You've selectively trimmed down his responses to the most generic-sounding lines.

The general theme in the AMA is to jump in, accept you'll make mistakes, think critically about what succeeds and fails, and leverage technology to automatically apply what you learn.

Or, from another article, "working for what he wants, not what others want him to do, coming up with independent opinions and testing them on intelligent people, being wary about overconfidence, and reflecting on his mistakes."

This is the antithesis of "expect a billionaire hedge fund manager to spoon feed you specific investing strategies on a Reddit AMA."
Hey, I got pretty excited when I heard of Strava's move to Denver since it's the one app I use nearly every day (and would love to work for). I'll be moving to Denver from Boulder later in the summer, can you comment as to whether you all will be in the Galvanize office for the foreseeable future or if you will be moving somewhere else? Thank you.
> The math is very simple, you need about $30k/year which is $50k pre-tax.

This is wrong.

$30k - $12k standard deduction = 18k taxable, 0% tax on 0-$10k, 12% tax on $10k-$18k = -960 taxes owed, then you get 2500 American Opportunity Credit or $2000 Life Long Learning Credit. So if you earn 30k as a "full time student" you would take home ~$31k less 0-10% state income tax on $18k

This is intentional, and conserves a considerable amount of battery power. Bird specifically instructs riders to kick push twice when starting from a stop. Accelerating eats up significantly more energy than maintaining speed.
In Idaho the LAW is for bikes to treat stop signs as yield signs, so they must slow and be prepared to stop. They are still at fault for crashing into someone. Colorado and Delaware have similar laws.

14 pedestrians were killed in SF traffic accidents last year, all by cars. 0 by bikes. Bikers in SF aren't cited for rolling stops so we are already living in the Idaho stop world. It is very safe. [1]

Bikers should indeed be very observant when approaching crosswalks and intersections. And they usually are, because if nothing else, their lives depend on it.

https://gdprchecklist.io/ is a good start. For many startups it's more than half the work is documentation, not changes in what they do.
The EMH is usually restricted to "available information". This hinges on what "available" means.

I would argue that until the search space was reduced to the point where it would be feasible to factor the secret before another digit is revealed, the information is not "available" in any useful sense. So maybe, in some sense, this helps us narrow down a definition of what "available" means, but since real-world price signals are rarely something that is deterministically computable, I'm not sure that this would help to clarify the EMH.

In my drug trial example, such an expert does not exist, but if we're dealing with mundane real-world stuff, then the assurances that the proposed $1B gift to a random company would actually go through would have to be factored into any strategy -- why would I bother committing computing resources to factoring the number when in all likelihood the billion dollars would not handed over because why would anyone actually do that?

If you have a decent chance of getting rich (read: well-paying job or income source), then the biggest impact on your "wealth" is going to come from two things: your ability to invest wisely, and your ability to optimize your taxes. (that's my two cents, of course - happy to be challenged on these two assumptions).

Most investing relates to Real Estate. I've been involved and knee-deep into real estate investments for most of my life, as someone who had always wanted to "get rich" (not obsessively, but still with a strong focus). I am not rich now, but I can't really complain.

Most real estate investments are made in a silly way. Most of the people I gave advice to showed me countless mistakes on the way up. They could be way richer if only they spent a few dozen hours more on understanding investing or specifically real estate investing.

The most common mistake involves the usual "rent vs buy" dilemma. It's a hot debate every time it comes up. There are plenty of "online calculators" that are supposed to help you figure out what's the best decision. However, most people ignore important factors that go beyond the financials. I believe this is important, and in fact I wrote an extensive blog post trying to list a dozen important questions to ask yourself when you are considering whether you want to buy a house or not [0]. I don't mean to self-promote here, that blog post was the result of a few hours of work, prompted by the N-th discussion on the subject, and I believed there was a need to put something clear in writing.

Now, when someone asks me for financial advice that relates to real estate, I point them to the blog post first, and then I'm happy to discuss more if they need to.

Unfortunately, the author doesn't really address how dark patterns apply to design. It seems to be more about his discovering that dark patterns is a thing, and that other designers should be aware of it.

When I worked at Zynga, I was very confused by their farming mechanics. Good UX meant users shouldn't need to wait hours to proceed with their game. But that annoying wait period created an itch that drove micro-transactions.

Was that a dark pattern? No. There was a decent understanding between user and service how it worked.

The distinction of dark pattern is when that understanding is broken by tricking the user into an unexpected obligation.
All you need to know here is that where Trending is algorithmic, Breaking News is a flag set by a trusted set of content providers. On the plus side, this simplification should allow Facebook better control of how to steer its users towards revenue generating content.
NanoVMs | Senior Software Engineer && Kernel Engineer | ONSITE | $100k - $200k | Full-time |
https://www.nanovms.com

Ready to hack unikernel infrastructure? Unikernels are widely considered the cloud of the future and we have large paying customers utilizing them in production right now.

Politicians talk about re-building bridges and roads but no one discusses the mess of what software infrastructure is today or the fact that is largely built by systems designed over 40 years ago. It's time to fix that.

The software stack today is completely ludicrous - please help us fix it.

We need both Go Engineers && Kernel Engineers. Whether it's hacking DMA drivers or figuring out what needs to be tweak to scale more than 2000 VMs on a single server we got really nice meaty engineering problems for you to solve. We're currently a small team of highly technical engineers complemented by a highly effective sales team.

We have a large existing Go codebase along with a growing base of C/ASM. Other languages you might find in our codebase - rust/lua.

The opportunity to level up your game is extreme as we are going off the deep end on the technical front.

We are looking for really smart driven engineers - eg: ones that can take charge and code like the wind.

We have quite a few really interesting secret projects going on right now - would love to tell you more when we chat.

We are all on-site in our Townsend office in SF, CA. We currently aren't doing remote. We're customer driven by engineering led.

We run traditional interviews.

Please email ian / nanovms.com and secure your spot in the systems company you always wanted to work in.
Those “We apologize for fake news” ads on TV and the subway from Facebook seem really weird to me. Like FB thinks that the reason their numbers are down is because people are mad about them and some ads saying “we’re sorry” will fix it. I think Facebook has been supplanted by a variety of better tools, some of which they themselves created, and it’s now going to be a long term stagnation and decline
I think you're thinking of this GDPR thing as two sides fighting each other, and you're there in the middle with this reasonable compromise.

But you're wrong :)

You're actually on the same side as most of the anti-GDPR arguments I see.

Rather than speak for everyone, I'll just state my case: I like the intent of the law, and I don't like my privacy or anyone else's being violated. I'm fine with reasonable regulation to prevent that.

But the GDPR is legitimately terrible regulation. It's overly broad, vague, has the potential for huge penalties, is anti-small business, tries to establish the entire globe as being within its jurisdiction because someone from the EU might stumble across your website, and expects us to just trust that regulators from 28 countries will forever be gracious and helpful instead of capriciously punitive.

If the GDPR was restricted to company with an actual presence in the EU and above a certain size, I'd be fully in favor of it. I'm not sure I'd think it's smart, but the EU should do what it thinks is right for its citizens. But instead the GDPR claims that my side project on a server in Alabama (hypothetical) is a violation of their residents' human rights worth a fine up to millions of Euros depending on the whims of 28 different regulatory agencies (yes, I know they almost certainly won't fine me millions, but this law leaves it up to them to decide).

But the reason the other side disagrees is because: a) they trust the regulators, and b) they see any collection of anything remotely resembling "private data" as a fundamental violation of their human rights.

Under that set of assumptions, why would you let small businesses off the hook so they can be free to violate anyone's human rights as they see fit?

However, to consider artificial intelligence to be a potential global catastrophe at all, let alone the single one requiring extra funding, is mostly unfounded. We currently can barely even define what the actual risk is, let alone how to mitigate it.

Although I happen agree with you personally, I don't think we should commit the fallacy of assuming that because their position seems absurd to us that it comes from a place of bias or ignorance.

To the contrary, when I listen to Holden and other EA leaders talk, it's clear they've spent way more time thinking about this stuff than I have. He is and they are thoughtful and humble about exactly the questions you pose: How much should we weight "known good" good done today vs "potential good" done in the future, how confident should we be in our ability to predict the future, etc.

As one example, Open Phil has hired historians to conduct research on how well people have (in the past) been able to predict the future, precisely to inform their thinking in this regard.

Holden is also open about how his thoughts on the importance of AI alignment have changed over time.

Again, we can disagree with him (as I do). But we absolutely should not claim that because we disagree, his position must be out of a place of thoughtlessness or bias.

It's not. The author is confused.
This would be an argument about corruption or disingenuous claims by a specific person involved with the charity movement, and could definitely heighten skepticism about other involved parties.

But it would not be a criticism of the general idea of risk-return optimization applied to charity, and would not exclude a rational participant from belief that allocating some capital towards AI research was part of an optimized approach.

The original comment made it seem like the generic idea of choosing to invest in AI safety as part of the EA framework was, in spirit, intrinsically "morally repugnant."

The specific repugnant actions of one party would not necessarily support that, anymore than say a pro football player's racist comments would imply that all of football is inherently morally repugnant.

It would seem valuable to separate and distinguish vitriol directed at the specific suspicious actions of one person from generic and wide-sweeping criticism of an entire framework that person happens to be associated with, especially when the framework itself attempts to be value-neutral conditioned on one's beliefs after looking at some evidence.

tl;dr: An inconsiderate jerk gets addicted to electric scooters.

> terrorizing its wretched NIMBYs

C'mon with that.

> I pushed down the throttle and lurched forward. I released it and the scooter stopped, nearly throwing me off. As I tried to figure out my balance, a teenager ran up to the scooter next to mine, activated it, and drove away. I had never felt so old.

This is a young person's service. No helmets or elbow pads.

> It’s best ridden with one leg on the platform and the other hanging off the side for emergency braking, or fleeing.

So it's dangerous.

> I was more likely to respect traffic laws on a scooter than on a bike, because I wasn’t as worried about conserving my momentum on a scooter.

Author is an admitted scofflaw.

Folks, momentum is the killer. It's velocity squared, so half as fast is one quarter as much "oompf" to cause injury or death. I bike (I don't own a car) and it always cheeses me off to see cyclists pulling dumb stunts in traffic.

These eletric scooters are mostly a great idea. It's that margin of failure modes that we have to watch. People being people there are going to be riders who ride like idiots and crash into people, there are going to be people who park them in stupid places. There are already "turf wars" starting among the folks who collect and charge them at night.

Buffet?! Sure. He's both from an influential family and was a prodigy for business. He's also been very lucky. If you think you can course-correct your life to rival a Buffet just by the power of these self-help articles, you're a fantasist.

I'm not telling anybody to do anything. Just opining my view that outright happiness is not a hard state to reach. One can be content with very little. When your goal in life is "more", fulfilling it is nigh on impossible.

I don't really have an opinion on how well Segways fit with bikes. However, especially at a time when there was generally less bike infrastructure than today, a lot of people weren't comfortable riding Segways on roads mixed with car and truck traffic. (Just as many weren't riding bikes there.) ADDED: Hence, why the company tried to get cities to allow them on sidewalks.
Hi all. I am a Tor Project Developer and work at Mozilla on this project. We appreciate everyone's enthusiasm and feedback. Our ultimate goal is a long way away because of the amount of work to do and the necessity to match the safety of Tor Browser in Firefox when providing a Tor mode. There's no guarantee this will happen, but I hope it will and we will keep working towards it.

If anyone is interested in assisting development-wise, Firefox bugs tagged 'fingerprinting' in the whiteboard are a good place to start. You can also run Tor relays and help us improve the health of the network by working with Tor's new Relay Advocate (https://blog.torproject.org/get-help-running-your-relay-our-...). More people being involved in spec work (especially at the W3C) and focusing on fingerprinting and privacy concerns is also very useful - it's very hard to keep eyes on all the things happening everywhere.

We also appreciate users of Firefox Beta and Nightly (Nightly especially). The flags Tor features are developed behind (privacy.resistFingerprinting and privacy.firstparty.isolate) are experimental. I appreciate bug reports from users running these flags but you should expect them to break things on the web (resistFingerprinting especially; first party isolate is generally more stable and usually only has breakage on particular login forms).

They do negotiate prices with their passengers, collectively, by deciding to drive or not. Just because it's not an explicit pricing method, doesn't mean there is no pricing method that the drivers control.
