I like that quote in the interview:

> Also, asked whether in hindsight he would have preferred Sun having been acquired by IBM (which pursued a deal to acquire Sun and then backed out late in the game) rather than Oracle, Gosling said he and at least Sun Chairman Scott McNealy debated the prospect. And the consensus, led by McNealy, was that although they said they believed "Oracle would be more savage, IBM would make more layoffs."

That's not an ad hominem. If you're going to use logical fallacies you had best understand what they are. And don't try to partially quote me to make my statements seem more definitive than they were presented.

That matches my experience in Canada too. Large hospital .. waited 4-6 hours in the ER (got triaged by a nurse the instant I entered). On the positive, they had a Tim Hortons in there.

GPs/specialists in the US see me instantly. In Canada, they would make me wait 45mins-hour. Waiting a bit isn't the end of the world IMO.

One time I had a pretty bad accident (in the US) .. I remember going home to pick up my damn insurance card before rushing to the ER in a cab. Of course ... despite the fact I was bleeding, the first thing the hospital attendant asked me for was my insurance.

I personally prefer the Canadian model over the US one.

Yeah read the article, and worked with hydroponics for a while. I choose not to eat food grown like this. Squeezing nature for yields is a sure way of depleting your resources. Factory farming like this in reality reduces nutrient levels. But hey I don't believe science is going to save the food chain. Which is why I'm taking my money elsewhere.

Regarding the story of feeding the world. How about the West changes their diet? We don't need to go all out right now on farming, we could fix obesity levels, healthcare cost, excess levels of waste before we need that. But that's not cool science, and there's a lot less profit to be made. So I guess that's not what's going to happen.
AIUI one of the main limitations was its design as a single-user OS, so it lacked memory protection - it was an essentially 1980s design, so it was not a step forward like OS/2 or WNT or OS X.

I think accepting the right of society to impose these limitations on individuals is accepting servility for everyone, and I find that enormously dangerous and harmful.

Something like this has never happened to me but I'll give you a less extreme example.

My manager explained the situation to me but it still doesn't make sense in hindsight.

There exists two companies in the US headquartered in two different cities. Some bankers buy both. Now the reason I bring it up is I wanted some fairly simple information about some configuration on one of the services that a team that came from the other company, based in a different city. First thing I try is message the person on Lync (imagine a shitty msn messenger). No response. I know you're online! I talked to my boss to see who else might be able to answer my question. He tried to get in touch with the other guy and cc'ed his boss. Radio silence.

A week later the other boss sends a forward. The other boss explains he had been on vacation for a week and didn't check his emails. The forward also has the answer from the other developer from a week prior.

We are not talking super secret missile launch codes. It is a fairly boring detail but the developer didn't hit reply all to the email, sending it only to his boss.

Ask HN: Good intro book on AI for a non-IT professional?
One of the projects I may be getting involved with at work has a strong AI component. Not only that but this is a topic that seems will only be if increasing importance in life. Is there any book/website that gives a good intro and/or current state of play of the field for someone who's a scientist but has never taken a CompSci class in their life? It's something I'm interested in, plus would rather not look like an idiot when talking to my colleagues.

I've sat through numerous courses on money laundering, and under none of the definitons used in any of those courses would transfering money from your savings account to your checking account to pay your visa bill be considered laundering, (unless the money in your savings account was acquired in a criminal way).

Check out the https://www.ffiec.gov/bsa%5Faml%5Finfobase/documents/regulat... Money Laundering Control Act of 1986. Every part of the definition requires the money be the proceeds or involved in a specified illegal activity.

> To follow and debug requests for example. How do you do that in a good way?

I'm assuming you mean "requests that involve multiple microservices"? And the answer there is simple for following - the first one involved tags the request and passes that tag on to all the subrequests. Easy to correlate across your logs. Debugging can be done in a similar way with a header saying "dump debug for this request" that's passed between services.

It doesn't matter whether the medallion is a safe investment or not. Wikipedia tells me a NYC medallion was worth around 500k in late 2016. Median household income in NYC is around 50k, so that's 10 whole years of gross salary.

The truth is that the average person is not able to afford to drive a taxi without renting the medallion. Even building equity on a quickly depreciating asset such as a car used for Uber is better in terms of not having to pay to work.

Also, a Uber loan would not be the only way to get a car to drive for Uber. Even if you have no means to finance the car for yourself, many more people own a Uber-suitable car than a taxi medallion, so the price you'd have to pay to work for Uber would in any case be lower.

The original discussion was whether Uber or taxis would be more worker-restrictive. I don't think driving a Uber gives total freedom, but I fail to see how driving a taxi is any better for the worker.

practically zero is 1.4 per 1000, the US is only at 1.7 per 1000. Norway might be able to lay claim to practically zero because the nations population is so small. A smaller number does not indicate it is solved, the per 1000 is the number to watch.

the majority of conditions you give for people falling through the cracks applies to the vast majority of Western countries. The world has a need to better mental health treatment. Cities in the US spend tens of millions and more to combat homelessness but it is not a simple problem.

there were stories about banning begging in Norway, I guess hiding a problem makes it go away. Don't fret, it is a practice many big American cities use as well, especially when large number of visitors are in town. hence the problem, we want to pretend it doesn't exist so we hide it
Anyone who tries to open the PDF with a naive parser will be affected.

For example, Google appears to crawl PDFs for their search index. If their crawlers crash after exhausting their memory limit, and if those failures trigger automatic retries, it would tie up a bunch of their resources they'd rather allocate elsewhere.

Some anti-virus scanners probably also try to open PDFs, so if you can crash them reliably, you'll be able to hide an actual malicious payload.
Show HN: Multi-threaded Opus and AAC encoding
This is embarrassing and supercilious.

The alarm-bells began to ring from the point at which I realised that the author thought too much of himself to bother to actually engage with any post-modernist. It's easy to impute a series of highly contrived 'rhetorical manoeuvres' to someone if you don't do the hard work of unpacking their thought.

As for the substantive first-order claims, it's hard to know where to even start.

The author describes the 'troll's truism' as an equivocal statement that rides on a truism to make wild claims that it cannot in fact support. When the wild claim is pushed, the proponent retreats to the truism. The truism here is social constructivism, and the wild claim that illicitly rides on this truism is the denial of a mind-independent world. First of all, I don't know in what possible sense social constructivism is a 'truism'. It only rose to any kind of institutional prominence during the 'linguistic turns' of the 20th century. And it probably remains - in philosophy departments, certainly - a minority position. I suppose that perhaps depends on what one takes to be social constructivism; but the brevity of the author's treatment does not allow for this kind of basic detail. The statement quoted from Fish is not 'trivial' in the least.

Second, the real question is the one that Wittgenstein struggled with between his early and late works: is language a device with a single veracious use for the naming of objects in the world, or is it something that is defined by its use as a protean tool of social communication among humans groups through historical time. I have never since any convincing response to Wittgenstein's defence of the latter in the Philosophical Investigations. And if that follows then, whether one has the ontological view that a mind-independent world exists, one is nevertheless committed to a form of linguistic contextualism, i.e. a given statement only has force relative to the criteria of language-use that prevails in the particular social context in which one is speaking. But the author simply collapses the ontological admission of a mind-independent world into an admission that linguistic contextualism has no epistemological purchase - which is completely not the case.

I can't be bothered to sift through the rest of the paper. The treatment of Foucault is especially vacuous.

P.S. I am not a post-modernist.

An important subtlety: JavaScript doesn’t use UTF-16 for its strings; it uses UCS-2 code units.

But internally, JavaScript engines can use whatever encoding they like, though most use UCS-2 most of the time. (Servo, for example, represents documents in WTF-8 rather than the conventional UCS-2. This is good for memory efficiency and certain other things, though bad for arbitrary indexing which is rare.)

Python 2 is in the same boat concerning internal representation (it will use UTF-16 much of the time), but it doesn’t expose any UTF-16ness in the API.
I mean technically if you are available to answer phone calls or emails, I think we should consider you are "working". I mean it is ridiculous to pay you by the hour at that point but if I didn't have to pay you by the hour, that's the criteria I'd use.

I think I read somewhere that somewhere in France or Germany some city or some department/province said you can't require your employees to promptly respond to emails outside of their work hours (I imagine they don't have "at-will" employment).

Finding a solution to the returns of labor vs capital would essentially solve the worker v employer phenomenon. (See: basically anything piketty has ever written).

Right now, labor is double taxed. You are taxed in the form of your time and mental energy to perform it, as well as on your return by the government. Accounting for the time tax of labor and putting the combined tax on par with capital taxation would go a long way to correcting this imbalance.

So the US manages to have mandatory rehab without public healthcare. The two are really not related.
> the counter-argument would be that state-sponsored coverage involves taking money from people without their consent (taxes)

I hate this argument, taxes are a fact of life in society, you're going to pay them and the only question is where are they being spent. If instead of spending so much on the military, some of that budget was spent on healthcare, than maybe there wouldn't even be a need for higher taxes.

But instead of lobbying for their taxes being spent appropriately at home, many in the US seem happy with going to sovereign countries instead of taking care of their own citizens.

There never seems to be a concern if you have money for the next invasion, but when it comes to healthcare or education, where's the money going to come from? (To be fair, it's not just the US that has this problem, but it is certainly one of the worst examples.)

Yeah, I think you need to parse the popular expression of vague post-modernist thought in political debate from the philosophical proponents of post-modernism. You ought not infer the emptiness of the second from the emptiness of a lot of the first. There are a lot of very bad arguments in circulation about POV epistemology, e.g. you should not be able to speak to an issue given your sociological standpoint. That is very reductive / simplistic, obviously.
The credibility of his own perspective on this matter is pretty fundamental to the basis of his perspective and his quote. I'm not taking to disparate events or characteristics and using it to dismiss what he's saying, quite the opposite actually -- I'm saying he's dismissing others, poorly understands what is actually being discussed, and is "misquoting" what other people are actually stating. It's not a fallacy.

I could have called it ignorance, but that'd require he demonstrate some unfamiliarity with the subject, which he clearly isn't all that unfamiliar with it.

It is strange that his his "quote" is getting a free pass, despite it not having any backing to it what so ever.
