How can this be applied to internet forums?

In the early/ier days of HN, one response to an unsubstantiated comment was "Can you elaborate?", which shows interest, respect, and gives guidance - instead of a blind downvote (numerically negative feedback).
If the goal of the parent is "get child to grandmas, so I can go to work to continue to take care of this child", while the child's goal is "I want to continue to watch cartoons in this very spot and not move, and I'll have a tantrum if I am told to move due to poor impulse/emotional controls in my under-developed brain, unless I am 'tricked'", then who's goals are more important? If the child resents such a "trick" later in life, then the child is still showing traits of emotional immaturity, and a lack of understanding on how the world operates.

Also don't put honesty on too high a pedestal. Being honest about every single thing can have very damaging effects and negative consequences. Having no social tact so you can ride an honesty high horse is not necessarily superior to little white lies and/or trickery.
If some tips work and some tips don't, then nurture matters, but it is correlated to nature.

If nurture didn't matter, tips would be totally irrelevant.
How could it possibly patch bugs without phoning home? Are you claiming that it is self modifying code?
I looked into Sendy for quite a while but I like EmailOctopus' tech stack (and dev speed) better. My personal opinion only of course.
Similar to what I've been reading about in a book about democracy. Rules that are regarded as legitimate barely require enforcement, people will follow them of their own volition. Rules that don't have legitimacy are actively resisted.

Great article. Would be an interesting discussion to have with a developer canididate during an interview.
I wonder how long this is actually going to last? A few months from now and I suspect there will be an entirely different view from the new administration.
When they don't provide a method for their user to audit and/or disable telemetry? Yes, I'd prefer them to be blind. I don't expect that this would be a particularly popular position, and that if I kept it as a strict requirement for software I use, it would make it essentially impossible for me to find options in whole classes of software.
There's nothing wrong with a kitchen sink course. Mostly likely the in-depth deep learning classes have their own course.

The reason why it is not is that the assumptions you have to make about valuations in order for the one dollar investment to translate to the company actually being worth one billion do not hold. You have to assume that the investor is a rational actor, is capable of correctly evaluating a company's value, and is making the investment because they believe the company is worth one billion dollars.

There is no reason to believe any of these things. Lots of people who satisfy none of these requirements have a dollar to waste. They could be investing as a joke, they could be trying to pump up the value of the company for some other reason, or they could be incompetent at evaluating a companies worth. Just because a person is willing and able to throw a dollar away doesn't mean you can find people to throw a billion dollars away.

As another poster said, you don't run one card 1000 times. You run 100 cards 10 times and achieve almost the same probability of guessing one without burning the card.

On another note, I wish they'd get rid of the number + exp + cvv. Quit concatenating more codes and just go to an alpha numeric model. You could have fewer digits and a bigger probability space. Even when you remove certain letters that sound alike.
Like myself. Thanks, 'pronoiac!

EDIT:

I started thinking why do I pretty much always check HN comments first. Besides the obvious "HN comments often far outclass the original link", I came up with another reason - when I open HN, I usually skim the frontpage while quickly firing up comments for each interesting submission in a separate tab. Opening comment threads instead of submission links ensure that each new tab is a lightweight bookmark, with predictable loading time, close to zero resource consumption, and no bullshit like autoplaying video ads.

I agree that it's stuck in ye 100 old way of doing things. New things are tried out constantly though. Scripties are on tablets these days with fancy tools and everything. DIT, new cutting-edge cameras and tools are first introduced here. Trouble is with screenplays still.

Screenplay is a tool, a blueprint that serves various departments throughout pre-production, production and post-production. That blueprint is also in flux as others are using it. I guess, well I believe one could modernise the whole screenplay pipeline. Trouble is you would have to make a significant advance in order for people to start using it. Every dept. except acting/blocking could start using new system(s) right away. Acting and blocking would still prefer paper.

Take into consideration that it's easy to criticise a system as an outsider. You would have to witness first-hand an organised chaos that film and/or TV production is in order to appreciate every single idiosyncrasy (at a first glance) that makes it all work.

Prime example are cameras. Usually people (who are for the first time on a set) ask about camera. Why this camera, why not that, etc. It works and doesn't stop the production train. If you can avoid slowing down anything on set (or before or after) and THEN introduce significant benefits, people will listen and welcome you immediately. This is an industry that takes in new technologies all the time, no hesitation. Provided they bring significant boost to productivity.
Interesting project - I wonder if this uses the 6502 core from Visual6502.

The price point might be tough for people. I think you can buy original NES systems for less. They aren't going to be HDMI compatible, but I think those adapters will run you $20 on Amazon.
You assume that things would remain as they are, only betterer, if you redrew these divisions. That is incredibly unlikely.

Some people intentionally live in one state and work in another for various reasons, or live in one city and work in another. Part of the appeal is often differences rooted in laws and regulations, etc.
I just now learned about this DB and was intrigued but havent researched much about the cons yet, so I am curious to hear your thoughts about the file size?
We have been using it in an Ember app and it was very easy to setup. There is an Ember Data adapter that works well.

Main advantage is to have an app that works offline and all sync happening under the hood.

If you are going to give a try, highly recommend watching Nolan Lawson's videos in YouTube.
Computed views.
Ideally, at that point the child is smart enough that you can reason with them, and at that point your "tricks" (aka civilized behavior) has made enough of a molding effect on their personality and relationship with you.
Flat affect, a lack of empathy, superficial relationships, and low autonomic arousal. You are a positive match for several diagnostic markers used in Hare's psychopathy checklist. Of course, this is not a professional diagnosis and it is not definitive, but you should consider seeking help for your condition. It could help you to understand and adjust to the world around you.
I couldn't read more than a paragraph of this article it's so ridiculous. The idea that positive reinforcement is a radical idea? Ridiculous. The idea that you can ignore destructive behaviour until it goes away? Ridiculous.

It's about addressing the situation. As a parent the best thing is when I get to positively reinforce my child's behaviour, because it means I've seen them do something wonderful. (Helping a sibling, taking initiative, etc.) But if I didn't stop them when they are throwing toys at their little brother or sister then we've got bigger problems.
The point of the example was merely to rebut the idea that a parent's prerogative to choose destination doesn't mean there's no transgression. Finding some way that it differs from the parent-child relationship isn't relevant unless you explain why the asymmetry would imply there was no transgression.
like i have said i do not believe this is what happened. But like you said it is noteworthy that the result appears to be similar. However, i also think it can be beneficial to disclose such programs in order to make use of the results of such programs in courts easier for example. It might also be easier to finance such programs when they are publicly known.
wait, and try again later. kids don't hold grudges forever.
That's sort of the FCC's fault; it's very hard to get a high-bandwidth device certified under FCC regs (e.g. part 15) if it doesn't have a locked-down processor that controls radio functionality. See this article about the FCC intentionally/unintentionally locking down Wifi routers due to licensing requirements: https://www.wired.com/2016/03/way-go-fcc-now-manufacturers-l...

I'm sure if it were up to apple they'd be putting high-level radio functionality in the main CPU. It's cheaper that way, and matches with Apple's security/privacy-oriented marketing.
Which is, of course, the same way `this` or `self` works in virtually every OO language.

I honestly thought this was common knowledge, and not that hard to grasp. How else is `this` being taught?

Obviously fingerprints can't be used in that situation, buy think about something like your front door lock. You don't need paranoia-level security (you probably have breakable windows anyway) but you want to stop random people who aren't motivated enough to steal your fingerprint from walking in.

Or think about locking your phone. Most people only want to stop their friends and family - they're not going to copy you fingerprint. Even FBI nearly defeated by TouchID. (You're probably thinking that they could have easily bypassed it, but they only had 48 hours to do so.)
> Let’s say you have an adolescent daughter and she says to you, “Mom, you are such a bitch. What have you ever done for me? You only think of yourself.”

Maybe it's because I grew up as a kid in another culture (Eastern Europe) and some time ago (I'm 36 now) but do kids nowadays really call their parents "bitch"? My parents almost never laid their hands on me (the couple of times they actually did I had deserved it) but, nevertheless, it would have been out-of-this-world for me or for any other kid to call their parents names like these. It reminds me of this Eddie Murphy sketch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldUbxfOtjqw .
> It talks about "top research institutions" are in Europe, neglecting the #1,#2,#4,#5, and #6 in the world are in the USA. [1]

If you don't count any German research institutions, and only count those releasing their results in US magazines.

Sure.

If I don't count for-profit universities, and only those releasing their results in Esperanto, I can also top my own ranking.

Those rankings completely ignore that in Europe, research doesn't happen at universities - but at research groups where multiple universities come together.

Think of the Max Planck Society (Wendelstein 7-X Fusion Experiment), or the Fraunhofer Society (they brought you mp3), or the Helmholtz Society (globally leading in Marine Research).

But all that is disqualified from the rankings.

A first lesson in meta-rationality
We are also firmly on the positive reinforcement / attachment parenting camp. It does work wonders.

That being said, especially with kids older than ~3, we believe some form of negative consequences for bad behaviour are necessary. Especially if they e.g. push or hit another child. And I don't mean using physical punishment, more like "I'm taking this toy away from you now". The important thing is that the child is old enough to understand what they're doing is wrong, and that the consequence is relatively immediate.

Also, being angry is an emotion kids need to learn about. This means (IMO) it's OK for a parent to be visibly angry sometimes, as long as you are able to remain a good role model while angry. I.e. yelling at / insulting someone, hitting someone etc. is very much out of the picture. But yelling into the air "Aargh I'm so angry!!!" and then being able to cool down and acknowledge afterwards why you were angry is likely good for a child to see. Again, assuming that the child is old enough to understand, and that you discuss/explain it afterwards.
I will never buy anything branded with Dell, be it a laptop, monitor or even a mouse.
It's impossible, unless all states subject to the redrawing would accept it.

And yet, it's happened before, and will happen again.
The situation is not remotely like the scenario you are concerned about. We (the e-commerce industry collectively) have a history of making many of the same basic security mistakes repeatedly, even though both the mistakes and the ways to avoid them are well-documented (SQL injection is a classic example, as is the use of easily-guessable secrets.) In my opinion (the source of which is me) the industry should be held accountable for its complacency and, yes, lapses in competence. Of course, being criticized by me in an HN comment is hardly being held accountable.

Developers built great software just fine without constant data spying.... on the other hand all that great "important" data collection somehow doesn't assist in making modern Electron apps any less of a CPU, battery and RAM hogging arse of a software.

Most of analytics data never gets looked at and never provides any useful insight because it's setup poorly.
Alfie Kohn's book is about bribes being a bad strategy, not quite about punishment being a bad strategy.

The two are related, though. The article here is explaining how meaningful, relationship-building positive-reinforcement is an effective strategy.

Alfie Kohn's work is easy to misinterpret -- the title of his book mentions "gold stars" as a bad idea, but misses the meaning of a gold star. A gold star isn't a bribe in the sense of an "incentive program", it's a tangible expression of appreciation* -- which is what the article here argeus in favor of.

*as long as the star is its own reward, not some sort of currency used to buy rewards.
Well, there were actual problems preventing people from creating companies.

Such as the 10'000€ minimum assets that were required for an Ltd. in Germany until a few years ago. (The problem was basically: How do you handle a company going bankrupt? The legislators said that any company should always have enough assets to cover its liabilities. Obviously not compatible with the snowball-scheme based startup scene).

The AI community is the source of false information. They will never tell you that AI is fundamentally impossible because a machine cannot think; it can only do as its told by its programmer. That is the bottom line.

The problem is:

There is a market for it because the average Joe and Jane are pretty lazy and would rather touch something to unlock it than having to go through the hassle of typing and remembering (forgetting) a password. They probably don't understand the secrutiy implications of it either.
Absolutely, I am not suggesting a defeatist posture. Rather, just design around the problem because that is what folks here can do. Those are the only actionable items I envision folks at HN contributing to. That said, I could incorrectly assuming that most here are technical in nature.

In my experience there just aren't enough people that care to actually do anything more than debate issues. Debate is a great way to think through problems and try to get the facts. Until these facts cost businesses a lot of money or put excessive burden on the courts, I just don't see this changing is all I am saying. If anything, this helps feed the self feeding system, so there just isn't any incentive for those in power to change deviate from business as usual.

In a morbid sense, I am actually curious to see how this plays out. They (the feds) may be opening a can of worms that is bigger than they imagine, as this may have other potentially complex legal ramifications that folks just didn't really think through.

Hmm, not really. First of all, unplugging my laptop's 256gb hard drive and plugging it into another laptop, in ten seconds, would be equal to 25.6 gb/sec, or 0.0000256 petabytes per second. Even if you're doing the swap with desktop computers that are right next to each other, the largest hard drive [0] you can buy, and really fast switching, you would get a transfer rate of 0.003 petabytes/second. The US currently consumes an absolutely enormous amount of data, more than 23 exabytes/month [1]. (I looked up these numbers mostly because I was curious, and I gotta say 23 exabytes a month surprised me.)

Secondly, the power that the human body can store in just a few minutes is pretty cool. You can think of a person who eats 2300 calories a day as a 2700 watt-hour battery. Such a battery would be pretty powerful: it holds the equivalent of roughly 300 smartphone charges. You can "charge" the human body in just a few minutes of eating calorie-dense food like nuts or peanut butter or fatty food. But to charge a 2700 watt-hour battery, comparable to the human body, you'd need to draw the maximum power you could (from a wall in a house with standard wiring) - for about two hours.

Sure, I agree that the human body isn't really consuming the power until it gets fully digested. But the reality is that if I'm in a rush, I can wolf down an apple+190g peanut butter and be done 4 minutes later with 1200 calories in my body. Which is pretty useful in real life, at least for me. If my body instead "charged" from a wall outlet (which can usually deliver a lot of power, 1440W or so continuously) it would take an hour to provide me with 1200 calories. Sure, people often do eat slowly. But there have been many times in my life when there's not enough time for whatever reason, and taking an hour to eat a meal would be unacceptable. And it's times like that when I really appreciate that I can eat something fast, and "charge" my body at the rate of tens of kilowatts.

Yes, developers should have to put some thought into designing their own products. If they're curious how their product is being used, they should do the footwork and ask, and open channels for voluntary feedback. They can collect data with permission. End users' control over their own data is more important than making it easier for developers.
As an American who recently moved to London, I agree with this. The salaries here are shockingly lower, especially considering how expensive London cost of living is. I wound up just working remotely for a SF firm, which I realize is a luxury thanks to my US passport.
Why Does Business Put Agile in a Cubby?
I don't see it mentioned in the text, but essentially the best-known data structure for representing large amounts of random-location-editable text is called the Rope. It's based on my favorite data structure, the Finger Tree, which has very impressive asymptotic performance characteristics over a huge range of intuitively (but not actually) expensive operations.

It doesn't require you to break the text up into lines and hope for short lines or anything; you can insert, split, cut, paste, delete, whatever, with at worst O(log(n)) for "expensive" operations (like beginning to edit at a random point in the text, or cutting/pasting a huge chunk of text) and O(1) for "cheap" operations (like insertion/deletion of a character after you've started editing).

It's based on a finger tree containing densely packed byte or UTF arrays (strictly speaking, this isn't necessary, but gives an appreciable constant time/memory speedup), and tree nodes are tagged with the length of all text underneath them. Here's an implementation specialized to byte arrays (not UTF-8). https://hackage.haskell.org/package/rope
> One of the key elements of it, especially when using it on people, is accepting that the subject is likely to execute the behavior badly for the first few iterations, but you have to positively reinforce it just the same as if they'd done it perfectly if you want them to get better.

(Good) parents all do this all the time. I think it goes as far as being instinct. E.g. the first time your child uses a spoon by himself, there's going to be porridge all over him, table, chair and floor, with a comparably minute amount going into his mouth. But you still smile, applaud and praise him.

It really depends on your definition of ethical. Volkswagen is unarguably unethical (or at least has been unethical) and profited hugely because of it. Nestle wants to have a monopoly on water.
