We can look at technologies from two different points of view -- a engineers or as scientists.
As engineers, we look at sha-3 as a practical means to an end -- just a secure hashing algorithm. From that point of view, its un-necessary as we already have sha-2.
As scientists, it's an experiment and we're still waiting to see the results. The hypothesis is that its existence will strengthen our existing pool of hashing algorithms. We should note that this is a poor hypothesis; given that we don't see any flaws in our [only?] other algorithm, it's currently impossible to test. However; as with many other important experiments, we are seeing other un-expected results and applications.
As an engineer, I acknowledge that it's probably best to skip it in most production applications. But as a scientist, let's not skip if anything cool happens down the line?

Scrum is a process with way more than just daily stand ups. Obviously a company can do whatever works for them, but formal 'scrum' involves time-delineated sprints, planning meetings, demos, retrospectives, the daily stand ups, pointing stories and a handful of other aspects.

> In contrast, representative democracies like the US are very resistant to sudden shifts in populist sentiment.

Representative democracies are notoriously prone to populist shifts; the US, though, has a system with many different and conceptually independent levers of power checking each other which is generally thought to make it resistant to populist shifts, and this was probably quite true in practice before the era of modern mass communication and nationalization of most politics and political movements when those levers really were largely independent in practice as well as in theory. But it's not the late 18th Century any more.

If gender equality has a negative effect on the climate (ie. more cars, more refined produce consumed, etc), why would they have this as a requirement in the Paris accord?

I guess where I was getting at is that they seemed to have used this agreement to push a westernized social agenda. Considering that every country is sovereign, I'm not sure this is a proper approach.

Mind you, I would love to have gender equality across the world but it would be preferable to offer opt-in approaches.

I'll add my usual comment in discussions about interpreter/compiler books: I'd really love to read a modern book or in-depth tutorial on creating a statically-typed functional language, with discussions on pattern matching, type inference, tail call elimination, ADTs, etc.

There are so many great books out there on how to create a lisp, or a typical mutable object-oriented language, but with one notable exception (that's unfinished), there are no approachable online tutorials/books out there that I've found on building compilers or interpreters for functional languages. Only academic papers, a textbook, and one or two books from 20-30 years ago.

Pierce's Types and Programming Languages is a great textbook that covers all of this material, but from an extremely detailed and formal academic perspective. It would be great to see more approachable tutorials or short books online to complement Pierce's text.

I've started writing my own in-depth tutorial on this subject using Scala as the implementation language, but would love to see other tutorials/books as well.
My reading of that idiom is that it implies an assumption that they are the best replies. My comment was to point out that there's no reason to think that would be the case.
Also a common naming scheme in music, which is where APL got the terms from: one note is a monad, two simultaneously is a dyad, three is a triad, four is a tetrad, etc.

Fwiw APL's use of monad in this sense predates the FP use of the term by several decades.

This is certainly relevant to the ad-blocker debates. Counting up "lost revenue" at all-user clickthrough rates is a fairly dirty trick when people running adblockers almost certainly have exceptionally low clickthrough rates.

(It's a lot like the creative accounting around media piracy, actually. Assuming that 100% of people who pay $0 for a torrented movie would have paid $10 instead is absolutely deranged.)

Is the lower priority actually noticeable though? Like have their been any third party tests? I'd never heard that until today but it does make sense I guess. They want their own traffic to come first.

I don't think that's a fair characterization. If someone says they suffer from bipolar illness, you wouldn't assume that their "real" problem was that they had a sprained ankle. Similarly someone complaining of CFT shouldn't be assumed to have a mental health problem instead. That doesn't diminish the severity of either kind of problem.
Announcing the Open Source Survey
After the Second World War, the part of the city the Technical University of Berlin was in came under British administration.

They quickly passed a decree mandating classes in philosophy, politics, languages, and other social sciences to be required for every student–engineers, physicist, chemists etc.

The idea was that never again should a generation grow up with the power of scientific knowledge but none of the tools to judge the ethics of using that power.

Meaning: there are times where enjoying purely the wonders of technology is a luxury you can't afford. For HN, it doesn't mean a need to debate the Paris accords. But this community has quite a few people sitting at the levers of power, and where technology and politics/policy intersect, it can make a meaningful difference for people to know that the group of peers whose judgement they may value would, for example, applaud them for walking off the job instead of handing over the iPhone encryption keys.
I got a chance to hang out with Immortal Technique some 5 or 6 years ago (very political, well known rapper). That night we all talked a lot about wealth inequality, and how it impacts working people int he New York region. He referred to New York City post-Giuliani as the "Disneylandification of New York", as the continuing influx of Wall Street capital and increasing wealth inequality sanitized and built up manhattan and surrounding land at the expense of people nearby. How it changed the relationships between people and local communities, and changed the relationship between police and those communities.

I've always thought that was a really great way to phrase it. Its funny, but also works on a surprisingly large number of levels, rather intuitively.

Please don't do this. Don't look at two points on a chart, the low and high, and think your the one in a million person who would have traded at those points. That type of thinking fuels bubbles.

With a speculative and volatile investment, you either get out immediately when it starts tanking or you take your 2-3X return and consider yourself smart and disciplined.

> People who drop several hundred to thousands for an outfit aren't going to do it online anywhere near as often as in person at a boutique.

Plenty of people pay hundreds or thousands of dollars online for single items, largely because of the rise of free returns which make it risk-free to try the item on.

Not to say everyone prefers online shopping - my wife certainly doesn't, but I would want to see some actual stats saying high end shoppers prefer retail at a greater rate than low end shoppers; I don't expect the correlation to price point to be as strong as to whether they have free return shipping :)
But the issue is that for AdSense, Google solicits ad buyers, removes scams, and distributes traffic. If you're paying to not see ads, it's unclear what good Google is doing compared to just paying the publisher.

It's not zero-value, since the transaction costs of paying every publisher are crippling. But there's no definitive reason to look to Google for this value.
Fascinating, thank you very much. To me a completely novel way to think about CA. Going to have a play with this.
The first thing that a BGP speaking router does is to look up the destination IP address in its table of autonomous system numbers (ASNs). An AS is a group of networks that are all under the control of the same policy maker. If you get your internet connectivity from one ISP, you fit in their AS. If you talk to multiple ISPs, you need to be your own AS (and have routable IP addresses assigned to that AS). Finally, the largest networks may be a confederation of several AS, either as a result of purchases or by deliberate policy.

BGP transmits reachability information by building paths of AS that are neighbors. Then, typically, it selects the shortest path of AS hops. (There are a lot of knobs to twiddle with here, both on the advertising side and on the deciding side.)

BGP doesn't care or know about numbers of router hops, just the number of AS between here and there.

There are lots of "network engineer in a box" products that map out performance and then twiddle knobs on your BGP router to select for best performance (or least cost, if some of your paths are more expensive than others.)
'artistic' or 'aesthetic', maybe, for the second one?

Like you, I tend to see efficiency as most beautiful, especially when one simple structure fulfills several complex requirements simultaneously. A tiger or a gazelle is beautiful because it's very close to optimal for the niche it's evolved to fill.

In some the model is very similar in outline (but superior in execution) to the US ACA model: everyone is required to buy insurance with certain minimum standards, with subsidies and/or a public fallback program for the indigent. In some there is a universal public baseline program that everyone is on that you may be able to supplement on top of, as you describe, but that's not at all generally true.
At this scale, it's not just about money. You have to think about social structure as well. Suppose we did inflate the heck out of our currency and hand it all to our retirees. What would that do to the economy? Well, it would make it so that you'd make a lot more money serving old people, be it for their needs or their wants, than doing other things that people current profitably do. It rearranges the entire economy, in ways that are not necessarily sustainable in the long term. For instance, just as a limit exercise, you can't afford everyone go into geriatric care and stop growing food because food is no longer profitable enough. You can't actually get to that point because everyone would starve, of course, but you can get seriously deep into that sort of misallocation at smaller scales. (More realistically, "should I go into a STEM career or go work at the old folk's home?" Of course you can't get 100% to the latter but you can reallocate a lot in that direction.) Individually the economy doesn't care if one person goes into engineering or goes to work for retirees, but at scale that matters a lot.

The real problem with these pension promises isn't just that we're promising money we don't actually have... the problem is that we're promising a quality of life we can't sustain. We can't give every retiree a life that matches their pre-retiree life in most material ways (perhaps minus a mortgage), and promise them all the best health care that they could possibly want, and promise them that they can retire into this at 65 and keep all these benefits no matter how long their life span may improve, and that no matter how the social winds may blow in the future or how the economic winds may blow in the future that these benefits are written in stone. This ultimately isn't about the money, it's about what they expect this money to be buying them. No amount of accounting tricks can fix these problems for real; focusing too much on "dollars" obscures this fact.

The entire concept of fixed benefits in the future is a lie. It was always a lie, even if some people have managed to cash some in. The future is not predictable enough even before we consider people trying to game the predictions themselves or changing their behavior in light of the predictions.
> What can explain a psychological disorder other than underlying physical disease? Attributing a disease to psychological disorder is indistinguishable from saying "we don't understand what causes this."

It might be ultimately reducible in this way, but the treatments for various psychological conditions are often very different than physiological problems.

I doubt that's true, in fact, could be the reverse. SS is not enough in many cases for poor people to live on because they have less in savings, but if they earn too much working, they can't qualify for SS. They also have shorter lifespans. Middle class people in general live longer and can afford to retire earlier because SS complements their savings, which transfers to them the taxes on the wages of the poor.

This s a bit tangential, but it's not clear that larger blocks, or any other way of getting a higher on-chain transaction throughout, would result in less total fees collected by miners. The fees are set by the miners, after all.

I was thinking the same thing. Short of DIY cold storage, there's quite a bit of holding risk.

Even cold storage has the risk of being held at gunpoint to transfer it over. It's akin to having a bunch of cash/gold buried under your basement. If anybody knows it's there, you better be ready!

How do interview when this is your mindset?

I ask this sincerely because this is the mindset that I've noticed has made me the happiest and I'm currently looking for a new place that will pay me more. I've been happier when earning more and working less. I don't really care about what I do while at work or whether I'm using a hot technology or what the company does. This doesn't mean I care about what I'm doing. I do care and put effort in during the work day and I've always had high praise from managers.

Unfortunately, in order to distinguish themselves, pretty much every company wants to market themselves as such a great place to work and of course they ask the question "Why do you want to work here?" when for me the honest answer would be "I would want to work there if you pay the most and I can stick to a max office time of 8 hours per day." But I play along and say generic things about the product and people and show interest.

I find meaning in my life outside of work and more money helps me achieve my outside goals which makes me happy.
I think the point they were making was that since we know of weaknesses in certain situations we should avoid using it even in the safe situations so that we can eventually drop it from crypto libraries all together. There are alternatives that we can all move to.

Deep adversarial neural decoding
It's ... very complicated. In most situations, as long as the transaction has a reasonable fee attached to it, you can proceed immediately (this is called a 0-conf transaction), as you can be pretty sure that it will be confirmed eventually. Of course, there are some transaction malleability edge cases that allow double-spends that are fixed with a new feature called segwit that hasn't rolled out yet, so if you are dealing with a potentially malicious party then 0-conf isn't good enough.

In theory, you should wait for a transaction to have at least six confirmations on it before truly trusting it. That has always taken an average of an hour from the transaction first going into a block. It's the "first going into a block" part that takes longer now, unless you attach a higher fee to ensure that it goes in quickly.

Politics, from my Norwegian social studies textbook, is defined as "the subject of distributing the burdens and surpluses of society". Nothing to do with manipulation there. The same definition can be used for office politics.

Manipulation only enters into it when people use dishonest means to pull the surpluses over to themselves, and the burdens over to people who shouldn't carry them.

BGP doesn't inherently measure time for hops. The base setup is to use the path with the lowest number of unique Autonomous Systems (AS). But, there are also concepts of weight, where you can influence the chosen path manually. And, there's also "Multi-Exit Discriminator", or MED, where you can pass a metric to a peer on what the best path to a specific AS is.

Even that's an unfair simplification, though. Cisco has a pretty good page that shows how path choices are made: http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/ip/border-gateway-...

There are products, though, that tweak these settings to pick for best performance, or lowest bandwidth cost.
