>And simply letting the financial system crash would've hurt the poor and vulnerable the most. Just as I personally saw in the UK when Northern Rock went under. It was pensioners and the poor left confused and panicked who were lining up at branches not the big, fat bankers.

Those people actually got their money back whereas the "big, fat" shareholders sued for compensation in court and lost. I'd rather queue.

Letting the financial system crash and deleveraging in a disorderly manner wouldn't have been the ideal way of dealing with the crisis but it would have yielded a better outcome than the bailouts which simply provided lavish subsidies for the financial sector.

No, but it is definitely a solid solution to criminal problems, which is exactly what this is. These are most certainly criminal acts. Why should I not expect criminal activity to be charged as such?

Most criminal activity is done for profit, and that's certainly the case here. For-profit crimes have two solutions. You either make them unprofitable by fining the offender(s) more than they are making from the illegal activity or you give them a free, extended stay at the Gray Bar Motel, courtesy of the US taxpayer. I am more than happy to help foot that bill if necessary.

Research won't be done because over 20 years ago, Republicans made it illegal for federal taxpayer money to be used to study gun control.

Very little cleanly private money exists to study the issue. Universities are tainted with public funds, NGOs are tainted as well, and so on.

So what studies we do get are NRA-funded.

Although I agree that it would seem natural to have such a method in a standard container class, I would like to make a couple of observations.

First, there are containers that do have a find() method, std::map, for example (although not on a condition). It could be a wrong impression, but to me this tells something. Perhaps, if I intend to do a search, I might be better off using a different structure (rather than a list) that is more suitable for searching, or maybe a different - more efficient - algorithm (such as binary_search(), if applicable).

Second, if you use a container as a part of your own class, defining a find() method is trivial.

I have no doubt that there are other, more technical reasons for the standard library being the way it is, for example, the idea of separation of algorithms from containers by means of iterators.
Super interesting to see the population's attitude shift over time with regards to privacy.

Feels like even the HN crowd is starting to get worn down and accept this sort of thing as a fact of life. It's absolutely going to get worse, and I'm surprised TVs aren't already using their cameras to measure physical movement during suspenseful scenes, or track how many people leave the room during commercial breaks.

Of course, most non-technical end users I know 100% just don't care about this sort of thing, which bums me out. "Well, I know I'm being spied on, but if it makes my life easier then does it matter?"

Would that support an edge between b and e? That's what determines whether something like an outliner would be a good UI for it. If you need that support, then the UI becomes more difficult - you either have to "draw" the graph visually, or have a continually adapting approximation.

You can avoid seams by learning overlapping (and varied-length) chunks. If you are working on 2-bar sized chunks, then make sure you also work on 4-bar and 8-bar sized chunks, and offset the chunks by half the chunk size.

E.g. if your chunks start at bars 1, 3, 5, 7, ..., then repeat with chunks starting at 2, 4, 6 , 8..., then scale up to larger-size chunks so that you always have multiple chunks than cover up a 'seam'.

If you're living in Canada on a savings account that is in USD, then yes, you're ahead by 30%. Otherwise you're making cdn dollars and spending cdn dollars, so you don't see the 30% difference in cost of living.

And as far as I know the big companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, do pay more than market salary in Canada. Their Canadian offices are not nearly as large though, they don't influence the wages/benefits culture as much as they do in the States.
I agree. In fact, some of our biggest fans seem to be "ed tech" users, especially outside of the US.

They're notoriously hard to make money from, though. Luckily that's not a concern for us anymore. :)
Your link does not support your contention that they're refusing to collaborate with Republicans. In fact, your link describes them talking about the loopholes in the proposed legislation. This would seem to actually be cooperation in improving the legislation.

>Congressional Democrats and Republicans offered widespread agreement Wednesday that the time has finally come for the government to step in and take action to preserve net neutrality. Then again, they disagreed strongly on the shape that protection should take.

I have yet to see party-based Republican support for solid net-neutrality proposals. I have seen some proposals using the name "net neutrality" that in fact undermined it deeply.

If you give me some examples of this "my way or the highway" that's something I can push back on my congress people with.

It matters who we vote for, "the people" don't lose equally no matter who is in office. This "all politicians are bad" thing comes up frequently when criticizing them, but it's simply not true that all politicians are equal, and it's not an excuse fro their bad behavior. The difference between the Pai and Wheeler are clear and stark. And that's not to say that Pai is innately evil, he still could do some good for the internet, and some of the things he says I agree with. Wheeler was intensely criticized as a shill for cable companies when he entered, however he turned out not to be one in the least. Was it our criticism that had an effect? Who knows, but by calling him out as a former lobbyist, people were at least aware of what was going on.

Perhaps if we publicly shame Pai for his bad behavior we'll see the same thing. Let's forget whether we are a D or an R, lets focus on the policies. That's what non-partisanship is.
This is the leak that connects "sharing economy" with real economy. In a proper sharing economy (e.g. couchsurfing), you don't have compensation.
> "Less memory than Java" I can make a JVM use little memory at the cost of slowing it down.

Maybe? You also need to assign about 2x live memory to the heap in order for GC to work properly. If you give it less, you will blow your heap and crash the JVM

> I can also give it all the memory on my server and it will translate that into performance.

No, it won't.

CMS is realistically limited to about 16 GB of ram. Past that and you are going to have routine 2, 3, 4 second pauses for full GCs. G1GC is limited a bit higher, maybe 64 GB.. but again, beyond that and you are screwed. In a high performance app, routinely you limit heap usage to around 2 GB, which means you have about 1 GB of actual memory to use.

> Java's memory usage is extremely within your control so this comparison doesn't make sense.

Honestly, it sounds like you have never had to tune the JVM or run a Java app in production, so I disagree strongly with all you have said.
I wonder, could you craft a shader for tree-foliage from this?

Given the Background, and the leave texture + alpha, instead of rasterizing, anti-aliazing and then using z-baked lightsources and probe reflections to light it semi-correctly, what would a neural net implementation look like?

Even with a competent lawyer, how many will be willing to roll the dice on a trial?

Take a fairly "common" drunk in public... should be a night in jail and fine, or similar. But, a poorly trained cop was involved, so they're now adding resisting arrest (another misdemeanor) AND assaulting a police officer (felony with mandatory minimum sentencing).

Now, instead of fighting the original misdemeanor on it's merits, you're pleading guilty to it to avoid a potentially life-ruining felony.
I said it in an awkward way. The important thing is, your CP gizmo will tell you when something has gone haywire while you're using it. Your Bayes doodad might not (other than noticing errors). In particular, some very important new point may have a bad prediction associated with it, with bad error bars: CP may be of big help here. There's an example of this in page 102-106 of the original book I think.
Another good example is applying this idea to HMMs which you can read about in "Hidden Markov Models with Confidence"
Giovanni Cherubin1 and Ilia Nouretdinov

I'm not throwing poo at Bayesian models, which I think are sadly neglected these days, but with CP ideas you can get more useful results. While I think CP is useful for practitioners now, the most exciting applications are in stuff like active learning, and developing novel techniques associated with this basket of ideas.

Really, my blog kind of missed the mark. I need to do more with examples.
> We could have easily picked main street banks over wall street banks.

If there aren't any community banks, it's pretty hard to choose them. Dodd-Frank, according to many -- including Barney Frank, the "Frank" in Dodd-Frank -- had a number of unintended consequences, the largest of which was the compliance cost, which smaller banks couldn't manage.

The result of burdensome compliance, more often than not, was consolidation; couple that with the too-low threshold for what counts as 'too big' and the end result was that most community banks were too small to succeed - where we once had 18,000 main street banks in America as of 1985, we currently have fewer than 2,000.
I think if you took modern C++ (no raw pointer manipulation) and combined it with a good package manager, I think you would pretty much erase any advantages Rust offers.

I've seen this opinion now twice in short succession on HN. Issues with C++ safety aren't just a matter of a dangling pointer that should've been a unique_ptr or shared_ptr. It's massively naive to think that this would in any way be comparable to Rust.

That's not even considering the reality that no real-life C++ codebase seems to survive on those modern C++ features alone. (If it did, I presume Mozilla would've rewritten Firefox in C++11/14/17 instead of Rust. Oh wait, they already use C++11...)

Everyone throwing around "free" healthcare as a valid explanation for this wage gap needs to account for taxation levels too.

using estimates via Google:

"average programmer salary usa" -> $84,360

"average programmer salary in sweden" -> $54,264

According to http://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2012/10/focus-4, average effective taxes in the USA (including social security) are 25%... but 35% in Sweden. Even if those particular numbers are off, the point is that higher taxes may further expand the gap with lower pre-tax foreign salaries.

So the Swede keeps $35k and gets state-sponsored healthcare. The American keeps $63k and probably has decent health coverage from his employer. I'm not sure about this but I suspect that the American can use a fraction of that $28,000 difference to upgrade the health insurance to Swedish levels or better.

(There are also smaller but still significant expenses like housing, affected by property taxes, and consumption taxes like New York City's 8.875% relatively-high-for-the-USA sales tax vs Sweden's 25% VAT.)
I still think you're making a false equivalency between pixels and sub-pixels. If you look at a microscopic view of an LCD, it is not a seamless field of sub-pixels--substantial surface area is non-emitting black borders between them, but the eye merges the sub-pixels (and pixels, if sufficiently high density) into a unified light source. Adding white emitters does not inherently mean you are getting "less color" -- many factors influence the blending that you perceive. It does, presumably, mean that colors at the highest brightness levels are less saturated, but that may mean you are getting additional, less-accurate color space, without sacrificing the accuracy of the color space you already had. I have no idea if RGBW displays on the market actually have these characteristics, but your dismissal is based on a misunderstanding of the optical properties at play.
All great points. Just to put in the "con" perspective:
1. It's good money, not insanely great money for software engineering field. You can not hope to earn 200k USD as a senior engineer ever and hence even a few folks from Germany seem pretty keen to have a 4-5 year stint in the US to earn some quick bucks. (also the exchange rate nowadays is killing it for Euro). You can see the effect in terms of how much you percentage of your salary you pay as rent and from my personal experience it was a lot (close to 30-40% of your entire paycheck, some germans in not so blessed fields pay almost 50%). The social security aspects covers for it as far as you enjoy it.
2. Jobs are secure as soon as you sign a permanent contract and get over the "Probzeit" period and there are seldom any "at-will" employment contracts. The flipside? startup culture never really kicked off until recently, hiring is slow and firing is even slower(harder) leading to plenty of dead-beat employees hanging around in corner offices in some organizations. You have copy-cat IT companies like Rocket Internet whose sole business model is to copy ideas from the US and implement them in Europe. So the variety of jobs are definitely not more than what the US provides.
3. As a result, the general lifestyle is living "frugally". If you like that it's fantastic. But everything is comparatively "expensive" than the US apart from certain things like Beer. e.g. Branded clothes like Timberland, Levis etc are sold at a premium where you can get those for 40 bucks in an outlet mall in the US. So buy IKEA/H&M/C&A with your software salary.

You do have countries where salaries are high like Switzerland but you also have insanely high living costs.

AMP's v0 is 188K of JavaScript.

Google's standard analytics.js is currently 28K. If you're running AMP, the AMP compliant version of the same thing, is 64K. Neither of these block rendering and both of these run largely in the background, yet making it AMP compliant more than doubles whatever code it requires.

AMP will make progress when I can use it without actually introducing bloat.

If you (as a corporation/LLC) do business in a state but are incorporated elsewhere, you generally need to register as a foreign corporation in the state you are doing business in. This often involves franchise fees similar to opening a corporation/LLC in the state. But you only, strictly speaking, incorporate in one place (unless you want a subsidiary incorporated elsewhere for some reason.)

Maybe? Maybe not.

I have coded services in Java that would never JIT before a reboot. Python can often beat un-JITed Java.

For an IO bound tasks that is using less than 100% CPU.. again Python could be identical performance or at least very similar performance to Java.. Think of a simple rest service getting 10 hits per second. Maybe the Java service will be a few micros faster, but to a client across the internet you won't care.

Now yes you are right if you are having 900 requests per second hitting your API, the Java API will crush the Python API. Not every app or service hits that though, and I would sure rather code in Python over Java.
This is promising and is a good start towards IOT precedent, and perhaps even operating systems of our devices (Windows 10).

I was actually working on the casino floor for a year and configured, repaired, diagnosed, and twiddled with these machines all day. It was a terrible job, but gave me something to do while hunting for my next IT adventure.

Other interesting observations: the machines based on Windows XP Embedded crashed all the time, the Linux ones were fine.

The Linux ones from several mfrs used APNG for the slot machine graphics. This was my first exposure to animated PNGs in the wild. (~2007)

The Linux machines loaded a kernel module at boot that was supposed to prevent/detect tampering with memory. Some also loaded their own audio driver stack which surprised me: wasn't ALSA or OSS. Very odd, specialized little machines. (Many were Pentium 3 with totally custom motherboards due to strange peripherals)
