Yes, ideally each student would have their own teacher/tutor and learn by trial and error. In fact, that's what the very wealthy do.
So that worked well for 'slatestarcodex' didn't it? It is not enough.

The first step is to delete your Twitter account.

Downvoters: So the New York Times did NOT TRY to de-anonymize SSC? Are you sure? [0]

That is the extent of this issue and it is gone beyond universities and it is now dangerously in the workplace and used against those who want to remain anonymous.

Flaggers: Why is this now flagged? Is it because it is true? [0] Oh dear. So privacy is dead then and it is now a 'crime' for people like SSC (somewhat accepted opinion of HN) to remain anonymous? OK.

Let the cancellations continue then and we'll see what happens if we like it or not.

Mike Saylor Doubles Down on Bitcoin
one observation: your examples all focus on the effectiveness at targeting the subject. I'm not sure the conclusions hold for the underlying cause the activism was fighting or supporting.
A lot of it is that journalists will amplify it as well if they are one of the 100 who sees it. Seen journalist job postings where checking Twitter for stories is part of it.
I'm upgrading computers in my University with 8GB of ram and ssd and poof, 2011 computers run W10 just fine once again.
Originally, the Internet (including, but not limited to, the World Wide Web) was a place where nobody was interested in who you were as a person. It was and is geared towards structuring and disseminating knowledge.

In that sense, the entire somesphere is a tumor to the Internet.
The two fronts of people shouting "Working at home" vs "I want the office" can be almost always summed up by how long the commute is:

* Working at home: commute longer than 30-45 minutes.

* Working at office: commute shorter than 30-45 minutes.

Like everything in life, people optimize for different things in life. Optimizing for a short commute is a choice that people can make if they want, likewise optimizing for a bigger home 60 minutes away.

I still have to hear somebody who lives at a short walk to the office, wanting to work from home, because it really wouldn't make any sense at all. Remove the commute from the equation, and the office is superior in any possible way: socially, economically, mentally. Now if they were to move 60 minutes away, I would understand why they would want to work from home.

It's all a function of commute, which in and by itself is a choice in our highly paid industry.
OK - show me someone who's done a thruhike with just a Lifestraw.

Sorry, but not bringing a bottle or a flask because of weight is known as Stupid Light. Yeah, you could probably do it, but it's stupid to do. Another example is using a keychain light as your only light. You could do it, but it's stupid to do, and if you end up in an emergency situation, you're going to get little sympathy for the team of rescuers that save your stupid light butt. These ideas are what happens when you are sitting and looking at a spreadsheet of gear weights in a far larger proportion then actually being out and seeing what actually works.
Yeah, Win10 is very drive performance dependent. You can run it fine on a Pentium 4, but you need an SSD.

Admittedly I did spend like a combined hour troubleshooting git over the last two months.

But git saved me an immeasurable amount of hours in return. I was asked what I worked on some specific week back in may -- git saved me. I had to look up what performance my program had before a specific change -- git saved me. I had to try stuff out without messing up my codebase -- git saved me.

True, I invested quite a few hours and I still do, but I think the investment pays itself off. I'll never ever do a project without git.
The problem is not knowing git internal can very easily backfire by deleting data, rewriting history, etc
> I had apologized privately for everything, but I hoped it might show my sincerity and commitment to being better to address it publicly. So I wrote up a statement

I'm not a huge crypo fanboy, but I think there are a ton of "killer apps" that are kinda being sorted out. Basically think of something that has a middleman in a financial transaction and remove it.

Distributed Betting Markets (Transaction locked up depending on outcome of a sports game)
Distributed Derivatives (financial instruments locked up based on price/date)
Distributed Insurance (If I'm a farmer, I could put money up based on rainfall, price of wheat, or other metrics).

These aren't simpler, but they can be cheaper. Think insurance at a true market rate based on your specific details. No paying for advertising, or other cohorts with different risk profiles bundled.

Not saying that there aren't problems to be solved, or that it's worth it's current value, but there are some pretty cool stuff that you can do with it if they tech gets good enough. It's like an electric car, pretty terrible in a lot of situations previously, but if someone is able to come up with a good enough battery, the game changes.
The point is, why does OP need to spend money on an SSD (and create e-waste in the process) when an HDD used to be reasonably fast for the same task?
This reminds me of my childhood when my mother would sprout green among dal, try to force feed me while trying to tell me the health benefits.

No, the point is that the process of generating meat requires the animal eat plants. So even if plants suffer, eating animals is still worse, since the animal suffers along with 7-10x the number of plants.
Insane that developers interview for their jobs daily, usually first thing in the morning, but management can be as inept as it wishes
> humans collaborating together, in person, to work on a common goal, has been a thing since humans existed.

It was a very, very rare thing for most people for all of human history until the Industrial Revolution. Yeah, a lot of people helped build StoneHenge and the Pyramids, but most people were just farming (at home) or else hunting/gathering in family units.
He absolutely disputes the allegations of, rape which are at the crux of the his larger cancellation.

> So I wrote up a statement saying I had slept with women at events and sometimes I was a dick. The statement was heavily (and perhaps hastily) worded in an effort to convey my understanding of the gravity of hurting people and my desire to set a good example. The internet, though, misinterpreted some of what I had said and began accusing me of rape. No one has ever accused me of raping them. But twitter latched onto that narrative and couldn’t let it go.
Unicorn Market Cap
If it accomplished its goal, then it was effective. Are there other goals to accomplish? Sure, but to say this wasn’t effective is incorrect.
I think there are complexities with firing some people... If a manager just walks round firing people with little evidence, all other employees will live in fear of being fired. That isn't good for morale, productivity or creativity.

Instead, the problems of the to-be-fired employee needs to be abundantly clear to everyone nearby, so that when that person is fired, it doesn't have deep social impacts.

Combine that with desiring to fire someone when a replacement is trained up (often many months), and at the end of a big project (sometimes a year), and not just as management is reshuffling... And suddenly a firing takes 1.5 years.
> The missing part is just the central administrator.

No, the missing part is the actual fraud.

Bernie Madoff for example literally lied about assets under management. Dogecoin is just a digitally scarce ledger, with all there is to know about it publicly and clearly available.

It's not fraudulent, just silly--it was built as a joke after all.

It's almost impossible to really lose anything once it's committed to git. Just look at the efforts it takes to really remove accidentally committed secrets.

The hard part is understanding how to get a reference to the thing you want to get back, how to restore it to its proper place in the history, or at least to a reasonable place, and how, if it's been pushed to a shared repo, for other developers to get their local clone properly sync'd up without their local work getting shoved off into some hard-to-reach reference.
This is the real interesting problem. Even simple subtle decisions like "should this list be kept sorted, or have new things added to the end" determine under what conditions you will hit a new conflict and when you won't. List of enums, add to the end, and if 2 branches grab the next enum value then you'll see a conflict. List of lets say URL prefixes keep in order, then most randomly added URL prefixes will not collide or conflict, only conflicting if you get 2 things trying to operate on the same prefix.
I could be completely wrong, but my guess at the cause would be the registry. Every functionality and feature in Windows has a flag somewhere in the registry. Every query is probably a disk read, and it's a blocking operation of course. Sure, there's probably a cache, but that cache is only so large.

There's a program that I can't recall the name of that can trace registry queries in the program it's attached to. You can attach to basically any process in Windows and see a monstrous number of registry queries.
Ok, but now you're moving the goalpost. Does "new investors paying old investors" make something a Ponzi scheme or not? The legal definition is much more specific.
Been there and back. Quit a high-paying but crappy job together with my cofounder to do our own thing. In hindsight we were so naive and unprepared. After 8 months I was lucky to find a part-time staff-aug contract, so I'm doing that now while continuing on one of the products that got some traction. This was even with plenty of money still in the bank, as I felt we weren't really going anywhere at that point... Some thoughts:

- A high paying job with good environment which you don't dislike is very, very valuable. Lots of folks will say you can get another job again if needed, but you're starting from scratch again in terms of clout, and it's hard to judge company culture from interviews so you might get a worse environment

- The opportunity cost is very real, both in terms of what you’re leaving on the table and what the profitability bar of your business will be. It would’ve been easier if my full-time job only paid $50k.

- If you wanna take a shot at it, REALLY commit to it instead of half-assing it. That way when it's all said and done you can sleep well knowing you gave it a good run. (That said, still advise trying to find product-market fit and figuring out the X's and O's part of running a business while you're still employed)

- What course and decision is best for you will be VERY personal. This is one of my biggest takeaways from my time. It’s as much a journey of figuring out your limitations and yourself as a person as it is about the business side and product.

- My "it" moment was when I got a pang of extreme jealousy when a friend told me he got a first major customer for his side product.

- IMO next to having a partner and child, creating and running your own business is one of the most special life experiences you can have. It’s what I think about most of the time when I’m not working, and getting new customers / validation feels so much better than anything I can experience at work. I also truly enjoy the creative side of it, where the world's your oyster and you’re free to do literally anything you can fathom to grow the business.

- Know what your end goal is. Personally I’d enjoy the day-to-day of running a lifestyle business I could live off of because I’ve gotten to the point where I’m ambivalent about regular software dev work. But that’s just me.
I think the Startup Processes really gets abused and people default to blame Windows for it. My time to a usable desktop seemed slow until I removed Teams, Steam, Dropbox and some other update utilities from Startup. Now it's pretty much instant.
The other way around is definitely easier. RNA-seq analysis is a mostly solved problem with DESeq2 (or edgeR/limma). The tutorials are very detailed. The most difficult part is experimental design, which you probably know already.

Deep learning, on the other hand, is so fraught with pitfalls and traps. Even if you can code up a model successfully, it's very easy to trick yourself that you're doing very well (see a previous discussion at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27376839). In my opinion, most of the work should be spent on making sure that you're not tricking yourself.
They aren't Ponzi schemes either, nor are they a type of fraud. Their continued rise in value may rely on "Bigger Fool Theory", but that is true for many other investments that aren't Ponzi schemes either.

A Ponzi scheme doesn't require "bigger fools" or really any sort of fool. Many Ponzi schemes start out as honest investment offerings and only turn into fraud when the fund manager starts hiding their losses.

That's not compatible with people whose livelihood directly or indirectly relies on having a large and/or dedicated audience on Twitter or other social networks, or people who by the nature of their livelihood are public figures even if they're not active on social media.

Is this just rebranding of the home economics class everyone took 20+ years ago in junior/senior high? They could replace "how to balance your cheque book" with reviewing online statements and keep the rest of the curriculum the same IIRC...
The hard part of escrow is where it meets the real world. The ability to determine when an event has taken place in the real world, without being tricked, is hard for automated blockchain agents. ("Smart contract" is a misnomer because they are pretty dumb and generally are not legally binding contracts.)
I never thought of it that way. I might start collecting these shitcoins for their artistic merit.
Yep, it is. I was trying to take full ownership of what I was like and overplayed what I had done in an effort to not seem like I was downplaying it. It's dumb in hindsight but there it is.
If you'd like to eliminate gas formation caused by legumes, you need only change the water (preferably twice) during the cooking process. Undigestible sugars (AKA soluble fiber) are the primary culprit for this property of most legumes. Conveniently, they dissolve when heated in water. However, legumes begin very hard and it takes a lot of boiling to release all of those gas-forming sugars. If you have a legume that takes two hours to soften by boiling, try changing the water once after an hour, and again after they're fully boiled. (And rinse thoroughly.) Then you can use them in any dish and generally suffer little to no gas after consuming. Enjoy!
People take enough cheap shots at adtech folks, when they offer their perspective.

I assume the patent troll approach would be that they're returning value to their investors, while following the law as it stands.
MAME had one of those style licenses. They switched to GPL/BSD because of your second point. It did not really matter as the companies making these knock off devices/packs had zero intention of following the law anyway, and the people making the emu did not have the money to go after the offenders. It was also a pain if they really wanted to have someone make one of those devices with your code. For example if one of the orig rightsholders to the roms wanted to use MAME they basically couldn't because of that license. For a large company it does matter for import/export and risk management.

People releasing code GPL/MIT/MIT and then getting mad when someone they do not like using it is always going to happen. Not everyone agrees on everything. In the emu case it was more they just did not want to get sued.

What I think is more interesting is there are still devices being created that are using the older code before the switchover that has the restriction and the emulation is worse!

Also Before that Sony v. Connectix it was not very clear, with takedown notices every few months to the sites. Now you pretty much only see the notices on the rom sites. By the point the case was done the license was already mostly in place. Even switching over to the new one was a large undertaking that they put off for a long time. I think a small handful of drivers they could not find the orig authors to ask and they pulled them out and re-wrote them.

tether, including the pre-mining debacle
> With the fed itself acknowledging it's losing the battle to inflation--4.2% over the last year--then I'd say by your definition, that, alone, renders _dollars_ unsuited as money.

It makes absolutely no sense to claim that a historical high inflation rate of 4.2% renders the dollar unsuited as money, when your everyday cryptocurrency, the so-called magic alternative to all money problems, sees far higher fluctations on a daily basis.

Take dogecoin for example. Today alone dogecoin's price tanked 23%. That's a drop in a 24h period.

This is the sort of argument that eats away the credibility of any argument made regarding cryptocurrencies as an alternative to money. It's pretty clear that we have a small army of early joiners eagerly awaiting to cash out and to ensure they keep the pumping part of the pump-and-dump scheme they make this sort of absurd claims that doesn't pass the faintest of scrutinies.
Great job! This seems to offering most of the e-signing functionality that the big companies are offering without charging a dime.
`--force-with-lease` would fix this problem (it needs an alias). Also, `--force` wouldn't cause a merge commit; it would overwrite the remote changes.

The only theory that makes sense is that this person doesn't know how to `pull --rebase`, but the order of `push` vs `pull` wouldn't change the presence of merge commits, so I'm still confused.
The fact the parent post has already been modded down is what pisses me off about the crypto currency world - people feel they are entitled to trash altcoins all they want, but say anything bad about bitcoin, and you'll meet the bitcoin bury brigade ("oh no, can't have anyone saying anything perceived as even remotely negative about bitcoin, no no no!") (Betcha if parent hadn't mentioned bitcoin the post wouldn't have been downvoted).

Frankly, the toxicity I've seen, especically from the bitcoin bros, would make the early days of the 'Mac vs. PC' blush (not to mention the WS movement going on now).

But the thing I especially hate is how modding has become weaponized to silence anyone seen as a foe/critic (aspiring authoritarian, much?):

I can't help but think that Bourdain found an industry full of unpleasant people because that's what he brought to it.

Working in a kitchen is hard, hot, and loud. You work very fast on a lot of things at once. The margins are tight, the customers often difficult, and your coworkers unreliable. The hours are very long and the pay is lousy. Most restaurants don't survive long.

But it doesn't have to be abusive. Chefs don't have to yell. You don't need hazing rituals. People jump jobs because owners don't give them any reason to want to stay.

What Bourdain reported definitely happened. A lot. But I suspect it happened more where Bourdain was than in other places. Open-kitchen restaurant designs have become more popular and you can watch the cooks operating under circumstances more like you'd expect: quickly but carefully, and without abuse.

Bourdain liked the adrenaline, and made sure there was lots of it around him. That makes the difficult job of cooking worse. I'm glad I don't work in a kitchen any more. And I'm really, really, really glad I never worked in one of his.
Except Elon musk changed the equation. He legitimized it even though it’s knowingly a joke.
Crypto will never be competitive with official government currencies, it has almost no advantages except rare situations.

Official currencies are stable and extremely low-risk. This is only possible thanks to the monetary policies of central banks. Bitcoin can never have this level of stability or safety, because there's no central authority which manipulates the price.
As the person who suggested pronouncing it 'salsa' I can tell you it's just because I thought it was fun.

That's the mob mentality speaking. Just because a bunch of assholes on the internet took something they said out of context, and refused to acknowledge that people other than themselves are not objects and are capable of changing over time, that doesn't mean the person they targeted needs to "learn" anything except that people on the internet are assholes.
Great question. I'm wondering the same thing. I also built a PC in 2017 and installed Windows 10 on it. It initially had a 7s boot time following bios startup. Several updates later, the boot time is now close to a minute and app startup times are noticeably slower as well. I've always been very careful about what software I install on it. I've done all of the standard troubleshooting, but so far it hasn't gotten bad enough to warrant a fresh install.

Journalists participate in Twitter at a rate probably 10-100x the overall population.
Most people don't ever log into Twitter, most journalists do daily.

I think you can look at it this way:

* For normal people, Twitter is not real life.

* For journalists, Twitter is real life.

Journalists then become the vector by which BS Twitter drama becomes mainstreamed.
Within the field of history, the graph at the beginning of this post from the AHA shows that the 1970s was an absolutely terrible decade: https://www.historians.org/publications-and-directories/pers...

What happened was a big drop in the number of new PhDs. That is why the 1980s and early 1990s might have had okay job markets. By about 1991/1992 the job market was once again saturated.
