>[1] Such a benefit doesn't matter in a containerized world.

Go is used for the tooling for deploying this containerized world.

Let's take a look at some infra/ops tools written in Go:

* Docker itself - should run on baremetal (duh)

* Nomad, a container scheduler - should run on baremetal

* Kubernetes, a container scheduler - should run on baremetal

* Consul, service discovery - should run on baremetal

* Etcd, service discovery - should run on baremetal

When you actually work in ops, setting up the container conveyer belt by putting Go static binaries on Linux hosts - so that developers can go ahead, containerized their applications, and deploy them - is a big improvement over the Python days of yore.
All of those apply to Washington too.
Yes, but they all didn't grow up in three main regions, nor during a narrow time window. In other words, if this were solely due to retirement, I'd expect to see a more gradual increase and in more places.
I wouldn't be surprised. A lot of blacks in the Midwest are Jim Crow refugees and thus haven't had as much time to develop community support systems and generational wealth.

Also, Texas is very diverse.
I like Taleb's work. It's always good food for thought and frequently insightful. That said, his posture towards academia of late seems a bit juvenile and not a little annoying. Which isn't to say that he doesn't have a point, but it gets pretty frustrating when I pay good money for a book (Antifragile) and every other page is taking potshots at "fragilistas" and talking about how those dumb intellectuals don't actually know anything. In my book you win arguments by winning arguments, not by reframing the discussion so as to portray all of your opponents as hopelessly deluded cowards and fools.
Ok, now explain cats.
His custom captcha for comments is as funny as the roomba project.

If someone's argument is that something is wrong and has been known to be wrong for a number of years and here is an article explaining why, you cannot really use the fact that the article being used as explanatory evidence has been around for the amount of years stated, as some kind of winning move against their argument.

You do know this, right?
At no point does he declare Eric's other work worthless or otherwise "permanently" anything.

He indicates that trust has been breached, temporarily, withdraws his willingness to accept patches due to the breach of trust, and specifies precisely how Eric can rebuild trust:

That's one aspect, the opposite side of it is if you don't violate the laws you can't survive coz everyone else is doing so, powerful ones even get free pass.
>Sounds like they got what they were asking for..

Where are the social programs then?
>I am all for renewables

You have stated elsewhere that you think wind and solar are to do with communism. I am not sure exactly where you were going with that as an argument, but I really don't believe that you meant it in a 'yayy, communism' kind of a way.
I don't want to be that guy again (I've been heavily downvoted in every nutrition threads I contributed in HN), please understand that I'm trying to learn and improve myself. But I'm curious how did you come up with a plant-based diet that's not high in sugar. As far as I know pretty much all (except very few) plant based food are very high in sugar. Especially most fruits have exorbitant amounts of fructose. I usually eat high fiber veggies (like broccoli, brussel sprouts, soybeans etc...) but it doesn't give much variety. Remember that most animal based food (eggs, most cheese, chicken, turkey, red meat, fish etc) are 0 sugar. Also, nuts are low carb, high fat but they're very high in Omega 6 (except walnut and some seeds like flaxseed) and there is some research indicating synergy between sugar and Omega 6 for inflammation (I can find the link if you want, but I'm too tired right now). I'm all for veganism but I can never find a suitable vegan cookbook. People say veganism is easy, as far as I'm concerned this is simply not true. If you go full vegan you have absolutely no choice other than soybeans to get adequate amount of protein. Any other protein source such as beans are very high in carbs (e.g. 600 cal of black beans have only 40g of protein (which is only 1/3 of my daily need as a bodybuilder) but have 116g of carbs only 30g of which fiber, in my book a very unhealthy food). And since you cannot supplement your diet with seafood, you have very few choices of Omega 3 sources (various seeds, acai berry, walnut come to mind).

To make myself clear: I think vegan diet is efficient, sustainable and ethical. But there is simply no easy way to go full vegan and get enough macro nutrients (in particular protein, and fats) without getting a lot of sugar. I have a lot of problem with inflammation and even 5g of sugar is too much for me, so it seems like the only plant based food I can eat are soybeans and broccoli. Maybe I'm missing something. Care to help?
But then you have to watch commercials in the middle of the content - that's worse to me, paying money for the service and still getting commercials.
The article talks about multi-year trends. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 was introduced in November 2017 and became law in December.

At most, you can claim the law accelerated an existing trend but without 2018 data, you're just making things up.
You are paying more money than you did before, but because of a deduction cap not an increase in tax rate. You still have the same gross tax bill from state and federal, but you can no longer deduct the entirety of those state taxes from your federal taxes. The same amount of money is going to the social programs in your state through those taxes, and at the same time there is more money going to federal taxes. I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say these social programs are getting less money.

FOR THE RECORD,

Financial crashes are not "black swan" events. I've never seen a black swan in my life, but I've seen two or three financial crashes. As far as I can tell, Taleb is just a memer.

His degeneration of late is hopefully cluing people in, though the compulsion to substitute memes for thought will continue. Hey, maybe that's what IQ is, a person's likeliness to think instead of resorting to memes? Maybe that's why Taleb hates it?

I should really put some time into writing this up, but my first script that went corporate-wide was an NTP catch up script.

Now that I think about it, I really don't know why an NTP catch up script was needed.

Basically VMWare time was not reliable. Windows will by default not catch up unless you get to around 5 minutes off. My script checked every day to see what the drift was and correct it if it was more than 5 seconds of drift.

The underlying reason for concern was logging - we wanted to make sure that our log times were comparable.

Considering that NYC, Chicago, and LA are the three biggest cities in the country, I would say, yes, quite a few of them grew up in these regions. If anything, boomers would be the only generation that could afford living comfortably in said regions.

Taleb. Love him, hate him. Always a lot of controversy.

I like him quite a lot somehow, and there's clearly a good amount of genius in him, although sometimes there are certain positions and affirmations that feel less so (to me at least).

For example, his critique of the growing inequality in the world [0] [1] amounts to pointing at dynamic inequality, not static one. This one never convinced me so far.

To be clear: I fully understand his point; I simply disagree, especially while living in San Francisco and witnessing homeless people every day, walking next to VC multimillionaires.

Anyone able to convince me?

Longtime Austin resident, frequent Bay Area visitor here..

Yes, the problem we run into with people from California is that they move here and immediately start trying to create similar policies they left.

It was the local left (backed my Mayor Adler, local Hillary organizer) that banned Uber & Lyft, have raised property taxes to the legal maximum every year, pushed for a state income tax, and many other things.

My property taxes are 1/2 of my mortgage payment now and only going higher. While I can adjust and make due, it's pushing out more and more of the people who make Austin great.
The one thing I find baffling is the luggage angle.

"We're going to charge you $25 for a checked bag" triggered everyone to stuff everything in the universe into a carry-on.

Now you end up with half the flight being told "the carry-on space is full, but we'll check the bag for free" at that point. So they're checking bags anyway.

I wish they'd let travelers choose either a checked or carry-on bag for free. I honestly don't need my carry-on during the flight, so long as I can stuff a snack and book into an under-the-seat laptop bag, and if I can check the bag instead for free, then I don't have to schlep it across the airport.
Why the assumption? I'm very much a proponent of INTJ's developing their feeling side and tbh I prefer INFJ's to INTJ's personally. It doesn't change that the difference is in only one category, and not in one I would say drives the professional world as much as say N/S when it comes to working together. I'm not sure where such s strong conflict would come from, especially given that every category is a spectrum and very few are 100% T or F. To assume there is such a radical difference in one categorization is precisely a flaw of MBTI's use.

I couldn’t find any and it was painful to read, no actual argument or a hypothesis just random anecdotes and banter.

For example: “I've spent 34 years working w/"High IQ" quants. I've rarely seen them survive, not blow up on tail events.”

How many “low IQ” quants did he work with? With all due respect to Taleb I’m not sure that anyone who’s even simply above average would make it as a quant or even be attracted to mathematics to this degree.

From my experience with quants not only that they are exceptionally intelligent even if only in a narrow field they also see data and numbers very differently than how “normal” people see them even if these normal people score pretty high on which ever arbitrary scale of intelligence you pick.

I would bet good money on the fact that Taleb likely haven’t worked with any Quant with an IQ lower than say 135 which already makes them exceptional, in fact I’m not sure how much experience a person in his position has with average not to mention low IQ people to begin with considering the social circles he hangs out in.

Another one: “Perhaps the worst problem with IQ is that it seem to selects for people who don't like to say "there is no answer, don't waste time, find something else".“

I’m not entirely sure if we would have deferential mathematics and Newton’s law of motions, yet alone something like GR if everyone followed this attitude, while this might be a reasonable attitude to have to some extent in say business I’m not sure about applying it to our advancement as a species.

IQ might be a poor indicator for intelligence it might be a good one, but his rant offered no arguments or alternatives.

Yes plenty of people can be “obnoxious losers” and have high IQ plenty of them might even be that because of it, however it would be interested to see how much better these people have it than people who chosen to waste their life in just the same manner but who are average or below average and I have a feeling that the basement dwelling Twitter troll unicorn who is indeed correct about their 150 self proclaimed IQ still manages to come on top simply due to the rare occasions when push comes to shove and they have to apply themselves.
Stripping the article of the author (whom I don’t actually know much about other than he seems to have showed up next to Nate Silver at some point), I found this “thread” to be a bunch of personal anecdotes and “intelligent looking formulas and stuff” taken out of context to support the general conclusion that IQ is a bad metric for intelligence, as Taleb would know because he clearly has a very high IQ (note: this is something that he actually brings up as someone else saying about him, to give him credibility?). While I am not opposed to the position he takes, I did not understand the argument he is making the slightest. Could someone explain to me why this is actually legit, rather than what to me looks dangerously close to pseudoscientific rambling?

There may be an interesting market not only for simulated WWVB but WWV / WWVH if someone absolutely needs to sync from HF. Those HF signals are notoriously unstable in phase, so a locally simulated signal may actually be better.

We do. GPS is actually more accurate. That said...

1. GPS requires a clear line of sight to the sky. Doesn't work for indoor clocks.

2. Shortwave receivers are more energy efficient.

3. Redundancy is a good thing. Just in case GPS (or your receiver) has a problem.

4. WWV isn't just time. It also serves as a frequency reference for radio stations. It also transmits marine weather alerts, space weather (solar flares, etc.), and GPS system health updates. (Though apparently the marine weather notices are being discontinued in Jan 2019.)

Stan Grof developed it as an alternative to LSD psychotherapy after prohibition.

Basically the framework I formed looked like this:

Depression and other mental illness are very often caused by an adaptive response to trauma.

Trauma heals in the space of non-ordinary states of conciousness in the right set and setting.

There are numerous paths into non-ordinary states, including psychedelics, EDMR and Breathwork.

Breathwork uses loud rythmic music and hyper ventilation in a supported group context to induce a useful non-ordinary state.

I should say, I thought this was woo woo bs. But holy shit, it will take you on a journey- I was blown away. And also it was super useful to integrate the MDMA sessions.

NAT is not an 'implicit firewall'. Firewalls do packet filtering, NAT mangles routing. These are different things.

If you're trying to solve the problems of "How do we stop anyone on the internet sending packets to grandma's open ports?", then the answer is a packet filter. Thankfully, must sane consumer routers come with these.

The quality of being “true” is dependent on the model one is using. One can not talk about “truth” without being in a model. (Assuming we are talking about standard mathematical logic.). A statement in a first order system is provable if and only if it is true in all models for that system.
