Its not just that there are other victims. Let's say you are selling a widget for $50. The fraudster can order some of these and put them up on Amazon for $45. They have costs associated with this, including the cost of acquiring usable CC numbers, the cost of running their store, the cost of placing the fraudulent orders. I can increase the cost of the first and third in that by filtering a large number of their orders. Many of their CCs aren't going to pass the filter and many of the time they spend making the orders is wasted. Even if they have bots making the orders, there is a cost associated with it. Increase it enough and they don't really make enough for it to be worth their while.

Personal anecdotes asside, burning man is about community at scale IMHO. 70k people who are genuinely interested you.

You get back a multiple of what you invest in terms of participation, so that has a great network effect.

My advice? Go one year with a friend and spend at least a day volunteering. It's great to see the faces of people you help in one way or another.
Then put them in jail, or prison, for comitting a real crime with real victims instead of some imagined future offense. Future crime being normalized is more evil and does more damaged than any drug could or has. Statistical judgments against classes of people are bad, and worse when backed up by government violence. The vast majority of murders in the last 200 years have been because of this kind of thinking.
I assume that most mom and pop investors will use the same exchange to buy their bitcoin and then later sell them. In that case the IRS can see both transactions in their account and know the capital profit/loss they have not declared.

If you buy at one exchange and then transfer the coins to another to sell it would be harder for the IRS to match up and discover your profit/loss. Especially if you move the coins via several intermediaries and sell in a different country that is not under the IRS jurisdiction.

I would love to see a comparison against my beloved ThinkPad and see if there is legitimacy to my preference.

OS preferences aside, I much prefer the ruggedized plastics and exposed seams of the ThinkPad to the metal unibodies. I'm a function-should-define-form kind of guy, and am deeply skeptical of aesthetics-first designs.

As far as anecdotal evidence goes, I have talked to various sysadmins who all tell me that Macbooks on their networks have very high failure rates. They realistically cannot plan on a Macbook surviving 2-3 years. And when they do fail, they fail in unexpected, catastrophic ways.
I suspect "hopefully" is in reference to the fact that it's doing fuzzy matching.

Apple is a BMW or Mercedes of computing. And they definitely have their issues, but they definitely have their plus sides.

So far apple's engineering mistakes haven't annoyed me that much. The fragility of the butterfly keyboard is probably their worse one yet. Makes me scared of buying a new macbook at this point.

Sure, it's possible.

We know that the NSA intercepts machines for modification. And it's possible that hardware is generally backdoored. Maybe even by Chinese manufacturers.

But what can one do, if everything is pwned? It's not practical to build machines from transistors etc. There are dreams of open-source hardware. But how could that even be done securely? The NSA can plant agents anywhere, in theory.
Monomorphising doesn't work for rank-n polymorphism, either. (This is mentioned on the page.)

Effectively though, Ruby/Perl are just much larger languages.
E.g. ruby has/had at least 5 different ways of controlling flow in a block between throw/catch, next/break, raise/rescue, return/implicit-return and callcc. 99% of the code uses the same small subset, but if you want to support "Ruby" you need to implement all of those.

Likewise, Perl has maybe simple semantics underneat, but the sheer amount of syntax-level elements is insane, also because of stratified version changes. e.g. did you know that declaring a variable with "local" instead of "my" makes it behave like a lisp-ish dynamic variable? I am fairly sure that does not exist in Lua.

As for python, there is PyPy, but I think the retrospective view on Unladen Swallow has some good points, basically: lack of enough interest from devs, lack of enough interest from users.

If this were Reddit that'd earn gold. Brilliant idea. I mean the brain is what we are essentially... If we just ditched the bodies and stored our brains forever, my mind is blown by this. This would be a great company to start, would probably get tons of funding by sv too. We could still experience life especially if we can create bodies that feel like human ones. Even immortals could get hot by a bus, but not if the brain is miles away in a nuclear bunker...
I was talking about a month ago with a Mac consultant; he has been doing ONLY Macs for 20+ years.

Starting with the touchbar laptops, he noticed a decline in longevity. He had his clients that saw these problems, sell off all post-2015 MacBook Pros and buy only good refurb/used 2015 or so, MBP. No problems after he did that.
You can still track the transactions though - or specifically IRS or LE can request history from the exchanges. Some exchange in the chain may not be under the IRS jurisdiction, but if you want to actually withdraw your money, you'll have to do it either by buying something, via local organisation in cash, or in another country. I.e. it's not that much harder to track than if you did it in cash (rather than btc), which has the same pros/cons if you're in the US.

And I don't think exchanges will ever protect anyone if the LE asks, because of the know your customer rules (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Know_your_customer)
Agreed. If life as an engineer in LA sucks, and you have nothing left in LA, then move on to greener pastures. It won’t be easy, but it sounds like you need a change.

Couple things here. First, that isn’t Louis Rossman’s voice. That’s either an employee or a paid voice actor. Second, I paid Rossman to try fixing a bad MBP board a couple of years ago because I watched his series and he seems like he would go the extra mile. The board ended up not being fixed.

I and my family have bought Apple products since I was a kid (over 30 years). I have always found their hardware to be extremely reliable and to age well. Yeah I pay a premium but only need to make those purchases every 3-4 years. Laptops, desktops, phones etc.

When my laptop board had a problem, it was already well out of warranty. The Apple store tech still took the time to run diagnostics on it tried to find a way to get it covered. But beer counts as water damage so that was the end of it.

I will complain that the price for a replacement board ($1200) was a bit steep for a machine from mid 2013 but I know it would have been well tested and reliable. I ended up buying a replacement board from OWC for about $700 that’s worked fine.

Rossman constantly rants about Apple hardware for years. Take what he says with a huge grain of salt. Especially when he’s paying someone else to say them.
I'm a management consultant. My work is not ridiculous. What is ridiculous is the level of damage caused by the utter apathy and incompetence that exists in many organisations.

Just because someone is technichally skilled and highly intelligent, does not necessarily make them a capable leader, or a good manager, or even a productive employee. I have met managers, engineers and architects and other technical folks costing their employers millions due to their inability to communicate with others, process basic information and gain the trust of their colleagues. Non technical as well.

I have worked with dozens of organisations, engaging deeply with the people embedded there, and i have developed a decent understanding of how to identify 'people' issues and develop creative solutions, in a relatively short period of time.

Apologies if i sound defensive, but i see your sentiment on here a lot. And it is dead wrong.

For what it's worth, i do not have an mba or specific industry experience. Just good interpersonal skills and a willingness to listen, empathise, and improve the way things are done.
Yep. For me, that "much harder" is a painful knee joint. If your joints go, then you can't exercise. Don't risk it. Get the vitamins needed for bones and cartilage. Don't risk a slip on ice or down a staircase. Don't choose downhill skiing or tackle football as your exercise.

The saddest part about this is that it's the opposite of what Apple originally stood for. With the Apple II line, Apple released schematics and extraordinarily detailed technical reference manuals. Everything about the inner workings of those computers was an open book. Their motherboards were covered in chip sockets so you could replace nearly every component, and peripheral cards could be slotted in at will. It was a hobbyist's dream computer.

Granted, computers have changed a lot in the intervening years, but it still makes me sad to compare what Apple was to what Apple became.

One can use it to build hempcrete homes. Instead of burying it, one would encase the wood frame structure into a hydraulic lime + hemp hurd mixture (cemented single stud framing). The hemp also sequestrates CO2, the lime keeps everything fungus free and further absorbs CO2 from the air as the walls cure.

Yeah, all those lies from Tesla about rewriting the code for the robots at the Gigafactory, and Grohmann shipping a big automated thing to the Gigafactory, they've confused everyone into thinking that all of the IP isn't Panasonic.

And the teardown guy who was raving about how awesome Tesla's part of the battery pack was, he must be in on it.

When you grow older, the things you truly like doing don't change that much. It's the things you don't like that you hate doing every day a little bit more. You should plan for that.

As many have mentioned here, the first thing is to focus on your health, mental and physical. Absolute necessity.
The second thing is to develop optionality for later instead of closing doors as many do. Plant seeds for your future life. You don't know what will work or not for you in the future. So, while you're busy living your current life, plant seeds that all have a reasonable chance to grow into a life scenario that you would enjoy later. Don't focus on a single objective, make sure you pursue at least a handful. No need to be obsessive. And then, water the seeds when you can, abandon those who die, replant when necessary. It is mostly a background process, be gently alert to spot potential future opportunities. It has made wonders for me.
> Once a decision is determined, they commit wholly.

That sounds quite similar to Lenin's principle of democratic centralism - once upon a time communist parties allowed for a brief period of internal discussion prior to accepting policy decisions (in theory), once the decision was made every party member was committed to the 'collective' decision.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_centralism

Now that one did not quite work out, because you always depend on the whims of who is heading the discussion; I wonder if the Bezos principle works any better, as there are no third party regulators that might constrain the one who is heading the discussions.

Once upon a time they had this theory of gradual convergence between a west dominated by big corporations and the Soviet Union (for example ' 2001: A Space Odyssey' made this assumption); this observation might have had a grain of truth in it.

The author is surprised that people defend Apple even though they “know that Apple has screwed them”. That sounds odd to me. I know a lot of people who own Apple devices and a lot of them had problems. But no own ever said that “Apple screwed” them. In fact, many of them get their devices handled/repaired by Apple in a good manner.

No company is perfect. Apple makes mistakes. But in my perception they deal well with their mistakes and are not shy to admit.

Tensorflow 1.8 OpenCL Branch
Thanks for all the feedback! That’s a good point about turning off the stock Reminders app notifications, I’ll see what I can do.

As for iOS 11 Notifications, you can actually complete reminders from the notification. You can either force touch the notification (on an iPhone 6s or newer), or click View to see the actions for the notification. Complete is one of them, as well as “remind me in 15 minutes”.

That’s an interesting idea about filtering time alerts by location, but as of right now, iOS does not allow that granular of triggers. It’s only location or time for now, but maybe iOS 12 will be different.

I hope you continue to enjoy the app, and please let me know if you have any other suggestions!

It's kind of a shame about VistA, the VA system. It's the most widely used well liked hospital system

>The VistA system is highly rated by physicians, receiving the highest overall score in Medscape surveys of over 15,000 physicians in 2014 and again in 2016, receiving particularly high marks for connectivity and utility as a clinical tool. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VistA

and available free open source http://worldvista.org/AboutVistA/copy2_of_index_html

but hospitals instead spend hundreds of millions on Epic and Cerner who I presume have fancy sales teams to push those to hospital managers.
Today's 40 is different than the last generation's 40. It became clear over the last 20 years that the job of an engineer was to continually keep learning and adapting. Gone were the days of mastering a single skill and refining it over a lifetime. The last batch of 40 year olds weren't privy to that information and may have been the cause of ageist stigma. Being 40 today means you've been in this new mode of operation for 15-20 years and you know the deal. In which case you are likely extremely valuable with the benefit of experience, and will continue to be so until it you can no longer keep learning.

It would be interesting to know the number for brand new, high-volume assembly lines. Tesla has a much bigger problem than an existing carmaker bringing out a new model on an existing assembly line.
Today's rock/pop music is a direct descendant of classical music. The similarity to baroque sonatas and concertos is
the clearest - that is why Bach Handel Teleman etc. make the easiest path into classical music to someone familiar with modern rock/pop. Baroque music has the same structure as modern rock/pop - a tune on top of a chord progression. It's a running joke in music circles that Pachelbel's Canon in D sounds familiar the first time you hear it because its chord progression appears in countless modern pop tunes. The basic baroque ensemble is like an unamplified rock band without drums. There is a rhythm section called the "continuo"
constisting of a bass instrument like a cello or viola da gamba or bassoon - that's like the bass guitar - and a chordal instrument like a harpsichord or organ or lute or
theorbo or ... that's like the rhythm guitar or piano or organ. Then there is a violin and/or flute or other melody instruments - that's like the lead guitar and/or saxophone or singer. The continuo part was
usually written in a notation called 'figured bass' that was
analogous to modern chord charts. Besides that, the soulful singer songwriter goes back at least to the medieval troubadours, but appears in essentially modern form with the lute song composers of the 16th and 17th century - the model here is John Dowland, who in addition to composing a lot of
melancholy songs, also composed some guitar-god-like solo instrumentals. And, this lute music was typically published
in a tabular notation a lot like modern guitar tab.
The 2013 Macbook Air was the first and only Apple laptop I owned. It's still incredibly reliable and (the hardware) is a pleasure to use.

I needed a new laptop with more RAM/storage/CPU but I was utterly disappointed in their 2017 MBP lineup. Switched to Linux on the X1 Carbon and I haven't looked back since. I do miss things like the touchpad, Preview app and other Mac-only software, but not enough to put up with their product flaws.
thanks a lot, I was going to ask about suggestions on this vein. The audible at 14$ with membership looks like a very good deal too.

I have effectively no knowledge or understanding of classical music, and it seems there is no obvious way of learning other than "just listen to a lot of it".

Ok obviously that works, but I'd rather have an equivalent of SICP or CTM :)
That's not true at all. HPET is very reliable and not prone to skewing at all. The problem is that accessing an HPET timestamp (via QPC in Windows) is very slow on certain Intel and AMD platforms. The HPET bug was already discovered last July, so Meltdown and Spectre have nothing to do with the bug but maybe adding performance penalties on top.

Early S and X owners love their cars, and have an extremely high "I'd buy another Tesla" rating compared to other car owners in the same price ranges. Indeed, sounds like the person who you replied to shouldn't be an early 3 buyer.
But that is not true. I can say idea X is bad and it can succeed due to any number of reasons. That doesn’t disprove that it is a bad idea (relative to some better idea, let’s say).

Prepare your two samples. Put them in identical containers. Attach sealed envelopes that record which one is which. Mix them up in such a way that you can't tell them apart anymore. Randomly mark one A and one B. Perform your experiment on A and B. Once you have the results, open the envelopes to find out which one was which.

Seems pretty straightforward to me.
I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but what I heard is that the most common task of management consulting is to sell an already made decision to the rest of the company. The consultant appears neutral and is expected to have good presentation and sales skills. The analysis technique and inputs can be chosen to yield the desired result. The more expensive the consultant the better for credibility. So it's obviously a great way to make money.

The principal-agent problem is thus between the company and the person hiring the management consultant(s).
Carry on. Nothing changes.
That’s what I was talking about.
What didn't happen in '08?
Correct, this is what everyone always hears about Burning Man. However, the idea that bartering happens at Burning Man is the most common misconnection. It is also how you can pick out that someone has never been to Burning Man (at least not recently).

I've been 5 years and from what I gather there was some bartering >10 years ago (not sure the exact date, but my impression is it was in the 90s). However, it shifted to a "gifting" economy where you give out gifts with no expectation of return and any Burner who hears that characterized as bartering would be quick to correct you.
