It's surreal, the reality of the situation is blatantly obvious, yet anyone in any sort of an official position that is privy to the facts would be well advised to keep their mouth shut if they'd like to keep their job. And simultaneously, most people simply can't fathom why "Trump supporters" tend to believe their government is not being truthful with citizens.

Sure; I signed the pledge. I've asked about companies' privacy policies, data retention and security policies during the course of interviewing. I've told recruiters the reason I am not interested in a company is because of their approach to privacy. I've discussed the implications of data collection and data management with colleagues at companies that collect lots of it.

At the last company I worked at I promoted the use of HTTPS everywhere, when we had more pressing feature work to do. I shamed someone who shared around that a famous customer had signed up, and made it clear internally that we shouldn't be looking at or commenting on that data. I gave company-wide talks on security, phishing, the implications of storing our data in Slack, and realistic and unrealistic security threats.

Not the next coming of Claus von Stauffenberg but I don't think everyone needs to be; just conscious of the choices they make and the consequences.

Original full comment that I was replying to before the substantial edit by CamperBob2: Well, it is called "Hacker News," after all.

That's true. But it is not called "American Hacker News." I do try to post international tech news when I can find a good article on the subject. They tend to get not anywhere near as much attention as American subjects.

Please don't try to justify this to me. The number three guy on the leaderboard is Dutch. The number four guy is Australian and lives in Great Britain. The number two guy is an American living in Japan. (And I think the current lead mod is Canadian in origin and Paul Graham himself is an immigrant from England.)

Programming does not only happen in the U.S. There is absolutely no justification whatsoever for the degree of bias on this forum in terms of what people are willing to read and discuss.

This is a really fatalistic and deterministic argument. The tragedy of the Holocaust is that so many people went along with it. In many other scenarios around the world people haven't gone along with unethical requests and things stopped far short of there.

People have agency. The whole point of the pledge is to make people aware that their colleagues aren't going along, and maybe send a signal to management about what employees will and won't accept. Hopefully others who haven't signed the pledge will have a clearer idea about what their colleagues think is unethical.
The first frame is usually not considered a frame as no animation comes from it - but starts from it. So the second frame is actually the first frame of animation. So if you want 100 frames of animation - you need 101 frames. Therefore your first frame is really "0" and you start counting (moving) from there.

This is the first time I've heard of ODD. To be honest it seems almost comical that defiance of authority has its own medical diagnosis as a disorder.

Would you mind expanding on this a bit? The first thing that comes to mind:

struct Foo {
foo: Foo,
}

Is caught by the compiler:

| ^ recursive type has infinite size
|
= help: insert indirection (e.g., a `Box`, `Rc`, or `&`) at some point to make `Foo` representable

Obviously, I'm not thinking deep enough to understand the approaches you are mentioning!
I like DoorDash and I hoped that they would end up winning in this space but it seems unlikely when their two competitors have other things that the supply side (delivery people) can do if food deliveries aren't needed. Amazon is likely re-using prime instant delivery and Uber is transparently using their drivers to deliver food.

It's kind of like competing with Amazon or Google for cloud infrastructure. Very few companies need all of those machines or that tech, they have no use for it other than renting to people. Amazon and Google on the other hand already needed that tech. They are essentially renting their own excess.

Pretty much. The review process seems to be about the same across most journals. In fact, there's probably a niche for some journals that have an actual editorial process where an editor actually...edits the prose.

Nature/Science/Cell are popular because everyone recognizes their "brand" and associates them with interesting, high-impact science. Thus, it's easy for anyone "Hey, we should fund/hire her because she's got a bunch of Nature papers!" It's not miles from the old "Nobody got fired for buying IBM" bit.

In contrast, it's unlikely that one person--let alone more-on the committee has carefully read your J. Soc. Whatever paper and says "This is well done! Get him instead!"

Would the psyche be better modeled as a complex system, then? Where mental health isn't an equilibrium but almost an "accident", where everything has to be in alignment?

The idea of "decompensation" seems to support psyche-as-a-complex-system theory.

Still I don't think that that invalidates Whitaker's point, since pills or other external treatments only add yet another subelement to the psyche "system", rather than fixing those subelements or making the relationships between subelements more functional. Pills only make the system more complex, and compensate for the dysfunction in other subelements of the system, rather than fixing anything at all.
They advertise Bay Area as one of the regions they deliver, yet it's not available in the South Bay. I wonder what's the logistics overhead to make it available elsewhere in the Bay Area where you already have a Prime Now delivery network.

Such a wealth tax existed in Nordic countries in the late 20th century, at least.

Wealth taxes in Sweden and Finland were eliminated around 2005 because capital gains tax was considered more equitable to various wealth classes and more easily administrated. The wealth tax laws had become a nest of loopholes that brought in relatively little income in the end.

It would be interesting to see a new wealth tax designed for the digital era.

Is it such a bad thing for society if a business fails when transparency is added to how they conduct their business? Yelp reviews are also intregal to the success of a restaurant and similar complaints are lobbed at them for destroying revenue at small companies. Have you ever gone to a restaurant that is poorly ranked on yelp? I have. They tend to deserve the poor ratings.

This is a valuable service to the consumer and good restaurants will thrive while bad ones will fail.

Also, any halfway decent owner/marketer knows you need to capture email addresses for people you want to sell to. Never rely on social media alone. Just use it to get them to give you an email.
This is really just a news headline that really doesn't matter, or make any difference in the real world, who cares? the media just wants to make things seem bad so they can get some attention then on the back of that bad attention someone seeing an opportunity to save some money. Pathetic.
I intentionally shut out a restaurant that didn't have online ordering. I like their food, one sandwich in particular was a favorite, but they had a nearby competitor I liked just as much that DID have online ordering.

I'm hard-of-hearing, so online ordering is a godsend compared to the old days of calling up a fast speaking, often accented person with terrible background noise. So if the choice is between calling one restaurant, or ordering online from a different restaurant, I will always pick the online ordering.

The restaurant without online ordering eventually closed, despite the fact the neighborhood has really boomed, and I'm sure no small part of it is because of their refusal to do online ordering.
4. It became much easier and more fashionable for people in middle America to acquire and use opiates and methamphetamine.

5. We've had a slow collapse in the markets for routine manual labor, which were the backbone of small/mid-market middle America, which drew people into the cities set up a vicious cycle of depopulation and market decline in middle America.

Maybe some of the linked research decouples the suicide rate from these phenomenon, but I don't see enough meat in this article to make the case that psychiatric medication is the likeliest cause.

Yes I'm serious. (*EDIT: obviously I'm not serious that we should jail people for engaging in capitalism, or take away everyone's money, that is sarcasm.) If we were to take away people's money and put them in prison to teach them a lesson about "engaging in capitalism", they can serve their term; then they can go on Hacker News, open a blog, announce a new project, raise funds for it, and become rich. This is almost literally the process by which huge, vast swathes of inequity are created. Mark Cuban's parents immigrated from Russia with the name Chabenisky. Sergei Brin is literally a Soviet-born engineer. How do you stop him from accumulating his current net worth of $39.2 billion -- which literally means he has $5.00 for every man, woman, and child on Earth, of any age, anywhere. That is inequality in action. It's dynastic inequality. How do you stop it? Shut down the Internet?

It's not possible to operate an online business (any business?) without being dependent on a platform. There is no scenario under which you can build anything that functions as a serious revenue generating business without being in that position.

Search discovery: Google, Bing

Social promotion: FB, Snap, Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, etc

App & software stores: Apple, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Steam

General commerce: Transaction networks, Paypal, banks, etc

Online commerce: eBay, Amazon, Etsy, Craigslist, Zillow, Priceline, Airbnb, Alibaba, hundreds more

There's nothing new about this. All businesses utilize platforms they don't control. There are no exceptions.

Radio, TV, newspapers, mail catalogs were discovery and promotion before Google search was. The dependency was just as high.

Want to open a hotdog stand or a gas station? The absolute minimum platform you'll be dependent on will be local political system/s in dozens of ways (infrastructure, zoning, health laws, employment regulations, and on and on).

Fair points. I still find it hard to imagine they would use fuzzy profiling from social media though - if they want to cast a wide net like that, they could just use country of origin - which is (one of) Trump's stated position(s), to shut down/more heavily regulate immigration from particular countries, rather than trying to go on a case by case basis. And they would avoid the bad PR that would come out of people getting to act on this pledge and other things like it.
So Amazon now has 5 services to order food from: Prime Now, Prime Pantry, Amazon Fresh, Amazon Restaurants, and regular Amazon. Did I miss anything?

Wouldn't the value of education oriented languages be that educators can avoid specific complexities that get in way the of teaching core concepts?

Once a student has core concepts, then they have something they can build on with other languages that have more issues (potentially complex) stemming from practical problems. This prevents needing to learn two complex things at the same time.

Does pyret have easier to understand errors around syntax and typographical errors than Python? Most real languages won't search for similar identifiers to one that is misspelled and make suggestions, does pyret do anything like this (Other teaching tools do)?

What's the point? It's about understanding the universe! If the ether exists then it could mean an open-system exists in the universe, i.e. the big bang is still happening, -- or the laws of thermodynamics, i.e. entropy, are not set in stone because structure can be created with an open-system, -- or even general laws of physics: free energy because an open-system exists.

The implications are phenomenal, -- we could be in the presence of something HUGE, -- but people seem to rather "know for a fact" that we live in an empty vacuum devoid of anything but relics of a big bang.

Interesting when companies have different names in different countries. It's called Delivery Hero in Australia. I suspect it's a UK based company which eventually got large enough to buy a similar AU based company and just kept the name in order to maintain an already established brand.

Unilever has like 8 different ice cream brands in different countries all sharing the same logo and mostly selling the same products.
Every time I see a project pop up touted as being simple and a good "teaching language", it has some weirdness or pet features thrown in that turns enough people off to keep adoption low.

If you want a good teaching language which will receive substantial adoption, do this:

* syntax-wise, use curlies and semicolons like C, Java, Perl, JS, etc.

* use many of the good function names that Perl uses.

* have all variables be refs to objects, like Python does.

* use nice normal lexical scoping like Scheme et al

* this shouldn't have to be mentioned, but provide data literals for lists, maps, and sets

* keep it small, and written in C, like Lua.

* resist the temptation to complicate things by adding this really amazing advanced feature that it's just got to have to distinguish itself.

* plan for it to become used for general purpose programming, as it very likely will.

And some "don'ts":

* don't worry about performance, that can come later

* don't worry about lack of libs --- your implementation is in C, and you should get good ffi down the road. And with the substantial adoption you'll see, libs will come later anyway.

* don't have it be on the JVM, LLVM, or any other existing VM. Keep it simple. Even an interpreter is fine for now.

That's it. That's all you need to do for amazing success in a teaching language that will also see serious adoption.

That said, no one does this. Presumably because if you're skilled enough to implement it, you have some neat but obscure features you'd like to add, or a unique syntax you'd prefer, which ... turns users off and keeps adoption low.

> Zero is actually always a special case in math, specially in algebra, the only number where division by it is not defined.

And what does any of this have to do with division?

> Actually, by Von Neumann definition of ordinals, ordinal 0 represents an empty set, thus it's equivalent of null, not single element set. So strictly mathematically speaking for non-empty sets we should use ordinals starting at 1.

So, strictly mathematically speaking, we should use "2 apples" to describe an apple within another apple, where both of those apples also contain nothing?

I'm sorry, but this just makes no sense whatsoever. What relevance does von Neumann's construction of the natural numbers have to this question? Especially so, given that the empty set, aka "0", is the first(!) von Neumann ordinal. We should use 1-based ordinals because von Neumann constructed 0-based ordinals, maybe?

> But using zero-based indices is just a matter of convention, so lets not make a big philosophy out of it...

No, it's not. You yourself stated that the algebraic/arithmetic behaviour of 0 is quite different from that of 1, so how do you suddenly come to the conclusion that it's merely a matter of convention?

Yes, I've always thought it's odd how people tend to focus their ire on high-earning professionals like doctors, lawyers, consultants, etc. while ignoring the trust fund kid worth 200 million dollars. I'm guessing it's because most of us have never met someone worth that much money.

Really, it's the top 0.1% I'm concerned about. Most of the top 1% are basically upper middle class people who've met with significant professional success, and the only part of the middle class that done well the past two decades (and good for them).

Inequality of outcome (wealth/income/etc) is less of an issue than inequality of opportunity. if we make the statement "anyone can make a business and become rich" true (assume as axiomatically true; the quoted statement becomes literally true), then it will literally increase inequality: perhaps anyone can do it, but not everyone will.

so inequality is a bad metric. If you start trying to tackle a bad metric, you will not do well.

Nearly everyone you know has less than 1/10,000th the wealth that Sergei Brin does. I am stating it is a problem if you or anyone else has any problem with this state of affairs. And if you allow less dramatic examples than Sergei Brin, you will find thousands of people starting businesses and thereby increasing inequality.

equality of outcome is not a noble or worthwhile goal.
