Dude you make so many assumptions that I can't catch up with you. I won't even try going line by line and tell you why you are wrong because you make incorrect assumptions about me AND the people you think you know.

Instead I'll just tell you one thing. You sound like someone who reads a lot of bullshit news online, because everything you say is just parroting off of some media pundit. The world is not as simple as that. If you really want to know more about each of the topics you just casually mention, don't rely your knowledge on online articles. Actually read books and go deep in, and you'll realize that the reality is far from what's depicted in the media. I can confidently say this because coincidentally, each and every topic you mention I was very interested in and did a lot of research. Some of them are my majors and some of them are directly related to my day-to-day work. I'm pretty sure I know more about these topics than people who just read them off the Internet. So, if you're really interested in these topics, ignore what the media tells you and go deeper.
How is paying 1% of the car value seen as attractive? Isn't it $590/month assuming you drove the same car the reviewer drove?

My monthly Uber/Lyft expenses are lower than that, infact top out at ~120 USD. I use it to commute to work, shopping, etc.
I'd take the output of getrandom() and XOR it with something like a quantum RNG.

E.g. these guys claim their hardware is used by Lotteries and Gaming: http://www.idquantique.com/random-number-generation/quantis-...

But, as Agent Mulder knew, "trust no one". So the above is necessary but not sufficient. Above all else, there must be constant vigilance.
If you would stop being so hostile, you would realize that both points were extremely relevant.

1.) If a casual search on Google can find two negative articles, it draws to question the article's methodology. If a casual searcher can find articles that didn't make it into the sample, how many more were missed? Is it possible that positive articles get shared more often and are thus easier to find? Or, if they were included (and get indexed highly) does it mean negative articles have significantly more traction, thus making it likely that 6% negative will have a greater impact than 94% positive?

2.) Without knowing what proportion of positive/negative articles exist for other companies, it's quite hard to argue that the Amazon coverage is atypically positive.
I think what xbmcuser is saying is that Apple is screwed either way: don't pull the apps and be kicked out of China altogether, or pull the apps and lose a competitive advantage. Not that Apple would lose _more_ this way, simply that they still lose.
The cognitive and personal liberty argument is all that should be required. It's my body and my mind, and I won't let another person exert that control over me. The negative externalities of drug use are mostly caused by prohibition itself and are minor compared to a whole host of things that are considered normal and vital to society (alcohol, junk food, driving a car, consumerism, etc.). Being branded a criminal will not exactly be the helpful push you need toward quitting drugs anyway.

Some other good arguments are...

* harm reduction through unadulterated and consistent drugs, clean needles, less stigmatization of addicts

* elimination of the black market around illegal drugs

* money from taxation

* reduction of the prison population and financial savings in the legal system / government / police

* the opportunity for research into both the medicinal effects of drugs like marijuana, mdma, psilocybin, and potential treatments based on greater scientific insight into the addictive properties of recreational drugs.

* that prohibition actually pushes people toward more dangerous drugs (heroin --> fentanyl, LSD / mushrooms --> 25i-NBOMe, marijuana --> K2)

* that the drug war is simply not working, so even if drug use has some inherent detriment to society, there's no realistic way to make that disappear.
Alameda County. As far as I know, my library doesn't have this, at least exposed in through the online catalogue.
Oakland seems to be approving residential towers at a decent clip. I'm not sure it belongs in the same breath as SF and SJ.
Nobody shoots up on the sidewalk because it's the best place for that experience; they do it because they don't have a better place to go. The problem isn't the drugs, it's the system that puts addicts on the street, and the legal system is part of that.
The robot economy is not a jobs issue. It is a wealth issue.

An entrepreneur's primary function is to create jobs. Every job ever created that wasn't made by the government was a direct or indirect consequence of an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship is thriving.

A business's primary function is to hire people. Any large business that isn't firing is hiring. And public businesses need to grow to stay in business. 75% of Google's income is from ads. There couldn't be an easier service to automate and robotize than an ad system. Yet, not only are they hiring, but they're looking to spend this money in completely unrelated areas. They're literally starting from "A" and going down the alphabet.

Entrepreneurs and businesses will always look to automate. But they will also always look to hire. Elon Musk is partially responsible for this AI job paranoia, but not only is Tesla not fully robotized they have a shortage of workers and they're hiring like mad [1].

Jobs are about skills, and yes, if you're doing a job that is a candidate for new methods of automation - like driving - your job is in danger. But unless you're only capable of doing one job, all you'll do is find another. You're not a "robot".

And even if humanoids begin to take over more human work, entrepreneurs and businesses will simply hire more and hire them all. We will work alongside our robotic co-workers, and the economy (should) just expand to meet our collective output.

But herein lies the real issue.

Robots will not be owned by robots. They will be owned by people. And if robots are productive, they'll become the new real estate. A robot with a job will be like a house that pays rent.

Bill Gates recently came out with a robot tax video [2]. But taxes are not enough to equalize the wealth gap. It hasn't worked for humans, and it won't work for bots.

Not only money, but ownership needs to be redistributed. Unfortunately, we have yet to find a solution for this old problem either.

So what if you lost your job if you own two apartments that bring in a middle class wage? Replace apartments with robots.

The Robot Economy is not about jobs. It's about wealth.

PHP7 has improved life when dealing with legacy systems, but I think all in all you're better off not building new stuff in it. There are almost always better tools for the job than PHP, like Django, Rails, Go's net/http, etc. depending on the kind of thing you're writing.
Now you have to move the counterweight in and out, which gives you the same problem.

There was lots of discussion on this article ~2 weeks ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14777898
>The "unfashionable choice" that works doesn't need justification

Why? That's what I'm asking.
Oh, this is with regards to 'porn' still then.

The women stomping on stamp sheets bit is female domination which has always been very niche. Niche sites generally don't find themselves on pornhub because (a) their viewers like the site enough not to do that and (b) since their audience is so small, they can't afford to let it be satisfied 'for free' elsewhere.

Also I should clarify... the women stomping on sheets video likely involved a lot of verbal dirty talking as well, or provocative shots. If you actually watched it, you'd figure out its porn fairly quickly even if you weren't aroused by it.
I have a bunch of engineers that can presumably automate the provisioning and de-provisioning of the LDAP user accounts without having to mess around with the AD. I hire a consultant (think MSP) to set up and maintain the LDAP hosts and have my engineers write the necessary scripts to perform the aforementioned. This is beneficial for security automation, especially, in the cases where a company is too small to afford a dedicated IT SMEs but large enough to be able to afford something like SSAE-18 SOC 2 Type 2 (or equivalent). In those cases, the security automation in itself presents a repeatable process, which can be verified given the scripts would be executed using a job (Jenkins). This project fits that mold perfectly because that I have dealt with the exact scenario nth times with many start-ups operating in the B2B world with security stipulations such as ISO 27xxx or SOC 2 Type 2.

Yes, XOR. But what's also needed is simplicity.

As another poster here said, "simply use getrandom()". Whether or not you agree with that exact function, the idea behind "simply" is exactly that, simplicity. It's a lot easier to audit code that does:

getrandom()
read hardware RNG
XOR those two together
done!
btw ... keep a permanent log of these random numbers

But, as the article said, things were much more complicated. Who allowed something into production that had an opportunity to check for Wednesdays and Saturdays?

As someone who's pretty firmly in the legalization/decriminalization camp, and as someone who doesn't partake in drug use, I rarely even consume alcohol or caffeine despite quite enjoying the taste, I don't really have a terribly persuasive response to your concerns. All of the things you highlight are deeply troubling and concerning to me as well, however, it seems fairly apparent that our current methods of dealing with drug use and addiction are so appallingly unsuccessful, and have been so costly, both in lives and expenditures, that legalization or at least complete decriminalization seem like a better alternative at this point. And this doesn't even take into account any views I may have on the personal liberty perspective.
Small services for local communities will not die, though. If no money circulates, we will go back to barter and communes.
Yes, I work in the industry. MindGeek owns like 80% of it. They even owned Playboy Digital for a little while.
It's not that I think they don't care, I just think with companies like this caring is proportional to their investment in it. We often see how much SV company X is investing in lobbying, R&D, etc but we see very little how much their investing into their local municipalities to make living better.

Perhaps I'm being ignorant, it wouldn't be the first time, but it seems like, to me, that they don't care proportional to their capital. When companies have $30-40 billion plus in cash holdings, it makes issues like these seem rather... baffling. Not to say money solves all problems, but it sure does help. Though getting anyone to invest in the long term is something unlikely to please investors, financial analysts, or executives protecting their jobs.
People carried actual phones with them long before smartphones existed.

There were carphones which required a big box in the trunk. There were cellphones that did nothing but make calls. It wasn't until much later that mobile phones started doing anything but making phone calls.

So no, "this was" not "correct".
Probably because we don't generally become aware of anyone's heroin usage, whether they're a celebrity or someone you know, until it's a problem spiraled out of control. Most people never see non-addictive, non-destructive recreational use.
Amen. To add to this: one of the (many) reasons people end up on heroin is because they lose access to pharmaceutical painkillers. It might sound strange, but our restrictive drug policies are actually making the heroin epidemic worse. We need a better approach.
So, framework-vs-language arguments without any kind of explanation why are in huh?

This is something that's hard to measure and quantify.

That said, you may be trying to make an impact on someone and never get to see the fruit of it in your lifetime. Those kind words of encouragement, that smile, that mentoring session... they could seem like they're of no effect, and falling on deaf ears.

You never know. It might be days/months/years down the road, and that person recalls their interaction with you, and something take root in their life, and change happens.

If you're trying to make an impact, and you're only satisfied by what you see right now in front you, you may be sorely disappointed.

@nougatine - you say "none whatsoever". I beg to differ, friend. You may be having a tremendous impact, and may never get to see it.

I would encourage any of you who happen to read this, to take a long view, and act with that in mind. It's totally possible for you to have a HUGE impact on someone and never get to see it.

Hopefully, this will temper our interactions with people.

> A good static type system is too useful and important.

What? A whole lot of web apps these days are built in Python, Ruby, or JavaScript, none of which are statically typed languages. Do you mean a strong type system?
I would go to a better school and join a fraternity. Craft mastery is overrated.
i think PHP has the opposite problem of JavaScript - a build-in function library that's too big and very inconsistent. much of http://phpsadness.com/ remains in v7+. i tried to get them to change their long-standing, self-admitted improper ternary associativity [1] or at least deprecate it in v7 but it resulted in a huge bikeshed (despite no one actually encountering code that depended on the wrong behavior which has been discouraged for many years) and died a fast death [2]. their "if it's documented [3], it ain't broken" stance is pretty toxic and they maintain BC to a fault, IMO.

also, they've refused to implement native multi-part formdata parsing in anything other than POST requests and dont expose a good/safe way to get this done either, leaving PUT/PATCH request parsing up to the users, which is shitty and has been asked for a long time ago [4]. this means you can't rely on language-level support for basic REST, leaving it up to frameworks/routers.

it's crap like this that moved me on to other languages. PHP7 is fast though, and gets shit done. i'll give it that. i don't see any reason to start a new project with it when you can have node/js/vscode (or better).

The paper is too abstract for me but it seems to mean that we don't really need the concept of infinity (for theorems in finite domain). I like that.
Spending habits can reveal a ton of information about a person. At that point, financial privacy has the same justification as encrypted communication or any other kind of privacy: protecting people from Government overreach. Knowledge is power.
I haven't built anything in it (and rarely touch PHP, aside from some Wordpress ecosystem stuff), but if I were to build a web app in PHP today, I'd build it in Laravel vis-a-vis "raw" PHP.
the benefit should always outweigh the risks, that goes without saying.
The argument the politicians gave was that Google is already the largest employer, and adding an extra 10,000 people means that Google could swing the elections by telling their employees who to vote for.

How would you turn an unlimited amount of money into a counterargument for those scared politicians?

There should be an Amdahl's law for lobbyists: If you have 12 politicians and it takes 9 months per politician to convince them, increasing the number of of lobbyists loses effectiveness once you have 1 lobbyist in every politician's office 24/7.

The author seems to miss a lot here. Sure, there will be industries that will follow the ATM model, but many more won't. I mean how do you miss cars? It is the most talked about industry to be disrupted by AI and there is no way it is going to create more jobs.

Also, the author clearly misses Coke's marketing strategy. It is pretty well understood that Coke doesn't advertise to get people to buy their product. AI has been good at getting us to buy products. And I'm pretty sure AI will also get good at keeping us using products.

Really it just comes off as naive and overly optimistic.
it will take a very long time until the market needs dissappear. Not everyone replaces their cars as often as their phones.
I remember hearing the sick child story from a professor -- actually, I think the professor had elaborated the story into the death of Williams' daughter, if I remember correctly -- and immediately hating the poet and the poem.

After thirty five years and an explanation from the poet's mouth, I rather like the poem and the poet, and hate that professor. Thankfully, I can't remember his name, though I can still see his smug mustache under his horn-rimmed glasses.
Can you give an example of a problem where you have "no defined ordering and a large amount of shared state"? What kind of model is typically used in that domain?

>There are almost always better tools for the job than PHP, like Django, Rails, Go's net/http, etc. depending on the kind of thing you're writing.

Except for the time when you are 10 times more proficient in PHP but none of those languages. Then no, none of those languages are better for the job.
The older choice usually by default has:

- More people who know how to operate it

- A greater portion of its failure modes that are known, with workarounds

- Mature tooling and libraries

New technologies need a compelling reason that their pros will outweigh the above incumbent benefits.
Out of all the definitions and all of the activities the word entails, there is one thing all entrepreneurs have in common. They create jobs, starting with themselves.

That's one job made from none. They can decide not to hire or be happy alone, but eventually, you'd be hard pressed not to hire if your business is thriving and you're generating more work than you can handle yourself. Business have always grown with people. People consuming work = a job.

The job market is not zero sum.
Education != schooling. It's a mistake to assume that you can only be "educated" in an institution.

> Who allowed something into production that had an opportunity to check for Wednesdays and Saturdays?

From the analysis in the article it sounds like the function that you're describing was added to the dylib binary after compilation, so it was 'slipped' rather than 'allowed' into production.

That said, auditing the binary and bindiff as suggested could perhaps mitigate the problem, modulo 'Reflections on trusting trust' and its mitigations.
Mainly because that's the only information most of us ever get.

It's fine. I still write a decent amount of PHP. I also maintain a Wordpress-backed CMS that processes payments and it works just fine to the tune of several million dollars per year, a figure that most people on HN start planning for concurrency, scaling, and doing tons of premature optimizations before hitting.

I helped on the HyperPHP documentation team and debugged a bunch as I wrote some machine learning stuff in PHP as an exercise in developing it with the HyperPHP translator.

I enjoy writing it. I find myself using Python more and more simply because it's easier to find better outsourcers with academic projects in their background (a niche I'm in and something that Python was literally built to service), but PHP 7+ has been great. I don't particularly care for the unbridled hate that comes with PHP historically being "bad" and also extremely popular.
