In America your job is tied to your medical benefits. Lots of people would like to just move but can't because their job provides medical insurance. And they might have a preexisting condition preventing them from getting medical insurance elsewhere easily.

So this economics that balances out the part of life you mention, is reduced since people are less mobile due to medical insurance.

If medical insurance was provided by the state (like in most other countries), you would see more people moving where it would be more efficient for them (and the economy) to work.
Not to mention the death of the trade school of learning how to operate machinery and tools for woodworking and metalworking.

> I'm paying exactly the same amount of money as the next US-citizen for the content, yet I am treated differently.

Netflix' official standpoint is that you are paying for access on n screens at a time at x resolution (e.g., FullHD), not for the content.

This is of course complete nonsense — of course we are paying for content — and I have no qualms whatsoever in downloading something available on Netflix US via some torrent if it is not available in my local Netflix catalogue.

I still do wonder why reddit was reimplemented in Python, but with rewrites in other languages I think that rewriting in itself made it more readable and not using the other language. Plus maybe using a web framework instead of doing most by hand, because I assume lisp had even fewer good web frameworks than python then.

> you would expect that the legal alternatives would have content available for such hardware, but they rarely do.

Nope, wouldn't expect that. It'll come slowly, and apparently very grudgingly. It took a decade or more to be able to get flac downloads commonly available. For years music downloads were low bit rate crap mp3. Pirate it or buy the CD were the only options for quality. It was like they actively wanted us to be searching for torrent sites.
> I have ALSO pirated everything I ever bought until very recently.

Pirating helps to sell their products, think of it as free advertisement, this is the thing movie studios, music producers and book publishers don't understand. I know folks that for each pirated book they keep buy a physical one, also friends that pirated some movie and by a word of mouth advertise to go and see it in the cinemas, music to buy and go to the concerts etc. If you can't see the product how would you know if it's worth buying? Therefore someone who pirates would never pay anyway and chasing them would make you less money not more!

Because they new Python better and/or it has a better and vastly bigger ecosystem and libs, and it being Lisp only gave the very marginal returns of being cool to your programming peers.
Got an excel solver for the 3x3

I'd share i'd via google spreadsheet if I could do it anonymously without creating a throwaway account

(All this in 3x3 grids, with the numbers mod 2)

- 1. Add the current light up state to the desired light state (chessboard)

- 2. Create a grid that's lit up as if from button presses from previous grid (using the game rules)

- 3. Flip the positions of the previous grid across the center. This grid is the grid of buttons to push

No idea how it works though, and it doesn't seem to work in the 4x4 case either
This is all very true, however even if they _did_ want to scan them, it's not just like scanning a bunch of papers.

I sat next to a guy working on the Genizah project (https://cudl.lib.cam.ac.uk/collections/genizah) and saw a tiny bit of the difficulties in doing something similar.

- Presumably these clay tablets have to be handled carefully when scanned
- These scans would ideally be high-resolution, requiring specialist equipment (I guess the BM has such equipment, but other institutions?)
- Once scanned, the images have to be stored somewhere (for how long?) with backups, etc
- To serve up the images to interested scholars, there has to be a system in place (over the web; is there authentication?; is it free?)
- Collaborating with other institutions who have done the same...

So lawsuits are only one of the problems with "just" scanning and OCR-ing. Still possible, of course.
I'm not so familiar with the US healthcare system, but I was under the impression that the ACA meant that pre-existing conditions were much less of an issue?

In any case, I'm not sure the conclusion follows. We see exactly the same pattern in the UK, where healthcare is almost entirely public. What the calculation fails to take into account, IMO, are other factors – someone who has lived in a location for a long time may be skeptical of moving, simply because they have roots (homes, friends, family, social groups etc.) and disrupting that is hard.

I am fairly deep into learning Haskell. After I am done, should I learn Lisp (SICP)? Smalltalk? Prolog?

I am learning these languages for mind-expansion.

I am also studying AI, will learning Lisp be relevant? (e.g. Help me reason about and write AI systems)
>That setup doesn't make any sense to me. Either its an open program or a closed program.

Or it's something in between. Few things in life are or have to be binary -- that's a very CS mindset.

Apple wants to start it as closed, so they have full discretion as to what "others" they will accept (since they've already said they're not just accepting anybody).

This helps them build up their teams and infrastructure for it with the fewer, pre-selected, people, and gives them time to expand (or even evaluate if they need expanding to fully open anyway, perhaps a smaller/controlled list works well enough too).

At the same time, the "we might accept non-invited third parties" gives them the opportunity not to miss out on any important unexpected collaborators / bugs.
That graph is a joke.

"I'm paying exactly the same amount of money as the next US-citizen for the content, yet I am treated differently."

Nope, it is even funnier because most probably you're paying more than US citizen. 1eur>1usd on exchange market (and it is a long trend) and - correct me if I'm wrong - price levels are the same for US and EU (ie. 9usd in US, 9eur in EU)?
Just idle curiosity, but why did you choose Nebraska? The top five states in which a hundred goes farthest, are, according to the article, Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, South Dakota, and West Virginia. It doesn't really change your point (I don't suppose Californians would enjoy our summers any more than they would enjoy Nebraskan winters), but I wondered.

The absence of a table makes it hard to tell what the absolute order is, but Missouri, Iowa, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Ohio also come out ahead of Nebraska, putting it at least at 11th.
I think once you are done learning Haskell you will know the answers to all these questions. Although one could argue you will never be "done" learning Haskell.
No, don't be ridiculous, it doesn't just go to shipping, it all goes to just these 3 entities. All other shipping companies are about $25 trillion. It's truly surprising how little of all money spent actually goes towards stuff.

Check your next credit card bill. I'd be willing to bet that over 80% of all you spending in a given month is shipping.

There have been fascinating studies done on the psychology of it. It's become such a large part of our cultures that most people forget they even do it. There was a documentary that followed 17 people through their daily lives in a major US city for 6 whole months. Most people didn't even remember shipping something most days, yet on average each person when into either a Fedex, Ups, or USPS store 37 times per day to ship things. Absolutely amazing.

Not that it really changes anything. You'll just put your major assets in other people's name long before you die so the state doesn't take them. If you raised your children right, they won't sell your house while you're still living in it.

Ask HN: How to teach a friend about programming?
I have a friend that wants to learn iOS programming in Swift and he asked for my help. He doesn't have any basic knowledge event about the fundamentals of programming so I really don't know how to create a roadmap for him. He want's to do it just for the fun of it, not for pursuing a job as a programmer. Just as a hobby. He's not young, he has a job so he can't spend more than one hour each day for this new hobby therefore I must come up with a long term track.

Since he doesn't even know the basic stuff, how to I tackle this? If I'm jumping right into teaching him about variables, functions, classes, etc then I'm afraid that he'll get scared, overwhelmed and frustrated because he, like any other absolute beginner, lacks the "programming vision" (something that I like to call the "I know kung fu" Matrix moment).

So I suppose my plan must start with teaching him the why's and then the how's of programming, right? I must first give him some lecture about general programming knowledge?

I remember when I was a kid, even though I knew the syntax perfectly, I couldn't understand why do I need a function or why do I need to use a for-loop or when do I need to use X instead of Y, because the teacher didn't bothered to explain me these concepts. So that's what I'm afraid it'll happen to my buddy if I don't come up with a more down to earth way of teaching.

That being said, how do I do it? What books can I recommend him? How do I schedule his learning path? Any help is welcomed and appreciated.

I work on projects not on jobs. Meaning I develop something bring it life and handover to operations. This means I work on projects taking 3 months to 3 years. It all depends.

I don't care about jobs. I just like to build things. 99% of my projects I work until delivery. Even when I hate it.

This is the reason I always say don't like to the time I worked for something. I finnish and deliver.

Please have a look at this pull request I submitted some time ago to Bittorrent.org: https://github.com/bittorrent/bittorrent.org/pull/35

It's about updating torrents via DHT mutable items. Meaning that torrent sites could share their public key and simply seed an .rss file containing their indexed torrents (a mapping of infohash -> descriptions). When they want to share new torrents, they simply update their torrent to a new .rss file and consumers will hop on that new swarm.

We need more support to get this into a standard BEP and also into torrent clients.

I know there are other networks (IPFS, I2P, Freenet, ZeroNet, etc..) that do this, but BitTorrent is the most widely used and I think implementing functionality in the torrent ecosystem itself would have much more effect.
I don't know if it's documented anywhere but everyone who works at spotify knows about it. It's not exactly a secret.
And thus the student was enlightened.
Yes that's true, and given that torrenting is generally reliant on installed software as well, it shouldn't heavily impact adoption.

I did think of another issue: search, sort, voting, etc. Ethereum is too expensive, too slow, and possibly not capable of that kind of large data set computation - not aware of any capable alternative.

One of the standouts is a 40% greater divorce rate for couples, although that statistic is slightly misleading. 14% of couples with at least a 45 minute a day commute divorced in 5 years of the study, 10% of couples divorced that had a commute less than 45 minutes.
Claiming it is all about taxes and transfers is severely twisting the facts. Look up the difference between the lowest paid workers and CEOs in nordic countries compared to the US. It is a huge difference. Our engineers make about the same as American engineers, our doctors and surgeons make significantly less and so does the CEOs. However the McDonalds workers, shop clerks etc make several times the hourly salary of an American McDonalds worker.

So mobility from the bottom to the top might be no better, but the need to do move is far less as people make decent wages across the whole spectrum. It isn't purely about money either. The lower percentage of American have significantly more problems in terms of education, knowledge, health, government influence etc than their Nordic peers.
I'd be more interested in the real value of $100 of income in each state, which would account for differences in state income tax. On such a map, WA would look significantly better, and states such as CA and NY would look even worse.

Yes disrupting social inertia is hard. But it's compounded in the states with medical insurance tied to their job. It's yet one more thing preventing people from moving, even if they want to.

Not only that, if you move in the states you will want a job already lined up. If you build up a bunch of savings and then move to find a new job you won't be covered and so it's more of a risk.
It's worse as a Chinese citizen, buying is still an option, we have none, even through technical workarounds.

No opinion to offer, but an observation - you've used some interesting words:

Forcefully; painful; pain; confront; trauma; harm; force.

Juxtaposed:

Forcefully - persuasively; energetically; vigorously

painful - uncomfortable; awkward; unpleasant

pain - discomfort; uneasy; disquiet

confront - address; meet; handle

trauma - effect; consequence; cause

harm - affect; move; influence

force - influence; change; affect

There's a difference between leaving a modest family house/farm to your kids versus someone inheriting a business empire worth millions.
