I've been fortunate enough to take a class with Sanjoy (The author) covering this book. It was an incredible experience, and he's one of the best mentors I've ever met.

One of the things I found most interesting from the class that you couldn't get from the book was a particular method of assessment. He would pose a question, and allow you to give a weighted answer across a few options, to better understand your uncertainty. It was a very useful pedagogical technique, and allowed me to quantify my understanding in a very tangible way.

I highly recommend the whole book, but especially the first section, on breaking things down.
Granted, we know nothing about the person's current life circumstances, but this is really good advice.

If he has time to make tweets like that, his priorities are incorrectly ordered. It happens to the best of us, though.
Interesting excerpt from that NYT article - "The terms of the settlement are slightly tougher than those that two people briefed on the talks said Mr. Musk had rejected on Thursday, which called for a two-year bar on serving as chairman and a $10 million fine."

Multiple implementations would be possible. Even begging me for 5c to read an article or watch a video would work. I would be able to make 200 such 'payments' per month.

Its simple aggregation - a payment of 5c to a Youtuber would be swallowed up by credit card fees. But aggregated with millions of other people and done monthly (against a $10/m subscription for the end user, where they get a certain number of credits to use), and it becomes a much larger transaction where the fees become negligible.

There's a huge amount of variability between developers, so don't think that the "workaholics" doing 50+ hour weeks are necessarily being more productive than you; unless you actually compare, they could really be struggling and just trying their hardest to keep up with everyone else. In the past, I've solved problems in minutes that someone else on the team had spent many long-houred weeks and eventually given up on.

I'd propose that they are hiring cheap workers just to keep the ship afloat, rather than to radically improve it.

The fact that you came again is likely a valuable piece of data. And now you are identifiable, so if this is scaled to several coffee shops (not that this particular one would, but as a general idea), you get some pretty decent location tracking right there without having to sell people expensive devices with elusive privacy controls. Probably somewhat of an overshoot (or maybe not?), but given that companies like Google sell you local ads based on where you are, I can see why this approach would be valuable.

I welcome it for two reasons.

First reason is that the transaction is more transparent. Contrast that to what is happening on the internet - in the cafe informed consent is given explicitly instead of implicitly and from often less informed internet users.

Second reason is that it will perhaps unintentionally push into consciousness of people the notion that private information has real, tangible value which would hopefully translate into change of awareness and attitude on the internet to treats to privacy that exist there that I think we both find more nauseating.

Yes I'm sure I could come up with an unlimited amount of scenarios to make every system imperfect.

There's no reason we can't take the positive step forward of making it a holiday now which would improve it for a huge amount of people and then improve it further.

It seems people want 100% solutions. If it's not perfect we might as well stay stuck where we are. This is essentially what you are saying. This is why no progress is ever made, because improvements are ignored because they are "not perfect." The world isn't perfect, but we can do better and making it a holiday will help significantly.

That seems strange to me. If calling max() changed the sequence, I would expect it would have to be declared as mutable.

So let's walk through the logic here.

Suppose you say any system that can be used for communications must have a way to tap when a warrant is issued.

This means any encrypted communications system must have a back door built in that the government can access. And not just some single highly-regulated federal task force: any federal, state or local court in the US could in theory issue a warrant for someone's communication data, so the backdoor would have to be accessible to all of them.

Which means there's no encryption. There's no way that many separate people and agencies, all with access, would be able to maintain operational security; sooner or later it's going to blow wide open and anyone who wants to get access to someone else's communications will be able to with little effort.

That's what you're arguing for. Is that what you want to argue for?

And this is not idle abstract hypothetical slippery-sloping here. When the legal fight was happening, to try to force Apple to decrypt the San Bernardino shooter's phone, news came out that local police agencies around the country were literally lining up things like "someone was in a car crash, decrypt their phone for us so we can see if they were texting while driving" requests in anticipation of Apple being forced to decrypt phones in response to court orders. The instant you open up and force a backdoor/decrypt for one case, it will be wide open for every case, everywhere, and then we're back to effectively no encryption.
What about the middle class that would benefit from a holiday? Should we just ignore them because we don't have a perfect solution yet?

Making it a holiday is a huge step forward. Taking other steps (like mandated hours off for all jobs) can also be done. Why can't we have a small step forward? Is there a problem with progress if it doesn't fully solve the problem?

So we should do nothing, give up. The world is absurd. Oh well.

As something that helps the problem, it is simple enough. It's not an abstract idea. Our particular vessel at implementing such a change is where the complexity lies and the problem is with that, not the idea.

Often times quick fixes solve major issues for enough time for more permanent solutions to be put in place. Patching a pothole does the job. It's not perfect, but your car won't get damaged anymore in the pothole.

To me, it's more about making sure that you accomplish while pushing your learning curve up. This is easier when you work for an employer, but hard when you work for yourself as you always want to push more in less time. Another thing in a virtual work model is to make sure that you are engaged with your other coworkers throughout a regular basis especially if there are some others that are not working remotely. I think it's more about making sure that the team has a good feeling of the virtual model. I wouldn't be too worried about keep tracking of the exact clock in/out.
What does that have to do with Atlassian or any other company?
Use the Access Control pane to remove public access from whatever you are worried about. If you go to your public folder in the data browser, then select the sharing control pane by hovering at the top of the pane so the pane icons appear and then click on the rainbow icon. You should see the access control list including yourself at the top as the owner, and public (a globe icon) at the bottom as readers - in green. Delete the globe icon line by hovering at the right side, clicking on the read minus sign, and then confirming you want to remove the public. (If you need to drag it back, there is a globe icon at the bottom you can always grab to drop into the access control list.) Sorry not better documented!
Is it possible that we read a completely different article?

He was a huge fan of Harvest Moon and he wanted to make a spiritual successor. Paragraph 3: “I think it makes sense that I worked entirely alone,” Eric says. “I wanted to do all the music, the art.”

The article does talk about how he was not getting hired for the jobs he wanted, and he knew he'd have to level up his skillset. However, it's also self-evident that within a year he'd secured a publisher and taken an advance... so his job search became an educational pursuit which became an opportunity to build something that by any sane definition is a labour of love.

I'm not weirded out that you're not inspired, because it doesn't sound like you're the sort of person that would become inspired to create something like what's described. And that is fine, right?

Many of us, however, are inspired by stories like this. It's not just video games, either... but Braid comes to mind as an example of something that could never have come from Electronic Arts. It's also the only game that Roger Ebert conceded constitutes art.

For what it's worth, I'm sorry that your projects didn't work out. Arguably, if doing something you love isn't its own reward, then you might be doing the wrong thing.

Related question regarding burning the shorts. The SEC said the $40 million in fines would go to aggrieved investors in a court approved process. But the people who were hurt the most by Musk's initial tweet were short sellers with stop loss orders. But I don't think they would classify as "investors", considering they profit when TSLA goes down.

Does anyone know how this process works, or do you think short sellers would have a claim to some of that $40 million?

https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/release-1.2/acc... there are several emerging approaches to deliver that level of control over identity and artifacts. Each identity you provide to apps will have a root folder where you store the smart contract which maintains your sharing preferences and permissions. It's early days, but progress is being made, and it seems as if there will continue to be strong forces of co-opetition across the web3/indy web, and federated multi-verse. It will be interesting to see what kind of standards ultimately emerge and which community leads that charge.
To add on to this, wiretapping has definitely brought some good including against our own government. For example, it was used to catch Rod Blagojevich, the governor of Illinois trying to sell Obama's senate seat once Obama became president [0].

Tesla wouldn't exist if Musk took "advice from people he doesn't agree with". It's easy to point to model 3 production but what about all the other instances he has proved the nay sayers wrong?

Rust does have these abstractions. The corresponding rust traits are `IntoIterator<Item=T>` and `Iterator<Item=T>`. For example:

- Vec<T> implements IntoIterator<Item=T>
- &Vec<T> implements IntoIterator<Item=&T>
- &mut Vec<T> implements IntoIterator<Item=&mut T>

and consequently,

- vec.into_iter() implements Iterator<Item=T>
- (&vec).into_iter() (or vec.iter()) implements Iterator<Item=&T>
- (&mut vec).into_iter() (or vec.iter_mut()) implements Iterator<Item=&mut T>
