That Time article is linked on a bunch of fora, but none of them have a link (or reference) to the actual study.

Any idea if it's available? I suspect that Time's treatment of it is not as nuanced as the original authors would have liked, and even then, the Time article doesn't actually concur that "Greed is good". They just have that phrase in the headline.
You know, maybe I need a large print edition. I'd blame the mouse, but I know that no one will buy that.

The gensim library now offers the 'Paragraph Vector' [1] approach to create vectors for longer ranges of text. It's available in a class named Doc2Vec – but I don't think that's what is being used here.

The Paragraph Vector approach can give interesting results for document-similarity, including similarity after certain 'algebraic'-like additions/subtractions of other topics/word-concepts. [2]

Something is grinding over there. Page build failures were at 100%, exceptions shot up and 3.5 seconds to start loading a page.

Might be showing signs of recovery though. Build failures are down. But that could be because there are no builds now!

Hopefully just a blip.

Reading Lenin's letters in the Lenin museum in Tampere was very eye opening and educational. Communism was never meant to be the state ownership of all property. It was meant to be the centralized state ownership of the means of production (mainly mining and large infrastructure) with cottage industries (local farmers and makers etc) existing and operating in a free market. Shortly before his death Lenin warned the politburo that Stalin was no good and should be purged from the party. When Stalin came to power he corrupted the original aim of Communism and installed new rules for state ownership to encompass the means of all production and also the proceeds of all production and we all now what happened next.

The commons is a very old concept in Europe. In the UK for example common ownership of agricultural land was the norm until the tragedy of the commons in the early/mid 1800's.

Today Europe is largely a social democracy which aims to walk the line between socialism and capitalism. Again social ownership of the means of production does not necessarily mean state ownership. As vezzy-fnord pointed out Mondragon is a cooperative who came about from the anti-Franco socialist movement in Spain in the mid 1900's. This is most definitely a socialist philosophy operating within a capitalist framework.

Socialism has had a major impact on European politics. The Nordic countries have an immensely strong welfare states due to this, the labour party in the UK (the blip of Tony Blair is an anomaly and they are swinging back to the left now), Sinn Fein (IRA political wing) in Ireland, François Hollande's Socialist party etc etc. Sure Europe operates within a capitalist framework but there is not such a fervent religious belief in unbridled capitalism as one would find in the States. All one needs to do is look at all the anti-trust lawsuits we have in the EU, against the likes of Google and Microsoft, to see how Socialist philosophy manifests itself in contemporary times.
If you are forced to learn something at a very early age, you will drop it like a hot potatoe the day you get free choice.

If you are forced even more, that Resistance to the "system" attitude and the results, might even become part of the core personality.

Force is used by those who can not encourage by example. If you can encourage by example, all that force will lead to someone who is very good at circumventing bigot rule-systems. Who will then pass that attitude to his son/her daughter.

This article could use some disassembly (and LLVM IR) from compiled code to see what a piece of Rust SIMD code looks like when compiled for different architectures. No doubt you've done this when debugging, but it would also be useful for the rest of us.

How well does it work in general? When you write SIMD code, can the compiler keep the values in vector registers or is there spilling going on?
I discovered programming as a ten year old because I grew tired of the games I had for my C64. After all C64 BASIC was there all along, behind the scenes, just waiting for me. Today when kids grow tired of the games they have, they open the App Store and download another one. There's no programming language "behind the scenes" waiting for to be discovered by a bored ten year old.

I totally agree that kids should decide and that as parents we should never force them to fulfill our dreams. But at the same time as adults we still need to show them what options there are, guide them through obstacles and push them a little when it's boring or scary in order to make them grow.

Far too often today I see parents (myself no exception though I try no to) treat their children as small adults, as if they already possess all the knowledge and skill to make informed decisions about what's best for them. When I take the time to really listen to my kids it always strikes me how much their view of the world differs from mine. It's easy to think that a certain event we experience together has the same impact on us, but a lot of the things I consider trivial has a lasting effect on my kids.

I guess what I want to say is that it's easy to say "if the kid wants to program, she will program" but it doesn't always work that way if she doesn't know that you can program.

No, that's what the title says, but it is click bait.

What the actual article says is that in social groups with well defined hierarchies, higher ranking members tend to contribute more than average to the common good (though this might be biased due to their role in defense against external threats). This old fashioned notion that the rich are expected to hit above their weight level is called Noblesse Obligue, and it's almost the exact opposite of Gecko's doctrine.

What reasons there might be to have come up with such a title/conclusion given the information available? I can only think of one: Assholeness apologetics.

You can also use an old usb keyboard controller board. Besides the hassle of point to point soldering all keys to the keyboard controller matrix (after mapping all combinations), you get a USB compliant device. Disclaimer : I have never used this technique for a whole keyboard but it worked pretty well to transform an old arcade controler to use mame or to midify an old organ bass pedal.
Savings are a necessary pre-requisite for investment. On balance it is better to have savings than debt.

Creating bubbles in certain asset classes is usually the fault of differential tax or regulation treatment for that class. It can be avoided by not creating special classes.

The story of savings being stuffed into mattresses is usually followed by some type of incorrect Keynesian thinking. It's so rare that it is not a problem. A 'general glut' as it used to be called has nothing to do with hoarding savings.

That snide comment seems unnecessary.
I kind of feel like saying "don't use landlines then dummy!" I mean it's a bit glib, but in all seriousness, why would you use landlines these days for telephone calls? Maybe it's different in the UK, but certainly here in France even the most basic phone plans come with pretty much unlimited domestic calls making the low-tech problems associated with landline phones just not worth the hassle anymore.

> That’s when they found the remains of a Neolithic dwelling, dating from around 6000 B.C. It was previously unknown that anyone had lived on the site of the old city before around 1300 B.C. (...) In the Stone Age, the water level of the Bosporus was far lower than it is now; there’s a chance that the people who left those prints might have been able to walk from Anatolia to Europe.

That part is really interesting. For those HN-ers not interested in those times, there is the "Black Sea deluge hypothesis" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sea_deluge_hypothesis) which says something like this:

> The Black Sea deluge is a hypothesized catastrophic rise in the level of the Black Sea circa 5600 BC due to waters from the Mediterranean Sea breaching a sill in the Bosporus strait
Well, you don't (hopefully) need a shopping-bag size plastic bag for dog poop.

For dog poo, I buy dedicated poo bags which cost a few cents each and are biodegradable (and blackened, so you don't need to admire the content as with clear bags).

Over here (Finland), the shopping bags we use cost 20 cents each. That is not a tax, but money that the shops collect to their pockets and have thus conveniently avoided any specific plastic bag tax.

The grocery shopping plastic bags are typically something like 15-20 litres in volume and can carry perhaps 10 kg of groceries if you're careful. After carrying home, people often use them for household waste, and then they go with the contained waste to landfill or nowadays incineration.

Small, thin bags are free (for instance for packing vegetables) but they are useless for carrying anything in the sense of a shopping bag; they're just there for cleanly keeping different items apart within a shopping bag.

Myself, I often use a small blue IKEA bag for groceries (when kids were teenagers, we bought so much stuff that we actually used a large IKEA bag which might weigh perhaps 30 kg for a week's main shopping round...).

Or a rucksack or a bike bag if I go to shop on the bike. However, if I don't have one with me, I'm quite happy to get a thinner single-use bag instead of having to buy yet another more robust bag (of which we have many).

Plastic bags are around 0,2 % of household waste; not very much, but I prefer to avoid even that if possible.

Fortunately our local Greens finally suffered a complete defeat and we now have a waste incineration system instead of an ideological system of much talk about recycling and a landfill (even if the amount of waste we produce is generally lower than in the US; in most of Europe the figure is somewhere around 1 kg per person per day; in California it is 2 kg per person per day).

Making a plastic bag takes about 40 % less energy than making a paper bag, BTW.
As bad as the Israeli occupation is, it's not even in the same order of magnitude in terms of per-human suffering.
> If I'm being uncharitable (and after having had conversations with managers about Amazon's total compensation philosophy in which raises are scaled back if the stock did well but not scaled up proportionally if the stock underperformed, I am perfectly willing to be uncharitable here), I would believe that large chunks of their compensation system are structured around an average employee tenure of roughly 18-30 months. If you assume that, it almost looks like the company has gone out of its way to minimize the amount it will actually have to pay to people while maximizing the amount it looks like they're offering.

Absolutely.

I'm kinda on the fence about the stock price increase being used to avoid giving raises.

On one hand, yes the amount of money I can get in a year went up.

On the other, the company already allocated those RSUs. They aren't giving me anything new. They are also forcing my hand into selling them immediately if I actually want a raise in my take home pay. Plus, you quit after 2 years or so they gave out only about 20% of the total, so you leave all that money on the table. That's after they didn't give you any sort of real raise for 2 years because your were already hitting the target.

I'd be interested to hear some people from other companies talk about their employers philosophy.

I actually agree with you on the transitioning thing.

The reason that I said don't regard it as mainstream is (1) this is what they themselves say on their website and (2) I know someone who works there who told me not to rely upon it even existing in the very long term as it just isn't a business priority for them to maintain it.

I don't get the tearing I guess we have different set ups (see what I said about not being a mainstream product). On the Mac I find the newer spotify client to be very slow and heavy on resources. On Linux we still have I think the older version that on my laptop uses far less memory and processor to sit in the background and play music.

What strikes me are the missing artists. For instance, no Beatles. I'm pretty sure I hear the Beatles on TV, radio, etc more than all other 60s music combined. Ditto AC/DC: 1980 "Back in black" is the best selling rock album ever, and I hear AC/DC really, really often in the background.
I'm afraid Spotify isn't _that_ representative of all available (pop) music.

Here's a cynical comment:

Long term monetization will only work if he can ship version 2 at some point to pull in some more money from the same people who bought version 1 (and the same thing with version 3). The choice of not shipping obvious features of an IDE is in order to have better differentiation between versions.

Though, maybe there is really a good reason for that involving some of Apple's policies. I heard they teach the developers all kinds of lessons when it comes to how a program should be made... who knows...
Thank you! Your idea can really work here, I just need to find relevant professionals in this field.

The US spends a huge amount on medical research compared with other countries-- both in the form of direct government subsidies and high drug prices. We also spend a huge amount on direct and indirect foreign aid, and privately funded programs by US citizens... like the Gates Foundation that explicitly funds medical research and cures for tropical diseases.

So why do they make formulaic crap, and not even nice formulaic crap, like Tin Pan Alley, but just formulaic crap?

I'm not saying this because of any nostalgia and such. I never lived in the times of Tin Pan Alley, and I like stuff from Rick James and Aphex Twin to Burial and MIA. But the BS sold as "R&B" today is beyond crap by most metrics -- the fact that's it made by "comitee" is also telling.

I'm thinking stuff that is available on Linux as well as Windows/OSx.

Examples include Matlab, the Avizo image analysis suite, a certain simulation package that was described as AllSIM in a controversial discussion relating to CERN last week on HN and Maya (not scientific but it does illustrate the sort of high end very expensive niche stuff that tends to have Linux versions).
I feel the same. I guess I'm mostly just asking so it is known that there is at least some demand for such a product. :)

For a lot of subscribers in the US, telephone is bundled with cable TV and internet packages. trying to purchase one or the other or both without the all-in-one bundle is usually more expensive.

Also, at least in my market, I've been seeing a lot of scaremongering ads about how cell phones aren't reliable in an emergency and don't alert LE to your location immediately like dialing 911 from a landline does. It's ironic when these ads are placed by the cable companies which generally use digital telephone products that are susceptible to outages and don't work when the power is out, just like cable.
I have the same issue, but on my mobile. Same message every time "We've been trying to contact you regarding mis-sold PPI.." but different number.

Originally it was from a range of UK mobile numbers, but now it seems to all be foreign numbers so I guess the mobile operators picked up on it. Not really anyway to block it, but at least when it's an unknown foreign number I can be reasonably sure it's a scam and just reject the call.

A deeper problem is that math is almost always taught as a list of rules in the first place, frequently by teachers who do not themselves understand the underlying concepts. Teachers who only remember the procedures can of course only teach procedures. Most adults don't even remember any procedures, since they have no need to in daily life.

This condemns children to repeat the cycle. They (completely rationally) decide that they're just 'not math people' because they can't follow lists of arbitrary seeming steps to do something that no one they have ever met ever actually does in daily life. And some of them grow up to be teachers themselves.
Why the downvotes ? It's actually true and really relevant to the article. Music was way more localized back then and a lot of mainstream US artists never actually reached a worldwide audience. (especially on the Rap section of the article).
how did you "call" the data?
I think that for a professional designer a £15 (or whatever it is now) monthly charge that can probably be expensed or tax offset anyway is small compared to learning a new UI or the potential difficulties that can arise when handing a non-Adobe file to a print shop.

What Adobe have achieved with photoshop is become the de facto standard for many aspects of design and image work. They have done this through a mixture of (1) being the best practical option and (2) some vendor lock in. We may not like it but well done to them.
I think as telecom-as-a-service grows and facilitates further and further automation of this kind of thing, we may see the growth of phone call spam filtering the same way we have with email.
