That's not what I meant. If you block the supercomputer center from buying Xeons directly, then seeing who else places orders to take up the slack for the project tells you something valuable about who has relationships with the Chinese defense establishment. It's not that we care about controlling access to Xeons, which are easy enough to buy, but that we'd like to understand Chinese defense procurement supply chains to a greater degree than we do.

"Don't save a negative word..." -- what about the C-Suite that gets off on humiliating people? I have mixed feelings on this advice because it seems highly selfish when you consider that someone else will suffer in your place. Would the world not be better if more people took a stand against the inept and abusive? Of course, this is highly subjective and you have to be honest about the reason you are leaving. Is it just a personal problem, or are other people being wronged -- if other people, consider taking a stand.
You are of course correct, I should not have written economic theories when I really mean real-world economics. And I of course neither doubt that self-interests can be aligned with the interests of society nor that people realize that self-interests are not necessarily aligned with the interests of society.

But when you look at the real world rational actors is often not much more than an euphemism for greedy actors. Exceptions not withstanding. While real-world capitalism without doubt enabled an enormous gain of total wealth that is hard to imagine in more fair - or whatever you want to call it - economic systems I see no way that you could argue that it was the best option at least for the last couple of decades or that we should or even could go on in the same way.

I wonder if this is more of a higher education ecosystem problem of survival.

Smart Universities know the winds of change are coming. Up until recently, Ivy League educations acted as a "proxy" of future success to employers in the industrialized world.

Once more short-term apprenticeship-type learning start getting "accredited" (hack reactor, Udemy, etc.) and talent recruiters adopt the new reality - the traditional University will begin to become irrelevant.

Their only hope to survive is to make surefire bets on privileged background applicants who will become alumni gifters to keep the veiled Ponzi scheme going.

An assertion can be made that these types of candidates following a rote program for their life since birth may have wrote about how they want to change the world in their applications (or hired somebody else to write them). But, this very same background created an entity that no longer can think creatively and keeps following the path. Some awaken. Most do not.

There is a strong argument that transformational leaders who truly change the world and are not good at what "school" says what we should be good at, and don't think about education in this way. For example, many of these folks surely would not have been accepted at the Ivy Leagues: ( http://www.onlinecollege.org/2010/02/16/50-famously-successf... )
If they're selling airline seats for people, then crazily enough, a person should be able to fit in that seat.

If you're really arguing for a finer accounting of resources, then let the cost be strictly linear. Lets say a base $150 ticket is a 32 inch pitch. Then an additional 2 inches should cost $9.38 extra, available through the exact same sales channels. And if the airline would like to play the game with your width or weight as well, then they either need to calculate based on area or specify how that $150 is divided up for the linear combination.

But ultimately the airlines' business is just like ISP's "bandwidth caps" - when limits are set low and overages are at a much higher rate than the common, then it's clear that the business model is based around gouging arbitrary people rather than honest appraisal.

(BTW, I've found airplane armrests do indeed swing up, you just have to pull harder than you'd expect to. This is really only useful on the aisle or if you've an empty seat next to you.)

I've done some emacs building on Windows before, and I think it's more to do with all the dependencies.

There are so many of precompiled dependencies available for 32-bit, but last time I checked, it's not the case for 64-bit, so you have to resort to compiling those dependencies as well. Though this situation may now be better, but that was major issues when I looked into 64-bit before.
A lot. Definitely a similar set of code inspections/quick-fixes and navigation actions. Not sure about the set of refactorings and context actions (intention actions in their terms) but based on history of IntelliJ IDEA based products that CLion is, I think they won't disappoint in this regard, too.

What is interesting is not so much that Rust has shared-memory concurrency (BTW, isn't lthread a M:N threading library? Everything in the article is 1:1) but that it can make this statically safe. Perhaps I am missing something, but I see no evidence from your repository that lthread enforces any of the static safety guarantees discussed in the article, which is not surprising as many of them fundamentally depend on lifetimes and borrowing.

But the young generation is only 2mb so the number of gc pauses is significantly higher.

Obviously "we" have not agreed that that is the case.

> Its unreasonable to expect a publicly traded company to do anything other than chase profits the best way they can.

And that attitude is why we can't have nice things. That would be what's known as "enabling." How about, "It's unreasonable to expect a beer company to do anything other than sell as much alcohol as they can, however they can, to whomever they can." Or, "It's unreasonable to expect an oil company to do anything other than ship and sell as much oil as they can as cheaply as they can."

No. Companies, publicly traded or not, are not mindless automatons, inhumanly calculating the optimal methods to extract as much profit as possible, even though they do seem that way. Companies are comprised of people, people who are a part of the society in which their company does business. Therefore they have--should have--the responsibility to behave ethically to society, not merely their shareholders. And even besides that, shareholders' ultimate interests are not served if their companies behave in ways that are destructive to the societies in which they live.

I don't know where this idea that "companies are required or expected to make as much profit as legally possible" came from, but it's 1) untrue, and 2) morally and ethically wrong, regardless of #1. Please stop enabling this behavior by spreading this incorrect and just plain wrong idea.

I suggested that they should just be required to disclose the spacing of the seats because that sidesteps the whole stupid discussion about what size is appropriate for whatever definition of person happens to be on the table at the moment.

It is not an argument for a finer accounting of anything, it simply improves the ability of customers to comparison shop.

(I think it is a fine thing to figure out a way for tall people to be able to fly comfortably at more or less reasonable prices. It's a really bad idea to accomplish it by making every single seat large enough.)
I see a great public service business here ... become a consumer advocate and buy a huge number of domains for $9.95/year. Charge the trademark holders a few dollars above that per year and deprive these trolls of the huge fees (> $2,499 per year per domain for premium names) they were expecting (yes, I'd rather they made nothing too).

It should be pretty easy to automate the process. The down-side is that if you're Comcast (or one of the other common targets) you're probably going to have to live with a .sucks site. Try not to incite people into believing you suck so much!

As a matter of fact, how can we even know it does peer discovery in a distributed manner when we can't review the code?

Proprietary software is adequate for a lot of things, but when the main competitive advantages of your software is privacy and security, not being able to review the implementation makes it a non-starter for anyone who cares enough about privacy and security to want to use it over the competition.
Looking through the comments here, I can't help but feel like folks are missing the forest by looking at individual trees in the article.

It doesn't matter if you go into finance or washing cars - it's the mentality that you have toward life and others.

It is the short sightedness that we are born with, that breeds selfishness and leads us down the path of ignorance that the author laments. The idea of 'get mine, worry about the rest later' attitude. That's a child's attitude.

When there's unrest in the minds of parents, they worry and urge their children to go for the sure thing. That's ok. But do they remind their kids that once you land a good job and make a living, that there's more to it than that? That if you're going to do something, do it well? That if you're in a good place, be nice, be humble?

I don't know. I've seen the mass media apparatus grow more and more desperate, risk averse and pathetic to please their lords of 'More money, more! Or else there's somebody else in line who will make more and replace you!'

It's become so bad even the modern billionaires (Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and others) are devoting time to trying to fix the system.

We're going toward recognizing we have to be supportive of one another and Americans have poisoned their own well of compassion while fighting against the Soviet Union. 'Communism' is a bad word and as soon as you speak of doing something positive and broad for others without getting 10x returns on your investment, people associate it with communism and have a sour taste in their mouth.

There's no quick solution that I can see in sight but the idea of only doing things for profit has to go. Just stop, be nice, be humble, learn, give and receive. When you get sick, that money isn't going to buy you friends and family who sit by your side and care for you.
This is a bizarre and likely counterproductive way to try to find out, to say the least.
Yeah, I guess calling it a database makes it sound like a cloud MySQL service. But to be clear, it's not an EC2 analogue either. If there were demand for a distributed EC2, we could build one way better than Ethereum. Ethereum is necessarily slow because consensus must be reached on the data.

You wouldn't run an arbitrary program on Ethereum. You run programs on Ethereum to define the state transitions in a database the whole world can access and trust. If you're building a marketplace, for instance, then you're defining what it means when a customer buys something. Every customer and merchant who uses your system has proof of how their interactions will work, and it's impossible for anyone to try to cheat.

The database and its state transitions are what matters.
The main argument doesn't hold up to my mind.

It completely ignores the fact that ease of access to information is a greater determinant of what people learn than existence of information.

Yes, right now it is possible to find discontents of a brand or company by searching and reading through various forums and webpages of differing quality and structure.

However, if there was an easy mnemonic like "just add .sucks to the end of a name" to find the bad things about $NAME then the game would change. It'd be easier for people to organize and oppose companies than anything else imaginable.

And that makes a huge difference. Think of how hard it was to find programming help before stack overflow. This would be a much more potent and wide-ranging way to organize information, because it can still be difficult for a novice to understand what to search for on stack overflow. This would remove even that last bit of friction.

I'm not denying that .sucks is a bold and roguish move. I am asserting that it is an effective move.
I doubt you'll get many casual renters because of the friction of having to go out of your way to meet someone (that might not show up, or might show up late) for small amounts of cash. I also think not having a good conflict resolution plan (or insurance) in place is going to be a huge issue preventing people from using your marketplace. As it is now, I just wouldn't feel comfortable renting out my stuff without charging a near 100% deposit and as a rentee I wouldn't feel comfortable giving a deposit anywhere near that amount.

Some ideas:

1. Figure out a way that I can just drop off my stuff and you'll take care of renting it out for me, over and over again. I would love to make some extra cash for my stuff but I really don't want to spend the time and pain of scheduling, driving to meet the rentees, waiting for them to show up if they're running late, dealing with it when some of them invariably flake out at the last minute, ect... I would approach local consignment shops and see if they'd be interested in being intermediaries where all they have to do is act as dropoff/pickup locations for your customers. In exchange, you pay them a either percentage or a flat monthly rate.

2. An alternative might be a sort of rent it forward strategy, where instead of returning an item to the owner the rentee holds onto it until someone else rents it, and then passes it along to the next renter.

Of course, both of these ideas make it much harder to gauge whether the items are in approximately the same condition as they were when initially rented. And, at least for idea #1, you'd probably want to add a clause that any item not rented out within a month needs to be picked up, else the renter will be charged a storage fee.

3. Look on craigslist and ebay for professional sellers and ask if they'd be interested in renting out some of their stuff on your platform instead of selling it. That might be a good way to populate your inventory in various cities quickly while making them more money than they'd make by simply selling the stuff. You might also ask local thrift stores, flea market sellers, and consignment shops if there are any items they'd like to rent out on your marketplace.
No, I think math is very important. There are a few subjects I wish I was taught in high school though.

1.The scientific method(I can see young eyes rolling already though)
2. The Placebo effect
3. Basic statistics(with an emphasis on how adults often use statistics to deceive)
4. Basic course in Psychology(I don't recall if my high school had any psychology courses. In College, I had a great Psychology instructor. His course covered every thing I listed. When I look back at college, I can honestly state he changed the way I viewed to world. I remember thinking, I wish I had this information in HS. He was a great teacher.)
I'm fairly certain if the gov creates an asset class it has some responsibility to buy them back if they allow them to decrease in value by not enforcing the power of the asset class (limiting ridesharing). Tax payers will pay for it, but the tax payers will also get the benefit of the new system/ride sharing. No shocks here.
My suggestion is that if you're focused in Chicago, then market this product in...Chicago.

I'd like to rent a tent but I'm in Singapore now...and Boston soon.. So you'll never get a critical mass if it's just alot of people listing things for nobody else.

Focus on a region where you can build up something (i.e. Chicago) with renters and rentees, build buzz up in your region and then scale to other regions.
Everyone seems to talk about make files for generating complex c projects. What about make files used to store bash commands of medium complexity. In my python projects I have make clean-pyc, make test, for example. In my music folder I can make find-big-dirs, make find-non-mp3, etc

Advantages are it is easy to edit, cat, and the locality of the commands: I don't want to pollute my bashrc with commands that are useful only in a given context.

Well, people should not trust TLDs in the first place. So this is actually progress.
...as the post acknowledged.
I think the parent comment was implying that people will stop using services that end in ".io" or ".co" or, really, anything but ".com" because of the large number of shady websites on the off-brand TLDs.
Why does ICANN allow TLDs that are obviously trying to be extortionate? Locked nameservers? Blocked registration? Sunrise period for trademark holders? It's like they're just totally admitting that new TLDs are moronic and pointless and have absolutely nothing to do with increasing domain name space or providing value for the Internet community.
The $10/year option doesn't actually let you control the domain. It just turns it on for the registry's captive forum.
Along those same lines. It's been Grand Central in my house around 4 a.m. I can't trust my computer and am going to print the code. Scan the printed code. Have the code retyped on a new computer. Copy the code to a disk. Compare it against the original code on the original computer. Rinse, wash, repeat until the code matches. I live in an area I un-affectionately call "Spookville". Does anyone know of a service that does this? (I realize I can hire a temp.)

... Or people will just use Google for "foo sucks". Like they do for Facebook login. It doesn't sound remotely effective unless Google goes ahead and blesses the TLD and increases rankings for such domains. Seeing as how stupid these new TLDs are, it'd be rather bad of Google to do so.
