Essentially there are two rules here: don't post or upvote crap links, and don't be rude or dumb in comment threads.

The most important principle on HN, though, is to make thoughtful comments. Thoughtful in both senses: civil and substantial.

So the principle here is: don't say anything you wouldn't say face to face.

Emphasis mine. That attack on Mark Shuttleworth was absolutely uncalled for and in stark conflict with HN's community guidelines.

On the other hand, we have a solid theory, not some "beliefs". If you want to dismiss the entire PL theory, you have to try really hard to justify such a stupid move first. The problem is, most of the dynamic proponents know next to nothing about the PL theory anyway.

An idea that Iain M Banks plays around with quite a lot in some Culture books.
I have never ridden one (and I really want to ;-) ), but I've heard mixed reports on hills. You can push against the back of the seat, but you lose the advantage of using your weight on the pedals. Can anyone comment on what it's like for difficult hills? I have lots of gradients over 20% here and one of the hills I ride has a 30% section!
Right, so fuck the US even more.
We should make a discussion about how we can prevent this kind of cases happen again.
When you read the latter, you'll find:

Yes, when accelerating, wheel mass is worse
than frame weight, but only a tiny amount.

and Wired's physics are correct in the case of accelerating a wheel to the steady state of a spinning wheel.

Edit:

To expand on this a bit: This "tiny amount" is a lot when you are among people close to your performance. And I'm talking about stiffness vs. weight. Stiffness is just so much more important, because the sum of these infinitesimal losses is just huge:

Modern riders rpm: 100 which equals to 200 energy pulses per minute, because each leg has a rest phase and a full force phase per revolution.
In a 4h race: 240 * 200 which are 48000 pulses. Now imagine you have a super light but not very stiff wheel (because it's light, you know)... that's a lot of lost energy.
As a Brit, your comment makes me cry.
"Airbnb is a case of many people wanting to have their cake and eat it too" -- in fact, considering that the whole company was founded by two bros who couldn't afford their own rent, this is a perfect summation of what Airbnb does. And now that it exists, rents are even more unaffordable than before.

Commenters who want to ignore externalities are Randians with no actual sense of human society. All they see are rules that are in their own personal way, naturally some tyranny or another. Democracy itself is a blight in their eyes, and a business plan should always trump community concerns.

I like watching MMA because it pits all the various styles against eachother with a minimum set of rules. This way, it becomes very apparent which styles work and which don't.

Predictably, more practical and direct styles like boxing and grappling form the bread and butter for most participants and make up the majority of fights. But interestingly, very high-level practitioners of traditional styles, such as karate and taekwondo, are actually extremely effective, and among some of the best fighters in the sport.

I suspect a lot of the fake and impractical looking techniques in e.g. karate are actually useful, but only when practicing at a very high level. I also suspect that this may be by design - to weed out thugs and impatient pupils from the ranks before teaching actually useful martial technique.
Best i can tell, its because humans prefer adding stuff to maintaining stuff. So things end up sprawling over time...
What is the business case for drone delivery with regard to energy efficiency and total cost of ownership and fundamentally to deliver? Except for high value, low-weight items, how do you see competition in the coming years in the face of fleets of autonomous terrestrial vehicles that don't have to lift their payloads into the air?

I know Amazon has said previously most of their items "can" be delivered by drone, but the question remains should and will they, considering the high cost of current battery technology. Will it ever really be financially viable to lift items into the air in an individual manner when you can get them to their destination far more efficiently via the ground? It seems to me the case is for elimination of the human component in delivery.

If drone delivery is really so important, why aren't the major shipping companies working on it and scraping their existing air freight and hub and spoke distribution systems?
Did you measure the acceleration difference that 350g/1800g makes? Say time 0-30 km/h with each set of wheels? (or perhaps better yet 5-30, to avoid starting from a stand-still). Because it sounds absurd that such a small change could be "immediately felt" - assuming bike+rider weighs on the order of 100 kgs.

> supporting massive upgrades to vocational training infrastructure, is a huge missed opportunity.

While I sympathize with the diagnosis, I wonder if this is true. There does not seem to be a lot of evidence for it. The key element as I see it is that the number of niches is not growing in society, which I partly blame on the education system itself.

Supposing it wasn't true, what is your plan?

It is really sad that Google has internal development tools that run circles around Visual Studio, but decide not to share them with the outside world. I don't mean as open-source software, I personally would pay money for a Google Studio and I know my company would also pay for licenses if these were offered. It's especially painful on Linux where the best dev tools are 30 or so years old.

Opaque and Transparent Interpreters
This sounds like a interesting project. I've often thought that cities and towns have struggled to keep pace with lifestyle changes over the years but that mainly because they are inherently hard things to change. So designing a city that will work well both for the present and hundreds of years into the future is a problem that needs solving.

One of the key things you want to achieve is to keep house prices low but this seems like something which will be very hard to achieve. For example if the first of these "new cities" does meet all of the objectives (e.g creating a happy place for people to achieve their potential) won't that raise house prices as people will want to move there?
and then what? Declare war on the US?
The Best and Worst Encrypted Messaging Apps
To underscore your point a bit more, NYC's population actually declined from 7 to 8 million in the 1970s. I recall a poll done in the mid-eighties where more than half of New York City residents said they would move to a different city if they felt they could.

During this period artists and musicians took advantage of the cheap rent and renewed New York's status as cultural center, rebooting the gentrification process. The same thing was going on in Portland 15 years ago, where a lot of musicians and writers I knew at the time had insanely low rent, and incredible communities of like-minded people with a lot of free time. There may be other factors that contribute to why some cities take off this way and others don't, but the depression/rejuvenation cycle seems to have a momentum of its own.
You can try to get your domestic spooks gang up with other EU spooks to stop colluding with the NSA. The agencies use intelligence as currency and you can apply sanctions this way.

Many real fights are one on one without weapons. I think MMA synthesizes such a fight relatively well, with the exception of usually cluttered or cramped environments and wearing real clothes.

As for situations with several opponents, possibly with weapons, I don't think there is a style that will save you here except the old run-fu.

Partly true. Europeans have fairly good opportunities to influence domestic and regional issues. Probably better than the in the US. For instance look at how the data retention directive was invalidated [0]. That said, support for US misconduct in Europe is still surprisingly strong. From US companies paying less tax than European counterparts to blatant spying or kidnapping. I'm not sure what the answer here is other than being more aware of our own interests as persons, nations and regions.

Don't hate the player hate the game :) The human genome is what's screwed up. Things well covered in recent years: Power increases hypocrisy and cognitive bias over-values our own contribution to our success (it is my capital and my idea that made all this wealth, not your work). Also capitalism is explicitly about extracting surplus value from employees. I think this type of behavior from people like Scott is, on the whole, to be expected. But... anyway our genetic predisposition towards fairness makes a rage reaction to this behaviour expected too so hate away. :)

The word came from Czech, first use being from Karel Capek (checked some more sources, including the work from Sevan Nişanyan[1], an Armenian-Turkish language researcher, who would probably be unbiased in this matter).

Another language with the same word used with a closer meaning does not always mean there is a connection. Etymology usually discovers connections which aren't intuitive at all.

I was happy to see the disgust people had for the CIA black sites operated in other countries when that came to light during the Bush presidency. Not because of the torture, but because people here expected alleged terrorists to have the same rights as detained American citizens. I feel this is important to note, because we have a large population of young voters who I feel have concern for everyone - not just the US. This is very different from how my grandparents vote and I do think it's split along generational lines. In regards to overreaching surveillance: It's not ideal, but we over here do think of you when we vote.. I do.
Today, AWS has announced the general availability of its new India region, which should come as no surprise to any avid cloud engineer. AWS is not a new concept to India with its set of early adopters harnessing and driving cloud usage in the country for many years. As with all regional expansions, AWS must develop a highly knowledgeable and skilled local technical community. To help drive this process, Cloud Academy is excited to announce an introductory offer for Indian residents to celebrate the launch of the AWS India region.

GM to Pay Record $35 Million Fine Over Ignition Switch Recalls (May 2014)

Is there any reason to believe that no European countries do this kind of thing? Relative to national budgets, this kind of stuff can't cost that much. Dunno where the EU is on their EU-level army right now, but it'd stand to reason that a EU-security org would do exactly this kind of stuff. The UK certainly has no qualms about it.

Even the US's allies will try stunts as bad as false flag bombings[1]. So it's not like they can only monitor non-allies. So they can't shut down spying, and perhaps it just becomes a never-ending escalation of power then. Might as well grab all data. I don't like it, but I can understand how they might arrive at that position.

Probably the only hope is to outlaw this worldwide, perhaps in some human rights kind of thing, then actually apply punishment for those caught. That seems unlikely to really work though. Even now, we have countries that steal nuclear tech and don't get punished - few will view spying as worse than that.

I am really amazed by the comments I read so I am voluntarily going to "defend" VW while I would not in other circumstances. To make sure this is understood: yes VW is guilty, it has violated customers' trust, they are a shame for the entire car industry and should receive strong punishment for that.

Yet, how can everybody forget about all other car manufacturers - especially US? They pretty much all lie about their gas emissions as proven by different experts and agencies [1] [2] [3].

Why? Because we have improved our gas emission limits to a level that most car manufacturers couldn't reach over the short run. Take the example of European car makers. The European Commission started to really regulate car emissions in 2010. At that time, car makers were faced with dropping sales (double crisis 2008 and 2010), stable/slightly increasing costs (wage inflation and poor labour market flexibility - German is an exception in Europe) and stable/slightly decreasing prices (due to competition and few new vehicles). In this context, how can you expect car makers to invest in "traditional cars" to reduce gas emissions and in electric and autonomous vehicles to fight against the competition of tech car companies like Tesla or Google. That is just not possible.

So who is responsible? Of course VW and other car makers are all responsible for that mess and the disastrous consequences on environment. But WE are also responsible: we want safer, cleaner, cheaper and stronger vehicles from traditional car makers but but you can't have everything all at once. Tesla can do it because that they start from a "blank page", with no turnaround costs. For VW, GM, Toyota, that's another story. Maybe we should just keep that in mind before charged them with a "corporate death penalty"...

Most "real fights" that are "one on one without weapons" can be avoided. Fighting for pride, or fun, isn't self-defence. [ed: Not to mention the fact that a "cluttered environment" is an environment rich in weapons. Be that bottles, knifes, fire axes, bar stools, bricks or metal pipes etc.]
Couple of notes:

- This is a technique, and it's a toolset, but most importantly it's a commitment. Google could have split this up many times. In fact, this would have been the "easy" thing to do. It did not. That's because this strategic investment, as long as you keep working it, keeps becoming more and more valuable the more you use it. Taking the easy way out helps today -- kills you in the long run.

- This type of work just isn't as important as regular development, it's more important than regular development, because it's the work that holds everything else together.

- In order for tests to run in any kind of reasonable amount of time, there has to be an architecture. Your pipeline is the backbone you develop in order for everybody else to work

- You can't buy this in a box. Whatever you set up is a reflection of how you evolve your thinking about how the work gets delivered. That's not a static target, and agreement and understanding is far more important than implementation. I'm not saying don't use tools, but don't do the stupid thing where you pay a lot for tools and consultants and get exactly Jack Squat. It doesn't work like that.

Aerodynamics trumps weight for cyclists, even for wheels.

"In summary, wheels account for almost 10% of the total power required to race your bike and the dominant factor in wheel performance is aerodynamics. Wheel mass is a second order effect (nearly 10 times less significant) and wheel inertia is a third order effect (nearly 100 times less significant)."

Of course not. The point is to have a strong BATNA, as negotiations people put it. The USA is actually a great example of this principle. Their military spending is the biggest in the world. What for? Do they intend to eradicate all other nations so that only Americans remain? I hope not. More probably, they spend all these resources because they don't like it when other nations tell them what to do.
