As a software development manager, I had to learn to go home early. I'm the type that enjoys work. I would work late till 8-9pm. My team would feel guilty and stay till 7-7:30pm.

"As the activity it is certainly valuable to ensure the validity of the blockchain."

Not at the cost that it currently takes. Personally, I ascribe far, far, far less value (if any) to any cryptocurrency mining compared to using the energy for other stuff, or not using it (and not having the mark up on graphics cards).

"but I think eventually it'll settle down to some stable level that is acceptable to all market participants."

The "market participants" would only be those mining crypto, though.

This isn't quite right, but it's a common misconception. Any rank-2 tensor can be represented in matrix form, but not all matrices are tensors, similarly with rank-1 tensors and vectors.

The distinction is important because thinking about the way you have presented leads to confusion about what tensors are...

He basically does detail monthly costs. You're implying it costs him about $833 a month to run.

His gig internet is $80 a month: https://www.centurylink.com/fiber/plans-and-pricing/seattle-...

His wifi backup internet is $40: http://www.gigabitseattle.com/residential-services

He specifically states the setup draws 220 watts at idle and that his electricity costs $0.0974/kWh. So 22024/10000.0974 = 0.514272 per day, or about $15.40 a month at idle.

So around $135 a month.

Repeatability is a bonus, but it's also a limitation - not all sources of data can be restarted. Overall, I think restartable enumerations are ok to lose given that they are rarely restarted in practice - they tend to be expensive, or at least seem expensive.

If you buy a put option, someone sold that put option to you. Only one of you will be correct, and one of you has theta-decay (while the other person benefits from theta-decay).

That's how the options market works. Someone pays theta-decay for the long-tail chance of hopefully being right sometime in the next year or two... while someone else collects that theta-decay over time.

Its insurance, plain and simple. Sometimes, the insurance company wins, and sometimes the buyer wins.

But with any trade, there's the other side. If you go long-put, someone else has decided to go short-put against you. Your final bet is that the short-put giver will actually give you the money when you win your bet.

Very good post and I completely agree. What I think this is a result of, is the construction of a very complicated and abstract apparatus - that of wealth, class, media, and all the various laws/regulations/judicial rulings that serve to cement the system and undermine a true democracy.

What good is free speech when rich people can simply pay people to espouse and justify views as a full time job? What good is the second amendment with a militarized police force? What good is privacy with the NSA? What good is political free speech with the CIA and FBI? What good is democracy when those with views outside the two party system have essentially no representation?

Out of curiosity, have you actually used Glass or interacted with some one that was using one?

IIRC, the Unifi stuff as well as Meraki will do multiple ISPs. They do outbound NAT, and have a liveness check which is just a ping sent to the next hop. Ping fails, or the interface goes down and the device simply sends the traffic the other direction. Any established TCP sessions simply fail, but any new traffic will failover just fine.

I'm using this setup in my office. Easier than finding a last-mile type ISP that supports BGP.
What you call “structural rules” is just the machine learning term regularization. Dropout, early stopping, batch norm, advanced initialization, etc. are all equally useful ways of regularizing models as are explicit penalty terms or implicit restrictions to subspaces of the possible weight space. Whichever of these engineering tricks works best for your use case either (a) doesn’t matter much because they all work about the same or (b) is a matter of specialized experimentation and case-by-case analysis anyway.

Also, the theory of using this type of approach for model fitting is not new in modern deep learning. Older models like RANSAC did similar things even when the model itself is far simpler and there is no network topology effect. Arguably, advanced MCMC methods like NUTS, or approximation methods like ADVI, are even more formalized approaches to the deep learning hacks, where the network structure and regularization constraints defines a prior over model parameter space, and when combining with the data to get a likelihood model, you really just want something that draws from the posterior over model parameter space.

The reason it’s a “hack” in deep learning is that nobody is trying to formally define the posterior based on the model and the complicated metaparameters, rather they are just adding tweaks on top of tweaks to use deeply inefficient momentum SGD methods to sample from the posterior and optimize a la simulated annealing, instead of making the models truly amenable to something like NUTS. Which IMO is yet another reason to view incremental optimizer tweaks as a negative thing, slowing down and distracting the community.
I'm in complete agreement that the bigger problem is the lynchings and mobs. These happen without phones and fake news, and blaming it entirely on phones and fake news ignores the bigger issue.

That said, I think fake news is a lesser issue that still needs addressed. I very highly doubt it will be stopped completely, but I do think the world could do a much better job of educating its citizens along with having competent police forces that respond adequately and investigate such rumors and fake news. Between education and gaining trust from the people, I think these will lessen the effect. Weirdly, some of this stuff might help stop the mobs as well, but maybe not.
> If your friend grows up in a rich neighborhood and all of his friends drive BMWs, and he's upset because he's driving a brand new Accord, would you feel bad for him? Probably not, but this is how people criticize the USA's relative poverty and income inequality.

The US has higher income per capita than almost any country in the world, yet living standards are relatively low for a wealthy country. For example, many US citizens don't have access to health care or decent education. Alone among wealthy countries, US life expectancy is dropping. That's not the difference between an Accord and a BMW, but between life and death.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/12/27/ameri...

And also, why should Americans, with all that wealth, want to live like a poorer country?

> countries with low populations and high in homogeniety (e.g. scandinavian countries) will look superior in comparison

Most wealthy countries look superior to the US, and only a few of the very poorest countries in the world are losing life expectancy.

> homogeniety

Who says that this has a negative impact? I'm not even sure what it means. In many cases, research shows heterogeneity is a strength, not a weakness. If it's the old racist complaint, I don't see how having many skin colors prevents the US from providing health care for its citizens. A health care system that costs 2-3 times as much seems a more substantial cause.
Point-of-sale is pretty trivial computation and costs very little energy. Its value was also obvious.

>now many are finding value in blockchain over banks

Debatable, people are using it for speculation, yes. But 90% of the people hyping blockchain probably don't even know what specific problem it solves and when this trustless model is even useful. It usually doesn't hold up to closer inspection.
> I think it actually is pretty common for people to refer to certain natural events as "mother nature" "telling" us something.

True though it should be a shorthand, convenient way of saying it, but I've seen it derail many a discussion when people get hung up on the abstract aspect.

> "Tell" might be something only humans can do or it might be more generally any signal from some entity that induces behavior in a living organism.

That's where it gets interesting because many times (though definitely not all), many of our communication is biologically or environmentally driven, so it's often tough even among humans what we're truly trying to communicate. It's a fascinating interplay between different parts of ourselves that we're trying to express :)

>What about the "frictions" renters face based on a tax system that inherently rewards home ownership?

I mentioned that. It's constant across the country though, so I don't think it creates a new cost to move from one place to another (the "friction"). Rather it's an ongoing subsidy on home ownership that incentivizes people on the edge to lean towards buying. More people buy because of the subsidy, who then have a higher one-time cost each time they move.

>How about the "friction" renters face by not turning their housing expenditures into a future retirement nest egg?

It's not clear to me that this is true, leaving aside places where rapid housing price appreciation due to supply restrictions dominate the cost of housing. Homeowners bear additional cost and risk - maintenance, insurance, interest on mortgage capital - that are part of the cost of rent. How much wealth accumulation results from acquiring home equity when you exclude tax and capital gains from demand shocks and include the transaction costs of buying and selling, potentially frequently?

Open Office spaces is another prevelence from startups copied elsewhere in corporations without thought. For a startup in Silicon valley where rents are high it makes sense to save cost on office space to decrease cash burn rate.

Just because it is good for Silicon Valley startups does not mean its a good fit for the rest of the world.

As a programmer you need peace and quiet when solving problems. You also need non interrupt time. Working in open office space is both loud and interrupt driven.

As the article shows open office space decrease collaboration which is not what was intended.

Also, the author says:

"They don’t lead other sheep or form leadership structures like a pack because they don’t care about other sheep. Every sheep lives in a universe of One, which makes them just about the most non-obedient creature around."

This is incorrect. Sheep have a social structure. In every flock there is a head ewe. The head ewe decides when to leave the barn, where to go in the pasture, and when to head back for the night. There is a process for leaving the barn in the morning. The head ewe goes in front. Everyone else follows behind in more-or-less single file. If there is a ram in the flock, then he is last. The head ewe walks for a few steps, stops, looks around, sniffs the air, and everyone behind her patiently waits. Then a few steps more. It is a ten-minute process for my sheep to get from the barn to their favorite tree.

This does not invalidate the greater point that the author is making: there is, very definitely, a flock psychology. Sheep are not inclined to put themselves in danger to help one another, unless it's one of the ewe's lambs who is in danger: if that's the case, she will go to her death to stand down a wolf. And there's a truism among shepherds that the sheepdog knows to stay out of the way of a ewe and her lamb lest the dog get butted, hard. But in general, it doesn't make evolutionary sense for sheep to try to fight wolves. They lose.

But I suppose what I'm saying here is that, even within human flock psychology, there is room for people to help each other. Your enlightened self interest, at the very least, says that you shouldn't go out of your way to screw people over. You should alert others to dangers you see. You should follow the one with a better nose and more experience. You can't eat all of the grain yourself, so you might as well share it with others. A low bar, I know, but one we often fail to clear nonetheless.
The bigger question to me is: would the housing market have gotten so ridiculously over-priced if the tax rates had not been capped in the first place?

Smalltalk (and for that matter Ruby) has weird feature that blocks and methods are different different concepts.

In my opinion the Python's explicit self argument is somehow cleaner approach than having distinct block and function/method types. You still need some kind of ugliness in order to implement super(), but for Python 3 that happens at compile time and the resulting syntax is reasonably sane.

As for the aforementioned method context issue CLOS/MOP takes interesting approach of macroexpanding the method definition into something like

(lambda (args next-method)
(labels
((call-next-method &args)
...
(funcall next-method ...)))
(impl (...)
... method body ...))
(funcall impl args)))

Also of note is that in ST, there are no control structures, even if is implemented as method on Boolean instances which takes block argument, with true and false being instances of True resp. False with different implementations of #ifTrue: method.
