One significant thing that you are missing is a sense of making good on past misdeeds. Europe owes it's economic power to centuries of fucking over Africa, the Middle East, and Asia. And when they de-colonised those places, they set up systems to keep them fucked up. So when you see refugees trying to escape those places, there is a sense of duty to them.

A clear case of this is Syria, which is in the shitter because of the Western destruction of Iraq fifteen years ago. Before the US went in, a number of critics were saying that the US had no exit plan and that removing Hussein would massively destabilise the region - both turned out to be true. So when millions of refugees stream out of there, "our side did that to them".

Another thing you're missing is that Europe still has in living memory the scars of what happens when you're divided rather than unified. We don't have the pain of nazi occupation and collaboration here in Anglotown. WWII had not only country against country, but neighbour against neighbour, and we Anglos have absolutely no idea of what that was like. The same thing happened more recently in '90s former Yugoslavia. European unity is about more than free trade.
Tech startup questions why Nigerian engineer was detained at JFK
I've always thought of it this way (since my 20s or so):
1. If I died today, would I have any regrets?
2. If I live to be 100+, would I be a burden on society?

I make decisions with the goal of being able to answer no to both of those questions. I'm in my mid 40s. I don't always get it right, but I feel the thought exercise is very helpful.
What about municipal corporations?
That's not how you use languish.
Without also reforming healthcare up front, that would move a lot more people into the "y'know what, I'm better off without health insurance" bucket, which would accelerate breakdown of the health insurance market.

But I don't see why that would create the political will for anything to get fixed, given that it isn't being fixed already.
> it makes sense for library authors to be able to make an explicit decision as to whether or not their dependencies are going to be a part of their backwards compatibility contract or not

Absolutely. But as soon as those are required in order to use your library, shouldn't they be included?

> If library A had exposed library B to its consumers as part of a public interface, that would be a breaking change, but it wouldn't be if they hadn't.

Maybe I should have refined my original post. I guess it was way too long.

The hyper crate exposes `hyper::header::Vary`. To create a `Vary::Items` in my program, I also need to `use unicase::UniCase`. See the short example at [0].

It felt odd to me that I was required to have my own dependency on unicase when it seems like an internal issue for how Hyper represents the Vary header.

I have little experience with these dependency management systems. This seems like an irrelevant detail (they look just like strings to me! why doesn't it just take strings!) requiring me to explicitly include an unrelated package. I may have no other need for the unicase package.

Is this a normal thing, though? Since unicase is required in order to use this feature of hyper, shouldn't it just come along with it? Or the Vary item could just use Strings on its public interface so the user doesn't have to go through this extra work?

Memcached monitoring without changes to application code
A retiree's advice to the young
I think the idea is that `foo::something()` without a module declaration either implies the existence of `foo.rs`, or fails to compile. I'd agree that it would be bad if creating `foo.rs` changed the behavior of code that was previously doing something else (other than breaking the build).

What would happen, I think, is that adding a `mod foo { ... }` definition would change the behavior of code that previously implicitly referenced a `foo.rs` file. But that seems less crazy to me, since you've got a change in one file affecting something else in that same file. Or it might make sense for that to be a "conflicting module definitions" error.
See above. The constant is (a) not pi, and (b) not an exact decimal representation of any binary floating-point number.
A "macro" in C is not the same thing as a "macro" in Rust. By your logic, Erlang processes aren't processes because they aren't kernel processes, or Go packages aren't packages because they don't use the Java package naming convention. Nobody owns the exclusive right to define the words we use.
And here I thought that's just teenagers "who fit the techno-libertarian or cypherpunk mentality", and only until they finally grow up.

The mindset you're describing is pretty self-centered and ignorant of how societies work. The law is there to reconcile conflicting interest so that people don't start using violence to pursue their goals. Techno-libertarian teenagers should imagine what would happen if some people they disagree with contracted that libertarian spirit.

On the contrary, there is no marketplace of ideas. These people are so insular that they'll hang on to their dogma no matter what criticism is leveled against them. They're fundamentally wrong, not just misguided. Case in point, the IAT.

Strawman.
I doubt Uber is going to hire you if your goal is to change its business policies. Voting as a shareholder is also not the same as voting as a citizen. Everyone has the right to vote as a citizen, only the right h shareholders in Uber have the right to vote as a shareholder.

Additionally, the problems like gerrymandering still appear in different forms in corporate structures. Often times founders have majority control of the company in the form of different shares. While this is good for the founders, this is bad for anyone else who doesn't like the direction of the company.
More lanes creates the perception that it is easier to drive than take other modes of transportation, so more people set up their lives around car ownership, taking cars everywhere, etc.
Major manufacturers -- like Intel, AMD or ARM -- have spent years upons years developing methodologies, technologies, micro-architectural optimizations, and testing+development+evaluation infrastructure. This is the key for understanding how to navigate and ensure good performance across the many different trade-off and optimization domains in performant-processor design.

This is not easy to acquire or build. Some is wisdom from decades of design and iteration. Some is hundreds of thousands of engineering hours. Some is big money.

That's not a very high standard. You haven't refuted my point, just said "well, they're not the absolute worst".

I got the impression the diversity the newsletter referred to was identity, rather than cognitive.

It seems harder to judge cognitive diversity. Maybe something like openness as a personality trait could be used as a proxy[0].

Bingo.

1st iteration: 'does it' (barely) but kinda looks hacky
2cnd iteration: better. actually works.
3rd iteration: looks clean, concise, pro, something to be proud of!

3rd time is a charm in software.

It's unbelievable how much clearer and more concise the code is 3rd time around.

If you can ever actually get away with this on a project ... highly recommended.
Yeah, I totally understand why not. Just my comments from the peanut gallery :)

While it would be great to liberate x86, more than 4 billion people in the world use mobile phones, and phones are beyond saving. x86 is in very healthy shape compared to the clusterfuck that is the smartphone industry. If you think that coreboot is a fringe project, you need to head over to replicant or neo900 to see what the fringe actually is.
I was confused about your use of the word "nation in the modern Western sense" first there. It used to mean more or less same thing in the West, especially in Europe. Of course the construction of nation-states and their borders in Europe during the 19th century was often quite arbitrary compared to the Japanese who live on an island and have done so for ages.
Civil disobedience is breaking the law one perceives as unjust (or refusing to follow it) to make a point about the legal system. It includes accepting the consequences of one's actions. What Uber does is garden variety illegal business practice. No societal benefit in mind, just money to be made.

I'm genuinely curious. Where else is conversation worth reading daily?
I agree with you that there may be some revelation of pent up demand for destinations, but also believe that that effect is overshadowed by the overall effect of creating a "car town" vs a "public transit town". There is an overall culture shift when one demonstrates that the highway is "open for business". The lagging effect is ridiculous traffic jams.

Creates that perception right up until the point where they're sitting in traffic.

Are you talking about building a new multilane highway where one didn't exist, or expanding the number of lanes on a highway that already exists? I thought you were referring to the latter, since that's the case that is closest to a increased housing in an established city==building lanes analogy, in as much as it is close at all as I previously described.
I know politically incorrect opinions are unpopular and this will be downvoted like crazy, or at least some activist on Twitter will cite this as an example of how "clueless" HN readers are, but here I go:

She says "We see Uber & Tesla, the companies who survived DESPITE their initial homogeneity. We don't see all the companies who failed because of it."

Let me ask you this: "Then tell me the companies that succeeded BECAUSE of diversity".

I have attended one of those "unconscious bias" trainings. They always mention some research result to "prove" that their theory is correct. But do you really think just because some extremely constrained experiment came up with that result, it suddenly applies to the real world? Like I said, I have yet to see any success from a company that focused on "creating a diverse team" from when they were 3 people working out of their apartment.

If you look around, the world is full of companies that started out very homogenous.

And even if let's say we've found some "diverse" company that's successful. How do you prove that the success is due to diversity? The thing is you never know what causes success. Diversity is just one small part of the picture.

Let me be clear. I do not believe homogenous culture is good in the long term. For example, if you're Starbucks, you have much more to gain by being diverse than being homogenous. I also am against racism and sexism. I understand the problems.

But personally I think all these "even a 5 person startup needs to be diverse" is full of shit. These consultants who have no idea what they are talking about other than basing their hypotheses on some experiments mentioned in pop science books should know that their words actually hurt naive entrepreneurs into thinking that's what they need to focus on. And the naive entrepreneurs thinking this is what they should be doing should know that these people say these things because that's perfectly in line with their own interest, not yours.

When you are a 5 person startup, the question is NOT about whether "should we create a diverse culture or not?". The only question you should be thinking about from the moment you wake up till you go to sleep is: "How do I get customers/users/or whatever metric that matters for the company?"

These "diversity" stuff is really a distraction when you need to be focused on the product.
I was surprised that Rust actually did it the way it is now (i.e. no implicit bounds). Article says accessing the map arg's methods will fail, but isn't the entire argument itself invalid by definition? You can't instantiate the hash map without validating that K and V do implement those traits.

But that is what you're suggesting - that a machine is capable of deriving a singular unbiased truth of the world, and present it in a way that is proven not to further bias in any human reading it, and we should all accept that on the face of it.

For me, I'd have you start where I started, with "Rock and Roll Animal." It's performed live by Reed backed by what was basically Alice Cooper's band, and that particular album's selections are the ones that sound most conventionally like 70's guitar-driven rock and roll. Very accessible: Intro/Sweet Jane, Heroin, and Rock and Roll are the three songs I'd pick for you if you were in a hurry.

It's interesting from there to listen to other versions of Sweet Jane, maybe other recordings of Reed's as a solo artist, or with VU, or covers. In a lot of ways, when I was a kid, listening to the newest Lou Reed record was searching for another song as good as Sweet Jane.

I guess from there, assuming you see something in Sweet Jane in any of its forms, I'd go back to him with the Velvet Underground, maybe listen to Loaded with an eye toward how adaptable and influential those songs are.

Hope this helps. In a lot of ways the value of Lou Reed and the VU is not what they did but what they inspired in others.
whatever you say
Would you say your long holding period should make you less confident about beating the market long term? Even though you tested from 2001, the actual number of "samples" (end-to-end trades) is actually very low. Maybe that's why Quantopian wants algorithms with higher turnover.

If it was a complete waste of time, we might as well write our web apps in machine language. There's never been a side-by-side study comparing machine language to modern languages that meets the scientific bar put forth. So even though you can't definitively prove causation, the history of programming languages has demonstrated that multiple substantial advances have absolutely happened. There's no reason to think there can't be more.
Increasing the number of units does not increase demand for speculators, vacation homes or airbnb. Those should be addressed, but in a totally seperate conversation from whether to build more units or not.
Of course. An integer that represents a number of some subdivision of your nominal "one" unit is a fixed-point decimal number type. They're two names for the same thing.

But the other commenter was discussing arbitrary precision arithmetic libraries, not fixed-point decimals.
Housing and transportation are closely related. In cities where this has gotten out of hand, the highways are clogged with people who are moving from affordable (for all income levels) housing to incrementally better jobs and back daily (commuting). It would be impossible to talk about creating equitable housing without addressing transportation problems in tandem.

Yes, Schulz has been working for the EU for a long time; he also, apparently, has had strong interests outside the EU for as well. Why do you think many Europeans feel betrayed by the EU?
Exactly, since there is no state machine, an attacker can immediately send the last message. The client will try to check the integrity of this message. But it will use an uninitialized all-zero key to do this! So an attacker can spoof the last message. And once the client receives this message, it will accept all traffic.
There is such a huge gap between your incredibly bleak image of Japan and the lively, optimistic and impressive Japan that I live in. I've lost count of the number of gaijin experts on Japan who want to tell me about how wrecked Japan is, and how Japanese people are in denial, and all the ways they need to emulate the West to get with the program. I've also lost count of the things that Japan does measurably better than every other country I've lived in. In the real world, the Japan that I live in is a country that by almost every measure is unrivaled in terms of intelligence, thoughtfulness, convenience, social justice, curiosity, work ethic, respect for tradition, ambitions for the future, and the ability to live your life in peace.

But of course, Japan is very hard on itself and sets insanely high standards for itself at every level of society. If you are bullish on Japan, you're easily dismissed as a nationalist or racist or as living in denial.

I guess the ultimate revenge is living well, so I've already won from that perspective. I feel genuinely sorry for people who can't see a good thing for what it is.
Sure, but what civilized nation requires someone with a spouse and children who are citizens to get a visa in the first place? Surely that should automatically qualify one for at least permanent resident status.

The Netherlands? It was a long time ago, but after you get married to a foreign spouse outside of the Netherlands, you have to come home, she has to wait in her country of origin for 6 months minimum until she can come and join you. This was like 15 years ago, I'm sure it is even more ridiculous now.
