But religious society isn't young, and we can already observe how it failed to prevent theft and murder. More importantly, if you don't believe in any god, religious and secular value systems must at the very least have a common root (which isn't a god).

How atheists behave can also be observed now, regardless of how young the "society": some commit crimes, some don't. Some follow strict value systems, some don't. Some are empathic, some aren't. Some are monsters, some are heroes. Some are flawed, common people.

Just like religious people ;)
Ask any crypo trader what they'd prefer:

1) The bull run of 2017, with the same GDAX platform, even with some technical hiccups.

2) The bear run of 2018, with an "improved" GDAX platform with many more "features".

It's a no-brainer to me.

You would have to define more formally what you mean by one piece of information and even then I think there are counterexamples to your argument.

For example, If I wanted to hire a doctor I would prefer to know if the applicant had medical degree over their IQ.
I'd say persistent relations between unrelated ideas, magical thinking and schizotypal behaviour. Also potentially, fixation on "new perspectives" which might not actually be optimal.

That said, I largely agree with your perspective as well: "The opposite is also true".
> A multi-leg option allows you to bet on the "magnitude" of a stock's price change, rather than the "direction".

Or simply define risk/reward (spreads and the like). That's especially useful if you want to sell premium and not risk getting killed.
Can you point to a single person making the point previously that even small amounts of uncertainty in the distribution of each variable in the Drake equation often implies a small or near-zero number of ETI even when the best mean point-estimate of the distribution for each variable, when multiplied together, predicts a large mean number of ETIs?

As a side note, Microsoft login echo system sucks big time in the context of office. You have no idea which URL to use to login to office 365. Between login/logout/timeout/other office apps/personal accounts/business accounts/forgot password workflows browser redirects to various URLs at least a dozen times. And you keep seeing new URLs I am wondering how less tech savvy people are coping with their authentication workflow.

Depending on how you are authenticating you will see URLs with various words in them.

loginlive
office.com
outlook.office.com
office365
outlook.com
account.live
products.office.com
login.microsoftonline.com

and this list goes on and on... I am wondering if they made an announcement that they are fixing their messy authentication workflow instead spending resources in rewriting office in JavaScript, that would have gotten this much attention on hacker news.

There's torrent via I2P, which provides a different anonymity-vs-performance tradeoff compared to normal BitTorrent.

I would say that BitTorrent just fits is particular design constraints fairly well, so I don't see anything replacing it without changing the use case patterns.

There is no shortage of new ideas for video encoding. The post is welcoming both new ideas and encouraging more new ideas rather than being any kind of summary of current tech.
I have more nuanced takes on lodash too but I'm putting them in another reply to separate them from the big picture stuff I already mentioned.

Lodash also differs from the standard lib's implementation, notably it's too permissive. Take this example:

const uhoh = null

_.forEach(uhoh, () => {})

uhoh.forEach(() => {})

lodash's forEach has no problem running on a falsey value (it gives you back the value) whereas standard lib leads you to a TypeError.

Two thoughts here. The standard lib forces the programmer to think more about types, which is a good thing. Second is that lodash's more loosey goosey approach acts as vendor lock-in. In two years, when there's 60 lines and 3 files of separation btwn uhoh's assignment and the _.forEach invocation, you won't know whether it's expected to be null or not. So you won't know if you should replace the code with

uhoh.forEach(...)

or

(uhoh || []).forEach(...)
The issue with using Tethers to pump up the price is that it implies there's billions of U.S. dollars backing up that Tether. If there isn't billions of USD to be found then... what?

The USD pumping up the stock market is undeniably there, but if the Tether pumping up BTC isn't real (real being defined by the 1 USDT = 1 USD), then the price is essentially being pumped up by nothing.
Most Popular Development Posts of the Week (13 June 2018)
Hardware implementations of codecs can be made that perform encode at low power if a certain level of quality/efficiency can be given up.

This is already the case for AVC/HEVC on mobile devices where storage and power considerations overwhelm the possible quality and coding efficiency advances that could be available from a highly-intensive, highly-tunable CPU-based encode.

In comparison, if you look at digital cinema, video is dumped as raw, unencoded pixels onto high-speed, high-power SSDs without any compression; this way, the original image can be manipulated losslessly before going through an intensive encode process for an optimal quality/space balance for end-user media delivery.

Check Quaddicted[1] for some singleplayer maps. The most common engine by far is Quakespasm[2] which keeps the original style but fixes bugs, reintroduces some features from the software renderer that were lost in the original OpenGL version (fullbrights, lightmaps that go above 100%, non-power-of-two textures, etc) and removes and raises some hardcoded limits. You probably also want QuakeInjector[3], which is a "quake mod installer" that handles dependencies. You may also want MiniQL[4] (made by me) as a more straightforward and minimalistic launcher (you can also launch QuakeInjector from MiniQL if it is installed in the same directory).

This is all you need for playing maps and mods. For making maps (the most common type of mod) you'll also need a map editor - currently the most common seems to be Tenchbroom[5], but it is far from the only option and a lot of people use other editors, such as BSP[6], QuArK[7], GtkRadiant[8] and some people even use either the original Worldcraft 1.3 (i think) or a modded Hammer (from Valve) to make maps. I think some also use J.A.C.K.[9], which is basically a Hammer clone, although i think it is abandoned now.

The map editor isn't enough, you also need the command line tools to "compile" the map (this is how the Quake engine can support multiple and different editors: by decoupling the tools from the engine and the individual types of tools from each other - which to me is one of the best ways to architect and engine and its tools, but sadly most popular engines have forgotten it). There are several variations, depending on the features you want. But i think these days most people are using ericw's tools[10] since they support some advanced features from modified engines (like the BSP2 format for larger maps and colored lightmaps).

Beyond mapping, if you want to delve in QuakeC (the game's scripting language) you need the original QuakeC source code[11] and a QuakeC compiler - while you can probably use the original QCC, i've seen FTEQCC[12] from the FTE engine to be mentioned way more often. Some tutorials can be found here [13] (the Inside3D site which was a sort of 'nexus' for QuakeC modders was shut down some time ago and while the community create InsideQC[14] it looks like not everything survived the transition).

I prefer transdermal testosterone. I think that daily dosing better emulates the natural rhythm. Also, I don't want to deal with injections and/or physician visits. My favorite is Androgel. Testim and generics suck, because they leave a sticky film. Custom compounded creams are also good, and they generally cost less. I apply to my lower legs, so I can hug women and children without fear of poisoning them.

> I feel this whole theory misses some key elements of our ancestors. First the idea that each male was able to reproduce at the same rate or had the same opportunity to breed as each other;

The article is talking about Y chromosomes, not the rate of successful breeding of each male. In patrilineal clans, all males share the same Y chromosome since they are all related. It doesn't matter which males within the clan breed when you are analyzing Y chromosomes.

As long as a single male within the clan breeds, the Y chromosome will be passed on.

The question is why many Y chromosomes disappeared from the gene pool. Why the diversity in Y chromosomes declined so drastically.

> The alpha male will do the overwhelming majority of the breading for X number of years until displaced, i.e. dies of natural causes or is violently displaced.

Once again, that doesn't matter in Y chromosomal diversity analysis. It doesn't matter whether you or your brother was "alpha". It doesn't matter which one of you fathered most of the descendents since both you and your brother carry the same Y chromosome.

The question is, if you were living thousands of years ago, why you, your brother, your paternal related male cousins, etc didn't breed. IE, why your clan's Y chromosomal legacy didn't make it while your mother, sister, female cousin's, etc mDNA ( mitochondrial DNA ) did make it. Why did your female genetic legacy make it while your male genetic legacy did not?

It's pretty clear that warfare played a role. There is no disease that wipes out only the males and none that wipes out 100% of the male population. Even if disease wiped out 99% of the males in your clan, the 1% remaining can breed with all the females and replenish the clan and your Y chromosome would live on.
I used to live with someone who started a fashion B2B in London. To get her visa she had to sell her £250,000 (equivalent) flat in Korea to use as capital for the business. One thing the article does not mention is how much capital you need to invest in the UK to get this visa. It is a lot higher than you think. Anyway, her company had been up and running for 3 years and doing well when her visa renewal came up. The crazy thing was that a renewal required a new capital cash injection into the business. Now, who keeps spare capital lying around when you want to make your business a success? You usually put everything you have into the business. She had to hire a good lawyer and produce kilograms of documentation in extreme detail to get her renewal. Very stressful for her and detracted from her business. I think it's reasonable to expect to hand over company accounts, bank statements and such to prove that it is a proper business but they go way too far. It is far too arduous and stressful. The stress is the main part. You never know if your paperwork is going to land on a grumpy persons Monday morning desk.

Say you print $100M USDT and do this, and the market moves up 10%, and you get lucky enough to find an OTC buyer willing to give you the market price. You rake in 110M for printing 100M. This is still a money printing business model, the market manipulation is just icing on the cake.
You are implying that conspiracy theorists are unintelligent. Though it is a very tempting assumption :) I don't know if it's fully warranted. From my experience, ignorance is more essential to conspiracy theory thinking. People lack the will and/or time to learn all they need to make sense of the world, so they fall prey to overly simple, manipulative stories. And furthermore, it is known that more intelligent people tend to be more naive... I'm not saying you're fully wrong, lack of intelligence can surely help, but I think on the whole it's more complicated than just a lack of intelligence.

Not really. `_.map` for example works on Objects, and property access is very nice.

vs

`Object.values(object).map(i => i.myProperty ? i.myProperty.mySubProperty : undefined)`

I'm not as sure. The 2% fee is a management fee. There's no performance fee. Stock index funds have low management fees because stocks are very liquid and they have people who do the trade executions for them to not move the market very much. Plus, you get lots of investors so you can charge a lower fee and still cover your fixed costs. Given all that, a 2% fee does not seem like it's fleecing investors, but it does seem possible someone else could do it for less.

Yes. The fundamental issue they don't seem to address is that strongly positive correlation between Bitcoin prices and Tether issuance is to be expected even if there is no manipulation, or, at most, manipulation from unrelated 3rd parties that are actually pumping real dollars into the market via Tether. Tether could indeed hide the manipulation, but there still doesn't seem to be a smoking gun.

In addition, a willful design for manipulation of the whole cryptocurrency market would strongly motivate Bitfinex to hide or manipulate public Tether data precisely to make such a link impossible to prove.
The same is true for Google and Apple, who make hardware, the operating system running on the hardware, the software running on the operating system, and the app store on which the software is sold. They compete directly with the software makers on their platform. (And the market concentration in the mobile OS space is even higher than with ISPs. There is basically no choice left but iOS and Android.) Yet, the results in the mobile space have not been "catastrophic."

Its the best way. What happens is that you lose money. This is the best way to enjoy your privilege in society, capital loss deductions aren't bad.

Better yet, if you want to REALLY amplify your socioeconomic privilege, you can turn capital losses into Net Operating Losses and deduct the entire thing as an income expense. Do this by forming an LLC and sending a Section 475 election to the IRS before April. This is specific for traders doing short term strategies in the equity and equity options market.

You will then lose your money experimenting with options and the government will pay you back, from taxes you sent them in prior years, current and future years.

Bittorrent is almost two eras here, regular torrent files and magnet links with their associated DHT. Splitting off the metadata to a giant DHT, is a huge (albeit backwards compatible) change.

I think that shows why Bittorrent might be here to stay for a while, it's willing to make pretty deep changes to stay with the times.

Interesting & hilarious idea. Would love to give it a try with my students. It seems like an easy & fun way to start a CS class! Just curious, did you test it out with any educators and what is the overall response like? We tried a few games (e.g. code.org, robot turtles) in class but students got bored pretty quickly as they were mainly directional movements. This seems more dynamic and engaging. Love to hear more on how it is implemented in classrooms :)

The Drake equation is the epitome of garbage in garbage out. Trying to draw a line using a single data point.

There was recent news from NASA about the discovery of organic molecules on Mars and the possibility of life there at some point in the past. Discovery that life once existed on Mars would blow up the assumptions in the Drake equation.

As for the Fermi paradox I'm still of the opinion that its solution is simple but depressing: Interstellar travel is so difficult that by the time you're capable of it you don't need it anymore, and even when you're capable of it you still don't get very far outside of your stellar neighborhood. Unlimited power systems, reactionless drives, and FTL travel (or even high-c travel) are depressingly impossible. And then the cold hand of entropy and the aggregate chance of disaster make it extremely dangerous to even attempt. Basically without Sci-Fi propulsion/power you end up traveling at an interstellar snail's pace, and the longer the trip the more likely it is that a random meteorite smashes through your vessel, or you simply run out of spare parts and materials to make them, and the amount of fuel you need to just keep the lights on becomes enormous.

If you can build a starship that can travel between solar systems with our current understanding of physics, then you can build orbital colonies for basically unlimited living space much much easier. For one, they can be powered by solar cells instead of needing to carry fuel. It's not like we are going to run out of raw materials either. Even restricting yourself to the belt the amount of material available would last basically indefinitely. Worst case you can start breaking up moons.

So even in a universe full of life everybody is alone. Especially if you think about how genetic algorithms tend to get hung up on local maxima, so lots of planets waste millions of years with dumb dinosaurs with no space program or radio telescopes.

I don't see how that's a problem? Perhaps if you were evaluating Manchester as a location, but not when evaluating London.

Realistically, no one's going to commute from Manchester to London. If you have to meet people in Manchester, that's going to be an issue wherever you set up.
Thank you for stating better definitions. From my point of view, Google solves both issues so far. Allowing you to turn off history solves the privacy issues and there isn't any known technical breach so far, which leads me to think they correctly handle the security issue.
