Isn't your statement a bit fallacious? The animals that couldn't "solve problems" aren't exactly around for us to study. The difference between the two comes down to luck doesn't it? The animal that survives is far more likely to have done the right thing by random mutation rather than some weird semi-intelligence that you are attributing to them.
I like it a lot, was looking for something like this to teach 13 with, so, thanks! Had trouble editing values in the tiles tho - backspace made the browser go back to HN and delete had no effect. This was in the most recent chrome on my ubuntu machine. Is there another way?

Not if the parents educate themselves on good parenting, which few do.

"Solid trials" would only confirm what the article I linked is saying. Have you checked it out? Today's parents can't afford to wait for studies that won't exist for decades more.

As others have pointed out, Heinlein was writing literature, not management or career advice. That said, planning a modern, distributed web service probably isn't far off in complexity from the invasions he would have been picturing.
As for dying gallantly... you're right that we'll all face it only once. Some go bitterly, some go cravenly, some 'rage against the dying of the light'. I'd say part of a life well lived is to face its end with brave, 'gallant', acceptance, whatever circumstance precipitates that end.
Some implications of the Bank of England comparing itself to the MetOffice
I think it is more than just short term rentals. It is this idea that a home represents an investment, a way to make money. People around me who buy a new house for the first time start talking about how they can't wait for it to keep increasing in value, however prior to their purchase they couldn't wait for them to decrease.

The idea that homes are just another path to making money needs to end, they are supposed to be a home for people to live in. This is what I believe is driving up prices so much these days.
I gotta do some searching but it was explained to me that at the factory they would run the engines extremely lean... like to the point they had to add additional cooling. Then when the bikes arrived at the dealer they would reflash the ECU and have it normally tuned again.

EDIT: Not exactly that... from another user "They admit that the modified bikes bypass emissions requirements, whereas the unmodified VWs didn't meet the requirements and had to cheat to pass inspection."
It's a stupid simple dashboard. A dollar a month per sensor is the very most I would consider, with maybe a minimum $20/year.

> Switzerland spends half as much as Sweden on its annual military spending as percentage of GDP (also less in absolute terms), and they can credibly stay out of NATO, so why couldn't Sweden? Geographics? I don't buy it.

I think you should go look at that map again and think about the strategic value of Sweden vs Switzerland.
That seems like reductio ad absurdum. You could argue amorality in the specific case of you vs. the octopus, in the wild, but that's now how most of us get the octopus or other animals we eat.

The instinctual human ability to mentalize about another creature's state of being is likely where our capacity to, for example, domesticate animals and keep them as a food source came from in the first place. That same ability is what enables us to consider the ethics of whether or not, or how much, to eat them.

Unless one is strictly involved in a predator-prey food relationship (i.e. hunting is your only means of procuring animal-based food), you can't separate the practice of mass-production or collection of animals for food with the "worry" about their welfare, both at an individual and population level.
Awesome. Nice to see that it was a spin out from Fog Creek as well. Well done!
Presumably poorer people (who are most relevant to this topic) won't be traveling that much, and won't have an abundance of space in their homes for a shared occupancy.
I think this seems like a terrible product, here is why:

Call 1:

AirBnB host: "Hey I've just got an alert that the noise level has gone above X decibels"

AirBnB guest: "Oh hmm it looks like the city is jack hammering the street in front of the house."

Call 2:

AirBnB host: "Hey I just got another alert about noise!"

AirBnB guest: "A bunch of fire trucks went by, there's a fire down the street"

Call 3:

AirBnB host: "I just got an alert that you unplugged my noise meter!"

AirBnB guest: "No I didn't but it looks like your internet is down."

While three of these happening consecutively is maybe unlikely just one of them occurring makes both parties uncomfortable and presents an awkward situation. And who is to say what reasonable is? A neighbor can complain even if the noise is under the threshold.

This just feels like nanny-nation to me. The real issue is that if you don't know people well enough to trust them to be respectful towards your neighbors then maybe you shouldn't be renting them your place. And yes the same can be said of renting to a longterm renter as both parties enter into the contract with no prior knowledge of the other but the difference is that long term renters generally have a vested interest in being a considerate neighbor since it is now their home.
3 important IT trends to watch in 2017–Part II
I agree it's overpriced.

However don't forget that when selling a product, lots of other costs arise. E.g. you'd need FCC certification (around 10k USD for intentional radiators) and make sure that no other standards are violated (mainly regarding mains voltage). The plastic case mold is another 3-5k. Then some margin for returns, marketing, etc.. It's a niche product, so the fixed costs make up a big part.

If it's popular someone will sell a simple DIY kit for 20$ and an open-source server. But I doubt there's much demand.
Ah, this appears to be a chrome problem -- it works fine in firefox.

Unless you're writing in Perl or javascript, almost every programming that exists is either a short English word, a person's name, or just a letter with maybe some punctuation.
When you feed them unambiguous queries like that, yes. "stdlib" is a very unique word specific to the domain of programming. Things get trickier with terms that have more overlap, and irrelevant results tend to creep further up the page.

I find it hilarious that this product exists. For so many reasons. A noise meter for your (most likely illegaly) rented apartment so your neighbors aren't bothered. I wonder how else that could be fixed... Oh right, regulations on noise and distance to housing, which every hotel has to follow, but AirBnb's litlle grey area abuse scheme miraculously gets to avoid it.
> I find the holy wars are usually fueled by "fans" -- people less invested and less knowledgable in the topic.

There seems, IME, to be a sizable contingent of people who have invested heavily in a particular technology and are threatened, in their own market value, by threats to its distribution, in most technology flamewars. They aren't necessarily less knowledgeable, but frequently prefer depth in a platform to breadth across platforms for developing their own skill set, which creates a strong incentive to promote the platform.
That's the very first thing I tried and it wasn't working at all for me earlier. Backspace was navigating to the previous page.

Can you put in concrete terms why you see this as a problem?
>So by your reasoning, all buyers are selfish just as much as all sellers are selfish.

I don't disagree with this. But I think that there is more harm that comes from the corporation to the consumer than there is from the consumer to the corporation, or at least more potential harm. And I think that arises out of selfishness that is unfortunately built into the system.

>Moral standards existed long before any regulation.

I'm sorry; I wasn't trying to make the point that moral standards have anything to do with regulation, but rather that regulation creates a "bare minimum" for the kind of behaviour expected of the participants, regardless of moral views that very much differ from person to person (and of course from sociey to society).

I think that a relationship can be cooperative, but with one side being favoured much more than the other - the capitalist who exploits a workforce. Of couse both need to cooperate - but it does not mean that such cooperation is fair. It is often accepted because there aren't fairer alternatives.

I wish for a different kind of cooperative relationship, one which I view as more equal and participatory. At the moment, I view it sort of like an EULA.
I'm a hardware engineer and grasp fully how simple this is. But cost to make in a garage != cost to make at scale. Bringing hardware to market is expensive. You are forgetting mold tooling costs, factory fees, prototype costs, profit, etc. The fixed NRE costs can go to zero at mass scale, but if they intend to only sell 1000 or so (probably a good estimate), they need to account for it somehow.
I don't understand the assertion made regarding blockchains/digital signatures supposedly increasing accuracy or trust in IoT sensor-reading reliability.

Also, how do you respond to the inevitable criticism that advertising your solution as a "shared global registry" invokes the "How Standards Proliferate" XKCD[1]?

Finally, I like the idea of creating a marketplace or exchange for AI training information, but it's strictly not necessary to use a blockchain for this purpose unless a very large portion of your users are hyper-concerned about their anonymity. It's also misleading to try to build a marketplace of signed IoT data, with the assumption that it is more trustworthy than unsigned IoT data, when that is simply false.

Former poker pro here.

Top professionals are building their strategy around game theory. They'll attempt to play in such a way that they aren't exploitable and look to deviate when they've spotted a weakness in their opponent's play.

Basically, the game theory optimal strategy is unexploitable. In every situation, the best you can do is break even by also playing the optimal strategy. If you deviate from optimal strategy, the optimal strategy will beat you, but it's possible that a strategy tailored to taking advantage of your specific deviations would beat you more quickly.

Unexploitable play typically means that you bet a size with a range of holdings that would make your opponent indifferent to all of his options (And the converse is true when facing a bet). For humans, this means that they gravitate to a few standard bet sizes, while a computer could, in theory, balance their range with much more granularity.

Last I read, for training the neural net it'll play billions+ hands against versions of itself designed to exploit various weaknesses. It'll start out by performing random actions, for example, say it'll have a 33% chance to call your bet, raise, or fold. It then starts to see that it does better when it raises your bet with the nuts and also as a bluff. Eventually, it arrives at an equilibrium strategy.

Since computers are much better at randomness than humans are, they're able to more effectively play these types of strategies and with more complexity of bet sizing. There is what's called a mixed strategy, a strategy where given a situation with the same hole cards you will call, raise, or fold to a bet with some non-zero probability. Doing that as a human is very difficult, but it's something computers manage to do quite easily.
What do you think a digital audio file is? It's a normalized history of the voltage output of a microphone.

The EU discourse is complicated, but in short: US interests and EU finances do not currently allow Europeans to develop a voice independent of NATO; and without a shared defense policy independent of US, there is little space for a shared foreign policy that can push back on this sort of topics. Ironically, what could change this state of things is the antagonistic US/UK isolationism currently on the rise.

> I also think it's a mistake to charge for a book at such an early stage when the quality of the official documentation is less than stellar. dom96 is Nim's most active evangelist on HN; if he wants Nim's adoption to take off, making the book available for free should, strategically, be a no-brainer.

Sadly I cannot do that, or at least not in the near future. My publisher holds the copyright, so unless I get explicit permission to offer the book for free this cannot happen.

Perhaps in hindsight it would have been better for me to write this book independently. But if that were the case I likely wouldn't have the motivation to get it finished.
> I think so too - for now, but it probably didn't seem that way in 1958 when they had nukes pointed at them.

Nukes were pointed at them because they've invaded South Korea first.
I agree. In the comment above I played it from two world views. The one you espouse is the same (or similar enough) as the Christian view I mentioned.

The agnostic view is there since I think, or at least assume, the majority of people on HN are agnostic. From such a view point, there is no tenable, logical reason that one should not eat meat or, in this specific case, a creature of intelligence. Such an argument comes from emotion. That's as equal as anything else in an agonistic, amoral universe. I just want to people to realize that it's a simple choice, not an absolute. Further, I prefer people coming from such a world view to ponder what they view properly. I find many pull from a Judeo-Christian ethic without realizing it. I'd like people to either break from it for a new model, or, at least, realize there is common ground between them and their theistic peers.
Oh, so playing online with access to statistical tools and analysis, so really the computer advantage for knowing the odds is completely nil. It's really only then competing in the strategy element... very interesting indeed.
This is so passive-aggressive and juvenile. If you don't like the way your company is being run, there are three acceptable options:

- Summon the courage to say something about it and brave the consequences.

- Leave the company honorably and work somewhere else (or start your own company).

- Keep your mouth shut and blow off steam at the gym, bar, or therapist like everyone else.

If you can't go to your boss or boss's boss with a legitimate problem, you took the wrong job offer.

You could argue against safety of Rust, OpenBSD, etc. with the same strawman. What it and those kernels did were creating an abstract model realistic enough to be useful, embed a safety/security policy in that model, and produce code that corresponds to that model. Older systems used what's called Abstract, State Machines which are quite easy to model-check or even analyze by hand. Typically converted to FSM's with same advantage. It was usually done by hand and eye instead of formally. In GEMSOS, the Gypsy specs mapped to code's functions/modules about 1-to-1 in most cases.

Recent efforts did it formally for things ranging from kernels to application-layer sandboxes. In case of VCC and SPARK, they do annotations on the code itself. In things like seL4, they do proofs on the code connecting it to a model. So, one can do that. It's usually not necessary since we're talking about improving the security of things over the status quo. You seem to be adding an additional requirement of totally unhackable with mathematical proof down to the hardware. AAMP7G and SSP are production CPU's close to that, esp AAMP7G. VAMP with CodeSeal & CHERI might do it, too. One academic one was proven down to the gates. They're all irrelevant as we're talking about reducing damage of an image library on regular CPU's & OS'.

You trust the Rust typesystem, compiler, and optimizations were implemented correctly enough that they'll knock out a bunch of problems. Certifying compilers like FLINT & CompCert took mountains of verification effort to pull off a fraction of that. Whereas, I'm saying one can trust 4-12Kloc or a compiler transformation connected to an abstract model fitting on a page or two might do its job with fewer problems than trusting just complex, native code in C or whatever. I also encourage mixing such TCB's with language-based security. However, such a tiny, clean, ASM-style program will have way fewer defects than a full OS or application.

It really depends on the subfield. Sequence-based genomics is very highly Perl-dependent even today. BioPerl is pretty much the standard library for that even though BioPython, etc. are beginning to take over. Other subfields such as differential sequence abundance which are more about the statistics rather than the raw sequence tend to be R-centered thanks to Bioconductor.

Most of the attacks that I'm aware of are a result of firms not deploying OS upgrades or simply installing existing security software and hiring security experts.

Target and Home Depot were hacked because they disregarded recommendations to upgrade their point of sale (POS) software from Windows XP Embedded to Windows 7 embedded or later versions. The hack used would not work on Windows 7 or later, but did work on Windows XP embedded.

A large 3 part article on the Sony hack showed they simply were not interested in spending the necessary money for software and security consulting. [1]

Democratic National Committee, Clinton Campaign, Colin Powell, were hacked by phishing, and/or not installing necessary security software.

Shareholders, at the very minimum, should insist on computer security audits the way they insist of financial audits. That would go a long way towards solving the problem.

Because current projections don't reach population levels where we exhaust the capacity of the earth, at best we'd face reduced material wealth.

Why the situation tragic? The universe does not care the sea levels or temperatures are different from what they were in 1700, just as the universe does not lament the great oxidation event which wiped out most of the species inhabiting the planet at the time.

In fact I'd argue that most humans are elated that cyanobacteria 'destroyed' the planet.
I am not a Go user, but I've been following it from the beginning. What I've observed is that since one of its design principles is simplicity, it left out features that many people think are essential for a modern programming language. This results in a lot of criticism of the language which provokes a defensive reaction that might overstate their position.

The truth is that one does not need generics. I've worked for decades in languages that don't have generics. The real question is with current software capabilities and requirements, is the convenience provided by adding generics to Go worth the cost of the added complexity. People clearly disagree, and the language designers decided "no". That's not dogma; that's engineering.

I don't think it's awesome. Sure, it may not be bad just because of the fact that it is selfish, but I do not think that capitalism produces "awesome", at least compared to theorised alternatives, solutions. In contrast to feudalism, I would agree.

I think that motivation not only sets the tone for the current transaction, but it also influences the sort of relationship that builds over time. While not immediately apparent, it has a great effect on the power dynamic of the relationship. This is readily visible in human to human relationships, and I thnk it can be carried over to the relationship between bosses and employees, the bourgeois and proletariat, etc.
The -lang suffix is widely used in the PL space (Golang, Nim-lang, Crystal-lang, etc). Programmers are required to be proficient with computers, therefore it is expected of the target audience to understand how to work with a search engine when a word is ambiguous.

There's also the fact that (at least) Google uses your private information, global search trends and whatever else to try to make a better guess of what you mean. In my case, just writing "Go" gives me back golang.org as the first result.
