I wonder if this is coming up now because of changes like removing porn from /r/all. They're introducing an age-rating system and filtering porn from /r/all, which was one of the intended purposes of /r/popular. [0]

reddit is trying to make their platform even more palatable to investors and advertisers. I just wish they were honest about it.

> But there's another aspect that's empowering. And these are people sharing stories of themselves, pictures of themselves. And we are perfectly supportive of that."

This is such a horseshit take I know he doesn't believe it. Porn is a commodity, and he's hosting one of the largest (for him, free) repositories of pornography that he leverages to try to make money. "Empowerment." please.

I really dislike the way reddit's leadership is trending. They're becoming less and less honest about why they're doing things. Take a look at this post full of corporate doublespeak nonsense. They're removing the option to disable their clickjacking and ad tracking and claiming it's intended to "reduce user confusion." [1]

Then you could have kept calling it A.
This is purely speculative but based on my own experience.

I firmly believe that real world performance is bottlenecked by cache before the slight difference in OoE/pipelines/speculation between Intel and AMD's CPUs. And the metric I really care about is the time it takes to read a cache line and the cache miss penalty. Those two fundamental pieces of the system are the ultimate bottleneck that developers can't deal with.

It's really easy to construct cases where one CPU beats another in either single or multithreaded performance. The hard thing to make a judgement on is how it looks in real world software, and the more cumulative benchmarks are more telling of the quality of the software you bench other than the CPU. Particularly because optimizing for cache is so difficult. It's trivial to hit the memory wall and decide that's it, but it's really hard to decide that your entire architecture was flawed, choice of language was wrong, choice of algorithm or data structure was wrong, etc, A/B two different implementations and pick one that's slightly faster. The ROI isn't there.

There's a philosophical point here though about the nature of "better" as it applies to the real world that makes my belief moot, because even if I'm right it when X% of software that people use runs Y% faster on a particular architecture it doesn't matter if it's because developers wrote and benched their code on that architecture. It's still "better."

All that said, I'm very happy with my Zen2 purchase.
Isn't it conceivable that the next social network will start as a place for the younguns to get away from their parents? If you were 15, would you rather be at a party with all your friends and everyone's parents and grandparents and aunts and weird cousins or at a party with just your friends?
Does anyone know which of the three payment providers (Paypal, Google Checkout, Amazon) end up charging the least, so as to maximize my amount that goes to the devs/charities/etc?
"blogger" doesn't mean what you think it does.
I can refute that claim: I went to Marine Corps bootcamp (PI SC), weighing approximately 127 lbs. I left (3 months later) weighing 142lbs - 15 lbs in 3 months. I think if I had gone on double rations I could have gained more.
It's an interesting question and I don't feel that article really does it justice.

I also have no idea why you would lump different source countries together when the difference between moving from the US to Aus and moving from India to Aus is so great.

In addition this is a question where the answer itself changes with time. Is there even any point looking at the current situation if the variability over time is very large.
Can we stop throwing around terms like "conspiracy theory" in an attempt to kill discussion?
You can do more than that per month, even if you've never participated in sports in your life - see my comment above: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2008164
I can't install new machine by chef because it can't fetch bash. Also there is no cache option I could find to prevent it in the future.
I would think it would be easy to figure out if a chip has RFID embedded, just run a scan. And why all the noise about a thief being stupid for stealing $1.5 million in chips with many of them unlikely to be cashable? This is Vegas where thieves will take the chance at robbing people / stores where they may get away with less than $100. I'm sure the guy would be happy to get away with even a few hundred. With that many chips he could probably make a few hundred by selling the 25K chips as souvenirs. ;)
I suppose this would be a valid time to link to this awesome site: http://www.cookingforengineers.com/

My dad's an electrical engineer; my mom busted a gut when I showed this to her :) Still one of my favorite recipe sites. And I love those recipe grids.
I seem to recall reading that at least in Atlantic City, casinos are required to have an entirely separate set (or maybe even 2 other sets) of high-value checks, that can be swapped in case of suspected counterfeiting. I would assume that the Bellagio has something similar in place, and that the casino is quietly getting all the high rollers to replace any checks that they had stored.

(not that there is much to read :-) )

It's really impressive :-)
I think it would be hard to narrow it down further - the problem has more to do with the fact that hackers don't want to bother with marketing and/or negotiating deals, myself included. I mean, the markets that would work are anything large enough to have several startups operating within it without being in competition with each other, but like I said - the problem is a bit more complicated than that. (I'm working on a book that is somewhat related to all of this, but I keep getting distracted with making things.)

If you really wanted it to work: In my opinion the best way for something like this to gain traction would be to start small and make it exclusive. Make yourself the gatekeeper to a startup marketing nirvana rather than driving a race to the bottom. Play matchmaker with hot startups (taking a commission of course) - perhaps one of the niche app hosts want to pair up with a popular new domain name generator, or maybe you can find the next set of games to sell as a bundle. It sounds like a lot of work (and I'm sure that it would be) but the fact is that startups already have too many ways to find each other - a much more valuable proposition is someone willing to do the legwork. If you are able to generate enough interest in what you're doing, automating it and making it public might become an option in the future.

tl;dr I don't think hackers understand the value of what you're suggesting, even though I think it's valuable. Create demand and prove your method first.
In Finland organ donations have been opt-out for a while now
> there's no reason to take it all with you

Theres no reason to force people to "donate" without bothering to talk to them or their families even once about it. The only reason is to trick them into donating by not telling them they'll be donating, knowing that a large part of them wouldn't donate if they had a fair choice. I think many people _do_ have strong feelings about their physical integrity and the physical integrity of their loved ones, especially in the case of not even being asked.

A silent, deadhearted, mandatory opt-in would be for me a major reason to immediately opt-out without any chance of reconsideration.
I attended two state Universities in Texas, and both had cheap licenses like you describe. I don't think it's so weird.
If they continue this way they would be gone in 6 years time. They have gone too far, and it is time to leave their platform.
Sedition, terrorism, and advocating the overthrow of the government ARE NOT PROTECTED SPEECH
Maybe you should take some time to understand what the first amendment guarantees. Call it censorship if you like, but it’s not a First Amendment issue.
It was made using Haskell.
Actually, I'll list below how the animation evolved. Long story short, I decided in the final variants to cast the RGB cube surface on the big square, then animating it.

I’m very skeptical about intelligence being as high as 80%, how do they remove environmental factors it seems almost impossible.
Twitter was very happy when after vote fraud in other countries it was helping to promote revolutions, several years ago. Section 230 specifically frees them from responsibility if they behave as a platform and opens to much more liability if they decide to filter out some speech.
US is one of the, if not the only, develop democratic nation that allows both Mail in voiting and Voting with out ID

In the EU most require Photo ID to vote, and Require Photo ID to obtain a mail in ballot (in the few nations that all mail in voiting)

US has some of the, if not the most lack voting requirements in OECD.
I'm not sure of the current state of industry in that area. I know minifab make a few things in that area, but the specifics escape me now, it's been a while since I saw them. I'm not aware of any lab on a chip devices that work outside of a regular lab.
Can you explain the society wide manipulation of information and what positive results can be obtained by allowing the kind of actions that are currently blocked by 230 which could be brought were it to be repealed.

Most users who want 230 repealed seem to believe that Facebook would have to give up moderation of their offensive comments/posts to be treated as a common carrier somehow to avoid liability. This is of course completely imaginary. Liability wouldn't be avoided by simply publishing everything.

Others assert that Facebook has had a shitty net effect on society and could be punished if not for 230. This is a little closer to reality but provides no conceptual framework for deciding what obligations Facebook has or how it meets them.

I don't believe that any reasonable solution starts with repealing 230 because fixing the internet one lawsuit at a time is horribly expensive, intractable, suffers from challenges as to jurisdiction and anonymity, unavailable to 90% of the planet.

Instead if you do not like the current state figure out how to articulate Facebooks obligations to society.
> It is even more likely that the user will use some serialization

Serialization is beyond the scope of what I am talking about. I am talking about reading bytes from a serial port.

> In that way, when using Async for network sockets, the SerialPortHW concept wouldnt be involved at all

But that is my whole point about Asio being split into smaller libraries such as Asio.Core, Asio.Network, and Asio.SerialPort. So you can use Asio.SerialPort without needing Asio.Network.

> in many occasions such extra async framework or the streams are not used.

You didn't read and write bytes to the serial port? What did you use it for?

> it would be in a different concept not included in the current project.

Its important for the library to implement the same "concepts"(or type requirements) for better consistency and composability(the only exception is iostreams which is horrible for both usability and implementations).
>Invest 20% into

Seems rather difficult with family.
Thanks, I found out about the patent 6 weeks after I posted the MVP, and the patent was dated 5 days after my post. I'm defaulting to coincidence, but I guess there's a possibility it isn't.

Edit to answer your first question this happened between Nov & Jan.
One of the things that proceed naturally from TCO is transforming general recursive functions into mutually recursive functions that call functions only when they return; i.e. transforming them into continuation-passing style (CPS), so that even general recursion does not encounter stack overflow.

Some FP compilers such as Guile compile to a CPS intermediate language, and the concept of CPS is known within people writing compilers and the FP community, but quite unheard of in the general programming community it seems.
this is incredible but I can't help but feel like we're skipping some important steps by working with plain text and bitmaps - "a collection of glasses sitting on a table" sometimes eyeglasses sometimes drinking glasses sometimes a weird amalgamation. and as long as we're OK with ambiguity in every layer are we really ever going to be able to meaningfully interrogate the reasons behind a particular output?
We've found much to like about GraphQL, but it's a minor annoyance that most GraphQL-based web services only accept POST requests (not also GET requests) and treat white-space in the query as meaningful. These little factors make it harder to run ad-hoc queries by curl/httpie/etc or in a web browser.

Will have to give this tool a try to see how well it fits for quick, little debugging of GraphQL endpoints.
Yea. It would be tough for Iran to develop weapons under those conditions, if they existed in reality. What would a smart leadership do to make it easier?

If only there was a deal that wrote down that the international agency needed to ask permission from Iran in advance for inspections of 'military sites'. Also explicitly allow Iran to keep researching enrichment so breakout time would be small. And make that any extra restrictions are temporary. After all, there was that deal with North Korea, and we see how it worked so well - for North Korea.

At least GPT-3 can generate texts much faster than a worker would need to create them manually.
Thanks. Not exactly the answer I wanted to hear, but still a useful one nonetheless. I suspect that a great many people in SV have a similar policy, even if they've never consciously thought about it before.

I've always had a similar one for the last ten years, and have only been reevaluating it recently as there's been this intersection of (too many days on the clock) ∩ (too many pages) ∩ (pages from factors beyond my control) ∩ (reduced leeway in time-to-respond). It does eventually become a problem.
To be fair, the parent was talking about "classical systems," not about the applicability of quantum-mechanical principles to macroscopic objects.
Ah, cool, that's good to know. Another piece of kit for the raspberry Pi, glad to hear it's relatively straightforward.
This is nonsense. It's not The Market™ or The System™. It turns out starving kids in Africa are of no value to anyone except to their parents, who have no means to provide commensurate to the child's value to them.

The blunt truth is that arbitrary lives are probably nearly valueless and certainly worth less than $1000. I have tested this hypothesis by describing GiveWell's mathematics to people at varying stages before they would spend money similar to that: in every case, people choose to spend the money rather than save arbitrary life.

I have tested this hypothesis on myself and it turns out that a pair of Zipp 606 carbon fibre wheels are worth way more to me than two African children.

The "moral notion of value" is a nonsensical concept invented to reinforce the notion of self-worth while not contributing to anything. Test it on yourself each time you spend: is a human life worth more to you than a hundred burritos? a set of car tyres? the higher trim on your car? The magic of this method is that it's memoryless. Irrespective of whether you give a million dollars a year or ten, the question applies to the next one thousand.

Your spending habits will prove it. No. Arbitrary life is valueless to you. And if you disagree, it should be easy to prove since GiveWell can save one arbitrary life per thousand dollars. Show me your spending and I will construct a way you could save a life by giving up non-essential parts of life.
Yikes. That definitely seems more complicated than it should be. I have not used Emscripten in this way before, I was going from my experience of passing custom flags like -fsanitize=address.

I was under the impression that Emscripten was just an alternative compiler binary, such that you could just use CC=emcc. Is that not the case?
I assume you are not a lawyer, nor have you ever had to deal with these issues in a legal setting. These clauses are precisely as enforceable as your (or your new employers) ability and interest to litigate, and exist as a way to intimidate. In this case they may not get invoked for that one guy who goes over to a competitor, but definitely could if, say, a competitor opens a similar facility and tries to recruit dozens of folks over.

Even higher up on the pay scale, I know at least a dozen folks who said "yeah, whatever, unenforceable" and then had to back out of new jobs when the lawyer said "you'll win, eventually, but it's gonna cost you a $5k retainer to start the process". Basically, unless that new employer is going to go to bat for you, a big company can bury you in legal fees in no time.

You are right that this is something that needs legislation. Considering the anti-labor client in DC, tho, it ain't gonna happen.
The problem not only resides on Facebook but to me all mainstream networks are selling out to the "ad revenue model". I may be speaking for myself but let's be honest the internet is wayyyy outdated. Most people can agree that after surfing CNN TMZ stopping by Mashable and Twitter the day is pretty much done with an occasional rinse and repeat. Where is the fun and innovation that the internet first brought to us in the early 90s.
Don't get me wrong, I like Python's data types very much. And it's certainly nice to have the ability to have more low-level control over how your array is stored.

I mean beauty in the sense of appreciating something. Just because your wife isn't a supermodel, doesn't mean you cannot find her beautiful and have a good marriage. Once you accept PHP for what it is, you find that there's a certain file-oriented style of coding that is perfectly suited to it, that embraces the unique type of PHP arrays, and that autoloads files when needed.

In PHP, you have an array that is basically associative, BUT which you can iterate in the same order that keys are added. This data structure is very unique and often lets you write less code, since you don't have to store the order separately. It also happens to map to JSON very well. Javascript has something like this too, except there is no guarantee that all browsers will implement properties in the same order, and many people on the internet complain about this sort of thing:

I have to say, I feel for those guys.
Say an Hermes handbag costs $1,000 to make. This is something you can afford. But it sells for $10,000. You can't afford this, so you'd never be in the market. By your reasoning, it should be okay for you to walk into an Hermes, grab a bag, and leave $1,000 on the counter, and walk out. Hermes shouldn't get to complain, right, because they're in exactly the same financial position they were in before. It has no impact on their bottom line to lose a sale to a customer who wouldn't have bought the product anyway, right?
That's thoroughly depressing. What does $100 a month translate to in terms of cost of living?
“If you allow someone to come into the market with no overhead, that's an unfair advantage” hmmm isn't that the whole point of markets? time for some creative destruction in car dealer land.
I feel your pain, but you're wrong. There are lots of languages that compile to JavaScript, so there's an even-more-plausible future where you can continue writing in your favorite server-side language.
Yes, It is per month and further traffic costs $0.09 / GB
Yes. It can be considered tampering with evidence in an "ongoing" operation. I too have thought of this for radar guns and laser speed guns. But most of these sensors know when they are being jammed and can actually result in the FCC finding you and fining you.
How is it quantifiable? Which is more intricate, Linux or Windows? I don't think that question is answerable in any way that's meaningful. If you ask anyone that question you get a lot of qualitative descriptions and opinions, nothing definitive.
We use FlowDock. I like it. Might want to take a look at Slack.
1. You need Go

2a. Type 'make'. It will build the binary and place it in bin/
2b. Use the go tool chain directly to build. Does the same thing as 2a.
is the solarwinds product windows only, or are unix hosts also exposed via mono or the like?
You can get the same convenience with the Signal/Whatsapp E2E type of app. All you need additionally is to keep a passphrase stored somewhere. As long as you do that you can have automatic backups that allow you to setup a new device without access to the old one and get all your history back, without losing the E2E encryption benefits by having unencrypted backups on a server somewhere. Signal UX for this is poor though.
100%. While diversifying is ideal many small businesses operate like this. That 50 million widget order might be the difference between scaling into a company that has budget to grow more consistently in the future or whether you continue in scarcity mode.
Just that outside this one we don't know of any new equilibrium, the assumption in parent post.

Not complaining.. but curious that this one feature gets so much visibility. Is it just because it is quite easy to understand?
Why leave the creators out? If this was the plan all along then sure maybe Sahil is evil. But the other way of seeing this is that he found ways to keep the product alive and it worked incredibly well (at least according to that post). If that’s the case that’s great for the users of the product no?
Counter-question: Does your operating system have all its files directly placed in "/"? Why not?

Human nature of thinking needs a context, therefore it makes sense to provide folders or categories to get an architectural structure into a huge amount of data that needs to be processed.

Additionally, if you need to manage a business account; having multiple accounts to balance the differences and to trace money expenses is common practice. The IRS or German Finanzamt (for example) won't even accept a simple budget sheet that lists all expenses.
It's important to remember that nearly all of these offices are in other buildings across the street.
Where I see a tiny bit of room for competition against e.g. JLCPCB, especially for a US company, is in rapid low quantity PCB fab and assembly.

The offshore fabs are rapidly dropping prices for PCBA, which is great, but if your parts aren't in their stock, it'll take a 20+ days while they wait to get it shipped in. It's surprising they don't seem to have good distribution nearby, but as far as I can tell, JLC will actual import things in from Mouser or Digikey, only to turn them around to you 24hr later.
