Thanks, now i have Soylent Green passing before my eyes...
There's no need to introduce any special new concepts. It's simply a hierarchical graphical model. You have one variable which stands for p (distributed according to some prior, like a Beta distribution perhaps), and you have another (perhaps multiple), Bernoulli distributed variable whose parameter comes from the first variable and represents the actual coin value that you get.

If you do multiple coin flips, you have more of these Bernoulli variables but they all share a common parameter p.

One such example model is the Beta-Bernoulli process: http://www.math.uah.edu/stat/bernoulli/BetaBernoulli.html

I would say that the part of post-scarcity that's actually cogent to my orginal comment is that we are already, via largely and increasingly automated means, cheaply producing vast quantities of consumer goods with decreasing amounts of human intervention.

I didn't mean to credulously insinuate that we are approaching the utopian ideal of a post-scarcity world, as any cursory glance at reality would readily indicate that we are not living in a utopia. But my comment was lazy as it says exactly that, without further qualification, so i deserve the pedantry.
I think the problem is precisely that it is (maybe) a democracy -- and that's not what people expected. They expected a distributed, "trust free" network for clearing transactions.

And no such thing exists, as it turns out. How can this not be bitcoin's practical death?
Perhaps - and most folks do (in principle) just want to put files on a computer and start a process.

But context changes and needs have become more sophisticated, particularly needs in isolation, consistency, elasticity. I think that the capabilities of traditional Unix kernel mechanisms, packaging systems, and userland tools, have lagged behind demand.

There's still opportunity for these needs to be met with refinements to standard 'nix mechanisms. I'd contribute to such a project, if it became the explicit design direction of a major distro.
I think I may have mis-stated my point. I'll caveat my response this with: This is what I've heard, I don't know if it's true.

They have an internal culture of "lets develop features for the companies that pay us, rather than the free-users". This got a lot of attention, because they started to realize that they can't keep heading in that direction and expect things to keep working.
Just skimmed it; very interesting. I hadn't heard of this bug before, but will read it in detail soon. Thanks!

Like I said: Docker wants to be a linker and a binary format:

If everything (mysql, pgsql, etc.) were a library you could achieve much of what it does with -static and privilege dropping on launch.
While I mostly agree with you, if someone acts like they don't want a relationship at all (or plays super hard to get), then I'll just move on to someone who does, because I don't have time to waste trying to get someone interested in me.

I wasted way too much time on women who were friendly but emotionally unavailable (and didn't want to admit it to themselves) in my teens and 20s to ever want to go through that again.
Before Twitter there was a phase where journalists would monitor discussion forums (think vBulletin). I know this because I would take part in speculative discussions and the next day it turned into front page news stories. No sources but obviously came from the discussion. It spooked me and made me realise that modern journalism was already becoming lazy.
I mostly agree with that. I was trying to explain why these videos exist in the first place--so that when the underlying rules are broken, the regulatory authority can make the rule-breaker look like a liar instead of merely someone ignorant of the rules.
Imagine if we lived in a world which valued these things over the accrual of money.

I would guess that a majority of the people who create the technology that enables the latter would greatly prefer the former.

This world. Seriously their response was some words, that doesn't take that long to come up with. 29 days to go to production on that is not good. Adding a simple feature on a project which I am pretty sure they say they deploy daily on shouldn't take 29 days when you have the amount of talent they have. I am sure people aren't expecting the world, but 29 days should equal some text saying ok we're listening here is something we've done.
The sort of person who installs uBlock Origin is also generally the kind of person that knows to avoid these websites. However, people like my mother don't know how to install uBlock, and don't know to avoid download.com (I mean, with a domain name like that, it has to be legit!).

This is what uBlock shows me when visiting a page on download.com [0]. It also changes the URL to "chrome-extension://cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm/...". If my mother saw this, I'd get a phone call right away that some virus was stopping her from downloading something. It looks scary, and the most visible information is the most obtuse, while the most useful information is grayed out on the page.

If the most prominent text was something like "We've blocked this page, because it matches our list of 'Badware risks'." I'd feel better about installing uBlock for a casual user. As it is now, I only install Adblock Plus because it hides malicious ads and fake download buttons without also presenting scary things to the user.

I also have a problem with the "download zip" button on repositories. It doesn't include submodules. I've asked Github several times to give me a button to remove it from my repo, or to add submodules, to no avail.
Unfortunately for me, I was asked to leave the Docker project after I got upset about SUSE wanting to add EULAs to Docker images: https://github.com/docker/docker/issues/7153

So I guess I don't get any millions. :(
I see this argument all the time and it has never made any sense to me. Do you honestly consider Twitter to have the same level of utility, ubiquity, and necessity as things like running water, electricity, sewage, roads, etc?

Let's look specifically at just the US for the sake of simplicity:
The idea of the Internet in general as a public utility has only very recently become accepted and is still going through growing pains. Even so, the total percentage of people in the US who use the Internet is "only" around 84%.[1] Of those people who use the Internet, around 24% are Twitter users.[2]

If Twitter were to simply vanish overnight, the large majority of people in the US would be completely unaffected. I'm not sure you could say that about any other public utility.

I'd argue climate plays a bigger factor for people who actually want to live in Vancouver, rather than absentee investors.

That said, having grown up in Vancouver, I'd consider Montreal - seeing the sun in the fall/winter is a really nice concept I've gotten used to. I've gotten used to harsh cold of the east coast, but I never got used to the dreary vast grayness even though I spent most of my childhood in it.
>Your comment is exactly the attitude the person you were replying to was mocking.

What is being mocked is the attitude we should care for people? Think about that for a second.

>What that person saying is that a lot of reasonably intelligent people who are nowhere near geniuses like to think of themselves as geniuses as a form of narcissistic self-flattery.

Yet the parent comment didn't have that in it. How can the grandparent be mocking the parent if the grandparent is mocking those who chime in 'me too' while the parent doesn't do that?
I also know people who assume malice. They are usually young or have PTSD from dealing with extreme prejudice. The latter is understandable. And the former will stop seeing the world in terms of black and white.

But I think the opposite is true. The recipient of the criticism should be less sensitive. Women know the male ego is fragile. That's why most of the time they don't say anything.
LXD is great. It lowers significantly the mental burden of running something in containers because they behave essentially like a VM. That being said LXD and juju are very Ubuntu things. LXD needs wide adoption for it to be attractive as a serious workload.
I've had one female coder tell me she's picked gender-ambiguous names and doesn't show her pic online for this reason. Only once she's proven her ability does she reveal her gender.
You are claiming I made an assertion that I did not make. S-expressions allow for easy syntactic abstraction, as do other homoiconic syntaxes. I did not claim that it was the only possible thing that allows syntactic abstraction. I am aware of Julia's syntax, and I still much prefer the regularity of s-expressions. What you call weirdness, I call a feature.
Same is true for vast majority of countries.

I count 5 stories in the top 120 on HN as of this writing, which are on github.io [6]-[8] or other .io domains [1]-[5]. Why are so many sites on .io domains?

I'm particularly interested in comments from people who've chosen (or strongly considered) .io domains for personal or company websites -- why did you choose .io?

Ask HN: How mature is Julia for machine learning in 2016?
I want to dive into machine learning (with accent on theory), but I want to use Julia instead of Python, R or Octave for it.

How mature is Julia for these purposes? Does anybody here actually use Julia for something?
His episode on the corporate office sadly had it ass backwards though. Rather than computers making managers simply executors of the computed plan, they, via robotics, replaced much the workforce instead.

BTW, the ending of the last episode was shot in one take. At the very last moment he was finding himself standing with one foot in an anthill no less. Now thats dedication to ones craft.
The article discusses people who may have a trait Dr Elaine Aron calls "highly sensitive". She has been researching the highly sensitive since 1991.

She says the trait is normal. It is found in 15 to 20% of the population. She writes:

"While being easily overstimulated and aware of subtle little things may be what most parents notice first about their Highly Sensitive Child, depth of processing is really the underlying trait."

See her 2014 summary of scientific research on highly sensitive children here: http://hsperson.com/pdf/Authors_note_HSC.pdf

The War for Live: Which App Had the Best Superbowl?
>No one really chose to live out there after graduating for college

Sure they did. I knew relatively few people who chose to live in Boston/Cambridge after graduation in the 80s. Yes, some of this was because of the commute to their jobs in Metro-West. But I knew lots of people (including myself) who never seriously considered living in the city post-graduation.

As you say, places like Kendall and Central Square weren't exactly desirable locales. Both the state of much of Boston/Cambridge (and even Somerville) and the general attitude toward urban living among certain demographics has obviously shifted.
It'd be a little easier to identify key requests if they implemented voting to solve the "+1" comments, as identified in the "Dear Github" letter.
Only one salesperson in my building has a headshot as part of their email signature...I've been told it has made a noticeable impact on said person's numbers. Anecdote, but, can't call it impossible.
I've been on both sides of "Repeated Proximity Breeds Attraction", and that's part of the reason why I like meetups so much. It allows for that to occur naturally without imposing yourself on anyone. Just be friendly and keep showing up and over time, people tend to express interest.
It's perhaps a small step in a direction away from the pure capitalist conception of how property rights should be structured, but such a movement is no more a sign of lack of respect for property rights than the move to the capitalist model of such rights from prior models was.

It's not like God handed down the capitalist model of property rights carved on stone tablets...that model is just one stage in the continuous historical evolution of the concept of property rights.

In this case, you can't argue that it's not right.

>The libertarian case for Bernie Sanders is simply that Bernie Sanders wants to make America more like Denmark, Canada, or Sweden … and the citizens of those countries enjoy more liberty than Americans do.

So, those countries are more libertarian than the United States, despite imposing top-heavy government on its people with the goal of taking a sizeable percentage of their income. Right...

In any case, the author himself then seems to conclusively answer No, without explicitly saying "no":

>The lesson Bernie Sanders needs to learn is that you cannot finance a Danish-style welfare state without free markets and large tax increases on the middle class. If you want Danish levels of social spending, you need Danish middle-class tax rates and a relatively unfettered capitalist economy. The fact that he’s unwilling to come out in favor of either half of the Danish formula for a viable social-democratic welfare state is the best evidence that Bernie Sanders is not actually very interested in what it takes to make social democracy work. The great irony of post-1989 political economy is that capitalism has proven itself the most reliable means to socialist ends. Bernie seems not to have gotten the memo.

If you buy the author's argument that Denmark's brand of democratic socialism is the closest to the libertarian ideal we have in the world, then the logical conclusion is that Bernie doesn't understand what makes Denmark's brand of democratic socialism work, so there is no libertarian case for Bernie Sanders.

And while rents are still cheap compared to other large western cities, they went (and are going) through about the same curve as these more expensive cities - it simply started lower here.
Potentially. I deterred many bullies because I simply didn't give any fucks. I grew up pretty poor and moved a lot, so I was always the new kid, and I also stood out because I usually immediately rose to the top of the class. That usually painted a target on my chest, but it didn't last long.

The few times I was bullied was always the first few weeks after I arrived, and they quickly found out I would fight back pretty aggressively. Was that a "being poor" thing? Was it my notorious "punched a kid in the face for cutting in front of me in line when I was five" temper? Was it simply because I wasn't an "easy" mark?

I can't rightfully say, but one of those things definitely reduced my propensity for being the target of bullies.
I've always considered Vancouver (tech) salaries to be fairly competitive compared to the rest of the Canada. (I'm a Vancouver dev)
Let's say they figure out you only spent 100 hours to deliver them $50,000 of value. It's your job to persuade them that that guy on the internet who says they would sell them 100 hours of dev time for just $5,000 will only give them $5,000 of value (if that). If I have a choice between getting someone who delivers value at a rate of $500/hour versus someone who delivers value at $50/hour, and I need $50,000-worth of software, I should choose the more efficient developer, not the cheapest one.
I've seen this line about postal subsidies mentioned several times, but no one I've asked has pointed to any credible original source for these subsidies.

Are you really talking about some specific set of subsidies paid by the Chinese government? Or just the fact that China Post pays a pretty low rate per kg for USPS for delivery to US addresses?

Problem is salary in Montreal are ridiculously low, and taxes in Quebec are higher than Ontario/British Colombia. Higher taxes should come with the benefit of more services: the health system is clogged and for non-french speaking families, the education system isn't the most friendly.

I recently switched our large-ish GitHub project to use reviewable.io for code reviews. The UI can be hard to understand sometimes, but so far everyone agrees it's a tremendous improvement over GitHub's joke of a code review UI.
Part of the challenge for publishers lies in deciding what they really are. Following a quantity over quality model might work well for many. On the other hand, Wired (as distinct from Condé Nast) have traditionally had a different kind of relationship with their readers. There's an emotional bond between many in the tech community and the Wired brand, which calls for a higher level of trust, but at the same time delivers a much more loyal type of readership.

I would probably not pay for access to Wired without advertising, regardless the price. I am more than willing to pay for services, or access to information that I can rationalise as an investment, but (apparently like many others) not for entertainment. On the other hand, I'm more than willing to disable ad blockers on wired.com, as long as I know everything include is served from their own network, and that they take my security as seriously as I do. Some friends can be trusted with unsupervised access to your home, but those are special friends. Wired have to convince us they're a special friend.

Oh, no, I guess I wasn't clear on what I mean. Sorry.

Data compression (which deduplication essentially is a subset of) absolutely isn't a kludge. I meant, introducing the duplication (by design) and then inventing some workaround to get back to square one - that's the suspicious part. It adds complexity, when there could be none.

I once dated a girl who had two jobs and a kid. I frequently wouldn't get responses back for days. I tried to keep it going, but it fell apart after four months of one date every two or three weeks. In retrospect, I'm glad it did end, even though I was super into her.

In my public school system, in the suburbs of Philadelphia, admission to the gifted program was largely based on the results of IQ testing.

That was back in the 1980s and 1990s; not sure how things have changed.

I have to say... I thought our school system did a good job with gifted students. We had some classes with other gifted kids and a lot of classes with the school's general population. We weren't treated as elite freaks or anything, were never told we were "better", and all in all I think they did it right.
It is strictly less powerful than a REPL. Claiming that you can't live code a game at a REPL is false, because I do it on a regular basis. When I write games in Scheme, I use a REPL to write the game live, doing all of my editing within Emacs. I do not have to save files for the code to be evaluated, I just press a keystroke to evaluate the specific form I'm interested in. I can evaluate more fine-grained sections of code, not only entire files.

There is a lot of information around about structure and potential pitfalls as well as their solutions.

I don't think the author of this post really understands ZFS.

Is that a 4 disk mirror? You'd be much faster using a raid10 there.

ZFS 'cache' devices are't for write cache either, you'd want a log device for write perf reasons if that's your constraint... Even then it's unlikely to make a difference on a workstation workload with 16GB of memory..
Oh sure. Obviously it works for some people. I'm just saying I don't understand it. :)
