One more anecdote about changing names of places. Turkey sometimes change names that has in fact Turkish origin according to an famous historian in Turkey.

I agree with the article Turkey has a long road ahead to reach an environment where cultural diversity is really desired. And it is upset that it lost many cultures already.

However, this article feels too hateful for me. I could read an article with similar arguments about how Armenians piled weapons that they get from Western countries and attacked villages behind frontline of war with Russians and Ottomans planned to migrate them, however there were illness and bandits because there was already an ongoing war. These are arguments but most of the time there is hate and generizations how bad and evil the other side is attached to these arguments... Really, is it going anywhere?

It is sad but I think It will be political material for use in the future too. The people of the world will watch us arguing childishly and they will say to themselves "oh look another middle east dispute, how interesting!"

Turkey and middle east has been home for many civilizations in its history and I hope people learn to celebrate all of the historical heritage and different cultures. I hope.

Hello! I'm a Product Manager with background in engineering. 1 Year in PM, 1.5 Year in internships across tech. I'm scrappy, consistent and hungry to learn. Planning on leaving current role because of too much reactive work that is totally distracting the roadmapped work all the time.
"All you need is a good cycling network that is properly maintained in the winter and people will use it."

If you're going to invest in infrastructure, I would think that investments in public transit will be more palatable to the taxpayers.
The type system and dispatch paradigm provide a powerful method of code and project organization, and facilitate a type of code reuse that you don’t get with Fortran: the ability to pull other people packages into my project and use their types and methods. That’s one thing.

EDIT: Also, having a REPL, and a nice one, is a big deal.
Which processes? Could you give some examples?
Yes and no.

Signal is not actually designed with mobility in mind (in fact I would argue, based on Moxie's 36C3 talks, it was designed to be and continues to be persistently kept anti-mobility). That fact is independent of it being open- or closed-source.

However, if the server is open-source, it opens the door for future mobility in the event of org change. If it's closed-source, you get what's currently happening with WhatsApp.

In actuality, if we had something federated, with mobility pre-baked in, having a closed-source server would be less of a security-risk (the gp's comments on only needing to trust the client would apply more strongly since mobility removes the power to change from server maintainers)

Basically:

- with multi-server clients (e.g. Matrix/OMEMO), you have no dependency on any orgs' server, so their being open-source is less relevant (provided the protocol remains open—this can still go wrong, e.g. with GChat/FBMessenger's use of XMPP).

- with single-server clients (Telegram/WhatsApp/Signal), you are dependent on a single server, so that server being open-source is important to ensure the community can make changes in the event of org change.
Cycling as transport, not bicycling as leisure.
We should make corporate income taxes progressive. Small businesses should pay little to no tax, megacorps should be taxed strongly enough to encourage spinning off other companies rather than the current strategy of "acquire everything to squelch competition and maximize power". This concentration of power diffuses responsibility and allows megacorps to do evil profitably: a dozen independent amazon subsidiaries would have a much harder time lobbying in lockstep and would likely compete against each other - improving prices for consumers and labor conditions. Free market maximalists should welcome this increased competition.

Let's tax the economy of scale and force companies who are not able to utilize economy of scale well to split into multiple smaller companies.
Commuting by car has and creates lots of problems but all of these are ignored because cars are normal and bikes aren't. That's the biggest problem.

For example, driving a car is necessary to be a full member of society in most places in the US. If you can't drive basic things like going to work, buying food, visiting family, seeing a doctor aren't possible or take 2-3x more time without a car. As a result people are very hesitant to take away people's licenses, even if they really shouldn't be driving.

> - Your commute is sufficiently short

This is the most important one. Most people would be happy biking 2mi/3.25km to work. I like biking a lot so I would bike up to 10mi/16km.

> - You have facilities to shower and dress at work

I commuted by bike for years in hot, humid climate without showering at work. Consider all of the remarkable achievements of humanity. You could figure out something that could work for your situation.

> - You don't have to bring kids or sizable cargo

Places where cycling is normal have various solutions for this.
I think this would be misleading once you dive deeper into particle physics. The strong interaction is really »the interaction mediated by gluons between color-charged things«.

• Gluons interact with gluons, without the need for quarks.

• Many (almost all) bound quark states are not found in nuclei, only uud (protons) and udd (neutrons) are. But there are also all the mesons (e.g. the pion), and a whole lot of other baryons (xis and sigmas and what have you) exist.

To put this into perspective, it feels a bit like calling electromagnetic interaction the »chemical interaction«, because chemistry is explained for the most part by the interaction of electrons. But that would leave out a lot of different ways matter can interact, like Bremsstrahlung, positrons, proton/proton repulsion, and all that.
It explains why their Android app was so incredibly slow and burned through so much battery power.
> That's great for you that you don't take offense to the comments, but you shouldn't belittle the fact that I do.

I'm sorry that I offended you, that was certainly not my intention. I'm puzzled as to how that got through, I thought I was careful in my tone. Fair enough.

> Obviously you're right in what you said, but I definitely do not see it falling under Hanlon's Razor

I said "expanded Hanlon's Razor" - meaning that I've found that many more things get misattributed as malice. In this case, the bad PHP dev meme[1] has permeated or sub-culture. That has happened already. It is done. Can't undo it. Can't take it back.

If you attribute usage of that meme to malice every time, and escalate it into bigotry in your head, you're "going to have a bad time" [sic]

I see where you're coming from, but calling discrimination & bigotry is one step too far in the opposite direction.

[1] And again, yes it is a bad meme, but it is actually about one-trick-pony noob devs. Not you, not me. Keep that in mind.
agreed, imagine how many great programmers could be made instead of bought & traded?
Well, they are so constrained of talent but then they treat you like shit. What gives?
It should be noted that "Tara Ploughman" is an anagram of "Not Paul Graham".
I don't see unemployed vaguely competent cs grads unless they are unwilling or unable to relocate.
No, Fortran is just plain fast. It's not just institutional inertia.

Luckily there are things like Julia now that may eventually change the landscape.
The test equipment required for cable testing is expensive. Entry level from Fluke is CableIQ at $1200. Fluke cable testers go up to about $45K.
Of course they do, but most won't get it. It's one of life's many crappy realities. There's a line from a song..."Where it ends...usually depends on where you start". There are of course exceptions, but this generally holds true.
> So, that's an example of applied math in US business! E.g., I was the only one around who still knew freshman calculus! And, heck, I'd never even taken freshman calculus, had studied it on my own and started with sophomore calculus!

I work for an extremely large defense contractor, and it never ceases to amaze me how many of my fellow engineers have forgotten the mathematics they were taught in high school! I know many of them took AP courses and learned calculus there, but they have completely and totally forgotten it.
How did it fail?
Philip writes for his regular readers, and that was almost certainly intentionally absurd.

He's an "if-this-then-that" sort of rhetoricist. If this absurd thing is considered socially acceptable, then obviously this even more absurd thing which logically follows should be acceptable too.

He's working on a book about the travails of family law. He quotes from the book and the research extensively. He's deeply opposed to the calamities that are legally imposed on non-custodial parents. This would be one more thing on that list.
Surprised there are no architects on the team - it looks pretty badly designed in terms of energy usage - an impermeable membrane designed to trap heat in. Even a solar attic fan-style ventilation system on the top that pulls hot air out and draws fresh air in from vents on the ground could do great wonders without having to install A/C, etc.
Yes! Apparently it's still being written.... and I NEED them to get to the CSS bits.
Video from Veritasium about the helicopter that talk with the team about this. He mentions that 2/3rds of the daily energy gathered is used for the purpose[1]

Other information about the tech; camera & landing, energy use for heating, flight in low pressure atmosphere, the system to actually land the thing, is also really interesting.

Is it wrong to be skeptical of stuff? We aren't all born with the innate knowledge that "voluntarily pedophilia harms children", it is not something that I personally agree with but surely you also at some point thought of something that the wider society would consider as disgusting, his blog just served as a place to put some random raw unprocessed thoughts that he had on news stories.
Institutional bias will always exist as long as humans create the institutions. Humans have bias. We are born, grow, and develop within the finite set of existing social clusters. Each one of us is just another node on the worldwide social graph.

We are all a node on the same graph, but every one of us is in a different section of the graph. Each of us has a "max flow" of influence that we can direct out of our node, into any given other node. Influence affects society, and it can be passed down within families. Families are small components of the social graph who can collude with each other. Assuming the "nodes" with the largest influence want to pass it to their heirs, then influence will naturally accumulate within families. The neighbors of max influencers need capacity to support the flow from the max influencers. Therefore the neighbors also have influence, and thus a component of the worldwide social graph becomes a concentrated subsection of wealth.

One way for families and their neighbors to protect influence is to form institutions. Literally, to institutionalize their influence. By definition, institutions are founded around a biased component of the social graph. It should be no surprise that they retain their structure across generations.

The only way to get a truly "fair" institution would be to seed it with a random subgraph of the entire worldwide population and hope that it could not only survive that heterogenity, but preserve it. We cannot force diversity into institutions like some bandaid solution to inequality. It needs to exist from the moment of creation, or else it never will.
It's not the only one hidden for me at least, it's hidden in the ordinary way, like most other people's replies. You're nothing special AFAICT.
You don't see anything wrong someone "hoping they were found guilty" even though they admit themselves that the company "probably didn't discriminate"?

If they're guilty, find them guilty. If they're not guilty, find them not guilty. Don't find someone guilty just to prove a point or advance your cause. That's not justice.
The article:

> The suit and the trial introduced a number of colorful phrases that were said to have been uttered to or about Ms. Pao. Most were heavily disputed by the defense, but they nevertheless served to define Kleiner as having refused to evolve since it was formed in the early 1970s.

The second sentence is a statement about the phrases that Ms. Paro alleges were uttered by employees of Kleiner Perkins. It is not a statement about Kleiner Perkins.
Could someone who downvoted this explain why?

Academic writing suffers, albeit to a lesser degree, from the same problem that has made legalese so annoying to read: the need for specificity.

Also, a need for references. Not just citations, but verbal references. What is jargon, after all, if not a specific and functional set of keywords and referents used in common by a given group or field? Jargon is efficient in academia. It is a common standard. If I write something in my field's jargon, people in that field will know what I'm talking about, and precisely what I'm talking about. This is more efficient, sadly, than trying to turn a clever phrase to describe a phenomenon there's already a perfectly dreadful word for.
We have automated proof checkers like CoQ. A proof machine would be designed to output proofs in a syntax that could be mechanically checked by an existing verifier.
Most comments here don't seem to see the context. It's done as companion or reply to the highly celebrated post "A half-hour to learn Rust", which was posted several times at HN and many people got overly excited how easy Rust is.

The takeaway is: The HN community is highly biased. So if you're looking for advice regarding technology choice, take it with a large grain of salt.
Not a hyperbole – I can provide proof if you'd like.
Yeah, it is always crazy when I see the notice saying the delivery is 10 stop away, and then look to see that the truck is maybe 20 houses down the street.
No, you can go against the military industrial complex, many do. You just can't commit a crime while doing so.

Not sure what you are getting at here. Getting Linux to run on the M1 already works... it's ARM Linux. It already runs on a VM on the M1 unmodified. I suspect we'll see Linux booting on M1 hardware within 6 months, likely less.

What is going to be a much bigger struggle is getting the drivers for all the various other bits of the architecture working properly. The GPU is the biggie, but networking drivers, power management, audio drivers... the DSP, etc etc.

All of the the things which are going to be difficult to get right on the M1 were an uphill battle on x86 as well. And no, Nvidia never provided documentation for their GPUs, it was a long time before we had good graphics support on Linux. Even audio drivers were a mess. Wifi modems were problematic well into the 2010s.

Most hardware makers still don't document hardware features, the good ones provide binary drivers, and plenty of others rely on known interfaces so they work with older drivers.
To put that in a less confrontational way: instead of designing features, and then providing options to maximize your audience, first pick an audience, then make software that will work perfectly for them without the need for options. Result: a smaller, more dedicated audience, versus an audience of "everyone" and a product that is as well-suited to an individual task as Microsoft Office.
Agreed. Even the White image was buried at the end of the list. I don't see this lasting too long.
This is why AT&T needs to start carrying more Android phones... :)
I did the same thing around 6 months ago, except I refined it into 2-phases.
I got a Core2Duo E7500 and overclocked it well with a CM Hyper212+ heatsink+fan, for my worskstation.

Spent the money saved on high quality Power supply, case and motherboard.

The next upgrade is a top-of-the-line Core2Quad when local distributors slash prices on those to dump their old stock.

I'm aware there is a trade-off in Electricity consumption

I've traveled extensively in Indochina and met people who lost their entire family to those 'uninteresting connections'. I'd love to see if you have the courage to say that to them.

I think the tl;dr of the article was that American policy has resulted in the most civilian deaths since 1945. No global conspiracy needed. Those number are out there for anyone who cares enough to research them.
The "sharing" that goes on in most scientific fields is not of the friendly kind. The race for publications (-> money, fame) is the root cause. Ethical values are a facade.
The only interesting thing I could think of would be to ponder what apps would be extremely useful for the white house to have.
Anything that doesn't require W+X would need an entire page allocated per closure, wouldn't it?
There was an interesting piece on the CBS Evening News, maybe this past Friday, about how some companies are bringing in older (50+) workers to great benefit. The only thing these people ask for is flexible schedules.
I wonder how long until rich parents are giving this to their kids who will "only" be 5'10" so they can be 6'2"?
Why pay an older software engineer a high rate for a wealth of experience when you can hire two graduates who won't make a 25 year old trust fund baby tech bro feel inadequate

The only good solution is for social media to be a neutral service provider open to all. It would destroy Facebook’s business model but that’s a good thing.
if someone set up a facebook page to promote killing you and everyone you love, and making your life hell, i think you would think differently.
Because all the abuse and conflict we see/saw within conventional TLDs surely becomes easier to handle within a single, centrally administered namespace?
Technically, I guess you could use this to compile a universal browser binary that would run on all platforms. However, this wouldn't solve any of the problems caused by Electron.
Hard agree!

Not recognizing how right TdR (and OBSD by extension) have been is a giant red flag to me. It would be a whole different deal if they didn't have years of track record showing their conservative approach was 100% justified.
I deployed one, it is good hardware, but the performance is pretty low, behind an rpi3.

The advantages of x86 aren't really realized because you only have serial port and run of the mill installers aren't all handling it well.

I'd only go for it for router purposes. no way you can run a re-encoder on it for media use.
Telegram hires excellent developers and was started by someone that had successfully run a company before. The clients for the different platforms in the case of telegram were developed by very small teams (1-2) of exceptional programmers.

- macOS client: https://github.com/overtake/TelegramSwift/graphs/contributor.... Written almost single handedly by one developer.

- Telegram Desktop: https://github.com/telegramdesktop/tdesktop/graphs/contribut.... Written almost single handedly by one developer, who also wrote almost all of the supporting Qt code.
"The TX-0, for Transistorized Experimental computer zero, but affectionately referred to as tixo (pronounced "tix oh"), was an early fully transistorized computer and contained a then-huge 64K of 18-bit words of magnetic core memory. Construction of the TX-0 began in 1955 and ended in 1956. It was used continually through the 1960s at MIT. The TX-0 incorporated around 3600 Philco high-frequency surface-barrier transistors, the first transistor suitable for high-speed computers. The TX-0 and its direct descendant, the original PDP-1, were platforms for pioneering computer research and the development of what would later be called computer 'hacker' culture."
I find it rather sad too that people revel in taking shots at him at every possible opportunity. He started this company at what 20-21? I am by no means a Facebook or Zuckerberg fanboy, but just for a second, put yourself in the guy's shoes. I doubt most kids in their 20s would be able to fit in those shoes. They would either be replaced by the board or melt under the pressure and cash out.

He's trying. He's doing it with passion. It's not easy. Yes, he has made bad decisions, some unethical choices. But in all honesty, I'm not sure either one of us wouldn't have screwed up in a position like that. Google essentially had three guys making the big decisions with Eric Schmidt to look over Larry and Sergey's shoulders. Facebook has essentially been Zuckerberg throughout.

Criticizing, laughing at, mocking - that is easy, people. Let's not be those guys.
Provide incentives for BP to use their tanker ships to collect oil that rises to the top instead of letting them be used for profit. (To do otherwise is to let BP pay their way out of the problem when they could fix the underlying issue.)

1. Come up with a fair method of dividing the environmental costs (US) and the opportunity costs (BP).

2. Make it clear via a speedy minimal bill in the senate that BP will be charged for the full environmental costs including cleanup.

Questions

1. Where are BP's closest tankers and what are they doing?
The question you are actually asking is when should we start paying for her poor choice.
What it feels is inconvenient.

God, the nerve of some people.
From Wiki: "In the cases in which they had entered failed logins, Mark tried to use them to access the Crimson members' Harvard email accounts. He successfully accessed two of them."

If this was buffer overflows, I might have looked the other way, but this is despicable! Perhaps if he hadn't avoided justice then, Facebook wouldn't be screwing with its users' privacy now.
Interesting thing is that it's possible for a degree to be a lot cheaper.

When people take a job that' "something they love" a lot of them will be prepared to earn less. Couldn't a similar principle apply where people studying "something they love" do it some place cheap and possibly less prestigious?
If the files are in a Virtualbox shared folder from the host OS, that performance is to be expected. Just google "Virtualbox shared folder performance."[1] If you're using Vagrant to manage the VM it's easy to work around this by switching the file share mechanism to nfs. If you're not using vagrant, you can do this manually too, or just move the files to a non-shared folder inside the VM.

[1] Scroll down to the graph at http://mitchellh.com/comparing-filesystem-performance-in-vir... to get an idea of how bad this is.
