I think this largely depends on the tire's "side surface" as well.

For instance, my motorcycle's tires are not race tires, but street tires. The bottom of the tire only goes up the "side" for a limited distance. If I lean too far the side of my tire no longer touches the ground

Also, the lean angle would have to be related to the foot peg size. My current foot peg is quite long--even for mild lean angles somestimes I can feel the road scratching on my boots and the foot peg.

You're right in that evenness is divisibility by two by definition. For any P which is prime, P is the smallest divisible by P.

It is probably that divisibility by two (evenness) is interesting.

For example, it has the property that if we know the evenness of two integers, then we know the evenness of their sum or product.

Division of cases by even versus odd occurs regularly; in few circumstances do you have to separately reason about cases corresponding somehow to the elements of the congruence modulo 37.
What happened in and around 1973?

* End of the Vietnam war. Deep reductions in the draft released many young men into the workforce and allowed them to start businesses. During the war, only being an exempt student or employed in an essential job could keep you out of the way of bullets.

* The beginning of mass immigration. After the long pause between the 1924 immigration act and the 1965 act, immigration ramped up again. Mass Latin American immigration stepped up -- documented and undocumented -- in the 1970s and continued rising. Dozens of work visa programs brought in Asian and European workers.

* End of the gold exchange standard in 1971. Gold didn't actually circulate but was a synecdoche for the Bretton Woods system of fixed exchange rates. Bretton Woods kept world currencies stable and made trade very hard to sustain because currency values couldn't adjust to compensate for imbalances. Soon the European currencies would float entirely free and world trade would be able to take advantage of differential wages more easily.

* China opened. Mao Tse-Tung was getting senile by 1970 and progressives in China opened up the economy under his nose. By the late 1970s, radical leftist Deng Hsiao-Ping had seized control of the country and implemented the wholesale neoliberal reforms that have turned China from a land of North Korean and Mauritanian backwardness into a modern wealthy nation leading the world. Competition from China could be affecting wages all over.

* The first Mideast oil crisis was in 1973. The USA reached peak oil production in 1970 and started to decline, though Prudhoe Bay created a brief recovery later on.

Who’ll Put Out Company Fires When Tech Workers Are at Burning Man?

Because the supply of capital is kept restricted to ensure that there is not an excess of demand for labor. Do you think the ruling classes are idiots?

When labor was given control of the central banks after the Great Depression we had 40 years of massive growth in productivity and wages. Once the capitalists took back control in the 1970s (after the threat of expropriation had receded) they quickly got things back on track and ever since wages have stagnated while profits have soared.
Sorry for the delay - was on a break from HN

Yes, I think you are right, the availability of XML/ws-* acted as a magnet for people who required extensive schemas, etc.

I agree that JSON is a great starting place for the rest of us who don't have such immediate needs for complexity and get can by with it. But I think eventually software growth then pushes them to more complex interchange format, e.g. JSON schema.

I think that there is progress, with JSON on the simpler side, and now newer formats like ProtoBufs, Thrift and mechanisms such as RPC - we do seem to be learning from the past. It does feel that perhaps we do swing from one extreme to another - first RPC was great and CORBA came and went, following this the perception was that it was utterly unsuitable for anything, until perhaps the introduction of ProtoBufs, Thift, JSON-RPC and so on. I personally think it can be incredibly useful, but deciding on just the right features to keep things manageable is incredibly difficult (more so than the tech itself I believe).

We're no fans of JSON-Schema either, I've thought about it a few times but it feels over-complicated. Instead we've settled/forked a criminally overlooked system called Barrister RPC (http://barrister.bitmechanic.com/). This just supports basic JSON types, structs created from their aggregate, and optional nullability. It has worked great so far, although we may expand shortly to add more numeric types. You can try it live at http://www.stackhut.com (source at http://www.github.com/StackHut) - would love to hear your thoughts re the schema/RPC layer.
The separation of "Firefox" (brand, UI, browser history, password sync, extensions, etc) from "Gecko" (an implementation of a rendering engine) seems like a good idea to me, even if it was forced by Apple.

Gecko stands for nothing; it's just code. Whereas the Mozilla / Firefox brand stands for things like privacy, security, etc. (https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/)

The Firefox/Mozilla brand shouldn't be tied to Gecko or any other specific piece of code.

Evolution, the process to which we owe our intelligence, is ultimately a dumb search process itself. It has no concept or understanding of what it creates, and yet, it still creates.

Thus, I fail to see why some sort of fundamental understanding of intelligence is required in order to create it. On the contrary, it's not hard to imagine genetic algorithms combined with neural networks being used in a similar fashion, provided there's sufficient data and computing power available.

The line segment representing the radius of a circle perfectly describes a circle. That does not mean a line segment is the same as a circle.

Aha, but there is a territory here: the abstract circle. Now suppose we equate that territory with another territory: something in the real world. Then we have a description of a circle (the map), but two different territories. If we say those are the same, it's not a map/territory confusion. At best it is a territory/territory confusion.

The description of the math will never be the math; but the correct math may in fact coincide with reality.

If a mathematical model of the world is completely accurate, then the math which it describes is the world. The world doesn't have any properties which the math doesn't and vice versa; it doesn't "do" anything which the math doesn't.

That is rather naive. The entire succession of moments can be described as one object, in which time is a dimension. The unfolding through time is just the subjective experience of the human consciousness.

Depends, personally I'd see the number of times the US and USSR nearly went to war (or actually did, but indirectly) despite having nuclear weapons as pretty good indication that lack of any feasible strategy for inflicting a decisive military defeat on the other party was a much more significant factor in the Cold War not turning hot than any nuke-induced desire for peace

Ultimately, one naval officer's minority vote[1] prevented a Soviet sub from launching a tactical nuclear weapon at US shipping. Several thousand miles of ocean prevented the Soviet Union from feasibly achieving decisive military victory against the United States.

It is a very interesting question. The reason is what is known as regulatory capture. This is normally thought of as the regulators being captured by the industry they are trying to regulate, but it is really more a symbiotic relationship between both sides. Through regulation the large pharmaceutical companies can keep out the competition from any small pharmaceutical companies, while the regulators gain a nice job and importance.

The only losers here are the public since we miss out on cheap effective drugs because the regulations make them too expensive to produce for most diseases and people.

Note, when I say "blew Intel out of the water", I'm talking only about AMD64 K8.

As I understand it, this was true for "Big Iron" AMD64 sales, for one thing, AMD had a whole year's head start where they were the only ones selling it, and then Intel played catch up for a long time. For multi-chip machines, not until Intel had their own version of the Hypertransport + local memory controller architecture.

I believe what you're talking about only happened in consumer grade chips, although I know HP for instance found a way to sell AMD based consumer systems, my parents bought one in 2004-5.

I am advocating for more drugs, not less.

I'm willing to be generous to parent to the point of allowing that a specimen of sufficiently greater intelligence may have difficulty empathizing with your average human and regard them as lesser. Much in the same way that we tend to regard apes or mice as lesser than ourselves.

> If current mathematics is unable to describe physics, then new mathematics is invented

Now suppose that this process stops. One day, mathematics describes physics. What does that mean? It means that some pencil-and-paper mathematics descriptions hint at an abstraction, and that abstraction is physics.

The mathematics which was used prior to that point was not the right one. That mathematics still corresponds to a universe, just not this one.

The idea is that every mathematical object is a universe (not to be confused with some representation of that object, like a definition in plain language, or a diagram,
equation).

The world may be exactly the same category of thing as dodecahedron or pi. (Not in the category of pencil-and-paper description of such things; the category of those thing themselves.)

$ history |wc -l

This is just from my work machine (~4 years old), my history is not centralized but after seeing all this I think I'm going to work it into my centralized dotfiles system.

Also, I can confirm that gigantic bash histories don't affect the speed of anything.

Super useful/essential tweaks -

export HISTCONTROL=erasedups
export HISTSIZE="NOTHING"
export HISTFILESIZE="NOTHING"`
shopt -s histappend
export PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a;echo'

erasedups will erase any earlier instance of an indentical command, keeping your history file lean. Setting HISTSIZE and HISTFILESIZE to something nonnumeric makes for no limits. histappend appends to the HISTFILE when the shell session exits. And my prompt command appends each executed command to HISTFILE immediately after it's executed. With histappend, this may be redundant. (The prompt command also gives me a blank line after each command finishes.)

The writeup mentions that concurrent attempts to update a row will be discussed in a future post. The simplified discussion here says that a writer who encounters a write intent of an uncommitted transaction aborts the concurrent transaction.

I believe also that non-repeatable reads would be a potential problem. A transaction could read a row, then read it a second time; if a concurrent, committed transaction mutated the row, the repeated read will return a different result.

I believe that both these problems would be solved by MVCC which I suspect is the next blog post.

Because I'm only in those languages infrequently I sometimes forget some basic syntax, or mix it up with syntax from one of the other languages from that list. I end up Googling newbie things like "write array literal in php" or "concatenate strings in javascript".

I don't think we know why this is not happening. The author of the paper doesn't seem to know either. The data simply shows this huge and growing gap between worker productivity and wages.

Are you questioning the accuracy of the data? Perhaps it's not been measured correctly and wages actually HAVE been going up in proportion to productivity since 1973.
Ask HN: How much should I sell a domain to a startup for?
I was recently emailed about a domain that I own and had originally purchased awhile ago with intent to build a social application.

I'm not using it currently but still own it and randomly was just emailed asking if I would sell it to a startup drone company with the same domain but with .io

I haven't sold any domains before so I'm wondering how much should I ask for to sell this domain? The company says they are launching in a few weeks and they have a semi-active twitter feed. It's clear they are in the enterprise drone space and most likely will be offering logistics/command/data services around this area. The founder's linkedin list raytheon among other aerospace/tech background etc etc.

I don't want to ask anything ridiculous but at the same time the money could really help me out in my own startup. Is 10k realistic? 15k? 20k?

How do I properly start negotiation? Let him pitch first? (through email)

Interestingly as a co-founder of a startup I am in the same boat as I own a .io domain but cannot acquire the .com we are seeking.

Any advice appreciated!
