I understood rationality here is used to describe the kind of participating in the discussion which is dedicated to establishing objective truth.
Rationalizing, on the other hand, is something completely different even if it makes sense from the point of view of your interest.
An example: a businessman may have a stake in the project and so publicly state to the effect he believes the project will succeed. The project actually is failing but he is to gain from extending the perception of success. He may be rationally taking care for his financials but to the public, he is dishonest, rationalizing and being objectively irrational given the clear facts that oppose his public statements.
You know what I mean: open to all authenticated users, authentication being cleared at the app level. Only having to create an account for full access to all data is indeed "open." Would that Facebook used this strategy, the implications would be clear.
The critical part you missed out was the default selection that almost never 'surprises' you.

Do you want to take a shorter route? "No | Yes (auto selects in X seconds)"

I feel this is possibly the best way you can provide the options.

Hi Scott,

Would you see, in the future, quantum computing used by end-users? If so in what possible applications?
There are probably ways to create a cleaner packaging system.

But I'm not sure if the plastic problem (a huge one, and I really love nature) will be solved by individual action.

In practice it would require laws, like the anti plastic bag law reduced demand by 70% in the Netherlands.

Or technology, like a better bio-degradable plastic alternative.
For our usage that's my point of view.
When you need to manage ws & asynchronous task, you are just ending stacking technologies to make Django enter in 2018 (remember tornado?).

SIB was a consortium for practitioners at the various universities, but many of them came out of a biology background, so the ones that would be taking this course generally had a masters or PhD in biology.
Tesla as a brand will certainly continue to exist.

Alas: that's not what is being discussed. If Tesla were to enter bankruptcy, then it legally is no longer necessary to uphold its end of any bonds, payments, or other such financial issues.

Tesla might go bankrupt in the next few years, if this Model 3 thing doesn't work out. At which point, it won't return any of the money from these reservations.
Trouble is, I don't see how smart contracts validate the actual presence of assets like stocks, bonds and gold underneath. There's obviously going to be centralization and trust necessary, in which case I might as well rely on regulated financial intermediaries exchanging real dollars rather than hold a synthetic dollar with the downside counterparty and residual value risk associated with holding derivatives linked to a basket of goods but no upside.

I'm also struggling to understand the incentive for people to overcollateralize to receive tokens notionally equivalent to dollars and how that's convenient
I don't think you understand Dai. It's pegged to USD, meaning that it tries to be as stable as the USD, but is not actually backed by USD. KYC/AML issues are no different than those that apply to BTC (e.g., if you try to cash out BTC or Dai via a U.S. exchange for USD, you will need to pass U.S. KYC).

This is one of the reasons I prefer Apple Maps to Google's -- because IMO they do a slightly better job of that. Still wish it would be better, it's a daily nuisance for me.
I'm like the worst person on earth to be giving anyone else advice about that!! Do you have any idea how much time I waste obsessively reading the news, or worrying about people saying mean things about me on social media, rather than doing research or anything else useful for the world? I suppose my advice would be: don't do what I do. As my former PhD adviser, Umesh Vazirani, likes to tell people, "concentrate on the high-order bits."
Ah ... it is friday today, I see...
I've heard a similar idea on Hanselminutes. The way he states it is that everything is layers of abstractions, and in order to be great at whatever your chosen layer is, you should be pretty good at the layer below it and of passable quality (think junior dev level) at the layer below that.
Sorry, I don't know who that is.

How do you feel about the state of higher education? Specifically, do you think expensive degrees, underpaid PhD/Postdoc positions, and shortage of tenured jobs may discourage students from joining academia and push them into industry instead?

I implemented a secrets manager using vim (which comes with blowfish file encryption support). We just pass the unlock key in from a secure location, such as our ci/cd pipeline, and then pass it to something like the following:

echo '1,$'|vim --cmd "set key=${__password}" ${__filename} -es|grep mysecret

Inside the file, you can do whatever programmatic syntax you want, because from here it's just shell pipelining.

I'd actually love to hear if this is a really bad idea.

Hi Scott,

Why do we live in a universe where the Halting Problem is unsolvable?
Studies like this are always interesting to me in that they tread the line between neuroscience and philosophy. They show that a persons philosophical outlook and thinking controls a great deal of how we process and respond to the world. It's unfortunate that our societies usual reaction to attempting to help those who have experienced trauma by getting them to deal with it and move past it is to decry that as somehow 'victim blaming' or minimizing the trauma. Our brains are amazingly adaptable. We can be trained to be utterly fragile, or amazingly resilient. When shown an image like those shown to Alex to elicit arousal, a person can either identify with the subjects in the photo (an act which actually takes a great deal of mental effort, since images are so profoundly different from reality), or recognize it as an image and deal with it solely as it actually is. Whether you do one or another has substantial consequences for you subjectively. And of course no one but yourself can make that kind of choice.

What is your opinion on how advances in QC may advance our understanding of human consciousness? I remember that in your QCSD book you make few remarks about Penrose's microtubules theory, the one that tries addressing two questions about human mind:

1. Are mind processes Turing-computable?

2. If yes, at which level in the brain does the consciousness emerge?

Penrose's answers to that (as far as I know) are not generally accepted by the scientific community. What is your intuition about these two questions?
Repetition and training, along with conscious intentional recognition and resistance to the automatic response, I imagine. That's how practically any degree of emotional control is always developed.
Obvious headline is obvious.
While I think it's the most effective to leak the data of the persons that are able to change the rules and pursue justice in this case, I do think that these exact people will try everything in their power to make an example out of you - the leaker - and you'll end up as a second Aaron Swartz.

Also I think it's interesting that people say it is "leaked" while what actually happened is that the price of this data got lowered to zero for a few lucky souls.
You can use CSS page sizing as well, passing it via meta isn't required.

https://docs.breezypdf.com/metadata#use-css-for-page-size

Headers/and footers are just HTML strings and can be super rich with images etc and customized with CSS. Page numbering is free as well in headers/footers.

Of course you could just use properly positioned <header> and <footer> tags and do whatever you need to with JS for page numbering.
> 5 years ago electric/autonomous cars-as-computers were not on the road map (or were an afterthought) for major OEM's

Five years ago was 2013. The Nissan Leaf and Chevy Volt were first released in 2010. Tesla Autopilot was announced in 2014 (four years ago!), which used technology by MobilEye, which was already supplying BMW, GM and Volvo with the same technology.

I don't know where this revisionist history comes from. Large automotive manufacturers did say that it would take time for the technology to mature, and it took roughly as long as what they said it would, around the same time Tesla launched theirs as well. If that's not a roadmap, I don't know what is.
I don't want to stop holding leak sources accountable for what they lose

Where is this happening? I'm not aware of any company being prosecuted (or even penalized in any significant way) for releasing data.

Very unlikely. They probably account for things like absorption when calculating redshift and the corresponding numbers that they're getting from their measurements. For instance, each star/galaxy has a spectral composition that can indicate what it's made of. This can be correlated with brightness for other stars and can be determined how bright it should be. Redshift would shift the entire spectral composition towards the red, while absorption would remove certain bands. There's probably many other ways they've verified redshift too that I'm not thinking of.

Here’s what’s next now that the FDA has approved a cannabis drug for seizures
I use Apple maps because my car has Carplay and apple doesn't allow any other map provider. It still has issues finding locations and maps me to the wrong location. In LA, being a mile off can easily result in 1/2 hour delay or more. It also lags on construction closures updates(eg: exit closure) which are common in LA, unlike google products which gets up-to-date data from Waze. Apple maps needs to be perfect all the time to be viable.

Until Apple fixes all their issues, they need to allow other map providers for Carplay.
Hi Scott. I've read your 'Why Philosophers Should Care About Computational Complexity' - I found it to be a very nice read. Is your book 'Quantum Computing Since Democritus' worth getting my hands on? Is it not going to be too repetitive given that I've read your article?
I also prefer Apple Maps over Google Maps.

Google Maps are slightly more detailed, probably since Google is generating the maps automatically from satellite imagery, but for going to one point of the city to another I feel that the two apps are essentially equivalent!
> As a cynic, I was expecting that Republicans might want more regulation here (in contravention of their general desire for less regulation) because it would be in their own interests.

That's the thing you don't understand about Republicans. They don't consider regulation on social media platforms as something in their interest.

The model, "IF you don't like something, then advocate making a law against it" is not how conservatives see the world. However, this is the model which liberals subscribe to. There is nothing which liberals don't like, which they don't advocate making a law against it.

Before you point out other things, their model is "Govt should only act against things which are objectively morally wrong, like violation of private property rights".

Keep in mind, they opposed Gay marriage for as long as they could, but at this point, 'reverting gay marriage' is a dying (or never was a) cause among conservatives, reverting 'Roe v Wade' is.

If I understand your example correctly, you mean to say that wash trading can be used to inflate prices. This could be true if Tether was simply another no-name altcoin with abnormally large percentage volume on Kraken. However, Tether trades on the magnitude of a few billion USD daily[1]. $13 million is a drop in the bucket. And as the article states, the trade did not impact price.

Yet another example of people being confused by statistics. This story has been written and posted on HN a hundred times. It's always a failure to distinguish which type of business is being discussed.

The data for innovative technology startups is going to be very different from almost everything else. Comparing the businesses that Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg started to consulting companies or restaurants makes absolutely no sense.

I already answered that in another comment, but briefly: Waterloo/Perimeter, Caltech, MIT, Berkeley, U. Maryland, Singapore, Oxford, Cambridge, Bristol, CWI Amsterdam, Hebrew University, Tsinghua, UTS Sydney, McGill/Montreal, LRI Paris, and don't count out UT Austin -- we're planning to expand a lot! And many, many other places have at least one or two people in the field.
I'm curious about the transpiling problems from, say, Go to Crystal (not after SSA, but before w/ the high level constructs). I have toyed with Go to Kotlin and even though duck typing is unimplemented in the latter, I can basically get there. I even started a project to dump Go AST and type info[0] but I haven't completed it really. There are just too many amazing Go libs out there to not exercise this option.

Go does have a buildmode for c-archive and c-shared, but it's built around the hobbled Cgo, so you have to explicitly export funcs, and things like structs cannot be exported. Still, a swig-like shim/bridge could be developed, but I am unsure at what cost (I think the go mobile stuff does a form of this).

By the time you get to 2 or 3 points deep in any rationalization, you've made such ambitious leaps of (subjective) assumption, that your view isn't more logical than any one else's. This is fundamentally different than the postmodern assumption that any given categorization (and following assumption) is as good as any other.

e.g. If you think that tigers are woozles, ok. If you want to attribute woozles with subjective properties outside of a label, you're very likely going to die when you try to interact with them.
I don’t even bother with it, because whenever I’ve tried it has been so inaccurate.

Labeling in general is incredibly problematic in Google Maps. It's amazing to me that I can do a search for restaurants, hover over a shopping strip that I know has 5 restaurants, and only one of them shows up no matter how far I zoom in. I'll wonder if Google just doesn't have data for the other four, do a direct search for one of them, and then find that it actually has loads of data, 100+ reviews, links to the menu, photos, etc.
That's good for page sizing but as other comments on this thread noted, no browsers seem to have proper support for CSS paged media including Chrome. When I tested it, none of the @bottom type stuff or other print/page related CSS worked at all which is why I ended up with Weasyprint since it has it's own engine (and is really great). Example of some more paged media stuff not supported by Chrome; https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2015/01/designing-for-print.... Another thing Weasyprint does really well which surprised me is automatically carrying over table headers onto subsequent pages when a table is split across pages, which is really nice.
You might want to talk to closest people and share your feelings. Comforting words and having people who care you can improve your mindset. I am not an expert but a suggestion.

The 919 Tribute Tour: On-Board Record Lap, Nordschleife
I hated hearing this when I was 20. It's got some truth to it.

CEO/Startup/Business skills come with time, at 20 I just wanted to build, like a beast.

Transferable business skills though, came from creating and transacting value with others, be it through a career to learn how a business works, freelancing, contracting, consulting, etc.

I tried to spend 10 years leveling up to get 20 years of experience. Experience in remaining learning open-minded, learning to focus on the right things, and being effective does seem to set one up differently to add and create value.

The kool-aid machine, however seems to want to take away a person's 20's for much less. Investors who value genuine founder development as much as the product development are extremely valuable.
Fully agree - the media is full of the crisis of loneliness, rising suicide, depression, so of course mental health budgets are cut to the quick and wait lists rising again. Even the much needed building programme in the Blair years will have us paying off the public private partnership for another 15 or 20 years. Corbyn seems to have lost the momentum since the election so I'm not sure how that will play out in the next one.

Interesting, I'd always just assumed I was doing them a disservice and not noticing the real issues when seeing stories of no-platforming or focus on redefining or limiting some online language. I think it's far too easy to get detached from reality with the degree the networks keep everyone in their own little bubbles. Brexit was the worst of UK politics in so many respects, especially the amount of racism that came up, not since I was in school can I remember that much open racism. I really thought we had done better on race. I'm not especially optimistic either when we have seemed overdue for a political change for perhaps a decade now yet all sides seem happy to carry on trading insults and lies.

"... was running a character-based text editor that I viewed with the typical pious disdain of a Macintosh purist." ( https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&stor... )

Did Jobs share a similar bias? Did he understand why a small % of the population would want to have access to the command line (The inverse of his "mere mortals" references)? Did he take advantage of the tools provided by using a shell?
