You may think I'm being condescending but I'm not. This is not my judgment of you or anyone else; these are the cold, hard facts of life.

If you don't keep your body in shape, it WILL fall apart on you. An investment in your body is an investment in your future. You can either be the 70 year old who runs marathons, or the 70 year old with a walker. The choice is yours.

There are a million reasons why it can't be done, but the funny thing is, when someone wants something bad enough, he tends to find ways to make it work.

I'm sure you can keep heaping more and more things on our fictional family straw man until it's impossible for him to do anything at all. That's fine. There's always one more reason why it can't be done or shouldn't even be attempted. But life is quite indifferent to our reasons, and plods on just the same whether we're in control or not.

It's really no skin off my nose how other people live their lives. I'm just pointing out the creeping dangers that lie ahead.
Five Guys Take Same Photo For 30 Years...
Maybe it's because I was still in high school when the modern smartphone revolution came about, but for some reason, I just abhor the idea of a standalone 電子辞書 and see it as a 20th-century anachronism.

When I began studying 古文 and 漢文, despite being told that I would "need" to purchase a 電子辞書, I persevered and was able to (most likely thanks to my technical knowledge, which most other Japanese students admittedly do not possess) replicate all the functionality of a 電子辞書 on my existing smartphone for nearly free. In fact, I often found it superior in many ways, such as handwriting recognition with 7notes being far superior to the write-on-a-tiny-1-square-inch-pad-with-a-stylus approach that most 電子辞書 continue to take. And let's not forget the huge advantage provided by cellular internet access, particularly when it comes to looking up proper names when reading texts such as 三国志演義 (Romance of the Three Kingdoms).

If something is truly important to a person, they'll study it. For business people, this means studying business contracts before they agree to them. For scientists, this means paying attention to their experiments, keeping their eyes on their instruments, and keeping up with theoretical advances.

2037

Some promising technologies will still be struggling along in 2037. Others have
disappeared or been replaced completely. No matter how miraculous and marvelous
the advances that have happened though, society will have managed to consider
them mundane and probably inevitable. I don't know what quantum computers and
machine learning will have allowed by 2037- (better weather prediction? deep
mathematical truths?), but I suspect that the things people think about the
most, like how to have meaningful relationships and fulfilling work, will have
only been minimally affected. On the other hand, I predict that some people
thinking about those things now will have found, individually, exactly what
they were looking for.

Each generation will be less mature (at least until it reaches the same age as
the last). Each new generation (there will have been a couple by 2037) will,
despite its immaturity, regressiveness, and destructiveness, manage to yield
forth individuals who inspire and transform, who rise above petty concerns and
a world brimming with distraction and reveal something new about the capacity
of mankind.

In short, the fundamental struggle will continue between technology that exalts
our knowledge and capacity, and human nature that debases and waste them.

Existential threats to mankind will still occasionally surface. The threat of
genocide, tyrants who oppress and reign in terror, the Earth groaning under its
abuse as we attempt to listen better, to act better. But, as always there will be
pockets of peace and prosperity where others can sit and take a moment to write
an entry for 2062.

Yeah, but whose to say that the prevalence of those fears didn't have a hand in making them a non-issue?

What else but a fear of war motivates us to avoid it? Would China have instituted its one-child policy without a fear of population explosion, a policy which arguably is one of the most important factors in its rapid rise (as compared to India, for instance)? Perhaps the seeming inevitability of Japan's dominance made them complacent while simultaneously stripping American's of theirs?

Perl's a dynamic language, but return type can vary based on context. I once saw this really bite someone where the presence of parentheses on the left-hand side of the expression changed the behavior of the function being called on the right-hand side. Not fun to debug that one.

Precisely. Pop culture is made to be vacuous, ephemeral, and cyclic. Unfortunately, there are scores of people who eat it up because it's pushed to them. Worse, there are lots of institutions who make a killing off of giving people exactly what they say they want.

This is totally incorrect, eye tracking is not sufficiently advanced to be in any way useful in terms of entering input. There exist 'visual keyboards' for people that are paralyzed which allow them to select a key based on where they are looking. These, while a fantastic tool to help disabled people, are not even close to approaching the speed we achieve using a manual keyboard. There's an example here - your eye has to linger for at least a second for the computer to be confident in your choice.

http://www.denverpost.com/recommended/ci_20768271

And it only takes common sense to realize that we don't look at every key we type, and it makes it faster. The quickest typists don't have to look at the keyboard at all, and this increases efficiency. Both handwriting and eye tracking are much much slower than typing, no matter what. You can be the fastest handwriter on the planet, and still a moderately talented typist will burn the shit out of you. It just takes less time to hit a key than it does to write an entire letter form.

I realize my first comment was kind of mean and sarcastic, but that was because this idea is so completely stupid and not progressive at all that I thought the relatively intelligent community on hacker news would realize this immediately. All my friends and co-workers who saw it were like "this is completely dumb"... immediately.

I understand that people like things that are 'different' and 'progressive', but this particular tool is neither of the above. It's a fun little trick that is totally not practically useful in any way.
In theory you should be fine but it's hard for me to tell. You could use the book and supplement the things you don't know with Wikipedia (I even recommend a few articles in the book). Have you tried the sample?

Yes, this has been invaluable for us in Rust. One cool thing we've been able to do with this architecture is to write a fuzzer -- a tool that uses the Rust compiler itself to generate random Rust programs to test the compiler's correctness.

You didn't even list the big stuff. In the short term we get the benefits you describe. In the long term the way we build cities and thus live our lives changes for the better as they become denser and much more space efficient.
And you should bring him a bottle.

To be exact, we are still not good at predicting WHAT solution to those problems will appear. That's why optimistic entries are largely incorrect (to my standard).

Freelancing in foreign countries and work visas
I'm wondering about the rules regarding work visas for people living in foreign countries and freelancing. I assume that if you freelance for clients in that country, you need a work visa. However, do you need a work visa if you freelance for clients outside the country you're living in?

I'm thinking this also varies from country to country. I don't have a college degree, so I imagine that would make it harder for me to get a work visa if I wanted to live in a foreign country and freelance.

Thanks for any advice.

The way that valuation of a company works is that the multiple of market cap over annual revenue is supposed to reflect (mainly) expectations of growth. This multiple for Google is less than Facebook's by a LOT, because Google, as a relatively mature company working off of a larger revenue base, is expected to grow more slowly percentage-wise, all else held equal (this has been borne out by the vast majority of companies, and is pretty much common sense, as doubling sales is a lot harder to do when one is already doing tens of billions of dollars in sales).
The fact that Facebook is growing more slowly than a company with much lower expectations of growth instead of living up to its expectations of hypergrowth (as implied by the valuation) is a signal that the current growth expectations (as implied by the valuation) are too high (hence the "all else held equal" part of the last paragraph: if a company isn't performing as well as it should, then it's of course possible that it'll grow more slowly than a larger competitor with lower expectations of growth). This of course ignores the possibility that FB comes up with an amazing revenue-boosting innovation like AdWords and begins to fulfill their expected growth rate.
Things like "search advertising has different dynamics to [sic] social advertising" can't just be completely removed from consideration. They're precisely what determine if Facebook is inaccurately valued or if the huge growth expected from it will occur/continue.

While I agree that work samples are definitely the way to go, I'm unsure how you could possibly engineer a work-sample that is time effective for 600 people. Clearly, the first pass of the screen cannot be the work sample alone or you will be administering dozens if not hundreds, since I doubt the threat of a worksample in a job ad would scare many people away (could very well be wrong about that.)

I think this is why HireArt (YC W12), exists. They pre-vet these candidates using a work sample for you, presumably they only administered and graded the work samples of those they found passed the 'resume bar.'

As for false positives, from talking to many employers the fear false positives is generally low because they figure they can "weed them out" during the interview stage. And while there may be statistical evidence showing a high false positive rate, it is surprisingly hard to convince hiring managers of this.

Python's yield was originally a limited co-routine, something we coined as a "generator" (borrowing the word from Icon, which Tim was quite fond of). It was limited to one frame on the stack and could only return values. Recent enhancements have allowed values to be passed back into the suspended function. That's still not a full co-routine though since Python only lets you go one level down on the stack.

As someone else mentioned, you need to get deeper into programming languages, not operating systems. Scheme has call/cc which can be used to build co-routines. Someone needs to clue in the nodejs crazies as well, callbacks are not the way to design a language. ;-)

Reasonable. But don't the participants choose the charities themselves? Other charities such as the Red Cross have been featured, after all, though Child's Play and the EFF do seem the "default" tradition.

So while some sort of music camp is a good suggestion, I don't see a problem with the EFF if the artists approve.
> You've no doubt heard the phrase "don't put all your eggs in one basket"

Buffett and Munger's response to that is to "put all your eggs in the same basket, and watch that basket".

At various times both men have been very heavily concentrated in their best ideas (Buffett was once about 75% into GEICO many decades ago -- admittedly that's extreme even for him, but many value investors aim for less than 10 investments). They say that diversification is often "diworsification" (I think that's a Peter Lynch phrase... or maybe Phil Fischer) because it's impossible to know that many companies well enough to have high confidence, and because your 20th best idea will never be nearly as good as your best and second best ideas, so it's often better to just add more to your best ideas.

Of course, the caveat of this is that you must know what you are doing. Diversification is insurance against not knowing what you're doing, and index funds are probably the best strategy for someone not putting in the time (which is most people). But if you take investing seriously, high diversification is not always necessary or even desirable.
> Replace Japan with China and he's spot on.

Is he? I don't know of many Chinese companies that own stakes in American or European industry - maybe Lenovo counts to some extent, but what others?

It seems that the sources of China's capital and the markets for the resulting industry are almost entirely Western, and primarily American. China's fate is far more determined by American investors and consumers than the reverse.

China's government scrambles to buy dollars to keep the RMB artificially weak against the dollar so this pattern can be sustained for a while longer. But how long can that last?
