>> And when founders really get a taste of that credit? That sweet, sweet taste of dilution-free capital, flowing freely to and from a continuous growth vehicle

At that point, cryptocurrency prices will start rising fast as fiat currencies start hyperinflating; free money is worthless money.

People will dump the old fiat currencies and start buying up cryptocurrencies with their free debt-fueled fiat.

Companies will no longer need debt; to raise capital, they will be able to create a new cryptocurrency and list it on Decentralized Exchanges; then they will use the profits from their business operation to buy-back coins from investors at a predetermined rate.
Companies could even use open source code to operate their own decentralized exchanges so that there would be no intermediaries between a company and its investors.

One thing that probably taints my perspective: the majority of machines that I have used, at home and work, have been thinkpads and business-class Dells, so I've always enjoyed excellent hardware support. Without that, I'd understand the balance being different.
It is a reasonable expectation given lack of financial transparency.

That's the thing I find most interesting about the Mormon church.

In most other churches if you don't get into heaven your afterlife really really really sucks. They tend to be very binary--eternity in paradise, or eternity of inconceivable torture and torment.

Mormon afterlife has four possible destinations: the Celestial Kingdom, the Terrestrial Kingdom, the Telestial Kingdom, and the outer darkness.

The Celestial Kingdom corresponds with heaven of other Christian sects.

The outer darkness kind of corresponds to hell in that it is where Satan resides, but I don't know if it is a place to torment like it is in other sects.

It's pretty hard to get sent to the outer darkness. It's for people who know that God is real, and choose to go against Him. Note that this does not include people that are told about God and do not believe--it is people who receive a personal revelation that He exists and still reject it.

Those who are merely told about God and reject those teachings, but who were decent people get the Terrestrial Kingdom.

Those who don't qualify for that because they were not decent, such as liars, sorcerers, whoremongers, etc., get the Telestial Kingdom. They are resurrected and given an immortal physical body. No torment or torture...the Telestial Kingdom is supposed to be a very nice place to live out your now eternal physical life.

The Telestial Kingdom sounds acceptable to me, and I'd probably actually make it to the Terrestrial Kingdom if Mormonism turns out to be right.

So what's the case to convert to Mormonism, or for people raised Mormon to stick with it? With the churches with the binary paradise/infinite torture afterlife, a Pascal's Wager type argument might work, even if I think there is a low probability that the church is right.

With Mormonism, if I think that there is only a low probability that it is right, a Pascal's Wager approach can tell me to optimize for my mortal life.

Even if I decide that some sort of Christian or Christian offshoot must be correct, if I narrow it down to a list that includes Mormonism and one or more of the eternal damnation sects, another Pascal's Wager like argument would tell me to pick one of the eternal damnation sects.
I’m 35 and we grew up with music on the Television. My main CD player was a Play Station. Sometimes a friend brought a new CD over and we listened to it in my room on repeat. We would watch music shows when they were aired on programmed television, or tune into specific radio shows that had “the top 10 popular songs” or something. When we learned about Napster no one had high enough speed internet to download but the most popular songs, but yet we did, and bragged about owning so and so song.

I bet people that were 35 at the time had similar complaints about us not discussing and appreciating music like they did when they were had their mix-tapes playing on their parent’s stereo.

It's worth noting that there's another credible PS4 emulator project that's been around for a while: Orbital [1].

I don't bring this up to suggest that GPCS4 isn't important or innovative, but to look at the big picture. Orbital is emulating PS4 at a low level and trying to actually run the PS4 operating system; its first "hype" screenshot was of the recovery mode prompting to push the PS button on the not-yet-emulated controller. Following Orbital, I've felt for a while that there would basically be a two-pronged approach where Orbital enables reverse-engineering and another emulator leverages those insights to enable a higher-performance approach for actually playing games. GPCS4 looks a lot like it could become that other emulator.

> Likely? so let me get this straight, they didn’t even record which days were sunny? Extraordinary claims and all that. Sorry but I’m right about this no matter how many downvotes I get.

Please just read the paper. Events were timestamped, aggregated over two years, and took place at all times of day (including well after dark) with the same outcome.

Yes, that's a straight up admission of p-hacking.

Also, the weasel word "truly" signifies deceit.
Concerns mount about coronavirus spreading in hospitals, study suggests
I’m really surprised that the major credit card companies are not jumping into the mobile payment arena(similar to WeChat and Alipay). I think this is the future of consumer transactions.

I spent three months in China, and had 1 opportunity to use my credit card: booking a flight home. Everywhere else, I was out of luck. That forced me to use WeChat wallet and Alipay, and I got to say that the experience was really good. There’s so little friction to spending money and can be used for basically everything in China.

It must be way lower fees for everyone involved as well. I only need to do a single bank transaction for the month(loading my wallet) and then after that it’s just swapping credits. Perhaps that’s why cc companies are reluctant.
I was in two MSX user groups in 1984 and onward in the Netherlands. One was for all kinds of usage and one was for ‘hackers’. I was teaching people at both and learning at the hacker one. It was great fun dragging computers, eprom programmers, boxes with diskettes and sometimes boxes with electronics (like memory chips and soldering irons) to the crappy community house to have a sunday of fun.
Formal verification in the basic parts of the infrastructure.

User interface responsiveness.

Why not? Science that insists on hypotheses written down beforehand is cargo-cult science. Observation is the first and most productive science. Double-blind experiments are to cement gains.
The decline of usability, recognizability and coherence in desktop user interfaces. I honestly think we reached peak UX some time in the mid-90s. With the advent of touch devices, paradigms are mixing in a way that's directly hostile to productivity.
Less communicable than SARS?

No, it is more because SARS was only communicable when the patient was at their worst. This can spread during all phases.

The mortality is lower than SARS but much higher than the flu.

To put it in real terms. If you take the number of people you ever met in your life and gave them a bad flu you might find one who dies. Compare that to taking your mother/father/brothers and immediate families and giving them corona where at least one would die. Compared to SARS where someone in your immediate family would die or ebola where either you or your wife would die.

I think most trouble today comes from the low level imperative & error prone way of expressing computation, it's just prohibitively hard to ensure correctness with today's languages.

If we continue with the aaa games example, we can see that on consoles programmers do manage to extract parallelism even from cpu side work, it just requires a lot of work, debugging grit, tools, talent and budget along with a specific application with limited parameters.

We just need to make this kind of work easier and PLT seems to me the solution.
OK, it seems to be eddies. Just as for ice circles in rivers, in pools below constrictions. But they don't know why eddies are forming in Lake Baikal.

Oh, just immersion. Thing on screen blows up, half a second later you hear it blow up is really offputting.
You could answer this research question much more accurately by building an app and collecting data from users mobile devices.
It was exactly what I thought. Especially they explicitly say

>"With Manifold’s design, we turned the traditional ML model visualization challenge on its head. Instead of inspecting models, we inspect individual data points "

It really seems that they went on implanting the more sophisticated step (which seems very promising), while skipping the straight forward one.

What am I missing?
Deaths are easy to count if they are counted. Local doctors have photos of more dead in the hospital than were reported by China.

Numbers don’t line up based on a basic statistical analysis.

I really enjoyed managing a CoreOS cluster in the past. It was one of those project where every product developed was great, like etcd, Ignition, CoreDNS and even Fleet, at the time.

I wonder how far they'd have gotten if they'd refused to sell.
Mostly right, but I disagree that there was ever in America a time when you could take "free" resources. All resources in America were stolen from the original people inhabiting the land. Instead of coming to help improve the land, Europeans came to steal the resources for themselves.

> and also of a people preparing/amassing the relative wealth/supplies (Noah, Joseph, etc).

Matthew 19:24, direct 'quote' from Jesus: "Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." Seems pretty clear.

> being to only have necessary debt (e.g. university or a house)

I work for a Mormon owned company, this ideology even extends there. It's completely ignorant of why debt exists and how it can be used to offset inflation and improve capital expense flows. As a 'doctrine' it's misplaced at best.

> Why does the LDS church do it?

They cite the parable of the three talents, but I think they've gravely misunderstood that passage. The point wasn't for the servants to make money for themselves, it was to share their efforts and work with the world around them in order to improve it for everyone.

God had given them these gifts and they weren't to waste them, not hoard them for themselves.
Love how it says undefined at the very bottom.
I’ve been explaining this concept to my Christian fundamentalist family members for a long time. They look at the right-wing as more faithful to the tenets of their religious literature, but I don’t see it. What I see is more of a left leaning set of ideals, that aligns with the teachings of Jesus. I think the population of people that are left leaning and Christian practicing is low and they don’t tend to be as influential on the national stage as the religious right.

Most major problems now are people problems, not engineering problems.

One example: lots of software devs have no training and/or interest in security, and employers have no way to vet that.

Another: there is no way for users to trust SaaS security. I have no idea whether (as a random example) Atlassian has a great security culture or a terrible one. We just trust people who seem trustworthy, usually due to their polished marketing.
>“He said because they are media it may be ok but the average joe and company should not get any ideas of doing the same thing.”

How would they even know this was done?

All facial recognition tech benefits from plausible deniability. You could just easily say a face was recognized by an individual who saw the photo online and sent an anonymous tip. They have no leverage.
Now that you mention it, my childhood dog almost always faced mostly north or south when conducting her business
This sounds like a situation where no one can win 100% of the time. Some people who are left alone after leaving the church complain that they're "alienated" by their neighbors, while those whose neighbors try to keep them involved are victims of "invasive harassment". And those who are content don't mention it, so no one hears about them.

Any time I've heard of someone wishing not to be contacted, I've seen members of the church respect that desire. Of course that doesn't stop everyone (because not everyone may be aware of that desire). Instead of looking to criticize, please try to understand that people are usually just trying to be friendly and respectful, even if it doesn't always seem that way.
Do you have examples of companies with positive margin and operating cashflow that went belly up because of outstanding debt?

I would think the debt holders would rather cut a deal than let the company go belly up. $.50 on the dollar is better than zero cents on the dollar.
I got a privacy notice update from my bank today. In the past I was generally OK with my bank to generally share data and all that because it goes toward credit scores and a variety of other things.

I'm not so sure any more. I feel like we've reached a point where a massive, trustable, profile of me is for sale. I don't think I want a bank that is allowed to do it any more.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a bank focused on privacy? (and for that matter credit cards?)

I know I know - probably impossible, but I am pretty sure I just created a market, who's with me?
That difference means everything in the world.
I'd agree with you, but the killer feature digital notes have, for me, is the quick and effortless searching.
You'll have to factor economies of scale, shipping costs, mulitstep glass-blowing steps, and importation duties.

Finally, it's what the market is willing to pay.

I play my records like crazy, some are new heavy vinyl, but most is crappy 70s and 80s vinyl. And I have never noticed the supposed drop in quality the usage is supposed to inflict on them. I think the stories might be overblown.
While I never used CoreOS, the team certainly played a big part in the new wave of devops. The team also brought us etcd and a lot of the niceties of the devX in kubernetes et al these days. The article doesn't mention him, but shoutout to Brandon Phillips (technical lead) and his team for so much innovation in the space!
I balked at that claim too, so I looked it up. Here's what might be the source : https://www.cnbc.com/2020/02/01/coronavirus-more-of-china-ex...
> Singapore seems to be the worst affected country out of China. If you read the news the virus is spreading person to person there in an uncontrolled way.

I am in Singapore right now, and this is untrue.

The government is just reporting infection cases as they show up, and tracing the patients' contacts to keep them under quarantine.

I suspect that some other countries in the region might have higher actual coronavirus infection numbers, but are reporting the cases as influenza or pneumonia.
Agreed. I tried using the "pencil" on the iPad. Writing on glass doesn't feel as satisfying as writing on paper at all, despite the iPad being very very responsive. I also started using an ink pen to slow down my pen strokes so that I think more before I put things down. Oddly that's changed how structured my thoughts are.
I agree. I first try to keep my commitments down to a point where I can remember things. When I can't, I like the flexibility of pen and paper for jotting, scribbling, and sketching.

When I've run large meetings/reviews, I would walk around the room after things got underway to gauge how people were reacting to the discussions. The people with laptops would be working on unrelated material. Unfortunately, these would often be the senior reviewers.

Too soon, I know, but can we soon start talking about abandoning all corporate-managed open source projects?

I wouldn't be surprised at this move if I were a CoreOS user, but I would be pretty pissed off that the next 6 months of my work would be migrating to a new platform for production work, all because the Linux distro I used got bought for its IP and customer list.

Or, say when HashiCorp is eventually bought, and suddenly its parent company decides, no more free tools for you, kids! Buy our other, more crappy products instead, but here's some free samples you can use at small scale. Also you need to rewrite all your code.

This extends to virtually every important project in the cloud computing ecosystem. They're all just run by companies, not a distributed decentralized community of users and developers (cat-herded by a BDFL) like every successful multi-generational open source project. There's also only one widely-supported Linux distribution in the world which isn't run by a corporation, meaning if that distribution ever goes down, everyone who uses Linux for more than its kernel is at the mercy of that given corporation, and we'll probably see massive fragmentation.

Open Source and GNU basically got its start to prevent corporations from preventing you from doing what you wanted with software, but it had a nasty side-effect: they can now make whatever you do with it obsolete and unsupportable. A bit like a car manufacturer no longer shipping replacement parts, forcing you to find some machinists to support an aging fleet of obsolete vehicles. And sure, if the impact is only to corporate engineers, who cares, but as one of those engineers, it is very annoying that we literally are letting them do this to us.
Why do people feel a strong need to organize their day, spend tremendous amount of time(ironically) and energy in exactly what they need to do that day and how many calories they eat?

I feel the complete opposite. I structure projects, not my time. I want a loose schedule. You could stop worry about time, try a free schedule, enjoy life a little, and get work done. This whole "productivity" bullshit is an urban concept. Back when my grand pa was a farmer, he didn't have a schedule but he worked all day. The task can take as long it has to. I am willing to bet, your average urban wizbang with TODO apps and productivity hacks will not match the output.
Is this why some folks think dogs seem to be able to predict earthquakes? They have some built-in connection?

Not if you want to claim statistical significance. The math behind this method is based on defining the hypothesis before seeing the data (and even then it's usually very weak evidence of a tiny signal within the noise).
Makes sense - if you don’t need them why have them installed. I wish operating systems had better ways to let you install less stuff.
