Ask HN: How realistic are the fears coming from the NN 'day of action' crowd?
Fears like: packaged internet, or throttling specific sites that didn't pay a fee.

I don't know very much about routing, so I thought I's ask HN for it's opinion.

I largely agree with you, except

> he has a lot to gain by looking like a crazy, unstable dictator who could start a war any day: North Korea is the master of this mode of "crazy diplomacy".

I agree that KJU is acting and he is doing it for self-preservation reasons, but we also have a president that seems to want to try and play the same "unstable, wildcard" foreign policy.

> America does not like having such a "rogue" nation with a nuclear missile that can hit San Francisco

I'm not sure red states would mind that much if San Francisco were gone.
It think it was more that the author is a supporter of real capitalism where you actually have to possess a conscience. But I think the population has a whole has abandoned this notion either out of ignorance or apathy. This is my lament for the current and future state of capitalism.

I don't know who this analysis is aimed at but I would advise caution in trying to apply it.

My main criticisms of the article are that it: (1) ignores modern wi-fi mesh technology; (2) oversimplifies "solutions" to the point of false equivalencies; (3) ignores performance and convenience concerns; (4) uses vague language ("it works"); and (5) treats "wi-fi" as a black box that operates in a vacuum and is not amenable to tuning (channels, power levels, freq's, etc.).

Ironically, the author's "buddy wi-fi" proposal embodies a subset of the capabilities of a current consumer mesh setup such as the Amplifi product that I use in my 3-story home.
My experience is rather different. I've done some benchmarks. A basic Java app written with performance in mind (read: control gc and use high-performance libs like Chronicle[1]) will absolutely blow Erlang away. It's not even close. The JVM is so much faster than the Erlang VM that when you graph the results it's almost comical. And at the end of the day it's much easier to hire Java ninjas, especially in finance.

Still, I encourage people, especially startups, to make big bets on strange "new" technologies. Somebody has to do it and many conservative firms these days won't consider anything but the JVM these days.

Heh. You can cite all the old wives' tales, superstitious folklore, and education research papers you want. None of that makes it more likely that a 95 IQ student will ever understand precalculus.
We could make starshades today if we made it a priority. It would take a shade roughly only about 0.09% the size of the cross-section of the Earth to change the climate as much as all of our CO2 emissions. That's only a roughly 200km in radius shade. If we were spending, say, a trillion dollars a year (1.3% of global GDP, a sum less than what is spent on many other things) we could almost certainly build and launch such a structure in at most a few decades.

Similarly to your seemingly effective quick nip in the butt, when it comes to the other end of the spectrum where you're the one who has a problem I've always found that being open, sincere, and forward quickly tends to be the best solution.

Whether it's something as simple as someone humming at their chair in an open office layout or something a bit more complex such as you and your neighbors situation, presenting how feel in a clear and less emotional way always works out better than bottling up your feelings until one party blows up. People, for their part, seem to be genuinely reasonable and understanding when given the opportunity.

Please take a look at the contributions in the paper at the end of the introduction. The JVM uses operating system abstractions (like a file system, threads, and synchronous APIs) that were non-existent in the browser when the paper were published, and are still widely unavailable natively. Figuring out how to construct the functionality necessary not to just simply execute Java bytecode but to provide a full Java Virtual Machine, and then show how this could be generalized beyond a JVM, is a CS contribution. Disclosure: I'm a labmate of the author.

I was not talking about the job opportunities per se, just commented how in just about two years Elixir surpassed Erlang in its own niche. Just goes to say how an alien(prolog like) language syntax can really cripple the spread of state of the art technology. Thats why we never going to see Scala or Clojure be more popular than Java on JVM or Elm/Purescript/etc in browser. Because java and js are tolerable and have familiar Algol syntax... Not to mention that it can be said that most of the alternatives I have listed have unusual syntax.

I now have a question about the original account: did the lawyers / legal firm in question:

1. still represent their client (the vegan protestors) with the same utmost care that one would expect in hiring any legal team?

2. politely close the contractual obligation to represent and refund some or all of their fees?

3. just did a poor job of representation after this incident , but still bill the same hours and other fees?

Edited to correct formatting
Erlang's core reason for existence is to control telephone switches, which had two independent general purpose computers connected to the physical switch. So reliability, redundancy, recovery, and fault isolation were the core needs; that drove the design for isolated processes with message passing between them. Because Erlang was in the control plane, and only managing the signal path, not passing the signals itself, there wasn't a big need for speed, as long as it wasn't too slow

Fast forward several years, and isolated processes turns out to be a great fit for large SMP systems, and Erlang/beam is now doing signal path work in a lot of places. Erlang tends not to put explicit limits, but some techniques are going to fail at large scale; ex: if you have 50,000 processes across many nodes, sending the same message to each of those processes is going to be slow; sending one message to each node and fanning out from there is going to be faster; in no small part because you've reduced the network bandwidth you're using.

The nice thing when you hit Erlang scaling limits is that almost everything you need to fix is going to be in a pretty simple state. You're not going to find many things that are layers of optimizations on top of hacks on top of optimizations --- they do a good job of keeping things simple, and not optimizing until it's needed (and even then, they usually pick simple optimizations). Keeping things simple goes a really long way (especially with today's enormous servers).

Edited to add: I don't think they've even needed to tweak the vm yet either, just their user space code. That's pretty huge too.
I don't think that's the problem for metrics. Exometer is the go-to Erlang library, but its dependencies are a nightmare (e.g. https://github.com/Feuerlabs/exometer/issues/154 or https://github.com/Feuerlabs/exometer#dependency-management), it's essentially unmaintained, and integrating it with Ecto or Phoenix is roll-your-own. I think there is very much a need for a more modern library that plays nicely with Hex.
GCP supports this already: https://cloud.google.com/dotnet/
You'd probably be better off with something like a casio fx-115es plus (non graphing scientific calculator). For example: You'd have to remember your integration tables better on not rely on the graphing functions to pull you out of the bog.

This is cool. Not because it's useful or performant etc. but because it shows how simple java bytecode is.

After seeing this I wanted to know:

- how many opcodes exist in the JVM

- how easy would it be to create another language that compiles to the JVM.

- how does the JVM represent basic data types

The list goes on. All because someone built a JVM in JS.

Why on earth does the ATO need to "exploit technologies like other agencies do"?

Inter-departmental coordination is a lot better of an idea than growing scope and creating problems when different departments decide they can't trust each other.

We have an intelligence agency with broad sweeping powers, given by broad warrants. ASIO.

We also have another group who operate within borders with similar powers, the Federal Police.

So why does the tax office need to operate with similar powers, but less oversight?
My posts, among all the posts sharing some similar views on this topic -- not just in this thread but in many other threads on this topic as well -- are not the only ones that have been downvoted multiple times -- from a purely statistical estimation, this should not be the case...And if you have done some search within the domain of news.ycombinator.com, you could easily find other downvoted instances that have been posted by other commenters, which apparently shows that it is not the case that mine have been "singled out" in that aspect...

I was trying to state my observation on a downvoting pattern and some of my past readings...I am not asserting that the information manipulation here is a sure fact -- to prove that would require some analysis on a global set of data...

But if you only look at one instance, with a small set of data, and make a statement such as "why single you out in particular?", then perhaps you could ask similar questions for any jailed politic dissident in that country, like, "Xiaobo is a criminal; and why single him out in particular?"

I just don't think there is enough evidence here to reasonably kill the doubt that there could be a possibility that certain information has been manipulated for certain government's political ends...
I agree with your comments. But who knows, maybe one day China will decide that it should be a force for good in the world rather than a regional bully.

Ask HN: How to judge a (nonfiction) book before buying it?
I come across books that sound interesting, but always want to check out reviews from people who have read it before me before making the decision to buy it.

What is your process to evaluate if a nonfiction book is worth buying or not?

Do you have a process to evaluate this? Do you have a sequence of things you check, for example, the table of contents, the author's history, etc?

Is there something specific you look for when you buy an e-book?

I talked to an Oracle lawyer a few months ago, and told him their
lawsuit just makes Oracle look bad. The lawyer was dismissive, and
tried to explain how it's silly how people take lawsuits personally,
and talked about how layers _understand_ that lawsuits aren't
personal, and that they are still friends outside the court.

I'm sure a lawyer can "understand" how lawsuits aren't actually
something personal at all, but lawyers really seem to be the _only_
people who "understand" that.

It's not just "consumer drive" versus "enterprise drive". It's also "consumer drive" versus "hyper-scale cloud storage drive". Google used to use consumer drives (and the latter category didn't used to exist) but the world has moved on, and if you are looking for the lowest storage TCO (again, please see Google's "Disks for Data Centers" paper), I'm going to suggest it's a lot more than just using 4T drives.

Hint: you're assuming the only cost is just the raw spindle. You also need to take into account the cost of power, cooling, some portion of the server that the disk is attached to, the cost of the tray, etc., etc., etc. This is all in the "Disks for Data Center" paper, so I'm not giving away any corporate secrets.

Disclaimer: I work at Google and I am a co-author (but only in a very small way) of the "Disks for Data Centers" paper. We have also been at this for a while...
If an investor would rather own 5% of a $20m company than 3.3% of a $30m company, and specifically limits a company's growth to achieve that end, then it's likely someone no founder would want to work with. Make the pie bigger, no?

The real problem with capped notes is that they serve as a proxy for price. If you're going to price it, just price it. But if a note had a floor + cap that served as a min/max range for what everyone felt comfortable with, and then utilize a discount to do the actual work of allowing for uncertainty in the valuation, that would be the setup that best encapsulates the spirit of convertible notes (of course, the devil is always in the details).

I actually have direct experience getting a (I would guess) 95 IQ student to understand precalculus, tutoring for a few months back when I was a high school student ~15 years ago. She got an A, after having had a string of Cs in every prior high school math course, and not being properly fluent with 9th grade algebra at the beginning of the year. [I don’t say this to brag; I expect any competent tutor can achieve the same thing with a typical below-average student if the student is motivated and they get lots of 1-on-1 time.]

However, I can well believe that a 95 IQ student who was dramatically unprepared at the beginning of the year and believes himself to be an irredeemable failure will have a lot of trouble in a standard lecture + homework drills format high school precalculus course taught by a teacher with no time to help him catch up on remedial material at his current level of understanding, give him any special attention, or make the class material engaging enough to give him reason to care. In that context, failure (or scraping by with an undeserved C) is the obvious outcome, but can’t fairly be blamed on the student’s effort during that year or some kind of mental deficiency.

(Personally, I skipped half of precalculus and somewhat wish I had skipped the other half; I found it to be an uninspired grab-bag of disconnected topics, with much too rote a focus.)
This part really resonates with me as well:

"You read all the time, right? We constantly have to read. If you're not someone who picks up a book, you have to read menus, you've got to read traffic signs, you've got to read instructions, you've got to read subtitles -- all sorts of things. But how often do you have to do any sort of complicated problem-solving with mathematics? The average person, not too often."

From this, two deductions:

• Having trouble remembering the quadratic equation formula doesn't mean you're not a "numbers-person."

• To remember your math skills, use them more often.

What I remember from high-school and college was this: I'd take a given math class (say, Algebra I) and learn it reasonably well. Then, summer vacation hits. Next term, taking Algebra II, all the Algebra I stuff is forgotten because, well, who uses Algebra I over their summer vacation? Now, Algebra II is harder than it should be because it builds on the previous stuff. Lather, rinse, repeat.

This is one reason I love Khan Academy so much. You can just pop over there anytime and spend a few minutes going back over stuff at any level, from basic freaking fractions, up through Calculus and Linear Algebra.
