The conflation of academia and science is starting to grate.
There's not enough tax base to support infrastructure like installing broadband, repairing and winter upkeep of roads and electric grid, fire stations, hospitals. Even businesses like nursing homes which one expects would benefit from lower property costs do not prosper due to lack of population and supportive medical services. Lower COL areas are net users of tax revenue from the country due to inefficiency, cities are net generators to the country.
Are those $2 Chinese modules really paying to license the patent?
To be personally Fabrice Bellard is the Leonardo da Vinci of technology with specialization in C.

This guy knows how to push the language's limits and he is the main reason I switched back to C for good.
But he used the word "I" too many times. Case closed. Throw your unread TAOCP at him!
At least in Sweden you can in principle ask any question you want, but you open yourself up to lawsuits if the person being interviewed feels they didn't get the job due to their answer (or refusal to answer) any question about family/politics/religion/sexuality etc. etc.
And nobody cares that they are giving their keywords to Keyword King? It's like the people using AppAnnie who don't realize they are giving away their revenue data for free so that AppAnnie can sell it to their competitors.
What does it mean to be under the jurisdiction of the pentagon? It's an office building. What jurisdiction does it have?
But that goes back to my original question of "Why is it bad?"

The point I'm trying to make is we shouldn't automatically assume something is bad just because our first instinct says so. In this case our first instinct reacts to misleading people because that's usually a bad thing. Usually it's used to hurt people.

But in the case of Scott Adams his sock puppet isn't hurting anyone. So it's neutral at best. So then the question is between neutral and acceptable.

For this to be acceptable it has to do some good. There are cases when lying does an overall good so the questions is whether this is one of those cases.

If you hold truth as a value than this does a societal good. Because many people would automatically dismiss a defense of Scott Adams ideas coming from Scott Adams. Those same people would listen to an anonymous person. So Scott Adams' sock puppet allows his ideas to get a fair hearing in the debate.

Which is why I don't see the evil in a famous person having a sock puppet

(I feel the need to say I AM NOT a Scott Adams sock puppet...just for the record)
I'm saying I think the fact that he defended himself is exactly what makes it moral. See here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2452634
Possibly something that became ThirdVoice. The concepts are very similar. Whatever it was, it had to be around in the 1996-1997 timeframe, and the sources I can find for ThirdVoice show it as starting in 1999. (Perhaps Beta?).

Thanks.
They didn't even have a webpage until about a couple of years ago.
What seems to have happened here:

An Egyptian telecom company, MCS Holdings, contracted with CNNIC, the Chinese national Internet authority, to obtain a CA=TRUE certificate for use in their internal enterprise proxy --- ostensibly for use only with MCS's own hostnames. Users of MCS traversed that proxy to get to Google, at which point the proxy dutifully generated a (fake) Google certificate to bypass TLS for that connection. Google noticed.

Internal enterprise MITM proxy sounds creepy but isn't. There's a bunch of good reasons why a company would need to decrypt TLS traffic leaving their own network.

But enterprises don't need delegated CA=TRUE certificates to accomplish this. They can just roll their own self-signed root CA=TRUE certificate and built it into their machines. There is no reason a CA should need to put the entire Internet at risk solely for the convenience of a single company's IT operations.

A Chicago company called Trustwave did something similar a few years back. Are they still an HTTPS CA?
Ah, that's perfect; the idea is validated. Time to start a competitor in other bio hubs. =)
I think the "diffuse harm" in the case of smoking weed in private is not talking about the act of smoking and who is or is not affected by the chemicals involved, etc.

It is rather looking at the overall picture of "What are the consequences of allowing weed to be bought/sold/grown. Is there harm in it?" The whole infrastructure, not just the end user.

I've seen some people suggest buying one album per month and then pirating everything else (or streaming everything else). Best of both worlds, sort of.
Echoes of 2008:

> The fate of the government's $700 billion financial bailout plan was thrown into doubt Monday as the House rejected the controversial measure.

> Stock markets reacted violently. Investors who had been counting on the rescue plan's passage sent the Dow Jones industrial average down well over 700 points. The stock gauge closed 778 points lower - nearly 7%.

That bailout passed with flying colors on the second vote.
I think less so. Most other food production is done in production lines with from what I've seen more separation between people. It's also highly automated where it can be, and in huge warehouses in industrial areas, not tiny cramped kitchens with poor ventilation in cities.
Appreciate it, and fixed. 1/10 to 1/15 is fair, I'm assuming a 20%-30% infection rate. Reducing those numbers to somewhere around 1/100. 1% of total US dying, essentially.

Google is good and makes good products, but they're too good at it, so you question their motives? How about a healthy dose of questioning their motives while enjoying the software that the provide?

You offer no suggestions as to why, what, is going to happen when, and how. You're just waving your hands around it the air going "ooooooogabooooga".

Google isn't innovating? Take a look at their 2010 to see what all they've been doing. 3 major releases of Chrome that make it the most technically impresive browser available, Android's further explosion, Chrome OS (literally just received a notificaiton from ChromeDeck running as a background app in Chrome). You're either not looking, or are looking with your eyes half closed. And an immediate downvote, cool!

At the other end of the spectrum from practicing "scales", there is the growing size and complexity of libraries and APIs. If you only scratch the surface, learn the minimal necessary, then go on to learning something else, then it's hard gain fluency.

On the other hand, you should only be repeating the same patterns so many times before you build something so you don't have to replace yourself again...

Maybe it's an 80/20 mix; mostly repetition, part novel content.
So.... it's basically useless for 90% of enterprise development?
LZHAM is looking great. But, Rich says that it takes a while to warm up. So, it's not great for separated small files. Separate small files is exactly what shared dictionary compression is great for.

No. Even nonprofits (see Wikipedia) have to follow strict rules about licensing images or face legal consequences. They also do a good job of policing this on-upload, something that a site like Wikifeed does not.

I'm sort of the opposite. Fiction is easier for audiobooks, for me.

Nonfiction is where I often miss a number or something (like a statistic) and I have to back up and re-listen to it, and also if the point is good, I want to make a note of it to refer back to later, and I can do that more easily with a Kindle book (by making a highlight), than by digging out a physical pen and transcribing.

If I miss something in a fictional audiobook I can usually infer from the context of the next few sentences, or it's just fiction anyway, no big deal if I miss a few little things in the massive story, chances are good I'm going to forget everything but the broad beats in a month or two anyway.
Fascinating.

My experience with MTurk suggests that Amazon has mostly abandoned the product. Amazon still uses it for product classification, but does not participate in the community forums (even on the official AWS MTurk developer forum). No new features have appeared in several years, and enhancement requests have fallen on deaf ears.

That said, MTurk still works. The API still does what its documentation claims. People still perform tasks. Payment still works.
My response to anyone is "I'm sorry, but I don't use WhatsApp or Instagram, and I rarely use Facebook because I don't trust them. You can reach me through X, Y, or Z."

If someone refuses to make an actual call, text me, email me, or use Signal, then clearly they don't respect me enough for me to need to communicate with them.
>"Most of the retail sector has moved from “stable” to “stressed,” with over 52% of restaurants in distress—but large groceries are doing well, with over 43% in stable territory."
> It's absurd to me to hear that people just needed to talk it out more openly! If only someone could nicely tell them the truth! As if all these people were discussing things in good faith and would listen to reality about their conspiracy theories. Must we really coddle and give a voice to dangerous conspiracy theorists that have steadily gotten more and more extreme and violent?

Blue-collar America (manufacturing, middle class) used to be a pretty stalwart blue supporting constituency. Now this group is welcoming populism and is pretty red. We've seen not just jobs but entire INDUSTRIES shipped abroad to the lowest bidder (it's cheaper to make something with slave labor, of course).

You might not care to "listen" but I think they have something interesting to talk about.
Riot cops are regularly outnumbered. They are trained to use less-lethals to outmanuever, disperse and kettle crowds like this. They had advance warning and could have dispersed the early crowds. It was just this past summer that Trump had a crowd near the White House dispersed with tear gas to give a speech where he held a Bible upside down.

But when the time came today, there were no tear gas or 40mm rounds, no LRAD. The security simply didn't show up when the expected crowd was percieved to be aligned with the police.

This is a consistent pattern throughout our law enforcement system.
> 6. Sideways shifts reset your career to zero - there is no such thing as treating development experience as fungable. You are only as good as your years in this particular slice of the industry and more often than not you are only as good as your years in this particular company.

This one has burned me a bunch of times in my career already and I'm not quite a decade in. I really want to find a corner of the industry I can focus on and gain momentum in my career but it's been challenging to do that.
Literally noone I know is on Telegram or Signal. Literally everyone is on WhatsApp. Pretty much noone I know cares about privacy, and they're all on Facebook anyway. It's gonna be really hard giving it up :-/
I once was trying to design a validation framework. I thought it should work this way. The other lead thought it should work that way. So I proposed we write some sample code for these APIs and show it to the team. TDD with pseudocode before any of us knew what TDD was.

Only, I didn’t like having two to chose from. Something told me three would be better. So we paired, I wrote mine, then hers, then just made another one up on the spot. Once we agreed they were complete and implementable, I shopped them to the team.

About 2/3rds preferred the made up one. Including me. So that’s what I implemented.
Speech has consequences. The snowflakes should stick to The Donald and Parler - where, by the way, I probably wouldn’t be able to speak publically.

Minor Nit: I cringe a bit every time a see or hear the use of "Chinese whispers" the US "Telephone" conveys the same message without the potential racial overtone. (I know in the commonwealth it's never used with intentional racial prejudice).
I spent a few hundred on a 6" telescope, and as others have said, you can't see much. I know a couple of others who have laid down thousands and been rewarded with blurry pictures of jupiter and saturn after a lot of work.

I sold my telescope and bought a microscope - now that was fun. You can see everything just like you see pictures of, worlds within a drop of water. Because microscopy is limited by how much you can see due to light wavelengths. Spending a few hundred gives you the best of anything in the world, if you wanted to go nuts, a thousand will give you something that will be as good as anything else around.
I don’t know about that. Most people won’t enjoy being on the road. Even I who has done a lot of long form travel for fun got sick of it once I had to constantly travel for work.
> (There are near-zero helium MRI machines, but there are also plenty of older machines in use out there.)

For the purpose of worrying about future supply, we probably want to compare to those. A balloon is a tiny waste compared to an MRI that vents helium willy-nilly, but it's a much larger waste compared to an MRI that gives half a care.
You can avoid having to deal with a fiat bank going insolvent by personally managing your money as cash stored under your mattress, too. But there are plenty of reasons you wouldn't want to do that.
> Darwin thought that human diversity could—and ought—to be described through race.

What is this based on? Darwin was openly critical of the prevalent theories of race and argued that we were all one species.

Speak for yourself. I sure as hell am aware of it.

If you want to talk about how ridiculously unaware you were about how good you have it, feel free. But please don't imply that I'm somehow equally dumb.

One question I have - were the high-tech wizards paid standard gsa rates?

Most people on HN know what a "goto" is. We're talking about attention on the HN front-page after all.

It is definitely plausible that they were rendering their spinning cube in real-time. A lot of people have written wolf3d-style raycasting engines for z80 (mostly z80-based TI graphing calculators, which are clocked between 6MHz and 15MHz. much faster than a TRS-80 to be fair). This guy even made a doom-style engine: http://benryves.com/journal/3739423 (see animated screenshot). The stuff the demoscene has done with z80 microcomputers can be even more impressive.
A few years ago I had a brain-numbingly monotonous "navigate here" then "click here" then "record output here" type job. Unfortunately, mine was on a military base and the "record output here" was an Access database. I tried to automate the whole process in Access, but military restrictions prevented me from automating most of the process.
The US Federal Government is good with playing six degrees of Kevin Bacon. I think somewhere in this mess is an alleged tie to NK. I also think they will eventually come out with more information when they are ready.

Just work with their system a little and you can usually get things taken care of.

It's pretty clear that the person who wrote the blog post has made multiple attempts to get help with issues from AT&T, both over the Internet and phone, and has found that it is just way too hard. Time is a limited resource.

The right solution is to switch ISPs. Unfortunately, in my market, the government only allows two ISPs [both with terrible customer service] to exist, and if the OP is in the US, that's probably the situation he's in, too.
Go here: https://secure.dslreports.com/forum/sbcdirect and post about your issue. You can get actual competent techs to look into your issues. Every time I've had issues with SBC/ATT, this forum has helped me with 0 frustration.
I shouldn't have to find the optimal path through their system to get things done.

Consider this a "hacking a non-computer system" challenge. It is a very useful skill even if you never send YC an application, since there are at least a few organizations which are isomorphic to AT&T customer service which are very difficult for you to opt out of using. (Your local department responsible for collecting taxes, for example.)
It isn't always 'plain and simple' to move to a different ISP. Except for very few parts of the country, most users do not have a choice of ISPs.

I hear this argument a lot, but I don't know these concepts well enough from haskell et al to fully understand it. Could you be more specific about this? Perhaps, provide a direct example?
How about: "If you have more git repos than developers, you're doing it wrong." - me
I took a university class on said book last year, held by one of the authors Prof. Tobias Nipkow.

Its a fascinating introduction into general program semantics, formal analyses and proofs for program properties.
During the lecture I struggled somewhat as I didn‘t really have sufficient background knowledge for it to run smoothly.
But all the concepts are supported by, well, concrete examples which you can immediately try to solve in Isabelle. So I definitely recommend giving it a go!

It was an eye-opening experience for me, especially since I never really looked into formal program analysis.
You would be going down to a smaller display, and losing i/o ports. Other than that, and a few apps still not optimized for AArch64, it's all positives.

What would you like your computer to be faster at? If you just want apps to open faster in general, go for it. If you want faster performance for Xcode or video editing, I'd say wait until the end of the year.
Right? That blog took a really weird turn- and so do these comments.

I have the 65" 4k model and I couldn't be happier. I bought it for 350 dollars from Wal-Mart's website. I even use it as my all-day monitor for work.
yeah exactly, thank you.

I found that the leo editor does this too but I believe you must used the gui to tangle/weave, I would prefer cli for automation.
Good comment, I think we're basically on the same page. I generally like Andrew Jackson, he was right about the banks and he balanced the budget, only U.S. President born poor, etc, but how he handled nullification was wrong in my book. Interesting that it's coming up again now with the medical marijuana thing... of course, not many people are sympathetic to the drug laws right now. I wonder what would happen if Texas declared income tax invalid in TX? Well, it'd be interesting at least...

I think we're on similar pages, probably a couple differences in interpretation but both aware that the official historybook version is lacking. Good discussion, cheers.

Well, from that perspective, an analog temperature sensor is flooding your ADC with infinite GB/s.

For further comparison: the fastest CPUs you can get nowadays have an aggregated memory bandwidth of ~ 90 GB/s using four lanes.

The first job I had was programming Motorola 6809 based Alarm monitoring systems in assembler. It was a painful process having to write everything to an EPROM for every change and debugging tools were non existent.

It was a steep learning curve when i first started but it's always been an area of programming i enjoy. Programming embedded systems was my first job and after working for many years developing on a wide range of systems and platforms i again find myself back working on embedded system again.
