Hopefully whatever backup plan they come up with includes a way for me to mail them a spare hard drive and get a drive full of internet archives in return.
It might also show that someone who has better health and fitness indicators is more likely to exercise regularly.

Maybe environmental concerns (eg: stress) impact your health and fitness indicators, which causes a lack of motivation and energy for exercise that you would normally have without the stress. I know, as an overweight and highly stressed person, that I often feel that way about exercise.
The system as shown has a state of a few frames. Suppose it had 1 instead for illustration. Suppose there's a dangerous ball right next to you, but it's actually moving away from you, so you don't need to run; in this model, you will probably learn to always run since you cannot know the velocity of the ball (whether it's coming at you). So this model could only work if you have a state-full representation of your world, which seems to be the case with simple games and a few frames, but is not the case in the real world (in the real world your naive state would need to arbitrarily back in time -- e.g. say you see a ticking time bomb, and then the clock is hidden from you).

This flaw is understandable since it seems Q-Learning was conceived to deal with Finite Markov Processes, which are finitely state-full, by definition (if you don't know them, they're essentially a non-deterministic state machine).

UX tip: 100+ categorized resources about User Experience
Considering the sheer vastness of the continental US, it's not surprising to me that there haven't been many good plans to remove our dependence on cars. The only options, really, for good nation-wide transport are trains and planes. Trains have an incredibly expensive infrastructure, especially the high-speed trains needed to traverse the thousands of miles between the East and West coasts. Planes are slightly less expensive, but the pain of needing to show up three hours early for a one hour flight, risk of lost luggage, and general fear now associated with traveling by air make planes a less than attractive option.
Being able to sell at any time is of course understood, and that in no way prevents the kind of ignorance that leads to total losses in the public market.

Investors often ride investments down, telling themselves in a delusional fashion that their investment will turn around if they just hold out. This occurred rampantly during the collapse of the Nasdaq in 2000/01.

Or companies like Bear Stearns or Lehman, that vaporized in a matter of weeks (Bear went from like $60 to $2 in two trading days), essentially completely wiping out public shareholders. Worldcom and Enron are other similar examples.

It's also quite easy for investors to play with options in the public market and rapidly lose everything. All it takes is filling out one form.

Elon will not wait for Congress. Who will pay for it?

1. The people who want to move there - target price $500k USD.

$500,000 is the estimated price at which the demand is estimated at 80,000 tickets. Elon figures that if the price of moving to Mars is comparable to buying a home in California, the number of people who could afford to go and would want to go is ~80,000. So that's ~$40B or so.

2. Elon - maybe worth $50-100B by then?

If we assume that SolarCity and Tesla will continue to grow for the next 10-20 years, then Elon's net worth will probably be ~$50B or so. Not enough to fund a full Mars colony, but it'd be a really good start.

3. Satellite internet profits

The recently announced satellite internet effort by SpaceX, financed by Google and Fidelity, is intended to provide high-speed, low-latency global internet access to billions of people. Elon expects to be able to fund part of the Mars colonization project with profits from that.

4. NASA / Congress

NASA already expects to spend many billions on making trips to Mars. It does not seem unlikely that, in 20 years, they would be willing to join some efforts and allocate $10-30B towards Mars colonization with SpaceX.

5. VCs and billionaires.

The Martian economy may have a rough start but will probably grow wildly once established. SpaceX already attracts VC funds in the billions from large firms and billionaires, and this will certainly be amplified in the future.

Managing yourself: 7 ways to be a more effective version of you
I study philosophy and history primarily. Human Swarm by Gregory Rawlins is a huge inspiration. (The book was never released, but you can read it here: https://web.archive.org/web/20080414161145/http://www.roxie....)

That book made me realize that scientific revolutions and financial revolutions go on at the same time. This is because when a new mathematical framework is discovered, scientists use it to reveal nature (which improves labor), and finance uses it to reveal human nature. (which improves influence) Therefore, TWO bubbles exist in parallel:

- The assumption that future labor will be better organized (through science)

- The assumption that better organization will yield greater influence (through finance)

Those bubbles eventually drift, but they can re-synchronize, and right now, finance has outpaced science. Considerably. Smart money is keeping liquidity on the sidelines and awaiting a resynching event: Either finance tones it down or science invents new math.

Here's a gem from the book:

"After the war, the same crisis of confidence came as after the last one, the same blame game started, the same things happened. As usual, we relabeled our own past. Once again we found ways to blame it on someone, and therefore disown it as an event. It was ‘long ago.’ We’re different today though, aren’t we? Such things could never happen again, or so we tell ourselves. On the other hand, the above forecast of 2040 can’t possibly be right. No public forecast can be. Even were it to have proved accurate, had it been kept secret, once published its existence would change our future. Most of us would ignore it, as we ignore most things. But if it strikes a nerve, some of us might work hard to bring it about. Others of us might work equally hard to stop it from happening. Whoever wins, the resulting future won’t be the same as the forecast had stated it would be. No forecast can predict its own effect. It can’t predict how many of us will either fight it or push it, nor how many of us will try to predict how many of us will fight or push and try to profit from that, nor how many of us will try to predict how many of us will try to profit, and thus profit from that. Pattern recognition leads to pattern exploitation. Thus, a public forecast can come true only if none of us cares about it. In other words, our only useful predictions are our predictably useless ones. Call it Gödel’s Inanity Theorem."

Cuban's weirdly wrong in several ways in his post.

2014 was the second biggest year in the history of the US stock market. More than 275 companies went public to raise more than $85B. In 2000, 406 companies raised about $96 billion. So sure, last year, there were fewer IPOs and they were on average larger than 2014. But this is not a sign of over-regulation.

Heavy SEC regulations did not crush IPOs for SMBs. That's a knee-jerk blame government reaction that conveniently ignores the real reason why IPO-able companies don't go public much any more. They don't need to.

Uber is a good example. Their Series E is coming in at over a billion. Historically, they would have had to turn to public markets for that money.

But the JOBS Act actually made it possible for private companies to stay private a lot longer, because they are no longer penalized for granting stock to their employees, for example.

Personally, I would overjoyed if it was impossible to sell crappy private companies' shares. That would limit the damage to the rest of the economy, but sadly that's actually not the case. SecondMarket, Exhilway private capital market, Campbell Lutyens, Cogent Partners, Probitas Ps and Triago all serve the secondary market for shares of private companies.

If Cuban can't find a greater fool to snap up his shares, he's doing something wrong. There are plenty of venues to offload that stuff.

Cuban also seems to misunderstand liquidity in public markets. Just because a company is listed on a public exchange doesn't mean its shares are liquid. There are many listed companies that see very little trading in their shares on any given day. And if their valuation tanked, for whatever reason, that limited liquidity would evaporate altogether.

During the 2008 crisis, it was impossible to unload many companies' shares without making the price tumble. You just couldn't move a large block.

No, its not misleading. These dudes do NOT fuck around.

I live in Pueblo, Colorado. To be exact, I live in the East Side in whats known as a barrio/ghetto/hood. If you google Fearnowville Colorado you'll see my home. I also have a LOT of experience in hospitality and F&B and have had regular personal contact with a wide variety of immigrants. My homie Santos is an illegal from Neuvo Leon. Marianna grew up in Sonora. When I was 18 I went to prison for drug charges and made real friendships with mexican and american criminals of all stripes. I learned about ejidos, jesus malverde, mis animales, and I am intelligent. Now don't get me wrong, I'm clean and totally legit. I got kids and I don't roll with gangsters. I am respected by my peers and I earned that respect. So that's where I'm coming from. Now I gotta say you don't know much more about being a criminal than I do about Haskell. People DO disappear, and it happens a LOT. Here and there both. Here in my small southwestern town of 100,000 I can think of multiple black baggings.... once in the parking lot of a walmart, even. I know there's stats about Mexico DF that look good, but you believe the Mexican feds?

Personal anecdote: my wifes grandpa was a man named Jan Bonte. He was born in .dk, his dad was killed by nazis and he was placed in a camp. He immigrated after the war, first to .nl where he met and married his wife, and then to the US. They had a family in Colorado and after a late-life divorce he moved to Kino in the Sonoran desert for winters and came back to Colorado for summers. Because he routinely crossed the border he was ordered to mule something, and he declined. After a month of no contact we received news he died. We went to clean his remains from his house, which was gruesome after spending October in the sonoran heat after being chopped up by an axe.

Day 1 a duece n half came up with a gaggle of Mexican troops. Green uniforms, M-16s, idk if they were cops or 'cops' or what, but they gave us 3 days to gtfo.

Day 2, we picked up his ashes and had a small ceremony. He had local friends, who told us what happened and who did it.

Day 3, we were on the road

I put so many personal details because seriously: dox it if you'd like. You'll see Jan isn't counted among the victims of the drug war but it doesn't matter. The important thing is "this is how it is" and to hope it never happens to me or mine. Aqui hubo una mano negra

I don't have a point at all, I just feel I see/know an entirely different world from the average HN poster. You see alarmists clutching pearls and spreading tales - part of a bigger trend to spread fear and exagerate dangers. I see people I know and love suffer....and hope that black hand doesn't visit me.

If you look at their expenses, a huge chunk of their 'loss' is them issuing shares to employees. They're required to count this as a cash expense. You can make the argument that they could be profitable if they stopped granting shares, but in reality, this is part of their employee compensation plan and if they stopped issuing shares, they'd likely have to incur actual cashflow costs in order to keep their employees (eg. higher salaries or cash bonuses). Amazon is in a similar situation.

"Heavy car usage", in NYC?

After decades living in real car-only cities (Atlanta, Miami, Sao Paulo), I'm glad to live car-free in NYC. And considering family and small child.

While gentrification continues to push people away from Manhattan, you still have decent options of public transportation to everywhere around here.

We can criticize NY for many things, but being a 'car city' is not one of them.

Anyway, I really wish more cities in the world could offer similar life style, allowing people to leave their cars behind and use public transportation. It would save lives, the environment, and increase everyone's happiness.

RIP Mike.
" and employees sign up to deliver our compost by bike to a local farm in Red Hook, Brooklyn"

1. Bike is not an efficient mechanism for delivering compost (in fact, it's probably the least efficient mechanism)

2. Why does it matter that they took it to a local farm and not "the local compost heap"?

IE they specifically mention both in an attempt to make it seem like that's better than "i drove compost to the dump and dropped it at the county compost pile".

That's hipster.

One important point is that consultants can be a way to buy a slice of a skill set or experience level that you couldn't afford to own outright, in the same way that Berkshire Hathaway benefits from buying slices of companies on the public markets that it couldn't own 100%.

I don't think Kings County/Brooklyn has a municipal compost pile. Nor any active dumps in the city limits.

Also I would guess the "local farm" bit is showing that they are supporting tiny/small businesses which is exactly their target market for sellers.

If you have no access to the courts and no ability to enforce contracts because your business is illegal, you're left with only violence. But violence is a pain in the ass, so perhaps you're extraordinarily violent to a few people in the hope of scaring everyone else.

Correctness is very important. But being correct and faster is better. A lot of the techniques I use to accomplish that start to look similar to immutable. Copy on write is the cornerstone of good lock-free algorithms as well as immutable data structures. However, not being religious about mutability has tangible performance benefits - depending on the details, as always.
