> No offence to Scott but I think he's got this all wrong. The NYT piece isn't about Scott

I'd be willing to entertain that hypothesis—but for how they knowingly and defiantly chose to unmask/dox a practising psychiatrist. Not printing names of sources is standard practice in media and to suggest that exceptions must be made in a case like this is dishonest.

By your lights, Scott's name added zero value to the story; printing it demonstrated that the piece was most definitely about Scott.

> the group has a massively over-sensitive to criticism

Misrepresentation isn't criticism. Lumping a diverse group under one label and then using individual traits to infer criticism upon the whole—isn't criticism. You appear to be overly enthralled by group narratives rather than talking about individuals.

> I think there's a debate to be had about the approach of the "Rationalists" and I think the Rationalists are unwilling to have it

An interesting assertion which smells a bit like mind-reading to me. Can you point to any instances where honest, civilised debate of "rationalist" ideas was refused? You can criticise the "rationalists" of many things, but given the proliferation of unedited and undigested conversations they churn out, being unwilling to debate isn't one of them.

(And yes, I realise that prior paragraph offers you plenty of rope: I haven't head the term "rationalist" used much and so I have no idea who you think a "rationalist" is. I have no idea what examples you might unearth. To be clear, I am not asking rhetorically, I'm asking because I'm genuinely curious what source data you used to form this unwillingness to debate hypothesis.)
In Texas, they check nothing. You decide yourself if you meet the criteria.
I have no problem with this. Each of us knows our circumstances best.
(not saying jumping the line is acceptable..)
175K seems kinda crazy unless that's total yearly compensation including equity. These days even interns are making 80K+ though. The crazy SV money is in getting early equity in a company with enough secret sauce to make it long term, though, and those opportunities don't usually come with big salaries right away. It's also a very high risk way to be compensated. If you are in the position to do so, I suggest focusing on finding a job that's a good fit for your skills, work style and risk tolerance. Let the compensation details fall into place from there. Assuming you've joined a good group of people working on a real project, things will probably work out. (You of course need to be responsible for yourself and understand your financial situation. It's too easy to miss a deadline and lose equity options, for example.)
It's shiny
it's called "responsible disclosure" though this is not 100% responsible. lol
I think the DSL logic is at compile time, the Kotlin annotation generate source code at compile time just like a macro and enable compile time type safety. Also the performance is expected to be order of magnitude better given the JVM.

Also you can really, really change both syntax and semantics: https://docs.racket-lang.org/2d/
Exactly, racket give you much more freedom because of this, I don't know the use cases but it's indeed more powerful.
A comparison with Truffle would be great! I wonder if a higher level/simpler but less powerful abstraction on top of Truffle could bridge the difficulty gap.
Take for example the definition of floor(), how would an IDE or documentation generator see which types are supported? This is just imperative code which is executed at compile time and at least to me it is not obvious how to interpret it when generating the documentation. On the other hand in Rust it is almost always easy to see which types can be used where.

pub fn floor(x: anytype) @TypeOf(x) {
const T = @TypeOf(x);
return switch (T) {
f16 => floor16(x),
f32 => floor32(x),
f64 => floor64(x),
f128 => floor128(x),
else => @compileError("floor not implemented for " ++ @typeName(T)),
};
}
Disagree - that sets up an incentive for everyone to cover for bad apples. To get the right incentives it's important that it's at the individual level to price bad cops out of the market.
Yep.

"It's ok to fuck the lives, communities, job prospects, etc. of blacks, latinos, gays, lesbians, whites, fill billionaires' pockets, and bomb foreign countries, but we care for correct pronouns, and are in favor of same-sex marriage and stuff. Oh, and yay for ACA [as if that solves anything]".

TSA's influence I'd imagine. Because we all know terrorists like to double-check their how-to videos on youtube before actually commencing the act.
There's also hubic (https://hubic.com/en/offers/), with an even more interesting pricing plan, and also compatible with expandrive.
This looks mighty fishy.

They claim to be based on Glacier, yet their plans (1TB and up) are cheaper than Glacier itself. They offer 5TB for $500/yr, on Glacier it costs $600/yr.

Even more worrying, they don't mention any retrieval fees nor limits.

Glacier will charge them almost $800 if they let you download your 5TB in a reasonable timeframe (7 days).

So, they are going to lose up to ~$1000 USD on every customer that takes their free offer, stores a significant portion of the free 5TB for a year and then downloads it all to move elsewhere...

Either that or they must have a truly amazing discount with Amazon.

Edit: Even assuming such a discount exists, that still looks like a very expensive marketing campaign considering most users will likely churn out after their free year...
A few things that SQLite Professional does that Base does not.

1. Get results for multiple queries at once. A simple example would be SELECT 'hello'; select 'world'; which will return two result sets, where base will only return the first one.

2. If your select query contains a tables primary keys, then the results from a query can be edited inline. Example if you run SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE id IN (1,2,3) then you can actually edit the results directly without needing to switch back to the data view.

3. If you have a trigger or view that depends on a specific column or table, and the column/table gets renamed, SQLite Professional will prompt you with the details and alter the underlying trigger/views to be updated with the new proper information.

4. SQLite Professional will automatically reload if your database is modified by an external app (such a directly via a sqlite3 prompt, a php script, etc).

That said, Base is a great app. If you already own a copy of it and the above functionality does not interest you, I would probably just suggest keeping with it.
> It might be true, but this attitude makes it very hard for developers not to discount all complaints, including ones grounded in reality.

I think this is a problem for outside observers, not competent developers. Unlike us, Apple developers have ready access to statistics about bug reports and other forms of support requests that we do not. This data, presumably, is not subject to the same biases that infect an anecdote-driven discussion of software quality by outsiders.
I believe Monad is fine as a term, because you cannot describe it based on resemblance with real-world objects, as more conventional OOP design-patterns are doing. And I think that the name of a design pattern should be first of all unique and easy to remember and not necessarily descriptive, because the whole point of coming up with a design pattern is to grow the vocabulary of those using it and naming clashes are bad.

I do prefer "flatMap" to "bind", as practiced in say Scala, because it's a direct reference to this property: "m.flatMap(f) == m.map(f).flatten"
Randomly capitalizing words is another bad sign:

> With all the different courses that I teach, I began to see many common threads between the subject material of Astronomy, Physics, Meteorology and the Earth Sun relationship.

When actual geniuses make breakthroughs in mathematics and physics, they usually do it with a well-written paper or book, such as:

(1) "Principia Mathematica" (Newton, 1687). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophi%C3%A6_Naturalis_Pri...

(2) "A Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field" (Maxwell, 1865). http://rstl.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/155/459.full....

(3) "On the electrodynamics of moving bodies" (Einstein, 1905). https://www.fourmilab.ch/etexts/einstein/specrel/www/

(4) "Ricci flow with surgery on three-manifolds" (Perelman, 2003). http://arxiv.org/abs/math/0303109

It's difficult to understand why a person who is teaching and in touch with academia would not publish his theory and results thus far in a style accessible to other researchers and academics. There has been an established style and convention for how to share such ideas for over 300 years.

No. You are linking to lawful interception documents. That is not handled in the phone or base station but in the core network. You can not use it to track or listen to shut off devices.
Sometimes I wonder how you balance that Adam Smith quote with "Tragedy of the commons".
Unless you’re happy with playing a supporting role, gaming should be left as an activity for friends only. Higher-ups do not like being shown up by lower-downs. This doesn’t only apply to team sports.

I learnt this by coming second in a solitary, competitive sport for the Christmas event, which the higher-ups were into in their free time, and which I had no experience with, as a new, young employee. I came first in a similarly solitary sport we all participated in the following year.

My project manager had been going around telling everyone how good he was at this sport, how we shouldn’t even bother. This encouraged me to make even more of an effort. He came second, his manager third. He and a few others booed me while I received the trophy.

It didn’t last long there. Just let them win.
I teach college and often public speaking. Practically all college students know that wholesale plagiarism is wrong but many of them still don't know how to cite their sources.

I tell them any time you use information from another source you need to say the source even if you use the same source 2-3 sentences in a row. Every time I hear you give a statistic I ask myself, "Did you give a source for that?" We do exercises where I give them paragraphs without citations and ask them to identify all the ones that need citations. I have them do impromptu speeches on summarizing an article and citing it multiple times. I explain the difference between a source and a citation. I tell them I don't care about a works cited slide. If I don't hear them say the source it doesn't count.

Many of them still give statistics without citing them.
Surprised nobody mentioned Matomo Analytics yet:

https://matomo.org/

It's FLOSS, comes both self-hosted and as a paid service and it's pretty good. Perhaps good enough for your use case?
The whole point of the scenario was that there are no good options.

We shouldn't allow people to get into a situation where they have to choose between losing a kidney and their children starving.

But - if someone is in that situation - it makes absolutely no sense not to let them decide which option they find least worst.

By doing that, you're only making things worse.
Demanding to discuss politics at all times could be the position of a vocal minority hoping to have disproportionate impact. It is derailing topics and ultimately trolling.

Many food related discussions on reddit ignore both health and animal rights considerations. Would it be appropriate to bring these topics up each time someone posts their burger? Likely not
Lots of good suggestions here, but they miss the elephant in the room: you are trapped and you feel that. It seems like a lot of your anxiety stems from that.

My only suggestion would be to "climb out" of this trap. Since you can't find another job in your town (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21620176), try looking fo remote job openings. Freelancing and starting your own business are options as well, but I won't recommend them for you, at least for now.

Perhaps they haven’t sold Nvidia hardware, but the allowance of Nvidia’s web drivers so that I could connect my eGPU w/ GTX 1080 to the 13in Macbook Pro was one of the primary reasons I bought the MBP.

It is fine if they want to kill off features off upcoming hardware, but killing off the capacity to use something that was used for months is not the best look. If Metal Only was the goal, add a prompt when someone enables said web drivers that they’re going off the reservation snd that they assume the risk.

These release notes seem to be Nvidia giving up the ghost that they’re going to be able to resolve this dispute and High Sierra is the last release where all but a couple of really old Nvidia GPUs work.
Wow, is this written by an underclassman? Have you ever heard anyone who accomplished anything that bushed us forward comment on how difficult it was to lean forward? I challenge everyone here to hurt themselves a little bit while trying something that didn't make sense to you at first because it impressed you.

"It's easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to get permission"

Thats a mantra that I found hard to take on, but it really has helped me
Sure. I'll try to get that added tonight.
Thanks! Very interesting. From the WP article:

"Martin Ford author of The Lights in the Tunnel: Automation, Accelerating Technology and the Economy of the Future [6] makes the case that the risk posed by accelerating technology may be primarily economic in nature. Ford argues that before technology reaches the point where it represents a physical existential threat, it will become possible to automate nearly all routine and repetitive jobs in the economy."

I find this, for short or medium time scales, quite likely, too. There will always be a demand for high skilled humans. Maybe even after the machines are the new bosses. But if we don't make groundbreaking progress in human learning techniques, most people will have trouble to learn these skills fast enough.

Then he writes further:

"In the absence of a major reform to the capitalist system, this could result in massive unemployment, plunging consumer spending and confidence, and an economic crisis potentially even more severe than the Great Depression. If such a crisis were to occur, subsequent technological progress would dramatically slow because there would be insufficient incentive to invest in innovation."

This sounds somewhat plausible but I don't believe it. The trend goes towards highly profitable mega corporations. Governments, and with it most people, become less powerful in economic terms. I think we can already see this effect very well. So there won't necessary be a recession. As long as the rich find ways to spend their money - like flying to Mars.
I uploaded multiple photos but always get the same photo back. Is this a bug?
I'm the volunteer cookie sale manager for my daughter's service unit, which consists of ~35 troops and ~400 girls. We're part of the Girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts Council, one of two councils in Massachusetts.

The cookie sale is primarily a fundraiser for a council. The council sets the price (in our case, $4.00 per box). Out of the $4.00 per box, here's where the money goes:

Council Programs and Properties (50%): $2.00
Baker (22.5%): $0.90
Troop Proceeds (15.5%): $0.62
Administration (9%): $0.36
Girl Incentives (3%): $0.12

GSUSA gets their cut out of the Baker's share as a licensing fee.

If you look at the Program Guide for our council, (http://www.girlscoutseasternmass.org/programs/) you'll see that it offers a large number of programs and camps for girls in eastern MA, at very reasonable cost. Half the money from the sale goes towards property maintenance and operations, keeping the cost down for all girls, and for scholarships for girls who cannot otherwise afford them.
We just launched. Can you drop me a mail at martin@getsuperpin.com? Would love to talk.
I prefer to learn from reading code examples and so I found a freely available online book called jQuery Fundamentals (Rebecca Murphey) helpful. Although it's focus is on jQuery, the introduction to Javascript is second to none: http://jqfundamentals.com/book/index.html
Agreed!

One possible explanation for the number of job postings for Actionscript is that the culture around doing Flash animations is one where there is high turnover. Thus there are lots of open jobs at any one time.

Another possible explanation is that there is a culture of paying people very little for full time jobs but overpaying agencies (who also pay little). As a result, companies are constantly hoping to hire someone at a bargain but rarely finding anyone willing to work long hours for low wages, and they are forced to go to agencies for their needs.

I don't know if either explanation is true, of course, but I do know that I'd look into a lot more than a single cherry-picked statistic before deciding I wanted to learn a new programming language.
Sounds like this guy has way too much time on his hands. And what did you mean by "his theory"?
Well, for the record, we have tried the whole supply-side economics thing in the real world twice now, with less-than-stellar results.. I mean, there's no control group but you'd need an alternate universe for that.

EDIT: sigh. Downvote away for not liking what I said, but you can't even disagree with it, it's factual. That particular idea has been tried twice in the real world.
If you don't control the system it runs on, then you are completely at the mercy of someone else's business. If they go broke, your software goes down.

but, couldn't you make this argument about many things? your company's payment gateway? your bank? ISP? server host? etc.. your business will hit the breaks if there are any major hiccups with the providers of any of these services.

i mean, its contextual, of course. if you've written a twitter app, its different. its not an app being built with the help of an api, its an app being built specifically for an api. but a single business makes use of lots of services, and an api is just a service.
Domain check is good, but can be misread, especially with IDNs. Of course, URLs can be mistyped too and a lot of phishing is based on typos of URLs. So really, in the end, you should always follow a bookmark before logging in.
On Chrome, as far as I can tell, a playing audio file does not stop (keeps playing in the background for a certain time) even though I've navigated to a new page within that domain. Is that a feature or a bug?

There are some mobile game sdks that use lua like gideros and corona. It's possible to do live coding in a simulator if you use zerobrane studio but I'm not sure if it's possible on a real phone.
Nah, they're not linked. That is, if the entire planet had 0 transactions for the next 24 hours, you'd still award bitcoin miners the same block rewards every 10 minutes for the next 24 hours. In other words, block rewards are not a per-transaction cost, they're a systemic cost.

And that cost is dropping. Money supply is just inherent to bitcoin's design to kick it off, but it's dropping to near zero within a few decades, unlike systemic costs of printing fiat which remain endlessly.

The long-term reward are transaction fees, and those are certainly quite cheap. You can move millions of dollars with pennies of fees, or you can make one transaction with thousands of outputs, also for mere pennies. Those fees can stay low as when you get 1.000x more transactions, you can pay for the same security with extremely small fees per transaction. (i.e. securing the system is expensive, again it's a systemic cost, but securing each individual transaction isn't, that's just a cheap process of verifying a signature and storing 1/10th the amount of data of a tweet. So if you get enough transactions going, securing the system can be funded by very many very cheap transaction fees. And if you don't get many transactions going, then bitcoin isn't popular and well used anyway and who cares then if it doesn't work? It's like saying Myspace has technical flaws, nobody cares if it already failed to become popular that it would also have failed for technical reasons.

Bitcoin is imo unlikely to ever let you buy a cup of coffee using a single blockchain transaction (I mean, you can now, I'm talking sustaining this over the long term). Instead, it'll be used as the value network on which financial systems are built that will allow you to do this. Whether that's sidechains or offchains, they'll all use bitcoin's blockchain as a settling mechanism, without forcing low-value transactions on a permanent global ledger.
...?

Hence it is appropriate to discuss how the problems would be solved on a spaceflight forum, but not so appropriate on a video game forum.
This should really be titled: "Don't use the R mailing lists", initially I thought it was an essay against the use of mailing lists in general.
