> Sorry, not a reasonable interpretation. No single system can both vet current candidates and prevent the radicalization of progeny that may not yet even be born. No single system can even prevent the radicalization of existing progeny and simultaneously vet the parents. The very idea is simply absurd, ergo, not reasonable.

Depends on what "prevent means." "Only you can prevent forest fires." Does that mean you can keep every forest fire from happening? Of course not. It means you can take measures directed at trying to reduce the number of forest fires. You can certainly take measures directed at trying to reduce radicalization (e.g. through ongoing contact).

> The fact that he stipulated radicalization of progeny as a separate clause requiring a second system does not support this charitable interpretation.

Grammatically, the function of preventing radicalization is ascribed to the "system" in the previous clause.

> This merely implies that they were both wrong in stating that no vetting exists. Agreeing with Clinton does not somehow entail Trump was correct.

Or it means that both are using the word "vetting" to mean something more than the process that exists now. That's a basic feature of human discussion: terms take on a meaning in context.

> So then you agree that what Trump said was literally false, even if some would like us to be more charitable in interpreting his words. If this were an isolated incident, that may even be a reasonable expectation.

You're the one who proposed the standard, which is literal falsity under any reasonable interpretation (which happens to be the criminal standard). In the context of an extemporaneous, spoken statement, "no good system" can be a reasonable interpretation of "no system." People regularly omit qualifiers when speaking. E.g. "nobody thinks that ketchup ice cream tastes good" or "everybody in the office hates the new guy."

> But I can cite a plethora of evidence of Trump constantly making such literally false claims, with others executing ever more elaborate gymnastics to interpret him charitably. This past and continuing behaviour suggests your charitable interpretation does not reasonably reflect Trump's actual meaning.

The purpose of this exercise is not to discern Trump's "actual meaning." (The legal standard for falsity of statements is objective, not subjective.) You can write a very good analysis of what Trump actually means and why you think he's wrong. But you'd call that "political analysis" not "fact checking." If you need to make assumptions and exclude charitable interpretations to falsify something, it's not a fact and the exercise you're engaged in cannot be called fact-checking.

To charlseism, sorry you are wise.

I wasn't really making the point of the war itself (who did what) more on the number of people that died and what "we" overcame and then in the future we have this BS that we deal with. Still what about back then, their "ideals" with women cooking at home and that was their life. I don't know like I said I'm ignorant.

(easy way out of an argument just keep saying I'm dumb) also not take responsibility for what I say. Ahh well... I'm like a baby that was discarded and should not have survived but somehow I made it, defective unit. What is success anyway, money? Peace of mind.

Lessons from growing up in the spice trade
I'm finding myself going back to Slashdot as of late. It's quality is not what it was once upon a time, and there's still more trolls there than I'd like, but now that it's not popular it's surprisingly easy to find good conversation (and the trolls are usually well moderated)
I never said that the mainland has not produced anything innovative. The WeChat platform and DJI are good examples. (Sorry but Didi is not innovative.) My main point is that current conditions in China are not conducive to innovation. I strongly feel that there would be way more game changers like WeChat if the conditions in the mainland improved; even more so than the US and the EU combined. right now the conditions in China tend to just favor making larger and bigger copies of what already exist elsewhere and not anything really new

> Unless, you propose a "workless wage" where the average person gets something like 70k just for being alive.

> Which then, why work?

The same reason people already making 70K working a certain number of hours with a certain degree of effort expend additional effort to make more if they can do so: because wants are unlimited.

Of course the level of universal income an economy support varies by the degree of automation and other factors (including cultural factors), so it's best to start small, and set it up so it scales smoothly and naturally with the capacity of the system to support it rather than simply targeting a particular (basic or otherwise) level.
That's helpful, thanks!

I definitely appreciate the power of generics, especially when you can to generics over values instead of just types. But I'm having trouble seeing the value of the compile-time introspection, for the most part it doesn't seem to give you much more power than generics do. Could you give me an example of the "killer feature" introspection gives over generics? Bonus points if you can compare it to Rust-style generics with traits and specialization.

Put into perspective: A picker in a warehouse costs conservatively something like $25/h (labour costs, management, HR, breaks, hiring costs, etc).

$25/h * 2000h/year = $50,000/year. Any robot that can replace a single picker that costs less than $250,000 would earn back it's capital in five years. And this robot? I don't think it costs a quarter million. I bet it costs in 5-figures.

The biggest barrier will be if they can produce these fast enough to meet demand.

In the case of New Orleans, some of that high ground is within the city itself. If flooding eventually becomes frequent enough that the federal government decides to relocate flood insurance claimants and stop funding the Army Corps of Engineers' improvements to the levees, then the city can retreat to its pre-1930 borders. Most of those areas did not flood in Katrina and could get by with a much smaller flood protection system that might be justified by the city's economic productivity.
>>There isn't a formula for success because "success" doesn't have a firm definition.

Yeah, but when someone says "Marc Andreessen is successful" most people are able to deduce the criteria that was used to make that judgment. So while "success" as a whole may not have a firm definition, "be successful like Marc Andreessen" may.

Wants are theoretically unlimited, however in practice people have a few set of wants they need to have fulfilled to be "content." See: new video games, new computer specs, new car, etc.

I would disagree with HN having "quality discussion". I've honestly never seen dang come down on someone where I agreed with it.

I've seen him moderate people because they're posting too much "anti-this or anti-that". Not because of their behavior, but because he didn't like what they were posting.

And this community is aware that dang will do that, so you watch them flag ideas that absolutely have no reason for being moderated.

To be quite frank, I don't really like HN's community, I mostly lurk for the interesting things that get posted, rather than the discussion that comes afterwards.

HN is about backrubbing discussion, I don't know that I'd call it good or quality discussion. That's not to say you don't see good discussion here or there, but in general? no, absolutely not.

ToMuchWork,DidNotThink;

I think, having a chain of trusted people, who i know too thin, vouching for a articles truth, would be nearly as good?
Indeed. WoW was great for that and I enjoyed it but there was always a piece missing.

The politics of games like UO and Shadowbane where a thief stealing a single valuable item from some folks farming for the guild could set off a huge war with backstabbing and deceit and alliances and everything else really made those games dramatic and fun.

Yeah you'd lose your stuff sometimes too and the most scary thing in the game was seeing a group of players from an aggressive guild descending on your farming and XP group. Everyone would scatter like buffalo being hunted by a group of lions.

It was hard to setup towns near valuable farming resources and there would be battles for dominance. All the different player personalities would take on different roles that appealed to them in a guild - some where the leaders who worked out deals and alliances; others were social butterflies who like to chat and farm; others liked to help harass enemies and some were mercenaries ready to work for whoever paid them. And other people enjoyed going solo as a thief and hated by all but other thieves.

It was a world only as good as the players could make it with what felt like real consequence to decisions and actions. Trust mattered.

Living a Lie: We Deceive Ourselves to Better Deceive Others
Armory (YC W17) is hiring senior polyglot engineers
We're looking for our next two engineering hires (San Mateo, CA, ONSITE only).

We are a seed + YC funded, early stage startup with real paying customers. Get in early; influence the outcome.

If you are a polyglot who loves startups then please apply here: http://go.Armory.io/YC-Apply . You’ll never talk to a recruiter, ever. We offer same day offers as your onsite interview whenever possible.

Engineers at companies should be empowered to deploy their own code, in the background, continuously, without downtime or errors. We are working on commercializing Spinnaker, an open source immutable infrastructure CD platform from Netflix that enables blue/green deploys, canaries & rollbacks, so it “just works” for the enterprise by injecting safety, velocity, intelligence, auditing, and compliance.

• Why Armory? Here’s a series of short videos from our investors on why they invested in Armory: http://go.armory.io/why-armory

• We're "making deployments boring (and fast)" by commercializing Spinnaker, an open source CI/CD platform: http://go.Armory.io/Evaluate
It's a witch hunt. Science (rather, life sciences) has a similar problem. There are just enough (statistically significant) facts to push many agendas. Peer review weeds out some stuff, but that doesn't stop a lot of wrong conclusions being pushed to the public.

Maybe a better solution is adversarial opinionated journalism, rather than this proposed fact-ism.
I am very interested in the technical product manager role, at the company. Could you please tell me your email id. I would like to send you my resume. Here s my contact: tanima@cmu.edu
> It's not "benefit of the doubt" when you contact someone and ask for the basis of their claim and they provide it,

Of course not, but now that they knew about that data, it should have also applied equally to Trump's claim. They are trying to see who can debate it better or provide better numbers. They should use the same set of facts to judge everybody.

The fact checkers are incredibly biased. There is a Repub one out there does does the same. If you think they two aren't even slightly biased, then you probably drank too much of the Cool-Aid already.
you have to be careful how you structure your sentences, or at least I should pay more attention. There is no way triple speed was comfortably understandable. 2 to 2.25 would be a lot already. 3x is probably a ludicrous maximum that no user should could complain about.

> There is this weird effect in American politics where each wing considers the other to be the authoritarian one.

It is weird, in a way, yes. I think, though, that when you think from each side's point of view, it makes sense that that's the case.

> The American right loves its military industrial complex, its police crackdowns, its bank bailouts, its manifest destiny, and so on. These are not left wing institutions in creed or membership.

I think you are painting with too broad a brush. There is far more nuance in what is considered "the American right" than you imply. Five minutes on the Internet and you can find people who are obviously considered "on the right" who don't agree with any of those things.

> You could ask the same question: do you not see rightism (ingroup loyalty, moral purity, respect for authority) as naturally decaying into authoritarianism?

I would ask you to more clearly define rightism, because those three things are just as prevalent on the left, if not moreso.

Replying to @clavalle... Thanks for the thoughtful reply - I appreciate the chance to engage on this!

I understand the concept of probabilistic valuation of risks/opportunities of a given candidate, and if that were practically quantifiable in the real world, I agree that it would represent a sound way to price an offer (provided you also factored in the cost of losing a candidate and having to put more resources towards finding an equivalent or better candidate)... [1]

Unfortunately, in practice, a candidate has to be evaluated more coarsely as "good enough to hire" or "not good enough to hire". There's no way you could in good conscience employ someone who couldn't do the work - even if they came at a discount. That means that there definitely is budget surplus any time you hire someone at less than your maximum budget. There is a fixed amount you're able to pay to get the work done, and that is at the max of your budget range.

Strategically, then, the max of the range offered represents the minimum a qualified candidate should target in a negotiation... Your mileage may vary, of course, with the skill of the negotiator.

[1] By the way, I highly recommend Algorithms to Live By for an interesting discussion around the use of such methods in practice.
You will do OK in London with 40k as your starting salary (if you are single). Senior Python devs would do north of 55k here. Though be prepared you will move flats several times before you land at your perfect spot.

London is huge, so is the market. So is the competition :-)

I have never been to Ottawa. I have moved to London 7 years ago, feel free to ask more questions if you have some.
Yeah. Entrepreneurs need to know that the average response they get in the stage seed is all about social proof. When you look like a struggling guy saying something crazy, the public is going to treat you that way. You're going to get that all the way up until you look like a rich guy, and then they'll be begging to know what you did to get there and trying to copy it.

This means that public response to the bare idea is never a good barometer, and you have to look to other things for data about whether it's going to be successful enough. This requires rigorous study and brutally honest introspection.

Don't get bent out of shape if people don't understand or respect what you're doing, but don't assume you're invincible or automatically right. Some wanna-be entrepreneurs waste their entire adult lives starting failing business after failing business, assuming that starting a business is the key to success, and that any idea they have is intrinsically valuable. Don't do this.
> Do you have any sourced information that suggests what is on Wikipedia is wrong?

This implies that you've never read anything negative about Wikipedia. I feel like, if that's the case, you must either have avoided such information, or have just gotten Internet access for the first time. If you would honestly love to hear it, then you could have already found it by using Google.

> By analogy, what makes the latest Intel processors so much better than an 8086 has a little bit to do with the 64-bit architecture, but a lot more to do with the radically smaller transistors.

I'm not sure you can draw that distinction. I don't program the transistors, I program the architecture, and the 64-bit architecture is massively better than the 8086 architecture. But the 64-bit architecture would not be possible without the radically smaller transistors, because it requires so many more of them, and that wouldn't be possible (on a realistic die size) without the smaller transistors.
Then the game becomes a little too realistic and the lack of wolves creates a over-supply of beavers which in turn screw up the sources of water for the villages and then you are prosecuted for the death of a lot of cattle by dehydration but you get away with it by bribing the judge; so _now_ you can say you are definitely a business.
Re: tech creates jobs, Tyler Cowen's Average is Over has an interesting passage about automation:

"Keeping an unmanned Predator drone in the air for twenty-four hours requires about 168 workers laboring in the background. A larger drone, such as the Global Hawk surveillance drone, needs about 300 people...an F-16 fighter aircraft requires fewer than 100 people for a single mission."

It's well known that the industrial revolution created countless new jobs that were unimaginable at the time, a sentiment echoed in The Second Machine Age by Brynjolfsson. But how do you pick the winners that will bring the most jobs? Some say disruptive innovation, but it still seems like an open question.

I'll add that I don't think a game like that can ever really exist again. At least not with the dynamic those games had.

At the time there were no other options for people who wanted to play an MMO. You had to enter that world. So it was made up of all types of people but mainly you could break the community into 2 groups: Wolves and Sheep.

There were always plenty of sheep for the wolves to hunt for and terrorize and for the "hero wolves" to come in and protect. The relationships were real.

As soon as WoW came out anyone who preferred the sheep role (farming, socializing, building community, etc) had no reason to play a game they could be killed and have their spoils taken. It became a hassle when WoW gave them a peaceful world to coexist in. Where your enemy couldn't really hurt you or take anything you've worked for. A nice, safe space. The wolf types just became the hard core raiders competing to get eventual identical gear first and the sheep were the casual raiders and farmers and social butterflies.
