I think the frequency of falling in mountain biking is relative to how often you go out and push yourself to get better. You could just ride easy trails, don’t try to set record speeds on the downhills, and your chances of crashing are pretty slim (disclaimer: I’ve been riding flats for 20 years, so it has always been easy for me to put my foot down when things get squirrelly!) Road biking on the other hand, gives you significantly less control over what takes you down. Often it’s a car, not your own fault.

How Althea ensures net neutrality
A restaurant has some really popular plates, fancy looking things. Owner sees a way to generate revenue, so he sells the plates for $5 and every time you bring the plate back, you can refill it for $10 (which is a discount off normal prices). That's a pretty good deal for everyone, this is good.

Alternatively, same restaurant has some really popular plates, fancy looking things. Owner sees a way to generate revenue, so he sells the plates for $5 and a recurring fee of $1 per month. That's it, nothing else. Why would I want this? What's in it for me?

Have you tried clicking the vertical bar that spans the comment and its children right underneath the voting buttons?
>"[..] it says more about you than the economists..."

I think I will be cavalier about that comment.

>"[..] what mainstream economists really believe [..]"

This is something that always puzzle me in this kind of discussion, maybe you can help me with that. What mainstream economists really believe?

I mean, here (1) is a review of what text-books say about money creation. In my opinion (and it seems yours too) this is not the same that we see in practice.

So, my question would be, do mainstream economist believe different things that what they write in the textbooks?

I had the same issue. It was a result of the privacy settings being turned up (I think there's a built-in block list).

Edit: dug a little more, it's probably unrelated to your issue, but worth a check.
I think the real rub here is that the developer of the website doesn’t know if Autoplay is going to work or not. From what i read on this the site doesn’t not get access to any information on if Autoplay did work or is going to work. For many business type of applications this is critical as being as low friction as possible is very important. Autoplay for a web conference, for example, makes perfect sense. But the JavaScript developer doesn’t know if this event failed or worked. Plus what if you aren’t in active development on your product that relies on this? You have to go modify functionality that has been perfectly fine for years.

I also don’t like how quick google is to make such unilateral changes and just boom there they are in production on the web. Good luck Keeping your site browser agnostic. The but ticket for this feature even advised that site developers check to see if the browser is chrome first and then do different logic. What a mess.

"Soon"? You're putting too much faith in the Almighty Cheetos' thinking skills.
Then you point that out.
Perhaps I can add my interpretation. In college, we did a great deal drinking and went to great lengths to find the coolest bar/pub night club. We graduated, got married, had kids and now spend our time fixing our homes. Most of us drink very little or in my case literally stopped drinking. Every once in a while a friend from college will pop into town and ask me to go drinking/partying/looking for the coolest pub. I always marvel at how some of my friends never changed. They still drink like we in college, which was a good 20 years ago in my case.
PHANTOM: Practical Oblivious Computation in a Secure Processor [pdf]
The existence of this article kind of shows why I don't care for codes of conduct. It exemplifies the attitude of "you're not obeying my document entitled 'how to be a good person', so by definition you must be a bad person", and that's simply not true. It is, however, a repulsive attitude. Just because you named it that doesn't mean that's what you've written. Let me break it down:

1. There's no substitute for not being a horrible person. Good people don't need codes of conduct, and jerks aren't changed by codes of conduct.

2. Codes of conduct are a political tool, not a technical one. It is very hard to define human behavior, which means by their nature codes of conduct are relatively general and then get interpreted to fit specific cases.

3. Jerks like politics, because they're a great smokescreen.

Codes of conduct cannot possibly help organizations. No one changes their behavior to meet a code of conduct. Instead, it becomes a reason to exile users. That in itself is fine, but unnecessary. Most organizations have either a formal or defacto leader that can unilaterally excommunicate offensive members, either with a ban button or simply through social pressure.

When a leader does this, their decision can be questioned. The question revolves around "did the leader do the right thing for the community?". Once you introduce a code of conduct, the question becomes "did the leader make a decision in line with the code of conduct?", and that's a really shitty question to use as the guiding star for a community.

Once a community is in a position where it's making decisions based on an arbitrary piece of paper, it's easy for the very people the code is trying to protect against to use that code to solidify political power. The interpretations are pushed to be broader, and people start rules-lawyering their political adversaries with the CoC. This is not a healthy place for a community to be in. Jerks can no longer be excluded for being unhelpful and obstructionist, as long as they do it in a way that doesn't violate the CoC. Codifying your community behind a CoC reduces your flexibility because it gives people ammunition to argue against the statement "you're being horrible and we don't want you, goodbye".

I've seen this cause the ultimate heat-death of multiple formerly delightful internet communities. The pillars of the community get slowly weeded out because they refuse to bow down to the precise wording of the almighty CoC, the nazi moderators set in, the baseload members migrate to wherever the pillars went, and the community withers.

I've done it before and I'm bored of the cycle. I'll happily work with a team of enthusiastic people run by a benevolent dictator for life who isn't afraid to convo me and tell me I'm being a wanker. Tell me I've got to abide by the 37 point grand thesis to not triggering people and I'm out.
When I was on a jury I noticed that people with the strongest convictions end up winning so to speak. They make everyone understand they won't be persuaded and will drag the thing along. Everyone wants to go home to their lives so they end up not caring and just giving in eventually.
Amortized price is what everybody uses, for every type of power plant. You get financing, and charge an amount that gives you a reasonable profit over the expected life of the plant. You don't charge extra at the beginning. Storage facilities are no different.
I went to an escape room in eastern Europe recently. The escape room was a lot of fun, we booked two rooms that were mostly science focussed (one was about Nicola Tesla and the other was a lab where you needed to find the cure against a zombie invasion).

I talked to the owner a bit, and he said that their room was also part of a franchise. They sent the floor plan of the room to the game provider and received the full instructions for setting up the room, as well as a shipment of all the electronics and other stuff needed for the puzzles.

Of course every "instance" of such a room is unique in some way. But all in all it seems to be a good concept - a company with some smart people comes up with interesting puzzles, and escape rooms all over the world implement those ideas in an actual building.

> I work for a major publisher. Ad-blockers are starting to hurt our revenue big time.

No. What's hurting your edit:employer's revenue is years of blinking GIFs, auto-play videos and misleading links thrown between paragraphs. That's the first reason why I started using ad-blockers 15 years ago. The privacy issue is a recent thing.

> We're doing a redesign now. Manager says that we should just discourage the users of Firefox (not optimizing for Firefox, and poor UI) from visiting our website as they bring a loss.

But that'd just bring chrome users who use ad-block.

> Edit: They are even going to approach google and ask them to introduce new API's that allow us to determine if browser really chrome or just chromium, so that we block chromium. And a DRM for website instead of only video DRM that exists, so that user cannot view source code, and no extension can block the ads. Other publishers are doing the same thing. Expect new DRM for HTML5 too.

Going to be fun :/.
Yes definitely have my doubts. But hope it works out. Just love Flutter and hope Zircon works out.

But we have to see it actually happen.
I don't know about the "life opens up again" part--it's sort of just a grind right now. The only way it opens up for me is when I find the half of the passive income I need to not work anymore. It's sort of a curse that I got halfway to my goal and now I can't seem to figure out the other half, lol.

I'm not "done," I keep re-inventing myself. But each time it gets harder to pull off.

The part about not knowing that other person? I got a doctorate in my 20s, I was going places. I don't even know that guy anymore. I sometimes wonder if that was all just a dream. But it wasn't--that smart, hard-working guy was me.
check your contract and see if there is any legal issues with leaving the company, usually there is and it's significant

after that you will be able to think more rationally
but honestly, if you have drive to do something else then leave transition period for leaving the company and in no way tell investors your idea is to start a new company, they will claim this came in the time of working there thus IP for new product should stay in the company
Agree with this. If you are great at starting things, stick with that. Do what you love. Hire a proven CEO with a track record of taking something from $X million to $XX million. Build a solid transition plan and go be happy.
You call it a problem, some call it a challenge.

I'd like to posit that "back in the day", people's lives had reached a max in their 20's after they finished school, got a job (unionized and/or indefinite contract), got married, bought a house, started having kids, etc.

Nowadays, school will take longer because you need it to make a decent living - there's too many low paid jobs. Second, to get married and buy a house and such, you need a decent income. To get that, you either need a high education and live in an area where you can use that, or work multiple jobs and have no time for a social life, or be lucky and get a middle class paying jobs in an affordable area.

So it's not just a personal choice from ambition, like you're suggesting, but it's also that the previous generation had it easier. They had the option to work where they live, to buy a house off of that money, and do it all before their 30's.

Some days, it is normal to wake up and think that this other idea you have is far more promising and has far more potential than the one you are working on. Just stay focussed and finish what you embarked on. Startups are about execution. Ideas are only 1%. Soon the novelty of the idea wears off and it is what you do day to day that distinguishes your company from others.
It is very relevant. Both async io and multithreaded io are ways to extract parallelism. Which one is more appropriate depends on the characteristics of the problem.

Unified ObliviousRAM:Improving Recursive ORAM with Locality and Pseudorandomness [pdf]
IMO your only real options are to (a) quit to do the other thing or (b) not quit and forget about the other thing.

If you're funded, you can't do both. But there's some nuance in how one can quit, which depends largely on how far along your current business is.

If you have multiple cofounders and a solid team in place, you can just leave yourself. You talk to the investors first, and give them some sort of perk, such as a right of first refusal, or even spin it out of the current company (which means they get a small equity stake since your current company owns some of the new one). This is all fine, but only works if your current business is strong enough to run completely without you.

If the current business isn't to that point yet, then leaving it will kill it, and dividing your attention is as good as leaving it. Not fair to the investors, not fair to the employees. So you sort of just grin and bear it. That's the hidden cost of taking funding and asking people (both investors and employees) to believe in you. But such is life.
Is content based advertising such an ineffective thing that we _need_ individually targeted advertising powered by trackers?

Anyone that does a search for shoes on Google gets ads for shoe retailers. Anyone going to Gizmodo gets the same ads for tech gadgets, maybe even refined by article. Etc, like the pre-internet days.

Maybe you think the ads are irrelevant and want the "better experience" that Google and FB profess, then you get to opt-in to tracking for refined ads. Maybe we can even have fine grained controls over the data/advertising such that we can control our privacy or that one weird search we did doesn't stalk us for months/years later.

edit: I would be so ok with this business model that as long as the content based ads of a given website respect my attention and security I would actually whitelist that website.

> “In older language, distances were typically given by time — the days it takes to go from one valley to another — since it was not distance but the number of sunsets that was easy to calculate.”

This makes sense evolutionarily. I imagine that for the primitive man, a concept like time did not make much sense -- position and motion were the important things to track. We were aware of change, but perhaps we did not conceptualize of change occurring within a stratum like time. Were there any reasons we would track the number of sunsets before the advent of agriculture?

I would really like to see some research on why time behaves so strangely on psychedelics. Our everyday consciousness is mostly stable and steady so it's quite natural to think of it as dependent on time, as if there is a constant metronome quietly ticking away in the background. Most people assume that 2018 will feel mostly the same and take about as long as 2017. Only when things start slowing down and we peer behind the curtains of our egos do we get the sense that things are much weirder than we'd like to think.

Personally, I think the illusion of time must involve a many different brain processes. Memory is certainly one of the keys, but I wonder if the overall state of connectivity or speed or processing of the brain doesn't have an effect. The ego also seems implicated somehow, as we experience time differently in states of flow and moments of awe and wonder.
Could not disagree more. When I say "CAN" I mean safely.
But what if this publisher never did that? Ad blockers are taking off because of Internet-wide abuses (malware, privacy, gross obnoxiousness). It's a tragedy of the commons. Publishers never got together to regulate themselves so users are now doing it for them.

I had a very similar situation, almost 4 years ago, with my mom. A scare about a week earlier, with not so great health the year before, but doctors were optimistic, then another scare that led to a phone call of "it's time to put her in hospice care". Had just started a new job too and could start bringing in the bucks to let my mom quit her dead-end job. Fortunately I got some time off and could fly out, ~800 miles for me. I'm still glad one of my uncles is a lawyer, he was able to help me with a checklist of items to take care of and could file certain things for me. My brother (and other extended family) being local out there was also very helpful, and the fact we didn't have any disagreements over what to do with the estate. Somehow with everyone's help I took care of just about everything except the house within a week and I could go back home/to work. About three weeks later I went back to my mom's house, driving this time with my truck, to get a big load of stuff to take back with me. It still took a long time after to sell the house. Definitely put the idea of a remote home owner / landlord out of my head for the foreseeable future...

The guy at the morgue let me know he (and I suppose others in his line of work) will help people through the process of creating a will and so on. I'd parrot his recommendation that people should put their affairs in order long before they expect anything to happen, it just makes everything much smoother, especially if there are any familial disagreements.

I don't look down on economists at all but I am highly critical of them because they have the ears of our politicians when it comes to predicting the future.

The biggest problem I have with economist is when it comes to discussing technology and economy. While they have no problem having opinions about the effect of technology most treat it as an externality and not something central to their models.

Yet any economist worth their salt should do exactly that as technology has a bigger impact on the economy than what you can find in behavioral economics.

So the problem isn't the economist themselves but the power they have on public policy and that should be critiqued for the nonfactual base it is.

No need for that bs, a t-shirt, jeans and good shoes are all you need.

> The expense. A good road bike seems to cost ~10× more than a great skateboard or longboard (but about the same as an electric longboard).

You can buy great used bikes for relatively little money. I just bought a top of the line roadbike that's a bit older for $200 which I used regularly, another for $150, which I converted into a hometrainer:

https://jacquesmattheij.com/trainification

Don't fret about the quality of the bike, until you reach competition level it is totally unimportant. I regularly pass people on much better bikes with all the goodies and just yesterday I in turn was passed by someone in at least their sixties on a bike that was much older than mine and I wouldn't have been able to catch him no matter how hard I tried. The bike rarely matters.

Good that you donate then.

As for running Linux, I don't known, it depends.

I was an active subscriber for Linux Journal between 1996 until 2004, now I am subscribing again, even though I spend 90% of my time on Windows.

During the early Linux days I have bought several Linux distributions either via Walnut Creek or directly from them.

Every time I do a Linux distribution installation at home, I do donate something to the distribution, as if I would actually be buying it.

So I do put my wallet where my mouth is.

My argument is not dishonest at all, rather from someone that came to realize there is no sustainable money flow to make from selling tools to FOSS developers, and hence why all good tools have switched to the enterprise customers.
