A lot of people on HN consider themselves logical because they know how to work with Boolean logic and they know how to identify some Boolean fallacies (slippery slope, correlation does not imply causation, etc.).

Of course, this is absolutely insufficient for almost any real-world scenario; Boolean logic does not equip one to make probabilistic inferences about the state of the world, which is the best we can do for the vast majority of everyday propositions.

The reality is that "slippery slope" is a very powerful heuristic, correlation correlates with causation, etc. People here often mistakenly think probabilistic arguments are Boolean (e.g. thinking Occam's razor tells you to believe only the most a priori likely hypothesis) or mistakenly think that Boolean arguments can be interpreted probabilistically (e.g. "Correlation doesn't imply causation, so I'm not going to treat this demonstrated correlation as evidence for causation").

How do we meaningfully say that something is internationally illegal? Or how do we say that a nation commits crimes? There is no international legislative body. The International Criminal Court isn't respected. When the ICC is disrespected, an international police force doesn't come to enforce the court's will. And by what basis is the ICC even the legitimate court of the international?

The story start from I bought the rpl report writing service from rpl-it.com, it'not cheap, 99.9 pounds. My english is poor, that is why I bought from them, they declared they will write the rpl report according to my CV. If they really did what they said, I think it is worth the price.
But, I just received a template which I can download from other website for free. It's nothing relative to my CV, it's totally faked.
And they refuse to refund, also refuse to write a real document according to my CV.

30 to 50% of a high take-home actually leaves you with quite a lot of disposable income. 30 to 50% of a low take-home is probably unsustainable. Not all costs are directly proportional to housing costs in a housing bubble.

Particularly for younger people, it makes a lot of sense to suffer the higher proportion on rent. Quality of life is much higher living centrally, and income will probably grow, while rents are usually a bit sticky.

It's called Inversion of Control (IoC)[1]. It's arises naturally when code is used in more than one place.

Collusion has already happened in this market. I don't need that, though. I've observed a pattern in a lot of markets where big players, esp wielding patents, will turn into cartels (intentional or emergent) that act in both individual self-interest and collective self-interest. A race to the bottom wouldn't benefit any of them. So, they compete in little ways to fight for market share but make sure the business models keep the profits up.

The telecoms, both cellular and ISP's, are where this is most obvious where the compete in the most incremental way saying its impossible to do anything else. Then, a small play comes in doing what they're doing... sometimes the same way... with more benefit at a tiny fraction of the cost. Suddenly, they can afford to do the same with their existing infrastructure. Real competition would've brought in unlimited plans in cell phones or gigabit in broadband much sooner for similar or lower prices.

The largest vendors of RAM are likely a cartel in practice. It's the best outcome for each of them to not race to the bottom. They don't even need to talk to know that. That they can reinforce it with patents they're more likely to have than the smaller players is icing on the cake.
You're being intentionally dense. The reason she would have to carry multiple devices is that she wanted to use her Blackberry, but the Blackberry was not allowed to access state.gov email. She would have continued to use her Blackberry to access her personal email, which would have meant she would need another device to access her state.gov email.

RAM is only capable of storing one bit per cell. FLASH didn't really take off until MLC technology came around giving the ability to store multiple bits per cell which vastly increased the density.

Theoretically RAM could be built that way but it would be much slower. Every cell read/write would need to go through an ADC/DAC, and the noise is much higher due to leakage. This slowness isn't much of a problem for FLASH because its competition was spinning disks that were slow as molasses anyways.

I've been throwing money into broad spectrum index mutual funds for the last 10 years, and in that time have averaged about 9% annually while investing maybe 20 hours thinking about asset allocation ("my age in bonds"), fees ("as low as possible") and deleting brokerage statements from my email inbox ("I know my worth to the cent already, thanks").

Meanwhile, I have invested at least 50 hours touring houses, applying for loans and trading texts with braindead realtors in December of 2016 alone while trying to buy my family's first home.

From where I stand, real estate is a terrible waste of time, energy and effort. If you want exposure to the asset class (why?!) buy into an MBS mutual fund; if you feel the itch to be a landlord (again, why?!) toss money into a REIT[1]. Do anything, basically, to avoid a large, career limiting[2] asset of uncertain value on your personal balance sheet.

[1] Assumes you live in high COLA area where renting is more sensible than buying. Do your math, I am not an investment advisor, and your situation may be different from mine.

[2] To avoid charges of hypocrisy: I no longer have a career, so I am happy to settle down, buy and customize the hell out of a house.
I don't consider high demand locations having high cost a problem personally. But if you want to live in a high demand area and you don't make enough money there are ways to do it without spending excessively on rent.

We Chinese call it "black money", too. But it sounds too harsh and directly pointing to crime when talking, esp. publicly. So the color is changed to gray meaning color between clear and black so that no one "overreacts" (when "black money" is normal, everywhere possible and most people deal with it do not end up in jail or are not being investigated"). Just a way people accept the reality.

I've not said it is morally wrong. Though I think it is wrong to complain about the costs of high demand areas if you're not willing to take actions to decrease those costs.
I've decided to learn many, many things over the years: programming languages, human languages, musical instruments, drawing/painting/art, sports, math, chess, etc...

What it comes down to is spending time getting your hands dirty making things (or getting real practice), even if your output sucks for a long time. (And it will.)

Favorite personal example: One day, when I was around 19, I decided that I wanted to be an artist. I hadn't seriously drawn anything since I was about 10. My current skills were atrocious, but I started drawing every single day, anyway, undeterred.

Of course, at first I was awful. But I copied old master paintings, drew pictures of famous sculptures, etc.; all of my free-time, I spent drawing. And slowly, but surely, I got better at it. I did this every day for probably about 3 years or so, and by the end of it, I was very accomplished. But it was a constant effort that took years. I probably did over 1,000 drawings, hundreds of paintings, and so on. And about 90% of them were awful. But the good stuff, it was really really good. I guess that's the price sometimes. Nobody is a genius all the time. Even Michelangelo, or Picasso.

The thing is, if you find something you enjoy, it doesn't feel like work or drudgery. (Even though drudgery is the only way to get better.) Instead, it's an activity that you want to spend time on, and when you do--time passes so quickly you don't know where it went. It's like living life on fast forward. (Maybe that feeling's the real-life inspiration for the old trope of the training montage. A deep kernel of truth beneath the fantasy, after all?)

I think the effective status of copyright is being influenced by open source and creative commons. The more we publish in open source, the more value it accumulates, and that attracts new publishing. It grows like a black hole, eating everything (or like communism, if you asked Microsoft a few years ago). Just look of what remained of the copyright protected software market after 2000. Github is the new Library of Alexandria, not What.CD, because What.CD was only free as in beer, while Github is free as in freedom as well.
i don't get the hate. yes, the bulk of your work might not be designing or implementing search structures. there may be better ways of predicting whether or not someone is going to have a positive contribution..but

if you don't have some basic understanding of costs and complexity, and have a vague notion about how things are implemented "under the hood", then you probably aren't really that useful.
Any idea why the same people appear to have used Rust for their KV store but Go for their SQL frontend to it? They are both great languages, I'm just surprised to see one team with major projects spread across the two.
Do you know about the Common Lisp loop macro? You can write the same list comprehension as in the article with almost exactly the same syntax using CL loop for, if and collect clauses. It is hard to take criticism like "<Language X> represents the ultimate sacrifice of legibility, type-safety, and familiarity in exchange for expressiveness" seriously if you do not even have basic proficiency with <Language X>.

You're not, I do basically the same thing.

Personally I really wish read receipts hadn't caught on so much - they were toxic in email and they're still toxic here. Delivery receipts are fine, they give you an indication that the message hasn't been lost in transit. But read receipts put too much pressure on the recipient for a quick response, because the other person knows they've already read the message.

A Tesla bought today does have the hardware to implement what they call full self driving, once the software is ready and state regulations, if any, are in place.

That being said, i would imagine said hardware would evolve over time with new releases. It would be nice, and probably safer, if cars could actually communicate with each other, rather than have to rely on their own cameras, to determine another vehicles position. Same with traffic lights, road signs, etc.

that's probably a long way off, although i wonder if Teslas have hardware that would allow them to communicate with one another.

I live with two other housemates, in one of the cheaper, older apartments in the area. I chose it because it's only one bus away from my work/uni, where a cheaper location (much further away) was only $30 a week cheaper, and saving 2 hours a day of commuting is worth $6 a day to me. I see other commenters saying 30-50% isn't that bad, but that's not taking Sydney's high cost of living into account.
> Is a heavy crane operator making $400k/year plus benefits "working class"? That sure sounds like wealthy to me.

It's absurd to imply that such a person, if real, is representative of the incomes of union members in New York. And again, why focus on that guy and not the person making tens of millions?

EDIT: Reading the articles you linked to, I understand those are the high-end of salaries of crain operators building skyscrapers in in NYC.[0] I'm not sure that's inappropriate; it's high skill work with many lives and enormous investment on the line, like an airplane pilot. Why do people think their incomes are inappropriate (if that is the implication) and not the person who makes tens of millions from their casual gaming software startup.

And that does not qualify as wealthy in NY, at least not in a way that will buy you any influence.

[0] The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 14-14B lays out the wage floor for its operators at $73.91 per hour. That’s $150,000 a year before overtime, plus benefits equal to $32.50 an hour. When the operator is behind the controls of a tower crane, he gets a $2-an-hour bump. On weekends, when cranes are moved, pay doubles. With overtime, many union members earn half a million dollars a year.

In the long term, the bubble is going to pop and then you have dead cities with empty high rises falling apart (but then again, people have been saying for at least 10 years that the bubble is going to pop any day now and it's still inflating)

The reason that bubble has not yet popped is because over the last 10 years Oz has generally seen below average GDP growth and year on year deflation, not unlike the rest of the world.

To fight those conditions the central bank (the R.B.A.) has been forced to cut interest rates (again not unlike the rest of the world).

Those record low interest rates makes money cheap and property attractive.

But going forward, should Oz see any level of real GDP growth, interest rates will have to rise and when that happens that will be the pin that pops the housing bubble.
>That's the security through obscurity model though.

Not quite. "Security through obscurity" refers to obscurity being the only layer of security. PS3 still had encryption and in ideal world, if the software was completely exploit free then it would not be an issue. However, all real software has bugs, which could be exploited. Not making it easy for an attacker to find these bugs is the Security 101.

Do you open file system on your servers for read to everyone? Do you enable guest accounts on your systems?
If you don't you are also practicing "security through obscurity".

>As fail0verflow continually notes in their blogs [1], piracy is the least interesting use case of exploits for them.

A search for e.g. "CFW PS3" will reveal a lot of people who are quite of opposite opinion.
