I'm worried more about the way people are using the web while at work.

If somebody would have said a few decades ago that in 2000, every employee would have a television set on his desk, people would not have believed this person. However, the situation is actually much worse.

I feel weird because more and more I start to miss old tech. For many reasons, I feel there were beautiful ideas forgotten too soon (aka AlanKayism). I've also seen a few cycles (from osx aqua, flash, html5, java, js, flat, metro, material, etc, etc) so I'm past being excited for newness. I don't know if it's the absolute natural way of things now that I'm not part the current generation or if there's some value in these thoughts.

It's also natural for some to follow new trends for there's a lot of energy in exploring things 'a la mode'. But also not to be blinded into thinking old is useless. Progress is not an arrow, it's a wiggling hyperplane.
The lack of zoning in Houston has its upsides and downsides, but it has comparatively little to do with the sprawl. The sprawl is mostly a result of the manner by which Houston chose to grow: by annexing neighboring municipalities that were growing quickest to gobble up their tax dollars.

And even for all that famous sprawl, Houston is seeing the same sort of urban in-fill that every other major US metro area is seeing... it just has a lot more land to fill before it achieves similar density.
How does this pertain to TempleOS?

I mean, I totally understand where you're going with this: The world is so unfair to white people. "Straight Outta Compton" is a big box office hit, but Terry's not allowed to have racist diatribes whenever he feels like it, and it's a double standard because they're both using the n-word. Why can black people call each other that as a term of affection, but it's not okay for white people to use the same word as a slur?

Don't worry, you're like the 10 millionth person to go down that line of reasoning and I don't agree with it (bonus points for being even more confusing by throwing sexism into the mix) but I'm also not going to change your mind so it's cool, whatever.

None of what you said is wrong, but it also doesn't refute the central point: current WEC regulations are very much designed to make the LMP1 hybrid formula the premiere class. While there is a non-hybrid LMP1 formula, it is a distinctly lower performance class which exists to accommodate privateer teams who can't afford a complex hybrid system.
What do you mean with television set?
The invention of the car (and then of the plane)? Imagine the nostalgia for times when you had to walk for hours to meet someone across a city, or travels for days/weeks/months to meet far away places. Same with phones (and mobile phones), when you had to stick to a time you decided to meet somewhere, and you didn't show up... Good old times. Transportation and communication are really one thing, and any significant advancement in them will have the feeling. I will be remembering my youth, before VR, before shuttles/portals to Mars, whatever the future will bring.

The way we look at the changes is much more tied to us than the change. You can always flip a coin and think of how marvelous these changes might seem to people in the past: "While I'm sitting in cafe with someone I can simultaneously communicate with someone else half-way across the globe? Wonderful!"
I think the more illustrative comparison is with the i7 920, which came out in 2008. In the intervening 7 years, there's only been a ~160% improvement by the standard given. That's a rate of 23% improvement per year, rather than the 130% per year that your example implies. Most of the improvement from the Athlon 64 X2 3800+ to current CPUs was concentrated in the release of the Nehelem architecture.

The i7 920 was an incredible step forward, but progress has stalled since its release.
Oh wow, okay this I wasn't aware of. I think there are differences on the emphasis of P.E. and recess at the moment in different countries. I was a lazy little kid in school, especially in the winter. The thought of getting ready for P.E. would bore me. But once I'd get started, and as soon as I finished, I'd feel a massive difference over the next 24 hours. Oxbridge, two of the best universities in the world limit (from what I have heard) most lectures to 45-50 mins. If the world's elite are saying they need a break, surely children and young people's needs are clear. It's not what you do, it's how you do it at the end of the day. I'm sure that if final year exams has taught me one thing, it's cramming, without a break, no matter how much information I try to get into my mind, is pointless. The sad thing is I'm sure many of those attempting to raise the test scores have crammed for finals too ... they've just forgotten.
Thanks a lot for the insight lawtguy.
I was never even taught this "trick." The language used is shitty.

The way I was taught, dividing a fraction by a fraction is equivalent to multiplying the first fraction by the second fraction's reciprocal. It's easy to check this yourself. "Just cross multiply!" is ridiculous...

What do you mean with "staying up"? It is not like you control what is staying up, nor that this is a site where stuff is deleted according to that criteria. That is why your comment is sounding that strange, which explains the downvotes. Has nothing to do with downvote frenzy.

That's not an argument. I mean, there's a similar trap in thinking that anything new is good (or neutral).

I don't particularly care about other people's behavior (and I don't have this problem with friends/family), but I can certainly see how it would annoy people, and probably even detract from the experience of the person who is doing it.

Forgive my ignorance, but if the fab generation ahead was already invented, and (my understanding is) a new fab process requires completely new machinery, what stopped AMDAMD, whoever, from "skipping" a generation to catch up with Intel?
The title and thesis don't match the data. This has nothing to do with whether a corporation is privately or publicly held, and everything to do with where it is in its lifecycle. The actual assertion made, which the evidence does match, is that younger companies are harder to value because uncertainty over growth and future margins is much higher. Seems pretty obvious.
I don't recall Terry ever being racist. He uses nigger a lot, but it doesn't seem directed at black people. It's used as a generalized insult. Just as someone describing poor tech as "lame" isn't against cripples. So while I hear that people find the very syllables upsetting, there seems to be no racism actually here. I'd hope people on HN (and people we want on HN) would be capable of understanding this.

(And anyways, Terry's accounts all get hellbanned here, so it's just links and discussion of his cool work. Except for these low-signal threads that will hopefully be detached as off topic.)
To add, seems things are going in the right direction after all:

I don't accept your interpretation of my words. I acknowledged the possibility of mental illness being a reason for his racism. I don't know it as a definite fact, I doubt psychology is at the state where anyone could.

I've said elsewhere in this thread that (as Robert Sapolsky notes) those with frontal cortex damage to their brains sometimes commit heinous violent crime. That brain damage might be a reason, but doesn't make it ok for them to commit violent crime. It may be completely beyond their control.

His behaviour is unacceptable. I do not accept racist abuse as being acceptable behaviour. Do you?

Hack on Larry Lessig's crowd funded and open source 2016 Presidential Campaign
I don't use "quick-and-dirty" as a derogatory term, so mostly I mean no error checking for rare occurrences or not ensuring correct values are being passed through. An example would be in Python if I just write MatrixA * MatrixB without any checking. I should check that they are both matrices if that is what I want, and that is what I did for reusable code. For one-off data analysis or computation, no-checking is certainly quick.
That gave me a chuckle. I see a little Machiavelli and some Sun Tzu in there too though.
Okay, I read the third post, and it seems like he's saying that he is not a white nationalist but is not afraid to read them.

Okay, fine. I don't see why this is so big and scary.

Personally I think the reason Curtis's writings provoke so much hategasm around here is... well... "methinks you doth protest too much."

If hackerdom and Greater Silicon Valley were bastions of diversity and tolerance, nobody would give a shit about Curtis's alter-persona or any eccentric views he might hold. But they're not bastions of diversity. They're really really really really not.

Back when my own venture was getting off the ground, I did this as part of recruiting research:

https://github.com/adamierymenko/headhunter

I ended up with a monster list of GitHub profiles and projects in the SoCal area, so I started going through them. White dude, white dude, white dude, asian dude, white dude, white dude... I saw probably 2/3 white dudes, 1/3 asian/Indian dudes, and I could count on one hand the number of women I saw without running out of fingers. I mean there are practically no women on GitHub. This is not the result of bigotry on my part. I applied no filter. They are just not there. Why?

There is no significant statistical IQ difference between women and men. There are loads of women in biotech (another field I've studied), and trust me it is no easier than this one. There are more women in aerospace, in actual rocket science. There is no biological or neurological reason there should be no women who hack. There's something wrong here.

Dig a bit and it's not hard to see. Hackerdom is really misogynistic and perhaps also somewhat racist, though the misogyny is in my experience by far the dominant -ism. I mean I am a card carrying penis owner and it annoys me at times.

I think the tech field is self-conscious about this. To cover it over we've applied this thin bullshit veneer of twee politically correct nonsense, and anyone who openly refuses to tow that party line gets scapegoated and blacklisted. But that stuff doesn't work. All it does is drive the bad stuff underground, creating today's spectacle of a field that plays endless lip service to equality and diversity but is made up almost entirely of young white and asian men.
> I know of literally nobody my age who would ever think this.

I think that's precisely the point of the article. If you are in fact in the middle of a conversation with someone, then it is polite to pay attention. If you don't want to be in a conversation with them, then exit the conversation (i.e. tell them that you don't have time and walk away). Pretending to pay attention while doing nothing of the sort cheapens the interaction.
You Are Not Alone Across Time: Using Sophocles to Treat PTSD (2014)
I'm not sure if this is meant to be /s, but I'm 24, and I find this behavior offensive as well. When I'm having a conversation with someone, yes, I would like to have their attention, and I'd surely give them mine.
You are definitely judging the book by its cover. If you follow the link, the full book has a lot more "tricks" and "solutions". The cross-multiply one is just an example. Of course many of them are culture/location dependent, but I'm sure you will find ones that you are familiar with.
> Since they contain energy, they in turn have mass,

That is not true...

> and a gravitational field of their own.

... although this is.

It's energy that creates a gravitational field, of which mass is a (usually dominant) subset. It does not mean anything with energy has mass. See: light.

Edit: also, the basic theory of gravitional waves is "linearized", which means that this kind of self-interaction is weak. That doesn't mean it doesn't happen, but it wouldn't resemble radiation if the effect is strong.

Could we do this?  Open source replacement for iTunes
I've had it with iTunes for a long time now. I understand the original concept of managing your music (for the iPod) but when the iPhone was introduced it was shoehorned in to create this burgeoning monstrosity.

It says it wants a new download of iTunes, some 50 megs, often asking for QuickTime which doesn't always relate, and it's awkward in general.

I'd be happy to lead (or help lead) an effort - assuming it's legal to do this - to break apart the phone management from the music management.

If so, anyone interested, and what would you like to see as a result? Or, if not, what do you forsee the obstacles as?

> Actually there is plenty of evidence that texting and social media offer a similar kick as several other addictions like smoking, etc.

Habitual behavior in general forms because of "a similar kick". The main difference between a habit and an addiction is whether the habit is seen as adaptive or maladaptive.
I guess it is saying that people are going straight to the "trick" (multiply the reciprocal) instead of understanding that they are applying the fact that:

a / (b/c) = a * (c / b) (a in Q, b,c in N and b <> 0)

And that they therefore have a less rich understanding of when the rule is applicable and when it isn't appropriate. (Such as a situation where b is actually zero, perhaps if it's "hidden" in another form like x-y.
Why would people choose to speak to strangers when they can communicate electronically with their friends 24/7? The fact is that whether you're introverted or extroverted, phones now suit all your needs as both a device to keep you occupied and as a means of communication.
Has your stance on one-based array indexing changed in those 6 years? How many off-by-one issues have you encountered?

That's a reasonable and nuanced criticism not of what I did but the subtleties of how I did it. You are entitled to it. Other than to suggest someone reading what I wrote would not be warned, I think that over reaches your point by a margin.

I am similarly entitled to note that you did not write such a warning in whatever style you advocate and neither did anyone else. I'm comfortable standing by my noting his behaviour is unacceptable, because it is.
I've never heard of most of the tricks mentioned and agree they seem like terrible things to teach, but calling cross multiplication a trick seems bizarre.
Cross multiplication is multiplying by the reciprocal. In neither case do you have to understand what you're doing. You can make this complaint about every arithmetic operation.
Show HN: Superlumic, an Ansible script to ease automated OS X installs
> Though automakers say they know of no malicious hacking incidents so far, the risks are real. Stefan Savage, a computer security professor at the University of California, San Diego, said that automakers were “in a state of panic” over the prospect. “They are trying to figure out what to do, quickly,” he said.

It's going to take a long time to pay down decades worth of technical debt.

What are you worried about? In my experience many jobs simply don't have 8 hours worth of work to do in a day, so there's downtime. (And the ones that do have 8 hours+ worth of actual work to do, without breaks, are the ones that pay near minimum wage and are a bit terrible). Since you're on hacker news I presume you're aware that it is nigh-impossible for a programmer to just program in flow state 8 hours a day every day 5-7 days a week. I usually get 4 hours of good work out of myself on bad days, 6-10 on great days or under deadline pressure, but can't keep that up many days in a row.

Entitlement, for lack of a better word, can be good. When you don't get your basic needs or rights fulfilled or when you have done a good job, but are undervalued, and say "show me the money". In this case though, I think he got stuck in an academic mindset were success is almost guaranteed based on past achievements and some effort.

All of his lesson seem to be focused on them not understanding his proposal and that he would have gotten what he wanted if he had just presented it differently. In reality they probably just had some standard compensation package that most people accepted so they could get in and pay their dues.

Yes, low initial compensation in certain industries can be bad. But it's mostly bad for the people who can't take the opportunity.
The 'we' refers to the international community of which the US is the biggest--but not the only--influencer. I don't see what US bases have to do with the US condemning the atrocities in the middle east, especially in a post-oil world. I think the US will want to keep its bases there and probably will, but there won't any strong incentives to keep them there like we have now. There certainly won't be any incentives to trade with countries in the middle east like Saudi Arabia because they have absolutely nothing to trade other than oil. In that situation, I'm quite sure we'll finally call them out (hypocritically, of course) on their human rights abuses and their essential enslavement of women.
I'm in the millennial-age range and am quite irritated when someone sits on their phone when we're meeting in person.

Electronic/social communication is, by its very nature, asynchronous. You can send a message and there's generally little pressure for an immediate response. Face to face conversations are synchronous and when you do something on your laptop/phone/tablet you break the flow of the conversation.
Unless that storage is some form of physical cash horde, it's never been "removed" from the economy in the first place so a "return" is a meaningless concept.

What exactly makes you a non-conformist?

- Do you wear your pants on your chest and shirts on your legs?
- Do you actively proclaim that pedophilia is perfectly acceptable?

In my opinion, non-conformist is just another label, which sounds awfully conformist when you think about it.

Some people conform for stupid reasons (e.g. a need to feel accepted), but sometimes you find a group of like-minded individuals with similar interests. What then? Do you conform or not? What if you earnestly have the same interests?

Simple solution: How about just do/like whatever you like, and don't try to make everyone think you're a special snowflake? Because the majority of people in the world frankly don't give a shit.
