> This created havoc in Python. Hopefully it won't happen here.

There are big differences though:

* Python had 15 years of source-compatibility before the switch, Swift has 1 year and a history of source-incompatibility (Swift 2 was not source-compatible with Swift 1)

* Python had a fair amount of semantic-incompatibility

* Python doesn't have a (heavy) compiler backing it up making source and semantic incompatibilities runtime issues your program bashes its face in rather than cascading compilation failures

Typical Ivan with good developer skills costs $30k/year in Moscow. But you are right, theoretically it is possible to hide some money if you really wants to. As far as I know there's no big non-gov companies who spend something on bribes right now. May be it's because I too believe in humankind.

Americans social contract is more about money than about their fellow man. Case in point, Epi-pen, assumed actual cost $30, sale price $600. They would still be doing great if they only cost $50.
So by now I've actually read the (abridged) paper and skimmed the full paper. And the paper has nothing to do with consistency problems, since they only consider boolean propositional logic... Assigning consistent probabilities in the limit is indeed a much more interesting problem anyway.

Self-trust seems like a problem on paper, but the reality is that normal mathematics uses very few universes.
Concretely, the proof of the Feit-Thompson theorem in Coq, with all the related theories, uses 4 universes.
If you have a system certified in type theory, then you can still reason about it.
Possibly one universe higher, but that is not a problem (as far as anybody knows).

You know what? I don't think that's an unreasonable concern and it's exactly why this situation is so horrible. It's the return cold war communism paranoia. "Of course I'm allowed to do this, but will this get me on some watchlist?"

I guess the ethical answer is that, the more people will sign this (think a million?), the less likely it is to be used as some kind of filter. Even though what's one million names in a database? Sigh... Awful.
Very interesting... on the project website, the example is a login form, I would suggest NOT using md5, pbkdf2 is baked in as are stronger HMAC hashing options.

The style reminds me of ASP.Net MVC for some reason, a bit different than other MVC in node frameworks I've seen. That said, I'm not sure I really like the abstraction after working with other node tooling. I'm working on a project now that has structured boilerplate over express that's structured similarly, and it's kind of awkward to deal with after a while. ES6+ by default is kind of nice though.

I'm also curious how errors for json requests are handled... imho this should be one of the first things demonstrated in the structure of a web application.

Add kids in and suddenly every other weekend is filled with something. That isn't including extended family.

> it's pretty absurd to only have 1GB for a web application in 2016, even for a small one

what is pretty absurd is the amount of memory a ruby web application uses. 1GB should be enough in 2016 to serve a small web app. Ruby might be a pleasant language to write it was never designed to be efficient memory wise. And frameworks like Rails that have 0 concerns for real performances make things even worse. That's why people are ditching Ruby for statically typed alternatives, constantly. It's just not a good language for the task in 2016.

I think when almost every other country does something different than you and it is not something you introduced first, you should have to prove why of all these you are the different one.

For Germany it is a general speed limit, but trying to introduce that would be like a general gun ban in the US: If you really think about it, probably a good idea, never going to happen.

The market will probably sell off if there's a rate hike, even if it's as small a shift as 25 or 50 basis points. A small hike won't qualitatively affect institutions' ability to access money, but it would lead to a cosmetic downtick in the stock market.

In that sense, you can argue that there has been a false rally in the stock market.

Maybe Trump is trying to seem market savvy, or maybe he actually wants to see a rate-hike-initiated selloff that reflects poorly on Obama, and by association Clinton.
Ask HN: If you were to reinvent the web, how would your HTML/CSS/JS look like?
A recent discussion on HN [1] has showed that surprisingly many people do not like HTML/CSS/JS. If you were to reinvent the web, how would your version of client-side look like? How would you simplify/improve markup language and style sheets? Would you replace them by a single language?

"And it is illegal for Medicare to negotiate with drug companies. Private insurers do so instead, but the government binds their hands, for example by requiring them to pay for six broad categories of drugs, without exception. This suits pharmaceutical firms."

While requiring companies to pay for broad categories of drugs may suit pharmaceutical firms, I'm going to guess this was more to help folks that are sick. What they must cover include [1]:

1. HIV/Aids treatments
2. Antidepressants
3. Antipsychotic medication
4. Anticonvulsive treatments for seizure disorders
5. Immunosuppressant medications
6. Anticancer drugs (unless covered by Medicare Part B).

These are generally categories that people really do need a drug that works. Different antidepressants work for different people - the same with antipsychotic medication. Many of these make a huge difference in quality of life - or life itself.

The medicare regulations aslo state they must have a range of medications that are generally needed by the population it serves, insulin (even if available without prescription), and things only available by prescription (so some allergy medication won't be covered, for instance).

Yet the article proposes this is too much regulation: To me, these are very basic things one expects out of drug coverage. This sort of interpretation makes me question the objectiveness of the article itself.

You're allowed your quota of one medium-impact dissident action per week, just like everyone else. As it helps to keep up maintaining the illusion of democracy and free speech, you are actually doing your country a great service.

If you start to do more, however... Consider yourself warned. ^^

In this case, I can reassure you though:

Online petition clicktivism has been shown to be very ineffective, so it's only considered a minor-impact dissident action. You are allowed five of those per week. ;)

>> doing more with less data is exactly the kind of problem that a startup in the field could solve with a clever idea.

It will take much more than a "clever idea" to overcome the reliance on data of the current AI state of the art- that is to say, machine learning.

If you think about it, machine learning algorithms are essentially clever search procedures for some optimum in a heap of data (that's optimisation algorithms, so about 90% of the field). You can always get smarter in the way you search, but unless you search far enough what you find won't generalise very well to unseen data. And if "unseen data" is the real world, you need immense amounts of data to get anywhere- hence, the reliance on big data.

What we need is much more than a clever idea: it's a paradigm shift. There's probably some sort of way to make a system that can learn from very few examples and at a very short time, like we do ourselves. Machine learning is certainly not that way. We need to find another way.

I'm not sure startups with clever ideas have a very good chance to just stumble on such an other way while looking for a way to do "Facebook with deep learning".
> It's hard to be sure I'm staying with a local making some cash off their spare room, rather than someone "farming" a bunch of cheap properties.

The big problem in a lot of places is that these properties are far from cheap.

I live in Stuttgart, one of the most expensive real estate markets in Germany (and maybe Europe?). House/apartment prices continue to climb past the level of absurdity for most residents, and when new "cheap" properties, for the low price of 250-350,000 Eur, hit the market, they're often recently snapped up by wealthy property speculators in the city who turn them around and run them as Airbnb properties at 150-300 Eur/night. It prices folks with middle class incomes right out of the city.

It's to the point that the state is planning laws that would prohibit short-term leasing schemes for whole flats if the flat isn't zoned as commercial property. People will still be able to rent out a room in their flat, but it will have to be a place where they live.
And you know what's also awful? We expect neither Hillary Clinton nor Donald Trump to pardon Snowden in the future. In this sense, Democrats and Republicans are not all that different. It's still all about the interest of the powerful.

Pardoning is already a good step. It's acknowledging that leaders don't know whether he did something right or wrong, and that it's up for the citizen to decide. It may change the mind of many citizen who currently view him as a traitor. Articles will have to defend their position (such as "E.S, that we view as a traitor") rather than be credited with government force (currently written as "E.S., a traitor that is the world's most wanted criminal").

But I was wondering: Isn't Obama at risk if he pardons him? Wouldn't he be interrupted if he started a speech about Snowden? That's been the #1 interest of his most powerful agencies during his mandate, of course they've thought about the risk that Obama pardons him. He could try to secure the pardon beforehand, by sending the pardon papers to Snowden, but in which kind of letterbox would he post it given NSA's and FBI's reach on communications? He could try to communicate with journalists, but do we still have journalists left after Hillary's body count? etc.

Much of this doesn't apply to me, but mostly because I've been implicitly trying to avoid it.

It's another reason I don't want a huge collection of "stuff". "Stuff" takes your time.

I don't have a car for this reason, and I live in a city that doesn't require one.

But the article is motivating me to be more explicit about the things that take time. To make sure I spend that time doing what I want.

If you look at my comment, it even was normative, but the other way round. I called the situation a "problem".
Yes - that can be a problem. For example, today may be the only day in the next few days I have time to buy groceries. So, not getting it today is more than "not having food for dinner", it's more like "not having breakfast for the next few days". Aight, so now I just buy breakfast on the go for the next few days, which means I've just spent 3x+ the amount of money I would on breakfast as opposed to just planning ahead...

(Yes, this has really happened.)
What's your commute like? Can you arrange things to combine commute and de-stress time?

In my experience the best way to de stress is to walk, but that's obviously not feasible for most. It's worth moving to make it possible, in my opinion.

Mass transit is pretty awesome too. Even if it takes longer, you can plug in your headphones and zone, netflix and chill, or best of all, take a nap.

Biking in urban areas can be pretty stressful, but the exercise it provides is pretty effective at helping the body recover from stress.
There absolutely is a 'morality' (in the socially enforced sense) of cleaning. It's not quite as bad as it used to be, but your level of cleanliness isn't entirely a free choice because it affects how people judge you. And, unless you're extremely independent-minded, how you judge yourself.

Similarly there is a 'morality' of leisure: Protestant work ethic and all that. Note that one of the sibling comments talks about feeling a lot more comfortable relaxing in (Catholic) Spain.

A couple of things I noticed when moving to OneNote:

- OneNote doesn't have tags

- search function is pretty primitive compared to Evernote

- The Webclipper is frustrating: Websites are often clipped as an image. Very frustrating if you actually need to work with the content afterwards.

- ON seems to generate much more traffic on my phone.

- publishing notes with Evernote is much better: You get a public link, etc. Everything looks more polished. Also, when publishing clipped websites you automatically get the link to the source. In ON it just looks bad. (I use Evernote for press articles.)

- Spellchecking is a mess in ON. For some bizarre reason they've decided to set the notes language to your keyboard locale. It is ugly as hell. But there's a macro for OneTastic to reset the locale.

- no Context.

Good things in ON:

- free form canvas

- no more messing your notes up when you work on them cross platform.

- Excel-tables natively supported

- as somebody noted, Evernote is practically a vault where you never touch stuff again. you basically hide everything behind tags. Then you use the search to get only relevant stuff. That's partly due to the UI. In OneNote you organise your notes more "optically" and actually reread stuff.

I introduced ON at work and we now couldn't do without it. I've been using Evernote in privat for several years. Now I'm using both - EN for press and my literature library, ON for everything else.

Agreed - to-do lists help a lot, along with judicious use of reminders (a simple prompt helps a lot).

At least for me the key is to aggressively wean my to-do list, keeping items on it that I'm highly likely to complete in the next few days, as opposed to an ever-growing wish list.

Maybe i should just rephrase it to 'timeline' or 'newsfeed'.

I don't think you can credit one single company for 'inventing' the idea of a timeline. Before Twitter there were RSS readers, before that blogs, before that newsgroups, etc. Facebook just did a very good implementation of the idea, obviously inspired by everything that preceded it. Twitter is a good example of that of course.

> "you still have to pay attention"

The dangerous kind of not-really-autonomous.
What this article suggests is just one way of starting a startup. It won't work for everyone because for some of us, other's people's problems are only worth solving if the problem also troubles me or the solution somehow deeply interests me.

After all, for some the point of starting a startup is not only about business and money, as a software developer I want to build an application I love, and see it appreciated by others by making it a product and profitable business.

If you have read Paul Graham's essay, you'd know there's another way, the so called "organic ideas", i.e., to build a product that you love and useful to yourself, then sell it to others who have similar needs. To me this is a better way (albeit riskier), in the end of the day if I fail, I still would have a lot of fun and learnt useful skills, rather than just failed to fill a market gap.
