I partially agree with this view; however, to be fair, this is not a problem with academic economics, but rather with "pop economics".

There is no lack of academic economists who can (and do) prove how austerity programs and trickle-down are wrong; in fact, they're the only ones really leading the charge on this matter in the political world at the moment.

The problem is that policy leaders not trained in advanced economic studies (most of them lawyers by trade, as you would expect in the business of writing laws) are awash in "pop economics", cheap literature peddled by suspect gurus sponsored by interested parties. This creates a hegemonic but distorted view of the field that is then very hard to shake.

Its almost a given that a tech gizmo gathers healthy interest today. The real question is whether the general population want to integrate it into their life when the novelty wears off.

The Danish ministry for Finance has an official macroeconomic model that is used to evaluate policies.

To the best of my knowledge, it includes a small (I think fixed) amount of structural unemployment but anything else is assumed to be transient. We might have some unemployment now, but it's always assumed to right itself after a few years.

Not true. With reasoning, one can develop a model, and this model can be tested against reality by observations, thus closing the circle.

Mere observations give no interesting and no useful results. Basically, you'll end up with an ever-growing list of facts.

> This is what the real science is. Observation and only observation. Reasoning is secondary and unimportant.

"Observation and only observation" is how you build an inchoate collection of useless factoids, it's not how you do science.

Observations are a very important part of the scientific method and you have to be either rooted or anchored in it, but it's only one part of science, and it's by no means the most important product of it. Observations are seeds (from which patterns are recognised and hypotheses formed) and filters (data gathered to test the predictive power of hypotheses).

Thanks for this and the follow on posts. I've been inconsistent in my meditation, and have been consistent with it only during periods of extended freedom, usually between jobs or tasks. I've not had the discipline to stick with it when my To Do lists starting flowing over... and of course that's when the procrastination and anxiety kick in. I'm going to have a stab at more consistent meditation practice, and hopefully I'll benefit with a bit of what you describe.
Show HN: LaaS – License as a Service
I really liked the gitignore.io [1] project and the ease that it provided when creating a new git repo. I wanted something like that but for licenses.

So I made LaaS. A simple (can't express this enough) tool that gets you a license in just a few seconds.

The code is available at GitHub [2] where I accept pull requests and bug reports.

This is my first project of this kind so please don't go easy on me. :)

Thanks for taking a look.

Greatcomment, very insightful.

I think another reason is that in business you need models you can reason about.

One example is from a bank that advises customers on investment. They have to algorithms doing machine learning on the market, a decision tree and a deep neural net. Over time they can see that the neural net outperforms the decision tree, yet they cannot use the results to advise customers because it is a black box.

Why should you buy this investment? "Because the computer said so" isn`t an answer that makes it sound like you know what you are talking about.

1) Agreed. As soon as I hear about any software doing similar even by mistake I consider whether to stop using it.

2) I sort of agree with this. Google certainly don't want to sell my keystrokes on the black market. However, they do want to store them and learn more about me and my personal autonomy and privacy mean that I don't want them to have all my data.

3) Which is exactly why one should be careful what software one installs!

Most austerity program fail because there is no true austerity. Outside of Greece which has had to make real cuts simply because it hasn't the money the vast majority of countries which claimed some form of austerity never actually cut spending, some kept increasing it.

In the US it is all a shell game where the deceit of baseline budgeting allows Congress and the President to claim cuts when spending increases. The US could balance its budget in a manner of years if budgeting were honest and they actually reduce spending increases below inflation.
I hope so. This is why I don't bother watching youtube videos on my phone anymore...
Still seems like a needless use of goto.

struct resources {
resourceA *a;
resourceB *b;
resourceC *c;
};

int init(resources *r) {
err = funA(r->a);
if (err)
{cleanup(r); return err;}

err = funB(r->b);
if (err)
{cleanup(r); return err;}

err = funC(r->c);
if (err)
{cleanup(r); return err;}

return 0;
}

void cleanup(resources *r) {
if (r->a)
{specialFree(r->a);}

if (r->b)
{specialFree(r->b);}

if (r->c)
{specialFree(r->c);}

free r;
}

And this has the added benefit of being more structured, more testable. The same cleanup() code can be used for normal cleanup as well as error handling, so you have less duplication.
That works reasonably well if you're in an English speaking country. In other countries, not so much. Especially when trying to specify an address.
> I just don't see what people think others would understand by teleologic statements like: "write Go the way it wants to be written"

well, this is a very general advice, approx. implying : "don't force your previous language's world view while programming in Go".

f.e. if you are coming to Go from say Java, where everything is a class and where hierarchies abound, when you try to write a 'javaesque' go, you would be fighting against the language.

however, embracing a 'goesque' worldview of composition+interfaces as primary vehicle for program design, would/should make the overall experience quite a pleasant one.

Well, the IMF and ECB's time scale for predicted recovery in Greece has been 18 months ever since austerity was implemented in 2009.

So that's roughly four complete and total fuck ups in a row.

How much more time do you need?

There's always a chance, of course, that austerity is utterly destructive towards the Greek economy but very good for German financiers (with the ear of the ECB) who would like to pick up a port or state electric company on the cheap and who like the flood of cheap labor the austerity crisis has instigated.

Astrology has also developed over a couple of millennia.

The fact that some people use astrology to play the markets, and seem to get results that are as good as those of economic theory, says a lot about both.

Economics is entirely a faith-based pseudo-science, which plays the same role in modern culture as the nonsensical theistic "explanations" of the world put out by the Church played in medieval times.

It's a form of political/rhetorical persuasion and social control, with an implied morality that's never seriously questioned. Even if you accept that it's politically descriptive and not politically predictive, it still fails.

It's not a science in any useful way - it simply pretends to be one, because that makes it appear more authoritative.

The real scandal for me is the fact that skeptics and debunkers like the amazing Randi have spent so much time and energy on trivial topics like the paranormal, while leaving the epic intellectual fraud and imposture behind mainstream economic theory unchallenged.

But all the reasoning should always be a direct consequence of the data. Not the other way around.

Science, essentially, is nothing but a process of extracting information (as in the algorithmic information theory, not in Shannon sense) from the data. Reasoning is just a tool, one of the ways of representing this information.
I think by now most people in the English speaking world know that if they want to start getting more depth on a topic then Wikipedia is a decent place to start. However, sometime you just want a quick summary/single fact.

I'm a game developer, and it might just be the first time I can work on a laptop with integrated graphics.

Please don't :). New iGPUs may be catching up to old dGPUs, but meanwhile new dGPUs are just skyrocketing in power far beyond them.

I made this chart to easily see relative performance of most common notebook GPUs:

http://alteredqualia.com/texts/notebooks/nvidia-gpus.png

Or if you are interested in both desktop and notebook GPUs relative performances:

http://alteredqualia.com/tools/gpus/

What Intel does is great for rising minimal specs you can expect in notebook graphics, but you can do much better than that, even cheap modern dGPUs wipe out the best iGPUs. You can extrapolate Skylake Iris Pro from Intel marketing claims vs older Iris Pros, it's going to be better but not Earth-shatteringly better.

And this gap is just going to get wider in 2016, with HBM2 and 16 nm node sizes finally coming to GPUs (both to Nvidia with Pascal and AMD with Arctic Islands).

How Cobenian Uses Elixir and Phoenix in Production

We call it phenomenology. The very base of any proper science. The rest is just a mechanical work of eliminating the noise from this data.

Science should never produce any knowledge which is not found in the original data (either passive observations or controlled experiments - does not really matter). The scientific method is all about techniques of extracting the most compact representation (i.e., the information) hidden inside this massive data sets. It turns out that the axiomatic theories are very common and compact representations for many areas of science, but not necessarily the universal representation.
I don't disagree, I was criticising the idea stated in the article that one can understand the economy without using theoretical models.

Machine Learning – Semi-Supervised Clustering
IKEv2 in iOS 9 and OS X El Capitan
Clustering is a canonical example of un-supervised machine learning methods. Un-supervised, as in, true clusters (segments) don’t exist or aren’t known in advance. Hence method tries to separate observations in different groups without any way to verify if model has done good job or not. There are various ways we can try to measure performance of un-supervised clustering: Within-Cluster-Sum-of-Squares is one, Silhouette Coefficient is another

I was wondering though, looking at the stack, if some parts couldn't be substituted with "lighter" alternatives? I'm assuming couchbase is being used for the changes feed and since you can't do adhoc querying you need "elastic search" for that, however wouldn't it be possible to replace both with just rehinkdb? Anyway I'm just speculating here, I should probably dig into the code.

Thanks for sharing this and keep up the good work!

Finagle: RPC Redux
But that's only his opinion of others. He divided people between those who are defined as creators and those who are not. And those who are not are reduced to their `taste' - and they are the one who narrow and exclude people ?!. But some people simply don't want to create, don't want to sprinkle the whole world with their little dot-me stickers.

All glory to the entreprecreator, the ubermensch of the internet.

Seriously, let people try to define who they are themselves. Not a quote, a guru or a motivational speaker who tell you `you are this, you are that, they are this, they are that'. Or worse, any artist trying to define himself through the impact of his works or personality on... others.
I agree! But the first step in a good decision is a clear understanding of the situation, and it is a barrier to understanding to just blanket-decide that procrastination is completely bad without even considering otherwise.

The library is very template heavy and thus most of the code is in the header files so I guess it wouldn't change much in this case?

Biggest issue - It takes work to use. People are lazy, standing and moving is not fun.

European e-commerce company Lengow secures €10M
There are problems that can only be avoided before the fact but not solved once they occur.

Austerity in the last few decades would have avoided the crisis but once you have more debt than you can ever afford to repay neither spending nor saving will do the trick and the only possible way forward is default.

Since you refer to Greece in your other comment - I am more concerned about the politics than about the economics, given they don't default even though they have a clear democratic mandate.

Isn't his point that there is a sort of uncertainty principle in economics? For example when you study people they behave differently and furthermore as soon as they think that you think that they will behave in a certain way they may well behave differently -- especially if there is financial gain at stake for changing their behaviour. As you say this all derives from the biggest problem with all the social sciences people are not rational actors and any mathematical model has to encapsulate real human behaviour.
Ask HN: Examples of web apps as composable data
Looking for more examples of a particular style of web app that is close to my heart. For lack of a better name, let's call them "composable data" apps.

These applications have (at their core) two functions: (1) collect a piece of data and (2) expose it in a useful way (usually with an API).

They tend to focus on atomic data units of a single type (they don't collect just anything).

I'll try to offer some examples since I think that my description may be unclear.

Last.fm (the old site)
atom: a song listened to
collection: automatic (scrobbled from media player)
expose: web app, API

Reading.am
https://www.reading.am
atom: article that you read
collection: manual (post to web app), automatic (hooks to Twitter/FB/etc)
expose: web app

Pinboard.in
https://pinboard.in
atom: url
collection: manual (post to web app), automatic (hooks to Twitter/FB/etc)
expose: web app, api

A good litmus test might be how cleanly they map to IFTTT or Zapier workflows. Looking for the Xs and Ys in "Add X to Y."

- Original Delicious? Atom was a URL

There is no "two's complement" in C. The representation of signed integers is implementation-defined. This is one reason why C has undefined behavior.

Imho it does not make sense anymore, since practically all hardware uses two's complement these days. If the standard would declare two's complement for signed integers, then shift-left would always have defined behavior, for example.
