Donald Trump is rich because his dad left him an inheritance. His businesses were fraught with turmoil. If he just kept the money in an index fund, he would be richer than he was today.

So reset everything to square one, and there's one person who's not going to make it on their wits.

Need more examples? How about Bill Gates? No doubt, a very smart guy. But he would not be where he is today without that fateful meeting with IBM, where MS negotiated providing DOS for the PC. How did he get that meeting? His mom worked for the United Way, and knew IBM's CEO.

Then consider everything else that led to that day. He grew up in a fairly well-off family which could afford to send him to MIT. He was in the right place at the right time when Gary Killdall dropped the ball. He had the benefit of excellent timing, as the window for establishing OS dominance on the PC was very small. I'm sure Gates would even tell you - his success is, in large part, a product of luck.

What I'm saying is, to become rich, it's not enough to be talented. You have to get the right opportunities and seize those opportunities when they come to you. In my experience, there are more people with talent then there are opportunities. So that random room of people is always going to turn out different.
I thinking quoting from just one side of the argument is unfair, particularly if you’re drawing conclusions.
Doesn't DNScrypt (DNS over HTTPS) fix this issue?
Hopefully I can clarify some of the "maybe it is, maybe it isn't" in this post - I've found the Julia community to be almost universally full of helpful and friendly folks, mostly scientists and/or people with a language nerd bent.

I'm not sure if there's a fair way to quantify drama in a community, but it hasn't been a big issue for me relative to all the positive interactions I've had with other julians.
No, no no and no.

It does not improve privacy, it just puts all your DNS history in the hands of one provider. Not only that it adds latency for no real gain. HTTP is a terrible protocol for anything time sensitive. (its a fairly bad protocol for anything fast or efficient full stop.)

The better way to do this is encourage/provide DNSsec (so we know that a provider is who they say they are) and then encrypt dns queries between servers.

Firstly that stops everything being centralised by default, (kinda, DNSSec has a chain of trust, so thats centralised) DNS is a massively scalable fault tolerant, distributed key value store. Far faster and more reliable than toys like Etcd and the like.

secondly you don't then loose geolocation/provider steering for nearest/fastest node. (yes you can get meta data from IP, but that's not really that useful, that means the _service_ has to figure out how to route your request, not the upstream DNS.)

But it needs improvements to make its more anonymous, slapping a fast SSL like tunnel on a resolver combined with DNSsec seems like a much better way to do this and dns over HTTP.

True I bought this as a one off since this was the only tool I found to gather the data easily.
For safety critical displays, that is. A big share of IVI systems used Qt and QML for years; with this component, the same stack (Qt+QML) can be used for the primary driver displays, including warning and damage lamps.

Until now these indicators were almost always actual physical lamps; the information displays often found in the center between tacho- and speedometer don't use any kind of fancy graphics at all; they're mostly just black and white LCDs driven by the ECU over the CAN bus.
>very superficial and inducing very strong emotions. IMHO.

I think spending part of your young adult life participating in the actions and socialisation of an institution, and then living in a society where everyone around you shares that experience, creates far stronger emotional influence on people's judgements than seeing some people you don't know being shot in a far away country.
Regarding these kinds of plants that operate by burning: We don't know what "stockpiled" solar energy will be. Some people think it'll be hydrogen. Other people think we'll figure out how to generate flammable gasses like methane, propane, natural gas, ect, from sunlight.

Historically, steam turbine plants get retrofitted to run on different fuels. I think there's a good chance we'll figure out how to stockpile a flammable gas from solar energy, and then retrofit these kinds of plants to use it.

In this particular case, capturing CO2 is interesting, because stockpiling solar energy to a flammable gas may require a source of pure CO2. Thus, this plant could stockpile CO2 in the winter when sunlight is less abundant, and then stockpile fuel in the summer when sunlight is more abundant.
I do like that last bit. For full disclosure: I'm sure that for many places their recruiting process is so bad that just enumerating the required skills with some external reference will improve outcomes, but I'm not sure that this is what people think is actually going on.
You should still wait for having something good enough before presenting it, or people will have bad first experience.

Don't do this. As soon as your product does enough to solve the customer's pain start selling it[1].

If people have a bad experience then talk to them and use that experience to improve the product. If you make changes in isolation without talking to people you may well be making the wrong changes - you don't know what the right changes are without feedback.

If your customers don't have a bad experience, because either you were lucky and built it right to begin with, or because the product is horrible but is less horrible than the problem it solves then you can have paying customers, traction, investors, money, fame, etc! Most of all, you won't run out of money and fail.

Sell as soon as you can. That's usually earlier than you think, and a lot earlier than the time the product is 'ready'.

[1] Unless you're in the sort of market where there's only one customer (eg defence contracting). But if you are then you'll probably have started the sales process before you've even started building the product, because if that one customer doesn't want it there's no point building it.

There is great value in the infrastructure required to produce a widget, even if it's just a group of people "putting thier heads together" (which is why individual workers can't just quite and start producing on their own).

But usually both the workers and the owners contribute and help build and maintain that infrastructure, so it seems unfair that only the owners profit.

>>> The crow explosion has created a moral quandary for Japan, a nation that prides itself on nonviolence and harmony with nature, because culling programs are the only truly effective method of population control.

No. Culling something like city crows is insanely difficult without resorting to poisons, a very dangerous option in a city. Crows are a problem all over the planet. Get some hawks, or whatever species of raptor is native to japan. A few pairs of nesting peregrines will keep the population in check. More importantly, the presence of raptures in an area changes the behavior of prey species. The crows will be far less bold.

Except eagles. Eagles are wimps. I see them harassed and chassed away by crows almost daily.

Wait what? I'm using "I/O bound" in the sense of CPU operations waiting on reads/writes to e.g. a disk. If you consider an operation waiting on the cache to be I/O bound, what do you consider to be CPU bound or cache bound? And what terminology would you use to refer to operations which are waiting on the disk as opposed to the cache? What about memory instead of the cache?

I think it's useful to differentiate between an operation which is purely CPU bound (i.e. it's just constantly calculating without a reference) and an operation which is cache bound (faster than memory but still bound over the CPU). But calling operations I/O bound when they're sufficiently optimized that they live in the cache and don't even hit memory, let alone disk is an abuse of terminology. In the context of what I'm talking about, most HPC is absolutely not I/O bound unless it's using SATA/SAS drives instead of cache and memory.

And circling back to my original point, most research labs which can afford it will sufficiently optimize their code and hardware so that they don't hit the disk unless they're working with terabytes of data. Python, C++ and R provide numerous packages between the three of them for numerical computing across each of these bottlenecks, so I don't think Julia can rely on differentiating itself by shining in an I/O bound setting (i.e., waiting on disk). And if it does, "hundreds of gigabytes" isn't really the data size in which people are (in my opinion) going to overcome the friction of a new language and ecosystem just to harvest those benefits.
While that's true something like $10,000 would at best accelerate medical research a bit, ultimately it will only save those people for whom medical research would have otherwise been too late. It's not entirely clear what this figure would be, but with billions spend each year it's probably not several per $10,000.

I really doubt you can get rich by not being lucky. I was like Naval and thought many of my achievements were due to sheer hard work. And then I read this article about luck:

http://nautil.us/blog/-the-key-to-good-luck-is-an-open-mind

And I got the book mentioned in the article - The Luck Factor by Richard Wiseman.

One of the exercises in the book is to think over how things have unfolded in your life - what would have happened if you took left inside of right when you met your partner or got a great job? And when I thought it over, there has been some element of luck involved. At my first job I wasn't supposed to be there for an interview but went along with a roommate as I had nothing better to do.

Now I believe sure you can work hard and do most of the work in Naval's list but all of it will ensure you are lucky when you run into one of the long term people in a long term industry. And everything will fall in place.

DNS over TLS exists as well. DNS over HTTPS is just another format for DNS over TLS.
I'm sorry, no. I'm a fan of both, and I've seen every Star Trek series and film, and almost everything Star Wars, but Star Trek was never philosophically deep nor did it often take scientific plausibility seriously.

The scripts for TNG often simply said "tech" when "technology" was supposed to "happen" because the production crew didn't care about the spec-fic element as anything more than a means to drive melodrama[0] which couldn't offend sponsors or the morals of American viewers. There's a good reason the term "technobabble" originated with Star Trek, and why, despite the Federation's implied diversity and progressivism, there has only ever been one openly gay character depicted in its history. Star Trek is about as deep as a saucer of milk.

The Force and hyperspace are no less plausible than a warp drive running on dilithium crystals and subspace (arguably more, since there are actually mathematical models for hyperspace, but what even is subspace?) Both franchises have alien races and cultures which consist of a few generic traits, and Klingon bat'leths make about as much sense as lightsabers, which is to say, little beyond their relative cool factors. The only difference between the two franchises that Star Trek has somehow gained pretentions of being something more highbrow than it ever really was.

if built well

Think of the SaaS products you pay for. Do you know if they're well built? No. You don't get to see the code. You're still a customer.

"Well built" affects your on-going costs. Maintaining a badly built app is tedious and expensive. That's the reason to build well. It has no impact on the customer (even bugs are tolerated so long as data isn't lost). No one cares about the quality of the code when they buy an app.
Imagine if this became the default with only Cloudflare as a provider. Firefox users in countries all over the World will not be able to visit a website locally or anywhere else without asking an American corporation for the IP address first.

I mean. I can't believe that there are going to be a lot of alternative providers. It's going to be an expensive service to provide. Especially when one of the requirements is that you can't mine the data to recuperate costs (and rightly so).

The comment threads on YouTube are usually inane. If they're not inane, they're racist or homophobic (or both at the same time).

I spent some considerable time the other day reporting racist and hateful comments on a single YouTube video. It's not something I would normally spend any time doing but in this instance it was time well spent.

I've limited my exposure to comment sections on websites to HN only. It's the only place I've found that is reliable to not be full of hate and well moderated. I only watch YouTube videos through DDG these days.

There was an interesting point made on a podcast yesterday (Struggle Session EP 48 w/ Felix Biederman, i believe) todo with growing up online in the 00's and the social experience of being online and being a teenager. Many of us here can likely relate to feeling a bit out of place in our primary edu and the experience of going online to "find your people". Whoever you were comfortable "hanging out with" online, RPG people, emo kids, poets, FPS gamers, programmers, whoever - you could find them online.

Thats definitely still true today, but 10-15 years ago we didnt have this convergence of platforms so much. Instead all these communities existed on sites of their own with closer control of their space. The problem today is that everyone is thrown into one bucket, and everyone in that bucket is looking at one another and obsessing over current events (poorly) and using their real names. Platforms are like monoculture farming, and the more decentralized internet of the recent past was more like smaller gardens tended by loving gardeners. Sure, the new internet is more productive, but we can't say its the same thing as the diverse, small garden.
Google Cloud Joins the LoRa Alliance
Treating companies as social personalities is just stupid. Google is a business, and it is there to make money (whilst not damaging itself too much that it goes out of existence). My point is, that Google as a company(their leadership) could choose to work with the military, and even openly build weapons for a country, as long as that motive is public, and bear the hate from public that they are a piece of shit company that whored out to the military.

But, cat calling a company on forums whilst there are other companies that openly build weapons is just useless in my opinion.
