I'm all for ECC, but honestly you can just buy Xeon E3 and cheap motherboards supporting it. I would also prefer that ECC is deployed everywhere (including on portable devices), but if it is not going to happen, I will just continue to buy chips that supports it (on markets where they exist...)

So what annoys me is not that Core i7 do not support ECC. What annoys me are markets where ECC does not exist at all, like ultra portable devices, and to a slightly lesser measure laptops (I've recently seen at least a workstation laptop featuring ECC, although the price was insane IIRC)
Angular is not a construct based on, and promoting, socio-political theories. It is entirely fair to have a political stance regarding these systems.
I'm excited for it. Helps lessen the burn of waiting for the 6700K's successor only to find it's the same thing basically.

Still, Netflix requiring DRM on 4K streams is idiotic. Big content sure does love shooting themselves in the foot.
> Isn't AOP far more general than what you propose there?

Yes, definitely AOP provides much more freedom in injecting behavior to other parts of the code - it is its main goal while COP has different goals.

> you would need to duplicate a CCC e.g. logging in each distinct 'parent'

No, because in COP, "Parents are Shared Parts of Objects" [1], that is, a parent may have many children. Inheritance in COP is inclusion. If a parent implements a method then it will be reused by all its children.

Yeah, I've hand tilled a tiny patch of ground. It's a lot of work. I think my next step would have been begging one of the neighbors to come in with their hobby tractor though.
that's not a widespread problem held by many nor evidence of consumers demand. Like you said, it's a problem considered by a few but outside of that there's very little reason to use ethereum.

go ahead and downvote my critical views on Ethereum, I'm already used to it from /r/ethereum pumpers. But I'm taking away that there's no good rationale for adopting Ethereum or blockchain technology other than very micro and esoteric niches.

> of some bad actor sending out code which turns those cars into ungoverned highway missiles

Yes but think of the probabilities that have to happen are:

a) Knowledgeable person

b) Motivated person

c) Evil or mentally unstable person

d) Determination and ability to overcome adversity.

And the person or person who has to decide that Tesla is what they want to exploit instead of another car manufacturer or another object and so on.

Compare this with someone who simply wants to take their car and drive it into a crowd.

One reason why you may want a container is because it is a movable structure. That means that you do not need a building permit. Acquiring a building permit requires at least a class 5 road. This is the case for New Hampshire. I don't know how representative it is though. Also this not uncommon when for larger lots, but I'm not really sure if there are differences from lots as small as 2 acres.
if anybody could grace me with an invite to lobsters, then I will be allowed to have an opinion on this matter.
Your analysis is good but static. There is a bigger dynamic problem where your economic system relies on eternal compounded growth and anything less will result in utter collapse. The planet is a fixed size. Therefore the only question is when is the collapse, not if they'll be one.

A side issue is recent history over the past couple centuries has revolved around replacing old forms of energy with new ones orders of magnitude cheaper. So far its worked out well. Because we haven't collapsed yet isn't a justification for it always working in the future. And now we're pretty well done with oil and coal with nothing to replace them, certainly not something orders of magnitude better to continue the trend of growth.

Another interesting exponential is the economy seems to do better with exponential growth in native population. Those aren't growing because economic conditions are awful. That leads to even worse economic conditions, leading to even lower population birth rates...
It's genuine. I only recently set it to send a monthly report; just the appearance is exactly that of a phishing email. Virus/malware scans showed nothing, so looked at the attachment and it's proper - just a CSV report in a ZIP.

I'm just surprised that we haven't got further than this with emails, it seems so basic.
> Category theory is not widely used by those who program computers and thus produce computation in them.

Computation is bigger than just programming in industry. "Computing" has always referred to the overall discipline of computer science.

> you point out how many people productively write software without knowing anything about category theory (or even abstract algebra).

That wasn't my point at all. Read again. They can have even more productivity if they used category theoretic abstractions.

> Saying that people use category theory to write software without knowing it is like saying they use Maxwell's Laws to write software

Good thing that's not what I said either. You're making a habit of this.

People can understand a structure, in that they can grasp its semantics and its application, without knowing it's canonical name.

The other thing with "decoy pricing" is that you "throw away" the cheapest option without proper research.

The Core i3-6320 is about $60-70 cheaper than the i5-6600k, but on applications that don't benefit (sufficiently) from multiple cores, it can perform nearly as well. Anecdotally, friends building PCs always compare i5 and i7 and never consider the i3, but for their real world uses (many games!) it would be just perfect (and the savings could be thrown at the video card where it'd make more of a difference.)
> Or maybe they should just get rid of the subsidies.

Oh we in the cities would love to get rid of the subsidies, but rural areas are overrepresented under our political systems. Clawing back the subsidies is the second-best option.

> Maybe you should visit India or the Philippines and let me know how soon you expect that cultural shift to hit them.

It's hitting them already. India's TFR is down to 2.4, which is pretty close to replacement, and while the Philippines is still at 3 or so, it's still down from 6-7 a generation ago.

> The NSA, FDA, etc. will take care of you. Sleep easy champ.

Your code reference is terrible
Agreed, macOS is a far superior blend of Unix underpinnings and a graphical front-end. I love that I can have my terminal and Emacs run seamlessly on the same platform as Sketch and Photoshop. Fortunately, my MacBook Pro is still a plenty capable machine for the programming I do in my day job.

But I have to say, PC hardware has come a long way, not just in terms of performance, but also in build quality and ease of use. The aluminum case I bought looks as good as any Mac Pro tower Apple has made, it has fantastic cable routing so everything's clean and tidy, and tons of options for thermal management--I can run games on ultra quality and my PC is still silent!

It's really too bad we can't have the best of both worlds. But I don't see Apple going towards PC-standard hardware, Windows will probably never be a great Unix, and Linux never quite gets the software adoption it needs to become my desktop OS. I'd love to be proven wrong on any of those, however!
>because these sites were long known to local people, they had invariably been disturbed, if not badly looted.

No kidding. I had a Spanish teacher in high school from Peru who'd bring in artifacts he'd found in caves around his home town, his collection included a human skull he claimed was from an Andean civilization. It didn't dawn on me until years later how ludicrous it was that this man had kept this skull he'd found in a cave and then took it across the world to be handled by kids. It still had dirt inside of it!

Now I wonder how many laws and customs he'd broken, and whether it was a significant enough find that much was lost by him using it as a trophy.
> The availability of elder care services in the marketplace doesn't constitute a "gerontocracy".

that's not what I said and you're now arguing against a strawman.

I said that retraining of displaced laborers to be elder-care service providers is moving in the direction of gerontracracy, and that if the trend is extrapolated enough (perhaps to the point of absurdity, but I was making a speculative point, not a comment about the current state of things) then it is easy to imagine funneling young people into that industry as alternative job opportunities are less and less available. that would be gerontocracy.
To illustrate lefstathiou's question:

Where the author says: "The problem is that people who are happy with their experience and respecting our rules are not allowed to speak with the media so you end up hearing disproportionately from disgruntled people."

Do you agree or disagree with this assertion? I think it's reasonable to expect that employees seeking to speak with the press are not pleased with the work environment but to determine what that means wouldn't we need to know what % of employees speak to the press at Bridgewater relative to other financial firms?

Where the author says: "We also offered to put Copeland in contact with three prominent organizational psychologists and researchers who" ... "had studied our culture in depth" ... "These researchers" ... "had access to anyone they wanted to speak with when they did their studies. Copeland and Hope" ... "chose not to speak with these experts."

Do you think this sounds like a fair effort for honest reporting? Do you think the author is lying about such an easily verifiable statement or can you explain why the journalists chose not to speak to these individuals?

There's more, but reading through the author's words it appears like he made an honest effort to represent the good and the bad at their company. Years ago, the WSJ was considered a pinnacle of financial reporting so when Rupert Murdoch acquired it there was a lot of concern about the potential for bias to creep in.

I worked for a financial company that was the lead story in the New York Times financial section. I hold no affection for this company but, having familiarity with the circumstances they were discussing, it was clear they misrepresented the facts to make things look as bad as possible.

A neutral/honest article isn't as sensational as one building a bogeyman. Is it possible that this billionaire CIO just has a loud enough voice to point out how inaccurate the reporting was?

Any time I see a subject in the news I'm familiar with I see numerous inaccuracies and misrepresentations, have you had this experience? Do you think that phenomenon is limited only to your knowledge domain?

Yes, the CIO has incentive to discount the article, but do you see how the journalists may have incentive to undermine the company?

It appears you've only managed to hire one person after at least 246 days (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11612805) and it is safe to assume you've advertised this position in other boards as well. I see you were a team of nine developers back then, and only recently became a team of ten developers, according to the job posts.

Maybe you should inform the community here why it hasn't been working out for you or update the copy to indicate the level of experience you are looking for.
> Homosexuality is the most common one, and as current research suggests a genetic component it seems likely that with further information it will ultimately make sense, if not as an adaptive trait, at least as a consequence of adaptive traits.

Given homosexuality is prevalent in the animal kingdom as well, that's pretty much assured.

When embedded into a C host applications, it is really nice, though. There is also a port of Lua 5.2 to Go, which has a slighty confusing API (to me, at least), but the documentation makes up for that.

I totally get your point, but there are some serious apps (non-games) on Steam too.

I see, you did seem to imply that I implied that NYT/Pearl (pg favors the former when it comes to possible "bad actors") were being dishonest.

I think it's an important lesson to learn how to discern whether articles are "paid marketing" or "content marketing" (or biased in other ways). Not many people know how to do this kind of critical thinking -- look at the "fake news" debacle (if anything, there is a certain blind trust people place in authority figures like the NYT).

The transparency (or lack thereof) of this particular article is an important observation to note.
What they are not mentioning is that the performance of the Intel Core i7-7700K is actually also identical to the Intel Core i7 4790K, which was launched in 2014 and is 3 generations old and is nothing more than an overclocked Intel Core i7 4770K which is from 2013. We basically haven't seen any improvements for this series of chips in years except for a bit of overclocking with 4970K and now 7770K.
Most definitely. In my experience ideas are rarely valuable by themselves. Rather an idea is valuable when implemented by someone who have what it takes to see it through.

Simply put, not a lot of people have what it takes just because they filed a patent.

While 1) is true, it's not significantly true. If we are measuring calories consistently, even if we are wrong about it, we can continue to trend downwards until we are losing weight. There isn't such a massive difference that caloric measurement error is to blame.

And for 2) this is really not true at all. Yes, you might store fat temporarily etc., but if you are eating a caloric balance, guess what: that fat has to be used at some point.

Taubes is not wrong, but he really overemphasizes a lot of things. People who are obese are not eating just a little over caloric balance but eating the wrong things. They are eating massively over caloric balance. Cutting sugar out might be a good way to get them to comply to a diet that requires them to eat fewer calories, but ultimately for the obese it's really just the calories that are an issue. Imo this warrants more research into the psychological aspects of obesity (the food dopamine reward system etc.)

What is your source for transportation costs in agriculture? According to the USDA, transportation accounts for less than 5% of what consumers pay for food in the united states [1]. The farm itself and labor account for 60% of the cost so even if transportation accounts for 25% of the cost of fresh produce (the USDA data is aggregated over restaurants and grocery stores), it still wouldn't make up for the cost of losing the economies of scale. Without a critical density of farmers producing the same crop in a region, many of the cost savings in automation and distribution are simply out of reach. Agriculture needs these savings more than most because of razor thin margins and natural volatility in yield.

I shop from local farmers in California all the time but they are rarely as inexpensive as SuperKing or Vons except when their produce is in season and they cut out all the grocery store middle men like the produce stands peppering the California freeways. I know that a lot of our best produce is exported because the farther they travel, the higher the profit even when accounting for transportation costs, so Id be surprised if transport is ever particularly significant. The cost of energy (electricity and fuel for equipment) is also higher than cost of transport so fuel costs will have an impact regardless of how far you move the end product.
