> If you didn't know it already, think tanks are a euphemism for propaganda machine.

I'm not sure if this is hyperbole or if you don't actually know what propaganda means. Propaganda refers to media/communication that influences a large group of people (citizens in the context of politics or employees in the context of business).

Most think tanks (aei, cato, brookings etc) publish research for an academic and legislative audience, not for the masses to consume.
Fair question man. TBH I have started two. They both cratered. Learned a lot and working on #3. It's fing hard ;)
I don't really have a refutal, but more of a dismissal.

Almost all of the code I write just uses prebuilt data structures (other then structs to group things) and when writing this code I find the safety measures that rust provides very convenient because I don't have to worry about these things such as lifetimes. It is nice knowing that the compiler will let me know if I make an error.

However yes, it doesn't solve the hard probem of complex circular structures. I don't see this as a major issue because when I am writing these I am carefully thinking about the strucutre anyways. So yes, while it would be nice to have these verified as well I wouldn't want take the tradeoff if it made the language much more complex.
I had no clue! That's useful information.

> The half of the USA that voted Trump is simply tired of the abuse, disdain, intolerance, and complete disregard for their interests.

No, they're tired of having their feelings hurt and tired of imaginary threats. Rural voters (nationally anyway) already have an outsized influence on State and Federal government. Without gerrymandering in favor of rural voters (and the 2-senators per state which also heavily favors rural voters) the cities - and by extension Democrats - would have a complete lock on a majority of states and Congress.

Rural America is over-represented and wields far too much control over the country. I grew up there too and they have a disregard for their own self-interest. It's mostly complete ignorance and a complete disregard for reality, followed by seething anger at imaginary wrongs. To Rural America all our problems are simple and can be solved with a soundbite. Rural America is the epitome of the interviews with Trump voters who claim "we are losing our country" and when asked to name how or why they draw a blank. When asked how Obama's presidency hurt them they hem and haw.

How is ARCore better than ARKit?
The brainwashing experiment is being done at a much larger scale by the American left and the globalists (i.e. 1. anything that makes human life better in any way is doing some harm to something... it's usually environment or natural way of things or anything else they can come up with, 2. morality is relative, 3. everyone is "equal" etc.). As a result, the world is deeply divided in this regard. We are at a brink of a major world war and it seems unavoidable.

Yes. This optimization is expected to be expanded in the future but there are currently "NonZero" types. Rust notices this and uses the zero value as the enum descriminant.

So in this case the code generated is idential to a nullable pointer.

I don't know if I can take the new Nest E seriously. The video talks about how they took a display and put frosted glass over it so that you couldn't see it very well just sounds like something the Onion would run. I guess it might be OK but I just feel like I'm being trolled.
Can you explain why it's a bad thing?

From my perspective, I've found various things via advertising that I would have never come across by other means.

A lot of people argue that "you'll just search for what you want" except I'm tired of searching for "shirt" and then scrolling for days looking for something that may work. Every once in a while I'm hit with a really good ad, and I'll click it, and maybe even buy.
It seems I wasn't clear enough on that, but either were just examples. Another, OpenSolaris' libc components, is more intricate.

We need fewer people than ever working in agriculture for ever greater output so that's a wash.

People continue to flock to cities; urban populations are already the majority and it gets more lopsided every day. That isn't disdain or hate, that's just math.

You are right, the conclusions might seem obvious, but nevertheless it is a great step forward that finally somebody in IT has taken the effort to make a statement about developer productivity that is based on empirical data.

Too many discussions on this subject are just based on intuitions and gut feelings, really amazing if you consider how much of an exact science IT is otherwise. I hope there will be more of this kind of fact based research in the future. I can think of a few more subjects, e.g. productivity gains by switching from an imperative to a functional language.

Eh, I think I've never clicked on an ad on the internet and bought a thing. The only times I've clicked on an ad that I can think of is mobile where I was trying to close something and got fucked.

So, advertising models based on clickthroughs definitely haven't worked on me. (Admittedly uBlock has reduced my exposure somewhat)

But the magazine style "increase awareness of product and hope that leads to eventual interest and purchase" probably works as well on me as anyone else.
Why I didnt invest in Jetsmarter
People are asking me why I invested in Vegas Jets instead of Jetsmarter. The answer is simple, Jetsmarter's free shuttles will bankrupt them.

In 1981, American Airlines offered unlimited first-class tickets for a one-time fee of $250,000. One of the first-class ticket holders flew over 10,000 flights costing the company $21,000,000. Jetsmarter offers free private jet flights for $10,000-$25,000. See the problem?

The AAirpass was a discount program offered to its members by American Airlines. It was launched in 1981 and was specifically aimed at frequent flyers. According to the American Airlines, the holder of the pass would have unlimited access to first-class travel for life.

The cost of the pass was $250,000 and a companion pass could be obtained at another $150,000. It was a great deal of money especially considering that it was three decades ago. American Airlines believed to be a good deal which would rope in its loyal customers. But it got the shock of its life when some pass holders started traveling at the drop of a hat. A person named Steve Rothstein bought the pass in 1987 and took 10,000 flights while clocking 10 million miles. In another instance, a Dallas-based marketing executive bought the pass and traveled nearly 38 million miles. His AAirpass was later revoked after he was caught selling the companion seat.

In the end it was a billion dollar disaster that put AA on the path of bankruptcy - something no equity investor likes.

HackerNews used to be all about cryptocurrencies. I think the original Satoshi paper was posted here soon after it was released. But about your cynicism-remark, this never changed. People that jumped on the opportunity were too busy to post on HN. People that did not, well... this is the first ever comment on HN about Bitcoin, 3037 days ago:

Well this is an exceptionally cute idea, but there is absolutely no way that anyone is going to have any faith in this currency. [1]

> Why can't we just have an intelligent conversation about this new technology?

It is quite the same with HN and SEO: Because there are a few scumbags in the SEO space that are very obvious for HN readers, every thread about optimizing websites for search engines has a negative sentiment.

This technology has a lot of obvious scumbags too. Now the companies in the article did not get to a billion market cap by being scumware. Speculators just assume the value of the coin will rise (again) with increased adoption of the technology.

Then I think a lot of early HN posters moved elsewhere or just stick to read-only mode. Also, maybe, "me too hates this!" is more popular on HN than "I like this".

I agree it is a shame that there isn't a single comment about the technology of the two ICO unicorns in the article. About successfully skipping VC and crowdfunding your next startup by issuing a token.

Instead we get a thread that is pushed off the front page, due to more comments than upvotes, most of the comments talking about unrelated scams or conflating value of distributed tokens with business evaluation.

They left out the recent DARPA idea of helicopter-style blades that retract into a disk-like wing.

They left out designs that transition rapidly and automatically, without sustained hover. For example, an aircraft with a pair of thrust-vectoring engines could be equipped with a nose gear that tosses the front upward, allowing an automated takeoff. (too fast to be done manually) Landing could be similar, with a long and heavy-duty node gear that can take a bit of shock. Another approach is a solid-fuel rocket, again just enough to support the nose.

Interestingly Ferrari missed the opportunity to pass Mercedes at a restart after a safety car late in the race [1] because software cut off one electrical motor close to the end of the main straight [2]. That was a common choice to preserve energy for other parts of the track. Still Mercedes has a button on the steering wheel to override the software and keep delivering power from all engines. That might have won the race for them.

I don't care about the price. I pay for insurance for my employees because it is the right thing to do.

The comment I am referring to is the nightmare of the setup, not the cost to me for providing the healthcare. And many middleware insurance navigators make it easy to provide it (at least for me).

As far as how much it costs me, whatever.

> From my perspective, I've found various things via advertising that I would have never come across by other means.

If you want to make a fair comparison, that should be compared to all the things you didn't find because useless ads took up your time and mental space.

Also, whether or not you found something through an ad is not the point; one isn't not going to convince a smoker to quit smoking by trying to convince them that nicotine doesn't make them feel good - it's the other shit about it that is bad.

In the case of advertising, there's a lot of cynical manipulation going on. The nagging factor in children's advertising comes to mind as one really evil example:

I've been TV- and ad-free since 2001 (yes, yes, I know: the "how do you know someone doesn't watch TV? They'll tell you"-smugness curse strikes again). In my case it was accidental however: I was living in a student appartment with no access to TV and Internet for over a year, having only books to read and rented movies to watch. Even when forced upon you you start noticing the difference pretty quickly, and wondering how you ever was capable of considering this normal. Nowadays ads just feel invasive, like strangers shouting at me on the street claiming they want to have a conversation while really they just want to get into my pockets.

The main issue I see is caring too much about other implementation of Python.

While that is a very kind behavior, it brings more complexity to the issue.

The CPython developers should, imho, define/consolidate the API and then choose the implementation that yields the best performance for their implementation.

Developers of other Python implementation will surely find a way to implement that API with optimal performances with regards to the peculiarities of their own implementations.
