Another reason that people like Dalio write books like this it to be able to justify their success for reasons other than just luck.

It's them saying "Sure I have a billion dollars but I deserve it because":

a) I have worked hard and long hours
b) I am crafty and curious
c) I think and I do smart things
d) I put in a great deal of work and effort.

I remember long ago reading a book "Swim with the Sharks" about a guy who ran a envelope company. In reading what he said was the reason for his success were (from memory) a bunch of things that honestly all business people of that stature (small businessmen) generally do. I had heard those things in person (in various ways) from countless others. This author (Harvey Mackay) was all the rage in the 80's because he put in writing in a way that most people didn't realize was already common knowledge and being done. [1] The press loved it because it was folksy. Not the same as Dalio here but was a great marketing tool for Mackay and made him a mini celebrity.

[1] One of the things I remember in particular was his way of noting little things about people that he sold to so when he met them again he could act as if he cared about them. (He did I guess otherwise he wouldn't have taken the time to note things about them but it was really that he cared about getting more business not that he actually did care about them in a personal way).
Er, markets are massively parallel, yes?

Um, am I wrong in thinking that P and NP refer to non-parallel algorithms?

(Apologies in advance if I'm having a brain fart.)
Nah, tweets are just the Two Minutes' Hate - intense rage, pure undistilled fury... then quiet until the next one.
It's good practice to have working reverse DNS for all of your public IP space. Using a short domain name is convenient. There are a number of ISPs that own their AS number as a domain such as as12345.net and use that for their rDNS, so it will show up nicely in traceroutes either direction.

Google has done something a little bit different here, it's not their AS number, but same general concept.
> why not just flee the country?

For the same reasons people flee into the US from all over the world.

You still have things pretty well. Sure they are getting worse, and it's worth fighting that process, but fleeing is not a great option.
> all those companies from jurisdictions with no privacy regulations

What gives EU the right to legislate in those jurisdictions? What non-privacy laws will EU enact in non-EU countries?

> If a US startup wants to be international

Well I have no intention of being international now, but I still have to play by EU's rules on the possibility that I might ever want to do business there.
It's a balancing act between protecting the privacy of the requesting user and trying to provide enough location information that legacy services know how to route their traffic. We (Cloudflare) will likely begin providing an approximation of the ECS information which tries to strike the right balance.
A friend:

>now I'm imagining a Visa IT bloke going to the pub, presenting his card and then shouting "oh SHIT!" and running back to work
Agreed. I've loosely held an EA-like philosophy for about a decade and I think that OpenPhil orientation towards AI is pretty disappointing.

I account for my time in terms of things like number of people saved from blindness or death due to malaria, and I definitely do not count future simulated persons as worthy of any of the same concern as actual humans who exist today.

Actually, they do.
We had a water problem and I didnt know about it until days later.

No local TV and not reading the paper + no facebook= living somewhere else?

I knew all about HN, but no clue that we couldnt use water.
I’m in New Zealand, have a six month old son, we paid $0 from finding out she was pregnant up until going home after she stayed three days in the hospital to get comfortable with feeding him (there were no complications, no caesarean).

All checkups + scans pre-birth were free.

It would have cost money only if we decided to go for a private obstetrician, I think it’s the same in Australia.

So if it’s one of the 90% of births with no complications, going for the free public option just makes sense.
For home heating solar hot water heaters still beat buying wood pellets + stove over 10 years while lasting longer than that at least in the continental US. Wood is a larger pain to use and less efficient causing scaling issues.

Also with solar + wind their is no need for seasonal storage just have extra capacity and move it from other areas. 30-50% daily grid storage is about the useful limit above that and you're better off with more capacity.

PS: It's a different story if you say live on an island above the attic circle, but that's not a huge market.
I've seen an estimate that credit cards are actually slightly cheaper overall for the economy than cash, when you factor in everything. The physical infrastructure to deal with cash is not cheap.
Ironically I found out about the visa outage when I tried to deposit into my Revolut :)
I thought the natural "successor" to generators was delimited continuations, rather than iteratees or free monads/algebraic effects. Do such streaming concepts map well to eager, imperative code? I've only encountered them in Haskell, where laziness makes stuff like co-induction/recursion trivial.
Is there a reason why this could this not be brought under control naturally by providing habitat for predator species, like hawks or eagles? Apparently Peregrine falcons have done quite well in urban environments [1]

Location: Toronto, Canada

Remote: Yes

Willing to relocate: No

Technologies: PHP, Laravel, Vue, Angular, JQuery, Oracle, MySQL, MongoDB certified developer, etc

Résumé/CV: m-k.ca/RQGyM

Email: rob (at) phpdeveloper.ca

Ideally looking for part time remote opportunities (upto 100 hours a month). I'm currently working full time in the telemedicine space. My goal would be to develop a long term relationship and possible move to full time position over the next year.

17+ years of php, javascript and relational databases plus of variety of shorter experiences with Angular, MongoDB, Vue, C, Java, etc

I love php, and the laravel framework but extremely open to everything from building a roku tv channel in react, to creating a brand new crypto coin in c to helping new startups create necessary processes or even offering strategic business advice for startups.

What I would really love to build is the biggest php MMOG ever.
It's to provide a domain name when you query the reverse DNS address of an IP.
I more meant that Google offers a captcha service for others that is quite good, them implemented a really terrible one for the internal services. It truly is awful to deal with. Whoever made it must have been smoking crack or taking large quantities of lsd
I was going to bring up that I wish that groups was more like MS teams, but that leads me into Google Hangouts (Chat, Meet, Allo, Duo, Messenger, Voice, stray dogs everywhere)... Frankly, I loved Hangouts right after the Google Voice integration happened... then they broke it up and made it horrible...

I think you (google) should drop them all, bring back "Google Chat" as one named umbrella, get all of it working in one place/system, and do an "update" that points them all to the new app. Having 147 disconnected apps to communicate outright sucks horribly.

Point taken, but you should probably familiarize yourself a little bit with the road patterns of places you visit. For example, the green lanes painted on the road in Manhattan are neither "cab hailing lanes" nor the "special pedestrian lanes" that (usually grumpy) tourists seem to think they are.

-anyone frustrated by people with luggage walking in the middle of the road.
Julia's JIT compilation is rather different than what is referred to as JIT compilation in other languages, such as Java or JavaScript, where the language is interpreted (which may be interpreting instructions from a virtual machine such as the JVM), and the run-time decides if some code is being hit frequently enough to warrant compilation to native code.
Julia first compiles to an AST representation (also expanding macros, etc), performs type inference, etc. When a method is called with types that haven't been used before to call that method, that's when Julia does it's magic and compiles a version of that method specialized for those types, using LLVM to generate the final machine code (just like most C and C++ implementations these days, as well as Rust and others).
That also means that it's rare for Julia to have to dynamically dispatch methods based on the type of the arguments, which is one of the things that can really slow down other languages with dynamic types.
And you can bet that even if they did, the staff wouldn't be trained in using it. Particularly true for large stores with high turnovers of young workers. Card machines going down is a one-in-a-million event.
You already don't know what proxies your traffic is going through. Using Tor might increase the odds of a bad actor a bit but end-to-end security is something the web is getting better at right now.
> The main reason I've never used Tor is the fear that it would make me look like I had something to hide (instead of just a general desire for privacy).

1. You can hide the fact that you're using Tor by using pluggable transports which are already built-in the Tor Browser (such as meek-azure, obfs4, snowflake, ...).

2. That's the biggest reason as to why one must use Tor as much as possible even if they don't care about privacy. More people using Tor = the less interesting it is to be a Tor user.
DNSCurve requires an out-of-band process for the exchange of key information. This is how it works around the handshake requirement. It's been a while since I read the spec though, so not sure what the current process is.
It's about mebibyte (2^20 bytes, unit symbol MiB), compared to megabyte (10^6 bytes).

For example a harddisk with a terabyte capacity does not have space for 2^30=1,099,511,627,776 bytes but about 10% less. Some disk management tools however were based on base 2 measurements, and the customer might cry foul because the tool reported only about 930 gigabytes, err gibibytes.
Not one of the downvoters, but the general mindset is that if you thank someone and emphasize their comment, you should've just upvoted because you didn't really add anything to the thread.
Well being a petroleum engineer does limit you to regions that have oil and gas (or I guess you could work at a refinery too), but I see your point that there are some engineers who are compensated similarly to software engineers. I am not sure what their hiring process is like though.

I do not have to recompile my C program every time I run it. Suggesting I'd want to include that is just silly.
It appears to be only for downloading/updating game servers; not for downloading/updating games.
For normal purposes, DNS translates domain names into IP addresses (e.g. youtube.com to one of Google’s IPs). However, you can also do it the other way around: a reverse DNS lookup where you ask the associated domain name of an IP address.

Google decided to let all their IPs return a reverse DNS lookup under the 1e100 domain name. It makes things simpler when you want to figure out who’s connecting to your servers, for example.
Amex is 0.5-1% cashback in Germany which is quite good.

SME Visa/MasterCards still give around 1% in airline miles.
>but it got no upvotes

I guess it's because of the title "Removing Trending from Facebook".
The title is OK on Facebook news site. But in here it sounds like a guide. Your second submission has a more clear title.
Tesla does have plans, they mentioned it many times, but they don't have the product.
There has to be more than that... because I don't know how any class action could climb over that bar.
Representatives, yes. Political parties before elections, not so much (which is the point of the bit I was quoting in the third paragraph). Especially not so much if people expect the representatives to be bound by those negotiations for the duration of their terms, rather than actually using judgment as their term unfolds.
Keyboard vs. screen height is crucial, and laptops have terrible ergonomics for extended periods. Get an external keyboard and mouse and a TALL laptop riser so you can look straight ahead at your screen but type with elbows at a right angle at your sides.

To sit on, consider a yoga ball? You can deflate it to transport between locations and adjust the height at each location to match the desk height by changing how much you inflate it.
I like this but I think we could go further in that we probably don't need 4 lanes for bikes and scooters. It would be super awesome to turn these center lanes into a space for food trucks or farmers markets, etc. It would be interesting to have just two lanes in each direction like this that formed a square or rectangle and see what happens.

Sure, I'm not arguing with that. I was just saying that the OP's criticism is a bit misguided. Yours is more reasonable.
But I think Amex is very rarely accepted -- I don't own one, but judging by the "we accept these cards" labels outside stores.
You are correct. Tor's speed has nothing to do with your local rig or network. Unless you're on an abacus.
And then the wheel is threatened when a actual root (ie: the plant) shows up.
Upboats for TLA+, ES, CQRS
Security culture, the Dropbox way
Really hope these talks fall through and nothing comes of it. Too many bad experiences with Microsoft buying something out, mismanaging it, and it goes down the drain. As much as I love GitHub, I won't be using a Microsoft-owned GitHub for any of my company's work.
sthttpd is a maintained fork.
I believe though that there is some work being done on actually directly interpreting the AST, in cases where going through all the work of generating LLVM IR and compiling that to native code is unnecessary, particularly when it is code that is only run once when a package is compiled the first time.
I don't see any requests to 1e100.net when loading Google sites like google.com or youtube.com. I see domains like gstatic.com and apis.google.com, but but not 1e100.net.
Is it possible to DDOS Visa network? Maybe someone figured out a way and they're negotiating about ransom right now.
Revolut allows you to get a prepaid Maestro that you can topup with your credit card. Exchange rates are quite good.
At first they will just inject random commits that don't change any files but inform you about the latest price offerings on One Drive and Azure hosting. Later on if you're still on the "free" plan some of the commits will modify your hosted software to show their ads at runtime. Have fun!
Servers need a name that's different from the product(s) they're serving.

For example, when I look up google.com and then reverse-lookup the IP address, I get sfo07s13-in-f14.1e100.net (you'd get something different depending where you are). The name sfo07s13-in-f14 could tell someone where to look if that machine is misbehaving.

If they'd named it sfo07s13-in-f14.google.com, then browsing to that URL sends google cookies. If it's some server from a recent acquisition that may not be up to Google's level of security, that's dangerous.

Even fairly small companies are well-advised to have a domain name for their brand and a separate domain name for their infrastructure.
What was the weapon technology during that time?
The question at this stage of the lawsuit isn't whether the investors actually did rely on the fraudulent claims, but whether each of the investors should have to show they did. The judge isn't saying that "well maybe it was a friend" contradicts their case.
Effective Altruism is not a single monolithic organization and I think you really go too far to assume all/most advocates think AI research is more important than feeding the homeless.

Personally, I wholeheartedly subscribe to effective altruism and also don't think AI research is a good use of my funds. All of my donations go to malaria relief.

Effective altruism is about principles, not particular causes.
That's how insurance works. Spread the damage to across many so no one gets hurt real bad.
It’s hard to coordinate large numbers of people without events. Organizing a party before Facebook was actually a lot of work compared to now, when all of the information you need is all in one place.
Well, Mozilla engineers wouldn't be the ones in charge of, or benefiting from, shutting down the Tor Browser fork, would they? So why would they need to include that kind of (incredibly distant, virtually pie in the sky) goal on their wiki page?
Unfortunately, probably won't ever be possible because of TLS encrypted connection to YouTube (unless you can install custom root CA on apple devices??)
Even without the physical infrastructure it might be cheaper to use credit cards. How much cash is lost in loose change after small transactions every year? I'd bet more than 2%
How does this matter (apart from semantics) if one pays the balance therefore doesn't accrue any interest. They are still 'getting paid', right?
You will often see the 1e100.net in reverse domain lookups, such as those produced by traceroute and ping.

Try a traceroute to google.com and you should see at least one if not several 1e100.net hops.
Chiming in from Germany. Our debit cards are branded "girocard", which is to my knowledge exclusive to Germany and mostly co-branded with either Maestro or V-Pay for international payments.
