It's not my decree, it's nature's. The world does not have infinite resources. We have to be careful how we use them.

If you cannot live efficiently, you will exhaust your available resources and your lifestyle will die out. Humans have put in a great amount of effort in the last few hundred years to make as many resources as possible available to use, but this only encouraged us to use more. If you want to see how to live life efficiently, look at present and past cultures that do. They seem to be plenty happy living on much less than the average person in the first world.

You don't exist to be happy, you exist to survive. What would we have accomplished as humans if after thousands of generations of working to build a world with more possibility if all that work is dashed by a bunch of greedy, selfish idiots who think pleasure is more important than the sustainability of human life?
I was a patient, be in hospital more then two months, i always thought if there was classic music echo in the passage or my room, the pain will be less.
A "startup" typically implies hyper-growth. That means raising money, hiring, and motivating the team to execute quickly, all of which is easier with the right vision/idea.

If you were a VC or a prospective employee deciding between many companies wouldn't the "idea" be the first filter you use ?
I never disputed that I think you misinterpreted me.

>One of my favorite things about Melbourne is never having to visit a shopping mall because retail spaces spring up naturally along tram lines

Been in Melbourne for 18 months now and have only just realised that this is one of my favourite things as well, I only appreciated it subconsciously until now.
Additionally, when bringing up new hardware, the knowledge you need in order to understand the state of a malfunctioning device and debug a crash is often stored in the head of the logic designer who wrote the HDL, not exactly something you can look up on StackOverflow.
But he has a point. The real answer is more complicated. Slow change gives natural selection several generations to evolve a complex solution to the problem and our minds the time to come up with a technological solution.

Life exists within the boundaries of available sunlight and liquid water. Changes that occur slowly within these boundaries don't necessarily have to be catastrophic. However if the changes exceed these boundaries whether fast or slow then yes the change will indeed be catastrophic.

Venus possibly has no liquid water and snowball earth doesn't have much water either, hence the catastrophe.

Distributed computing technologies are fascinating and evolving quickly.

Caught a demo of a blockchain product performing at over 6,000 tps on a single shard spread over about a dozen geographic regions on a test net last week. Expected to be more performant than anything out there today when at scale.
This statement, which is currently greyed out, is an objective statement of engineering fact about one of the most important technologies introduced in the last one hundred years.

I hope I have bought enough street cred to say the following by ghostwriting hundreds of letters to the credit reporting agencies to fix their problems, which are numerous and essentially inevitable given their model and present operations.

Credit scores are important because they allow banks to do standardized, automated underwriting for effectively free at 2 AM in the morning, which is what makes credit abundantly available in the United States and one of the reasons why it is so cheap to the middle class. (This routinely escapes the notice of people in the middle class, but the ordinary operation of banks is to advance well-organized people money for free and pay you to be chosen to do so, partly due to credit scores making this a derisked proposition and partly due to interchange revenue.)

Credit scores decimated the costs of unsecured consumer loans, as is readily observable by seeing what loan availability, pricing, and the "credit box" looks like when they're not available for underwriting. (This is a term of art in consumer credit that I provide for your future Googling pleasure, not having enough time to explain it at the moment.) Compare the cost on a cash advance on any card in your wallet to a payday lender. That delta is substantially (not solely) due to credit scores, both in improved understanding of default risk and in reduced operational cost (of underwriting and servicing, both enabled by the scoring infrastructure).

Credit scores are an important justice-enhancing technology because they make the inputs to an underwriting decision objectively observable and for the first time in history those inputs provably do not include race, religion, etc.

There is an argument which is not immediately dismissible that credit scores are based on borrower behavior which reflects the socioeconomic realities of the United States and therefore somehow effectively encode race, but it is an obvious improvement that banks now mechanically reach the same decision on similarly situated white and black borrowers. Regulation did not make that happen. FICO did.

I think well-off computer programmers should understand that there is a societal tradeoff which buys "middle class black Americans have the same access to credit you do" at the cost of Equifax knowing your credit limits; understand that if you are advocating for rolling back the second you should accept that ceteris paribus we will experience material disimprovement on the first.

(Obligatory disclaimer: personal opinion here.)
All I did was I took the story at face value and asked a legal question without saying anything else about anyone. You felt I was somehow "putting nonsense in the creditor's mouth". OK, so why make a ridiculous response instead of just telling me I should wait to hear the other side's story? Or even better, maybe asking what I was thinking in the first place instead of putting your own nonsense in my mouth?
> That being said, it's incredibly sad that women were so devalued and minimized in that time.

This might be traced back to the 'first' art critic, John Ruskin campaigned vigorously for a better education for women and girls than was available. However, a big motivator for this was his fear of industrialisation. He saw woman as the counter-balance to this force, and strongly positioned them as the centre of family life: feminine and (importantly) uncompetitive.

Much art criticism that followed inherited these assumptions.
If that were the case, most companies (organizations) would not go to great lengths to protect their IP (e.g., via patents and trade secrets).

A Quest for the Holy Grail: On D. W. Pasulka’s “American Cosmic”
Is there a good textbook that covers these? I am primarily interested in a computer science perspective to these algebraic structures.
I work on memristor based crossbars for neural network computation. Memristors are real, but we’re pretty far away from mass scale commercial products.
Wouldn't smaller nodes benefit consumer electronics with lower power consumption at similar performance? Better battery life, etc.
The, "Gates of the Arctic" graph is somewhat funny: devoid of RV camping 365 days of the year! Got back from that place last month after a 2 week stay. No RVs to be seen, either.

Well, there's no ROADS into the Park, either! We took float planes.

My idea of what a, "desolate backcountry area" is, has been recently redefined.
I love this idea. I struggled to get my first job because there seemed to be a "people skills" craze at the time which meant that my coding skills were being less valued by companies. I felt like I was interviewing to be an actor in some of them. So I like the idea of perfecting interviewing to select on what is really required.

1. How do you compare to Codility which also does the same kind of thing?

2. How do you convince companies to take on interns?
I think you're underestimating how big even a "small" hospital can be. That $65k could easily be covering thousands of works.
If you go after them, yours probably have to prove they are likely the ONLY before that Leaked your information .... You're not the defendant nor do you pay any judges or congressmen off, so you need to climb the hill.
As a business person, you’d put a customer through the wringer for one missed payment due to communication problems? I hope you have a monopoly in whatever market you serve, because otherwise that’s a great way to lose all of your customers.

Anyway, we’re back to making it the responsibility of the customer with a thousand more important things to think about, rather than of the business that’s dedicated to the stuff.

And if you think it should be that way, great. But it’s obvious to me that it is that way because of the power imbalance, not because it’s right.

As I told you, I find good products all the time without looking at advertising. The problem you imagine might conceivable have been a big issue before the rise of the internet. But now anybody who feels a lack can quickly search. E.g., right now I'm traveling; before I left I looked at Wirecutter's travel products guide: https://thewirecutter.com/reviews/travel-guide/

It was great. I found and tried out a few new products. I'll buy more of some of them, and have already recommended a couple to friends.

The reason you keep failing to understand a pretty simple point is that you are identifying with a particular business, rather than consumers. But think of it the other way: Why should I as a consumer care if a given business can't manipulate me into buying their product?

Answer: I don't. I trust that I'll find sufficient good products when I need them. Indeed, without paid audience manipulation, I expect I'll find better products on average.
Capitalism doesn’t build technology either. People do. The -ism determines who gets paid for it.

Our current political and economic institutions incentivize socially suboptimal outcomes for our climate. Changing those institutions is as much of a requirement as developing technology to manage the cause and consequences of climate change.
Thanks for signing up! We're still working on the dashboard side for employers so I'll be contacting you shortly to set up a meeting to share more.

High level-- we're trying to appeal to startups so our fees are much more accessible than traditional agency/recruiting fees!
Compare and contrast with Seldon on Kubeflow?
It's my way of trying to keep the conversation on the topic of the actual article, rather than turning it into a generic Linus v Cutler boxing match where both of their syscall interfaces are on the table.

And staying on the topic of mutexes, that "just spawn another thread for every 64 items you want to wait on" (which I already knew about) is about the hackiest shit ever.

(And FWIW, I started off as a Win32 developer, have code in ReactOS, and have written NT and WinCE drivers. You're not talking to some Linux fanboy)

Those emission numbers are based on other carbon sources. Move to electric trucks etc and solar panels represent much lower emissions on their own.
This is partially my fault for comparing LA with a city, but what most people think of as "Los Angeles" is really the LA metro area or LA county, so the better comparison would be LA county with Harris county (where Houston is).
We should also look to compare hempcrete or similar lightweight materials with superior insulation qualities; "an un-rendered 30 cm thick hemp concrete wall enables a storage of 36.08 kg of CO2 per m2 [1]."

The point I was trying to get at is that everyone involved in Syria is perfectly capable of staying out of trouble when their core interests are not at stake. I would not read too much into the failure of the Russians to intercept well-telegraphed, highly-publicized attacks on non-Russian targets, just like I wouldn't read too much into the failure of Americans to intercept rare Russian airstrikes on their SDF allies.
Is it though? To try and quantify risk I looked up how many metoeites hit the earth each day and its 18,000 to 84,000 that are over 10 grams.

Whiile the earth is obviously much bigger than a space craft, you would think should there be a bunch of craft flying around in the future, theres a fair odds of it happening every few years.

Also for example, the ISS has already been hit a couple of times: https://www.iflscience.com/space/an-astronaut-used-his-finge...

If we have thousands or 10's of thousands of craft in space in the future I would suspect this will be a very real issue on a semi regular basis.

Take what I say with a healthy dose of skeptism as not an expert or even well researched, but logically on above seems quite a reasonable risk.
The NPS doesn't have the data as you can camp (fairly) freely without permits.

I've done it a few times before (all in the fall through spring). The major issue is in finding flat, suitable ground for a tent; the most interesting areas of the park are often the most rocky, are lacking for flat surfaces, or you would find yourself in a sandy wash/arroyo. Or, you'd be out in the open subject to horrible winds that would keep you up all night from the noise.

One of the most common/easiest places to do it is on a hike to Telescope Peak, hike in a few miles, camp the night, then hike to the top and back out the following day.
Interesting. I'm pretty sure people already rolled their own version of this years ago. One possible countermeasure is simply to lengthen the prongs of the taser and coat the base of the prong with an insulator. The clothing may still provide an alternate pathway depending on how well it is in contact with your skin.
Exactly. We don't have to let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

And it's not like I object to companies publishing on their own channels. They can have a website, a Twitter account, a Facebook account. If people volunteer to read that, great. If we just eliminate paid manipulation, it'll be a huge step forward and we'll free up enormous sums of money.
I’m not the one who accused someone of a crime based on a late fee.
> It does not follow at all that the issuer should have permission to give information back to the agency.

The agreements you sign when requesting and getting credit explicitly grant that right.
Great ideas-- never thought about virtual career fairs, but that sounds very interesting.

You're definitely right that undervalued AND entry-level candidates is a hard sell most of the time-- but more employers need to start giving out work experience rather than just expecting 2-3 years+ work experience. So hopefully we can find more unique ways to help solve this "experience gap" problem as we grow.
There are so many people that use the "look at this obese vegetarian!" strawman. Does anyone legitimately think a diet of Oreos and Gatorade is healthy? No. Is it vegetarian? Yes.

Processed foods are the majority of the issue. Not "grains". Carbohydrates are not the devil here, yet people dance around it in so many ways.

Try this...

Most processed foods have a high carb to fiber ratio. That's bad. It's also a leading indicator that those products (not whole foods) have a bunch of added sugar and/of fat. The ratio should be lower than 10:1 (carb to fiber) [0]. Many state 5:1 is what you should shoot for. But so many overlook how carbs are good. Fruits and vegetables are loaded with carbs and fiber. Most people don't think 5 grams of broccoli carbs are bad for you, but it's obvious when you compare those 5 grams from broccoli to 5 grams of carbs from Oreos. For reference:

Broccoli: 91g (1 cup) contains 6g of carb and 2.4g of fiber. No fat and 1.5g of natural sugars.

Oreos: 34g of cookies (3) has 25g of carbs and 0.5g of fiber. One wouldn't be surprised to hear those cookies contain 7g of fat and 14g of added sugar.

So, no... Being a processed food "vegetarian" isn't healthy and it's a crappy argument vs a "vegetarian" eating whole foods under a plant heavy/focused diet.

Finally, most don't know that each gram of fiber cancels out each checked gram of carbs with regard to sugars. High fiber diets are crucial to sugar regulation. And this is crucial to diabetics, but not many are taught. [1]

Presumably people are unsubbing all day.

If n is the number of emails and k is the number of unsubs, it adds up to O(n) to check the table of unsubs before sending vs. O(k*n) to scan the queue after every unsub.

Or, to be less computer-sciency, a task that scans the queue of emails every time someone unsubs would be a pain to keep running. Elsewhere in this discussion the queue was described as a file. Who wants to scan the same file over and over all day?
Plastic-Eating Bacteria That Can Break Down PET (2016)
Dunno why you guys are so married with integers.. With even slightest increase of financial process complexity, only BigDecimal or such works. With explicit exceptions when math is done without predefined rounding rules and no catastrophes when some money orders start to come in 1/100 of previously relevant units
Oh my apologies, I took it as you were saying that either Amazon trained this person to become hacker or hired her because she was one already.
>Proof of work is not foolproof, especially in LF where there is no intrinsic economic mechanism to incentivize the runaway growth of PoW "mining" investment. As a result a well financed or determined attacker willing to throw a lot of compute power at the problem could overcome the PoW "weight" of the records beneath a target record in the LF DAG and replace it.

This issue -- of creating equivalent proofs of work -- is what I was most interested to see if there was any novel art (which it appears there isn't).

Bitcoin's difficulty adjustment is the only well-functioning algo that deals with the economic coordination issue around how to -- without any third party coordinator -- equate the value of a proof of work made by computer's of differing computational capacities (a phone, an ASIC). All PoW consumed by Bitcoin has marginally positive contribution to the system. Sacrificial PoW (as in LF, hashcash) only has value if reorgs happen. It also results in a system with tenuous game stability properties ("When will it be uneconomical for an attacker to reorged these records out of the DaG?" "Can't say, blocks' PoW requirement is arbitrary") vs bitcoin ("When will this 50 BTC txn be uneconomical for the most adversarial miner to reorg out?" "well there's about 14 BTC of block reward per block so about 4 blocks ~40-60 minutes"
If the customer is using it as an excuse, yes I would. They’re trying to weasel out of their responsibilities, responsibilities they almost certainly incurred voluntarily.

If you don’t make payments as agreed, your credit score goes down. If you do, it goes up, and will soon recover from the perfectly reasonable dip it took from your mistake. It’s pretty simple.
The new PAMF clinic in San Carlos, CA looks like a 5 star hotel. I was shocked when I went there.
Kinda no choice and even if you don't use them banks and other places you have relations with share data with them... Go to the hospital but never pay your bill? They will go tell Equifax or the other big 2.

I kinda think the whole credit system is kinda odd anyways. Someone was starting a business and didn't have any credit to co-sign for the company to get credit to help pay as they needed to scale up. Yet someone who just buys chicken nuggets once a month on their credit card and pay it off in full who makes less money would have a better score than someone who makes millions but is very anti-credit.

I think having credit is good though and it depends on the states but car insurance companies, apartments/real estate and employers factor in your credit score too. If you have low credit and have a job where you deal with cash like say a cashier, someone with low credit is more likely to steal or wreck their car is the assumption. So using to measure how responsible you are.
True, you’re meant to post the original source, not archive sites like Archive.is or Outline.

But some sites like The Information now have paywall passthrough arguments you can add to the URL, and they seem to be fine.
You wouldn't expect to be able to redline the part of a loan contract where you have to pay the money back. This is similar to that.

Just because you don't have options to cut essential parts of the contract out doesn't mean there is no "meeting of the minds."
ad-hoc polymorphism is where it shines. Such as the typeclass in Haskell or modules in OCaml
No, it still doesn't make much sense.
I'm trying to figure out why this article says paper wasn't expensive, using the example that a laborer could by 75 sheets of paper for a day's wages. Today, I can by 5 times that amount, for about 10 minutes of wages. By today's standards, that translates to over $1,000 for a ream of paper.
Thank you for this.

It's a very difficult problem to solve because many employers are stuck in their own ways and going to go to big /enterprise companies and telling them they can't look at resumes if they work with us is usually an easy no for them. But we're hoping that if more and more startups work with us and if we can prove that this model is more effective for growing tech startups than hopefully, the big guys will latch on too.
I am not talking about your lawn, but fields of wild grass.
I didn't accuse anyone. I asked. Because it sounded like it could be, but I legitimately don't know. You see the difference?
Aren't there any voters who think that retransmitting broadcast TV signals over the internet should be explicitly permitted?

It seems like a very useful and desirable thing for people who like to watch TV, and probably something that broadcasters should be willing to pay for rather than trying to shut down.
Yeah, obviously it only shows an area by name and then it’s up to you to read reviews or use intuition to find specific spots. Often it’s a free for all once you’re in there. App is faster than using various sites IMO.

I responded to the extreme sport one. As for the sedentary lifestyle that's not directly a product in itself.

Maybe you're just not convinced about the actual harm that sugar and obesity causes. I won't be able to write a good summary of the research here and now,but there's a lot of evidence out there. It's more dangerous than many people would assume.
My only time in Melbourne, I saw a car crash into a tram. This blocked a bit of the road, and the entire tram line for an hour plus

The bus behind could have driven around, but the next tram was stuck until the blockage was cleared

Now, if the busses had dedicated lanes that they could use, they may run as well as trams, with the flexibilty of changing route for exceptions like crashes, or road works
