Be Like the Fox: Machiavelli’s Lifelong Quest for Freedom
Evolutionarily speaking here: Pregnancy and child rearing is expensive for females (of any species). Men have a far greater store of sperm than females who have limited eggs available during her reproductive time window.

This means that a male can father many more offsprings than a female can in her lifetime.

Even though monogamy..as a modern concept..is more prevalent, it is more often than not, serial monogamy.

But. Because. Evolutionary hardwiring.

Women want males to be providers because males can impregnate multiple females at the same time. Without being a bonded pair, or the resource costly job of raising offsprings would not be a shared endeavor. Bringing forth children takes a physical toll on a woman in more ways than one. It doesn't cost men anything other than ejaculation to create offspring. So women give birth. Men provide.

Of course, society has changed so much since cave men days, but our wiring probably hasn't..

Tying back to original topic...when women provide for themselves, what is the role of men? Perhaps our free floating relationship matrix without the need to be bonded pairs to bring forth offsprings is the reason.

Birds spend a lot of energy while flying..they have hollow bones and have a high metabolism. They expend a lot of energy just to exist. They migrate.

Mammals hibernate. They know how to conserve and regulate metabolism. Their energy needs are less expensive. Maybe that's why birds are monogamous and many mammals have harems.

As mammals, the human animal is already living within a moral but artificial construct of monogamy. Female apes share responsibilities to raise their young communally. Monogamy is an evolutionary disadvantage. It conserves energy and resources. It promotes kinship.

Human apes don't. Right or wrong, that's different. But we don't. If women can provide for themselves and have control over their reproductive freedoms, why do they need free range men anyways? The Y chromosome is supposedly composed of junk DNA.

This is bit of a ramble, but I would like to think it made at least some go 'a-ha'!

> Cook is trying to emulate the hardheadedness but fails to recognize the reasonability needed to balance that.

I don't think Cook is hardheaded. I think he has no idea how to run a product company. Pretty much everyone from the average HN user to Larry Ellison predicted this outcome. Cook is logistics / supply chain etc, Ballmer was sales, neither had any business at the top of their respective companies. Jobs did it on purpose, in my opinion, because he believed the single most important function initially was to keep Apple running smoothly and to complete the iPhone boom (ie the big product for the next decade was already in place). The only question is how long Apple will stay in the Cook era before getting a product leader replacement.
Re #2, anyone who tries to abuse a company for a lousy $5 deserves what they get. It looks to them like a stolen credit card being used fraudulently. For $5, you're not worth 10 minutes of a customer service rep's time trying to determine whether you are a fraud risk.
I've never cared for most online games, although it bugs me on an intellectual level that they'll stop working. CRTs are connected to my childhood and early adulthood, and I get warm nostalgic feelings seeing one still in use. If I had space at home, I'd have a 30" CRT sitting next to my main LCD TV, to connect my older game consoles to. They work on the LCD. Then again, so does emulation on a PC. Not quite the same.
This is my first go lang project, feel free to give feedback about the code!

How My Public Records Request Triggered Waymo’s Self-Driving Car Lawsuit
Don't care. I am the one with the power. And I have no problem using this power to my advantage.

The way that a business relationship works, is that the person with the power gets to make the decisions. And in the market that I am in, that person is me.

And I have no problem demonstrating my skills. I just demand that there is another person from the company, on the other end of the phone line or other end of the table, investing the same amount of time into the relationship as me.

If a company thinks that it is unreasonable for me to demand an equal time investment from them, well sucks to be that company, because as we have already established, they aren't the ones with the power, so their opinion doesn't really matter. They can go find someone else to interview.
bjelkeman-again is referring to kVA- a unit of power rather than voltage.

Systems which run a higher consumer voltage (e.g. 230V) will tend to use higher kVA transformers compared to the American system (~110V).

I believe this is because it is feasible to run longer cables when using higher voltage (higher voltage -> lower current -> lower thermal losses per metre of cable), hence it is economical to use fewer, larger transformers in a higher voltage system vs. a lower voltage system.
So random including random c# snippets would probably leak memory? I imagine it would produce an uncanny valley feeling.

> Linux is still as bad as it ever was.

Not really. It may not be suitable for all use-cases, but it has certainly much improved in the last years.

To make a concrete example, I'm running ArchLinux + bspmw on an Asus Zenbook UX305UA. Thanks to ArchLinux I don't have all the bloat that I don't need, putting me at 10 hours of battery life. The tiling WM allows me to be extremely efficient with desktop and window managing. This is why I find it really obnoxious to use both Windows and OS X when I have to.

If you don't need proprietary software that doesn't run on Linux I seriously suggest you give it a try.
Absolute Beginner’s Guide: Intro to Stretching
Have you guys seen Musee Mecanique in Fisherman's Wharf, San Francisco [1]? It's a collection of older-than-old slot machines and games, I want to say I've seen some 100 year old ones, but the point is: there's Heavyweight Champ' style boxing, there are all sorts of sport games, and even a mechanical road runner [2].

The gameplay is obviously changed with technology, but for some games the core idea survived some heavy decades of transitions. The originals would probably be less engaging for today's kids, so it's only fair to ship them a 3D/VR/mobile version, and keep our nostalgia from trying to sell mechanical road runner to all arcades. CRTs will phase out in favour of everything else, and that should be ok.

I'm not very mathematical, and I was much less mathematical when I worked that book (calc 1, not calc 2 yet, etc).

I found it highly accessible and fun to work through. The concepts are all well-explained and I don't recall anything that would be out of reach for someone with some probability and foundations in classical logic. If they are at discrete math, this book is well withing their reach.

It doesn't teach hard math per se, but how to think in a mathematical way, showing how to break apparently diabolical problems into manageable pieces, and how to reconsider the perspective of the problem, if that makes sense. The book is among the most mind-expanding books I've ever read.

I'm fully autodidact and far from MIT pedigree.
But there are lots of ways that relative status really matters in a not-just-subjective way.

If a number of people are competing with you, your relative status within the group is an important factor for determining winning conditions.

If ten people are competing for one job, none of them have any reason to care about an effect which, say, increase the education-level of all of them. But each might be willing to take a class if it increased their chance of getting the relative to the other.
You're just repeating the same things you already said, and don't even acknowledge counter-arguments I presented. You really expect to convince anyone with this rhetorical style?
There's nothing xenophobic about wanting to build a community of dedicated citizens. I didn't invent a new problem, you're just failing to account for it in your capitalistic solution. Zoning laws exist for a reason and AirBnB is in direct conflict with them.

Again it goes back to what you want to prioritize, a well knit community or a city of hotel rooms mixed with residential housing that encourages more rent seeking. You're willing to allow for a lower quality and further enriching an already rich upper class. So not only do renters have to pay high rents and never own, they now need to sacrifice any semblance of community as the incentives to AirBnB a place would displace all long term rentals.

Not everything that can be monetized and made efficient should be, but I realize that's super counter to the Ayn Rand HN crowd. I maybe would've agreed with you 10 years ago but I've since realized the flaws in libertarian thinking. Either that or I'm wrong and unbridled capitalism is the right solution to all the problems but I seriously doubt it.
That "Machine Expert" snipped still looks way too much like a programming language. I fail to see the advantage over rolling a DSL with ANTLR which is reasonably intuitive (I'm assuming this is meant for external DSLs) or better yet using a language workbench like Xtext (which also gives you an Eclipse-IDE for your DSL "for free").

I guess the more the merrier but the linked website doesn't really showcase the tool very well (imo). For quick prototyping I'll probably stick with Prolog DCGs :)

Rebuilding CRTs is possible at the small shop level.[1] There's still a commercial service that does it. "We are your obsolescence solution."[2] It's not cheap, and most customers are rebuilding tubes for military systems that still use CRTs. This is likely to be too expensive for video game restoration.

> Additionally, Ware explained that the refresh rate on an LCD may not play well with an old game’s code that is expecting a much more responsive CRT monitor. It could cause unsightly screen tearing that looks like one half of the screen is occasionally redrawing before the other.

Does this really happen with LCD arcade monitors? It happens with PC-based emulators because they usually can't make the OS/drivers/GPU/monitor switch to a refresh rate that matches the emulated hardware (which, despite the quoted "more responsive CRT" bit, is just as likely to be below 60 Hz as above it, and usually not by a large amount either way) but I don't see how CRT vs. LCD is a major factor if we're talking about monitors that are actually made for arcade machines.
Being digital data, I'm assuming you have to be able to explain where the data was sitting, posit a reason for the data to exist there at all (edit: or some context around the data) and describe your method of obtaining the data.

Otherwise you could just create the data. With the above, you still can - it does however allow for inconsistencies to arise, and when they do a closer inspection can be conducted. (IANAL)
> an upscale of one or two order of magnitude

I think you're underestimating how much polluting the west has been doing. After all, China got into the game only in the last maybe 20 years.

As of 2011, the United States had released 28% of the world's total post-industrial revolution green house gasses, while China contributed 9%: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2011/apr/21/countrie...

Now granted 2011 was 7 years ago, but just eyeballing, if the US had stopped all its emissions and China released its current rate of 9.6B tonnes each year, they'd have to emit for another 24 years before they caught up to the United State's emissions.

That's not to say that China shouldn't clean up its emissions before they become the new #1 emitter, but we who live in the west have to do our part as well.

This should also be concerning: The US has over twice the emissions per capita as China [1], and China is not yet done developing. Basically if all nations are aiming to develop into the united states, we're hosed.

I never said trolling was not a problem or that moderation should not exist, I was looking at the test from a UX pov where it fails quite badly. On the upside, it succeeds for the collective of users who don't have to filter tripe, but for the individual user it fails. Has the site measured how much traffic has dropped off since implementing this 'feature'? NRK afaik don't run ads, at least not a lot of ads, being as they are Norwegian BBC, but I can see this feature being a detriment to page hits. Would be nice to see some statistics on that and similar effects on the users.
I'm no wizard, but in writing blog articles I've found ways to fool Google into believing me.

The problem with their algorithms.... is that all that statistics in the world can't help you when you're listening to a guy telling the truth vs an equally good liar.

I can tell you what Google doesn't have, a strong AI. It thinks it knows "facts" but these are merely patterns, and these can be gamed.

Because Google still lacks a strong, truly thinking AI, they rely extremely heavily on statistical models to rate content.

So how do you cheat google search?

Google's systems attempt to figure out the topic of your writing, the style, and quality. Is it scientific? An opinion piece? News? Is it a technical topic? A playful one? Fiction or nonfiction ?

The quality classifiers are much easier to game than topic and style analysis. They determine things like reading level of text but also things like the number of rare nouns, number of technical words, number of typos. Readability as far as font and formatting. Trustworthy signal of your domain and possibly the company and people they determine to be linked with it.

I also have a feeling google uses sneakier signals as well. These include your DNS registrar, phone number, email, and address listed on the site. Who you host with and what technologies you're using. Your mail servers and how trustworthy they are. Geo location, and visitor traffic info as soon as you put analytics on the site (or use amp)

Basically when Google says they have tons of signals, they do. They have a dataset that amounts to every site on the internet for the past 15 years, and they regularly run automated and manual "theory provers" much like quants do with historical stock market data. They find new signals constantly, and run tests to see if their new algorithms are better.

You know how sometimes google randomly takes a bit longer to load search results? My tin foily theory? They'll occasionally guinea pig you on prototype search results to see if they're better. I noticed their response time getting really bad a couple months before the public rollout of new AI powered search for example.

So gaming google? Do exactly everything that a large, legitimate, no-nonsense company would do. From where you host, what you host with, to who you link to. Bonus points if you have significant real looking mail and other traffic from your domain. Extra bonus points if you actually sell something real as cover and do it for at least a few years.

Once you've done enough convince google you're a big important thing IRL...write a ton of really subversive bullshit. Make it sound a real as possible, hell make 90% of it real, just with a single unverifiable fact. Keep pumping this shit out and make sure your garbage is never fake enough to get called out on. Or just make the fake part so hard to verify that nobody will waste the time, kinda like half the science world does when publishing papers.

This is just a guess -- being very late to the conversation -- but in case someone even later is curious, this may be the well documented case of the .NET framework recompiling libraries in the background after an update.

It seems like it will never finish, but it does ... eventually. However, the lack of any UI, any indication of its presence or its progress, and also that killing it will just make it come back later are all pretty hostile.

I used to think that running on a treadmill was the only way to lose weight. So I was eating 3,600 calories of pasta every single day and ironically trying to burn those extra calories with a 30 minute walk. Fat loss is done through proper eating, I wish the fitness industry would stop advertising more advanced ab workouts for losing belly fat.
I think the point is that the machine expert part (which essentially implements an iteration construct) can be provided by a target architecture specific library.

Assuming for a minute that containers aren't in play, then the isolation model becomes that of a server/vm with the associated overhead of each.

Why? There's nothing magical about a container, it's literally just a cgroup of Linux processes. You don't have to use them to get the memory isolation we're talking about - uncontained processes get it too.

That's what we do: one process per client, uncontained, just running on a different system user.

But in any case, sure, use containers, I'm certainly not opposed to them.
