There are a huge number of proofs published every year which assume the Riemann Hypothesis. So while you're technically correct that this only gives us confidence, it does significantly reduce our uncertainty and compartmentalize it to the Riemann Hypothesis.

That's really what assuming the Riemann Hypothesis is useful for in modern mathematics. You can obtain new results for a wide variety of things using the following routine:

1. Assume the Riemann Hypothesis is true and attempt to prove your theorem.

2. Now assume the Riemann Hypothesis is false and attempt to prove the same theorem.

If you were only able to prove your theorem under one of those conditions, you have a nice result. If you were able to prove the theorem under one condition and disprove it under the other condition, you've got a great result (see the list of things which are equivalent to Riemann). And of course, you might find that you've proven or disproven the theorem for both conditions, which is still good.
It is not normal in Abkhazia at all, it is depressingly suffocating for the young generation to survive there with no hope of normal life. There is no longer any Russian financial support, they are broke now. Kids are allowed to drink alcohol at an early age because of their old traditions, drugs and suicide are rampant, even the coach of a football team was caught doing cocaine, and the legal system is broke due to tribalism. I visited Abkhazia last July, they are cut off, no airport, no seaport, just one crossing controlled by Russians.No real economy, just Russian tourists who would generate some business in the summer, now in winter I heard many calls for help.

Select for good people, select against bad firms.

I think you've articulated something key; You need a competent partner to make sure you're getting decent value, regardless of the firm you're at, but firm culture itself can make any practitioner play poorly. This just pulled together a few strings of thought I've had (I have my own internal industry 'bad firm' and 'bad practice group' list in my head), so thanks for this post.

> sometimes it requires even more Javascript experience than using just Javascript framework like React to build something that require a web api that's not in the tiny list that Elm provided.

I don't understand. You're saying a codebase of 5% JavaScript demands more JavaScript experience than a codebase of 100% JavaScript.

This seems self-evidently false.

> If web development is not someone's main job and they are just finding a tool with better dev experience to build some side projects, the fact that they need to design an interface for almost every external package is not aligned with their original reason to use Elm.

Seems like the argument is Elm isn't ideal if you're not a programmer, because you can't cargo-cult it.

I think I'm ok with that.
I recall the lack of extensibility in gcc being deliberate, according to RMS -- he wnated everything around gcc to be free, and plugins would allow for non-GPL or even closed source code.
> Every business: "Hey, we use cookies to provide a better experience. That okay?"

They're not required to unless they're using cookies for something other than providing better experience. Also, that's cookie laws, not GDPR.

It's more like:

GDPR: "We see you doing X, Y and Z which are pretty abusive. We want you to not do X, Y and Z, but if you absolutely must, you can only do that to volunteers and you can't deny service to people who do not volunteer. Oh, and it really must be opt-in."

Every business: "Hey, we do X, Y and Z. That okay? [x] no >>> [ ] <<< !! YES PRETTY PLEASE".

Interesting! Does this effect work on modern CPU? I'd imagine that if CPU modifies memory which was consumed by prefetcher, it should reset and reread everything or something like this.
That's great news to me. I was hoping they do the same for debugging.
I'm going to cowardly agree with you both, simultaneously: the potential to learn in a startup vs big business is great, but you will learn radically different things.

I feel like it is a horses for courses situation where some people will thrive in one environment and flounder in the other.

Different kinds of burnout in both environments, too.

I have been using PHP for a new job after not using it since PHP 4 too but I was also a very immature dev back then. I quite like it. It's not perfect and it still lacks some things but it's very easy to put something together. I think that my biggest problem is actually that it's too easy, which makes some people write code that it's a bit too sloppy and hard to understand, creating a possibly huge technical dept.
I’m from a family of immigrants and still believe in some level of separation between family and money. While I believe in aiding family on the basis of love, I also believe in witholding money on the basis of love as well. For example, if a family member has a substance abuse problem lending them money is not helping them, agreed? The correct action involving money is to help pay for rehab or at most their housing payments if it puts no burden on oneself.

This issue is a very important one because it can strain or break marriages if your spouse does not agree with how money should be treated among family. How one treats money is a part of how they implement their values and morality in general, after all.
I think your point about employees is especially true, particularly since the large tech companies pay disproportionately so much more. If you are a senior-level software engineer, even if the startup is successful in the "unicorn" range, for most people that means an equity payout on the couple hundred K to the $1 million range for all but the very largest successes. Not bad at all, but when the FAANGS are already paying in the 250-500k range, going to a startup is you are not an exec or founder is almost always a poor financial decision. And remember, the vast majority of startups still fail outright.
That would probably be the easiest way to counteract Valve's near-monopoly. I know I don't want to have a dozen different store fronts with different interfaces, all demanding updates, all wanting to start on boot. I assume others feel similarly.

But if there was a single interface and all I had to do was add my credentials for store X? That's not so bad.

Statements like these should be contractually binding. It's far more effective communication than their actual contracts. And given that the only point of a contract is to solidify an agreement that two parties are knowledgeable of, it would seem that all public statements should be considered a part of said contract.
Can you please elaborate on this part "just use cookies (Do not use jwt)". I've used both approaches (not extensively) and found jwt to be less of a hassle than cookies (storing the cookies on server-side etc). Are there any security vulnerabilities or other issues with using JWT?

> I believe it still may be possible to find these unknown polynomial factors by migrating some of the polynomial terms through redistribution of higher value terms and/or performing some sort of hard search.

You start with a fairly obvious representation of the integer as a polynomial. If that doesn't give you some sort of factorisation, then any information that allows you a better guess at a factorable polynomial is also information that helps you outright factor the original number.

Anyone should pretty much assume that AI means poorly paid humans being masqueraded as computers similar to the midget in the mechanical turk. There are just too many outliers in the real world for AI to work in all cases and start ups will be using humans to augment, train or just pretend to be algorithms for some time to come.
Business partners are not family, sure.

On the other hand, you could easily argue that almost everything is "just business". The doctor is there to treat you, not care about you, your boss is there to extract labor from you, not care about you, your child's teacher is there to impart knowledge, not care about her.

Such black-and-white separation of concerns doesn't really fit well with being human, IMO. In most of these cases we want something less than intimacy but more than indifference.
It has improved a lot in that time and I find it decent to work with now that there's decent dependency management with Composer and a good Rails-like framework in Laravel.

Being significantly overweight is really tough. Body issues and shame make it so much harder. I wish people would understand that better. There’s a pretty nasty cycle of looking in the mirror, feeling like shit, eating to not feel like shit (the key problem step - note that it never actually works), looking and feeling like shit because you eat too much.

I’ve lost 70 pounds in the last ~7 months. 50 pounds to go. I’m successful for the first time because I’ve gotten over my image issues, I’ve accepted that losing weight necessarily involves being hungry at least some of the time, and I had a ‘spiritual’ experience.

They’re damn right that it gets harder to lose weight every time you do. My metabolism is miraculously “efficient”. The insight is that you have to accept that and eat to the amount that hits your goals, not try to find some miracle diet.

Also, IME, exercise makes me hungry for more calories than I burn. Exercise to get healthy, treat the metabolism boost as a bonus. Exercise does not cancel out foods (this is speaking to fat people like me - if you’ve been skinny your whole life your body probably works differently).

How do you measure "content" in this evaluation?

Asking for real, because I played WoW, and if I compare the detail, complexity and variety of the content in Destiny to what you get in WoW, factoring in the price difference, I am not sure I agree that it's less..

As someone who is satisfied with the value I get out of Destiny, I am genuinely curious to hear what you feel is missing for your personal enjoyment of the game..

What would they have to provide for you to feel that the cost is worth it?
I'm not arguing that there isn't new knowledge to be gained, but rather there is no magic pill and the fundamentals: progressive overload, rest, balance, etc. (see my other comments in this thread) haven't changed. I believe these fundamentals are the most important. I believe that we have certainly made advances at the margins but they are orders of magnitude less important, unless one is competing at the highest levels.

Basically I'm saying you can get all the exercise you need for general health given a landscape with varied terrain and some imagination; or a barbell, weights, and cage (which will cost <$1000 and last for 20 years); or with other basic tools like gymnastics rings. We don't need fitness fads---but people like them for various reasons. And that's fine.

Right, the clock starts ticking when they make the TOS violation public knowledge, not when they privately confer about it, because it is only when it is public that how wide they are interpreting the TOS violation and how it may affect everyone else can be seen, including whether or not they plan to enforce it equally (which can be a determiner in courts if the TOS is enforceable at all if they are only picking and choosing violations per whim as opposed to equally enforcing all of them they become aware of, though IANAL).

Even from Improbable's standpoint it made at least some sense for them to assume it was just personal bullying until the very minute Unity made it a public issue.

None of the sources in that link seem to include unfunded defined benefit and other post retirement employment benefits as debt, which they are.

Percentage of taxes going towards paying debt service including benefits for retired government employees is going to far outpace increase in incomes for NJ/CT/IL. Plus they have a lot of infrastructure debt to pay.

They're not the worst states to live in, especially if you're making a high income from NYC or Chicago and need a suburb to live in, but for 90% of people there's probably a place they can get more bang for their buck tax wise in the long run.

Caving used to be called compromise. The current political environment doesn't allow for compromise or changing your mind in light of new, better information. In science that would be the standard. In politics that's called "flip-flopping".
It's almost always a better idea to create something new, verify it was created successfully, do any syncing, switchover, optionally re-check for correct syncing, and then delete or take down original. That's pretty much how robust clustering works.

Very cool.

One idea that would be cool to see is a repeat of the video where the number of ‘harmonics’ is clipped.

Eg, show the video with only the first 5 circle components. Then the first 10, the first 15, and so on.

Will see the drawing approach the final image, and get the idea the low-freq harmonics do the bulk of the work but high-freq ones give the small details to make the hand a hand.

I agree with yours as well. But to add to that: there are VC startups that are fun and exciting to work at and there are ones that are horrible. And the same goes for big companies btw. Overall though, the chance of finding more freedom and excitement is with small VC startups, sure.

The employees that can jump ship quickly are the good performers that also live somewhere with ample opportunity. Those also are rarer than the average Joe Dev.

I'm not saying it's always a really bad dicision to join a VC funded startup. But in the majority of cases, people would probably be better off not to - at least financially. Of course (and luckily) there are more factors than that.
I'd like to point out that you're responding to me as if you assume I have no to little experience with this law and its consequences for organizations. That's not a reasonable assumption - my post is speaking from organizational experience. You're not talking to some outsider of all of this.

If you have specific problems with GDPR or that it goes too far, I'd like to know what those specific aspects are. In my view, there's some basic rules on how to deal with personal data that the GDPR codifies, and it does that surprisingly (for the EU) reasonably. It starts from simple principles of citizen rights and ethical behaviour and writes a complete rulebook on how to apply them - that's my definition of a good job.

It might be difficult for business to adapt to actually now considering processing personal data a risk. But that by itself does not make GDPR "overregulation" - that just makes it a difficult regulation change to process. I won't shed a tear about business having a difficult time going through that process - I'm incredibly happy that they are forced to consider processing personal data a risk, because it is.

Also note I specifically said "Websites that don't want to comply with GDPR" - not "Companies that are not sure they can comply with GDPR yet". There's a reasonable difference, I agree. But, yes, if you find that your business intrinsically cannot comply with GDPR or you don't want to - it's time to take a good hard look in the mirror.

Abuse of this commonly held notion is what has driven my family apart to make this answer clearer - anyone that abuses familial ties for money is not family.

I think exercise for weight loss/management isn't going to be a good idea for the vast majority of people. As you said, you get hungrier when you burn those calories and it's very easy to spend five minutes and eat all the calories you burned working out for an hour.
What if employees were offered a substantial degree of choice in which projects they're assigned to. At that point, risky projects would need to have commensurate rewards attached. Does this solve the problem?

Valve, for example, seems to take this sort of approach, and while it's not without criticism, it seems to work okay for some people.
I would agree with all of this. I'm a first employee and I have had a huge amount of influence, responsibility, and flexibility over the years— I could easily walk to multiple other opportunities for 1.5-2x salary at this point, and having the option to do that is actually worth more to me than the cash gained from actually doing it. The career growth that has made this possible wouldn't have happened working at BigCo.

As far as I can tell, the biggest issue with most early employees is not being able to exercise your stock options— the ones that vest first you can't afford, and by the time the later ones vest, the tax bill would be too great. So if you want to leave before an exit, you're either walking from your options, bank-financing it, cutting some kind of side deal with a VC to finance it, or working out a deal with the board to buy you out over time.
Well it's more that the noise may be in the data already... so you use that in lieu of randomization... since the noise is by definition random. You are assuming that the causal factor noisiness is different than the affected variable.
> no matter how much we try, exercising and eating less won't work

How can that be? If you burn more calories and you take in less calories, then surely at some point your body must start to lose mass. At very least is the equation that you're breathing out carbon and you're not getting that mass back from anything apart from what you eat.

Sure, but why was the NDA not signed? Fear that the big guy would screw over the little guy, inability to tell normal behavior from exploitative. The Kildalls were entering a foreign culture (not by nationality, but by corporateness/class) and blundered. The person who was more at home with the culture then got the deal, despite not even having a product. That's exactly how the family advantage works, not some comically evil "sorry you are not from a sufficiently important family, no contract for you".
> the EU is trying to prevent Romania from doing it

Giving people in power broad discretion with the law and then counting on them being nice is a delicate strategy. It counts on every administration being benevolent.

> Romania could just have used another law or just made a new one to harass the press

There is a big difference between using the authority of the EU, through an EU regulation, and passing a domestic law to go after people you don't like.

More broadly, this argument can be made against any over-reaching law. Just because some hypothetical law could be bad doesn't make an ambiguous law granting widespread power to select bureaucrats okay.
None of these things are free. Doctors, teachers, schools, and income guarantees cost money, and that money has to come from somewhere (i.e. taxes).

The (unfortunate) reality is that for most people you either need a lot of savings or an investor to get a company off the ground [1]. I am skeptical that free education or a $10k/year UBI would change that.

[1] One notable exception is companies that can be started on the side, but UBI would not affect those very much, either.
It does, you just made an illogical connection. I didn't say that companies who self-block must necessarily have antisocial business practices. I only said that GDPR is banning those practices. I also said that companies have a choice between removing themselves from European market or adjusting their business model to be compliant.
