I interviewed a woman once who'd graduated from Caltech. She was massively overqualified and a fine fit. So about 10 minutes into the interview I started just having a nice conversation.

She'd gone to Caltech. That was on her resume. So I asked her if she'd ever taken a class from Feynmann. That was actually unlikely but she had sat in on a seminar with Feynmann once. She said he could explain the most difficult material and that you would understand it. You would understand it walking away and this would last about 15 minutes during which time you confuse yourself.
I think he was talking about hypothetical slackers that work as FTEs. If not for their fuck ups, The spaghetti code wouldn't exist and neither would the job of cleaning it up.
Any dynamic language - by definition, they check types at runtime.

Or, unfortunately, a lot of static languages. Any static language that allows type casting, for instance - that's the only way they can check whether a cast from a type to one of its descendants is valid (eg, in Java, casting an Object to a, say, URL).
All that is true, and irrelevant to the winners.

Kind of curious: How much lower you want them to go on the power/heat metric? Your current CPU is an 84W TDP part. A Ryzen 7 1700 has twice the number of cores and draws 65W with stock settings. The 1700 can get hot, but really only if you overclock it.

Of course more performance per watt is always better and I too hope Zen 2 can be even better. But right now, in certain scenarios, Ryzen is already leading in both performance per watt and per dollar.

My read [which, knowing full well we're talking about the US government I'm still having a hard time believing] is that the SpaceX cost is 23% of the ULA cost. Meaning 77% less.

Do I misunderstand: "SpaceX won a contract to launch another GPS 3 satellite for $96.5 million. These represent "all-in, fully burdened costs" to the government, and so they seem to be roughly comparable to the $422 million "unit cost" in the Air Force budget for 2020."?
health insurance should be for catastrophic events rather than routine visits

But routine visits often severely reduce the rate of catastrophic events. Catching cancers early, assessing risk factors, etc.
The Mill isn't really very well suited for supercomputing workloads. It tries to do well on poorly written C++ code (aka "general purpose code") that OoO machines have historically don well on. By contrast, VLIW machines are perfectly suitable for supercomputing, and indeed, I think that Itanium did well in the HPC world until it was discontinued.

Something like the Rex Computing Neo would be more suitable for this.
It's not like the DoE are the only ones with expensive computers: The NSA has their underground lair.

There's a commercial need for expensive distributed processing now, with Google/AWS/Azure spending a lot on video cards. The ML craze may make government spending on supercomputers less important, especially if people prefer to distribute calculations on many interchangeable computers.

I wouldn't mind a few NSF or DoD grants for novel computing architectures, but I'm not sure I buy that having massive supercomputers for economic forecasting is "strategically important for nations".

Problem with top execs incarceration is that it's not good for economy and country in general (sometimes, not always). It's more beneficial to fine them and let them go working/breaking law further.

Yes, that's not fair, but it's logical.

Having lived for some time in another country, I've seen counter-examples too: when execs were incarcerated for minor things and mere accusations, effectively destroying the companies they've built, so hundreds of employees had to look for another job. Everyone's seen that fairness doesn't play well with pragmatics, and it's better to let them go even if they are guilty.
That is a great example. But HSBC is hardly as innocent as you're making out.

> Breuer admitted that drug dealers would sometimes come to HSBC's Mexican branches and "deposit hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, in a single day, into a single account, using boxes designed to fit the precise dimensions of the teller windows."

The gist of the case is that HSBC were so brazenly negligent, that the only logical conclusion is that they were deliberately looking the other way in order to make more profit, and they paid $1.9B to make the problem go away. That's on $670 billion in wire transfers and $9.4 billion in cash transactions from its Mexico bank operations during the period under question [1].

Ask HN: Being a male how do you deal with sexist comments about female coworkers
I've worked at both big companies and startups. In both worlds, I've had some of my co-workers often make sexist comments in one form or other about female co-workers.

Should I just be dismissive about this as locker room talk? I generally try to focus on the task at hand and ignore these comments, but when they mention that they would hire/promote/applaud a female coworker because of her physical features, I don't know if they are joking or really mean what they say.

I've been in the industry for only a couple of years and just wondering if this is the norm and how to set my attitude to adjust to this.
This is both market failure and government failure. And the reason why we're arguing is the politics demands fighting for government or for the free market.

Health care industry in the U.S. includes hospitals, doctors, R&D, pharmaceuticals, insurance. All of those things are for-profit, but are also anti-competitive because they don't voluntarily, or by law, publish prices; they have conglomerated (mergers) more than banks; we confuse insurance with payment plans, a fair chunk of insurance cost is a payment plan for predictable procedures colds, annual checkups, pregnancy, aging. Aging is probably the biggest part of the payment plan because almost everyone is going to have problems related to it eventually.

My main criticism with ACA and proposed AHCA is that it effectively subsidizes a busted system. The U.S. spends 3x per capita for healthcare that does not cover everyone, compared to OECD countries who do cover everyone. U.S. pays more money to cover fewer people. It's an inherently classist system.

To really solve this we have to be willing to merge private insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, FEHB, military and veterans medicine, into one system. All of the conglomeration says is this is a natural monopoly but we keep trying to force something that's inherently anti-competitive to be competitive. It'd still be unfair but metric tons better than what we have, to just hand over the whole mess to a team made up of epistomologists and economists and then adopt their recommendation.

The Van Riper story is often told but not nearly as demonstrative as you might think. Much of what happened was just the simulator breaking in surprising ways that the participants didn't know about. A simple argument you might appreciate is that the UK, France, and China are all currently building aircraft carriers. They wouldn't be doing that if carriers were obsolete.
In the 'Age of fake news' who's to trust anything from anywhere.
hmmm I'm pretty new to HN, I think I probably should have posted this under show HN... not sure if I can move it or delete it now.
Van Riper's handling of his side of that exercise had plenty of problems, mostly related to him abusing the parameters of the simulation to create obviously nonsensical situations. For example, his victory came in part from launching 5,700-pound anti-ship missiles from 5,200-lb-displacement speedboats.

> [I] have never seen it in practice. Understandable Lisp isn't that compact.

Also, you are literally replying to a comment chain provoked by a post that argues, with code, exactly this point. The Clojure (a Lisp dialect) version has the same core logic as the Java version. The core logic is virtually inarguably just as readable as the Java version. And it is just shy of an order of magnitude fewer lines of code than the Java version.

So here's an example from a real, live code base of understandable Lisp, in practice, that is 10x more compact than the Java version.
It probably needs an innovation in articles of incorporation, something like the "benefit corporation" that would bind a certain criminal liability to the board and/or officers in a very explicitly way. Right now they don't see jail time except in pretty narrow cases, like say Enron, where it was violations of fiduciary duty. Enron, and its auditor, did basically get the corporate death penalty (they're gone). And the shareholders were destroyed.

I'm not sure about elk, but deer tend to have an alpha male that mates with multiple females, so shooting a buck doesn't damage the population as much. I think that's why antelope hunting is gender-agnostic and you need to win a lottery to do it: They're monogamous, so killing a male has the same impact on the population as killing a female.
Does PG's Jason support multi-master sync? Native db level support for that feature simplifies a lot of my use cases. It'd be interesting to see a SQLite/WebSQL <-> Postgres multi-master syncing system. It'd be the equivalent of CouchDB <-> PouchDB. Maybe even using the same CouchDB protocol! :-)

CouchDB and Couchbase both support only whole document updates. So you get document conflicts in those document stores as well, meaning your app needs to understand and handle 409's. But those conflicts are relatively easy to handle in most cases, at the cost of a new round trip. Mostly it's a matter of downloading the new document state and merging your change to it and re-post. If you're using Redux/Vuex/Event Sourcing this becomes trivial to support. Another way to handle it is to split a single large document into smaller pieces and write a map/reduce view that returns a composite document. That should be possible in Postgres as well with a prepared statement.
AeroMobil to Exhibit Its Flying Car at the Paris Air Show
Plenty of countries don't have large banks of conventionally armed cruise missiles, like Riper used. Pretty much just the US, Russia and Maybe China could assemble something like that quickly.

Aircraft carriers are still useful, they just aren't invincible. They are supposed to stay out of harms way and project force with aircraft. That is something that Riper's enemies did not calculate well. They grossly overestimated themselves and underestimated him and his men.

If we could get more honest exercises we could see what that actual limits are. Those limits probably don't make Aircraft carriers completely useless and probably don't leave the de facto platform to launch all war activity from.
What would happen is we would desperately need many more wolves again.
I don't think I was clear in my comment, I personally find great joy in learning things (which makes me something of an autodidact) its just one of those things.

My desire to understand things though has never been a hindrance to using them. Long before I understood how compilers worked I was using them daily, long before I understood how PN junctions did what they did I was soldering diodes into boards.

It only generates tension when I want some tool to do something that it cannot do, and reasoning about whether the constraint is due to the tool or the implementation of the tool can only happen if I really understand what the tool is actually doing.
In general, idealized terms, anarchism is the belief that all transactions between people should be voluntary and non-coercive. Because states derive their power though a monopoly on involuntary coercive force, anarchists believe that no state and no interaction with a state can be morally justified.

Beyond that, anarchists seem to disagree about everything except whether or not taxes are theft or weed should be legal, and probably not even that.

Personally, I suspect anarchy simply resets the evolutionary curve of society to clan-based power structures, and that tribalism, mafias, serfdom and states proper will inevitably be reinvented.

In the communities I look at, the only Intel processors still getting regularly recommended are the Pentium G4560 and the Intel i7-7700K. And that's from consumers to consumers.

Also, when I look at my meta-benchmark for games, I see Ryzen with really good results by now. That changed a bit, it improved now that games are getting optimized and ram support is getting better. Before the i5 was still more viable.

I don't have insight into the whole market, but from my small observer position Ryzen does look like a pretty huge success.

For God's sake, don't start another cold war. This is an established incumbent, who has monopolized world power for decades, feeling threatened by a new kid in town. Any progress China has made has been labeled as threat, cold war, or dismissed as useless, or blamed on China's stealing US secrets. As an instance, China bought many Intel chips to create supercomputers. Then the U.S. government banned Intel from selling high end chips to China[1]. China had to create homemade chips for world's fastest supercomputer[2].
