Are you serious?

The Marines literally make you say "kill" during combat training.

The phrase for firing a machine gun is "die mother fucker die mother fucker die mother fucker release" (release the trigger to prevent over heating of the barrel)

Every time we went on a platoon run the diddies are about murdering our enemies.

I honestly don't believe you were in the military, or you seem to have forgotten what it was really like. Or maybe you were in the air Force, but definitely not the Marine corps.

There are many movies and shows that promote those positive values. Marvel superhero movies, children movies, movies like Marshall. Films and documentaries that critique consumerism or society. TED talks, YouTube channels like The School of Life, even blogs like Brainpickings.
OTOH last time I was in St.Pancras there was a guy collecting the fees to use the washroom and keeping things tidied up. People in the US would be outraged to pay for using a bathroom under those circumstances.

Japan can be even worse. I’ve seen it at hotel seven when you’re eating at the hotel restaurant.
Only 500M? With the Management Engine type spy chips installed in virtually all modern processors which runs our computers and phones, its all very easy. 500M is hogwash.
Definitely, but this is a feature that a centralized authority like the fed would prefer to do without. Whatever technology is behind any sort of "FedCoin" would certainly not be blockchain. They will not relinquish control of their currency, doing so would make themselves obsolete.
> If you’re doing native mobile app development, you’re doing it wrong.

No one can be so arrogant to make this cheap, clickbait statement.
Why is everyone fighting developing native apps? Hybrid/PWA apps are not in the interest of Apple nor Google.
In my experience the problems that PWA/Hybrid app development costs almost as much than employing an iOS and an Android developer.
If that's true then shouldn't the double padlocked box be stolen as it is not a padlocked box but is instead a double padlocked box?

(Here I'm assuming the "correct" solution is A mails locked box containing ring to B. B adds a lock and returns the box to A. A unlocks lock A and returns the box to B which is locked only with lock B that can be undone by B.)

Look, this "abyss" you're talking about can be "reached" by anybody, and I don't have to say how. It's not actually something that we want ourselves or our fellow man to do. It doesn't make you better, if any of it sticks you're worse.

Going on deployment and finding something that improves you is like going to a bar/casino in Las Vegas and finding Mormonism. Sure, it can happen, but it's not what happens.
I always suspected that all these arbitrary investors rules were garbage. Probably what happened is that a couple of big prominent VC firms used the two-founder-only strategy and then their fund happened to succeed and they decided to attribute their success to that strategy... Whereas in fact their success was based on other factors that the VC firms did not actually understand.

Your PWA is really well done.

It felt native on Chrome and Firefox Android (and it worked, lots have minor issues).

Mind discussiong the stack you used, it's all very nicely designed, good use of colour and iconography.

I added it to my list of references designs :).

It may sound logical, but unfortunately breaks a lot of existing angular projects and there is no kosher way to configure it to work.

For example both Rust’s stdweb and emscripten are detecting node/browser to load wasm file by appropriate method, they will not work in angular 6 project.

Well, ultimately a decentralized blockchain tackles the issue in a much different way. In the 1800s, if you were a money issuer, you could print any amount you wanted. In a truly decentralized blockchain, there are defined rules for how new currency enters the system. You cannot just print new money. The amount that exists is fully visible by anyone.

Transparency is everything. This also explains why a currency like XRP is not a real blockchain. Beware these pseudo-blockchain projects, because they are much more similar to your example from the 1800s.
There are plenty of Hollywood films that promote those values. The Stephen Hawking biopic. Even the Harry Potter series. Marvel superhero films like Dr. Strange. Other biopics like Hidden Figures, etc.
Given 2 red dots, they would already know that not all dots are blue even before the stranger comes. At their first town meeting, everyone would know "not all dots are blue" and they would know that everyone else knew that information too.

>Moderators/janitors are pulled from the userbase

Just a technical note, I believe this is not true. AFAIK only janitors are recruited from users, the moderators (those with real power) were all personal friends of m00t (at least not so long ago). Maybe it changed since hiroyuki took over, but I have not read anything about it.
I went to Toronto last summer for a couple of days, the area by the water was fairly nice, but aside from that it felt very oppressive - lots of roads, flyovers, and cars with priority.

I know Canadians like to think of themselves as "different", but I could see more difference between the three cities I'd visited in the previous couple of weeks - NY, DC and LA than I could between Toronto and anywhere else in the US

Perhaps I didn't stay long enough, but if I compare with other cities, like Berlin, Rome, Lisbon, London, Singapore, Nairobi, Sydney, Delhi, Tokyo, etc, Toronto just felt like a typical North American city.
I think it’s much simpler. They’re just trying to do their job and make it easier. A bigger budget is the means.
Blockchain as it exists today is a proof of concept. It shows that people can use code to create a monetary system. The system does not need to be backed by any government or physical good guaranteeing its value.

This proof of concept can now manifest itself in a variety of formats. Many of which we cannot fathom today, because they haven't yet been invented. There are many intelligent people now working on this problem and improving the way a blockchain works, or even pulling from that proof of concept and rethinking the solution without traditional blockchain.

People are too heavily focused on what the technology is capable of right now. That is irrelevant. The industry is in its infancy. Up until 5 years ago, the only blockchains that still exist today in any meaningful format are Bitcoin and Litecoin. Litecoin is just a Bitcoin clone.

Just wait and see how this space will develop over the next 10, 20, 30 years. The proof of concept is that people will assign value to digital assets without any authority backing them. That's the most important development.

All of the things you listed could also be found on an oil rig: clear roles, a sense of purpose, and the sleep deprivation (not listed but it builds character.) It's quite close to the Keynesian "it's good for the government to spend therefore it's good buy fighters" argument: sure, it creates jobs/funds research, but why not spend the same effort (and far fewer lives) on building the next supercollider or something? War can be a laudable sacrifice if it's necessary but it seems that some are trying to abstract the "good" from the condition.

JS broke the presentation vs data abstraction. It's an obfuscation layer used to make it harder to use data the way you want. It's also a linkrot catalyst. To scrape many sites you must exec an arb program, that may never halt, and save the state. For the majority of cases it's unnecessary. I cant render text on many sites unless I linearlize or execute the JS. Minor additions to HTML could remove the majority of reasons to use JS. It's entirely possible to make a maps site that still works right now. It's also a side channel that makes it near impossible for browsers to fingerprint the same.

I don't know what the solution is other than users understanding the problem.
That's a really good talk. Thanks.
Intel Will Speed Up Bitcoin Mining
1/4 acre is a large amount for a 3 bedroom house - where I live in the UK a typical plot size in a semi-rural area, from the 70s is about 1/10th acre, for new houses it's about half that.

The best solution to high demand is a land value tax. That applies not just to houses, but to offices, shops, parking lots, etc. This means that land owners have to use their land efficently. If parking triples in cost, so be it. If road tolling is required, c'est la vie.

The proceeds of those tax must then be pumped into the local economy - funding services and improvements, like new bridges, or metro lines, or higher wages for central services (like schools and police)
Being in the Amazon retail space, I know someone who made $100k in a month selling coaching services when their Amazon business had only done $500k revenue in the last year. I haven't used their services so I don't know whether that's a good or a bad thing.

But I also know many coaching programs that sell for $2k, 5k, 10k+/person but aren't perfect. Something that might have worked for them might not work for someone else, especially if they forget to mention important steps. To learn more about the coaching trend look into Clickfunnels and the Art of High Ticket Selling COD Facebook group.

OpenAI Gym Implementation of Q-learning
As an entrepreneur and software consultant, it's more of a "make the good people pay". Here any improvements made must be obviously useful to be worth the money. I'd redefine it like this, where usefulness is the prime motivator:

1) Make it work, if that's important and worth the time

2) Make it correct, if that's important and worth the time

3) Make it fast, if that's important and worth the time

Most of the time is spent hunting for what the software is supposed to be. Prototype, prototype and prototype until you get even close to what it's supposed to be. Treat everything as temporary until then, before applying any real importance on any of the above. Even then, you'll rather be rewriting it anyway, focusing on what's important, because your assumptions at the beginning were most likely wrong. You shouldn't hang yourself for those early decisions just because you invested too much time and effort on making them work.
You probably are not aware how many (rather big) projects out there are still on angular 1 with no upgrade plan at all. Last time I turned down a job offer because of a similar scenario.
Angular 6 and all future main releases will be supported for 18 months.

As for backwards compatibility, as was described in the presentation on the new renderer they are working on, 600 apps at Google are built on Angular, so there is a great deal of internal pressure to make sure backwards compatibility is a constant consideration.

Along those lines, one of the big tooling features in this release is the upgrade command in the CLI, which can allow packages to self update themselves across your codebase (i.e. if there's a breaking API change, they can rewrite that API call accordingly automatically during package upgrades). This is new, so it's yet to be determined how common and painless the usage will be.
Yeah, in all of human history violence has been the go to solution:

Problem: I'm hungry

Solution: let's kill this mammoth and eat it (violence)

Problem: there's not enough food

Soloution: the neighboring country has food let's invade and take theirs (violence)

Problem: I want to be king but I'm 2nd in line for succession

Solution: assisinate the king and take his place (violence)

Problem: over population in a region

Solution: invade the neighboring region, kill them, and settle their land (violence)

Problem: can't get laid in the normal way

Solution: rape (violence)

Problem: I'm being raped

Solution: kick him in the nuts and bite his dick off (violence)

Problem: too many of (minority ethnic group) in our country

Solution: genocide (violence)

Problem: want to free the slaves, but the southern states don't want to:

Solution: civil war (violence)

I can go on.

Problem: there is a genocidal tyrant taking over Europe (Hitler)

Solution: world war 2 ( violence)

Problem: there is a man talking about peace and making the peasants uppity:

Solution: crucify him and make an example (violence)

Problem: the Muslims have conquered the holy lands

Solution: the crusades (violence)

Problem: the king is taking too much of our money through taxes

Solution: revolution and #1776, baby (violence)

Seriously if you think violence is not the defacto solution throughout history you are wrong.
Your tax premise is wrong. The proof is right there in the actual tax numbers.

Average world-wide statutory corporate tax rate: ~22%

National statutory rates: Netherlands 25%; Italy 24%; Norway 23%; Sweden 22%; Portugal 21%; Russia 20%; Estonia 20%; Finland 20%; UK 19%; Czech 19%; Poland 19%; Belarus 18%; Lithuania 15%; Bulgaria 10%; Hungary 9%

Europe statutory average: ~19%

The effective rates are that much lower. I'll be sure to hold my breath until Russia's 20% statutory rate starts producing vast tech giants.

Effective tax rates for 2016 (pre-tax changes):

Amazon 36%; Intuit 33%; Netflix 28%; TI 27%; Apple 25%; Oracle 22%; Priceline 21%; Intel 20%; Google 19%; VMWare 19%; Adobe 18%; Facebook 18%; Cisco 17%; Qualcomm 16%; Microsoft 15%

So your premise is that the tech giants having effective rates comparable to Europe, is what produced their extraordinary successes. Be sure to let Europe in on the secret.

It's terribly disturbing.

I believe the majority of antidepressants like SSRIs, if not all of them, all have warnings that they increase suicidal ideation/suicide, higher than if given placebo. This part of the health industrial complex is perhaps the epitome, where when complex environmental factors are at play, however instead of those being addressed - in the person's life, in the family, in the society - we offer a little, relatively cheap pill and hope that will solve it (along perhaps with years of therapy). The system is broken, it's dis-eased, and it's self-perpetuating to maintain the status quo.

For iOS and Mac users, may I also suggest people consider using an adblock product we develop – Magic Lasso (https://www.magiclasso.co/).

Could you elaborate on how do you go about keeping in touch with people professionally. It’s a struggle for me to even keep in touch with friends. I guess I need to sustematize it somehow, because otherwise I just don’t keep in touch with anyone. I’m 30, so it’s an issue.
These are all good points. However, there are now assumptions that do not follow from the C standard, such that you can read the same byte back from a file after writing it. As the post I linked to mentions, you can indeed model an unbounded tape if you assume the existence of streams with such strong properties and rely on their semantics in your solution.

This assumes facilities that are not prescribed by the C standard though, such as a data structure whose semantics cannot be expressed in C in general. This is a rather striking difference to other constructs such as declarations and for loops: If pressed, we could express their semantics within C while relying exclusively on features that are prescribed by the standard.

I remember reading about some project where as a user you would automatically take part in the bidding process for ad placement on the websites you yourself visited.

The fundamental problem with defaults is that people do not change them, no matter what they say.

There might be a fantastically tiny fraction of people actually following through.

Eyeo even uses this behavioral insight to make a case that users like the acceptable ads program (since users don't change defaults)

The speaker was asked by the audience whether there is a control group in which the acceptable ad option is switched off and the speaker only grinned about it.

It's a dark pattern and Eyeo is fully aware of it.
