Maybe I'm starting to show grandpa syndrome, but I tend towards getting news from public channels/radio here. The amount of click bait articles that's in ad-based sources are just astonishing.

Trying to keep the head space clean, and there is only so much time at my disposal with caring for a family.

So at the same time I got pissed about how much deps sites rely on, I discovered that there wasn't much to miss either. It's like dropping facebook, just a relief. To be fair I'm talking about news outlets mainly.

I was there when we had the BBS with dial-up modems. HTML was sweet, but it got quite boring when it faced reality. It's easy for people to share now, but just how easy can it be for people to care about what they share and how? (Like caring about how much tracking there is etc.)

My wife and I strongly disagree, she lives in the real world and actually like how well she can communicate and I'm just overwhelmed instead and care about the technicalities.
Yeah, the problem is no easy to understand direct mapping. Joy isn't the best word, but that's just language for you.

I guess in a sense it's characterized by a positive, visceral reaction. But that's not a very marketable description.
Remember when Google (via G+) required YouTube comments to use their real name? It did not improve the tone of the comments. Or how Facebook comments on articles are rarely free from trolling.

Real names may stop some people from trolling but there seem to be an abundance of people willing to put their name to it.
That isn't Africa-specific. They're doing the same in Europe outside of the EU.

This ain't the 1800s. The vast majority of Chinese citizens who have finished elementary school are able to recognize at least 2000 characters. Knowing how to read and write Hanzi is no longer an indication of "intelligence" or "elite status". In Japan, maybe, but their language is completely different.

In case you've missed the last half-century, there has already been two Chinese written language reforms (though the second one didn't stick). It's called Simplified Chinese.

The rationale in your comment is absolutely bizarre and it reeks of arrogance with a side sprinkle of ignorance.
This is not always the case, as was shown in the history of Belgium and Brussels (and still is).

If you learn the other people's language, you will communicate in their language. If you are inside a company with mixed languages, that company will be run in the language of the people that do not speak the other language.

As you know, companies are highly political, and if you are missing all the nuances of a language because you are not a native speaker, your chances of taking a good position within that company will be lower.

This is exactly what I saw in a company in Brussels when I worked there. All help-desk operators were Flemish, because they are bilingual in Dutch and French (and English of course). Management were all native French speaking, unable to communicate in Dutch. My direct manager, who was Flemish, had a hard time covering his own ass in this political environment, because of the foreign language nuances.

So in effect, the ones who don't speak the other persons language have the benefit.
It seems his little brother understands how to properly scope a project while learning, and seems to have a decent handle on game mechanics design.

I'm super impressed, despite (and because of?) how simple it looks.
Are you saying that nobody should ever criticize an organization that they are not forced to join?
I would totally avoid the writing system if learning Chinese fresh. Study the language for a year, and if you want to stick with it at that point, then start learning characters. Otherwise it is just a futile waste of memory and time

> Now,if every housing unit (not property) were assessed a $2600/mo tax, would that drive sale prices down? Maybe. Would it drive up incomes and make businesses thrive? Well, it would increase the income of people living in SF (excluding the homeless) by driving lower income people out even more than the status quo does. But it wouldn't cause incomes for the same people to rise. But, also, that's not a land tax.

You are correct, incidence is not the same of property vs land. Land is preferrable becuase the 2mill single family hosuehold that takes the same space than the 5 mill 9 unit apt gets more tax benefits.

You also have the added difficulty that prop taxes are capped. But land taxes aren't. In any case, shifting the burden from consumers, workers and businesses to landlords will inevitable drop the propery values enormously, regardless of the tax scheme implemented. They are today tax-positive. Even if you only do half the tax burden, it would be enough change incentives profoundly.
It’s hard to do that without spoiling the plot. Milestones should also be flexible. Strahd has more milestones than you need to reach the stated end level of the campaign. It’s a sandbox so some of them won’t get done, some will be done after the party has outscaled the encounter, some are coupled to plot reveals. But it’s not hard to manage.

He didn't demonstrate it in real hardware without outside power and ground

Are you sure about this? The writeup says (emphasis added):

---

My FPGA proof of concept implant is a little larger than the passive resistor component we would want to hide it in, although that is not a significant limitation. Thanks to Moore's Law, an entire ARM Cortex M0+ CPU could fit in the space used by two transistors on the 6502 CPU". The 1.2mm^2 of a 0603 is significantly larger than necessary to fit a fairly complex CPU and ASIC, along with some of the passive components necessary to make it work in the difficult environment of this implant.

Normally the SPI bus requires six connections to function, but the implant has only part of a single one. It doesn't connect to power or ground, so it must be parasitically powered by the current flowing from the SPI flash to the BMC during normal operation (similar to the RFID CPUs that have enough capacitance to run even when they are shorting the antenna coil).

---

I'd like to think that you are wrong, and that the implant was (as described) a hardware proof of concept without outside power and ground. But if you are correct, this would seem to make the writeup so intentionally misleading as to not be worth further consideration.

Ok, I guess we’re not going to end this amicably after all....

1. You call me an asshole and insult me in nearly ever post then finally say I need to work on my people skills? Don’t you think that’s at least a little hypocritical?

2. I’m being pedantic when I’m correcting a point you’re making but you’re not pedantic when you attempt to correct other people? Again, you’re being a massive hypocrite.

3. I wasn’t the one making assumptions. I’ve backed up my points with plenty of counter examples. Like I keep saying, I have experience in the field.

I’m genuinely not trying to be an arse; I just don’t appreciate someone lecturing me with misinformation on a topic I’m well versed on. And then throwing your toys out of the pram when i dare correct you is an equally special move.
With a 10 year gap in my resume I'll probably have to take whatever comes. Ideally it would something analytical, with numbers, where I can learn a lot (I went to a high school with focus on Math and I have a Master's in Management). I don't really care about the salary. I know a bit of PHP and I am currently starting to learn Python.

I worked as a technical documentarist in the past and also in a managerial (non-technical) role for an online bookmaker. During the first three years of my pro betting career I also launched my own online sportsbook but that project failed miserably. Maybe I can use that to partially explain the huge gap but I am still undecided.
From the number of this-is-helpfuls and comments, I assume people did notice.

Hey Vince

I think we agree with you regarding the inspiration that Chan brings to his people.

There is more than inspiration, sweat, tears, and blood that plays the part of viral success as Chan has achieved. Luck and opportunity are the missing pieces.

The phrase "if Chan can do it then anyone can" is victim to survivorship bias (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivorship_bias)

To conclude: Chan achieved awesome things, he's an inspiration, it's good for others to strive for success, success is not determined on hard work alone.

You also see people moving away because the switching costs become worth it at those prices.

"Would you leave all your friends, family, coworkers, and local knowledge behind for $50K?" is a hard sell. For $500K some people would consider it, but lots more wouldn't. For $1M and suddenly people might be like "Y'know, starting over in a new location is a pain in the ass, but a million bucks is a lot of money." Plus a lot of the big tech companies will let you relocate to satellite offices and keep your job if you've had several years tenure with them.

Anyone who has been through a bad divorce, as a spouse, child or friend of a spouse will know what it means. It’s the difference between trying to find a way to change a relationship in a way that allows for it to continue, and something acrimonious. A lot of divorces are pretty ugly, often involving infidelity, loss of interest or financial troubles. Sometimes though, people just find that they’ve (to use a popular metaphor) grown apart. Two and a half decades brings a lot of life experience and change to a person, and it can be that a couple finds they’re no longer romantically compatible even if they still love each other.

I take this statement then to mean, at face value, that this is a mutual decision being made after attempts to salvage the relationship have indicated a need for change. Of course people also lie to put the best spin on things, but in this context I can only speak to the statement itself, not its veracity.
I read the comment back then because it actually got a lot of attention. Read the book too, and appreciated it shedding some light on Bezos who - especially at the time - was not nearly as well known as some other tech bigwigs like Gates and Jobs.
Ep.01 – A Tech Overview – React, React Native and Firebase
This doesn't require multiple cameras at all. It requires multiple (>1) photos of the same subject/setting from slightly different angles. If you have a subject that is moving fast you need a higher shutter speed and a quick succession of photos in order to build this but it's doable. But as you allude to ideally you could take the photos precisely at the same time using multiple cameras. It's really not that much unlike how The Matrix effect was done really.
Dimitri, you've obviously looked into Red in some depth, which is appreciated. And your comments and criticisms have been heard. It's easy for miscommunication to occur in chat like this, so we can probably close this particular thread of conversation, as I don't think it's productive anymore. As much as I now want to chime in to defend our position, it wouldn't help. You make valid points, but comparisons with other projects are hard.

If you don't like Red, or how the project is being managed or progressing, that's fine. Sharing what you've learned is also great, as long as others can form their own opinions from facts presented (again, hard to present deep info in chat). All we ask is that you try to be fair, and think about how harmful negative press can be to a project. When you've put a huge amount of time and effort into something you believe in deeply, it's easy to get defensive when someone criticizes it (in ways that may seem unfair).

How things are said is important, as well as balancing pros and cons. In re-reading the chat, I admit that I got defensive, which is why I didn't respond initially.

In conclusion, can we do better? Yes, of course. Is much of the code written by a very small core, who knows the system well, and isn't writing it with the expectation that others will read and learn from it? Yes. Can we do better on testing? Yes. Do we already have more than 30'000 tests? Yes. Are those core devs pretty darned amazing, considering what they've built (insert feature list here :^)? You bet they are.

Red isn't for everyone. Our approach won't be to everyone's liking. But we hope people will be fair, wish us luck, and maybe even applaud us for trying to build something that will make their lives better. At the very least, we hope they won't talk us down unfairly.
I've seen this divorce story posted, flagged, and taken down from the front page maybe 3-4 times now. And rightly so: it's a private matter that seems out of place on an aggregator for tech news. The level of discourse in those flagged submissions never rose above the level of a TMZ gossip column.

Dragging this submission out and using it as a pretext to discuss the divorce just seems perverse.
Norway has public tax records. This is one of the potential flaws of an otherwise, kinda cool openness. You can't be rich and have a 'normal' life. You have money in Norway, you have to have walls, staff, etc. just to have a bit of safety.
> Bilingual speakers tend to have a smaller vocabularies in each individual language than monolingual speakers

Do you have any citations to support this? From the research I have read (and my own anecdotal experience) this is not necessarily the case, especially when taking into account the bilingual speakers' dominant language.

See e.g.

Pearson et al. (1993). Lexical Development in Bilingual Infants and Toddlers: Comparison to Monolingual Norms.

Allman (2005). Vocabulary Size and Accuracy of Monolingual and Bilingual Preschool Children. – although note the difference in English vs Spanish vocabulary scores for monolingual vs bilingual speakers.

I think it's mostly a Facebook hit piece.

And actually since back then Facebook apps have become easier to disable on most Android phones. Used to be that you couldn't delete them nor disable them on most phones. Nowadays is usually possible to disable the apps, and they are usually just stubs, so their impact is minimal to null.

Still would rather not that have them shipped, but when it comes to bloatware I'd say Google was a much bigger culprit.

Well, there's no arrow on the diagram connecting "Austrian Economics" with "Modern Mainstream Economics", so the diagram doesn't really make them look all that important.
The chart is also extremely lacking on the Marxian front, and also on the Post-Keynesian and Sraffian fronts. It's laughable that the only descendant of Marx's line of thought is a non-Marxist, Joan Robinson. Paul Samuelson is included but there's nothing of the debates with him from the Sraffian and Marxist schools. There's no mention of the Japanese Marxists, either.

I don't know if the fact that Marx's line connects to Malthus rather than the whole box for the classical school means anything, but if it should be connected to anyone in that box, it should be connected to Ricardo, not Malthus.

It's an admirable attempt, but the chart is lacking in at least one area I can identify, so it could easily be lacking or outright wrong in others.
Exactly. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

You echo the article's conclusion. You agree with its main idea.

> This article reviews how Chan downplays the hardships he was forced to endure (e.g. being essentially sold by his parents as an indentured servant when he was seven years old, complete with beatings and dismal living conditions) and instead chooses to focus on the end result, his success as an adult."

You now summarize the article. Can you not see how someone would feel that you agreed with the author?

> I've no idea what the article's author thinks, but you may have surmised I think the cost was too much

The author makes it very clear how he feels. It's pretty disingenuous for anyone who's read the article to say that.
