Even what you're referring to has been around for at least 15 years, the internet is not exactly new anymore. I don't disagree with you that the spread of false information is a problem, it's more that I deeply disagree with the tone and proposed solutions within most of these articles about 'fake news'. I would like to utilize the corresponding ability of the internet to rapidly disseminate truth as a way to combat falsehood, and to me this entails building open, distributed discussion platforms where both anonymity and verified identities are possible.

What a lot of people don't realize is how close Trudeau's family was to Castro. Castro was a pallbearer at Justin Trudeau's father's funeral. Castro held Justin's baby brother in his arms.

Yep: first, rents crash in the East Bay and other outlying areas, and then as traffic diminishes people who were paying $$$ to rent in PA/MA/MV decide that it wouldn't be so bad to live farther out. Rents then drop everywhere, although home sale prices never really drop much in PA/MA—they just level off for a while.
If you had to choose one person - a real person, or an imaginary one - to watch you through your whole life, and know everything you do and why you do it; not judging or disciplining you, but just being aware of your inner self ... who would that person be? Who would you choose, and why?

Would you choose someone you respect? Someone you would not wish to hurt or shame? Would it be someone who brings out the best in yourself? Would you want to earn their respect for yourself?

Would you choose someone who rates people as winners and losers, bosses and suckers? Someone who doesn't care how they make others feel, so long as they're the ones on top? Would you want to earn their approval as another winner on their level?

The choice you make will tell you where your self-respect lies. Look after your self-respect. Other things can disappear from your life, either temporarily or permanently: health, wealth, love, security, friends, luck, dignity, purpose, joy. They're not always in your control. But self-respect is in your own keeping. And it can be enough, by itself, to make you feel that life is still worth living, and that you're glad to be who you are.

Seek Joy. Seek the company of people you admire. You can seek their company through the internet, books and film as much as by actually meeting.

Who are your heroes? Try to keep them, and what's heroic about them, in mind. Recognise they are human too, though.
As a practical matter how do you ensure that without a process to vet every single source that wishes to publish news? This makes it harder for someone to enter the market and makes it possible for arbitrary or stilted rules to be imposed by the gatekeepers on a whim.

If you have 25 minutes to spare, there's a great documentary called "Bavarian Fairytale" [1] about the Mittelstand. The core theme is how Bavaria survived the global financial crisis, but I think it does a good job of explaining the Mittelstand values through interviews with the people running the companies. (Making quality products / craftsmanship seems to be another core value.)

What language were you using to do that?

Just curious - not sure if you were using Ruby like the parent above. I literally just built a library to back ActiveRecord models with temporary tables. It's very useful since you can use AR scopes off of your temporary table then (I had to do this instead of using CTE's because my DB currently doesn't support CTE's)

https://github.com/ajbdev/acts_as_temptable

Just thought I'd share it in case it helps, or to hear if anyone else has a better approach to this. (warning: it's very experimental and not production tested yet). I couldn't find any other gem that would do this.
You called it right - problem. If you do fasting (no food, just water) for 72h and after fasting put on the table your "delicious" Diet Coke and, let's say V8 veggie juice and try both your body will tell you what's good. You won't be able to drink sweetened drink.

USB-C is a collection of standards rather than one standard. As others have pointed out, two USB-C devices can use the same standard yet not operate together.

The standard covers both 20V and 5V power supply. If the device needs 20V and only gets 5V, there is nothing that says it must work, or even inform the user that it, in fact, is not working.

The NIH reports 4 different adenoviruses that make people obese:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17908526

The 4 viruses are SMAM-1, Ad-36, Ad-37, and Ad-5.

It looks like Wikipedia needs an update; only 1 of the 4 viruses is listed:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infectobesity

This certainly suggests that you could catch obesity from an obese person. It's actually kind of terrifying.
Those people and their R tuples of personal biometric data you're asked to normalize! They should just mount scratch retinas and feet, and half of their measurements would be logged without so much as a cellphone lens and IR webcam to bother. If they came with instruments.
You'd always prefer $100 today vs $100 in a year. In order to convince someone to invest you need to offer them more than that in the future.

If the discount rate is 10% (not bank interest, just how much I personally value time) then unless you offer me more than $ 110, I'd rather spend the money now.

For people to invest, discounted_expected_return[1] - capital_gains should be higher than the money in their wallets.

You can play around in excel to understand this better, with a 5% return, a 20% tax on both income and capital gains and a 10% discount rate, $ 100 in income is either $ 80 today or $ 76 in a year.

Fair enough. Can I at least suggest, though, that if you don't want political fights going on at HN it would be a good idea to swiftly remove "stories" such as this one that are purely political and are guaranteed to bring out every ax-grinder on the Internet in the comments?

> instead of taking a comically bad example

On the contrary, my example is probably the best you can get because the point I'm making is the equivalence between one government and another, or between US presidents and Castro is a false one. No one is saint obviously but the offenses have a different gravity hence we have as different societies as North and South Korea.

Some Western people might feel like the US or the UK are literally totalitarian states but they just didn't live under autocratic regimes.

Speaking of which, the false equivalence narrative is actively exploited by such regimes to legitimize their own miserable state of affairs. It's fascinating how it works but apparently if something is bad in, say, Russia and also bad in the US (as told by the state TV), Russian citizens are fine with their conditions not being improved.
> If you can code something quickly and well enough that it doesn't immediately collapse under its own weight, you have succeeded.

Well, yeah, for the first version. But when is the first version also the last one? Not in many good situations. Crap that doesn't immediately collapse under its own weight will probably immediately collapse as soon as you add more weight to it in version 2.

A lack of anxiety about the structure of the product is myopic and ignorant of engineering realities. There's got to be a balance. Too little anxiety, and you lose customers to competitors that spent more time to build a quality product, structured so that it's easier to grow. Too much anxiety, and you're in a "perfect is the enemy of good" situation, and you'll lose customers to competitors that were able to iterate faster and with a proper balance.
Errrrrr.... It would shut up Zen go or prove them right? That seems like a reason.

To be clear I'm not against the use of ORMs.

This is quite a news. I just looked at renting page of my formal apartment in Wayback Machine. They had listed 3 bedroom + garage at $2200 in Puget Sound area from January to May. Now its $2100. Not a big decrease but I don't recall I had ever seen a decrease during past 5 year or so. It's actually quite shocking.

This probably means that the real estate price cycle theory is right. First house prices goes up so construction boom starts and then supply overfloods the market and suddenly there are no takers which brings rent as well as house prices down. It's closed loop with delays so you get overshoots and undershoots. This can be mark of price fall for next 3-5 years in real estate as well rents.
So true...

Findability and access is also an issue. The old papers are still locked up behind an ACM and IEEE paywall. Only those lucky enough to have a campus wide access policy can search and even then, the search interfaces are slow and or horribly broken.

Maybe with virtualization, containerization, etc we can archive executable environments that people can still play with in 20 years. The sands of time are brutal to papers, code, executables and people.
I use a cheap 3.5mm-accepting headphone set [0] if travelling, or a pair of AKG K550 [1] modified to accept a 3.5mm replaceable cable, with a V-Moda boom mic [2]. The boom mic is what makes this combo. It's really cheap, and crazy resilient. I have been travelling with it for the past year and trip over it all the time. It's still going strong, and it's also the best headphone cord I've ever had as well.

Drudge or CNN have been capable of spreading 'fake news' to tens of millions via the Web in the US for 15 or more years.

The current propaganda over fake news is solely about the Trump election result and attempting to install a form of censorship & control over information either directly (outlaw 'fake news' via political content controls or similar) or indirectly (get FB/Google/Twitter to shut down distribution, which they're thrilled to do) to prevent that from ever happening again.
There is a bit of a difference, don't you think? Where are the mass graves and people desperately seeking to escape?
Thank you for the clarification!

And, indeed, "static duck typing" is exactly what I'm thinking about when I'm dealing with OCaml objects.

FWIW, while it was relatively obscure, TypeScript is currently popularizing this concept (albeit with a lot less type inference). Although they also refer to it as "structural subtyping":

https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/type-compatibil...

But if I understand correctly, they're basically doing the same thing that's going on here - the only difference is that the ".." is implicit in any TS interface type. Or am I wrong?
Heh. Was amused by this line

ATT/Comcast: Sure is a nice startup you got there... be a shame if anything happened to your packets.
The “historic construction boom” just seems historic because it followed a historic construction bust, so the first order derivative is pretty high. And it’s all concentrated in a few neighborhoods right outside reporters’ offices, so it seems more dramatic than it actually is.

Even so, the construction rate now is not matching the rate in the early 1960s[0]. Back then, the bad word was “urban renewal,” and the people and politicians of San Francisco managed to stop it. Unsurprisingly, that only exacerbated the housing crisis, setting off the exponential rise in prices that has now reached unbelievable levels[1].

So, nothing of substance has changed. NIMBYs and their supervisors have still effectively outlawed affordable housing, so financiers have not been willing to fund projects until the market-rate prices reached so far into the stratosphere that they could expect to make a profit. So they make only super-expensive housing, with some “affordable” units begrudgingly provided to lottery winners as the community organizers have forced them to, which feeds back into the common misperception that developers are only willing to build super-expensive housing. Which provides political support for more restrictions, which raise the costs, which slow construction, which raises the prices, in an insane feedback loop.

I'm in the opposite situation. I moved to Washington from a small Rust Belt city. The last house I toured there was a historic 5500 ft^2 Victorian 6 bd 5 bath, in the most desirable location, and thus with near instant liquidity. It was listed for $500k. With a local bank, which knows the housing market in the area, the mortgage would have been less than $2000/mo.

Considering the inexpensive housing, an excellent Jesuit preparatory school for $7k/year, the low cost of living, and the huge scholarships to the city's University, a family of five could live extremely comfortably for $150,000-$200,000/yr. Couples with occupations such as lawyer, doctor, engineer, or small business owner live like they're downright rich.

I suppose it's the old adage that keeps me in DC: You could sell your house here and live like a king anywhere else. But you never will, because you're afraid you'll never be to get back.
I am not a big fan of greedy-unchecked-capitalism but communism is not the answer for problems of the world.

A thought exercise: Here is an attempt to take on an argument made by the communist apologists about Cuba in favor of Castro: that "there are no children sleeping on the streets."

May be that's true even if we don't have any independent scrutiny made by human rights organizations to support it. But "no children sleeping on the streets" is not a sufficient condition to judge the social progress of the nation.

For instance, these children may be sent to gulags (if they happen to be of the lesser equal people) or they may be forced to sleep on floors in a dungeon and still the claim "no cuban children sleeping on the streets" will be technically true. Or even the tyrant Castro might have ordered to kill all the children who were seen to be sleeping on streets (who's to prevent him from doing so there?)

The apologists just shun away from such critique as they are dishonest or are passionate followers blinded by their faith in communism.

It's fascinating that it's happening at a time when wage growth across the board is at a eight to nine year high (and plausibly heading even higher so long as unemployment remains where it is). So whatever supply is coming on-line, is entirely cancelling out that wage growth.
The literary glamour of madness
I remember when I first got my MacBook with the Force Touch trackpad (that doesn't physically move but instead using haptics to simulate the 'click' feeling) and how much I hated it initially. The illusion of the click worked fine, it just wasnt nearly as strong enough. A week later and I love it and hate the previous buttons which just feel mushy and archaic.

Similar story with iPhone 7 home button, except I've just come to accept it and ignore it but wish we still had a proper physical home button.
Thank you for the links.

The Reddit discussion references the Helms-Burton act, and for the case of things like banks and payment processors, I expect the problem is Title I section 103, which prohibits US nationals from extending loans or other financing to anyone for the purpose of financing transactions involving confiscated property as defined elsewhere in the act.

So for the cigar case, if the cigars were grown on land that was confiscated (for example), my reading of it is that processing a payment for the cigars would be prohibited under the act. Certainly so for MasterCard and Visa, which are clearly extending credit.

That's not the same as a blanket ban on both doing business with Cuba and business with US companies, but it does make things very complicated, I agree, especially because there are so many ways of extending credit when companies deal with each other.
A very strange thing to write as my first post, but in one of the debates Trump did indeed say he would respect the results "if I win" [1].

I think the "I'll look at it on the day" comments came a bit later.

Aha! This makes lots of sense to me.

Whenever I'm watching a movie with good actors, even though I know they are acting it's easy to let myself go and be absorbed by the story. They make it seem so easy (as most top professionals do) that sometimes I even start to think "acting can't be that hard!, I mean, you just have to reeeeally believe you are the character".

However in a low-budget movie, which usually has less skilled actors, you can definitely see this "System2-trying-to-fake-System1" behavior. This is also quite probably what would happen if someone filmed me trying to act, but I never found an explanation for why this happened.

Thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely give it a go. It does look like a very interesting insight into human behavior.
