I had non-technical people coming to me asking if I knew how to mine "bitcoins" right before the the crypto bubble popped. If I had any left it would have definitely been time to exit the market.
In case you're unaware, you can create multireddits, by appending subs (e.g. r/art+painting) and then save those.

I have multireddits set up for whatever mood I'm in (e.g. gifs of cool things, text stories, finance, news, etc.)

r/multihub has some good collections.
You'd have to self impose exile.

You are required to enter the US on your US passport if you have one.

If you wanted to go back (say to the funeral of a friend, or something equally important) then they could detain you until you paid what they thought was due.
Universal Healthcare does not guarantee affordability, only access. You must be thinking of "Free Universal Healthcare".

And no, the US does not have it. You can be denied insurance and you won't be able to see most doctors because of it. Some ERs won't even treat you without insurance, especially if it's an expensive procedure.
Ok.

Can you describe to me how you’d design RH to ensure 100% uptime?

“Failure is unacceptable” and “failure implies total incompetence” are different statements.
Some people claim Agile is dying, and some people agonize over Agile practices, But do we really know what is NOT Agile?
This is a pretty unfair assessment. He didn't have to use his acquisition money to start YC or create the community site you are using right now.

You are also completely dismissing that Y Combinator grew from nothing into the top seed stage firm in the world. Look up typical returns on accelerators and incubators. Look up the number of unicorn companies that have come from Y Combinator as well.
Does anyone know of a similar tutorial for C, C++, Python, et al?

> As you say YC admission or raising funds from investors isn't a measure of business success...but then again I haven't seen a tech unicorn that hasn't been funded by investors.

There is a difference between a company getting investor funding and the investor funding being a significant measure of success.

There are plenty of unicorns that didn't raise money until well after they were already considered a success. A couple examples off the top of my head would be:

* Github - first round was a $100mil series A at a $650mil valuation about 5 years after founding.

* Atlassian - first round was a $60mil round 8 years after founding.

I'm sure there are plenty more that are easier to find once you know what you're looking for.

Solar is not only intermittent (day/night) but also varies greatly with nebulosity. I would think waves still exist at night.

Also, they advertise the maximum power output, not the actual power output (wind as a ~20% actual power output for instance).
I would personally advise against taking advice from Reddit beyond simply basic answers about various financial products and maths.

My problem with larger communities on Reddit is that prevailing opinions seem to emerge, and anything that questions or disagrees with them gets downvoted to hell. On the personal finance subreddits these include ideas like "You should always have 18 months of expenses saved" and "Any more than $10,000 for your wedding is a reckless and gross waste of money" and "Look how smart I am for having a mega-backdoor roth ira instead of a regular 401k like all the idiot sheeple."

I still think having a relationship with a financial advisor you trust is better than taking advice from strangers on the internet.
This is a really interesting position, I'm interested in how you arrived at it. Do you think that if killing something is fun it will result in more things being killed, or is your issue more fundamentally with the idea of killing being fun?
I got it to run on a different port just fine with the MO_PORT environment variable, FWIW.
Beam forming is still good for outdoor use if it is cheaper. Dish is a significant part of the installation cost. In some places it is not easy or even possible to install a dish (for example, it might be prohibited).
> It is possible to shoot flies out of the air. There is nothing else like it.

I mean, personally, I just spray them with Windex. (Which doesn’t so much kill them as stop them from being able to fly temporarily, at which point you can find them on the ground trying to slowly walk away, and do as you will with them.) And it has the convenient property that you already probably have a sprayer-bottle of it in your house. If you don’t, a spray bottle of {vinegar, soapy water, alcohol} works, too.

Also, these droplets of light solvents just dry cleanly off of whatever surface the droplets land on, without creating a scratch or a stain. I can’t imagine what spraying salt everywhere would do to my painted walls and (hardwood) floors.
Feels like there's a whole other side being left out - there's no correspondence with Quora posted, just "Long story short: they accused me of foul play and told me that they weren’t going to pay out my earnings. When I inquired about the whole ordeal they were neither able to provide proof for their claims nor were they willing to specify what they accused me of."

Definitely curious what foul play he was accused of.
I agree that the vast majority of VC is just a shitty index fund and crapshoot.

I do think that YC, from a Performance perspective is light years ahead of all the others that launched just after it did.

For me, the skill of PG was being relentlessly focused on the core of what made startups in that era super leveraged. That insight is obvious now but it wasn’t at the time. The essays did synthesize explicitly how and why startups work. No one else was taking such an extreme position: that you just needed to make
Stuff people wanted and the rest would be viable.

Lots of VCs to this day still think there’s all this other shit you need. And if I’m being honest, some YC leaders have bought into that too.

I agree, like all white male founders and rich before and after PG, that 90% of it is extreme privilege and chance but that’s literally all of tech Wealth at the moment
Material design is among the worst design languages I've ever seen. Developers without an eye for design typically use native widget toolkits which are superior to material design.

Gestures may be commonplace but are not understood. They are inconsistently implemented and you can tell the general populous doesn't understand them if you watch folks use them (or mistakenly trigger them) 'in the wild'.

Material design documentation is internally inconsistent. The numerous re-implementations are inconsistent. Usage of the libraries are inconsistent. The first-party usage is inconsistent. The documentation leaves holes in common use cases and steers toward uncommon cases (FAB for example). Consistency is a requisite feature of a good UI design.

Material design completely fails an accessibility review. From the labels referenced in the article to the terrible contrast and lack of meaningful dimension and dividing elements.

No amount of money invested in documentation is going to make material design any better.

Material design should be scrapped. There are no redeeming qualities.

>you think it is because people changed their views, I think it is because a big group of people bitterly opposed to this died off, opening the door to change.

A group of people bitterly opposing this did not all die off in the space of a mere decade or less. That's the problem with your reasoning.

The same thing happened in the 60s with civil rights legislation.

I’m glad someone took a gamble on an MVP that needed 100+ to pull off. We need more of that — 100 people is still a pretty small organization, even for law firms. We have lots of problems that need 100+ to solve.

But the ability to pivot was obviously hamstrung. The team necessary for “plan b” didn’t have much overlap with “plan a.”
It's about advertising. Each question provides an opportunity for many people to answer it. It's like a trivia game -- you don't pay people to answer trivia questions. They come to give an answer, and they get shown an ad.

If they get lucky, they may also be able to show an ad to somebody who got there via Google with a vaguely similar question. They spent a number of years getting a very good reputation with a "Top Writers" program, attracting people who wrote good answers in exchange for merch (but not cash). That provides a lot of inbound links, and now they're monetizing it.

Yeah, but both of those devices are dishes. What we're discussing is what's possible without a dish.
My general rule of thumb:

Turns out its just too early in the day. I wasn't saving the variable beyond setting it. So when I switched terminals it didn't exist. Put it in my bash profile and all is well.
So cultural differences like substance abuse and suicide between the US and Europe explain nothing there, but cultural differences between people with and without health insurance in the US explain everything?

You're basically making the opposite point. Maybe people also live longer in Europe because they have more of a safety net (and therefore less severe poverty) in general, and so what the US really needs is a UBI rather than single payer.
This is an innovative application of existing membrane technology that is cool to see! It’s great to see people thinking outside the box on these problems and emulating nature in smart ways.

Some people are possibly misinterpreting the potential impact of this, as mentioned in the article:

“For this reason, capillary-driven desalination is likely not a feasible alternative for large-scale desalination applications. Instead, we envision that synthetic mangrove devices could be integrated into urban infrastructure for passive stormwater management.”
It does matter a lot if the 5% of a product end up in the landfill vs if 100% of it end up at the landfill.

It also matters a lot if one product end up at the landfill after 10 years or if one product end up at the landfill every year, resulting in ten products at the landfill during the same period.
Is that an ABI break due to the extra parameter? I skimmed the paper, but it only seemed to talk about the standard table-based unwind in passing, with no mention of compatibility. Did I miss something?

If it is in fact an ABI break, how much of an obstacle would that be to getting this through the committee? I was also under the impression that up-to-date compilers/runtimes are not something one can take for granted in the embedded world, so recompiling everything is a shaky proposition.
Calm Anxiety and our journey on Foredge AI
Gates probably at least 1000x-ed his parents wealth. By just about any measure that's being self-made, as the GGP correctly pointed out. If 1000x-ing doesn't count as self-made exactly what meaningful measure of self-madeness and social mobility do you propose?

degree of privilege doesn't diminish

Privilege is a vague term that has become a term of political abuse
and has ceased to be analytically useful, I recommend to avoid it. For example, does anyone who uses it bother to quantify privilege,
after all we all stand on the shoulders of giants? How is the modern use of the term privilege useful, given the vastly different outcomes of the children of the rich? As I said, not every child of upper middle class families become Gates/Zuck ...

> most are horribly wrong, to the point where they are either completely nonsensical in the given context or just misleading enough to mean something slightly different in the context,

That's because translators will get just a bunch of strings, with no context.

Only if they are lucky, they will do partial handbacks and will receive builds with their translation included.
Sorry if this is a naive question, I don't work in supply chain, but do companies usually know the suppliers of their direct supplier? Or have ways to manage that kind of indirect risks ?

Because if you move your factory from China to Mexico, but some parts of your Mexico factory are still sourced from China, you have only masked the problem.

There are other country-specific personal finance forums on Reddit too, such as r/PersonalFinanceCanada.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply! I was basing the immunity question on comments from doctors like the below quote. It sounds like one won't easily be re-infected with the same strain? But if it mutates later, or your antibodies diminish, then you could get re-infected? That doesn't sound as bad as being stuck in an infinite loop of re-infection.

If you survive, are you immune?

People who are infected and then recover will likely show some immunity to the virus.

But it’s not lifelong. It wanes over time. If it’s seasonal, it may ebb and flow.

According to the article, one station is rated at ~100kW (that's maximum power output).

A typical nuclear 3rd generation nuclear reactor outputs ~900MW-1GW.

Assuming an impossible 100% charge (ratio between rated and actual generated power), that's still 10000x (!) less power than one nuclear reactor. Put differently, you'd need 10000 of these stations to generate the same amount of electricity as _one_ nuclear reactor.

Then one needs to consider how long that plant can deliver energy. They don't give concrete numbers for that technology, but again taking nuclear again as an example, reactors are designed to run for a a minimum of 40 years (some reactors are now certified for 80 years in the US). Solar and wind are ~20 years.

All in all, love the tech, but the laws of physics are pretty harsh.
It's a bit of both, but you're absolutely right that Quora carries a significant chunk of the blame here. The guy may have been a spammer, but he only became so because of the incentives from Quora's partner program. Quora encourages people to become spammers, and then punishes them when they do. It sounds like a weird kind of test of whether you can resist their incentives.

Ending the partner program when you fail that test might make sense, but quora not paying for the questions they asked for seems unfair, possibly fraudelent. But if Quora wants quality questions to come out of this partner program, they'd better take a good look at their incentives. Maybe reward people only for their 5 best questions every month or so.

Hmm... sounds like another community we all know. This is not a unique problem to Reddit or large communities. It's inevitable in any forum when you try to use crowdsourcing to moderate/curate content.
In the UK there is the Wellcome Trust [0] which is a non profit healthcare research body, and I believe other organisations like this exist. They would seem to be the ideal place for this type of work?

Why is the post about the morality of killing for fun getting up-voted? This community, at this instance in time seems to be against it.

A funny story from when I was younger ... there was a candidate running for County Commissioner who lived in my neighborhood and had a local auto-parts store. County Commissioners are paper pusher yet for some reason, as if his position mattered, someone asked whether he was for or against the death penalty. His answer was "regular or extra crispy". This was when the electric chair was still in use ... and there was one about 10 miles from where I'm sitting. I already knew he was a little "out-there" but this statement alone kept him from being elected. While we'd had three horrible commissioners, this statement made him seem "more horrible".

It's interesting in thinking about it that I've found this story more and more disturbing as I've gotten older. Being an introvert and being raised as a stoic german (by descent at least) meant that I've had to grow my ability to empathize through experience. My son was opposed to the death penalty before I was. I might even still have caveats.
Cultural question from a non-native speaker: is it customary to tell stories in the past tense when mentioning a movie or book?

Don't DC motors have a lot of commutator noise?
The article draws heavily from his essays and both the questions and answers assume a good familiarity with them.

In at least one of his essays he argues that founding a company creates wealth and wealth creation does two things.

1) Makes society as a whole better off. i.e. "A rising tide lifts all boats", so the poorest in society benefit as well as the richest. The mean value of all individual's wealth increases.

2) Increases inequality because the distance between richest and poorest increases. The variance in individual's wealth across the population increases.

Of course, these are just arguments he puts forth. Others may disagree with them. ...but I think it's worth trying to understand the distinction he makes between "inequality", "wealth creation" and "improving society as a whole".

> Rather than force devs to use formal methods

I don't think professional liability would require all developers to use formal methods any more than it would require all practicing software developers to become licensed engineers.

It may require companies to hire a licensed engineer to sign off on projects and it could require those engineers to be insured so they may want to use formal methods on a risky project to keep their rates down.

The end result, I think, is the same: pressure to do better by the standards of the state of the art and not skimp on privacy and security.
In addition to wasting energy, light pollution at night is killing off insects, which (along with other factors, like neonicotinoids and habitat loss) is leading to ecosystem collapse.

For instance, North America’s bird population has dropped by 25% since 1970. Insects fared significantly worse over that period, but exact numbers are harder to come by.
I think most people who have read the PF subreddits came to the same conclusion that you can't live life eating lentils and driving a 93 camry forever.
