words for frequently used concepts).

But this is only for the proof details; I'm not sure how it applies to the theorem as a reusable component, where you don't have to worry about the details.
Ideally, the CICD pipeline that generates your container images should be considered part of the running infrastructure for as long as the system is in operation. Alternatively, it's fairly painless to build a new container image with the legacy container as the base image.

Containerized infrastructure is not for the faint-of-heart. If you don't have a mature CICD pipeline and associated processes—and the staff and organizational awareness to maintain them—you're going to have a bad time. You need to anticipate rebuilding your containers on at least a monthly basis due to security updates in your upstream images. Though this isn't much different than non-containerized infrastructure—your system upgrades just happen at the build phase rather than the post-deploy operations phase.

Agree, dating for the most part happens within social circles, so being super wealthy means you get introduced to other super wealthy potential partners on a regular basis through your network of friends at whatever yacht club, private school, nightclub VIP, ect. Almost every girl I've dated was because I went to a party, camping trip, dinner, beach or bar somewhere and a friend of a friend brought a single friend and introduced us. Online dating is just a way to expand search from your local social network.

Most people date/marry someones equally attractive, from an equal class, with equal education. That's fairly standard and always has been, which is why most people marry someone from their college, a job, church, or some other shared experience. It's the shared experience that typically brings people together, and keeps them together.

And of course there are many cultures around the world with arranged marriages, and those almost always specifically aim to match equals from the same class background (or higher).

I can see healthy discussion abounds on HN. As I understand it, Machine Learning is aiming to create computer systems that can learn from a set of training data. The machine starts out like an infant, with no experience, and no knowledge, just sensors and memory. But like all computers, garbage in begets garbage out.

The machine/infant may receive stimuli through their transducers. Computers are provided the stimuli via digitized images, audio, or text, depending on type of learning system. Infants are provided stimuli via their 5 senses. They receive their images through their eyes. Their audio is received through their ears. Its probably a little early at the infant stage, but in a few years, they will receive text through their eyes as well. Lets leave Taste and Smell for another time.

What is traditionally considered good parentage consists of curating these stimuli. There are all sorts of dangers a child will encounter. Without the shepherd to mitigate these dangers, and reinforce their negative consequences, the child will almost certainly die in infancy. But past a few years, although they may still have several years of development left, once their basic needs of food and shelter are met, a toddler will learn whatever they are continuously exposed to, in accordance to how the people they respect react to the situation.

To the extent the child does not die, it accrues positive associations with stimuli that their parents approve of. If my parents are smiling and laughing, I'm going to associate the activity with happiness. If my parents are yelling and have an angry face, I'm going to associate that activity with anger. As I accrue these associations, I slowly begin to become more and more self sufficient.

However, notice how I didn't explain any singular activities. If my parents lacked the patience or resources to teach me, they might start sending me mixed messages. Perhaps I'm playing with legos one day, learning all of the positive things we all assume legos teach children. But my dad has a rough day at work, and comes home, steps on a lego. Now my dad is furious, screaming at me about my legos. This is now a negative association for legos. If I continue to accrue similar experiences, I'll likely have an irrational aversion to legos later in life.

So with as much snark as you can muster, could you please patronize me a little more, and correct any misunderstandings I still maintain about how machine learning is not analogous to developing human brains?

I'm not sure where the 50% came from off the top of my head, but I think the 73% is wrong (should be 63%).

My math: If there is a 1% chance of something happening in a given sample, there is a 99% chance of it not happening. So, for a set of N samples, you multiply 0.99 * 0.99 * 0.99... N times or 0.99^N to determine the chances of it not happening in any of the samples. 0.99^100 is about 0.37. 1- 0.37 = 0.63.

I don't think the people claiming that Bitcoin mining as a waste are using the economic definition of "efficiency" either. They just see Bitcoin as worthless, and therefore consider Bitcoin mining to be expending energy for nothing. That's very obviously wrong though, as I've just explained.

People mining Bitcoin are doing so out of their own self-interest. If Bitcoin were not valuable enough to overcome the cost of mining it, they wouldn't be mining in the first place. Whether or not there's a more "efficient" way of doing things is irrelevant to this point.

> Good investors on demo day

IMO investors ability to invest in startups have improved. If top investors are not able to find you on your own, you are not likely to get the check from them anyway. I speak it from position of not going to YC, but doing in-person pitches with half of "top 10" VCs, and some of those with partners.

The only exception may be if you are not outside of current investment trends, but you are making lots of revenue. In such case you probably shouldn't get VC money anyway.

That would indeed have helped in some situations. It's case by case call whether it's worth the equity. Just be sure you don't do it for vanity to show off your friends that you got into YC.

Some introspection from someone who did take it personally at first:

We applied to YC last winter and got an interview, but ultimately we weren't accepted.

As a founder you're obviously incredibly enthusiastic about your idea and think it's brilliant, and YC is usually an early stop in a company's life. So, to hear a 'no' from a well-respected source before you even really get started is definitely an ego blow.

What mostly sucks about getting rejected is that YC says repeatedly that they accept teams, not products. So when we were rejected, I immediately took it as a personal affront: Clearly they didn't like me, my co-founder, or our dynamic, all of which inspired that (admittedly immature) defense mechanism of "We're great people, so you're dumb and wrong!"

However.

Once we had gotten over it and gone through the ringer of raising funding, you start taking it significantly less personally. Some VCs don't believe in entire sectors of businesses, so it's an automatic 'no' if you're in one of them. People can and will say 'no' because they're having a bad day, or you remind them of someone they don't like, or they had a bad experience with a similar company. Not that there aren't nuggets of wisdom to be gained from the 'no's, because obviously there are, but not every failure is a lesson necessarily.

All that to say, I think it's ok to take it a little personally. Maybe you should, even. But then you have to get back on the horse and get back to it.
Elite dating apps are the absolute worst. I was invited to an Ivy League alum dating app, and I swear Mensa and /r/atheism on their worst days never came close to the amount of smug, self-satisfied posturing as I saw there.

Dynamic and static languages are fundamentally different. There is no more or less.

I've tried to elaborate here why annotating variables with type doesn't make a dynamic language static:

https://medium.com/@Jernfrost/dynamically-typed-languages-ar...

You can't look at the presence of type information to determine if a language is static or dynamic. What matters is when and how that type information is used. In static languages expression have type. In dynamic languages values have type.

The implication is that you can't know the type of something in a dynamic language until the expression has been evaluated at run time. With a static language we can determine the type of every expression at compile time, which requires full knowledge of the whole program. It is why dependencies becomes much more problematic in static languages and why they are so poor as glue languages.

> If you find yourself typing something about "the type of programmers attracted to X language" just delete what you wrote and move on.

I wouldn't say that's the right way to go about it or to think, especially in the case of JavaScript - more than ever, it's being taken up by people with no passion or desire to program solely so they can make what they think is going to be "The Next [WebCompany]," it's something that doesn't particularly have a parallel with any other language.
