The whole raison d'être of gemstones is to be expensive! Diamonds for non-ornamental usage are already dirt cheap. If jewellery-grade diamonds were to drastically drop in price, nobody would want them anymore.
>Chinese aggression like stationing their ships in the Philippines and Japan

The same Philipines the US occupied and used as a colony (and neo-colony) and the same Japan where the US nuked civilians and had the country under supervision (it's army) etc. post-war?

Not to mention this is not actually "stationing their ships in the Philippines and Japan" (which the US does all the time, literally, in their harbors), but having disputes over some sea territory.
Interesting that he was a systems theory guy. My dad was a civil/mechanical engineer and was way into systems theory in the 60s and 70s. The idea, from what I've gathered, is to apply an engineer's toolkit to natural / social science problems. I've got a couple of his old (way out of print) books on systems theory and they're fascinatingly relevant to software development -- particularly for big complex distributed systems. They had to deal with poorly specified problems, emergent behavior, "fuzzy" logic, failure, etc. All problems you face in a real complex software system. These ideas don't get enough press.
So if I understand properly, the real issue is whether knowing the ordering and the data type would allow one to infer something about the contents?

I also wonder if there's a way to make that statement of when this causes something to be revealed more mathematically precise... maybe it's something that could even be automatically detected by someone with access to the original data?

Certainly, but compared to native rocks, meteorites are astonishingly rare. Natural diamonds are not at all rare; their scarcity is controlled by DeBeers, and this has been common knowledge for decades. Saying "I want a real diamond because it's rare" is about as juvenile a sentiment as one can have.

Edit: Let me put it another way. Preferring a natural diamond to a lab-grown diamond when you know how they are obtained is tacit approval of murder, theft, and war, atrocities committed to ensure you get that "real" diamond on your finger. It's appalling that any sane, compassionate human being would be so flippant about the lives lost and families torn apart by the diamond trade.

Anecdote time:

I just got back from VN after a 2 month stay. Culturally, the people there really like liking and growing their social network. I was shocked at how active many of the people I met while traveling there were active on Facebook. People, that I knew spoke 0 english, would like many of my text only English posts.

I took a photo of one girl in a costume and she posted it on Facebook. One day later, she had over 600 likes. Based off of these experiences, I think 90% of Facebook liking is done by VN girls lol.

She had tagged me as the photographer, and suddenly I got about 20 friend requests.

I would not be surprised at all that these are real girls clicking on your ads.

TL;DR: Based on my experiences of living in VN, I think those likes were done by social-media crazed vietnamese.
ah, thanks for saving me from the trouble, Fx on Linux here as well :D

Yes, that is what I said, after they explicitly asked "Let's ask @moxie0 if he is OK with LibreSignal using OWS servers."

I would hypothesize in the US at least that a large percentage of shoppers would still abandon carts at random, but that enterprising teens / homeless people might step in to collect the deposits, so the store could still avoid needing to assign an employee to do it. That said, I rarely have any coins, so needing have a quarter to take out a cart would be fairly annoying.

I feel like you're playing to the knee-jerk reaction crowd that will decide you've won the argument through buzzword bingo, the buzzword in this case being "chemicals".

Saying a foodstuff has come into contact with a chemical somewhere in the process means nothing without more information, yet you expect it to be taken as an automatic negative.
Why would you need a decompiler to write a debugger for Groovy? The groovy compiler supports including source code line numbers and variable names in compiled jar files (just like Java). As a result you can use any Java debugger to debug Groovy.

Also, why would you expect that Groovy can be compiled and then decompiled to Java? This doesn't even work 100% going from Java to Java, and Groovy is going to have idioms that doesn't map easily to Java idioms.
I found BART to make this pretty straightfoward when I lived in Berkeley.

Also, when flying to Sacramento recently I took the Norwegian Air trip from Gatwick to Oakland and then capitol corridor to Sacramento. Didn't even need to get on BART; the airport connector took me to the catwalk to Amtrak.

The only airport in the bay that seems hard to access is San Jose, which has less service anyway.

It is just internalized for me enough so that we usually make another choice for dinner. Also I don't really want the kids to go to preschool and say they had McDonalds for dinner, at about the same level that I don't want to send them to preschool in a dirty shirt.

Once we hadn't been to the grocery store in unusually long, and spent the weekend eating the things in the freezer and the back of the cupboards. We mentioned to the kids that we were out of food. My son went to preschool the next day and congratulated his teachers on always having food available.
> > Honestly, I'd rather have a stone which was formed over geologic ages in the bowels of the Earth than one which was formed over the last month in a garage in Hoboken.

> Can you elaborate on why you feel this way?

I guess I can try, but I suspect that it's one of those things where different folks just have different mindsets.

I think that it'd be amazing to have a stone (diamond, emerald, sapphire, amethyst — whatever) which was the result of long and slow processes operating over millions of years (in the case of diamonds, dating back to the Precambrian, before there were even plants). That's just incredibly cool!

Sure, a lab-grown diamond is an interesting exemplar of man's technical artifice, but it's just not the same thing.

It's an emotional difference, not a rational one.

The OP mentioned that the problem with the higher tax bracket is that it means "a lot more paperwork and headaches".

Something similar exists in the UK: if you earn a salary of £99,999 or less (and don't fall foul of certain another criteria), you can pay tax via your employer, with no paperwork on your part. But if you earn £100,000 or more, you have to file a tax return of your own.

AngularJS (1) was heavily built around jQuery but I can't think of any current one (i.e. more recent than Backbone and Knockout) that justifies that statement.

I'm fairly certain there's not much of a point having jQuery in Ember and there's certainly no point in using it in jQuery (unless you just blatantly append random UI libraries -- most jQuery UI widgets can be implemented with fewer lines of React).
I wonder why a large retailer like Walmart doesn't start incentivizing their suppliers to do this as well?

Some math.

-Assume a fixed 120 customers an hour

-Assume each customer buys 20 items

-1 minute for customer to pay + 1 minute total scanning time for all items = 30 customers / cashier / hour (4 cashiers needed)

-Assuming additional barcodes double the scanning time (seems reasonable to me from my experiences at Aldi):

-1 minute for customer to pay + 30 seconds scanning time = 40 customers / cashier / hour (3 cashiers needed)

Savings of $12 an hour ($8/hr + taxes, training, insurance, etc)

120 customers * 20 items per customer = 2400 items total in the hour

$12 savings / 2400 items = $0.005 per item savings

Obviously the assumptions were a bit simplistic, but couldn't Walmart offer their suppliers, say 10% of the estimated savings, $0.0005, per item to add a few more barcodes?

It's smaller than the big embed info screen, but there's a download button that gives you a zip of your selected fonts in the top right of the "selected fonts" dialog.
Unit tests are essential, but they only cover the errors that the person writing the tests thought to write. Given that even the highest coverage code I've ever worked on could still be riddled with bugs, I submit that us humans can be pretty bad at thinking of all the tests we should write.

Static typing, by contrast, covers all type errors, which can take care of quite a bit if you know how to use the type system to your advantage. On top of that, if you don't rely on a refactoring tool (which I recommend avoiding for anything non-trivial) then the compiler will guide you to all the spots where that type is being used, which gives you an opportunity to re-evaluate the correctness of the code that uses it.

Is it more work? Yes. Is that a bad thing? Many would argue it's a good thing.

> that's not what Comcast did

Which part of it did they not do?

> That's also not at all what peering agreements are.

Peering agreements mean plugging the pipes into the device. Not having peering agreements means unplugging some of the capacity, which has the effect of throttling.

I'm not really sure why you're so insistent on this sophistry. There are pipes with enough capacity from Netflix to Comcast. There are pipes with enough capacity from Comcast to its customers. Anything they do in that Comcast building which prevents the traffic from flowing at full speed is going to be equivalent to throttling.

Even with 2 people - most ingredients I purchase are assuming 3-4 eaters the "large sizes" assume 6-8. If you don't eat leftovers it can get pricey or you end up eating more than you probably should...

The other issue I run into is that most of my food goes bad before I even finish it coupled with the fact I refuse to even have "leftovers". I either buy too little of what I need (smaller amounts/sizes) and end up spending more money for not purchasing bulk, or I waste money by throwing away surplus after it has expired. It's a fine balance to try and get "just the right amount". I often find myself throwing away 1/2 a loaf of bread, several meals worth of lunch meats, rotten fruits/vegetables, etc. And that's keeping some items a while after the "use by:" date...

An example of my problem:

1 gallon of milk is often too much. ½ a gallon of milk is often too little. It is cheaper (both economically and time spent going to the store) to buy 1 gallon of milk and dump it when it goes bad than to buy ½ a gallon as I need it.
Surely there are people on HN that know about it and can pitch in ... I hope so.
It's pretty easy to argue against that comic. Most of it is made-up anecdote. 2 of the 3 testable claims it makes are completely and nonsensically wrong, almost to the point of complete fabrication. The third testable claim I don't know how to google.

Poor Americans don't live in overcrowded homes. Only 3.3% of those homes have "severe physical problems" (what I'm interpreting the comic to mean), and they typically have 2 rooms/person.

http://www.census.gov/prod/2008pubs/h150-07.pdf

60% of poor children have parents who didn't work at all during the year. In contrast, 51% of Americans 18-64 whole did work full time year round.

http://www.census.gov/content/dam/Census/library/publication...

I don't have stats on classes sizes - do you? I suspect the author of that comic didn't bother to google before writing it.

I'm not even going to try and refute the made-up anecdotes, e.g. dying father, parents who don't care about academics, and a boss who looks like a dog.

Deterministic is a side effect/quality of simple processes, but that's not the point. The point is "a single break in the chain will undermine its entire function"

To use the brain example. Imagine crossing a forest, daily, every day of your whole life. At first you're bushwhacking randomly. Eventually you build a trail. And the brush is allowed to grow thicker around the trail, as it's untrodden. That trail which aids you now is also a weakness of the system. If it were to get washed out or obstructed, you wouldn't know/have no where else to go.

Likewise with neural pathways.
Agreed, depending on what VNese city you're in, FB use in VN and the US differ dramatically. When I was in HCMC, generally speaking people use FB in the same manner that we're familiar with. When I visited a much smaller province about 2hrs away, those who I met during the week there were VERY eager to friend foreigners (since foreigners in their city were so few and far between compared to the big cities), and likewise they were very active on FB, liking everything and everyone.

Thinking about this in terms of a "direct competitor" is the wrong way to frame a potential business and nearly impossible at this point, I think.

LinkedIn is fantastic at being LinkedIn.

The only way to bring them down would be to approach a part of the problem they solve in a completely different way and in a compelling enough way that would make a piece of LinkedIn irrelevant.

You can only compete by making LinkedIn irrelevant, not by building a better LinkedIn.

I agree here with the word "possible".

However, progress on this front would be slow due to the increased cost of software development. Software would be much more difficult to write leading to longer lead times for applications.

I don't think the app stores would scale at the same rate that it did for iPhone or Android.

One analogy is parallel programming. This is generally very difficult, so people avoid it, even when hardware vendors give you get a bounty of cores. Another example is GPGPU - very slow progress on mapping data-parallel apps to the GPU (image processing etc.).

We may not know what future devices and applications are not possible due to Moore's Law's end. Another example is the recent explosion in deep learning - this was only possible due to the increase in FLOP density as a direct consequence of Moore's Law. These algorithms were around in the 80s.

Oh come on, you're calling this pseudoscience and then pulling out SENS? Aubrey de Grey is in the "not even wrong" category, mainly making broad and vague claims which cannot really be tested.

There was a paper on SENS in EMBO reports [1], titled "Science fact and the SENS agenda", which concluded

"none of de Grey's therapies have ever been shown to extend the lifespan of any organism, let alone humans."

If you want to actually talk about research into aging, stay far away from SENS, as it's not research.

Up to is fine; but how much will I get when everyone wants to use it at once? Be honest, tell me a 'safe' number (this means pad it just a little, at least).

Violating this number on a repeating, particularly repeatable basis, means that the portion of the bill which is going to pay for infrastructure upkeep (including expansion) needs to go to fixing this problem.

Failure to have an expedient plan (parts on order by the end of the next business week, maintenance scheduled 'soon') for resolving this should lead to daily fines.
