Goldman Sachs is obviously a “Wall Street” company because they are based in NYC and participate in the financial industry.

Amazon, Microsoft, Concur and Expedia are all headquartered in Washington State which is nowhere near Silicon Valley. Similarly IBM is headquartered in New York.

My question is what makes a company outside SV a “SV Company”. This usage of the term is new to me so I am attempting to get a more complete understanding of the meaning.
Einstein finalized his theory of relativity in 1916 and it was widely accepted in the physics community by the 20s. Additionally, Einstein was primarily a theorist (vs an empiricist) so while there was room for initial disagreement, the solar eclipse in 1919 offered evidence and majority opinion accepted the theory.

Climate change has both consensus and evidence. It seems irresponsible to keep spreading doubt in the face of both.
I haven't had a work provided laptop with with a decent screen in at least 10 years- 4:3 1600x1200 became 16:9, matte became glossy, and of course real keyboard keys became buttons.. so I get where this guy is coming from. Laptops now are great for streaming movies.
Definitely agree accessibility is important going into 2019. Different users are going to be viewing a site with more screen readers, dark theme, and other alternative viewing options, very much like we saw with mobilegeddon and the advent of responsive design. I've seen the argument that this hurts the "intended web experience", but this can be solved by keeping up with modern CSS practices and crafting the experience with screen readers in mind.

Good stuff, thank you for sharing.

> Both SICP and HTDP are from MIT.

HtDP is published by the MIT Press, but I'm not sure that's the same as saying it's "from MIT". None of the authors of HtDP are at MIT. One is at Northeastern, one at Northwestern, one at Utah, and one at Brown. Lots of CS books are published by MIT Press regardless of whether MIT actually makes use of the material.

Also, HtDP uses PLAI, a language implemented in Racket, which is not pure Scheme, but that's a pretty minor nitpick that doesn't really detract from your point. HtDP is a pretty good textbook, in my (admittedly limited) experience with it.
Spectrum plans 20% fee hike for local channels as pay-TV customers dwindle
Are you from the UK? The point is that between the UK and Ireland there is a CTA, common travel agreement. This means frictionless border crossing between the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. This was straightforward when both were EU members as the border didn't need to be policed for transfer of goods. If the UK leaves the EU then goods from the UK cannot just be moved into the Republic of Ireland if there is no join customs agreement. So now you have to introduce a hard border with the RoI which goes against the Good Friday Agreement. If you don't understand the relevance of the GFA then you should read up further on or and the Troubles that preceded it.

I used to spend hours and days designing ships for Elite, Carrier Command, and Starglider 2

In that case, the interpolation includes a vertical component as well. You'll see the effects of the lapse rate (change in temperature with height).

That's great for you, but it means that your forecast (of [my elevation, my coordinates]) is not much more accurate than one for ([my elevation, my coordinates plus a few hundred yards]).

More technically: "surface" isn't a smooth variable when elevation changes quickly, but interpolation like that performed by weather.gov necessarily works on smooth fields. Applying post-facto elevation is great and worthwhile, but it doesn't improve the accuracy in a technical sense.
"Years ago" I'm guessing
I know HN frowns on this sort of comment, but am perplexed by the downvotes here. Do people genuinely find an explanation of what Michael Young's book which coined the term was about objectionable or irrelevant?

I’m honestly struggling to understand how you apply SV to a company that is not physically from SV, or at least very nearby.
Many do, until an employee decides the number needs to be ported anyway. There is always an "override" feature / method to overcome these measures.

Telecoms are thin margin business and every human check or technical security measure will be rejected until customers start leaving, mentioning a particular issue. Problems with porting, S7 weaknesses, number spoofing and other anoyances is that you will be hard pressed to find an alternative operator that actually protects for these risks simply because they cost money and in the end only few customers are willing to pay the 10% a month extra.

I like you pointed it out.

Cold War has its own, counter-intuitive logic. It is governed by game theory.

If war is bad then why US invests so much in war machine? Well, probably because investing nothing is historically bad way of maintaining peace. You are just inviting a bully to come and take your toys.

Looking from this point of view isn't it strange that so many people treat Russia as villanous because it invests so much in their military (or it has been investing)? I really wonder why people think it is ok for US to militarize itself but for USSR or Russia to do that it is somehow bad. I, of course, intentionally omit what the country is doing with its power, it is one thing to have military and the other thing what are you using it for.

Now, if US sends its troops abroad to subject some country, is it so difficult to think that USSR may feel threathened? If the way to keep peace is to keep parity and one party is trying to upset the parity the other has no other choice than to respond.

This game has many paradoxes and I feel people have not enough willingness to look at some geo-political events through the lens of a longer game.

We may say we want to bring democracy to Venezuela but what Russia is seeing is their power slipping. Right now they have precious little friendly land close to mainland US and they have no prospects of gainging more. At the same time, US is expanding NATO with more and more countries close to Russia border. Why is it so difficult to figure out this makes them very uneasy? Wouldn't some kind of response be expected? Why would US be surprised by it?

Up until now the game was to keep parity and now the parity is slowly eroding away. This absolutely must cause a response from Russia because the theory says they have to fill the void some way. Electronic warfare? Hacking? Meddling in elections?

Each side wants, understandabl, to mobilize its population in this struggle and there is no better way than to paint the enemy as a villain. I just wish we keep healthy amount of population on all sides capable of seing through cheap propaganda.

Congratulations. I think the best gain from this aside from the learning experience itself is the fact that you cut down your expenses and learned that life is still good without spending a ton of money. I did this in my late 20s and did go back to work un-solo but, i kept the expenses low and managed to save a lot more. I am still happier with less now and I only spend when it is necessary. Good luck to you!

Résumé/CV: Email if needed

Email: kliment at 0xfb.com (yes, with a zero)

I do custom electronics, robotics, and embedded software development - I specialize in quickly turning ideas into prototypes. I've built custom automation equipment for chemistry labs, sensors that are in use in household/utility applications, control circuitry for construction equipment, 3d printing electronics, data acquisition equipment. No project too small. Few projects too large. Deep discounts for open source hardware work.

I would also be happy to come over (anywhere in Europe) and teach any of the above skills to a small group of interested people. I've taught courses in electronic assembly (SMD), 3d printing (building/using printers, iterative 3d model design using programming) and robot design and construction. I've taught courses at several universities, hackspaces, company events and conferences.
"Sweden and Norway are both Schengen members, so they have explicitly agreed on freedom of movement for people. That does not say anything about goods."

Exactly. And this is the same situation for Ireland & Northern Ireland, post-Brexit. The UK and Ireland have a Common Travel Area which guarantees the free movement of people, just like the Schengen agreement.

"they want to go it alone and not align their trade policies with the European partners?"

The UK wants to negotiate free trade with the EU, but to not be a member of the customs union. The advantage of this is that it allows the UK to make its own trade agreements with other third countries.

The main UK opposition party (Labour), however, does want the UK to remain a member of the customs union.
