I'm a little confused here. Especially considering that the docker site lists supervisord explicitly with instructions on how to use it ....

It would for a certain class of hell. You won't get issues w/ resolving symbols in dynamic libs, but you _would_ open yourself to feature disparity across different apps that use similar libs. For example, if you've got a Client-A that uses libfoo feature X(v1), and Client-B that shipped w/ and links against libfoo feature X(v2), it might be frustrating -- this scenario is part of the promise (and responsibility) of shared libraries.

I've never heard anyone describe Hitler as a terrorist. Not the Soviets either. Even the US during the cold war terrorized their own population (only the communist part of it, but I'm sure IS is fine with the local population as long as it adheres to the IS ideology)

I think in order to be a terrorist, terror has to be your main political tool.
That's a very good point, but I'm pretty sure that in response to Pan Am flight 103 a lot of work was put into making cargo holds and containers able to withstand a decent sized blast.

[Edited after fact checking. I know I've seen a documentary on this, but I can't find any further info at the moment. I've probably also been added to some watch list based on my searches over the last half hour]
> Hacker News has a bias towards Google

There are multiple threads every single week that get hundreds of upvotes for criticizing Google. I think Hacker News is heterogeneous enough on this that "bias towards Google" is an overstatement.
What were you imagining for the "YC of art"?

I don't quite know :)

Seeing that comparison made me start wondering what that might be, something that perhaps wasn't revenue focused but operated towards some other metric, but for art. Perhaps finding, filtering, prepping artists, ... don't quite know.

And maybe there is a business model there, but I was more thinking along the lines of, "Y Combinator is to start-ups as [_______] is to art."
Because he can change your perception of the message a lot more narrating it than by writing it down (which is something cold). Or he's just lazy to type it.
it depends, I think, mostly on how long you keep your servers:
"Data center amortization periods run from 10 to 15 years while server amortizations are typically in the three year range. Servers are purchased 3 to 5 times during the life of a datacenter so, when amortized properly, they continue to dominate the cost equation."

Now, some people say 3 years, but some people say five or longer. The IRS says 5.

Personally, I also figure a 3 year life on servers, which puts my data center (power) costs at about the same as my hardware costs... but I probably pay a /whole lot/ more for data center space than Microsoft, as I buy that 'retail' and I imagine the difference in what we pay for hardware is rather smaller, as I self-assemble (at their scale, it's likely they are paying less for hardware than I am, too... but my operation is fairly efficient when it comes to hardware, and not very efficient at all when it comes to power.) so I can see how for someone who runs their own modern, efficient data center, and who replaces hardware every three years, hardware costs could dominate.

No, he is saying that if you understand recursive algorithms, you should be able to apply that reasoning to reason yourself out of a career on software, since it is a given that most developers will be forced out of engineering by a certain age

>I mean, it's all chemicals, right? It's chemicals all the way down.

That is a theory, not a scientific fact.

The current state of physics tells us we do not understand the fundamental nature of matter.

The current state of neuroscience tells us we do not understand the fundamental nature of consciousness either.

So saying "consciousness is just chemicals" is like saying "bankum is just gobledeygook"; the terms are not fully understood or defined on a fundamental level.
You mean OP didn't? Yes, that's probably standard PR to focus on strengths rather than competition.
A more useful system would take Opus-compressed data as input and feature-extract that, presumably faster than this thing. Bonus for not requiring a proprietary library like libsparse_inference.so.

Also, instead of encoding independent 40ms segments, it should be much better to encode 10ms segments given the previous 30ms.
> But it is extraordinarily difficult to have such a mastery of composition and understanding of what music is already familiar to people

The problem with this argument IMHO is that if it were true, one would in fact be able to just bang out hits by developing such mastery. But music hits get popular primarily on the basis of luck, survivor bias, branding, etc, not strictly based on artists' composition skills. There are plenty of very talented one-hit wonders, and even criticisms that popular music is "manufactured" (implying that it is relatively easy to just follow some vague formula of 4/4, II-V-I chord progressions and lyrics about love and end up with something that resembles a hit).

The main point of this discussion seems to be the old "don't concern yourself with material things"-spiel. And I agree with the general idea. I also agree that to succeed, you can't just follow rules of thumb blindly, you need to understand your field of work.

I don't really take issue with the content, but there's not much of it and he's not very efficient at communicating it.

Examples:
When trying to say "don't let the means become an end" he uses the 5-dollar word "intermediary", which typically means a person, instead of the simple "means". He says "my speech is fraught with peril" instead of "If you don't listen carefully you might misunderstand". He says "the solution isn't the solution, the problem is the solution" instead of "There is no arbitrary solution that's applicable to all problems".

He's really just paraphrasing common aphorisms with bigger words or wrapping them in koan-like phrasing. I think that's why he sounds appealing. He's telling us what we already know, but in grandiose terms.

Because prgmr is cheap and I wanted to keep costs under control from day one. :)

For example, there's no point in me paying for a nice control panel when I can set up Apache or nginx in no time on my own. I'm not a super sysadmin, but I know enough to quickly write a script that backs up code and database to Dropbox at regular intervals and so on. So paying for those extras? Not sure I see the point when you're not even covering hosting costs :)
I think there's a place for a Renaissance man; I fancy myself a fledgling. But the Renaissance man of yore was independently wealthy, or engaged in a profitable enterprise not accessible to the mundanes: the combination of useful breadth and interesting depth requires resources both temporal and monetary.

So to focus on a largely dull, specialized and marketable education in one's youth is no sin. It allows the development of that depth later on.

There is room for abstract math and creative writing and painting and essay writing, but they should be a side dish to the main course of "Getting Shit Done."

I'm having a similar issue, with links from our startup.
Sometimes folks have submitted links from us that probably aren't meant for the HN crowd, but we definitely also write a lot of stuff that might be useful to HN folks.
For example, someone submitted this blogpost of ours a couple of days ago - 5 reasons to quit your corporate job and join a startup:

http://feefighters.com/blog/5-reasons-to-leave-the-corporate...

Seemingly very relevant to HN, yet it was instantly marked [dead], and we have no idea why. I tried submitting it too, and the same thing happened.

Can someone explain? We're active members of the community, as is obvious from our posts/comments. Many of our feefighters posts have been on the front page for an extended period of time... see:

I've seen two in real life--one in a museum in Palo Alto, and another in a museum in Philomath, Oregon. Haven't ever seen one operate, though.
I'm glad these articles are being written and taken seriously. We definitely need to end the heresy of questioning the value of higher education. Students need to understand that debt is the opposite of freedom, and student loans are (as the article pointed out) much harder to escape than almost any other kind of debt.

That said, I'd like to see someone take on education in a stronger form. This particular article mocks an english teacher (another one asks who would spend $250,000 to read chaucer). Alrighty, agreed, not worth spending $250,000 to read Chaucer.

How about engineering at a highly regarded state supported institution? How about Computer Science at the University of Washington or Illinois? Or even at a private university? How about going pre-med (though Medicine is clearly somewhat positional, rejecting many applicants than would be capable of completing the program), or to law school (probably even more positional than medicine in determining the value of your degree).

Please understand, I'm not saying the answer is an obvious "yes" or "no" in any of these cases. If you're a good enough programmer to pass data structures at college that teaches the class for real, it could very well make sense to drop out and do YC or take that 100K startup from Thiel. But we do need to start distinguishing between different types of education: different majors, institutions, motivations.

Definitely time to move past asking whether it's worth spending $250k to study Chaucer. There's much more interesting material here.

As measured in calories it did not triple. But malnutrition went down a lot. And reduced malnutrition was one of the causes of rising IQ and physical stature over that time period.

I wrote a literature review about this [1] in 2015 I think. I mostly look at support from fMRI studies in Shogi players (Japanese chess). While it was a school assignment, I took it very seriously as I knew the review itself would have very serious implications on my personal life.

Summary:

Main question: how can one develop an effective intuition?

The development of an effective intuition relies on: a high validity environment, a high amount of practice and a high interoceptive awareness. The first two elements account for intuitive answers being right. The third element accounts for the gut feeling being felt by the person. As a result the brain changes, and integrates certain brain areas more into the default mode network. The idea that if one has high activation in a brain area a lot, then the structure will be changed.

High validity environment: rules are easily understandable and deterministic (think chess), or you have a lot of practice moments (think poker). Understanding psychological patients would be an example of a low validity environment.

I think that is a bad joke rather than a legitimate plan to pressurize the vehicle. The fact that it is coming from Elon's Twitter and not Tesla's is a big indicator in my opinion. Either way, it isn't a great sign that we can't tell for sure.
are you sure? how did you come to that conclusion. thanks for the info though, very glad to hear it.
There are better cancer survival statistics in the US because the US does more pointless cancer tests, which they charge you for, to perform more invasive cancer therapy, which they charge you for, with the end result that total life expectancy for dying from cancer is around 1 year longer in the US compared to Australia and Europe, while quality of life is hugely lower with many more years under treatment in the US vs Australia and Europe.

The question of 'is this treatment worth it' is never asked in the US because it obviously is since everyone who could tell you no will be paid if you say yes. In Europe and Australia the answer is 'it depends': is 1 extra year of puking your guts out worth 4 years of puking your guts out beforehand?
It's not like these people just pop in to be the prime minister of Australia for a brief four years then go back to pulling coffee shots at their low paying hospitallity jobs.

Thanks for asking this question! I don't have an answer for you, but I just want to say you're not alone. I'm 24 and after college, I decided to work for $big_company. Now I really think I should have worked for a startup instead. Perhaps do what rms said and form an early stage startup yourself or join someone else's.

Or try what friends of mine have told me, and just work on as many potential startup projects as you can in your free time until one of them becomes successful. A quote I saw recently: "Have multiple sticks in the fire because you never know which one is going to bring you luck." I think that's a good rule to live by.

P.S. If your interested, feel free to contact me if you want to work on something together.
The Chrome extensions permissioning system is not specific enough.

I don't really see why. Epic has to show harm to have standing for a lawsuit, so there was always going to be some planning in terms of "when do we do this so Apple shuts it down so we can sue".

Apple is also very good at PR. I don't think it's particularly malicious to try to get out ahead of Apple's PR department. The "Small Business Program" was a brilliant bit of PR on Apple's part, that does indeed try to undermine Epic's case from a public perception standpoint.

I'm not enthused that this is how things get done, but I take Epic's actions as a symptom of a flawed system rather than some kind of character flaw in the company.
That's because the EU does not see China as a threat to its geopolitical and economic hegemony the way the US does.

Good point. I believe I was thinking about 75. 65 crept in because I was also going to mention that at the beginning of the US Social Security program (1935), the assumption was no one lived much beyond 65.

We have all used it to watch “People Are Awesome” compilations and our favorite songs slowed down 800%, but how is anybody making money on YouTube?

> There is no excuse for enforcers of law to not know the law.

I wonder how often cops break the law because they actually don't know, or if they do know but also know they'll get away with it.

For example, police are still trying to arrest people for recording them, despite courts repeatedly upholding that citizens have a right to record police. Do cops actually don't know citizens have the right to record them, or are they just making threats that they know won't hold up because they know they can get away with the lie?
