In sentence preceeding the one you've quoted, the author refers to Eisntein's laws of general relativity and the Standard Model, and with that context the sentence makes sense. These 'classical' models do indeed suggest a time-symmetric universe. The whole problem here is reconciling classical models with quantum mechanical models, which as you've noted do not suggest a time symmetric universe.
When people say "honor code" around me, it usually means, "Do something honorable, even though it's against your self interest."

For both white hats and Pornhub, the legal/authorized bounty system is in their interest. White hats are making less money than some black hats, but they're not constantly terrified of being prosecuted under intense anti-hacking laws. Pornhub is spending a lot less than they would if they were hacked by black hats. Both parties win.

It depends on the code base and use case. For the vast majority of coders, the time/cost savings will be in the usability of the language itself rather than the hardware required to run the code.

It can take a long time just to get the opengl type programming understood. I've been studying this: http://lazyfoo.net/tutorials/SDL/index.php which I think does a terrific job explaining many of the important concepts while at the same time giving you useful outline code that you can use to quickly prototype your game. Best of all you supposedly can port this to many devices (it's an SDL tutorial).
I don't know if you understand my point but just want to argue for the sake of winning over a conversation, or if you don't even agree with my point to begin with.

My point is, doing whatever you can just because you can is not always the right thing regardless of its legality. It is an asshole behavior on my book to betray someone's trust regardless of whether it's legally ok to do so or not. An asshole is an asshole. Feel free to defend that asshole if you want. I'm just not on that boat.

I have tons of other analogy I would like to use but you'll probably try to make counter arguments about those little expressions instead of the real point so I will stop here.
You should probably add a one-liner about what HammerJS does to your readme. Saying you've made a port of something that is somewhat obscure doesn't really help someone find your thing, if they don't know HammerJS does what they need.

Not sure about the Switzerland thing. My firewall sees connections from U.S. servers when installing and using it.

They may not have the HQ in the U.S., but if they still have servers in the U.S., we've seen with Megaupload, and now KAT, that the U.S. thinks its entitled to jurisdiction over the company.

So at the very least, the company should have its lawyers already work on a strong jurisdiction defense, if they want to be prepared and maintain their credibility once the U.S. gov comes after them.
Twitter has been censoring right-leaning political figures for the past few years. Is it any surprise that leaked emails, which makes many Democrats in the DNC look bad, would be censored as well?

Many people really don't care about censorship..until their point-of-view is marginalized, ignored, and silenced.

Normally, I would say it's just desserts, but it just shows many people's sad view of 'freedom'

The downvotes probably have more to do with the perceived ideology the downvoters read into (or from) your post.

And I have to say I was also tempted to do so.

Non the less I do believe a counter argument being more productive.

I for example know a lot of companies having a great founder and a great culture as well as values. And are (at least in the founder's eyes) quite successful.

OK they are no Google. But none the less I like working in one of these.

Bear in mind that at almost(?) every large company out there the mission statement (written or not) is really

"Our Mission is to make money for our investors and the executives who were able to negotiate their own contracts and who control how we do business. We make money primarily by (selling products|providing services|entertaining people). Where we can do so without impacting our fiduciary responsibilities, we may attempt to do the 'right' thing - particularly in situations where we can get positive press or customer relations out of it - but that's a preference not a responsibility and may be considered part of our marketing budget."

This may seem cynical, but it's basically the way it has to be at any publicly-held company and most privately-held companies that get VC funding. If you tell investors "We're going to put social responsibility/open source ahead of repaying your investment or providing you with profits," good luck finding investors. Entities that put social responsibility, etc. higher are generally called non-profit, not-for-profit, foundation, etc. and I'm not aware of any that could be described as "a big tech company."
There is no splitting-of-worlds in many-worlds.

The central idea behind many worlds is that the concept of "measurement" is extraneous and can be removed. When to particles interact on a quantum level, they become entangled. The behaviour of this entanglement is well understood and accurately described by pretty simple (but potentially counter-intuitive) math. Our best description of these systems involves them being in a superposition of many states. We have also observed in experiments these superimposed states turn back into pure states, in exactly the way we would expect from the time reversible equations governing quantom mechanics.

The idea behind many-worlds is that "measurement" is just a bunch of these quantom interactions. In theory, we could reverse these interactions in the same way we could reverse them at a two particle level. In practice, this never happens because it is the same idea as the Earth shooting out a giant asteroid. Theoretically possible as the time reverse of an asteriod hitting Earth, but massively improbable.
I've heard that actual scientists and economists are just a type of professional writer, as they must "publish or perish". I've even heard that in those publications, there is a push towards constructing narratives and telling stories.

Do you know of scientists or economists who aren't paid to write that I can read from?

This is absolutely true. They actually have a hostile attitude towards contributions. I used to work at a Magento shop (bad times all round) and my (extremely talented) colleague would often submit patches for long-standing bugs through the ticket tracker which would never appear in general release. Tickets would go for months without responses. It's commercial software at the end of the day. With an obscene price tag on it to scam cash out of non-technical business founders.

I didn't like my magento job much :/
My impressions in order from positive to negative are that the visual appearance is great, the UI is OK, and the actual recommendations are poor.

For the UI, I think a verb like "Rate" would be much better than "I've seen this". I like the in-place popup with the stars. Unlike some others, I felt like having 4 options didn't let me distinguish between movies that were enjoyable, and movies that I'd call my favorites.

Showing a movie summary on hover would be helpful. Clicking the image and then going back scrolls to the top of the page if you rated the movie on the details page. Inability to click to see details on movies already rated was awkward, as sometimes I'd rate a movie and then be unsure if it was the movie I thought it was. Would be nice to know if "Hide" implies "Not Interested" for the recommendations, or just doesn't show it again.

I liked the ability to just jump in and rate things, but forced sign up to proceed felt slimy. Better to nag here ("Your ratings might be lost if you leave the site before you create an account") than sneak up on the user and force them to comply. If it hadn't been a Show HN, I would have bailed here.

The real problem for me was the quality of recommendations. I rated 300+ movies, and didn't feel like I got any recommendations for movies that I felt at all compelled to act on. I don't think any of the recommendations were ones that I'd rate as "Amazing", and I didn't see any drop off in "likability" from the top to middle of the list. Obviously some of this is preconception (maybe I'd love that particular Disney film despite disliking all the others) but preconception needs to be considered to build the user's trust.

The recommended movies that I knew about were generally in the "classic that everyone likes but I don't care about" class. It felt like many of the movies that I didn't know about were mostly in the "popular sequel to a movie I've already ranked as awful". If I've already ranked multiple Batman and Superman movies as awful, suggesting that I have a 63% match the "Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice" makes it hard to trust your methods.

Much of the problems for me are probably caused by the small dataset you are using, not just in terms of ratings but in the catalog itself. I was able to find some of my favorite movies by searching directly for them (Primer, Adam's Apples, Once Were Warriors), but many just weren't in your dataset (Ararat, Metropolitan, Fast Cheap and out of Control, Incident at Loch Ness). Bootstrapping a recommendation engine is difficult, but for me I didn't feel I got any return on effort.

The things that would most improve the site for me would be browsing with item-by-item similarity (people who loved this also loved), ability to directly see ratings by people with similar tastes (needs to be opt-in), ability to see "sandbox" recommendations (if I liked X and hated Y, and if my wife like Y but hated Z, what movie would be both enjoy?), ability to browse by director (I presume others would want actor), and ability to filter recommendations by date (in my case, exclude any pre-1980 films).

Good luck!

> scientists and economists are just a type of professional writer

While true, they're only supposed to write things that can be independently reproduced and verified. If they have to layer narratives on top of their work to get people to care, I don't see any harm in that as long as it doesn't stray outside of the lines of fact.

A problem I've seen myself is that the original scientists aren't always the ones marketing their work. There's someone else (a layperson) at the university paid to do that, and they will often make claims that aren't substantiated by the original research.

> Coding didn't change much.

That's not true and even Sussman acknowledges this:

"The fundamental difference is that programming today is all about doing science on the parts you have to work with. That means looking at reams and reams of man pages and determining that POSIX does this thing, but Windows does this other thing, and patching together the disparate parts to make a usable whole.

Beyond that, the world is messier in general. There’s massive amounts of data floating around, and the kinds of problems that we’re trying to solve are much sloppier, and the solutions a lot less discrete than they used to be."
The only way to learn mathematics is by doing exercises.

This, in my experience, is utterly false.

It does seem to be a pervasive bias in the community, though --cf. the ubiquitous "[missing step] is left as an exercise to the reader", and so forth.
Short answer: Everything.

Longer answer: you keep building something people need. You spend 100% of your time either acquiring users, talking to users, or building what users need.

You set one metric for the company and work towards that. As an early company, that is usually users. Then it is revenue.

That's really all there is.

If being on product hunt gets you users, that's awesome. If not, it's a waste of time.

If being on HN gets you users or feedback from potential users, that's awesome. Otherwise, it is a waste of time. (I'm going to download this and see if I can spin something up for https://romuluscrm.com, so you got at least 1!)

1) Build something people want.
2) Get it into the hands of those people.
3) Charge them money in proportion to the value you're providing.

This is one of the reasons Unity has become so popular in the industry - from a project management point of view, it makes sure that programmers don't start yak-shaving and building tech that's already been built a thousand times by other people.

It certainly has its warts, esp when going into full production, but at least in early development it's really good at making sure you're only building what's unique to your game.
I'm not implying anything, though I very clearly stated the customer, not the bank is the party responsible for allowing the fraud to take place.

Top How  to Know If Your Recruiter Sucks
My favorite is when there is a legitimate controversy in the field, and outsiders cherry pick which side to listen to. Person A references a study that just so happens to support his existing opinion. Person B searches and finds a study that contradicts it. Person A finds some criticism of that study and claims it's been "debunked". And so on, back and forth.

You end up with 2 sides that believe their opinions have been absolutely confirmed by science, and have impressive sounding statistics and studies to reference. When in reality the facts are still uncertain and there is no consensus.

IIRC something like this happened with minimum wage debates. With some studies showing the effect of a higher minimum wage was positive, and others showing it was negative. Almost any political issue will have some of this.

Ask HN: Tell us how you met your SO?
For example, many consider objective morality (race based slavery is bad, say) to be a case for absolute good, which is hard to explain by pure randomness.

I just want to clarify some incredibly common misconceptions here. There are lots of claims on these issues, so it can be difficult to get a clear picture of which claims are actually supported by evidence.

First, from an empirical perspective, all signs point to morality being an evolved phenomenon. This is studied scientifically by surveying different cultures, conducting game-like experiments, and testing for moral behavior in other species. You can find videos of monkeys who appear to have a sense of fairness, for example, and lots of other species (dogs, crows, other primates, etc.) all display varying levels of behaviors we call moral. This is what we would expect to find if these behaviors evolved as adaptations.

Second, "randomness" is not an accurate word to use to describe evolution by natural selection. Mutations are mostly random, but those rare mutations that survive DNA repair mechanisms and produce a reproductive and survival advantage persist and spread. Something similar occurs with cultural memes, including those layers of morality which do not come from instinct.

Finally, though you didn't mention this specifically, it's important to point out that scientists did not decide there was no God and then set out to prove it (a common misconception with some people I know). Most historical scientists were religious, but over time as more and more evidence was collected, scientists in aggregate found that what they had been taught about God was unnecessary for and often contradictory to their scientific discoveries. Thus, despite some scientists remaining religious, science itself is an atheistic process, as that is what has been proven to work.

It's this track record of epistemological success that leads people to accept metaphysical materialism, not an a priori assumption.

If you want more detailed summaries of the empirical support for these arguments, I recommend the book Why Evolution Is True by Jerry Coyne.
Even when you make a distinction to help the company. It only works if the whistleblower is high enough and has the backing of the rest of the leadership. If a regular employee does this the best outcome is they get fired the worst outcome is it turns into a drawn out court battle and the employee loses.

It is the same with HR. HR is not there to protect employees. HR is there to protect the company and the easiest way to do that is to get rid of troublemaking employees even if they are making a valid case.
Unless you're in a military unit that is on the march, what does the number of steps in a kilometer matter for at all? And there is a huge natural variation in human stride length anyway -- you won't be surprised to know that the figure you mentioned for miles is an average that only applies for adult males of military height (i.e. not even shorter men). I think SI units are great for measuring distance at scale. Nanometers, micrometers, millimeters, centimeters, meters, and kilometers are all in common usage, and can represent pretty much anything you'd need. By contrast, it's imperial that has the real problems with use at scale, specifically down at tiny scales.

It's also teaching Americans to go ride bikes again, or it will be eventually. I say this because I currently have 35km worth of eggs "stacked up" beyond the 2 that I'm gradually working on, and I'm sure that I'll accumulate more before I manage to get rid of all of those.

On the upside, it's provided some gamification to the increased walking that I was starting to do anyway, but it's also making me think about getting my bike down from the garage ceiling where it's been hanging for a couple years. Perhaps I'll start riding for quick trips out instead of driving......
