To expand on your, correct, point, making findings of fact is a way to compartmentalize the aspects of reasoning that lead to a conclusion. If you've ever argued with someone, you know that disputes as to facts or reasoning get mixed together and continually rehashed. But disputes can be broken down into disagreements about what happened, and disagreements of what logically follows from certain premises. Then, resolving each of those disagreements individually, usually by weighing evidence against some standard, ensures forward progress towards a conclusion.

disclaimer: There's absolutely no real thought about how I'd implement this as I'm saying it.

I like trello a lot. I'm practically obsessed with it.

It works really well for my small teams and my personal life.

A couple people have said it doesn't scale well to larger teams (with necessary ymmv disclaimers).

I wonder if that's because of how inherently formless and simple it is (which I think is its strength). It's a very general metaphor that narrows to lots of specific use cases easily. It'd be interesting if there were more optional constraints you could add to boards/cards/etc to formalize a specific workflow. I'm just shooting from the hip here, not sure what that would look like.

From a quick glance, this looks very nice and well thought-out.

The only thing that I didn't like at first glance was that closures aren't explicitly delimited:

print( strings.where( \ s -> s.length() > 3 ).sort() )

This looks like it could get ugly very fast if you want to write any kind of non-trivial closures. (Which is some of the same criticism that python often gets, and from which one could learn).

"if", "for", "using" and all the other standard constructs use curly braces around the code - why not lambdas too? Hey, they even call them "Blocks" in the documentation (http://gosu-lang.github.io/docs.html#blocks)
Style guides are nice for making code look consistent and pretty on the outside, but I think far too much emphasis is placed on them (maybe because I use Python), compared to app design. Style guidelines won't make the slightest difference if your data model is crap.

Stellerators like the 7-X are the most complicated reactors to build of any design we have.

Fusion has been severely limited by funding for a long time. Last year I read a history of the U.S. fusion program by Stephen O. Dean, one of the major figures involved. It was a sad, repeated story of scientific triumphs followed immediately by drastic budget cuts. In one case, we spent $372 million on a fusion reactor, completed it, then cancelled the program and dismantled it without running a single experiment.

Right now most of our money is going to ITER. Alternate approaches are starved. MIT's levitated dipole was cancelled, UW's FRC was reduced to computational studies, etc.

Even MIT's Alcator C-Mod, one of our leading tokamaks, keeps getting threatened with cancellation. It's got the strongest magnetic field and highest plasma pressure of any tokamak in the world, and a couple years ago made a pretty major breakthrough in tokamak physics (I-mode).

If fusion had more copious funding, then certainly a lot more physics grad students would take up the field. It's not like plasma physics is uniquely difficult.

How to use equity to compensate technical cofounders
Interesting - does the motor run all the time, or in intervalls?
> nevermind why I should consider taking a year (an eternity in technological time) to master it.

I don't want to proselytise, but maybe that hints at one of the core appeals of emacs. A year is nothing in terms of the span of time emacs has been around, and so time invested in making emacs your editor is effort that won't be discarded in the next technological cycle.

The other aspect is what I mean by "making emacs your editor"; emacs has had a lasting appeal because it is so general, and so malleable. Emacs becomes a construction material for your personal editor, and everyone who uses it seriously ends up with something idiosyncratic and ad hoc, in the best senses of those words.

I am happy to see that people are slowly rediscovering socialism.

However, the "efficiency" argument is one of the poorest arguments because "efficiency" has always been a hustle. There is no way to predict and even measure all the effects of an economic decision to make any judgement based on efficiency.

I don't know of any way to pay to watch it on-line directly. I guess to support the producers at this moment you'd have to order the DVD. I have an impression that the film can still be found on-line with the search engines, some place where some user posted it on some video platform and it's still not removed, but I haven't actually tried.

Yes, somebody should also suggest to the producers to make the film available for on-line purchases (I'm too lazy to be that somebody this time).

You can read the DVD reviews on amazon.com to get the idea how people respond to it. Amazon sells the DVD cheaper than the official site.
Bank fees are due to the cost of fraudulent operations and chargebacks which doesn't exist in Bitcoins since transactions, once confirmed are not reversible. Instead you can use escrows while paying with Bitcoins.

Secondly the Bitcoin network is much more efficient in terms of economic resources used for make transactions possible so you can expect that fees will be smaller as well.
To me this just looks like uglier Scala. What's the advantage here?
Yeah, basically. 4chan's admins have been working with the police for many years because of the questionable shit that gets posted on /b/ (child porn, murder threats/evidence, suicidal posts, etc.) They would have been shut down years ago if they weren't cooperating.
I'm pretty sure the 355 regs prevent you from doing something like that (not that you couldn't just do it anyway, but that you might get caught if you are trying to do something shady).

In our case, we didn't want to give up ownership in Fog Creek (which is profitable) and the investors were happier with a separate entity.

That strikes me as dodging the question of AI extortion, which is kind of orthogonal to the question of simulations and eternal torture. Just imagine that the AI might appear within your lifetime, and will be strong enough to physically find you and punish you. It's easy enough to figure out after the fact that you didn't donate to the AI's creation, and come up with a very unpleasant punishment that doesn't require any advanced tech. That's the heart of Roko's basilisk argument, I think it's interesting even if you don't mention AI at all. It's basically a decision theory puzzle.

Another section of MMM directly related to this article would be the chapter "ten Pounds in a Five-Pound Sack".

It talks about allocating memory to the various components of the OS. It begins with a delightfully outdated section on the cost of memory: if the OS weighs 400ko it costs the user $4800 per month when renting just for that memory!

His take-aways on allocating a limited resource (memory here but it could be $) are:

* Budget every aspect, not just the resource itself. Otherwise implementers will end up swapping to disk to respect the limit, killing performances.

* Define what must be achieved along with the budget. Otherwise things will be thrown over the fence to a neighbour.

* Perspective and overall integrity must be watched : "The project was large enough and management communication poor enough to prompt many members of the team to see themselves as contestants making brownie points, rather than as builders making programming products. Each suboptimized his piece to meet his targets; few stopped to think about the total effect on the customer. [...] Fostering a total-system, user-oriented attitude may well be the most important function of the programming manager".

As a "romanian person" I'm very familiar with that atmosphere too and in my opinion there is an ongoing "security" trade between US and Poland, Romania and other countries in the area in the sense that US provides the security guarantees (and who knows what else) and the partner countries compensate through favorable contracts for US corporations, various political concessions (and who knows what else).

And we'll continue to absolve any American president of war crimes, even though it's become patently obvious that there were war crimes.

We'll hand out punishments to enlisted personnel operating under the aegis of their superior officers, while superior officers avoid serious punishment.

We forgive and forget the lawyers who authored the decisions that allowed this horror in the first place.

And they call us the good guys. More like "the didn't-get-found-out-by-decent-people" guys.

I'll admit to my own days of wanting glass parking lots in war zones or delivering godlike wrath on foreign opposition, but I don't actually have the power to make that happen. I also generally keep it to myself, because hey, coffee solves a lot of problems.

But nobody's even trying to prosecute our officials for their involvement in war crimes.
Only if you compare certain aspects of it to certain (other!) aspects of other manufacturers.

That was the point. Saying "oh but other manufacturers do other things badly" needlessly polarizes the argument and detracts from Apple's fuck-up, which is the topic of discussion here.

Of course not providing security updates after a a relatively short time is a bad thing to do, but how is that even relevant to the backdoors in this article?

(edit: changed "Android" to read "manufacturers", as em3rgent0rdr rightly pointed out your complaint doesn't have anything to do with the OS, but the manufacturers providing locked devices with Android OS on it. with Apple/iOS this just happens to be the same party)
Every time I see something about her, even overwhelmingly negative, I shake my head and think "another person tricked into feeding her success".

What does it say about you, though, that you are reading that person's commentary? Whoever it was was probably just using her notoriety to make a point they wanted to make anyway. Media feeding frenzies go both ways. The media uses Miley as much as she uses them. The system isn't as simple as one person tricking another person into free publicity.
Brazilian treasure direct is paying around 12% year or 6.5% + inflation rate in Brazil.

Get money in your american bank with a way lower rate and buy it. Beware that if the Real(brazilian currency) loses much of it's value(against your dollar) you would lose money proportionally to it.

But it's a reasonable investment as long as you diversify. There are many respectable US funds that do it.
What would be great is if your company could do its banking in BTC, while you get paid in your fiat currency. Basically, a service that makes worrying about the conversation rates and the conversion process easy.

For example, currently you can use your US-based credit card to buy something from the UK. The price will be converted, and you will be charged a small fee, but your credit card company will take care of everything. Doing the same here would be pretty cool.

For me, it was the realization that emacs can be configured to do anything you want. If you don't like how it works (and you probably won't), you can change it. Do you wish that Alt-<left arrow> would delete all of the whitespace in front of your cursor and translate the rest of the line to piglatin? You can to that. Do you want to send a copy of your file to an ftp site in addition to your local disk when you hit 'save'? And also push to github? Go for it. I guess you could say that you get out of it what you put into it. I sometimes find the auto-complete in emacs a bit lacking and I'll try another editor/IDE, but once I find something I don't like and I can't change it, I'll go back.

That being said, I think you're probably right that it is better in general and other tools can be better in specific situations.
As a former fusion startup founder, I'd like to say a word about "Stealth Mode".

Fusion startups have an even worse failure rate than regular startups. So far its pretty much 100%. And most fusion startups operate in a fairly secretive fashion. But, I can say from personal experience, that if you keep everything too secret, then if and when failure occurs, you may not have much you can point to and say "I did that". And that matters when you are picking up the pieces and trying to go on with your life afterwards. You may need to find a job doing something else, and the words "Stealth Mode startup" don't cut much cheese outside the Valley.

This is also true for non-fusion startups. Now, no founder thinks that they are going to fail, or else why would you start in the first place? But failure is always a possibility. Nobody wants to spend energy on backup plans. Its best to focus on getting the important job done. But a bit of publicity is often helpful for other reasons (attracting funding and customers, and importantly attracting possibly helpful criticism as well), and provides value in case of failure as well. I think the current crop of fusion startups are doing a better job of balancing publicity with secrecy than I did.

I just wanted to say something about this because I know that there are a lot more non-fusion startups reading this than fusion ones, and this lesson is appropriate to all startups. My post-fusion career would likely have been easier had I been able to point to a news article or two about what I had spent 5 years on. Outside of DFJ, pretty much nobody in the Valley knew who we were. Which means that years later now that I am working on a new startup, I have few contacts in the Valley ecosystem.

One advantage of Stealth Mode is that it spares you the embarrassment of public failure. This can seem like a big deal at the time - when you're living in your car and your girlfriend leaves you, not having some journalist harping on how stupid you were to even think you had a chance is one less thing to cry about. But years later, you'll know that you would have been able to handle it, and the public record that you were willing to swing for the bleachers may come in handy.
IANAL and I haven't kept up with what the Fed have said about Bitcoin, but couldn't every Bitcoin service out there fall under banking regulations as a result of ABC v. Aereo? Basically, if it looks like bank/money transfer service/etc, then it is one, regardless of the underlying technology.

Re: module method definitions: is the IIFE still required if you'd just put a named function in the call to .controller()? I try to avoid boilerplate (like IIFE's) whenever possible; vanilla AngularJS doesn't seem to require IIFE's in most cases when defining controllers as anonymous functions.

Similarly, this approach seems to require adding a block of comment-boilerplate so ng-annotate doesn't get confused; inlining it would avoid this.

I can see that particular method for module definitions taking up seven lines of extra boilerplate code vs just inlining the (named) function in the call to .controller(), and I'm not seeing any definitive advantages.

The old saying is "there's no such thing as bad publicity".

I am really so sick of hearing people repeat this mantra. Bad publicity can have silver linings and sometimes what might seems like bad publicity is not bad at all. But there are plenty of examples of bad publicity that is just bad publicity. See Tiger Woods for a straightforward example.
Since 60s, hackers have greatly changed the world of communication with internet and new technologies. Hackers democratize the communication, giving everybody the capacity to share his opinion and his culture around the world. We could do the same with energy. Why don't we build an internet to share energy? I think, as for the communication internet, hackers have to take the first step. It could change the world another time, less need to store energy, more possibilities to use renewable energies. What do you think ?

The real benefit is time of transfer. ACH is infuriatingly slow. If you'd like a payroll run to arrive in employee accounts on a Friday, it must be initiated almost a week prior.

BTC could (theoretically) make daily payroll possible. The net benefit to society could be substantial. Payday loan activity would drop considerably. Some, but not all, credit card use would drop. All of the instruments that help "time shift" money could become far less necessary, along with the substantial fees associated with it.

What is a good solution to deal with under performers from your perspective ?

- Keep them ? Let them suck and just be compassionate. They have stomachs to feed.

- Let them go over time, one by one. Can create a very fearful atmosphere where there is a sword hanging over anyone who can be let go for any definition of "under performance".

- Let them go at once, within a x% range, which probably gets decided based on a ton of things. But at least it is not slowly degrading the morale day by day. The downside is that if this a regular periodic thing, it can create a fiercely competitive and insecure environment in the company.
