It is simply not true that that a good must be "inferior" to be a Giffen good (unless you adopt a special meaning of inferior, which since it's not necessary to do, I won't agree to). The classic example (thought experiment, without regard to whether it actually happened) is potatoes in poverty stricken Ireland: a poor person's diet would be mostly potatoes (inexensive Econ-Utility (compared to steak): calories, fills the belly) with some meat a few meals a week (expensive Econ-Utility: protein, iron, B vities, tasty, "not potato", even a touch Vebleny)

So, arbitrary budget example, let's say $20 at the grocery gets you $15 potatoes every day and $5 of steak 1 days a week. If the price of potatoes goes up, you need to reduce something, but you need to eat every day so you can't reduce potatoes, so you reduce your steak consumption, but now you have some extra money which you spend on even more potatoes. Price of potatoes went up, consumption of potatoes went up. <-- there is already a theoretical problem there, you could reduce steak just enough to keep potatoes equal, so let's just say you can buy a steak or not buy a steak, no half steaks, OK? just trying to make the point "what is a Giffen good", and not trying to prove whether Giffen goods exist or not.

So, potatoes are not "inferior" to steaks, both are requirements for a balanced diet; I supposed a technical econ-definition of inferior could be designed to mean something along the lines of "inferior is defined to rule out your example, aaight"

In any case, while Giffen goods probably can't exist in a market for any length of time, the concept is completely understandable as a short-term reasonable thing that occurs: I go to the store with cash intending to buy an "assemble your own" burrito with guac, the price of beans went up, I don't have the cash at hand now to get the guac, but it's not a burrito at all without the beans, so I leave out the guac... but turns out by leaving out the guac, I can get a larger size burrito: consumption of beans just went up at the same time as the price. This effect happens for sure... does it happen enough to counteract the people who would leave out the beans and keep the guac? Can the "substition of beans for guac" function always be seen seen to be continuous and differentiable? <-- perhaps not, burrito shops like to have overly expensive add-ons for 2nd order price discrimination, so the price of guac might very well be "quantized" at an absurdly high level, and does that make beans not a Giffen good? ...

my point is, the way you guys are arguing this is leaving too much out, can't be answered and wikipedia at this level of analysis is too unreliable.
Not terribly surprising. But looks like the system manages to handle
them pretty well - the paper shows that the probability of getting
blocked is up to ~80% after 5 personal attacks.

I've never worried too much about that kind of incivility or 'abuse' -
I've always been far more worried about the 'abuse' which takes the
form of deleting contributions, which, because it can be justified and
rules-lawyered and is not as clearcut as 'you suck', the system does
not handle well and culturally encourages.

"Tails/Whonix/especially-Qubes are not because people need their stuff to actually work and to not spend more of their time fighting their computer than doing their jobs; "

lol? what kind of statment is this.. u can easily get work done on these. if your fighting your computer then technology isnt for you. qubes is stupid easy to use, tails in plug in and go. whonix especially with the auto installers now are even more click and go. where are you hearing people say they cant do work with these. thats literally outragious. security is not google i can tell u that for a fact. secuirty is not something u compromise with. as far as email, pgp isnt hard, and even proton mail makes it stupid easy. if its that big of an issue use something like ECS email where u dont need to deal with pgp but u still get security

Ask HN: expedited iTunes review, what does it mean?
Last week we submitted an application for review to the iTunes store and it was approved within a day. We later found a bug in the app, and decided to submit it through expedited review process. It's been more than a day and it still waiting for the review. What's the point of the "expedited" then? Should I just use a normal review process to get better results next time?
The "brainwashing" part is not related to the repetition, but the way you "acquire" the information, "acquire" on the sense of taking it for yourself.
If you learn something through repetition, it's a good thing, it is learning.
If you're fooled by repetition, then it's brainwashing.
Also important to note, that quite often, the one that fools you is yourself.
Now to distinct between "being fooled" and "learning". I would say that learning comprises understanding, while being fooled only comprises agreement. Thing is, defining "real understanding" is a pretty hard problem.
This article is biased towards desktop environments, but misses embedded.

Lots of RTOSes are POSIX compliant for things like Pthreds and file systems. Off the top of my head, VxWorks, RTEMS, INTEGRITY, and QNX all have POSIX compatability.
What audience is that? Who are these people relevant to? Microsoft isn't holding back anything, they can't force these people to update their software. If everyone keeps supporting them, they never will have a reason to update.
I'm not really seeing it. It's a motto on an old coat of arms. This is like saying 'imagine some random immaterial thing in 1775 being really important in 1861 or 2016'. I can imagine it but assigning some profound meaning or significance to it seems like a bit of a retcon.
Maybe they have the weekend off?
It may in fact be self-selecting.

Out of the total corpus of people, there are some who would be abusive if anonymous, however they have enough 'social awareness' to not behave that way when real names are used.

However, there are another subset of this group who lacks the social awareness to curb their abusive behavior even though they are using their real names.

By enforcing a "no anonymity" policy, you filter out the first group effectively but wind up increasing the percentage make-up that the second group has in the overall community.

Thanks for pointing that out. Here's a snippet about it:

> This is a comprehensive account of the semantics and the implementation of the whole Lisp family of languages, namely Lisp, Scheme and related dialects. It describes 11 interpreters and 2 compilers, including very recent techniques of interpretation and compilation.
Best tests. Easily done in the waking world (which is which?) Without looking like an idiot. 1. Lightswitches, they dont work right in dreams, shading is hard. 2. Clocks, or digital readouts. Time has no refrence and displays are oddly hard. 3. Hands. You do not know the back of your hand. Might be why so many people stare at their hands on psychedelics.
> I was there at the time. It was just an effort to get all of the Unix vendors on the same page so that the big commercial non-Unix OS vendor and their salespeople wouldn't eat the lunch of the high end workstation and server market.

Precisely.

Additionallly, criticizing the technical merits of an international standard established in 1997 is a disingenuous ordeal. If anyone actually has any meaningful and tangible technical issue to point out regarding POSIX, they should simply put forth an implementation that actually addresses the issues and use it as a basis for a discussion to update the standard.

Standards are meant to be used as references, and therefore are meant to be updated when the need arises.
Learning is repetition. Exercises. Flash cards. Midterms followed by exams. You either hear the argument once and you repeat it to yourself, or you get the argument spoon fed multiple times, but the bottom line is the same. Without repetition there is no memorization or internalization, and no learning can take place.

Phrasing the challenge as "sound enough logic" puts the burden of proof in the wrong place. It implies that whenever you're not persuaded it's the fault of the other person for not being persuasive enough. That's the opposite of open-mindedness. It is exactly because of the presumption that your current beliefs are true that you won't change your mind as easily as you might think. Even Scientologists say they'll leave the church if somebody could just provide them with evidence it's all baloney, but it's a standard of proof nobody can meet.

When I say all persuasion is repetition, it's really not an overstatement. Maybe you're closer to believing me this time ;-)
Regarding DigitalOcean VPNs, I think enough people have been doing this that it is starting to show in unpleasant ways. While using my DO VPN I've encountered captchas while using YouTube, of all sites, likely because of abuse they've seen at the hands of DO VPN users. I've also seen my DO IP range outright banned by other sites.
That's more plausible.

I assume also room and board are "free".

In my experience, they usually do approve the apps even over the weekend.
Oh, I see your point, perhaps the "expedited" is a different team and they may have the weekend off? I wish I knew that. I would have definitely submitted as regular.
It's funny, I knew how to do that when I borked my systems back in 2004 only because the Gentoo installation instructions were like that.
I welcome this move. It will stop their articles being posted here and in other forums, we simply can't read them. While WSJ does have good content, I will not pay for it and this will make sure it doesn't trick me into clicking links and have to close browser.

On other hand, for their business to continue to grow, they need to come up with way to show us that content somehow, maybe not the one they charge for but something that can display excellence.

Good examples would be ArsTechnica and Nautilus.
The thing that is lacking is a review for products and not a clear track record for what a person has accomplished.

You're very lucky to be new to this! If you have success with div and flexbox for everything, then I'm guessing you're not supporting old IEs. You're lucky to have skipped the years of pain in which flexbox simply wasn't an option (for many devs that have to support IE it's still not).
Thank you for this !!

HTML and XML for describing documents also never took off; they are largely generated from something else rather than hand-edited.

Thus, no structural, recursive syntax for document editing has "taken off".

Word processing is still done in Microsoft Word by most of the planet. HTML e-mails are written in some WYSIWYG client program. Web forums use variations on markdown (with raw HTML only as an escape hatch).

People do work with *ML by hand, but largely reluctantly.

If you do have to roll up your sleeves and work with the serialized syntax, you're far better off it its is S-expresions.

Is there an easy way to enable DNS over OpenVPN? That appears to be the biggest hole in this tutorial. Untrusted networks get to observe/spoof DNS, and the clients can't use the LAN DNS server to find stuff behind the firewall. (Or am I missing something?)
My coworker has worked a lot with AWS:

"When Armageddon strikes and all of humanity is extinct, the last one to survive has to switch the AWS status flag to 'Red'"
Probably similar for any other popular VM provider. Many webmasters, for example, block AWS IP ranges because there tends to be a lot of abusive traffic, crawlers, etc, from there.

Going with a smaller company for a VPS intended for use as a VPN is a good idea.
For the Alice experiment most jobs are IO limited. Although throughput should be improved by run 3 via backend changes (I hope so at least, currently doing my MSc. thesis on exactly that...).

Simulations are compute heavy, but analysis tasks vary, with the speed of a modern processor future analysis is still likely to be IO/bandwidth limited. The ratio of RAM to core on the test server I have access to is 128/20 so 6.4 GiB per core.

But for (future) analysis the plan is to use, or at least try to use, shared memory and grouping users tasks together based on the required data (They speak of an analysis train with wagons). So a large part of the ram requirements, namely the backing data, should be shared among the cores. I think ideally there will be a top-level scheduler for each node which tries to minimize the required bandwidth (but that is outside the scope of my work so who knows how it's implemented). With a few "best practices" it should be possible for most analysis to consume a 'reasonable' amount of memory at any given time in that case.
Ask HN: How do you evaluate programming languages/frameworks?

>just free sites like (bleh) Slate and (unbelievably bad) cable news web sites like CNN.

I feel genuinely sorry for you. I can't imagine reading that every single day. That's a lot of exposure to, quite frankly, a whole lot of clickbait. Don't NYT and WaPo have a limited amount of free pageviews per day?

Come to think of it, there are millions of people in the world whose primary source of news is social media like Facebook, Twitter (both news from your own circle), and Reddit (probably the worst offender? Clickbait titles generate likes, news that a small majority dislikes gets hidden).

[I had written a rather lengthy bit of text about how that's all a pretty good thing, still. Far better than hearsay and an inability to verify national broadcasting, and let's not forget that HN falls in the above category as well and I enjoy this. But this summary says much the same as the very lengthy text.]

Personally I regularly read the Economist. The additional audio format is nice; completely ad free news and you can speed up the less relevant bits. It focuses on some of the more impactful events in the world, which sometimes gives me just enough time in the week to even read news about Africa. Besides, as it is a weekly, it expands on topics in the way that sometimes I'll not bother reading the dailies when something tragic happened. Preferring to wait until Sunday to have some of the speculation filtered out.
Also a company subscription to NYT, FT, and some less known ones.

That's also a way to analysis paralysis though; sometimes you think about it, make a list of steps, put the first on your to do list, and so on.

Later you find that the first five steps could in fact have been done in ten minutes total without deep thoughts required.

And abundant evidence indicates that (most) corporations will do everything within their power to take advantage of this fact, unless very strongly regulated.

Blind allocation?

When I joined Google I was given 4 teams in 2 different locations to choose. I had lunch with each of the teams, and chose the one that better suited my style.

To be fair, your experience at Google will depend a lot on what team you land in. Not everyone's given a choice, but now I know better: Talk to your recruiter and make them clear what you want.
This. I tried a DO OpenVPN in my daily mobile usage and got captchas everywhere. Also the throughput was not that great. Happily paying for F-Secure now.
I didn't even apply until finding a team I was really excited about. I had coffee with a couple TPMs and managers, found the right group, applied, and have been really happy. The median tenure of the folks I work with is 5 years, and so far it's been great.
That's a great addition, thank you.
>> Other people have visited the Pirahã and done experiments with them. It is true
that they do not understand counting, for example [1][2],

Those are not "other people". The first reference is a paper where Everett is
one of the authors and the other is a paper from a collaborator of Everett:
the author even studied the Piraha and their arithmetic skills while living with
the Piraha along with the Everetts. Show me a paper on the Piraha language
that has nothing to do with Everett and that duplicates Everett's findings.

>> The Chomskyan side of the argument has also been characterized by moving the
goalposts and formal incoherence. See for example [3].

I don't think that reference means what you think it means. Actually I think
it means exactly the opposite:

What I can say, what I have said, with most certainty is what recursion is
supposed to stand for within the theory Chomsky has constructed—with
remarkable consistency, I should add.

Which is what I've also heard before from critics of Chomsky in general (frex,
I believe Alex Clark has said similar things, but I might be wrong). Chomsky
himself has been remarkably consistent, to the point he sounds like a broken
record, regarding what recursion in language means.

Whether "his side" (other linguists of his school) has been more or less
consistent, I don't know but in any case I'm more interested in the fact that
Daniel Everett seems to be a complete and utter sleazebag who is unashamedly
taking advantage of a peoples who can't really speak for themselves (because
he's standing in the way!) to further some obscure personal agenda.

>> Other linguists have also independently claimed that other languages lack recursive embedding, for example Riau Indonesian, so the claim about Pirahã is not isolated or crazy a priori.

I hadn't heard of Riau Indonesian, so I looked it up in wikipedia and I could not find anything about it lacking recursive structure. Instead it "is considered by linguists to have one of the least complex grammars among the languages of the world,[citation needed] apart from creoles, possessing neither noun declensions, temporal distinctions, subject/object distinctions, nor singular/plural distinction."
This sounds similar to the more cleverly named FreeBSD Depenguinator project which could be written over top of a remote Linux server replacing it with FreeBSD, without console.

If you have remote console access, a similar thing can be done for OpenBSD by dd(1)'ing a miniroot ramdisk install image.
That's not true. The parking lot moats discourage density and make walking a real chore. The lack of density makes public transport less economical. Allocating enormous amounts of space to parking virtually guarantees that more people will drive.
You sound like a libertarian.

Sorry, it was late and I didn't want to write a more substantive response.

The issue here is that politics are unavoidable. Being more data-driven is just another way of running your political process. And yes, it's a better way as long as you know its limitations. Collecting data and sifting through it to extract useful information takes time, creative thinking, and even "instinct" to figure out the right questions and hypotheses. Furthermore if you're going to collect data on dev workflow you better not have incentives there for employees or they will be gamed.

One of my pet peeves is technical people who worship so strongly at the altar of rationality that they are blind to their own biases. Even the most guileless and logical engineer still has an emotional life and worldview that forms the building blocks of what turns into "politics" when you get a large group of people together.
I've gone as high as I could before the body load became truly threatening. That's around 5-6g of cubensis, or 50mg of 4-AcO-DMT. Psilocin and its analogs tend to cause hypothermia for me that gets worse as dosages increase. Freezing cold yet sweating profusely. Muscles unable to keep still. At that level, it's a struggle for me to stay conscious and not black out. I have to move constantly to avoid that. It ceases to be enjoyable beyond 2-3g or 20-30mg here; low visuals there but amazing euphoria. Though to be honest, the constant nausea ruins regular mushrooms regardless of dosage.

I think there's just something off with me and visual hallucinations. I've gone as high as 1.5g on dextromethorphan, and the most I've gotten there was seeing the vague outline of what looked like my room while my eyes were closed, or seeing a grayscale wall that seemed to go up forever. Sometimes with eyes open it seems like in the darkness there's a shadowy silhouette of some other place, but the second I try to focus on it, the illusion breaks. Much more boring than the description sounds.

Note that I'm only 150lbs, too. So it's not a mg/kg dosing issue.

> I agree 100% about the visual depictions though. Never gets close.

It makes me wonder if they're just trying to give a good show for the viewers, like the way they portray computer hackers and such. Or if the people making these depictions have just never in their lives tried psychedelics themselves. Probably the former.
