I also remember reports that 110 and 112 calls (German emergency numbers) were down for four hours in some county recently due to technical issues on DTs part. I never saw an explanation what the exact cause was. Fire services and police handled it decently (iirc. stuff got routed to the next city and they increased patrol cars). Still a bit alarming that there's no fail over in place and these numbers basically rely on one company (probably routed in the fact that DT used to be state owned and is thus still implicitly trusted?).
The source of one's claims doesn't matter, you only know they're probably not from experience because the Parent was kind enough to share their age.

I coded my first assembler program (a link relocation routine) when I was 13, so age is pretty meaningless in the context of assembler coding.

>"Neither the Senate nor the House held a hearing or a markup on the relevant committees to evaluate these changes," Coons said.

Both these statements give me very little faith in what our government will do over the next 4-8 years.
Great question. I have a friend who used to work on the human brain project and I asked him a similar question. What surprised me is that the software that gets run on super computers is usually quite simple BUT the computational complexity is high or the volume of data is large. Fairly non-technical people (i.e. not necessarily computer scientists but maybe mathematicians) would typically submit small programs written in Python that would be automatically compiled into something that used the hardware to its maximum potential (instead of compiling it to something more portable). I believe that software running on super computers is closer to the wire than clustered computers. The operating systems are often very stripped down and custom too.

When those opinions support denying civil rights from minorities like LGBT people then those opinions are inherently wrong. Whether it's civil marriage or respecting trans people when it comes to non-discrimination in the various spheres of public life (employment & public accommodations), these rights shouldn't be a matter of debate but rather the baseline for any discussion. It's not like these rights impede free association in the private sphere.

I don't think we have a consensus as to which most behavioral and cognitive traits are related to "natural" or genetic factors or behaviors, nutrition, education, etc relating to our lives path.

The 19th century version of someone with your thought pattern would no doubt see my ancestors in Ireland as a group of simple peasant bumpkins living with livestock and not capable of basic activities, much less advanced cognitive skills. Yet my grandparents managed to get out of there in the 1940s and move to New York City. Their grandchildren are doctors, attorneys, engineers, detectives, teachers and business leaders.

So when you tell me that someone from Nigeria or Sierra Leone is statistically likely to be fundamentally dumber than myself or my family, I'm skeptical.

Your position is just semantic games: traveling to a past state of the universe and living there is time travel -- you translated your state in to a past configuration of the universe. You're just sitting there whining how what both scientists and lay people would accept as time travel (living in the past) isnt Real Time Travel, because it's not some fictionalized Platonic ideal you've constructed and insist is the One True Meaning.

Amature science people are the worst: a little knowledge keeps you from seeing the picture.
> I'd love to live in the world rms lives in but most of the time free software just isn't good enough to be a viable option.

I've made this argument before myself, but I wonder how true it really is. The reality is, in 2016, that it's easy to assemble a free software environment that's far above and beyond anything I'd have had access to back when I started computing. It's true that that fit and finish of the best 2016 FOSS software doesn't match the fit and finish of the 2016 proprietary software, but in many ways, it's more than match for 1995 era software. While that may seem like faint praise, it was easily possible to do good, significant work in that kind of environment.

So your problem is that some totally separate pieces of code are not open source. Yeah, well, that is not the fault of open source.

Whoever wrote Replicant could just as well have written it in GPL and it would have made absolutely no difference unless some of the driver makers chose to distribute Replicant. Open source is friendlier for gradual adoption of openness, and that can make the process a lot simpler. It also allows users to have mixed stacks which adds a whole new set of people that can contribute code.

It's not a private company's job to have empathy for the people affected by progress. Don't get me wrong, I have plenty of empathy. But petitioning private companies to change their ways will get you exactly nowhere unless it comes with a corresponding profit motive.

As Gap Struggles, Its Analytical CEO Prizes Data Over Design
The Left in America is hardly left of anyone. What you should be calling the modern Democratic party is neoliberal because their policies reflect this ideology perfectly. And there's plenty to criticize on neoliberalism but when it comes to civil rights that's not one of them. Plus, what hurts white men isn't social but rather economic which is the principle issue I have with Democrats who've ignored the economy (it was Democrats who held Obama's stimulus hostage and not the Republicans as they already voiced their opposition). So until the Democrats cleans out the neoliberal garbage I expect them to keep crowing about id politics without regard to the larger econ politics which affects us all.

One other thing I'd add is that I also remembering struggling as a student to pay for compilers and other development tools.

There's very little that makes me as sad as seeing extremist behaviour become the norm on both sides of the aisle. Seeing people not listen to each other and fighting empty devils.

I first saw it with gamergate a while back. As someone very close to the games industry, and in games media back then, I was very interested by the movement (which, at the time anyway, wanted to put a spotlight on corruption in games media)... then after it did some good, it turned into a "hunt all the SJWs" parody of itself and very much became an example of what the alt-right is today.

What happened there was simply people not listening... and instead of listening, sharing whatever story fell in line with the narrative. Twitter makes it easy to block dissenting opinions. Reddit naturally silences disagreement with downvotes. Facebook just natively doesn't show you the stuff you don't like. Social media is a fucking scourge, I swear.

As the movement becomes more and more extreme, it attracts more and more extreme people and the moderates naturally leave (or convert), as they have no way to fight the trend back on a platform that amplifies the majority.

And of course both "sides" in a fight become involved in a cherry-picking fight of who can find the worst of the other's community and showcase it as proof of how relentlessly EVIL the "other side" is. Because, you know, everybody's like that, right?

It's fucking impossible to be a moderate nowadays. This is probably the main reason why I enjoy commenting on HN, where discussion is possible (probably because of details such as upvote counts not showing and a really nice sorting algorithm). Though it has its own issues with community flagging - Take this post for example: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12977633 (A moderate article that looked at issues on the left, flagged out despite 100+ upvotes)

I don't know if understanding is the right word to use.

Over time the ants have acquired a series of triggers and actions that have (apparently) made them more fit to survive.

They don't necessarily understand that for example that planting and fertilizing seeds will yield a safe place to live, they are just driven to take those actions when they encounter whatever trigger those seeds activate in them.

For example when an ant dies it puts off oleic acid and when others pick up on this scent they cart if off to a "burial" site.

However the ants don't understand death. If you coat a live ant with oleic acid the ants will carry it off even as it resists and tries to clean itself and dump it in the dead pile.

Collective intelligence is a strange concept to work with because the ant isn't really the animal, the animal is the colony.

Even still I don't know that the colony "understands" what is happening, it just feels a collective drive to take the actions.
Apologies, that was a mistake on my part when I submitted.

Still, good to know REI is doing well as I do like that overpriced store. But I also wonder how important it is for people to talk about Amazon. At this point they may very well be so ubiquitous that people know to go there.
On one hand you have increasing immigration increasing the supply of labour. On the other hand, you have increasing automation reducing the demand for labour. And in the pinched middle you have falling wages. This cannot end well.

I don't know which is the most dangerous scenario: the working classes taking it out on immigrants, or the working classes making common cause with immigrant labour against a Victorian economy of squalor, ill-health and poverty (which is good, but dangerous it had to get to this point) and turning revolutionary. The latter is a failure of politics.
I'm just going to cut right through this from the start.

Unlike most of my tech friends, I actually have tried to reconnect outside our privileged circles (and if you don't think that's what they are, you're kidding yourself). And you know what I found? A lot of echoes of the personal past.

Lets face it. A lot of techies — engineers specifically — are who they are because they were socially rejected in younger years. And you know what? When you try to reconnect with normal people, you will find that the whole popularity complex never really ended. The difference now is that you are economically on-top with all the abuses that that tempts.

Are you prepared to be othered and ostracized again? Because that's what's going to likely to happen. But I think you will find that the ordinary people have dignity too, and that there is validity to many other paths that don't go through the worldview of science and technology. And yes, it will lend credence to those "feels" things, like the Facebook timeline disaster mentioned in the article.

Just don't expect any fairness or warm, loving reconciliation is all I'm saying. This isn't some feel-good Hollywood movie. Don't expect as the hippies say that we are all one people, veda-this, spirituality that, blah blah blah, because we are quite frankly not.

But that doesn't diminish the importance of bridging the empathy gap, especially if you want to design and build things for other people, including yourselves.

Very interesting. Bookmarks solve a particular problem of finding information that was already visited. A more general problem is a designing a personal knowledge base. There are lot of hints in this page about PKB and some of them can be applied to bookmarking as well

I created a personal curation system - Hyperbook, http://getbook.co . It arose out of the need to store reference materials while writing my thesis.

"Really? You must live some place special where no crime occurs in such venues."

Transgender people like me (those of us who can't pass for jack squat even if we had our own platoon of makeup artists) are targeted on a regular basis when we use public restrooms and changing rooms.

As for the Alt Right, their ideologies are old as hell and quite frankly idiotic. It's like debating orthodox Marxist-Leninists. They just trot out the same old arguments without regard to the history of their implementation (and failure). So, until the Alt Right comes up with something fresh (i.e. not a mere criticism of liberalism which every has done since the ideology sprang up) I'm not going to entertain their nonsense either.

"For every woke dude, there are 10 burned out feminists."

I don't know who said this, but it's true for many things.

Ten or hundred people telling someone they're wrong, isn't enough to change what year long indoctrination has done.

Even if you think "I talked to thousands of racists in my life and I just don't want to waste my time to change their minds" you should still do it, because it has an effect, just not for all of the thousand people you talked to.
I don't see how the things he discusses have to do with empathy in Silicon Valley. Driverless trucks, for instance, have nothing to do with empathy and a lot to do with simple economics. Someone is going to build them if they can make a buck doing it, and empathy isn't going to somehow stop that.

On the other hand, I do think companies like Facebook and Google and the news sites (or whoever makes their comment systems) can do a lot about "the impact of their algorithms and their ability to shape popular sentiment in our society," as he alludes to in the article but fails to explore in any depth.

What if there were simply richer tools for users to rate things? For instance, to tag a post as "+1 nuanced" or "-3 overly divisive" or "-2 unsupported by evidence" or "-3 inappropriately political" or "-5 bigoted", and then have algorithms (and user interfaces) that deal with this additional information in ways that actually are effective while also being careful not to discourage those who don't like getting downvoted? (e.g. only show downvotes to users a month after they appear so the user is less likely to emotionally respond, but still gets feedback as to why their microphone is getting the volume turned down)

Then of course give users tools to control what they see....e.g. hide (or suppress) divisive political content, etc.

There are any number of things that can be done to tone down the hateful divisive rhetoric that pervades online social spaces, and lets the insightful, nuanced content float to the top. Is anyone doing this? Are they even experimenting with it? Are they so scared that users will run away if there are too many options? (you know, you can always put them behind a "show all ratings options" setting that by default is off)

This isn't censorship, this is just putting into place things that have in place in the real world for millennia, but that disappear in naive approaches to bringing conversations online. It won't be perfect initially, but it can at least be a lot better.
Is anyone familiar enough with this game to write up a quick TLDR? I can tell that it's an MMO in progress, and that it's space-based, and I'm guessing from the name that you probably build autonomous self-replicating probes... but that's as far as I got from skimming the newsletters.
The big problem with C is the memory safety issues. It is extremely difficult to write C code and be safe from malicious input. If you use a memory safe language these difficult issues are erased.

I realise the compiler/runtime can't stop all bugs but fixing these simple errors goes a long way to producing robust secure software.
Maybe I don't hang in the right circles, but has anyone done a serious look for number words? I can't imagine that document would be void of quantities, especially in the recipes section.

Counting and enumeration systems can reveal a lot about where something is from.
Right on. Silicon Valley may have an empathy vacuum/problem, but let's place the blame for this problem where it really lies: government policy makers. They are the ones that have watched globalization gut the middle class, while sitting back and collecting their fat stock grants and salaries for sitting on the board of the companies that are the beneficiaries of these policies.

We need universal basic income to soften the impact of the rise of automation in the workforce. The problem is that the same people influencing government to write policies that are clearly against the middle class also control the media, and they seem to have just convinced a majority of US voters to vote for a government that will create more income inequality by cutting taxes for the wealthy.

In a masterful stroke, now the policy makers pulling the strings are using the media to blame silicon valley for creating these problems. As if Facebook's news feed is the sole cause of the decimation of the middle class that has been happening for about 40 years now...
