I just have a windows 10 machine plugged into the TV. I have a server farm upstairs with plenty of storage for archives of TV shows if I want them, but these days I can get pretty much anything I want from one of the streaming services online.

I also have a glass table between the couch and the TV, so a dark field mouse is required if I'm doing anything that needs a real mouse. For everything else I just use a wireless keyboard/trackpad combo from Logitech.
I came across the concept of "Chesterton's fence" a while ago here on Hacker News, which I really like: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Chesterton%27s_fence
> While that is perhaps true, you cannot assume the people around you hold similar views about truth.

Which is sad because really, truth is a simple concept. For some reason, many people don't feel like their beliefs should in any way correspond to reality.

> It is still valuable to understand the mainstream perspective.

I agree that the role of media as social objects (shared things to talk about) is important, but there's a tradeoff here - the more junk you put in your head, the easier it is to hold a conversation with random strangers, but you're still puttting junk in your head. Is socializing really worth it?

I know what you're saying, natural death from aging could be seen as a solution just as easily as it can be viewed as a problem.

If anything we should get better at it, for example, educate people more about aging and talk more about death and the benefits of caring for yourself in your youth so to age well, it doesn't really have to be sad.

Pardon me. I am clueless about Biology.

By collapse, you mean all dead & extinct in the lake? As in, there is 0% chance of them returning from the dead like the eggs that are laid which is start growing once there is new food source?

If the zebra mussel are all dead, would it be possible to transplant a family of fish from some other lake, so they can start a life in Lake Michigan and bring it back to life?

There is no dichotomy in aerobraking vs orbit. In fact, I believe most interplanetary orbiters (Galileo, Cassini) used aerobraking to achieve orbit.
Most local population on Falklands has been of British origin since, what, 1840?

Ultimately, the important part is that there are no living people, whether on the islands or elsewhere, who are harmed by British control of the island, and there are plenty of living people who would be harmed by it being ceded to Argentine.

For 1., the fact that the program searches for a proof of a statement is completely irrelevant. It might just as well search for a string that can be appended to the statement to make it MD5-hash to a prime number.

In any case, either it finds such a thing, in which case it accepts the finite set in the statement, or it doesn't find anything, in which case it accepts the (finite) empty set.

The actual condition doesn't matter, PA can always do this kind of case analysis to prove the finiteness of the accepted set.
We had very good results with Asciidoctor and Asciidoctor PDF for reports and especially for manuals.

In Asciidoctor PDF, we occationally ran into minor issues, but most of the time we pleasantly found out these vanished in the latest version, because other already found and fixed those.

There are some limitations, though, such as missing support for footnotes, nevertheless that's a topic that is worked on.

In general, we are very satisfied with the AsciiDoc format and the Asciidoctor tools, the syntax is much clearner and evolved in a much saner way than the alternatives (e.g. Markdown).
Actually, writing a vi clone in any language is only worth asking why in the hell someone would do that. And the answer is: "because Python." (and in case you didn't realize it was written in Python, the author has reminded you 13 times in the README, and named the clone after both 'vi' and the 'y' in Python)

Yeah, it could make sense apply it to only "non resident for tax purposes" (i.e. People filling a 1040NR)

As other comments mentioned, a tax like this should also affect rich citizens who similarly contribute to vacant houses, so to actually solve the problem I guess it should affect all property owners

Thanks for the link. He says something else very relevant to OP's point, too:

"We face another obstacle: In a finite world, high growth
rates must self-destruct. If the base from which the growth is
taking place is tiny, this law may not operate for a time. But
when the base balloons, the party ends: A high growth rate
eventually forges its own anchor."

There has been some interesting discussion on this thread already.

However, what most seems to fail to see is that an algorithm compared to a human justice system, could inherently be less biased.

Having no bias at all is hard but only having less bias is totally fine IMO.

When writing the algorithm it is of course impossible to not instill some bias into the datasets, the code itself should be bias-free if written correctly. The end result is a bias-free judgement algorithm based on biased data.

Is this worse than what we have now?
> Pruitt will surround himself with yes-men, and that is super scary when it comes to science. Essentially, all science that does not fit the administration's agenda will be rejected. This is just one of the precursors.

As an independent, I question how this situation is much different from years past. It's just a different set of yes-men.
Some years ago - never mind how long precisely -I was one of the engineers at Sybase who would have produced that EBF patch for you. More recently I do the same sort of thing for clients running Postgresql. I have worked on the code of both db servers, been involved in bug hunting and fixing as well as support escalation for both, and interacted directly with users and developers of both. If my life depended on a medical device, with a choice of one running Sybase and one running Postgresql, I would choose Postgresql, in a heartbeat (so to speak).

(I am the author of the op-ed. A better version is at [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Guy_Macon/Wikipedia_has_C... ].)

I am very familiar with Agile and Scum, and I have seen the advantages over older paradigms such as waterfall. That being said, there are certain basic principles that the old methods and the new methods have in common. One such principle is the basic idea of having some sort of contact with the people who will be using the finished software and understanding their needs. The WMF does not do that. Instead, they build something in secret, throw it over the wall, and watch as the Wikipedia editors reject it as the steaming pile of crap that it is. They have done this again and again. Visual Editor. Flow. Mobile App. Knowledge Engine. All failures. All built without any input from the people who would be using them.

Now I KNOW that the developers are not stupid or ignorant, and I have checked as best I can and it appears that every one of them was able to create high quality software that meets the customer's needs when they were working other places. That leaves me with management as the probable culprit. And I don't think that the problem is product managers like the author of the post above this one. I think the blame is at the very top.

I would advise anyone who really wishes to understand these issues to at least read the pages linked to on my [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Guy_Macon/Wikipedia_has_C... ] page, especially [ http://mollywhite.net/wikimedia-timeline/ ]

Finally, if it really "it takes minimal digging to find all their plans and timelines", I would like to see this demonstrated by providing links to the plans and timelines for the Knowledge Engine. --~~~~
I recently started a full time job after getting recruited to a company in Tokyo, the wages are pretty damned good, and the cost of living is very low. By comparison I've worked in Sydney where the wages were comparable, potentially a little higher (less than 10%), and the cost of living was about three to four times higher. And done the digital nomad thing where cost of living was slightly cheaper still than Tokyo, but not by a lot, and average income was (variable, admittedly, but generally speaking) enormously smaller.

It does appear to be an optimal combination for both good wages and low cost of living in my experience having traveled
and lived extensively all over the world.

The single caveat I'd make on saying this is that the way that I prefer to live might be uniquely suited to Tokyo, and uniquely unsuited to Sydney. That being; I hate commuting, I want somewhere small and comfortable but otherwise as cheap as possible to live, but as close to work as possible so I can just walk to and from every day. In Sydney working in the CBD this means you'll be stuck with some status signalling lifestyle apartment coupled with the already significant premium on rentals in general which is applicable to all Sydney real estate, and it's stupidly expensive (average 2250 - 2500. You could probably get away with a rundown roach palace for a little cheaper, but the floor on Sydney rentals in my experience is just absurdly high.

By comparison I got a no frills apartment that is perfectly useful, comfortable and serviceable within 300 meters walk to my office in Shibuya no problem at all, 1100 USD per month, and everything else on top of that with the bountiful microwave dinners, amazon, and roadside eating joints by the dozen, extremely fast and cheap internet (gigabit for < 40 USD pm) doesn't increase the price by much at all.
This article does not support what you are saying.

> EPA spokesman J.P. Freire said in an email that “no one has been fired or terminated,” and that Pruitt had simply decided to bring in fresh advisers"

> “We’re not going to rubber-stamp the last administration’s appointees. Instead, they should participate in the same open competitive process as the rest of the applicant pool,” Freire said. “This approach is what was always intended for the Board

> Courtney Flint ... said ... that she was also surprised to learn that her term would not be renewed, “particularly since I was told that such a renewal was expected.”

> “In the broader view, I suppose it is the prerogative of this administration to set the goals of federal agencies and to appoint members to advisory boards,” she added.

> Conservatives have complained about EPA’s approach to science, including the input it receives from outside scientific bodies

> “They’re going to have to start dealing with science and not rigged science”

> “The EPA routinely stacks this board with friendly scientists who receive millions of dollars in grants from the federal government,” Smith said at the time. “The conflict of interest here is clear.”

Even if you believe that the conservatives are trying to pack EPA with "climate change deniers", you should be glad that their research is now going to reach a wider audience and therefore can be subject to more crictism.

This seems like a good move for science

I had a deadbeat client in Japan. I did want to walk away but my Japanese wife did not. She declared that unacceptable from a Japanese company. The procedure was surprisingly straightforward. When the person refused to come to trial, we were authorized to walk in with a legal specialist to seize down assets, only to find out that the guy had just been evicted by his landlord and all the physical assets already seized.

When I first learned that land in US and many other countries can be purchased by anyone in the world, it was mind boggling for me from pure theoretical perspective (actually many government even encourages that). Currently, you need about 3-5 million votes to swing US elections in the desired direction. Now median house price in US is just under $200K. So in theory you can purchase roughly 5 million houses in swing counties for total cost of less than $1T and either leave them vacant or rent out to only people who aligns with your agenda. That's actually not a very large amount to spend over few years when your ROI is literally the ability to control US politics and trade policies almost indefinitely.

In theory, foreign power with deep pockets can buy up large swaths of important land and establish local governments and population that eventually can tilt national politics and policies in desired way. This becomes more and more easier as elections in lot of developed countries often decided by thin margins from very predictable geographical locations. I am not saying this is happening but at least in theory it's possible to design full on economic attack on any country with such laws. Imagine what kind of havoke a foreign government can create if they buy up all aggreculture land and control food prices in peace times and famines in war times. Or buy up key commercial estates critical to producing energy or real estate for even just simple daily needs like gas stations or grocery stores.
I don't normally post "me too" on HN, but I feel I should here.

I don't contribute to Wikipedia anymore, because the editorial policies don't agree with my views on how an internet encyclopedia should be run.
Even in that case it can become very difficult to follow.

For example, there is - in my opinion - a low chance that the Gates Foundation will expend its resources within 20 years post the death of the last of the two.

They are likely to have something total equivalent to (in present dollars) perhaps $250-$300 billion to get rid of in the next 40-50 years. I'd be skeptical they can get rid of it that fast in their model. They're eroding that mass of capital (presently near $190b) so relatively slowly that by the time Gates is 80, they'll probably still be dealing with $200 billion in today's dollar.
It just... really bothers me that Wikipedia has grown into this massive thing, with $60 million in cash reserves and $31 million in salaries a year... and the people who aren't getting paid are the ones actually writing an encyclopedia. For that kind of money, you'd think they could actually pay people to write an encyclopedia, like Britannica used to. Now Britannica is circling the drain, Wikipedia is raking in money, and instead of paying the writers, there's this whole bureaucracy slurping up the cash and not giving it to the people doing the actual work. I hate all this digital sharecropping. I hate all these businesses based on paying millions of amateurs nothing or next to nothing for large volumes of low quality labor, making it up on volume, and paying a handful of people large sums of money to "administer" it. You'd think for that kind of money you could pay some writers.

You could use the same argument in favor of COBOL.
There are settings for choosing between the exhaustive search planner and the genetic planner. The exhaustive planner is better, but can be slow for complex queries with a lot of paths. But, if your query is at all time consuming you probably want to increase geqo_threshold and geqo_effort as well as join_collapse_limit and from_collapse_limit.

I'd also suggest disabling nest_loop_entirely if you are having problems with bad cardinality estimates resulting in nestloop plans that run 100 times when the planner estimated once.

The new EPA administration is reducing peer reviews?

Some of us HN readers, call ourselves Computer Scientists, some Software Engineers, some are other type of scientists. I believe that for many HN readers, science is a core component of who we are, professionally, and of what we do, or at the very least, we understand the vital importance of rigor in science.

We should collectively be extremely concerned that the EPA administration appears to be attacking the scientific method and replacing it with what I fear will become pseudoscience.

It is difficult for me to understand why this article has not received more attention and prominence on HN. Surely this is important to many of HN readers, even if it's not a technical article?
Ingenuity is one part of it, large scale behavioural and societal changes are what's really in-order though, the less individualistic view.

Rich countries sharing the wealth with the poor, investing your money in banks which don't fund exploitative and harmful projects, changing how you travel etc. This is the work that also has to be done by each of us.

We always seem to lean on developing new technology to solve our problems and technological development is wonderfully successful, it's a good thing, a fine thing, but we don't use it very well. For example everyone on earth could be fed, but that's not how we operate. It's all common sense though really.
"In a budget proposal obtained by The Washington Post last month, the panel is slated for an 84 percent cut — or $542,000 — from its operating budget. That money typically covers travel and other expenses for outside experts who attend the board’s public meetings.

The reasoning behind the budget cut, said the document, reflects 'an anticipated lower number of peer reviews.'"

Doesn't sound like a "good move for science" to me.
