Is hacker news really the appropriate avenue to post left-wing conspiracy theory articles?

The article is confrontation right off the bat:

- It equates Western Civilisation with the European Union.

- The UK voting to leave the EU democratically is described as a "calamity".

What meaningful discussion can possibly be had from such sensationalist trash journalism?
Thanks to the team. My daily driver for two decades.
I was trying to build an online presence as an indie game dev for a while, #gamedev and #indiegames generated a lot of bot retweets. Bot retweets tend to cascade, too - other bots that may have missed the original tweet pick up the retweets. Finding the right hashtags can be a pretty good way to get (human) eyes on your message, due to that exponential growth factor.
That doesn't seem to bear any relevance to what you were replying to.
They are, but most people don't have pensions and fewer people contribute to retirement funds than you may think.

This is a feature of this low inflation market. There's no incentive to do anything but hoard cash.

Where are tech salaries 2x 10 years ago? Mine is nowhere close to that.
I'm not sure that compares to the issue above. Labor value is almostly[0] purely a supply and demand issue. Knowledge workers are in higher demand, so they get paid more.

But there is the flight recorder which let's you both see the state of the plane and what the pilots were doing.

There is no "canon" explanation for the film, since Kubrick did not provide one, and 2001 was, at heart, his movie, independent in significant respects from Clarke's novelization and later sequels.

That being said, I think the onscreen evidence for Clarke's version is compelling. Most notably, it solves the mystery highlighted by the article as to why HAL didn't kill Bowman on the first EVA: If the computer could have engineered a plausibly innocent loss of contact with Mission Control, he could have acted freely to preserve both the astronauts' ignorance and the success of the mission without worry of being contradicted by the ground-based twin computer (which he surely knew would eventually diverge from his decision-making, having not been informed about the Monolith).

Once the astronauts were told of the divergence and took it seriously enough for their discussion in the pod, HAL had no remaining options.
Yeah, in many countries the number would be close to zero. German pension funds are only allowed to hold 10% of their value in stocks, so the rest goes into bonds and other low-risk investments. This is why Germany always want high interest rates in the Eurozone.
consider selling put options ...get paid to wait
It seems in the bay area that figure isn't accurate. From my experience the term is even greater than 150 months, often more than 200. I guess this means rent is cheap here (or conversely the price to buy is very high, probably partly because mortgage rates are so low and the interest is tax deductible).
I had always assumed that Kubrick gave an explicit clue that HAL had "snapped" when he strangely repeats himself when he claims to have detected a problem. HAL suddenly says "just a moment... just a moment..."

It comes across as just the sort of error he was supposedly incapable of.
It's not just about who has money to invest. Investors who have better investment strategies make a LOT more money in the long term:

http://www.businessinsider.com/forgetful-investors-performed...

and because of that the people with better strategies will accumulate a much larger share of the market.

Most investors have poor returns because they defer to their self-defeating cognitive biases, they don't take the time to understand investing, and they often naively believe they have a simple "system" which will outsmart the market.
As much as I like visiting the Bay Area, the cost of living is one of many reasons I'd never consider living there.
Part of me wonders what the problem is exactly? It doesn't sound like she's hurting anybody, just wasting her life away. But really, that's just my opinion. I think people who watch TV are wasting their life away, too, but it's really not my problem.

But to the OP's point, if heroin was sold at clinics or pharmacies there'd be an opportunity for nurses and pharmacists to intervene and offer alternatives before a person's a full blown addict. Even if it's just, "Hey, you're hitting it a bit hard lately, maybe try this meetup group instead."

It doesn't have to be spite. Doing so out of practicality (see, e.g., companies' increasing their presence in Vancouver) is a more effective statement, anyway.

Aaron Swartz was literally my first thought too. I'm submitting him anyway, he should win and the money should go to like-minded worth individuals and causes.
This is patently false. Volumetric dosing is easy for even the most brain dead drug dealer to figure out. 1g furanylfentanyl in 1000ml of liquid, you can easily dose out 1ml=1mg

The problem is again with education. When heroin addicts are getting stuff cut with fentanyl, they fall out because they do not know what dose they are taking.

If you know how much you are taking, these fent analogs can (and have been for years) be used quite safely)
Yeah, that's not a solution to the problem. That's just punting on it entirely.

Permutation City is actually by Greg Egan.
It really depends on what you want, though. I'd rather be in a coliving space in San Francisco than in a big house in suburbia outside the Bay Area. As people's priorities and expected standards of living change, so does the market rate for different properties. And it seems like my generation is willing to sacrifice space for being in a large city.
The people I know who are waiting for the big correction to invest, lose their nerve when the corrections happen, and don't invest then, either.

Unfortunately the ultimate rebalancer of wealth historically has been revolution and war. It's why the descendants of Roman plutocrats don't own the world now.

We've lived through a relatively peaceful and, more importantly, politically stable period in the developed world since WW2. And inequality continues to grow.

The problem now is twofold:

1. Capital is essentially beyond borders; and

2. The diminishing loyalty to the nation state.

(1) is the real problem with modern "trade" treaties like the TPP (that and they're used to enforce policies on smaller countries like the US stance on IP). They're not really about trade anymore. It's about freeing the movement of capital, which is a huge problem.

To put (2) in context, you have to remember that income taxes in the US 100 years ago were essentially done on the honour system. There were no computers. There was no accountability. Now we live in an age where the wealthiest people, who owe their wealth to the political stability in the countries they've made their wealth, are essentially unwilling to contribute to funding those same states.

What's more, the wealthiest individuals and corporations play off states against each other, demanding ever-more concessions to attract business. And when those concessions go away they move onto the next sucker.

It all just feels like something will have to give in the next century or so. We do have crumbling infrastructure in the developed world. Someone or something has to pay for it.

Look at places like Puerto Rico, which spent like crazy (way beyond its means). The wealthy have abandoned it and what's left to do? Bail it out by the Federal government?

Unfortunately it just seems like capital is too mobile.
Except that's precisely the opposite of a rational market participant position. Hoarding cash is almost always a losing position, even now. As long as we don't have deflation, any cash is losing value.
Doesn't make much difference how many people "own equities" if they don't own much.

That's far too simplistic imo. Combine supply demand with the fact that when capital (including knowledge capital) provides leverage for companies to increase profit margins, that enables them to post higher wages according to supply demand.

Look at skilled manufacturing. Employers basically refuse to pay based on supply demand even more than software etc.
It's great to see the improvements in this area. The voice recognition (if not the natural language processing) in systems like Amazon's Echo are pretty decent at this point for basic commands.

That said, I've tried the computer speech to text systems for transcribing interviews. And even with just one person talking they're nowhere good enough for me to use. Even budget human transcription (e.g. CastingWords) is just so much better that it's nowhere worth my time to use a machine-based system.
I think Kubrick implies it by the way HAL's voice noticeably slows significantly and changes his tonality to suggest he was at least deeply troubled

Not to suggest this is what's happening in this particular case, but if the CIA (or any other intelligence agency) did figure out a way to break some particular encryption protocol, wouldn't it be in their best interest to create fake internal documentation claiming they couldn't break that form of encryption, and "leak" that to Wikileaks?
Cost prohibitive? IBM seems to be ~16 hours free then 2 cents/minute. Google is 1 hour free then 2.4 cents/minute.

I can't see anything that says how IBMs minutes are done though, whether every message is rounded to 1 minute or not. Edit - based on a comment from someone at IBM in this thread, they're not rounded up to a minute, rather only at the end of the month is the total time rounded. I can't see how they'd be more expensive than google.

One effect of this problem is that when hiring, it's only viable to bring young single people to the bay area -- anyone with a family that needs to live in something bigger than a one (or 0) bedroom condo would need to be paid an unreasonable salary to afford it.

We had one employee quit after 2 months because his wife couldn't stand living in the 2 bedroom apartment they and their 2 kids were living in while they searched for a permanent residence - a search that never succeeded. He paid back the reloc costs, and said that was worth it.

There are a lot of perks to living in the Bay Area (the weather being one of them, there are few other places where you can go kayaking, biking and skiing in the same weekend), but if I were asked to move here today (rather than 20 years ago), I doubt I'd come due to the high cost of housing and lousy commute (with poor public transportation) for those that live farther away for cheaper housing.

My argument isn't that opioid use in the time of opium dens was harmless, nor that opioids can be used willy-nilly without any harms. I am well familiar with some of the dangers of opioid use and do not wish to discount them at all. My argument is that opioid prohibition in the 21st century in the US is a legal regime that amplifies those dangers -- it kills lots of people quite effectively (and keeps killing more every year).

The number of people who use opioids regularly is a second-order concern (if only because fent-laced heroin certainly gets that number down) to me, frankly -- reducing morbidity and mortality due to drug use is a lot more important. With a decent medical infrastructure, addicts should be able to get opioid maintenance therapy with the right drugs and dosage and be able to lead actual interesting lives beyond trying to score the next hit.

I'd so much rather live in a country where people who want to get high on opioids can buy cheap, pure, precisely metered opioids that won't kill them rather than smashing car windows to be able to pay for overpriced fentanyl-laced drugs sold by criminals that might overdose them in the street (which will cause even more expense and load on the already-awful USian medical system).

What is good for developers is bad for the industry. How else would they justify creating frameworks in different languages if all people are doing anyway is writing text to (F)CGI stdout? It is much better for the companies/groups involved to make people believe that there is something wrong with this and that they should really be using a "proper" framework.
It's precisely that attitude embodied in Deere in the 1930's that I aim to get back to - I'm from Indiana farm country myself, though, and I can tell you that Deere is no longer that benefactor. Nor are the many other once-community-minded companies that used to employ the heartland.

As a freelancer myself, I certainly don't think that business is inherently evil. I do, however, think that today's insistence on shareholder returns to the exclusion of all other principles (up to and including stewardship of long-term value) is hollowing us out from the inside. Find me a large American company who would ever do the kind of long-term thinking Deere exhibited in the 30's. There aren't any.

Charity is not at all what I'm talking about. Charity is good for what it's good for - but it can't keep a society afloat for the long term. Only a healthy business ecology can do that. Long-term prosperity is the only possible goal, and it can't be done with handouts or noblesse oblige.

I currently live in Puerto Rico. We have a lot of problems here - problems that are deep and long-lasting - but I think they can be solved with a business model that focuses on long-term stability even if short-term profit will be lower. And it will be.

I really need to write some kind of long-form coherent presentation of what I'm talking about in Puerto Rico, but frankly I'm still learning a lot of basic things about the economic situation here that have a direct bearing on how I see the future. So I'm not ready yet.

But thanks for your input! This is very useful.

Ridiculous. I was living in Midtown Atlanta making $70k and reliably maxing out my Roth, plus contributing to an HSA and 401(k).

Saving money doesn't require you to be in the top 10%. It certainly does require disposable income above and beyond what can buy the bare necessities, but as you pass that level it increasingly requires restraint and discipline.

Candidates who make this argument ("pay me 5x my current salary so I can afford similar housing") come across as super tone-deaf.

The cost of housing reflects the opportunity you find in the area. It's a matter of personal preference. If you prefer a big home and less opportunity, stay in the midwest. If you prefer to be where opportunity is greatest, and are willing to sacrifice on square feet, consider the bay area.

But to expect both reflects a lack of common sense. Market salaries and home prices are what they are.
Considering that Wikileaks allegedly has the new malwares that CIA has been using, I think something like that would be part of the slew of documents in Vault 7. Of course, it might be confidential enough for only a select few to know, but I'm just saying it looks to me that the leak is revealing pretty hush-hush stuff.

> Interestingly, 70% of Iranian engineering grads are female

Although my experience is with other Gulf states (not Iran but considered relatively progressive), the cause for that might be less noble than some think. Basically while the sons are allowed to study abroad, the daughters are most definitely not. This leads to the national universities having female majorities in pretty much all subjects.

In any case, it would be foolhardy to construe that number as equality (unless e.g. Iran has a huge surplus of women). But it is interesting.
The distributed-process (Cloud Haskell) library gives you Erlang-style processes/actors in Haskell. Haskell is a good language to map these concepts to since it already has lightweight threads, pattern matching, asynchronous exceptions and other language features required to faithfully implement Erlang semantics.

Scala/Akka would be another choice but it has totally different semantics from Erlang, and you can never forget you are working in an async model.
