You might be interested in the Christian perspective here. This particular question of where and how to attach meaning to your life is not a new one. Solomon pondered many questions along these lines in the book Ecclesiastes. You could read the whole book in an hour or so (and I heartily recommend it). His conclusion? Everything you do in your entire life is meaningless! [0]

You can come to that same conclusion via multiple world views, by the way. What makes the Christian perspective unique is that it claims that ultimately, you as an individual are significant for reasons entirely apart from what you do in the span of your years on this planet. [1]

Which isn't to say the search for meaning in this life is fruitless. At the end of the day we all want to point to something we did that mattered. But Christians believe (and Ecclesiastes ultimately concludes) that true meaning is judged on a timescale greater than we're used to considering. [2]

Chute (YC W2012) - http://getchute.com - San Francisco, CA or Itapema, BR or REMOTE (US time zones)

Hiring full-stack engineers to build our marketing technology platform that is used by Nike, Condé Nast, Starbucks, Benefit, Vogue, ESPN, NBC, NYT among others, as well as many independent developers. We're working with the latest technologies and <3 open source. We analyze images and videos from Instagram, Twitter and Facebook to discover the best, most-interesting content for our customers and then enable them to use those images in their own marketing.

We're using Ruby/Rails/Sinatra, Node.js and Go on the backend (plus Python on the data science front). We're running on AWS, Postgres, Mongo, Elasticsearch, Redis, Storm. On the front-end we're using React/Flux/ES6 (transitioning from Backbone/Marionette).

For more info: http://getchute.com/jobs or email us: hiring [at] getchute [dot] com

I'm biased of course, but this is one of the most amazing things happening in San Francisco right now.
The problem with all of your examples is they still only sell one thing. Tesla now sells 2 things. That means sales, marketing team, strategy, support, for 2 things. Like, having 2 companies.
This reminds me of the story behind the "discovery" of cold fusion in the 80s. Sure, Pons & Fleischman may have thought they measured something, but in the end the whole effect could be attributed to careless experimental design and procedure.

Seeking Full time job. I just submitted my resignation yesterday.

Location: DC Metro area or Remote
Remote: Can do and love doing.
Relocate: Nope, can't do it.
Resume: 10+ years as a C#, MVC, Javascript, Database Full Stack Developer.

My current passion is C# and Im good at it. I built RDNation.com from the ground up, have led a small team of developers to success.

I resigned yesterday due to internal politics at my last company. Im the first to go, but wasn't going to be the last.

I do good work, put in extra hours when needed and have a nack for getting it done right the first time. I am confident, honest and speak my mind.
That part about Andreessen warning about "risks" was really just a response to Bill Gurley sounding the alarm in a WSJ story. Until that time if you followed Andreessen on Twitter, you'd see him talking down the idea of a tech bubble, mocking Janet Yellen for her warning about valuations in social media, etc. It was basically that or go against another prominent VC in a fight about valuations. And this is not like the rest of Wall Street, there's not going to be any Icahn vs. Ackman style fights in the VC world. Relationships matter too much.

But at least 10 years from now once the current cycle has come to an end Andreessen can point to that one time he was on the record as warning about "risks" when really his M.O until then was to talk up valuations.
It would be interesting to know how reproducible the reproducibility test turns out to be.

Edit: Just to expand a bit --

Suppose I flip a fair coin 100 times, and publish each result as its own god-given Truth. Now somebody comes along and questions my 100 Truths, so they flip a coin 100 times; The expectation value is that 50 of my Truths reproduce. Naturally there is a sigma (of about 10 I think), so the reproducibility study shows 50 ± 10.

The linked reproducibility study is right around expection - sigma. I realize that's numerology, but kinda funny. Nevertheless, my original point: The reproducibility study should be run several times to understand the random nature of the results. (Do the same studies reproduce their results? Or is it a different 50-ish results?)
Unless we actually started taxing carbon emissions, in which case you could see those numbers change very quickly. I'm not saying it's likely, but you can't assume your future payments for specific items will stay consistent years in the future.
Well, the natural world is full of non-linear and/or discontinuous responses, so it's not crazy if there's some sort of threshold at work.

But yeah, it's more likely there's some confusion in there.

How Java 9 and Project Jigsaw May Break Your Code
A lot of the high frequency trading code actually is very expensive to recreate, because it contains logic like (and I am paraphrasing here):

if(bookPressure > 0.7 and alpha23signal<0.2)
buyEurUsd()

where constants like 0.7 and 0.2 were arrived at from looking at actual trade activity (and order book fill rates) conducted by the firm over a period of a few months. That can be incredibly expensive and or impossible to "recreate" from scratch.

The exact original code is also useful if you wanted to write code to "detect" that some automated trading is being done by a Goldmans proprietary algorithm, and then anticipate what it's going to do next so you can trade ahead of it.
"Examples include the infamous FAT patent, patents on low-level concurrency primitives, and patents on synchronizing calendar clients."

You're right! Hawaii's utility is fighting against solar installations, and I see Tesla's energy solution coming in to push the uptake of solar installs in Hawaii.

You don't have to wait on the utility for their approval if you're not connected to them.
I mean that you need to run some client software, but it doesn't have to be the client software we're writing. Other people can implement ACME, for example in hosting provider infrastructure or in server software or other configurations. There could be an ACME client where the verification steps indicated to the user are performed manually rather than automatically. You could probably even speak ACME with curl, although quickly generating valid JSON objects that contain valid cryptographic signatures might be a bit challenging. :-)

It's also right that you can have multiple servers and only run the client on one of them, if you're willing to copy key material from one server to another.

Ah, and by the way, kudos for the home page. I felt that the service was very well explained.
No, it's not. The fact that the person being tortured isn't a US citizen doesn't make torture any less of a contemptible, barbaric act that is unfit for civilized society.

If basic human decency is not convincing, I suggest reading 18 U.S. Code § 2340A, which says

(a) Offense.— Whoever outside the United States commits or attempts to commit
torture shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than 20 years,
or both, and if death results to any person from conduct prohibited by this
subsection, shall be punished by death or imprisoned for any term of years or for life.

(b) Jurisdiction.— There is jurisdiction over the activity prohibited in subsection (a) if—
(1) the alleged offender is a national of the United States; or
(2) the alleged offender is present in the United States, irrespective of
the nationality of the victim or alleged offender.

The nationality of the victim doesn't matter.

I have a feeling Servo will finally make me give up Chrome. From what I've seen so far the performance is very impressive [1]. I just wonder if Elecrolysis will ever arrive.

Yes, actually. Every dollar that NASA spends has the potential to accomplish something for humanity. To my eye, even the vast potential benefits of this technology are more than washed out by the tremendously low probability that it will turn out to be real.

I absolutely do not want NASA to give money to every person who comes to their door claiming to have a recipe for a warp drive. There has to be some threshold of viability, or else all of the folks with home-brewed theories of everything who spam my inbox (I'm a theoretical physicist) could secure their own grants. I honestly have no idea what about this project put it over that threshold, but it seems to imply that the threshold is too low. I want NASA to spend some money on speculative ideas! But surely there are speculative ideas out there that don't require us to rewrite all the laws of physics. Let's fund those.

Planning for unreliable alternative exits is one of the fun aspects of cave diving: you virtually always exit by returning to your point of entrance, even if you're nominally closer to another means of egress, since you can't be certain that the "closer" exit is genuinely navigable. When diving a traverse between two points, the best practice involves diving as far as you can one way, leaving a marker, then entering from the other side on a second dive, evaluating your gas situation at the marker, and then either continuing or aborting the dive.
If (big IF) this turned out to be real, could we use these on helicopters instead of blades? Or are blades more efficient?
