When aptly criticizing another government as authoritarian and harassing a minority, while having their own government doing worse to the said minority, this can be seen by others as:
a) exceptionalism (double standards)
b) cognitive dissonance
c) hypocrisy

There is no higher moral ground on this situation so option c) would be suited. It is great when we strive to get better human rights for everyone, and yet the human rights for the citizens of another country are being threatened by religious extremists.

How the government of this other country replies is really their own business whether we like it or not. Is it a mass violation of human rights? Perhaps. What made them reach such decision? We don't know either. Are we in the west doing any better? No. China is not bombing Syria nor toppling moderate Islamic governments in North Africa.

This bad situation won't charge in our own turf while the majority of netizens think that this only happens in other turfs.
I can't speak as fast as I type, which makes any kind of dictation solution a non-starter.
No different than programmers not owning the rights to what they develop while at work.
Quoting a jewish friend from Europe:

Muslims are the nicest quietest people when they're alone.

Muslims are the vilest people when they're with their group.

I don't like China but Muslims have only plundered and wanted a separate place for them wherever they go.
>Burning through the vast energy and natural resources at our disposal is what has allowed us to "lift" so many people out of poverty. "Proposerity" and "progress" are not a miracle of economic thinking, or technology. We owe all of this to fossil fuels, nothing more, nothing less.

The Soviet Union had equal access to natural resources as America and Western Europe, yet at the time of its collapse it was much poorer, and many former Soviet Union countries still are. Clearly in the short term at least natural resources aren't all that matters.
Using a bookmark manager like diigo might let you save those articles with your own keywords and search on those topics later.

The feature I like best about diigo is for what I do read, I can highlight the sentences I want to recall or locate later.
I didn't mean "right" in a moral sense, or even correct.

Being a hypocrite is irrelevant with regard to what the hypocrite is saying.
I argue that you're doing them a disservice by not aknowledging them as the same thing and pointing fingers.

Probably not all people from that area have the gps on non-stop with facebook and google accounts signed in non-stop to receive those goody notifications.

What do you do in that case if you're the government ?
What is the simple way for the Chinese government to find the root cause of muslim terrorism and fix it? The only simple fix (as in simple vs easy) would be genocide or giving them their own independent state. The first option is horrible, and the second is not in the interest of the Chinese gov.
That study had some pretty serious flaws, most notably that it excluded workers employed by businesses with multiple locations.
Some things are just easier to reply to. On my way from work I see tonnes of people, all with their phones out, just flicking up, like, up, like, up, like, without even checking what's in the pictures. I'm not sure I understand the value of receiving "x likes".

I'm too old and a(media)social to know the platforms people use these days, but I guess those platforms don't lend themselves to the writing of large insightful essays. On a bus. With a phone. And I think most people won't, anyway.

I think you really need to be a certain kind of person to want to see and reply something trite to every picture of your "inner circle"; as I'm really on the other side of that spectrum, I can't really understand the motivation of the replier or happiness of the content poster. If you want to kill yourself, please come and talk to me, but please don't bore/harass me with pictures of your breakfast. I have a baby girl; I don't understand why I'd post pictures and check how many people like them. I don't see the value; (to me) it's nothing more but a social charade.

Maybe I'm too far on the autistic spectrum to be certain types of social.

Luckily, when you don't crave the attention yourself, you don't have to be part of the game.
Ask HN: What to do if my cofounder and I develop feelings for each other?
I'm male and my co-founder is female. In the beginning when we started, we were really good friends but never saw each other as a romantic interest. But now having shared many ups and downs together, we are beginning to develop feelings for one another. I like her, but I'm also worried that pursuing something romantic would not be good for the company. Have you ever gone through this experience and could share your thoughts?
> Let's say we are in a simulation and the finite speed of light is just a hack... Then you are implying that, outside of the simulation, speed of light is not finite: otherwise limiting it would not be a hack, but a realistic simulation

Not necessarily. I don't think op is necessarily arguing we're in a simulation. It might simply be that we're looking at things wrong.

We fundamentally believe that computation rests upon physics. What if that's backwards, what if physics rests upon computation - and computation is the most fundamental element of the universe. While it may sound absurd at first, it's no more or less absurd than "natural laws make everything go". Somewhere we have to assert there is a bottom and it is allowed to exist - and it's rules just work. We currently just set that to physics.

But if it were computation instead there could be a law of computation that you can't compute and an "infinite" universe and infinite instant communication due to the multiplicative factor of communicating. And this results in a "speed of information"/light.

Who knows, maybe Brooks Law about software really is a fundamental law of the universe. ;)
Mine is a 40" Samsung UN40KU6300 though Samsung appears to rev its model lineup frequently so they may have already released a successor to this model. It was a little difficult to confirm that it supported 4k@60hz with 4:4:4 chroma, but I relied on the experiences of some folks on an audio/video forum who confirmed that they had been able to run with those settings. Unfortunately, I don't remember the name of the forum or have it in my browsing history. I do wish manufacturers would make that information easier to come by though it's certainly a tiny minority of consumers that know or care about those kinds of specs.

The fact that so many people are posting updates an hour after starting their vacation really speaks volumes. It just goes to show, people are making decisions about vacations, events, etc. based on how well it will post on Facebook.

I think that's part of the reason ticket prices have gone through the roof for sporting events. Before, you were only motivated to go to a game based on 1) your desire to see the event live, and 2) your immediate circle of friends and family who you could tell.

Now, all of your outer circle of friends, including the people you went to school with, ex's, etc get to see how well you're living life, how successful you are, etc.

It's really quite annoying and obnoxious.

Having taken a break from social media for about 3 months now, I'm realizing just how evil it is.
In some ways, I imagine the Ultrawides (especially the curved ones) are probably more usable, because quite often you could get by nicely with a purely horizontal array of windows, and not have to be thinking about how to most effectively make use of vertical partitioning too.

When spending the money, I didn't feel like hitching myself to a "weird" aspect ratio, but maybe Ultrawides are here to stay.
One difference is, war kills far more civilians, typically by several orders of magnitude.
A lottery ticket is still a lottery ticket, whether you acquire it at a gas station or though your options agreement.

Don't advocate for damaging the fabric of society where everyone should struggle for some Libertarian fantasy that anyone can be fantastically wealthy with enough grit; it's mostly luck.
Not in the US. US libraries are protected under what is referred to as the "first sale" doctrine, meaning that once a physical object is purchased, it's the purchasers prerogative to do whatever they like with it, including loan it. Publishers and libraries have a bit of a love/hate relationship. Even though publishers would like to prevent loaning, libraries buy a lot of material and also purchase quite a bit from the back catalog of titles that would otherwise not sell much any more.
NPR and PBS neither air reality TV type content, or are outlets for government propaganda.

I understand that's one stated reason for the license tax, but the American model pretty well proves that it isn't necessary to get independent content that's not ad-driven.
Of course. China took inspiration from them. They all followed an almost identical, although subtler model. Singapore and Hong Kong made less use of tariffs and disguised their subsidies better, and made greater use of currency manipulation, though.

Western economists, by and large, advocate doing the exact opposite of what they all did.

90s Russia is a good example of where those recommendations were taken to heart. It didn't go well:

I use a similar workflow to research or keep different projects open. I like tools like diigo that let me keyword bookmark and hifhlughy the text I want from these links into one place. Makes it much easier to come back later and find where I was or had left off even if those tabs are lost or closed.
>For my part,

Yes, I've already acknowledge that people like you exist but it's not relevant to what I was discussing. But let's continue on that example you gave...

>if I consistently like pictures of your kid it means I want to see them on my feed.

Right... but when a person complains to her friends that "nobody 'likes' her posts", it then causes some of them to start "liking" the posts just to get her to shut up. This type of dynamic contributes to the phenomenon I'm talking about.

>Facebook is inherently about sharing things about yourself: [...] Almost nothing posted on Facebook is not self centered in some way. That's not inherently narcissistic.

You're reducing the topic to an absolutism which is not what I'm talking about even though I took great care in the first post to properly qualify the social phenomenon: over-sharing instead of just sharing and "too many personal highlights" instead of just "personal highlights". The NYT author did the same when he wrote, "_excessive_ posting of these pictures".

Yes, Facebook is inherently about sharing... just as an old slide carousel is about sharing film photos. The respective technologies' purpose is not the point.

To restate... There is a widespread social phenomenon: many of us share more than the audience wants to see. It has a perverse feedback mechanism (social grooming, white lies, polite self-censorship, self-ignorance, etc) that perpetuates the phenomenon across different media (e.g. film slides to Facebook). (This disconnect between posters' (non)curation vs audience receptiveness is also mentioned at the end of the NYT article when the author wrote, "I am trying to calibrate my photographic output. As we all should.")

I think that's interesting observation to talk about. Maybe your issue is the word "narcissism"? I used that term because that seems to have the most currency.[1] If there's a better word, make a suggestion. If bringing up the topic itself is toxic and shouldn't be discussed, please explain why.

There's a good reason it's hard to un-make a decision that has already been made: the thrash is usually more damaging than the decision. A sub-optimal strategy is better than a series of changes in the strategy.

It's like in chess, when people talk about making "principled" moves. It means playing the move that best fits the plan you have been pursuing, rather than a tactically more tempting move that is less consistent with your overall strategy.

Unfortunately, this isn't any different from what a variety of countries have been doing to muslims for the last 200 years. If your source of information is mainly the Media, I suggest you spend an afternoon browsing through Wikipedia and compare the numbers. The amount of terrorist attacks by 'so called muslims' (let's just say they are muslim for a moment) is minuscule by the amount of muslims killed by the west. Every single life matters, so let's put things in perspective. The west has occupied and terrorised muslim nations for 2 centuries, but since they control the media, they keep them in the category of 'bad guys'. This surveillance is disgusting. It's how muslims have been occupied and oppressed for 200 years. Those who oppose freedom should downvote this.

Keep in mind that supercomputers are a lot less specialized than circuits for running neural nets.

12 years ago you could have gotten a stack of 5-8 7800 GTX cards and had 1.5TFLOPS of single precision. 11 years ago you could have had a stack of 5 cards with unified shaders. It's not fair to compare against the significantly more complicated route of getting 100 CPU cores working together with only 1-4 per chip.
The fact that there always seems to be some new mortally dangerous enemy (who comes along just when it became unavoidably obvious the previous one was hardly a threat) makes one a little suspicious of the whole thing.
In retrospect, Flowmatic is a really cool name for a programming language.

You can say: if X and Y happen, then with a great degree of certainty Z will follow. That's explaining things, despite not being able to predict if Z will occur or not. There are many ways to test the validity of a model, for example, you can "forecast" past values (using known values of the explanatory variables) and check the accuracy of the predictions.

You just made a list of assertions based on the popularity of a certain viewpoint on HN, which does have a left leaning bias.

It all depends on what you want to optimize for. If you optimize for equality, go with communism, and everyone will be equally poor. If you want wealth, go with a free market, and billions of people will be elevated out of poverty.

Freer markets lead to more economic growth and therefore more with for everyone, not just the rich. Free markets aren't about fair, they're about progress.

Yes, every business wants a moat. The main source of this moat? Government interventions with regulations, bailouts, prohibitions, etc

The capital gains can be offshored, so it won't be in Scandinavia and the ones benefiting wouldn't pay taxes there but rather small change in the Bahamas or Cayman Islands. People with lots of wealth are used to this or they can definitely afford to pay someone who is.
The thing I find works better than anything else is to write some code that works, even though I know it's far from the "right" design.

Once you have concrete working code, it's much easier to organize it in ways that make sense than trying to visualize everything beforehand.

As a young programmer I was taught to carefully design code before starting to write it. It kinda blows my mind that now I design it after writing!
To be fair, is the problem with reddit not mostly subreddit moderators? Obviously reddit admins are guilty as well with modifying the algorithm to hide certain types of speech, but it seems to me the biggest problem is moderators.

For the time being, I think a widespread movement to create a well-known convention of /r/{subreddit}_uncensored would help things immensely.

Negotiated might be strong term. Most libraries work through middlemen who do that negotiation and are then given a rate that they can take or leave. There's no "shopping around" for digital media since publishers control the pricing and availability. This is proving to be a budgeting challenge since digital media is more expensive that physical. There are no discounts from wholesalers for bulk purchasing. Many libraries get physical media at up to a 40% discount from retail because they buy so much.

Of course, digital media does not need to be maintained. It does not need to be cataloged and reshelved; it does not wear out or get damaged. But libraries are still adapting to this shift since there still is a great deal of physical media checking out and that staff is still needed.

"Yes, every business wants a moat. The main source of this moat? Government interventions with regulations, bailouts, prohibitions, etc "

Libertarians never can describe what a free market really is. Is anti-theft law a government regulation? Seems to me that pure anarchy is the only real free market.

I think you're onto something (about C extensions). There was a time, before clang became default on osx, when Apple deprecated nested functions (and perhaps others) in their version of gcc, and afaik no one complained. So I may well be one of the very few. Oh well.

Honestly that guy sounds like he's spouting a bunch of nonsense, trying to act philosophically only to provide nothing useful.
Directed procrastination works for me too. I usually hate admin type of work; sorting out my room, doing the laundry, responding in social media (yes, that counts too..)

But when I hit the inertia part of the productivity cycle, this saves me. It's always better to do something than just being stuck. And while I mechanically do those tasks, my head also gets in order, I start dreaming and slowly, I'm on the roll again.

When the right time comes, I slide back into the 'real' work. I can't quite regret for 'wasting' that time, because usually the reward is a new perspective, and the ideas that come with it.

Shrugs, we're not machines.
"It's as if, after early AI researchers who took some inspiration from biology to create neural networks, the medical establishment then took their results and decided to use them as a guide to performing brain surgery. "

I like that analogy.
I am not American either. I pointed this out because you seemed to imply that USA was the best example of how to properly use a mathematical approach.

Also, I think it is appropriate: what we had here was someone "demonstrating" why a specific policy works: "it works because our math model proves it works".
So instead of going for an empirical proof everybody was expected to be ok wih this because, look, we have math. Also, if it is not working for you it's because you are not doing it right.

In a proper scientific discipline you design experiments to verify if your formulas are correct: if you send a rocket to Venus and it crashes back on Earth you can't just say "you didn't it right, I have an Excel sheet that says it should have reached the target"...

This is an implicit appeal the article is making that is really unfounded at some level.

They seem to be arguing that, because economists missed the Great Recession, economics is a failure.

The problem is the assumption is that a severe, large event is inherently very predictable because it is severe.

The opposite often happens, though. As you say, predicting volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, suicide, violent acts are all notoriously difficult to predict, and you could make the argument that severe economic events are the same (I'm not saying this is true, only that it's an equal counterargument).
> Can someone explain me the technical details as to how the mirroring of the website didn't raise any suspicion from the customer or buyer side ?

By definition the point is the server location is hidden else the police would just bust it. So there's no way anyone can ever tell where it is by definition.

Although the question is has someone found a way?

Technically it's as pfg mentions, they get the private key when they bust the real site, hence can locate where ever they want.

If it's a virtual machine they'd just snapshot it and read it from memory.

Dedicated encrypted server, theoretically possible (Silly things like chilling the RAM). Practically? Pretend there's an outage and MITM the password when entered? I'd bet on they'd just cut their losses in this case. Buuut??
