What's easy to read is news articles that are based on scientific papers.

The reason they are so easy to read is that the journalists tend to simplify and generalize the results to such an abstract level that the 'research' they present in their article bares only passing resemblance to the actual research presented in the actual paper. And that's assuming a best case scenario where they don't simply misunderstand the whole thing.

All that being said, I agree that most papers could do with a good copy editor. Fortunately there are hundreds of freelancers willing and able to do that and many universities even have someone on staff or retainer that can help out.
Hey! This thread keeps popping up! Yay :D

In another thread someone recommended me vimtutor isntead of this game. I played both, and for learning I like vimtutor much more.

To people who don't know vimtutor allow me to explain :)

Vim Adventures still gave me the feeling that vim takes 5+ years to learn and you need to be crazy dedicated and good to understand vim. That's not the fault of Vim Adventures, that's the fault of the folklore that surrounds vim (e.g. http://www.terminally-incoherent.com/blog/wp-content/uploads... )

30 minutes of vimtutor and I felt that I had "basic vim skills" and that I "could manage myself in a vim editor." I thought it would take 2 years to get these skills. In other words, if you feel you have realistic expectations about how hard it is to learn vim, try vimtutor!

That said this is a fun game!
Of course. But all that effort pales in comparison to trying to persuade manufacturers and carriers to opt for an unproven OS with barely a reference implementation, as well as actually developing such OS.
I agree with your reversed statement. The company needs to be loyal to it's employees too.

But in my opinion, some principles should not depend on how the other side acts:

"If my company is not loyal to me, it's my right to deceive them as well."

-> No, I will stick to my principles. I might bring it up to management. I might quit. But I won't act destructively because the other side does.

Otherwise it's a downwards spiral:
you will meet many toxic people in your life. If you lower your standards everytime you do, at some point you will be one of them.

It may have escaped your notice that sidewalks like these don't exist outside of children's playgrounds, yet children successfully use sidewalks safely worldwide. The same can be true of bike tracks - have you not seen any videos of what has been achieved in the Netherlands?
Yes, that's the definition.

The problem is the amount. Going by this page[1], there's a net production of less than 30 million dollars per day. Let's round up to 11 billion per year. The M2 estimate[2] of US money supply is 13495 billion dollars. That's a seigniorage tax of less than a tenth of a percent per year. It's also less than a tenth of a percent of US GDP alone.

For storing json? There are some, though for that purpose Mongo provides great combination of features and usability, where using relational database for that feels like fitting square peg in round hole, and usability of sql for processing this type of data sucks. For storing json at scale exceeding capacity of single server? Not that many.
No it does not implies that. You are mixing your personal values with what I said, there's no direct implication. It could be considered unethical in a situation where there's a equal ground of absolute trust and exchange of goods and information, but that never happens between an employee and an employer in a capitalist society. In this situation, the employee is only taking advantage of the economic value he can obtain of this information asymmetry, something his employer also does. So they are both in equal moral grounds and both are trying to make surplus in a society that seeks surplus. He is not unethical in itself, the same way as someone that consumes a product is not necessarily unethical, but the system that produces the product is.
> You learned that people value effort over results.

People still value results, but they expect the price of things to be vaguely related to the cost of materials + time + small profit margin.

And in an efficient competitive market, prices are related to costs. If there were 5 identical providers of "web page updates", then the maximum you can charge would end up close to how much of your time it takes to run the script, and the customer would get to keep the surplus value.

If you are in a position to get away with value-based pricing, then you have to be careful to keep your costs secret, because otherwise you make people irrationally angry about being ripped off.
Just curious: which physics subfield is that?

Perhaps my previous comment was overly optimistic, as both Journal of High Energy Physics and the Nature family are published by Springer nowadays.
Not exactly as well. It's more of robbing a thief back a percentage of what a thief stole from you. aka. the surplus value.
there's raw SQL, there are ORM and then there's the mid layer of DSL-ish query builders like sqlalchemy.core, which are amazing if you've ever been dissapointed by not being able to compose queries in a sane way in SQL.
- GCM unlike CBC is an AEAD mode (has a MAC build-in)

- CBC needs padding, which when misused can lead to padding oracle attacks

- GCM allows for parallel encryption

There are more modern, faster and better ciphers that are designed to not be vulnerable against many side-channel attacks that AES is difficult to protect against.

Something like this has existed since league of nations days. The model appears to be a convention which individual states accept and pass into their national laws, and then a tribunal to adjudicate on disputes about the terms of the convention - so the tribunal only sees a small number of cases. Not routine stuff.

This page lists some of the adjudications.
O'Reilly have always been pretty transparent with their readers; I'm sure if they'd come clean on this people would have given them the benefit of the doubt.

Trying to cover a supplier issue with bullcrap about "market trends" is not great; doing it from one day to the next is just terrible for customer relationships.

The problem here is that Nazi Germany also disallowed people to "speak their mind".

So if you say free speech caused Nazi Germany, I might as well say: Lack of free speech let Nazi Germany (and even more so the Holocaust) go on for such a long time.

So is limiting free speech really the solution? I think we're setting a dangerous precedent.
Well that's the point. The society is trained to think that if something can be automated, the people laid off can starve.

An old article, but still somewhat relevant I think:

"ORM is the Vietnam of Computer Science" (2006)

Why is property on the blockchain nonsensical?
Ask HN: What do you think is missing from the current JAMStack landscape?
Tooling wise we have a lot of awesome tools in the JAMStack space. What are the things that you feel are missing?
Interesting. How much do you charge per book sold (e.g., as a percentage of the list price)? Also, do you collect consumer taxes for the EU (and other countries that require them)?
What happened to the ORM?

To my opinion, it was a bad solution to the wrong problem.

For one, we're not that enamoured with objects anymore (what with functional programming, immutability, etc).

Second, SQL and DDL, being declarative, is both a higher abstraction that (at least) most ORMs, and offers more fine level control to the DB at the same time!

Third, people don't really switch databases that often, for the abstraction between different SQL syntaxes to matter.
"The original article – now amended and associated with the conclusions of this review – led to follow-up coverage, some of which sustained the wrong impression given at the outset. The most serious inaccuracy was a claim that WhatsApp had a “backdoor”, an intentional, secret way for third parties to read supposedly private messages. This claim was withdrawn within eight hours of initial publication online, but withdrawn incompletely. The story retained material predicated on the existence of a backdoor, including strongly expressed concerns about threats to freedom, betrayal of trust and benefits for governments which surveil. In effect, having dialled back the cause for alarm, the Guardian failed to dial back expressions of alarm."

Guide to Keeping Your Customers: 24 Customer Retention Strategies
No, the situation is different in Germany. You are not allowed to work under a visa waiver. The permit is something you personally apply for and not the company. Some time ago the permits regulating work and stay were unified so you only get issued one thing that contains everything. Some residence titles give you access to the whole labour market, some are coupled to a specific job, some don't allow you to work at all.

There is a special exemption for US citizens (and some others) which allows them to apply for a residence permit after entering Germany on a waiver. Until it is granted, no work is allowed.

The question though is whether "visiting clients" actually constitutes work. Just negotiating contracts does not, actually performing work there is (duh).
I would see it this way: I would offer to give that person more responsibility and more and perhaps more complex work. He could decide to perform as before and keep browsing reddit but if they choose to take more work that's likely the best path upward in the organization. Eventually the one who chooses no. 2 gets a promotion and gets paid more.
It's a lot less costly to transfer money with a distributed blockchain, to give you just one counter example.
I realize that you were trying to be condescending, and you did a good job of it. However, Google has rewarded this site in particular with staggeringly high search rankings, which makes things especially sticky for the victims of the site. They have been on notice about this site and others like it for almost the entire time that they have existed [1], and have actively refused to even adjust their rankings - despite clear evidence that these sites are committing extortion. So yes, Google is aiding in the commission of the crime of extortion.

If I were to file a complaint on the site about how someone named "djrogers" is a condescending jerk on HN that broke into my house and stole my wallet, that complaint would be posted on the site within minutes with no fact checking, and then Google would rank it almost instantly at the top of their results for "djrogers". One day you might Google your username and see this complaint in the #1 position, and you would probably contact the site saying that this is absolutely false. The site's owner, Ed Magedson, would personally respond essentially saying that he has been sued many times, that he has always won, and that the report isn't going anywhere...unless you pay thousands of dollars (allegedly the fees go to "investigate" the veracity of the claims in the report, after which it will be amended or removed if found to be entirely false - but only if you pay). He will make extensive reference specifically to how well his site ranks in Google, with the implied threat that if you do not pay, anyone who Googles your name will see this defamatory information (which they will).

When you know that you are assisting in the commission of a crime, you are aiding and abetting.

i have to certainly agree. the article itself was a thing of beauty, so poignant as to be a work of art in and of itself. the suffering that individuals experience with alzheimers is a great sorrow in this world, and it's always so awful to hear of it, but yet it fed such a powerful expression and brought so many disparate people together in the HN comments section for the article to express such beauty and vulnerability with regards to their own suffering and experiences in life related to the topic at hand. i am fairly stingy with up votes too but I think just about everything said here deserves one as well :)

ERC20 tokens increase the value of the Ethereum platform. The more tokens on Ethereum, the more opportunities for interoperation, which increases the utility of all tokens (see Metcalfe's Law).

Moreover, it increases the value of ether by increasing demand for blockchain computations.

Thanks for the reference ,but I read your earlier comment

here's the issue when picking reactjs vs others (like vuejs)

Choice A. by picking reactjs I'm in a clear violation of FB patents, but I'm covered as long I don't sue FB.

Choice B. by picking others (like vuejs), I may or may not be violating FB patents, (virtualDOM has some prior art, as some people claim)

why it's so hard for people to understand that "May or Maynot" is a better choice of "definitely" violating FB patents in case I need to sue FB if they are killing my business by copying my patents.

I know that suing for patents is not best business model. But, having that weapon (even defensively) is better than not having one.

still people downvote for gray areas?
>> Things like SQLAlchemy generate downright horrific SQL slowing everything to a crawl and causing deadlocks.

Not my experience... Would you care to explain ? SQLA works pretty well for me, as long as I stay in rather simple queries. For example, data analysis queries are next to impossible to express with SQLA, but that doesn't matter much.

For the simple update queries, it just works fine for me. It also allows for very good control on relationships, etc.
SQL is getting better though, see

I am curious to know what types of "big big risk" POS presents. As far as I can tell, there are several POS cryptocurrencies today and they seem to work fine. The Ethereum team claims to modify their POS approach to avoid known issues like the 'nothing at stake' problem. But it would be interesting to know what other possible risks you're talking about.

Servers might not be just for serving. Facebook likely have huge clusters for offline computation/analytics/machine learning stuff. In order to process the logs at their scale, I won't be surprised if they have hadoop cluster that scales over several thousand even 10k nodes, or multiple clusters.
I never seen orm as abstracting database out. More like easier to maintain way to access it and have features like caching/consistency available without much work.
It could be that most haters are simply using the wrong one? If JPA was my sole experience with ORM I would side with the haters as well, fortunately I built enough successful projects using DBIx::Class and SQLAlchemy to understand the advantages of using an ORM to the point that I refuse working without one.
> How would you even trust such results?

If those results are universal (meaning they are evident in all locations regardless of the location's history), then its likely extremely true.

Another way is to simply use your eyes, ears, and common sense.
Well that would be my favourite conspiracy ever, considering the people running it must be the most incompetent evil scheming overlords ever.

If they're running an "unregulated extrajudicial campaign against public awareness", it is a spectacular failure, considering Monsanto is among the most-hated companies on the planet. Can we somehow get them hired by Syria's government?
Neither of those links imply ether will lose its role as input for gas payment. It simply lets ether be used by contracts in the same way tokens are, which allows for greater abstraction of ether transactions.

To really understand cryptocurrencies, you must understand Bitcoin. Not just its inner workings but where it came from and how it became what it is today.

The rest of the cryptocurrencies are only hoping to gain Bitcoin's popularity (which Ethereum is getting close to) that it maintained for nearly a decade.

Back in the day the following links helped me understand bitcoin:

http://www.michaelnielsen.org/ddi/how-the-bitcoin-protocol-a...

http://www.imponderablethings.com/2013/07/how-bitcoin-works-...

Once you properly understand bitcoin you are ready to understand other cryptocurrencies pretty easily. If some design choices don't make sense (secp256k1), then remember that Bitcoin's creation was close to when someone was caught doing something[1]. This is the answer to why many cryptocurrencies choose non-standard algorithms (aka. not NIST)

Shotput (YC S15) is hiring a roboticist to build automated warehouses in Oakland
WHAT WE'RE BUILDING
One of the first fully automated micro-warehouses: dcvelocity.com/articles/20170610-micro-warehouses-bring-fulfillment-closer-to-customer/ and have a strong robotics lead from Megabots helping us design & build the product.

WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR
Another roboticist to help us accelerate the progress as we have a lot to build and an aggressive timeline.

Must have skills:
+ Working with robotic arms especially Universal Robots
+ Can hack together a Raspberry Pi demo to hijack control systems
+ Understanding of how each of our components actually work (conveyor belts, robotic arms, vending machines)
+ Putting together cost of materials spreadsheet (not very hard but surprising how many engineers eschew this practice)
+ Establish rough timelines and provide clarity around parts of the system that are least understood i.e. highest-risk
+ Communicate project scope and timeline risks as project progresses especially with new feature requests

Culture:
+ We like candid, direct conversations though we dislike arrogance
+ We favor work ethic over intelligence though you need to know what you're talking about
+ We call out BS and dislike spin so call out bad news first
+ We like people who can discover solutions rather than need marching orders
+ Someone who can handle a heterogenous work environment without imposing arbitrary social hierarchies meaning people who look, act, and think different while sharing the same vision

IMMEDIATE IMPACT:
Currently, we have people from companies including most top e-commerce and physical retailer visiting us when we launch this system. Additionally, there's a pending deal to jointly develop tens of thousands of units over the next two years. We're interested in people who can build something fast with an eye toward manufacturability.
