I have no problems changing my mind when proved wrong, but there are facts that cannot be ignored. It is very difficult (and definitely not advisable) to stereotype individuals, but certain qualities can be easily attributed to groups of people. For example, I can say that the "typical swimmer" is not black, which shows no prejudice, just the statement of a fact. Likewise, I can also infer that the "typical" golfer is an upper-class/rich guy. Please bear in mind that I cannot say anything about a single individual, but there are certainly some common characteristics.

I apologize if I offended you in anyway, perhaps I have been just unlucky with my prior shallow and brief interactions with hunters.
You probably read the author's own translation into English, not an automatic one.
Much of our behavior in everyday life is driven by how we present ourselves to others.
It's probably because Apple sees itself as a luxury brand and thus its products are deserving of engraving. This is all about product positioning, even if you don't avail of the engraving, the fact that it is offered tells you something about it: that people love this brand/product so much that they choose engrave their names and messages on them.

That and Steve probably likes to give personalized gifts....
Blackberries are surprisingly popular with younger people, but I think that's largely a function of how cheap they are compared to other full-keyboard phones that aren't a pain to text with. You can easily get a BB free on contract, and they don't require a data plan. They may not remain popular as other smart phones move downmarket.
This article is interesting but a major issue is that the vast majority of the points (and the linked articles!) are not about psychedelics. They are about pharmacology, psychology, statistical significance, and science in general. The majority of the author's critiques can and are applied to a lot of other fields (he even takes a meta-review critical of nutrition and applies the logic to psychedelics).

His main three themes (author bias, statistical significance, double-blinding/scientific rigour/confounding) are not at all unique to research with psychedelics. If the author's point is that we should take all studies with a grain of salt then why focus on psychedelics? If psychedelics is really such a problem field then I would expect more evidence than a couple bad actors (the MAPS stuff sounds terrible!) and light issues in a few studies that were brought up in reviews before publication.

It seems the main point isn't research as much as the public's perception and hype (partially fueled by researchers to be fair). That's a good point and I'm totally against the psychedelics version of "weed cures cancer" bros. But, as the author points out, this isn't unique to psychedelics either! Ironically, I found the intro and most of the article to sound much more critical of the research than the conclusion really is.

Just because it isn't against the rules, doesn't mean it's on-topic. Also, it's not the topic itself that makes me upset, it's the quality of discussion that usually follows. Most of the people lose their minds when they start to talk about politics. On HN this happens with social justice issues instead.
I think people do sometimes poorly raise the efficiency point though, confusing efficiency with cost, and then you get huge digressions where people point out the obvious, that limited programs have a smaller total cost than universal ones.

(of course better efficiency does mean lower administrative costs, but any program should aim to have benefit spending swamp administrative costs)
Unlimited and unconditional money for banks that lost billions speculating and also paid billions of bonuses for the people speculating are not a capitalistic fairytale but reality.

I never heard, that speculators or banks had to pay back their bonuses or gains they earned in the good years, when they lost billions in other years.

I am still not sure, if the world would not have fared much better, when the billions and billions that where given to the banks to rescue them had been given to all the people (and thus stimulate the whole economy not only the bonus-people). The banks took the money and at least in Europe still don't lend the money to firms that need it. We have now at least 6 years after the finance shock of 2008, but at least in Europe the finance crisis is still not over!
Is this an official migration or a rolling snapshot?
Which brought up the question: why Prineville. ... low tax rates and friendly climate to business, etc.

In other words, whatever labor is needed is considered unskilled. You found a tech company in the Valley, NYC or Boston because, even though the costs are high, that's where you can attract the talent. When the quality of employees is a non-issue, you may as well place it in a place that's economically depressed, i.e. desperate.
I know what you mean. It doesn't get interesting until you start making deals and trades with the other players, especially when everyone agrees to relax the rules a little. The plotting starts to get messy as you try to figure out who is getting screwed worse in a given deal, or when you have to work out three-way trades.
Owning a label would be like Google buying CAA. They wouldn't know what to do with it. Amazing how many people chastise Google for killing acquisitions but seriously think they should represent people as crazy as artists?
> When you're teaching a class of 50+ students, your primary job is to lecture them. Two-way interaction is usually reserved for office hours.

It seems like this will be the first thing to go. Without participation, there's no advantage to attending the lecture over watching the recording. Professors already expect you to come to class having read the textbook; perhaps soon they'll expect you to come to class having watched the lecture online.
Hey, can you expand on the tools to be used for investigating a resource hog? Bit off topic, but I feel that my system crawls with Firefox or Chrome in spite of having 4 G of RAM. How do I go about investigating what is the actual bottleneck?

I suspect what you're talking about is something entirely different... because they are just jokey/giggly conversations with no real meaning (there are all sorts of social pressures that set your price, for example).

Have you, as an adult, considered your price? My suggestion is few people have.

Have a look at the Notifo field in your profile. Then do something like:

You will received notifications of replies -- to your comments, at least; I presume also to posts/threads that you start.

EDIT: I should add that there is an email notification option (as opposed to IM, SMS, or whatever). You may have to look a bit on the Notifo site to find it, IIRC.

while the particular effectiveness of a runtime's GC is determined by the VM, JS the language doesn't provide operators or types to represent manual memory management - so it's a pretty core feature of the language that whatever VM it runs on will use garbage collection (or at the very least transparent automatic memory management) to reclaim memory.
How about when someone thinks it's fun to hack the simplistic behavior and intelligence of an automated vehicle?

I'm absolutely positive that it's not going to be that long or that hard to find – opportunities – to fool the sensors and intelligence of any car built in the next several decades.

Sonic and GPS jammers and forgers, paining a few extra lines on an interstate, projecting images to fool image recognition... and on and on and on. Not to mention more traditional computer exploitation.

IMHO "The Onion" does it better and a half.
Right now they're actually just numbered in sequence (1, 2, 3). I have been playing around with it. Sorry for the confusion, I'll work on it!
I assumed the large numbers were dates, when they are actually times (13 = 1 pm, not the 13th). I'd either use 'am/pm' or add ':00' to each time to make this more apparent. Large numbers inside boxes is a similar pattern to calendars, which is why this can be confusing.
Actually, push and pull in the case aren't all that different. Using a reflector address, the system could send a single message to each server.

Ideally each server has more than one user and if a distributed system looks anything like our current email infrastructure, there are would only be a handful of large service providers, each with millions of users.

Of course, there might be thousands of followers also using smaller providers, but sending a few thousand emails is not a big deal (and not that much different from a few thousand providers pulling from a central hub).
I really like this idea and business. It has serious potential...and it's a service that simply does not exist in any shape in form at the current moment. This will change the world!
Sounds like a cult tbh - and I'm a mac fan.
What does it mean that the book is not scientific?

There's no scientific justification to its methodology. So we don't know that repeating particular phrases over and over can change one's mind or behavior in a meaningful way.

Beta blockers work for me. I took public speaking in college and passed with an A+, but, had to make an emergency visit to the shrink. If your a complete social phobic, as in my case, it may get worse where you avoid the meeting at the last minute from panic attacks. I went to a meeting the other day thinking I was going to talk with 1-2 people and ended up giving a lecture to 20+ people. Thank God I loaded up on Propanelol and a couple of Klonipin about 25 minutes before hand -- spoke 2 hours without a hitch.
Yeah but when you "throw the drugs out the window" they don't disappear.
Because they like these types of conflict narratives. It has a really good hook: Underdog vs Giant Corp who not long ago was everybody's favorite.
I think this is what they are eventually aiming for.
Half of the authors is affiliated with BioNTech of BioNTech/Pfizer-mRNA-vaccine-fame by the way.
Manufacturing is only half of it. The maintenance back side and parts market is all messed up too. So you not only have a car with some manufacturing issues, but you can't get parts or tools to fix those issues. Then there is the problem with Tesla remotely disabling features after resale.

This isn't exclusive to Tesla either. I'm really hating this trend towards "Unauthorized Bread" in the automotive sector.
The implication is that Engineers can manage an engineering product better than a career CEO. There are several examples of turnarounds such as AMD where technical CEO's delivered significant product and ultimately financial wins over organizations run by career managers.

Boeing's choice to pursue the Max vs. a new airframe was entirely motivated by perceived cost benefits and resulted in a flawed and delayed product. Had the decision makers had an aerospace background they may have made different decisions.
C-levels should be personally responsible for the decisions "made by the corp". They will need to obviously add checks and verification to what happens inside the company and could not claim anymore they "didn't know" because it would be explicit that their role is exactly to know and respond for it. Simple as that
To simulate my neighborhood, it needs some parked cars and trees that appear out of nowhere.
I know this is being completely facetious but paper. (Preferably acid-free.) And punch cards.

I doubt any current electronic mass storage medium which has that kind of longevity even under controlled conditions.

I also doubt that storage on traditional physical media is really practical for most things based on both storage density and error rates translating from physical to digital.
USTR is basically Boeing's private agent, even though that's a USA government office. That has cost USA consumers billions. Also we used to have an FAA we could trust, and now we don't. Also as sibling comment observes they get vast portions of "defense" spending.
GCM is a different type of construction, but the polynomial used there is explainable---it's the irreducible polynomial of the type x^128 + f(x) for which f(x) has the lowest degree (i.e., it's the lexicographically smallest irreducible GF(2) polynomial of degree 128). Any irreducible polynomial picked here would work as well, from a security point of view.

AES is a good case study, because you _cannot_ remove any operation without ending up with a broken cipher:

- If you remove AddRoundKey, there's no key getting mixed and you don't really have a block cipher in the first place;
- If you remove SubBytes, the entire thing becomes linear and elementary to break;
- If you remove ShiftRows, each column of the 4x4 state is independent of each other, and you could trivially distinguish the cipher from random by observing that only 32 bits change for any single byte change;
- If you remove MixColumns, you're removing most of the diffusion of the cipher, and once again it becomes much easier to break because there's no longer any mixing across bytes.

The order itself doesn't matter all that much. You can reorder AddRoundKey, ShiftRows, and Mixcolumns any way you like and you end up with the exact same cipher, since those are all linear operations. Ordering them differently with respect to SubBytes would have no meaningful security impact, but it serves no purpose to start with anything other than adding the key and applying SubBytes, since all the other linear stuff can be trivially canceled out by the attacker until the first nonlinear operation.

The general principle in AES-like ciphers is to iterate rounds of the shape `block = nonlinear_operation(block, key[i])` followed by `block = linear_operation(block)`. You will find many (many!) designs like this if you go looking, trying various choices of nonlinear and linear operations that guarantee various useful properties. In the case of AES, SubBytes guarantees that the differential probability going through any byte is upper bounded by 1/64; MixColumns guarantees that for any two distinct 4-byte inputs, between the input and output there are at the very least 5 changed bytes. When you mix these two together, with the help of ShiftRows you can show that useful differential trails are pretty much gone after 4 rounds.

Constructions like SHA-1 (or more precisely, the block cipher underlying SHA-1) do not generally have such clean rationales. You can view it as a Feistel-like cipher with a linear key schedule, so it's hardly a random mashing of operations, but how the particular sequence of operations of the round function is chosen is a bit of a trial and error process. The same applies to Salsa20, Chacha20, and most other ARX constructions.
Python has been getting worse with time.

I learned it in the 00's in highschool and it was a very nice small scripting language that you could just write dumb code which worked and you wrote C for where you needed performance.

For some reason people have pushed it everywhere and lost the spark it used to have.
And nifs can be made to do most anything you want to module-private data.

But if you're cheating on purity, there better be a darn good reason.
I haven't bothered to register yet, but after looking at the site I don't understand what it does. You say that it's a cron replacement. So is it a software package that you sell? For which platforms? Or is it some kind of SAAS that does something (like doing HTTP requests, or invoke something on my server using some unspecified protocol)?

I honestly don't have any idea what it does. All I know is that it does something in configurable intervals. I guess some additional info on the site would be helpful :)

From the end of the third paragraph in the post.
I recently stopped using Adblock (https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/gighmmpiobklfepj...) a month back when I landed on an interesting article (http://www.universetoday.com/81662/voyager-1-has-outdistance...) that obviously wasn't written in 5 minutes... and realized that I had just ripped off the author. They put in the time and energy to write this wonderful piece that informed me about something that was truly fascinating to me and they were going to get nothing in return. They have ad's on the site but my Adblock plugin had blocked it all. It felt nothing short of theft so I emailed them saying that if they ever needed any design help to give me a shout.

I was about to post a comment about "oh look, they overreached with the too-wide anti-terror laws and are using them on music pirate, quelle surprise," so it was useful to know that, except in name and org chart, this has nothing to do with homeland security (and any of the laws associated with the war on terror.) It's a crazy overreach and some Americans need to sort it out, but in some useful senses it has nothing to do with "homeland security".

> I'm curious what kinds of tasks require a binary with a 300 MB text size…

C++ lends itself to bloated binaries. Template instantiations are duplicated even for types where the instantiations could have identical code. Compilers have traditionally favored overly aggressive inlining over whole-program optimization.

Rust didn't solve the problem; it just duplicated the C++ approach, and made it worse by effectively compiling with the equivalent of C++ exceptions enabled. The next great systems language should target binary size and CPU frontend overhead.

Almost. The author can license their contributions with a more permissive license if they want (e.g. individual files can be MIT licensed) but the software as a whole must be licensed under the GPL.

I guess it boils down to whether the LICENSE file is meant to apply to the code in that repo or the software it produces when built. I would expect the latter, but I guess it's a bit ambiguous since we're having this discussion.

It's declining perhaps, yes, but it's not there yet. Because modern workloads shifted mostly towards gaming, crypto-mining and web browsers doesn't mean that general-purpose computers declined. It only means they haven't developed very fast, but that is thanks to Intel and Microsoft.

In my opinion, the OS needs to go all virtual+distributed for general-purpose to survive. Or else all hardware will become web browser accelerators. Even now all browsers already have their own hardware drivers for video.

I disagree, and strongly.

Considering a different perspective does not in any way require that you become a different person. You may end up doing so, but at that time, the entirety of who you are shifts, and not just some persona that you present on Twitter.
I have my own rule for headlines. You can almost universally swap out the word 'How' for 'That'. e.g. "That Going Back to Coding After 10 years Almost Crushed Me."
