Mary Beard, although approaching national treasure status in the UK, is pretty left-wing in her political opinions.

EG:

Shortly after the 11 September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, Beard was one of several authors invited to contribute articles on the topic to the London Review of Books. She opined that many people, once "the shock had faded", thought "the United States had it coming", and that "[w]orld bullies, even if their heart is in the right place, will in the end pay the price"[11] (the so-called "Roosting Chickens argument").

You spotted the weak link in this flowchart: "Could YOUR answer (or silence) be used to make it look like YOU committed a CRIME". There is no way to know. When cop comes and casually talks to you, he may not even consider you a suspect until later.

If you follow the watertight route, you may never talk to police: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wXkI4t7nuc You must have constant adversary attitude towards police asking questions in every situation.
In practice people never do that and usually nothing bad happens, but still... It's part of the good police work to be casual and make people feel that people are jerks if they don't cooperate.

> It's really not.

I'm going to have to disagree. My point wasn't that reddit is becoming facebook or youtube, but that it is in the same ballpark as far as traffic goes. And if you're at a quarter billion unique hits every month, you are playing with the big boys. The point was one of relativity - reddit is a huge global website and not some small community.

Since it is so huge, we shouldn't treat it as some small BBS. Just because reddit doesn't have the exact same traffic as youtube doesn't invalidate my point.
Well, they missed the direction of ice cap change. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out that they misunderstood this one too.

"it matches with humanity's tradition too"

I suppose you mean with the traditional way money is explained, that is very probably wrong.

The idea that first was barter and then people started to use precious metals doesn't match the historical evidence.

There is strong evidence that money is invented in the first states in parallel with writing and numbers in order to register debts. (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumer :
"Several centuries after the invention of cuneiform, the use of writing expanded beyond debt/payment certificates and inventory lists to be applied for the first time, about 2600 BC, to messages and mail delivery, history, legend, mathematics, astronomical records, and other pursuits.")

Metals (strong money) are not necessary and if fact was not the most used system for most part of the history (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tally_stick#Split_tally_in_Eng... )

So, the gold thing doesn't match humanity's tradition until very recently. This is controversial, I think, because it has political implications.

Yes, I figured out that Firehose is more higher-level product, than Kinesis. Maybe in the future it will be extended with API to read from a delivery stream.

There are competing products, like Google Cloud Pub/Sub where there is no need to manage shards manually or run your own workers, like KCL.
Both are to blame. Neither are to blame. Much of the success of Linux has been attributed to the GPL. It certainly had a role to play in opening up WRT firmware.

The truth is that the GPL is a pretty restrictive license. I don't think it's fair to blame anyone for the fact that it's not compatible with much. That's its defining feature and the main reason people choose it; so if it blocks ZoL, it's working as intended.

Which I consider a great loss. ZFS is fantastic.

I use the BSD 2-clause license on my own stuff, but I can think of situations where I'd rather use GPL.

After Perelman's proof, there have been some "filling in of details". [1] Would you say that Perelman's proof is comparable, and that he could also have been more pedagogical? Do you see any parallel at all?

It sounds to me as if you are implying, that it is Mochizuki's responsebility to be pedagogical. If being pedagogical is good (because it is more social?), how is mathematics different from any other discipline? Surely one ought to be social in every regard.

If the proof turn out to be correct, would you still say Mochizuki communicated it wrong?

Constructive feedback about the video and website (if the founders are reading)... I'm probably not the target demographic since I don't know much about cameras, but the video did not quickly explain to me why this camera was so special aside from me seeing multiple lenses; I would have just turned it off after the 15 second mark (even if I saw this on Product Hunt) if this wasn't posted on HN. It felt like the video didn't really convey anything and I couldn't help but feel that it was a waste of my time watching it to the end. Of course it could just be me.

If only this was front and center on their webpage (it took me a really long time to find this):

"With 16 individual cameras, 10 of them firing simultaneously, the L16 captures the detail of your shot at multiple fixed focal lengths. Then the images are computationally fused to create an incredible high-quality final image with up to 52 megapixel resolution."

So you can fit a camera with the power of a DSLR in your pocket now, while having the same ease of use as a smart phone?

As a quick fix: drop the video and fix your site so that you can explain why your camera is so special at the top of the page. Use the image gallery as quick proof right after the explanation.
OK so the answer is I don't understand drug testing :)

My understanding was: you need the placebo to compare to to counter out the placebo effect (i.e. if you only test "real drug vs. nothing", the real drug might show an improvement purely due to placebo and have no actual effect itself). But introducing more variables... surely there are lots of other variables there regardless? If you ran a test of "placebo vs. nothing" what variables come in that wouldn't be there for "placebo vs. drug"?
Tes, the "raw" data in this case would just be a bunch of sensor readouts from the different sensors. In order to make a useful image you would simply need a computer version of the same software that sits in the camera. The same is true for all raw converters: they do the same job as the camera would when snapping a jpeg. In this case, a bit more involved than just applying a mapping and sensor pattern filter like a normal digital camera, but still essentially the same thing.
> In 1996, patients in clinical trials reported that drugs relieved their pain by 27% more than did a placebo. But by 2013, that gap had slipped to just 9%.

Wait, this can be read as "Drugs are less efficient" just as well as "Placebo are more efficients".
Hmm, I've found fastmail to be generally buggy. The latest incident is their calendar doesn't interoperate with outlook; fastmail was off by an hour from an exchange invite. (And while the exchange invite did look correct to me, if the bug is exchange's the problem is fastmail's given the relative market shares.)

CalDav is also shoddily implemented; for example, on android using fastmail's recommended 3rd party caldav sync, creating a meeting on your phone (calendar client using caldav to sync to fastmail calendar) will not send meeting invites. Surprise!

FastMail's message compose is also unusable on mobile firefox if there is quoted text in the compose area.

I use it because I'm removing google products from my life; you should just watch for the above bugs.

I wonder what the pixel density on these sensors is like.

Because even if you have a bunch of small sensors combined with software, they will still be noisy, and low light performance will be bad if they are standard small sensors

Ask HN: Any recommendations on good C projects?
As a part of my college course I just wrote basic code for converting assembly code into machine code and I really enjoyed it. I felt closer to the machine. I am really interested in doing more projects like this which involve low level programming and help in improving your understanding of how actually the hardware and machine works. Any cool ideas/recommendations will be more than welcome.
You are right. I see a huge potential in Rust. It seems very suitable for the C++ level domains. The only thing keeping me away from production usage today is the lack maturity with ecosystem and libraries.
You want a link? Here is one,

http://www.bradford-delong.com/2015/03/time-for-a-rant-why-o...

The short answer is a run on safe assets like gold creates a positive feedback loop. A demand short fall causes people to try to acquire safe assets like gold. Spending 'money' on gold means money not spent on real goods and services. Which results in a demand shortfall. And people wanting safe assets to park their wealth.

Rinse lather repeat till 1/4 of workforce is unemployed. A central bank can print or lend out any amount of paper money to satisfy investors craving for safe assets. It can't make more gold.

Why not have both? Problem: Trying to peg the money supply to the price of gold hamstrings the central banks ability to supply paper. Lesson learned 1929-1939. And learned again by Argentina in 2000 with a US dollar peg serving as a de facto gold standard.
Wow! This seems cool and potentially very useful.

A lot of "how do we fix academia" discussions might be (kind of) asking the wrong questions. Academia is a very wide cover over a lot of varied things. That cover is an institution. It has values, rules and ways of doing things. There might not be anything wrong with the institution per se, rather its success has brought to many things under its cover. For people, idea or pursuits that don't really belong there, it seems broken.

Take publishing. Publishing is a great practice and a lot of the conventions around it are really useful. But, it's not the only way to make information available, accessible, trustworthy, etc. There are other ways that might make more sense for some other project.

Tests at two midsized Wisconsin roasteries that agreed to let the news organization analyze the air in their production areas found diacetyl levels from unflavored roasted coffee that exceeded safety standards proposed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Why, why would these commercial roasters allow a "news organization" to analyze the air? Maybe you allow - maybe - a scientific-based organization to do the testing but a news organization has an agenda. Full stop.

"Boss, can I go analyze the air down at Big Coffee Roaster's facility?"

"What for?"

"I read this comment on reddit about diactyl - it's supposedly really bad and most people don't know about it. I bet it's all over that facility and they don't know it."

"This could be huge - make sure you bring back something good..."
The capital-O Other is our capital-E Enemy. They stand for everything we don't stand for.

Jokes aside, it seems that has been a growing awareness for the concept of "othering," as in emphasizing the difference between your ingroup (AKA Us, AKA people like you) and an outgroup (AKA Them). Unfortunately it has little to do with the relatively benign idea you might be thinking about.
I think it's interesting as a concept, not as a product. If the iPhone 8 comes with four lenses on its back, each with a small sensor, and that means it can use all four to take high-iso pics in near darkness, or fire an individual sensor+lens to take tele or closeups in good lighting etc., then that would certainly be interesting as a product.
I suspect this is more about fashion.

There are literally hundreds of theories as to why Rome fell. Here's a list http://www.utexas.edu/courses/rome/210reasons.html
> but systems that eschew relativity and focus on universal principles (as defined by the philosophy) are more likely to value freedom over prior restraint.

Every system of ethics contains a relative ordering of values (the alternative is having a single value or none) to decide how to act when values conflict. "Freedom" is not such a well-defined (single) value -- i.e. it contains internal contradictions -- and therefore requires finer-grained prioritization at the very least, because all it implies is a lack of restraint, which is impossible in a system with more than one principal (two individuals can't both be completely unrestrained as it yields a logical contradiction: one is either allowed to restrain the other or not, either choice contradicts lack of restraint).

In short, anarcho-capitalism most certainly doesn't value speech over freedom from intimidation absolutely. It might have different relative priorities of different forms of speech vs. different forms or measures of intimidation. But this is just a difference in measure. An example that requires resolving the contradiction with prioritization is as follows: am I allowed to say, "if you deny evolution, I will stab you"? Prohibiting this speech is a restriction of speech, and allowing this speech is also a restriction of speech (and bear in mind that every kind of law requires intimidation for enforcement -- otherwise laws are not laws, but voluntary behavior -- so we have two options here, both involving intimidation, and both involving speech). This applies even in anarchic systems that don't have laws at all, up until the point that you get an anarchic system that has no values (other than individual values).

The latter, BTW, is my personal preference, but short of that I prefer a socialist liberal democracy. Any system that places the limit at physical violence (basically all American-style libertarian thought) seems to me to be both arbitrary and not truly anarchic (i.e. far from free). And if we can't have true anarchy, we might as well prioritize freedoms in a more principled way. Drawing a single line at physical violence to me seems not only arbitrary but ignorant of how social systems work (both human and animal), where freedoms are often restrained but only rarely through physical violence (and commonly through intimidation). This can be easily observed empirically.
Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

My favorite Hoare quote given at his ACM award speech in 1980, referring to his work in Algol during the late 60's:

"Many years later we asked our customers whether they wished us to provide an option to switch off these checks in the interests of efficiency on production runs.
Unanimously, they urged us not to - they already knew how frequently subscript errors occur on production runs where failure to detect them could be disastrous. I note with fear and horror that even in 1980, language designers and users have not learned this lesson. In any respectable branch of engineering, failure to observe such elementary precautions would have long been against the law."

It seems the ECJ has plenty of room to invalidate the invalidation [1], but I find this case fascinating in that the courts may be put into an impossible situation of reconciling civilian privacy law against foreign intelligence activities that will likely never formally be acknowledge.

My take away was that the main point against safe harbor is that EU citizens have no legal standing or other access to recourse against US companies accused of breaches, so it does not provide an equivalent level of protection as the charter is supposed to provide.
I first read about his proof a year or two ago. I'm surprised so little progress has been made. Is there no formal collaborative effort in trying to verify his proof?

This seems like an opportunity to me. Host the proof (and ones like it) and allow commentators to annotate and explain parts, and then replace all the ambiguous parts with formal explanations.
I definitely agree, and get the feeling that the company culture now is more about building the right innovation for users than spinning the same products for more revenue.
There are several problems with double-blind testing that have become apparent in the last few years, and that call for a new standard testing procedure.

Double-blind rests, among others, on the assumption that a) placebo effects are independent of and additive with actual drug-effects, b) placebo effects are nulled when participants know they're being given a placebo.

Although I'm currently without sources (hopefully I can rectify this soon) both a and b are actually false.
Certain drugs have been found to interact with placebo, which decreases or enhances their effects, thus again conflating the medicative effects of the drugs being administered and the effects of actually taking a pill (or rather going through the process of administering medication).

Second, placebo has become such a household term, that the original meaning as a "fake" effect, seems to have been lost. Logically this makes sense, because its the end result that matters (being cured), not the way in which the drug is effective (placebo or not). The average person being told they're receiving a placebo can actually increase the placebo effect, rather than nulling it.

A second variable should be introduced in double-blind studies, to account for both factors I mentioned above. Variable 1 should be whether or not they're receiving the actual drug (1a) or a placebo drug (1b) (as double-blind currently tests for) and variable 2 should be whether participants are told that they're receiving the actual drug (2a), or a placebo drug (2b).

Testing the effects of combination 1a/2b vs 1b/2a should test whether the drug actually interacts with a placebo effect. Providing a measure of validity for the 1a/2a vs 1b/2a test.

HN,

With an overwhelming amount of tech news being reported every day - I have always struggled to find the time to read the articles, even when I want to.

So I created a solution for myself where I extract key points of the articles and present them as bullet points, for readability. I figured others might be feeling the same way, so I am making it available publicly.

I update it every hour. I would really appreciate any suggestions on improvement. I look forward to hearing your thoughts/feedback.
