There is no way anyone would think that. At least for the case of ingress and pokemon go. You have literally thousands of stops and each one has a photo of the place, so users very quickly understand that the photograph is just to guide them to the place in question rather than any sort of sponsored endorsement. The idea is to photograph and guide people to interesting spots in their city they might otherwise not know about. I personally stumbled upon a plaque detailing the life of a poet who happened to live in a building I was passing. I could see the spot indicator in the app, but I couldn't see the plaque itself from the street. The photo helped me realise that the plaque is obscured from view from the sidewalk by a tree and one has to walk right up to the building to see it. I would have never seen that plaque if it wasn't for the app.

On the other hand, there is a spot right in the middle of an airport close to me. I mean right on the runway. It's been claimed and remained uncontested for a very long time and I suspect the person who claimed it works at the airport. I don't see how it shows me anything novel about the world around me, since I can't really reach it and it's a bit hard to miss an entire airport. If the airport building itself was a spot that might be ok - it is a point of interest and is reachable by public road, but it makes no sense to put the spot in the middle of the runway.

In the end, Niantic needed better moderation of player suggestions for spots. That didn't happen and now we have spots in the middle of the runway and gyms around Area 51. Hopefully they'll open up counter-suggestions for spots to be moved or deleted if they don't make sense.

I think this is the prevailing view within linguistics departments (with a few exceptions). Statistical NLP, machine learning, computational anthropology, developmental psychology, etc. are all increasingly reliant on the non-generative work coming out of psycholinguistics and child language acquisition (Levy, Jaeger, Gibson, Wasow, Tomasello, Lieven, Bannard if you want some names).
> It seems you're more upset at what agriculture has become under capitalism and economies of scale

And even then, it has to be pointed out that it is specifically the economy of scale that is irking the grandparent, not capitalism. The USSR was certainly not capitalist, but its vast centrally planned agriculture was optimized towards efficiency, not towards feel-good/organic qualities, and exhibited all the problems (except perhaps GMOs because they were not developed at the time) that people who rail against contemporary capitalism tend to complain about.
That assumption wouldn't work. If the script console is a separate Lua environment, it's completely useless. As long as it's the same environment that the rest of the game/addons use (which it must be), then there's no "mitigation" that can be done like you're hoping for.

I couldn't disagree more. If such incidents were rare two decades ago and increasingly common today, then clearly something is going wrong. In fact, you try to make that same argument later in your post, saying that we creating the terrorism through our actions and making ourselves less safe. Which one is it?

There's a difference between self-inflicted harm and violence inflicted on strangers. Terrorist attacks in France over the last year are almost 50% on top of the normal murder rate. And while most murder victims are killed by people they were in personal conflict with, the victims of terrorism are random. There is good reason to fear them more.

Functional is one of the many possible idioms of declarative programming.

It's just one that's completely focused on an idealization of "software", instead of any more concrete problem. That makes it more general than most. And the functional idealization is more similar to what real computers run than other representations (some people already mentioned Prolog). Those give FP some advantages over the others, at least for now.
Residency is a solved problem for income taxes. But that's a completely different issue from occupying a particular residence; for example, an international student may for tax purposes be a resident of his country of nationality despite not setting foot in it all year.

But that's my point - the person emitting the bytecode needs to be the one doing the work to re-use local variable indices. And the algorithm for doing that is register allocation. So even if you target the JVM you may still need to know how to do register allocation, and it isn't some historical piece of trivia.

For every local variable index, the JVM needs to keep the value live for the duration of the method because that's what the debugger will show.

And yes we have seen the 64k limit blown by real programs in the wild that aren't designed to be awkward (I'm in the VM research group at Oracle).

DCC of assets for something like GTA is magnitudes larger than anything Valve does.

Rockstar has an army of artists working on those assets for that game. Valve is a multidisciplinary house where they dabble in a lot of stuff, split in smaller groups, but their primary vehicle is Steam and a couple of (successful) games where each project does not need as many people. It's comparing apples to oranges.

What Rockstar does demands an army of artists. If Valve were to do same type of game world, they would have an army also. They do not do the same thing though.

If Rockstar were to do what Valve does, they would also have a number of people split into smaller teams working on their own things. They do not do the same thing though.

That's why you can't say it's all Rockstar does with same number of people. Those people are not the same skill and those projects are not the same.

Rockstar's yield, if you're comparing the game industry, is a level above Valve. It's a level above most. It's really not a good example to compare to. They are on the leading edge of what they do. An area Valve isn't in. Maybe if you've compared Avalanche Studios and Just Cause 3. They had 75 core-member team in a studio of 250 and, who knows how many, outsourced people.
Well definitely a valid response. But it still seems like a bigger problem to beat professional traders using Zipline, than to spend time looking out for a good company that is being sold for a price that I really like.

In the latter case, investing and looking for value, it seems to me like an amateur can even give himself a little edge over the pros.

First, it's a worse fate for most professional money managers to miss out on some bull market, than to go down together with all his colleagues.

Second, amateurs working with their own money are not evaluated every quarter or even every year. They can just wait and keep looking if unsure. There are no mandates or arbitrary limitations, so the amateurs are free to look for value wherever they can find it. They can look in places that would require more patience, or that have a bit less liquidity or some more volatility (because they will typically have less money to move in/out the stock).

Of course, the pro will definitely have benefits in terms of legislation, taxes and lowering the costs of research vis. the amount of money being invested.

But in the end: does the extra information and non-GAAP stuff that the pros use, help so much over common sense and a decent understanding of accounting? (That's a genuine question, not a statement.) In fact, does succesful investing even involve outsmarting everyone else in the same way that trading does?

Apologies. There's another commenter in this thread focused on superiority and I think I confused you two.

I would like to highlight how this argument engenders emotional hyperbole, though. My position is that there are likely uncomfortable genetic differences to be revealed ahead. You characterize this view as the "inevitable truth that some races are genetically predisposed to stupidity."

3) It's a very apt analogy. Tons of especially lower level candidates are doing weird tricky CS problems at interview even if they're building yet more basic reporting systems.

Regarding abstraction, why don't you ask them to describe projects they did, instead of grilling them on concocted problems you know are beneath the level of person you wish to hire?

Genghis Khan died in 1227, meaning ~40 generations since then. If a random person sired two sons in 1227, and each of them had two offspring in each generation who in turn had children, that's 2^40 = 1e12 progeny today.
To put communism in perspective, it killed as many people as were alive in 1 C.E. Or roughly 15% of the population at the time the cultural revolution ended. This is also roughly the number who died from Malaria in the 20th century.
In the long term do people see the automobile industry as a growth industry? Will there be more cars on the road per capita in the future or less?

Some trends make me think there will be less cars around in the future. The average age at which people get drivers licenses is rising for example as it is becoming easier to live without them. The car sharing network Car2Go, which one could look at as an early example of how a vast autonomous car network would work, has shown to take 11 cars off the road for each that it adds[1]. Lastly there is a renaissance in many cities right now with planners turning away from car oriented infrastructure, and more strongly focusing on pedestrians, cyclists and public transit. It seems to me that a lot of the car oriented thinking of the 1950s that resulted in the cities we see today is discredited amongst planners and they are trying to move us away from that.

I wonder where Apple believes the car market share is going. Even if automobiles aren't a growth industry they may think it's worthwhile to them to try to take a good share of the luxury market.

> Most of the troubles with functional programming come when you actually have to do something.

Nah, when you say "do something", you are referring to something we call "side effects" and is generally frowned upon.

Your program should consist of pure functions only, be side-effects free, and there should be no state.

Of course, such a program can't do anything useful, but you see, that is not the point.

And if you don't see the point, you can't be helped.

Am I doing this right?
In high school, I learned top down--projects first, math second. Now in school doing EE, I do bottom up--math first, projects second. I think having that top down experience in high school was tremendously helpful because I have experience in the entire full stack -- transistors to Javascript.

I don't think there's much of a shift there. You're talking about fields which never had much of a connection with generative linguistics, and where there's no logical reason to think that results in generative linguistics should be particularly relevant or helpful. (Who ever thought that Barriers would have anything to tell us about computational anthropology?)

Generative linguistics is in fact increasingly relevant to NLP, since people are moving towards more complex language models. That's not to say that cutting edge research in syntax is going to be helpful to people trying to solve practical NLP problems, but by the same token, string theory isn't much use if you're trying to build a bridge. It tends to be the basic and well-established results within a field that have useful applications outside it.
> Very frequently. The simple theorems that equational reasoning supports are very convenient for refactoring and optimizing code.

I was generalizing across all programmers. Of course individual cases may vary, and it really depends on the code that you write!

> Not really. Statically typed OO doesn't prove nearly as much about the behavior. This is mostly due to potential for aliasing of stateful sub-components.

Haskell simply avoids aliasing with value semantics, and even then you can add it back and get the same problems.

> That's simply untrue. Encapsulated state in Haskell can be modeled by a variety of types. One is `Machine i o = i → (o, Machine i o)`. Such machines can be composed, each component machine having its own internal, encapsulated state.

I'm not disagreeing. My point is that you have to bury the state in something else, which is then exposed via a signature (well, in Haskell which supports this, of course).

> I'd say pure FP is a lot younger.

We could debate a lot on what pure FP is, what pure OO is, and who climbed the ladder faster. But the fact that paradigms developed around the same time is probably due to the programming field maturing in that time frame.
I'm sure the method was different, but way back in the day when I was playing Phantasy Star Online on the Sega Dreamcast, "digital mugging" was a common occurrence. The attacker would walk up the the victim, ask them to trade, and the victim's interface would lock up causing them to have to reboot the console. When they logged back in, all of their gear and money was gone. If the player hadn't been to the bank to make a deposit recently, they were screwed out of potentially hours of game-time work.

I never did learn how this was accomplished; it happened to me only once, after that I ignored any player I didn't know in real life, which cut out the MMO part of the game for me.
Never thought I'd see Polycom on HN. Interned for 2 complete years at Polycom, mainly writing internal tools and doing random IT work.

> You're plainly layering a bunch of your own stuff on top of my argument.

There is baggage associated with your argument, and it didn't originate from me. You can't deny that. What you can do is acknowledge the baggage and disavow it. You have not done so, which leads me to suspect that you might be comfortable with the baggage.

As far as I can tell, all you have contributed to this conversation are the assertions that inherent racial differences "almost certainly" exist and that those who disagree have a world view that is inconsistent with universal basic rights, followed by affectedly exasperated claims that anyone who disagrees with you is simply too encumbered by hang-ups and complexes to understand your reality. Do you understand that even if your position is genuinely non-racist, you have completely failed to communicate that? Part of communication is recognizing the broader context in which our words will be interpreted and addressing that context. We do not have the privilege of communicating in a vacuum.

Put another way, and charitably assuming that you are not a white supremacist, what's different between what you have said and what a white supremacist would say if they were trying to be oblique about it?
Dota 2 and CS:GO are the only titles Valve has put out in some time, and I'd argue they're not the best examples.

Valve has been throwing money and man-hours at Dota 2 relentlessly, but the game's playerbase is still tiny compared to LoL. I imagine they have only a couple more years to try to figure this out before the gaming zeitgeist moves away from traditional MOBAs completely.

CS:GO has been in an alternating state of either complete neglect or completely tone-deaf changes. Most patches from recent memory have been despised by the community and quickly reverted. The game seems to be the red-headed stepchild of Valve properties, run by a skeleton crew of people who don't really understand the game.

Meanwhile, Blizzard just blew the doors off the market by revitalizing a game format that Valve invented. I suspect there is a huge internal struggle at Valve right now to determine whether the company will be a content producer or a platform.
That wasn't what I was arguing, though it speaks to the problem of highly-centralised decisionmaking systems.[1]
