I've been traveling more so i've been studying data and usage as it applies to my personal usage.

The result: I've had to completely turn off cellular data for web browsing.

I can use mobile apps fine; chess.com, slack, telegram, email, etc. Streaming even pandora is out, but luckily they have an offline mode that allows you to download your station when you're on wifi and then play back whenever. But I can't browse the internet at all.

I'd be willing to spend up to $50 a month for a limited package, but at most that seems to get me is 1-2GB when I'm in Canada unless I want to sign another long term contract.

Every page i download, every news article, easily 2-3MB, and when your total data allotment is 500MB, you just can't browse the internet. Even hacker news, a popular post ends up being 1MB worth of comments.
This is insane and will not end well. I suspect it'll not be nearly as damaging as it should be for the US, though.

I have upvoted your comment, regardless of the technical accuracy of your wording. In the edition of the book that I first read, Pirsig included this information in an afterword and although it wasn't a core part of the original narrative it certainly was expressed as an update or continuation. And having travelled the journey with father, son and ghost until that point, it was a heartbreaking epilogue.

> Yad Vashem is working with Jewish organisations in those countries to try to reach remaining survivors in the former Soviet Union, where the Holocaust was not officially commemorated, and who may have little awareness of the memorial's existence.

This is an unbelievably cavalier piece of revisionism. The USSR never commemorated the camps they themselves liberated? Holocaust denial in Russia is still a criminal offense, how totally absurd.

This is going to sound snarky but I don't mean it that way: I agree that it's unfair to separate people based on their religion, but I think you want to take that complaint up with the Third Reich. We've come to a point in the conversation where I felt the need to write the sentence "European Jews were deliberately, carefully, and systematically targeted by the Third Reich", which suggests to me that something has gone wrong either in our dialog or the thread.

I don't know a lot about the service, but two of the three experts are not students. The third is a PhD student which I hold in a higher regard in terms of knowledge than a typical undergrad college student. If they identify accurately I'd think it matters even less. Also, only $1 so you get what you pay for?
> Was it simply bad design?

No, just a cultural difference. Most of the early emoji in Unicode were drawn from the existing set of emoji already in use in Japanese telecom. As such, these emoji have a strong Japanese cultural bias in their original meanings.

One of the goals of Unicode is to be able to encode text from existing encodings. In (informal) Japanese communication these emoji were in use, so Unicode encoded them.

Readers of Japanese comics are probably familiar with most of these facial expressions, including that triumphant look. The Samsung one on emojipedia is probably closest to that emoji's archetype.

Those aren't mutually exclusive. It's much easier to write a test for an issue if you know what the issue is.
Not handing out, but lending out.

Bailing out households would be a far more political decision. The Fed could impose constraints on banks participating in TARP, to make sure the money gets paid back. The same wouldn't be possible to practically do with households.
I bet his mind was blown the first time he got a flat. "Right now this tire is worth more than the selling price of the whole motorcycle." Or ran out of fuel. "Right now that Citgo sign is worth more than the selling price of the whole motorcycle." It sounds profound, except it's not.

That's one thing that drives me crazy when I talk to people. When the other party does something they are outraged but when their own guy does it, it's suddenly OK. I guess the parties have achieved the final goal. People are not even capable of looking at a situation anymore and make up their mind. Instead they just blindly follow what they are being told.
It's not like the net impact on borrowers of reinflating the housing bubble was negative.

The 330V is for sure a misprint. It doesn't look like they have the insulation for a high voltage motor, so my guess would be 30/33V @15A. Reading the linked spec sheet confirms it's in the range. That would put it much closer to a cordless drill motor. (450W, not 5kW, which is obviously impossible on 120VAC/15A)

I understand both you and I (probably, I'm sorry if I am wrong in my assumption and you actually work in mental health) have strong experiences that, in the big scheme of things, are just anecdotic evidence on this subject. With that in mind, I read the book (a few times), and have someone diagnosed with borderline disorder in the family, and don't find many coincidence points between Robert/Phaedrus as described there, and my experiences.

Perhaps a bit with Chris, though, and maybe that is what you meant.

Back to the 'whole selling point' I think he was being overly dramatic, it's a novel after all. I think his point comes across better when he goes through the value traps part of the book, and interpret his point the following way:

Sometimes you are working on some machine (physical, like his motorcycle, or abstract, like software), and you get stuck on a problem due to a seemingly very meaningless part of said machine. I think his 'whole selling point' message is: when this happens, you need to reassess the value you give this part, as, until you get to resolve what it is causing it to get you stuck, its value to you is pretty much the value of the whole machine. Like how a crashing bug means that specific software is useless, in the specific use case that triggers the bug, until that is fixed. If it's some weird edge case, the software may be perfectly usable for most people, but if you are one of the few affected by it, the most likely few lines of code causing the defect render the whole thing useless, they're the selling point of the software to you individually.

Now, obviously, speaking of the actual physical motorcycle, it's not that he can't sell it without resolving the problem that particular screw is causing him. There are probably skilled mechanics with the right training and tools for which the screw would cause little to no problem. But to him: he can't ride it until that is resolved, so the screw is as important as the entire machine until he gets that resolved.

I faced this specific problem just a couple of days ago and remembering the book (which I read years ago) helped me step away from the problem and come back to it with a fresh angle. But the reality was the same: it's not that I would have lost my physical entity (a window, in this case). Surely, I could have called a professional carpenter to help me with it. But to me, without getting someone else involved, that little piece (it was also a screw, a rusty one) was worth the whole window.
I dont know if the book you had was correct, but in one of his interviews, Feynmen had mentioned he used a book called 'calculus for the practical man' (https://www.amazon.com/Calculus-Practical-Man-J-Thompson/dp/...) i think.

I don't have an answer, but emojis seem to have been inspired by the Japanese culture. Perhaps steam from the nose is a common Japanese representation of victory?

I get that emojis were first invented for use on Japanese phones, but I don't understand why they kept them Japanese oriented when merged into Unicode? There's ideographs [1], acronyms that are relevant only to JP [2] and fish on a pole [3]

Surely we could've made better use of the Unicode space to use a common set of symbol shared by all cultures.

I'm inclined to strongly agree with smsm42. There is something deeper than funding journalists. Ideologies (special interest groups) are far too powerful and connected through other means to simply disappear. They will collaborate and infiltrate anything that has visibility and a reputation.

Will Wikipedia shut out these ideologies? Of course not. It will favour some ideologies over others and you at straight back to where we are now. This was well summarised in the article about WWIII yesterday on HN. The crux of the WWIII article covered all forms of bias, but ideologies still equally applied to the pitfalls identified.

Let's say for a minute the Wikimedia board put one of each ideologist type on the board (1 for each religion, sex, ethnicity, colour of skin, sexual orientation, etc). It would exclude some ideologies (eg. ISIS) and favour others (eg. Christianity). Subgroups would form among the wider group and political correctness would kick in (especially if it stroked the preferences of editors, founders, lead sponsors, vocal readers, etc).

As somebody else mentioned here, Wikipedia is a basket case on anything controversial. Often, one side of a topic is watered down by mods with an agenda and the opposing view is given carte blanche. I read the comments by editors after I saw how extreme some of the articles were. Editors for one side were exasperated at the lack of impartiality.

I don't have an answer. Simplisticly, you could start with egalitarianism and exclude special interest groups. Reject political correctness. If it is divisive (eg. Special interest groups), then block them all. However, this isn't tenable and limits some worthy/essential discussion. As soon as you allow divisiveness (eg. Special interest groups), you are destined to fail.

Even if egalitarianism won out (ie. no divisiveness), the authors would still inject their own prejudices. I believe wired tries to be egalitarian, but, the authors who support certain ideologies still slip in one-sided comments frequently. They do this sufficiently frequently that I can usually pick the ideologies supported by their staff. To their credit, they are very mild compared to most other outlets.

There are conflicting needs, too many politicised groups, too much to gain/lose. Unless the wikimedia leadership has a plan to stop the failures inherent in Wikipedia, this will fail too. Power struggles and division will ultimately (I suspect quickly) corrupt wikimedia. It will become a war of numbers (as somebody else said). They will also follow the funding.

I disagree that session affinity, or any affinity for that matter is a scalability anti-pattern. Why add more load on Redis or the Database if you can do it in the app server? Your just adding latency and increasing database load. Unused memory in the app server is free candy.
Of course it would. Think of say Abraham "I would never tell a lie" Lincoln. Who chased after a woman in the freezing snow to give her back her 20p. Our heroes always been moulded into idealised versions of themselves, a sort of mythological figures. You probably think it's evil because it seems like historic revisionism, i.e. what Stalin, Kim, etc. have done. I think it's justified to tell small white lies like this, like "Feynman respected women", if it helps people be better towards each other.

Depends on what you mean by emoji, but all of the emoji you can use on smartphones and in social media tend to be part of the Unicode standard. They are like any other Unicode character; i.e., they have their own codepoint assigned, and can be represented in a valid Unicode encoding such as UTF-8. Some can be modified with modifying characters (skin colour is a modifiable attribute these days), but this too is not a new feature (e.g., combining diacritic characters do this too, although mostly you would just use the composed variants (like é) instead).

Consider further that there's only 6 media companies in the country and they're all huge mega-conglomerates with billions of dollars in government contracts on the line. A person in a position of political power can easily nudge a contract to a competitor if you don't play ball, costing you millions in a single contract.

I mean sure, the government needs things from the media too. We saw CNN give Hillary the secret debate questions during the primary. Rather than going public with this atrocity Clinton just fucking used the information. Literally one person from CNN got fired, but she's got a job at the DNC now so it's totes cool. I think it's safe to assume that this sort of thing is far more common than we'd like to admit.
Just wanted to thank you for that information. And also give you some feedback on commenting. The HN commennt guidelines mention to not insinuate someone hasn't read the article. What you might not know is that I did read the section you quote, but I did not know enough to resolve it myself without asking a question. When I read that you didn't think I had, I felt you were saying, the answer would be obvious if you had read it. That hurt because it was like saying my question was stupid, which I don't like and I don't want to feel discouraged from asking questions in future. Anyway, thanks for your information, and I hope this feedback is useful.

The Diseases You Only Get If You Believe in Them
> I imagine it would be quite hard to come up with good debugging examples for a class.

Here's a high-level idea that might be doable in the right circumstances.

Get one or two hardware guys from an engineering company near the institution to come out with an old version of their silicon that has a fairly rapidly (but not necessarily trivially) triggerable bug. Set the system up, run over how it works, explain the ins and outs of the debug environment/setup, make the bug fire, and spend the next $class_length getting the students to try and figure the bug out.

If the guys can't come back for repeat sessions, they explain it at the end.

I suggest previous-gen silicon in the hope this would decrease the NDA requirement. Then again, even that may not be enough; obviously this would be CPU dependent. But even if the chip was otherwise NDA'd, if it uses a popular (or at least non-NDA'd) core and the bug is in there, that could work too - maybe you could do a partnership type thing with a custom build of the debugger that has NDA'd components hidden.

Maybe you can set up VNC or RDP from student laptops back to the test setup up the front, maybe the students can just backseat-drive. But just describing this, I'm excited, I'd totally want to go to a class like this! (Which was why I tried to think of ways to get around the NDA issue)

Indeed, the Samsung one was the only one I found "triumphant"! ;)

Agreed, Zen and the Art has real narrative value - including considerable suspense - whether you buy the philosophy or not. And frankly I do, despite understanding why some call it hippy pseudo-psychology. His second book Lila goes into it more methodically - but the literary narrative there is not so taught, kind of sadder.

I don't think there is any reason to believe that the brain is like a computer in any meaningful way. Both the brain and an electronic computer are able to operate on information, but beyond that the differences between the two far outweigh the similarities on pretty much every level. Even neural nets (that is, the machine learning algorithm) are just general, very simplified, models of how some parts of the brain are constructed. True, neural nets can do things similar to things that the brain can do (like describing images) but this is really only a facile similarity, to my understanding.
