Obviously if China wants to buy one the fact that they want to reverse engineer its technology is going to be patently obvious.

Even if China could get a hold of an AN-225 reverse engineering one is a huge task, and at best you only know exactly what this hardware did, not what they avoided, or good ideas they didn't pursue purely due to resource constraints etc.

So what happens instead is that a state like China approaches the Ukraine for a manufacturing agreement like the one described in the article. China hands over a lot of money which covers not just the planes but also the tech, and job are created in the Ukraine as a result.
Authoritarianism is authoritarianism, no matter how many countries practice it.

>but if most people want BI then it would be authoritarian to not give it to them in a democracy.

That's not how authoritarian is defined. The majority have no right to violate the right of the minority. More to the point, I'm arguing that we should try to change the minds of the majority, because the majority held viewpoint is authoritarian.
>Unless you want to be a female F500 CEO, then you're out of luck...

Of which, only 4 are female, and that's what I explicitly was talking about, as opposed to S&P. To be honest though, 4.4% of S&P CEO's, when women are a bit more than 50% of the population is almost as ugly as .8%.

> ... carb free diets work because it's easier to create a caloric deficiency not because you some how can eat 3000 cals of w/e and lose weight.

There is much missing / wrong with your logic and assertions - but this one is particularly telling.

Are you genuinely asserting that low-carb diets work because ultimately they involve less calorie consumption than a 'conventional' (carb-heavy) diet?

If so, this seems entirely wrong to me - low-carb diets typically involve the consumption of a greater volume of energy (calories) compared to what your BMR would suggest you need to not gain weight.

This is, as noted elsewhere, also ignoring the benefit of low-carb diets to your GL/GI rollercoaster.
I suggest starting with Pillars of Earth. It is a popular book, nothing too spectacular but it will put the perspective in your "it can't be worse than what we have today" attitude.
>I do find the crowded parks surrounding major cities to be a turn-off.

Although even there, you can get away from most of the crowds pretty quickly. It won't be untracked wilderness but it won't be crowded.

I was in Acadia National Park last weekend and the standard just-off-the-road spots were mobbed (holiday weekend) and the standard trails were pretty busy. But we hiked a handful of less-common trails and only saw a handful of people except at the beginning and the end.

If you have the skills, you can also go to certain National Parks in the off-seasons. Doesn't work everywhere but when there's access there are far fewer people.

I am not a Big Data expert, but does that change any of the comments below with reference to large datasets and memory available?

I use J and Jd for fun with great speed on my meager datasets, but others have used it on billion row queries [1]. Along with q/kdb+, it was faster than Spark/Shark last I checked, however, I see Spark has made some advances recently I have not checked into.

J is interpreted and can be run from the console, from a Qt interface/IDE, or in a browser with JHS.

The overall tax rate in my country is about double than US and the life quality is worse. Go figure :)
This is a good image to describe high low carb high fat diet works.
For the critics, it shows that it does indeed work (also) because of pshycological effects and it doesn't go against the idea that less calories is important to weight loss. But it represents how LCHF diet achieves it better than any diet.

For the supporters, this list all the headlines of the science involved if you want to dig it further.

Any time anyone has studied in-person voter fraud, the observation they've made is that it's rare you can almost count the instances on one hand.

No one has ever shown it's a problem, people have only claimed or insinuated that it's a problem from a place of "truthiness"; i.e. they claim to know intuitively "from the gut" or because it "feels right" that in-person voter fraud is a problem.
I'm sure there is a significant amount of people in the US who work two shifts per day. I get the impression this is rather common in the lower to lower middle class. Voting seems hard for these people. But someone here said US companies have to give you time off to go vote, and if this is true then there are no impediments and these people can vote anyway, even though their paycheck for that day is cut by some amount. Some may choose not to, though, even though they beleive in democracy.
It's a factor now. Two generations ago, we barely had computing, and we had very little non-fossil energy. If there weren't challenges to solve, we'd be there by now, but progress continues.
AFAIK, POWER has supported LE for a while and at least linux on Power has moved to LE by default.

> I don't have diabetes and the doctors say my blood sugar control is very good

I don't understand what this means for a non-diabetic. Are they measuring your A1c? How are you "controlling" your blood sugar?

Secondly, even if you're not building fat your body still needs insulin.
Leading edge semiconductor landscape
A couple of points:

1) The low-carb hypothesis is that there is a fundamental physiological reason that highly refined carbs cause weight gain. It goes something like this: highly refined carbs get stored by your body as fat. Because they get stored as far, they are unavailable to be used for energy. Because they are unavailable to be used as energy, you get hungry (this is your body signaling that it needs energy). So you eat more carbs. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Do you have a specific claim as to how this hypothesis is incorrect?

2) It is a complete non-issue that it's hard to compete in long distance running races while on a low-carb diet, especially for people who are obese.

Running has an incredibly high injury rate (on the order of 20-90% of runners get injured per year, Google "running injury rate"). It's about the worst way imaginable for an obese person to be active.
Thanks for the suggestion.

I don't believe that "things can't be worse" but rather "things could be better than what we have today"
Kind of odd that the article basically argues that the main reason Apple dropped the headphone port was to make more money at the expense of its users - and was dishonest by pretending it was to make the phone waterproof... but then the author still orders the iPhone 7.

Apple's blatant marketing bullshit really rubs me the wrong way.
> "Simply, it does not. Do a clean install. It's not there. That is why you have to go to that web page and click that big "download" button."

The assertion made was that Windows 10 contains multiple versions of Windows under the hood. If XP was one of these OS then there would be no need for that 'big download button', yet it exists. Why do you think that is?

> "PS: I was on the windows team during development of 7."

Good, then you can clear up what incompatibilities Windows 7 has with older Windows versions. For example, what level of support is there for Windows 95 software?

People basically evolved without any sugar (fructose) except what they could get in fruit (which was limited and contained fiber). With the sugar islands it became available to people though expensive and volatile in price. With high fructose corn syrup etc. it became a consistent priced commodity with little to no volatility.
Unlike which other entities exactly that are not made by people!? I guess you mean private companies which are always well run (how many banks had to be bailed out?), never susceptible to corruption (VW comes to mind just recently) and offer great customer service (any cable company ever)...
I recently ran into flatbuffers https://google.github.io/flatbuffers), which claims the same no-serialization step. Curious how the two compare?
This one minute video will save your life. FAT is the cause of type 2 diabetes. Fat in cells stops your body from processing sugar correctly. You need to reduce dietary fat to very low levels and your body will be able to process carbs correctly.

Broadly your position appears to be that Africa is not necessarily backward but that if it is definitely backward then this is the consequence of Europeans conquering their lands centuries ago and since there are no European colonies anymore we Europeans have been manipulating them in the present day through corporations as proxies, thus retarding their (already slow because colonization) progress.

Is that an accurate summation?

Because if it is then the following must be true.

1. There must be a strong relationship between colonization and poverty. After all, they are taking your things.

2. Nations or ethic groups that are conquered by aggressors take considerable time to recover, perhaps many generations.

I repeat; is my summary accurate?

I was politely asked to leave my local group under similar conditions (non-belief causing friction), though I was only a webelo at the time.

I would probably feel out the group first if you intend to do this, it wasn't a pleasant experience at the time.

>If so, this seems entirely wrong to me - low-carb diets typically involve the consumption of a greater volume of energy (calories) compared to what your BMR would suggest you need to not gain weight.

Eh no, now you are getting into the realm of physics, what happens often are 2 things.
Some foods have overstated caloric values this is quite common.

Your body doesn't metabolizes some foods at the same rate, especially true when you adjust your diet considerably and your body isn't used to produce enzymes in the required amounts, as well as other environmental factors like fiber content (lower fiber count would mean lower caloric value while higher fiber count would increase the caloric value even tho fibers themselves have no intrinsic caloric value on their own) and gut biome.

If you think you can eat say 500-1000 cals over your daily allowance with any diet and not gain weight, man you have really really been sold hard on this.

My parents went to grand canyon couple of years ago on their yearly 1 week off from work. they wanted to see the grand canyon . Most people I would imagine don't live in a RV or have all the time in the world to explore smaller parks.

I find it that whenever someone generalizes a population they are often talking about poor or lower middle-class people. sorry, 'average American' doesn't live idyllic RV lifestyle .
Author here: I was actually trying to highlight that I think the reasons were three-fold: Future-picking, Capitalism and Space-efficiency. Sorry if that wasn't clear from my writing. Thanks for the comments and yes, Apple's marketing sometimes rubs me the wrong way too.
I guess the author should have called it out more explicitly for some, but I think that's the point.

I've seen the testimony dozens of times on HN, and I've heard it from a friend who manages Hadoop at a bank, and I've seen it with people building scaled ELK stacks for log analysis: People are too eager to scale out when things can be done locally, given moderate datasets.
This techno-utopianism "solution" fails to understand that the basic goal of a political party is to get people elected into office, full stop. Even if your radical decentralised crowdfunded party makes you feel good, if you're not getting people into legislative and executive positions, you are doing it wrong.

Further, all of these theoretical goals break down when the theories collide with reality. All systems can be gamed, and the way to reduce the effects of it is not to embark on quixotic quest to create a completely transparent party where everybody has perfect information of all things at all time. Rather, focus on incentivising whistleblowers and removing corruption when it meets the light of day.

I looked at it the opposite: We can sequester carbon in buildings this way. I haven't done any numbers and presume it's probably small for global warming, but I understand that using concrete put huge amounts of CO2 in the atmosphere, so maybe decreasing that contribution would count for a lot.

I think this is consistent with your earlier point that more people should visit some of the less well known national parks and scenic sites. It spreads the tourists and visitors over a much larger area. This should reduce crowding in the major attractions and destinations, which should make them more enjoyable to those who do visit. The smaller national parks will see more traffic but perhaps this will create more awareness and build support for preservation and/or cleanup. The communities around these locations may also benefit from the increased business.

It feels like totalitarianism to me. What if I feel that a certain election is a sham, and prefer not to participate? Democratic regimes should be sane enough so that people want to vote. Too many people not wanting to vote should be taken as a signal that something is seriously wrong.

Most developed countries are already below the birthrate required to maintain the current population.
Absence of scarcity is not a result of BI. You have it mixed up. It's the other way around entirely. My response (quoted by you) is merely to counter the urban legend that poor people just like popping out babies to get that sweet government assistance. Alleviating extreme poverty does more to slow population growth than anything else we know so far.

Your sarcasm does not contribute to this discussion.
It's pronounced "cap enn proto". Cap'n is a contraction, you just leave sounds out of the fully expanded word.

you can search for cap'n proto in any number of ways, including its literal name [ cap'n proto ] or [ capn proto ] or [ captain proto ].
Most discussions I see about basic income (BI) fall into the same trap of conflating two very different arguments:

Argument 1 looks at BI on a practical level and asks questions such as: Is BI feasible? Will it ever be feasible? Who should administer it? What would it mean for the economy?

Argument 2 deals with BI more on a social level and can even be modeled as a thought experiment: What would people do if they had basic income? Would it remove the incentive to work? Would it reduce inequality? Would it offer more freedom to recipients or less?

Many people (including the author of this article) make grand claims like "It's obvious that it'll fail"; "It's obvious that people will stop being productive members of society if they have BI"; "It's obvious that it's not feasible".

I think that the most persuasive argument, and one advocated by the YCombinator experiment, is "We need more data". This holds true especially for argument 2 (how will people react if they received BI). Argument 1 for me is less interesting, but my rudimentary understanding of economics and politics is enough for me to be sure that anyone who declares a black-and-white position on the idea probably needs to spend some more time thinking and reading about it.

No matter whether you are for or against BI, you should be happy that these experiments are being done. If you're against it, they will provide evidence that you are right and then people can "Just stop talking about it already". That's not going to happen because you wrote an overly long rant against it. If you are for BI, such experiments might confirm your hypotheses that BI will be beneficial to recipients and will allow us to move more towards argument 1 (is BI feasible? where will the money come from?).
You can always find _a_ study that says this or that, need to ask a researcher with an overview of the field for broader conclusions.
I read the article and I still don't buy it.

In New Orleans 1972 a concrete and steel building called the Rault Center had it's top two floors gutted by fire, likely arson. The building has been vacant since then, much of it in an almost skeletal state and yet a renovation started last year.

If the Rault Center had sprinklers tragedy could have averted, but I don't believe a wood building could have contained the fire. A wood building certainly couldn't have stood neglected for decades after and still been of any use.

The theory isn't there, at least not for multilayer NNs.
It's a clever joke and rather cynical deconstruction of our industry. The author suggests that in 100 years the C language will not only still exist and be widely used, it will have advanced almost nothing at all due to the industry's inability to solve real problems and instead focus on virtue signalling languages such as Clojure and Ruby. The author hammers home his point by demonstrating how a simple header file can at once render the code unreadable, while adding absolutely no value at all. I think he or she is specifically talking about Silicon Valley here, though of course since the joke is expressed in code, one can only guess.

Seriously, I'd hope in 2100 we'd have pushed our systems languages beyond facile keyword redefinition. Maybe even towards concurrency and an actor model. Like I explored in my unfinished (sorry, shit happened) book "Scalable C".

Or, Rust.
Sometimes US firms go out of business when they compete with foreign firms. Even if that's because of "unfair" subsidies from foreign governments, that's indistinguishable from some foreign technological improvement that allows competitors to produce their goods more cheaply than US firms. I'm specifically asking for evidence of the followup: the part where foreign firms have no competition and rack up massive profits at our expense.
Dangerous nonsense. Do you fatten up a goose by feeding it butter, or by feeding it grain? Since America fell in love with a low-fat diet, have Americans become lighter, or heavier?
Pretty sure it was resurrected before the Chinese came in. A second plane was started a few years back already.
Please see my comment/video above. Dietary FAT is the cause of type 2 diabetes. Very low carb/keto diets seem to work at first because they reduce the need for the body to process sugar. The problem is the underlying system is still broken. This is just preventing the symptoms from occurring (high body fat, insulin spikes). Over time, your cholesterol will skyrocket and heart attack/stroke are inevitable. Very dangerous.
I'm sure there are plenty of people here who use them. I'm responding to the person who claims libreoffice et al are artificially limited.
