While these tools are useful, I recommend oldschool hard copy books to get started properly, if you're relatively serious about it. There are some great books for guitar put out by Berklee, I don't recall the names right now, but I do remember a series that had 4 books from intro to advanced.

I spent a lot of years learning guitar technique while not progressing much on the music theory side until I started reading Mark Levine's Jazz theory book. It's probably the best material on music theory I've read, though it's slightly based on jazz, or at least references it a lot. But I think you could use it as a general theory guide.

Another favorite of mine is Yusef Lateef's Chord and Melodic Patterns book, though it's more advanced/exploratory.

This article seems to conflate "remote work" and "being a digital nomad".

Lots of people work remotely without being digital nomads. Lots of people have families and work out of a home office. Especially folks over the age of 30.

I had this rough question (i.e., while entertaining causes as elaborate as a Dyson sphere, considering that a star might intentionally be used to send a low-information rotating signal like a lighthouse or signal/Morse lamp out along a plane) after the news about Tabby's star broke. I.e., I emailed it to Tabetha (no response; didn't expect one).

Isnt a lot of this an effect from Obamacare? Forcing every American to purchase insurance significantly changed the insurance landscape in America for people both with and without insurance.
'Median GDP' is a good version of GDP to give a somewhat balanced view of a typical citizens share of the pie.

Also, we need to stop expecting a single number to track. Any metric will always be flawed or managed. People need financial literacy and critical thinking to see the picture from altitude or I suspect many will be easily manipulated via relevant powerbrokers touting message appropriate single statistics.
Fixed gear, skinny tires. I'd probably be better off with cyclocross tires, but if you're optimizing for what you're going to be riding on 90% of the time, for winter commuting 90% of the time it's dry/wet pavement or hardpack snow. If the fatbikes give people confidence to ride in winter, more power to them, but personally I think it's overkill.

For the cold you've got to keep your extremities protected. I've got big dumb loose fitting mitts that slide on and off easily, and really warm socks. For my core, though, sweat is more an issue than freezing your ass off. If you dress to be cozy for the first 5 or 10 minutes of the ride, you'll be sweating once your blood gets flowing.

hi pavlov! Our token sale was for a complementary platform, matryx. We are very serious about our token and have be chugging full steam ahead with development. Our public alpha is live on testnet and we have established some key partners in EDU including the UC system and Chinese Academy of sciences.

I can't speak for our org. as a whole re: the blockchain hype, but my general feeling is relief. It's now time to focus on what really matters: great projects + people. Sadly, we're an exception for continuing to build during the "winter."

Integrating Matryx into the Nanome interface is a huge priority for us.

A huge portion of iOS/macOS is open source (nearly as much as Android) and anyone can verify what it's doing. Darwin is the kernel and underlying libraries. It's heavily based on FreeBSD and is available to download and read.
You just have to dress properly. Moving under your own power generates a lot of heat. You have to trap it, but you also want to avoid sweating. Also, you will want to eliminate skin exposure if it is very cold, like -10F.
I had a collection of hundreds of guitar books at one point I think, though that was a while ago. I've made another comment here - the Berklee modern method books are great for guitar. Also, learn a ton of songs if you can. There's no better way to work on technique than learning songs. I can suggest specific books if you mention what style of guitar you're learning to play...
It took me many years to build up the courage to go full time on my business. All the books I read gave me that confidence. I was thirsty for knowledge and reading other experiences made a difference for me. I had a rough guide about what was ahead.

At some point you need to stop reading and start executing. But, don’t feel bad about reading if you still haven’t filled you tank.

> I think we're closer together than you might think. In fact, I'm not sure where we fundamentally disagree. If we agree that measures that might (or might not) reduce aggregate nationwide income, such as the safety net, are worth the cost, then why do you a priori rule out measures in corporate governance that might have similar effect?

Ah, yes, you're right. This is the crux of our disagreement. So, I believe in the strong social safety net for two reasons:

1. It is fundamentally ethical to raise the minimum standard of living.

2. It also allows us to remove the pseudo-safety nets from corporate governance. I want to give people a UBI so that they don't have to work, and then eliminate the minimum wage. If Amazon wants to pay people $2/hour to stock shelves and not give them bathroom breaks, that's great. If those people have meaningful options, then they're free to make that choice for themselves, and either nobody will work for them, or if people do, they truly will be ok with that arrangement.

I want to empower workers by giving them options, rather than by refereeing companies. The sort of utopian vision that I have is one where everyone receives cash payments such that they can live decently without working, and has some form of variance smoothing for e.g. healthcare, so that they are not tethered to their jobs in any way. Then we'd have a truly competitive market in labor, where companies really compete to keep people, because people have meaningful options.

I think that kind of economy would be insanely productive. It'd be easy for someone to quit their job and start their own business, because there'd be very little risk to doing so. There'd be less friction in starting and operating a business, because it'd require less government oversight.

> It's not that someone else is richer (a common false stereotype spread by people on the right about people on the left, that they are crazy people who hate the rich and want to make everyone poor). The problem is that a great number of people are not benefiting, and if they aren't benefiting then what is the point? It also doesn't make them better off that Bezos is richer.

Ya, so I think that gets to it. It's not about inequality of state it's about inequality of growth. I would prefer to let Bezos get rich by whatever extreme form of capitalism he wants, and then tax him to pay for a safety net.

In other words: Bezos is really good at making money. So let's let him do it. Giving workers input into that process is just going to make him worse at it. He'll make less money. Let's let him make all the money, and then find a way to share in the profits ex-post.

I'm going to have to see some more flesh on those bones, too. This is a curiously strong claim about bright-line causality in a very large, very messy series of events with many actors.
What this breaks down to is that not everything that is valued can be expressed in hard currency.

The idea that hard currency is a universal lingua franca is deeply flawed and you've hit on a very good example of one area that is starkly apparent.
I quite like this as super thin intro. So far I always fonud it motivating enough to jump into deeper articles/books.
From Dean Baker:

http://cepr.net/blogs/beat-the-press/does-france-s-economy-n...

" For prime-age workers (ages 25 to 54), according to the OECD, France's employment rate is actually slightly higher than in the United States, 80.4 percent in France, compared to 79.3 percent in the United States."

https://stats.oecd.org/index.aspx?queryid=36324

Unemployement rate 25-54 year old is 8.1% in France and 3.3% in the USA.

So less than half the "unemployment rate" for less people working relative to this population.

A few decades worth of "inactivity" rise explaining this result (in french but graph subtitles in english):

A few things. First, can't you run Linux inside a Solaris Zone? I don't know much about Solaris stuff (although I do like it very much, I grew up mostly with Linux, which you so much despise, and I'm not too familiar with other Unixes). So... I think you could probably run Logdevice if you really wanted.

Then, here's my two cents. When engaging in conversation and civil dialog, please try to avoid being so dismissive and so proud of yourself and of how much you think you know about stuff. You come across as abrasive and entitled. It's not nice to just jump into a conversation and talk trash about the work of others just because you dislike the operating system that they use.

Finally, if you really care, work on porting it to your operating system of choice and engage in civil conversation doing pull requests, etc. Everybody will be thankful for that.
Much like Lebron, i recall the days of my youth when i was old enough to start biking around town, 20/30 minutes or more away from home. Felt like a whole world out there and many great memories doing simple stuff like biking with a few friends to the nearest gas station or walgreens and pooling up a few bucks to buy candy and a drink.
Making android more secure than iOS is out of reach for the vast majority of people. Most android devices sold don't even get regular security updates.
Inequality doesn't matter, in theory, but it does matter in practice. Like it or not (and I don't like it, FWIW), people measure themselves against other people. A large delta between the rich and the poor shouldn't matter, as long as the poor are doing well enough, but it does matter. We are social animals who evolved in small communities. There is a built in sense that many of us have that those doing better should share with those doing worse. And when things get too out of line, it undermines political instability.
> and likewise unemployment is a percentage you can't argue with (and easy to argue that less = better, again even if not always true).

Actually one can. Increase in productivity often comes from an increase in efficiency.

More efficiency means you have spare resources, as you can now do the same work with less effort.

What we do with these spare resources, that's a matter that isn't even discussed, they are pretty much always fully invested in furthering "economic growth" as in GDP, by investing all that spare time we now have, thanks to increased efficiency, into being even more productive for even longer periods.

But how sustainable is all of this? Can Earth sustain a population of 10+ billion humans, the majority of them working full time and for longer times, using up resources at a rapidly increasing rate?

It's a problem of thinking too short term on a global scale, everybody acts like this is some kind of race. But I don't think anybody will like what the finishing line will look like, there won't be prices there for anybody, there will be pretty much nothing.
It's Goodhart's Law: "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure." Too many people are incentivized for the metrics to look good to trust the metrics anymore.
The Manning leaks helped spawn the Arab Spring for a set of upside down reasons. Manning had no understanding of what he was doing, nor could anyone expect the outcome. Moroever, the leaks did not show the Americans 'being evil' to the world, in fact, just the opposite: the leaks showed thousands of professional diplomats doing their mundane jobs in a difficult and complicated world. Given how many cables were leaked, and that nothing explosive came out of that making the Americans look particularly evil is a real testament to the professionalism of the American diplomatic corps.

What the cables did however - was demonstrate to regular Arabs how deeply corrupt their own leaders were. Basically, they saw the Americans trying to appease, nudge, console, 'do the best they could' with some corrupt folks.

I'm sorry to not have direct sources, it was years ago when I was abroad, paying attention to all of this. Edit: I added a couple of sources below, it's not a conspiratorial view.
Been remote for 6 years now and I’ve had a blast. I wouldn’t say I was Nomad though, I prefer to pick a city to call home for at least a couple of years (I prefer european cities). It’s still easy to cruise a round a bit as well but I definitely like having a home with a solid group of friends etc. You do have to be proactive with the social life, but I prefer picking my friends by shared hobbies/interests than work. Remote gives you a lot of options, if you know what you like then it’s easy to design a life you’ll love.
Is this even legal? See anyone's Real-Time Analytics
This seems backwards to me. Shouldn’t we be comparing the performance self-driving cars to the performance of competent human drivers? The variance in human driving ability is quite high, which suggests (to me) that self-driving cars will become better than a significant fraction of human drivers well before they become (what I would consider) safe. I personally don’t want to see any more below-average drivers on the road. It’s true that there’s a constant influx of inexperienced human drivers, many of whom (in my opinion) shouldn’t have been granted licenses, but that’s a separate problem. (I’m talking about the US. I’ve read that licensing requirements are more stringent elsewhere, but here in the states we give out driver’s licenses like candy.)
TIN Terrain – Visualizing Large Scale 3D Terrain with Open Source Tools (2018)
I'd start by figuring out what makes a good "book showcase" that converts well.
Does it need a preview of the first pages ?
What kind of layout is popular ?
What information should you give your potential customer ?

Make a list of the key features you need, you can use Amazon and any service that does what you need and does it well as a source of inspiration.

Once you have this it's merely a question of finding the appropriate theme that fits your needs. I used Themeforest when I still developed on Wordpress.
> How does that make it meaningless? Yes, certain segments of the population are even more underserved than others, but that’s just more evidence for the fact that we’re doing a crap job of keeping people healthy.

Because by not breaking out the single largest compounding factor, it's masking the real problem underlying this issue: there's a massive disparity in outcomes for people of different races.
Professional doesn't mean you have to do everything yourself, this saves time so you can do the important stuff that can't be automated.
> their core metric was the number of searches where they matched 8 out of 10 or more of Google's results on the first page of the search.

That's a really defeatist way of entering a new market--"our competitor is the gold standard, so instead of trying to be better than them, we'll measure our success by how closely we can imitate them". It's like Pepsi and Coca-Cola, which I also always found strange. Why advertise Pepsi as tasting just like Coke? Why not advertise it as tasting _better?_

> Qwant isn't even that close.

I don't think that, by itself, says anything about the quality of their search results.
Yes, people must not forget this!

iPhone is certainly not a private device, just an order of magnitude less 'chatty' than google.
The point that he's making is not that individual observation should trump objective measures, but the epistemic claim that if what we perceive contradicts those measures, it's worth interrogating the validity of those measures.

I don't think that the particular example that you're giving is "fraught with peril". Note the lack of an upper bound on the labor force participation rate that you cite - 16+ includes people of retirement age, whereas the measure given in the article shows that the official unemployment rate for men 25-55 is just 1/3 of the "true" unemployment rate that includes disaffected workers. This is significant.

A 2d monetary system sounds interesting. Would there be parallels with complex numbers?
Another thing, I really do recommend learning music theory on the piano/keys as well as your primary instrument. Doesn't have to be a fancy keyboard, any cheap midi thing just to visualise the way the way chords and scales are structured. I've found that learning other instruments become a lot easier once you know a little bit of theory and how they're laid out on a keyboard.
Without exception, when the administrations change, the talking points always instantly change as it pertains to the hilariously biased media outlets. The day after the election, they either pretend issues no longer exist, or they aggressively focus on issues they were previously intentionally ignoring, depending on who wins. It's political story weighting. The US doesn't have any large, objective media organizations, they're all political party operatives entirely in the bag for their party.

CNN for example is like some kind of insane clown tripping on acid these days, with its commentators routinely saying the craziest shit I've ever seen out of the mainstream media (eg calling for the President to be coup'd by the deep state, or openly advocating for political violence). Once upon a time, they actually had a good reputation for objective news reporting.
Got quite a collection of intro books, but nothing on theory really. I had hand surgery on my frett hand a few months ago and still do physical therapy twice a week - just now getting some strength back so while I recover, trying to learn more music theory since my practice sessions are limited by a screwed up hand. I tell ya what though, practicing guitar is better than most of my PT exercises :)

> If you as a citizen make $1 and spends $2, you're officially bankrupt!

Not exactly, if I've got resources banked to cover the gap.

Unfortunately, the resources we're selling to cover the present excesses are the tax receipts of future citizens, and they would probably prefer to have those funds to cover other priorities.
Thank you -- this had to be said. Political discourse is useless here in this echo chamber.
They probably can't market their pro-privacy stance more aggressively, because otherwise people would call them liars when the next Snowden appears.
I worked from home for 7 months and also loved it. I stopped simply because benefits were better for a gig right up the street.
So basically to do remote work correctly you need 40 days of completely offline from work vacations per year, plus taking sick leave when you have anxiety or depression symptoms. It's also nice if you rent an office and if you make yourself space to have a meaningful social life.

I mean, those are great tips, but any kind of remote or non remote or whatever profesional career or relation more likely will need or greatly benefit from all that!
To play devil's advocate: is the fact that 16-24 year olds hold drastically fewer jobs than in the past really something that can be brushed off? On the face of it that sounds like people who would otherwise be starting their careers are not able to get a foothold, or otherwise are having to start much later than they otherwise would have. Combined with increased debt load, that statistic seems more like a harbinger of worse things to come.
Meh. I've had great beer from pseudo-craft brands and awful beer from small independent craft breweries. I also haven't seen this effect at all. Have some nice craft breweries been bought out? Yes. But we still have over 80 craft breweries in our metro area alone and we are far from the largest city in the U.S. The options for great beer are endless.

TBF I read the comments here and didn't expect much but it's not that bad.

No delay, and a search for 'kubernetes' brought up kubernetes.io at the top of the listings bar the top bit with the 'freshness' thing, which I don't understand tbf.

Second search for 'kubernetes ingress' brought up the kubernetes.io concepts page for ingress - which is better than what I get from Google occasionally, which is the actual doc page for 3 versions ago.

From this cursory search it isn't that bad. I generally swerve towards Google on most things, but this has been a better experience than DDG or Bing for me.
