Agree with your sadface apple 1 pencil.

The #2 pencil is so much better, I almost wished they would have skipped v.1...
Indeed, I tend to skip #3 during lectures so as to have more time on #2. I will generally work through problem sets (and/or essays/readings depending on the discipline) to consolidate this learning.
You care about your exact bills? You actually take the time to look at the serial numbers of all the bills you use in a given day/week/month/year? For what purpose?

I check for cool serial numbers fairly frequently but I couldn’t say I care about the exact bills. A five’s a five. That’s why currency is great.
Depends what your needs are, I guess? I always kept my foreign stuff pretty separate from my US stuff. By keeping an address in the US (relatives) I mostly just used US services as anyone else would.
Re: "we know what's best for you". We're talking about private companies offering people a free choice of an alternative to state monopoly money. Yes, Facebook has reach, but they're not the ones jailing people, etc. Even though I can't stand Facebook I think you have this backwards. (To the extent they succeed through dirty tricks, I'd be wrong about this.)

> there's also no doubt that being able to execute monetary policy is a huge advantage for any country.

I'm not confident about pretty much anything macroeconomic, but I do doubt the confidence of most talk about it. The U.S. was on the gold standard through the Industrial Revolution, for example.
I've been using them since at least 2002 --- but that was a service migration at their end, so the actual time would be longer than that.

Why is this post not getting more comments!? It's one of the most important dynamics driving innovation in technology.

On the one hand, the misconceived confidence of an unskilled newbie gives him/her the motivation to dive into the unknown, tackling difficult problems that others have tried and failed. But he/she does not know that. If the person is smart and persistent enough, there might be a chance of a breakthrough. I think there are plenty of examples in science and mathematics where a new perspective from an unknown scholar helps solve a hard problem.

On the other hand, the skilled people, knowing the particular problem is hard, won't bother to try. And the consequence is too much knowledge is a impediment to progress.
Will you actually be charged with theft?

If I don't pay my mortgage, I don't get charged with anything. What's the difference between lending money vs a car/camera etc? I guess it all comes down to intent, but intent is hard to prove.
I would say there was some people trying to understand. It just gets lost in all the people saying "Trump is evil! How could you be so stupid? You're all such idiots!" Those people are both more numerous (in my opinion) and closer to the microphones.

And of those trying to understand, some were trying to understand, and some were trying to understand how to get votes better.
I didn't renew my Dyn subscrition a few months ago, considering they had increased their pricing model and offered nothing new. And being owned by "evil" Oracle didn't help.

Today it's relatively easy to build a self-hosted dynamic DNS equivalent, e.g. https://github.com/dprandzioch/docker-ddns so I'm in the process of solving the issue like this.
After a year and a half of owning an Oculus Touch, replaying that intro is still more fun than any other experience I've had on it.
I think the original MS Flight Simulator was essentially a licensed version of subLOGIC Flight Simulator.

Side note: subLOGIC also made another combat-oriented one around that same time called Jet which I think used the same engine as MS FS and subLOGIC FS because all of them could use the same scenery disks as I recall...
I believe the term for that is "ERP software": Enterprise Resource Planning.

To save everyone the read, this is an explanation of Taleb's take on the "Lindy Effect"[1]. One-sentence explanation from the article:

"The controversial author Nassim Nicholas Taleb offers a counter-intuitive rule-of-thumb for answering questions like this. If you want to know how long something non-perishable will endure – that is, something not subject to the limits of a natural lifespan – then the first question you should ask is how long it has already existed. The older it is, the more likely it is to go on surviving."

Hey yeah, I worked for a SaaS company (about 100 people) about 15 years ago that was paying salesforce around $500k/yr. That said, it was probably worth it.
Well, I tend to spend a lot of my spare time noodling on what I think of as fundamental CS problems (what's the optimum radix for a min-heap? 3, I think, not 2), and I've spent a fair amount of time programming in languages like C where implementing mergesort from scratch is actually a practical thing to do. And I have a prejudice in favor of knowledge with a significant shelf life, like how mergesort works, rather than, say, how to work around the bugs in the latest version of React, which is also practically necessary for getting stuff done. So I might have a bias in favor of that kind of thing.

I certainly agree that mergesort is a lot harder than fizzbuzz, more than an order of magnitude. Fizzbuzz is well under a minute.

By far the biggest dark pattern on the web is javascript.

Enabling javscript in your browser (which is what almost all browsers do by default) opens you up to all sorts of tracking, hacking, spying, and advertising (which itself is a significant vector of malware, once again through javascript).

This is why I surf the web either through a browser that doesn't support javascript at all (like emacs-w3m), or in Firefox with the uMatrix extension set to deny javascript from all sites by default.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of users are neither computer-savvy enough to know how to do that, nor to even know how or why they're vulnerable, and probably wouldn't go to the trouble even if they knew how and cared. So they get hacked, and sometimes the rest of us pay the price for it through things like major data leaks of our personal information from organizations where employees browsed the web with javscript enabled.

I agree. We should have been taxing carbon as far back as at least the 70s around when the idea was first proposed. Establish cap and trade then too if we are asking for ponies that were PRed to death by business men to avoid externalities.

What about being born to a parent with HIV? Or not making a one-time mistake? Or being raped by someone who has HIV? The issue with HIV (unlike with other health issues that could stem from lifestyle habits, e.g., obesity or diabetes, to a certain degree) is that one slip is enough to get your life depending on that drug for the rest of your days.

Even if I disagree with the whole "make people pay for their mistakes, to amortize the costs for the rest of the society", I at least understand the logical train of thought occurring there. But there is no real lifestyle change for someone who got HIV that will cure them, and it doesn't even necessitate to have a certain "wrong" lifestyle to get HIV.

It's not a judgement either way. I'm just noting that apps like Outlook and Chrome can eat GB of RAM, so Electron's overhead isn't a huge deal for me personally.
I've implemented Salesforce twice for non-profits doing fundraising. It's probably a great B2B sales platform, but it's not that customizable for purposes outside what was intended. And it's not clear why some bits are customizable and others aren't. I don't consider myself a Salesforce expert, so maybe I'm just showing off my ignorance here, but this is a conversation I've had to have:

Fundraiser: "Can we have a custom database of Thing X that interfaces with everything else?"

Me: "Sure, no problem."

Fundraiser: "And can we rename this default field from 'Widget' to 'Doodad'?"

Me: "Nope. Impossible. Whenever you see 'Widget', just imagine it said 'Doodad'."

I still recommend Salesforce to non-profits, for the same reason Churchill recommends democracy: it may be the worst CRM, but it's better than all the others that have been tried.
Oh come on. This has got to be a bad faith argument.

Most of us either choose the lowest cost option on the public market that suits our needs for emergency care or take our employers options, of which there are one or two. Even if you had previously made a choice, which again is not something most people can or want to do, when an emergency happens, it’s an emergency! You will have to be taken somewhere.

There are many times when an ER is full, you are outside of your home area, maybe just traffic, that would push you to another hospital in an emergency. Your argument is not only poorly made, I find it hysterically obtuse. Most people don’t want to get to or even have to choose their damned emergency care. To assert otherwise is disingenuous
Nah, let's just replace the whole thing with Medicare for all. The federal government can then negotiate prices which will be far lower than any smaller org can do.

Works in Japan where prices are super low and the system is very good (far more private doctors per capita than in USA).
It depends on what you are doing... Modern desktop, and most mobile devices are just fine running CRUD apps written in JS. Same goes for a lot of server processes. That's not to say anyone should be using it for intense algorithmic processes. A lot of what is currently in Python for ML will likely move on to another language, or we may see better AOT and other optimizations for Python itself.

As with all things, it depends on what your needs are and what you are doing. Modern hardware is pretty damned good, and most apps don't need more than what we already have. Or have had for a decade or more at this point.
This is a horrible situation to be in. My son was born with cardiac and hearing problems (thankfully all gone) and living in France the cost of the care was something I never thought of (during and after). I never saw the price, actually.

It is only recently that you can see how much was spent on your health care, and this requires an action from you (otherwise you would not know).

My reasoning still applies, though. My spouse wasn't going to base her decision on who should fix her torn ACL based on cost, no matter what the price difference. If you have life-threatening cancer, do you go to the cheapest oncologist, or the one you think is mostly likely to save your life?

The real financial decision isn't on price comparison, but rather whether or not to get the treatment at all. I made a cost-based decision on treatment a while back. I was being treated for an eye problem where I was at risk of permanent blindness in my right eye. Treatment involved monthly injections of a quite inexpensive drug (about $27 iirc), that was inexpensive because it was developed for other, more common conditions and had been around for a long time. My doctor wanted to try a new, specialized drug, hoping for better results. It cost $8000 a dose. With 90% coverage, I would have been paying $800/mo out of pocket. I decided to stick with the cheap drug that seemed to be working.

But that's the sort of cost difference that matters, not the "This doctor is 5% cheaper!" dream of idealized free markets.

Mender 2.0.1 released: Stability improvements
+1 on the v2.0 note creation - I did the same thing consistently throughout my CS program and it worked very well for me.

I used the new notes as a kind of optimized cheat sheet during test preparation - rapidly reviewing theory in my head and cross checking. I would do this for some strategically chosen homework assignments as well - and explore slight modifications to these assignments to see how answers might change.

Many years later - I sometimes refer to the notes to refresh my mind on theory I feel I'm rusty on.

That's cool. One of the previous launches got me sour because it was obvious that the central core failed and crashed and the presenters hid that information from the viewers by claiming ignorance and simply not showing the camera feed.

I think we should all remain stern that even in this new era of private space flight, information should not be hidden from the public
From the impression I got reading OP's article, Salesforce is intended mostly for companies that can hire a dedicated Salesforce admin (or two) who can really set everything up exactly to your company's specifications, which means that smaller companies that don't have the resources to do that would be better off with one of the less-flexible CRMs/ERPs out there.

You can go buy shelf companies (companies that have been previously created and are presently unused) online all day long and effectively take instant delivery however.

And if they just wanted to be blackhat about it, you can go to the IRS website and generate an EIN (tax ID for companies) in a few clicks without showing any identification or documentation and then you just need a place to receive packages or have the packages held for pickup at the carrier.

You can also just go hire random people to accept delivery or pickup your packages. Those dealing in AAS (steroids), recreational drugs, carded merchandise etc do this regularly.

Crime exists because, more often than not, it's painfully easy.
Although I agree somewhat. I think the web wouldn't be what it is without JavaScript. Nothing is perfect and there will always be a compromise. At least there's a good layer of security/sandbox within the browser itself so attack vector is more complex.
Not sure what his point of including IB in there was? They are very up front about pretty much everything. Not sure you can find better than benchmark-50bp on cash balances and for accounts with larger balances they have a program in place to get you a little bit better.

Also, its really on the account holder to manage their cash balances. Most brokers allow you to do t-bills at auction for no charge, durations are as short as 4 weeks. You can also (at higher risk) usually find a floating rate fund they handle for no commission, FLOT or FLRN or simiilar.
While reading this article I had the same thought, read something similar on HN before. Sounds like nothing's changed on KitSplit. Looks like they found their profit/payment line - continue to screw the 0.01% and leave them in the dark and only pay up the the even smaller % that decide to pursue them in court.
In CA, the choice of court is mainly about two things: 1) The amount of money at stake, and 2) Whether you're asking the court to do anything other than award money.

Small Claims: $10K or less ($5K if plaintiff is a business), only asking for money.

Limited Civil: $25K or less, only asking for money.

Unlimited Civil: More than $25K AND/OR asking for something other than money.

As an individual suing a company you absolutely would NOT want to file in Limited Civil if you had the option of filing in Small Claims, among other reasons because in Limited Civil the company you're suing can be represented by a lawyer and the filing fees are considerably more expensive.
This is incorrect. If you give over a piece of property to someone with a contract, and they fail to fulfill the contract, you've got a civil claim against them but it's not generally a crime.

Example: someone leases a car and doesn't make payments. Leasor can't call the police and claim "Janet stole my 2018 Cadillac, she stopped making payments two months ago!". Or, they can, but will be told: It's not theft.
If you pay your sales guys $100k a year, $150 is nothing.
I’ll check out the projections as they seem interesting and I don’t know them very well.
Exactly. The "better life" in America generally means living in suburbs in a McMansion and driving 2-3 hours per day in traffic because your house is so far from your job. Why anyone thinks this is better than living in a walkable city is beyond me; Japan and western European nations have shown by example that you can certainly put lots of people into a fairly dense city where the main transport methods are walking and subways while still having extremely low crime rates, and a lifestyle like this requires far fewer resources than a typical suburban American one.
Medicare for All will solve a lot of these issues. Look at the healthcare prices in Japan, which has a single payer system. Insanely cheap, high quality, and more doctors per capita than the USA.

The other part that someone like Sanders is pushing is tuition-free colleges. If doctors aren't burdened with half a million in student debt, maybe we can get cheaper care.

You combine both programs and you get a real win.
Their motto from the beginning has been "No Software!". So you are spot on about new way of programming part. Business idea is to have less in house software people for business goals. Lots of $$ (all $$)

I'm interested to know why you think the government is incentivized to negotiate the best pricing for citizens. They would fill the same role as existing insurers, but instead of multiple black boxes there would be one. There is no way to tell if the price we are paying is at all good value for money compared to what it could cost. I'm not sure this solves our health care cost escalation problem, and the government would still be fighting against providers that would continue to grow and merge together so they would be able to negotiate with the government. This reduces overall service and competition.
Elliptic-curve cryptography is full of edge cases, math pitfalls, and side-channel traps.

* Your implementation produces incorrect results for some rare curve points.

* Your implementation leaks secret data when the input isn't a curve point.

* Your implementation leaks secret data through branch timing.

* Your implementation leaks secret data through cache timing.

This is why NIST curves should be retired in favor of Curve25519 and other newer designs that care actual secure implementation in mind, not only theoretical security.

Curve25519 is designed to be more immune to implementation pitfalls. There is no invalid curve attack in Curve25519, secret-dependent branching can be avoided easily, etc.

Fair enough, though I'd say discounting a raised price is a borderline case for regulation. That is obviously deceiving and dubious at best. As I said you might feel good getting that discount, but it's an illusory savings which if people knew about they'd never choose that over actual savings, but no not illegal. So I agree with him I'd feel cheated.
