Marx was an Economist. I forget the exact amount of pages he wrote on sociology, history, or philosophy; I believe it was ten pages of this thoughts. And that's what people remember.

He wrote 10,000 pages of economic theory. I can't say they are wrong, or right--I haven't read his complete work.

I doubt Russia bothered to read, and implement his theories to the tee.

I don't think we can honestly evaluate wether he might be wrong, or right.

(I wonder if his plan might work if they could ever take nepotism, and corruption out of the equation. It seems like nepotism, and corruption taint every economic theory?)
By "isn't working", I mean "is actively causing massive poverty despite enormous technical progress to the point where we should technically have the means and resources to provide everything everyone needs to be comfortable".
I just tried this "easter egg" on the latest version of MacVim. Pretty cool.

It appears also to be a tribute the the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Also, If you search help by typing ":help smile", it says "You found it, Arthur! holy-grail", a reference to Arthur Dent.

Now, if we can only implement this on Emacs...
The president I guess. Maybe Facebook should be an independent entity like the Fed.

I'm a lot more worried about corporations exerting undue influence on Facebook (which is what's happening now) than the government doing so.
Citing economic theory that has been discredited as evidence that economics is not a science makes about as much sense as citing Ptolemy's Geocentric model as evidence that astronomy isn't a science.
I wanted to point out that, as you mention, with aggressive post-processing, you can routinely get mm vertical accuracy from GPS measurements. This has been done for several decades now, but it's not an off the shelf result. (Not a "cheap GPS device")

The post processing technology was pioneered by NASA among others. In the western US there is a network of over 1000 such monitors, anchored very deeply, that use these methods. Here is the time series from one in the Bay Area: http://www.unavco.org/instrumentation/networks/status/pbo/ov...

In that plot, you can see lots of interesting effects. First, the virtually continuous lat/lon velocity. Second, the annual vertical trend which usually has to do with groundwater. Additionally, smaller and larger perturbations from all kinds of sources from nearby construction to large scale seismic effects like distant earthquakes.

GPS of this kind is a complementary technology to the fantastic InSAR measurements featured in TFA. Both are widely used in geodesy to measure seismic deformations and deformations due to groundwater extraction. The two approaches offer different temporal, spatial, and accuracy trade offs. For a building like this, if you really wanted to measure subsidence, GPS would yield more temporal information than InSAR.

If I recall correctly, the fundamental limit to the GPS accuracy is uncertainty on tropospheric propagation of the radio signal.

I don't know if this technology is readily available for one-off commercial applications, but it wouldn't be surprising. The required accuracy is clearly within reach, and the software to do the post processing is widely licensed (https://gipsy-oasis.jpl.nasa.gov).
I just recently completely switched away from Atom to VS Code. Also highly extensible, but starts up much faster and has some nice built-in extras like Git-diffing and limited intellisense. Can't live without it now, even on OSX.
That's nonsense. Safe harbor can apply to some parts of a site even if the owners of the site exercise editorial control over some of it. Google has both curated/edited content and user generated content, YouTube has both, facebook has both, newspaper websites have both, WordPress.com has both.

It is not a switch that gets flipped for the entire website when one editorial action happens somewhere on a website, and it exhibits total lack of understanding of the safe harbor provisions to suggest it is.
> Nearly half of the people on earth live on less than $2 a day. I spend more than that on my cellphone bill.

What cell provider does he have, cause $60 a month is cheap. I'm being cute, but seriously $2 a day should not be a measuring stick of average weath. Let's go with the US average of 30k a year according to his own invention [1].

Without a contract, said companys IP is at risk because of an even fuzzier agreement that is not clearly documented.

If a company is worried that the terms of an actual stated, signed contract are too fuzzy, they should be far more worried about not having one.

A little bit off-topic, but do you know any recent work or paper for speech recognition in language teaching area ? (I mean, analysing and rating accuracy of speaker, detect incorrect pronunciation of phones, and so on)
It's also the money that subsidizes people to work the jobs that corporations don't pay enough wages to live off of (e.g. Wal-Mart 'Associates'). Everyone wants goods produced as cheaply as possible, but doesn't want to pay their producers living wages.

That is probably the reason for the quick uptake of pledge in OpenBSD's tree. A lot of their software had already been restructured or rewritten for privilege separation. But looking at a few capsicum diffs in the FreeBSD codebase I'm not sure I'd call those trivial. You can do more with capscium so there is more code to deal with those abilities. But even simple cases hit 20+ lines of code with multiple failure states to deal with. Compared to the usual two line pledge diffs that's quite a bit more work to do.
What about Guarani Aquifer?
Why would this be relevant in HN?
I don't think anyone has tried, and I'm not sure how you'd even tell - there's no solid definition of "fake news". For example, a story from a site called Bipartisan Report which claimed that Trump would eliminate overtime pay for 20 million Trump voters was doing the rounds a few days ago: http://bipartisanreport.com/2016/11/21/breaking-trump-announ... It's not true - the total number of Americans affected is about 4 million, their figure probably included every Trump voter earning under the new threshold, including unemployed, self-employed and retired people, and people who were already eligible for overtime anyway. They also have a handful of Snopes entries associated with them: http://www.snopes.com/search/?q=bipartisan+report Is this fake news or just sloppy reporting from a third-rate site?

Startup: Upload Videos, Gain Followers, and Make Money
I just relaunched my new mobile application called Crowntheapp on the iOS app store. I started Crowntheapp because as the title says all I wanted to do as a college student was upload videos (have fun), gain more social traction and make some money. I felt like the easiest way to do this would be to create a mobile application that did all three of these things. Also, check out our website at www.crowntheapp.com. By clicking the "Home" button you will see more about the app! But MOST importantly, download the app and share:)

Because it doesn't run counter to human nature. If I had a dollar for every time someone rolled out that painful, tired line... It's utterly baseless. Again, it comes down to oversimplification.

bjelkeman-again has a fair point re: northern Europe; some very good examples to the contrary.
He does mention 6am elsewhere in the article, so perhaps she works less than 8 hours. But spending 8 hours a day on commuting is a definite recipe for disaster.
Affordable 9 DoF Sensor Fusion
Yeah, well, perfume is utterly evil, says this life long sufferer of allergies. So that powdered detergent, it was in theory perfume free. But not entirely, Procter & Gamble i.e. Tide and it now seems Sun Products Corporation i.e. All don't bother to clean their machinery between running off lots of normal and "free" of evil stuff, one reason I gave up Tide and switched to All, but fortunately the All is not too bad, at least as of yet.

Also had to give up on Vanicream soap when I assume the company they contract with to make their stuff massively dosed two quite separated in time batches with perfume. Which also taught me to try 1 of every new batch of stuff I buy (I tend to buy stuff like that in April and October when the weather is mild, and increase my inventory to ~12 months so I have plenty of time to find a new brand or solution if the old one goes bad or is discontinued).

Hay, save the nose of the allergy sufferers in your life, get the perfume free stuff by default! At least if it doesn't cost any more to speak of....

And, yeah, I gather the whole shtick of Amazon Pantry is that you buy enough stuff to fill up one big box, no doubt by weight as well as size, which I assume they've worked out deals to ship cheaply. Haven't tried it yet since I've found WalMart.com to be so much cheaper, while there's some Pantry exclusive items, or, say, they're available in quantity 1 that way, I just haven't been able to come close to filling up a box. WalMart doesn't care, except in giving you a strong incentive to buy at least $50.01 of stuff at a time, which isn't hard.
The article didn't mention Qatar. Difficult to see it as complete without understanding what the Qatari's are doing, especially in Syria.

Then you don't own a license, the business does, and they can re-use it for any employee, as long as only one employee gets a license at a time. Their FAQ explains it all well: https://www.sublimetext.com/sales_faq
A possible solution to the "raising taxes on corporation will drive them to other jurisdictions" problem is to make the taxes the same everywhere, at least within the same country, ideally at the world's level, for a truly level playing field. Another would be to say "we prevent you from doing business here if you don't do something here" (the india / china strategy).
the fact of the rich being well off doesn't necessarily hurt the non-rich

That's debatable. Human beings have a pretty significant natural tendency to look at the relative well-being rather than their absolute well-being. It makes sense, given that for any social animal, relative well-being aka ranking in the group hierarchy, is essential.

Some people are more affected by this and other less, but even all else equal, increased inequality can reduce people's quality of life.

Add to that the effect of mass media which allows an easy comparison to some of the most wealthy and powerful people in society, and you have a recipe for widespread unhappiness.
A Tesla model S is worth > $50k unless its been in an accident or otherwise damaged. What more valuable thing could someone possibly steal with access to my cell phone?
Not easily! I'm doing speech recognition; I might be able to run a segment through two separate models, with half the lexicon available in each run, then just combine the results. However I don't think the overall savings will be enough to justify running it twice. It's getting close though, once they get the RAM up more, I'll try it out.
Won't get anywhere with a dataset. You need dozens or hundreds of them, and they are usually created using Amazon Turk, so anyone with some money can create one. And they need to be commissioned by the AI researchers, because they know best what they want to study.

NVIDIA needs to become more efficient and build deep learning hardware instead of graphics cards that do faster computation than CPU. If only they could create a small form AI processor for robotics that could do vision at 500+ frames per second. Take a look at this video from 7 years ago which does 1Khz vision: https://youtu.be/-KxjVlaLBmk?t=158

We need that.
Using IP Street's Semantic Search API as a Prior Art Search Tool
Given that the total of humanity produces all necessary food, consumables and other services today, it seems that humanity generates and requires an amount of work that seems to be in some sort of equilibrium right now. The rest is just a matter of distribution.
> That runs entirely counter to human nature.

Not so. Tribal societies inherently function on everyone in the tribe working for the overall good rather than their individual gain. Socially, this is how we function by default - people will make sacrifices, extend loans, give gifts, and generally help out those close to them (family, friends, tribe members) without an expectation of something in return.

I said nothing about ignoring economics 101. I'm talking about application of principles in moderation, accounting for nuance, and it's again been framed as an extreme absolute.

That said, as other commenters have pointed it, it is a little rich comparing economics to physics
My Nokia 3310 survived the cloth washer twice. Fifteen years ago.
It's battery also lasted for several weeks.

This line of reasoning is amusingly similar to NIH-syndrome.
Hi Andrea -- https://github.com/darius/parson is in Python. It's probably not very similar because I haven't got around to studying Ohm, but it shares the basic goal of not writing semantic actions inline in some particular language. (I wrote it in my first Recurse Center stint back in 2012.)
I think it's possible if you make your meta grammar programmable, i.e. instead of generating code to compile, go into higher-order programming and return structures that contain functions to execute. This will let you insert programmable hooks into nodes on different stages and various specific behaviors, including proper errors, specific whitespaces, etc. Even switch parsers depending on context.

What I mean is something like this in pseudo code:

parser = Parser ("
...
program ::= statements eof
statements ::= statement*
")
parser.AddHookBefore ("statement", function {
...
})
ast = parser.match (input)
I don't see anybody painting this as "sticking to principles" and the message certainly does not read that way to me.
> Those of us who are technically minded knew it was going on years before Snowden showed up

I seem to recall it being dismissed by the technically minded as possible but largely tinfoil hat conspiracy before Snowden showed up.
The rate of CO2 emission per GDP is already decreasing thanks to technological advances. There's no fundamental reason why the same couldn't happen to the ratio of energy use per GDP. So finite supply of resources is not a problem per se, and certainly won't be within our lifetimes, which is what we need to deal with.
I think it's an effect of globalization. Once you're linked to other economies, you'll have to run at full speed to compete with the other guys.
As it turns out, it doesn't matter if you're against net neutrality, it's still probably in your interest. Exceptions might include if you're a telecom rentier or an authoritarian interested in policing content.

But what of the risk to your mental health if you end up realizing that how much money you make isn't measuring how much value you provide to society?

Or that, there are inherent contradictions in capitalism and therefore people have lied to you. The system is more complex and less rational than you thought. That would mean that we aren't in Fukuyama's post-ideological, end-of-history era!

Sounds terrifying, maybe it is better to avoid becoming an educated adult.
I'm hoping the competitor will be a light and universal Authentication+Authorization protocol under a ubiquitous set of service contracts like contacts, calendar, tasks, etc... the direction LiveJournal was going essentially, possibly with some modernized stack pieces. Paired with low energy+cost home servers like RasPis, reasonably reliable broadband in at least one extended family home, and perhaps some self-maintaining systems in the cloud with self-owned AWS keys similar to "mail in a box".

My thinking is you can present and recombine data in any number of ways and we have the tools to do it, there "just" needs to be some organization. One could even make an ironically named FakeBook that presents a familiar UI on top of a federated system. It could even import FB data dumps. I've lead a couple/few attempts to rally my techie friends to build something like this with limited success, though not since ~2008.

> It used to be really, really good. Now it's just crap. I hope a new competitor shows them what's up.

My last effort was cloning MySpace with open source stuff like XMPP but Facebook got really good during that time frame, kinda sad I didn't keep going now (hindsight). I made an AOL/AIM alternative in VB3 that a bunch of people at my high school were using in 2000 at age 15 when I got my first DSL line, no technical reasons anyone can't come out of left field and overthrow them esp. in 2016.

> Are people really that helpless?

But as I've made my way around Silicon Valley, the "VHS vs Beta" anecdote keeps coming to mind as I see marketing dollars behind the proliferation of inferior but wildly popular tech. In my view now this is a war for attention FB is winning, the only way to overthrow FB is to really show people that it's a piece of the worst smelling thing you can imagine. I had a visceral reaction seeing Zuck in a suit, I can't be the only one--not disgust or anything, just that it wasn't a hoodie as his MO previously dictated... could sell the sell-out story to some, now, with deep implications on privacy/freedom of expression/access to "true" information.
Local DNSSEC validation allows your software to reject modified responses (provided the domain is DNSSEC signed).

In the future, DNS over TLS, will also prevent this kind of tampering, and additionally prevent snooping on your DNS-to-resolver traffic.
Good memories.

Does anyone remember where an Exodus colo facility was in SF around that same time (1999-2001)? That was my first visit to the area and I can't seem to locate the neighborhood now that I live here.
Depends. Some are but but in recent years it's been more common to use steel structures which (being lighter) don't require that.

Noise might have something to do with too. The last building that I recall having bedrock-depth pilings involved loud shuddering bangs through the financial district for nearly a month. Like you could feel it through the ground 3 blocks away every time they dropped the hammer..
Well, it is difficult, because for a media player, you need to have a correct video stack, (which means X11, DRI, mesa, OpenGL etc...) and a correct audio stack (which means pulseaudio) and those are quite hard to ship in a cross platform way.

If you look at the Snap packages of VLC, a LARGE part is not VLC at all, but this graphic stack.

We spent a large amount of time troll^Wdiscussing about the behaviour of the "focal length", notably whether we should increase the fov, the zoom or both, depending on the angle requested. I have to say that I'm quite happy with what we've decided to use, in the end.

Have these friends of yours tried talking to e.g. a powerlifting or bodybuilding coach? It's pretty easy to get on a structured low-effort diet to gain weight, and muscle mass with some exercise thrown in.

Getting above 1500 calories isn't some desperate effort of "spend[ing] every waking moment stuffing in high-calorie food". It's a couple of protein shakes a day that take you a couple of minutes to prepare & slurp down.

Eating enough can be a very difficult logistical problem, but not at the 1500 calorie level, but at something like a >5000 calorie level where you're a professional strongman or powerlifter, or someone like Michael Phelps eating 8000 calories a day.
