A lot of people need to see a more human side of Mike.

But I have been listening to his podcast so this is nothing new to me.

However, I have to say that my impression of Mike is not just a humble and intelligent dude. I also see a staunch neo-liberal who is a product of the United States capitalism.

He knows how he was able to get out of Brownsville and he wouldn't want to change the system that brought him his American dream.

At the same time he's compassionate and pragmatic so I'm sure he would be behind free health care and free education but he does truly enjoy having less government, less taxes and more profit for himself.

These are all views that are incompatible with mine, but then again I am not from the US so I have no idea about how he got that mentality on his journey.

I can speculate that growing up in Brownsville instilled a sense of independence and an emphasis on doing for self what no one else will do for you.
Who in a business will listen to a podcast? I have always thought about them as entertainment or an educational medium.

This is not physics—electrons do not lie, self-select or suffer. Closing your ears and shouting “domestic abuse is not an issue, because surely we can just ask a bias-neutral perfectly random slice of the population whether they are experiencing or dealing it, and surely everyone can and is willing to answer truthfully” is what helps perpetuate the issue. This is expecting conclusive data where it is impossible to collect (absent total surveillance of households). What is available is anecdotal observations, and enough anecdotal observations can compel one to form a hypothesis.
(Sorry, I missed this over the weekend) - I think the issue in this case is you're selling this as a guaranteed 3ms, going down from 4-7ms. If you have to pause for this 50ms GC once every X trades, then you force the GC to happen _after_ the X-1th trade has completed, but you need to provision an extra 15(?) machines to cover the pause. Otherwise, you're not delivering 3ms trades, you're delivering (3 + GCTime/X) ms. It doesn't matter if GC takes 1ms or 1s, you "simply" need to have the capacity to cover the extra GC time.
5m seems far enough to do some RF magic from long distance (with the budget, obviously)
Looking back 20 years, occasionally I have the same view: “if only I had stuck to X, I’d be a millionaire now”. But the truth is that I just wasn’t built for X, I would have been just another one of those 90% of businesses that fail, and cutting my losses by getting a regular “salaryman” job gave me the peace of mind to focus on what I actually like - which often happens to be coding for the pleasure of it.

I don't care if you use Windows on a daily basis - you're just flat out wrong.

Windows isn't easily configurable? By what metric? There's a dozen ways to enter the same settings and most of the time you can just search for what it is about the operating system you want to change - in the operating system itself, with the OS's own search bar.

And "nothing works"? What the fuck are you even doing on Windows 10, where you and apparently only you, manage to break all functionality after the initial install?

I can't even remember the last time I've had a problem with Windows 10... a blue screen, hell, even an application crash.
>, to tilt towards 100% work in the work-life-balance. [...] And rarely do they have to sacrifice everything

The 4-letter word "work" encompasses very different activities:

(1) The so-called "work" that's genuinely interesting to the entrepreneur and he/she would rather not spend time on anything else

-- or --

(2) the work that people just barely tolerate as a job from 9 to 5

This means many observers using mental model (2) are confused why some founders have no "work/life" balance. In a previous comment, I try to explain what mental model (1) of passionate work feels like.[0]

If a person's MITTD (Most Interesting Thing To Do) happens to be a research scientist working 80 hours a week in a lab trying to discover a new molecule, or a musician practicing guitar "until his fingers bleed", or an Olympic athlete spending most of her time for years to prepare for competition, it's more likely that society romanticizes that "unbalanced life" with more positive labels such as "intense dedication".

But if that MITTD for a human happens to be working 80+ hours a week on an internet startup, we label it with negative labels such as "work" and that the entrepreneur is illogical for not having a good work-life balance.

If Warren Buffet is already worth $80 billion and owns a private jet that can take him to any exotic location in the world, why does he bother going into a boring Omaha Nebraska office every day to look at financial statements?!? Because looking at business numbers is the most interesting activity to him. Other entrepreneurs understand why WB doesn't just take it easy and lay in a hammock in the Caribbean or go whale watching in Alaska. WB is not "sacrificing" a tropical island vacation and he's not suffering at work to look at financial statements. That's what he prefers to do with his time. But to the accountant that wants to gouge his eyes out after balancing debits and credits for the 1000th time, WB's passion makes no sense at all.

I believe the opposite is true. Most chess teachers will agree that tactics are much more important than positional advantage for lower level players.

For example here's Jeremy Silman talking about it:

https://web.archive.org/web/20120205054644/http://www.jeremy...

After learning simple piece development and basic checkmating techniques, it's tactics, tactics, tactics. The positional concepts you espouse like rooks on open files are only useful to lower level players in service of opening up opportunities for tactics. Rather than learning pawn structure directly, he recommends actively sacrificing pawns to open up tactical opportunities. He doesn't recommend ignoring positional concepts of course, but he expects his students to learn them slowly, almost by accident, during focused practice on tactics.

Modern chess engines (pre-NN) even work the same way. Traditional chess engines with limited memory and limited depth search had rich, complex evaluation functions to try to compare the positional strength of a position. Modern chess engines have evolved towards simpler, faster evaluations, instead relying on vastly deeper tactical searches with gigabyte-size transposition tables. It's all in service of tactics.
It's also just basic hypothesis testing - formulating and then proving/disproving a null hypothesis. But most of the people I talk to can't remember what that means, if they ever knew. Hence assumptions and attacking as the language - they can work that out.

Also, Farsighted is a great book. If you liked it, you'd also get a kick out of Creating Great Choices, The Choice Factory, Alchemy: The Surprising Power of Ideas That Don't Make Sense, and How to Measure Anything: Finding the Value of Intangibles in Business.
>> If you're a whiz at strategy but not much good at tactics, you will have trouble winning or having fun because your pieces will keep getting taken.

>I beg to differ. You should first learn how to supercharge your pieces by controlling the centre, putting rooks on open files, co-ordinating your bishop pair, keeping a strong pawn structure, etc. [...]

I would disagree. At a rating level below 1300 (where all beginners start) I'm pretty sure that openings don't matter at all and strategy is not very important. Magnus Carlsen, the World Champion, has even suggested that by being only good at tactics you can get to a 2000 ELO rating. If your opponent can look two moves further ahead you will almost always loose. This is also the reason why small children are able to beat seasoned chess amateurs playing at a club level. The children definitely have a limited understanding of the strategy and they don't know a lot of opening theory. But they will outplay you in the middle game.

As I said above, academic research is as susceptible to influence-by-money as anything else. As the parent commenter pointed out, there is a lot more of this being published, and there is a monetary benefit for certain firms to have new types of drugs to introduce and sell. And as I also pointed out, large corporations have funded publications, news coverage, and research that help change the public perception and discussion around things previously less-accepted.

With all the above (more uncharitably, since actors have the means, motive, and opportunity), we should certainly be skeptical when we notice this happening and not hand-wave it away.

It did for me. Hadn't played chess for decades. After watching this show, my gf wanted to learn and it renewed my interest in the game. Not sure I want to go down this rabbit hole though...

> It's a shame that the advent of the internet has simultaneously increased your chances of finding someone to play with remotely

It works very well. I played a few games on lichess (recommended in the comments of another HN thread). I could find opponents who played at my level in a matter of a seconds.

There are also tons of youtubers who do a good job explaining strategies and such. It seems Chess never goes out of fashion, still a cool game!

It's amazing the amount of resource you can find nowadays. Back in the day, it was extremely limited. I remember I had a couple of books from my grandfather, plus a few friends I was playing with, and "chess master" on Amiga and that was it.
As mentioned elsewhere, the right notation[0] allowed us to discover new juggling patterns that had never been done[1][3]. I freely admit that current mathematical notation has problems, but most of the proposed reforms seem to lose the predictive and creative power, becoming mere notation and nothing more. The problem is that without experiencing that extra dimension it's impossible to see that, and you can't experience that extra dimension without investing the time and effort to learn mathematics to a significant level.

Tricky.

[1] As far as we know. Without the notation we don't actually know what had been done, but when I took the new patterns to juggling conventions, no one knew them[2].

[2] Actually it's stronger than that. I showed people some of the new patterns at the British Juggling Convention in 1985 and no one knew them. Then at the European Juggling Convention just 4 months later, people from the USA were proclaiming them as the latest patterns that they had just learned, and were perplexed at how I not only knew them, but knew many, many more.

[3] And actually Paul Klimek had beaten us to it, but hadn't been able to get others interested in the notation. As far as we can tell, Paul was the first to get the notation.
> whole package margin

> If the services aren’t generating that margin, the hardware is making it up.

I really don't like that way of looking at profits.

Going by that standard, if you sell a thousand dollar device with $260 in margin and no software, everything is great.

But then if you add on $600 in software to increase your margin to $330, that's bad somehow?
I fall firmly into the category being described. From my experience, the internet is an abysmal place to discuss these ideas regardless of which side you're on. The left and right both love to misapply statistics and misrepresent their counterparts whenever it's convenient to do so.

Modern social platforms simply do not allow you the room to express the nuance required for the topics at hand. You need far more than 280 characters and a few memes to articulate a point where you have to literally reference text, history, and tradition because so few people are versed in it.

The most incendiary example is the 2nd Amendment. Discussing it without your counterpart understanding the history and philosophies that spawned it (British longbow tradition, assize of arms laws from 1100s on, centralized Prussian style military vs militias, etc) makes for a nauseating experience.

It's all well and good controlling the centre, putting rooks on open files, co-ordinating your bishop pair, keeping a strong pawn structure, etc., but if you leave your pieces vulnerable to tactics that your opponent can find and you can't, then it's all for nought.

That's why tactics can be considered more important than strategy.

Strategy becomes more important only when neither player is making tactical blunders.
I don't think the chance of cheating is a serious issue if you're playing at a low level online. You're generally matched against playes with a similar rating, and someone using a computer heavily would drastically inflate their rating. Which also increases the chance at detection significantly.

Computers are scary good at chess, it's not exactly invisible if you use them to cheat. If you're a beginner it's also quite hard to understand why the computer makes certain moves, so if you just sprinkle in some computer moves in your game it's likely you might just fail to capitalize on those moves because you don't understand their purpose. The computer also plays some quite non-human moves at times, which is also likely to draw attention if someone is cheating a lot.

I'm not saying people don't cheat online in chess, but I don't think it's anywhere near prevalent enough to ruin the game.
Hah, I really like that I was right, having written this (https://medium.com/@turbinenreiter/on-google-apple-and-the-c...) a while ago, making a similar point, although written way worse :D

I think that we (non-FANG, open-source, university) have to make sure we don't lose the ability to innovate, due to not being able to buy the hardware we need. I.e. if we can't buy an M1 class processor, we can't invent new products that would be enabled by it.

There's a happy medium between function names being 2 letters and function names being a full damn sentence.

I personally prefer common things to have short names, less common to have long names. That's how natural languages work, and i think it makes a lot of sense. If everything has a long name, it ends up being hard to pick out the important bits. If everything has a short name, it also becomes a bit impeneterable.

messages you deem important to encrypt. Sometimes it is every message; It contains the entire spectrum.
An official source must be challenged by another official source with more extensive data and newer results. Random people on facebook cannot challenge because they are random people. In choosing between an official source and random guy on facebook, the statements are not equal and the official source takes precedence because they have accountability while random people do not.

It is a bit more complex due to stuff like whistle-blowing and so on, but in general credibility is something that must be earned, not given to every random person who states something.

Your argument against an open platform is "more open hardware is slower", as if that matters somehow. 99% of what you use in a day doesn't depend on a fast platform, and the remaining 1% is stuff that you should migrate away from or modern videogames (which arguably you should also move away from).
