Yes.

But to clarify for anyone wondering, I would also say that stealing is never pleasurable unless someone is severely fucked up, in which case overall their life is going to be unpleasurable (shitty) in general.

So it's not like my argument is an excuse to steal.

In fact, if I were to write it all out carefully, it would be the ultimate and most compelling justification for practically never stealing.
>and highly-paid tech consultants are almost never allowed to waste their time actually programming

There are plenty of niche programming consultants that are highly paid to actually program--firmware reverse engineering, and cryptographic security specialists are 2 of them.

There was a whole thread a few years ago where tptacek argued that $400 an hour is reasonable for certain specialty programmers, which is more than all but the highest paid surgeons make.

I will move to WikiVoyage now, but I have to say -- WikiTravel still benefits from a better (and a more famous) name. Many people won't even get to know this difference.

Maybe there's a market or an app for the 'Freelance Teacher', if there isn't already and I'm just ignorant.

One-on-One connectivity with a (self proclaimed?) subject matter expert, where the subject could be anything.

Things like Reddit and Quora exist, and Ask HN, how to wikis, guide web pages, etc. etc. but one issue I have with the forum style is that it doesn't foster a student-teacher / master-apprentice experience because there's always someone saying "no, that's wrong" -- or something to that affect.

Connecting students with teachers, where 'student' means someone wanting to learn and 'teacher' means someone willing to share experience and knowledge.

Does such an app exist?

Silicon Valley Investor Warns of Bubble at SXSW
I'm torn about whether to agree with you. On the one hand, I absolutely see your point. On the other hand, having played around with two iterations of Oculus' VR headset, I absolutely understand where this direction is coming from: VR can be absolutely disorienting if there is in-VR motion that is unrelated to your physical motion. I've tried playing TF2, for example, and I couldn't stand it for very long. I imagine that I could get accustomed to a slower, single-player FPS eventually, but it would take some time.

The people who are currently most visibly developing and pushing VR are careful about it because they don't want VR to get bad press from people getting sick, and I totally respect that.

I do believe that there is hope that if/when VR becomes more widespread and socially accepted, developers will start pushing the boundaries over time, and we'll get the kind of VR that you're wishing for.

Regardless of whether rent control works or not, my point was that it's not pointless to legislate around things like this. 'Laws of nature' get legislated around all the time. Look at violent crime and the natural law of 'might makes right' as one example. Cigarettes here in Australia are another example of legislation changing supply and demand.

As an aside, pi is a fixed constant, whereas 'rent control' is an incredibly complex concept that relies on many other complex concepts - for example, what does 'rent control' mean in a communist country? For a nomadic tribe? It relies on certain concepts around property ownership and capitalism. Which is fine to say it doesn't work as it is in SF, I'm just pointing out that there's a lot more flex in the concept than in the constant 'pi' :)

Except that we cannot verify that you actually deploy the "open" code. It's obviously commendable that you do development in the open, and have people review the work you do.

Because by creating a scenario that encourages assholes, all the not-assholes get pushed out. And thus, by being short-sighted nice people, you wind up with a city of assholes.

As a landlord, deciding to raise rent on your units a modest amount, instead of a financially crippling amount, does not put you in a position to be "pushed out" than landlords who choose to be greedy.

Your costs have not increased such that you need to charge your tenant more than what they can afford. With prop 13, property tax increases are capped, the cost of public utilities that a landlord often takes on (like trash and water) don't increase that much year-over-year, and neither does the cost of contractors to maintain the property. Any increases are in-line with non-housing-related cost of living increases.

So what I don't understand about your statement is that you seem to assert that other landlords behaving like assholes somehow causes non-asshole landlords to be unable to maintain their properties and thus have to make the uncomfortable choice between either becoming assholes, or selling their properties to assholes and leaving. That doesn't seem to make sense unless somehow the cost of maintaining properties has started rising by more than single-digit percentage points per year, which doesn't make sense.

Let's assume that property maintenance somehow increases in cost by 5% per year (which I think is at the high end). The apartment in question here would be covered by a $73/mo rent increase. While that's not nothing to most renters, I think it could be considered a reasonable increase, and something that probably wouldn't break the bank. But the apartment in question isn't getting its rent raised by 5%, or even 10%. It's getting raised by 315%. There's no possible way anyone could ever believe that it costs anywhere remotely close to 315% more to maintain that property this year than it did last year.

Remember, we're not talking about profit here. We're just talking about the idea that you're pushing, that only charging a rent increase of 5% will put a landlord out of business, and that somehow the only way to stay in business is to "do what everyone else is doing" and raise rents by much higher numbers. If that's somehow true, I would love to see numbers that suggest that, because it sounds like an outrageous claim to me.

Also, you should probably address harryh's excellent question about everyone else. Preferably with something other than an assertion of privilege.

I find it interesting that you bring up the concept of privilege, as I believe landowners to be a particularly high-privilege group, especially when compared to many of the people who have been losing their homes over the past couple years.

Regardless, I agree that it's an excellent question, and I've already replied. If you feel my response is lacking, please reply to it and I'll try to clarify my position better. I'm really just trying to understand and provide my perspective, and possibly learn a bit in the process.
Actually quite a few places allow you to get in without such deposits. I've lived here since my last two years of college - totaling 8 years now - and never had an issue getting in with almost zero down aside from rent and guarantor company fee. My rents have ranged from $350/month to now $1600/month.

Warning: The central idea in today's post is taken seriously by serious physicists; but it is not experimentally proven and is not taught as standard physics.

Today's post draws heavily on the work of the physicist Julian Barbour, and contains diagrams stolen and/or modified from his book "The End of Time". However, some of the arguments here are of my own devising, and Barbour might(?) not agree with them.

Your comment only contains a very individualistic perspective. Sure, it's a great experience to share some of what you have accumulated over your life, for you personally and for your children.

It seems likely that the owners will "change their mind" and decide to convert the "storage area" back into an apartment once the tenant is gone and they can rent at market rate again.

It might not work as well as they hope for but there is nothing crackpottery about the Mill so far.

Or, to put it differently, there might be crackpottery in some of the things they haven't revealed yet. Who knows.

(Naturally, this says nothing about whether it will ever actually be built or whether any actual silicon will actually run fast -- there are so many other reasons besides the purely architectural reasons why it might not. Chips are hard.)

A concrete example of something the Mill does better (at least on paper and in a simulator): it does spills and reloads of values differently, in a way that doesn't go through the data caches. The same mechanism also handles local values in many cases. If they don't pollute the data caches, you can get by with smaller and/or higher-latency caches and still get the same (or higher) performance. The loads that are still there on the Mill are those that really have to be there (and are there in the compiler's intermediate representation, before register allocation).

There are also some innovations in the instruction encoding: they can put immediates inline in the instructions, like on the x86 and other Old Skool CISC architectures. They can even do that for quite large immediates. That's better than having to spend several instructions "building" the constants or having to load them at runtime from a table, as the RISC architectures do. They do this with a very regular encoding while keeping the encoding very tight (and variable-width). The way they pack many operations into each instruction means that even if the instructions are byte-aligned, the individual operations don't have to be. If the operations only need 7 bits for their encodings, then that's what you get. (The bit length is fixed per "slot" in the encoding so it's not as variable -- and slow -- as it sounds.)

Instruction decoding and execution is pipelined: the first part of the instruction is decoded first and starts executing while the rest of the instruction gets decoded. This ties in with the way call/return/branch is handled so the last part of the instruction effectively overlaps its execution with decoding and execution of the first part of the instruction at the new site. This works for loops as well so the end of the loop executes overlapped with the start of the loop and so that the prolog/epilog overlaps with the body. You can think of it as a very strong form of branch delay slots -- or as branch delay slots on acid. This is combined with an innovation that allows vectorized loops with very cheap prologs/epilogs so you can opportunistically vectorize practically all your loops. If a loop only executes twice (or thereabouts) you break even.
Life Lessons from Machine Learning
It is possible to build reliable monotonic counters based on time, and that's actually a sound approach.
With all due respect, 170M points is a trivial data model, it fits on a thumb drive. That is seconds worth of data in IoT; you can brute-force the implementation and look great. Several well-known companies do. It just doesn't scale to anything real.

The location analytics data models I need to support, e.g. mobile telecom, have trillions of polygons. Indexing millions of records per second continuously concurrent with sub-second queries is pretty normal for IoT, and easy to support with good computer science. (Location is almost never described as a point by primary sources but as polygons; these are converted to centroid approximations for platforms incapable of doing analysis on the source.)

While I do not know the details of your implementation, I do know that indexing complex geometries using a skiplist index won't achieve the necessary volume or velocity required for IoT-like applications. If you restrict yourself to point data, people have been building extremely fast, extremely large quad-trees for years; you just can't scale high-value analytics with them, which limits their utility.

For many things that may be the case, but to my knowledge Java doesn't make any strict assumptions about garbage collection. You can get drastically different behavior just by passing different parameters to your JVM for instance.

As long as the Go garbage collection works, it shouldn't affect how the program runs. That's kind of the whole point of GC. Hell, you could write a toy VM with no garbage collection, and it would work fine until you blew your memory.
I also contest the author's estimate of what 8 year olds are capable of, having very clear memories of being that age myself, and generally always being underestimated by adults. Some of whom sounded like this one.

Luckily that set of adults did not include my own parents, who thought it would be fun to have a full encyclopedia at home, and I got pulled in by it no less than Wikipedia sometimes pulls me in, in adulthood.
That is both funny and horrifying. :D
I remember science fairs. I definitely had help from my parents and/or my partners parents. I don't think we ever won anything more than an honorable mention but the experience was really great. One time we did a soil erosion study looking at what kind of tiered mounds would erode less. The second one I forgot what the hypothesis was, but it got me and a friend to study blood and come to an understanding of clotting via platelets. My friends mom was a nurse and had us into the hospital to use the microscopes and take microscopic pictures of blood. The most fun was building an electric motor with my dad (RIP) out of nails and copper wire. I think the test was to see what manners of winding the wire would produce a faster motor. Nothing ground breaking. I'm sure we could have found the answers through study and not testing but it sure helped me grasp the concepts better. These were all elementary school projects and pretty rudimentary but it taught me that you are able to figure things out on your own. You don't necessarily need someone else to do it for you. Not an argument with the article really, just my own experience.

A bit sensationalist IMO. From my experiences costly Tokyo rentals are optional.

During college I lived in central Tokyo on a budget that was much less than what I had in the States (120,000 jpy) - working near full time mind you.

Started out by living in a few different netcafes for a month and moved into a humble flat with initial costs under 100,000 jpy.

Now with a non-Japanese wife and no guarantor, we pick places where these fees are non-existent and landlords or organizations are okay with foreigners working non-traditional jobs using guarantor companies (monthly guarantor fee of around 2600 jpy). More so than the deposits, it sucks I get discriminated against for my race.

Hello, 1 / 2 are not going to be problems for sure because:

1) At most once must be clearly asked for with the right API call, the default is at least once, and the API has a protection to avoid an error by mistake, that is, "retry=0" is only accepted if you specify a single copy for the message, otherwise an error is returned:

> addjob myqueue myjob 0 retry 0

(error) ERR With RETRY set to 0 please explicitly set REPLICATE to 1 (at-most-once delivery)

2) No active messages are removed on memory pressues, only acknowledged messages (already processed at least one time) that are still not garbage collected since not every node that may have a copy was reached. This means that Disque by default try hard to avoid spurious multiple deliveries, but on memory pressure it only sticks the main guarantee (that is, at least once delivery).

3) Most problems involving a message broker are fine with "fair" ordering, that is, we are not going to deliver messages in random order. Even if there is some clock difference between nodes (for sure there is), in case multiple nodes are generating messages for the same queue, the queue of certain nodes with clocks more "in the past" may have under high traffic some millisecond of delay, because queues are modeled with skiplists, so messages are inserted in the right place when migrated from one node to another because of the auto-federation feature. When no message migration is involved, messages are delivered exactly in order, but the order is even in this case violated at some point because Disque re-deliver messages automatically if not acknowledged, which is a violation of ordering per se.
As far as I remember, the term "Net-cafe Refugee" was already common in early 2000s, but I feel that Japan hasn't done much to reduce the number of them (in a good way). And we were too busy paying attention to more sensational things.

As a Japanese citizen, I welcome these reports. It's repeatedly shown that we have no self-correction ability, and I think being exposed and embarrassed in front of the world is one of few effective ways to change this society. We need more of this.
All encryption runs clientside. The whole point of end-to-end is that you don't have to care about who the message passes through.

Your actual worries at this point are the key exchange (impersonation) and extension distribution.

The first is very hard to get right without alienating a large number of potential users, the second seems perfectly possible to have verified but seems like it's going to require some kind of changes in the Chrome extension system.
Exactly, imagine you use your message broker in order to coordinate a web app that needs to apply effects to photos in a web interface. It is definitely a good idea that users arriving before are served before, but violating this by a couple of milliseconds is not going to change the experience.
