>If "will power" was a strongly inherited trait, and the theory is that will power leads to increase household income in adult life, then this controlling would remove most of the signal.

If some underlying willpower was the cause for the behaviour and willpower would lead to better outcomes, then there would be differentation between children within the same income bracket who score different on this test, right? But that is not the case:

This new paper found that among kids whose mothers had a college degree, those who waited for a second marshmallow did no better in the long run—in terms of standardized test scores and mothers’ reports of their children’s behavior—than those who dug right in.

The real value of a social network is in the people using it - whether they use a third-party client doesn’t change anything in this regard. If anything, having third-parties making free/cheap clients for you is actually a bonus.
I mean, if you're gunna use C++ libraries, is there a reason not to just make the whole app in C++ (like with Qt/QML)? Seems adding a new language/toolchain to the mix is a recipe for headaches.

That's a genuine question :) I don't do any app development so maybe I'm missing something - is Qt not sufficient? It seems to run on everything as-is
Data as Labor; Attention as Consumption
Hey, Heydenberk—

I _am_ curious here. Can you enlighten me as to your thinking?
Maybe one that doesn't even need electrical power.
This is more of a "Can you fake being a robot?" test.
But that's the point: thinking alone is no longer sufficient; trust is necessary. How do you know evolution is true (if you haven't yourself done experiments)? Things like Price's equation alone aren't enough, because you have no idea whether they model reality well. And how do you know that Fermat's last theorem is a theorem? Have you checked the proof?

The answer is that you trust experts. This is not "reason" but a certain model of society which you have, that you (and I) believe to be true, but it is not one that is necessarily true in every imaginable society. Some people believe that the society we live in is not as you or I imagine it to be, but an altogether different one.

It may be the case that their model of (a conspiratorial) society is inconsistent with certain definitive observations we can make (e.g., the state of technology), but even this claim is one that is not easy for non-experts to verify, and you must still trust the experts who tell you this is the case. It is not reason that leads you (at least these days) to believe in science, but faith. I am not claiming that this faith is contentually similar to religious faith, but it is epistemologically similar, i.e. it is justified by similar personal experiences that has little to do with "reason."
You are correct that on core routers, the brunt of the work is done in ASICs, and CPU is a slower path.

People should know that Cisco takes this discrete fact and then extends and over-hypes it. The differentials between ASICs and CPU are not to the extent that Cisco make it out to be, where it seems like CPU is not even an option at all on most of the network. Also, Cisco has an overbroad notion of how necessary their particular routers and switches are in your network, when in many places in the network, off-the-shelf hardware, CPUs and software would do fine (for much cheaper).

For the past few years, people have been developing software solutions like quagga, BIRD, XORP and OpenBGPD/OpenOSPFD. They have seen some heavy production use ( http://www.openbgpd.org/users.html ). OpenBGPD even teased out problems in Cisco routers - some standards-compliant packets OpenBGPD sent out would crash Cisco routers.

People appreciate the openness, the flexibility and the extensibility and the price of these solutions.

ASICs are faster than CPU in the core of the core, but don't let that fact get you ensnared in Cisco marketing hype and FUD. People are paying a lot of money to Cisco on the low and medium end for equipment that could be replaced much cheaper with off-the-shelf hardware and free and open software.
Yes, another dealership offered me $7500. CarMax was by far the low ball offer.
I gave up after a couple of times, 30 seconds is too little time for a conversation. On average, there weren’t more than 3–4 messages exchanged in my chats. If there had been a “I’m not sure“ button, I always would have clicked that, since I wasn’t able to collect enough evidence.

In my experience, you are quite right.

Most HR departments will only care about latest set of projects and education, barely giving any value to side projects.

Yes, there are those that care about side projects, passion and such, but most of them tend to be startups and sometimes not with the desired set of benefits or requiring relocation.

I was about to say something similar. Obviously the language is a little strong for the consumers of these products. But if we take an honest look at the tremendous amount of unnecessary cruelty endemic to the dairy industry, I think barbaric is one of the kinder words that springs to mind.
Yes, and historically America has been unique amongst Western countries in that America has embraced immigration.

That embrace of immigration is perhaps the main reason the US has had a strong economy. Immigrants fuel the US university system, the strongest in the world, and the tech economy, which feed off each other. And accepting immigrants has led to a cosmopolitan feel in the US, which makes high-skilled immigrants want to come here. That is a big reason why New York is a finance capital.

The United States is now destroying its unique brainpower advantage by destroying immigration (basically in pursuit of political power by one party). It's a disaster for the US. But the smart immigrants will now go to other countries for university and start companies in other countries. It's a huge opportunity for other countries.

Well not quite, we have euros but prices are different in every country. For example look at the prices of electronic products, for example Apple, in every country there is a different price because of different taxations and other reasons, this is also a problem because you can buy from Europe countries where the prices are lower and thus pay less taxes legally.
Traffic going through mainframes or Apple devices surely isn't through drivers written in C.

Mainframes, because they have saner systems programming languages than C.

Apple devices, because part of the network stack requires their Embedded C++ dialect.
I would argue that the "brunt" is borne by the thing with intelligence i.e the control plane.

The control plane which is some general purpose CPU running Linux/VxWorks(Cisco)/FreeBSD(Juniper)is what builds the FIB and actually populates those ASICs in the forwarding plane. The ASICs are basically just lookup tables that rely on data pushed to them by the control plane. In other words they rely on computation/preprocessing done elsewhere.
I think that's in large part because Germany had the Agenda 2010 which heavily cut welfare and hit many people super hard. The common narrative is that it's because of those sacrifices the German economy is in a better position than most other European countries. On top of that in the very least the perception is that the lower classes didn't benefit from that at all. So I understand that there is a lot of "I did my part and sucked it up while others didn't and now I am supposed to suffer again to help people who failed to do the right thing in the first place."

Not saying that that's the correct attitude, just offering a explanation.
The scoring mechanism, where you lose a point if the opponent correctly guesses that you are human, makes me suspect that is actually a Prisoner's Dilemma simulation disguised as a Turing Test.
>Philanthropy

I've found the best way for me to keep a steady-state of contentedness, sprinkled with joy almost every day, is to truly love my fellow man. I wouldn't consider that exactly philanthropy though, and philanthropy only helps when one has a basis of love for everyone (even for people who openly do 'wrong', or who go against your personal values). Along with that, this love must be freely given to individuals, and not just felt when contemplating mankind generally (it's easy to love mankind, but it's not so easy to love that guy over there).

It's hard work to find that kind of love for everyone and it needs constant maintenance, but once you know how to maintain it, it changes everything. Forgiveness is easier, empathy is automatic, and everyone else's joy and accomplishments become yours. It also gives a sense of freedom, which I suspect comes from not being boxed-in in one body and one sense of self because you have the opportunity to feel things through others, and to connect to others simply by passing them by on the street and noticing that, yes, you love that one too.

There are a few other things as well, though love for men is the biggest. These are: appreciation of beauty in all things, appreciation of beauty in nature (especially contemplating how dynamic nature is), and a creative outlet that is personal.

This really looks like Bitcoin Cash propaganda, and really, not a very efficient way to do messaging at all.

If you're interested in more practical approaches to do this instead of just shoving messages into a blockchain, Twister [1] does decentralized microblogging (a la Twitter) with e2e encryption for direct messages. Instead of using its "blockchain" to store every message, a Bitcoin-like protocol is used for authentication and a DHT network is used for the messages themselves. If the push came to shove, it'd be far easier to implement scaling or message pruning with this approach, while keeping the auth layer relatively limber. There's also Bitmessage [2] which uses a different approach and aims to hide metadata as well.

Well, they also rely on averages, and the resulting recommendations tend to be (for me) closer to "we're certain these won't offend you." That is there's little deviation.

Yes, that works for most people. But if you're seeking new, exciting and different then those recommendations come off as dull and lifeless.
Two sentences which vaguely say "quantum computers."

Don't presume anyone writing PHP is a trainwreck. With PHP7+ you can write modern applications that are perfectly secure, as much as anything you'd write with any other scripting language.
Your point makes perfect sense for a teen with an unexpected pregnancy. This lady is 44 with 6 kids. 5 of the children are aged 2-11 years. In other words she just started pumping out babies like it was her job at age 33. She made some poor choices is the optimistic interpretation of this. It's also possible that some point she began to believe that having more kids resulted in proportionally more money from the state and charities. After all when it comes to children we have a habit of waving away this with 'oh, she made some mistakes.. but her kids shouldn't have to pay for that!'

This made me chuckle. Japan is the most unproductive Asian market of current times, because instead of working to get work done (ie being productive) they work to pretend to get work done. It's somewhat ironic that their culture of faking hard work, is actually killing people from overwork. I'm struggling to believe it.
I hear this a lot about Go, but doesn't the webserver handle concurrency for you in most cases? I don't do a whole lot of explicit threading work when I write webservers in Java for example. Or is there something I'm missing that you use the Go primitives for in these cases?

I hate accountants...I really do. I've known more than a few people personally scammed by their own accountants. In one case the accountant at a friend's workplace was taking taxes off their cheques to a year but not sending the money to the government, then took the money and disappeared to China. The owner of the business and the employees ended up to having to pay. The accountant, as far as I know, I haven't heard otherwise, just got away with it.

The Eurozone predicament is complicated. There are merits and demerits to centralisation. We should all be wary of extrapolating problems with one large system to all large systems.

This is a convoluted way of refusing to answer my final point, perhaps you have no answer. But it nicely serves to prove my other points, so I can't be too annoyed about it.

Viz. the entire EU project is based on a totalitarian ideology that runs like this:

"Most people are stupid, base and racist. Giving them a choice about what happens is therefore very bad. The best social outcomes arise from massive centralisation of power in unchecked bureaucracies."

You are a prime example of this - you just asserted that most people in the UK are racist because they were concerned about the volume of immigration, although the UK is in fact the most ethnically diverse nation in Europe. You have no evidence to support such an astounding generalisation, and race-driven crime is actually very rare there. I mean you'd get a lot further arguing that most Americans are racist, even though that would be an absurd statement too. Polish isn't even a race, Polish people are white!

The reason it's impossible to disentangle loss of sovereignty from the question of who you're losing it to, is because centralisation of power inevitably corrupts people, and therefore who exactly benefits from such a loss is in many ways irrelevant. They'll do things that are at best a good fit for only one section of the population they control, and at worst are just a bad idea for everyone, but the nature of centralised power is that people can do a lot of damage in a short amount of time, and they're less willing to let go of it at the end.

Notice how even the EU's own institutions and biggest supporters are currently up in arms about the Selmayr affair. But who could be surprised, really? It's exactly the behaviour you'd expect to see.
That's like saying that people are eating bananas and oranges and apples because there is a huge PR campaign to push them, and that this is destroying the chances for less popular fruits.

Sure, there is that, but let's not kid ourselves, those fruit are popular because they are actually preferred by a vast majority.

* Above is true, if and only if:

- Willpower is non-socially inherited

- Willpower is proportionally developed (to their final amount) in children at the time of testing

I would assume the hypothesis of the researchers was that children were more tabula rasa at the age tested, and therefore controlling for variables wouldn't be circular.
I think this is an excellent point (and idea).
This seems like an important point:

"The differences between the experiments could also be behind the difference in size of correlation. Each study used different measures of achievement. The marshmallow test in the replication had a maximum wait of only 7 minutes, compared to 15 to 20 minutes in the original (although most of the predictive power in the new study was found to be in the first 20 seconds). The replication created categories for time waited (e.g. 0 to 20 seconds, 20 seconds to 2 minutes, and so on), rather than using time as a continuous variable. It also focused on children with parents who did not have a college education – too many of the children with college-educated parents waited the full seven minutes. The original study drew its sample from the Stanford community."
> but isn't (except in the Everett version)

Not even in the Everett version. When we make a measurement to discover the large-scale patterns, we have to invoke the Born Rule and see just one outcome of the quantum wave. The other worlds of the Everett Interpretation are simply 'magical'.

I can't find any earlier information online (well, not with a quick look anyway) but the following shows an upward trend, year-on-year, in tourist and revenue from 2000 to 2018, and arrivals from 2008.

https://tradingeconomics.com/greece/tourist-arrivals

Intuitively also, I don't get the feeling that tourism has been hurt by the Euro and by higher prices. And, anecdotally, business owners are supposed to prefer higher-earners as visitors, to backpackers and students etc (regardless of whether that makes business sense or not).

> the EU could simply force banks to let you withdraw at market rates at any ATM

Even for liquid assets with centralized trading reporting, e.g. stocks listed on the NYSE, determining the "market" price is an academic pursuit. (The last traded price for any size? A similar size? The bid or ask? Immediate-execution price or sliced-up execution price? Et cetera.)

For foreign exchange, where trades aren't necessarily reported and occur, de-centralised, at a myriad of international venues and where infrequently-traded currency pairs have a habit of jerking around, such a regulation would be quite tedious to comply with.
I love Redis, and antirez is a genius. The simple solution is usually the most secure: Redis should just bind to localhost by default, unless it's specifically told to bind to other interfaces.
> A single songwriter can specialize in literally the snare-drum.

I was an amateur level producer in high school. I had hundred of snare-drum samples, not to mention a lot of way to influence the sound of a particular one. Picking a good snare-drum is very important, it can totally change the character of the song.

All of modern music producing it's like that, it's an extremely efficient market, it's really really hard to make "the sound of 2019", and this is why there are such few successful producers.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/22/arts/music/diary-of-a-son...

To put it in software engineer terms, saying that "all successful modern music is computer made, recipe driven, there is no originality" it's like saying "all successful modern sites are made exactly the same, you just pick a database, a web frontend, ads to sell, a few programmers, there is no originality"

Literally they are the generation who fostered war in Europe.

People who remember what life was like 83 years ago are in their 90s now. That means they'd have been children when the war was happening. They didn't foster war. Their parents and grandparents did, and even then only under great duress. The majority of ordinary people didn't want another war.
Be very careful about attempts to take revenge.

Telling the relevant state authorities that the company broke the law is fine. Getting a lawyer and suing the company for your lost wages is fine. But shaming the company or the CEO publicly could land you in a world of legal trouble.

On top of that, publicly shaming your previous employer could make you less attractive as a job candidate. A lot of companies would not want to hire somebody who does that, because they think that person might do it to them -- and they might think that way even if they believe you are telling the truth and they have no plans to screw you over.
Dokku is _preeeeeetty_ good but you kind of end up messing around on the server eventually to get things working, or fix things, etc.

If you're into that, or have CPU/RAM requirements that would be prohibitively expensive on Heroku then give it a try (I run it for a couple things on a cheap but powerful dedicated machine). If you're just doing something simple it's probably not worth it, just get a hobby dyno and go that route.
