I think the idea is that there aren't any problems in business that cash in the bank can't solve. It's just a question of whether you have enough money to throw at the problem to make it go away. $10 million is enough to make any problem go away. Basically you just hire a consultant and they get it done.

Finance is high wizardry, treating literally every single problem you have in dollar terms, but it built the modern world. Us software developers exist in what's basically the frontier of business. $10 million is just getting started for a software company. But it's enough to push through to profitability in every single other sector.
It seems there is a huge opportunity for someone to “disrupt” our banking system beyond saving fractional dollars and cheap trading. A simple, online only (or mostly, like Schwab) credit union could find a big audience.

It could be marketed as low fee, community-centered banking. Offer no ATM fees and low mortgage rates without the typical profit motive.

While it may seem counter-intuitive, the Autobahn is safer than many motorways which have speed limits.

Whereas US interstates - with speed limits of 70 mph - have an average of 4.5 fatalities per billion kilometres travelled, the Autobahn only has a fatality rate of 2.7 per billion kilometres.
That's incredibly expensive
Things like blog posts are playing an increasingly large part in scholarship. Granted, it's not part of the 'traditional' peer-reviewed journals publishing process, but there's lots of change afoot (e.g. open access, post-publication peer review, preprints etc).

One thing you can do is make sure you're still on the map. This could include, for example, making sure Crossref tracks your blog so we can record citations / references from your work to other work. Our service for tracking non-traditional publications, Event Data, is still in beta, but you could add your blog to the list:

https://github.com/crossref/event-data-enquiries

http://www.crossref.org/services/event-data

You could also publish your article on FigShare, which means it will get a DOI and thereby be more easily citable by others.

I've had papers greatly improved by peer review. Maybe mathematics is an outlier. All my best papers were significantly informed by reviewers.

I've had cases where my initial thought was "this reviewer is an idiot!!!" When I calmed down and forced myself to give them the benefit of the doubt, I ended up realizing they were right, and they improved my papers.

There are much better ways to make taxes understandable to people than making it complicated to file them.

I agree with your perspective that it's largely a problem of social bubbles.

However, I think that forcing inclusions of people outside of the usual bubble will expand the bubble over time. That's the goal of this kind of legislation, I think.

It will also potentially have side effects like under qualified people being chosen for jobs because of the color of their skin or their gender. Some people see this as an unacceptable assault on the idea of a meritocracy, while others see it as a reasonable price to pay to push society away from sexism and racism by expanding the bubbles.

Speaking purely from my own experience, it takes practice. It wasn’t easy and at first I had no gap between the stimulus and my response. Taking responsibility that my anger is mine and isn’t caused by the other party made it clear in my mind it was up to me to change. "They" aren't "making" me angry; I am angry because "they" have broken some of "my" rules. Sometimes my rules are valid and sometimes not.

The gap widened over time. This is really a process of the heart/spirit/inner goodness, there isn’t any way to think your way through it. It’s about making the commitment to address the behavior, practice and self honesty.

All that said, and all my years of practice, I can still be quick to anger especially in the case of those I have judged to be morons (there's "my" rules coming into play again). But it is nowhere near the same level as what was making me depressed some time ago. And that’s the key point I’m trying to make through my comments here. Look to addressing your inner anger if you’re depressed. Especially when angry with yourself. I want to be really clear I have anger in my life. I do my best to channel it constructively, but I’m no floating in the clouds guru spreading love and unicorn farts across the galaxy. I’ve just found some ways to deal with it and experience some benefit as a result.

This shows once again that building successful software depends not just on coding skills or UX design skills, but more on the connections we have. I'm betting most senior developers on HN could have come up with this kind of solution (or perhaps even more advanced ones). Connections determine, through a seemingly random process, our ability to actually find interesting stuff to work on. I just wish it was simpler to find interesting project ideas.
"Your comment strikes me a bit like a chemist denying environmental pollution as it's all "just chemicals.""

Chemicals admit of a form of pollution when they form themselves in ways we don't like. Spacetime doesn't have that sort of memory, excepting exceedingly weak gravity waves, for which it is basically impossible for those to ever be your biggest problem (if not simply impossible for those to really be a problem). There's no spacetime equivalent to dumping a nasty chemical somewhere, and a hundred years later that chemical is still there hurting people. Spacetime doesn't work like that.

You're basically anthropomorphizing, thinking that there just has to be a way for humans to screw this resource up because humans are just that icky and gross, because cynicism and fashionable misanthropy. There isn't. Not in the real math. There's nothing humans can do in the real math that we know that the universe hasn't already done a couple dozen orders of magnitude larger than we could ever dream of. If space was going to "rip" or something, it would have already. It doesn't. In fact, in the real Einstein field equations, space very, very, very aggressively doesn't rip or suffer any other such problems. Any attempt to introduce such defects results in those defects immediately (and often quite energetically) undoing themselves. That's why when you read about real wormholes, for instance, the story always ends with the wormhole collapsing and exploding before anything, even light, could possibly traverse it.

Real math may change, in which case this answer may change. However, I expect that by the correspondence principle, even the ultimate unified theory of everything is unlikely to have an outcome where suddenly all this stuff is possible. Whatever the ToE is, it's still going to reduce to General Relativity in the large scale.
I wonder if there is some kind of "steady state" vs "transition" effect that could explain this though. For instance, if you put up a sign that changed the speed limit from 70 to 80 but changed nothing else about the road, would you see an initial increase and then decrease after a few miles? Although I'd also guess that in reality if the speed limit changes to 80, there's probably other characteristics of the road that change so that the steady state might not regress back in this instance.

Please forgive the misspelling, I assure you it was not on purpose. I never claimed you were Russian, just pointed out that your rhetoric sounded remarkably like coming from a Russian, quite ironically, given the context.

As to the rest of your post, -- well, are you a Russian or not? Have you lived there or not? Do you read Russian debates and watch Russian state TV? If you haven't and you can't, then what is the basis for your claims that their priorities changed as a result of the 90's crisis, that they do not have imperialist ambitions, etc?

Otherwise (if you do speak Russian and did live there): 1) why are you claiming you don't? 2) We have radically different experiences. Russia I know didn't change much after or during the 90's. They have had the imperialistic attitude during the Soviet times. The 80th-90th crisis knocked them out of the saddle, but as soon as Russia recovered in the 2000'th, the ambitions made a comeback, and now it's more a defining characteristic of the nation than ever. 3) In my experience, Russians (as a nation, not every individual, of course) are not decent people at heart. They are cruel, they hate the world and each other. Moreover, they do not believe anyone else is 'decent at heart', they believe everyone is faking it (a term has even been coined for this in Russian: the Reverse Cargo Cult [1]).

I strongly disagree that this is the approach the OP is looking for... but it is an interesting idea and has provoked some good comments.

There is a movement to help men out to become better people. Jordan Peterson is a leader in this. This makes sense because testosterone and sperm has been in decline for decades, decline of our culture (no more Jimi Hendrix's or Metallica's), mental health problems, etc.

These phthalates feminize men.

1) it would be interesting to see to what degree phthalates contribute to men crisis. As opposed to the effects of post modernism, feminism, etc on men.
2) It would be interesting to see someone like Jordan Peterson's reaction.

PS phthalates might be particularly insidious because it changes the epigenome (epigenome is inherited to parents to some extent), so we are likely not in steady state of the damage from phthalates. Each generation our epigenome deteriorates from phthalates.

If that number crunching is highly vectorizable, avx-512 of skylake-x will likely still be faster. Eg, an Intel 7900x is over twice as fast at multiplying big matrices (multithreaded) as an AMD 1950x. Of course, a similarly priced GPU would stomp both whenever CPU-GPU latency isn't much of an issue.

Meaning "highly vectorizable number crunching that you can't practically run on a GPU for some reason" is probably fairly niche. In LINPACK the even the 1950x beat the 7980XE on phoronix:
https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd-linu...
and I'd have thought LINPACK would really reward AVX...

Maybe it isn't optimized to take advantage of it?
I love wasting time playing with number crunchinng microbenchmarks, and when you do that avx-512 seems so unassailably impressive, it's surprising to see this not bourne out in larger benchmarks. (Also worth pointing out you need to tell gcc -mprefer-vector-width=512 on top of march=skylake-avx512, otherwise it'll prefer 256 bit vectors).

Anyway, those benchmarks definitely support compiling and number crunching. Pretty ideal for stuff like monte carlo.

In my experience that is a really, really wrong way to run a business and a bad way to engage developers. Every business should be customer-led and developers should understand exactly why they are doing what they're doing. Otherwise teams get to wrapped up in writing good code instead of delivering a good product.

> Induction is invalid

Can you rephrase this without using the word "induction"? Since that word seems to be confusing a lot of people in this discussion.

My attempt at rephrasing, based on what it seems like you are using "induction" to mean, would be: it is always invalid to reason that the future will be exactly like the past. Or perhaps: it is always invalid to reason that our future data will show exactly the same patterns as our past data.

If this is what you are using "induction" to mean, then of course you are correct; but I don't think this is what others in this discussion are using "induction" to mean.
You manage windows with your mouse and the window title bars/borders. There are universal shortcuts available also, just like Cut, Paste, Print, etc. are universal.

Of course, in an ideal world, windows would be "spatial", remembering their position and size so they always opened exactly how you left them, so managing them with your mouse would be no big deal, and even more efficient and human-centric than whatever tiling WM Linux users think is cool today. But these days not even Apple wants to commit to that. Nevertheless, the paradigm of a universal set of commands that all applications respond to is central to the Mac user experience, and the window-management shortcuts Mac OS provides are part of this. You're just so used to a difficult-to-use OS where "window manager" is a separate concept that you have difficulty understanding the simplicity of how the Mac does things.
The wind is also a significant factor. But yeah, that's almost a helicopter :)
Of course it's true that most forms of media and entertainment have been subject to, "Won't someone THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!" responses from busy-bodies, fear-mongers, and others.

That in no way mitigates the fact that this medium is categorically different. None of newspapers, comics, D&D, TV, or any of those other things had immediate, real-time feedback adapted specifically to the individual user, and designed to weaponize the amygdala and dopamine responses to maximize engagement, at the cost of basically everything else.

Interactive tech brings a sea change in this phenomenon and its effectiveness. You can't meaningfully dismiss that, because it's predicated on the paltry shadow of what happened with non-interactive media.

EDIT: Consider, for example, the cohort of children whose early development screen time correlates profoundly strongly with their inability to hold a pencil. That's new. TV didn't do that. D&D didn't do that. Screens did.

The "Stanford Professor Loses Political Battle To Simplify Tax Filing Process" article[1] discussed here a year ago [2] is relevant to this topic, although in that case it concerned California state taxes.

That article also answers a question many here have ("why don't they pre-fill the form like <insert EU country here>"). It's because Grover Norquist, the well known promoter of the "Taxpayer Protection Pledge" took the counterintuitive view that just making the process easier equated to a new tax, since taxpayers might end up paying taxes already on the books that they might have previously unintentionally evaded.

The same applies to any such improvements in the IRS filing process.

Arguably it's not really comparable because of country size etc. but I really love the Portuguese IRS system. You log in from your PC, press a button (if you want), and the system auto-fills all of your tax data for you. You can then check that everything is in order, add deductions and proofs if you like or need. Press simulate to check what tax returns you will get. You may save and print everything. There is a help system built-in that explains every form. When you're finished with your review, press send, and the system will validate your forms and send them to the IRS.

Usually everything is filled-in correctly anyway. Takes 5 minutes for ordinary tax payers like me.

Yes the uncanny valley can cause that already.

For example, in the past, when someone asked you for directions you gave it to them. Now some people are like “don’t you have google?” Same goes for asking for any type of informational help.

The touch interfaces of smart phones enhance the dopamine feed back loop from a sense of touch. Touching something releases Oxycontin which is a bonding hormone. Couple that with slot machine random push notifications triggering dopamine that are there to capture ones attention. I think smart phones are strongly addictive.

Peoples attention span is the new currency. Big data analytics are used to maximize user retention and user attention.

I personally found that if I use "smart phone" too much it is shortening my attention span, I could no longer read long text like manual pages without getting distracted. Why is it called "smart phone" when it is addictive and makes people who use social media to much more depressed?
