Ta-Nehisi Coates is not trolling. I cant recall a single trolling article from him. He is serious. And also, there was nothing that striked me as extreme in his articles. He is also remarkably not emotional in his writing - he does not go out of his way to elicit emotional response the way Williamson does.

Nor he is having serious argument, pardon joking, pardon serious, oh really just a joke but I kinda mean it in his writing.
Cool project and great idea! Unfortunately your website falls a bit short on selling me though. And at $29/week after the free trial I don't even want to find out if I love your app, because then I would know exactly what I was missing out on after having to cancel based on price.

This is tangental but, incidentally, the hygienic laws of the Jewish people encompass far more than just not eating pork, and most of the wisdom in obeying those laws for health reasons far surpasses any knowledge at the time.

Some modern physicians wrote a book about this called 'None of these diseases'

https://www.amazon.com/None-These-Diseases-S-McMillen/dp/080...

To me the rational conclusion given the information above is that those laws really did come from a source of knowledge higher than the totality of human knowledge at the time.

My interpretation of what happened is that Ms. Reid's lawyers requested that specific posts within a full archive be removed from the archive. In other words, they weren't asking for removal of the entire archive. They just wanted a "sanitized" version to be accessible to the public.

The Internet Archive has a mechanism for doing this, as I understand it. It involves asserting copyright over the material in question and essentially "making a case" for removal. IA decided the case they made didn't pass muster, and denied specific removal on those grounds, which is why they mention "journalistic nature of the archive" and so forth.

But that's entirely orthogonal to their policy of treating active maintenance of robots.txt as indicative of positive copyright assertion over the contents of an entire domain -- which Ms. Reid's team appears to have taken as a fallback position. They couldn't get the sanitized archive they wanted, so they just made the whole thing invisible.
I made some good money (millions) in 2017 by algo trading crypto. Now in 2018, the bear market is on, but my pnl is still decent. I collected data, trained models, wrote execution strategies, automated everything. I was successful because I was moving fast, trying things, breaking things, etc.

While crypto was and still is my turf, I think I could also do well in the stock market. The problem is that the entry barriers in the stock market are quite large. By my estimates, it will cost between 10k and 100k a month to run an HFT strategy fast enough to compete with the fastest players in the field (e.g. running market making strategies). If you have good alpha you could probably get away with slower and cheaper access.

In the crypto world, the market access is free for all, and everybody has equal standing (from what I know). After implementing some WebSocket/JSON APIs you get access to the market that turns around 100s of millions USD per day. Of course, it's much smaller than the stock market, but it's real nevertheless.

I think it's a myth that smaller strategies cannot compete with established HFT firms. It's also a myth that you need grad level knowledge of math/statistics. It might even hurt, becuase phds will be prone to "do things the right way" as opposed to "do things that work". I think it's also a myth that HFT firms hire exceptional talent. In fact, most firms have rather mediocre staff. The reason is that most firms don't make exceptional money. So they don't have a salary pool large enough to pay exceptional people exceptional wages. I'm talking upward from 300k. Companies like Google will happily pay skilled engineers around that watermark. The Google/startup jobs might feel dull, but the finance jobs are way more boring and less rewarding... I can rant on this forever - lol.

That being said, I consider myself mediocre developer as well. Couple months ago I applied for Senior Developer jobs at 3 firms and didn't get a single job offer. I didn't try hard, didn't prepare for the interviews, but still.

Edit: I applied for these jobs just to see what's up. Neve intended to take the jobs.

Observations on Modern Computing
I would disagree about the cultural significance of TV shows and movies. They occupy very different places in culture.

TV shows aren't just long-form narratives; people develop relationships with the show and its characters similar to the relationships they develop with friends they see regularly and learn about over time. People's experiences with the show differ based on whether they started watching from when it first aired or binged it after the end of a season. Moreover, shows change, often as a result of the cultural response to the show or viewership (see, e.g., Walking Dead's latest season, L&O SVU, daytime soaps).

Movies are essentially one-time events and distinct unalterable shared experiences They don't change (directors' cuts notwithstanding). The cultural response to the movie may change over time, but the movie itself doesn't. (For example, Gone with the Wind is the same movie it's always been, but people now view its depiction of minority characters far less favorably.)

>Heck pretty much the entirety of Linux and its ecosystem is remote.

I'm a full 100% remote worker and I would never bring up "Linux development" as evidence for businesses to adopt remote work. If remote work evangelists want to argue for the benefits of work-from-home, please do not use Linux as an example because it undermines credible business thinking. As I've said before[1] and paste again here:

Open source development as "obvious" proof of remote work superiority is often brought up but proponents don't realize they aren't the same.
E.g. open source project like Linux kernel where volunteers choose what they want to work on, with little or zero effects on careers for missing deadlines has different dynamics than businesses.

If we want to convince businesses to adopt remote work, the Linux kernel is not a relevant example. Businesses have:

1) finite budget

2) deadlines

3) pressure to innovate for marketplace acceptance or go bankrupt

We need a better explanation for why business-related success of Google Pagerank/Bigtable, Apple iPhone, Facebook, etc comes more from teams in the office rather than remote workers on Skype. The Linux project -- even though it is "successful" -- is not that explanation.

Okay interesting point of view. So you still fail but you fail earlier than the other western competitors and you might fail less. Can't say much against it.
That people are worth helping and not hurting, regardless of whether one "wins" is what's missing.

In this article, such actions are worth doing only because they're means to winning, not (say) because you actually value other people, their thoughts, and feelings. The impression one gets is that to the author they're just pawns in his game, and if he could "win" by trampling all over them he would.

This impression is strengthened by the reductionistic, instrumentalist analogies (like the mind being a computer program) sprinkled throughout the article. If people are merely computer programs and life is just a bunch of games that you're trying to win, why be nice to them? Oh, it's because if you're not they might not let you play.

Well, a walking commute like that is probably not going to happen in Boston without tradeoffs. I think extremely few people are lucky enough to have a commute like that in the US. That said, Cambridge has a the highest percentage of "pedestrian" commuters in the country.

Anyway, off the top of my head: Medford, Quincy, Braintree. Schools might not knock it out of the park like Lexington but they're not crap either. A decent MA school is better than a lot of "good" schools in other states. However, a "tiny" house is in the eye of the beholder. I'd consider 1500sqft pretty decent whereas some people would want 2000+ with an attached garage, which is incongruent with urban living. The "real T" access alleviates a lot of commute woes; T delays are blown out of proportion compared to the daily car-crash-induced traffic jam.
Yes - one of the biggest perks simply being more flexible hours. If you show up 15 minutes late there are penalties in many jobs but the average tech worker won’t even notice unless they’re late for an important meeting or the on-duty admin when something breaks.

> He wasn't actually convicted of distributing software illegally

> He was convicted of counterfeiting and copyright infringement

"Copyright infringement" here implies "distributing software illegally". Licenses are not "works" and thus cannot be copyrighted. Trademarks cannot be copyrighted and trademark infringement is not copyright infringement.

> and the arguments for the cost of the licenses is moot

Copyright infringement by itself doesn't carry the sentence he was given. In copyright infringement cases, damages are calculated based on cost, loss-of-revenue etc. to the copyright holder.

From the very article you reference: "Hurley decided Lundgren’s 28,000 restore disks had a value of $700,000, and that dollar amount qualified Lundgren for a 15-month term and a $50,000 fine." (emphasis mine).

The entire point is that his disks had "zero or near zero" value to the copyright holder since they did not contain any licenses, and thus his sentence is unfair.

> So why didn't he?

Is that sufficient legal basis for the sentence?

I think it's good to note that this proposal is not far along the process. Pattern matching, if it clears TC39 (a tall order, to be honest), won't land in a spec for half a decade at least I would bet.

So, keep the feedback coming, and don't worry that you'll have to learn this syntax tomorrow. It's still very early, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are at least a couple major revisions before anything like this lands in ECMAScript.

China plan to have 80% of the EV market in next to no time with 80% being of all sales globally. If Chinese EV cars are just a better product than diesel banger style cars then diesel is dead. The switchover would happen more like the death of analog film, economics kicks in at some point and the network of fuel stations goes much like how the network of places you could get film processed has utterly vanished.

Film people thought it was all about SLR lenses and film grain, petrol heads are the same except they think about the joys of a manual transmission and the silly fart noises that come out of their exhaust. Much like how nobody would give up the camera on their phone for some 35mm SLR camera it will be the same with electric cars, nobody would give up their electric car to drive exclusively diesel or petrol. That is where that analogy ends, nobody was subsidised to give up their 35mm camera to go digital.

The Bosch press release is indicative of attitude problems, although petrol/diesel may be 98% of the market now that can be changed with a fall from being relevant much like what happened with analog film. It takes a generation to come along and the Luddites eventually shut up or die.

Although Bosch do amazing 'leccy powered systems for cars the manufacturers have not been quick to start using those components. Maybe this is a bit like a new CPU, e.g. when the Z80 came out in '76 it took a few years before the mass market ZX Spectrum came along to use it. Zilog didn't go ahead and make their own complete system, they just waited a few years for others to do that. Maybe this is where Bosch are now with their EV goodies. It is all going to work out fine, we will all be driving Chinese electric cars.
I was between 1 and 1.5 hours for about 18 months once. It wasn't too bad as I only ended up going in maybe half the time between working from home and travel and being able to take the train if I wanted. The fact that I was working in the city for the first time took some edge off too, especially in the summer.

But I wouldn't have wanted to do it long-term. As you say, it's just too big a chunk out of the day.
I should really switch over to Fastmail. I currently have a personal email w/ user@gmail.com but also a basic G-Suite email w/ firstname@domain.com. I would save $2 a month by doing so and have one email rather than two.

Do you still have an account w/ Google, despite using Fastmail as your email provider? I was thinking of just deleting my entire Google account but I have my personal email address associated w/ so many things.

I also love the old school feel of Fastmail but I don't know, a few user interface tweaks wouldn't hurt.
Netflix knows their customers very well. It's likely that most of their original movies are crap because that's what their customers enjoy. People binge-watch engrossing series, but put movies on for background noise while hanging out with friends.

So it makes sense to invest in series like Stranger Things and movies from Adam Sandler.
Prime is ok if it’s multiplied (there is one and only one prime factorization of a number).... but that can get to absurdly large numbers.

Still, consider the word ‘abe’ with a = 2, b = 3, c = 5, d = 7 and e = 11.

abe would then be 2^1 * 3^1 * 5^0 * 7^0 * 11^1. ‘abba’ would be 2^2 * 3^2. Each anagram would have a distinct value.

See also Gödel numbering and FRACTRAN.

The problem is that much more often than not the “only unprofitable move” is the one that happens. Options in general are too expensive and that’s why selling “insurance” is profitable most of the time. Maybe he can identify consistently mispriced vol, though.

Could the answer be to disallow companies from selling products to these regimes? Or even just to make it mandatory for companies to consider human rights and laws in their country when operating abroad, so selling to a regime or individual who breaks them would be illegal?

Seems like that could stop stuff like this stone dead, and make it very hard for tyrannical regimes to get any good technology at all.
It's much more complicated than that. Weather is a huge factor. Network effects are not so trivial or easily displaced. Walkability and public transit are major factors that contribute to those network effects and establish a city's culture -- which is a very difficult thing to reproduce. Not to mention politics. It's easy to say "just move to Shreveport!" But many, many people would feel very uncomfortable moving to these locations due to their religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or whatever. And maybe the city itself is much more liberal than its surroundings. However, there are still genuine political concerns that many individuals would have for policy decisions made at a state-level that would directly affect their well-being.

The major argument people from the midwest or the south give in favor of their locations is lower house prices. Many of the "trendseekers" have no interest suburban tract homes. I think the people advancing this argument should understand that a home is, for many, just one factor amongst many in determining where to live, and in many cases is not the strongest. Shreveport, LA is not "uncool" because of some accident of trendiness. It's uncool because it's uncool. There are no strong networks there, no extensive public transportation systems, no walkability, no political protections for marginalized groups -- etc., etc. It's a lot more than just trendiness.

I say this as someone who has never lived on either coast. Just keep in mind that much of America seems unappealing or unfriendly to people who are not from here for legitimate reasons.
So here's something I can't get a straight answer on:

Surely if content is served over HTTPS with a valid certificate, it should be possible to save (possibly as part of a WARC) a "signature" of the TCP stream that would go beyond proving that a web archive was created at a certain time, but also that it was served using that person's private key and thus from that person's web server. To claim otherwise, the subject would have to claim that a fraudulent certificate was generated for their domain or that their web server was broken into.
Fixed my post. You are correct - just one side is secure.
The polarization is not as significant as imagined. On issues such as healthcare there is overwhelming support for universal coverage or a single payer type system, by around a 2:1 or higher margin. The problem is that our mainstream political parties are broken.
In my profession (Marine Engineering; ship design), there is a large push to convert from diesel to cleaner fuels (e.g. LNG) due to International Maritime Organization (IMO) tiered emission regulations. LNG has a cost on par with diesel, so it's a no-brainer if you can afford the conversion. However, there is growing interest in H2 fuel cell powered vessels as the installed power cost continues to drop.
Interestingly, H2 is being considered for energy storage and transport from deep sea wind farms to shore, vice long-run sub-sea power cables. The transport would be via Liquid H2 tanker. One of the supporting arguments is that the H2 fuel can be used directly in a growing number of H2-fuel cell powered transportation vehicles (Cars, buses) and industrial vehicles (forklifts, etc., which are actually very popular).

So, that's two big markets: Marine and Land-based Transportation.

> Beyond their shared frustration with not having sex, the incel community is not monolithic. Many of them are simply sad and lonely men, suffering from extreme social anxiety or deep depression.

Seems like most extremist communities can be described similarly. You have people in a very bad place, and then you expose them to an ideology where they're part of the "in" group instead of feeling like an outsider, effectively forming a social connection but in a profoundly negative way.

I think we, as a species, have always benefited from being part of a small community, be it a village, religion, or social club. Seems like large urban settings are socially isolating people, even if they're technically surrounded by people.

When I found myself in a similar place in my life, I found a community in WoW (as many others have), that too is unhealthy just to a lower degree.

It's not just LA anymore, 90+ minute commutes are common in Seattle and Portland as well, often for surprisingly short distances in terms of mileage. The traffic and congestion in the trendy west coast cities is terrible.

Many of these cities are still using infrastructure from 60+ years ago that may have been sufficient back then, but now are woefully inadequate with populations many multiples larger.
