He also reduces their differences to this point. - Which I find most ridiculous. For one thing, interpretation vs. compilation is in the end an implementation issue (see all the AOT compilers and Cerns ROOT/Cling).

The advantage is, that you CAN compile moderately statically typed languages, they all can be equivalently and probably more easily than dynamic ones be implemented in an interpreted fashion.

But even then, eclipse compiles while editing, and I never have to wait (The only thing I like about eclipse haha ).

So the whole article was just written while intoxicated, or he is missing the deeper connections about language features beyond 2kloc ROR CRUD apps, like being able to find out callsites of a function, and being able to make assumptions about others code (which becomes critical in even moderately large codebases).
Er, in both C and C++ it means that in static context for (at least) integral types, though it does also generate a symbol that can be used if needed (ie if you take its address).

> strong downward pricing pressure in the Japanese market

Downward pricing is what one would expect in any stable market, given that price optimization is the primary market mechanic. Technology is getting ever-better, so it takes ever-larger efforts to erase its gains and create the artificial inflation prescribed by the central banksters.
Perhaps I'm misundertanding you but how exactly are the funds not clearly owned?
It's my understanding that each ethereum invested in the DOA still belongs to whoever invested them because they at any point can chose to split their funds from the original DOA into a different DOA where they then can extract the funds.
Returns on investments come back in the form of etheruem that will be evenly distributed to the DOA token holders meaning that even they will have a clear owner.
With that in mind I don't see how the fund are any less clearly owned by anyone than bitcoins, maybe you can explain?

I actually consider this acceptable. I may begin using forbes again. I would briefly turn off adblock and then reload it if the data/article wasn't obviously available elsewhere, but I would let them have my basic google data to read an article.

I mean that would just verify through google analytics that a real user is reading their article and maybe some basic demographic information which could be pitched to advertisers...oh wait, they also verified these users won't run malware on their systems.

The only way they could seemingly benefit is if someone clicks the around the web links at the bottom, which again I consider fair play.

> In the street, the first thing he saw was a squad of soldiers who had been burrowing into the hillside opposite, making one of the thousands of dugouts in which the Japanese apparently intended to resist invasion, hill by hill, life for life; the soldiers were coming out of the hole, where they should have been safe, and blood was running from their heads, chests, and backs. They were silent and dazed.

However I may feel about the bomb having been used, I don't doubt it saved more lives than it took. As for all the civilians and children and other non-combatants, I doubt the tragedy would have been less without the bomb. It's hard for me to reconcile how such an obvious force of destruction could be more desirable than an invasion, and that's probably because it's very hard for me to understand the destruction an invasion creates. An invasion's impact isn't as easy to put into neat pictures and anecdotes as a singular experience that a bomb explosion creates.

There's some question if the ramp up of the Soviets on their eastern border had more to do with Japan's surrender than the atomic bombs we dropped. I'm not sure there's a clear answer there.

Completely agreed with pron's comment. Also, the process by which they designed the new architecture is adhoc. They saw a problem, and then tried a bunch of solutions, and got something to work. Sure, their effort was guided by intuition, but that is adhoc. My point is, there was no theory they worked out saying "you should do this," or "these are the non-empirical reasons this method is superior."

I'm not negative on neural nets. I actually like that the field is relatively shallow and fast-moving. I just dislike it when people on HN valorize neural nets to be more than they are.

The specific detail that you've noticed in the Go implementation has to do with RFC 7540, Section 9.2.2 (https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7540#section-9.2.2) which requires TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256 for TLS 1.2 only. Deployments of the future TLS 1.3 are free to not support this cipher, if I am reading the RFC correctly.

That is to say, you're correct that server configured for a 100% on SSLLabs will not support HTTP/2, but I agree with davidben that SSLLabs is incorrect here for incetivising AES-256, particularly in CBC mode, for the 100% score.

A robust generally agreed upon and reliable biomarker of aging is a very important thing that doesn't yet exist. It would ideally require something simple like a blood sample, pin down biological age fairly accurately, and work in mice, dogs, pigs, and people at the very least. The estimate of biological age would be a measure of how damaged you are, and would have a solid statistical relationship with remaining life expectancy.

Why is this important? Because at present the only way to assess a putative rejuvenation therapy, such as the various approaches to senescent cell clearance presently under development, is to try it in mammals and wait and see. In mice that takes a lot of time and money, even when you work with one of the suppliers who can sell you pre-aged-to-the-age-you-want mice for a few hundred dollars each. Then never mind testing in longer-lived species. You'll always be able to show that your therapy does what it says on the can (removes X% of senescent cells in tissues A, B, and C) but how to prove that this does in fact extend human life in the same way it does in mice, and by how much?

Testing putative rejuvenation therapies would run a lot faster if you could just take a tissue sample a few weeks after the treatment, send it off to a clinic, and quickly see that biological age was reduced. Then far fewer of the wait and see studies would be needed, and the whole field would move a lot faster.

At present DNA methylation patterns look pretty promising as a biomarker of aging, but unfortunately there is still a way to go from the stage of pretty promising to the stage of a generally agreed biomarker of aging that is good enough to bypass the need for wait and see studies. So more signs of parallel and different approaches in the research community are always welcome.
And you didn't like that, right? You felt as being noise to the actual meaning I'm trying to convey.

Precisely my point.

That is an excellent result. Back in the 90's I converted a Radio Shack Wild Cougar (R/C truck) to autonomous control with a 68HC11 and had to slow it down under a walking pace just to keep it from crashing (it nominally went 20mph when you just controlled it manually). To consider the difference in compute over those 20 years is really quite stunning.

I particularly liked the lack of back propagation in the design (keeps things fast) but was really curious how they determine "optimal" (center of track). So that makes me wonder if the algorithm would learn a "line" through the track that optimized speed at reduced energy.

Next up, multiple cars on the track!

This is more than a year old and the hardware this was tested on wasn't even that exceptional when it was released 7 years ago. I'm kind of assuming that the tester did something strange for BTRFS in particular because his results disagree with every other benchmark out there. Using BTRFS on top of software RAID 10 is also inappropriate as this should be done by creating a filesystem containing all four devices.

That being said I'd love to see more benchmarks of BTRFS compared to other filesystems and on hardware that isn't so archaic. I think it's safe to say that this article is not representative of reality as Phoronix has tons of benchmarks that all don't have nearly this big of difference between BTRFS and Ext4. Here's an article that's even more outdated than the parent and it still shows BTRFS performing acceptably across the board.

> People are entitled to trust the government not to do that

People are entitled to trust that the government won't do the sort of things that governments have historically done? This is getting dangerously close to the point of legitimizing the government of North Korea because it's nominally democratically elected.

> and also to presume that the really gross abuses will be hard to keep secret.

Isn't this directly at odds with aggressive systemic and cultural protection of secrets and imposing severe criminal penalties on whistleblowers? You're effectively arguing that the government can only get away with as much malice as they have the capacity to keep secret, and then using that as justification for bolstering the government's ability to keep secrets. That seems like it should go the other way.

Not sure how that tracks. These file systems are huge code bases with lots of problems and areas for improvement. When you only have 2-4 people who understand most of it at a given time things move slowly. If I could tell somebody to go fix balance my life would be a whole lot easier, but in reality we end up being interrupt driven and have to prioritize differently.

- Very old kernel used (3.10!), makes me wonder how old the packages like btrfs-progs are as well.

- BTRFS not mounted with compression (compress=lzo)

- Don't use QCOW2, just don't, it's slow and you're just adding extra layers where you don't need to.

It would be interesting to see you re-run these tests using a modern kernel, say at least 4.4 and either raw block devices or logical volumes along with mounting BTRFS properly with the compress=lzo option
I think the "why" would have been obvious to anyone -- there was an ongoing, active war in which both sides had been bombing each other and killing civilians, and Hiroshima was contributing significant production toward the war effort.
Yes 1.+(5), 5.-(1), 1.*(2). Ruby is probably the most object oriented language out there, besides Scala(which borrows from Ruby. Which borrowed form Smalltalk). Keeps syntax rules to a minimum. Where is something like Java 1 + 1 is a special syntax case on primitive types(primitive types in hindsight were a terrible decision). In Ruby methods can be called with spaces and without parenthesis. So 1.+(5) is the same as 1 + 5.

By this logic, the US should just nuke any area causing problems for it.

Iraq invades Kuwait? Nuke it.

Why mess around with invasions.

Note the scientists who developed the bomb begged the US government to first drop one off the coast of Japan to demonstrate to them what they were facing.

Instead we killed tens of thousands of civilians on purpose, not once, but went back a second time. The lucky ones were vaporized instantly. The unlucky ones died over weeks in horrible pain from radiation and mass organ failure.

So the D.A.O. is just a very technical form of angel investing? I think a decentralized autonomous organization is an interesting concept but I wonder what the great benefit for society is. Most countries have well established legal personalities, such as corporations to create consensus between different shareholders. An it's usually not even expensive to set up. In the EU anybody can create a corporation in any member country using corporate law from any EU country, so you get to choose from a wide array of legal forms. What's the added benefit of a stateless organization? The corporate structure might exist in a stateless form but apart from that the organization is still bound by local regulations whenever it actually engages in a market. To me it seems like a concept dreamt up for a utopian anarcho-capitalist parallel universe.
