Perhaps it should be renamed "Mr. Hankey escapes!" due to the resemblance. http://imgur.com/jzay8

Neat gameplay though.
(a) So, what, those are optics they use to bounce the beam around, so they can get 10km of laser beam on a 5m bench?

(b) I can't look at that picture without thinking of Agatha's dingbots from Girl Genius. http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20091005
Fantasy stock markets were fun back in school, this could be too. Edit with my only feedback: put a big, fat FAQ button somewhere. It took a little while to notice the tiny "learn more" text.

My link if anyone wants (if you use, we both get Ex$50k apparently): http://exchangel.co/r/38
You can still look for (the absence of) a referer while filtering out bots and crawlers. It's not perfect, but few people type in URLs manually, no if you're getting repeated requests from a human user with no referer, it's highly likely it was bookmarked.
Trivially, no.

The bill isn't exactly clear on my reading. But it's certainly not proposing the equivalent to a 'sales' tax. It would be a 1% tax on all sales, investments, trades, possibly even payments on outstanding debts or even transfers from one account to another owned by the same person. Again, the full extent isn't quite clear to me, but it's definitely far more broad than a traditional 'sales' tax or VAT. And frankly, that's the only way you could gather those amounts.
Math is built from the axioms. From a minimal set, building (provably accurate) complexity.

Empirical sciences try to deduce axioms from complex behaviors. From a maximal set, (apparently / hopefully accurate) reductions in complexity.

And of course there is a bit of both in each other. Sciences would be essentially valueless if they didn't use those reductions to predict unseen behavior, and there are different sets of mathematical axioms to represent different ways of looking at things / different forms of math.

Belief forms the bases of both, true, but once those basic beliefs are accepted, math is consistent. Most sciences are not, as they require belief that this experiment is accurate, as well as all previous ones it is based on, individually, as any may introduce error into the next and all accept that they cannot account for everything as they cannot observe everything. A mathematical proof does account for everything, relying only on the core axioms being accurate.
Did that really help? On my screen, your paragraph is about 10 characters longer than his, and about twice as opaque.

It's only opaque if you haven't read Kant; if I am going to have to explain Kant to you, it's going to take a hell of a lot more characters than the extra 10.

There are plenty of sets of rules that are inconsistent. The real question is why following the rules of arithmetic/primality never seems to lead to contradiction.

Why is that the question? I don't know of any mathematicians particularly interested in that question at all, actually.

So are these natural numbers that we perceive "real"? How do we perceive them?

Not, that is a more interesting question. My answer is already implied by what I wrote above (in Kantian terms). We don't perceive natural numbers with the senses. A number is not a physical thing in the world-- it is an abstraction. We've also invented a series of manipulations we can perform on these abstractions, much like we have invented the rules of chess. And, there are a lot of extremely interesting things that come out of our manipulating the abstractions according the the rules we've set up.

However: asking why the number 17 is prime, is like asking why a bishop can only move diagonally. The bishop moves diagonally because that's what a bishop does. Seventeen is prime because that's what prime means. We don't need recourse to the external world of empirical sense perception to answer these questions.

Was that less opaque?
I think the fact that this uses blogs to make the communication one-to-many, rather than connect individuals outside to individuals inside (one-to-one), is a crucial distinction.

When internet access becomes a human right, will prisoners ever be able to get it? This has become an issue since media companies wanted to cut individuals off for breaching copyright, with extensive collateral damage, but I think it has big implications for prisoners rights as well.
For the Airbus style of jobs perhaps you should consider Hamburg (similar costs, much smaller) because there you could find... Airbus. Not so international atmosphere, though, although the harbour is major local industry.

An added bonus is the local beach over the Elba :-)
Wow, the domain name rang a bell big time. Sure enough, I met the guy's cofounder/cousin at an informal gamedev meetup when he visited London a few years back. Haven't kept in touch, but good to see he's doing well. (hi Nicke!)
Holy shit.

I thought this was just me. I spend a lot of time churning on this.

I'm a little shell-shocked at the revelation that others feel this way too. I wish I had something more compelling to contribute than catharsis, but... wow, thanks for (re-)submitting this.
People get much more excited about "mysterious" future news than they do about facts being revealed. The former lends itself to speculation that is almost always widely more awesome than the actual reveal turns out to be.
Second this. The Teams application rarely works on my vanilla setup (MBP, latest OS). And every time you run it, it reinserts itself into your Login Items — even if you've previously removed it.

This is malware behavior, plain and simple.
Use it at the editor level instead of in CI and I can't see how it can cause you any problems at all. I could easily be missing something though?
It also has a built-in "black" profile, so it only takes one line of config to get it to play nicely with Black.

Put municipal authorities in charge of the worker coops in charge of the airbnbs and UN special agencies funded by Big Tech tax levies & UN contributions in charge of the not-for-profits in charge of the googles is the extent of the discussion in here.

I get it’s a book review of a “first pass” book but this is well trodden ground by techpol standards polished up for laymen with a “don’t plunder the global south!” wishy washy socialist bent.

For eg “how do we do content moderation then” it’s literally just: maybe a civil service will share content moderation software!
llvm had a C backend at one point, but my understanding is that it bitrotted and was removed. I think there's been some work to bring it back? Not 100% sure.
How about APNG?
For those who want to look into this in more depth, Conservative Logic by Fredkin and Toffoli [1] is a foundational paper exploring in detail how the principle of reversible computing impacts the underlying logic used for computation down to the logic gates. It is very readable.

[Edit: the video recommended by gbrown_ elsewhere in this thread (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26295043) refers to this paper and also shows how it is possible to move beyond the constraints introduced in it.]

I think trying to look at this through the lens of a single issue is doomed to fail. And frankly, the full scope is beyond what can be covered in a single HN discussion. Because there are a ton of intertwined issues, and many of them don’t have a neat line straight to “underperformance in schools”. It’s the “systemic” part of “systemic racism”.
yep, my bad
On Mars the Viking probes used rockets for controlled landing, so that likely also counts. Pathfinder just had one shot braking rockets.
Which was just IBM over-engineering. Token ring ran fine on cat5 with RJ45.
Add to the list:

- function annotations (allows runtime type checking via third party modules)

- asyncio (not as easy to use as Go's goroutines but still vastly superior to the multiprocessing module)
Seriously, why would you do that? Hasn't he seen Boardwalk Empire? You get rid of the book and keep it all in your head! That, and it's also common sense.
That's old school. I remember hearing that similar was done already during prohibition where they used some sort of glue in torpedo which would release a small buoy after few days so the lost booze could be found.
So the mobile bank-id is one way that you can use to identify yourself to various bank and government websites, most places still have multiple ways to sign on.

The mobile bank-id is still passcode-protected. The way it works is that whenever I want to sign on to one of these sites, I just enter my public personal id number. The app will then wake up, tell me that someone wants to identify as me on site X, and to enter my passcode if that's correct. If you steal my phone and don't have my passcodes, you can't do that. And I can revoke existing certificates if my phone gets stolen so they don't work even if you know my passcode.
>"On that day, a male and female agent started an argument in San Francisco's Glen Park public library, to get Ulbricht's attention. As soon as Ulbricht was distracted, another agent grabbed the open computer"

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how you defeat crypto. How could you even defend yourself against such a thing? The only thing that comes to mind is never working in public on a computer.
NuPIC is a Python / C++ open source project that implements hierarchical temporal memory (HTM) as described in the HTM White Paper.

Of course there is! It fragments the community, which means instead of pouring our efforts into making one really awesome framework (e.g. Ruby on Rails), every other developer is making their own.

Not that I think that's inherently bad, especially since web technology is constantly in flux, but you can't say that having tons of small frameworks has zero impact on anyone's life.
I got a bunch of spam phone calls today.
Oh no doubt, I'm just talking about general perception. The Economist hides its pseudiness better, behind the simple writing style (which I enjoy).
Why such a simple upgrade has to require AAS or another Mac?
So instead of contributing time and resources to awesome open source alternatives that already exist, we have yet another competing offering. Awesome.
There are large cross-cultural differences in groups seeking and getting diagnoses, so it could be the case that white middle-class boys are being over-diagnosed while lower-class black girls are almost certainly being hugely under-diagnosed.

In Europe acceptance of ADHD has lagged behind the US but you'd expect stronger institutional health-care systems to reduce cultural differences somewhat.
I'm on the outside here so I might be misreading, but are these internal policies explicitly written into their contracts, or are they secret, internal rules that Amazon unilaterally imposes after you're hired?

It sounds like they're breaking rules they never agreed to. Is it legal for Amazon to impose rules like that? Is this common across the industry? How do companies get away with it, is it just a US thing?
> Sure you shouldn't care about scaling at the beginning. But why should you start using a system that you already know won't scale in the future?

Because it's well supported and solid otherwise? There's a wealth of documentation, resources of many kinds, software built around it (debugging, tracing, UIs, etc.). Because there's a solid community available that can help you with your problems?

What alternative technology is there that scales better? I guess MySQL could be it, but doesn't MySQL also come with a ton of its own footguns?
It's more like complaining that the software your mechanic uses to tune your McLaren F1 only runs on specific hardware. [1] In this case the required platform is a lot easier to come by - there might be one shop in the world whose fleet includes Mac Pros but no MBPs; I can't imagine there are two - but the point remains that exotic hardware tends to come with exotic support and tooling requirements more or less as a matter of course.

Why not complain instead about the totally needless complexity of the Mac Pro case and its spacecraft-grade CNC manufacture? Slow, wasteful, expensive - and for what? Nothing in the world I can see, save to satisfy Jony Ive's apparent thing for metal with lots of tiny regular holes in it. I'm not here to kinkshame, but I'm glad dude has finally found a different venue for it.

I ve seen some write ups and basically the Allies go caught out by the Iraqis and almost got completely overrun.

As Wellington said ” It has been a damned serious business. It has been a damned nice thing – the nearest run thing you ever saw in your life.”
Good stuff here! Thinking along similar lines.. If there’s data ( cough / breathing recordings) think it’s worth a shot
In the Swedish community I live in they give all children a MacBook, and they've been doing this for many years.

Given that this is Sweden almost everyone already has internet access, and if you don't you can still go to the public library and get it (and borrow a computer if you want).
In Erlang (and Elixir) systems, turning unexpected errors into crashes is what you're supposed to do. Unfortunately, it's pretty easy for that to spiral into node shutdown/restarts, everybody ends up learning that one the hard way.

Supervision trees really do need to be considered, but what are you expected to do when the service discovery system is unreachable, broken, or filled with bad data? There's certainly options, giving up isn't necessarily the wrong one.
Well, for someone who left country between yours and OPs (Slovakia), which is in much better shape than Hungary now, and probably +-same as Poland (no hard numbers now), its kind of true. Mind you, EU is no saint but our countries benefit from it massively, and the drawbacks are comparably tiny.

There are nice, good and working things back home. But they are hugely overshadowed by amount of things that don't work as they should - social system, healthcare, high criminality, utter pervasive corruption on all levels. We also have huge issues with big roma population that all politicians gave up on long time ago. Nobody cares about them anymore, I'd say they are a ticking bomb.

On top of all that, many folks are xenophobic, if not outright racist. You can have wonderful deep kind relationship or encounters with strangers, but people can be proper selfish assholes on a level I haven't seen in the west. Politicians, always the worst scum of the given population, are a bad, corrupt joke through whole spectrum.

I could go on for hours. Why... I moved, just like millions others and didn't look back (not EU). Its nice to visit, but that's about it. I can see on most folks back home how not-really-happy they are, kinda OK is the norm.
They don't need to. Your IMEI and IMSI is enough to keep you tracked. Personal attribution doesn't require much third party publicly available data for most cases.
Reminds me of a quote I cannot locate, but will paraphrase: Any career, no matter how successful, will ultimately feel like a series of failures. That's not meant as a downer, but rather just that it's often hard to tell.

As to MFABT, the proper adjustment of that knob in a particular situation is difficult and is what expertise is all about.
Lawfully elected politians can become dictators and so on.
BS. Of course german cops carry guns on the street. IIRC, Walther P99 and/or HK P2000. In times of heightened threat level, the police cars carry HK MP5s in the trunk from what I heard from cop friends.

However, and that's the difference here, none of them EVER shot a weapon outside of training/shooting ranges. You don't even lose a bullet, because you have to file a report for every one that's missing from your arsenal. I've heard several german cops state that they're sure they're done with being a police officer if they would ever have to shoot someone.
Sounds like you're stuck in a very outdated mindset.
Mark Thompson, CEO of NYT has an estimated net worth of about 10-30 million USD according to a few sites on the Internet. That's not "did a unicorn IPO"-rich but it certainly doesn't align with "NYT hates the rich".
I can't stop grinning after reading this, school did suck but not as much as work does.

In recognition of Valentines Day, I will make the analogy: Remembering that school was good is like romantic couples who break up only to later in life get back together but just long enough to remember why they broke up the first time.

Or

School is the "cruel mistress" of childhood memories.

Happy VD everyone :P
Even though I recognize all the things he says about school, I mostly liked it. Yes, they teach stuff slowly, but you are free to move ahead yourself, right? And yes you need to be babysat, but it was mostly socializing with peers.

One thing that struck me while reading this was the influence of American culture. You often see school depicted as a sort of weird jungle with jocks-vs-nerds dynamics coming from America. Some of the kids at my international school emulated that and it wasn't pleasant, but I got over that eventually as well.

In general, most people I know across cultures think back fondly to their school days, minus Americans. My American friends are the ones most likely to point out the things Ian mentions. The jumping through hoops, wastes of time, the production of wage slaves.
The article leaves out the cases where the parents at home are maybe disfunctional in parenting and school is maybe really the better place for the children. Other than that I have the same experience, besides friends school time sucked. My English teacher told me I never will learn a foreign language since I’m interested in music (I still don’t understand this reasoning). One of my music teachers didn’t think everything outside classical music is worth studying. My physics teacher made me memorize formulas instead of understanding relationships. At university I barely remembered linear algebra from school and had to learn it again. And since I’m from Germany my Computer Science at school was optional and ended with the blink Tag and marquee in JS. I had to learn programming from books from the library which had a lot of outdated books on basic...
I hated most of my schooling and I have no illusions about that. But the OP has a kind of reverse nostalgia which is just as deceiving as it's positive counterpart. Many people enjoyed school. Some people had better or worse school cultures. My kids school is like a Hippy paradise compared to what I experienced and of course they like it and miss it.
I went to a brutal school not brutal as in you got yelled at by teachers brutal but left for dead in corridors after 10 on 1 fights that the staff allowed to happen brutal. And honestly, when I got suspended from school I normally would rather have had been at school. Even with all the stuff going on it was normally less boring that being at home. True boredom seems to be one of the things people want to avoid the most. Kids wanting to go to school to learn rather than sit in the house with their parents doing the same ole thing makes sense.
ok but the real question for everyone here is do y’all put your leggings in your sock drawer or with your bras/underwear
If you have a robotic job, you need to learn something less robotic to not be replaced by a robot.

And people need to stop with the basic income ridiculousness. No one is there yet. Giving people money doesn't mean they will better themselves with it. Uniform high quality education and healthcare are what lifts a community of people up. Why do schools get funding based on the taxes of the local neighborhood? Why is even extreme emergency healthcare so privatized? Why is it that basic financial knowledge is not taught in schools? Why is college so expensive and the preparation for a career so poor by comparison?

There are big problems that come before basic income.
Can you book Uber cars using their website on your desktop?
If the telemetry information is only internal to the application (generic UI interactions, no specific IDs or tags), I don't see how combining sources could de-anonymize it.
Hey - not related to your comment but wanted to get in touch. You left a note on a previous post of mine about wanting to simplify FTP. I'd love to work on this project and wanted to see if you'd be willing to connect so I can understand the problem better. Feel free to email me at kunal@mightydash.com, and thanks in advance!
Thanks - will update the prod recipe.

I saved hundreds of MB on the front-end images switching to alpine so I want a little alpine crazy :)
It is nonsense that we should accept any negative outcomes simply because they are natural. If we accepted this form of argument, we'd still have people dying from smallpox and polio, both of which are "natural". The whole point of technological civilization is to be the masters of our own fates and not to meekly accept whatever happens to be "natural".

Tell me what the thing does and why I should care with as few details as possible. Once I care, provide me a way to fill in the rest of the details.
The site looks good but seems to have a ton of stability issues. The order book keeps blanking out and when I tried to deposit some money, it froze. I think I'll just stick with Circle for now.
We also have a Real vacuum (the numatic, we have a George but same thing), as well as a dyson v7.

The dyson's are bagless but they have to be emptied all the time, and the maintenance is a lot more of a chore.

I think the ideal mix would be to have a cordless dyson but with sort of a base that empties into a bagged vacuum, similar to the robot vacs nowadays that empties themselves and have a bag that can be thrown away once a month.

Having to empty the dyson every 3 days sort of defeats the point of having a HEPA filter for allergy viewers.
power will always try to overflow its limits, no matter the size. the fed has a fairly limited mandate via the constitution, but federal politicians of all stripes are constantly grubbing for power, which is where the inefficiencies largely come from. the answer is not to focus on size, but how and why it's overflowing via power grabs. focusing on size leads to the wrong conclusions and the wrong responses. that's the point.
The issue is needing to be able to think in order to solve a problem, while driving, though.
Ah, Digikey is excellent. I've used McMaster-Carr for a while as a reference model when I'm writing catalogue/search UIs, nice to have another one to hand.
It's not that it's such a boost in productivity, more a boost in comfort. You stop switching from mouse to keyboard all the time.
No it hasn't remained "steady". You're quoting an average and claiming it is steady but there are periods where your savings would have not seen that growth and even seen negative return. Example analysis: http://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/...

I'm also not sure what you mean by "sufficient capital". You can by shares one at a time. You don't have to be wealthy to have access to growth in assets.
Racket is very easy to get going with, you just install it and use the IDE, which gives you the text editor/code area and REPL together like emacs/slime. Scheme is a smaller language. For example, there is no flet/labels, you just use (define) for nested functions. It's a good way to get going with a Lisp and see if you want to take on a heavier language like CL or Clojure.
