beautiful text but, as with others, I take issue with the conclusion.

What about the internal hierarchies of the firms involved? Who was freer, the owner of the pencil factory or the men in Sri-Lanka working for pennies to mine the graphite?

And the crass juxtpositioning of 'central planning' and the 'free market' is lazy and disingenuous. I'm no celebrant of the USSR but they weren't incapable of abstraction in their central planning,a s this seems to suggest. They werecapable of coordinating the production of pencils without Stalin knowing every process involved (just as mail functions without one man who knows each of the streets in America)

It's far from a perfect comparison, but I'm reminded of this classic Brecht poem:
http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-worker-reads-history/
There are machines that show a physical printout to the voter but the voter does not receive the paper. It remains within the machine. I know this is the case at my polling place in Missouri. I filled out a paper ballot because two of the three electronic voting machines were malfunctioning/non-operational when I voted.

>Some DREs can be equipped with Voter Verified Paper Audit Trail (VVPAT) printers that allow the voter to confirm their selections on an independent paper record before recording their votes into computer memory. This paper record is preserved and, depending on State election codes, made available in the event of an audit or recount.

What's the difference?
> Salt means FOR EACH RECORD in the database, you have to compute those 1,000,000 passwords. That means you're talking about decades of computation time.

SHA256 of the million most common passwords (with a 128 bit salt) takes 2 seconds /total/ on my laptop. That's only 42 days required to crack a database of one million hashes.

var stopwatch = Stopwatch.StartNew();
var salt = "0123456789012345";

int crackCount = 0;

foreach (var password in File.ReadLines(@"c:\temp\10_million_password_list_top_1000000.txt"))
{
System.Security.Cryptography.SHA256.Create().ComputeHash(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(password + salt));
++crackCount;
}

stopwatch.Elapsed.Dump();
crackCount.Dump();

=>

00:00:02.0981333
999999

Salt is indeed important, but the only real way to protect is to iterate - PBKDF2/scrypt/bcrypt.

I am aware of Factor, although I believe that conceptually, FORTH can only work in small systems. In a larger system, you can afford yourself something like Haskell (or at least Lisp) and the extensibility and proximity to hardware of FORTH will diminish in value, while the disadvantages will remain. In other words, with a bigger machine, you can go with more abstract language (distancing from hardware but keeping the extensibility), because the compiler/interpreter can be made more powerful.

I also played with FORTH mostly in Minecraft Redpower 2 (but before that I also read Jones Forth, which is excellent), unfortunately, to prove my original point, people didn't like it and longed for BASIC.

> Should I run my own lab to test every product I use?

no you just look at the mandated ingredient list which is required to say "Aloe Vera x%" is it has one of the ingredients as part of the name of the product.

mind you that x is probably less than 2 or so.

I kind of wonder, since this apparently isn't mandatory in the US, are people aware that if you buy fruit juice of say pomegranate or cranberry or acai or mango, it's almost always more than 75% apple or white grape juice, and probably less than 5% of the fruit listed, yes? I mean it's clearly on our labels and I still think it's a scam, but what if you can't even know.

I agree with the criticism that you're making, but I think your police force comparison contains fallacies. Human institutions cannot be told from the assumption that we all began as isolated individuals and arrived at the solution of centralised control as the outcome of a set of rational collective choices.

I'm sure there are many 'origins of the police' narratives, but one I know is the Metropolitan Police of London were developed explicitly to curtail the dock workers from exercising their customary right to take small amounts of the goods they were unloading home with them. To generalize from this (a dangerous game, I know, but this seems to be the flavor of the thread), institutions are constructed to protect the interests of one class from another

Only at the federal level, which is a much smaller portion of the prisons in the us. From the first thing I found, there are more people simply sitting in a jail waiting for trial than there are in federal prisons [1].

Interestingly, Eigg, a small hebridean island off the west coast of Scotland has been operating 95% of their power on renewables since 2008: https://islandsgoinggreen.org/about/eigg-electric/ (they keep diesel to drive baseload backup)

The initial reason for this was that to get electricity from the grid to them was going to cost _lots_ of money. Solar is an important part of their mix - the Hebrides get a a good chunk of sun in the summer (and long days too). They've been a case study for a number of similarly isolated communities - either islands or other locations far away from existing electricity infrastructure.

Making batteries more efficient (and cheaper), and making each of the renewables mix more efficient and cheaper will make this possible for more and more communities.
I've been the other side of this as part of the interview process.

One person we were interviewing solved a problem pretty much exactly opposite to the way that we (and every other candidate) had solved it.

At first glance it simply looked wrong, but after a discussion with the candidate the strengths of the solution became apparent.

Happy to say they got the job, and ultimately turned out to be one of our best hires.

This suggestion is a good one, but I have a better proposal.

The problem here is that Microsoft is free to cherry pick the best innovation that is coming out of the open source community while the reverse not being true. If Linux reinvents some feature already published by Windows, Linux vendors could get sued for patent infringement and have to settle with hefty license fees. Windows, on the other hand can and do copy improvements coming out of Linux community. See for example : containers.

For people to use a piece of technology, it should provide something that no other piece of technology provides. Linux community can patent serious improvements and give a world-wide license to anyone who wants to publish an open source version of the technology. Microsoft gets locked out ( totally fair, since the reverse is already true ), and Linux has a killer feature worth switching for.

If Microsoft wants to implement the feature, they can license it from Linux foundation. Linux foundation can redistribute this money back to corporations which paid license fee to Microsoft. Or they can put that money into Core Infrastructure Initiative

How to Design Programs is written to address this issue.

From the preface:

The typical course on programming teaches a “tinker until it works” approach. When it works, students exclaim “It works!” and move on. Sadly, this phrase is also the shortest lie in computing, and it has cost many people many hours of their lives. In contrast, this book focuses on habits of good programming, addressing both professional and vocational programmers.

With “good programming,” we mean an approach to the creation of software that relies on systematic thought, planning, and understanding from the very beginning, at every stage and for every step. To emphasize the point, we speak of systematic program design and systematically designed programs.

Skype Job Interview issues with bad connection
Hello,

Recently I had a skype audio job interview with a company oversees. Unfortunately the skype was behaving bad. The hiring manager who was interviewing me what Internet connection i was using via skype text When i told , i am using 4 G from my mobile. He immediately emailed me stating that 4G is not enough for Skype interview. In fact i used another application (IMO) after the failed skype call to call my family (video call) 1000 KM away. But i was appaled the hiring manager blaming my connection for failed skype call. Has any one faced same issue where your internet connection has been blamed .

Do you think humans are good at anything or just generally useless ?
You don't have to believe all women are "wonderful" in order to find distasteful the notion that women evolved to manipulate men.

Why not "men evolved to be dumb as rocks on the topic of what they put their penises into?" Equally applicable and evidence backed, no? Equally irrelevant to the topic at hand?

But instead men are simultaneously superior and somehow at the mercy of these "manipulative women."

This is the opinion of an a US citizen who has family in China. In fact, I just spent a month there visiting. My relatives are missing out on plenty because various US companies will not compromise with the censors.

Rather than have crippled foreign options that are better than what they have now, they get no foreign options at all. The lack of participation from foreign companies encourages the development of domestic companies that are far better at cooperating with censors than foreign companies ever could be. It also decreases the strain on the censors, making censorship even more effective. After all, there is no need to pay people to review foreign language content on YouTube when it is blocked entirely.

Downvote me if you want, but the reality is that refusing to cooperate with censors on things for Chinese IP addresses actually increases censorship. Cooperation does not mean that those cooperating support the censors. However, failure to cooperate does far more to support the censors than cooperation ever could.

I could say more, but I probably have said too much already. Concern for my family in China means that I can never truly speak freely on this topic in public.
You do it. You're the one making the claim. I've been on HN like 8 years and I'm wondering what you mean too.
Is that really that much different than hard drives? No hard drive manufacturer uses the same standards to determine how much space there will actually be on the disk. You can get hard drives that spin at many different RPMs. You can get hard drives with many different connector types. Drives with different numbers of platters. An 8TB, 7200 RPM, SATA, Western Digital drive is not going to have the same seek time as a 1TB, 7200 RPM, SATA, Western Digital drive.

There are so many combinations of hard drives that will result in different performance for different situations all with different costs. Then you start talking about cold storage as well and you've moved into other media formats.

Just because there is a page worth of a pricing model doesn't mean AWS or any cloud provider is doing anything incorrectly. You're paying for on demand X and engineers who are going to utilize that should understand it as well as they would understand how to build an appropriate storage solution of their own. On demand just means now they don't have to take the time to design, implement and operate it themselves.

The Delphi compiler, when hosted in the IDE, has done this since 1996 or so.

The symbol table, generated code etc. for every compilation unit is kept in memory and only discarded if the source is modified. All imports across compilation units are done via a double indirection, so the symbols can be unlinked and relinked more easily.

(Sub-second recompiles in Delphi are the norm, not the exception. In large projects, most of the time during dev builds is linking, and that's usually only a few seconds.)
I would say that the incompatibility is exactly what makes python 3 be python 3. If it could run python 2 bytecode, then it would allow the same ambiguity between strings and binary data as is allowed in Python 2. One of the main goals of Python 3 was to remove this ambiguity, by introducing "str" and "bytes" as separate classes.
