Getting a job where? Just like the internet is home to many different subcultures, so is the USA. A political comment that makes you unhireable in Silicon Valley could make you a more attractive hire to a defense contractor.

On a personal note, I once was denied a job based on the fact that I made a one-off comment 5 years previous that I was starting to dislike Object Oriented Programming. That's all it took to convince this company I wasn't fit to work for them.

If a comment that innocuous can be used as a reason not to hire, then you have two choices: never say anything online ever or stop worrying about it. I opt for the latter. So has most of Gen Z. Worrying if expressing utter mundanity online is going to be used against you is no way to live.

This is really interesting. I may have to start tracking on my own. But I'd do it a bit differently.

One is that I don't think happiness is exactly the thing I'd track. I'd also want to track sleep cycle, not just sleep amount. My experience is that too little sleep or a disrupted sleep schedule has a negative effect on my mood stability. If I sleep enough and at roughly the same time every day, I'm more emotionally resilient.

One sleep hack I recommend to everybody is to try to avoid waking up to an alarm. I now adjust my wake time mostly by adjusting my bedtime. This certainly makes my mornings better, but it also means I fret less about getting the right number of hours, in that I trust my body to generally self-regulate on the right amount of sleep.
Hmm, you seem to be indicating that people use macros to create new syntax all of the time. I have not actually found that to be the case that often. In particular, there are only two macros I know I use somewhat regularly that do this. LOOP and FORMAT. And even those always follow the same general syntax of lisp. Unless you get crazy, it is not usual to actually use things that drastically change the full syntax of lisp.

But again, in lisp, you probably make use of more metaprogramming than you'd realize, precisely because it is indistinguishable from normal programming.

(I'm tempted to contrast this with some of the DSLs I've seen in the likes of scala and ruby... I have a hypothesis that all of the hoops you have to jump through to make a macro like construct cause people to go all in when they do so.)

Now, I'm also not claiming lisp gives superpowers. Again, I'd almost go the other route. Most lisp is typically quite simple, because you can accomplish quite a lot that way.

Which does bring it back to aesthetics some. The parens just flat out don't bother me. They are a bemusing joke, that never actually made sense. Too often, the difference is minimal compared to most C programs. Foo(bar) becomes (Foo bar). Which isn't that big of a deal. The basic math changes from infix to prefix is a bit to get used to. However, I find it is much more pleasant to deal with generics (+ matrix1 matrix2) as opposed to matrix1.plus(matrix2) of java and the like. Of course, I was also a huge fan of my HP calculator in college. RPN for the win! :)

So, yes, I do think it comes down to preference. I don't think you're preference is wrong/bad. I do think your view of lisp sounds colored more by bemusing jokes than actual problems in lisp code. But, I fully grant my experience with ruby may be colored by an overly ambitious project written in it.

Or you could optimize for happiness-truth product. This would lead you to lifestyles, philosophies, and religions which remove any negative correlation between happiness and truth (which I would argue have no inherent, unavoidable relationship with each other).
Yeah, perhaps that was too strong a statement to make without qualification. Using the linked speed test I'm consistently getting between 75-85 WPM. While typing code I have recorded speeds of up to 60WPM, this is actually pretty damn fast for writing code which generally contains a lot of special characters and obscure words.
When you make a new purchase, you agree to the updated terms of service. This is pretty standard practice. (Steam makes you press a renewed terms of service agreement on every purchase, for example.) When you agree to updated terms, it generally replaces your prior agreement with a company. Had he not agreed to the new terms, his account and the purchases tied to it would still be under the old terms.

The whole EULA/TOS nonsense is crazy in general, but RSI isn't doing anything unusual here, and I'm not surprised this is how a judge took it.

The idea that someone could make 61 different purchases over a span of years, and then go back and think that they are entitled to refunds for all of them is a little crazy. And while the game isn't done, it is playable, and he did spend a significant amount of time playing it. It's unfortunate the game isn't developed the way he likes, but that is again, not an RSI-specific problem.
A long-shot, but could they be waiting for convergence of desktop and mobile in MacOS? With the upcoming Mojave, they're taking a small step in that direction. Not an excuse for these delays dating back 5+ years, but maybe an interesting question.

Based on your comment elsewhere[0], I seem to be among the crowd you believe is throwing around irrelevant moral arguments when in fact I did not and 3pt14159[1] to whom you’re replying here did not. I was discussing valuation and 3pt14159 probability.

The founder owns a chunk of equity, an asset with some value. Given the ups and downs of reaching a point where people are kvetching about equity allocation — and 3pt14159 reminded us about survivorship bias — the founder may overvalue her stake. If bad news has recently hit, she may undervalue. Regardless, the question is what will persuade the founder to give up a piece of what she owns, and what will she accept in exchange?

Looking backward does not generally make for wise business transactions. The entrepreneur’s role in the market economy is looking ahead to make forecasts and allocate capital accordingly. Comparing past exposure to loss is a pointless exercise. Giving away resources with no hope of repayment or increase is gifting. Spending with the expectation of regaining what was paid plus an additional return is investing. This is still not a moral question but one of philosophy.

Many people miss this when looking at the situation as though it were an undeserved windfall for the founder, a gift from Santa Claus. Assuming the founder is primarily interested in increasing the value of her equity, accepting a smaller percentage of the pie will not achieve this purpose unless the individual slices become more valuable because the grant of equity was an investment, and “Well, I’m going to continue doing the same job I’ve been doing for the compensation I already agreed to” is not a strong business case.

Looking at it from the employee side, of course don’t agree to below-market pay with zero or insufficient equity on the mere hope that big blocks of equity will fall out of the sky later. (This would be an opportunity cost for the employee, but that is still different from out of pocket cash loss to which the founder may have been exposed.) Employees who want more have to either negotiate for it up front or increase their value to the business. On this, I will make a moral argument: yes means yes. Ask for what you want, and agree to what is acceptable. No one is a mind reader.

I'll go a step further about line-cutting in China: People seemed to actually want a queue.

I lived in Chengdu 2011-2016 (and am happy I did) with my wife and three children.

Very very often there would be a mob instead of a queue, notably at a weighing station during shopping for fruits & veggies. I noticed that almost always, the force of example crystallized a queue.

All I had to do was visibly step behind someone near the front, and people would follow my example. A queue would form, and members of the queue would start enforcing it on new arrivals.

In short, people secretly wanted a queue, but they hadn't yet formed one.

My data comes directly from monitoring the CPU frequencies as I was doing development work. There's an intel tool that gives you that data in realtime.

I did mostly only have the 15" MBPs, but thermal throttling is a fact of life on pretty much all mobile devices. I do mobile development work and having mobile CPUs run at full frequency for more than a minute or two is pretty much impossible.

Is it random? In my experience with Autopilot 2, it’s typically when the front radar is attempting to discern between a metal sign on an overpass and a large object in the travel path, and Tesla hasn’t seen that object enough yet to code it as a known false positive in the Autopilot data corpus.

https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/psa-careful-autopilo...

“But as I recall, the understanding then was that Tesla had a database of things like bridges, and the braking meant that the database was incomplete. So folks were told to file a bug report ASAP after the incident so that Tesla could fix the data.”

So! If this happens while on Autopilot, press the voice command button, and then say “Bug Report <speak bug report here>”

There are several but its not as easy as it sounds. Its a very labor-intensive task. Its kind of like saying that a startup should be going to peoples homes and cook for them according to their liking.

The issue is that doctors work for insurance companies and that means you need to do things a certain way they like while matching the way they practice and document their medical decisions.

ARM can do a small subset of what x86_64 can do. Let's say for a minute ARM doesn't have a built in H.264 decoder (they both do, but that's the one feature popped into my head).

The x86_64 chip will be able to do execute the decoding of a H.264 file that faster and more efficiently than the ARM chip because the x86_64 has purpose designed instruction to do this or make the job easier.

Another Example. x86_64 can multiply and divide while ARM can't. Both chips can do the same work, but x86_64 can multiply 20*4 in one instruction while the ARM chip has to do 20 + 20 + 20 + 20, with each one being an addition instruction. ARM might be able to add faster than x86_64, but x86_64 will still be able to multiply faster. That's extremely simple, but when you get into more complex operations ARM has to spend more time doing what x86_64 can do.

> An i7 isn't going to run iOS more slowly than whatever Apple calls their latest ARM SoC.

an i7 will run iOS slowly because iOS is build specifically for ARM. Just like how PS3 emulators take a lot of effort to run on x86_64 chips, there is an emulation overhead.

> It _is_ going to blow its lid without a big ole heatsink brick on there and a fan too, which is why smartphones use ARM cores designed for efficiency.

Yeah, because it's designed to run at a higher thermal envelope. To get ARM anywhere near the Floating Point performance of an i7 you will need to increase the power and throw some active cooling on it.

> P.S. if anything, ARM is the "general purpose vehicle" in your analogy.

I don't think so, as seen above and below.

> x64 is all about high throughput and high power on a chip you buy and plug in.

Yes, because OSs have been designed to use as much as the chip can offer it. But I can get a 5 watt Intel CPU will will run circles around a 5 watt ARM chip.

> ARM is the one where you can get an architecture license and customize the shit out of it.

Yes, so you design it to fit your specific functions. Apple's CPUs only implement what the the engineers need it to, so they can save die space by not implementing unused instructions. You are proving my example here. ARM is the Customized Purpose built USPS Truck, while x86_64 is a general purpose F150. The USPS build their truck to fit their needs just as ARM Chips are built to meet the needs of the consumers.
I didn't take it as a true 'course' last year but incidentally watched a lot of the lectures -- heard some really genuinely novel perspectives that aren't as self-evident as a lot of startup education ~seems~ nowadays, so i'm excited to see how the course has evolved!
Frankly that should make it entirely unenforceable. I’m very confused by the judges choice here, other than “it’s too hard and it’s easier to apply it here” which is a pretty crappy standard.
It still looks an incredibly boring and pointless procedural generation tech showcase even in the latest trailer.
> why should we take this course?

1) Content - learn a lot from lectures

2) Accountability - office hours will hold you to your goals and keep you making progress

3) Mentorship - Experienced founders and office hours mates will help you make sure that you are working on the right problems in the most efficient way.

4) Community - it's inspiring and energizing to be around founders in a similar position as you. Plus, it can give you early users and customers. (Our first customers were through Startup School).

> what have you achieved after taking this course?

My co-founder and I make enough profit to live on our business while traveling full-time.

> did it help you build/finish your startup?

Yes. And, I want to participate again this year. Our 2017 problems were building the right product. Our 2018 problems are navigating product/market fit and growth.

Because they said "No further medical input needed." which is a fairly clear "we don't require any more input from anybody, we've made our decision."

If after they "review" my case they ask again, I will reach out to the DR who treated me and waste more of his time, but I'm confident the insurance company would have still found a way to weasel out of it, even if the DR had been more explicit. I imagine it wasn't his first time writing a "not fit to fly" note, after all...
So how about a situation in which the trick doesn't work? I think an integrand with some singularities might do it. Some variation where the integrand ends up being x^3y/(x^2 + y^2)^2 should do it.
If it costs $2,000 to replace an employee, and the award incentive to stay on is $100. Then I would say the employee is getting screwed out of $1,900.

After taking a lot of psychedelics, and played shaman/tripcoach to firsttimers a couple of times, I can confidently say that psychedelics are too misunderstood and difficult for commoners.

Interpreting the experience without proper background invariably leads to funky thoughts, usually surrounding those pieces of experience that disappear/disfunction, such as identity, sense of self and environment, perception of non-natural persons, etc. All this leads to very zany, counterproductive and simply dangerous life philosophies.

I think it would be immensely valueable for more people to have GOOD trips. To take a piece of their mind and analyze it, to use these drugs to have unparalleled experiences.

But to loosen the restrictions, especially in the exceedingly naive current landscape, will only lead to widespread commercial abuse and misguidance, the nature of which affects people most likely to be irrational and confused. This is unacceptable, and should be fought against with the greatest ferocity - as it is a recipe for disaster, and you will readily find this evidenced in past situations. (e.g. hippies suffered a lot of bad stuff due to misunderstanding their drugs)

Isn't it the case that access to 32GB currently requires more power use (hence the larger battery), and that more power use necessarily means more thermal stress? In which case there may be nothing wrong with the thermal paste or the engineering; it may simply be that Apple came to the conclusion that the 32GB was more important than the issue of thermal throttling. For my use, I would readily take computer a little slower than the 2017 model for extremely compute-intensive, long-running tasks, but that let me use 32GB of memory.

Whether they are dishonestly marketing the machine as being faster is another.
