What are some examples of why your friend is a genius? IQ or discoveries?
I completely agree with your sentiment. “We don't get any other personal insurance from work” isn't quite true, though. Many companies include at least minimal life & disability insurance.
I guess you are referring to Yitang Zhang who created the first bound on the twin-prime conjecture. These days mathematics has become so specialized that its rather difficult to come up with anything new that is noteworthy and not already discovered. Just browsing through the graduate math library the other day and the stacks and stacks of journals dating from the 1700's and from various parts of the globe made me realize just how much math is out there.

Still, like Ian Stewart said in his "Letters to a Young Mathematician", math is an inverted pyramid - when a problem is solved, it leads to more branches to be solved. So maybe breakthroughs are possible from a determined amateur.
I'd rather take the risk that my daughter would grow up to be a crack whore than leave anti-drug busybodies the kind of power they've managed to accrue.
You indeed can't average a bunch of viewpoints and get anything good out of it. That's why Alan Kay usually has that vector space example where "different viewpoint" means giving yourself a vector out of the existing "plane of viewpoints".

The history behind our current nonsensical scheme started with FDR capping wages during the great depression, which spurred companies to offer "perks" like healthcare to recruit talent. An example of one market intervention leading to another, and another, ad nauseam.

Totally agree that insurance should be decoupled from corporations. The way the "market" is regulated hampers people from working independently or starting small businesses because it's so damn expensive for individuals to pay for healthcare themselves.

I have the exact question in mind. Who, Why, and Now?

Sony - If Intel wants the next PS5 CPU to be from Intel. But Intel lacking any decent GPU, and their reluctance to low margin business may suggest otherwise.

Yahoo - some have suggested, but as much as I want to believe it is true, last time I heard they have been switching to Linux since Marissa arrival. Most of their BSD people has since left.

Netflix - FreeBSD usage is limited to their own CDN Appliance, which as the name implies, working like a appliance and needs not much tweaking. Their main, encoding and core Network is on AWS with Linux. And if Netflix is that much a big customer for Intel?

Router / NAS / Appliance? Gosh they have been here for more then a decade and only now Intel decide to listen to them? One reason could be they are switching to ARM + Linux. For them to stay on x86 they will have to better support for FreeBSD, but I still think this is a weak argument.

Apple - Despite OSX's close relationship with the BSD community. Apple doesn't use any FreeBSD on their Cloud Servers. And Airport uses NetBSD which is something different enough.

May be it is Whatsapp?

Your comment is actively harmful. You are spouting off a strong opinion that hasn't benefitted from any actual knowledge of the topic — or from actually reading the article — or from thinking about it for a more than a second.

As the article correctly states, an alt attribute should always be present; explicitly empty values signal that no alt content is needed for a screen reader.

An image without the alt attribute is not even valid HTML. Try it yourself: https://validator.w3.org/nu/#textarea

I think it's smart that alt is required. Many of us would otherwise blithely continue on without considering accessibility. (Sadly, most of us still do, and we build tools and abstractions that "automatically" set the alt to something, be it an empty string or the file name… defeating the purpose of inviting the author to explicitly create an alt content.)

Back to your comment - if you are of the habit of shitting on ideas just to provoke a defense of them in order to ultimately learn something, I suggest you find a more constructive approach to learning… you could have googled it for 15 seconds and could have instead written, “I thought making a rule of always including alt was dumb, but I googled it and discovered that it's required by the HTML standard because x, y, and z”
No, in that case it would be a fun, and potentially useful feature. That said, the use is extremely minimal, since it's really only a backup for poor planning. If you check the fridge before you shop (when making a list for example) you avoid all of this.

The truth is though, if you want a really secure fridge, it either needs to be much more expensive or... you know... just a fridge.
I would recommend Void Linux if Manjaro doesn't please you.
There's that TED talk about an older meaning of "genius" is something that visits you, like a muse, and not something that you are. It's just up to you to be prepared when inspiration strikes, to notice it, and follow up on it.

Noteworthiness is also very dependent on context. If you're too late, you're not a genius, even though you came up with it independently... how can what other people do affect your brain tissue? It can't; genius isn't about your brain, but the context.

Geniuses are like prospectors who get intrinsic credit for striking it rich... but they didn't put the gold there. However, it is right to celebrate them, to encourage prospecting...
Good reflexion, it's a virtuous circle, once you get an opportunity to enter that top percentage, the money machine is rolling faster and faster.
Readability is driven by (a minority of) consumers. The fact of the matter is that if the producers want to deliver crap by default, they will deliver crap by default.

Creating a new thing for producers to use when they could just do that with their existing medium changes nothing.

It's like devising new receptacles for discarding unused apple cores so people don't throw them on the ground. It's not going to help. People don't litter apples because they have to.
> Some things are too dangerous to distribute to consumers, no matter how they are labeled.

opioids, especially the lower potency ones, do not meet this criteria at all. With tolerance, minimum effective dose increases, but so does the lethal dose. With pharmaceutical-grade opioids whose amounts are precisely metered, it's possible to live in that window.

It's only opioids under prohibition (aka, uncertain/varying doses and ingredients) that are inherently dangerous.
Most people don't know what the word capital means. The gap is massive for real reasons not just access to trading platforms. The bottom 90% shouldn't have to give a shit. An electrician should be able to specialize in their field and trust that their retirement is taken care of by financial pdofessionals. Same as a financial professional should be able to trust an electrician to wire their house correctly for a fair price that will last 40+ years.
> You are broadening the conversation to look at sexism in broader society.

No. No. No sheepmullet. You've been broadening the scope from unrelated articles to Japanese work culture whenever it suits you. It's too late for you to go, "HEY I WAS RIGHT IN THIS LIMITED CONTEXT."

Unbelievable.

> Nonsense. Most rigorous wage gap studies control for a lot more than the GlassDoor study.

Yes, because the include many more hourly, tipped and commission-based jobs. The Glassdoor dataset has almost none of those.

> The particular data (working hours) that I'm saying should have been included is straightforward to measure and collect.

Salaried jobs don't collect the data, and that's the majority of Glassdoor's data.

> A swing and a miss. It's like you aren't even trying to read what I'm writing.

Given your prior attestation you are not broadening scope despite mentioning Japan's dangerously broken work culture as a pole star, I'm wondering if YOU are reading what you're writing.

And given the moderation, you're not doing such a swell job convincing people here.
If the USA and Mexico set different thresholds for the poverty line, with the Mexican threshold being lower, then people above the Mexican poverty line but below the USA poverty line could emigrate. This would raise the poverty rate in both countries, but this is an artifact of the two countries differing definitions of poverty. But if you measured poverty in the entire USA+Mexico region using a single definition of poverty, you would see it decrease, assuming those immigrants are better off after moving. (Note that actually measuring poverty this way is difficult due to factors like differing currencies with exchange rates varying over time, so the concept of a unified poverty definition is mostly just theoretical.)
If two consenting adults want to make a agreement that includes exchange of their own genetic information, I really don't see the issue.

There are plenty of employers that don't require genetic information. If you don't want to give your genetic information to your employer it's simple, don't work there. Companies that can't hire employees go out of business. This is a self correction 'problem'. We don't need legislation here. Legislation almost always fails edge cases and is not needed for self correcting issues.

I don't use ES6. Since everyone compiles everything (including even JavaScript) down to a not-very-human-readable version of JavaScript anyway, you're free to implement in any language of your choosing that compiles down to that too. I would use a language that doesn't rely on the Node/NPM/Bower/Grunt garbage heap. Clojurescript is my choice.
To be fair, kids born today are pretty fucked for so many reasons. In a way, this kind of dystopian future is averted when you consider the rate of accelerating ocean warming, permafrost melting, etc. It seems likely that all problems short of that which is going to end us, sort of gets subsumed.

All of these social problems are in the context of a failing ecosystem that is being increasingly overtaxed. So... the kids never had a chance.
I absolutely support EFF, but it must be said that privacy and decentralization can be in conflict with Free software. Namely, by flooding the world with GPL and liberally-licensed web software, it becomes a commodity item, making "the cloud" possible in the first place, and enslaving people.
"Extremely minimal" is debatable. You could make the same argument for GPS / phone map apps. Yes, of course you could have consulted a map before you left the house. The fact that we no longer have to is the benefit that technology has afforded us. Remote fridge viewing is in the same category.
This is entirely consistent with how weirdly cultish the "rehab/treatment" industry is in US: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13848273
Not a surprise to me given that LA has the least affordable rent in the country (a measure of average percent of income spent on rent --- not absolute rent). But in both cases, my intuition is that this just means California is a very desirable place to live. If Dallas has lots of jobs and relatively affordable housing but you choose to live in California despite the financial burden, it must be because you think it has greater intrinsic value (weather, culture, community, etc).
Is it applicable to Law makers?
Maybe we should ask everyone claiming about the rigged system what they really want: income evenly distributed to all workers ? More taxation for those who earn more than the average ? Central economic planning so everyone get's the same information regarding where the profits are ?
Frankly, sometimes some people need to take a refreshing trip into North Korea instead of perpetually complaining about the downsides of capitalism.
Middle class Mexican citizens can live good lives in Mexico, so they don't need to risk dangerous border crossing to end up a poor illegal immigrant in the US.
Well said! I read those ancient Greeks a long time ago and yes, real "genius" is something that overtakes a person, not inherent.
Fixing Housing supply is relatively easy: we just need to legalize construction. And maybe density too, such as the missing middle: http://missingmiddlehousing.com/

There's a reason the poor have been migrating out into the sub-suburbs: that's where houses can actually get built.

Having tracked Pony for a while and started using it more heavily over the last several months - I would say the Quora quote is pretty wrong and short sighted. As per SB's comment the original developers are still involved. From my perspective as a user the additions to the team have helped fill out gaps and kept momentum going (especially when the original team needed to focus elsewhere for a while).

Certainly as the new community members have stepped up the nature and style of the community has been influenced and evolves and not everyone has necessarily liked those changes (as per Quora comments) but I think the language has benefitted.

Languages, like operating systems - are often identified with the original designers - but it takes a community to grow it and ensure continued growth. Pony's community is still small but folks are actively contributing to Pony's growth and maturity. The language still has a long way to go but its fun to use and its got some interesting ideas that are worth exploring.

Ehh, not really, the cloud is similarly possible without free software. Indeed much of the big name cloud provider's backend software would be in-house anyway. Windows VMs exist too.

I guess your point is closer to 'free software makes the cloud cheaper', which in turn makes it easier to ensnare people..
I wonder what traits we'll program for? Intelligence, maybe, but that's tough to manage and I'd guess that without a complete understanding you'd get a lot of madness. Physical traits will be easier to select for, especially gross ones like size and overall strength. Selecting out congenital illness would be another step.

If you could though, if you had a clear understanding of how Trait A and cluster of genes/epigenetic factors Z were related... then what traits would be valued? Some would want attractive, intelligent offspring. After a while though, I wonder if people would really want that?

If you're the kind of person who wants to control the development of your kid's moral/religious/political/etc. views (and lots of people do) then you're not going to get what you want out of that. You might want to select for traits that are just... like you.

I suspect a lot more of it is perception than people imagine: keeping your hands on the keyboard all the time seems like it intuitively must be faster. Early research in human-computer interfaces suggests that this isn't actually the case, though. From 1989:

"We've done a cool $50 million of R&D on the Apple Human Interface. We discovered, among other things, two pertinent facts: (1) Test subjects consistently report that keyboarding is faster than mousing. (2) The stopwatch consistently proves mousing is faster than keyboarding."

http://www.asktog.com/TOI/toi06KeyboardVMouse1.html

It's very easy on HN to find the pro-keyboard arguments. The pro-mouse argument is, more or less, that the context switch that really costs you time isn't the one involving the mouse, but the one involving remembering and/or finding the keyboard shortcut or function key.

Vim and Emacs style movement commands are faster than the mouse in certain contexts, but I'm dubious that's universally true. "I want to jump to line 123" is easy, but what about "I want to move the cursor to the open brace character right there"? No matter how much of a seasoned pro you may be, you're going to have to think for a moment about how to do to that: "let me count the '{' characters between the current point and where I want it to be. Three, so '3/{<cr>'." The mouse may make you move your hand, but it doesn't make you have to stop and count.

(It's also worth remembering that while mouse selection may not be as rich as "select within brackets" type commands, nearly all editors do have basic semantic mouse selection: double-click and drag to select by word, triple-click and drag to select by line. This can be a lot faster than you might think.)
Assuming heat is a poor assumption.

I grew up without heat on many days. It was the 80s. Inflation ate into parents' earnings to the point where you had to cut something -- housing, food, heat. They cut heat. We used multiple blankets. Showers were usually with warmish to cool water.

I agree, we now have access to healthcare. Back then, we'd go to the ER for everything, you'd have to gauge whether the illness was worth 6 or 7 hours in the hospital. Those times might come back depending on where legislation heads.
There are many messages to take from Aaron's death.

I think one of the messages is that mental illness can affect anyone. Even people who seem perfectly normal. Even those who are rich. Even elites.

One reason Aaron took his own life might be that he felt he had no one to turn to. Or maybe he felt he shouldn't turn to anyone because he'd somehow be considered a failure.

Although it's perfectly valid to say that he was a victim of an injustice, I think we should also be conveying an additional message: That if you're dealing with something heavy, it's ok to reach out.

Hand in hand with that, the stigma against mental illness needs to end.

> Bot retweets tend to cascade, too

There's a reason for that. Twitter offers an API to get a massive stream of tweets. They used to provide it in various sizes, leading up to what was called the "firehose". Now they only have a streaming API with filtering (but gets a very small, but constant random sample of tweets), and the "firehose", which is all of them -- and you have to pay for it through a third party partnered with Twitter. When you're doing large-scale datamining, the firehose can be invaluable, albeit expensive (Depends, but is anywhere between $300-$6000/month). But bot makers don't always have that kind of scratch, so they will just consume the public API, which is generally good enough.

I don't think the use of the system linker is why Swift has SIL, nor Rust has MIR. It's true that one of the possible benefits of Rust's MIR is faster compilations, but it is fundamentally motivated by representing (and checking) semantic information that is unavailable at the LLVM level. Whatever linker LLVM happens to use is orthogonal to this.

From memory I solved it using more CPS and currying. Well manually currying with functions like curry1, curry2, etc...

Although I'm pretty sure you can overload the Fn* traits to implement currying in Rust. (Fn traits are unstable). Which is neat.

// Something like this:
impl<F, A, B, R> (FnOnce(A) -> Curry<F, A, B>) for F
where F: FnOnce(A, B) -> R,
{ ... }

// and
impl<F, A, B, R> (FnOnce(B) -> R) for Curry<F, A, B>
where F: FnOnce(A, B) -> R

I think I got it working... but you would need some work for more arguments. (And it worked different on different versions of rust-nightly :/)
