All models are wrong, some models are useful.

I could start by dissecting the article and detail the sloppyness in the reasoning, the strawman of ignoring emergence, the value and inevitability of referential semantics etc, but ultimately the deeper question remains:

How is the proposed model supposed to be useful?

Meditation isn't religious. Zen-style mindfulness is proven to be beneficial for stress, anxiety, and even some indicators of physical health. It just so happens that most of the best meditation instructors are Buddhist (to some degree).
This is more a “certain type of rich people” thing than an “urban center” thing, I think. Picture-perfect boring sheltered childhoods are common in the suburbs, and there are plenty of city kids who control their own time.

+1 on that.

I remember on a bank's IVR I was auditing, required "_random 2 out of your 4 characters of a PIN_" (not your card's but dedicated to a call center support - that gave you full access to your accounts though) was being recorded/logged together with any phone key press (e.g. your customer ID). It was possible (if obtaining the logs of a few of a customer's calls) to reconstruct the PIN (e.g. call1#1 you press 1, 3, call#2 you press 1,2, call#3 you press 2,4). Those logs were scrubbed/dropped once a year, so for a frequent IVR user it was easy to reconstruct your IVR PIN. The folder containing the logs was a Windows shared folder with Everyone/Everyone (share/modify).

You should have seen the COO's face as I was describing how easily this could have been abused (likelihood), and how it could open a floodgate of serious problems for the bank (impact).

Nothing spectacular: Pay off flat mortgage & rent it off, build a house in the neighborhood (parcel prices gone crazy here now), buy a new second car (nothing fancy, like some Renault or other) and keep living as nothing happened (work, but less stressful etc.) Maybe I would also buy 1 or 2 small flats to rent near the university at nearest city etc.
Thank you for saying this, as I was about to post something similar. I came to the valley about 8 months ago, and switched from hiking to lifting because of time constraints. Since getting big, I've felt more and more out of place. I even caught one of my bosses referring to me as a 'bro' when he didn't realize I had dialed in to a meeting.

Now, granted, the current crop of engineers I work with are some of the most stereotypically nerdy folks I've ever encountered. Back in San Diego, the engineers I worked with were usually surfers, extreme skiers, advanced cyclists, or some other "alpha" pursuit. The "alpha" engineers in the valley that I've encountered so far... are generally pale, skinny, socially awkward and not very friendly.

(Edit: Quotes around 'alpha'. Added 'engineers' after second 'alpha'. I thought I edited out the second usage of 'alpha' because it's really all engineers, but keeping it because it still works.)

I'm CTO of Flip (https://flip.lease), we handle a lot of rent payments each month.

I get the same question a lot. Most people could not imagine the amount of complexity that exists underneath the seemingly simple guise of paying rent. Just wanted to say I can sympathize and I respect what you've been able to do, specifically from the technical perspective. (We use Gusto and it's been absolutely fantastic)

Unrelated, my whole team was very impressed by the attention to detail in your rebrand. It's so difficult to transition the landing pages and internal product so seamlessly, again coming from the technical perspective. I imagine you're running a tight ship over there, and it shows.

Congrats on the raise!

Since we now put the user-id first, before the form goes to check how to even try to auth said user, we can just fetch a strong random salt from the server in it's response "just use a simple password, this is not a fancy account". Some nice, salted PBKDF shouldn't be a problem then.

Also, there are zero-knowledge authentication systems, but they are somewhat iterative due to their probabilistic nature. They are secure in the face of an imposter authentication service, as the password (or a hash, obviously) has to be stored in the real authentication service. But it is never transmitted after this initial store, so no amount of logging or posing as an evil imposter risks disclosure.

Anyone not expecting this? It's fairly clear that the newest bridge to the peninsula was directly intended to enable such intervention.

This is not a judgement against China, but a nation that plans massive infrastructure projects, has a history of single-party rule (and rule by dynastic monarchs) and also is responsible for the Uighur re-education camps, doesn't really sound like a country unwilling to wield it's military might.

While it's citizenry and residents are much more diverse and identify not as Chinese but seperate, HK has historically been part of China, and only really a separate state/entity for a couple of centuries.
Normal gear raises your genetic limit by ~5-10%, 7kg of leanmass is a great result for untrained people to inoculate against everyday challenges hence my endorsement for larger role in general population who can't be bothered to train. For serious trainers who you can pack on a lot more lean mass than that, whereas ignorant gear users gains + gear bonus might leave some pretty easy gains on the table by training stupid. Genetically exceptional folks aside. That's not to say gear doesn't confer a massive benefit in the short run. But it doesn't give you the knowledge for long term progress, and if one is not willing to be educated on the basics for lifting/nutrition, they're probably not responsible enough to use gear safely. Anecdotally, gear/dark side seems to be a one way street for most users, it's a lifelong commitment with real medical side effects, "rushing" it without understanding the consequences is a bad approach especially when most people reach 95% of their genetic ceiling withing 3-5 years without gear.

I said no OEM wants their engineers to have a capability and you're fixating on the uses of the capability.

My comment is saying it doesn't matter if they wanted to use it for something as trivial as ECU updates, They. Do. Not. Want. It.

If you want a case study in why, AP regressions are a fine one.

They don't want the liability when an updates goes wrong and kills people. They do not see people's lives as prod vs dev. They do not want to hotfix safety critical systems. They want to get it right the first time, and that's why they're conservative and by god, they get it right a lot more than they get it wrong.

Because no matter how much spin TSLA fanboys put on these things, they are liabilities as much as, if not more, than they are strengths, especially combined with the flippant approach to valuing human life the company that called Adaptive Cruise Control + Lane Centering "Autopilot"

> I wish I had internalized this earlier in my career — to write code for human readers first, and compilers second.

Going through Turbo Basic and Turbo Pascal before coming to C helped me with that.

I learned to cleanly express algorithms and only write it for the compiler/hardware if not fast enough yet, and just the specific hotspot.

C-style culture seems to push people into writing for compilers first and people second, including meanigless PR discussions about optimizations where performance is already good enough for the desired goal.

What's really interesting about this Napoleonic Time Period is not so much how much the wealthy earned, but how little they paid their servants.

Much like modern fading businesses they had an addiction to cheap labour to prop up dated capital. Then when the mills and the mines and the factories turned up paying better wages, most of them failed to adapt. If they were lucky they sold out to the National Trust.

Totally disagree. "If you want something done, give it to a busy man."
The, purge, the loss of jobs, the continuous state of emergency, all terrible ideas. However, painting everyone affected as "intellectual"s is going a bit too far. Although many innocent people got hurt, a lot of them were nur cult members. They believe said nursi was a prophet. They took over the education industry to spread their dogmas. Everyone in Turkey knew that and turned a blind eye because they were harmless.
I think there is something that is inherent to 'nerd culture', at least of a certain generation, which instills a feeling of otherness and persecution by 'alphas'. I was a socially awkward nerd in high school with few friends. I left feeling like I was persecuted and had a large chip on my shoulder towards 'normies'. It wasn't until years later that I realized most of it was in my head and self-inflicted. There is a lot of media out there pushing the 'jocks throw nerd in a trashcan' meme. I grew up in places where you'd have thought things like that would have gone on, but in hindsight I don't remember much of it. Sure, the cool kids didn't value intelligence, but they weren't persecuting anyone for it.

I get the impression lots of other nerd types have a similar chip on their shoulders, whether from real trauma or imagined. As I have become more fit and more outgoing over the years, I find it's harder to connect with other nerds, perhaps because I don't share the same victimhood fantasy, or maybe I just seem unapproachable to them? I don't know, but I definitely feel more apprehension than when I was a fat guy with bad posture and ill fitting clothes.

A few weeks ago, I never would have expected China to profess/commit violence openly, just because of the comparatively open press in Hong Kong + ubiquity of cell phones.

After the triad attacks, and now this, I’m worried how far China will go to suppress any unrest.

FWIW, any Americans looking to (try to) help may write their Congress representatives to support the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act.

And, sadly, like in Tienanmen Square, little would change.

The "international community" may condemn the violence and human rights abuses but, well, the "international community" still does business in Saudi Arabia, so the chance of the condemnation changing anything seems minimal.

Yeah I think US should send troops, build a base, and annex Hong Kong.

Hiking isn't generally something that builds mass. Hiking promotes a lean frame that isn't going to intimidate anyone.
For the purposes of storing carbon, I don't think we'll get away from the fact that a large amount the carbon from fossil fuels that we have burned will likely have to be stored under ground again eventually. I find it strange to think about wooden buildings made out of pine; pine is an invasive species in Southern Africa. The effect of for example eucalyptus on the topsoil layer is as bad as full scale agricultural tilling.

There is an argument that agriculture is a better future for this part of the world and there would certainly need to be better options here than wooden buildings. Maybe some sort of carbon polymer concrete mixture?
Don't worry, nothing happened in 1989 that might give some indication of what the Chinese government is historically prepared to do to protesters.

Which probably doesn't matter one iota, given Tibet, BUT: it's going to be hard to hide that invasion from mainland Chinese who live in big cities, and may just start asking some difficult questions.

I find it odd that in all the articles and discussions I've seen about this, the Opium Wars are never talked about. Of course violence is never justification for more violence, but seeing as Hong Kong's very existence is based on the worst of human exploitation, it's hard to imagine that it's ever going to have a calm future.

I can't help but think that for us Europeans it touches the nerve where we know at some level that all our chickens will come home to roost like this one day?
