This is what George Daniels has to say about bringing his Coaxial escapement to the Swiss manufacturers (experts at the time):

"I took a watch and a drawing and showed them how it worked and they said, "oh well, its complicated, and in any case we don't make pocket watches". So, I went home and got a wristwatch and put the same escapement in the wrist watch, took it back, "oh well we make thinner wristwatches". So, I went home and got a very thin wristwatch ... then there was some reason they couldn't accept it, then they did try to make it and failed, therefore it was no good ... went on like that for 15 years"

> "Mr.Kalanick conveyed to Mr. Levandowski in response that Mr. Levandowski should not bring any Google information into Uber and that Uber did not want any Google information. Shortly thereafter, Mr. Levandowski communicated to Uber that he had destroyed the discs"

Emphasis mine. Does anyone else find this to be particularly odd wording for 2016/7? When was the last time anyone here that is tech savvy use multiple disks for storage of anything? Desktop and laptop hard drives can now hold multiple terabytes of data and thumb drives now hold in excess of one terabyte. Plus, most people now use drives not discs. Most laptops don't even contain disk drives and haven't for years.

I'm probably alone here, but this detail alone makes this heresay seem suspicious to me. Did anyone else find the mention of multiple discs in 2016/7 odd as well?
This assumes that your USB stick doesn't get checked on the airport.

Secondly, people can exactly not trust the data because there is no way to trustlessly get those hashes to begin with from within IPFS and you get back to normal HTTP which... is censorable.

Lastly, this also assumes that the one running the node is not arrested either.

>Another way to distribute once the data is within China is to do it via private networks built with cjdns or similar

Which again, assumes cjdns and other methods do not get people into possibly lethal trouble or aren't censored/outright blocked to begin with.

edit: You also forgot about the government blocking IPFS within their own country.

Clojure is good for everything you'd use Java for. So pretty much anything that's going to be long running, like services, or big apps meant to be open for a while. Yes, that fits the enterprise use case perfectly. A backend for any service oriented architecture, ETL jobs, data processing pipelines, backend for websites, rest/rpc/graphql services, client/server applications, big data analysis, machine learning, etc.

Clojure is not good for quick scripts, use bash, python, perl, hy, clojurescript, etc. for that.

Clojure is not good for low level code, like drivers, embedded systems, os, etc. Use rust, c, c++, D, etc. instead.

Clojure isn't good for squeezing every ounce of power out of hardware, such as games, use C++, assembly, etc. for that.

Clojure isn't good for mobile app development, use Java, swift, c#, objective-c, etc. for that.

Clojure isn't good as an embedded scripting language, use LUA, python, javascript, tcl, scheme, etc. instead for that.

Therefore Clojure competes mostly against Java, Scala, C#, F#, GO, NIM, Haskell, etc. Now as an astute reader, you've noticed how none of the competing languages I've listed are dynamic or of the lisp family. This makes Clojure unique in its space and the most controversial.

Millennial Men Are Bolstering the Plastic Surgery Industry
It's interesting reading a pseudo-critique of the "new cultural elite" coming from an author who lives in that elite and an institution that represents that elite globally.

It's like a weird ritualistic self-criticism exercise, to demonstrate goodness and status. Like watching a beauty pageant contestant answer a question about her flaws. Which is part of the virtue signaling that article is about! It's so meta.

And it's nothing like what an outsider to that subculture would write.

I'd actually say that getting a useless degree in an intensively political field is one of the more interesting 'new' forms of conspicuous consumption.

Back in the day, people used to get tutored in Latin or Christian theology to have upper-class cred. Now they get gender studies or "whiteness studies" degrees.

In each case the message is the same: I am so wealthy that I can spend all my time doing things that don't economically benefit me at all and are entirely focused on elevating my morality in the dominant activism of our age. It's a sort of ritualistic destruction of your own ability to earn a living, to demonstrate you don't have to earn a living. Like Chinese foot binding.
Of course I don't know--that's why I said "I wonder". I have, however, worked in non-game-developing companies who eschewed the standard library, and when pressed the argument boiled down to: someone who worked here long ago said the STL was slow and therefore we don't use it. I am _wondering_ if it's the same story at other companies.

That is so ridiculously unfair. 1) You expect someone making minimum wage to have the time and energy to put together a sound investment strategy. 2) Humans LIKE to spend their money the second they have access to it. Among families giving million dollar trust funds to their children, parents commonly don't allow trustees to have access to their funds until they are in their mid thirties. These are children who go to Ivy League schools, and their parents don't let them have access to their savings. It's not because they are stupid, its because they are human.
Actually, the comparisons between simple and double framerate are not "true" one factor at a time comparisons because the motion blur is not the same (linked to the camera shutter).

A few weeks ago I started a simple open source project that got a little bit of traction over here in HN. Since then I've had 4-5 active volunteers contributing to the project and I'm ever so thankful for them. But I've got to admit, even 4-5 active volunteers is quite taxing on my time: I need to spend a fair bit of time reviewing stuff, triaging issues, updating the README or the code to be more newcomer friendly and what not.

I can't even imagine that in a 1000x scale, which is what Linus has done (I know that he has people working under him taking care of certain sections of the kernel, but it's still incredible how he has managed so many people, companies and organizations for so long so efficiently).

my bet is that they are receiving so much submissions, and actually buying all of them, that I guess the company, or a few clever individuals, saw the "consulting" or equipment renting/financing potential and will try to monetize on selling cookie cutter packages.
Even if they didn't do that, there's nothing stopping a competitor from having the same policy.

Well, Kalanick told Levandowski to destroy the files immediately, and hired him knowing that he had taken the files from Waymo.

I'm not quite sure what to make of that. He's so desperate to win at self-driving cars that he'll hire Levandowski, even though Levandowski has proven himself to be shady? He's "telling" Levandowski (with a wink) to destroy the files, really meaning "keep a copy at home, don't let it ever touch our work computers, but keep feeding us the information"? Or what?

I guess, at a minimum, the fact that Uber tried to delay this information from getting into the court case means that it isn't innocent. (Or they're afraid that it looks bad enough that it's really going to cost them. But delaying disclosure makes it look bad, too...)

I always find the idea of future proofing interesting here. Like the way Seinfeld reruns are in HD even though the technology didn't really exist at the time--because they shot a TV show in actual film and then could re-scan it later to keep up with modern tech.

Crazy expensive but obviously given the value of those reruns the cost made sense.

Price comparison against current taxi services operating in the US is akin to a price comparison of a complex medical procedure across US medical providers - there's a lack of transparency around pricing, and a bunch of gotchas, such as the driver not taking the optimal route or frowning at you for a mere 10% tip.

So until taxicab operators in major cities get a nifty app with guaranteed pricing most of people would just limit the price comparison to Uber vs Lyft.
The type of work that you list is work where it won't be paid work - I mean, whatever system you create so that people get paid for it is in some way UBI in disguise; the market value for that work is near zero (as you say, people simply don't want to pay the people doing that work), so you may get paid "for" that work, but de facto you'll get paid just because. No matter if you frame such transfer payments as charity or as forced redistribution, it's not payment for the work, it's paid because the society decided to pay you despite the work having no economic value - as in the principle you mention, that the tribe gets a big kill and everyone eats; just because they're part of the tribe and not because of the work they do.

I understand your arguments of going above and beyond that, having much more than UBI - however, as you can see in this thread, even that level is quite contentious, a large jump from the current situation and not guaranteed to happen. Going beyond that is, obviously, even less likely to happen. If/when we'll see a realistic support for UBI, then we may start discussing about maybe implementing what you state, right now it's just wishful thinking.

If you can, internally, handle adding together multiple data sources you'll win in the academic space with something like this. Especially if you can choose a Python syntax for the "code" portion.

In scientific spaces you have many data sources that all mean completely different things. They are all recorded in different coordinate spaces (mag, distances, polar, etc) and you want to plot many of these things into the same plot and have them go where they were meant to be.

If you could generate 3D plots as well just by flipping a switch that would be a huge plus. The hard part is that we have many modeling softwares that are written in strange ways and in strange formats. One example of a very popular model with a difficult interface is the IRI (http://irimodel.org/). If you could just link a node of "IRI" into "Earth Plot" then that would be awesome.
Hi! We write almost everything in Haskell.
By the way, Num in IO in IO is completely ok function signature - it means that you have a function that uses IO to optain a function which will return a number while performing another IO action :) However it is completely ok in Luna for the end user to type it simpler, like `a :: Num` and the compiler will keep track of all "monad transformers" under the hood.
It looks like it just goes low-poly, all triangles as is pretty normal. Then maybe links some of the triangles together, ultimately telling you how many paper triangles how many different sizes to make.
I'm still a n00b, but I found the errors to be obscure. Often times, I couldn't even get an error to display when I _knew_ something was wrong. After I fixed that error, the app would show up again.

NO! There is now a pay wall for me to view the videos! $5 or more more a month donation levels.

Is this nation wide or only for my local area?
The reasoning seems pretty straightforward. Uber is only cheaper than taxis because investors are subsidizing the operating costs. They won't be able to do that forever and become a viable business, and there isn't a very high barrier to entry for competitors even if they somehow manage to snuff out all other traditional cab operators and Lyft etc, because once they raise the prices new competitors can swoop in.
Is this intended for a general purpose programming?
On the face of it there is no difference. Uber's reasoning seems to be that even if the driver is the same as a minicab that's nothing to do with Uber. All they claim to do is connect drivers with passengers in a convenient app. They say they're no more liable for the legality of the ride as the phone company is if you call a cab company that isn't compliant with the law.

Many people disagree.

I think this stems in part from the "oh I'm so bad at math" culture we have in the US, where its almost expected that most kids won't be good at mathematics. The side effect of this, imo, is that fields that are close to math or dependent on it (physics, stats, CS, etc.) pick up a piece of that stigma and idea that its acceptable to be bad at these things.

I've seen occasional articles about quants on wall street and how a good number of them are Russian/Eastern European (this kind of thing - https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-01-21/how-russi... ) and I feel this is another directly related element - having a strong math culture allows you to have a strong CS culture.

I've been happy to see that in the last decade, the US is starting to start bringing the pieces we need to get that kind of culture back - the popularity of startups and programming with the media that bring them to the attention of the average person. Space is cool again, and movies like "The Martian" are, imo, absolutely critical in making science/engineering something worth striving for. Hopefully we'll see some of this trickle down to our educational systems in the near future.

I don't believe this non-equitable business model holds true when automated vehicles become an option. That is, I don't think Uber itself has a viable business model because they've sunk too much cash too quickly to be around long enough for it to be a great model.

However whomever has a fleet of automated vehicles could easily divert resources into an uber-like ride sharing app.
Risk appetite of investors and access to such investors matter a lot.

And the US has a few cities with many such investors, which makes it easier to reach many in a short duration.

What I found after Googling is that there is a theorem by Sierpinski which shows that if we make an additional assumption about the cardinality of [R]^\omega, which seems to be approximately the same as the boolean prime ideal axiom, then there is a non-measurable set. Thus the existence of non-measurable sets is implied by principles weaker than full choice, but that's not too surprising.

The case of measure theory is particularly interesting, though, since you don't even need to change your underlying logic to get a better model. For instance, if you base your "measure theory" on valuations on locales instead of measures on sigma algebras then the theory itself becomes simpler and the Banach-Tarski "paradox" goes away.

Briefly, in locale theory, your "measure" is defined on sublocales instead of subsets. While there are more sublocales than subsets, the condition for when two sublocales are disjoint is stronger. This is what breaks the Banach-Tarski construction. The orbit subsets used in Banach-Tarski still exist, but while they are disjoint as sets, they are not disjoint as sublocales and thus don't decompose the volume of the sphere.

I wonder if this isn't "harassment", exactly. It sounds like they've learned that they can collect a whole lot of fish for not much effort. The fact that doing so ruins the fishing is a side effect.

I heard about a similar thing with bears in Yosemite. They had a back-country steak fry. They had 700 steaks there. A couple of bears (mother and adolescent cub) showed up. The people scattered. The bears ignored the people, because they had found 700 steaks. They put the mother down, and transplanted the cub several hundred miles away. The next summer, the cub - now an adult - showed up for the steak fry.

Those bears weren't trying to "harass" the steak fry. They didn't have anything against such a gathering. They just learned, "Hey, free food".

Egypt blocks over 100 websites
The same could be said for Google.
This feature is a bit of a misnomer, as it immediately brings up discussions about category theory. That being said, the idea behind it is pretty simple, yet powerful. Our typechecker will be able to track the shape of data on a deeper level than usual types. Basically will be tracking the exact constructors used to construct data, not just types – something that is a huge pain in most existing typed languages. If you for example take Haskell, you can have a data type with multiple different constructors, and even though you may be certain that some of those are impossible to occur at some points in your program, it is difficult to express that certainty on typelevel – other than repacking to a different datatype, with less constructors, which then need to be named differently and need repacking even if you're just calling a function that expects a wider range of constructors, and thus is definitely safe.
However, due to the amount of work with more foundational layers of the language, we've had to postpone implementing this feature until further down the line. It is coming at some point for sure, though :)
