Well great article however two noteworthy things to point out. Over the last 10 years the hourly wage has stayed the same meaning the workers have lost purchasing power due to inflation.

If the prices of the product have gone up with inflation this just means a bigger part of the pie has gone to the owners of the business. Pretty much what one would expect with automation.

This is not a sunshine story, even if they attempt to paint it as one, and that's before one contemplates full automation where no workers are involved.

No need to be sorry, but how so?

I didn't know that. Is it done based on OS detection or is it just Netflix neglecting to support? What if I fool Netflix into thinking I'm running windows? Will I be able to play 1080p/4k then?
> That is not completely correct. It uses a mixture of text (strings) and objects. The class graph is composed of objects, but the method bodies are stored as objects and (optionally) strings.

All changes to the class graph are also stored as changes in text. Every class has a textual representation. You can load an earlier image and replay this. This is basically like loading Lisp code into a Lisp image.

> it will evaluate the code which updates the objects describing the class.

This is like Lisp. The Lisp code manipulates the runtime class graph.

> But that is not the primary representation of the code.

The primary representation is text. That's what the IDE presents you when you edit the method.
For midwifery we see that even though hardly any men enter the profession (just 11 men at band 5) we still see men in the senior positions (2 at band 8a, 1 at 8b, 2 at 8c).

So, if hardly any men enter the profession and very many women enter the profession I'd expect to see no men at band 8x (because the tiny number of men have to compete against a huge number of women at each promotion). Instead we see a higher percentage of men at band 8x than at band 5 or 6. This shows one of the mechanisms of the gender pay gap: men get promoted faster and further than women. This debunks one of the points some people are making in this thread that the gender pay gap disappears if you only look at one profession.

I've added the numbers for ambulance staff.

At the entry level positions we see a split of 60% men to 40% women.

As you go up the paybands you see the percentages changing - you see men being promoted more readily than women, until you get to the band 8ds where we see 95% men to 5% women.

Why are the ratios changing? Why do we see a higher percentage of men in senior roles in health care professions?

Trigrams are a known sweetspot. Its a practical heuristic. Got no proofs to link. Wrote awikipedia semana parser and witnessed similar results in practice.

Going above 3 adds very,very little precision while guzzling space. Using 2 shows a drop in precision.

Probably has todo with how human built systems are built (we make them in our image - and we seem to have a thing for 3s - map(subject, verb, object) -> (origin, data, destinstion) etc)

Addendum; if you know what PCA is, id wager that added n gram dimensions share a linear dependency with lower dimensions - so sharing a statistical resemblence (covar(A,B) -> 0) that adds very little to the data's variability once you start adding dims above 3.
Men are promoted faster and further than women, even when we only look at a narrow specific profession.

Countries that speak English and use English keyboards are going to show up as weaker in this kind of analysis, because the "top 50 passwords" heavily features the likes of "football" and "qwerty". I'm not sure what "top 100 password patterns" could mean.

These users (USA, then to a lesser extent India and Pakistan) really do choose objectively weaker passwords, because those passwords will be tried first by most automated password crackers. But it's not correct to conclude from that that the users have worse security practices. A better test for that would be to check against the most common passwords within each nation's corpus.
Perhaps this?

“What hardly any Americans know or remember,” University of Chicago historian Bruce Cumings writes in his book “The Korean War: A History,” “is that we carpet-bombed the north for three years with next to no concern for civilian casualties.”

How many Americans know that “over a period of three years or so,” to quote Air Force Gen. Curtis LeMay, head of the Strategic Air Command during the Korean War, “we killed off … 20 percent of the population”?

Twenty. Percent. For a point of comparison, the Nazis exterminated 20 percent of Poland’s pre-World War II population. According to LeMay, “We went over there and fought the war and eventually burned down every town in North Korea.”

Every. Town. More than 3 million civilians are believed to have been killed in the fighting, the vast majority of them in the north.

The war against the United States, more than any other single factor, gave North Koreans a collective sense of anxiety and fear of outside threats that would continue long after the war’s end.

May be it could be related to a output-code post-processor (e.g. instead of using generic entropy coding postprocessing, compress indexes with an new specific algorithm). If this allows good compression without an additional post-processing step (e.g. avoiding Huffman, arithmetic coding, etc.), it could be very interesting.
Woo, saving this.im planning a similar ptoject once im done with my studies.
This is true, but work is in progress, and some parts of the standard library already have been. And some of that work has found bugs too: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/41624

They solve different problems. In particular, ripgrep and friends are designed to search arbitrary and potentially large directories with no pre-computation. They run in time ~linear in the size of the files to be searched.

The paper under discussion here is about a new way to create an index that also takes time ~linear in the size of the files to be searched, although presumably with a higher constant factor than just searching those files. After you have the index it's possible to search it in time linear in the length of the query rather than the files. This is much faster, but requires storing an index that is at least as large as the original file set, and keeping it up to date as things are changed etc.

One possibility is that the awareness is to narrow, and you just don't notice the harm you're doing, being to stuck on the pleasure coming from concentration. Sampajanna is the 'clear comprehension' aspect of mindfulness (sati) responsible for alertness, receptivity.

I like how Tucker Peck (https://meditatewithtucker.com/, recommended, he has an online group) phrased it: when there's samadhi with not enough sampajanna, you're happy asshole. When there's sampajanna without samadhi, you can clearly see what's going on, but you can remain sad (not enough flow-induced pleasure, leaving the mind not strong enough).

In such case there's just enough mind unification to create the pleasure from the flow state, but not enough to expand the awareness and notice wtf is going on around (and for the mind to notice introspectively what it's doing).

Maybe you could try to be continuously aware of the pleasure (or rapture, to be more precise - piti) in your mind, and how the mind is clinging to it. It leads to realising that the rapture is still quite a growse and still somewhat stressful state of mind (it feels a bit like happy anxiety) and with time causes the mind to let it go and leave just the mental pleasure (sukha) or at least to make the piti component more integrated and refined. That's the idea of the Jhanas progression, but not many people know that samadhi is equally possible in day-to-day life, not just with eyes closed. Good for you :)

BTW please take what I'm saying with a grain of salt, I'm not hugely experienced.

The better question is how will you feel when your children starts calling the nanny "Mommy".

As someone that has used au pairs, nannies (both live in and out), and daycare, we finally decided one of us staying home was the best for our children. I'm male, I've been home with the kids since September 2015.
I don't know yet if it was the best decision for me, but studies seem to show it is the best for my children. I'm going for happy kids that contribute to society, I don't define their or my success by amount of money in a bank account.

The Basics of Deep Learning and How It Is Revolutionizing Technology
And in my case, there are no IT employees at all. For some reason there is budget available to buy the hardware and none to maintain it. This is changing slowly but for the moment it's the unfortunate reality. So it's up to teachers and volunteers to try and make things work, and as you were saying if things are too difficult they just stop using them.

And a side note, I was a Windows user for a decade and have now been a Mac user for a decade and the level of maintenance required for a Mac is _easily_ an order of magnitude less than Windows.
Same goes for office automation in general. Technology have augmented human-unassisted output (well, in case of office automation a lot of that has been wasted on futzing around with fonts and so on, but still...).

That's one issue that crops up in office automation, but not necessarily the biggest one. General tools like word processors and speaadsheets remain just that: tools. But once office functions gain special purpose software, it often locks in strong assumptions about workflows that translate into more, rather than less, "sorry but I can't do that."

Labor costs are not the only costs. In most cases there is also material involved and less tangible costs like rent, IT, external accounting, VAT increase that could not be forwarded (a common problem in Europe), etc.

Running a business is not simple. For most companies its a struggle. One day you win some, the next day you loose some. I have done well in the end, but I know many that did not.
Well, since you didn't mean it then I am the one who is sorry. I have obviously misjudged you, overreacted and misunderstood your phrasing.

I apologize and will try to do better next time.
Forget the feminism, there's documented problems with your approach in general. You're assuming local optimisation leads to a global maximum (or not caring whether it does), whilst any entrepreneur can tell you that's false.
I don't like the idea of any government controlling how I think. Also I feel that governments are not very good at their jobs.

Actually the Fairphone is quite free. Unfortunately the Fairphone 2 isn't rooted by default anymore, but you can install an alternative (official) Software.

it seems to me that for people in modernised industries, the disconnect is related to the fact that we work in non-natural environments. We evolved to live in nature and now we sit in artificially lit offices pressing plastic buttons to make electronic circuits fire the way we want them to. We have to be missing quite a few innate requirements that we get from wandering through fields and forests.

Gosling was an expert Lisper? I only heard that he developed a strange/tiny Lisp variant called Mocklisp as extension language for his Emacs editor.

> Design doesn't live in a vacuum.

Java was designed as a modernized/slim replacement for C++ when developing set-top boxes and PDAs. What SUN took from Lisp and Smalltalk in some limited form was the runtime: managed runtime with GC, code loading, typed objects and a virtual machine. VMs were thought as an advantage on machines with little memory, because of compact code representations. Various Lisps and also Smalltalk had that. But that was mostly it. The language level wasn't influenced by Lisp at all: no Lisp syntax, no Evaluator, no lambdas, no code-as-data, no macros, no support for functional programming, ...

Not sure why this is on HN, but I will say that having been to Israel I did observe a pervasive contempt for Palestinians, to that point that some openly talked of them as being less than human. I'm sure there's plenty of hatred going the other way as well. I would speculate that both governing entities find it useful to create a culture where people feel entitled to revel in this hatred. It makes me depressed for the chances of peace. How on earth can you get people out of their entrenched positions when neither side appears to be trustworthy?
> Over the last 10 years the hourly wage has stayed the same meaning the workers have lost purchasing power due to inflation.

The article explicitly stated that the wages were corrected for inflation ("2015 dollars"), so purchasing power has stayed the same.
The funniest thing is, it doesn't even protect the shows and movies. They're still widely available. So this only impacts legitimate, paying customers, and doesn't impact pirates at all.

Who benefits? The people that make this DRM tech. Who I'm sure make all sorts of claims about how this time, it really will solve the problem...
The patent describes something very like Moom's "Grid" feature (I think the «select more than one selectable region» bit is the key restriction).

So if the patent stands up, I suppose they'd have the option of just removing that feature.
I am not suggesting that there is competition between males and females - both are in competition with the rest of their world, especially with their prey and others seeking the same prey. If one posits that the tusk was sufficiently advantageous in helping males feed that it was selected for, that seems to imply a corresponding disadvantage for tuskless females in their competition with the rest of the world. If the female ancestors could feed just as well as the males, then what was the source of the selective pressure on males alone? Perhaps the males' sexual competition between themselves demands more food or leaves less time to find it?

As a stay at home dad, I agree. Everything is still very gender biased. I cannot tell you how hard it is for our piano teacher to start to say "mom" or "mom's", then remember I'm in the room and also say "dad".

It's also still a little socially strange for a dad to go to group of moms and try to get their phone numbers to arrange play dates.

But there are other dads that stay at home, it can be done, and everything has its challenges. We do need more men to stay at home, IMHO. In particular, young girls really benefit from strong paternal relationships.

I think there's a growing stigma in the US against being a parent. I think that has grave consequences for our children. It's hard to show compassion for others if nobody has ever shown compassion to you.
I'm unsure how this is related to my argument. I never said I liked drm, I basically just said that it's a tradeoff I'm willing to make because it's probably a necessity if they want to license the content legally. Obviously I would be mad at Facebook but it's an entirely different situation

Why do operating systems allow users to run any executable?

For programmers it's important to be able to - but when you're not coding, running any executable is not required.

It should be that all programs are in /usr/bin & the others. Only root can write there. Users shouldn't be able to run any program that is located anywhere else.

And this would be no problem. Am I wrong?
