Biggest fallacy ever read here. Most car accidents happens when people are traveling large distances or coming back from unusual places such as parties and bars (not home-work commute) and the Tesla and other low range electrical nowadays are mostly commute machines. (yeah they can be used for those things, but 99% of the people that actually buys them do not)

I've always liked the Game of Life implemented with stencil convolution[1]. It's very declarative.

Stencil convolution[2] transforms a matrix (often an image) by taking a small matrix--the stencil--and using it as a set of weights to add all that cell's neighbors. Let's imagine our stencil is the following matrix:

1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9

Then, to process each cell in the big matrix, we start by putting the 5 over that cell. The new value for the cell is going to be 1 times the cell up and to the left plus 2 times the cell directly above plus 3 times the cell up and to the right and so on.

If we represent the Game of Life as a matrix--a two dimensional array of Ints--we can use a stencil to easily compute the neighbor count. We would use this matrix:

1 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 1

Applying this stencil gives us a function that goes from the matrix of alive cells to a matrix of neighbor counts. Then, to do a step in the game of life, we just zip the two matrices together with the transition function.

The neat bit is that the real code looks pretty close to what I have just said! For example, here is how the stencil looks:

neighbors = [stencil2|1 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 1|]

We can use basically the same transition function as in the post:

transition a 2 = a
transition _ 3 = 1
transition _ _ = 0

And the actual step algorithm:

step grid = R.computeUnboxedS . R.zipWith transition grid $
mapStencil2 (BoundConst 0) neighbors grid

(BoundConst 0) just tells the stencil to treat every square outside the large input matrix as 0. R.computeUnboxedS just turns the result of zipWith back into an unboxed array.

Now, the computeUnboxedS function call is not really intuitive. Unless you knew how the API was supposed to work, you would not think of it. This is where Haskell's types come in, acting like active documentation: you can see that you need the computeUnboxedS function because that's the only way to get from the type at the result of zipWith to the type you actually want!

Anyhow, this is not the best way to implement life, admittedly. The biggest shortcoming is that, since you're using an array, the field is always bounded to the same size and you're always representing every cell, even ones that won't be alive for generations. Mostly, this is just a great example to see how stencil convolution works!

When making short term trips to remote offices within a big company, having nearby corporate housing is awesome. This is probably the main reason Facebook is going to have 15 (not 394) units in this nearby complex. But that wouldn't fit the narrative of the article though, so I'm sure it is whatever the author said.

No. Undeleteable advertisement bookmark is just like an undeleteable advertisement bookmark. It's NOT like an unchangeable wallpaper. Bookmark is not always in your eyes - even when you are using the browser! I am surprised that so many iOS fans have trouble understanding it. The unwanted Apple apps, on the other hand, are ALWAYS in your eyes. You understand the difference now?
It does not offend me that you assume I make more money than I'm arguing over, and you are not wrong. I also lived in a $500/mo room in an apartment with two others when I made that much money, so I was saving like a boss. Travel was actually a larger expense than housing.

As far as addressing counterpoints, I've grown tired of quibbling. I think that you can live comfortably spending 66% of your income net of taxes per year without any undue effort if you make $80k a year in SF. I think anyone who looks into it would find the same to be true. That's my last word in this conversation.

Re comments, I could add a feature to expand all if I get enough requests, but after some use I've found this to be optimal.
The numerous minor nitpicks I have with this scheme are a big part of what keeps me coming back to Urbit. The basic idea is so right-on that I can't help focusing on things like this: given that 2 billion people conflate "1" and "r", how on Urth did he settle on using those as primary distinguishments for every. single. brace. pair. O right, left and right.

Similarly, every c in that scheme makes me kringe. Unless those are "chab", "chen", "chol", "chom", "butch" etc. Which, affricates, meh.

This is of course the complement of damning with faint praise.
It would be really interesting to see what penetrated the battery, although it sounds like we probably won't. When determining the safety of a vehicle one of the things that is not looked at AFAIK by the NHTSA is how the vehicle deals with, for example, exhaust system debris coming up into the engine compartment, floor, fuel tank, etc.

At the risk of being overly contrarian: it's possible this debris would have done something much worse if a Honda Civic or something had hit it. There is not enough data to draw a conclusion on that, let alone make a statistical comparison between vehicles.

That is besides the point. We are talking about what happens when your Tesla S does crash. There is on "if" in the certainty that Teslas will be involved in accidents. The questions are "will they catch fire when they crash?" and also "how bad will that fire be for persons and property involved?"

>There's also a cost of liquidity. $10,000 sitting in a bank account at 0.1% is arguably worth more than $10,000 of equity in a house that might take 3 months to sell.

You make a big assumption with that statement. It strongly (and wrongly) assumes that the monthly payments for owning a home are the same as the rent plus whatever you would be putting into savings. There are plenty of homes in other places you can buy for $2000/mo vs spending $2000/mo on rent in SF while saving separately in either case to maintain the liquidity you are talking about.

>As I believe I have demonstrated, you have no justification for this statement; none whatsoever. It's simply not the case that a person who choses to spend one part of his or her life saving money living with roommates in a fun town will be forever "trapped" by that choice.

The point is that the numbers in his story only work for the "fun" part of the life. Life experiences are great, but it's difficult to pay for your kid's college and save for retirement when you are pouring thousands a month down the drain with nothing (other than a good time) to show for it.

Personally, I see no compelling reason to upgrade. V3 works fine for me, and 99% of the time I'm just using the browser plug-in anyways, not the main app.

It's also a bit disappointing that I had to buy direct to get cross-platform support, which is the reason I chose 1Password, but then that means I have to pay for this upgrade. If I had paid them half the price via the Mac App Store, minus Apple's 30% no less, I would get the upgrade for free. Not sure what they are trying to tell me there.

You are confusing what the point of building equity in a home is. It's not solely an investment vehicle like stocks, bonds, options, commodities, etc. By building equity in a home, you are also eliminating your cost of rent.

>You dont need to own property to have equity and to state otherwise is a disservice.

Again, you do if you want your cost of housing to go towards building equity.

One added wrinkle is that some people may have a positive incentive to make inaccurate bets, if they have something riding on the perception of the outcome, that's sufficiently important to them to be worth spending the money pumping up the perception. Whether that's feasible depends on the size of the market, but if InTrade drives even some of the news cycle, and if $100k can move the InTrade needle on a relevant issue, then blowing $100k on it is essentially advertising spend, an attempt at image-boosting.
"As so many studies have demonstrated, success in math and the hard sciences, far from being a matter of gender, is almost entirely dependent on culture — a culture that teaches girls math isn’t cool and no one will date them if they excel in physics; a culture in which professors rarely encourage their female students to continue on for advanced degrees; a culture in which success in graduate school is a matter of isolation, competition and ridiculously long hours in the lab; a culture in which female scientists are hired less frequently than men, earn less money and are allotted fewer resources." RANT_START This person is delusional. Women are encouraged everywhere to be bold, be strong, be independent, go to college, blah, blah, blah.

I think the solution is just layers on top of Django, Rails etc.

Django's admin is a pointer towards a solution and with some refinement that solves part of the problem.

Easy-to-use modular objects that are geared towards typical content types helps another aspect of it.

And some mix of http://startbootstrap.com/ with http://bootsnipp.com/ would tackle a third part of this.

So - essentially we don't need a CMS - we need a CMS toolkit that enables building a custom CMS with a minimal amount of glue code.
I'm generally against protectionist policies. However, the lawmakers might view this as a tragedy of the commons situation. Perhaps the people believe that they're better off if everyone in society collectively shops at small retailers that employ the locals, but any individual is better off defecting and getting a low price online harming society while helping themselves. In the same way, we still need pollution regulation even if we all agree pollution is harmful because to the individual much of the cost of pollution is borne by others. I personally don't believe that's the way to view this situation, but the French lawmakers might.

Wow, I've been using d3 for almost a year now and I didn't know that line.defined() existed.

I've made lots of stuff with d3 and never needed grid lines or dealt with undefined line values, so my 'getting your hands dirty' tutorial would probably deal with totally different issues than what would be useful for you. At a certain point, you just have to buckle down and read the documentation - a quick peak at the page for svg.axis shows how to get grid lines extremely easily (http://bl.ocks.org/mbostock/4323929).

Hanging out on the stackoverflow tag is also super helpful. I either know how to answer a question and get some internet points or Lars responds within an hour and I learn something new.
It could be grounds for either. Whether an act is grounds for war doesn't necessarily mean that the country is in a position to strike back. If Israel did this, Iran probably couldn't afford to strike back militarily without incurring the full wrath of Israel's military. They'd also have to be extremely lucky to not have the US get involved as well.

Very good post. I think times have changed quite a bit. Similar to you, coming out of a CS undergrad I only considered huge (20,000+?) firms. Most of my peers were similar. 1 or 2 went to the 50 person shops, and were considered visionaries. What's changed is people realize that bigger firms don't like to change, so you get locked in to old technologies. They also offer less career alternatives - the top spots are all filled. So there's much less downside to joining a firm that may go out of business. (Look at Blackberry as the counter-example)

There's just one thing that you missed - mentorship. The first job does disproportionately put someone on a career trajectory based on how they learn to operate. 10 years later, your first boss will have a higher impact on your career than your undergrad degree. This means that it is more important to pick the right first manager at a startup, then getting the firm right. Finding a boss whom you respect, that will give you time is the most important thing for a new grad.

While I love Mark Cuban, this move is clearly not just out of the "goodness of his heart". He is a savvy investor. The production company (Finnmax) was receiving the equity stake, not the sharks. He rightly felt that the clause was limiting the quality of startups trying to get on the show. Now that he's used his leverage to get rid of it, he will get better opportunities to invest in.

He also gets the benefit of now seeming more entrepreneur friendly than the other sharks, which increases he chance of participating in deals.

>Great on Yahoo for putting a reward program in place, but when did everyone become so entitled to getting something for reporting a bug/security concern.

For better or for worse, cyber criminals started paying black hats for exclusive access to vulnerabilities, and now "good guys" such as the NSA and the FBI are paying grey hats for exclusive access to vulnerabilities. At this point, if you are a security researcher, if you voluntarily disclose a vulnerability you find to a company like Yahoo or Microsoft, even with the fairly generous rewards getting paid out, it's likely they will be taking a monetary hit compared to what an organization like the NSA would be willing to pay.

Fortunately, there are still people who have enough of a conscience that they still care about doing the right thing, as opposed to optimizing for their monetary return (and if you are selling to the government agency like the NSA, you are automatically on the side of the angels, right?). But if you are looking for someone to blame, I'd nominate organizations like the NSA and the cyber-criminals. That's not particularly constructive, though --- the world is the way it is now, and it's unlikely to be something that can be changed back to the "Good Old Days" (which, for the record, was never really all that Good).

I actually find a lot of arguments he presents compelling. However the general thrust seems to be that programming language should be accessible.

Hoon seems to fail that test.

I've yet to see how this is better than vanilla ML. I don't see that because Hoon doesn't use standard syntax or terminology. I can't just read some code and a language overview to decide if this is worth (a lot of) my time.

I think ML has a fairly steep start-up cost but is definitely understandable by regular people and has real productivity benefits.

Hoon is sufficiently obfuscated that it has an incredibly high barrier to even evaluate as a language. I don't think you need to have tons of unintelligible typing rules to make things familiar. By avoiding standard syntax and terminology, it puts an enormous burden on the potential user.
