>> drastic climate change which is now beginning to occur

Where is it "beginning to occur"? And if you do really believe this, wouldn't you want to shut down the second largest emitter of carbon worldwide as soon as possible by the most efficient means available to us?
As a user of AirBnB accross Europe I did not make anyone's life worse. This is quite an offense. Are there bad people? Sure. But punish them directly. We already have laws for anti-social acts.

If literally all you know about money is that it is a token that lets you buy stuff at the grocery store, here is trwhat you don't know - how long is that situation going to hold up.

> "Just as I wouldn't tailor my own paragliding chute, because otherwise companies could rip me off."

I wouldn't try to sew a normal parachute let alone a paragliding chute. But one thing I know about safety-critical pieces of nylon or related things is that wear and tear is visible. A moderate rip, hole, tear in material, an engine that coughs, a tire that's deformed, all this stuff is a clue that there are problems ahead.

What signs tell you when there's problem in the relationship between your tokens and the grocery store? That's where a bit more understanding of money is useful. And, as the OP say, that understanding is difficult, actually (edit: tbh, that's literally the only worthwhile point in an otherwise terrible article).
In my experience, it's just about cost-effectiveness. Proper visualization is hard, researchers have a lot of ground to cover and theory and proper experiments are just more important (not only for journal reviewers). Sure, if have a big research group with man hours to spare someone should focus on that, but it's rare to have that capacity.
A government run social network would probably come with so many strings attached that it would never work. It wouldn't appeal to people because you wouldn't be allowed to say or do most things. Even if draconian rules don't exist at the start, they will quickly appear.
What? How are you arriving at that conclusion?
I need 10 bitcoins to buy some property, how do I procure these? Credit. This contract itself will be traded, etc. And so it begins.

I fail to see how "crypto" plays any part in this credit system whatsoever. It's not the actual number that is hard to trace to its origin, it is the system itself, which can be easily recreated with crypto - to hammer the point home.

Edit: Now I think of it. It will in fact be easier to create an immensely complex system out of crypto. It is inheritantly better suited for ridiculously complex digital ruth goldberg type shenanigans. Especially with the smart contracts.
I doubt the ultra rich are keeping significant portions of their wealth in money markets.
A few points:

1. Computing and engineering in general is such a discipine where one nitpicky detail can make all the difference. One bit flip, one keystone, one badly selected material. However, the conduct of negotiation, could be improved as always, but it's a general listening problem most of the time.

2. From the dickheads point or view, everything can be solved by spending more money on HW. Each unexpected spend like this is a risk to open the floodgates and lose both financial and engineering discipline by setting a bad precedent. Not sure you want easy handed decisions there as well.

I have a friend who works with PHP, and we used to tease him a lot about it. The truth is though, that with everyone building web-based tools, even for enterprise sized applications for to handle things like the workflow of a hospital. Well PHP is actually rather suited for all that, so is Python and Ruby.

JAVA meanwhile has lost its academic connection in a lot of places, and a lot of fresh graduates genuinely don’t want to work with it.

C# is C#, .Net Core is fast and Microsoft are suddenly popular, but they are truly neglecting a lot of their old backend libraries in a typical Microsoft fashion. Which means you have to write a ton of enhancement or replacement libraries, even to work with Microsoft’s own AD.

This article couldn't be more wrong-headed. The author seems to think that a fixed amount of money, or a money limited by the amount of some arbitrary commodity (like gold) is a good thing. But the gold standard was a disaster, and caused the American economy to explode every 15 to 20 years, complete with bank collapses and widespread hunger, or rampant inflation when a new gold rush occurred. A Bitcoin-based economy would have massive deflation, which would mean that nothing you could spend Bitcoin on, and keep, would be worth as much as just holding your Bitcoin, so people would be reluctant to invest in anything.

Central banks manage the money supply to be reasonably stable. Yes, bank loans create money, and the central banks regulate this process so neither inflation nor unemployment can get out of hand. This process offends libertarians who seem to think that a completely free system could work better, but it can't: you need a mechanism to keep the money supply roughly proportional to the size of an economy, and blockchain can't do that.
It's amazing to me that a video like this is apparently sanctioned by two large companies, and yet the use of terminology is so very divergent from the norm.

The thing you're calling "stubbing" (a usually local, working implementation of a subset of a service's functionality) is usually called using fakes. You describe Moto as a "stubbing" library, but it's neither a stubbing library nor a fake... it describes itself as a mocking library, and that's exactly what it is. You describe localstack as a stubbing library that combines "best of breed stubs"... but it's actually a collection of fakes built up from simpler fakes and mocks (their readme says "LocalStack builds on existing best-of-breed mocking/testing tools").

I don't know if you're purposefully using nonstandard terminology or if you're just mimicking how the terms are used inside Capital One, but since this video is educational, it seems irresponsible to diverge so far from industry-standard terms.

Please read https://martinfowler.com/articles/mocksArentStubs.html (particularly the The Difference Between Mocks and Stubs section) for a good description of how the terms are usually used.

Note, I don't think it's very important which terms are chosen to mean which thing. But we need some consistency. The fact that you're disagreeing with the terminology that's used in the readmes of the tools you're talking about should be a clue.

Yes there are and he cited them in his memo. And the studies have been replicated in studies that draw participants from as many as 51 countries and find similar results across different cultures [1].

If you think his presentation of this data is ineffective, then the productive thing to do is offer a reasoned refutation. Not exaggerate (to be generous, I'm more inclined to call these fabrications) and write that he claimed "women are genetically worse leaders" and "naturally worse negotiators."

I have some interesting ideas about managing software complexity in general (i.e. why this complexity inevitably snowballs and how we could deal with that), or about a better way to surf the internet (which may be a really big idea, tbh). But all these are moonshot ideas that gave a slim chance of success, while I need to pay ever raising bills. On the other hand I have a couple solid money making business ideas that I'm working on and that will bring me a few tens of millions, bit will be of no use to society, and I have a fallback plan: a corporate job with outstanding pay, but that brings exactly nothing to this world (it's about reshaping certain markets to make my employer slightly richer).

Do I deserve to be paid for 5 years for something that may not work? "Deserving" something doesn't have much meaning: we, the humans, merely transform solar energy into some fluff like stadiums and cruise ships. Getting paid just means getting a portion of that stream of solar energy. There is no reason I need to "deserve it" as it's unlimited and doesn't belong to anyone. A better question to ask is how can we change our society so that all, especially young, people would get a sufficient portion of resources to not think about paying bills.

Chances to make a breakthru are small, but that doesn't matter. It's a big numbers game: if chances are 1 to million, we let 1 billion people try and see 1000 successes. The problem currently is that we have these billions of people, but they are forces by silly constraints of our society to non stop solve fictional problems like paying rent.

The situation will hold up much longer than any cryptocurrency will hold a stable value as compared to the price of basic things like food, clothing, and shelter. If your money is subject to wild swings in value, you can't make plans. It then works more like a highly volatile stock.

The thing is python3 IS a better language. Unicode is very important for me, as i deal with a multitude of languages. For a good comparison, see how PHP failed unicode with PHP6 and we still deal with an insanity that is the mb_ functions. In python this is a non issue, and its a very nice language to work with.

The covering of every surface with advertising is not indicative of more 'commerce being done'. People are still buying and selling even when there isn't a giant garish billboard 30 feet over their heads. And plenty of advertising-covered neighborhoods are just dead.

> The money will quickly flow to employees and then to everything else.

Sure, I never said it was the rich people that had to do the spending, so we don't disagree there, but if "inflation" as commonly measured (CPI, say) is to occur, the prices of consumer goods have to change, and someone at some point has to buy some, whether it's the rich people or their employees, and if it's the latter it requires that the former sink their money into something that employs people. The author suggests that this happens less reliably than it used to (that they hoard cash, or I dunno, gold? whatever -- something societally unproductive)
Maybe in theory, but if you look in particular at the reference labelled [1], it seems like they prefer to act as though it doesn't exist and if other people try to get vertical search going, then they simply block their startups.
However-- for Bitcoin and essentially no other valuable asset before it, it's perfectly reasonable for an exchange to continuously prove that every bitcoin in your account is uniquely backed by coins that they control.

No major exchange bothers to do it right now because the market doesn't demand it and any exchange that did would hurt themselves by causing their customers to care about the risk of insolvency. If you make the customer worry about solvency they won't necessarily be placated by the protocol that proves they're (bitcoin) solvent, so you're better off not raising the issue.

It's unfortunate because this is one of the areas where Bitcoin has a significant advantage over most other valuable assets.
Thank you for pointing out AutoML!

It is a clever hack, but it can never work as money. The money supply needs to roughly match the size of the economy. If there is too much of it, you have inflation. If there is too little of it, you have deflation, which in many ways is worse. With Bitcoin you have too little of it, because the total amount is limited, and that limit is smaller than economic growth is. That's why Bitcoin's price as compared to major currencies has soared. But people who used Bitcoin years ago to buy pizza feel really stupid because if they had held on to it, they would be much wealthier today. When it works that way, it isn't money. It's a mathematically interesting investment vehicle, perhaps.

Do you think that's a good practice? I have always been conflicted.

For one, writing a new function isn't just for vanity--it changes the actual machine code generated (unless an optimizer is smart enough to fix it). I don't like changing the actual operation just to make a program more readable.

But sometimes it just is easier to move a bunch of crap to a function and abstract it away.

I've seen this idea cargo-culted way too often. There's nothing wrong with long functions. In fact, long functions are often easier to grok than ones split apart into dozens of pieces.

With 7 billion people on the planet, I'm not losing sleep over this possibility. Especially since I am increasingly seeing stories about outright elderly women giving birth, a la a joke I read forever ago that "In the future, the pressure to produce grandkids will go way down because our grandparents will still be having babies."

That future appears to have more or less arrived.
The Pixel 2 is almost perfect, and I have no real problems with it, although I'm not sure if I'll ever stop missing my beloved Nexus 5X. That phone was perfect in every way, except for some fatal flaw that randomly killed it. It was made from durable plastics and light enough that it didn't easily damage itself when dropped. All the current thin, dense phones made of painted metal will show permanent scars from almost any physical interaction with another solid surface.
I cannot overstate how important this concept is. Write code (and DESIGN SYSTEMS) that fit in your brain, because the faster you can reload it back into your brain, the quicker you can dispatch bugs and new features down the line.

Nothing in my professional career has caused me more anxiety than encountering complex code to solve a simple problem. It's infuriating, and has long lasting deleterious effects for the life of that code.

What's especially insidious about this problem is that for folks who value short term success over sustainability, they'll struggle with this for a long time, and have all kinds of reinforcement to be skeptical that any of this is even a problem. Once you get used to struggling with complex code some people start to think it's all that can be written.
> The Lattigo library unleashes the potential of lattice-based cryptography in secure multiparty computation for modern software stacks.

To a layman like myself, what does this mean?
Mathematicians and computer scientists have it easy in some sense. You can always argue that math is more difficult and hence your reward is this freedom from expensive lab work, but I think that argument is disingenuous when you look at the human (and humanitarian) component. (And biology is not simple in anyway.)

As much as I like Hardy's statements about pure math, without applied math and biology we are just "clever" statues exhibiting technique and skill, but not directly helping to better the human conditions for living.
Power Complexity On The Rise
> how long is that situation going to hold up.

But you don't actually need to know the internals in order to know how long it will hold up.

You can black box update your probability of fiat currency holding up every month that fiat currency doesn't crash (let's define it as "lose 50% of its value"). In fact, by this metric it's pretty clear that fiat currency probability of holding up is much better then that of most (and all major) cryptos.

If anything, a lot of what ML/data science/quantitative finance has shown us is that hand constructed explanations made by experts typically have bad predictive power and statistical estimates typically have ok predictive power. For things related to money I would trust data over any expert mechanistic explanation.

I agree with this. Static Blogs with Gatsby are incredible once you get past the mental overhead. I chose before hand to do static sites for my blog just for pricing and security reasons. With Gatsby you can do compile time queries to your static files through GraphQL and display content based off your files and their metadata, this means you can do things like automatic tagging and article’s in series all with mainly markdown files with metadata, the occasional React page, and some js config files.
