It doesn't take much to piss someone off.

But it also doesn't take much to win someone's love and respect.

A Korean journalist (from here on referenced as Ms. Kim) once interviewed Guus Hiddink, the football coach for 2002 World Cup SK National Team. The SK team had placed fourth, an unprecedented miracle. Hiddink instantly became a household name in Korea.

After the World Cup, countless journalists interviewed him; but Kim sought to foster this relationship — to win Hiddink's love and respect.

Upon finishing the interview, Kim, the journalist, handed Hiddink a portable drive with highlights of all the matches he coached this World Cup.

She gleefully recommended that he watch them on the flight back home.

Hiddink was so touched by her care that he took her out for lunch two days later. This time, Ms. Kim brought kimchi that her grandmother made, and shared that story at the table.

Kim and Hiddink kept in touch, and five years later, Hiddink came to her wedding.

Hiddink flew half-way around the globe for the wedding of a journalist — whose initial meeting was a typical interview.

Hundreds of people interviewed Hiddink. But only one managed to get him to come to her wedding.

And all she spent was a little time, care, and attention.

This comment is so typical of any story that discusses Russia these days: a flat out rejection of the idea that people who disagree might just be people who disagree. You're either against Russia or you're paid by them/are them.

It's ridiculous and just makes the anti-Russia position look piss weak, or even like propaganda itself. And I say that as a man born in western Europe who has never even been to Russia, but this business of constantly painting anyone who doesn't toe the party line as a paid troll is disgusting.

Well, to each his own, I guess.

I spent several years learning to draw and paint, it was a great hobby. BUT, I didn't get to the point of being able to draw character-type art. That level of drawing is hard, due to the uncanny valley.

Also, I think it's also cool that he decided to try a different technique than hand-drawing, and went on to (A) get good results and (B) document it clearly. Doesn't feel to me like a "afraid of part of your hobby", more like "how do I get around my own limitations?" thing.
That's relatively a new problem for you, 6-7 years ago before the new oceanic cables it would have been a different story.

India isn't that well connected considering it's a nation of 1.5bln people or is it 3 now.

And since many torrent trackers now disable DHT and local peer discovery you tend to get random peers rather than be able to connect to peers close to you which means they get more and more international traffic.

Considering Indian ISPs don't have much to offer in terms of interconnects and peering agreements they most likely pay premium on their end to peer with tier 1 and tier 2 service providers in Europe and the US.

So for them the international bandwidth is very expensive.
For you in the down under the available international bandwidth at this point exceeds you local one since the infrastructure lags behind because for many years it was pointless to lay fiber locally as there wasn't enough available bandwidth to feed it.

P.S.

How are you measuring what the "democratic world" says, exactly? What it's media says?

Isn't Donald Trump making waves right now for having improbably high support despite thinking Putin is not so bad after all? Dumb though Trump may be he is without a doubt a key part of the "democratic world" right now.

The State of California takes a VERY dim view of employers who can't/don't make payroll.

> ...this idea that there is definitely no paradox...

Yes, it depends on what one means by "there are", ones own perspective or a much more abstract take, which I wrote somewhere else earlier:

> Whenever you have a paradox, like wave-particle duality - but also the "French paradox"
> in nutrition, it's not because there really is a "paradox" in the universe, it's because
> the way you look at it is too limited, and if you find a better view you will see there
> is no paradox.

Since you, especially as a human being, can't look at a phenomenon without having a point of view (models) paradoxes are real are not real - at the same time, depending on your models. I claim there always is a (higher) POV where there is no paradox.
> But what happens when you can't attribute meaning to anything? Do you revert to religion or suicide (Those were the three options for camus)?

Is this not the basis for The Myth of Sisyphus? If I recall correctly, Camus rejects both religion and suicide as ultimately absurd.
On the other hand, places where local solar is particularly viable (like Sahara) shouldn't be a benchmark for off-the-grid solar viability either, because not that many people live there. In practise, you really do need to have grid and storage to use solar.

(Local off-the grid solar is somewhat usable even here, but it does need battery storage. It is popular in holiday homes that are not located close to power lines. E.g. I have a cabin which is a kilometre away from nearest electric lines; building a power line to the grid would cost in the order of 50 k€ while an off-the-grid solar-powered system runs electronics and a fridge with an investment in 5k€ range.)
The funny thing is science fiction like Star Trek capitalised on issues like plasma confinement (in a way that can fail) well before anyone could have anticipated it would be an issue.

It will be interesting to observe how science converges with science fiction
As a non-American who follows US politics closely, the NYT might as well be run by the US Government: as far as I can tell the worldviews of the people who run the NYT are identical to those who run the USA and so it's not surprising that it's so often viewed as a mouthpiece. This specific story being a case in point.

Just look at how they handled GWB's "War on Terror", or NSA revelations etc. They just sat on them, despite how newsworthy they were. Too often it was foreign media that broke the stories.

That's actually very confucian. That's why they were very concerned with the conduct of the emperor.
"Physicists are still unable to reach consensus on the principles or meaning of science's most fundamental and accurate theory, namely quantum physics. An embarrassment of enigmas abounds concerning wave-particle duality, measurement, nonlocality, superpositions, uncertainty, and the meaning of quantum states.
After over a century of quantum history, this is scandalous."

What is also scandalous that in this age of systems that do this work for you automagically (e.g. Tex) typesetting and microtypography in scientific publications seem to deteriorate. This one is a fine example of this trend. ;-)

I don't know anything about the California controversy and I certainly don't think union workers should mandated on new construction in NYC, but I was glad that tax deal died in Albany. It was a terrible program.

Under it billions of dollars of tax revenue over decades which otherwise would have been owed by extremely wealthy people often on their third or fourth home was forgiven and in exchange a few hundred affordable apartments in some of the most expensive neighborhood were handed out to lucky lottery winners. It was about the least efficient affordable housing program imaginable.

A much much better idea would have been to collect the full owed property taxes on the new buildings for billionaires going up in Manhattan and use the money to do more good for many more people. Mostly in the outer boros where the dollar goes further.

More reasons why you do not have your own homepage ... discoverability: If there are no one linking to your webpage you do not exist. It's as Google broke the web by making a too good search engine. Most sites now a days is just a dead end, while web sites used to have lots of links that let you dig deeper into the subject. And instead of finding ten quality and peer-reviewed articles you now find thousand of crappy search-optimized articles.

Then there's the lock-in again. Instead of writing your web sites in pure HTML, they are now locked inside a database in some content management system. You can't simply move to another provider.

Also there's the domain names, or rather web addresses, they are too damn expensive. There need to be a free top level domain name so that web addresses stay longer then a year. Maybe only allow ten free domains per person to prevent hoarding.
Upvoted, I think this is by far the best suggestion. Find a local charity or non-profit and help them get online or update their site, and add an easy way for people to donate online. Re-imagining a popular site to show off your skills seems like a vapid decision, much better to do something more meaningful. The charity benefits either way, and you've made some contacts which may help you in the future.

Some organisations may be reluctant to accept because they've tried this before and the developer moved on to other things. The charity can't be left with no clue how to update the website, so make sure you have a plan to hand things over to them. It can be something as simple as styling a Tumblr page mapped to their own domain.
The ending of this article reminded me of Peter Thiel's article "Competition is for Losers" http://www.wsj.com/articles/peter-thiel-competition-is-for-l...

Peter Thiel's article is really well researched but his conclusions about monopolies are wrong and dangerous. Monopolies are terrible for society - Monopolies allow companies to enforce arbitrary rules which everyone must follow with no means of escape (it's essentially a total dictatorship). If you got fired from such a company, where else would you work? The CEO could literally just rape anyone they wanted and no one would be able to speak up. Worse than that; the media will probably tell you that it's actually an honour and you should be thankful! What sort of world is that?

Then he uses past history - The fact that monopolistic companies like Google tend to encourage and reward innovation as an example of why monopolies are good but he completely omits the fact that Sergey and Larry were raised in a highly competitive environment (and that's why Google is like this).

Wait a few generations and you're going to see the elite 'inheriting' class develop into a generation of spoiled entitled brats who have no interest for innovation because they're too busy having fun.

It sounds like Peter Thiel wants to turn Facebook into a mega-corporation to take over the world.
He has a very black-and-white view of the world which I find really dangerous. He thinks that there is one correct way to do things and that this way is always correct.

The biggest problem is that as soon as you allow a corporation to get a world-dominating monopoly, there will be NO WAY OUT - That corporation will always have the power to manipulate the media and keep everyone locked in their places - There will be NO GOING BACK.

Peter Thiel severely underestimates human greed and ego (both of which he has plenty of). His monopoly idea is only good for people like him - The fact that he thinks it's good for EVERYONE just shows how out of touch he and his friends are.
Literally only cache for 1 or 2 seconds at a time.

Lots of people use page caching to speed up their website, but that's a mistake, since caching means stale data on dynamic sites. Caching should only be used to solve resource issues, not latency issues.

Your entire site should be fast already without caching. This comments page should only take a few milliseconds to generate. If it doesn't, then something's wrong with the database queries.

I will never understand how some sites take hundreds of milliseconds to generate a page.

There's an entire industry of analysts trying to keep track of global trade. You might try http://www.globalmaritimehub.com/ , for example.

(The bot that posts to hacker news once every 13.87 articles saying 'Hi I am Tony from this project and we really do care' is a similarly poor imitation of a real person BTW).

Right, and C is widely used/successful language.

As a poet once said - "Perfect is the enemy of good".

Rust never aimed to replace all of C/C++ forever, everyhwere. That's nigh impossible. Much in the same way, it's impossible for ASM to replace machine code or 386 processors to replace Commodore 64 or Analytical engine. There will always be some shop that programs in ASM/C/C++, like there are shops that program in COBOL.

Rust point was - to replace C/C++ in domains that require safety and speed.

How is that relevant? The author didn't complain about the performance - the complaint was about API stability. Which I agree with. Docker is really terrible at supporting their own APIs.

The Nazis had a very strange relationship with science; ideas were rejected because the person to propose them was Jewish. Since many of the top scientists at that time were, in fact, Jewish, they rejected the new development with regards to quantum mechanics and basically most now established new theory in favor of going after 'German physics'.

As far as I can tell, this view is completely consistent with this PL's author's view.; he aims to leverage existing C code based and gradually switching parts over where possible; that's embracing C rather than shunning it.

Recently I watched a presentation[1] by the director of MIT's fusion program, talking about their ARC design. They want to minimize physics risk by using a standard tokamak, but take advantage of new commercially-available superconductors to make a net-positive 200MW reactor that's ten times smaller than ITER.

He mostly talks about practical engineering issues: modular reactor construction, easy maintenance, testing current flow through joints in superconducting tapes, 3D printing a reactor chamber with complex cooling channels, immersion in FLiBe for ample cooling and breeding 14% more tritium than the reactor consumes, etc.

The reactor would be about the size of JET, which was built in four years. MIT has pretty good experience for this, since their Alcator C-Mod has more powerful magnetic fields than any other tokamak in the world.

Of course the startup companies pursuing fusion are also taking an engineering approach. Here's an interesting panel discussion[2] between the MIT guy and people from Tri Alpha, General Fusion, and Lockheed.

American ISPs could do this, it would just be marketed differently.

Just remove all speed restrictions to traffic within their own network.

If only traffic leaving your network is a problem for scaling, then don't restrict internal traffic. The P2P clients would naturally favor those local faster peers, and if enough larger ISPs did this, then the P2P clients would be explicitly changed to favor local peers.
Yes, C's preprocessor is weak, but that's a quality of life thing, not a necessity by any stretch.

> Who live off the labor of those of us who do work, the labor time of which they expropriate with their dividends and profits?

You know, you certainly don't have to like entitled rich children of millionaires, billionaires, and industrialists. I certainly don't. But this rant confuses me for a few reasons. First, if we have a system where people are allowed to own capital and that's legitimate, doesn't inheritance just follow? I mean, what's the alternative you're after here without heirs? When Steve Jobs died, should the government have taken his shares and distributed to all current Apple employees? (And if so, according to what formula - proportional to pay? time served? the product of the two? equal division?) And why stop at just the shares - what about the shares of other companies, and his houses and cars and any bars of gold he bought with salaries or shares he'd previously sold? Where's the line? How much is the line? Do we redistribute everything to company employees? What about people who own multiple companies? Or maybe being at the company is no part of it - should the government have just auctioned off his estate for the general fund? Doesn't the government already sort of do that when it collects a roughly 50% inheritance tax? Is that not enough? How much exactly is enough? I could go on... Also, all that notwithstanding, morally: isn't that one of the things human beings work for, a good life for their children and grandchildren? If you respect the original industrialist, can you respect this? (If you don't respect the original industrialist, why are we attacking his heirs?)

Second, are they really even all that big of players in the large-corporation ownership scene writ large? Even in the absence of taxes, big inheritances will spread themselves out over several generations unless all rich kids are only children.
