> What is the difference between a "rule" and a "mistake"?

Your question is answered directly in Pullum's article, at length. He even gives a separate explicit example of the who-whom distinction and explains how it works and how to think about it. There is a clear reason for why this is not arbitrary.
Sure, but you're building strings in memory. It might not be a lot of memory, especially if you're able to run Python, but the native `yes` command can run on the smallest of embedded systems, which is why its speed is impressive.
> The materials problem is the thermal expansion of the top of the tube relative to the bottom.

What exactly is the problem here? Is it because the top of the tube is exposed to direct sunlight? I thought it was supposed to be covered in solar panels anyway. Is it still a materials science problem if the tubes are shaded, because providing a structure that shades something with expansion from direct sunlight exposure seems quite a bit easier than to do so while trying to keep vacuum to a particular level.

Yes, I think the trend is driven by, ultimately, digital distribution.

I don't think we would have independent developers without digital distribution. It allows small developers and publishers to create games with a smaller scope than AAA games, and to sell them for less. I think this is allowed because of the reduced logistics of digital distribution versus physical.

But smaller scope will also mean smaller teams - sometimes even just one or two developers. A sprite-based, retro-ish game is much more realistic for a handful of developers to finish in a reasonable time.

Personally, I greatly enjoy the graphics that tend more to the 16-bit, SNES era

The IRS is most certainly giving Equifax data or they wouldn't have sent inspectors there to verify the integrity of IRS data.

The moral might be that hubris along with billions in cash can accomplish the things the person with hubris set out to do.
Yes, but that requires some group to agree on this and to run new code, even if it only removes the difficulty bomb. This is not as trivial as you make it out to be, especially because some individuals that may disagree with the 'main' development branch may also still value the difficulty bomb.

It's obvious that this does not prevent disagreement about the protocol, but it greatly affects a fairly large class of disagreements and changes the incentives for a variety of behaviors. It's all game theory, and as such minor changes to the premise of a 'game' can have large impacts on how it plays out.

It's not perfect, but I think it is good.

> you can probably solve that with a bucket of white paint. Worst case you cover it with an aluminum shield- aluminum does not absorb infrared radiation and will reflect 99.9% of ambient heat

It's, unfortunately, harder than this. It's a similar problem to the ones we dealt with regarding rockets, standing fueled, on a pad. Both methods you propose were tried. The solution is to (a) paint it and (b) launch before the gradient becomes too big.

The stresses on the Hyperloop tube, when a capsule is rushing through it while it's containing a near vacuum, are comparable to those on a rocket nearing max Q [1]. The difference is with a rocket we take great care to maintain symmetry. With the Hyperloop, that isn't an option. That persistent asymmetry is what makes it a difficult materials problem, particularly if we're using any known metals (even wonderful light and thermally-conductive aluminium).

I'm not able to locate the links, but I've read that academic studies of twitter users misclassified AAVE-speakers as "non-English speakers" with sufficient ubiquity as to nearly or completely exclude black Americans from the supposedly inclusive studies.

>Also, keep in mind that the point of language is to communicate. So long as that goal is being achieved, what's the problem?

Because it's a language that pretty much means that they're illiterate and can't actually be understood by normal people. With the other party having to employ mental gymnastics to understand. Let's not beat around the bush here.

Not to mention that this "dialect" obscures the intelligence level of the speaker. This will definitely have a negative effect on their opportunities in life.

Hi everyone. Founder here. Thanks for the feedback, and I admit, there are a lot of things that we can improve. We have focused more on the technology, and soon are going to update most of the documentation and FAQ.
I'm not sure you read my response. I'm not saying that "it wouldn't be fun" to move away. I'm saying that, for a huge swath of the residents of these areas, it's practically impossible. Logistically and financially, impossible.

You're making a raft of assumptions -- they have the means to ride out a period of unemployment, or can afford the extra travel required to reach a new job in a healthy area; they can afford to rent in a healthy market; their skills transfer; they don't have a family member in long-term care in the area; they are not on a fixed income; et cetera -- because, as you say, you don't remember very well what it's like to be poor.

And that's OK.

I understand why you make those assumptions, and I'm happy so many people have the privilege to do so. The shitty things poor people have to put up with are all but invisible unless you're poor. Poverty has a stigma in the US that prevents us from talking openly about these issues. But once you see them, it's frustrating to hear someone say, "But [leaving] is part of being an adult," as if staying in a shitty, crime-ridden, failing municipality is a personal choice.

I want to emphasize this point: If you see people living in a one of these places -- drinking lead-infused water, sending their kids to skeletal schools, miles from an operating hospital, with intermittent emergency services, with no trash pickup, etc -- remind yourself that it's extremely unlikely they're there by choice.
Eh, still prefer physical media when buying movies. This way you can't ever have the rights taken away to watch it (which just happened to me with a show I purchased digitally on Amazon).

(not to mention physical media is usually cheaper, you can loan them, sell them, servers are never down for maintenance, etc.)
Reminds me, Im just as guilty. Check out my insights on Amazon introducing the Kindle: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=81804
At this pressure you can use regular o-rings, which already come in standard sizes up to a dozen meters across. They're very affordable. I still doubt they'll be necessary.
google absolutely sucks at it, probably because they don't see any value in it given their user base (everyone) and lack of competition.

A little walk down memory lane:

> I'm feeling fairly jaded right now and half-considering switching to an iPhone and away from a lot of Google services because Apple seems to at least half-care about privacy.

Exactly my stance. I am sure Apple is shady as well but it's my opinion (partially supported by numerous stories here on HN) that Google collects and sells anything they can get their hands on.

I'm buying iPhone X for me and my girlfriend (when it finally comes out). We already have iPad Pros. We'll just go full Apple except the gaming PCs. We will change all passwords from inside one of the iDevices as an additional security measure. Most likely gonna use YubiKey 4 as well -- although I am still not informed enough to make the decision.

Already using DuckDuckGo 95% of the time -- sadly it is not as good as Google but really, most of the time it gives me what I need. Still not sure Firefox is up to the task to replace Chrome, but I'm keeping an eye out and using the beta (Quantum).

End-game is gonna be to replace Gmail with something else.

I feel I can't trust Google with telling me the time these days so I am migrating away from them.

Quake III Arena (Graeme Devine) was a fantastic game, although Doom 3 and RAGE weren't particularly inspiring.

A mistake is made from ignorance or carelessness. It is individual and won't be shared, at least not widely. A rule is applied intentionally and consistently, and it can get wide support. Importantly, making up new rules does not indicate a mental or moral deficiency like making lots of mistakes might.
Is this just a digital locker for movies? Other HN comments seem excited about this but I think it will be irrelevant for most users. When I used to digitally buy/rent movies, I would watch them that same day and then be done, so a "locker" feels like an insignificant problem. Maybe I have uncommon usage.

Netflix is brain-dead easy to use. I don't always know what I want to watch so I browse and can watch anything. Movies Anywhere sounds like more work than it's worth.

Looking into this earlier today, turns out there's a thriving aftermarket niche of sites reselling grey-market Ultraviolet codes.

Unlike Steam code resellers these aren't primarily sourced from credit card fraud. Instead, collectors purchase Blu-rays for their own use and then resell the digital license, recouping some of their costs. There are also Redbox operators and the like reselling those codes.

Anyway, long story short, you can generally purchase an Ultraviolet HD code for a movie you want to watch for approximately the same price as renting it, and you get to keep it forever. I can't vouch for any of these sites personally but there are various communities on Reddit and elsewhere that offer that function.

And now with Movies Anywhere, if you link to both Vudu and iTunes, and it's one of the participating studios, you get a license for the 4k HDR movie too. Not too shabby.
>The largest vacuum chamber we've built is a fraction of the size of the proposed Hyperloop. It was a very, very hard problem [1].

Do we really have to say that a long extruded tube that only has to maintain low vacuum is a lot simpler than the SPS?

SPS: big thing made up of many custom one-off parts that runs at 1/380,000,000ths of an atmosphere and can blast test articles with intense simulated sunlight.

Hyperloop tunnel: big thing made up of many identical parts that runs at 1/1,000ths of an atmosphere.

>It's expensive, sucks up loads and loads of power

I think they know that, don't you? There's no line-by-line breakdown, but the paper allocates $260 million for the station+pumps and 21 MW for electricity consumption (pumping, accelerating pods, and charging pod batteries).

>needs lots of thermal management

I agree that you need it, but what specific problem do you see?

>Pipes are pressurized from the inside. See my comment from elsewhere in the thread on why vacuums are different [2].

You said a soda can is stronger when pressurized from the inside. That's true, but the obvious solution is to make it thicker than a soda can. :) The paper calls for 0.8-1.0 inch thick steel, which my math says is more than adequate.

Thanks.

EDIT I just saw the link below about CCNUMA.
I like that idea. It's also true that a field like game development, which is both collaborative and interdisciplinary, pretty much requires excellent communication skills. Being a game designer is less about having amazing "ideas" or "vision" (everyone has those) and more about your ability to align everyone's ideas and vision in the same direction.

Personally, I prefer to describe "thinking about manipulating people's emotions" as _empathy_, but that's just me.

The point where you’re selling private property to your company is the moment you really really really want to talk to a good tax accountant in germany. If you sell above reasonable price it’s considered tax fraud (verdeckte Gewinnentnahme) and the reasonable price is likely to be a point of contention between you and the tax authorities. Unless you haven very valuable machinery you want to place into the company it’s usually not worth it and in this case you’d want a third party to certify the price. You can, however, pay yourself a reasonable wage and there are pretty clear guidelines on what’s considered reasonable. Much cleaner and easier.

Personal liability is a bit a complicated topic. If you’re a pure shareholder, your liability ends with the value of the shares. If you’re at the same time the only shareholder and the CEO and only employee you can be liable for quite a few things. (Social security, taxes, damages for your personal actions, anything that constitutes fraud, ...)

How can we trust any of the analytics coming out of mainland China? Can you be 100% positive that Toutiao is not controlled by the Chinese government? They can easily funnel all internet traffic to Toutiao and control it, and use it to their advantage. Curate the news to whatever way they want.

Toutiao is a privately owned company held in Beijing. Am I being paranoid? They can claim machine learning (and they probably do). However, until we can be 100% certain the Chinese government is not involved, I wouldn't personally trust any of the stats.

And even in the compiler itself there's plenty of work to be done that doesn't even come close to the LLVM and that have mentoring instructions[1]. The point of entry that I personally found successful when starting to contribute was modifying and expanding the compiler's diagnostic output[2], as it gives you something to grep for and work it out from there.

Also, be aware that beyond just asking questions in the issue tracker and on the official #rust IRC channel, each Working Group has a room on gitter[3] where there are people more than eager to help any newcomers.

My advice would be to look out for anything that you might find interesting, ask for help whenever you get stuck and just read the code. There's plenty of opportunities to make an impact[4] :)

Kids.
Alt-account for privacy. I'm one of the Ebonics kids (Titans where you at?!).

I'd like to add in some context. This all happened during the dot com boom in the late 90s, and things weren't unlike they are now -- massive economic expansion, uneven distribution of benefits, rapidly rising cost of living. Teachers were getting priced out and demanded a raise. The district couldn't afford it, so they asked the fed for ESL funds.

Long story short: funds were denied, teachers went on strike, many of the better ones left the district at the end of the year, and the quality of education received by myself and my peers suffered for it.

Do keep in mind that this is all from the recollections and understanding of my teenage self.

Delayed Gratification – The Slow Journalism Magazine
I submitted a complaint to the CFPB requiring [1] Equifax to remove my credit record, due to their proven incompetence at protecting that data (citing their breech, several congresspeople grilling their CEO on CSPAN, etc). Its been 9 days and I haven't heard back from the CFPB yet (Equifax has 15 days to respond and up to 60 days to provide a final response), but Equifax has my complaint and even if it goes nowhere, it gives me something to hand over to Elizabeth Warren's office to show I have no control over my personal data and I have no control over having it removed regardless of how incompetent Equifax is.

Fingers crossed someone with Equifax's data dump starts dumping the data of Equifax senior management.
