The article is about paradigm shifts in science. Obviously those happen, but not every minority opinion is such a shift. They are notable because they are so very rare.

What do you see as the paradigm shift that turns climate science on its head and proves the consensus wrong?
Those things, while terrible, are separable from their economic progress. Unless you believe that using political dissidents as organ donors helps the economy.
The USA got rich polluting, China also has the right to improve the standard of living of their people. Any measure that isn't per capita is deceiving.

And American companies send high polluting industries to China, so it goes to their account.
Not at all. The "hydrogen" in hydrogen bombs is in deuterium (proton plus a neutron) and tritium (proton plus two neutrons), both isotopes of hydrogen. Deuterium is stable, but tritium is not. Tritium must either be maintained as it decays (into Helium 3) by topping it off or bred in the nuclear explosion itself from lithium capturing a neutron. In either case, the source material is contained in the bomb itself, so you can initiate the bomb anywhere.

Also, the atmosphere contains almost no hydrogen (except a little bit in the form of water vapor).
Yeah is is the reason the only IOT product I own are light bulbs. If they fail it's not that bad.

I definitely wouldn't trust a smart fridge, lock, thermostat, etc...
I put together a modest priced system using quality but not quite "vintage" parts from the 80s (NAD amp, Klipsch heritage, Pioneer tt). It punches well above it's weight and I'd be hard pressed to build a comparable system today without spending 5x the money.

Things really aren't made the way they used to be (for better or worse) and I think that nostalgia is definitely part of vinyl's appeal.
Surely it is applications. When I think about my tech friends and family I can think of few applications of cryptocurrencies that appeal to their needs. When I think of my non-tech friends and family the existing applications are far far inferior to centralized applications that already exist.

Why would my grandmother use bitcoin or any of the other applications built on blockchains? Stability doesn't matter to her. What matters is that there is something that it can do that she wants and current solutions cannot do well. All bitcoin does for her is instantly destroy her money when she inevitably loses her private key.
By all means, make it an upsell. If corporations ar that interested on it (what I doubt, I've never seen the interest), it can even be an expensive upsell.

But why is it shoved into everybody, and impossible to turn off?
This is apache project. 99% of those are on Java/JVM. Also if someone wants to use Rust they can always do so, perhaps, outside Apache umbrella.
"Climate Scientists" did not train their entire life to be climate scientists they come to it from a general background in geology, environmental science or physics with a two-three class "focus" during undergrad, another two to three class focus during grad school and maybe a phd.

Maybe.

Some of them just wound up there because they were the only people in the department with the Fortran chops to get the models working.
The blockchain solves the problem of assignment and transference of property rights. Right now that process in many places is slow, expensive, error prone, and corruption prone. Blockchains completely eliminate that, full stop. Yes, you still need the authorities for enforcement, so obviously blockchains do not create some utopia where everything works perfectly, but they do solve big, real problems.
As far as I can tell Theflightdeal is basically the same service -- a small army of people searches for fares (HOPEFULLY WITH SOME AUTOMATION!), checks whether there are any results whose price is very low relative to historical prices they have logged for that route, and publishes a blog post if the price is very low. They have little blurbs about each destination prewritten so it's very easy to make the blog post once they see a good fare. ("Good deal" is computed either on a cents-per-mile basis or on a low-price-per-segment basis for certain special routes.) Often a human reads through the fare rules (I'm guessing they just use expertflyer, heh) and adds a bit of extra color like booking class, advance purchase restrictions, purchase-by date, etc. to help save people some time. That blog gets money from affiliate revenue (click thru from their blog post and book travel and they often earn a percentage). Very clever, tremendously successful in the niche.

Looker pivoted into doing something similar but with a mobile app (after first trying to do REALLY hard big-data work I think). They seem to perform the same kind of analysis, but with more automation and less reliance on spreadsheet. They use a really interesting input stream (real-time search query results from a GDS -- so, actual booked flights) to alert people when a route they care about is cheap vs typical prices.

Other services exist which do the same thing but for premium-cabin travel; these services tend not to be public facing and try to charge ridiculous prices in part because J/F travel carries a certain cachet and also in part because those deals tend to be considerably more fragile.

There are afaict somewhere like 10-100 of these "deal newsletter" business models doing basically the same work as the deal blogs but trying to make money on subscriptions. Very clever, I definitely respect the hustle.
We use big data and ML for our project. The training happens on a separate machine running Scala, spark and deeplearning4j. This app reads from our database creates the model and then saves it to a network drive. This happens every Sunday night.

The web application reloads the ml model and then makes predictions based on real time data.

There are also plenty of predictions that do not require real time prediction for example inventory levels, sales for next few days etc. In this case we train on the training machine and write the results back to the DB using spark jdbc. The web just displays this data.

We have scaled up pretty well however in the future we will move to Apache Kafka to real time data transfer and prediction
It wasn't meant as a political statement. Instead I was commenting on how the terminology doesn't make sense.

A single payer system would remove a lot of the perverse incentives we have with our current model that prioritizes profits over care.
At risk of a bit more off topic, the active vs. passive engagement is why I brought Scrum into my company. Circulating an Excel file with a list of tasks was the passive approach. Pulling your tag off the backlog and moving it forward was the active approach. I told my skeptical management that the physical act of moving tasks through their status changes would make a difference in engagement and all members of the team said they felt more engaged with the project when we went to Scrum.

There is something to be lost in digitizing our lives, automating our activities and putting it all online. Sure, we gain time to do other things, but it seems we then fritter it away scrolling through facebook feeds, tweets and whatnot.
My general hand-wavy impression is that it was dreamed up by a guy with a PhD and that was it.

I can't help but feel like all of these posts are a bit overly dramatized.

As much as people complain about Angular, I think it's completely fine for the majority of use cases at large scale. So is React. So is Vue. Even Angular 1 is fine. In practice I've never run into most of the issues people preach about. Two way data binding isn't the devil. One way data flow isn't a panacea.

My developer happiness has always been contingent on the quality of my coworkers, and not on the framework itself (all of which, I feel, are great in their own ways.)
Not that it excuses Siri's shortcomings or helps if you're referring to her by name mid-sentence texting to someone else, but you can give assign nicknames in your Contacts app. It might make it less frustrating to dictate texts or start calls. So instead of saying "Call Taryn" and getting it misheard you could say "Call my girlfriend".
That how the conspiracy-minded assume it works because it fits their world view better, but there's little evidence to support it. Insightful finance journalist (and former investment banker) Matt Levine often suggests that the revolving-door incentives are the reverse: Create tough and complicated regulations while you work at the SEC so that a big bank will have to hire you to help navigate those regulations.

Some examples where he has written about this issue:

Out of curiosity, which airlines charge $60 for cabin bag?

The most passenger-squeezing-until-recently airline in Europe (Ryanair) now allows two cabin bags for free (one standard ~55cm bag and one small bag).

Apparently Wizzair charges 10-20€ for "large" (aka regular) cabin bag though, only small ~42 cm bag is allowed for free.
True. Now if only someone would make a vinyl emulation, that would be great.
I rather doubt that. HN has always had an area in the profile to give some info about yourself. Reddit only now has profile stuff in Beta testing.

It may have taken a few cues from Reddit, there are some really substantial differences between the two things.

Personally I've found that the loss of one spatial dimension in the transition from paper to ebook actually makes the book less engaging and more difficult to retain details.

I think (again, my personal experience) that reading while also having a tactile sense of where I am in the book (say ~20% of the way through) makes it easier to remember smaller details; perhaps the physical book helps my brain create a sort of "memory castle" that a little progress bar on an ebook does not.

One example: I read all but the latest Game of Thrones books in paperback (well before the HBO show was even announced). I devoured them and was able to keep track of all the families/storylines without a problem or a second thought. I tried to read the latest one as an ebook and I found I'd have forgotten details of various storylines between reading sessions. I ultimately never finished it and I'm just watching the TV show now :|

Now when I want to read a book, I buy a book - I just can't get into ebooks. Sure, it's not as convenient, but it also doesn't need to be plugged in, ever.
Can you recommend other similar podcasts?
Have you signed up for any of the contests? I think it specifically targets people who entered contests.
Hey, I'm just going to post the same response I used in the IndieHackers comment section for someone with a similar concern. Here's what I said:

"Our subscribers are too important to us to ever sell their information to someone else. We never have and never will sell users information like that. Our only source of income is subscriptions and occasional advertisements in the free emails. Ruining our reputation to make a few extra bucks would be an extremely stupid decision on our end.
With that said, we do run promotions with partners where we give away awesome vacation packages (Mexico and Tokyo recently). If anyone signs up for one of these promotions they are agreeing to the terms and conditions, which clearly state that by signing up for the giveaway the email address will be distributed to all of the partners involved in the giveaway (typically 4-5 other companies)."

And their response:

"Thanks for the reply!
I looked through my emails and found that the emails started right after I entered a giveaway from you. So that explains it! You're right, it does say for the giveaway offer that you're signing up for emails.
Sorry that I jumped to conclusions. It's just that I get a lot of spam and it's very annoying. Also, your partner emails provided no value to me at all."

--

With that said, it looks like we could do a better job making it even more explicit (which we try to do in the emails announcing the giveaway). We'll work on this on our end and never intended to mislead anyone.
A H-bomb is a BYOH (Bring Your Own Hydrogen) device - the weapon includes a helping of deuterium (hydrogen with an extra neutron).

The fusion reaction requires an awful lot of energy to get going, so it basically uses a fission bomb as a detonator.
I would even say that CDs really are somewhat disposable and cheap, they wear down after ~10 years and you often get scratches which cause your tracks to do the endless looping skip-skip-skip. I don't know how many DJ's I've heard play a scratched/skipping track, whereas Vinyl only skips if your tonearm weight is out of whack, the stage is bouncing, you accidentally bump the turntable (drugs are bad, mmmkay), or something physically gets on your record while it's playing. You can even see where e.g. the quiet sections are on your record, a bonus when mixing if you don't/can't memorize your music.

I've been DJing various Techno genres with Vinyl for ~15 years and I've watched the scene shift towards CD and MP3 devices, yet turntables (Technics SL-1200 or thereabouts) are still almost always guaranteed to be at most dance venues (often with CD-DJs hooked up nearby). I also somehow prefer carrying my music around with me, it forces me to pick out ~50 pieces and then lug them behind me to the event, arriving all sweaty and out of breath because that shit's heavy. But it somehow gives me a sense of accomplishment even before I lay down the first record. And I know that my records will play, as long as the mixer isn't totally destroyed.

What I'd like to see is really mostly for them to just keep maintaining Angular 1.x. I don't care about "microlibraries;" I want a sane set of components that work well together, even if they're not all necessarily the absolute best in class.

What you are talking about knowledge base construction. Google does do some of that, in fact. Apple wants to get better, they just bought lattice.io
> The Taiwanese are taking note of what 'one country two systems' means in practice

At the end of the day, what does that matter? There are 1.4 billion who claim taiwan as part of china. Nothing is going to change that. Taiwan can note whatever they want, but at the end of the day, taiwan is going to be a province of china eventually.

A lot of what you wrote is a bit hyperbolic. Taiwan is almost entirely dependent on trade with china. If beijing really wanted to alienate taiwan, they would cut all trade with china and seize all of taiwan's asset in china. That would collapse taiwan overnight.

Also, the chinese don't see taiwan-relations as part of "foreign policy". They see it as a wholy intra-chinese policy.
Your black and white thinking does not reflect the truth. I personally know dozens of people who have turned their lives around as a result of drug court. True, the success rate isn't very high, which is the direct result of the variability of whether each individual possesses the tiny bit of willingness to change, which is essential to the recovery process.
I think you'll get way more traction spending $ on better headphones/speakers/audio playing equipment and listening to digital than moving over to a turntable and vinyl collection.
Sorry, I don't understand how this prioritizes despotic governments over phishing rings. Could you please clarify that?

I think the goal here is two things:

1. Allow organizations that want a trusted execution environment to refuse to boot if the OS is not signed properly, to prevent risk of unapproved software execution.

2. Prevent attackers with physical access to the device from booting an unapproved OS that might be meant to extract encryption keys, or otherwise extract or tamper with data.

These are very specific attack vectors that large enterprise customers are asking for to protect their data from malicious insiders, or just anyone with physical access to the datacenter and bad intentions.

That it might be used to prevent Linux from loading is simply an unintended consequence.
Agree with putting roundtrip on both. Always my biggest annoyance.

Even though I always assume it's RT, I still need to keep that state in my brain.

I'm a Kidwell too btw :).

no, there are hydrogen isotopes in the bomb, deuterium & tritium.

That's not true. Look at insurance clubs in third world countries (funeral insurance clubs in South Africa for example). It's completely unregulated, but people band together to help amortize the cost/risk of rare financially devastating events.

I don't mind AGW at all (it's obvious that human activity influences the climate, and probably the effects of deforestation are as severe as effects from CO2 emissions), but I find CO2-CAGW (i.e. anthropogenic warming caused by CO2 emissions and leading to catastrophic consequences) unconvincing, to a lesser degree due to personal knowledge (uncertainty in clouds feedback, under appreciation of positive effects of higher CO2 concentration etc), and to a higher degree, due to views of Lindzen, Curry, Spencer Dyson, and other scientists.

Yes, Dyson's rhetoric on climate moved a bit towards "alarmist" side, but he still doesn't believe in catastrophic consequences:

"The good news is that the main effect of carbon dioxide … is to make the planet greener, [by] feeding the growth of green plants of all kinds [and] increasing the fertility of farms and fields and forests."

I meant that they might know phrases in French, German, and Spanish more than English, though in the case of Europe English is pretty common.

However, to be fair, in my experience, some people in Europe have hang ups too about different languages. I speak Italian, can pass with a little French, and know no German. In the northern Italian mountains people would start conversations with me in German based on my appearance, and in resort towns there were a number of people who chose not to learn Italian, but English was okay.

Similarly, a friendly lady was trying to help me in a train station in Paris, my French wasn't good enough to understand some detail, her English wasn't any better than my French, and I asked her if she spoke Italian. She curtly answered no, and seemed a little offended.

I imagine I'd have similar stories if I only spoke English and French, English and Spanish, or English and German.

Would people react with occasional distaste if you tried communicating using Cantonese in Beijing?
I wonder if the plan is to eventually split out core controllers into separate modules. For example, the replica set controller could easily be its own thing that ran as a pod; what it does, fundamentally, is ensure that the correct number of pods exists for a specific template.

Kubernetes is, conceptually, MVC. There's a data store of objects that describe what the world should look like, then a bunch of controllers that use this store to continually "converge" and "repair" the world so it looks like the description, plus APIs to perform specific actions such as perform a rollout or undo.

With this new addition, you get closer to erasing the conceptual distinction between "core" Kubernetes and everything else, which is great.
I agree. I felt he was stretching when trying to discredit golds "value".

There is a reason gold is and has been a "hard" currency.
I used Candy Japan for a bit, and I still rather like the articles that they post. I stopped subscribing because I didn't actually eat the candy; now I buy Bento boxes at my local Japanese grocery store, and I have a "Prime Surprise Sweets" Dash Button in my house. But I'd never have been open to the idea of subscription boxes (like the Pusheen Box) if it wasn't for their articles.

Native advertising (where the content is an ad) is increasingly common; just look on YouTube, Instagram, Buzzfeed, or the average newspaper. Done well, it's win-win -- the customer learns about or feels good about a brand or business; the business gets better brand recall or a new customer or whatever. But the root cause is that people are having trouble making money online (banner ads, pre-roll ads, and text ads don't pay what they used to).
We don't need you to be nice, but we do need to post civilly and substantively, and this doesn't cross that bar. We have to ask you again to comment within the guidelines or not at all.

This is completely untrue. "Transactions are added to the new block, prioritized by the highest-fee transactions first and a few other criteria."

You can read more about this https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/35697/what-is-cr..., but the TL;DR is when the txs are broadcast by various nodes, the highest fee txs are included first (for the most part) by the miners.
> I often find that people are in complete agreement in their axioms, but come to different conclusions in real world scenarios - due to flaws in their reasoning or refusal to consistently apply their own reasoning for personal reasons

… or, less cynically, because there's no reason to expect informal, philosophical reasoning from not-necessarily-consistent axioms always to lead to the same result?
