This is a great article on two standpoints - it provides important high-level "abstract" advice to new founders without sounding like Sam Altman (more on that later). Secondly, it criticizes the general human tendency to look for examples of success, read biographies, watch interviews and think mimic those traits in themselves thinking that they've won the ticket to silicon valley lottery. I'd like to quote Richard Feynman, "... for nature cannot be fooled." and the world is an insanely complex place with a number of external factors that founders have no control over. Doesn't mean we should all give up on starting a company, but it should be humbling to learn this and internalize it.

Every single advice that Sam Altman gives has survivorship bias written all over it. I have never learned anything remotely useful from his vague generic articles and speeches. I'd rather watch Drew Hudson's startup pitch or read about Chad Rigetti and his quantum computer venture. Or maybe learn how Instacart managed to photograph every single grocery store item by literally going to the store and buying everything. Sam Altman's interviews are fantastic and I thank him for that but I think he should stop marketing himself as a startup guru of some kind. Each situation is unique and my personal opinion is that particular qualities such as leadership, convincing abilities, and charisma cannot be learned. It can only surface as a result of how one thinks and acts. This is why leadership courses are bullshit.

There is a huge difference - the duty to mitigate losses.

A landlord can re-let the space to another tenant, and start earning revenue again.

The money loaned however is gone until it is repaid. The total loss of a loan is the principal remaining unpaid at time of default, since you have permanently parted ways with the money once you transfer the funds to the borrower.

A lease on the other-hand hasn't deprived you of anything. You've still got the asset that can be released.

The losses in this instance are limited to the period of time the premised was vacant and unpaid for, as well as associated other costs such as an amount of any incentives provided as a proportionate to the length of the lease term remaining, legal costs, reletting costs, advertising and renovation costs etc.

You can't simply sue them for the entire value of the lease - especially if someone else moves into it and starts paying rent, you'd be double dipping.

I have bad allergies and still have my tonsils. The pollen season in the US can be very different than other places especially in the South. For me it also came with age and my allergies started in my 20s.

I’d bet your father is not used to the pollen in his region. Doubt it because of his tonsils.
Fair call, and good distinction to draw.

You probably know this, but note that removal doesn't necessarily end the stones.

Had mine removed as a kid. Then had a peritonsular abcess around age 20. Then had tonsil stones for a few years.

After a change in diet (no wheat, little packaged food) they stopped. Can't be sure of the exact cause.

Taking an analogy you made, if my leg fell off, there are quite literally thousands (or tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands) of places in the US that could legitimately help you.

The mental healthcare landscape is more like "there are thousands, but only a few you mesh with after expending a lot of effort to find them can probably, maybe help". Wtf.
HN is predisposed to hate R because everyone here is coming from a "real" programming context.

There is that. Matlab has the same problem.

One problem with "real programming languages" is that programmers who grew up with C don't see any need for built-in multidimensional arrays. This is one reason FORTRAN is still around, and why array work is straightforward in Matlab and R.

This is very cool, solving some issues I no doubt many people have when writing tests against a (fast-)moving target. I'll definitely give it a try in my next project.

I looked through the codebase, and noticed that this uses a custom data format to persist HTTP requests and responses in local storage. I'm not sure if it's technically possible in all circumstances, but I think it might be valuable to have requests and responses be stored as HAR 1.2 [1] when possible, so that the trace can be used by other tools [2] to aid in debugging, verifying and analyzing behaviour as well as perhaps automated creation of load/performance tests.

Consumer culture was created really at the dawn of the 20th century. The elites realized that in order to keep 'growth' going they had to get people to continuously 'buy stuff'. Hence consumer culture has been systematically promoted since then.

I once visited a friend in London, his family had a really nice property, worth millions for sure. And then in this kitchen some really funny ancient oven and toaster stuff. It still worked fine. So why replace it? North Americans just keeping buying new, we're the epiphany of that culture.

But at some point in your career you might connect the dots and realize you need people to 'buy buy buy' in order for your sales to remain healthy and for you to keep your job so you can support your family etc. etc..

It's a weird vicious/virtuous circle and I don't thin UBI etc. will solve it. There are innumerable actual innovations and advancements that come out of the rat race :).

This is really stupid. Language decisions coming from a background native to them are always superior. This isn't a matter of "all opinions are equal". They never are. R is horrendous, plain and simple.
> Yes there might be a corellation between how good you do on an IQ test and how “smart” you are but I think over and over again your background/upbringing had been show to influence that more than your “smartness”.

Do you maybe mean that background influences "smartness" more than genetics? Because as written you're just saying smartness is more influenced by background than by smartness, which doesn't exactly make sense.

> The technology and the tools we have today enable us to do things that were unconcievable 50 years ago.

That is true, but doesn't say anything about "thinking in a different way".

> The things that enables us are tools and our use of tools.

I'm not even sure what that's supposed to say. Yes, tool usage is are very important. As is thinking, which kind of determines what tools we come up with, in what directions we explore, and how we use those tools.

> I would argue that today we are smarter than we’ve ever been and we are getting smarter each day by using more and more powerful tools.

Hmm. You say "more powerful tools" like someone who doesn't know the concept of hitting a target would talk of a "faster arrow".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohcwksrvDOg

Would you say someone who built their own 8bit computer (or something) that they use as word processor (or something) is less smart than someone who is handed a mobile device they understand nothing about, where they just follow prompts on screen, "adapt" to the updates that get pushed on them, and "hope" that the next thing, will address some pain points instead of adding some more, along with "must-have" features?

I'd actually argue we're moving into a sort of information dark age. And we're generally not even intelligent enough to understand half of the actually very intelligent people who wrote about these things since the dawn of industrialization were saying. Some of them pointed out how quantity gets confused with quality, bigness with greatness, numbers or force with being right -- and here we are, saying "but OF COURSE we're smarter, we now are each carrying around a bunch of mobile computers that would have filled several city blocks 50 years ago". Pathetic gimmicks, while a steely cocoon of learned and enforced helplessness closes around people.

As I said, technology says nothing about the dimension of thinking, while thinking has a lot of influence on our invention and uses of technology. A fast car you drive into the mud is less useful than a slower car you use well. There is no really meaningful difference between denying/censoring/ignoring blurry black and white photographs of dead soldiers and civilians, and doing that with high resolution color video, and so on.

Again they're loans not lease obligations - different.

You can sublease or assign your obligations in a lease, typically you can't assign a loan in the same way.

Edit:

To clarify, when the average household talks about their family debt, they don't include the future lease payments that they're liable to pay over the remaining term of their family home's lease in their calculation - that is (rightfully) an expense, not a liability.

They do think about their mortgage though in terms of net worth and debt position.

Clearly, a tax on arable land would devalue it. But that doesn't mean it wouldn't also be reflected in food prices - and that is the absolute worst thing you can tax.

As for income taxes, they don't really tax creativity and human effort, except if you think of the world as a perfect meritocratic utopia where everyone has infinite positive liberties. But in that case, you wouldn't really need to tax anybody.

The revenue of an individual is generally strongly dependent on the social infrastructure they use to generate it. The same person, transplanted into another area of the world with less functional social institutions will generate orders of magnitude less money. For example, an American or British medic moving to the peaceful and English speaking country of Ghana: same creativity and effort, 5-10x less revenue, purchasing parity adjusted. It's only natural then for him to pay for his access to the rich society, thus enabling the public investments that allow such a rich society to exist in the fist place.

I think both of the latter approaches make sense in the context of their era. With classical train / subway-style approaches, it made sense to have a bigger upfront cost, so that you could have fewer (but larger) trains. On the other hand, with today's relatively reliable small-scale electric vehicles and automated driving, I can certainly see lots of smaller pods being perfectly viable.

That said, I don't have any particular insight into the field itself; however I do have a respect for Musk's ability to rephrase the problem just slightly (e.g. landing boosters to save costs) and to turn the whole economics of the situation on its head.
Sure, but the most important thing here is sticking it to equifax one way or another. They've yet to pay in any meaningful way for their fiasco (put nicely and shit).

How is she exposed to three languages?
It's not WTF at all once you actually understand why it works that way and the benefits it provides. Subsetting in R allows for any index number to be retrieved, and if there is no value, it returns an empty value (that's what "numeric(0)" is: an empty numeric value). It's the same if you tried to access a[0] or a[90000] (in an array that doesn't have 90000 elements). This makes it easier to select multiple elements at the same time or select a range of elements; if you try to access one that doesn't exist, it just returns an empty value rather than erroring.

You can also access values by negative indexes, which have another special purpose in R that make it easier to quickly manipulate/analyze the data in the array, rather than causing an error.

It's just like how SQL won't throw an error if you try to do a SELECT...WHERE ID=non_existant_value, instead it will just not return any rows (or return NULL, depending on the exact query). But you wouldn't call SQL bad, you would just acknowledge that it serves different purposes and acts differently than something like Java or C.

Your comment is a great example of what the parent commenter was talking about: experienced "programmers" tend to dislike R simply because they are unfamiliar with it, and it therefor does things that they do not expect. But again, that doesn't mean the language is bad, it just means the users should probably become more familiar with their tools rather than trying to use a wrench to bang on a nail.
Doesn't matter, both of them are offered by the OS installer and are easy to set up.

Have you never been to an ATM that has run out of cash? You can't make a run on the banks any more. They'll just tell you, sorry, they've run out of cash. You'll still be able to pay your bills and taxes using legal tender, though (bank dollars).

I've already told you the fact that 95% of money doesn't exist outside of the private banking system. What kind of regulation do you think is stopping everyone from wanting to get paper money for their entire life savings?

For those who don't immediately see this, just think for a moment how much of your income ever leaves the banking system. Do you get paid in paper money? Pay your rent in paper money? Did you buy your car with paper money? The answer to these questions for everyone is increasingly no.
It makes sense for multi-node machines, much like we do some tasks mostly on CPUs and others on GPUs within a single node. A processor like this makes much more sense on desktops and general-purpose servers, as most of the time my Xeon cores are doing things an Atom would be perfectly capable of doing at a fraction of the power consumed. This translates into more heat and more cooling. If you consider a Xeon Phi uses 300 Watts for 256 threads, this translates roughly to 1.2 W per thread, which is well within what I would expect from a very puny Atom core. Being able to power down most of my computer while, say, I write this, would be a very nice feature.

A real IQ test (i.e., WAIS-IV or similar) is a lot more than just a few short problems, it takes several hours and is done one on one with a trained psychologist.

Well, then it looks like our definitions of a product differ.

However, I believe this shows how the "you're the product" phrase diverts attention - now you're talking about ads in general, but that's not what people rally against. The problem is about collecting and selling our personal data without our agreement and knowledge, not about showing you some random popup. The latter, as you mentioned, can be easily blocked and won't cost you more than a few seconds of your attention, but loss of control over your data may have far more serious effects (e.g. if that data ends up in insurance companies, who suddenly decide that your data profile matches some high risk group of people).
