You overstate the reliability a bit (or rather, the things we take for granted are not so reliably supported) but I'm not going to argue your broader point at all.

However, this:

Because efficient companies produce goods and services for lower prices than inefficient companies

Is not correct. Efficient companies are capable or producing goods and services for lower prices than inefficient ones, but they will typically only do so in the presence of true competition. Otherwise, companies are always quite happy to realize the fruits of higher efficiency as higher margins.

That may be an nit to pick, but it's an important one.
The Long, Hard, Unprecedented Fall of Sears
> Considering the continued decline of classical PCs, I don’t think Apple can go all the way and design an Ax processor for high-end Macs.

I think this is wrong. This is what the benchmarks say:

- Apple A10 Fusion @ 2.35 GHz [1] / Geekbench 4 single-core: 3500 (typically) - that's 1489 points per GHz

- Intel Core i7 7700 @ 4.20 GHz turbo / Geekbench 4 single-core: 5400 (typically) [2] - that's 1286 points per GHz

- Intel Core i3 7100U @ 2.40 GHz (no turbo) / Geekbench 4 single-core: 3150 (typically) - that's 1312 points per GHz

In clock-for-clock performance, Apple already is competitive with the highest end Intel performance. It's just a question on whether they can scale this up to a desktop chip with an appropriate amount of cores, clockspeed and I/O.

Before you protest, Geekbench 4 is one of the few benchmarks that tests individual core speed while being fairly independent of I/O performance. Of course any desktop processor will easily outclass a mobile chip when it comes to I/O. It's not a perfect comparison for sure, but I think it shows that it's quite conceivable Apple will use their own chips in their next Mac Pro.

[1]: This fails to take into account any potential 'turbo' functionality the A10 Fusion has - there is so little known about it that we don't if that exists or how much it boosts.

[2]: I chose the non-K variety because the 7700K results on Geekbench typically seem to vary wildly due to its overclockability.
It's not just about business strategy. Pretty much all censorship circumvention that I am aware of leverages "collateral blocking" to achieve their goal. A determined enough state can block anything they want if they are willing to accept the collateral damage it causes. Turkey could try to shut down the entire internet inside their country in order to prevent the spread of information, but it would have serious economic consequences. Therefore, Turkey probably wouldn't block the whole internet.

Those trying to circumvent censorship leverage the fact that most countries can be modeled as at least somewhat rational actors. For a rational actor, censorship is a delicate balancing act. But this also means those interested in circumvention are also in a balancing act.

On the internet 1000 voices don't speak 1000 times louder than one,

In a limited context, for a limited time, they can. There are many situations where this is all that's needed. (Like, the run up to an election.)

it would be relatively easy for a small group to widely advertise that there is a discrepancy.

A large enough, well established enough group would be able to discredit this discrepancy.
They don't map one to one. There's a thousand variants of emotions, and just a few neurotransmitters.

Also, even with all the chemistry being fine, there can be certain receptors messed up, or parts of brain not functioning properly.

A story I read in "Listening to Prozac" was about a patient that for years couldn't get over his low self esteem issues. He worked through all of them, but the feeling persistent, and there were no other issues with his mood aside from that.

He was finally put on antidepressants, and that issue was fixed. Unfortunately, whenever he tried to get off them, the issue - and only that issue - kept coming back.

The theory is that something made that part of his brain resistant to serotonin. There are many kinds of serotonin receptors, and perhaps a genetic problem messed up one of them. Or there was an issue with serotonin not being delivered where it should've been. Or who knows what.

In the end, increased serotonin levels fixed that. A blunt tool, but no other one worked.

Similarly with attention deficit (which comes with anxiety and sleep issues quite often) - the original theory was that it was due to dopamine issues, because increasing dopamine levels helped most people.

The current theory is that in many cases it may a whole class of issues - from a mechanical damage to prefrontal cortex to allergies, magnesium processing issues, tyrosine processing problems, or even a deficiency in nicotinic receptors (where supplementing nicotine is really a solution!)

Also, in most cases it's probably more than issue at root. The problem is that it's difficult to figure it all out, and many cases medicine is simply not there yet.
It might be a good idea to make it pseudo random, similar to how Apple tweaked their shuffle algorithm to make it more palatable to the listeners.

Something like repicking a book when it has been shown t seconds ago would mitigate this problem.
SO MUCH GREAT ADVICE!

Thank you all, folks, this has been an education.
I think it is actually a lot worse than household incomes suggest. Having a parent stay home is tremendously valuable to a household in providing childcare, food preparation and all sorts of other valuable labour. None of this gets measured in incomes/GDP but as soon as you have both parents working and paying for childcare, paying for prepared meals and so on it does get measured in household income and GDP. So when we just look at household income we're actually underestimating the decline because there also used to be more unmeasured value provided by stay at home parents.

Not surprised, considering the producer is HuskyStarcraft, and Rosanna isn't exactly "slacking off" herself. Basically what should be considered the benchmark for high production value on both ends.

If you were to make a food show worth mentioning, your standard for a presenter and production should be no lower. Take that with a different format, food, and possibly a theme and I'd say "general success" for one or two people to make a normal, middle class living is attainable.
> the ones voting ... for politicians who oppose subsidized healthcare

It's more complex than that, because those same voters are pressuring their elected representatives to retain healthcare subsidies and similar benefits.
That's exactly how it's normally done - the offline editor works with low bitrate HD files, then gives the edit list to the online team who re-conform from the full resolution stuff.

There's always an impetus to get higher resolution and quality at the offline stage though, as people get used to improving technology. It wouldn't be outrageous to have a 4k offline now, because people with 4k TVs at home will say "Why can't we? I want to see everything!", even if it doesn't particularly enhance the editor's work.

It would still be done with lower bitrate files, because original 4k material from digital cinema cameras is beyond what most machines are happy with.
Don't know about Elm, but there's Bucklescript or Reason and they generate really great, readable JS for use on Node.

Stocks with no voting rights and no dividends are strange. It's like fiat-currency without the fiat; you're buying tulips and hoping you're not left holding the bag when prices plateau.

Microsoft stock was flat for years under Steve Balmer. Microsoft had become Con-Edison - a utility that would reliably make money year after year but wasn't going to see growth in earnings. Shareholders rightly demanded dividends if the company couldn't improve its earnings growth.

Thinking ahead to that, what's going to happen to everyone who owns "goog" when there's a sustained period without earnings growth at Google?

Ask HN: Why isn't the inverse factorial written as "n?" ?
As in: 120? = 5
In this example, though, the library's C++ sort is calling out to Javascript code during the sort. That code can alter the object being sorted. That's where the trouble comes from. The sort function needs exclusive mutable access to the object being sorted. But Javascript doesn't support such access control.

This is a general problem with cross-language data access. The languages may not have the same data model. It's especially bad when one side has garbage collection, and the other side has to have explicit GC-aware code.

Profession: Civil Engineer - Water and Wastewater (Consultant)

[07:50] Wake up, dress, drink lots of water, drive to work

[08:30 - 09:00] Arrive at the office or a treatment plant. If at office, read through emails and review my plans for the day (I currently use WorkFlowy)

[09:00 - 13:00] Get work done. Usually not enough. Get distracted by HN and subreddits of interest.

[13:00 - 13:30] Eat some lunch alone (but not at my desk) or with some coworkers. Make small talk about clients, deliverables, the news, and our lives

[13:30 - 17:00] Back at it, usually in the office. Do more work. Go do some field visits if schedules allow and the weather is nice.

[17:30 - 19:30] Get home. Hit the Gym. Do chores. Take care of chickens and garden if needed. Make Dinner.

[19:30 - 22:30] Enjoy time with wife. Watch some TV. Read. Work on podcast, EWB, or other non-profit work. Spend time with friends some nights. Research programming and data science, contemplate a career change.

[22:30 - 23:00] Start making my way to bed. Journal. Meditate/Pray/Think. Hopefully fall asleep within an hour.

Work generally entails:
Early in a project: meeting with our clients, convincing them to do some necessary work, early research about technologies and design options, site visits and inspections, coordinating with surveyors and sewer inspectors, talking to vendors, visiting other treatment plants and utilities to see how they do things, early conceptual designs, watch videos of sewer inspections.

Mid Project: Laying out and detailing designs, detailed research in to alternatives, hydraulic and process/chemical calculations, equipment sizing and selection, cost estimation, writing specifications for equipment and materials, sketching drawings for our CADD drafters, use CADD when they get too busy to help, coordinating with subconsulting disciplines that are not our expertise (structural, geotechnical, etc), meet with clients and give progress updates, etc

Late Project: Project gets bid and awarded to a contractor to build. Reviewing submittals from general contractors to ensure they supply the correct equipment and materials, visit work site and meet with construction managers, constantly put out fires and answer questions.
From my small experience with Elm all that boilerplate is nicely dealt by compression-oriented programming [1]. It is easy to move common code into helper function and Elm pure functional nature makes that rather maintainable. The hard part is to come up with good names for those helpers and avoid being too generic when refactoring code.

It's not just that they don't want to. Many of them probably never wanted to. It's the scale.

Previously, you had a lot more ISPs, even more operating in the same physical area when we had dial-up. They needed to cooperate. Their customers' desired data wasn't on their network, and they were barely more than an interlink (services offered: dial-up, email, custom home page at isp.net/~user). If they didn't abide by peering arrangements businesses and customers would have been unable to communicate, making the ISPs unable to fulfill their purchases.

There are now far fewer ISPs and they have far more services and customers. They're in a position, due to the number of customers they have to bargain with, to demand quite a bit from other ISPs and content/service providers. Failing to peer with Comcast could mean losing half of all US broadband customers. So when they demand $$, you're in a bind and almost have to pay, or suffer lower QoS as a result.
If net neutrality goes away, then incumbent corporations with existing foothold and ISP partnerships may get a monopolistic-like advantage.
The second question:

> Choosing a cloud provider

This really annoys me about Kubernetes. Essentially all the official documentation is about how to select a cloud and let a cloud-specific tool magically do everything for you. There's no procedure for setting up a single host for development purposes or to have a Dokku-like personal PaaS.

This guide is super useful because it avoids all the magic and lets you set things up properly (despite assuming you're doing it on a cloud) and potentially even do it on a single host.

Ok the historian in me has to say something. The US is only a superpower because we pilfered an incredibly large and resource-rich land mass and had incredibly good geopolitical luck during World War One and Two. And that involved dropping a nuclear weapon on a civilian population. Those circumstances are NOT repeatable.

Trump is as much a politician as anyone. He's so worried about his rep, he's actually trying to build the wall.

If people are against this en masse -- he won't touch it. My guess is he backs down or takes a neutral stance, just like Wheeler did on net neutrality, and like Obama did on encryption.

I mean, you know behind the scenes they're trying like hell to get rid of net neutrality, but they can't do that in the face of a public outcry.

This is one issue that is not red/blue. The hackery of Trump's campaign operated through the open internet, and I think the tech crowd on both sides of the aisle realize that removing net neutrality would just enrich the ISPs and would do nothing to improve our internet speeds or access to diverse content.
It doesn't have to be a WFO (wood fired oven), but you will get slightly different results depending on wood/gas/electric.

You are on a discusssion forum. Not a "welp, everyone does what they do for the reasons that they do 'em, let's move on" forum =)
Indeed. That was the point of my comment.
It has the wrong model. The consumer isn't choosing what THEY want to support al-a-cart or even automatically based on what they watch. (Either of these would be good models for the consumer.)

The least regressive model would be for viewers to pay per time unit of video, say in 5 min blocks (round down) and probably with a decaying rate of compensation on a series per block of content produced (recovery time would probably vary depending on the popularity of the series, really popular things would recover more quickly, the producer should have some feedback from this metric).

That kind of a model avoids penalizing groups of content creators, having them compete against each other (other than for viewer time, which is unavoidable), and it reduces the advertiser influenced network effect of more popular creators being over-paid compared to more niche / rising creators.

More specifically, to quote the Redux FAQ entry at http://redux.js.org/docs/faq/OrganizingState.html#organizing... :

> There is no “right” answer for this. Some users prefer to keep every single piece of data in Redux, to maintain a fully serializable and controlled version of their application at all times. Others prefer to keep non-critical or UI state, such as “is this dropdown currently open”, inside a component's internal state.

> Using local component state is fine. As a developer, it is your job to determine what kinds of state make up your application, and where each piece of state should live. Find a balance that works for you, and go with it.

A cordite stone will work well against the broiler. But as with any stone, you're going to want to hit it up slowly to reduce breakage. I'd recommend at least 40m heat up to whatever your oven's top temp is (probably 550), then switching to broiler after that point.
Have you been using outside libraries that were written in javascript on these projects?

I always anticipated that would be a downside of using Elm. I know there must be hooks to let you integrate pure javascript (jQuery-type) libraries and widgets into your app, but wouldn't it be really annoying?

I'm writing Angular apps these days and one of the most time-consuming tasks is this sort of integration (for instance, right now I'm trying to add FullCalendar [0] to an app), and it doesn't work so nicely with the digest cycle of Angular, or play nicely with how data is passed around. And Elm is even more alien to javascript than a javascript app using Angular would be to javascript. So how is this area for you?
