I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. Python was plenty familiar to programmers of the day, and there's a good argument that its success is only attributable to its English-like syntax insofar as it caused adoption into CS curricula (rather I think the lion's share of its success is due to its status as an early, cross-platform, approachable scripting language). Further, Ruby is successful solely because of Rails and JavaScript solely because of it's browser monopoly; not remotely because of any broken conventions.

My point isn't that novelty is antithetical to success, but that it's a terrible mistake to assume that 1) programmers of the future will be inherently familiar with math syntax and 2) these programmers at any point in time will significantly outnumber existing programmers such that the market dynamics favor laypersons over trained programmers.
I am of course not suggesting Austrian school has paid no attention to history. Insufficient, perhaps :)

I'm objecting to the rather stronger (than an austrian would make) statement that :"systemic financial crises cannot happen without cheap,printed money". Emphasis mine. You even have to squint very hard at your first example to make it fit - it's increasingly hard to try and argue from anything pre 18th century. You can probably (and many Austrian's would) try and make the argument for this as a root cause of most/all modern crisis, but of course alternate analysis exist that are similarly grounded. It's a complex subject.
All statistics have some context they were created for, most get used outside that context.

Unemployment rate is job-seekers/(job-seekers + employed). Long term job seekers should technically be included (many are) but when they can't find a job long term, they tend to re-classify as students, stay-at-home parents, early retirees, disabled...

In practice, that statistic is usually most relevant for estimating the number of people receiving unemployment benefit. The data collection is intimately tied to this: you don't need to tell anyone you're unemployed unless you are applying for a benefit. Places (eg Ireland) with generous unemployment packages will generally register a higher unemployemnet rate because people have more of a good reason to register as unemployed, even if they expect to be re-employed quickly. Places (eg US) with much more generous disability benefits than unemployment payments will have a lower unemployement rate as people (that are borderline cases) have a strong need/incentive to be classed disabled. Australia has generous student welfare programs, this reduces measured youth unemployment. Etc. ad infinitum

Basically, unemployment is a measure of (more or less) unemployment welfare recipients/applicants. It can't be used to compare between regimes.

It also happens to be an unreliable lead indicator for short term labour market changes. I think this is what has given it its current usage.

What the press should be reporting on is employment rate: Employees/18-65_Adults. This is not gameable, and it means the same thing in every time and place. It measures what people care about when they report on unemployment rate. Alternatively, they could also report "total salary" for the country. That's how most markets get measured (eg total oil sold, total market returns, etc.).

The Enemy Gets a Vote
Arguments are divided on what constitutes a "sentient being" though. There are plenty of science-fiction morality plays around at what points robots/ai should be considered sentient. At one point tribal cultures were seen as pretty much "not sentient" for all intents and purposes.

Can you give me a test that will definitely say if a being is sentient or not that doesn't basically boil down to "is this being a human or not?"

> Case in point: Most everyone is opposed to people owning people, but very few are opposed to people owning other animals.

There have been cultures where "very few people" were opposed to human sacrifice. This is meaningless as an argument.
Telegram is definitely the most feature-rich, customisable messaging app out there.

The stuff you can do with it is amazing. Aside from having a true desktop client not dependant on your phone, I've set it up so that I receive my favourite comics(XKCD, Dilbert) when a new one releases. I can also see and delete my mail through another bot, and I can get sport scores too.

The new instant view also opens up links immediately without loading times(Medium a few other sites only so far, but most major websites are apparently coming with the new update).

It also allows you to quickly go to any date in a chat you've had with someone else(What did you talk about on 2nd June 2015?) and it has a self chat feature which is essentially an unlimited cloud service. Since you can upload files unto 1.5 GB, you can store links, photos, text and files in your self-chat, and have it available on all your devices.
None of you are going to like this.
The problem is supply side. Crowdfunded companies are giving the platform 5-10% of the capital raised. Why crowdfund and have a whole bunch of investors on your captable and give up some of that money AND deal with the compliance cost of you're strong enough to get it from angels/seed VCs. Current regulations force a broken model.

At the time, Sweden was a better candidate for extradition because it has less limitations on extradition than UK in Assange's case (because he is a Commonwealth citizen).

As for the 'if he was innocent', I see this argument quite often, and I have only this to say: his self-imposed punishment of being locked up in a closet for 5 years is worse than any possible punishment he would have received for the crime he was accused of. So tell me, if he was only looking to avoid punishment for the crime he commited, why did he impose an even worse punishment on himself?
> Still though, IR cameras by their nature are always-on and always transmitting data.

In the case of near-IR night vision CCTV cameras in common use, yes. The case of Kyllo v. United States specifically involved very expensive long-wavelength thermal imagers that are not typically used in civilian CCTV applications [0]. Furthermore, federal agents specifically pointed a mobile camera at the house to see temperature changes behind the walls, which differs from a static always-on installation.

[0] There are fixed thermal surveillance imagers (see http://www.flir.com/surveillance/display/?id=64664 for FLIR's latest), but they're typically used for military installation security. Unlike NIR cameras they require no external illumination, and are tuned to detect the black-body radiation naturally emitted by warm-blooded things.

Caddy will just refuse to even handle them.

You're coming across as a Kotlin hipster. I would just be happy the language is now on more people's radar. Maybe some folks had never even heard of the language before this year's IO. Learning a new programming language and its idioms isn't a trivial time investment for devs swamped with work, so waiting until a heavy hitter like Google throws its weight behind it is quite a pragmatic approach.

2 molecules in an air column. OCO-2 makes measurements in three different spectral bands over four to eight different footprints of approximately 1.29 km × 2.25 km (0.80 mi × 1.40 mi) each.

It's air columns, so again you would have a hard time proving that the source of the detected pollutants came from the area & excluding the case that they drifted into the area at a higher altitude.

So you have a post on a forum. You can just save that to disk by itself and access it later. And here come the problems.

How many posts are there? Filesystems commonly have problems dealing with too many files, like inode limits, slowness reading large directories or in deep paths, slowness traversing large trees, path name max size, etc. Now you have to engineer a bunch of hacks around the filesystem, or try to find a perfect filesystem and be stuck with it.

What if you want to search posts? Well, you have to open and read all the posts. But what if you want to speed that up, like with a word index? Congrats, you're about to write a database/search engine.

What if dynamic processing is too resource-intense and you want to serve static content? Once you apply transforms to the user content and create your static resource, you get to decide if you keep the original content, because it's not useful to you just sitting on disk.

What if you want to merge, upgrade, convert, export, etc parts of the data? You have a big job ahead of you if you didn't keep the original content, and if you did, I hope you kept metadata to make this task easier.

What if you want to spread the load, store records efficiently, control I/O methods and cache, support strong locking, platform independence, and storage backend independence?

Databases are a powerful and simple tool to add features to an application and make it easier and more efficient to process data. If you don't want app features, data processing features, platform independence, etc then don't use a database.
Which will never happen because the government loves the control its surveillance buddies, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Apple provide. And the people will keep voting for the politicians who will "protect them" from "threats" like terrorism and drugs.

> how so? how would a type system have helped here

Do you understand the implications of basing your container on interface {} signature ? if yes, then how can you ask such question?

Obviously they can't do it any other way since Go has no support for user defined generic containers.

To a point that the go team itself can't even add new container types to their own language. They'd have to rewrite the compiler everytime they do it.

Questions such as yours makes me realize that a lot of go developers don't even understand what is the purpose of generic programming.
Yeah, they have limited vocabulary. This is generally the best way to interpret their use of the word.

Can't speak for OP, but in a more general sense, society as a whole will never be ready for some things that some individuals are for. That's why we (America) are a nation of laws, not of man. There will always be someone who doesn't like you, or what you do, or what you stand for, simply because it's all subjective.
The fact that it is a varied factor is exactly the issue I'm point out. It needs to no longer be varied.

I respectfully disagree. Even if you don't think it is truly a symmetrical relationship, introducing an arbitrary separation makes it harder for students to develop relationships with their teachers. And learning is definitely enhanced by relationships between students and teachers.

This. There are many incredible organizations doing great work in the code for good space, and not solely in the non-profit or government sectors.

I’ll second the reference to Code for America. I have a colleague who did their fellowship and learned a ton while working with some great local governmental agencies. They’ve also recently launched a job board to curate high impact mission-driven jobs and jobs with local government entities: https://jobs.codeforamerica.org/.

You've obviously never spent any time around chickens. They are not stupid by any means. They are able to solve problems, they are social, they have individual personalities.
Telegram has great features. It's fast, available on every platform, and the clients are open source. I've had good uptake on it among friends and family, especially with the option of easy web and desktop clients.

As others have said it's not as theoretically secure as WhatsApp or (especially) Signal. But I think it benefits from being the main product of a company that is totally focused on messaging, not on advertising (see all of Facebook and Google's messengers). The experience is great and even as they add features, they manage to keep things clean and stay out of your way, so you can ignore all the new features and just use it for simple stuff that it does really well.

That said, I haven't used WhatsApp much because I don't know many people who do. It comes down to where the people you want to talk to are, and if you can influence them to go elsewhere.

One thing that I notice is missing from most (all?) online language courses is wider context. Not cultural context, but basic grammatical context. Most of them on focus on learning words or sentences.

This is fine for similar languages. When you learn French you can learn that 'the' equals 'le' and 'la' and apply some extra rules to smooth over the differences.

It totally falls down on languages that have less in common. Almost all Japanese natives who speak English struggle with 'the' and 'a'. (this isn't a criticism, just a fact of life). I wonder if part of the problem is that most people learn languages on the sentence level. Read the following sentences:

The man went to the store.

A man went to the store.

Which one is correct? Well, there's certainly nothing grammatically wrong with either, but depending on the situation one or the other could be very misleading, confusing and unnatural. Most people, at least in Japan, learn from textbooks showing examples like this. It tells you absolutely nothing about 'the' and 'a'! So they end up reading huge explanations in their native language and come away thinking 'Wow, foreign languages are hard'.
It was also a surprise for me when I found out that Google Cloud does Microsoft .NET. Within minutes of setup, I was already connecting to my newly created server via remote desktop. The rest I do manually.

My first choice was AWS. Their telephonic verification system failed when I was trying to signup and I wasn't allowed to finalise signup. Tried 3-5 times more and gave up. Just when I was about to rewrite my system using open source technologies, I discovered that Google Cloud does have .NET support. It was a big relief.
Have you ever seen how chickens are raised for mass-scale meat production?

I used to catch the bus across the street from a chicken-processing plant. They live in cages that are just large enough for the chicken itself, and the cages are stacked quite high, so that except for the top level, all of them are constantly getting waste dumped on them by the chickens further up in the stack.

Seems pretty torturous to me.
Interesting.

So you are talking about executive management, finance, and other overhead staff not developers or product development.

I asked because you mentioned developer salaries earlier in the thread.

24% does seem awfully high.
Ask HN: Why some startup equity agreements have “repurchase on divorce” clause?
I've noticed that some startup founders equity agreements have introduced a "repurchase right on divorce" clause that allows the company to repurchase shares of the company stock upon involuntary transfer of the stock from a founder. For example, if the founder`s spouse owns equity as a part of common property and there is divorce, shares could be repurchased from founder`s spouse. That is shitty, in my opinion. What is the main reason behind that clause? Is it a must-have, or VCs don't really care?

>What policy has Trump enacted that demonstrates the current administration is (functionally) far right?

There's Betsy DeVos' new move to eliminate Income-Based Repayment plans for student loans, and many state-level bills to criminalize any protests that interfere with economically significant business (including labor pickets). And of course Jeff Sessions trying to restart the Drug War when basically everyone else just wants it ended. Remember, "far-right" doesn't just mean "fascist". It also just means "extremely capitalist" or "authoritarian in a conservative or capitalist cause".

The American Right has actually spent a lot of political capital treating Trump as outside movement conservatism, as an aberrant far-right movement hijacking the Republican Party. They still have some of the William Buckley spirit to them, in which the John Birch Society or the Ku Klux Klan get purged rather than integrated.
