The summary is that we're addicted to debt, and I surely agree. But that means we should be even more vigilant to avoid advancing further in the ratchet!

Why should individuals just ideologically accept this regime, rationalizing justifications to further speed up the debt treadmill as actually benefiting us somehow? We're just all supposed to accept living in a negative-sum container, where the financial class gradually takes title to more and more real property as interest compounds? Until the abstraction no longer holds, we get an economic collapse, and then we get to fight and eat one another while the fiction unwinds?

I guess this is just the standard shape US politics take. The bankers buy both candidates and then the voters get to cheer for their preferred window dressing to win - more bread or more circuses. I'd personally rather get my tribe-kicks from watching professional sportsball, and keep my political head screwed on straight.

"Create your own software X but don't use it".

The reasons provided - actually, one reason - is that whenever you need another feature (the second reason provided is the ability to run on another platform) it's easier to just use whatever is there already in the existing software rather than making that feature yourself.

This is a pretty general problem of writing your own parts or taking external pieces, often called "dependencies".

There are problems (and benefits) with those external pieces, not mentioned in the article - cost of learning (vs. cost of creating), cost of bugs (you usually know bugs in your code better), ability to fix bugs (sometimes external teams take forever to do that...), weight of features which you don't need but which exist anyway in the external software (that code takes space, time and sometimes require you to work with that a certain way when you'd maybe prefer another)...

I fully agree that educational value of creating such a system from scratch is quite significant though.
BBC: Technology in deep time: How it evolves alongside us
Most answers you're getting here are on the responsible side i.e. Bogleheads-like. Your question makes it feel like you're ready for some extra risk and I am assuming these 5k aren't your entire savings.

- Wefunder allows you to invest in companies with small amount. Find something really promising there.

- Spend time researching small-cap companies in the $1-$5 range and invest 1K where metrics and fundamentals seem to line up for you. It can be almost like angel-funding but a bit more proven.

- Learn about derivatives and buy Options calls above the current stock price for something you feel will go up significantly in the public markets. This allows you to leverage huge gains from a small amount of capital. In the worst case you end up with nothing. This is an interesting time due to the recent bear market and there are many many stocks ready to go up given the right macro triggers.

Note that selling Options is dangerous and don't do that unless you're an expert - that can land you in big trouble. Leave that for https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets :)

- Ride strong momentum and trends for smaller companies that have good fundamentals - momentum can be a strong and proven factor for many investments in the public market. I'd plug my own project [0] that's designed to detect low-volatility trends and momentum across the entire market. It's soon going to be in Alpha.

- There are many leveraged ETFs in all directions of the market for different segments - they give outsized returns for market moves of all different kinds. You can speculate and get outsized gains (or losses). Again higher risk.

- There is still plenty of money to be made in the ICO market even in this environment by riding momentum, and it's perfect for smaller amounts due to lower volume involved. Many tokens keep on returning outsized gains all the time. If you have the inclination, you can look into that. Here are some examples from my project: https://i.imgur.com/N4H3pka.png

- https://www.reddit.com/r/weedstocks/

- I can give you many more ideas but they start getting a bit too speculative and into the realm of gambling.

Open-sourcing Spectrum 1.0.0 for mobile image uploads
For others looking for ways to monetize open source, we’ve learned at Ionic that many enterprises aren’t just looking to buy a premium version of your OSS project, they want your help solving (with software) a ton of related challenges around the technology/space, too.

The big money is in doing those things too and not just being one small piece of the puzzle. So, for us, that means helping teams be successful with app development in general using our software/tech in the process (i.e. scalable software product on a yearly subscription and the same as sold to other customers, not custom development).

If you want to go down that route, get ready to have excellent support and be willing to be seen as an expert that your customers are going to call upon. But support is tablestakes for B2B so that comes with the territory.

Of course, this is no small leap. Going from having a successful open source project to building an enterprise business around it is really hard and took a lot longer than I expected. Looking back I wish we spent a little less time worrying about GitHub stars and more about solving enterprise problems, but we made it through!

Of course this is just one way to monetize and I’m also excited about the growing OSS sustainability offerings out there, like Tidelift

16MB is >10x more than Red (batteries included) and also Red takes different approach to GUI - it's platform independent but with OS widgets - so it ages with OS, unlike custom solution.

However, GUI is not the main point of Red, just a part of it. IMO the really special thing is it's ability to create and use dialects (DSLs) very easily, so the 1 MB package can handle tasks from device drivers, through GUI, to natural language processing, with specialized dialects (DSLs).

Huh? A scalar is very specifically a field element by definition. This is why it's important to specify the field you're working with when you talk about a vector space - a scalar is not going to be a real or a complex if your field isn't R or C.

If you've seen someone define a scalar as a real number, that's really only because they're informally stating their underlying field is R.

Start with HTML for sure. IMO, just a bit of CSS unless you are pretty good at designs because CSS will cause pain soon.

During learning HTML, learn those <form>, <input>, <submit> once you think "so what's next?" with normal presentation. This will lead to "Web Application" once you're comfortable with "Web site" development.

Learn basic backend stuff (the server where it responses requests from browser e.g. Chrome, Firefox). Ruby on Rails is the right framework for many reasons (developer friendly (short-term at least!, more jobs in the market etc)

The first thing you will learn on backend is likely a simple "blog" application. After that I think you're good at learn how to learn.

Small Functions Considered Harmful
Everything you've said is true, but circling back to the example given, we still can't choose a scalar 1/n for integral n. Yes the integers are a ring, and yes you can define a module over a ring which generalizes a vector space.

But the point being spoken to here is that the explanation is backwards: you can't choose 1/n from Z. Therefore you can't use it as a scalar, so you'd never even break closure in the vector space. The hypothesis doesn't work before you can engage that contradiction.

Will this cause problems with "links" that are entirely rendered on the client side? i.e. using something like react-router... In that case, could it result in the react app setting invalid state because it thinks the user is on a page when it's not?

My guess is what would happen when "pre-fetching" a react-router link, is that it would prefetch the JS bundle all over again for no gain.

What app monetization strategies do you think work best?
I have a few apps on the App Store all free and considering putting out a new one that I would want some revenue from.

I see this trend as a reaction to the rise of what David Graeber calls "bullshit jobs" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullshit_Jobs).

Look at the jobs that people like to simulate: pilot, driver, farmer, heavy machinery operator, emergency responder (police/fireman), etc. What do these jobs all have in common? They're jobs where you can do something, usually with your hands, and immediately see what you did impact the world. That direct connection to outcomes is the opposite of the weird futility that permeates the bullshit job. Getting back to it is what the simulator player is really after, the truck or tractor or whatever is just set dressing.

(For bonus points, consider the jobs that are popular to simulate in the context of Marx's theory of alienation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marx%27s_theory_of_alienation)
quality score has nothing to do with organic results.
Totally different question, which is itself a nasty rhetorical trick - but also yes.

You switched the topic from receiving for personal use to distributing. Demand promotes supply, I'm not unaware, but that doesn't make them equivalent - unless we'd like to equate drugdealing with possession, and scalping with buying a secondhand concert ticket? You also escalated from 'distribution' like burning a CD for a friend to invading someone's computer and publicizing a nonpublic work. This is the same sort of dodge the RIAA has been using for years, pursuing downloads and uploads indifferently and targeting private, unpaid sharing with laws aimed at systematic, for-profit fraud.

But even ignoring every part of that, yes. It's still a rhetorical trick. Theft is, by legal, dictionary, and common-use definitions, an act that deprives the victim of the stolen property. Stealing King's manuscript off his editor's desk would be theft. Copying the book would be a lot of things, like a real CFAA violation, probably either B&E or wire fraud, and debatably trespass to chattels. Posting it online would prompt another list of crimes and civil suits relating to the potential monetary harm to King.

I'm not excusing all acts described as 'piracy' or 'theft'. I'm saying that the label actually matters, and the discussion is harmed by applying law and rhetoric about deprivation to an act of duplication.

I suppose. All I'm getting at is that since Z doesn't contain 1/n for integral n, you wouldn't be able to use it as a scalar in the first place. So if you extrapolate from there, you have to choose a different route to show that defining the vector space doesn't work because you can't trigger the contradiction that fails scalar multiplicative closure.
(2004)

Adopted a similar pattern recently on a project, results aren't fully in yet, but it looks like it might work.

However, while I understand the reluctance about rewrites, in my personal experience they have actually been very successful.

So beware the absolutes. Always beware the absolutes ;-)
>A working definition of a space might be - you have a member in that space, you can get to every other member by just scalar mult.

Isn't this a 1 dimensional space. Eg. Consider the vector space R2 over R.

If you have the vector (1,0), there is no way to arrive at the vector (1,1) through just scalar multiplication.
It is, and I don't do it often but this was really bad.

Reminds me of back when I was studying economics; I read an article by a prominent economist, Samuelson I think, about how to get the benefits of diversification when buying stocks. He said that you could reasonably expect to get pretty near market returns by buying 5 stocks. Now, an investment guru will probably get you into well more than 5 funds, each of which will hold dozens or hundreds of stocks. The benefits of such attempts at diversity are low, good chance if you diversify into 5 of any class of investment offered to the public, you will get close to typical of that class.

Of course, investment != stock, but don't speculate on pork bellies if you do not know to which end of a hog one talks.

It is more nuanced than that: RavenDB seems OK to use if you have an application that shields its users completely from the database itself. The database server is AGPL, but the client library your application uses is MIT licensed, which is fairly liberal. If you were to directly embed RabenDB in a product, you would have to provide the full source, even if you run it as a service and don't distribute binaries of the software.

You could test your local drain hypothesis pretty easily. Turn on voice activation of e.g. Google on an Android. This means your device is now listening to and analyzing every word to see if it ever recognizes 'Okay Google'. If your theory is correct you'd notice a substantial battery drain compared to having this functionality disabled. I'm going to guess you will notice basically nothing. The nice thing about neural network driven systems is that while they are very resource intensive to build, once built they are (generally) extremely resource friendly. And training a network to recognize one of a wide array of terms would be no more difficult than training one to recognize Okay Google. And the best thing is that false hits don't really matter that much, if you assume the only motivation is advertising.

Though, for what it's worth, my bet would be on exfiltration of the data instead of local analysis. Put the shoe on the other foot. Imagine your goal is to exfiltrate data from a device in a covert fashion. You can come up with countless clever ways starting at the most low level with extreme compression. All that matters is that what is said can be recovered - it doesn't need to sound pleasant, or even intelligible as long as another system can reconstruct the speech (even if at great computational expense) from what you send. And from there you can come up with all sorts of clever ideas such as only sending the data during other normal transmissions.
