Roller Coaster Tycoon (1999) had a basic loan system where you'd start most scenarios off with a 10k loan, and every week of the month you'd be paying back some interest. RCT 2 had a more sophisticated system where the interest rate was displayed to the player, and it some parks it was fairly high, to where one had to carefully reason about their financial options.
You can just buy a license to 1Password whenever you want, though... it’s not subscription only.

Steven Pinker’s Ideas About Progress Are Fatally Flawed
Drop Facebook. It won't happen overnight and it's up to people in the tech community to innovate and ideate around new social tech that isn't monolithic and centrally planned.
Until the Internet and social media in particular, there was no way for people to spread information this quickly and efficiently.

People are very susceptible to believing false information stated eloquently, and this as you say has always been true, but in days past the spread of such information was limited to very disreputable channels and were quite easily countered with that fact alone. "Where did you get that from? Oh, <publication> is full of shit, everyone knows that Joey".

Now it takes ten minutes for a Facebook post to be heard 'round the world and people believe it implicitly. Spreading fake news has never been easier, and countering it has never been harder.
For me, something related: can I remove the data in a usable form? 1Password makes that easy, so like others here, I'm happy to pay them to perform the 'eternal vigilance' that secret-keeping entails.
The blog entry even states, “While still tough, this decision was easier to make as people looking for licenses will be able to download 1Password 7 directly from our website. I know this isn’t ideal for those who love the Mac App Store and prefer to purchase standalone licenses and I apologize for that. But overall I believe this was the correct decision to make.”

+ My understanding of the way the Nyquist limit plays out in digital photography is that it guarantees no moire. If moire isn't an issue in a scene then it is possible, but not guaranteed to get higher resolution (that of the individual pixel). Of course resolution and sharpness are not exactly the same thing...that's why a 16 mega pixels is a resolution not a sharpness and why a lot of studio photography uses cameras without anti-aliasing filters (e.g. medium format digital). In the studio, conditions can be set up to avoid moire in ways that aren't practical for sports or wedding photography. Similarly, moire isn't going to be a problem with astro-photography and some subjects in landscape photography.

+ For what it's worth, ringing artifacts are often caused by diffraction or lens aberrations rather than aliasing from sampling frequency (though they can be).

+ The shape of the modulation transfer function (MTF) is different between film and digital. The line pair comparison in the article illustrates it without being explicit. The Nyquist limit means that sharpness falls off a cliff in digital images and the example line pairs go from resolved to gray abruptly. The example line pairs for film fade to gray, what is and isn't sharp is determined by observation rather than an equation. Digital images often appear sharper because they are only ever so sharp and film appears softer because it is kinda sorta sharp beyond the point where it is clearly sharp. It's why film has a different look...or is a different artistic medium than digital when it comes to some forms of expression.
> No, but they all went to college, so they should have learned calculus, and derivatives.

I've been out of school for ten years, and haven't used calculus in about twelve. How exactly do you think knowing calculus would have helped here? Be careful assuming everyone learned the subject as you did and knows how/when to apply it to various situations.

Personally, I learned about interest rates in middle school. I used that knowledge, combined with additional research on subsidized loans, to decide to take out loans. I also had the advantage of learning the downsides of debt collection from my brother's mistakes.

Not everyone is a rational economic actor. Children/young adults ages 17-22 definitely aren't the most rational amongst us.

> It’s very hard to understand an unfamiliar codevase.

I agree - the high level design and stuff is hard. But being a user and having the code allows you to document

1. Function level documentation including inputs, outputs. Even if you don’t understand how it fits in to the bigger picture.

2. Provide examples of working code (recipes) with some explanation of what it does.
Why do you think that the cost has to be equivalent? The difference of cost would be a perfect measure of the strength of that desire; if people would be willing to pay a significant premium to get X, then that's a credible sign that they desire X and it matters to them; and if they're not willing to pay a nontrivial premium to get X then clearly it's not valuable to them.

The qualifier about perfect information and comprehension is legit, but given that, if you'd choose decentralization only if the cost and other circumstances are equivalent then that's a sign that decentralization is worth zero.
My guess would be because Palo Alto's right next to Stanford and an important part of Silicon Valley, esp since Palantir HQ is in Palo Alto.
Can you explain how you found that?
I don't understand how the Gaussian can introduce ringing artifacts. It doesn't have any negative lobes.

If the scene you are sampling contains arbitrarily high frequencies, there's no way to avoid aliasing, yes. But surely ringing per se is always a product of the reconstruction filter. (Fourier transforms etc. are a different matter.)

Your description of the past is really really wrong. In the US "fake news" just used to be the "yellow press" and it was as widely spread as the fake news of today. In fact the Spanish American War was basically entirely started because of the yellow press and the cries of "Remember the Maine" despite the sinking of the ship probably just being an accident.

You are misunderstanding the point. We aren't saying that MoviePass doesn't provide value for customers. We are saying that MoviePass doesn't create any value for customers. They are not increasing supply. They are not increasing demand. They are not adding efficiency. They are simply paying for the money you save with capital from investors. Every dollar you save on a movie ticket is a dollar that MoviePass pays to the theater. That is great for quick growth but I can't think of a single successful business that works that way.

Dedicated servers are now as easy to manage as cloud vms because good dashboards + management tooling have become cloud agnostic. I use Kubernetes + Rancher to manage a cluster of dedicated servers and it's a fraction of the cost as a public cloud.

Either there is enough information to distinguish correlation from causation analytically, or humans are actually incapable of distinguishing the two.

Well, what I'd like to know is how you distinguish correlation from causation with any amount of data. What definition, in terms of data, do you use?

Note, probabilistic and algorithmic theories of causation have a long history and many problems, see:

It can be great for the state and a "smart move" and still be exploitative.

There's a middle ground here.

I used to feel the same about the lotto being a game for "consenting adults", but it's a game that the state has a monopoly on and markets primarily to the least educated and most in need of hope. That should make recipients uncomfortable.
When you include the hosting service, having a subscription (since you're providing an ongoing service) makes perfect sense. In this case, so does also forcing the current version.
Your co-founder's problem is that he thinks the GDPR is a law, in the sense of "a document a judge can use to objectively determine whether an action is or isn't lawful". The GDPR is a statement of general principles, with the implication that if you behave more or less in that spirit then the regulators won't go after you. If you are accustomed to the rule of law, then you won't like the GDPR.

But you don't need the rule of law. Myanmar locked some Reuters reporters up with no convincing legal basis; and yet I can visit the country with no special fear that I'll get locked up, because I know more or less what their government likes and dislikes, and I know that I'll stay well away from the line. You can do that too. The EU obviously won't come after you for the email deletion issue, just as Myanmar obviously won't lock up a visiting businessman who sticks to business--there are too many easier targets.

Your lawyers can't help you, because this isn't law. They'll just say "it depends", because that's all the text of the law allows them to say. (Although, I do enjoy watching people who seem to be general proponents of the GDPR confidently take contradictory positions here.) I seem to be the only one who think this degradation of the rule of law--from the EU, a region that basically invented the concept--is bad; but even I agree that it's no major obstacle to doing business.
The contrast between Tesla and the rest of the auto industry is terrifying
I’ve worked in a few different settings on large-scale scientific computing. For those applications:

- Not cost-efficient at large scale. When you expect and plan to run thousands of nodes at near 100% CPU and memory usage for years at a time, running a machine room can still be less expensive.

- Specialized hardware not available in public clouds, e.g., very low latency networks configured in an optimal topology.

- Lack of control over hardware upgrade schedule. E.g., a cloud probably won’t give you those shiny new GPUs as early as you can shove them in your own servers.

The balance is shifting in many of these areas, and there’s plenty of scientific computing that can use a public cloud now. But I still wouldn’t use it for problems that are both highly CPU-intensive and require low latency networks, especially if I have long-term workloads.

Probably all the germs you have heard about are different than when they were first characterized, more or less durable than as studies have shown, strictly transmissible through any pathway but practically limited in pathway, and dose-dependent. There's strains of stuff never detected or isolated, there are seven billion people. Try not to think about it!!

It is neither strictly possible nor ethical to study transmissible disease in vivo, because tissues cannot be inspected in vivo during infection. In vitro experimentation and blood testing do not have the same preconditions as a person's living tissue. Even high-volume blood tests are fallible, why Theranos got in trouble.

Patient self-reporting and some experiments varying in ethical character from "An immunologist developed and self-tested a vaccine first" to "subjects were purposefully exposed by scientists without their knowledge or consent" give epidemiologists and physicians a set of heuristics for preventative care and treatment.

There is a contradiction between your second and your third paragraph. If people learned that "<publication> is full of shit", they will also learn that Facebook is generally full of shit and will learn to discern between trustworthy posters, gossipers, and posters whom they know nothing about (and so can trust only guardedly).

I do hope it's a self-correcting process.
I won’t be able to address all the points. But in my experience, C++ has been going in the wrong direction in terms of simplicity or productivity. Modern C++ is drastically more complicated and riddled with deep esoterica. The flexibility benefit modern Python gives is probably more like 1000x, further mitigating many cases when there are concerns about the flexibility/performance trade-off.

Just for one example about what I mean with modern C++: < https://bitbashing.io/std-visit.html >.

This example is relevant because you mentioned you feel you never need Python’s flexibility in the day to day. But in Python (much like in many functional languages), the entire idea of the visitor pattern can be boiled down to map() —- just one function call! If you want to specialize this for your own data type, you can very easily implement the iterator protocol, often simple __iter__, __getitem__, and __next__, which themselves could use e.g. numba to iterate some homogeneously typed tree class with pure C performance characteristics, or a sum type (like with Cython fused types) as in the std::visit example, etc.

The point is that the data model’s flexibility makes this trivial, rather than convoluted. In the cases when I’d care about this pattern, it would be no contest that Python offers hugely improved productivity.

So it’s not just naive flexibilty of modifying object instances, but the bigger picture of flexibility in the data model overall.

That sounds good, but I get the distinct impression that most crypto holders don't understand tech very well at all, nor what the true risks are. Furthermore, these places like coinbase, aren't they just bankers who moved into the crypto realm?

"For example, it's considered unclear enough that the ClearBSD license was explicitly created to clarify that it doesn't offer patent grants - jttp://directory.fsf.org/wiki/License:ClearBSD"

GDPR is a train-wreck. I'm fully behind the motives, but like many high-level initiatives it has the effect of further tilting the playing field in favour of incumbents who have the financial and legal resources to accommodate it. Europe needs to rein in Facebook, but not at the cost of any hope of the next Facebook being European.
I don't know about that, this one was at the college I used to work at before and I got to mentor two young developers and I continue to mentor one of them. Not everything is as bad as people might think, and some developers work different from others. We saw some amazing projects out of TADHack Mini.

> reductionist materialists claim it cannot exist

They don't claim the person did not have a subjective experience. They simply claim that the subjective experience was not accompanied by someone's consciousness actually viewing the physical room at a vantage point that is outside of their physical body.

In other words, the brain is incredibly powerful, and can produce overwhelmingly vivid internal experiences -- an NDE could easily be an intensified internal experience. There are so many examples of how the brain does this in less mundane situations than biological death, it would be unreasonable to rule that out as a very strong possibility.

You might ask why are NDEs so similar? The same reason that alien abduction stories are so similar. The particular details are have over time become embedded in the social subconscious, and thus are strongly suggestive to the individual experience and also to the retelling of it.
Whenever we tell a story, we bend details a bit towards common templates or archetypical elements. Even more so if the experience itself was vague and hard to remember or express.

And of course, it's very possible a decent percentage of people are unwittingly fabricating the NDE. We aren't the most reliable recorders of our own experiences.

> NDE experiencers have produced veridical proof that they were indeed consciousness, detached from their body

This is an incredible claim. What hard evidence is there to support it?
The end result with macros is far more seamless than with codegen, the point being that a consumer of the library doesn't even need to know about the macros. The code just works like the reflection approach, but without the runtime penalty. Codegen on the other hand makes an implementation detail a maintenance cost for the user of the library.
