Well here's an interesting observation: the "right" subreddit cites some sources that the "left" subreddit cites, but not vice versa. For example, NYT and Politico appear near the tail of the "right" sub's sources and near the head of the "left" sub's sources, but none of the "right" sub's sources appear anywhere in the "left" sub's sources.

So, assuming that NYT and Politico are left-leaning, it would appear that the "right" sub links to its opponents' views, while the "left" sub does not.

The implications of this are left to the reader.
I think I explained why I thought he wasn't worth reading. If you think he is then you should explain that.

As I said, I read a biographical piece in the NYTimes that mentioned his favorite book. Conrad is a great writer and that had me intrigued. But then after reading it, it didn't raise my opinion of him.

As for his existence, the guy sent bombs in the mail to innocent people. Fuck him.
If we establish these ground-rules:

1. [proof of concept] the inventor is responsible for the invention's (initial) appearance, but not for any other person's epiphanies regarding possible use-cases {in HN speak: execution(opportunity) >= execution(invention) >> imagination(invention) > imagination(execution(opportunity)) }

2. [proof that one can rely upon proof of concept] the user is responsible for the opportunity in which the invention is used

3. [proof of concept evolves into paradigm] society becomes aware of opportunities in which established inventions have typically been used or hypothetical (realistic?) situations in which their use would be significant

..it may become easier to discriminate the components of responsibility.

[does responsibility obey the distribute property? Does it obey association? (Could it ever be abelian???), etc...]

Furthermore... I can understand people making choices affect the choices that others can make as a lemma - but I don't particularly believe the TOOLS that people decide upon ARE EXACTLY those 'choice-deltas' - without a huge deviation from ordinary definition of technology ( which I think is not without rationale).
would something like this work well on mixed/pidgin languages - e.g. Hinglish , which is a mixture of Hindi and English and used in daily vernacular ?
And also makes them look more complicated with more syntax. C++ has all those features that I will never know without adding performance. But people don't use Python for performance but ease of use.

In C++ ease of use is given up for the sake of performance. In python it is the other way.

> Universal basic income, free university education and free state-run healthcare are leftist... no Democrat puts those things in their platform so I wouldn't call any democrat leftist.

That's not a logical conclusion. Even if they did support those things, they wouldn't put them in their platform now because it wouldn't fly now. You're defining "leftist" as "actively supports X, Y, and Z," which is arbitrary. And the part about Europe is a red herring; this isn't Europe.

I disagree, but can respect your opinion. I am actually probably best described as a libertarian socialist. I'm in the lower left of the political square.

I was a libertarian before the rise of Rand and the usurpation of the moniker. We used to be the crazy left, actually. I prefer to think of it as pragmatism.

If you want to put it on a bumper sticker, I basically want to ensure as much individual freedom as I can, while ensuring protections of the commons. As an avid hunter, fisherman, and gardener, I certainly consider the environment to be a part of the commons - and don't mind subsidizing things to improve it.

It's pragmatism and an awareness that humans are not rational actors who operate with complete information.

Note: I am not asserting that I am correct and you must change your views. I'm expanding to show why I believe as I do. I also don't mind taxes. I actually pay more than I use, but I am paying for the system that enabled that.

> I think ads would actually do better if they're just targeted to the demographic that fits the page I'm currently looking at without being personalized.

There's a gap: Getting search/retargeting interest information is almost instant, but finding out you've purchased is hard and takes time.

However it's effective enough: Retargeting boosts most verticals by as much as 3-5x, and where that one click pays $1 the ads cost about $3 per thousand to display them.
That's supposed to be the original source of funds for schools, but unfortunately in this case it clearly is not working for them.

Another reminder that selling goods and services in exchange for money still works better than giving things away and hoping somebody gives you a donation.

Doesn‘t anybody find it curious that the source of data are range estimates displayed on the cars built-in dashboard?

For all we know, Teslas might be programmed to show more „optimistic“ estimates as the batteries get older.

I‘m not saying this is actually the case, but these stats are effectively manufacturer-provided numbers. Would you trust data like this if it came from any other car manufacturer?

If you have a gasoline car, do you trust the fuel consumption rate displayed on the dashboard? Should journalists trust it? Or should they measure how much gas they put in the tank and divide it by distance driven?
So parents pick suitors and daughters have the power of veto. That way parents filter out bad boy thugs (who may damage her face) and those of lower economic/social classes (who may reduce her to penury). Daughter filters out people she finds repulsive. The traditional model as I understand it.
Perhaps OC is more like SD than LA, but LA is more like OC than LA is like SLO — and by a wide margin.

Why? I've driven through the area a dozen times. It's all the same sprawl. The nice parts of OC don't seem that much different than say Pasadena.
Depending on what part of orange county you identify with... I feel like north Orange County, eg Anaheim, Huntington Beach, Buena Park, etc, would go well with Los Angeles, and South Orange County, eg Irvine, Laguna *, San Juan Capistrano, etc would go well with San Diego. For ease of division, let 714 go with LA and 949 go with San Diego.
I probably shouldn't have mentioned responsibility -- it wasn't the main point I was trying to make. My point is something like "people living in a world with X" are different from "people living in a world without X" in profound ways, and it's not under anyone's control.

I'm not really interested in how we distribute blame -- only in pointing out that you can't release new technology, shrug your shoulders, and say, "Well, if it's misused, not on us." A far more accurate metaphor would be to consider us like animals in captivity.
My experience (as a uMatrix user -- I get to manually whitelist domains all the time) is that most sites host their own copy of jquery anyway. And the sites that download scripts from external domains are usually the worst offenders -- they download a crapton of things from external domains, definitely not in my cache. As in they probably couldn't care less about performance. Name resolution often takes longer than it would take to serve these request first hand.

Do you have a links to alt right writings and thought leaders that push forward this view?

I hear endlessly about this alt right ideology from the left but I can't seem to find a single person other than a few clearly fringe white nationalists who use this label.

I try to follow both left and right, anarchist and libertarian groups, on Twitter and elsewhere quite closely and I've been struggling to connect the breathless warnings of the rise of these groups with any actual data/numbers or any prominent leaders to measure the tangible growth and efficacy of their messaging.

In terms of rejection of establishment this can equally be found on the fringes of the left as well. Not to mention 'paranoia' and 'feelings of being surrounded' when I frequently read about the rise of 'Nazis' and fascism which again seems to be limited to a fringe at most, unless one takes seriously the extremely broad group of people who are now given these labels.

If anything this election has merely amplified political tribalism fuelled by fantasical images of armies of caricatures of their opponents. The reality seems much more boring and less scary. Especially when one tangibly measures how ineffective any of Trumps more extreme policies have been at becoming reality.

Even though Trump won he was still fringe and ridiculed within his own party endlessly, which they were quick to forget out of political expediency. The fact these same people chose him over Hillary in some key rust belt states also doesn't lead me to believe his more extreme views are as popular and widespread as we're lead to believe. If anything it seems like his primary offering was emotional gratification about 'winning' over the other tribe.

Therefore I'm extremely wary to buy into these narratives generalizing the 'other' tribes views.
I took a bunch flak for it, but the votes eventually turned positive. A day later EFF put out a statement that was much as I had written and the ACLU has done the same. I think I'm in fine company.

So, maybe there is hope? Maybe it isn't hopeless, so much as it is a battle that can't be won, merely sustained. They say the price of freedom is eternal vigilance. I suspect they are right. Also, I might just be imagining that quote, come to think of it. If they don't say it, they should.

Bias is pervasive. Has been forever. Maybe always will be.

But I still refuse to consider it "humdrum".

I did say they were rarely needed, if one does need interthread communication then yes an MVar or two will probably be used under the bonnet somewhere. Threads can however be used without MVars. Haskell offers many concurrency and parallel programming primitives.

Compare with C++ where every smartpointer holds mutable state (even if it points to a immutable value) and triggers a memory barrier whenever it is accessed.
I also think this is the common suggestion on HN for a year or two now.

Ah, spotted the man who cares for food, lovely write up. As much as I have been exposed to Japanese food, there is nothing on earth that will beat a realy good Ramen.

This is not their fault, it is my inner freak that over cares I think. S/He who cares about Ramen, watch the lovely movie "Tampopo".

I must be really out of the loop because I just don't see enough of what Facebook is doing to justify all of this garbage. There's a lot of lip service in the article about user experience, and I guess there are some changes here and there, but wtf is happening here? I definitely want and use CI/CD tools for my team's software, but what the fuck are you really doing when you are making this many changes per day?

Call me an old fart, but if you are in a situation where you need to make that many changes per day, you are utterly fucked from almost every angle.

Every aspect of this article sounds to me like people have no idea what they are trying to do, so they write code and push it, and it goes live. And everyone is very happy about this, for some insane reason.

No offense to anyone, but this is not a reality I want to live in. And the article doesn't do much to defend the notion.

It's very common to have international U.S. based companies offer N types of fasteners/whatever in imperial sizes, but only N/2 in metric. So we frequently build stuff in imperial sizes because of greater flexibility.

And don't get me started on (non)tapered pipe threads... I've heard some horror stories of huge subassemblies built in Europe using BSPT and shipped to the U.S. for final assembly, where of course everything else is NPT, so some poor sod has to spend a month replacing all subassembly fittings.

I am in a double-bind. On the one hand, I agree with some of his ideas about society's unspoken capacity for alienation.

On the other hand, were his actions + manifesto not the pinnacle of cultural junk food? Practically designed for mass-consumption, and hence complicit in consumption's deleterious effect upon humanity itself -
- because of how he knew it would receive attention? He deliberately chose to express himself in a way so as to attract the attention of the various distant story-tellers (essayists and journalists and news anchors, etc..) he knew would be drawn to his story like moths to flames. How is it more prophetic than O.J. Simpson's highway chase in The White Bronco, even if academia's chorus say "This is a message that actually is addressed to us!", and even if O.J.'s event was spontaneous, but the Unabomber's was premeditated..?

To be honest, mine isn't a totally original idea. I got it from watching a tiny video yesterday about Adorno, on pop music -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd7Fhaji8ow
I am constrained by the non-disclosure I signed when I left Google from disclosing how I know this, but I know that the auctions on Google are "not a simpler version" :-).

That said, I think IAB's efforts to make auction priced advertising available to people who don't use Google's ad network is commendable.
The only good ad is a dead one.

With very few exceptions, especially in the consumer space, you won't need advertising if you actually need something. You'll search it out or your friends will tell you what to buy.

Advertising serves as a way for the capitalist class to exert veto power over other aspects of society by yanking funding at opportune moments (see the current Google snafu or Bill O'Reilly's departure from FOX (which was an example of this power being used for good indirectly via public pressure)). It also allows for shows of dominance, strength, and to move fucking product by creating an awareness moat vs your competitors. This means that people often already know they want to buy something, but they'll pick you instead of the other one which is fundamentally different from advertising performing a public service.
I'm sorry but you are wrong about that. The data is fundamentally scoped.
> But you can't implement a new feature just by deleting code.

No, but you can implement a "story", i.e. the removal of code is presumably a ticket somewhere in the system. (Or could become one.)

Run on a smaller system? Run faster?

Ask HN: Where is E-mail 2.0?
The Web has a number of groups focused on guiding the evolution of web based technologies. The DNS network has ICANN.

We owe it to ourselves to ensure E-mail evolves as much as the Web. Security, Privacy, Deliverability, and SPAM prevention, all these things need improvements. I've heard people say the focus these days is on Instant Messaging, but that's a misguided perspective, instant messaging IS E-mail, but it's privatized and proprietary instead of open and free.

E-mail used to have the IMC but they apparently ceased operations in 2002. Are there any other organizations focused on guiding E-mail's evolution?
I stand half corrected, they did encourage publishing along with DoJ and it was the papers which ultimately made the call.
No, you can of course write some simple stretchy model that fits fast. The thing with NNs is that you don't have to domuch work to get a good fast model, you use cpu cores for that instead.
If you imagine pizza and pasta as ways to get satisfied, then you can consider your final satisfaction as the finished products.

Whether you choose pizza or pasta depends on your personal taste. And maybe on your skillset, if you need to prepare the food. Both lead to mostly the same outcome – your satisfaction.

Whether you choose React JS or Vue.JS also depend on your personal taste and skills. Both lead to a finished product.
>I think I explained why I thought he wasn't worth reading

Well no, you said why he wasn't worth reading, and then made claims about him and his work ("There was nothing to the man...")

My question is why you went out of your way to ignore the available first-hand sources, and preferred second-hand, and indirect, sources to judge his writing.

Why would you read the book he likes, but not what he actually wrote, before making claims about the value of his writing? And more importantly, why would you go out of your way to handle it this way? It seems to me you had interest in the ideas he might have (due to the bibliography) but went on a roundabout way to view them for no particular reason.

See, I'd understand if you, say, already knew the book, and considered it trash, and thus decided he probably doesn't know what he's talking about; but you apparently chose to put in the work to read the book over reading his actual writings, when the latter was probably more available and accessible. You specifically chose the indirect route over the direct one, and came to a very direct conclusion, and this decision confounds me.
