I grew up 3 years ahead of my classmates in math. I found everything up until calculus to be easy but elegant - algebra, geometry, probability, trigonometry. Much like programming, there were often multiple ways of the solving the same problem, and deriving a formula was feasible and logical.

In contrast, I found calculus to be mind-numbingly boring. It required memorizing and reciting formulas upon formulas. It was the first time I felt that math was tedious, and pushed me away from majoring in math in college.

Let's separate Peter Thiel the businessman and Peter Thiel the political donor. Whatever negative things he does in politics does not detract the achievements he accomplished in business.

Following this belief—which is merely my opinion—people should not be asking his business contacts to explain his political actions. That belongs to the Republican voter base, and how they allowed a candidate such as Donald Trump to be the their presidential candidate in the first place.

All of this publicity seems to be generated for opportunistic causes, where some business people (e.g. Ellen Pao) can feel morally correct even if they're not associated with Thiel.

Edit: Also I find it ironic how people are trying to exclude, if I may use that term, a person criticized for supporting a candidate who is exclusive, under the justification of diversity.
My admittedly SWAG is that this happens more by chance than by choice. this is an important distinction.

> Who do you think Github is going to discriminate against?

Anyone at all. I don't think GitHub will be better than any random project maintainer whom now they want to override.

But if you really need specifics and finger pointing, what about the fact that GitHub hired the troll who, with no affiliation with the project whatsoever, spammed Opal's issue tracker about private opinions that one member expressed outside of the project and outside of GitHub and demanded his removal from the project? See link in the top post here for details.

Will they start removing such spam once the guidelines are in place? Will they ban the troll? Maybe fire her from the job?

I haven't ever worked in a 20-something only culture. I was the young guy when I joined my company, most of the team was in their 30s, some in their 40s. Over time it helped me grow as an individual, and it also helped me to grow professionally. Anyone who's had a few more years of experience probably has something wise to share with you, whether they know it or not. Hell even those with less experience often have a different perspective that is worth listening to. I guess what I'm trying to say is none of us should live in an echo chamber and we should all try to be open-minded (but maybe that's a little heavy-handed).
The iPhone 7 isn't the biggest update in Apple history. Like Apple somehow always manages though, it offers just enough to get you excited and coveting an upgrade. If you're due an upgrade and can afford it, the iPhone 7 is the handset to go for. Already got an iPhone 6S though? You're probably better off sticking with it than forking out a significant sum on minor improvements.
Why do you say cheating? Most (all? I'm not an expert) AIs are "seeded" on datasets which are generated by humans. For example, Google translate uses documents translated by experts to convert say, French into German. They use translated government documents, amongst other sources, to get this, instead of some impossible-to-program decision tree that contains every possible grammar rule.
Armin might like Rust but that doesn't mean that's why it was chosen in this case. In fact the article provides a reason: they already had a Rust library for source maps and that is a very good reason to go with Rust.

More generally though you're being unfair by not even seriously considering the option that there could be a legitimate reason. Also you're simply being an insulting with your common sense comment.

You are being disingenuous, for pretending this is about truth in some way and you're coming across as being an asshole by insulting people.
Could not agree more. That's why my wife's preschool is play-based: http://www.petitefrance.xyz

Sure, there is academic stuff and learning. And as a licensed preschool, we have full-time supervision. But the helicopter parent as a concept is absent in French upbringing. Instead, my wife focuses on building kids inner-confidence through play and social interactions.

I ran into higher rank lifetimes while trying to use a library in my program. You can totally pass closures around in a dynamic language like JavaScript without any issues (you just pay for it in performance). In Rust `-> impl Trait` is a new feature so it's still not at all polished.

I would argue that Rust has a higher learning curve overall than any dynamic language because of its type system.
Hope this csproj is final breaking change on this!.I am not sure if any other project has gone through so much of changes from the initial release. It was called kvm,kre,klr [1]-> dnx,dnu,dnvm [2] ->coreclr,corefx ->changes to project.json to csproj system . I have started writing a gitbook[3] on asp.net core when this was in the RC phase but everything I learned or wrote had to be rewritten .I did not merge my dev branch to master for whatever new I was writing and eventually I stopped.I am wondering what would happen to all the books currently published where most of the book will be referring project.json

I am/was a embedded dev, been using C/C++ since ... more than 15 years. I do C++/Go at $dayjob and I'm in love with Rust.

I've written quite a bit of comments before on Rust, since it's not the first time someone asks similar question. You can read my past comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=dpc_pw

Just to sum up, IMO: Rust blows C++ out of the water on almost everything. It's not established enough so there are almost no jobs, and there's a learning curve, lack of tools, slow compilation, business reasons, etc. so you can't just blindly use Rust over C++, but when you can and have time to learn: go for it. The existing tooling is amazing, community is awesome, you will learn really interesting stuff, save time on debugging.

As for C++17 features... I don't really care anymore. C++ is death by thousands little cuts (undefined behavior is my "favorite") it's not going to change much anyway.
I agree - up to a certain point. I think Popper has formulated this well[1]:

"Unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them. — In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols. We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law, and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnapping, or to the revival of the slave trade, as criminal."

And even below that limit, even if I stand by the right of people to say stupid and irrespectable things, I stand also by _my_ right to argue them that those things are stupid and irrespectable. (This also means that I am quite open to discuss why this view is wrong. One a bit uncomfortable idea is that this way of thinking may increase polarization of the discussion/society, which is about the last thing we need.)

I don't know why people are downvoting you, but that's a perfectly reasonable question. In fact, I'd argue that it's the most logical and important question to ask in response to the parent comments. It makes a lot of sense to look at the extremes and make sure that our reasoning holds up in those situations, too. (That's a technique that you would think most engineers would understand intuitively, but alas.)
Reducing Write Amplification on NAND Chips in a Cloud Storage System
Here's the part I don't understand: Peter Thiel has been a high-profile supporter of Trump for a long time, long after Trump publicly said and did the things that make many people see his candidacy as an existential threat to American democracy.

I don't recall any Silicon Valley lynch mobs forming in all that time.

Nor was there much noise about Thiel's support after the sexual-assualt-brag tape was released.

It's only when he gives money that people are up in (very virtual) arms.

Either Thiel's support for Trump makes him a toxic partner, or it doesn't. If it does, and you just started acting on that recently, then please forgive me for suspecting you may be an opportunist.

Actually Tesla has access to two sources of large-volume real-world data:

1. When the driver has full control of the vehicle

2. When the 'autopilot' is engaged and the driver is ready to intervene if necessary

So if the AI passes the safety test on Type 1 data, Tesla can promote it to being tested on Type 2. And if it passes that safety test it can be promoted to full autonomous control.

The 'autopilot' mode effectively does for Tesla what Google's test drivers do, but for free and on a much larger scale. Seems to me Tesla have a very strong hand here.
As a counter point, I'm not gay nor female, but an entrepreneur. Hopefully that doesn't lessen my voice.

I lost nearly all respect for Thiel based on his opinions about science vs industry. For reference, his thinking that startups are in any way similar to academia in regards to scientific discovery is completely out there and ignores the obvious reality that startups don't produce scientific knowledge.

His backing of Trump simply reinforces my already poor opinion of him. He's never bothered thinking things through and has always had an arrogant streak where he thinks business beats everything. If you believe he's totally wrong you'd be a fool to work with him.
Ad blockers truly are the new virus scanners. They monitor everything that goes into and out of your computer and randomly break stuff just for kicks. And if that happens, it's somehow the fault of the software provider and not the ad blocker vendor.

You can't test against ad blockers (or virus scanners) because the lists keep changing, so you end up applying ridiculous alchemy like not calling your API endpoints "/analysis" but "/computation" and then you just hope for the best.

In the grand scheme of things, I agree that the people behind ad blockers are fighting the good fight, but in practice it's become a cat-and-mouse game of "who can break the internet the most". I don't know a solution.
> I'm not willing to work with an investor who wouldn't respect my marriage to my wife, or think I deserved equal pay.

And what if Peter Thiel did say this? What gives you the right to set what you consider to be the line over what I choose as the line?

Does that give either of us the right to shame someone publicly for that? I think it does sometimes, but I don't have a strictly categorical answer.

At what point do you consider the various beliefs indivisible? Maybe you believe in Trump's economic plan, but should you be held responsible if Trump also shoves his social agenda through and hurts millions of people?

The worst part in all this is that Trump has made a bunch of Democrats into litmus-test voters like the Republicans. I hope that the Democrats go back to their diverse cacophony afterward.

Lidar doesn't make sense for Tesla with the failure rate alone. They're mechanical devices, and they often have defects when produced at scale. They need to be replaced very often. This makes sense when you're doing vehicles as a service, but not as much for Tesla's use case.
This is pretty cool to see! I personally don't think it will catch on too wildly in my circles, 40-80ms of input delay is not a trivial number, and in the video footage you can see it clearly. It definitely found a niche in this guy though, and probably many more as well. Even if I share some of the sentiments from the other comment, it's pretty amazing what we're able to do with the tech.

On a side note, is that laptop connected with wifi? I've found that even "in-home" in home streaming from my computer to a laptop can get pretty choppy if I'm not sitting in the living room in front of the router (sometimes that isn't enough either).
My personal experience with cython (and why I'm less than lukewarm about it) is that it's about as much fun as C to write and only really helps wih he annoyance of dealing with PyObject. That's something that was not even required for the sourcemap lib.

Debugging and writing cython that is fast is feally not a very pleasant experience and the tooling is not great. Let alone that a real ecosystem exists. There is not even a good way to deal with dependencies at compile time.
Based on his own personal belief. Probabilities are a very useful way to precisely state the certainty of beliefs.

It means that if you offered him betting odds that it would happen, of less than 1:2, he would take it. And he would bet against it at odds higher than 1:2. Of course betting on the far future is impractical, because money might not be worth anything if it does happen, but in principle that's how these numbers can be interpreted.
I appreciate that you don't want to keep arguing this, but the matter certainly is not "unsolved". Libel is a specific term with specific meaning, and you are using it to mean something different. There is no common vernacular usage of libel that means "unflattering statement/depiction".

Or to put it another way, you're the only person who thinks it's unsolved, everybody else understands the meaning of libel and how you're using the term incorrectly. If you truly don't want to argue this, you should just accept that and move on.
Why should this site owner cater to someone using adblock software?

Because he's trying to make money and ignoring this problem may lose him users? It's not like he's actually showing regular web ads, so an ad-blocking user is as potentially profitable as any other.

Let's NOT separate them. Thiel is CEO of Palantir and heavily involved in Bilderberg--two institutions which are anathema to what the openness and democratic institutions a lot of us on the Internet stand for.

There are plenty of reasons to oppose Thiel even without the Trump donation.

It all depends. Google might want to keep track of the full stack, whereas your average small software company will quickly adapt when their platform pulls the rug.
The problem is that in the current political climate, all anyone does is call the other party a stupid, intolerant, crooked bigot. People are calling Trump and his supporters intolerant bigots and then people on the other side of the argument call them crooked shills who are afraid of opposing ideas and are going to steal the election. You can see it happening in these comments too.

It allows people on both sides of the debate to shield themselves behind a persecution complex that prevents their ideas and actions from being examined. I think it's one of the worst tactics related to the extreme polarization of American politics when it comes to the death of rational discourse.
Out of all options we had this was probably the least conplex one given our set of tools and experience.

I feel like Thiel and any other people who deviate from the SF party line are the ones who should be thinking the way Popper does in that quote. I think that was how you meant it to be read but I'm not sure. That they're unable to reason with the people who seek to destroy them, because they've thought unthinkable thoughts.

I haven't read much about why Thiel supports Trump, but I'm willing to entertain arguments that whatever he likes about Trump (hypothetically economic policy?) is more important than his sexism. I feel like most people aren't.
