A life is a life. If one life costs 7500 to save and another costs 15000 they are both still lives if you ask me. Should you spend 15000 to save one life or 7500*2 to save 2? If the one that costs 15000 is your child? Thats complicated of course. But the numbers arent really. Again, 7500 or more. As long as you have resources to share you can choose which life to save (or if you want to spend it on a computer and time on HN and let them all perish).
Then you want a safe incremental process that allows you to run unchecked code and annotate which code has been upgraded to meet the type checking standard - this is already done for javascript projects, you can introduce Flow to typecheck only the annotated functions in a file: https://flowtype.org/docs/existing.html

Hit 2, 3, and 4 all on my first project. That went down badly.

A project existed, that I thought sucked, for storing customer details, to let techs remotely lookup things like onsite IP addresses and the like, because clients never really set aside time to document.

I thought two weeks to rebuild the frontend in Python... It took 8, and did not a damn thing more or less, was slower, less reliable and fewer techs knew Python.

I thought it was great for having 100% test coverage, but the fact of the matter was it sucked, was overtime, and pretty much a waste of developer resources.

However, it did inspire the maintainer of the better, original version to document his code, and build a test suite, because he could basically rework the one I made.
I also find it slower. Could it be that the full version uses hardware acceleration and the lite one is all on the CPU?

The other big difference is that zooming in with the lite version takes me to aerial photos which look infinitely better than the weird 3D interpolated pictures of the full version (Earth view). I'd like to get that as a default in Earth.
PHP is definitely an open process.
I also worked from home when my kids were born. Personally I think you should see it as an opportunity as you can spend time with your child whenever you want to/have a moment during the day. Might even help with the stress. I do think it's important to have an understanding with your partner that you can not be expected to help out when working, and some good headphones can be helpful. And yes, I don't remember what I was going to say 5 minutes ago but I hope that improves when paternity leave ends.

A utility worker's laptop suffering an intrusion is something that should be investigated earlier, rather than later.

I'd rather hear about false alarms, early and often, since I'm not convinced that critical infrastructure is actually insulated from attack at all.

Electricity and water infrastructure is almost certainly in terrible shape, based on what we've learned about lead in Flint, Michigan and what's remembered about the 2003 blackout, and Enron.

Knowing this, and hearing not very much about what's being done to modernize essential utilities, I'd hate to find out that a massive accident was caused by someone's idea of modernization being a PHP web app prone to SQL injection running inside a docker image, as a rube goldberg facade wrapping a galaxy of SCADA controllers.

This is the kind of thing people should get noisy about, since there's been pretty much only silence and very little "disruption."

well altruism is an emotional response, if the brain has evolved to exhibit altruism it would be because the behaviors most likely to be exhibited by altruism were rewarded with survival and possibilities for procreation, as well as helping with the survival of those carrying your genetic material.

But... under his conditions it is clear that everyone in the group with the least altruists dies. There also seems to be no particular benefit for an individual of getting more points than anyone else. No point trying anything, it is clear prima facie.

Whether this has any relevance to the real world is the debatable matter. I would argue that it does, there are many examples where strong communities have grown as a result of general goodwill and altruistic behaviours, and these communities prosper compared to those where exploitative behaviour is common. There is of course another element which a simplified model neglects - communities, once formed, exert a strong pressure on its members to conform to the norm, be it good or bad. This pressure has the effect that the individuals who depart from community norms are "evolved out" so to speak. In case of altruistic communities, this protects the group from infiltration by exploitative individuals. In case of exploitative communities, unfortunately, this perpetuates the communal problems. Eventually, if the two communities come into a conflict, the exploitative community will be eliminated.

Sure, but just "feeling good" for helping others could be viewed as selfish as well. But at that point it's just semantics. I think we need to call altruism altruism for the actions, regardless of your return net effects. Is charity not altruism because you happen to benefit from it 50 years later in societal growth?
I compiled a nightly build of LineageOS yesterday. Building it for just my phone requires:
-8GB of RAM
-70GB of disk space

Pulling down the source code from github using my 500mbps connection took about half an hour. The first build took over 90 minutes. Adding a single file and rebuilding took 25 minutes with compiler cache enabled.

Presumably the compiler cache will speed up building for multiple devices and device specific builds will probably only take half an hour after the first build, but these numbers will not fit in any free plan.

Granted, bitbucket seems to have decent pricing for their Pipelines but the price for building weekly for all devices will probably be too expensive in the long run. That's why they're looking for servers donated by the community.

Why German Banks Took Stand Against Capital Floors Made in Basel
Presumably a bunch of us maintain FT subscriptions.
So many comments here amounting basically to "don't pigeon hole yourself", "get outside your comfort zone", "there is no such thing as an introvert", etc. That's funny because really the whole reason this post exists is to help the author take a stand against exactly these kinds of denials of self (both internal and external). In the social spheres of life, extroverts are dominant, and, at least in the US, represent sort of the ideal temperament. They literally talk more, have more friend connections on average, are more likely to be in positions of group leadership, etc. Unfortunately this leads many introverts to feel marginalized, ashamed, self-hating, you name it. This post represents the rising tide of introverts waking up to the misunderstandings of our temperment and finding healthy ways to assert our differences from the traditionally valued extrovert ideal. Support and encouragement is really the best thing here I think.

Ask yourself, do you ever see blogs, articles, etc. extolling the virtues of being extroverted or making declarations like this article? No, it's just sort of taken for granted.

Heard many extroverts wishing they could be more introverted? I haven't but I do know most introverts struggle in the opposite direction.

It's definitely an asymmetric situation...

It's not just about bargain basement product though. Supermarkets do offer premium products and prices more people can afford.

It will come as part of a bundle that nobody expects any Republicans to reject - http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/back-to-the-auction-hous...

> Now, here's the good part, as it was with the DeLay Rule, the vote is secret. Why? Because this is a caucus vote, i.e., not an actual congressional vote. Let me digress for a moment and explain just one more bit of detail. With each new Congress the majority puts together a bundle of rules that will govern how the House works during that Congress. Mostly this just puts the old rules back in place. But there are always a few changes. All those rules get bundled into one bill and it's the first thing or one of the first to get voted on. That bill gets approved on a party line vote, just like the Speaker gets elected. If the caucus votes for it, it's a sure thing. So even though this was just a secret caucus vote, in effect it is binding as law since all Republicans will vote for it in the official vote.

> 2) Higher monthly expenses, plus a potentially-giant bill for the birth,

The toll on household finance and peace of mind of the US insurance system is incredible. The births of two daughters, including a couple of days at the hospital, peridural, pre-birth prep and post-birth followup, cost us a grand total of 30€. Of course nothing is free, we pay it through other means (taxes), but not having to think about cost at that moment is so relieving.
I honestly don't understand this mindset. They're valid theories alright, but to me it seems counter intuitive.

So, we strive for information density. That doesn't mean there are no other, very valid, reasons to expand. Planets and stars die. Even if whatever intelligence is living in its own simulated Eden, there's reason to observe the outside and not stick to one place. Meaning space travel would still be happening to some degree. Even if just tiny probes, it would be happening. Not as much as the classic sci-fi space-faring civilization, but there is still reason to become a type 3 civilization.

On a separate note, while that is more speculative, if we argue for the Fermi Paradox by just our observations, we might as well argue against the Transcension Hypothesis by just our observations. Not on a technological level, but by how we see intelligence work for us.

Our intelligence is not inwards facing. We want to share what we know, and we want to create and know what others know. Locking ourselves into a simulation means abandoning the idea - and search - of external intelligence. Even if there is a way to connect clusters of these dense intelligences together, may they be individuals, whole civilizations or whatever beyond our imagination, turning your back to an almost infinite universum of potential unknowns seems anything but intelligent and we have no more reason to believe that this is intrinsic to humans than our lacking observational skills are.

I wonder if you can get beyond that point and realize your own world is the best you've got despite all that's out there without ever becoming space-faring in the first place. Going straight to "I don't care, just leave me be" mode seems an awful lot like it has the same end game as putting all of humanity into a lifelong endorphine-laden coma until we all die out. No transcension needed for that.
"Stopped being about results"? I think you're referring to the building-up of the vocabulary required to attain results. As an analogy, you learnt to count (1,2,3,4,…), but then when addition and multiplication were introduced, it "stopped being about numbers, and more about abstract and complicated operations on numbers". Yes, fine, but addition and multiplication open the gateway to the study of the primes, from which most of the results of number theory follow.

While I agree with your points, I would also add that most of the people who are in the middle in the second, bifurcated market would likely be in the low end or outside the market entirely in the first market, e.g. they won't even be able to afford the meat.

> The thought of an emergency is interesting. I struggle to imagine an emergency that does not warrant police or ambulance, but does warrant taking on the hazard of extreme speeds.

I don't know about the US, but in my country (central Europe), it's better (and legal, almost encouraged - police will escort you if you tell them the reason) to break all speed limits in case of transporting an injured person (in some places, the ambulance would be just too slow), a pregnant woman about to give birth, etc.

Reaction time of an ambulance is around 2 minutes until they deploy, 15 minutes until they get to you, 15 minutes until they get back to the hospital - meanwhile you can drive the person yourself in 20 minutes.
Good point, if it is altruism out of self-interest it is not altruistic in the pure sense.

I think that I might go as extreme as to say it is only altruistic if it makes you feel bad or puts you in a clearly bad position.

Let's say that out of an act of altruism you help a person achieve some goal of theirs. Now you do not have a material gain from this, but doing so will make you feel good, hence you did it to make yourself feel good?

The Lite version is much slower on my ancient Core 2 Duo E8400 w/ GeForce 210. Which I'd think would be the kind of specs this feature was aimed at.
It's not an interesting point, because if you do your research, there is no gain to using a Kaby Lake (7th generation) CPU over a "Skylake-U" (6th gen) CPU:

Current/2016 13" max-spec i7 MBP uses i7-6567U which scores slightly higher (average single/multi-core geekbench results) than the best dual-core Kaby Lake CPU, being the i7-7500U.

> i3 is great, until you try to do something simple like change the time zone for your desktop clock or add some wallpaper. I switched from Linux to Mac because I was too well acquainted with making symlinks to /usr/share/ somewhere just to change my clock when I traveled, and then figuring out just how few processes I had to restart so it would take effect.

Systemd makes using i3 so much easier. No more fiddling with consolekit and dbus just to get working external drives (logind solves the problem of local authentication), no more fiddling with symlinks to set time (timedatectl to the rescue).

> Unfortunately the Linux desktops were actually worse than the barebones window managers like i3: there was some sort of glibc bug that screwed up clock display on GNOME for at least a year. GNOME assumed glibc did it right, which was a reasonable assumption...but an incorrect one, but with i3 I could control this.

Gnome nowadays use timedatectl AFAIK to set time too. The last time I had a issue with setting date or time in Gnome was pre-systemd days.

While some people may not like systemd, I find tools like timedatectl, localectl and hostnamectl to be quite useful. They work much better than trying to write a shell script or parse something.
The point of the original paper was to learn the hyperparameters of a DNN using a DNN, as opposed to using, say, a bayesian optimization framework.
Wrote my post before I saw this one. This is in line with what I was thinking, an act of altruism to make yourself feel good is not pure altruism.

I also agree that it is about the actions more than what you gain by doing so.

Charity is a good example of how altruism helps yourself, I donate to charity every now and then and of course it makes me feel good about donating, thus the act has an emotional gain for me.
