Chuck Colson is also not a good person. If we want to let this rest by putting Ulbricht and Colson on the same level, I'm fine with that.
I have better than average dental coverage and a pretty good dentist. The crowding in my lower front is starting to cause problems.

Even with coverage, Invisalign would be 4-5K out of pocket. Faced with that or putting the money in my 401 or 529 - cheerio offending tooth when the time comes, it's been a pleasure chewing with you.

I didn't know about the mail order option. Definitely going to look in to it.

As an aside. Overbite, and hence one of the main reasons for lower crowding, only came about once we invented cutlery. Humans up to the middle ages ripped meat with their teeth. The wear & tear kept lengths in check and edge-to-edge.

Edit: I applied to one of the companies mentioned in the article.

Background. My dentist had suggested that Invisalign could rectify my issue.

This particular company took my credit card details, then asked me to submit photos of my teeth (great design, otherwise I may have not gone through with the laborious process). After inspection of the images they advised me to talk to my dentist and canceled the charge to my card.

I knew it was a longshot and would have gone ahead. I'm impressed this particular service turned down the business when my dentist was willing to roll the dice.

Can you point to some specific policies that support the idea that the GOP will encourage competition from smaller players against entrenched interests? I mean, I don't think the Democrats are much better on that front, mind you, but they're the ones supporting Net Neutrality, while Republicans in Congress are trying to ban the FCC from doing this, and Net Neutrality is very much about encouraging competition from smaller players in the market.

And for that matter, maybe they don't 'hate America', but it's awfully hard to tell sometimes, what with Sarah Palin's 'Hit List' of abortion doctors, and the keen interest they take in who can and can't get married, and pretty regularly making the poor out to be villains somehow, etc etc. I suppose if you you're only counting white, Christian conservatives, then Republicans don't hate America. Otherwise, it's a tough sell.

Given that we had exactly 36 visitors from this comment a month ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8850776), I would say the conversion rate so far is rather good. Of course a "conversion rate" is rather hard to calculate with any kind of accuracy with such a small sample size.
Are there any open source examples of beautiful C++? I don't doubt that it can exist, but I've never seen any. Maybe "beautiful for C++", but not "beautiful".

Banks have a strong incentive to avoid money laundering activities

Most banks have automated systems that flag on certain automated conditions (I know because I built one). Contrary to some of the posts in here, they do not want to flag accounts, and most do the absolutely minimal mandated under AML legislation.

We have no idea why his account was closed, but it is extremely unlikely it was due to suspected money laundering. If they suspect money laundering, they legally must report it (this is the case in the US, Canada, and the UK, at a minimum) to the appropriate government agency, where it will be investigated. They can't simply say "looks like money laundering, go somewhere else".

As always everyone is operating under very incomplete information.

which was apparently the first mention. So, as far as the agent could tell, this was the first person to mention Silk Road on the open Internet. That's what's reasonable.

Startups: 3 Quotes every Entrepreneur should know
I'm in a similar boat. Started with the training wheels of Codeacademy and such after having a basic working knowledge of HTML/CSS/JS and wanting to build database driven projects and grow my skillset.

Picked up RoR and was quickly overwhelmed with a million unfamiliar concepts as pointed out in the excellent (and very similar) article "This is Why Learning Rails is Hard."[1]. That knowledge tree they show is one I didn't formally stumble upon until later, but throughout my progress I realized "hey, this concept is really part of the much broader topic of X." Then I'd go down a rabbit hole on X.

Before I found that tree though, I had already given up on Mike Hartl's tutorial once, and decided I really needed to have a functional grasp of Ruby and core programming concepts. From there I realized "Ruby/RoR on Windows is not ideal." Then went down the whole devops path and learned about things like Vagrant/Chef/Virtualbox, etc.

I also started picking up books on much deeper computing concepts to understand the lower level mechanics of the magic. Like you I went down to first principles and even a bit of assembly. I couldn't write any to save my life and knowledge is still fuzzy, but I now grasp how the concept of data structures came to be, and more importantly WHY.

I recently tackled Mike Hartl's Rails Tutorial again. His updated version is a great improvement, and this time I actually understand the concepts he goes through. When a new one is introduced, I have enough of the underlying knowledge to at least have a sense of what/why something is, or what I need to Google to learn more.

I wish more classes online provided "deep dive" resources/links on things. Like, if CodeAcademy has an exercise on Ruby covering types, an eager student might really benefit from a deep dive sidetracking into dynamic vs. statically typed languages, and a high-level of what they should know.

My biggest gripe with the tutorials that are out there these days is that they cater to either absolute beginners or competent users. Wish they did a better job of trying to bridge the gap from absolute beginner to intermediate.

Another great example of that is the concept of design patterns. I haven't found many great beginner/intermediate resources on this, but as I've started learning more, I found myself saying "hmm, seems like lots of people do this a similar way--I wonder why." Turns out some approaches to problems are largely solved issues for a majority of use cases, hence: design patterns. This got me down the whole path of software architecture and starting to grok some of the higher-level abstractions and way of thinking in the abstract which was tremendously helpful compared to just being given specific examples with no broader context.

This has absolutely nothing to do with absolute internet speeds, just with relative speeds.
This reminds me of something I'm curious about: why aren't large SRAM arrays displaying DRAM? I know 6Ts are larger than 1T+1C, but even if SRAM were 6x as expensive (which ought to be a severe upper bound) that would put it at $50/GB which sounds like it could easily be worthwhile for certain workloads -- not unlike SSDs a few years ago. The latency advantage would be gigantic, especially if you could crowd the chips near the CPU.

Is SRAM comparatively power hungry or something?
The history of the 20th century would disagree. Cambodian killing field, Soviet gulag, cultural revolution. The most rabid secular governments were among the most brutal. Look at what's been happening in North Korea.

This thread is old, and has tons of comments. I searched for "paid prioritization" to see if anyone else had the thought I just did about what may be happening here. I don't believe anyone has yet, so either I'm wrong about my assertion or I'm the first to post. :)

> These enforceable, bright-line rules will ban paid prioritization

'Prioritize' means arranging things in order of their relative importance. Paid prioritization means arranging delivery of goods (Internet services for example) by order of the relative amount you charge for things that are important to you. Revenue, for example. Or no revenue, more specifically.

My gut says that free Internet should be a basic human right. Period. Nobody should be able to charge for it. I'm not sure how in the hell we're going to put that into practice though. I'm thinking about it.

As for compute services, well, those aren't free to run. And those compute jobs require bandwidth to complete. Should those be free? I think not. Should someone be allowed to use their 'free' allowance of Internet when it takes away from the compute services interconnects? No.

I could be off on a wrong tangent, so I'll just stop now.

This is my personal opinion I've gathered from experience. I still have some friends using XMPP from Gtalk times. I have 0 new XMPP contacts for years since the fall of Gtalk. One might argue that it is still going strong, but I don't see anything proving that point. And the most authoritative indicator for ourselves is the amount of companies signed up for Jaconda. Guess having to add DNS records so XMPP is working on your domain is not helping either.
Great post.

Something to add: This cycle not happened only once in a programmer life.

IS RECURSIVE!

Every time you start with a new language or tool or job, the cycle start again.

But is added ANOTHER step: Overconfidence and blind arrogant OR indifference.

This is revealed when somebody dismiss the new language/tool/programing job and because is more-or-less similar to previous knowledge and could learn the basics of it in days/hours then think it nailed again. Is possible to be in this new honey-moon for a while (or forever somethings), but could eventually and suddenly hit hard that you are NOT A MASTER OF 2 SKILLS, you are a (maybe) a MASTER of 1 and a noob of 2.

The arrogant & indifferent mind also is revealed in the condesending thinking towards who are outside the "guild" or "below" us. Is very easy to believe you are in the laters steps, when is really not.

The key point in this article is the problem of "you don't know what you don't know". For years I imagine I was a decent developer (and could have said similar things as others in this threads) but is only in the last 2 years where I realize how misplaced my understanding was. I was in the "The Cliff of Confusion" and very happy about it ;)

In CO, buying MMJ still requires a medical card. If you go to a medical/recreational dispensary without a medical card you can only purchase recreational MJ, which tends to be sativas or hybrids while medical tends to be indicas and indica hybrids.

There are also different tax and quantity rules around MMJ in Colorado. Medical card holders pay 2% (I think) tax while recreational pay over 20% tax. Medical card holders can also purchase 2oz at a time while recreational users can only buy an ounce at a time. Medical card holders can also grow twice the amount at home than non-card holders.

Until there's no differentiation between medical and recreational MJ, there will still be a need for doctors who are willing to fill out the paperwork for medical cards.

Along these lines, someone once tried to convince me that governments should be allowed to use evidence no matter how they get it. He basically proposed that police could go into someone's house to search without a warrant, but if they didn't find anything then the police could be prosecuted, which makes them only do it if they have a really strong reason to think they'll find something. It was a surprisingly good argument for something that many people would instinctively flinch away from.

Anyway, my answer was that if the police really had such strong suspicion of someone and they were right, they've got to have enough to get a warrant anyway, which is similar to what you're saying.

No where near.

WW1 (which was by far the most deadly war prior to WW2) killed around 10 million military personal[1]. Assume they were all male.

World population in 1918 was about 1.8B.

Breaking those 10 million deaths over the 4 years of WW1 gives around 1.4 deaths per 1000 people on earth.

Maternal mortality in England and Wales was around 40 deaths per 1000 births in the same period (England and Wales probably had as good a health system as anywhere on earth at this point, so most places were worse).

I'm not sure how to convert from deaths per birth to deaths per people. Women generally had multiple children.

By comparison, a place like Somalia currently has a death rate of around 10 per 1000 births[4].
