Could that be because it's the same people and companies building things in the city, based broadly on what's done elsewhere in America? It's very, very hard to develop a culture completely independent of the rest of the country, especially when large amounts of money (and therefore the need to interact with national entities like banks) become involved.
China was doing really really badly until Mao died and Deng took power and began implementing market reforms, bringing capitalism in.

Sandy Bridge-Ivy Bridge > Haswell-Broadwell > Skylake-KabyLake

That is now 5 - 6 years without much performance improvement. You will need to use those newer instructions (AVX2). So basically we have been getting the same CPU performance at a lower power usage, and at a similar price point.

From SandyBridge to Kaby Lake, there is may be maximum 15% IPC difference. So all AMD will need to do, is to catch up to Haswell or Broadwell, i.e Catch up to performance of Intel's CPU 4 years ago, and offer 20%-50% discount price.

The higher end, Server, high margin CPU that intel currently enjoys are exactly where AMD needs to hit.
Theoretically, those who need high end CPU for gaming will also need a high end GPU. But knowing AMD it is hard for me to imagine how two unit within the same company could cooperate.
Artificially banning a class of workers isn't really the free market. They're not leaving to make more efficient use of their labor. Just as banning black workers would up the wages for white workers according to the free market.

It's good for those in the US obtaining those jobs and right for the country from a nationalist perspective.

As a humanist you may not like that. As an American, I believe that's right. Stop dragging the wage base down because it's "humanitarian" for immigrants. It's not. It's just enabling abusive labor practices.

Mexico's wages will rise just the same as China's as they industrialize.

Happened here in the UK too. Northern Rock was in trouble but companies get in trouble all the time; what killed it and precipitated a full-blown financial crisis here was certain journalists revelling in the downfall of capitalism from the safety of their state-broadcaster sinecures...
Yeah, Ruby's grammar is very much a result of piling features into the canonical implementation ("MRI" - Matz Ruby Interpreter - it's what you'll find as "ruby" most places) to make it nice for developers, without formalizing the grammar in any way whatsoever.

There's been some work in formalizing it later - there's an ISO standard for a subset of Ruby - and people have tried to document it, but the language in general is so convoluted that e.g. a number of years back I wrote an article on the Ruby object model that covered eigenclasses by instrumenting the then-current version of MRI.

Then I got "corrected" - because apparently the documented inheritance hierarchy was different. Except the interpreter hadn't followed the docs for several years, and nobody had noticed...

The "canonical" documentation of the Ruby parser is basically a 6000+ line Bison file where most of the linecount is taken up with handling exceptions... It's awful.

You mentioned here-docs I think - in Ruby you can do this:

foo(<<HERE1, <<HERE2)
Part of HERE1
HERE1
Part of HERE2
HERE2

I find here-docs that actually start right then and there ugly enough, but that's taking it a bit too far for me...

Another favourite abomination: "% 42 " parses as the string "42", while "x % 42 " parses as "x modulo 42". Basically if % occurs as a prefix operator, it starts a quoted string where the following character will be the quote character, with some exceptions (e.g. left braces, brackets and parantheses indicates it'll end with the opposite) - and even space and linefeed works...

One of those things that probably seemed useful at the time, and was added without any restrictions, and it's just become an accepted part of the language (if I ever see anyone using it, I might become homicidal).

In terms of naming of parsers, my operator precedence parser is specifically bottom up, so a variation over Djikstra's shunting yard algorithm, just to add another variant. I might have to look at the top down variants more too.

I heard about this second hand from some Bay Area residents in their 70s: Back in the 60s a lot of the hippy communes were able to take over old run down mansions in the Bay Area in Marin and San Francisco. These mansions got run down because, due to no illegal immigration, construction and maintenance were very expensive and keeping old houses up was astronomically expensive.
How is that relevant?

Lots of people in Miami consider themselves Cuban and are just waiting for the opportunity to go home and reclaim their family's birthright. Leaving a particular regime doesn't mean abandoning your heritage.
In a global economy, the supply includes people from Mexico too. Your argument is right under the assumption that we do not artificially decreased the number of laborers from Mexico.
A good rebuttal.

However it rests on an assumption because broad based stagnation did occur during the Industrial Revolution.

www.nuffield.ox.ac.uk/users/Allen/unpublished/pessimism-6.pdf

There was a period of about 50 years when wages didn't change and when countless cottage industries with skilled labour disappeared. The standard of living did not increase for most people at this time. Today this has been conveniently forgotten.

The standard narrative that life improved for most people is only true if you examine economic history on a timescale of centuries.

One question that comes to mind is: are you going to be alive when a technology such as biotech brings home the bacon? Eroom's Law suggests life longevity escape velocity (as hypothesized by Audrey with SENS) is very unlikely.

In my former post there is a link to a youtube video made in 1969 by the Ford Corporation. Our grandparents expected a lot of substantive changes that have not yet occurred. I consider those reasonable projections still. I would like most of us put them conservatively at 50 years hence. Yet that would imply it took a century from our grandparent's original projections.

I make the claim that it is perfectly possible we won't have any significant results from biotechnology for hundreds of years.

Furthermore it is not crazy to speculate that if we enter a long term stagnation there is the possibility we enter a new dark age. This is not taken seriously by most men of intelligence today, and I consider that highly unfortunate because it too, is a genuine possibility, an outlier that becomes more likely with each year of broad stagnation that passes. I would like to remind the reader that by some metrics our production levels only exceeded that of the Roman Empire in the 18th century. That is 1000 years later.

tldr; More of us should be more worried. There should be far more urgency about innovation than there is today.

The 'benevolent dictator' is a nice oxymoron, but that's it. For a good and stable dictatorship you really want to control all three powers. What good is a dictator if I can sue him and his clique?

Exactly. Don't worry: you're obese, but it's not your fault! Here's a cookie.

Gee, I wonder why the nytimes would publish such "comforting" articles.
perhaps due to the clickbaity title, it seems people are reading "agree to arbitration" as "agree that Well Fargo's internal decisions are final and waive their right to legal remedy."

let's firstly identify that yes, this is how people in the thread take "agree to arbitration."

Next let me ask: I did a quick Google search,

https://www.google.com/search?q=does+arbitration+always+favo...

expecting to see that, for example, perhaps arbitration always results in the larger player being awarded whatever they say. (Meaning that it is equal to saying "agree that its decisions are final and customers waive all recourse.")

But it seems the link isn't quite conclusive - it seems the results just show that the "Forced arbitration clauses almost always favor the company over the individual" - which is very strong language, but is about "favor" and not outright as categorical.

So I'm curious if people have experience with arbitration -- is it fair to read the arbitration clause as being de facto tantamount to Wells Fargo's decisions being final? (With the arbitration itself being an afterthought, a mere formality.)

Or is it just a bit lopsided, but still not quite as final and definitive as that?

I ask because in theory, in an environment of frivolous lawsuits that can cost companies literally hundreds of thousands or millions of legal fees, it might certainly make sense for arbitration clauses to limit the extent to which they are embroiled in huge lawsuits.

This reason for arbitration would be a bit different from the reason that "it's really just an excuse to say whatever we say is final."

If I were a corporation, I wouldn't think that an arbitration clause is the same as saying "our company's policies are final and we decide what they mean: you waive all right to any recourse".

Is that what other people here think it means?

(Genuine, open question - as you can see I did a Google search more or less with this phrasing.) Curious what you think, or your experiences. Or whether you've used arbitration clauses in the past, either on the corporate side against a frivolous lawsuit, or as a consumer against a large corporation. (I don't expect corporate lawyers from large corporations to read this comment and respond honestly - but small startup CEO's and individuals, sure. Of course, if you're doing evil work for a large corporation as a corporate lawyer enforcing lopsided contracts, I guess you're welcome to come clean under a throwaway...)
On the contrary, he knows exactly what communism is. He's just mistakenly ascribed the realities of communism to the ideology. Even then, I suspect this is all semantics and he doesn't actually think Marx was advocating despots and totalitarian rule.

Oh yes. Bash is definitely not a good general purpose programming langauge, hell I'd hesitate to even call it a programming language. However, it's very much so the right tool for the job in an initramfs. How familiar are you with the early boot process on a modern Linux distro? Ever had to do it manually from an initramfs rescue shell? Well, if not, it basically just involes invoking a bunch of commands and minimal parsing. Most early boot configs like /etc/fstab are easily readable with awk and are well suited to handling with shell scripts. All you basically have is a stripped down userspace with coreutils plus the commands necessary to prepare the system for the full boot. Shell scripts are the natural choice for tying it all together. I actually really like bash in general, in the niches it's suited for it's very nice.
It was a socialist party. It does not reflect on socialism in general, but don't equate racism, natinalism etc... to necessarily extreme right:

"Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei": National Socialist German Workers' Party

"Its precursor, the German Workers' Party"

"The party was created as a means to draw workers away from communism and into völkisch nationalism.[7] Initially, Nazi political strategy focused on anti-big business, anti-bourgeois, and anti-capitalist rhetoric, although such aspects were later downplayed in order to gain the support of industrial entities, and in the 1930s the party's focus shifted to anti-Semitic and anti-Marxist themes."

> He believed in freedom and dignity.

That's exactly why he never allowed free election, a free press, free speech, free markets, or freedom to leave his island paradise.

>He saw the US government as the enemy of progress everywhere in the world

That just makes him an idiot. The US government has been the primary proponent of progress, spreading free markets and democracy around the globe.

>What opposition? Imperialists and mafia members who wished to turn Cuba into an enclave for gambling?

The million plus refugees from Castro's island paradise. Most of whom were not wealthy. Just not fans of Castro's brutality. Go to Miami and tell them how awesome Castro was.

Fidel was a brutal dictator and his memory deserves to be pissed on. Any who celebrate him are ignorant, evil, or fools.

You certainly can write scanner/lexer-less parsers. Most of Niklaus Wirth's languages for example are well suited for that as they tend to require only one character lookahead and lack ambiguity to the point where you can write a totally straight-forward recursive descent parser that calls straight into routines for parsing specific types of tokens.

In practice that still means you have pretty much the same code boundaries, just that you don't have a general "next token" function to discriminate between the different token types.

My Ruby parser does have a generic tokenizer, but uses a mostly lexer-free model for the high level structure and then calls the generic tokenizer for the lower level bits that I handle with an operator precedence parser.

I agree with in principle, though - most of my parsers have never maintained a very strict separation, and I've written parser generators too that didn't have lexer/parser distinction at all (you could draw an artificial line and say that leaves in the BNF represented lexer tokens, but there were absolutely no code to treat that differently)

nice bait
The US attitude towards immigration is completely asinine and driven by ignorance. Immigrants are a huge sector in the economy.

This WSJ article, like so many others, is part of that ignorance in that it isn't about low skill or low pay workers. It is about filling jobs, regardless of pay rate, that US citizens are not willing to fill. A prime example is software developers.

In the US software developers make 2x to 3x the national average pay rate for full time labor. Despite the high pay rate and comfortable work environment there is a massive demand for skills that is not being filled domestically. From 1995-2005 there was a massive off-shoring to find low cost software developers. Since 2010 the off-shoring is entirely about finding competent employees to fill labor shortages opposed to reducing expenses. Americans are not willing to step up and take these available software development jobs at a level of competence demanded by employers regardless of pay rate.

A popular bitch-fest on reddit is that software developers are paid too low and if they were paid more this problem would be magically solved. First of all there is absolutely no evidence to suggest such. Secondly, software developers are already paid well and still there are massive shortages with high attrition. These problems are not related to pay rates, but are deeper rooted issues more related to outdated skills, low confidence, missing initiative, and poor education. These deeper problems are a hard pill to swallow considering they require some amount of time and investment and still result in an substandard result.
>Also Socialism, Communism, Marxism are just the packaging.

That's like saying modern terrorism as practiced by groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS has nothing to do with a particular interpretation of Islam, but is rather just a response to colonialism and foreign interference in middle eastern countries, etc.

There was an ideological basis to the Cuban revolution that tapped into a existing global Marxist ideology. 'Packaging' was critical.
Doable. In a way. But think about the problem, if a '3d/stereoscopic' effect is what you're after.

When you turn your head right, the left 'eye' would be 'looking' at the right 'eye/camera' (at the side). The only way to achieve what you're thinking about is to have the cameras move the same way as the head (ie: 'live' not pre-recorded) on a pan/tilt setup. (There are a few Raspberry Pi projects around that do this).

It's easy enough to play two identical videos to each eye in Google Cardboard, using ThreeJS in a browser. The videos need to be in either 'spherical/equirectangular' format as a texture on a sphere (with a virtual camera in the middle), or using the cubic format (which Facebook uses and open-sourced) projected onto a cube. Look up 'skybox' and ThreeJS for examples.

I've been experimenting a lot with all this stuff over the last year or so :)

Ask HN: Your experience with Google Play customer support
Hi HN

I'm currently in contact with the Google Play customer support over email about an issue with a Google Play Service I'm paying for and I have to say that I feel a little bit like the support staff is not really taking on the problem I have described to them but rather tries to satisfy me with repeating prefabricated standard answer templates.
I really appreciate their work and I assume that there are a dozen other open issues from customers besides me they have to solve.
I'm also working as a software engineer, thus I know what it means to support customers having problems with a product. But what really bothers me is that I feel like they try to feed me with answer templates instead of forwarding me after a good amount of emails to the next support level with deeper expertise.

What really interests me is whether anybody else here had a similiar experience with the Google Play Support or any other support from Google?

The market isn't "supposed" to work like anything. It just works some way, just as gravity does. It doesn't have feelings, it doesn't have preferences, it just is.

You may support some nativist policies since they are advantageous for the group you are part of, but why try to make it sound like it's some kind of universally just way to do things?
Castro is up there with the worst of the worst (Hitler, Pol pot, amin, mugabe, chavez, Kim Jong, Stalin, Mao, etc) these individuals resigned to their humanity the moment they decided to step all over their citizen's rights and dignity for their own benefit.

Please stop trying to humanize him.

It is nonsensical to credit Trump's win to the Electoral College. How a candidate runs a campaign is dependent on the rules that govern the election. If you were to change the rules, the campaign would be run differently. None of us know what would have happened if the candidates had run their campaigns without the constraints imposed by the Electoral College.
