Would be interesting indeed to know what kind of set up they are using that emails are stored in SQL and don't specifically go for example through postfix/exim where it can be easily detected by logs. Or why they are not using gmail/exchange.
Is there anything​ about that a colony of a virus which destroys it's habitat is inevitably ends up in self-instinction?
> When the research reveals something that is of value to us all, yet not exploitable in a capitalist system, if there is no financial gain from exploiting research then who else will look to benefit from it.

Moreover, if there is financial gain, the incentives in the current system are to grab an idea and keep the details of its realisation under tight wraps as far as possible: Further development is done outside of public academic circles and results are protected by trade secrets or patents.

Yes, the results of the research will eventually benefit society - when offered as a commercial service or product - but only in an opaque, "black box" kind of way as the details are not for public discussion. Even that offer is primarily driven by the desire to make money and consolidate power an only secondary to advance society.

Or maybe it is with your attitude.

Just because it was easy for you and hard for others doesn't mean that you are smart and they aren't, simply that they have different sorts of leanings and talents than you.
Why not turn that to your advantage? Institute a policy wherein they are bumped down if they send an email and their reason for doing so does not fall within pregiven requirements (e.g. clerical error in recording a grade).

An excellent prof at the non-Ivy I went to did this, and it was quite effective. Some small percent of your grade (significant enough to bump you if needed) was guaranteed unless you chose to try and create noise to get moved up.

Not only that at most exit interviews or shortly after a company will normally request a signed statement that the company doesn't owe the former employee any further compensation (pay, unpaid holiday leave, etc).
I've thought about this one for a while and I keep coming back to modelling actors with a set of behaviours that influences/triggers other behaviours and variable changes (which can then influence other behaviours and variables).

This way a government becomes a set of actors whose behaviours include creation of policy, of which are intended to influence the behaviours of all actors in the governing nation, another set of actors of which the serving government is a proper subset.

Much like democracy 3, recommended below, it'd form one or more graphs, depending on how far one takes it.

My main idea was to simulate an economy independent of current economic models but then simulating government is an integral part of that project.

For anything resembling sanely typeset text you’d also want apostrophes, proper “quotes” — as well as various forms of dashes and spaces. Plus, many non-trivial texts contain words in more than one language. I’d rather not return to the times of in-band codepage switching, or embedding foreign words as images.
>UNIX shells already optimise pipelines by running the commands along it concurrently.

I am aware of that. Still, performing multiple operations on the data within a single loop and with less copying would be an optimization.

I still think the breakup from Netflix to Netflix+Qwikster (or whatever was the name) would be the right move back then.

Maybe it was too soon and poorly communicated, but they were right 6 years ago that streaming was the future and DVD lending was the legacy product.

Anyway they survived that PR blunder, luckily.

edit: and it seems they separated the DVD subscription anyway, to DVD.com. Well that makes sense.
The continuity problem will crop up across lots of disciplines, though. When we automate, we'll probably start out at the lower ends of every discipline, crowding out juniors where they'd normally onboard. That won't be too threatening to senior stakeholders in the discipline, either, so they may let it happen. And then automation will creep its way up the value chain; there'll be strong pressure for it to do so, because with automation making the onramp harder to get onto, there will be an increasing scarcity (and thus increasing profit motive) to climb the value chain.
We, at Doctrine (doctrine.fr), are "automating" the search/discovery/legal monitoring. So, we are disrupting the low-level, groundwork so lawyers can focus on higher level tasks.
It is possible to multi-task while listening to audio books. I find activities such as working out or driving a good match. Coding while listening to an audio book sounds like a bad idea. Coding while watching a TV show sounds even worse to me though, so YMMV.

If you're into Clojure et al or at least datomic you've probably used some subset of prolog (qua datalog).

Clojure also brings with it logic and relational programming which is likely the go-to choice of the Clojurist for expressing work-flow or permissions management type problems. Not exactly Prolog but it's the same difference.
Musical Instrument Repairers and Tuners are 91% "You are doomed". Off-the-shelf instruments are notoriously badly set up, and that'd probably be the kind of "good enough" level that robots could get to. For anything more organic you'd need a human luthier or whatever. After all a human is going to play the instrument, not a robot, given musicians themselves are at a 4% "totally safe" level.

Barbers are at 80%. The amount of R&D that would be needed couldn't be justified by the low waged worker the robot would replace ($24k avg apparently). There's just so much hidden complexity with all these fine-motor skill jobs. It reminds me of those old physics problems "assuming a perfectly spherical head...". Nice idea, but in practice the incentives to create a robot barber just aren't there.
That's a lot of work you've done alone :)
(Full disclosure, I'm the author of the Medium post.)

It's essentially the way Docker for Mac works, though Docker for Mac has far more mature tooling these days. Before the switch to macOS's native Hypervisor.framework, it was very much running VirtualBox with a Linux VM as a "shim" if you will.

For local dev work it scratches an itch for me and maybe for the minority of folks wanting to use OpenBSD as their workstation OS. ("There are dozens of us. Dozens!")

Plus it's just fun to play with VMM. :-)

This is Intel. None of the previous iX HEDT platforms supported ECC.

Kind of, except that ETC itself has also done a hard fork to do major protocol changes, so it's not exactly right to call it the "original, unforked chain."

The original Ethereum Homestead blockchain was designed to demand at least one hard fork. The mining difficulty was set to increase exponentially after some time, in order to force the community to make a decision regarding switching away from proof-of-work toward proof-of-stake. The ETC community hard forked the Homestead chain to remove this "difficulty bomb."

That's quite different from the "TheDAO" hard fork, but it's still a hard fork of a blockchain, so it's not true that ETC represents completely immutable law -- that community can also demonstrably agree to hard fork.

I know this is going to sound mean, but I hope it drives the point across: have the EA people actually done something so far? Besides talking, I mean.

I have yet to see a single AI's malicious behavior stopped by a proponent of AI risk, and that's considering that today's AI is still pretty dumb. I want to believe that they have released code, a specific policy, or something that I can use right now to stop the dumbest of botnets, but I'm not aware of anything.

Anyone better informed that me could chime in?
>C doesn't have type checks, unless you're using some runtime type system (like GObject) on top of it. At any rate, C may not be completely type safe, but it's better than dynamic languages which are completely type unsafe

And worse than dynamic languages which have greater type-safety. Point being that it's type safety, not static typing that helps cut down on the need for sanity checking.

>you can just use type annotations

Type annotations are both unchecked and render any code that you write unusable in python 2.

>rather than littering the code

Type annotations DO litter the code.

Surprising Connection Between HyperLoglog and DNSSEC NSEC3
I find that multiple projects are heavily used in Visual studio, because a lot tooling works better by splitting into projects instead. NCrunch is the example here.

It's easier to enforce dependency rules. A domain model should not have any dependencies on a specific technology, the easiest to way to enforce that is a separate project, with no references.

It's also really hard to do. I mean, imagine how one would achieve interoperability for a project like this. Placing blocks via an API from another service? The language/spec supporting that and everything else would be too complex.

But thankfully we have RSS for the data representation, which is a related idea, just the output side. The core of that idea is what enables this site in the first place.

You'd have had a hard time coding the web 30 years ago, given that it hadn't been invented yet; but 20 years ago, Perl was about as productive as something like Python or Ruby today[1]; a web server, after all, just provides stateless RPC. What was missing was a lot of frameworks that could permit a developer ecosystem to grow, a developer ecosystem being something that lets your more easily reuse things other people wrote. Developer ecosystems with critical mass are what increase productivity, rather than technological improvements.

[1] Technically, I think common web frameworks aren't particularly productive, because they are built around a very low common denominator. I worked on a CRUD app framework in the early 2000s that would still blow something like Rails out of the water in terms of productivity.

yea, but for a target dependent backend position.
So let's try this. Basically you are not "wrong" it's just about Belief and fiction.

Have you read the "sapiens" book? There is a good narrative in that book in that: religion, money and legal institutions are just fictions.

So I guess the question with tokens is : can we make up new fictions?

I think we can.

If you insist on "there is a reason why Regulator exist" , well I think it's not that reason you think it is.

The point is yes there is scam , see posts above. But yes there is also opportunity to find people who share similar ideas and values and express their common goals using tokens.

Does that make sense?
I have very limited time for reading but lots of time for listening while I'm washing the dishes or travelling. When I find a book that looks interesting, I download an interview with or presentation by its author from YouTube, convert it to an MP3 then listen to it.
Musical Instrument Repairers and Tuners are 91%

I guess it's a question of how to interpret the numbers. Does it mean that there is a 91% chance that no one will work as a Musical Instrument Repairers and Tuners or that we will only need 9% or the current Musical Instrument Repairers and Tuners. The former sounds very unlikely, while the latter sounds quite reasonable.

It's not about money it's about self reliance (responsibility) and agency.

"Working rich" is a concept that isn't possible in Europe outside of upper management or self employed.

Yes we get healthcare albit everyone in their right mind who can afford it still gets private insurance.

Yes we get cheap education but then we also don't get to decide where to send our children to school and private schools in countries that still have them cost a nice sum.

Digital forensics professionals deal all the time with attempts at active fraud (eg. people deleting logs, clearing caches, etc).

Ask HN: Counter-arguments: Why should we go for a RESTful API?
I've been working on an API design in my current role for a while now, and for various reasons the delivery team are looking to cut down the workload.

Our business carries out work on behalf of clients (White labelled trade) - So we have an API where our clients can create a Customer Resource, provide a Quote for that Customer, Provide an actual proposal of work for that customer, and then schedule the work in.

I propose that Customers, Quotes and Proposals are our Resources

However, the delivery team argues that, as this is not an open API (It is for several partners right now but could rise to 1000+), we can simply go with things like /v1/SubmitProposal and /v1/RetrieveProposal rather than carry out all the separate REST operations, because as long as our clients can create business, what else do they really need? They have their own databases to save data in etc.

I'm struggling to articulate business benefits to going for a full REST API vs. functions specified in a REST-looking format. What are the advantages/disadvantages that I am missing?

I can highly recommend All Japanese All The Time http://ajatt.com/

The author Khatzumoto taught himself Japanese in 18 months "by having fun", and then got a job in Japan (at Sony iirc). He then went on to use the same method to learn Chinese.

If you can get through the website's navigation, and scroll through the occasional incoherent rambling, there is solid gold advice throughout :) Good luck!

ps. While the site focuses on Japanese, the advice translates to learning any language. Plus there is advice and resources specifically for Chinese :)
It's very easy to make a "whitepaper" about solving some important problem using Ethereum/Web3/IPFS with whatever interesting kinds of voting schemes and incentives. Whitepapers of all kinds are basically designed to seem impressive and downplay problems, just like any other promotional material.

Deciding whether the organization behind that whitepaper is legit, competent, and serious enough to actually make it happen is much more difficult than ticking some bullet points. Front end development is hard to do well, cryptoeconomic mechanism design is really difficult and prone to horrible failure, marketing is hard, profit is hard, etc etc.

(As an aside, I'm curious how many people actually understand how IPFS works. Are we all clear that it's not a magic place where you can upload things to make them available everywhere forever? In most important aspects it's equivalent to BitTorrent with Magnet. You still need to seed!)

That all said, in the sense of the "Keynesian beauty contest" it doesn't really matter whether a team will actually deliver anything good. If the web presence and whitepaper hype is cool enough to generate a good buzz, that's enough to generate a speculative wave where you hopefully won't be part of the crash!

I don't know why you are marked down for this
If it isn't an open API it doesn't really matter. I would use gRPC (protobufs) so you get easy binding on both sides and better efficiency.

If third parties will need to use the API at any point I would use REST and follow Google's API design guidelines.

The other thing that is odd is that they mentioned their mother's illness took a turn for the worse and they were communicating with only the CEO via phone. It seems unlikely that you only let the CEO know at the beginning of your absence and then don't let him/her know when you will actually be coming back. It also seems unlikely that the company would accept your resignation, post the position, interview, make an offer, and have the new person start all within 6 weeks. Perhaps it is just me, but that seems like an aggressive timeframe to get all of that done.

Out of curiosity, why "to select customers" only?

I'd suppose the feeling of exclusivity isn't much of a sales point to processor buyers.

I supply is constrained, seems like demand could be similarly constrained by a price hike.

Do they get better feedback from these select customers? Better acceptance of eventual defects without bad PR?
