Conspicuous consumption definitely works, regardless of what some individuals may (believe they) feel about it.

Take HN for example. Many well-known startup-y devs joke about those who visit here, like most do with Youtube commenters. After sheepishly mentioning "I sometimes find a useful article there..." the disdain for me becomes palpable and I no longer bring it up out of embarrassment.

Nevertheless, wearing the HN shirt is likely effective in some cultures (like a secret handshake). Even if in others it's a Mark of a Fool. And even if it brands you as a wannabee, bosses and investors may see you as a useful wannabee.

You get paid to do a CS PhD. I left industry to go back and do one - was only 26 but was married and settled with dependants and a mortgage and things. I Googled for and then cold emailed professors who did research I was interested in to get started.
I know this article is a bad source, but why do scientists and the press continue to use the provocative explanation of QM: "things don't exist unless you look at them at the quantum level."

According to QM, things don't exist until they are measured which is quite different (unless you are tied to an anthropomorphic interpretation of 'observer').

Since there is no formal definition of observer that in any way limits such to humans, an observer/measurer can in essence be any interacting particle in physics-- measurement is an interaction.

This specialist notion is so far removed from the lay-person's interpretation of an anthropomorphic observer creating reality wherever they look as to be nonsense. Especially since the intuition is likely to be applied at the non-quantum scale.

Systems of interacting particles are the norm, not the exception as our careful laboratory experiments are crafted to be.
That's the spirit. The earth is our dumbster, and let future technology short it out...
It is exactly taxes of others. There is no taxation on welfare technically speaking as you didn't create any value to have tax removed from.

One of the things that is explicitly allocated from my taxation is policing. In some states/counties in some countries, that doesn't necessarily prevent those who are receiving welfare from taking your property either: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_England_riots

Is a good idea because in the ocean will harm the main source of food of Japanese people, spreading food panic.

And because in the ocean will harm fishes, shellfishes, corals, other valuable forms of life; and there is no more than 50 living japanese right whales in all the planet.

And because the main species targeted by fisheries in all the planet earth is the peruvian anchovy. Since Fukushima we are seeing some strange death mass events of non human anchovy eaters like sea birds, seals and whales from Alaska to Peru. The cat's food tin that we open in our kitchens is made of peruvian anchovies flour. Your beloved pets will have more probabilities to die from cancer.

And because there are maybe thousands of cases of TEPCO shamelesly saying: 'oops, hundreds of liters of our radioactive waste are dumped to the sea again, how bad luck' since 2011. We simply can not expect them to act responsibly after repeatedly lied everybody in the past. They will use this easy way out to quickly dump anything they want to the water ("oops we forget again to classify and separate radioactive atoms from the water dumped. Is such an expensive process... how bad luck")

And because all oceans are connected by sea currents and radioactivity travelling with currents and migratory fishes will reach American coasts in a few weeks.

And because animals are made of water in a 60-95%. There is much more water than fat in a human. And rain is made of water also.

And because this is not a game of probabilities. To have only a chance of 1% of finding a tiger is not the same idea as "this tiger is 99% harmless".

It is in fact - it is called The BSD Hypervisor [1] and so far it exists only on FreeBSD, and this is where it was born. There are some forks to port it to other platforms (like Joyent's SmartOS) but they're closed and not out yet.

I consider technology awareness, competition and diversity a very good thing, therefore I think its important to mention FreeBSD in this case (and other BSD's too in other cases).

By the way, have you donated to FreeBSD [2] and OpenSSH [3] yet? ;)

HTML is not the problem.

Light Table doesn't have any issues with large files, and is built on essentially the same stack (Electron + native HTML/JS/CSS for Atom vs Electron + ClojureScript compiled HTML/JS/CSS for Light Table).

Visual Studio Code doesn't have any issues with large files, and is also built on web technologies (no source available but I assume some variant of Electron + TypeScript?).

The problem is somewhere in Atom itself.

Goodbye Sweden
It's clear Google has undertaken a massive task on defining a cohesive image and set of guidelines for the design of their products. In that sense it's probably better to have a flawed plan than no plan at all. However I would not be so fast on calling Material good design.

I might be alone on this but there's something on material design that irks me. I find it objectively pretty: colors, typography, everything with a defining image, related or just a fancy cartoon. That being said, every time I am faced with this kind of UI, my brain disconnects, I feel bored and unproductive, play a bit with the buttons never to touch it again. I do not need smiley faces and happy tones to keep me hooked to something. I just want a productive interface that gets my job done.

It is quite similar to these old children books we used to have with levers and unfolding parts inside the pages to discover more (let's say, the human body and the internal organs, or a lever that makes a bird wiggle). These were fun, sure, but a raw book with no illustrations at all ends up being the most efficient method to transfer information.

One day Google will have to figure out that their userbase are no longer kids amused by a square, a circle and a triangle.
They are definitely a lot better now than a few years ago. I think the design guidelines are actually better than almost any other OS/app guidelines I've seen so far. The design itself is subjective but I think it's very good.

Material Design is getting a lot of developer traction even outside Android, surely that is a sign of some success?

I find the design language great on mobile but a bit hard to get used to on desktop (still prefer Gmail to Inbox on desktop for instance)
This is also seen in many Eastern Europe places with flashy cars near crumbling post-WW2 soviet apartment buildings where obviously their (leased) car costs twice or more than any home there. Just because they show off their car for style or status.

I think that there is some trade-off between "amigo" and "close friend" barriers.

For some countries (Germany, Poland, ...) the initial contact is icy, but after breaking the ice, it's easy to get straightforward to confessions, biggest dreams etc.

For other (e.g. Spain, USA, ...) the initial contact is warm, but it is somehow harder to became close friends (or at least - it's hard to tell).

At least for a Pole, it may work different way for different people. I am curious if it is possible to get some objective data on it (any ideas?).

And, as a rare counterexamples, for me it was usually warm/easy for Italians and cold/hard for the French.

Politeness is yet another layer, but not the same as warmth.
A friend of mine comes from Iran, and the first time he went to a school meeting (his son was in the first or second grade) they offered sandwiches. He was extremely hungry, but stressed out, so he forgot that he was in a different culture. When they offered him a sandwich he politely turned them down, expecting them to try two more times.

I sat next to him and watched the whole thing and found it hilarious. Had to convince him he wouldn't seem extremely impolite if he appeared to change his mind a ask for a sandwich anyway.

Before he learnt to speak English very well, we went to a lindy hop course together. There he saw this beautiful woman (he was a widower), went up to her and said to her what must have been a literal translation of a very nice thing to say in farsi:

"You move and look like a very strong horse".

I showed wingman skills I never thought I had, and they are now happily married.
Having a traditional job is such a terrible experience. At the very least, it's terrible if you're not 100% in love with whatever company project you're working on.

I think there are some personality types that are suited to traditional jobs though, since most people don't share my concerns when I tell them how terrible it is to have a job. Because of this, I think more people like the author of this post should pursue non-traditional lines of work without feeling guilty. Perhaps our current economic set-up doesn't allow everyone to be happy, but more people could be happy than they currently are.

Lots of global warming deniers in Poland.

It seems it mostly depends on interests.

Global warming wouldn't really be bad for Poland, and CO2 tax is very bad for Polish economy, so there's more people choosing to belive it's all a scam.
False dichotomy. One does not have to be a rabid individualist in one's quest for freedom from wage slavery. There are many political arrangements, such as anarcho-syndicalism, which reject the traditional hiearchies of power but nonetheless enable people to work together to create civilization.

What I am talking about is rejecting the modes of power prevalent, not civilization entirely.

There are so many layers of abstraction in the Windows API

explains the increasing level of bloat in new versions of Windows.

Maybe it's not the presence of certain features, but rather the lack of others. I.e. the gatekeeping is not by virtue of having certain features, but of not having some "negative" ones?
I'm not sure how what you are saying relates to social mobility. Most European countries, but not Britain, have a lot more social mobility than the US: http://www.oecd.org/eco/public-finance/chapter%205%20gfg%202...

There are of course many different measures of social mobility so this may not be a generally accepted fact.

I feel that language dominates all other signals in Europe, which may be the reason why it doesn't make much sense to buy luxury goods to signal status.
Would there be any adverse effects on the world if people took note of this, causing the distribution of birthdays to change so that there was a significant spike during the May-July low-risk period?
Taxes are not only on creation of value, they are also largely derived from ownership of productive assets. That is the one I dispute, for I don't believe that a person naturally ought to accept ownership of all means of productive by those who came before and acquired these assets through whatever means.
Same thing in France, and I think in most parts of Europe.
"There even was a article linked here about USA student coming to germany for education this week. It said that most of them stay."

So Germany invested by subsidizing some (foreign) students and manages to benefit from the fruits of its own education investment - this is hardly the context I was talking about. I was talking about the case where a country like Germany educates for free its own citizens then they leave for greener pastures. The fact that your government managed to sell you the idea that everything is all right because at least some of the subsidized students (foreign and German) will stay is relevant only to your subjective contentment level. The overall picture can be judged pretty objectively.

"Turns out if you spend like 5 of your formative years at one place, you kind of build roots there."

These kind of people would probably rooted anywhere, in any condition, as its just a thing in their nature, not something to present as a resulting advantage of a given system. Maybe a small part them came to Germany because of something unique that they couldn't possibly find anywhere else, but I think that most likely the majority came to Germany just because of the prohibitive education costs in their own country. That's to say someone else's education system has a problem (by being unattractive in the current conditions) and that secures you incoming talent now. Just expecting others to continue having problems is not a very solid plan to rely on. I believe that it's possible to design the system a little bit better, where the students that have access to subsidized education may come to feel the education debts only when they try to emigrate (and take away the results of that subsidized education) or some other kind of solution to the leakage of public investment.
I can't really comment on the domain, but I did notice that you've called out Excel multiple times. I'm not sure if there are any concerns there but I would at least suggest capitalizing it where you use it. Might be even better to just use "spreadsheets" instead.
>I don't get this. How good of an indicator can it be if >3 is both upper and lower?

The same as any other indicator that has the same boundaries meaning different things on different "modes".

100% cpu is bad if it's from stalled program, but great if it's from a number-crunching app you created to utilize all cores.
I guess this is pronounced "X-hive" and "B-hive"?

Initially I thought it was "zive" and "bive", like "bive" was a foreign word from somewhere. Bhyve, the muse of unit tests!
>SpaceX is one example - all the investment banks have first rights on new issues and even waving a respectable amount at them doesn't help. And it's too difficult to get a feel for whether you are getting a "fair deal" on second market so to me it's not really a viable option even though the service is good in theory.
Awesome, and frustrating, at the same time!

> Visual Studio Code

Virtual lines in action.

1. Open VS Code with a file that extends below the bottom of your screen.

2. Press F12 to open the dev tools.

3. Use the magnifying glass to inspect the final visible line of code (it should be the predecessor sibling of <div class="contentWidgets">).

4. Scroll the text editor up and down and watch as the lines are added and removed from the HTML.

Edit: Looked at Atom and, yep, all the lines are kept in the HTML all the time. They seem to be chunked into "tiles" but those tiles always exist in the document.

Edit2: Actually it seems as though there only ever exist 3 tiles (partially obscured by top, fully visible, partially obscured by bottom) containing a dynamic list of lines. So this isn't why Atom is slow, arguably this is a better approach than appending/removing single lines at a time (which is what VSCode does).
Satellite broadband is likely to always be an order of magnitude more expensive than terrestrial. It also has a very limited capacity in any given area. I don't know if they're pursuing this, but at Teledesic, we looked at hybrid models where when demand got large enough in any given geographic area, you could use a blimp to serve customers in the existing spectrum with the same user terminals. So, it could prove very complimentary to Loon (assuming both actually work).
The instruction set design really deserves praise: people who haven't done assembly before report picking it up without too much trouble, and it manages to fit several opportunities for subtle tricks in the space of the 13 instructions.

The moment you realize that you can use JRO with a direction to control flow from another node, it feels like a genuine revelation while being immediately obvious and logical in hindsight.

No, bikes are almost never insured against theft, that's the person's own responsibility (lock and chain), and even then sometimes you're just out of luck. Having your bike stolen is one of the experiences every Dutchman has to go through. That's also why there's a huge secondhand / cheap bike trade, or why you won't see much expensive bikes in the big cities like that. And for the few kilometers (if that) between your house and a train station, you don't really need anything fancy either.

>"Whiteness" is absolutely physical/biological

Actually not so much. In late-19th early 20th century, Italian, Greek, Bulgarian, etc immigrants were decidely labeled as "non white" -- to the point of lynching when one of those "non whites" were e.g. found dating a "white girl" (white being mostly WASP).

Well, good luck. I'm just afraid the reality will kick in soon. Tech industry is by far not the worst way to get some food for fifty picnics; many others are much more soul-crushing, with less chance to retire early.
