> What needs to be questioned is the entire model of the protestant work ethic style industrial society, and how a transition to a post-industrial, maybe post-capitalist society, could occur.

Good luck with that. I apologize for my pessimism, but try as I might, I can't envision a society where the extreme concentration of production capacity results in anything but a few oligarchs and billions of near-starving peasants.

The reason for this is that's not that far from today's world. I mean, the majority of the world's population lives in poverty, or fairly close to it. About one in nine people live in such abject poverty they don't have enough to eat (while many rich countries deal with an obesity epidemic).

Given the state of the world, you think we would able to devise a society where at least everyone has enough to eat - after all, the richest people in society would probably barely feel the impact of at least sharing enough so everyone can eat. Given that, I find it difficult to believe that the extreme concentration of wealth and power that technology allows will result in some sort of nirvana where we all get to take pottery classes and write poetry. The very richest will hoard their wealth and power like humans have throughout history.
If you are aware of the movements(运动) in the ruling party's history, the effort to cleanse is nothing new. But we did not see that for a while.

Today is tomorrow's history. Compared with yesterday, today is not that different from yesterday. But history does not simply repeat itself, either.
I would assume so, that it’d be akin to a strong one-shot antidepressant. Psilocybin is quickly metabolised to psilocin, which binds to serotonin receptors. It might be more of a risk for a bad trip, though, unless you have good dream control.

Also, you’d definitely need to be rendered unconscious, haha—I can’t imagine trying to sleep naturally on mushrooms, although when I take them I always have the most beautifully restful sleep after coming down.

Show HN: Shorty, a small URL shortening service built on gRPC
Hi HN, author here.

This is a small URL shortener that we wrote with Node.js, served with gRPC. There's nothing special about it, but I've had a few people ask how I use gRPC, so I decided to start open-sourcing some of our general-purpose repos that use gRPC.

I'd appreciate some feedback :)
Then nobody will make them. Their prices would be even more astronomical than they already are without the large subsidies they receive.
You seem confused. They aren't mining bitcoins, but Monero which is relatively efficient to mine on CPU, and another new one called JSEcoin which appears to have been designed specifically for efficient mining in javascript.
Chest beating is a thing in the USA also, some of our block buster movies can be like that.
Yep, was thinking the same thing. It's a supplement. They sell your data and waste your electricity. But you forgot another part, which is the wear on your hardware.
As I understand it, coinhive uses Monero, a crytocurrency that is hard to mine on GPUs.

From coinhive.com:
Monero is different. To mine Monero, you have to calculate hashes with an algorithm called Cryptonight. This algorithm is very compute heavy and – while overall pretty slow – was designed to run well on consumer CPUs.

There are solutions to run the Cryptonight algorithm on a GPU instead, but the benefit is about 2x, not 10000x like for other algorithms used by Bitcoin or Ethereum. This makes Cryptonight a nice target for JavaScript and the Browser.

Of course, when running through JavaScript performance still takes a bit of a toll, but it's not that bad. Our miner uses WebAssembly and runs with about 65% of the performance of a native Miner. For an Intel i7 CPU (one of the fastest desktop CPUs) you should see a hashrate of about 90h/s. A native miner would get to 140h/s.
Plenty of people make money off generics. Even with lower market share you can charge slightly higher prices, but not too high or someone else will undercut. Today they have a monopoly.
Man, that's rough. I know there is good reason to get rid of dead weight, but two things:

1. I had no idea dead weight would be allowed to exist at Tesla.

2. I believe dead weight can be redeemable, if you put in the right effort --not the procedural PIP stuff (which is about improvement as much as incarceration is about rehabilitation) but I mean real effort to rehabilitate a worker. Maybe too much effort for a high flying co.
Take the money. Programming is one career where, for many firms, experience still trumps academic credentials. Get a programming job, succeed at it, stay there a couple of years, and barring some major change in the macro-economic environment, you won't have much trouble finding other jobs even without a H.S. diploma or college degree. That said, it wouldn't hurt to complement your experience with some academic credentials, even if only an associate degree from the local community college. As somebody else said, consider night classes if you can.

You can also look at taking Coursera, EdX, Udacity, etc. courses to help fill out your resume. They might not count "as much" as a regular degree to some employers, but as somebody who is very involved in reviewing resumes, interviewing, and influencing hiring decisions, I can tell you that they are considered at some companies, including at least one very large computer company you've definitely heard of.

Though it's expecting the audience to know what that means. I would expect that a greater number of them would understand it than in the general population but I would think there'd be plenty who don't.

FWIW, I'm quite aware of what d&d is but I don't know what "chaotic neutral" means.
All of the patterns? No.

I think Command and Iterator have merit.

Visitor is useful if you are in Java since you don't have union types or pattern matching.
I agree with you - the threshold for what is engaging and what is over-engaging is not really very defined. That's where my thoughts from evolutionary psychology come, since it gives a way to define that threshold. Basically anything that is way beyond what we would have experienced 70k years ago might be best viewed with caution.
I have to say, life in academia does not sound appealing...
Good to know. But I bet Xi is able to hide a lot of his real thoughts and feelings from many, esp. someone is in the US. I would suggest to read some information about his father's experience in those movements(运动). And you'll have a better idea why many of his family are outside of China. And how strong and capable he is to be able to reestablish everything from the bottom.
Certainly 10 specific cases would be an easy find right? Seriously go look. You can't find them. Studies like this claim cases like "well if we found this cancer earlier" but I'm looking for "he couldn't afford this drug so he died". Should be millions of them according to the rhetoric.
To refine your question further[0]: is this an effect of the psychological experience of tripping on mushrooms, or is this a physiological effect of the drug itself?

In either case, it may explain some habitual drugs users who are actually self-medicating. It could be that in a few years, they're doing the exact same thing but with a prescription to make it all morally upstanding.

[0]Correct me if I'm misunderstanding.
Human nature really. The moment you transition from applying common sense to a formal set of rules, there are always some people ready to abuse it. One of the well-known historical anecdote would be the cobra effect [1], I guess.

A more recent example is how whiteboard programming questions during interviews turned out to be ineffective because it indicated how well a candidate rehearsed this type of questions, rather than their programming abilities.

Yes, it would still work because the current hypothesis is that it's the resulting increase in neurogenesis which is responsible for the amelioration of depression.

Neurogenesis in general seems to be inversely proportional to experiences of depression.

Yup, worst decision ever. I’ve been using Firefox but performance drastically drops when debugging so I go back to using chrome. I just prefix my logging and filter.
I think is called "Emacs" ?

Jokes aside, you could probably call this a "desktop environment" and communicate most of the meaning. What remains is either a "virtual machine"[1], "runtime system", or something along those lines.

Don't people usually end making changes to the Unreal Engine executable and tie their game to it? As far as I know, it's not possible for me to take the Unreal Engine source code, compile it possibly with modifications, and play arbitrary Unreal Engine games with it (like say Gears of War 4).
I saw an addon for Firefox that does that a couple days ago. I think you can do the same thing with filters in uBlock Origin though, but if you don't use an adblocker, it might be useful.

The majority of wealthy people became that way by some combination of lying, cheating, stealing, fraud, misrepresentation, intimidation (extortion and/or blackmail), market manipulation, insider trading, aggressive selling to vulnerable people such as seniors, etc...... If you succeed on Wall Street, you're most likely engaging in that behavior. Do people actually think that most of these billionaires added billions in value? That every exchange is voluntary and makes each side better off? Is the old lady with dementia who unknowingly signed up to a terrible annuity "better off". Was the woman with dementia a "sucker" for signing up and placing trust in the broker? The ethical way to become rich is largely by inventing or innovating. Corporate raiders such as Kravis, Icahn and Peltz are very far from being moral. Arguably sociopaths with a mean streak. Surprised with the naive posts.
I believe in some places community colleges will accept you even without a H.S. diploma / G.E.D., although some "remedial" courses may be required depending on test scores. In theory it's possible to get a college degree without ever having earned a H.S. diploma first. Heck, as far as that goes, I believe it's possible - in principle - to get a Ph.D. without getting a H.S. diploma, or anything else, first although it would certainly be a rare accomplishment.[1]

Wow love to here the inside scoop on this. Anyone from Tesla want to comment. Accountability for late shipments?
There is not control on what you run in your browser, that is a known problem. Javascript is usually throttled while the page is in the background (correct me if I'm wrong) because of this.

This might get interesting when OpenCL like stuff allows access to the GPU. Else I think it's hardly worth serving the miner. And it's obviously black hat (sneakily taking your user's power and cycles).

The 500 million people figure is founded on whose statistics? I'd like to pre-emptively call bs. The list of supposedly offending sites are all totally shitty fringe sites. I checked a few, adblock off. A few of those few had CPU activity, profiler immediately showed multithreaded CryptoNight. Page performance was shit.

This seems like an advertisement for their adblocker, which, oddly, is a downloadable .exe.

Everyone running that installer is liable to lose all the cryptocurrency he accesses through that computer. Just sayin'.

The .CSV list someone offers instead of the weblink (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ysujhza_qRWHu_ulyWNy...) might also be exploited.
To give a scale, Tesla has more than 30 000 employees [1]. That is just a little above 1%.

Javascript is disabled out of the box in Tor Browser if I remember correctly. At least it should be.
> Studies like this claim cases like "well if we found this cancer earlier" but I'm looking for "he couldn't afford this drug so he died".

Why do you think that first group doesn't matter?

You're hunting for cases where a person with an acute condition fell down and died on the spot because money-grubbing doctors callously refused to give them medicine. That doesn't usually happen in the US, because hospitals are required to administer emergency care without advance payment. That doesn't help the tens of thousands of people who have to choose between getting a checkup and paying the rent, or the checkup doc refers them to a specialist that costs $10,000, or they feel shitty after an accident but they know the bill for the emergency room visit will bankrupt them; so they gamble that it'll get better on its own, and by the time it's clear that it won't, it's too late for emergency care to save them.
It’s interesing that the company can just decide not to report this as a mass layoff. While the performance reasons for letting someone go may be true, it seems like an easily exploitable loophole.

Model 3 production rates were missed by a wide margin, so at least a few people should have known that management would react.
I'm not the author of ZeroNet btw, just in case you think I am.

Each site has an area for user content. That is content not generated by the site owner. Users of the site that generate content (posts in a forum or comments on a blog for example) write their content into that area which is a directory for them based on the public key of their pseudo-anonymous identity. The user then signs the data with their private key and this gets sent to other site users through the seeding mechanism. All this is hidden by the API so the user of a site doesn't see the public/private key signing, etc.
I don’t think it’s analogous. While the music you listen to can offer an insight into your mood and state of mind, practically all music we listen to today is composed by artists, and none originates from everyday people. There are no songs from secretaries or bakers or cashiers or programmers lamenting or celebrating life.

In contrast to our popular music that is created by a small number of (often the same) people and distributed commercially (forced on the populace), slave music seems to be analogous to what is described in the article. It originated directly from affected people and helps them to vent, gather hope and strength and let’s them dream.

I wonder what future historians will say about our music. In my opinion, popular music is crafted to create superficial desires that can’t be fulfilled and lead to more consumption because of feelings of inadequacy.
It's on our list!

But initially, if you have say 20 years of SAS, then yea, SAS will be easier for you and it may or may not be worth switching to R.

And then would people need to have some tokens to interact on a Colony, and they'd buy the token on an exchange? That requires another account on something like Coinbase, and a wallet?

Once someone has it all set up, a wallet and a secure way to store their private keys to access their tokens, it could be pretty easy to interact with a Colony, but I imagine for there to be network effects on colony.io this might require some catalyst? Maybe an external event, some financial crisis to move a large enough number of people around the world to using crypto?

"Tesla has a hearing before the National Labor Relations Board in November for charges that company supervisors and security guards harassed workers distributing union literature. Tesla denied the accusations. Openly pro-union workers were among those fired this week. Some believe they were targeted." - Local paper http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/10/13/4819750/

Edit: Added more lines from the preceding paragraph
That's because those generics have already been through the capital intensive process of getting FDA approval. The monopoly is intended to incentivize actually bringing the drug to market. I suppose there are countries without this process, but I also would wager they do not produce nearly as many new drugs (or new orphan drugs) proportionally to the US
Great points. By "act on their own vision" I mean technical vision, the how to solve a problem, not which problem to solve. In my experience this is where many engineers become depressed and want to quit. They're interested in the problems the company is solving, but when implementing solutions they become bogged down in myriad rules with which they do not agree. Coding style is simple enough to adapt to. Having to follow a technology stack, core architecture, and core APIs that you find unintuitive is harder. In fact I'd venture to say (as a corollary of Conway's law) that companies that follow the "everybody writes some of it" style breed narrow monocultures, where everybody sees things roughly the same way.
I'm mainly into simulators such as DCS, Elite Dangerous and iRacing for VR. My understanding is that increased resolution would make those titles better; conversely, none require / would benefit greatly from hand tracking, so it's all about different needs. :-)

Yep, and the disposal method for those old transformers was far too often "throw it in the woods down the street".

Every so often the local news will do a story when someone finds another pile of rusty and leaking transformers sitting on a lot behind a daycare or something.

Not to waste time pointing out what you already know, but I think it's worth adding that you can be fired without being dead weight. Many firms (especially in law or consulting) have chosen to have pyramid structures with up-or-out policies that fire half the employees every two years. Even if the fired employees are good, this keeps everyone motivated and allows you to churn through employees to find the really excellent ones worth developing. The system is not inherently good or bad, as long as all parties are aware of it.
Or it could just be trimming some fat.
I am from India, there is no doubt that devs/IT professionals generally are highly talented
but

- The whole education system is totally messed up here, Things are changing slowly. the professors/lectures have no idea what is going on from rest of the world. the students are preparing for exams only in the last day. the exams are purely memory based. I did "Rote learning" during my school days.

- The interview process is highly questionable in most IT shops. Even Bill Gates can't get job here. (hint: its memory based interview process, it can be easily cleared by students who are well on it)

- There are lot of politics going on any IT firm (thats the worst thing)

- Most of the CEO do not listen. you have to follow their instructions.

- It was 2002, I applied my first job, friends who referred me for the job told me to change my resume to fit the requirement, instead of including my real skill set.

- It was 2005, my first interview in US, An interviewer who called me "how much US experience you have?" I told her "I do not have any US experience", I got lot of anger, what is going here?, I am doing coding for few years, now it has no value? latter I realized the purpose of the question.

- 90% of the students who are coming to IT industry are from poor/middle class families, they have lot of focus to improving their family, standards of life, unfortunately their skills/focus are not properly unleashed.

- Most IT people in India spending more time on traffic rather than coding.

- the list goes on. I do not see any use of listing/discussing these here.

> Though Tesla cited performance as the reason for the firings, the source told Reuters he was fired in spite of never having been given a bad review.

Highly odd for a company that's just starting production of its highest-volume product ever.

Is there something about Tesla beyond the hype we should know? If I were an investor, this news would have me quite concerned.

You would think they can't hire fast enough.
To be exact, it refers to the massacre. The protests lasted for a long time before the crackdown.
A lot of people talk about how only upset employees leave a review, but the opposite side f the spectrum also leaves reviews. Really happy employees also write reviews. Distribution goes to the 5* and 1*
For example, my current company has 100% 5* reviews on glassdoor.
I guess part of what incentives us to leave reviews is that we are hiring like crazy, and want smart/good people to work with us.
