I argue against tolling as a means of traffic congestion management from the same motivation: I don't actually care how rational it might be, I just can't stomach the idea of creating more opportunities for rich people to buy their way out of hassles the rest of us will continue to be stuck with. Emotionally, I'd rather we just left the highways un-tolled and congested, so at least we all suffer equally.

Building a better microbial fuel cell–using paper
When you're playing blackjack or craps, with physical devices whose odds are quite likely what they appear to be, "can't do math" might be a fair criticism. But when you're playing an underspecified game against a mysterious algorithm, doing math isn't really an option and all that's left is whether or not you trust the establishment.

He's also playing the short game. Sucking up to Trump is a smart business move when you're in industries that could be adversely affected by a relaxing of energy regulations or a reduction in funding for space programs.

Just a shame Musk doesn't own up to it.
That would depend on what they did and who they are, no? I hope nobody feels a nano-second sorry for a gang member, for example, but I would totally be willing to allow a kid who shoplifted to pay restitution and do community service/house arrest.

It's funny that you mention the Japanese.

I don't know if you were around in the 80's but, if you were and have some memory, this song that we are listening now, should be familiar to you.

And it seems to me that, yes, there is a standard for developing a country's economy: you build and industrial base. For that you need importing technology and knowledge. For that you need foreign currency. So, you sell the job of your people. By the way, what you don't do, if you are clever, is follow the IMF advice.

The whole bottom 2/3 of your post I largely agree with. But it also veers off-topic of the issue of inherited wealth. I'm not criticizing private ownership, rather the non-economic transfer of it. I totally get the impulse -- I want to give my children the advantages they need, just like everyone else.

But I also recognize that this creates a tremendous hazard of unearned privilege. We have to acknowledge the fact that it allows us to tip the scale in favor of our own offspring -- and against those of the less successful. And when I consider the fact that the less successful often had less successful parents, I'm confronted with the reality that success is inseparable from unearned privilege in a society where there a large intergenerational transfers of capital.

To critique a couple of your specific points:

> Because money is not a self-renewing resource [...]

But it is. For a large enough fortune, you can easily live off part the interest, and let the rest compound. If your family tree grows geometrically, eventually the fortune runs out, but who cares at that point? Already, it's been wasted on a couple generations of people who lucked into it.

> the well-off do risky things like give some teenagers $100k [...]

I'm not criticizing investment. If there were no inherited wealth, there would still be excess capital in the hands of living people that needs to be invested. And the wealth of the deceased could be put towards investment in a whole bunch of possible ways.

> if we truly believe someone is a genius who outputs unparalleled ideas, granting them a multi-generational monopoly [...] actively discourages those geniuses from contributing more for the remainder of their lives.

Totally agree :). Applying capitalism to capitalists. Crazy idea!
Ask HN: How do you collaborate on data-science?
After reading the Airbnb blog about their new Knowledge Repo [1] it seems that its difficult for data-science teams to work efficiently together; that there are issues with reproducibility and discoverability of others work.

Nvidia  Announces Quadro GP100 – Big Pascal Comes to Workstations
That would still be losing weight(mass). The problem in this thread is that people are considering fat loss and weight loss to be the same thing. They're not. The simple truth is that a caloric deficit will always result in a net decrease in mass. This is fundamentally true of any system. Energy being removed from a system always results in a decrease in mass of that system. This is physics 101. Eating a caloric deficit will always cause a reduction in mass, though it may not be the mass you want to reduce. Eating at a caloric deficit without providing the body with the proper balance of macro-nutrients and exercise could lead to reductions in muscle, bone, and connective tissue mass. Reduction of carbohydrates in one's diet generally has a net positive effect in a caloric deficit due to the fact that there is essentially "more room" in the diet for higher quality nutrients such as proteins and fats. That said, cutting carbohydrates out entirely is a terrible idea as they are the body's primary source of short term energy.

Rakudo has JSON support built in, and Rakudo Star, the example batteries-included dist, has two additional JSON modules - and ships zef for module management, replacing panda.

The ecosystem is still young, and "not ready" is a perfectly reasonable point of view, but you're using definitions of core/official that don't really apply - rakudo is the base compiler, not a complete release.
People pick up on what you do, including supplied examples, not what you say.

It absolutely is a competitor for the A320 / 737 over medium-range routes, in fact it uses the same engines as the latest A320Neo.

Yes, its notional capacity is 25 - 30 less than the maxed-out all-coach configuration mid-tier variants from Airbus and Boeing, but that's just five seat-rows. The list price is about $30 million cheaper, though, which goes a long way to balancing slightly higher seat-mile costs.

It does have shorter range than the equivalent models from A & B, but that's perfectly fine for many airlines. Hauling around that extra structure and tankage for un-needed extra range actually costs money.

The slot in question an Aristocrat MAV500 mark VI is 32-bit and is no longer in production.

Newer slots are 64-bit and have larger virtual reels.

Political Science & Democracy Management

AFAIK there's little to no innovation in this field aside from the occasional electronic voting machine, whose security may or may not be totally un-hackable.

In a day & age where the internet reaches every home, & there's a web browser in nearly everyone's pocket, it shouldn't be that difficult to effectively discern the will of the people. But we're still depending on manual polling, which as the recent US election has shown, is woefully inaccurate. Why are these still done on the phone? Why do people still have to physically go to a neighborhood voting location? Why are elected officials still allowed to make empty promises while campaigning with no follow-through once they're in office?

These are solvable problems which I'd imagine technology can indeed address.
>Steal, murder, take what you can, behave well only when someone forces you to?

And the US is forcing China to. I'm not trying to hold one side up as some kind of moral victor. Yea China's doing the same thing the US would in their position. This isn't some kind of moral equivalency contest.

Your post is the equivalent of Trump excusing Putins behavior because the US has done some pretty bad stuff too.
Well, the car companies and other companies need to open up offices where tech workers want to live as some firms have already done. Sorry, but a lot of tech people don't necessarily want to live in Detroit or parts of Michigan. They do want to live in SF, Boston, NYC, DC.
> I have read here, sometime, from someone, crime statistics are based on a survey in the UK ( instead of relying on the police ).

Both. There are official statistics from the police and Crown Prosecution Service about number of cases reported, investigated, charged and outcomes, but there is separately a survey, which gives important additional information about whether or not people feel it worth reporting crime.
I worked on Perl 5 projects professionally for about 15 years, then switched to a new job that uses Node.js. I enjoyed coding in Perl 5, but it was hard to find and retain Perl 5 developers. Our later hires preferred to code in C#, Python and Ruby-- This was before Node.js took off. Looking at language trajectories on http://modulecounts.com/ The momentum that JavaScript has compared to Perl is amazing-- CPAN growth is relatively flat, JavaScript growth is skyrocketing. JavaScript has it's own warts, but for web projects with smaller teams, having the frontend and backend in the same language is big benefit. As much as I enjoyed the Perl language and community, I can't foresee recommending it for team web projects in the near future.
Seriously Canada... Seriously! Stop being nice.
I think the reaction arose because of the person being put on the spotlight would not have been so if she have been a male. Meritocracy being part of the dev culture, promoting somebody achieving regular stuff because of the gender is ill-perceived.

It's like when you go to a conference, and half of the talks are a promoted minority of some sort but they are not that good. You feel cheated.

The fact is there are women doing great work and talks. Make noise about them. Or you loose credibility.

This is an awfully US-centered way of interpreting the comment, which completely misses the real play. The comment was made while visiting Australia, and this article is in Australian media. Furthermore, China isn't looking to get into outright war with the US, for all the reasons listed in sibling comments.

What Ma (/China) is really doing is capitalizing on the fear in US allies that the US will now hold back military support. This is a negotiation happening with Australia, to gain trade terms favorable to China. China is reminding Australia that they are within China's sphere of influence, and that it is Australia who must work to stay on good terms with China.

For context, I'm a USian and think Trump is duplicitous and incompetent, but sympathize with why he was elected. The problem with the TPP was the same problem with our entire political landscape - it mostly consisted of prudent trade terms, but packaged with a bunch of corporate-pushed corruption. It's designed to be against our own interest to defect (game theoretically), but people are getting quite fed up with the scam.

> it's commercially recognized as so restrictive it is an effective tool to make people pay for your software.

How does it do that?

Speaking from personal experience, there are multiple companies making tens of millions a year from selling products based on my GPL'd software. In every case, they have additional proprietary work in addition to the GPLd software that makes a "product", and not just a "tar.gz" download.

There are companies offering free downloads of GPLd versions of their software, and paid downloads of their proprietary software.

And nothing forces a company to use GPL software. If they don't like the GPL license on my software, they're free to write their own, or find a BSD licensed replacement.

A lot of the anti-GPL complaints I've seen amount to "I can see the software, but I can't use it under terms of my choosing, so I'm mad at the authors for choosing a 'bad' license." Which seems to be the case here.
Without trying to defend the merits of the language: I've watched the videos and those presentations were entertaining and nothing more. It's essentially well received trolling. The presenter knows the language so poorly that he conflated some core concepts as well as mixing up the distinction of issues in libraries versus in the language itself.

Really. There's lots of things wrong with Perl (all versions) and the same can be said about any other language. Alas these talks are among the worst put together criticisms I've seen so far.
I'd be happy, but happier if it came without the hyperbole (personally).

> AGPL licenses aren't transitive, things that touch AGPL'ed software over the network aren't suddenly required to be AGPL licensed (otherwise the whole purpose of it would fall apart, since a large chunk of the initial design was for Free Software web-applications which could still be run in proprietary web browsers).

That is not necessarily true in the case of the database due to how the drivers work. This would need to be tested in court. It's unclear by the license terms alone.
IANAL but there are a few things in this matter that seem to be common knowledge. How these things will apply to a specific instance is for lawyers to discuss. The law, at least in Nevada, does defer to the casino's right to do business with whomsoever it chooses. The law does not permit the casino to beat a card counter up (like in the movie "Casino") but they can insist that such a customer leave and never come back, and in those cases at least in Nevada, when such a customer tries to return, they may become a trespasser [1].

Sure, I just don't think we should make broad claims about the will of the people vs. consent to govern in broad way. To put another way, Americans may be happy to say they are against regulations, but yet still may favor a particular regulation if it was brought up in a poll.
That's confusing.

To use an analogy, imagine if someone wrote: "$1.5M B" instead of 1.5 quadrillion or 1,500,000,000,000,000. You'd be confused, and rightly so. A lot of people would mistakenly read it either as $1.5M or $1.5B, neither of which is right.

In this case a lot of people are misreading it as 1.5 GB/Day instead of 1.5 PB/Day.

PS - The way Google uses it in the Blog post is pretty clear, they're describing what a petabyte is. My issue is with the HN title only.
Well you don't develop modules for a language yet to be released.
- I like something

- that something has been achieved but there's been a steady development toward other things that I don't like

- that's why I'm not happy with the status quo and (perhaps) I would like things to return or be reduced to that thing I like

I don't think that's silly at all, leaving aside my personal view on this.
No, they are suggesting that masculine activities change over time just like all of culture has, for all of time.

Given the mens-rights flavored text in your original, I doubt you are actually looking for engagement here, but giving you the benefit of that doubt: Defining "masculinity" in ways that start to sound like "how much better things were when I was a kid" is an almost certain sign you are being superficial in your analysis. If you dig in a little bit (and there is a ton of interesting writing on this and related) you'll find there is a lot to learn.

To your particular scenario: I know men who spend time with kids programming robots. Are they somehow less masculine than other men I know spending time woodworking with kids? Or others who spend time cooking and baking with kids?

If you believe they are, please defend. Honestly, I'd like to hear the reasoning because it sounds laughable to me.
Having just picked up this very book I appreciate the caution, however I will point out that K&R's tome - while perhaps not the definitive guide to style, is an approachable, brief overview of the C language for those of us who took it in high-school prior to C99 and have since been re-exposed to C through Arduino IDE and OpenSCAD.

The O'reily cow book covers C99 and is a good companion.
I was responding to the comment and not the article. Still what I've written also applies to sys admins. You can see it in the evolution of the position from sys admin to dev ops. Sys admins / dev ops now need to know how to program, use something like chef, ansible, salt or puppet. You also have to learn kubernetes, docker or some other container now. You still need to be constantly learning as a sys admin unless you want to become obsolete.

As a resident of Seattle, I'd really rather not have the US' missile defenses tested.
It's dangerous to assume the contrapositive of this claim is actually true (war doesn't start if trade doesn't stop). The best example of this is World War 1 Europe. It was held as common knowledge then that a world war could never possibly break out because of how interdependent the European economies were becoming. Nobody was going to kill the golden goose over some silly land dispute. We all know how that turned out, and it had nothing to do with whether jobs were being created or destroyed.

If the contrapositive isn't true, then the original claim may not hold any actual weight.

Dan Carlin talks about this in his Hardcore History podcast and does a great job telling the story of WWI, definitely would recommend.

> Sure, it would be better if it were truly a game of chance, I guess that's too difficult to deliver (and verify) at this point.

No - this could be done fairly simply using components that are already available on the consumer market - all you'd need is a simple geiger counter and a radiation source (Americium, like in a smoke detector). Heck, you could go simpler with a transistor - google "transistor random noise source" - plenty of examples out there.

> Or, perhaps, the casinos prefer it this way of course.

This is probably the key. With a real random noise source, you probably couldn't easily figure odds and such (then again, how do they do this with regular games?)...
"For the 21st-century kids stuck in the back seat of that car, trains are noisy, antiquated, and irredeemably boring..."

Having been to a model railroad show or two, every model train/town/yard is a model from the 1950's, 1940's or 1930's. Nowhere did I see any bullet trains or maglevs or modern cities being modeled. I always found this depressing, as if the hobby only had a past but not a future.
By which you mean, coming to fruition?

I'm not the biggest fan of Uber on a number of issues but I think the biggest problem they have is that their investors were planning on having a monopoly on livery. That is clearly not going to happen. Flying cars and self driving cars are actually significantly more sound than their business model and are much more likely to provide a decent ROI. If and when Uber runs out of steam and its assets are liquidated the most valuable part will be research.

Lets check back on this in 10 years.

I think that the odds of walking out of a casino with equal to or more than you walked into it is less than 40%. My stats knowledge is failing me right now but if you start with $100 and feed slots at $12/m after an hour the average person should have less than $50 remaining based on the house cut in the article (7.129%).

It would be interesting to see what the likelihood of being up after an hour of regular play is by different common games.
