Teaching kids to sit for a 90-minute fancy meal sounds like the height of aristocratic folly. Didn't the French Revolution stamp this out? I'd be in favor of my kids learning to cook such a meal, though.
That's a thing that always bothers me about these articles.

If the standard of success for a gifted grade school kid is to be a Nobel laureate, that's a little warped.

My grandfather was one of the smartest guys I ever met. Through the circumstances of fate, he couldn't get education beyond the 8th grade. Yet he tutored my mom in calculus and did all sorts of good things for people. By any standard of mine, he lived a long, fruitful and successful life... yet he's a failure in the debate of an article like this.
Why we supposed to copy everything the French do? Aren't they regarded as rude? That implies​ not being considerate...
What I'm doing with my life is both serious and entertaining. I laugh at myself all the time because some of the things I do are genuinely hilarious!

I stopped showering for 4 days after initial success with trying to see a stick figure that moves with my body on the back of my closed eyelids.

The persistent thought haunting me?

"What if it's all in my head?"

Fucking with your mind fucks with your mind, typically in very funny ways.

As for not being able to understand any of this stuff, perception is key to learning. Perhaps practice choosing to believe things? Start with small, easy to believe things that are inconsequential to your life, but still meaningful. An example would be temporarily choosing to believe an opposing political stance has merit and then seeking the merit. Everyone has a reason for believing what they do, so go find perfectly valid reasons to believe something crazy. It'll get easier to do the more you practice.

If you want a simpler practice, go "look at the space between branches" and enjoy the different spaces you find. The skill progression comes from loosening your definition of the words in that phrase. Here's a starting point: go from finding 2D shapes to 3D ones.
Why do you assume kids are problems to begin with? I have met hundreds of kids during my adult life and the highest any of them has risen to for me is minor annoyance. I've had more trouble from my cars.
> If all the leaks in the past decade have shown anything it's that everyone spies on everyone. It's been like that forever too.

It may have been like that for a long time, but it's not entirely true anymore. The leaks show an emergent trend of cooperation between the western intelligence agencies, i.e. the "fourteen eyes".

This is the most worrying part IMO. Now you have a small elite sitting on enough power to take out anyone or control pretty much all information on the internet. We laugh at Baidu and Yandex, but if these people want something they'll have it.
Um, the raising of children is literally the thing that allows a civilization to continue.
> "These measures don't correlate well with the physician's credentials."

This. I think I've even posted about this here before. This has been my wife's experience too (surgeon). She trained with highly regarded academic surgeons that set the treatment recommendations and standards for her field. Then during her job search she went to a center with, well, surgeons not at all academic and she had a life changing moment because she realized their operations and outcomes (utilization, efficiency etc.) are far far better. At the academic centers you are recognized based on your research and publications, not on your surgical skills. These academic surgeons with relatively little experience are setting the standards for how the operation should be done and what the treatments should be. This is not at all recognized in her field unfortunately and is quite literally harming patients every day because of substandard treatment standards.
Reddit is still alive ? And they plan to kill it faster by adding facebook-like features. Well too bad but it seems that every time a quality website gets too popular the quality goes down the drain and the people who made the website great in the first place move away to greener pastures then the website gets sold, sells out or evolves into something else in a desperate attempt to recapture its now gone past.

HN is one exception to this, but has HN ever got hugely popular or is it limited to a certain category of people ?

If you have hundreds of optics and the difference is $1100 vs $2000 per unit, that could be $180,000 to $200,000 saved. Enough for the cost of one serious core router (half of a twin pair) capable of 400Gbps full duplex per slot. 500m should be more than enough for any optical path within a flat horizontal datacenter.

Facebook didn't do any extra engineering work, they just specced less sensitive Rx parts with the optics OEMS , and 1dB less powerful Tx.
You'd think that in a world of dynamic scaling system resources, we'd have figured out how to scale other supply chains.

Tariffs and such are a virtual constraint, designed to limit intake.

Too bad that governance and enforcement is far too clunky to temporarily relax artificial limits on external foreign products, in a way that permits domestic producers to expand back into the gap that opened up during the shortage.

Lots of systems exist that exhibit this sort of behavior, but international trade falls short in modeling temporary conditions to maintain alignment with changing trends and incidents. It's just hard failures and lock-downs all around.

Source? I've never heard of intelligence being correlated with visual attractiveness.
Thanks so much for the first link, this is really interesting. A couple days ago I was even wondering what would happen if there was a site that aggregated data from here but had independent voting. That wouldn't be ideal though for many obvious reasons. I'm really happy to learn about this initiative!
I'd even go a step further and say "not to use anything labeled social media or social network".
Lets just take resolution. IF you assume 4000 pixels per inch (which as far as I can tell is a reasonable estimate), then it is about (4000 * 4) * (4000 * 5) = 320MP for 4x5 film and (4000 * 8) * (4000 * 10) = 1280MP for 8x10. It's a very big difference.
For what, the territory that's now the country Ukraine?

I'm not saying that 8 centuries ago, that territory was called by that name. Why would it be, when it was still the heartland of Kievan Rus? I'm saying that the word "оукраина" was used to mean borderlands then, such ones as they had.

And then 4 centuries later, that exact word became the name of the border territory of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth that covers pretty much the entirety of today's Western and Central Ukraine, in the language of people inhabiting that territory, said language being a direct descendant of the language spoken 4 centuries before...

I would dare say that a straightforward explanation is that the word retained its meaning, and was used in that meaning, because at that time it really was applicable to the territory in question. All the dots connect here in obvious ways. In contrast, if we assume that "ukraina" was derived from "kraina" for "homeland" instead, and try to backtrack, we need to explain how "u-" got there, and why the fact that the result matched the word that historically meant "borderlands" is entirely coincidental. I've seen some very convoluted explanations of this that could work, but Occam's razor still applies - between two explanations that both match observed evidence, the simpler one is preferable.

Which is probably why the "borderlands" etymology is widely accepted among linguists throughout the world, while various alternative theories all seem to have Ukrainian authors. I get that this is a very politicized question in Ukraine, especially since Russian nationalists and irredentists have been trying to interpret the "borderlands" etymology to imply that Ukraine was historically self-identifying as a border territory of Russia - which is, of course, blatantly false. But I don't think that starting with a premise that is more politically palatable, and then backtracking from there to recreate the (less likely) etymology to fit, is a good way to deal with it.

This is sadly too common if you are not tenured, let alone not a Phd already. Universities treat their non revenue teachers as cattle. And there are darn few professors who bring in money.
Although I do like the design of the website, I'm really frustrated by the fact that 1) it took a couple moments to load because it's a pretty big page, and 2) it hijacks the history and means I couldn't just press back, I had to press back 6-7 times after I finished scrolling. It seemed to load really slow and even scrolling took a while. Why can't it just be a simple page with some JS/CS to see if you've entered a specific section of the page and change the class on the title of the section in the index on the left?

Very sorry to hear. But it's either one or the other, by definition. And if it doesn't meet the strict legal definition of a "layoff" -- that means you were fired. (No matter whether they called is "separated", or "we're ending your work here" -- it's all the same thing).

So it's their failure and not yours?

I have a comparable story; dropped out of school at 15 and didn't touch education since (>15 years ago now), then spent a few years high and drunk: but I'd learnt perl from the camel even before then.

What do you think you are owed? If i hadn't read k&r or learning perl by myself I should then blame my teachers who hadn't read them either? Most of the best folk I've worked with found these things on their own too.

You feel you're "a lost diamond that the system left behind?"

Bitch, who are you blaming here? The only job I could get in that situation was as a cleaner, and I worked my way from there to where I am now while definitely fitting into your category of those the so called "system" couldn't deal with..

If I hadn't learnt to do our thing regardless should I blame someone else?

I think not. Work hard or don't; blaming the system for your failure, while there are people around you who demonstrably made it from worse situations than yours is pathetic in the extreme.
Excellent point. If anything the anecdotal data points to the opposite being true. Hendrix didn't learn guitar until 17. Einstein showed signs of having a genius for math and science in his education, but not anything above warranting anything, but being accepted to a middling teachers college. Edison didn't graduate high school and invented the phonograph in his spare time in his late 20s as a telegraph operator.

Ask HN: How to you manage (food) recipes?
I have a loose collection of links, printouts, emails, books etc. with my favourite recipes. For a while I've wanted to have a "system" for creating & managing recipes, but, I'd rather retain ownership than have it in the cloud.

I was wondering if anyone has a neat system they are using (preferably cli based)? Maybe even just a latex? template. I started down the route of trying to automate creating recipe files in the style of cookingforengineers.com recipe cards [1], but it was getting pretty messy.

I'm just wondering if anyone has a really neat solution to this, otherwise I guess I'll just write everything in markdown and off I go :)

> If, as your post seems to be recommending, such regulations were abolished, Japanese farmers would pretty much cease to exist because of their inability to compete with cheaper imports.

Good, they can do something more useful with their time because Japan does not have a comparative advantage in farming. Having farms in Japan is very inefficient, since there are better regions to grow these crops.

Sure, you can't displace these farmers tomorrow, but slowly increasing the imports is a good idea. For one thing, it would decrease the cost of living for the average Japanese person, even if farmers are negatively affected.

Why is a farmer more important than a city dweller?

Oh, you're in a for a treat! Jamie Zawinski wrote wonderfully on the topic of the rewrite of Netscape Navigator (e.g. Mozilla): https://www.jwz.org/gruntle/nomo.html

There have been other posts about it, but that's a reasonable place to start. Spolsky has also written about the dangers of rewrites, including Mozilla as one very public case study.

Interestingly, jwz also had a lot of things to say about the mail client that became Thunderbird, back when it was part of the Netscape suite.

There's a really long history with the Mozilla projects, and many lessons have had to be learned multiple times. I wonder if perhaps this is one of those occasions. Then again, the best thing that ever happened to Mozilla was Firefox, and that was one lone programmer deciding to (kinda) rewrite the damned thing to be lean and mean and scuttle all of the ancillary crap that Mozilla had accrued over the years. Maybe Thunderbird needs the same treatment...but, where's the Blake Ross to do it?

Why is local agriculture more important than local customers?
I didn't talk at all till I was 5 years old. I turned out well. But my parents were the opposite of helicopter parents though. I literally just did whatever I wanted all the time. I use to walk around a swamp near by, by myself or with friends, to catch turtles and snakes. Never got in trouble for grades. Got in a fight once when I was in 5th grade. Most my Mom did was ask me if I got any good hits in. lol
It‘s not as simple as that.

Japan‘s agricultural system was intended to be a temporary prop, to help agriculture recover after the War. The people would experience inflated prices and erratic supplies, but that was thought a price worth paying.

The system has been kept in place for decades longer than its stated purpose required. The forces that keep it in place are powerful, and democratic only in the loosest sense of the word.
I would assume because maintaining some level of domestic food production would be important for national security.
Maybe. OTOH, big glass pretty much negates any advantage of mirrorless systems so (other than the effects of buying into a new system) there's less potential for add-on sales with mirrorless. But then most people don't buy many lenses anyway.
Exactly! And that's what we don't care about.
Have some unrelated Google Maps trivia I just discovered.

1. Scroll down to the map and the end, and zoom all the way in. For me the tileset goes back in time to before the building was finished. I initially thought "wow, Google merged an overhead render from the architect!", but when I followed the "View larger map" link zooming in showed the completed building. TIL Maps uses different tilesets for different APIs!

2. See your avatar at the top-right of the embedded map view? Hover that, and you'll see "+YourUsername", just like in the old +Google days. Wow :P

I'm guessing this site is using a legacy embed API or something. These were fun glitches to stumble on though.
I don't think GP was making a political statement, just commenting on the buried lead, but I'll play devil's advocate.

I want farmers to have jobs too. I'd still find it sad if that were the rationale here, though, because while protectionist measures can save jobs, they remain one of the worst tools to do so, typically costing several hundred thousand dollars per job.

Tire manufacturing jobs saved at $900,000 per job:
https://piie.com/publications/policy-briefs/us-tire-tariffs-...

Textile jobs saved at a cost of $4 million per job:
http://www.heritage.org/report/the-textile-and-apparel-trade...

Sugar quotas costing $800,000 per job:
http://davidstockmanscontracorner.com/41418/

Those are all US examples. Maybe the Japanese are better at saving jobs through protectionism and get a better return on their restrictions, but those are 10-100 times the salaries in those fields. It seems unlikely they are closing that gap.

Sadly there's just no free lunch. It's like the second law of thermodynamics for economies.

When you shut down economic activity to improve health and welfare, that's fine, you can accomplish a lot that's useful for society.

But when you try to shut down economic activity to create wealth, you generally pay far more than you were trying to save.*

* With the possible exception of infant industry protection, but that's controversial, and hardly an exact science. Either way, potato farming is hardly some new technology where Japan is likely to corner the global market once they build up a little more volume.
The author's (eponymous) series on Graphical Linear Algebra is well worth reading, and has some interesting parallelisms to boolean functions & their manipulation.
I think it's worth adding though - articles like these aren't kernel's, they're just programs running on the bare-metal. This stuff (booting the computer and getting to a sane environment) is really the easy part, designing the kernel and creating the kernel's facilities that it provides to programs is the bulk of the work when writing a kernel/OS.

That's not to say these articles are bad, they're still fun, but it's like having a "simple emulator in 24 hours" that just sets up a simple GUI and doesn't actually start designing the emulator. It's technically the start of an emulator, but while that part might actually be complicated it's still not really that relevant to designing an emulator.

The reason to use 4x5 or larger is usually because you can tilt/swing the lens in various ways, thus adjusting in-camera for perspective problems.

As well, doing this, you can modify the plane of what is in-focus, which cannot be corrected for in current cameras. A typical example would be tilting the front of the camera (with the lens mounted on it) so that both near and far flowers would be perfectly in focus. see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scheimpflug_principle

Also, see http://www.betterlight.com/products4X5.html for an idea of file sizes and current # of pixels available: a 4x5 scanning back that does both 24bit and 48 bit color at 8000x10600 pixels is available for less than many medium format setups.
Why do you assume that the primary purpose of the regulatory regime is to maintain high standards?
What he's talking about is partly an optical effect caused by the enlargement of the image in different formats. Consider three film cameras--a 35mm, a MF, and a 4x5 LF camera, each with a lens that covers the same angle of view. That means that for a given film, the small format is compressed relative to the larger format--less film is used to capture detail and tonal variation. An object covering 2mm of film in one format may be covering 10mm of film in the larger format, but the film itself has the same amount of grain per mm in either case.

It may be difficult to make a direct comparison to digital, since pixel size and density vary so much across cameras, and those variable have a somewhat different affect on picture quality.
oh but its already started. Dont think robots though, think ai, digitalization etc.
Great article. It's pretty obvious to me that 90% of what is happening here is guys who are missing the military structure, adventure and comradeship of serving in the Middle East are meeting up and trying to recreate what they are missing by finding an excuse to be needed.
