Your method would destroy society. Women would make the choice for who the father would be and would choose only top tier traits, leaving out a vast majority of males. Men would either have no reason to be productive members of society or would become violent.

Marriage came to be as a way to essentially harness productivity by eliminating most conflict over mates.

I'm agnostic but I still think religion as an institution is important because it binds a society together under shared beliefs. People are different colors, genders, etc but religion can be used to bind it together.

Sadly, the EU system has a method for the US to shoot it down, as the US said they’d pre-emptively shoot down all satellites we put up unless we build such a backdoor (especially due to the chinese partnership in Galileo).

Now we have a system where the chinese stopped being a partner, and the US forced us to add a backdoor and reduce the quality. I’m not sure I can see anything good in this.

The Ultimate Feedback Loop: Delighting Users with Behavior-Based Messaging
The people who have to change their code to accept the changes lose.

For Django the change was much simpler because it was mostly a docs/tests change. However, here, we'd have to change Redis' API (or include more than one way to do the same thing).

Raising the point is fine. Discussion is important. But making the change, in this case, has some clear downsides that antirez has carefully weighed against the pros.
Worth pointing out that it was not GFW which performed the man-in-the-middle, it was a separate system: https://citizenlab.ca/2015/04/chinas-great-cannon/
"Slave" is technically incorrect. There are better terms to describe the behavior such as "follower" or "replica".

If someone has been around long enough to understand what a "slave" is can't figure out what a "replica" or a "follower" does, maybe they shouldn't be in tech. The transition cost for documentation is essentially zero.

Naming things is hard, and better names are better for everyone. Antirez said he would change the name if he could start over, hence the hill you're dying on is not shared by the author of the library you're posting on.

Edit: For clarity of argument.

I have no issue with them moving to a subscription model and encouraging it. I want to see the company sustain itself, which is a lot harder to do with one-time license purchases.

I think the main issue here is that it doesn't sound like using 1Password via the web browser is a good idea. It also doesn't seem like the onboarding process makes it as clear as it should that your passwords are going up into the cloud instead of only being stored locally (even if the crypto is fine).

We shouldn't be surprised that most emerging economies have gone from high protectionism to low because they started from a position with high protectionism, and lowered it under advice and pressure from the first world--with very good results. Meanwhile, many countries in South America and Africa are doing things the protectionist way, with very poor results.

Great advice! This is somewhat similar to what I observe about the things that people "want" to do but give up on easily as well. A good example is to go to the gym. Just because one's workout is an-hour long one has to give up on the gym if one has 50 mins. It takes time to form good habits. I always say "go to the gym even if it's for a 20-min workout today because tomorrow it'll be easier to go".
Agreed! I have a hard time knowing what language to use. I think I'm going to try to use the term machine learning more. It seems many people use A.I. to refer to a self aware/skynet level of intelligence.

It seems a bit silly for nearly all of the scripts to first ping Google before doing anything. It seems to want to check if internet is available (by GETing Google) before doing anything else. It performs this check using nc, however it also depends on either wget, curl or fetch for the actual HTTP requests.

I'd just drop the ping to google entirely. If wget/curl/fetch fail, so be it. No need to introduce additional slowness for the small chance internet isn't working.
That's a popular opinion. And it's something that people have a demonstrated willingness to pay for.

It does make it into a solitary experience. And I think there's also the question of whether people would really want to be that immersed for a 2+ hour game.

If at least one thing is wrong, slavery is wrong?
I am not. However, I know several people in agtech who have stable businesses.

None of the startups are using off-the-shelf photography drones though. Those drones are nice if you've got a lot of money and need a lot of otherwise-impossible dolly and helicopter shots.

Consider that a small drone with a 7m battery life and a rasppi core capable of LOS operation within a mile of base station can cost less than $250/unit. For one that can carry more weight with similar characteristics? $500.

Medium size drones can spot-spray crops, survey property, and provide survey overviews for a fraction of the cost of competing solutions once the software has been amortized. If your operators are experts or trained, the cost goes down further.

For me, I use recreational fpv rigs on high performance-to-weight drones to race and freestyle. It's amazing and it's inexpensive and it's fun.

I'm not sure if you're trying to make a joke. In any case, quotes such as this are ill-suited for learning formal logic, because they rely on a lot more than their literal meaning.

In this case, you cannot see the statement as being about boolean true/false values. It only works on an ordinal scale, and our calibration of the cutoff for "wrongness". Slavery here is assumed axiomatically to be "really really bad". In fact, among all the bad things, it is the worst. But is it wrong? That depends on how bad something must be to be wrong. But if you do not consider slavery to be wrong, but merely bad, nothing can be wrong, because everything is less bad than slavery.

So this is basically Lincoln trying to argue for AUC as a better metric than sensitivity/specificity.
>Interest rates have been dropped into the ground, and it hasn't increased investment(growth). We have the highest savings in the history of capitalism and the lowest level of investment.

Savings _rates_ in the US are actually low by historical standards: https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/personal-savings (click the 'MAX' timespan toggle). Low interest rates discourage savings and encourage borrowing. One of the fundamentals of economics is that all other things being equal, in the long term savings is needed for growth: if we consume everything we produce, then nothing remains to be invested, so productivity won't increase. If we save more, then we have more to invest, and this greater investment will increase productivity more.

The key thing to note here is that it is investment of forgone consumption that produces value (at a simple level, compare saving some wheat seeds to plant next season vs eating them all as flour). Lowering interest rates, printing money and similar things don't achieve this: they can create _money_, but not necessarily value. What they can do is increase demand, to address temporary shortfalls in demand, which under a popular form of economic reasoning will produce more growth than letting demand slump. That demand-boosting approach is however meant to be used as an immediate solution to a temporary slump, not an ongoing thing, as few economists deny a long term positive relationship between savings rates and growth.

There've actually been attempts to model what the ideal savings rate would be: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule_savings_rate. Such models seem to have little influence on interest rate policy, however.
Since the blog is run by someone who uses Japanese in their name and profile, I'm considering whether I should be a little more charitable and maybe call it a result of poor translation.

Most of the stuff in the article that looks like bias to Western readers, in fact, could sound perfectly reasonable to Japanese readers for whom it might have originally been written. Japanese society is incredibly conservative when it comes to family norms.
Ha, I'm one of those techies you're talking about. Spent an embarrassing amount on camera gear, and I'm always "that guy" with the ridiculous rig at someone's casual party.

But you know what? I love this shit. I like photography for the good photos, not because I'm building my self esteem on top of it. I want to capture the scene or the moment in a way that, IMO, does it justice. If this technology makes that easier, and gives it to more people - great. Progress.

And what I really love is how it subtracts a huge amount from the price of entry. It's like when software synths came out and made it possible to make music without $10k+ worth of MIDI hardware. What followed? An explosion of creativity which I've been luxuriating in ever since. Get the ability to create beautiful images in as many hands as possible, says I. For me, at least, "more beautiful images in the world" was the whole idea.

Okay then, be mad that "slave" isn't a technically correct term either. "replica" or "follower" both describe the behavior much better.

Technical correctness is a fight worth having. Human decency is a nice side effect.

That's not how words work.

Fair enough, but I don't see how they could run a loss on a hardware business for a decade without raising capital. More likely it's got standard ecommerce margins, blended with higher margin from their own product line.
We're subscribed to the same newsfeeds. In addition, I only look at hacker news through the weekly newsletter, in order to avoid the dopamine addiction of checking multiple times a day.

As for the The Economist, I've found that they always gives a great dose of history and context to their articles, which is what I would be searching for in reddit anyway, so I've found reddit to be a lot less useful nowadays.

This all depends on what "the job" being done well enough is. You can't use a research paper to refute the experience of the many programmers who successfully use for loops to get their work done. That's a statement about usability, not expressiveness.

If you want to show something else is easier to use, you'd have to do a user study, and even that's not going to be universally applicable since it depends on the previous experiences of the user population being tested. It's why these things tends to be debated as a matter of taste.

People are and have never been squeamish about killing. They just don't like to witness gore in their own backyards while they are enjoying brunch with their families. Concentration camps eliminate the inconvenience of having your day ruined by unsightly executions by moving the fate of undesirables out of your sight.

And regarding Mongols, most of what you learn from history is greatly exaggerated. Mongols fought to conquer and the cheapest way to conquer is to intimidate the enemy. It was in their interest to spread terror through stories of murder and brutality and it was in the interest of their victims to spread the same stories to elicit sympathy.

Actually, you mean "pensions are defined in the US" aren't portable.

Employer and pension are not tied together in a great deal of countries - for example: state-controlled. So even if you switch jobs, the plan remains the same. (Also relevant is that most countries have a single state, so state-controlled means you can actually move anywhere inside the country and keep the same plan).
We did something very similar for our kids. We should have seen that our son was not interested in college but rather was interested in working with his hands by learning a trade. By the time our daughter was leaving college and preparing for graduate school we approached him with an opportunity. We would provide the startup capital for him to open his own business if that was still something he wanted to do because he had over a few years become a skilled tradesman and he learned the business side of his trade. He has now been running his own business for 9 years and his hard work and Drive provides a very decent income for his family and jobs for 22 employees.

Rather than expecting him to do as I had done instead I gave up public service, executive management when the entrepreneurial bug bit me hard! My degrees have helped me tremendously but I also know that I could have gained that same knowledge in the trenches.

I respect giving your children options and the love and support they need to follow their dreams.

>Our civilization -- the actual web of relationships and institutions that keep the lights on -- is clearly doing fine.

Given even a passing look at just the last 2 decades, and the serious prospects for massive social unrest going forward both in the States and in Europe, which often get discussed here, how in the world can you say that. "The World" (since you apparently are one of those who think the term "Western Civilization" is racist), in my judgement, is looking at the most global security risk since the lead up to WWI. There's well documented demographic shifts in Europe that could lead to a fundamental cultural re-imaging of the continent. We might be careening into another financial crisis.

No, it is not "clearly doing fine."
