The review doesn't mention that he was a patent abuser (though that is why the film industry grew in California).

Also, the fun part of telling his story backwards ("This ludic approach makes for some awkward challenges for the reader, who meets Edison as an old man, his children as adults and his second wife before his first." wrote the reviewer) is that it makes a parallel to Merlin who lived his own life backwards, sadly knowing that his "future" was for everybody he knew to forget him. Still, a nice parallel.

I think the fed is mostly concerned about price inflation of a reasonably moral basket of goods. They want it around 2%. It's the "vig" for participating in economic life.

Except it's not against antitrust law. As long as they document that it may not run well on non-Intel processors, they are in the clear, at least in the US.

I don't have any hard numbers, but I'm going to wager that regulatory capture through pole attach rules has way more impact than high initial investment or landlords.

I've experienced how local governments handle ISP regulation first-hand. I can say with confidence that it causes many, if not most, issues with ISP monopolies in suburban and rural areas in the US.
So to clarify–your understanding of the article is that, it says that a product engineer should be working at an expert level (or at least same level as full-timers of those roles) in about 10 different roles in addition to developer? And they should be doing this during 8 hours of every single day, context switching between different roles in small time slices?

If the above is your understanding of the article, then I'm sorry to say, you seriously need to work on your basic reading comprehension skills.

And if you actually understood the real point of the article, that all of the described activities happen spread out over longer periods of time, as the engineers build up a momentum of total product/business knowledge/expertise/rapport with other stakeholders in the org, by actually being curious, asking questions, and offering measured feedback; if you really understood this, then seriously, I have to question why even bother to reply and waste everyone's time? Totally pointless.
If you read the article you’d find that system has not been implemented nationwide, numbers are the full address.
There is a con to being a product minded software engineer. When you are in organizations that do checkbox driven development (i.e. build features so it looks like your product has the widest feature set), it can be disheartening. You will ask why build this? and will get a believable answer. However, once it get's built you will notice that no one pays attention to the feature (no analytics, no reports, no iteration, etc.). At some point in the future, maybe a year or two down the line, you will notice a huge bug raised with the feature. Whoops for 20% of the users, it didn't work. You feel bad at first for your bug, but then realize, that no users even noticed the feature gone. Your suspicions that you were building something that didn't even matter are confirmed.

This has happened to me a lot. I was on a team that was on one of the "most important" projects to the company. We had the CTOs daily attention. You felt important and we had a large team who worked hard to ship it in one year. It was deemed a success by the CEO and myself and many of the team members got staffed on other teams (basically the next highest priority project for the company). Some other engineers got put on legacy duty for maintaining the project. After a year, I barely heard about the project (we had so many new projects) but we still maintained it and it was still on our website. 1.5 years later, I get a p2 bug that basically shows the whole product had stopped working for 3 months due to a front end bug. I got pulled to fix the bug and worked hard to find it and fix, but at the end I was demoralized because I realized my team had wasted a year on a feature no customer cared about enough to complain until 3 months after it stopped working.

Basically, it can be really demoralizing to be product minded engineer if your organization is not. This happened in an org that heavily talked the talk about product market fit and testing, but the truth was we were checkbox driven. We just wanted the widest feature set among competitors (even if they didn't always work).

I really like the steelman interpretation. I suspect that often times, PG's trying to express some sort of core idea, but readers bring their own context with it, and apply it to something else, in this case, YC. And in a different thread, interviews.

But if one were to find oneself in a situation where there are no gatekeeper tests, then how would you go about doing great work? And by being able to see it as an idealism, at least we have a target to shoot for, even if we might fall short in practice.

I would guess that some felons might make it onto a jury with a felony that was (1) a long time ago, (2) completely unrelated to the felony alleged in the current trial, and (3) generally regarded to be a more minor crime.

But I would guess that few felons will make it onto juries, and the ones that do will endure embarrassing questions during jury selections, in front of a room full of their peers, about their past crimes and whether or not they are now sufficiently honest citizens.

Slimv is great. I have recently written a blog post comparing Slimv and Vlime (two SLIME-like plugins for Vim): https://susam.in/blog/lisp-in-vim-with-slimv-or-vlime/.

The US Fed has a dual mandate of both full employment and inflation control. Other central banks around the world only have mandates for inflation control, but the US is special in this regard.
Which crippled the console, because you couldn't play games online without updating. And if that wasn't bad enough, soon after you couldn't even play new games offline. I used my PS3 as a backup computer when I was at school (came in handy when my laptop died), so I didn't update it. When I bought Dark Souls, I found out I couldn't play it.
Those are mergers and acquisitions. I said Apple needs to find new product categories outside of consumer electronics. They were going to make a car at one point but the project imploded.

It's really not healthy for a company to build a whole constellation of products and services around one product only. It creates unnecessary risk because if that product ever sours, everything will fall apart.

I think questions like this are underappreciated.

I propose that the potential underlying mechanisms of why people behave the way they do are described here, at least in part:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heuristic

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thinking,_Fast_and_Slow

I think it's useful to observe how people, particularly intelligent people, interact with these ideas, and the inherent uncertainty involved.

Are people curious about how nature plays out, or are they tied in some way to nature being a particular way? Are they willing to discuss these ideas, and defend their beliefs, or is there something subconsciously repulsive about certain beliefs that renders them unable to discuss it rationally, but instead forces them to revert to defensive techniques like appeal to authority or popular tribal axioms.

Is uncertainty acceptable?

You support property taxes because a miscalculation can cause people to pay more and is hard to detect?

[Replying to dead comment]

Actually, yes. Property taxes are paid for by the people best able to afford the tax.

And with property taxes, its easier to catch errors and errors are individualized, meaning that the error is easier to correct once found. After all, this one was caught, and corrected, quite easily.

Further to note: it was inappropriate for the related jurisdictions to use the erroneous property tax numbers as the basis for their budgets without first vetting the numbers. A jump in the property tax base that large should have triggered an automatic audit.
It's just political / PR nonsense. The fed doesn't care about employment (except how it impacts prices). And they shouldn't. If they did, they'd risk hyper inflation and things for everyone would get much much worse.

Anyways, the fed can only do so much but try to keep the laws of physics in place. Government spending, Entitlements and taxes are the real levers of economic influence.

US government policy has traditionally relied on a combination of entrepreneurs and military might for global economic mastery. Trump is (ironically) undermining military might by destabilizing alliances. Entrepreneurs are doing ok. He is increasing labor participation or at least stopping the decline. This all is making global economy more efficient and meritorious.

Trade wars are bad, yes, but China was/is a bad actor and was perverting the US economy by making it lazy. Trump is trying to kick it in the ass and get it going again.

I hate Trump, but my feeling is that these fed injections might just be the fact that global efficiencies are pushing rates down below what the fed is comfortable with. We will pay for all of this in other ways no doubt, eg, climate change, weaker social safety nets, nuclear proliferation, etc.

Short term, things look good. Longer term there are reasons to freak out. It's not really trumps fault though, people just generally can't reason with the fact that you can make things good and bad at the same time, so arguments and debates are all pretty much irrational. Why not vote in Trump, nobody else is making sense either.

Andrew Yang is a perfect example, the only guy who is talking sanity but is at 3% in the polling.
You can't just hack your way into being a STEM professor at a top institution. You actually have to do stuff, discover new things. It's analogous to actually building a good product if you're a startup founder.

It's different because Trump is not their guy..

I'm guessing he said very little when Maxine Waters, among several other politicians made several direct and open statements such as, "you confront them restaurants, gas stations, shopping places, and even their homes".

Further, there is a huge push by news agencies to inhibit the flow and regain control of information. The recent Gayle King interview with Mark Zuckerburg is a great example of this. She was absolutely beside herself that Zuck wouldn't censor certain ads (unlike some other platforms), implying several times that people were just too stupid to evaluate and assess for themselves.. It was pretty ironic to hear Zuck say several times that people should be able to make up their own minds to a journo. But that's where we're at.

I think Trump is garbage, but the truth is that anyone spouting such nonsense as above about Trump really care little about truth, they are about agenda, which is fine if they were just honest about it. They associate Trump with this pie in the sky extreme view of some nefarious journalism censorship happenings. Yeh no.. They Got their credentials revoked, a privilege...

Your first criticism demands people ignore Hanlon's Razor ("never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity") and buy in to a most bizarre business model: that the Brave team had a plan to defraud users of donations to unverified creators.

It's hard to overstate how absurd this is as you work through the implications: it means this business model is in conflict with the obvious goal of growing the ecosystem of verified creators as quickly as possible, and assumes incredible ignorance from the Brave team about likely revenue from users unwittingly donating to unverified creators.

The reality is without creators actively pushing their supporters to donate to them via Brave's rewards system the funding flow would largely be Brave 'promoters' pushing creators to use that funding channel.

Instead of this nonsensical explanation it's easy to understand the simple and correct one: Brave had an aggressive growth marketing strategy where they imagined being able to email unverified creators with emails about how much $$$ they could collect from users who had started donating to them, and in doing so accelerate verification of creators.

The stupidity here is that they didn't properly consider that some creators would rightly object to an implication Brave Rewards was an approved donation channel for that creator, which could theoretically risk cannibalising donations that would otherwise go through other channels (that it would likely be a negligible amount doesn't make it any less unethical). Brave did the right thing in fixing it in an early public beta, which is the point of public betas.

Your second criticism about user agent spoofing depends on a fundamental lack of awareness about the whole history of user agent strings, which is basically a story of challenger browsers spoofing the user agent string of the dominant browser within an ecosystem for compatibility reasons [0].

That you attempt to assert that UA spoofing is a nefarious practice (but presumably only for Brave, not for every other browser that does this, such as Chrome for Android which presents as Safari[1]) is yet more evidence of the low credibility of these criticisms.

"Supercomputer projects needed the original PS3, not the PS3 Slim, because Sony had removed Linux support from the console in response to hacks — which later led to a class-action settlement. This article originally stated that it was because the PS3 Slim was less powerful. We regret the error."

Wonder what made the writer originally assume that? Mid-generation console refreshes would be the one occurence where much care would be taken to keep the performance not faster, not slower, but completely identical against the original hardware. I remember reading somewhere that the Xbox 360 refreshes had some hardware to intentionally add latency for inter-chip communications to keep performance identical.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: the problem is always scale. The modern system of American education really was born out of idealism, in fact the same ideals that the comments here are using to attack it. It doesn't even matter what you start with. When you scale, you end up with mass education, i.e. a system tasked with the job of actively taking care of almost every American child for 40 hours a week, whether they want it or not. There is no way to have that without the inevitable accompanying problems.

> The question is that the society needs a good mixture of creative and boring people and I don't know how we can achieve that. My theory right now is the society is somehow auto-adjusting itself - like the brain auto-adjusting itself in the above article - to have its "critical" state, i.e. having the right mixture of people: not too boring but not too revolutionary.

True. But, our society optimizes for economic output, and writes off any anomalies as "stupid". Scientists are pushing us forward into more complex life and societies, but it seems we don't have a similarly sophisticated balancing discipline that ensures we can handle this pace of change.

Even worse, the consensus seems to be that we don't even need to think about such things, and any suggestion otherwise is interpreted as hostile.
It's an unfortunate trend. I got a PR merged which removed an "Is GenuineIntel" check in the ZFS on Linux crypto layer. It checked for GenuineIntel, and only if found did it check cpuid. Dunno who originally checked that in, but it seemed pretty ridiculous to me. AMD has had an AES-NI implementation since Bulldozer.

I feel it would have been acceptable to say if you had a mutant x86 CPU which set the AES-NI bit in CPUID and then had a non-compliant implementation l, that was on you.
