Like literally the first post issue is completely incorrect, thats one of the issues in reading a post like this in an online thread, literally that user copied part of but not all of the function that is used for RNG. The part they copied uses analog input as one of the sources of entropy, they failed to also include the 6 capacitive touch inputs that are also inputs to the RNG. Those touch inputs literally change every time you press a button and even with atmospheric changes, i.e. it's cloudy out today, your RNG has changed.

RNG.stir((uint8_t )analog1, sizeof(analog1), sizeof(analog1) 4);

touchread1 = touchRead(TOUCHPIN1);

RNG.stir((uint8_t )touchread1, sizeof(touchread1), sizeof(touchread1));

delay((analog1 % 3) + ((touchread1 + touchread2 + touchread3) % 3)); //delay 0 - 6 ms
integrityctr1++;

touchread2 = touchRead(TOUCHPIN2);
RNG.stir((uint8_t )touchread2, sizeof(touchread2), sizeof(touchread2));

touchread3 = touchRead(TOUCHPIN3);

RNG.stir((uint8_t )touchread3, sizeof(touchread3), sizeof(touchread3));

touchread4 = touchRead(TOUCHPIN4);

RNG.stir((uint8_t )touchread4, sizeof(touchread4), sizeof(touchread4));

touchread5 = touchRead(TOUCHPIN5);

RNG.stir((uint8_t )touchread5, sizeof(touchread5), sizeof(touchread5));
touchread6 = touchRead(TOUCHPIN6);

RNG.stir((uint8_t )touchread6, sizeof(touchread6), sizeof(touchread6));

unsigned int analog2 = analogRead(ANALOGPIN2);

RNG.stir((uint8_t )analog2, sizeof(analog2), sizeof(analog2) 4);

// Perform regular housekeeping on the random number generator.

RNG.loop();

delay((analog2 % 3) + ((touchread6 + touchread5 + touchread4) % 3)); //delay 0 - 6 ms

integrityctr2++;

Yes rent control also unfairly discriminates on basis of how long one lived in a place. But rent control doesn't rob the state of revenue---You could argue it lowers it indirectly by reducing the value of landlords' properties, but it also cuts costs by allowing government employees to live closer to where their work. And it also doesn't point to low density (especially if rent control is transferable if a landlord wants to evict everyone and build a higher-density apartment).

In short prop 13 causes a triple whammy of sprawl, poor social services, and unfair taxes, whereas rent control merely causes unfair rents.

LVT and prevalent and intermingled[1] public housing is far better, but sadly we're very far from being able to do those.

Maybe the quantum waveform probabilities are irrational numbers. That's the closest thing I know of that might not be finite and discrete. I'm including fractions in my 'finite and discrete' definition.

My understanding is quantum physics disproves the 'clockwork universe' because it is probabilistic instead of deterministic. Nothing to do with using real numbers.

Also, even if the universe made use of real numbers, the universe can still be computable in an asymptotic sense, which is still inadequate to violate the law of information conservation.

Violation of said law requires essentially non mathematical entities, such as halting oracles and non stochastic processes (neither deterministic, random, nor combination thereof). None of which are dealt with in the STEM fields.
I don't think that is a fair comparison/conclusion because you could also then argue that torture is pleasurable because we can find some people who feel that (at least a subset of torture) is pleasurable to them and therefore people who feel that torture is torture should learn to enjoy it as pleasure.
This is news? People have been doing that for thousands of years.
"researchers played music to a group of chimps (three adult males and four females) and found that all of the chimps responded to the music by moving in dance-like ways—though the degree to which they danced varied greatly between them. [...] the chimps had different moves."

So, we have 7 chimps that responded to an unusual sound (we really don't want to call that danceable music) from a source unknown to them in 7 different ways, and we have n researchers that were set out to interpret that as dance? And these researchers can make a living out of that and get published?

p.s. I skimmed through the original article. It looks like science and this might even be a standard approach in this field (I don't know) but ... I cannot describe what I think of it.
The resources can be better. I can't find it right now (and don't have the time to look for it), but there's some interesting studies that show at least in South Korea, there's something like 3-4x the number of medical imaging devices per capita than in the U.S.

Costs are fractions of U.S. costs. For an extraordinary number of medical situations, one could fly to Korea, get treated, stay in hotels or nice recovery centers (medical hotels), and fly back and still spend less money than in the U.S. with very competitive medical outcomes.

Advice to VCs on this thread trying to convince hiring folks away from tech. giants.

Re-consider (if you can) how you attract engineering talent and capitalize the "product-market-fit" stage of your startups - higher early stage valuations and higher pay for the market rates for the talent. Most talent (I know of) at FAANG is tired of being "cog-in-a-giant-wheel" and, some, would love the opportunities that startups always offered (I am assuming I don't have to enumerate these opportunities for this crowd)?

If you think higher valuations at earlier stages is not a fair ask - just look at capitalization at Series-C, Series-D growth stage companies - most of this money is being used to "buy" revenue these days. In other words, to pay commissions for sales and marketing folks. Buying engineering talent at early stages should be no different in 2019 in my opinion.

We don't have to rob Peter(Founders) to pay Paul(non-founding employees) and pitch one against the other. Just make the pie bigger at early stages. From what I hear, there is plenty of capital chasing good startups.
I would say the original motivation for both is the same, but the outcome is definitely worse with Prop 13.

No, the Nordic countries don't really tax the winners more. The marginal tax rates for top earners there are about the same as in the US. The real difference is that they, along with most other European welfare states, tax the middle class much more than the US does.

> either a plainly disingenuous one where they argue that this is somehow only possible in those specific countries (e.g. due to being small and/or relatively homogeneous)

No, of course it is possible in other countries too. For example, people of Swedish ancestry in the US not only do better than average American, but in fact do much better than Swedes in Sweden.

The only time you should look at your neighbors plate is to see if they have enough.

Otherwise be thankful that Prop 13 will protect you as you get older. I don’t care that some of my neighbors are paying 1/20 what I am paying in taxes. They have lived in the same home for 25 years, they deserve it. I would not want to get kicked out of my house because I couldn’t afford the property taxes, that would be unfair.

And one other thing that you don’t mention is that property taxes get reset if you make upgrades to your house. If someone lives in the same home and makes no upgrades then good for them, it means they can’t afford to move so leave them alone.

When? I can find no references to this ever having occurred, though I can find early 2010s references to fears that it might occur in the (then-)near future, and some later articles contrasting San Jose which did not go bankrupt with Detroit which did.

The proposed benefit of C is that it is “close to the metal”, and from that follows that the generated code is “obvious” and thus its performance characteristics are “easy” to reason about.

It turns out that none of these three things are actually true. That just leaves us with a language poorly adapted to today’s use cases and simultaneously hardware that has optimized for the C abstract machine in not always useful or secure ways.

If the set of all novels is an infinite subset of all finite symbol strings, it may not be computable. This is because the set of all halting programs is not computable, even though each halting program is a finite symbol string. So, we could have a set of novels that enumerate the halting programs (best sellers, those!), and since this subset of novels is not computable, then the set of all novels is not computable.

In San Francisco we have these old ladies who rummage though people's bins looking for redeemable containers. Most are "conscientious" enough to put the rest of the recyclables back in without leaving a mess on the sidewalk, but some are less caring and you wake up having to put things back in the bin. On the other hand I believe rubbish companies consider the practice theft and so they campaign against the practice.

Just to be clear, while they’re avoiding property tax increases, they’re banking massive unrealized capital gains (which will also be passed through untaxed when the property is bequeathed to their children).

Prop13 + stepped up basis in capital gains means that we’ve legislated inequality and in many cases racial inequality since only white families could buy property in the wealthier enclaves of California.
Is this specific to Eastern Europe? I’ve never had anyone send me a GG link!
My take is commercial interests were the ones behind prop 13.

The other negative side of Prop 13 is the property tax rate is too low to support government services which makes California more dependent on income and other taxes. That tends to discourage cities from allowing new units to be built. And to charge high fees for new housing units.

There is this other lesser known shitshow because historically cities and counties had widely different income sources. Some got all of their funds via property taxes. Others imposed special purpose taxes. The former got hosed by prop 13.

That is an interesting idea. I wonder if a small processor core could be stamped out on an fpga and hundreds of small processors can run simultaneously.

Then I wish my c++ objects each ran in a separate (virtual) processor instance. They could have event signalling built into the language as well as the hardware.

It might force people to partition their design for more fine grained parallelism. C++ objects use function calls for interfacing with objects. Using object methods for event handling is just a ridiculous hack. Each object should have its own memory space.

The simply fact (as articulated by CityLab article whose name I forget) is "housing cannot be both affordable and a good investment".

Encouraging the desperation of capital through mass home ownership is a cruel joke. Even ignoring the fact that relatively few "homeowners" have paid off their morgage (https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/how-many-homeowners-hav...), the value extracted is basically by rent seeking against other maybe future member of the same "middle class".

People should own capital through a UBI (common ownership of a bit of everything) or actual productive enterprise (your immigrant small businesses), not price gouge each other.
Where I used to live in Emeryville, I would get woken up by someone digging in the trash in the morning. Short of wearing earplugs, which are uncomfortable and not recommended for wearing while sleeping, there was nothing I could do about it. It was infuriating.

At one place I worked in San Francisco we had a padlock on our trash can. It was worth the inconvenience of unlocking it and locking it back up when taking the trash out. The waste department had keys that could open it. This was in the mission.
I think rowing is a wonderful exercise, with a caveat.

A relative of mine was on a crew team for years. He got into very good shape, and developed extraordinary back muscles, but his chest became sort of small in comparison. It was similar to runners who end up with huge legs and undeveloped arms.

I wonder if rowing could be re-designed to target all the muscles somehow, not just pulling in one direction.

Are there complementary sports or exercises?
Well,it's all about your culture's relationship with it. In NYC, it can be difficult to socialize at times without alcohol because it's very ingrained in the young professional community. In Istanbul, where it isn't, perhaps it's difficult to socialize as a coffee abstainer.

In neither case is it really that difficult to abstain and still socialize, but presuming you don't have a problem and can drink moderately, I can see why the benefits outweigh the negatives.

I think it's two things:

- We keep abstracting. The web browser has almost entirely abstracted away the OS. You run Windows 7, or OS X? Who cares, just log into this web page and do your thing there.

I.e. if you can't enforce some environmental tax elsewhere, you can still tariff the difference. Other countries will then be incentivized to make the same tax so they get the revenue instead of you. Race to the top! What's the problem?!

> The only time you should look at your neighbors plate is to see if they have enough.

That's a nice platitude, but doesn't apply here. I'm paying for my neighbors services. They have as much ability to pay as I do. I want that to be fair. I have no problem helping those in need, but someone who owns a $2MM property isn't in need.

> Otherwise be thankful that Prop 13 will protect you as you get older.

This is red herring being spread by the anti-tax zealots. In all the other states, somehow old people aren't being priced out of their homes despite the lack of prop 13. The reason? Because property prices don't climb as quickly. They also have subsidies for the elderly.

There are lots of solutions to this problem besides freezing taxes.

I'm not worried about being priced out when I'm old, because I plan for taxes to go up. Also, when I get old, I won't need four bedrooms anymore, because my kids will be gone. I will downgrade to a smaller home and let a younger family take my place, as is what happens in most functioning housing markets.

> I would not want to get kicked out of my house because I couldn’t afford the property taxes, that would be unfair.

Worst case, you can take out an equity line to pay the taxes.

> And one other thing that you don’t mention is that property taxes get reset if you make upgrades to your house.

This is only partially true. You only pay extra tax on the cost of the upgrade itself. You don't reset on all the equity you've earned.

The article blames C for the processor designs that emulate older (non-parallel) processors. I think it can be summarised as C having a relatively straightforward translation into hardware-friendly assembly in the past, but these days both major CPUs and compilers are working hard to preserve the same model, so that neither the assembly is hardware-friendly nor efficient/optimizing C compilers are straightforward.
I think this points to the conclusion that you can literally enjoy anything if you contact it repeatedly with the right attitude.

Something way more solid apparently does exist: USB Armory.

https://inversepath.com/usbarmory.html

The hardware is open, the software is mentioned without much detail; I suppose it's not shipping yet.
The authors point was that it’s hard to separate discussion of modern CPU design from the constraints of C. Not from a technical perspective but from a pragmatic/commercial one.

The take away for me was that while C is obviously a higher level abstraction than CPUs, it’s a mistake to think that C has been designed for that hardware, when nowadays it’s the other way around.

Many "modern" desktop apps rely on web based technology which throws them back ages in terms of UI and UX

For an even more WTF experience, look at how CSS had defined how web apps could use the system-defined colours for UI elements, but then it was deprecated due to a very thin "insufficient" and "security/privacy" argument:

https://www.w3.org/TR/css-color-4/#deprecated-system-colors

Obviously they could be made sufficient (imagine if JS was deprecated because it was deemed "insufficient" for making applications behave natively...), and things like Electron could use them without worrying about "security" since it's not in pages served over the network.

(That "security/privacy" argument is really thin, especially when considering how much less customisable the colours have become in newer OSs!)

8. Have a baby

9. Design some cottages. It may be many years before we're able to build one, though [note: one year ago we designed and built and moved into our house]

13. Make a few more "for fun" websites

14. Make a small LLC? And sell some art stuff? I'm not sure what yet, maybe pottery or wood things, just for fun.

16. On the 3rd field, start to build a temple to Artemis or Apollo, or the sun. It will almost certainly have to be timber, not stone. Also build a small temple or shrine to Christ. Probably won't be done in 2020.

18. Start a book of fables, try to self-publish it before the end of 2021? I have only some notes for this so far, I really don't know how long it will take.
