Very powerful quote:

>Many in the United States fear a Trump election because there might be an explosion of state repression against the vulnerable, particularly against specific racial and ethnic minorities. And yet, the neoliberal state has already created a penal system to rival the world’s most authoritarian dictatorships. The United States imprisons more citizens (total and per capita) than any other country on Earth, and African Americans and Latinos at a vastly over-represented rate. Many fear Trump would bring massive deportations of undocumented immigrants. And yet, the neoliberal state already engages in mass deportations, at the level of millions during the current administration, with countless more waiting in dire conditions in the world’s largest network of immigrant detention camps. Many fear a Trump election would bring mass persecution, surveillance, and restrictions for American Muslims. And yet, the neoliberal state already spies on Muslims, administers religious tests at borders, and polices Muslims for nothing more than their religious practices. Many fear a Trump election might bring economic ruin, and yet, for most Americans, wealth is vanishing, wages stagnant, real unemployment steady.
I'm personally refusing to support a movie which continues a long legacy of poor representation of asian americans in Hollywood movies (e.g. the last airbender, aloha, along with some others which removed asian secondary characters). Though I can't deny it looks like it might be a decent adaptation.

Hollywood doesn't really like asians to be their main characters, though we're starting to see some good side characters like Glenn from the walking dead.

> Another layer to hide the complexity can hardly help.

I strongly agree! I'm sensitive to self-serving, but while Convox is another layer, it does make problems disappear by disallowing them.

Use Convox and try to boot or deploy a docker-compose.yml that uses networking or uses volumes incorrectly. You are blocked from doing so with a nice reason why.

> If the problem is difficulties of running stateless apps

This is not the problem. In fact this is a solved problem.

> or distributed storage and networking

These are hard problems.

Networking is largely solved with AWS VPC. Other providers do this very well too. This lends to your earlier point, adding the Docker networking layer generally doesn't help the problem. I take it for granted that any new networking stack shouldn't be trusted.

Distributed storage is barely solved anywhere.
Or, a really interesting project plus a great series of blog posts.

From the FAQ on the author's site:

>Is it open source, can I contribute?
>>Thanks, but no thanks. This project was started as a personal challenge/learning exercise. To have others contribute would defeat the purpose right now.

Which I don't quite agree with (why not just not accept pull requests?), but it's fair enough.
People assess visible and invisible costs very differently. We are, by nature, often penny wise and pound foolish.
I think the systems of institutions and people that treat cancer reflect the complexity of the problem itself. The research atmosphere and constant professional development are just as important as individual bedside interactions.

That said, all of the hospitals mentioned here are doing amazing things every day, and finding the best place for treatment really does come down to the specifics of each case.
thats called a loop closure in SLAM systems. You would typically fuse the accelerometer data with odometry in an EKF as the best guess from dead reckoning, then correct that guess when it disagrees with lidar/camera data.

Im not sure if DSO is a full SLAM system or if it only provides visual odometry, however.
"Two" appears as "दो" (do) in Hindi in the 2000 INR notes. This looks correct to me: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:2000_INR_Rev_2016.jpg (see the left edge of the note just below the string "2016").

If you are talking about "दोन" (don) appearing twice within the pink rectangular box, that's Konkani and Marathi, not Hindi. Two is indeed written as "दोन" (don) in Konkani and Marathi.
Obviously its not a real state because it doesn't have a `Monopoly on violence`.

Maybe a railway isn’t a realistic example. A nature preserve might be a better one; they can’t decide to cordon off an area for wildlife if you’ve already destroyed all the trees, whereas untouched land might fall into that category.

The examples I can think of were in Texas and I’m sure the rules vary by region.
Then convince people that they shouldn't. Laws aren't written in a vacuum, so clearly other members of your community disagree with you; the right way to approach that is to engage with those who disagree and convince them you're right, not to flagrantly violate the rules.
Any country you can name came into existence when a collection of warlords established it by force. Ironically, you would expect libertarians to know this better than others.

Rather than attacking the messenger and correlating it with the anecdotal evidence from the people you know, try to look at this objectively.

- The white-collar middle class of course is lauding this move. Most of them (us) use digital money, are educated, want to see the corruption eradicated etc.

- BUT, the majority of the population is poor, working class, not education enough. India is still a cash-based economy. Poor people have all their savings in either cash or gold. Women in India still hide money from their husbands.

- Business - Real Estate, Transport, what have you, is still done in cash. Soon, the truckers who get paid in these denominations will stop getting paid, and stop bringing in food to the cities. What then?

- A kid has already died because the private hospital refused to accept the currency.

- There is talk going on about a possible Bank Run.

- Most importantly, I firmly believe this was a political move to cripple his opponents in the upcoming elections in the heartland states of India. He's lost the last few state elections despite going to rallies himself. This is him tightening his grip on the power.

- Now we know why Mr. Raghuram Rajan left the RBI and has gone back to U Chicago.

- Edit: Oh yeah, the new note only contain one non-English script, devnagari. The language and culture wars that took 2 decades to resolve will begin anew.

The privileged HN readers here who are like "I'll just order from Amazon" live in such a bubble that it's hilarious. This is the most brazen and irresponsible move that this govt has ever done. It's a draconian ruling that in the name of progress, is going to (already has) ruin the lives of the poor people of this country who have nothing to do with the daily corruption.

The middle class will hail Mr. Modi as a visionary, drinking his kool-aid, click Purchase and go about its business. To call this a "temporary hiccup" is callous and frankly, disgusting.

My city don't have trams but there was a political push to build them. However, bus routes were upgraded instead. Result is better than trams IMO. Some key points we do:

- Popular buses run ever 5-ish minutes during peak times

- Some buses have extension and cary a crapload of people.

- Problematic spots have bus-only lanes.

What is better than tram:

- Buses that share only a bit of the route can use those lanes too

- Taxis can use bus lanes

- Some of the lanes allow cars with 4+ people to promote carpooling

- If there's an accident or emergency, cars can use the bus lane

- Bus lanes are frequently reused as designated right turn lanes

- Overall maintenance is cheaper when using a single mode of transport. Same backup vehicles can serve all routes - no need for separate backup trams and buses. Same for technicians, spare parts etc.

- No big upfront construction costs. Some bus lanes were snatched from regular traffic, some were built later on. Mostly by making other lanes narrower and widening the road just a little bit. Trams would require much more space and wouldn't even fit in some spaces without banning cars altogether. The'd still have to pave these bits to let emergency services use them.

- In tight spots, buses can easily merge with general traffic. Buses have defacto priority, so no delays during merge.

In my city, introducing trams would have been at least few years of city-wide construction works, lots of possibilities for wasting public money and/or corruption. Bus lanes were super cheap and are added incrementally wherever costs in that specific section can be justified by savings. They can be removed easily if they cause too much trouble or don't speed up buses much. Rails would be there forever.

Comfortwise, good tram and good bus ride equally well. Unmaintained, both trams and buses suck.

TL;DR Buses are much cheaper and more agile stepping stone into good public transit. Trams themselves ain't magic cure. Buses can be
Really enjoyed the article.
It touches on some key points for me, like not having enough time (oh what a special snowflake I am).

I enjoy life the most when I am not beholden to anyone else's schedule, and can take the time to notice the small good/bad things happening to me every day without getting stressed (this is after all what fills most of my life, and forcibly suppressing it, saying only productive time counts, adds a lot of tension) . I feel like this is very taxing and difficult to do after a long day at the office, but I know my quality of life would greatly increase if I could either see life in this way, or have more time available to fall into this rhythm.

Now, we need a law, that puts any company---a current, or future president owns, with over 1 million in yearly revenue; into a blind trust for the duration of their term?

That solves an issue I've had as well, though it shows the MacBook Pro isn't really the fault. I have a Samsung TV (no ground-pin) and I would often watch it while using my MacBook Pro plugged in (ground pin). Because I didn't have wireless headphones yet I'd run a cable from the Samsung's headphone socket and plug my Bose headphones into that. If I was touching the MacBook case with one hand and grazed the metal parts of the 3.5" audio cable, I'd get quite a strong tingling & that almost becomes painful. Hadn't considered that the fault was the TV's lack of grounding.

Fun read - after finishing that I went back and read the post from a year ago ("I quit the tech industry") that the author is now providing an update on. In it they wrote the following:

"I spent much of April and May increasingly grumpy and withdrawn and on edge. Weekends and evenings have become even less useful, instead being clogged by a sense of paralyzing dread that I’m wasting fleeting time if I’m not doing ten amazing things at once. I’ve foregone trivial maintenance like cleaning junk off my desk because I don’t feel like I have 20 minutes to spare. I stay up hours later than I mean to, not even doing anything, just trying to put off sleeping — because the next thing I experience will be waking up and going back to work.

(I hate dread. What a completely useless emotion. Let’s just stop doing anything, and feel bad about something that hasn’t happened yet, and also feel bad about not doing anything because we’re too busy feeling bad. This will definitely improve anything in any way.)"

I suppose I always knew in the abstract that others felt this way, but reading it from someone else like this was comforting.
Yes, that's so, although I think it's fair to assume that many non-drivers don't use a car because of the cost, not because they're unwilling to drive or incapable of driving.

On the other hand, the cost of car ownership could be reduced with self driving cars.
Alright, I guess I can only buy six or eight lightly used Core i7, 256GB SSD, 8GB upgradeable RAM ThinkPads for the cost of a MacBook Pro instead of 10.

And you're calling a laptop with a Core i5 with integrated graphics "top-of-the-line". I guess top-of-the-line is a distorted concept when the absolute top of the line for the company hasn't been touched in 3 years and that I could outclass by a factor of three in every way for a third of the price.

My point isn't that you can't afford it, good on you. My point is that the barrier of entry for your BRIC or even EU consumer or developer is going to be unreasonable.

Certainly depends on what you count as "disaster", but depending on where you are flooding, multi-day power outages, multi-day interruptions of fresh-water supply, ... all can happen. I yearly get flyers on what to do if the closest nuclear plant goes wrong. Italy just had a major earthquake.

Even if we assume the support infrastructure works properly (=just one localized disaster), having your own supplies could mean a lot of difference in how you get through the crisis:

Can you take care of an injury if medical help is going to take many hours to get to you (or if you are unable to even notify anybody who could help)?

Do you have to get to somewhere in the hope of getting some minimal supplies (water, some emergency food) or can you stay somewhere relatively comfortable and safe? Large cities might turn dangerous relatively quickly.

Can you have warm food despite the power being out the last few days?

Are you going to have a full set of warm clothes/medication/documents for everybody if you have to leave in a hurry?
You can also screw them to the outlet box, which should already be grounded, especially if it uses older BX sheathing.

I can't expect the Hollywood adaptation to live up to the original. But, what I've seen in the trailers looks good and I plan on watching the movie when it comes out. It looks like it will be a very fun romp through the theme.

For those looking for a heavily philosophical take: obviously watch the original movie, then GITS:2 Innocence and the TV series GITS: Stand Alone Complex.

The 2nd movie is more a work of art than a film. If you watch it, you'll need to have the patience to appreciate that.

The TV series was written by people who wanted a cop drama that happened to feature cyborgs. Not the other way around. Appreciate that and you'll find a lot of interesting ideas presented in a cartoon. I still hold that GITS:SAC presents a better understanding of the Anonymous phenomenon than most techies have today.

It is enjoyable to find the mathematics of randomness.

You might find two interesting points more related to computer science:

1. A linear search of memory is O(n^1.5), not O(n). Practical issues of caching lead to this empirical formula. This is consistent through L1, L2, RAM, disk caching, and cloud access, at least in practice.

2. Analyzing an algorith for a single processor is a quaint exercise. For example, scanning linear memory is O(n^1.5/p) where p is the number of processors. Yes, this makes me feel old.
Well, I agree that it exaggerates the importance of the (No) Vacancy sign, but it is different in precisely the sense the author is talking about - you have an on/off switch for NO, and another for VACANCY. While presumably no one wants or needs to turn on OPEN and CLOSED simultaneously.

It's an interview question, you're free to ask for clarifications.

That said, finding the Nash equilibrium is precisely the natural thing to do if you can't make assumptions about your opponent's strategy. It's a worst case scenario analysis. You can't statistically lose out to your opponent if you pick it. This does not mean that you know your opponent strategy.

Consider the context. This is algorithmic trading. If your strategy can be gamed, it will be gamed by someone else. Picking anything but the Nash equilibrium means you can be gamed.

A good candidate will immediately gravitates towards this solution, there is no ambiguity that this is the expected answer.
> Hollywood doesn't really like asians to be their main characters

Sort of an odd statement considering Jackie Chan just won an honorary Oscar today.

Think of it this way: Ghost in the Shell is an anime adaption. Do you see the anime studios in Japan going out of their way to hire american voice actors whenever a character is american? If they don't, then why should US movie studios?

This notion that for whatever reason an actor can't play someone of a different ethnicity is a very recent sensitivity. Besides her obvious acting talent, they most likely picked Scarlet Johanson in the hopes that she'll bring a larger audience considering how popular she is among their intended audience.
