I don't actually watch the "channel", but The Expanse is produced by SyFy and is excellent.

And, yeah, Duck Dynasty and Cake Boss are nowhere near where A&E and TLC were when they launched, but they are family-centered sitcoms, more or less, in a time with a lack of those.

Wait, what? A closure can be a lambda and a lambda can be a closure, but you can have closures that aren't lambdas and lambdas that aren't closures. Why link them together at all? "A closure with an empty environment" is only a lambda if it's unnamed, otherwise it's just a function.

I can't speak for the parent commenter, but just about every cryptosystem created has made the claim that the data secured will be secure for "longer than a typical human lifespan", and yet time and time again that is shown to be false.

Attacks are found, cryptosystems are broken, key strengths weakened, side channel attacks created, computers get faster, dedicated hardware is created, etc...

Pretending that we got it 100% right this time seems naive at best, and adding a small amount of "defense in depth" by not giving everyone all of the encrypted data seems like a good place to start.
It takes a special kind of sociopath to fake research on something with such potentially massive life/death consequences. This could have caused doctors to avoid a treatment; or, even worse in the grand scheme of things, prevented another researcher from entering into an area and making a big breakthrough.

> Poverty and War are depressing too but Engineers know how to build rockets better than they know how to address poverty and peace.

Colonizing Mars would require engineers to develop more than just rockets. At some point political-economic models of colonies would have to be developed, in order to determine whether colonies will be economically sustainable without subsidies from Earth. Asking people to imagine how these colonies should be organized, and how to measure whether they will be economically sustainable, requires them to consider economic and political ideas which could be later applied to the problems of poverty and political instability on Earth.

One potential model that could work well for Mars in order to reduce political tensions between competing colonies and to establish a clear and efficient mechanism for financing territorial public services is cellular democracy:

I would put squat and deadlift at the same rank personally, just because they are very similar in their impact. Closely following behind them would be a vertical pressing exercise (e.g. barbell overhead press) and a vertical pulling exercise (e.g. chin-ups or pull-ups) because it feels great to decompress the spine after putting so much weight on it.

> the idea of colonising Mars even though I'm completely aware that rationally it is a completely daft idea.

Here's some rational reasons for why it's a good idea:

* It would be a challenge, and (as there is lots of historical evidence for) innovation comes from people working on hard problems. So it would lead to innovations

* It would inspire a generation to be more interested in areas like science and technology

* The fresh start of a new planet would provide the opportunity for people to try out new forms of social structure. The founding of the USA is a historical example of this. Broken systems and structures is a big problem on earth right now.

* Ultimately if humanity only exist on a single planet, then it's at great risk of being wiped out by some catastrophe. Getting off earth is important for our future existence.

(A long time ago, I read Robert Zubrin's "The Case for Mars" and I think a lot of these ideas came from that. https://www.amazon.com/Case-Mars-Plan-Settle-Planet/dp/14516...)
Does anyone here remember Jimbo's earlier big "charity" venture -- CiviliNation? Jimbo was very recently on Reddit, trying to drum up donations for Wikitribune. It was asked, how will Wikitribune be different than the CiviliNation.org non-profit that Jimmy set up with his gal-pal Andrea Weckerle? Wales replied that since he was the "primary funder" of CiviliNation, the argument that it had bilked donors of money was moot in his mind.

Let's see: CiviliNation's Form 990s from 2010-2014 total $82,428 in contributions. If Jimbo was the "primary funder", that's at least $41,215. So he attests that he donated over $41K to CiviliNation -- while Weckerle took $63,228 in salary, on total contributions of $82,428. Meaning, he basically bankrolled most of his girlfriend Andrea Weckerle's personal income from CiviliNation, which accomplished what?

CiviliNation.org is barely a functioning website any more; its blog was last updated 13 months ago. Wales was so charitably inept that he forked over $41K to a failed attempt to "fix" online civility that ultimately accomplished not much more than keeping his girlfriend in food, clothes, and shelter for a few years, with tax-deductible dollars.

Based on my observation of Jimmy Wales and Openserving, Wikia Search, CiviliNation, Impossible, and The People's Operator, I would say an easy case could be made that the man specializes in grifting and fraud.

That's only asserting that he communicated his findings. It's not asserting that he did so under false pretenses of being a licensed professional engineer or any other kind of regulated or certified traffic authority.

Actually, Paragraph 14 specifically states that according to the law, the guy pretended to be an engineer. You can be as obtuse as you like about this, but it doesn't say "you are sanctioned for doing math", it says "you are sanctioned for engaging in the practice of engineering" to the general public", the rest of paragraph 14 simply explains how they came to that conclusion. It isn't about doing the math. It is about what he did with the math.

Let me explain it to you LY5: If I do some math that calculates the required gauge for wire required to carry a 250A load for 400V, I am not breaking any laws anywhere in the world. I can amuse myself with doing this math all day long, anywhere I like. If I communicate my findings in public, I have again broken no laws. If I communicate my findings, and say "you know, I know a lot about electricity and stuff" I have still not broken any laws. However, should I communicate my findings and state "Here are my findings, fix your inefficient power supply, and by the way I am an engineer" I will be in trouble in most countries (and rightly so).

> Both Bill Gates and Warren Buffett have said they should be.

So? How does this appeal to authority meaningfully prove that it should be done? I'm sure Bill Gates and Warren Buffett believe a lot of things. Two (extremely) rich guys saying something is not a proper foundation for economic policy.

You didn't actually stake a claim about capital gains and its causal effect on quality of life in the United States. Can you point to something concrete, instead of just dropping in words like "hedge funds" and "2008"?

For example, something you might start with is the extent to which hedge funds have been a net loss specifically for pension plans, retirement IRAs and university endowments across the industry (that's off the top of my head, I don't know how effective an argument this is). This is one direction that I could see the financial services industry getting overzealous, in that the pursuit of fewer investors to manage with greater pools of money leads to institutional aggregations of non-accredited investors being impacted. But this strikes me as an issue with that issue specifically, not capital gains.
Ah, yes, the well-known "no true deadlift" fallacy. No, you can hurt yourself quite effectively even when doing it properly.
A really weird moment for me was when I took away the ability from my phone to access my microphone from all apps, and yet when I say "Ok Google" the "Google" App opens up and then tries to ask me for Microphone access. I'm running an LG G5 with all stock Android and updates installed. It's a little creepy that an app with no access to my Mic can ask for said access when I say something to my Mic. My guess is the "Ok Google" functionality is at the OS level and not at the App level.

Particularly when it's not even true. The Japanese wanted to surrender long before the Bomb was dropped, on condition that the Emperor remain in place.

The US insisted on unconditional surrender, prolonging the fighting and resulting in the atom bomb attacks, then ended up accepting the Japanese condition anyway.
They are, provided they are done correctly. One of the bad side effects of sitting so much is that one is constantly putting all their weight on their glutes and hamstrings, which can have some nefarious consequences when trying to deadlift (namely that the lower back ends up taking most of the load, instead of it being partitioned between lumbars - glutes - hamstrings - quadriceps).

If you can afford it, a good coach is key. If you can't, spending a couple of months watching videos and drilling the lift with light weights while filming yourself to correct your posture is a good plan B.
If you're handling weight you shouldn't be handling, obviously; that's when form breaks.

Most mathematical proofs translate quite badly to formal languages. Their formulation often relies strongly on the peculiarities of language.

Consider the "it's easy to see that" from the article. There is no translation of that into a formal language beyond either introducing the claim as an axiom, or actually providing the proof. It also means that every usage of a well known theorem needs to be explicitly mentioned.

The end result would be an incredibly verbose proofs. Moreover, the verbosity of the proof wouldn't relate very well to the complexity of the idea behind the proof. This might bloat rather simple or elegant proofs, and us mathematicians really like our elegant proofs.

Put another way, this would require writing down a lot more than the epiphany that lead to the proof.

In general, it might be nice to somehow make proofs more tree-like rather than linear. That is, show the proof from the highest level, and allow a reader to 'expand' the claims to see their proofs. Down to the 'leaves' which are considered obvious.

There are several companies which sell PostgreSQL like that with EnterpriseDB and 2ndQuadrant being the two largest ones.

Ask HN: Is an open source SaaS model viable?
I recently created an open source project [1] (a tracking-free comment engine) that was well received. However, it requires setting up your own instance. Some users suggested that I should offer this as a SaaS and charge with a subscription model. The reason why the commercial closed-source solution (Disqus) exists is because it's easier - they charge money and offer this as a convenient service.

The entire project will always be open source. It's MIT license, so you can always fork your own copy. However I'm wondering if I should create a SaaS out of this that offers more advanced features (like comment moderation that works way better if offered as a SaaS)?

And if so, how should I figure out what should be the price? Does the open source SaaS model work? Any examples?

I've had a couple of people from venture firms reaching out to me about this. This is all very new to me, so I'd really appreciate some help here :)

Every individual... neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it... he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention. Nor is it always the worse for the society that it was no part of it. By pursuing his own interest he frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it.
> Is the information being exchanged of such sensitivity to require outlasting a typical human lifespan, making the possibility of offline cryptanalysis, enabled by the dissemination of still-encrypted content, an unacceptable risk?

Even if I believed in cryptography that outlasted human lifespans (and in general I do not for the same reason as the other person who replied to your comment) I have a difficult time accepting a world where it is simply considered reasonable to have every single letter sent by every single person before 1930 (including your great grandparents when they were teenagers) accessible to anyone today (not just state level actors, but literally any person who cared, such as me) who has access to an archive (and like, why not keep one? it almost seems silly not to: I can even see some people making it their life's mission to archive the data for the next generation to decrypt) and wants to bother reading (or indexing and searching and analyzing) that content.

"The invisible hand" is a notion that Adam Smith wrote about that essentially captures the idea of social benefits being an emergent consequence of self-interested parties engaging in the markets together.

You can read more about it here, including the (exactly three) specific passages in which Smith used the term: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisible_hand#Other_uses_of...

The specific point of the phrase is that the individuals produce a net benefit to society through no intention of their own, it just happens to be a happy side effect of their work.

NoFlo Development Environment by the Grid – Kickstarter
Another real problem is the willful ignorance of all things political. As if there isn't a political dimension to almost everything we do. Engineers as a rule have a lot of leverage, small changes in what we make have huge consequences in the real world and a bit of understanding about how the two are coupled would go a long way towards making this a better world. It would also at times require engineers to take a stand and I suspect that that is what drives the willful ignorance. After all it is much easier to do something inherently bad if you can pretend there are no real world consequences.
My personal experience dealing with Postgres people vs. MySQL people has always been oddly lopsided, with Postgres users seeming to be crazy defensive about their product and getting very offended about any perceived slight when compared with MySQL, and MySQL users generally shrugging their shoulders and saying "post what?"

One camp seems to be made up of perfectionists who spend a lot of time worrying about how things "should" be, and the other seems to consist of pragmatists who just want it to work.

I will leave it to the reader to decide which is which and which has more appeal to business decision makers.
From a quick glance at the list of papers this seems to be mostly basic research. This makes it less likely that it could have affected treatment decisions.

The formal peer review during publication is a very coarse filter, and not well suited to catch outright fraud. It's more of a quick sanity check than an in depth examination. The real verification happens once other scientists build on that paper and perform new experiments.
I guess how to read mathematics depends strongly on the context or the subfield you are looking into.

A simple example: a superscript can mean exponentiation or an index.

Also, sometimes it is preferred to leave out symbols that occur often, to avoid clutter. One example is dropping the sigmas out of equations, and infer they exist by looking at indices.
