Well, as someone over 40 let me suggest a perhaps controversial take on this type of post: by the time you reach a certain age you should have found a place in life that doesn't involve "looking for a job" or "getting hired". The biggest problem with people at that age isn't that they aren't curious, creative, willing to work long hours, etc but rather that life hasn't worked out for them somehow and they need to apply for jobs. It's basically the same problem as trying to find a date to the prom when you are a teenager. Most people do it naturally and easily so if you are the last person in that game of musical chairs looking for a date, you should ponder seriously why nobody asked YOU yet. Likewise with jobs. If you have 20 years of perl programming experience and 10 certifications in various databases and suchlike, then why exactly aren't you an equity stakeholder in some successful business by now? Short answer: you aren't very good at the game we are all playing. Hence, I am passing on this hire.

You're confusing the distribution of money with the supply of money. The distribution of money affects economic priorities. The supply of money (as total income per unit time) affects the overall inflation. While the priorities of an economy will certainly affect prices, it's that some prices will go up and others go down.

Disney/Lucasfilm signed an agreement with the estate of Peter Cushing. In the case of Crispin Glover, they used his likeness without his consent, which prompted him to sue and win.
It's fascinating that so many of you saw it as obviously fake. Going into the film without having even seen a trailer, I was so confused. I couldn't tell if that was an excellent recast or CGI. Only something about his eyes seemed a bit off. Other than that, I'd say it was the best CGI human I have ever seen. So good, in fact, that I quickly forgot about it.

"The naïve faith of the proletarian is the faith of the man of action. Rationality belongs to the cool observers. There is of course an element of illusion in the faith of the proletarian, as there is in all faith. But it is a necessary illusion, without which some truth is obscured. The inertia of society is so stubborn that no one will move against it, if he cannot believe that it can be more easily overcome than is actually the case." -- Reinhold Niebuhr

I think that's because on most Linux-like systems, the distribution's built in package manager fills this role sufficiently. It's hardly perfect, but for many popular libraries you can just install the -dev package or equivalent, then include the headers from the system path and code away.

I wouldn't mind a more dedicated tool though, especially because relying on distribution-specific packages tends to make cross platform support messy (see: heavy reliance on automake tools to correct for platform differences) and because most distributions only include the most popular, widely used libraries, and don't try to support newer or more niche tools.

My experience working with 700 startups is the opposite. Founders who lead with an essay will systematically fail because they don't face reality. Founders who lead with numbers are far more likely to actually know what's happening with their business, and thus succeed more often.

> why would somebody in their sane minds would support a government that doesn't even let you Google

As a matter of fact, people who can see your comment certainly would not support a government that do not let them use Google. But this group of Chinese people are tiny.

I guess at least 90% of Chinese citizens do not know Google.

So the problem is not that Chinese citizens like totalitarianism, the problem is that they do not see it as totalitarianism, or even think it's truly democratic. Like many people here believe that Trump is for the people and will be serving them faithfully (I am not saying that Trump will not do that, I am saying that it should not be taken as a thing that will happen for sure), which has to be the case if people can put Trump in check and hold him accountable.

But I don't know how to educate 1.3 billion people...

One reason that's often put forward for why Sweden breeds a disproportionate amount of successful companies is that the Swedish market is so small that they have to quickly learn to expand and navigate the global market. Meanwhile in "big enough" markets like Germany and France there's enough room for expansion without going global. So it could go both ways.

I don't like this argument, because Android is not developed openly and the kernel itself is a fork which lags behind the mainstream Linux development until Google implements the changes, which users see when they throw away their phone because Samsung/HTC/Xiaomi/Ulefone/Whatever doesn't want to update the phone or Verizon/ATT/Telenor/T-Mobile, etc., doesn't want to push the update because they branded the phone so that means its theirs but not their responsibility.

Speaking of which... I'd really love to have a reference manual on one of the early x86 processors. Maybe the 386, since it is one of the iconic ones (or the one I have the most nostalgia for) that also started to get interesting features like protected mode, but still wasn't so complicated as to be a multi-volume, 5,000-page series (maybe?).

Back in the 1990s, when I was doing assembly language on the Amiga, Motorola sent me the official 68000 manual for free when I called and asked them. It was a really cool book to have on the shelf and occasionally lead through.

I looked at abebooks.com, and there are Intel books, but I wouldn't know exactly which one would be the reference manual. Anyone got an ISBN?

> has been poisoning the well for years by employing paid commenters and schills to parrot the exact same arguments.

What do you mean? Are you saying Chinese government paid people in US to do propaganda for the sake of Chinese leaders? I do not think that's any surprising. You should expect any country to do something to influence their competitors or enemies alike.

But you seem imply that the poster you accused was connected with Chinese government. You should not automatically link the government activity with personal behavior on HN. If there is an factual link between the poster's comments and government sponsorship, then go for it, expose the facts. The tactic of someone behaving pro-China, is certainly a "wu mao", is nothing better than claiming one is a traitor on the ground that he accused US govenment's any wrongdoing.

Could you elaborate?

I think you are confusing cause and effect. Trust is lost when the government destroys the value of the currency, by e.g., printing money.

> Trust in the value of currency is how money retains value.

No, not running the printing presses to pay your bills is how money retains value. :) And a history of retaining value is how a currency becomes trusted.

Understood.

I wonder if you could suggest a better way to phrase this point. Like, is it out of bounds to say that someone's comment here and comments in the past sound to me like Chinese propaganda? I guess that is what I was trying to say (and I grant that I didn't say it well).

Sorry for causing a scene.
A small book could probably be written on the subject, but the basic issue is that not enough stuff is standardized for it to be a very manageable problem. The situation is sort of like if npm had to support not just Node, but also all the JS engines and object models in browsers and Flash Player.
C/C++ has wonderful package managers you just have to use Linux or BSD to use them. Linux and BSD package managers sort of invented the whole idea of network package management in the first place.

BSD ports, and the many Linux rpm and deb package managers have source and developer packages. There was a time when Linux had no package managers. They were invented precisely to solve the problems of dependency resolution and dissemination of sources and binaries to a distributed global network.

The fact that there are so many package managers is a feature not a bug also. Just like the many distributions of Linux and BSD is intentional and strengthens the ecosystem and allows for innovation and experimentation.

Package management is also available on Windows with Msys2 (pacman) and a few others.

A developers learning plan for Q1 2017
I'm not sure where you got the impression that the EU is less popular in the east; according to these [1] surveys, Poland is the only large EU country where EU approval ratings have held up lately, while Hungarians also have quite good feelings on the subject - despite their governments' very public disputes with the EU on the erosion of democracy in those countries. The correlation is weak, but they're also less into decentralisation than others. And Spain and Italy are also relatively pro-Eu; their populist movements have been left-wing and pro-EU.

It's rich Northwestern states (and, understandably, Greece) that have big problems on the popular level with the EU.

A package manager for C++ wouldn't be that difficult if there was a sane, uniform build system available.

But there is something actively developed in that direction: https://build2.org and https://cppget.org

In fact, the package manager is pretty feature-complete, just the build system is still heavily developed.
Don't worry. The state will make sure that this system provides no reasonable rewards either. You're cursed into squalor if you follow, and you get persecuted to some extent if you don't.

That's the problem with these systems. Their aim is and must be to get the population to willingly accept poverty and impotence.

My reaction as well. Additionally, I'm not in agreement that the other point the OP posted in discrediting the article -- that it would fail A/B testing -- is a cause for great concern. If you look at the method of statistical sampling used in the article, and not to mention this research was published in Nature, such an expedient reason to discredit their research seems inappropriate.

I in no way, expect our leaders to fix the situation in Syria. We have enough problems at home.

And the article highlighting similarities between the Holocaust and the Syrian civil war is sickening.

1. In the Holocaust, Jews were being hunted down and killed for no reason other than the fact that they were Jewish. Asad is murdering his own subjects indiscriminately. Are we supposed to just take in the entire Syrian country? I don't think he's purposely targeting Sunnis over Shiites or vice-a-versa (although I may be wrong in this regard)
2. There was no reason not to take Jews in. They don't have a publicly declared, religously mandated doctrine of hate for the West (especially the USA), or come from a society that is completely incompatible with Western society. I'm not saying every Muslim is like that, but even 10% of 2 billion is a lot...
If I"ve understood you correctly so far, your overall approach to the problem seems to be that if we can't define it in a reasonably rigorous way, then we don't really know what we're referring to, and so it's not real. For example:

> I can't help but have a lingering feeling that there must be more to the concept of "subjective experience" than "arbitrary details of the internal implementation of an algorithm that don't affect the results," but alas, I can't come up with words to describe whatever else there might be.

I sympathize, but disagree. It's quite clear to me that the sensation of perceiving things, whether it's redness or sweetness or pain, has something about it that is not just arbitrary details of how my brain works. There is a me which is qualitatively different from the rest of the universe in some way. No, I can't really describe it very well, but that doesn't make it any less real.

You do have me wondering, though, if maybe not everyone has this. Take aphantasia, for example. Some people can see things in their mind, and some can't. For a long time, neither group realized that the other even existed. Those who could see things just assumed everyone could, and those who couldn't assumed everyone couldn't. Maybe some subset of humanity consists of p-zombies, and they only know of these concepts because they've heard of them from others.
My comment is only about one word ("recent") in the title of this "news" article on gizmodo.com, not about the title or content of the actual research. Sorry it wasn't clear.

The Nature commentary has the title: "Greenland once lost nearly all its ice — and could again"

http://www.nature.com/news/greenland-once-lost-nearly-all-it...

The actual paper title is: "Greenland was nearly ice-free for extended periods during the Pleistocene"

http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v540/n7632/full/nature2...

I'd say the actual paper title wins by a mile.
