Glad to hear it. How Scala-friendly are the interfaces?
Yes, of course. Censorship for China, backdoors for Australia, espionage for USA, lies for the rest of the world. Unfortunately the only thing that counts is money. We are just providers of information they sell.
I wonder how much difference physical stress Vs mental stress it makes. Stress is stress. Anxiety (mental stress) causes physical symptoms. The will to continue in physical endeavours is through changing the mind and being determined to continue. Mind over matter. This want to stop doing physical stuff comes from the mind. So improving the mental toughness comes from repetitively attempting to breach this barrier.

Goggins even says stuff in his interviews with Joe Rogan that indicate that he would agree. Most people stop physical activity not when the body is exhausted but when the brain thinks the body is done. When Jesse Itzler interviewed with Joe Rogan about Goggins, he said Goggins thought people only did 40% of what they were capable of until they changed their mind.

Under the Five Eyes partnership, isn't this just a law passed so that Australian citizens can be forced to install backdoors on behalf of the US.

The CIA is said to not spy on American citizens domestic activities, but ASIS and ASD can do that for them.

You're saying "don't see them at all", but we don't know if that's what happens. We don't know that drivers don't see fixed lights, or see flashing lights more often. And we don't know what information they get from the lights.

I think that the best solution here would be for the major players to go dark together for a day or two. No Google, no Bing, no WhatsApp, no Facebook.

I say this as an Australian developer who relies on these services to communicate with family back home. The Australian market is so small that these companies could do it, and I think that it would have the desired effect. Australia is a country which requires these services, and if every single citizen was suddenly without these facilities then something would be done about the problem.

Right now, the average person in Australia is not informed about the changes, and they do not know the impact it will have on them long term. It needs to be brought into sharp focus.

That is of course, if these companies actually see it as a threat to them - which is up in the air.

How Austerity Ripped the World Apart
I think yours is the comment disconnected from reality. But I will say that westerners tend to over-estimate what is required to live "comfortably", but $100k in savings won't get you very far, even below the poverty level.

$1 million will provide you with enough money to live comfortably. You'd still need to be somewhat frugal and be mindful of the hedonic treadmill. But that's not "never worrying about finances again". $10M will get you there. $100k when you're young is a good start to retirement savings, a hefty real estate down payment, or temporary living money while you spend several years chasing a dream. But that's about it.

Apple already operate data centres in China without privacy controls - seemingly happy to provide full government access in exchange for access to a lucrative market. Google currently have no operations in China.
Yes, they will install backdoors. We just won't know about it.

Well, for starters, volatility.

I know, very well, know how quickly this pile of cash can evaporate. To keep from starving again I'd rather have a significant (like orders of magnitude at this point) chunk dedicated to buffering me from that outcome. I do not trust the market to remain stable - I will go out and make more.

I've lost fortunes some of you youngins can only dream of, but came out OK because I was not content to sit on my laurels.
It's worth considering what about command line interfaces makes them useful, who they are useful for and whether Mac OS offered an analogous interface somehow that fit the bill for their users. For me, the main gain of using a shell is that you can easily automate and document workflows. Apple added this to System 7 with AppleScript, to some extent. I haven't used AppleScript, so I have no idea of how successful it was to this end, but it does seem to cover some surface that would traditionally be in the domain of a command line shell.

Apple released their GUI operating system to consumers before most competitors had anything like it. Rough contemporaries in the GUI consumer OS space, in the mid-80s through the 90s almost all had some kind of command line interface. The addition of AppleScript was probably a response to this, while trying to stay true to Jobs' and Raskin's idea of the Macintosh as a "computer appliance".
To reliably triangulate elevation from GPS data you need quite a lot of satellites. Air pressure gives a better signal, but obviously needs to be calibrated for weather etc.

> DeepMind didn't come up with a novel biological insight; they simply pointed their unparalleled AI resources towards a deep learning problem.

What this essentially comes down to is a bunch of teams with high domain expertise and high technical capability was beaten by a team with higher comparative technical capability and lower comparative domain expertise. One has to wonder if one of the teams with higher domain expertise (ie work in the field every day) could achieve better results by improving their technical capabilities, or more aggressively applying their domain knowledge.

The question really comes down to whether DeepMind can beat any hard "game" (chess, go, protein folding etc) better than humans with deep domain expertise.
They seems very pro qualcomm and anti intel.

Like the snapdragon 810 they kept having articles claiming that there was no termal issues after it had become more or less common knowledge that it was deeply flawed.
My best advice is: ignore the people who say "it used to be nice, but now it is ruined." Go and travel, and experience it yourself. In 20 years, you'll be saying "it used to be nice, but now it is ruined." I hope someone else chimes in and says "ignore the people who say that it used to be nice, and go traveling anyway."
Interesting. I'm wrong then.
lots of phones have barometric sensors that can be used for more accurate elevation differences. sadly it seems to be a "premium" feature and i can't find it in any phone <300 dollars in price

MGRS doesn't allow you to ommit the larger value coordinate chars instead of a city/place name.

MGRS doesn't use a charset that doesn't have ambiguous charachters.

Just two. Might be minor, but it's not no advantage at all.
There's a third option. Force the Australian government into a showdown in which they have to ban Apple devices and services from all of Australia (via the telecom carriers). Don't leave willingly, stand by the people of Australia until you can't any longer; don't harm your customers willingly, make the government harm them by physically revoking market access. That would have the benefit of producing a very public demonstration of what's actually happening.
Oh I know, but it seems like I encounter a mindset here that you need six figures forever just to not be destitute. A few days ago a guy posted he had eight million post-tax from an exit and folks were calling it barely enough to retire. Even if you could only keep up with inflation that ought to last 150+ years. Particularly with a paid off house.
I would add that I have had my fair share of industry scale problems where labeled data is not drawn from the same distribution as where the system will be deployed. But as you pointed out earlier, there are theoretical and practical methods to deal with this. For someone who wants to get familiar with this territory, domain adaptation, transfer learning, transductive learning, semi-supervised learning, etc would be some of the keywords to seed an initial literature search with.
Wait a second. So 835M+Q7 is not a full identifier? You need to specify city too? Ain't that gonna cause problems?
Elucidation a given protein’s structure is still a fraught process. Maybe the technology has improved, but when I was in that fiel 5 years ago, the going rate was “One PhD” per structure, i. e. 2 or t3 years of tinkering, with no guarantee of success.

Just to be clear, I thought the propaganda you were referring to was comparing China to pre WW2 Nazi Germany, like Steve Bannon did in his book. I had written a long post about the similarities but thought better of it - the more I analyed them (eg Tibet) the more I realied China is closer to the USSR.

So I scrapped the whole thing and wrote the post above. No, they were all in fact socialists. You may not like it, and I do make a YUGE distinction between socialism and social democracy. For example Bernie is wrong, he is a social democrat and not a “democratic socialist”. Scandinavian countries are social democracies.

Having said that, I admit that there are other TYPES of socialism that are not acknowledged. Like Kibbutzes and the Public Stock Market. Socialism is just collective ownership of the means of production.

But when most people say socialism, they mean State Socialism.

Very true, and thanks for my first chuckle of the day.

I certainly don't wish ill on anyone. I've suffered a lot, in various ways, but that has made me more compassionate, and I think therefore there has been value in that suffering. I have learned how to make do with very little.

Again, I appreciate your comments.
I think there is some confusion of terminology going on here. What you are calling "uncountable" is what is also known as "countably infinite".

You can derive asprin from salicylic acid very easily, I did it during undergrad chemistry 101.
Look at the other people on the list this year. Donald Trump. Cardi B. Hugh Jackman. Satya Nadella. Sean Hannity. Jacinda Ardern. Elon Musk. Oprah Winfrey.

You can argue about the exact selection of people. You can say that Time is 'politicised'. But this is clearly a list of people who are very well known.

It's not embarrassing to admit that you had a blind spot about a particular author, musician or politician. But it is a bit silly to then go on to claim that since you haven't heard about them, they can't be that famous after all.
This feels like an accidentally arrogant, Western-centric way of looking at addresses that might not conform to our description of an address. Like, “the White house on the hill in John’s village” is as much of an address as 12 Whitehouse Lane, Johnsvillage CA or whatever.

This is the same as saying people don’t have money because their wealth is in forms that aren’t immediately liquid, or translatable into dollars... We need to tread carefully here. Especially if we want people to actually embrace this over far more human-friendly existing forms.
No, it states the reason in the article:

> UK spies are planning to increase their use of bulk equipment interference, as the range of encrypted hardware and software applications they can't tap into increases.

So past communication methods came with built-in backdoors for UK spies (and, as it turns out, around 32 other EU agencies). These backdoors are becoming useless for them, and so they seek to force everyone else into providing backdoors for them again.

Off topic: DeMorgan's law

> the negation of a disjunction is the conjunction of the negations

As a non-English speaker I hated this definition until someone told me to remember

> 'break the line, change the sign'.

This is of course referring the representation in boolean algebra, where, NOT(A AND B) is represented with a single long horizontal line on top of (A AND B). This becomes NOT(A) OR NOT(B), i.e., Ā | B̄ according to DeMorgan's law.
In my opinion, a big disavantage of MGRS is that it is based on UTM. These days nobody uses UTM and UTM is hard to grasp if all you are used to is lat/lon coordinates.

So the clear advantage of Plus Codes over MGRS is that it is based on lat/lon
Almost any modern BI tool supports formulas; if you're interested exactly in n-dimensional data model try https://www.seektable.com
That's only a partial plus-code, though, which relies on external positioning of Honolulu. The full plus-code is 4 digits longer, and with the plus itself, it's 11 chars vs. 12 for MGRS at 10m precision (14 for 1m, which is more than plus-codes can do).

If MGRS was too long, it could simply get a new encoding and be done with, or add the abbreviation system.

Also, that particular plus-code you used as example is not recommended. Reference points should be small features that will have low geocoding variance. Larger points like cities, or here whole islands, as there can be very large variance to the exact location derived from the name (i.e. the pinpoint location Google Maps finds you when you just search for Honolulu).

From the README:

> Rather than a large city size feature to generate the reference location, it is better to use smaller, neighbourhood features, that will not have as much variation in their geocode results.
Keep in mind that the Germans didn't have access to many resources. The allies had Africa, the Middle East and South America to supply them with all they needed.
> The implementation of this functionality in a way that will delight customers could hypothetically take 3 weeks as it requires the implementation of an upload button, a datastore to store the uploaded values, and an integration into a legacy feeds system to get the spreadsheet's data to all of the places it needs to go.

> In most scrum processes 3 weeks of effort would not be accepted, and the story would be "broken down" into smaller issues such as "implement an upload button".

You can always find some way to implement something valuable to the user in less than 2 weeks if you actually try. Don't give them an upload button that doesn't go anywhere: give them an end-to-end integration that only works for one of the reports. Give them a network path where they have to save the sheet with a hardcoded filename, if that's still going to save a lot of time compared to manual data entry. Build end-to-end paths that you can widen out, not vertical slices that are useless until you've done all of them.

I think most of the people replying to you are equating "not worrying about finances" with "not working another day in my life". Which is probably which strikes you as disconnected.

I see where you are coming from, and agree with you. I am happy to say I'm at a point in my life where I feel I will never have to worry about finances, and I'm nowhere near $10MM. I'm 30 years old, live alone in an apartment that could be big enough for my wife and a kid if I decided to marry and have a kid. I save/invests around 60% of my income. I'm not at $100k on savings/investments yet, but can easily calculate when that will be and it's not too far in the future. I work full time, and I'm looking to reduce hours/days worked before I turn 40, but maybe I won't. If I will, financial implications will not be the major factor of that decision.

So yeah, considering I'm comfortable with two or three less orders of magnitude less than 10 million... I'm as amazed as you are.
My last name is a word in the name of a popular drink company and depending on the domain extension used, I've had some real issues trying to buy a domain that uses my last name.

The last domain I tried to buy was ".codes", and within about ten minutes my domain purchase was revoked. After arguing it with Namecheap, they said that I would need to legally dispute their claim over the domain name to be allowed to purchase it.

I like to think that buying a domain means ownership, but it is clearly a rental model, and it is geared towards those that can protect that entity without competition.

> 1. Lots of LEDs flicker. Shitty ones with twice the frequency of the main current (so 100/120 Hz) While you might not notice this it causes eye strain and can lead to eye fatigue, headaches, migraines.

That's with a full rectifier. It's even cheaper to go half-rectifier and end up with 50/60Hz flicker. Being cheaper, this happens a lot.

I'm super sensitive to this flickering and will get nausea after sitting in some cheap LED lighting while other people hardly seem to notice.

I jokingly say that with cheap 50Hz LED lighting and 60fps screens, virtual reality now has a higher frame rate than real reality.

MGRS has variable precision just like Plus code.

4QFJ12345678 has precision 10 m. Example of plus code with comparable accuracy: 73F69J3M+VV

10 km accuracy in MGRS is just six letters: 4QFJ16

100 km accuracy is just 4 letters: 4QFJ
I disagree. It's something you always have to think about. It might get easier but it doesn't magically go away.
my first thought is always "but what about the people who aren't travelling and don't get to use the modern conveniences you seem to just be on break from?" whenever i hear this sentiment.

you want to truly explore the wild, there are plenty of opportunities. wanting to goto a place that is prettier and has less opportunities for connection seems elitist against the people who actually live in your getaway paradise and make a hard life there using tourism bucks.
It's a referenced plus-code, which "saves" 4 digits.

Instead of being a true location like the full plus code, coordinates, or MGRS, a referenced plus-code requires a referenced location to resolve (think "124 meters north of the postal office"), and the precision becomes entirely dependent on the precision of the services used to resolve the reference location (i.e. Google Maps might consider the exact location for "Honolulu" to be somewhere else on the island of Honolulu than Bing Maps).
This does rely on an ongoing wifi mapping effort but is the most effective for regular simple smartphones without fancy sensors.

I think one of the disconnections here is that you are talking about extra cash (over what you currently earn), whereas rgbrenner (and probably others) are talking about all income.

And I think they have a point: $100k is a lot of money, but what if you got sick and couldn't work anymore, ever? Wouldn't you be at the risk of starving or becoming homeless if you had to stretch that over 30 or 40 years?
Practicing MMA (but any single art like Boxing, Wrestling, Muy Thai, etc would work) has definitely boosted my mental toughness. Once you step into a ring with someone who is trying to attack you, and come out okay, you realize you can handle pretty much anything.

Even if you don't spar, simply motivating yourself to go to practice can be tough. If you can walk into a room knowing you're going to be pinned and choked, you can walk into an interview/negotiation/meeting/date no problem.
