There's no conspiracy; programming in Haskell is the most fun I've ever had with a computer.

The "if it compiles, it works" thing describes people's experience. It isn't always true and it isn't a valid excuse not to do proper testing, but in Haskell a non-working solution is usually at least broken in a way that makes sense in the context of the problem you're trying to solve. If you program an incorrect solution to a problem, you'll probably get a wrong answer. But a wrong answer is different than nonsense, which is what you get if, say, you write past the end of an array in C.

The Haskell type system is a very good nonsense filter, and probably a majority of programming errors are from telling the program to do something nonsensical. If you filter those out, sometimes what's left is a working program.

A Haskell programmer is unlikely to write a several thousand line program and have it work correctly the first time, but even large programs are written in small pieces. When those small pieces work correctly the first time, it's gratifying.

I think you'll find, when you try to get down into it, there's no easy way to enforce a speed limit. It's a naturally arising behaviour. You could try making a market that crosses orders every X seconds, but then you move the speed to the edge of those periods.

If you wanna slow down HFT, then kill the stupid restriction that stocks be priced in pennies. With 8 digits of resolution, HFTs would then be forced to compete on price.

I've mostly deprecated phone numbers as a way of reaching me for the following reasons:

- Representing a person by a country-specific number is a horrible UX. All of my contact methods besides phone number remain the same no matter where I am in the world. Several of my contact methods (Facebook, LinkedIn) enable directly "dialing" my real name and intelligently locating me by social proximity instead of asking the customer to program in a stupid number (or multiple numbers) for every contact. A few (Skype, Hangouts) at least allow for alphanumeric, easy-to-remember identifiers instead of numbers. Aren't we in 2017 already?

- I want information to flow with me, not be tied to a particular device. Ideally, I should not have to carry any particular device, but rather present my credentials to any device I own (be that a computer, one of my many phones, tablets, or smartwatches). All of my contact methods besides phone number and WeChat are device-independent and align with this vision.

- E-mail replaces SMS. It supports >140 bytes. In fact, it can comfortably support several MEGAbytes per message! Isn't that mind-blowing? There is ZERO reason to continue to use a stupid old technology with a 140-byte limitation. As part of the deprecation process, I have all SMS go to my e-mail inbox instead of using the SMS interface on the phone.

- I don't take unscheduled voice calls. In general, if my day is going as planned, 95% of the time I am doing something where I shouldn't be picking up a phone (either for my own safety or due to etiquette). That includes machining metal, having dinner with real people, listening to concerts, meditating, coding, hiking (usually without reception), biking, whatever. Unscheduled voice calls are incompatible with my lifestyle.

- When scheduled, I do video calls more often than phone calls.

As such I'm totally fine with a phone app being third-party. A phone number is not the main reason I have an LTE device in my pocket.

In fact, of my multiple LTE-capable devices, only one is capable of receiving phone number calls. The rest have data-only SIMs.

if you look at the market as a whole, there is a thing called the "efficient market hypothesis". It assumes that markets are perfect and you can not make money trading securities, because all information is already priced in.

This is obviously not true, because HFT makes money, but you could say that HFT contributes to getting markets closer to being efficient.

Having efficient markets is worthwhile for society because an efficient, liquid market provides a more accurate picture of the "actual" value of things.

If you buy this argument, then HFT would be contributing to finding truth, which is inherently valuable in the eyes of many people.

At the end of the day, HFT is one of those things that people just get jelly about because someone makes money on something they dont understand and gets insanely rich "doing nothing".

What people get mad about is completely arbitrary. Everyone hates google because ads, but without google, their world would barely operate. Everyone hates facebook because fake news but nobody has the balls to actually not use facebook. A social network.

Everyone hates uber because "scandals" and poor drivers not being paid but still uses it because comfortable.

I'm not really in the stock market but when I want to sell stock, I'd rather there be some market maker who is obligated to buy it. Maybe he makes more money off of me than I ever will selling stock to him, but that one time when nobody else wants the falling stock and I potentially use a large chunk of my savings, I really need them.

Consumers sit on some amazingly high horses sometimes.
Sure it is. My problems that Soylent can solve include having an easy and palatable (I sort of enjoy the plain flavor when chilled enough) snack a couple times a week.
It's not like it wouldn't have happened anyway. That aside, globalism _is_ a good thing (the flipside is that some items are just cheaper), but it's not been as good for everyone. Specific jobs appear and disappear all the time. It's just the natural flow of things in a developing society.
> prima facie evidence that they are creating value is that they are capturing value from willing market participants.

Or, better, join / create a distributed team. Last August, the day before a 3-week family vacation to Japan, we closed Leanpub's office and became a distributed team. It was a great decision; we are happier this way, even though most of us live in the same city. Zero commute = more time with your kids and more time working with fewer interruptions. (No, we're not hiring right now :)

If this was actually a real concern and not a strawman argument, these businesses wouldn't even bother with having any business in the US at all.

From a purely theoretical position, your argument may not make sense, but the already have all this money earned abroad and staying abroad paying low taxes there.

Basically all companies that are in this position are those that are so large that they are looking for returns on investment wherever they can find them, domestically and abroad. A smaller company with less profits to reinvest would likely perform the calculation you made, but then again they'd be small enough that this wouldn't even matter.

These companies want to bring these profits back to the US. What is worth barring is the ability to pay them back out as dividends in exchange for the tax break. Basically, just structure the tax break to make sure that they only get it if the money is funneled into investments in the US only.
Reminded me of this (as in, I thought I remembered something maybe named something like "optar", and googled):

http://ronja.twibright.com/optar/

which I found via this repository, that makes a comment regarding apparent abandonment of the original:

https://github.com/colindean/optar

Also from memory, there is at least one other such "ginormous barcode" utility/application that gained some attention, some years back. It may well be the "paperback" one that another commenter mentions, here.

At least one of these had configurable resolution and redundancy parameters.
Following this guide will get you something very close to a base Alpine Linuxwith busybox. Alpine is fairly minimal out of the box and even eschews grub for syslinux.

The upside with Alpine is if you need features and packages they are an install away. But if the purpose is to learn about compiling the kernel and how the system initalizes this is a decent start.

How do you feel about orange juice manufacturing? They take "something grown", fractionally distil it apart into tanks of purified constituent molecules, and then create a drink by mixing stuff from those tanks together.

But why is this liquidity necessary? Maybe if you can't find someone to take your trade that's an important price signal, which is being dampened by the liquidity. Forgive me for abusing the metaphor, but just as water is essential for life, consuming too much of it can kill you (by lowering the level of electrolytes and disrupting intracellular signaling). It's rare for people to die from drinking too much water at once, but that's not gonna be a lot of comfort if it happens to you, is it?
I didn't say anything giving it back, though. As you say, the issue here in particular has to do with him posting or not posting it.

Sorta. To my understanding WeWork has largely been funded by real estate groups looking for more return. I guess Soylent could find funding from CPG/consumer funds, but I'm amazed software VCs are interested.
Cocoa soylent was just a better alternative to what I had as options for breakfast. Typical breakfast sandwich or cheap cereals were not particularly great.

I'm honestly not sure how healthy it is, but I'd be very surprised if it was worse than what I'd do otherwise.

Now I agree if you have 5 bottles a day as your only food source, that's probably not great. We don't really understand human food needs as well as we say we do, and we kind of just get by as a kind of coincidence through variety. Having the same thing over and over and over almost garentees you get it wrong, no matter what it is you have.

Some ideas on how to make it into a research paper -- add discussion on how do you trivially manage memory (avoid unnecessary allocation and copying and reversing). The original trivia idea was simply to sieve in place. So how do we do that in Haskell (hint: invent something)?
Iconinator for Sketch
Hey, everyone! Agis here, the developer behind Iconinator. I'm pumped to finally get this plugin out into the designer (and engineer) community. Iconinator is a Sketch plugin that provides a means to generate sets of App Artwork icons for the iOS Platform. Iconinator provides you with a tool (App Icon generator) that can be continually altered to your liking, in order to maximize on the workflow of your design work, getting an idea for the direction you're headed.

When it comes to using Sketch for App Icon design, Sketch itself provides you with the basics of what is needed, like a variety of artboard sizes for different icon sizes. But nothing within or outside of Sketch existed until now, that provided you with a means of generating app icon artwork in general and make your workflow much more efficient with a great UX.

The plugin itself is a WIP, as this is 1.0, but we'd love your feedback, questions and more to ensure we adapt and add based on your needs. Given that, feel free to send all of that our way. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

"Quantum effects" is not the same as "quantum computing". This is the same bullshit as the D-Wave marketing, just in a different domain.

Quantum computing happening in the brain is an extremely extraordinary hypothesis, and requires some very good evidence before it's accepted. Quantum effects happening on the brain is a "well, duh, and you'll tell me water is wet later?" hypothesis, and requires some good evidence not to believe in it.

The built-in MacOS support for PDF is great. Any app that can print to a printer can print to a PDF file. And the Preview app, despite its name, can edit PDFs to add annotations (text, graphics), add or remove pages, etc. There's also a feature by which you sign your name on a piece of paper, hold it up to the camera, and it will capture it and insert it into a the document. It's convenient that these are built in and don't require paying for something bloated like Acrobat Pro.

Yeah, personally I gladly suck it up and pay to live walking distance to most of where I need to go.

The bugs you're talking about are already worth 5-6 figures. Their prices are so volatile and their outlook is complicated enough that no sane person would enter into a forward contract on one.
My point was basically about food breaking down in a system (our gut). We have some knowledge about this. But not much.
You are clearly thinking of something else. These things are ubiquitous in the UK now. All the UK banks provide them freely with accounts and it's all easy to use and standard, no plug-ins or craziness, just an HTML form.

> The (glaring) conflicts of interest exemplified by Kushner's role in the company -- just a small subset of the conflicts exhibited by the Trump-Kushner administration as a whole -- can hardly be dismissed as merely an "amusing media story". Attempting to do so is a sign of, at the very least, rampant cognitive dissonance - if not pure and simple intellectual honesty.

His brother is actively involved in the administration's efforts to repeal the law that provides the foundation for the company that he founded. It's not cognitive dissonance; dismissing the question is the only thing he can do, from a PR perspective. It's not like he's going to say, "Yeah, the future is really uncertain for us, as a result of my brother's work."

I get that the situation could be a conflict-of-interest, but at the moment, if anything, the evidence suggests that the two brothers are working directly against each other here.
Hacker News is serious business! No fun allowed!
People have been eating imperfectly for millenia and keeping on nevertheless. How many billion (trillion?) Chinese peasants, across history, do you think ate only rice their entire lives?

Sure, said peasants probably had vitamin A deficiency—but they managed to live long, mostly-healthy lives despite that. Which is my point: we don't need to get "food" perfect in order to ensure that 10x as many people as today can live "long, mostly-healthy lives." It's not unethical to feed starving people food that's missing some micronutrient we aren't yet aware of, because they'll still be better off than if they were starving. The human body is hardy.
> The flood of cheap goods destroyed communities that depended on manufacturing work

There is no evidence to that. Cheap goods helped poor people live a better life and build better communities. American houses today are better than they were 30 years ago. American healthcare is more accessible than it was 30 years ago. More Americans are getting better education than 30 years ago.
Who knows what gets through the Senate and conference.

In any case, a single party Democratic government isn't real likely anytime soon, so anything that gets passed will be somewhat durable (Senate races in 2020 and 2022 will be hotly contested though).
To settle those bets, you have to have a reliable spot price. The only way to know how much a Windows RCE is worth is to actually sell it.
To your first point, because being part of a government is something you should ideally be doing for a non-monetary altruistic reason, whereas employment at a large corp is clearly about personal gain.
But according to Nancy Pelosi, single-payer healthcare isn't on the Democratic Party platform, either:

> Vice News Correspondent Evan McMorris-Santoro noted that Pelosi told him that single payer health care should be designated as a solution for states to provide on their own and that the political reality is that Congress isn’t ready for single payer health care.

> inappropriate time management

This resonates with me. When I tried Soylent, it was because I was working WAY too much, and that "always-on" mindset carried over into other parts of my life. I felt like I didn't have time for food - I needed to be productive instead! Soylent markets to this extremely well, and it worked on me.

I stopped using Soylent when I found a healthier work/life balance, started meditating regularly, did a bit of traveling, started exercising more often, and met a new love interest. I wouldn't say that I'm a stellar cook, but I enjoy preparing meals - it's just another thing to try to do well.

So Soylent isn't really for me - though there probably are some lifestyles in which it makes sense.
In light of this observation, Google's current lawsuit could be viewed as an attempt to deter employee defection by signaling liabilities for potential acquirers, which will suppress the valuation of any acquisition.

Google was already at the center of the high-tech employee wage-fixing earlier this decade, so filing lawsuits to create deterrence wouldn't be that surprising.

It's not cognitive dissonance; dismissing the question is the only thing he can do, from a PR perspective.
