The difference is that in most languages eval() parses a character string as code and evaluates it, whereas in Lisp you evaluate language objects (e.g. lists of symbols) rather than strings.

We can read inside peoples heads. We call it listening. What people want is to feel important, some rape, some jihad, and some virtue signal.

You're cash negative even bothering to measure their riskiness.

I have nothing against capitalism but it's a little ironic you bring up patents and capitalism in the same paragraph since patents are almost the antithesis of free form market capitalism. The equivalent in a purely capitalist system I believe is a trade secret which is different from a patent. Companies can have trade secrets but they can't sue each other over them. In fact I think that's the crux of the problem. There is no such thing as a trade secret in software and hardware. As soon as there is an existence proof equivalent implementations are sure to follow.

This goes back to what I've been arguing in this thread. The design space is very limited and the mathematical, physical, axiomatic nature of the field means there are only so many things you can actually design and implement and as soon as it is implemented everyone else can trace back the design to first principles.

As for R&D. Many of the best innovation in computers came from publicly funded projects. So I don't think the commercial nature of modern computing is actually helping anything. We had a system that worked and it was replaced by what we have now. I could just point people to historical precedent but we all know how well that works.
Interesting that there's no easily found mug shot of him considering he's in Fed Prison.

In India, about 25 years ago, the govt instituted export credits. Basically, in order to import anything, you needed to have export credits. So, export credits became a fungible currency. And people started exporting all kinds of crap under the guise of something legit, just to obtain export credits. People were exporting bricks, calling them shoes, and then selling the export credits. Of course, government officials were involved end-to-end in the scam (via relatives and friends, as is usually done there). Sad to see similar things are happening in the US now.
Currently Muslims are the main targets and by far the most numerous victims of terrorist action, so there probably is a correlation.

Generally people that could work wherever they want and choose to not chase after money will probably go for something that has a high moral value (or is a noble cause) to them, like helping the poor. But not something like this.

I'd imagine that the only thing they might get out if this is political power which should translate into money.

I don't think it's the ease of integration into the USA, but the fact that the Muslim immigrants to the USA tend to be better educated and more well off than the immigrants and refugees heading into Europe.

Intel's ISA is protected by fear of its army of lawyers, something from which no small company could (financially) survive a head on attack.

I worked on an x86 clone 20 years back, we analysed Intel's patents in depth to make sure we were safe, the biug one for us was Intel's segmentation/MMU patent - they essentially had patented segmentation followed by (unrelated) mmu processing - there was obvious prior art (cough 360, cough) but that's a bit of crap shoot, I came up with a brilliant way around this, only to discover a patent from someone else in the process of doing an x86 clone (Exponential I think). In the end we conflated our segmentation hardware and our TLBs effectively bypassing the core of Intel's patent

Also, in case one of writelatex folks reads this- HN now automatically gives many articles a "second chance" by surfacing articles again on /newest, so there shouldn't be a need to keep resubmitting the same article with a slightly adjusted URL.
Yes, it raises the abstraction level to allow 'meta' programming as the normal level. Brown university had a chapter on their old PAIP book saying that they voluntarily skipped parsing because it's of no interest, so they used a scheme as a basis for classes.
Yes I had shoulder inflammation from tennis, doctors wanted to stick a needle in my shoulder regularly. Did some research and nope it doesn't work. I tried some weights and so on to get it fixed, it had some benefit but still there, so just thought I'd have to live with it. Some years later I took up some reformer pilates and it's gone! after only a few months exercise - it is truly a miracle. I recommend it to everyone who has aches and pains it's magic.

I also had tennis elbow some years ago, the doctor had no advice, Tai Chi helped me with that, same principle I suppose - gentle exercises for the small muscles. Though the results from Pilates have worked everywhere.

TBH It's been a pain many areas. It runs hot, the touchpad is overly sensitive. Other things that were a pain are now fixed (like Nvidia/Intel optimus support), also put in a better Wifi Card helped.

Apart from that, the predecessor is not particularly durable - though the new one seems to have an all metal case, so might not have a problem with easily broken hinges like this one does.

It's probably best to not think of buying property as an "investment" in the same sense that buying other monetary instruments is. You must pay to live somewhere, and by purchasing the property you live in, you do a more efficient job of capturing and minimizing that expense. In most places, the cost to rent is within spitting distance of the average monthly mortgage.

All things being equal, buying parks some of your money until some point in the future when you can recover it, instead of just giving it to somebody else to park.

In general, since the population of the Earth is growing, and we're not adding much more land to the planet (in fact, we may be doing the reverse), the inventory of available land shrinks and property is likely to increase in value at at least the rate of inflation, but often slightly higher over decades.

Not great if you think of it as investment, but far better than showing it as a raw expense.

There is undersupply in houses in good markets. This is why I invest in a house in a good market. There is oversupply in most business categories. This is why I would rather invest in a house.

What are these business needs that will be met if I reallocate my capital? Do we need another car company? Can Amazon.com not raise enough capital to grow AWS? etc etc

People who invest in homes in good markets understand supply and demand pretty well.

For most people, a home is an investment they understand which delivers utility every day they live in it and augments their retirement when they downsize. It isn't very complicated.

I think the subtext here, for better or for worse, is that regular folks have made a lot of money off of real estate since the 2009 crash. Startup people like to think of themselves as smart, and it bothers many of them that regular folks have actually done quite well while they are rolling the dice. Smart people are supposed to have better outcomes than regular folk, apparently.

As mentioned, `eval` executes code. While macros are generally about manipulating code for eventual evaluation, `read` enables more than that, for instance static analysis.

The distinction is also explicit in the term "REPL" (read eval print loop), though many REPLs just pass the input to an interpreter.

It should work reliably but only with "modern" jpeg files. Older files have a slightly different (shorter; no exif stuff) header that makes them more ambiguous. So some of those might not get detected properly but it should work for anything taken by a modern camera/phone.

PNGs should always work as that format is very easy to detect.

Grew up in Rochester. Both my father and Grandfather did about 30 years at Kodak at a fairly high level.

How can you transition from the highest margin CPG product of all time to a new regime where there are almost no marginal costs per use? Kodak had well over 100k employees at its peak and was a global brand just like coke. They even saw their demise decades before it occurred.

But what is management supposed to do in a quarterly environment where CEOs are getting ousted other than double down on their success and cut costs? There was never any real money to be made in digital photography and if anyone was going to figure it out, they certainly weren't living in Rochester.
Anyone who needs to distinguish 20 shades of green would develop the ability to do so. That's more culture or experience than language. Having names for them just means they have some need to communicate that information. You could do the same in English by drawing words or codes from color lists like websafe, Pantone, etc.

An example where language forces our thinking and even actions instead of simply allowing us to express it easily is plurals. Plurals force us to include unneeded number information in a lot of our thinking and talking. We have to have at least 2 cars to say "I have some cars" when showing off, otherwise admit that we only have one. You can see it in writing that uses "I" or "we" too. It reveals how many people it represents. A 2-person company can look much bigger than a 1-person company because it can use "we", "our", etc. just the same as a 1000000 person company does.

Yes, it seems to me doctors have cures for a bunch of standard stuff that have been diagnosed over the years. If you have something that they don't know then you're on you're own and that's probably why there's such a huge alternative medicine market.

If they want to operate get a second opinion (at least), if you or someone in your family have something that you think is a problem then keep going to doctors till you find a solution. Don't just take the first doctors answer if they don't know.

If you're in the chronic pain or odd problem area though then if doctors can't help go the diet / alternative medicine route - they may have an answer.

There's a lot modern medicine doesn't know, and most practitioners don't know it all anyway.
The author seems like he either knows nothing about real estate or, as you said, has other motives that aren't clear.

He completely ignores the effect of mortgages (leverage) and the expense of renting instead of buying. He ignores investment property (as you highlighted), the ROI of building on vacant land, tax advantages of owning, and numerous other factors.

Having read your comment six hours after you made it and many that follow, I find it telling that in response to your complaint that the definitions of middle class and rich are made up in the article, you have a bunch of people coming in and making up definitions seemingly based on little more than their gut feelings of what the terms should mean.

If there's nothing approaching a consensus about what given words or phrases mean then perhaps they shouldn't be used.
> This is why the SP500 craps on real estate.

This is a limited view. For this one needs to include debt opportunity and tax. Try and get a $1mil loan at 95% LVR on shares. Good luck with that. With property this is often fine. Property lets you work at high leverage points due to its safer nature. In this way your $100k of shares might have a higher return but once you leverage to a $1mil house at that capital level, the smaller percentage return pays more overall.

Also in many countries you dont pay tax on residential property you live in which adds 15%-40% value as you take profits.

Completely agree on the heavy deployment of capital in many of today's property markets. The business and society cost of high house pricing is not discussed enough. I feel its a great way to stagnate an economy if we continue this.

What is the difference between a small business and a home? My home "employs" people (I just had two roofers earn $4k doing work on my home yesterday), it requires investment and risk...it doesn't generate a cash flow, but 90% of startups don't either.

Lets flip this around...if two people came to Palo Alto in 2009 with a $2 million fund, one doing a starup and the other buying a home...the one doing a startup would have a 90% chance of failure with a 0.1% chance of tripling their money...the other who purchased a home would have had a 99% chance of at least doubling their money, and a 100% chance of making at least a 25% gain. Who is the smart one?
I wish I had saved the article but I remember reading somewhere (and just paraphrasing here) that the team that works on the iPhone make it good enough so you'll use your iPad (tablet) less, then the iPad team makes it so good you'll use your MacBook less, and so on. I think it's great forward thinking to be always trying to put one of your largest product lines out of business as a way to constantly innovate. In so doing, you hopefully have less chances of having to lay off tens of thousands of people because you tried hard to stay ahead of the curve.
Why are you on Hacker News if you can't even understand a comment written in English?
Oh man, is this relevant to my interests. An organization I founded is currently in a state-level Freedom of Information law fight -- using the Missouri Sunshine Law -- against the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services, asking for two database dumps as CSV files. The databases have millions of records covering decades of data, but only about four columns, so this should take a couple of hours to export, tops. Of course, we're willing to pay for the USB flash drive to put the files on, and cover any unusual labor costs to do the export.

The good news is that the Department has agreed that we should have the legal right to this data.

The bad news is that the Missouri Dept of Health is claiming with a straight face that they can only retrieve one day's worth of data at a time from their mainframe, and must re-run the work job for each and every subsequent day's data. They claim that it is impossible for their software to select for a date range.

And therefore, they have quoted my organization a price of about one million dollars and 2.6 years to select and deliver our data.

Indeed. Hopefully SpaceX can do less, since their hardware is more robust. The Space Shuttle engines were driven at the edge of failure because they needed every last bit of performance. SpaceX's designs tend to go for robustness at the cost of efficiency, so they ought to need less work.
