The US (and China) have the advantage of a large homogenous market. That's probably one of the main reason why Google, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and others originated in the US.
> There may not be a good solution for this problem in the general case.

Surely the good solution is: decide whether you want to be 'family-friendly' at the expense of suppressing valid but possibly offensive art, or 'expression-friendly' at the expense of losing easily offended parents, and then do that. No technical solutions to identifying nudity involved. (I'd say YouTube's decision is "don't offend anybody", which is, of course, not really a decision.)

How to Reduce the Impact of Stateful Code
To paint a less rosy picture, many countries are good at keeping out US based tracking / social media monopolies because they want to support their own tracking / social media monopolies. It's kind of a "well, duh" moment that China is going to support its own Internet services rather than let that data be collected by people in the United States.

Russia has a similar government-backed Internet services ecosystem going on, although they dropped the ball on blogging and wound up having to do a complex operation to buy Livejournal (where all the Russians were) and move the servers to Russian territory.
> Sum types don't just store values of different types.

That's exactly what a tagged union does. std::variant is a tagged union. I was not aware of the name 'sum type' but it's supposed to be a synonim for a tagged union. Guess not, but std::variant is not meant as what you describe[1].

If you're like me and you find outdoor/active brands offerings look too tactical, and prefer a more casual design, I'd check out Everlane: https://www.everlane.com

Here's one of their smaller bags: https://www.everlane.com/products/mens-street-nylon-zip-back...

And you can also learn about where that particular bag is made: https://www.everlane.com/factories/nylon-bags

In my experience, with their transparent pricing, the quality is unparalleled for the money and it's great to support ethically sourced goods.

Having a robot car pick me up at my house and drop me off at work is far more efficient than me having to drive to a train station, wait for the train, switch to the subway, wait for that train, then walk to work. It could be picking up an dropping off people on the way, it doesn't have to be a solo vehicle. If you think about congestion as the number of people in transit at any point, this should reduce it.

It would also reduce concentration because you wouldn't have people clustering homes and work around transit stations, it would be more spread out.
Seems like Github might be affected as well? Can't comment or merge PRs.
Virtual environments are not just for conflicting requirements. I write code for clients on my laptop and don't want to clog up my packages directory with project specific libraries that I'll never use myself. Once the project is done and I turn code over to a client, I can delete the virtual env and all the installed libraries. Virtual envs also allow me to have multiple versions of Python installed on my machine.

This discussion is a lot like version control. How many people made daily (hourly) duplicates of project folders before learning the benefits of version control?
Why is TypeScript so much less efficient than JavaScript?

The brute power relationships underpinning landownership ultimately distill down to military power, and landownership is determined that way.

No amount of institutional complexity can negate this fact. Land is necessary for all production and for all life. Control of land enables the owner to demand a rent, and to demand it in whatever form the landowner wishes.

That form could be as terrible or as optimal as conceivable, but that choice is ultimately up to the sovereign. None of your traits for optimal money matter by comparison. Those factors will surely enter into the consideration of any wise sovereign currency issuer, but only if they are wise.

The currency that is demanded could be a cryptocurrency, although a sovereign currency issuer would be foolish to ever choose that, and would put them at a strategic disadvantage during war.
And going through airport security is a hassle, whereas time spent sitting on a train is time you can use to get work done. A train also is much less cramped than a plane, has better Internet access generally (you can just tether), and is probably less likely to be delayed.
true, but some internal AWS features themselves rely on S3 and apparently us-east-1. Those are hosed right now, too. You can't even modify bucket metadata via AWS Console or cli tools. So like checking permissions or logging right now is not possible, or CloudTrail.
Addendum: then again, you could use Python to do that.
Legitimately curious about this:

"Throughout the day, the lawyers field questions from a roster of start-up clients looking to execute routine legal tasks, like fundraising from venture capitalists and issuing stock options to employees. Engineers watch the dealings closely, extracting bits of information from the conversations and the documents exchanged.

So what happens to client-lawyer privilege, if engineers are watching / listening in / reading? Isn't that automatically waived, and isn't this a problem?

(Edit: formatting)
The sum type, which the author is talking about, is not the same as "discriminated union" pattern, the latter being the crude implementation of the former.

It really comes from functional languages like ML, and is extremely useful and convenient when combined with pattern matching. In fact, attempts to emulate it in OOP using interfaces and visitor pattern tend to bring a lot of boilerplate, and obscure the actual logic, which is exactly what the author is complaining about.

There's definitely more reason to use it than just "efficiency gain", which is why many languages introduced in the last decade have it built in (e.g. Rust, Scala or Swift).
> "Sum types". Hey, let's give an old concept a new name.

Sum type has been the standard functional programming language term for this concept since at least the 1970s, perhaps earlier.

If you're serving a static site out of S3, put Cloudflare (ugh) in front of it and enable the feature to serve your cached content when the origin is down [1]. When S3 goes sideways, as everyone is learning, it goes down hard and you're probably not going to be able to make changes to objects, read object metadata, etc.

We have to end this system based on profits and create other institutions based on rights and how to achieve those rights for everyone. Capitalism has failed!
When serving files from s3, if you care about availability it's worth using your own subdomain rather than pointing directly at S3. You can't have a subdomain point to different buckets in different regions directly, but you can point your subdomain to a CDN and have your CDN's origin point to different buckets in different regions.

Quick tip for those using static (jekyll, hugo...) sites on s3: If you have cloudflare in front of it, you can turn on aggressive html caching by creating a page rule: example.com/* => Cache level => Cache everything

This downtime made me realize we weren't caching any html on cloudflare. I just turned it on and all our static sites are doing fine now (and our bills are smaller!).

If you're fancy you can even programmatically purge the cache when you do CI deploys using the cloudflare API.

Yes, it is a much larger discount than normal. In reality it is a disguised punishment for paying late but cauched in nicer terms. The bill paying arm of a companyee prefers to effectively borrow money from people they owe for 30 days. It isn't because they can't pay promptly. The $50hr difference changes that calculus for them. I did have a client that couldn't get its act together and pay promptly and I was actually happy to get paid late - at the higher rate.

As for the rate, I'm a software developer with a skill set that, while not in high demand, is rare enough to let me charge $20 more than I was being billed out at 10 years ago (of which I would get half).

As far a losing clients based on the rate: It hasn't happened yet but if it did, that would be a good thing. A client who can't appreciate/profit from the value I bring to the table is a client I don't want. I just don't want to work for a client I can't make happy. That just doesn't do anyone any good and since my reputation is livelihood, I actually can't afford to make unhappy customers.
Dunno... I had childhood friends calling for the white supremacists to please come march in Oakland. Imagine the carnage, repercussions and tensions that would come from that.

I don't know what you think the precursors to a civil war looks like, but between ignored Occupy protesters' issues, the Tea Party being co-opted into an anti-abortion group with their original complaints being ignored, and the BLM movement that grew out of Ferguson feeling ignored by those in power, the U.S.A. isn't exactly super stable at the moment. There is a huge group of people who feel (rightly or otherwise) that they have genuine grievances and are willing to get arrested for it.

What spark would be required to light this flame?
In this system the RF source you are sending is effectively the IF component for the sensor's Tx chain. Because it is so high power and such a clean pilot tone, the sensor can eliminate it's IF generating oscillator and output amplifier by just mixing the data onto the receive pilot tone and retransmitting it. This is how the sensor is made so cheap and low power. If the pilot tone was cyphered, it wouldn't mean the data was. That is, you could recover the unencrypted data if you recorded a copy of the pilot by mixing. There is also the issue that, because the pilot tone provides the power to the sensor's carrier, any spreading of it's spectrum, which is what random xor encoding does, makes it harder to recover and use as the IF component for the sensor's radio chain. The last issue here is that the CSS standard does not allow this sort of non-linear modulation.

All that said, it's not a fundamentally bad idea. Pseudo-random xor encoding of signals is a technique used all the time to increase orthoganality between signals for a variety of encoding schemes.

>You also end up with a mess of VBScript code that isn't versioned. When something breaks and someone calls IT, it really helps if IT knows the system exists.

This is one reason why (I guess) largish companies even have or create apps to manage other apps - like an app to manage (as in know about, not really manage as in monitor) all the other apps in the company. Like a list of apps app. Initially I wondered whether it was overkill but later realized that at that scale, such automation can be useful. But I guess it can go to the other extreme too and become a time sink.
From what I understand, there isn't any financial risk for someone using this? I.e. since their payment is contingent on you winning?
Depending on the context, it might be a good idea to use the probabilistic approach: feed it a predefined number of variables and see if the results match.

A similar method is used in matrices to compute AB =? C in O(n^2) time (you check a predefined number of rows). You get O(n^2.something) if you do the actual multiplication
Proofs and explanations are not always the same. Proofs depend on logic and rigor, while explanations depend on the audience. Mathematics and pedagogy are not usually considered to be closely related areas of study. And yet universities make mathematicians teach mathematics.

Are they the best teachers? No. No, they are not. But they are the only ones that understand the subject matter well enough to do it. And that leads to the vicious cycle where you have to think like a mathematician in order to learn math from one, because they have difficulty explaining anything to any other type of person. A student that needs an explanation gets a proof, which is technically correct, but still fails to elucidate.

I think some kinds of math are fun and interesting, but proving the math is [currently] less than 1% of my job, and I have never had to worry about precision that would underflow a 64-bit floating point double.

Take another look at the whole thread tree, originating at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15236430 , and look at the posts by "zelah". Realize that all the responses made them realize that they got something wrong somewhere, but it looks like they are still as confused as ever, and probably net negative karma from being wrong on the Internet and not knowing why.

My original goal was to help zelah understand, and I failed. My secondary goal was to play the game alluded to by lisper, who essentially said I cheated. There is nothing left for me to accomplish here. I wasn't trying to be pissy and storm out the door in a cloud of drama, but rereading, it seems like that's probably the simplest interpretation of my last post. So... sorry for that.

Here's what I take from that (emphasis mine):

> "Apple has never worked with any government agency from any country to create a “backdoor” in any of our products or services. We have also never allowed any government access to our servers. And we never will."

IMO Turning over data they have stored in response to government requests while working to reduce the data they have access to is rather different from using it to build profiles about their customers and sell their eyeballs to third parties.
Our buckets are there, just we cannot GET content, with error messages about reducing the rate.

> ... track you everywhere and then use that against you in ads.

This sentiment is really interesting. Thinking that ads are overtly antagonistic, that they are an "attack" of sorts I guess makes sense. And then when Google or FB enables advertisers it's seen as an affront.

I am interested in why there aren't similar levels of vitriol for, say, NBC/ABC/CBS or any TV broadcaster for enabling the ads that they show us.

Capitalist institutions like the US Army can't deliver what the human needs, only another social system can deliver it.
I still think the key is raising the collective intelligence. Not that smart people are always productive, but they are capable of being so.

So long as the average human is just barely sapient, we aren't going to be collectively achieving much. It's always exceptional individuals who have great achievements.

Average people don't really do much. Nothing personal against being average, of course, it's just not sufficient for great achievement.

I think intelligence augmentation, such as neural lace and Neuralink, is a step in the right direction.

Those sound like talking points to me and I'm aware that my comments probably sound the same since I didn't present sources for my claims.

As far as not having bipartisan support, the republicans did get concessions but really didn't seem to want to contribute and haven't really tried to do anything on their own while they were in charge (unless you can point to a reasonable proposal that was shot down by the left). On top of that, claims that the recent proposals were as secretive or anti-bipartisan as the ACA don't seem to hold up [0].

I can't present a truly objective truth that I think will convince you, but there are a few misleading things about the ACA that make it seem more unstable than it really is. Overall I think one basic failing is that the penalty for being uninsured is too low, causing to few healthy people to enter the market that essentially subsidize the unhealthy (which is pretty much how all insurance works at some level). Insurance companies were essentially promised tons of new customers who could offset the fact that they now have to offer plans that actually have coverage (and therefore cost them more). Because of this, they are largely still making money but less money than they were and want. This means they don't have much incentive to make the ACA work and might actively work to destroy it to continue making record profits in an unsustainable way [1]. Not only that, but some of the premium increases come from uncertainty around whether the ACA will continue [2], or whether the government will continue to make subsidy payments that were promised [3].

I don't expect any of this to convince you but hopefully it makes my arguments seem less opinionated. I think about it the same way I think about software, I cannot imagine having to design and build such a system with the adversarial system we have knowing that you have to do it in a couple years and the other party is going to work against you and then try to dismantle the system after you are gone. Expecting to not have to have to make changes over time to fix unforeseen problems seems totally unreasonable to me.
