There's lack of proof to back up the 10k hours. I get that he has worked 15 years at prestigious companies but I have to take his word on it. Some aphorisms jelled with me but other's didn't, so we're again at a "he said; she said" impasse.

It's still difficult to export very unique tangibles and intangibles from Silicon Valley. The intangibles: a high tolerance for risk and a high degree of insatiable curiosity unfettered by local religious and cultural customs found elsewhere. And these both fostered at the universities. Tangibles: Capital as a result of the largest growth of wealth in human history & the only port in the United States to export more items than it imports - I'm referring to the port of Oakland. The light manufacturing sector is wholly responsible for this and is always underestimated. This sector is always the first to try on Silicon Valley innovations despite such innovations being readily available on the Internet. If anything, these souls leaving are merely setting up satellite bases for Silicon Valley's continued hegemony.

Yeah, created a bot that just trades the 1D MACD on Ethereum on a point & figure chart crossing up. Ridic how profitable this is. Proof is backtest on tradingview.

Which historians is he referring to here?

It is no real secret that as a discipline, military history is sometimes held in low regard by other historians.

The crux of his argument is that military history needs to be studied so that we can have less wars. He throws shade at other historians for looking down on military history. But as a total outside to this debate, who am I to trust?

Yeah, let's just ignore the 1.2 billion Muslims in the world that don't drink and assume they're untrustworthy. What a sophomoric article! الله اكبر

In different senses. Socrates prefers philosopher kings. Aristotle, a mixed polity, e.g. a government with checks and balances.

I'm truly baffled by this. Was it an attempt to display marketing prowess?

Great suggestion, and it also does fill in the chronological gaps in anyone's history of philosophy education. All those years ignored by uni aren't with this podcast. The companion books are excellent, too. Currently reading the one on Islamic medieval philosophy, which got us the word for algorithm.

How did this end up on the front page? Hacker News has always struck me as anti-philosophical and anti-literature.

This was one of the book that I read on my own after reading Bloom's "Closing of the American Mind."

My reading of the book was tinged with melancholy, for if virtue is a skill necessary for happiness, and if only a few can master a skill, then only a few can be happy.

I was 17 at the time and thought, "What an awful world that would give happiness to so few!"

Why node? 2 reasons: async which C# has too, and coding in just one language. And no, writing backend JavaScript doesn't mean you're better.

What a missed opportunity for developing new tech with all that capital! Brilliance should always be needed and welcomed.

You mention gatekeepers going away, but aren't the barriers to doing information warfare held by the same gatekeepers (the monied and the state)?

All the firing of brilliant coders at WeWork makes sense now, after reading that Adam is dyslexic. These coders were asked to make something awesome. Given that vague direction, some of the probably did TDD, and tried to show kanban or project management burn lists or something like that. These coders would say the awesome was in the code, and the summary of features for product spec. He should just read it. That probably triggered Adam to no end. And that's why in the end he just bought Meetup.com, but even that didn't work. He ran into the same problems again. Reading about Adam is like reading about Hitler. The German high command was suckered into thinking a hateful person who couldn't stand people more brilliant than him knew it all.

It's possible but all the tools, the author of the language notes, have a 50 year head start in English with English language assumptions baked in, e.g. reading left to right vs right to left. What Qlb shows me is how hardcoded ASCII is in hardware and software.
