I’ve seen the libertarian wave in HN. It was more prominent a few years ago. Posters here have seemed to evolve into the idea that basic income and a living wage aren’t just socialist ideas after all. I think there is growing recognition that current level of income inequality is not sustainable. It’s possible the pandemic has softened these beliefs as well. Which is to be expected. Major calamities tend to unify the people. It’s clear that the role of government is to protect us from existential risks. That actually fits with libertarian philosophy but they’d be hard pressed to admit it.

So when people say that rationalists and libertarians haven’t thought through the consequences this is what they mean.

You make an excellent counterpoint.

I think your comment also exposes an ambiguity in the phrase "support the status quo."

One meaning is to affirm the status quo as generally acceptable.

Another meaning is to (implicitly) decide that one particular aspect of the status quo falls below the cutoff line of what you have the time or energy to deal with in the moment.

I don't know if conflating the two intentionally is a common occurrence, but I can see how doing so could be used to incite outrage amongst uncritical thinkers.

I think so.

The author wrote "People who get heart disease are more likely to have high LDL cholesterol". Had she written "People who have high LDL cholesterol are more likely to get heart disease" then the argument would have been valid.
Productivity is a metric and the moment you use for _whatever_ will be gamed. This is just the natural course of things. The main problem is that productivity, when it comes to research, is a lousy metric. Eventually productivity will be linked to "the market", because that's what matters right?

Would Riemann frame that hypothesis had he been driven by "productivity" ? I wonder.

Hey guys,

I am Cristiano, founder and CEO at Wireshape. I'm coming in to join the conversation. I would love to hear from you if you have any questions or feedback.
I was a corporate sponsor of PyConUK [1] and PyData London and this mirrors my experience.

At the time, JPMorgan had around 4500 Python devs globally and many of the FX/Commodities/Credit/Rates trading systems were Python-based (Google for Athena or watch [2]).

I felt the bank had gained hugely from the Python community so it was only appropriate to give something back. Fortunately I had lots of support from my MD internally. Ultimately the budgets were controlled from New York and it took time for the approval discussion between London and New York to conclude.

We took sponsorship packages that included logo on banners, an intro during the opening keynote, a recruiting booth, and entry passes for 10 of our devs. The money paid to PyConUK was small in corporate terms, and certainly less than the cost of the time I and the recruiting lead invested in getting it going.

The net result was a good amount of exposure, lots of people saying "I didn't know JPMorgan used Python", two direct hires I think, and useful support for Python in the UK.

I'm no longer at JPMorgan but as long as my future employers benefit from my Python experience, I'll look for ways for them to give back to the community. If you are in the same position, please encourage your employer to do it too. (I'm happy to be quoted on the benefits; my email is in my profile here).

Let me give you one other potential where you not speaking up is a mistake.

Your boss knows you are a high performer and you are taking care of bugs and keeping it off his radar so s/he doesn't have to stress about it so he leaves you alone out of respect. He trusts you and knows you are capable and you don't need your hand held, hence your high ratings prior. He may not realize how much time has really passed because things you take up are just done and there isn't a concern and he's focused on other team members who are struggling or need more day to day help. It is possible you are reading into the situation what you fear rather then reality.

I'd suggest you call or send a quick email to your boss that isn't passive aggressive etc. But also do so to protect yourself so it is a fine line. I'd say something like, "Hey Boss, I've solved the last few defects x, y, and z and realized that we hadn't connected recently and wanted to take 5 minutes and just make sure I am doing the priorities you feel are most important." This way if he is building a case against you he'll have to respond in a way you know otherwise his case would become weaker. The fact you let it go on for months is already a weakness, but not beyond fixing. If you ignore, you will leave either by their action or your own and you'll be bitter which can poison your new job search, so do your part and then at least you feel good even if you leave as you'll know you did everything you could.
To say that a language is merely a means of communication is like saying that paint is only needed for painting fences and walls.
No support for default implementation methods.
No support for generics in protocol.

There might be workarounds but for a newcomer, this is a red flag of reinventing a basic and universal construct (interfaces) in a sub-par one, this show a dangerous mentality from the swift vm devs, what else did they wrongfully reinvent in a sub-par way?
> I am an individual contributor with very high performance rating.

Considering that your current plan is to learn new tech on company time and not speak to your boss, the high performance rating must be due to your boss really liking you. So you have nothing to worry about.
Yeah I dislike PGP mainly for email by the way. It's too clumsy there.

For file encryption and signing it's great IMO.

It's not "can't be bothered", implying low effort. It's very intentional SEO. Linking to the source unweights their own reporting.

Yes the actual volatility calculation is better but my numbers illustrate my point which is that the price is by no means stable in an absolute sense. We are in a "quiet period" relative to what happened during a massive bitcoin bubble but even the site you linked indicates that the volatility is twice that of gold and approximately three times that of major currencies even though we're in a quiet period.

Also note that the site is measuring historical volatility instead of implied volatility as is customary for most financial instruments so it can't be compared one-to-one with VIX or similar measures.
It's hard to find any actual example questions from these tests. Now I realize that my Google being biased to english sources and my inability to read or understand mandarin has something to do with that, but still.

Anyone know the origins of "What is Air?". It seems to be yet another meme that's passed me by, but Googling doesn't yield much in the way of an explanation — just lots of people on Tumblr saying it and finding it seemingly funny... http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/WHAT+IS+AIR%3F

There may be some merit to that guess; a few minutes on Google shows that all three of the panelists that are being made available to discuss this finding specialize in things like star formation and black holes (although their presence could also be spun as finding another "earthlike" extrasolar planet, if some are only there as panelists to discuss x-ray astronomy).

Crazy. If you go to reddit every tsa-critical comment is downvoted and the story has over 2.5k downvotes as of right now.
The notion that a TSA pat-down is in any way, shape, or form equivalent to "sexual abuse" is an insult to anyone who has been a victim of the real thing.
Very cool - you mention Slate, are you in contact with Brian Rice? Because if not you should be.
For those who make the effort, configuration management and monitoring systems that continuously profile one's own network are another way to deal with a growing, unfirewalled cluster.

Upvoted you because I felt it was one of the most adult and mature reactions I've seen in this thread so far.

Exactly. That precise moment and action he took was clearly a really stupid idea, and would do nothing constructive. It would only make things worse due to the fact that he's saying that to a human being, one who has emotions, and is just trying to do their job. And is very very unlikely to want to actually try to "touch his junk." The guy voluntarily went to the airport, and did so in the context of any reasonably connected citizen would know about the sorts of security procedures to expect there. And he acts like a passive aggressive drama queen. Sad. And lame.
Maybe the "shadow scholars" that do know math are too busy with their even better-paid assignments

I think that opportunists with those abilities went to work for Wall Street. Some people call them quants. I suspect it's much more lucrative than any crumb gathering around academia.
Beta is super interesting. Vermont based, going for cargo first, their CEO is an ex-hockey enforcer/pilot/aerospace engineer.

They are on their gen 2 prototype now where the vertical lift blades no longer tilt, but stow in long pylons. They are building a network of charging stations on top of buildings at airports.

Wish I could invest in these guys.

If your competitor saw you doing 'this stuff' they might report you, they might not. It's not a certainty and having seen enough situations like this over the years it strikes me as immature to think that by damaging your competitor you are immediately strengthening your own position. Rather the opposite, you are damaging the entire field in which you operate, which includes your own company.

Second, it's not kill or be killed, if that was all there was to it then why not hire some Russian goon squad to bring down your competitors web-site? After all, they could do the same to you... Most likely the idea that all of the competitors business would be taken over and that they'd go spectacularly bust is a pipe dream at best.

And let's let Marc Cuban speak for himself (as far as I know he's not going to stoop so low as to intentionally damage a competitor for his own advantage), for Donald Trump I'll hold up the inconclusive data flag.

If you run your business the way you do then it will definitely reflect back on you in most cases, you'll find that one day the tables are going to be turned and then you'll be all out of sympathy.

Sure, business is ruthless. But it does not automatically mean that you can back-stab your competitors for your own glorification. And if it does then I'd rather not be part of your circle, toxic attitudes create toxic environments.

If you think that the only way you can grow your company is at someone else's expense then maybe it's time you spent a few $ on marketing instead? Very rare to find an ocean empty of fish.

Author here. I wish I had made it clearer that the intent of the post was "this is an interesting and surprising thing you can achieve in C" and not "this is a good idea for a real software project" or "this is a reason to use C instead of C++/Rust/Go".
This is awesome! What is the strategy to identify the idea tweets? It looks like some string matching, but I'm not sure.
C is still, I have to imagine, the closest thing we have to a language available for all platforms that exist today, while C++ is heavily burdened with featuritis and Rust is limited in platform support.

Hi, I'm the author of the blog post being promoted here.

The `clouflared tunnel route dns` command creates thee DNS record mapping the tunnel to the domain. The tunnels config maps the hostname to the local service, and you can have multiple of those for each service. So for the example above, you would create a DNS record for each domain pointing to the same one tunnel, and that tunnel will route based on the ingress rules.
Please don't do this here. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29869127 for more explanation.
It resolves to the same IP as news.ycombinator.com and hackerne.ws so it seems like nothing more than a DNS record pointing to 174.132.225.106
Awesome, very cool! It's fun to see what people come up with to solve certain problems. Good luck!
Stage of disease also is important. In the first symptomatic stage, makes sense to try antivirals and HCQ to reduce or eliminate the virus, and prevent a cascade into the next stage. The problematic second stage - ARDS, a subset of patients who really go critical, seems to call for different approach because at that time, it’s the cytokine storm and our own immune reaction killing us.
Yes. What do you want to say with the quotes from the article? Yes it is not a vaccine, neither are antiviral treatments.
I was wondering how many people here on HN use type aliasing in their codebase.

Kotlin, Swift or any other language.
Not disagreeing on JS/Node... I will say I get so much better velocity in terms of practical work done with my time. But I've also seen people do some goofy things in JS, but will counter that most people are snooty about it and don't bother actually learning the language, reminds me a lot of VB a couple decades ago (the culture against it).
yeah, the converse of what the article talks about is that software engineers tend to be pretty arrogant and dismiss suggestions and requests from users and designers, and just treating them like people and seriously trying to find common ground gets you very far.
So it’s a feedback loop between ability and interest. With the two combined and progress registering people continue on. But what’s the wellspring of interest and is ability largely a gift or can it be cultivated?
I'm also a C++ dev an I'm envious of how clean your site design is. Do you have any insight you can share on how you approached the frontend design? I find myself constantly fiddling with the CSS and I feel like I could fiddle around with it forever and still not be happy.
> like the 5 sigma result in 2015

Isn't that just an earlier version of the same experiment? Doesn't seem too surprising that a broad distribution has a mean shift with a different experimental setup. I'd count this as a repeat of the same experiment. That of course doesn't rule out some flaw in their experimental setup that happens in roughly the same way in each repeat.
I calculated the percentages for two groups from a chart of four groups, so maybe there's more possible rounding error than you anticipated? The user base numbers in that chart do only add up to 99%, though.

Many of the details are specific to rolling ball mice (remember those?), but don't overlook the article because of that. The design and manufacturing processes are still relevant to various kinds of electromechanical devices.

We aren’t talking about whether the tax rate should be lower or better spent. We are talking about whether or not they ought to exist at all. Bringing in, now, the fact that some are wasted is not relevant to the discussion. The arguments for taxation have nothing to do with the arguments for slavery. This is a false equivalence.

Thanks for this.

>> If agriculture was the original sin of History, the Fall was our descent into Symbolic forms which created a psychological removal best expressed by the use of artillery. With the epoch of History proper, beginning with the Neolithic, internal abstractions are projected outwards onto a terra nullius, a void now dedicated to the manufacture of first commodities, the domestication of animals and conflict management, in terror of the silences of a world made ancient by representation and signs. The great farming apparatus of this era mirrored institutionalized ritual and the codes of orthodox magic, which are the ancestors of surveillance technology and remote control. Division of labor lead to the great land enclosures and the dawn of the money form, nascent surplus-value with its classes of guardians, warriors, magistrates, clerics. Greek books were read in boustrophedon, which means ‘after the action of an oxen plowing a field’, each line progressing and then reversing back in a bi-directional motion, equating the patterns of informational technology with the golden gizmo of sedentary humanity. The subsequent Bronze Age saw pottery, the production of rich varieties of armaments, the complexities of credit and written script, and the formation of the great elites – and naturally, slavery. Early statecraft was far more ‘modern’ than is commonly acknowledged: banking, proto-welfare, heated toilet seats, the wide application of credit and debt enslavement (we have conveniently lost the custom of the Jubilee write-down), micro-breweries, were all part of the ancient world.

Say you're making an online game, and you need an RNG on your server. Above all, this RNG needs to be unpredictable, or someone will easily game it. Most non-cryptographic PRNGs are very predictable, so it's dangerous to use them.

I think this is a scenario that (a) isn't "extremely niche," and (b) warrants CSPRNGs.

" This is (IMO) the most important point about digital currency - the promise of providing consumers in unstable economies the chance to convert to a more stable currency without government intrusion. "

This was never the promise of blockchains or decentralized currencies because those things cannot fulfill the promise.

There's a much more pragmatic answer and that's to use Euros, USDs, Pounds or RMBs for a decade or so until the government has legitimacy.

'Cash' is useful in these economies.

Also, it's possible to provide digitized banking for the purposes of transferring money without the notion of introducing new, funny currencies.
There are two sides of an orderbook. There are sell orders (ask) and buy orders (bid).

When your sell order is higher than the highest bid it will be put onto the order book. If your buy order is lower than the lowest ask it will be put onto the order book.

You can sell or buy instantaneously by fulfilling an existing order. When you do a market order the exchange automatically presents you with the most favorable order. Once that favorable order is gone it will take the second most favorable order and so on. Each new order is less favorable than the last one.

By repeatedly selling Bitcoin you are clearing the order book on the buy side. Less buyers mean lower prices.
