As an early stage founder, if everyone else can do there job well I'm doing my job.

Of course I'm much more a jack of all trades at this point than a full blown CEO.
What are your expertise?
Great! After thinking about it some more, I think I understand why the graphs are flatter than I expected. There are differing degrees of difficulty in tactical mistakes. When a 1500-player blunders a pawn or piece, it's often resolved by a trivial one-move sequence. GM blunders are more subtle, often requiring a lengthy (say 5-10 ply) sequence to resolve. You could prove this by recording the minimum search depth the engine needs to recognize the blunder. (This is tricky, because search extensions result in many sub-variations being analyzed much deeper than the nominal search depth, but I seem to recall that Crafty has an option for disabling extensions.)
I don't think that life is absurd. There are, however, some absurd aspects to it:

- why would anybody waste their time, given that life is so short? The problem I guess is that "waste" is relative. Who wasted their time? Me in school, or my buddies partying?

- it's absurd that your luck is pretty much determined by where and when you were born. It's absurd that some people think they are so accomplished and scored many runs but without realizing they were born on third base

- it's absurd that the probability is high there is no God. why would something so mathematically amazing as the universe generate something so brutally absurd as conscious life?

- I think it is absurd that I just wasted 5 minutes of my life thinking about this instead of tucking my kids to bed or reading them a story for bed time.

Well, I guess life is in fact absurd. My original premise is invalid.
That was about sequencing DNA. It was known how to sequence DNA before the Human Genome Project started. It just cost too much and was too slow. That was a production scaling problem.

If we ever get to a mouse brain, it's just scaling from there - all the mammals have very similar DNA. We don't know how to make even a good lizard brain yet. Or even a full insect nervous system.
The "rulers of Greece", as you put it, were democratically elected. They had no less ability to speak for and negotiate on behalf of the Greek people than any future government will have; repudiating the agreements they made announces to the international community that Greece can not be trusted to pay any debts or comply with any treaties.
This might actually mean something had it been a company from a country where there wasn't secret courts that can create secret subpoenas.

The Community Reinvestment Act was at its heart about ending redlining of poor, black neighborhoods.

This is not at all a controversial part of the story.

Second the interning for an agency part. I did research work for one and learned so much in terms of business development just by understanding their work flow, how they pitch to businesses and how they find new clients.

As an aside, see if local agencies around your area are hiring freelancers. Mine did and though they didn't get any benefits, pay was regular and substantial (our freelancers probably came in about three or four days a week depending on the project load).
How fast is it? It would have to compete with the speed of an electric kettle or microwave.

Also, other than the fact that it uses induction, there are many single cup liquid boilers on the market. Their design seems really clean and efficient, though.

I'm very curious about what process is used to choose book covers. This one seems even more random than most other books related to programming.
I highly recommend https://www.silvrback.com for all of these things. Great code support, custom domains, and a bio page. Just a happy customer reporting in.
Yes IBM. But if you are considering reading this book I would suggest that it might be a waste of time, unless you are a true disbeliever or are doing research on the topic.

Mr Black is angry at IBM and does not try to hide it in his writing. He writes as if he is a prosecutor trying to convince a jury in court. Very frequently and repetitively, he describes the Holocaust and explains why what the reader just read proves that IBM or some of its executives are guilty of murder. I find it insulting to have these conclusions handed to me, even if I don't disagree with them. The repetition gets boring quickly.
Thanks for sharing the tech stack. Would love to read more about the curation kit and the microservice approach.
Life's too short to read this comment thread.
Good point, I realized that this would need to be a bit more organized. See the updated post.
I was surprised, because this was on the HN front page.

> The point of the article is to explore this absurdity.

I think the point of the article was just to sound smart. It doesn't really explore anything, nor provoke thoughts or insights.
Its not a bad idea, there is a need for qualified and solid counsel which understands technology at a reasonable fee. The problem will be how you reach the startups that can afford to pay the rates for a successful firm. A VC or Angel backed startup will likely have heavy recommendations to use a proven and known firm that has dealt with the issues of venture backed startups. So you would need to break into that network to be successful there (maybe you already have).

Personally, I'd say immigration, while reasonable, is not the first thing on a early startup's mind. Series C or later more likely, but early on its about setting things up, corporate protection, partnership agreements, investment documents, patents, contract setup, negotiations, SaaS terms, license agreements, tax issues and general corporate house keeping. Immigration is pretty darn far down the list at first.
We have something similar in poland for over 50 years.

Most of the startups based here are very much fluffy and will vaporize when the VC/angel bubble pops. They are either "lifestyle" businesses (read: small businesses. make some money but should never have taken VC, because they will never have a real exit) or just e-commerce masquerading as "tech."
I'll read it, thanks. I always (layman) understood Goedel's theorem as meaning you can be complete or consistent but not both. So you can have a language that can describe everything but you'll have paradoxes, or you'll have no paradoxes but not be able to describe everything (all possibilities) in your system
I would certainly like a 27" display, this is part of our long term vision but until component prizes go down, we are offering a 4.4" display only.
Have you tried http://buildwithcraft.com/ as an alternative CMS. I use it for all my client sites. The ability to make client specific fields on a "page" basis and a templating system that stays out of our way it is the best CMS I have worked with.
Yeah, I'm supporting your point

If you hold that something like 9/11 should be prevented, and that (actual) WMD programs should be stalled

Except nothing like 9/11 was ever prevented by broad data collection.

And: There is no "terrorist threat" to begin with, unless you also believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny.

You are still more likely to be killed by a lightning strike than by a terrorist. There's still plenty more and plenty more violent killing going on in Africa than in Middle East. But there's no oil and no convenient media narrative to be had from the former.

then it follows that this is a fine way to go about it

"CPC, RPM"

It's idiocy to think "outsiders" are needed in the first place. The CIA ACD FBI had multi decade breaches that cost the Soviets/Russia less than a couple million dollars.

If FBI agents can be flipped for so little, it's silly to think the NSA cannot get detailed engineering plans and source code for every electronics product they desire.

Not to mention they can always recruit people to work totally undercover in industry. Hire top performers, give them coaching or even sabotage rival colleagues. It certainly cannot cost more than a few million per agent to deeply infiltrate target companies. Hell, in their place, I'd be trying to get multiple people into MS, Intel, etc. to be in position to use root keys if needed.
Manning use people in old costumers for their covers[1], and I hand-picked the fisherman who presumably catches fish with his bare hands as a metaphore that the book will give you the tools you need to stop catching fish with your bare hands.

If you are going to modify a BIOS, then the BIOS can apply the microcode update. No need to tamper with OS then.
The article also mentions fanny.bmp as an NSA exploit. Here a post from 2010 [1] from someone who encountered this virus on an USB stick and saved the virus:
https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1488855/all
1. I don't think the scope of these efforts are based solely around terrorist activity. They are very wide-ranging in scale, and seem to be a natural extension of the USA's foreign policy. In an ideal world it would be nice if neighbours didn't spy on each other, but in the real world, everybody spies.

2. Yes, clearly they do, and also alter the course of some very dangerous activities a la Stuxnet and Iran's nuclear program. Just because it's possible to circumvent these measures, doesn't mean they shouldn't be use either. Firstly, you've made it more difficult for terrorists and other parties to communicate effectively, which is already a win. Secondly, they will of course be updating their methods as well. I doubt very much that what we're seeing here is the be all / end all of NSA's capability. This is implied in the article, where the group hands down certain exploits / technologies for actual implementation, but tends to keep things back. A blow, to be sure, but I doubt we've seen it all yet.

3. ISIS are not the result of the Iraq war. It's very important to understand that ISIS are simply the most recent manifestation of a fundamentalist Islamic sect known as Wahhabism [1]. As convenient as it is to blame them on simple cause and effect, the reality is, as always, far more complex. Essentially this is a group of ultra-fundamentalist muslims, who have for a long time been part of Saudi's political structure. What we are seeing now is a return to their radical roots, backed by disenfranchised and poorly educated muslims across the Middle East. These are people who were left out of the massive oil money influx during Saddam's regime, and are now fighting tooth and nail against any and all transgressors - muslim and Westerners alike.

If anything this makes a case for the NSA's activities, not against it. It's not the US's meddling that caused these issues (although it certainly hasn't helped); these are deeply ingrained philosophies in Middle Eastern culture. I don't know about you, but I'd rather have a very good understanding of their power structure and where they're putting out feelers, than not.

> morals cannot be anything more than arbitrarily-made-up rules.

One could argue morals should be based on the survival of mankind. Because that's the only positive goal of it, to survive as long as possible,though, ultimately mankind will come to an end,that's inevitable. On the other hand, as long as there is energy,artificial intelligence could outlast us.It would be mankind's testament and ultimate legacy. I always thought that, if we were to find another alien civilization,it would be through the AI they designed or in form of pure data. And it's probable that it would be available as binary data too.
And I understand more and more of it each time it gets submitted which is very satisfying.

Even using an insulated kettle, the water ends up in the same uninsulated cup.

It seems the biggest efficiency comes form heating much less water in the first place. Given that a typical cup of tea will stay hot for several times longer than the time spent heating it, the lack of insulation should be more than made up for by heating less water.

But, yes. Specs and measurements are required to substantiate specific claims.

We already have massive (forced) redistribution of wealth in the form of corporate welfare. Tariffs, patents, copyrights, land grants, competition-prohibiting regulation, direct subsidies, indirect subsidization of capital inputs via compulsory state education, roads, communication infrastructure, etc, etc, etc.

I fully agree with you that government intervention hinders technological progress, derails economic progress, and ultimately destroys the economy. The concentration of wealth through political rather than economic means is a huge problem.

But, saying you want to cut welfare to the poor is what I would call vulgar libertarianism, and ineffective anti-state propaganda. The poor and middle classes are already getting royally screwed. Ameliorating the disastrous effects that corporate privilege has on the poor isn't where we should be directing our righteous indignation, in my opinion.

I think it'd be more constructive to focus on cutting welfare from the top down, and cutting taxes from the bottom up.
They did train for fighting back in case of an "imperial aggression". Their strategy was to push back any offensive with overwhelming conventional force (massive amounts of tanks). See for example here:

Yes, blame the victim, a young college kid who didn't know any better. But I suppose even a college kid from a village with less than one lac people should immediately know all the subtleties of picking up women, right?

FYI, it's a dick move to accept a drink from someone who you don't want to continue interacting with. I wouldn't accept a drink from a man I didn't want to at least hang out with either.
I think you are citing the exception(s) to the rule. Most GMs are stronger than IMs imo. I don't think it's psychological. I have played players (GM and otherwise, including other untitled players like myself) that I know are so much better than me because they win and I can't even comprehend how they arrived at making the moves that they did.

As an aside, this is kind of an issue I have with chess analysis. A computer can 'verify' that a certain move is good or bad. That's fair enough. But in the past I have seen players (of lower skill level to me) discuss analysis in for example, a battle between two bigname players.

I have sometimes wondered if these discussions are truly honest because I have seen moves made by top players that I don't even understand how they arrived at the process of deciding that was the correct move vs others. Excluding GMs, a human simply cannot prune the game tree at depth like a computer can. So discussing a few tiny branches of the game tree like one is correct and the others aren't just seems really silly for the rest of us.
I don't know. What If I took that page and divided it into <div>'s, removed the middle one, and replaced the others with copies of the original page? Then, I could take each of those <div>'s, break them into pieces, remove the middle one, and replace the others with copies of the original page. Then...

> The previous one, the industrial revolution, created lots of jobs because the new technology required huge numbers of humans to run it.

This doesn't really make sense. The industrial revolution more or less replaced lots of relatively unproductive jobs with a smaller amount of much more productive jobs. There might have been more work, but individual people were doing more work as well.

> Technology provides leverage on ability and luck, and in the process concentrates wealth and drives inequality. I think that drastic wealth inequality is likely to be one of the biggest social problems of the next 20 years.

Wealth inequality is already a huge problem, and has been for a long time. I don't see how it's going to be worse in the next 20 years, given in a lot of countries (China, India, etc.) we're seeing wealth flow to, or be created by, a growing middle class. A lot of the 'Occupy' movement was somewhat misguided - the percentage of people in the United States or Australia or the UK who are in the 1% worldwide is perhaps as high as 20% or 30%.

Software, rather than hindering, may very well help people in rapidly developing nations generate wealth because the economic barrier to entry for software businesses is comparatively low compared to other types of businesses.

I'm also a little concerned that it seems as though many people believe wealth redistribution is the only way to make it more equal. Why can't we create wealth in some places? As far as I understand, wealth is not finite.

Once we get to the point of widespread AI-driven automation, then we'll have a real economic problem. It won't be just because people can't generate wealth - people may very well begin to lose wealth. But this is a 50-year problem, not a 20-year one.

How many more Snowden's do you need?
You need to pick your battles. Nobody is going to listen to your serious concerns about NSA overreach if you're freaking out any time the NSA does anything at all. If you hope to rein in the NSA, impose real oversight, and limit its power, you're going to have to start by acknowledging that "shut down all US intelligence agencies" is not a real policy proposal and not everyone who thinks the NSA has some legitimate role to play in US security is a paid government shill.

That is a ridiculously absolutist statement. Do you really stand by this? It's not possible that some things the NSA does are good and beneficial, because other aspects of that organisation are questionable?

I'm sorry, but your entire post comes off as very partisan - and quoting Greenwald plays into this as well.

Hello HK,

I've been living in Southeast Asia and working remotely for a company in SF for the past 2 years as a Front-end and iOS developer.

I really like my current job, co-workers and bosses, my lately the salary has been extremely late putting me in a position to seek something else.

I don't see many southeast asia jobs being published here, but any chance you guys know any? Or a remote position?

Thanks

The problem is that Jason's argument was very weak to start with. If you really want to install batteries in houses, that's going to be very expensive, AND you are not going to use the same type of batteries that you use for a car.

Yes, Goedel's Theorem says you can be complete or consistent but not both, but only about systems that are stronger than Peano Arithmetic, i.e. systems that contain the axioms of Peano Arithmetic, as well as any other axioms.

Usually this is left out, because Peano Arithmetic is treated as a MVP for mathematics. But Nelson claims Peano Arithmetic may be inconsistent, and proposes a weaker system.
