Start with these simple lessons that many don't get:

1. Programming is essentially about you (!) problem solving.

2. Programming requires initiative and independence.

3. Programming requires self motivation and self learning.

1. is really the only lesson needed here. 2. and 3. are important implications. I'm not saying, programming classes don't help, but if you call yourself a programmer and you need to learn a new API you must have the initiative to try to figure it out for yourself. It's OK to ask questions. It's OK to expect to be briefed or even taught some complicated concepts. It's NOT OK to expect to go back to school to learn every single new thing you come across.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Programming is a vast field. What do you want to learn programming for? Nowadays you will find an introduction to programming for every major sub-field of programming. You'll find programming introductions for game development, front-end programming, back-end programming, statistical computation, mobile apps and everything else in between. Personally I find that this is the quickest and easiest way to introduce yourself. I don't like the approach that some take i.e. first learning a really general programming language and programming concepts and only afterwards learning what they actually need.

So do some research and come up with a list of resources.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It takes time. How much time varies depending on you personally and the field of programming you want to work in.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Landing a programming job may or may not be straightforward. In some cases it's damn right impossible. It depends a lot on you, your location and what standards companies expect out of their developers. I've met good developers who were stranded and bad developers who got into a junior developer position after a year of training at a technical school. Why am I say all this? Prepare yourself and research so that you can find a way to make it. Most if not all job applications you meet will have a requirement for an CS/AI/SE degree. Ignore that but be prepared to show off your skills.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally, you probably want a to-learn list but again, you must first provide a programming field. I'll be glad to help if you reply with a specific programming field.
Long time back I saw someone demonstrate an needle free injection using osmosis (or reverse osmosis) on Discovery channel. It was pretty amazing and this article reminded me of that. Unfortunately I can't really find anything like that on Google right now. Can osmosis be used to inject drugs or is my memory completely incorrect?
That's well known if you ever took evolutionary biology course, or game theory course.

Even popular books like Richard Dawkins' "The Selfish Gene" talk in some detail about it, and this 25 hour video course is also a must see for pretty much everyone:

Another reason may be to avoid a conflict of interest - Tim Cook, as the one ultimately responsible for commencing the payment of dividends, would be paying himself a rather large bonus out of the company cash.
The Soviet NK-33 engines will be used for SpaceX's competitor's, Orbital Sciences' Antares rocket.

If NASA doesn't kill that program.

SpaceX has gotten so much publicity that killing commercial ISS supply is getting harder though.

But they can still downselect. You should fight against this politically.

SpaceX isn't doing very high performance rocketry if you look at their engines. It's a liquid oxygen - kerosene gas generator engine, similar to first big rocket engines everywhere in the fifties.

The NK-33 for example is a much higher pressure staged combustion engine meaning it gets a much better exhaust velocity and you get more payload. So are the RD-170 and RD-180 used on Zenit and Atlas respectively.

In gas generator engines, a small amount of fuel and oxidizer is burnt in the gas generator to drive a turbine which drives the pump for all propellants. After the turbine the gas generator gas is exhausted. In staged combustion, you put the gas generator gas into the chamber so it is not wasted and its volume can be much higher.

There doesn't exist US technology for oxygen rich kerosene staged combustion engines, so that's why either you use gas generators like SpaceX, or use Russian engines like Lockheed Martin (Nowadays United Launch Alliance) or Orbital Sciences. Boeing (Now ULA too) used an odd hydrogen gas generator for the Delta IV first stage engine.

The Space shuttle main engine (SSME) was a hydrogen staged combustion engine, a technological marvel with extreme performance but also complex and very expensive. It is a wonder of the world that they got it to work reliably.

EDIT: Which makes me think - Some Russian companies like NPO Energomash http://www.npoenergomash.ru/eng/ can perhaps be considered the Foxconns of rocketry. You can also buy propellant tanks and structures from Russian and Ukrainian companies.

I really don't see how that would be a problem; it's not like anyone would doubt that Tim Cook is not worth that money for Apple or that Apple couldn't afford that money. I don't think anyone on the board of Apple would have a problem with Cook getting his share of the dividend.

I agree , you have to learn from the failure for that philosphy to work
Yes, they would appear to contradict each other.

What's happening here, I believe, is that neither of the players are actually playing a memory-one game. They extract a result for memory-one games and try to apply it to reason about a memory-N game, which I believe might be an error.

The "evolutionary" strategy used by Y is in fact a way for Y to base their decision on the outcome of many previous games. X is similarly using a long-term strategy. In the end, the players end up in a meta-game that is similar to the original one.

Note how this meta-game only works if both players agree to it -- if X is "out to lunch", as they put it, or if Y was simply playing a memory-one strategy without evolutionary adaption, the meta-game does not exist.

The title holds - they show how to use a local optimum to exploit a hill-climbing evolutionary player. However this can not be used to beat a true memory-one player, and I think the assumption that Y would require a "theory of mind" to counter this strategy is unfounded.
The most interesting part is described near the end: they are able to inject powder. The device vibrates the powder to the point it behaves as liquid and thus can be injected easily. Cool :D

Somebody correct me please; I imagine they care about powder because drugs (or vaccines?) in powdered form could sustain longer storage than liquid form.

It is very good to finally see the newspace ethos being distributed in the media. The loose newspace community has been saying these things for decades.

To summarize, it goes something like that:

The aim is spacefaring.

1. We need reusable rockets
2. We should lower cost for space
3. Reliability follows automatically from above

4. We must iterate reasonable size projects to progress
5. We must tolerate failures
6. We must build many parallel and consecutive prototypes
7. Competition is good

Until now it's either been hobbyists or then NASA building something with billions of dollars and taking decades.

It is unlikely that a reliable, cheap and well working operational reusable rocket system will be built right on the first try, even with billions spent. Rather, you have to try different things at a reasonable scale, and then go back to design things differently. You can't know or analyze everything beforehand, what works and what doesn't. You must also be able to take risks in design. That has the potential of radical cost reductions.

All this is possible if you keep the projects small enough so that the failures don't destroy everything.
With small enough steps, you enable progress.

I don't know if I write understandably. This is a perfectly sound concept but I find it very hard to make people understand that spacefaring progress is not reached by giving NASA more money and building the next big moon rocket. In fact, that would stagnate it.

I don't know why this needs to be controversial. To keep it simple:
Logic/algorithmic thinking skills -> good for most people, should be acquired at school, programming is one quite good way to acquire them (IFF done right)
Actual coding skills -> pretty much only useful if you plan to work in software; depending on your role, essential (sw dev, but that takes more than codecademy...); desirable (product/marketing: you will better understand the tech team, how to prioritise, what's possible etc.); "nice to have" (everyone else).

So, I guess these coding schools are good, either if you want to learn a new way of thinking (and have lots of spare time and patience), or if you are a non-tech product person (as long as you realise that you're only scratching the surface, and that if you're short on time, maybe you should focus on getting things done).

You should probably look into Apollo 11 and Saturn V and learn more about the rockets that put man on the moon.

And they have unfathomable advantages in technology, software, material science, and existing body of knowledge.

It's probably actually higher, since Apple has so much cash lying around. They have no reasonable prospect of spending it and they're getting to the point where no acquisitions that make sense would dent the horde. (I mean, they could buy a carrier, but why buy the cow if you already get all of the profits of milking it for free.)

This suggests that, like MSFT before them, they'll eventually raise dividends.

Bitcoin properties are almost the same as precious metals, making it much more money-like than a fiat currency.

Actually, Bitcoin lacks one of the most key attributes of precious metals: precious metals have inherent value. Even if gold isn't useful as a medium of exchange, gold is still useful and has value because it has practical applications due to its high conductivity and corrosion resistance. Although gold's value is highly inflated due to speculation, gold still has a "minimum value" due to its utility in the area of electronics. If everyone one day decided "gold investment is stupid" and began dumping it, there would still be demand for gold due to the electronics market. Ditto for silver and platinum. These metals have value because you can do things with them. There will always be demand for these things, just as there will always be demand for iron, copper, and other non-precious metals.

Bitcoin is like currency in that it only has value because a group of people have collectively decided that it has value. Bitcoin's value is based on rarity, and the only thing that makes it different from traditional currency is that its rarity is guaranteed algorithmically, rather than by a centralized government.

Option A: Purchase a domain name, get a hosting plan, build a website.

Option B: Fire up a command shell, write some scripts.

Option C: Download a tool set, start making a program.

Option D: Get a book, download a tool set, start working through exercises.

Option E: Start with an online course - requires Option D.

In any event, you cannot become a programmer until you start to program.

Amazing. I guess this will become the latest trend to take the focus off obscene payouts to CEOs. If turning down $75 million is good, why not turn down $300 million? Why not make it a billion? Reminds me of people who actually think the government is giving them money when they get their tax refunds..

So if I have the scheme correct, a CEO is paid $100 million but turns down $50 million, which becomes the story, and the CEO becomes the good guy, not the greedy guy. Rather than confiscating $100 million from the shareholders he is generously giving back $50 million. Seriously, how dumb do they think we are?
