I hike many rail-to-trail conversions on asphalt, sometimes gravel, thru the mountains, sharing the paved trail with roughly equal numbers of bikers. That solves many of your problems, while creating others. It would be financially advisable to research fees if any as tickets can be expensive. If you like bicycling in groups/crowds you enter the trail in a urban area, if you want to experience empty trails enter the trail from a rural farm county park.

I don't road bike but AFAIK the cheapest way to have a bike that weighs one pound less isn't hyper-expensive materials but diet based weight loss about a month ago. In the spirit of the old weight lifting joke, or maybe wisdom, that illegal steroid use might make you look like you have an extra year's lifting experience while causing significant medical problems, and in that context the medically safest replacement for illegal steroid use that gets you to the same place without any medical danger is simply to start lifting one year earlier, and a lot of money is made in the market convincing people that patience is not an alternative.

Because my photo exists on GitHub - like many men's - and I use my real name. I have no interest in hiding my identity when the men in the same community don't have to, and manage to receive no flack for it. I also occasionally attend conferences, meetups, and so on and so forth, and my various physical attributes are incredibly obvious there.

There are are a lot of laudable things in this story, but it seems rather odd to attribute so much of the wealth accumulation to just Ms. Bloom. She had a husband who seems to have had three careers, two of which potentially had very generous pension benefits, and a third that often pays quite well.

You can certainly do business in China, but I will hardly call it open or free market, this is knowing full well most western countries have some form of protection.

I am still hopeful they will open up more in the future, nearly 20 years since the joining of WTO.
Securely Travel Brief – Hawaii – Kilauea Volcano – 07May2018
I saw this tweet which is about the Satanic Abuse panic in the 1980s. https://twitter.com/jennlynnjordan/status/993142584116678657

If you weren't alive then, well, it was a pretty big deal and caused severe harm to many families in the US and UK and probably elsewhere.

That tweet led me to BADD - Bothered Against Dungeons and Dragons. They were formed by Pat Pulling. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patricia_Pulling

That led me to this article, which is a pretty good debunking of the hysteria.

To get some idea of how big a deal this was you should have a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleveland_child_abuse_scandal
Just imagine what you’d have gotten out of investing in the German, Russian, Chinese or Rhodesian stock exchanges in 1900. I don’t know what happened to people who were heavily invested in the French stock exchange in 1939 but I doubt it was good either. I wouldn’t want to be in the South Korean or Japanese stock exchange if North Korea does anything. You may think war is unlikely but so did a lot of people in 1913. The USA may be the safest available what with the oceans to the East and West and the client states to North and South but it’s not like a civil war would be unprecedented.
Ask HN: I want to start a new company, but I'm CEO at a funded startup
I'm in a pickle. I have a funded enterprise B2B startup that seems to be going well, but it's clear that the industry is highly competitive, but we are growing quickly. I recently stumbled upon an entirely unrelated business idea, simply because of long conversations with customers in a particular vertical and it's very clear that there's a huge opportunity there (possibly bigger than what we are doing now). How should I handle this? I feel a responsibility to run the current company to the current investors hence I wouldn't want to be distracted, but at the same time, this opportunity is bigger and requires more capital than the current company can finance. I have verbal validation "if you do x, we will partner with you" and I'd like to experiment. There are several concerns:
i) How to handle the current team and investors, it can't seem like I've given up on the current business; it still has a lot of potential
ii) the reality is that if I run it under the current umbrella we will all be diluted significantly
iii) I'm thinking of having a separate c-corp below the current one wholly owned, how do you present this to the board without seeming to be fully distracted?

Any ideas would be very welcome
> Who's writing that code? Do individuals write code and throw it over the wall, never having to talk to another soul?

Individuals who I respect professionally based on their work and effort, but whose religion and sexual orientation is something I leave to be their own. Same as I leave mine my own and don't try to impose on to others.

> And at some point, you'll find a transphobe and a trans person, a racist and an Indian, a misogynist and a woman, in your community, and something happens - and the question is, what happens then? Do we put huge amounts of effort into trying to teach bigots not to be bigots, or at least shut up about their bigotry within the context of the community?

If someone is detrimental to the community because of their actions within the community, that makes the resolution fairly obvious without a need to codify this in a document focused mostly on ethnicity, gender, religion or sexual orientation.

In case a community member holds opinions outside the project which another member finds objectionable, and which that other member then actively or repeatedly brings into the project, in order to stir conflict or evict others, I also think it's fairly obvious who is causing actual harm to the community.

And in those cases I would be very cautious about automatically portraying this offended person as a "victim", because doing so will also automatically portray the other party as a offender, despite this person maybe not having any direct involvement in the "offence" at hand.

And then you've created/codified a source of polarization in your community. That's IMO even worse than occasionally having people get offended and squaring up.
:-) Yeah, you're correct, I should have written statically-typed, not strongly-typed.

As for responsive design in graphical editors: what part do you find that they are terrible at, or is it that they don't do it at all ? Our previously-mentioned Elevate Web Builder will allow the developer to design responsive layouts that flow and move as you resize the container in the designer so that you can see how the design will behave at run-time.

> There are essentially infinite resources just in our solar system.

There aren't even essentially infinite resources in the Universe. In less than 9000 years, at humanity's current growth rate of 1.1%, human bodies will contain all of the particles in the Universe. https://youtu.be/lpj0E0a0mlU?t=397

We absolutely will have to face the trade-off between population and resources at some point in our near (geologically instantaneous) future, whether on Earth, or in the Solar System, or in the Universe.

(Long before that, the speed of light will put a fundamental limit on population growth. Any positive exponential growth rate will cause an increase in the volume of human-occupied space to grow at a rate such that the growth of the diameter of our occupied space would have to grow faster than C. Usually, I was met with skepticism or blank stares.)

A Seasoned Tester's Crystal Ball: Power Dynamics in Pairs and Mobs
It's easy to say all that when you are not being targeted or having to suffer the interactions that are the problem. Of course you don't see it, that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

What you are describing is exactly what people want. They want to be able to do something they love and focus on that, not the rest of their world.

The issue is that some people do bring it into the conversation. It's not the choice of the people being targeted. These kinds of movements are about trying to ensure that those people can participate without having to deal with abuse.

No one is going to accuse you of being bigoted for criticising some code - that's creating a strawman.

Imagine you are trans and you offer up some changes, and they are rejected out of hand. You get a twitter DM full of abusive language. Should they have not had a twitter account with the same name as their github account where they talk about personal issues?

If you are acting as you say you are, (as most people do!), then you can ignore this stuff completely, because it won't affect you. What it will do, is ensure that people who do see that kind of harassment or abuse can get involved in the projects, and focus on the code.

Saying that people trying to stop abuse in FOSS communities are not focusing on the code is like complaining that someone getting punched isn't focusing on the task at hand. They were trying to! Blame the one doing the punching, not the one asking if we can stop them being punched.

You are encouraged to find it yourself somewhere in the room and progress quicker - but if you fail, the computer "succeeds" at decoding and prints the password.
A large part of the tax burden in Norway comes from VAT (25% of sales to consumers), and the employer's payroll tax (14.1% non-porgressive).
The Bank of England article you linked to was mainstream trained economists who devise mainstream economic models in their day job explaining how the money creation process works and why it makes certain classes of model more suitable than others for measuring economic shocks. And the role of credit creation has been part of the loanable funds literature the paper is critical of since "fiat money" was a purely theoretical idea. Ultimately if you overlook the evidence of a link you actually posted yourself in favour of preferring to believe the bad faith characterisation of "what mainstream economists really believe" on blogs written by self-styled dissidents, it says more about you than the economists...

> Maybe central banks disagree but we can't really know, because they are forbidden to buy public debt directly. What is that prohibition but an institutional arrangement? And why are those institutional arrangement in place in the first case? It's true that MMT is deeply concerned about that and it seems pretty relevant to me.

Central banks being unable to lend to governments or purchase government debt directly is a total non-factor in them consistently declining to match government debt emission dollar for dollar with government bond purchases on the secondary market (no MMT economist would disagree either). They are free to complement fiscal expansions with monetary expansions (at least over periods longer than changeable monthly base interest rate targets) as MMT would prefer, or take the opposite approach, which they sometimes do. If central banks thought MMT was fundamentally right, we wouldn't have seen them ever pull money out of the system to push up interest rates...

As the author of the linked post I would love to correct a misconception here.

Go is fantastic about asynchronous programming and the fact that it hides it is one of Go's strengths. Channels are/were overused when I wrote that post but that's completely independent of Go's excellent async support.

My all time favorite blog post on the matter is http://journal.stuffwithstuff.com/2015/02/01/what-color-is-y... which is required reading about why a language hiding a program's async nature is actually the best thing it can do, and Rust's decision to not implement green threads at the language level was wrong, in my opinion.
Benchmark: Scaling TensorFlow model evaluation using Vespa
Hi,

For a small map reduce load, say a terabyte (to replace a single MR node), how much would you estimate the aws cost would be?
True. One can make nuanced arguments around #1 as well. What if we were talking about saving kids from preventable fatal diseases by donating vaccines (or donating to research efforts that are developing non-profitable vaccines); those kids won't even be alive in 50 years. Or what if it was something that'd make kids more literate; in 50 years (hopefully!) literacy won't be a problem anymore, and higher education might be massively disrupted by MOOCs, etc.
Nice writeup! Why do we love bandit problems? Not only the efficacy with which agents can minimize exploration and maximize rewards in unknown worlds. But also the emergent philosophical truths that arise concerning causality!

Remains very much an active research topic. With applications ranging from epidemiology, to website optimization ;)

There is quite a difference. In the old days, the "fund" aren't really put to use. They were given out very loosely, Many were grabbing it for their own self interest. With no results in sight, mostly just PR and stuns.

These days you are require to prove. And there are people qualify to judge whether you are actually getting somewhere.

That said, Semi Conductor is expensive, and requires lots talents and a whole IP ecosystem around it none of which China has. They are trying to paid to get these component and talent, copying and learning from it as we speak. But whether that works and how long it will take we have no idea. After all Semi moves at a very fast pace, by the time they caught up with 14nm, the world would have moved to 5nm.
10 things you should know about Mobile App Marketing
I can tell you exactly what it means because I have experienced the same phenomenon--some people just never grow up. The lead on my team is a 40 year old boy and he doesn't even realize it. He is married but has no kids so they go out drinking all the time. Maybe he's an alcoholic, I don't know. But the point is, maturity-wise, he's nowhere near my level and while I'm not the most mature person ever, I am a successful adult. And no, I don't think you have to have kids to become an adult, that isn't the thing. You do have to demonstrate that growth in wisdom and maturity, however.

I'll tell you one other unsettling thing. The thing that keeps me awake at night: My career as a software developer is nearly over (I turn 45 this week). It's not that I can't do the work anymore, I can, it's that I've grown out of the work. I also badly just want to do something else with my life and my time. I'm ---><--- this close to figuring it out, but I don't have a completely workable plan yet. There is the small matter of future tuition payments and obnoxiously out-of-control US healthcare costs to somehow manage. I imagine downsizing before age 50, but I am trying to give my family the "good life" that I didn't really have growing up. The family I grew up in "got by." That is all we did. This family, my own family, is thriving. This is my ultimate success in life and yet it is all very fleeting.
I cook 2-3 times per day: electric/induction isn't even close to gas. I even get annoyed by less powerful gas. FYI this is a common sentiment among people who cook. I'm not some master chef or anything and don't get excited by $5000 appliances. Has is simply better.

I'd sooner consider moving to a house without heat, A/C, parking etc - than one without gas (and if fact have). Even broadband can usually be added for enough money. But gas stoves are really hard to retrofit, and camp stoves are ghetto and unstable/dangerous esp with heavy dishes.

I've seen numerous examples of such documents codifying that it's completely OK to indulge in both sexism and racism if the person on the receiving end belongs to the wrong race, sex or has the wrong sexual orientation. I find it hard to support such initiatives.

And again: It detracts from what should be the focus: code.
Yeah, max execution time (and max memory usage) are the main constraints of using Lambda.

Corral deals with this by splitting input data into small enough chunks that each chunk can be processed within the timeout -- I exposed options for setting the amount of data that each Lambda function has to process. However, if each data item requires more than 5 min of processing, then corral won't work for you.

The "driver" that coordinates the Lambda functions runs locally (not in Lambda), so it doesn't have this constraint.
A better question is not what the algorithm costs to run but what would taking and labeling 60K images cost.

Check the advertising stats, NFL and pro sports in general is very boomer, and ageism in SV and tech in general means relatively little overlap can be expected between NFL fans and trendy programmers. Only 9% of the NFL audience is under 18, and the average is in the 50s.

Its going to be interesting both financially and culturally. For several decades football viewership average age has gone up about 6 months per 12 calendar months. NASCAR has it worse, they essentially have no youth viewers and no new viewers and their average age goes up almost exactly one year per calendar year. A lot of money and real estate is going to change hands when pro sportsball viewers literally die off. For various public financial reasons ESPN is already not long for this world, for example.

Ticki was an active member of the Rust community, whose contribution was energetically and cheerfully campaigning for ambitious features. Sometimes perhaps a little too ambitious, but that's a useful kind of person to have in a community.

For example, Ticki wrote an early proposal for type-level integers, which everyone knows Rust needs eventually, but hadn't been able to work up a concrete proposal for:

https://github.com/ticki/rfcs/blob/pi-types/text/0000-pi-typ...

Outside the core project, Ticki was involved with RedoxOS, an OS written in Rust:

https://github.com/redox-os/redox#-ecosystem-

Particularly the TFS filesystem:

https://github.com/redox-os/tfs

TFS naver came to fruition, so RedoxOS still runs on its original filesystem, RedoxFS.

It illustrates decisively that a language that doesn't hide async behavior balkanizes libraries into (at least) two camps for everyone's detriment.

Fixing this and doing it correctly requires language support, yes (the language's mutexes must work right in the appropriate contexts) but it is much better for the ecosystem to hide the details of async.

Making the programmer deal with async nature (even with await, yield, etc) adds additional unnecessary details for the programmer to worry about and makes the program harder to reason about.

As for where the industry is headed, Go shows what it's like getting this right.
