I was talking about changing the age-range to ~45-65 on the linked chart. Do you think that relative lifespan differences are still relevant at that age range? I'd guess it'd have more to do with partner selection bias than male partners dying off more quickly, but I don't know.
I certainly don't know enough about the site to say definitively one way or another, but I wouldn't be surprised. This sort of scenario reminds me of Airbnb taking customers from Craigslist [1] or Uber employing "ghosts" to fuck with competitors (cancel rides and poach drivers) [2]. Of course there's no evidence of Udemy doing anything this shady, it just wouldn't be outside the realm of what some tech companies have been up to lately.

Our entire data processing pipeline is actually written in perl (that is several 10s of thousands of lines of code). So is the subcomponent that actually pipes the data to Geckoboard.
I would love to see a rule where the software that each team uses has to be open-sourced at the end of the season, both to ensure competitive parity between well funded and not-so-well-funded teams, and also to ensure that any breakthroughs spread quickly from the world of racing to the world of "normal" cars.
I strongly suspect that the main reason for trying to blame Mr. Snowden is to distract from the complete and utter failure of intelligence agencies to prevent the attack (and other attacks before, of course).

The one remotely plausible reason given for the monstrous surveillance apparatus is prevention of terrorist attacks, and once the public starts noticing how that does not really work, we might start having a debate on what we can really do to prevent such attacks, like, oh, maybe trying to understand the root causes that drive people to blow themselves up.
Current F1 is going that route where the drivers are more and more exchangeable because the tech has gotten so far and fans really don't like it and the sport is losing popularity and some would say soul.

While i would find autonomous racing exciting as well, it is not something the general public would be excited about.

If it weren't for regulations, i am sure F1 would already be like this or close to it. Compared to public traffic, race tracks are quite easy to master for AI. They had active suspension systems and traction control in the early nineties where the driver was already reduced to mostly just pushing the pedal and steering but the FIA banned most of those driver aids because real human driving skill and error is just more exciting to the general public.
If your vehicle is in a car park, it needs some way to connect to the net. It might make sense to have wifi for home use - but does your network stretch out to your garage?
I don't even think that it is only the non-traded sectors (e.g. Wikipedia, Facebook, online dating) where we've gained massive utility that is not tracked in GDP.

Consider medicine. In the official statistics, medicine drastically drags down (real) GDP by contributing heavily to inflation. But I propose that medicine has suffered deflation which is just not captured by existing inflation measurements. Note that absolutely no hedonic adjustment is applied to medical costs in official statistics - if we move from dying a painful death (cost $10) to taking a magic pill that solves all the problems (cost $100), that's treated as 900% inflation.

Ask yourself - 1970 medicine at 1970 prices (i.e. you can't use anything that reached the market in 1971 or later), or 2015 medicine at 2015 prices. If you choose the latter then medicine has suffered deflation.

It's a very interesting exercise to re-compute standard statistics based on CPI measures which simply exclude medical inflation (let alone recognize deflation).
ECC is a requirement for servers when we validate installations of our database product.

Basically the take away is that without ECC you can expect a memory error every two days on machines with a lot of RAM.
Thanks for your input. Asynchronous (or fully deferred) loading of ads is possible with current tech, but adoption is poor to nonexistent. Maybe AMP (in combination with preferred ranking treatment by Google) can change this, but I wish it wasn't necessary.
If I don't know how a webcrawler works, I would look at an programming language independent source like Wikipedia. After that I know what components I have to search for.

For common lisp, the first thing I would search for is a HTTP Client and a HTML Parser.

CLiki.net is always a good resource.

If you've finished building a webcrawler, please create a website where you explain webcrawling for (common-)lisp. So the next one will not have the same problem :-)

Hi, are there any price informations for the enterprise?
While the usable bandwidth for AM modulated carrier is obviously smaller than for visible light, it does not matter in any meaningful way, because it is still significantly larger than anything that could be processed by today's electronics.

There are different protocols specified for IR transmissions:

- IrDA - master-to-multiple-slaves, directly amplitude modulated IR with RZ coded 8N1 asynchronous serial port frames frames (which is directly supported by reasonably modern UARTs) with HDLC-like protocol suite on top. This supports standard serial port speeds up to 115k2 and has extensions with different modulation schemes that go up to 512Mbps, with 4Mbps variant being generally supported by most PC hardware. It serves mostly same purpose as bluetooth, protocol stack is largely similar and for long time it was in practice significantly faster than bluetooth.

- Above mentioned 802.11 IR Physical layer - IIRC something like 1 or 10 Mbps, protocols same as for 802.11, there probably were no commercially successful implementations.

- Various standard, "standard" and completely proprietary protocols for remote controls. Hundreds to thousands bps, typically using few tens of kHz carrier wave that gets modulated on to the IR.

More likely Docker on Linux on LPAR. At that point you'd struggle to see the value of VM, other than making some of the device management/maintenance easier.
It depends on algorithm/implementation but some do not require much communication with CPU once you put data on GPU.
The normal excuse for piracy is "I would not have bought it anyway". I do buy a lot music but I also pirate, there is just no way for one to accumulate all those gigabytes of music collection without paying more money than what you make in a lifetime. I really wouldn't, and couldn't, have bought it anyway. Hence no loss for the creator.

Now on udemy people are still paying for it, that means they are ready to pay, and whatever they pay should in that case go to the correct rights holder. There is where the comparison with Napster doesn't hold.
I think Lisp's power is its greatest weakness.

It's easy to make a Lisp, but hard to make them compatible. So you get one language with a billion non-communicating dialects.

This is rich. There is a set of HN readers who are outraged over this while at the same time waiting for their next movie torrents to seed. Seems like a tiny bit of hypocrisy happening. The simple truth is that if you own a piece of content, you should have control of that content. Stealing movies, books or music is wrong no matter how much you may pontificate against the "evil" copyright owner. Copyright infringement is a disincentive to content creation.

Udemy is a TERRIBLE platform. I'm surprised that so many instructors consent to putting their stuff on there. It's so much better to just have your content on your own hosted solution or Teachable (previously Fedora). Looks like there's a lot of room to innovate in this space.
Given you had to "meet at least the following requirements:
It should recover from known AWS failure scenarios
It should never lose our data
It should be trivial to bring back to a known working state"

How exactly are you going to "never lose our data"?
There was a fleeting mention of a snapshot but that protects only to last snapshot. Otherwise it missed to address the subject of guarding the data and its state.

The whole blog post is about spinning replacement node if "nodes in AWS can (and will!) go away in a moments notice".
That's a very limited recovery case and even unlikely to be required.

If your instance is EBS based you can just stop/start it and it'll come up on a new hardware. You can automate it as easily as configuring cloudwatch alarm to do it for you. That's not an issue at all.

What you should really focus on is the case when EBS volume is gone or AZ/region is gone or data got corrupted.
Spinning up new instances programmatically can be done through trove of different tools and hardly addresses your objectives.
Also wanted to ask, given the subject, what's immutable about GHE deployment?

P.S. HN formatting sucks. I tried to re-arrange it a bit.
I think it would be valuable for other commenters to share why they did or did not choose Lisp for their most recent project(s).

I chose Go for a recent project, and TypeScript for another. Both languages make getting started very easy: they have straightforward installation, good tooling, and a lot of support for when things go wrong.

I did not seriously consider LISP, and I think the main reason is that it's a very confusing landscape. Google "how to install LISP" and you get a page like https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Common_Lisp/First_steps/Instal... with half a dozen options. It's hard to choose and most of these do not look promising. For example, Steel Bank Common Lisp is one I have heard of, but their binaries are out of date and they use SourceForge (shiver). Arc is another, but their installation instructions do not inspire confidence with disclaimers like "don't use the latest version." My concern is I will spend two weeks diving in before hitting some hard limitation, and I'll be stuck.

(Clojure is surely the best known modern LISP, but I do not want to depend on the JVM.)

Speaking as an outsider, I think LISP would gain a lot more traction if its community coalesced around a single implementation. (Sorry if that's a clichéd argument). This would allow for investment in areas like documentation, platform support, tooling, etc. The functional language community went through this and the result was Haskell, which is excellent in all of those areas.
Probably going to continue if people keep electing people like this into office.
> non-traded sectors (e.g. Wikipedia, Facebook, online dating) where we've gained massive utility that is not tracked in GDP.

The GDP is overestimated (but not because of the non-traded sectors). Remember 2013 when the fed needed to show some...ANY... growth? Start the padding! - http://seekingalpha.com/article/1368001-u-s-governments-new-... - Which almost every administration has been doing in their own way, since Nixon. But Commissions, legal bills and expenditures on real estate transactions are included in GDP? Our GDP has been in a negative slide for awhile. The Fracking miracle was a light in the tunnel, but steel is dead, cars are dead, aerospace is dead (in the context of the US GDP).
The Monarch is dead, long live the Monarch.

He is not as popular. The 'black spider' (handwriting) letters were thought to be lobbying on his part but largely turned out to not be lobbying, just interest in lesser-favoured options. We might be better off if he passed it to William straight away, but I don't think that him being like he is now will cause any republican surge.

Li-Fi Technology 100 Times Faster Than Wi-Fi
I understand the concern, but I'm not sure if that's a fair comparison. It would be like tech companies going from "We're only going to hire people who have master's degrees in computer science" to "We'll experiment with training programs for people who just have bachelor's degrees in related fields"

It might indeed lower pay for the people who have the most experience, but probably not by much. It's hard to believe that it will be a net negative for the company or its customers.

All the modern lisps are installed just like anything else, whith apt-get install. I've no idea what are you talking about.
Not sure if this is relevant (the panels may or may not produce vitamin d in people's skin) but since taking a high quality vitamin d in winter I feel considerably clearer and more solid in my mentality.
There's no one lisp; there are many. Here are the top three:

Clojure: http://clojure.org/getting_started

Racket: http://docs.racket-lang.org/getting-started/

Common Lisp: https://www.quicklisp.org/beta/

Lisp is a family of languages. All the dialects are good in their own way - "standardization", if such a thing even makes sense, would be counter-productive.
That strikes me as primarily an 'operational' success.

It seems entirely possible to me to integrate a significant amount of features into the 'stream of messages' paradigm without making it complicated enough to turn people away. And clearly the existence of WeChat shows that doing more than just messaging can be hugely successful.

It just happened to be smart for WhatsApp specifically, because of its circumstances and ability and whatnot, to focus on the core product.
The easiest Lisp I would recommend is probably Racket, it is what got me into Lisp personally. After that I would give Clojure a shot, it has some amazing tools like lein.

I think first time setup is a huge key for programming languages. For example Go has the benefit of an amazing out of the box standard library, unlike D and Ruby where you would install via a package manager the right tools to get a web project going, you could do it all from vanilla Go code.

Of course in both Ruby and D you could do it from vanilla code, but it's not as seamless and tried and tested I suppose?

I never said it did. I'm making the point that most piracy exists because it's an easy alternative to purchasing. I'd never smash a glass case and run with a CD, but when I could click Download on Kazaa? Sure, why not.

Now I do the same thing with Amazon, and my credit card gets billed a buck. The difference is negligible to me, the difference to the media company? Tons of bad PR and losing a shitload of potential sales because they still thought the album was the only way to distribute music.

Edit: Upon further thought, the "world" in question here gave me two options: Either buying the CD, or downloading the song, and at the time there was no middle ground there. I can still download songs but I don't do it, I buy them. If that is a sense of entitlement it's not a very good one.
Well, actually, there are.

In Japan, if you have disgrace yourself and bring shame upon your family, you have to kill yourself. If you don't kill yourself, honor can not be restore to your family.

This means that when your wife goes grocery shopping, people will not sell her food.

When your children goes to school, teachers will talk down on your children. Students will bully your children. Neighbors will assault your children.

At work, all the women will call your wife a slut behind her back, but making sure it's loud enough for her to hear it. Your wife's boss will make sexual advances toward your wife because she is now no longer a respectable woman.

You clan members will disown your father and make fun of him for birthing such a disgraceful son.

When disown by a clan, you and your family can no longer go to them for support in any form (financial, emotional, social, etc).

Police will purposely pulled you over and give your a ticket.

You son will not be able to get a job because no one will want to hire him. No one want to associate with a disgraceful person like him.

All these societal pressures will not stop until you kill yourself and bring honor back to your family's name.

So yes, you have to kill yourself, if you don't want your family to suffer.
Loss of Carbon in Martian Atmosphere Explained
Glad it's not just me. Since the War on Incandescents, I have realized that lighting fundamentally changes the nature of a space, including our homes.

CFL yellows everything and washes out colors. I believe some people are more sensitive to this effect. For me, it deadens everything. I think some are sensitive to the frequencies as well, just as to the old interlaced monitors.

LEDs have gotten better, but the light tends to be harsher and less diffuse than incandescent. Even the newer halogen incandescents on offer tend to be too white or harsh for my taste.

Never realized that the "default" incandescent brightness and temperature were so perfect until they became harder to find amidst the push towards energy efficiency. Since then, our living spaces have become dimmer and more lifeless. It literally changes how we experience life.

I thought I just needed to get used to it, but the effect is still very noticeable to me.
