Also the "better together" argument for UK is hurt. If not better together (eu) then why better together (uk)? Actually Scotland can join the Nordic examples of a very rich and welfare states in Scandinavia if not EU.

This was the focus of my post, though I guess it wasn't clear...

What you're suggesting doesn't work across party lines. The Democrat primaries don't care whether Republicans would have voted for Sanders over Trump, and the Republican primaries have a similar problem. Primary systems acts to amplify the passionate voices within each party at the cost of bipartisan preferences.
None that were available to Watts, certainly. Developing a new technology at the bleeding edge took a lot of money, even then. Steam engines useful for warships were so far in the future that military funds weren't an option.
Best used in combination with shellcheck (https://www.shellcheck.net/), which checks your shell scripts for bugs.
Medical studies with proper protocol and sufficient power are actually extremely reliable. Compared to the rest of the fields you mentioned, climate science is way more replicable and data-driven. The empirical evidence is so overwhelming that even the deniers no longer deny that the planet is warming. Now they have shifted the goalposts to quibble about whether this is 'man-made' or not. While harder to establish, there is abundant evidence supporting this hypothesis as well. It's also important to distinguish between this testing question and climate forecasting, which is harder and more error-prone.

The main problem is nobody can agree where to dig the hole.
Let me try to allay your concerns. The story you linked to was penalized automatically. There's no moderator penalty on it. No moderator may even have seen it.

We don't moderate HN to protect YC startups—just the opposite. This comment summarizes the situation and has links to plenty more: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13861389.

It's common—standard, in fact—for politically committed HN users to believe that the site is secretly aligned against their politics. That's mostly not because it is; it's because humans typically perceive their side to be at a disadvantage. I wrote about this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13932041, with links to plenty more.

You'll notice I said "mostly". That's because I have no way of guaranteeing that our own biases (which, being human, we have) don't affect moderation. I can't even guarantee that to myself. But we do work hard at it and have a lot of practice. If you know of any large community on the internet where that's more true than it is here, I'd like to see it.

Lack of bias is never perceived as 'lack of bias'; it's perceived as strong bias in favor of the opposing side, in proportion to the strength of one's own views. That's unfortunate for us, but it's how the human nature cookie crumbles.

Can you verify any of the above? Not fully, nor could you with more data. A quantum of trust is necessary for a community to function. If we say we didn't moderate a story and someone doesn't believe us (meaning, among other things, that they think we'd be dumb enough to lie), I doubt there's much we can do.

If you still have concerns, feel free to send them to hn@ycombinator.com.
I'm confused.
Is PowerShell 'recognized' as a shell?

I thought only unix and unix-like shells would be covered. I wonder what the technical definition of a shell is though.

(genuinely curious, not trying to be snarky)
Pretty awesome, but broke on the first command I tried (granted, it is bash specific IIRC)

echo $(( 1 + 2 ))
They're usually used as bulk capacitance, particularly at the input side of switching regulators. Thing is, their ESR is too high to be used alone so they're usually used in parallel with an MLCC ceramic. I've had success replacing both on the input stage with an aluminum polymer electrolytic (not standard aluminum) due to their low ESR and high capacitance (and better inrush rating). I usually use ceramics on the output.

Are you against automation?
Well, falsification of certificates seems to be quite common by nuclear subcontractors, and depending of the number of alternative shops able to do (kind of) the same thing (minus or plus correct quality...) those who falsify stuff might get away with a mere slap on the wrist and safety authorities telling them that it is bad, don't do it again.
FWIW, 2 of the 5 major candidates to the French presidential election (Hamon and Mélenchon) are calling for the end of nuclear power in France.

To be in line with the science, or at least the study [1] that 97% number comes from, they would have to sit through 33 witnesses who believe the planet is warming and humans are at least part of the cause, 66 witnesses who have not stated an opinion either way, and 1 witness who isn't sure but leans towards no.

Also, Curry and Christy would be part of the 66 "consensus" witnesses, having acknowledged that the planet is warming and humans are part of the cause. It sounds like they've managed to get Republicans to consider funding climate science by proposing an adversarial set of studies focused on "how much" rather than yes or no.

The amount of potentially different experiences male and female adolescents have had by the time they take the SAT make me believe SAT results are not good references for this subject.
Crazy is too strong a word because the costs involved would be astronomical / extraordinary / insane.
They look into it every few years but so far the costs to do so have been astronomical so it doesn't go past studies.

I don't have a good reference at the moment but from what I understand, most of it comes down to it being much harder to retrofit that kind of thing on to a 100+-year-old system than it is to build it into a new system. More specifically, since nothing was built with that in mind there are all kinds of challenges that would be very expensive to address like not all platforms are level or straight (imagine the cost and disruption involved in expanding and rebuilding the 4/5/6 platform and tunnels at Union Station to make them straight) and not all trains have doors that align in the same places (different generations of trains in service at the same time, different designs of trains on different lines, etc).

None of this means it can't or shouldn't be addressed eventually, but like many things in life there are reasons things aren't "just done" and it's important to understand those reasons if you want to make change happen.
Well, there's code of Bokken in this project, so I guess they're basing this project on it.
for westinghouse to file bankruptcy less than 90 days into a new republican administration with a focus on defense, nationalism, and domestic business is a pretty obvious move to get either a bailout or absorbed into DoD or DoE.

Let's caricature this a little bit: suppose it were a rule of the EU that each national government had to appoint half a dozen people to receive a million-euro salary straight from EU funds (that means, of course, from funds that ultimately the member states paid into the EU budget themselves) for doing nothing.

Even assuming the citizens of member states were fully conscious that this was happening, who do you think would be appointed to those positions? Who would you say sucks in this scenario, the member state governments or the EU?
well, yes - but maybe it was an issue of disclosure... my grandmother won a part of a class action lawsuit after my grandfather died where former GE nukes' families sued GE for wrongful death to to radiation....

They are all passed - so I dont have the details, I just recall having some minor conversations with my grandma about this.

I'm sorry it's not false, and in fact you've more or less confirmed what I said, the Commission is put in place by the Council and they originate all legislation.

The HP-15c scientific calculator is a work of pure genius, beauty, and art along with its user manual. My dad has used his daily since ~1986 and demand was high enough to do a re-run in 2012 to make a few thousand more units at over $100 a pop. It uses RPN and can do matrices, calculus, statistics, and run programs. It is small, lightweight, excellent buttons, and the batteries last years. Engineers love them. No graphing, but it is amazing. TI is popular now, but at one point, only HP could be used for real math.

Not a single Democrat voted for the bill. The Democrats certainly have their own problems, but this "both sides are the same" shtick is really getting old when they very clearly aren't.
But why should anyone place any stock in Scott Adams' personal experience with complex models?

"When it comes to the complex climate models, I’ve never seen a complex, iterative model – of the type that includes human assumptions and human measurements – reliably predict the future multiple years out."

Since he has never seen such a thing, are we all to nod our heads and agree they don't/can't exist? This is a rhetorical trick I find a little irritating.

what's with all this obsession with ranking??

It said so right in the article: you learn what you care about. Best musical instrument? Easy, mandolin. Maybe the violin. Both are tuned in fifths, so scale and chord patterns are transferable up and down, and across the fretboard/fingerboard. Far better than that bastardized tuning of the guitar. Play a melody, play rhythm (on the mandolin) if you have to, though not as good a choice as a guitar. And don't get me started on all the keys of a piano.

But that's what I care about in a musical instrument, mainly because I play one. YMMV, and it likely will if you don't play anything.
I think you misread the parent and the grandparent.

Also, I can't understand what you're tying "poisoning the well" or "false equivalence" to.
Even now, it's only multicore when doing full table scans (iirc...)
Unrelated to the climate change stuff I think you need to differentiate "the process" and "the models" (which is the result of the process). Epicycles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deferent_and_epicycle) was a good predictive model used for a while and developed as a part of science process. Yet, I think we all agree that Copernicus was right challenging them and he did it in accordance with the science process.

You appear to be thinking that problems can typically be replicated in a lab without sending an expert to the remote site. My supercomputing startup (PathScale) made specialized networks for supercomputers. While most problems could be solved with remote diagnostics, I still spent a lot of time flying to customer sites. Sure, you can call it "a last resort", but it's necessary if the problem can't be replicated in the lab.
Sure, but in a lot of matters where Iceland can make a decision, it can be effected by relatively small numbers of people, something I like very much.
How to perfect content marketing strategy with process management
> That's not true though, R doesn't have ...

Your comparing a general purpose language and a domain specific language.

Domain specific just talking in statistics and data science. I don't need a webframe work I need to make my report and have the charts work. I also push out my reports in Word and PowerPoint and I can't do that in Python but I can in R with ReportR library (The whole reason why I left Python and Pandas and came to R)

I say if you want to do more then the domain specific then sure Python is an awesome language and you can use your Python skills for more, but if you want the extras that the domain specific language gives you come on board.

To say R is a "Pointless Language" is very troll like especially with companies spend millions of investment and infrastructure that have come to R in the last 24 months.

I could also say what I always say about Python. It is the World's Great Second Best Lanaguge. It doesn't do anything "best", but it is a awesome second best and if that is fine with you have fun. I love Python but I also see the limits of the language. I thought 15 years ago Python would revolutionize everything and everything would be written in it. We now have Lua that took over for game scripting. We have C++ still ruling the day for applications. Web development has been dominated by JavaScript and Mobile development and Python is well .... So the two largest platforms aren't really impacted by Python.

http://www.datasciencecentral.com/forum/topics/what-pays-mos...

http://www.kdnuggets.com/2015/05/r-vs-python-data-science.ht...

It isn't a clear picture but NO way is Python dominating in pay or work. R is a GREAT language and so is Python but for some weird reason Python community hates on R. While the developers of R and Python respect and work with eachother and help both sides. I am shocked you feel Python is so over powerfully awesome.

It clearly doesn't cover "unix and unix-like" shells, since fish shell syntax isn't supported. It seems to be trying to be bash-compatible since it uses bashlex under the hood, but as another commented noticed, the bash parsing isn't perfect.
You can't "pool sovereignty". This is a rhetorical trick designed to make people forget that they are not getting what they want.

When everyone agrees on something, you don't have to coerce them. So sure, their sovereignty is pooled.

As soon as someone disagrees on something, they have to be forced to accept the group's decision. Typically there's some sort of horse trade going on so that nobody gets everything they want, because there's several things on the table.

Yes collective action problems are real, but there's no reason the collective needs to be larger and larger and encompass all issues rather than just a subset. Let decisions be made at the local level by default, and the few things that need regional or global action, have a talk about that. If what you're bringing up is compelling, a lot of other countries will agree.

No, there are many solutions to the deficit. Raising fares, more advertising revenue, more funding from tax revenue, lower level of services, etc.

Well, there unfortunately seems to be a very large percentage of Americans who like their imaginary friends a little too much which had ruined the public discourse about climate change (and many other discussions). I have honestly given up on convincing any of these people. I'd like to just ignore them but that doesn't work in a democracy and see what we got now. So if spending some money on insane research just so that we can properly disprove it gives us even a chance to convince them then maybe that's worth it?

I'm pessimistic though and expect the "research" to be picked up by very right wing media while the evidence that disproves it will be ignored just like it's now.

Carnegie Mellon CyLab Challenge: Learn Hacking at School
This has to do with scale, and skin-in-the-game. You share things with people you trust. On a small scale, you're just a tightly knit group or community. On a large scale, you're a cog in a cyberpunk machine.

In a small community, people know each other. They also know who's spreading a given rumor. People tend to have great instincts, so if the person spreading the rumor is notoriously unreliable, they'll already have acquired that reputation, and the rumor won't have sway. And people can spread rumors, but rumors can spread about them, too, so they behave. None of that is true in cybermundo. Journalists spread lies about you? Millions who'd never even heard of you before now believe them, and your life is ruined.

You can't have high-trust societies on a high scale.
Simply put, I fail to see any path from state-of-the-art ML/DL research today to AGI

Before I really understood and worked with NN, I felt the same way. I thought the atomspace computation approach and other similar granular computation paradigms were much more likely to make progress.

However after seeing the striking similarities between how I watched my three kids learn from infant -> toddler ages and how we build our convolutional neural nets in my company, it was like a light went on.

If you look at how relatively sparse and weak even the best deep nets are compared to human brains, especially considering a really narrow set of inputs - we are at the very early beginnings of mimicking the complexity of the human brain. It seems to me that the ANN approach is right, we now need to make it radically more efficient and give it better input sensors.

We need a nervous system for AGI (structured data acquisition) before the big brain tasks will be solved.

First, I live in the US. I get 5 days of paternity leave. I get 3 weeks of PTO separate from that. My company is considerate but there are definitely companies with better packages than mine. Look around if you're unhappy.

Second, from the perspective of the employer, why should he be punished and forced to pay for these things? He's paying you for your labor, that's the exchange that's been set up. He's not your patron and he hasn't pledged to care for you for the rest of your life. He gets no value when you are not working. What is he paying for, and on what basis should the government compel him to do that?

PTO is a perk, not a right. You are not entitled to your employer's money. That's not to say you shouldn't find an employer who will give that perk, but there's no reason the law should compel him to do so (other than the convenience of the employee).

Persistent connections are far more complicated to reason about. I believe what you mean is that this makes it more difficult to scale PHP, which is arguably true, but at the same time it forces you to understand underlying concepts.
Very nice! I fed it one of my favorite commands:

git branch --merged | grep -v master | xargs -n 1 git branch -d

and it dealt with it reasonably well. The only part it couldn't understand was `branch -d` at the end. In other words, it was not capable of recognizing that the non-option arguments to `xargs` should actually be recursively interpreted as a command-line.

You might find MIT Scheme interesting, because it has a built-in Emacs clone. Just call (edit) and you're in.

I think what it really comes down to is that writing and maintaining an editor (especially a good one) is a very large task. A language that lets you use an editor you already like thus has a double advantage, with the possible downside that the integration won't be as good as possible. SLIME is pretty nice though.
