India scraps 2 highest denomination notes in fight against black money
This is not a direct answer to your question, but I think it gives a good summary of the bigger picture while answering a better (arguably) question:
Why Hong Kong remains vital to China’s economy http://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2014/09/ec...
I don't. They can eat whatever the hell they want. I do care that they seek to coerce the whole world to do the same.

I think we should all be free to eat whatever the hell we want. I think we should all have food that is maximally labeled with information about all strains of all plants and animals that go into them.

I don't want to force the worried organic foodies to eat GMOs. I want them to return the favor, but they seem hellbent on forcing me to live like them for reasons of fear. That same fear, plus some personal experience, leads me to think they're not really people who can be reasoned with.
I realize it's meant to be somewhat humorous, but I also think it's meant to be taken seriously; or at least, there are a lot of people with exactly the viewpoint espoused in that quote.
It's not so much about HN, it's a meme that's been around nearly as long as xkcd has. I recall seeing "Obligatory xkcd" on Fark.com as far back as 2007 or so. I've also seen it on Reddit and similar forums over the years; hell I've even seen it in Usenet discussions.
Obviously, if there's no one around. Who are you going to impress?
Ask HN: Am I right there's no place for C++ developers in the startup world?
I just browsed 100+ startup jobs on AngelList, found 0 C++ positions. I filtered out hundreds of jobs for Ruby, iOS, PHP, Python, and about a million for Javascript.

I live in London, maybe this is just a UK thing? or is C++ dead in the startup world.
See a problem. Figure out how many people it is a problem for. Figure out why no one else has solved that problem. Figure out if you know how to solve the problem. Figure out how much folks would be willing to pay for a solution to the problem. If you asses you are able to be fairly compensated (over long periods of time) for solving the problem after all your costs of solving it are reconciled: Commit to spending vast amounts of your resource to exploring and productizing the solution to said problem. This isn't the advice the author gives. However, here is another post written by the same author: https://rethinkdb.com/blog/rethinkdb-shutdown/
> How many IoT devices need to allow incoming connections at all? And how many connections do they need to make?

If they need outgoing connections, they likely also need incoming when we are speaking about stateless filtering. Without incoming connections only UDP would be allowed and it would be usually impossible to determine if the packet should be send again (it would only be possible if there was out of band method to detect it).

Ok, I will admit that it's possible to check the TCP headers and just drop incoming SYN packets without ACK, but then you need to start trusting that the IoT device can handle invalid TCP packets.

In decades Hong Kong as we know it won't exist anymore. In a century, maybe China will have it's Magna Carta movement. But the pendulum is swinging in the other direction right now.
I wasn't thinking about whether housing exists there (if anything, the general rule is that it's easier to find housing in cheaper places, because the cost of land is lower), but rather whether most skilled professionals would find such a small town an attractive place to live.

Azure you can't even have it use anything that touches other servers without costing you. I think their focus on their base is what is hurting them.

Why Nate Silver and Sam Wang Are Wrong
I tried to Google article I want to show, but I'm not able to find it, so I used first link with keywords similar to what I expected to find. I read linked articles and they are crap, so let dismiss this paper. Sorry.

Article, I looking for, is about experiment conducted using Sagnac interferometer for more than year to detect deviations of predicted Sagnac effect, from Earth rotation, during year, from actual measurement. They tried to account everything they know and still had small anisotropic variations across year. I'm not able to find that article, so I will try to use LIGO observation of gravitational wave as argument.

Can you accept, after confirming of gravitational waves, that there is field, called „gravitational field“, which affects speed of light, at least temporary?

PS.

It's looks like we cannot continue discussion because of larger delays between posts, so just thanks you for your replies — they were helpful. I will try to prepare better for next time.
This sounds very useful - do you mind giving some more flavour? What exactly did you implement?
Thanks for bringing this up.

Rational materialism is a powerful frame, but it is not complete in and of itself. "How can the self be anything but the collection of patterns, behaviors and memories" -- all those things, patterns, behaviors, and memories arises, and will eventually passes. Only awareness remains. You can test this empirically for yourself (though not necessarily for other people).

It isn't that there is a hidden potential self is finally activated. That true self was already present before the conditioning started, and is still present.

I am not speaking metaphorically.
Which state would reckon being a police state? To determine whether it is, we need to look at facts. 95% prisoners are there on plea bargain, which means they have never been proven guilty (They might just not be able to afford analysis); 1146 people killed by police in 2015; 1% of the population in prison and up to 6% depending on race; people get raided by SWAT for playing poker, 2 gigantic databases of everyone's online actions with a Real Name Policy (Google+ and Facebook), torture is legal for opponents of the country, a guy who investigated Hillary Clinton was suicided by a gunshot in a park...

...and a guy who exposed illegal action ("under any normal person's understanding" of the Constitution) is currently the #1 top wanted guy on the planet and is seeking refuge in... Russia (oh, the irony). Every single one of those facts could be turned into a movie, but we're now so used to them that we all despair.

Safely Deploy Microservices and Containers at Scale with ElectricFlow
(I'm watching the news live in New Delhi right now). The move is being pitched as an attack against 'black money' and terrorist/criminal activities and counterfeit .

The idea is if you have very large sums of money stashed away in cash, you're now forced to deposit it into a bank and reveal it. If you're not comfortable doing that, you're basically going to lose your money.
I love programming especially solving difficult problems. But sometimes I fanatize about being a professional photographer or a writer. These 2 professions seem perfect to me. Perhaps because they provide freedom to work from anywhere, and be creative. When I was pursing these professions semi-seriously, almost everything around me was an inspiration or a creative idea; movies, driving, conversations, food, advertisements, etc.

About a year ago, I started portrait photography semi-profesisonally. I really enjoy photography but didn't enjoy the business aspect of it. And it was hard to coordinate with clients when you have a fulltime job.

A few years ago, I got serious about fiction writing, wrote a lot but could not write anything that I felt was good enough for anyone to see.

Now I am just focused on programming and enjoy photogrpahy when I have free time.

"Long Wait Times"?
I'd be surprised if it happens that quickly for the low-end cars that newly-prosperous people in third-world countries would buy. Even if it does, insufficient electrical infrastructure might get in the way. In any case, I'm not saying it must happen this way, only that it's a possible basis for such a prediction that doesn't rely on oil companies being stupid or duplicitous.
It's probably somebody from the "Usernames are bad UX and if we have bad UX nobody will use the messanger and then we don't actually get a secure messenger because we don't get a messenger that anybody uses at all"-camp".

It is hardly going to fix the black money problem. Rich people have so many employees to do the bank run for them. Within the next month, you will see a huge spike in real estate market. People with black money will dump it in the real estate market. (If you are not an Indian, this is how it works. You buy an apartment/home/building for the amount X. But you declare it to the government that you bought it for X/10. The guy who sold it now has the black money which he can reinvest or based on his income level, can deposit in the bank. If he is a farmer, he can pretty much claim it as agricultural income and pay no taxes). So, basically, black money will trickle down rapidly in the next month or so.
I really liked Julia (and Juno) when tried it last year, but it was too math-aware as all [actually good] math-originated programming environments. Hope it will break that circle and get some general-purpose attention in nearest future. For me, it is very promising even without that HPC or whatever.
I want to use Windows. No other OS has put the time and effort into ensuring stable, cutting edge support for the 3D graphics systems I need for my work.

Windows is still 90% of the PC market. If only 10% of those users are developers, that means there are more Windows developers than all macOS users combined. There are a lot of us out here, and I think we're starting to get fed up with being treated like we don't exist, just because of the shame that gets lumped on us from a small cohort of other developers.

That's an interesting idea, but since we have to manually add each network and then it's automatically parsed from that list, at least on my end it wouldn't make any difference at all. Also one of the main features is that you can mix different networks and different threads per network, so that would be really confusing: what does this mean?

I think that if this were true, the data science libraries in Python wouldn't all be written in C under the hood, linking to Fortran, etc. Language can have a huge impact on performance with big data.

Julia is just a small step forward. It still has performance problems where the JIT can't help much - like the DataFrame structure, which is effectively a black box and therefor hard to optimize.

Assange Statement on the US-Election
AWS encourages you to use VPCs for service-internal addressing. Yes, you can rent "elastic IPs", but in the AWS mindset they are special and to be used only for NATing Internet endpoints to your services. It's based on end-to-end addressing being special and a scarce resource. This is compatible with the traditional corporate intranet style of thinking, but it's also in the opposite of internet end-to-end addressing and they are in no hurry to change it.
How is measured intimidation?

This is the boldest and probably most brilliant move by any Indian politician since liberalization of economy in 1990s.

Having said that, another way of understanding this is that as of today both old 500 Rs and 1000 Rs notes have been "probabilistically devalued". For anyone in middle class and below the value essentially remains the same (other than a small devaluation due to effort required to get them exchanged), however for anyone holding large number of notes, the value has been significantly lowered by approximately ~10 to 20% consider when the money gets deposited, there would be an income tax due on it.

Modi received a lot of flak not doing anything about black money and corruption after getting elected in spite of promises before the election. Bust as this move shows, he has taken the bold step, and can go for an election in 2019 without worrying.

To make it even simpler:

Assume that people in USA used 100$ notes (hard to hoard 20$ notes) to skip paying income tax (but mostly real estate transaction tax) and dealt in cash, by declaring 100$ notes as illegal tender and forcing them to be exchanged for new 50$ and 200$ notes. The government can ensure that this money is deposited or converted in banks. Ensuring that all "fake" 100$ notes are caught / lose value and people hoarding cash to skip paying income tax are forced to put the money in circulation. Otherwise come December 31st the value of the notes is same as piece of paper they are printed on.

Most of the process of me getting better was learning to understand and recognise my own thoughts, so I totally agree. For me personally it was talking therapy that really worked.
Haha! Millenialminimal...I like it.

Don't forsee the cooking enjoyment thing, particularly with travel schedule, lack of dishwasher, excess of stairs (5th floor walkup + grocery bags=sad), and the fact that I literally can only make scrambled eggs, but maybe you're right.

I think the lifestyle is definitely related to minimalism--I'm not outsourcing all of these things because I don't have time, but I also wouldn't consider myself a particularly lazy person. I simply like the feeling that my life is a well-oiled machine--everything is handled, no laundry folding necessary. It gives me less things to worry about so I can spend more time working, reading, exercising, writing... (and yes, sometimes, watching netflix).

I think my point was that the concept of minimalism (owning less things, being responsible for less choice, etc) has led to a bevy of innovations that are actively freeing up time for me to use my brain more, if I so choose--and isn't that the dream of technology, in the first place?

The definition for psychopathy changes within various countries and even the industry addressing the issue.

The US conflates what have clear distinctions where I am: sociopathy and psychopathy.

The definition Wikipedia leans towards would be called sociopathy here.

APD, and several other disorders, get classified as psychopathy here.

The definition I gave is simply the definition I was given post-diagnosis.

However, my point that a lack of emotion is possible, seems to stand regardless of the name you give to the disorder.

This has been my experience.

Let's be more precise. There are emotions you are aware of and emotions that you are not. When we say "consciously feel" it, we are talking about awareness.

Awareness can be trained and expanded. Awareness can also be conditioned to avoid painful and unpleasant experiences. In such a way, emotions can be buried deep in the psyche, with mental constructs that filter someone from feeling it.

It's also been in my experience that burying painful emotions leads to rot.
Forgive my ignorance, but how do you vote in Oregon?
Sure, but adding cars does not increase the latency either. So, everything stays the same but if you can send 5x the people for significantly less than 5x the price. Personal Rapid Transit is a great when there are lot's of destinations, but this is going to have minimal stops.

Sortof OT: I was also interested in election trends. While Google is focusing on real-time search trends regarding voting, I looked at meme trends leading up to the election. There are interesting trends in the amount of attention different candidate memes received over time. It will be interesting to see whether the attention received by candidates is translated into votes, today.
