This is basically intuition, a base of experiences that leads to these "gut instinct" decisions and feelings. Doing a journal like the author describes could actually help with your intuition because you're adding more specific information from each bug into your mental storage. Now you're getting a cursory level of data from each individual bug which leads you to think each one is less important. It's like skimming 3 books on a subject instead of close reading 1.

I'm just thinking out loud because I do what you describe here but I think the journaling idea could be valuable.
This doesn't seem like a very valuable interview question anymore because it's well known and you can probably google the simple answer, but if not this is the basic idea (walk the list once pointing each next at the previous node and return the new head when you reach the end):

List *Reverse( List *pList )
{
List *pPrevious = nullptr;
List *pCurrent = pList;
while ( pCurrent )
{
List *pNext = pCurrent->GetNext();
pCurrent->SetNext( pPrevious );
pPrevious = pCurrent;
pCurrent = pNext;
}
return pPrevious;
}

I also don't see the disagreement between your comment and the parent.
She could just as easily die early from cancer or another condition therefore rendering the results of her hopeful data point nil.

Additionally, if she does survive there is a question of credibility given the non-scientific nature of the experiment:

> Fossell, the anti-aging entrepreneur, says even if Parrish were to somehow succeed in slowing the aging of her body, an outcome he rated as unlikely, the experiment would have no impact because of how it was carried out. “The problem is that no one is going to believe them,” he says. “The credibility will be zero even if they are right on the money.”

I think the perception that all Bitcoin advocates think that Bitcoin will "Destroy" all fiat money and we will all be worshiping Satoshi for delivering us, is wide spread and mostly false.
I'm not "part of the problem" because the problem you describe doesn't exist.

Yes I read the Snowdon revelations, who didn't? He described some bad practices, which were extrapolated into vast huge nonsense wholesale.

There aren't radicals being "spirited away" wholesale by a huge technocratic dicatorship using advanced tools of oppression. It's just conspiratal, fantastical cringy nonsense.

Why should I care if Comcast is able to diversify or not? I don't see where Comcast getting bigger is especially important to the economy in general, it seems like something that probably benefits shareholders more than the general public.

I think encouraging business activity is great. We should be careful when we regulate it. The other side of that is that we shouldn't hesitate to regulate businesses when they try to do things that do net harm to the public.

It's a technology for allowing money to bypass the rule of law. By design it concentrates power in the hands of property owners, and allows them to undercut democratic rules against activities with negative externalities - and since it's more expensive than currency, those are the only use cases that make sense; prime use cases would be things like drugs, smuggling, tax evasion, child porn, terrorism. I think IED control software is a pretty fair comparison actually, except that IEDs are somewhat more democratic.
My random advice from the internet: Apply and then examine your options in the wake of the outcome. Unless of course, there is something prohibiting doing so in your contract with the big company. In that case talk to your attorney.

In any event, there's no reason not to keep taking the big company's money. But there's probably good reason to use it to develop other, potentially better, customers.

Good luck.
I'm definitely biased, but I say YC should have someone comb through the top ~100 upvoted submissions and pick the best 20 or so. Let those that get picked write up a really solid short pitch, and then let everyone with a certain level of karma vote. That would allow real HN members a chance to seriously review submissions so that the best ones can be chosen.

I think it's possible to game the system as it is now. You can get your buddies to upvote you, submit at the right time, etc.

Sure, she's learning by moving to another extremely expensive place that could once again easily lead to financial ruin. Whose fault will it be then?

I'm not disagreeing on the fact that she had a tough childhood. All I'm saying is that blaming other people for your shortcomings should not be encouraged. You're talking about a struggle when I see a young white college-educated woman. Do you know how far ahead that puts her in this country? Struggle is getting pregnant in high school and living in section 8 housing without a chance to dig yourself out of it.

I've seen some of the worst biases manifest themselves around bitcoin.

My theory is that in the shadow of the bubble collapse, the desire for bitcoin to succeed has driven wishful thinking to the extreme, where some vocal bitcoin evangelists ignore or spin reality to reconcile it with their desire.

It's more akin to the old XBox vs Playstation flame wars, where a console fan could just admit the cons along with the pros, but then that wouldn't fully validate their decision to invest.

An example of some of the spin that I'm talking about: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10959211

Bullet in the head of dos extenders? Zortech (my company) created its own 32 bit dos extender and shipped it. It worked fine up through Windows XP, and was a major factor in the success of Zortech C++. I also used 286 dos extenders extensively, the only "bullet in the head" they ever got was being obsoleted by advancing 32 bit computing.
It was hit from the side I think? The height of the pickup definitely made a difference because most of the cabin was sitting up on the median rather than squished into the barrier like the rest of the truck. Your point about the weight is a good one in most circumstances though!

They don't have a similar requirement because they get a translator who can stand next to the professor and/or take notes, and due to the ADA, it's mandated that they provide those services. When it comes to video/communications, the regulations are a bit more murky because the FCC may be involved.

I also had the sense that it was a bunch of old ideas dressed up in new ones. I like the comparison with Plato's forms.

I also felt that his model of reality influenced by Turing machines was way too close to an actual Turing machine. Really he just added a few more variable spaces to make it a abstract enough to fit.
No, under your proposed rule NBCUniversal would be forced to share the content it spends millions of dollars creating for free with its competitors because of a government mandate. This isn't divesture, this is nationalization.

You're forcing a company's investments into the public's hands.
I don't see anything in either of those articles about installing malware on people's computers. They do paint a pretty dire picture of his ethics though.
Just because unit testing existed in the 90s, it doesn't mean it was widely (ab)used as it is now! Many technologies were invented well before they gained adoption.

I didn't mean unit testing is new or useless - just that it's being abused ignoring the benefit-cost ratio and negatively affecting you thought process to rely on something unreliable instead on focusing on code quality - tests are no panacea as code today is more tested than ever, but is also buggier than ever as well.

As a summary: Just think more when you write code, don't get into the vicious circle of try-refresh-repeat, and having tests in place is no excuse for poor code.

As the article patiently explains, italian culture has been dealing with this conflict for hundreds of years.
> I get really suspicious when I see quantum physics used in this way. It seems like a misdirection.

Because it is. It is the usual physics-inspired pseudophilosophical blabla without any real grounding in philosophy, physics or intelligent thought. It caters to the "intellectual" esoteric wishing for a meta-universe, for some kind of god, for something apart from reality. It is rubbish, and on the same level as the ted-talk of the lunatic claiming to have found the perpetuum mobile and faster than light travel thanks to some circle-based mathematics given to him by his enlightened professor.

At the same time funny, sad and highly annoying if it comes up on places like here.
Dacia-branded cars from Renault/Nissan are just like that. You can go to euroncap.com and watch their A-pillars crumple upon impact. But they still do pull off their quite decent three stars, and are considered quite safe cars as for third-world markets. They are engineered to have just enough safety for their target markets, and nothing above that.
Yes.

Look into IPFS, interplanetary file system. You still need machines to serve files. However, the system has some definite advantages:

1. A file/directory is referred to its immutable hash.
2. A request for a specific hash is made to the network, not a single machine.
3. All machines that have that hash can swarm-download, like bittorrent
4. All communication is point-to-point encrypted
5. For backend, you can mount IPFS directly to the file system, via /ipfs and /ipns

The gist behind this is allows you to create a backend CDN of whoever is cheapest right now, and then load the images on your webpages (as gateways). It's still alpha, but so far my stability (and others running it) have shown that this system can easily handle large archives (800GB and up).
A "public" company is still "private" in the sense that exclusively shareholders decide on what the company does.

I'm skeptical that, in a head on collision between the two, the smart car is a safer place to be.
This has nothing to do with the ISP arm of Comcast, and everything to do with you wanting content without paying for it.
I'm not sure why you suspect Russia or SE Asia, when both are paragons of stability compared to the Middle East. I think the unwinding of the value of oil over the coming decades is going to take away the last pillar of stability holding Middle Eastern countries together.

> The debate about Linux desktop or bitcoin need not be political.

I agree, but that doesn't mean we should silence people who bring up political issues.

> But I'd like to offer an indicator for when things inevitably become 'political'; when there's no provably correct answer and the use of force is involved.

That's a good indicator that pretty much everyone would agree.

However, what constitutes "use of force", however, changes from people to people. Some people believe that merely having a state is "use of force". Other people believe that having a billion dollars to bargain is "use of force". It gets crazier: other people believe it's neither. Or both. Etcetera.

"It doesn't get easier, you just go faster" -- Greg LeMond
As pointed out above, 1 minute per day is clickbait. The study used 10 minutes per session. If you are fit, you probably will need more than a 3x20s session on a stationary bike as well.

HIIT "works". Even with fit people. Probably especially with fit people. Think how sprinters train for instance.

It's a bit hyped now of course. I've seen a lot on the web that puts together a standard circuit training type exercise and calls it as "HIIT". Wrong. Nothing wrong with circuits at all, they are great, but you're not going to get to 90% heart rate with planks. :)

"Works" too depends on your goals. "Just HIIT" is better than nothing, I'm sure. But HIIT is (typically) cardio; for best benefit, you would also strength train and do some mobility / flexibility training as well. Diet is an important part of fitness as well.

I'll be honest, I personally think HIIT is a better solution for the modestly fit versus the completely untrained. HIIT is much more physically demanding than a standard circuit or jog. Consequently, I think there is a greater possibility of "overtraining" or over-exerting yourself, perhaps to the point of injury. It really shouldn't be "1 minute per day" for instance because 24 hours is probably not enough time for most people to recover from a legitimate HIIT session.
One way or another, it looks like we'll find out if the 5th Amendment still holds any water in this country. My guess is probably not, but it all depends on how much money this guy has, I imagine.

Jobs got all his computing innovations from Xerox Parc & Woz.

That he transformed society by successfully commercialising those ideas is undisputable.

Alan Kay's Dynabook was an innovation, Jobs realised this innovation in the iPhone, transforming society as Kay predicted truly portable computers would.

Again with windowing & GUIs, without Jobs Xerox Parc's ideas may have been lost to history.

So he did radically change the course of technology which is the OPs title. Innovations languish without succesful implementation.

Ask HN: Books with good pure python code examples?
I am looking for something similar to "Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming" using Python. I know about the cookbook but I am looking for something that solves interesting problems. I am not looking for books like http://automatetheboringstuff.com/ that use libraries or frameworks.
A look at the blog mentioned in the article proves you right:

I don't know the book, but it doesn't seem outdated to me.
I really don't understand how you got that idea. I really don't.

I just don't want a corporate entity that owns an ISP to be allowed to own content production companies. You're riding a ballistic missile (rather than making a leap) to get to me wanting to get content without paying for it.
This is real. Keep in mind, Qureshi taught the algorithms lectures at this bootcamp for what looks like 6+ months after he graduated.
Women go to the bathroom together because in our hunter gatherer days roaming the Savannah, if you squatted to pee you couldn't see a predator coming in the long grass. So you needed somebody to stand up on the lookout.

Not sure why Apple would need to be broken into HW and SW. Not following that argument.

As for Google, there are arguments to be made that, sure, they should be broken up so their search is separate. (Maybe Alphabet was a preemption?)

Profit motivation. Do you really think Comcast just can't help but make TV shows and movies, like musicians can't help but make music?

You're basically ripping out the budget from the hands of producers and directors, for absolutely no reason. People are willing to pay, it's a completely optional resource that impacts in no way the quality of one's overall health, why the hell would we regulate something like this? Not seeing a movie/TV show is just not a big deal, certainly not a big enough deal to have the US government force content producers to share their IP...

What is this guy smoking?
Computer languages are much more precise and deterministic than natural language. The machine is actually quite simple compared to our biology.

People once believed the world was flat, that the Earth orbited the sun. Today some think the universe is at least 13 billion years old, others only 10,000. People on both sides think the other side is misguided, ignorant or just plain stupid.

Think we're in a simulation? Put down your fucking bong hippie. Also get a job. Those are important for some reason and determine your self worth. Also self worth is a thing .. that you should have.

Evolutionary fitness has led humanity to believe powerful myths. Even you, yes you the rational atheist computer scientist on hacker news, believe many many myths right now. Many which don't matter, many you will never know are myths.

In a million years, we will either be able to create computer simulations powerful enough to simulate part of our universe, or we'll go extinct. Humanity will be a spec on our 13 billion year+ universe. Either that or someone will press the reset switch and start us over with some other parameters.

It's not a lot of comfort to people who die in Chinese factories to give us cell phones, or to Chesley Manning sitting in prison.
There would be both logistical and technical benefits.

1. A direct link between the CAD, the math, and the documentation. I don't believe that Solidworks will update its models without pulling the matlab output onto the server and the documentation won't update without creating the PDFs and pulling them into the PDFs.

2. CADWOLF will allow you the ability to create template items like fittings or trusses that consist of a CAD model and the math. Your junior engineers drop this into their designs and give defined inputs like loads and the truss redesigns itself.

3. The part tree system organizes all of these facets and gives you the ability to see real time system weight/cost/whatever instead of having your people update spreadsheets.

4. A link between your work and neighboring parts/systems. Although the stack you described "works" whenever the jackhole sitting in the cube next to you updates his model, you have to wait for him to tell you and then go through the entire redesign/upload/redo process. CADWOLF will see those changes and update accordingly.

5. One system vs Matlab, Solidworks, C#, PDFs, LaTex, etc. Since it is browser based, it can be seen by anyone/anywhere. This is more logistics, but it prevents you from having like six pieces of software running and it prevents you from making a mistake somewhere.

6. Scale. We will have an AWS server side that can be scaled up instead of being limited to your desktop. This will also help small companies that don't want to buy large computing systems.

7. Process. Since you have access to every person's documentation for a system through a part tree, you can open that doc and check their work from anywhere. A checkoff system will eventually be implemented.

I did something similar to what you are doing with all of the different pieces of software. It really doesn't seem that bad until you realize that it could all be done automatically. There are also far fewer engineers capable of doing what you are doing than most people realize. You're like in the top 10% of production in my experience.

Not quite - think of it this way:

5 x 3 = 5 + 5 + 5

5 ^ 3 = 5 x 5 x 5

5 t 3 = 5 ^ 5 ^ 5

Where t is tetration. Each one counts 3 fives.
What I don't think can be gamed is the quality of the discussion. I mean even if someone sock puppets good "technical" questions in order to provide good "technical" answers, that just demonstrates there is depth behind the application. On the other hand, sock puppeteering "Awsome! +1" won't generate quality discussion.
They have the option of splitting the ownership! It would be incredibly foolish not to take that option. But that is sort of the point.
