Josh Waitzkin talks about this. Unfortunately he doesn't seem to produce much public work anymore. This is from a Tim Ferriss Interview [1]:

And a lot of what I work on with guys is creating rhythms in their life that really
are based on feeding the unconscious mind, which is the wellspring of creativity
information and then tapping it. So for example, ending the workday with high
quality focus on a certain area of complexity where you can use an insight and
then waking up first thing in the morning creating input and applying your mind
to it, journaling on it.
Not so much to do a big brainstorm, but to tap what you've been working on
unconsciously overnight. Which of course, is a principle that Hemingway wrote
about when he spoke about the two core principles in his creative writing
process, number one ending the workday with something left to write and --
Tim Ferriss: Yeah, often in mid-sentence even.
Josh Waitzkin: Right. So not doing everything he had to do. Which most people do, but they
feel this sense of guilt if they're not working. You and I have discussed this at
length, but leaving something left to write and then the second principle, release
your mind from it. Don't think about it all night. Really let go. Have a glass of
wine. Then wake up first thing in the morning and reapply your mind to it.
And it's amazing because you're basically feeding the mind complexity and then
tapping that complexity or tapping what you've done with it. This rhythm, the
large variation of it is overnight, and then you can have microbursts of it
throughout the day. Before workouts pose a question, do a workout, release
your mind after workout, return to it, and do creative bursts.
Before you go to the bathroom, before you go to lunch, before anything. And in
that way you're systematically training yourself to generate the crystallization
experience, that ah-ha moment that can happen once a month or once a year. A
lot of what I do is work on systems to help it happen once a day or four times a
day, and when we're talking about guys who run financial groups of $20 to $30
billion, for example, if they have a huge insight that can have unbelievable
value.
If you can really train people to get systematic about nurturing their creative
process, it's unbelievable what can happen and most of that work relates to
getting out of your own way. It's unloading. It's the constant practice of
subtraction, reducing friction.

I don't understand this sort of attitude that there is some kind of moral superiority to non-VC funded businesses. In this case, the onion guy used a ton of VC funded businesses like Google and Shopify to make his business possible in the first place. How can you call them "stupid" while holding him up as some kind of good ol' honest salt of the earth online onion man?
Certainly. What needs to change wholesale is the attitude. If we enforced the existing laws assiduously, we'd be halfway to solving the problem. I am fatalistic towards attempts to fix this with laws and taxes because we can't even keep the IRS sufficiently funded to enforce the tax law as it stands. Without a complete turn-around in the incentives in Congress, there's really very little actual laws seem to do.

It's not that laws are sometimes not enforced, it's that there's an entire echelon of lawbreaking in which the law is hardly ever enforced. Nobody worries about going to jail for engineering complex tax schemes designed to shield themselves from billions in tax obligations.

Perhaps the service being managed doesn't clean up after itself properly? It is a fairly common pattern for a program to ship without startup scripts, and then have startup scripts added by package maintainers.
I listened (again) to an Indiehackers podcast with Rob Walling this morning where he described pretty much that problem. He had "lots of" cash and "little" time to spend in building a business from scratch. What worked was to find a business he liked that wasn't making much money, but could be bought for cheap (he overpaid!) and turned into something that made money.

To respond to the "rent from investment property" concept, you can get in on investment properties at a fairly low price (IIRC 40% discounts) if you invest when builders are looking for prospective buyers. i.e., before anything is built. I looked into doing this some time ago, but the builder couldn't find enough buyers, so the property was never built.
See, the thing is, and why I wish we had more like the original Bill of Rights, was they weren't legalese. They were intentionally broad constructs that the courts could interpret to the modern day. I want a Constitutionally-protected "right to privacy", so that courts can determine how x, y, or z weighs against that right.

You're welcome. So now a more "technical" question for you. I grew up in Washington where we are home to the "walla walla onion" which is also a sweet onion. I am not a farmer, nor do I claim any level of expertise here. But I just am curious if you could explain the differences/similarities between a Vidalia Onion and a Walla Walla onion.
I'd actually rather that you keep them general (eg. just talk about clickthrough data or changing latency conditions) and don't credit my account. The past employer in question is relatively easy to lookup from my past comment history, and while there's nothing really confidential in the examples, stories about how they do things or how things go wrong tend to blow up in the news, and they like the publicity only when it's positive.
I'm just gonna say I wish this guy (Rich himself) records the talk he performed at our local Ruby meetup last week.

As important as a GraphQL alternative is at face value, he explained quite elegantly how he and his coworkers came to this solution. I do insist, like I did in person, that as a frustrated GraphQL noobie and fumbler with Prisma, I'm super glad to see alternative tools and mindsets and will being try it as soon as I have time for personal tinkering.

Even if hypothetically I didn't choose this with a clean slate over more popular GraphQL tools, he did a great job at placing deep technical architecture choices in the context of his philosophy and experience, Ruby and otherwise. Spraypaint also seems cool.

A pleasure to see you on HN, man.
I don't think so, although I can see where you might get that impression. There's a lot of nuance involved in this issue and once you delve a bit deeper into it you'll see that it definitely isn't NIMBYism at work.

Ultimately, it's about resource protection and making sure that places don't suffer too greatly from the impacts of having a huge surge in visitors after people see them on Instagram.

Perhaps the most ironic aspect of some of the criticism of being discrete about posting vulnerable outdoor locations on social media as being NIMBY or elitist is the fact that once places become super popular (Conundrum Hot Springs, wilderness areas near Portland, etc.) they almost inevitable end up becoming areas where permits are required and limited amounts are available-- thus actually limiting the number of people that can go there and making it more of an "elite" experience.

There is plenty of public land for everyone to spread out on and enjoy, but real issues arise when too many people go to the same exact place (and are often uninformed about how to properly interact with a natural landscape, because the only "research" they did was see a photo on Instagram and then plug the location into Google Maps on their smartphone).
> So all they'd need to do is compel the driver to chalk his own car?

The typical method along those lines is paying at a machine, getting a receipt, and posting the receipt visibly inside the windshield or the street side window, but, yes. This was about physical trespass for information without sufficient cause, not a right not to have parking time tracked.
Still no good if you’re trading carbon emissions for a lot more plastic in the environment. You cannot offset / undo plastics.
I mean that if you want to do something with e.g. python it is pretty easy to access what is good about python. You can make a script, make it "pythonic", use some modules and package it. And that sort represents a good, useful, python program.

With Erlang it is generally a lot harder to access what it is good at. Not only do you have to learn the language, which is a bit different, but things like how to configure and distribute the virtual machine, how the concepts of otp works and maybe even things like dialyzer.

I realize that I don't have to learn all that, but still the distance from writing a simple program to what is the unique features is still a lot longer. At least that is my impressions.

Right, I would contend that the threat model addressed by BPF is preventing trusted but buggy code from taking down the kernel, not protecting against malicious code.
A lot of people, myself included, commit things to memory through writing. A lot of good lectures go beyond the books, so content can easily be forgotten. I even took notes while reading the books, lest I forget what I read.

The average SS payment in the US right now is $1461/month = 17532/year [0]. SS is long term funded (by on going taxes) to about 75%, so $4383/year/person shortfall. $5k/year/person would more than cover THE ENTIRE SS shortfall since I am not arguing for repealing all other taxes, only additional tax on ultra wealthy.

Also, there are ~600 billionaires in the US, most of them however would pay $100M tax (and realistically numbers can be adjusted down by stretching over say 100k highest TC individuals rather than 11k like my original statement).

EU is composed of member states just like United States is composed of "united" states. The citizens of EU have equal rights.

There is hope the EU member states will get united one day as well but we are not there yet. Some want to have the cake and eat it too(i.e intelligence sharing but no data sharing, sovereignty and equal rights as well).

Currently the trend is to blame EU for anything like the EU would be an institution lead by states outside of the EU.
I used to listen to a radio show hosted by a law professor and iirc he said that airport security doesn't violate the privacy amendment because you don't have to fly. When you choose to fly you implicitly wave those rights. How is this different?

> why work so hard to earn so much in the first place?

Power.

A very comfortable lifestyle can be had for orders of magnitude less than $400M in wealth, so lifestyle isn't a motivation at that point.

Inheritances function kind of like insurance policies against an unpredictable future for your progeny. The more dangerous you think that future is for your children, the more likely you are to set aside as much as you can for them.

The father in this case seems to be confident that the future holds promise for his children, whether because he thinks they will get a fair chance, or because he raised them well, and that therefore they don't need a massive inheritance to live well.
Mark Aiken wrote a paper on Singularity with and and without Memory Protection:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/deconst...

By design, Singularity didn't support dynamic code loading so untrusted code would run in another software isolated process (SIP) and separated by a channel boundary (IPC). With Spectre, you'd need to rethink what happens with IPC to and fro the untrusted processes. The core of the system wouldn't need this though.

Singularity also looked to proof carrying code as a way of building reliable systems. Unfortunately, it'd be hard to prove there isn't a Spectre style attack lurking in a piece of code.

In Washington State, photographs of each ballot are taken as the ballot is removed from the envelope and after it has been electronically tabulated. This prevents someone from replacing a paper ballot along the way.

In Python, all data (even simple integers) are all allocated on the heap. ToPyObject makes a deep copy of everything, converting everything to `PyObject` on the heap, so all data is owned.

The numpy crate helps if you need to convert large arrays to Python, as numpy does not store every element separately on the heap.

Inequality stifles innovation because capialists have no reason to make production more efficient when labor is artificially cheap, as it is in Asia. Why build an automated factory to build the machines that build memory chips when little slave children can do the same thing for pennies? In this way, organized labor drives innovation under capitalism, because capitalists will seek to maintain and grow their profits in the face of rising labor prices.
Yep, I agree with you. There are "bigger picture" problems for us here.

It depends on how you define better. VNC may be faster, but it's just because X carries a lot of historical cruft, I believe. Usability-wise, X is more flexible. I can move individual windows between computers in X. I can't do that with VNC.

I wouldn't mind doing the jump to Wayland if it were as flexible as X, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I don't really understand. I don't think most people find chalk on their tire objectionable, except in the case that the chalk is used as evidence to ticket them. This is clearly what happened here. It seems like you're advocating that we solve a problem that for most people doesn't exist…
>Traffic stops are not limited to 20 minutes. They are limited to the time reasonably necessary to conclude the traffic stop and either release the driver or, with probable cause, escalate to investigation and/or arrest. Delays of far less than 20 minutes for the purpose of generating probable cause through drug dogs have been found illegal:

Yes, I know. I was referring to the valid version of it that references 20 minutes to establish that duration matters in terms of whether the intrusion is justified -- i.e. the charitable interpretation you use to ensure a responsive discussion.

>DUI checkpoints were found by the Supreme Court to be a specific instance of permissible intrusion in service of the public good, as the benefits of the theoretically-impermissible search outweigh the trivial, short-term intrusion

Yep, exactly the argument I was making here.

Again, you're just being pedantic while agreeing with the substance of what I said. That isn't productive.
> In fact, if that was a valid argument, it would be for C++ not having a standard library at all

Putting aside the continuum fallacy, it's easy to understand how the C++ would be better served by having access to a collection of third-party components instead of repeating C's and even Java's mistakes.

The Boost project is a very good example, so as the wealth of JSON and XML parsers.

In fact, this lesson is so blatantly obvious that essentially all mainstream programming languages simply adopt official package managers and leave it to the community to develop and adop the components they prefer.
Yeah, this does seem like someone getting away with antisocial behavior.

The thing about the US legal system (and other systems derived from English law) though, is that legal rulings aren’t only about the particular case — they establish general principles that will be applied in a variety of future cases.

So, if they’re doing their jobs properly, judges should not be thinking of how sympathetic a particular party in a particular case is.

One famous example of this is Ernesto Miranda, by all accounts a horrible monster (murderer and rapist). The Supreme Court rightly ignored the distasteful nature of the particular individual, and threw out his confession as having been illegally obtained. That’s why we have what are now called Miranda rights, something practically every liberal can agree is a good thing.

(Tangent: in case you were wondering, Ernesto Miranda was still convicted, in the end. The evidence against him was strong enough even without the illegally-obtained confession.)
Perhaps they can chalk the curb instead? 'Bracket' the tire(s) with marks on the curb, and a "code" indicating where the valve stem
no kidding, here was the first negotiation. I'm at the shed, in the front office with the farmer. We talk about whether this could work. We realize it might. I then bring up how to split money. From my side, it seemed fair to pay him more, so I suggested they keep 60% of profit, and I keep 40%. He nodded, and agreed. So we went with that. We changed it slightly over the years, but it still falls around that range. You wanna know funny thing? UPS makes the most on the entire transaction (as we roll in shipping costs on all our orders).

Regardless of whether it's 1987 or 1993 that you want to date the beginning of SFI to, it's certainly the case that SFI is explicitly designed to protect against malicious code. CPU designers have had a long time to deal with that, and you didn't see them telling people not to do it back then.
