I don't see why teaching that ethics comes before career isn't a priority. There's a validation that either the victim or the enablers are put into a morale delma to worry about their career over ethics. Shouldn't we be addressing that too? That there is no dilemma, it's just a regrettable mistake to do that.

SafeButler (YC S17) is hiring employee #2 to modernize insurance
Solving our own pain point, we are automating insurance shopping for American consumers. After a quick signup, a consumer's insurance shopping and management are put on autopilot with us. Better deals automatically come to them for the rest of their lives. Switching takes only a single tap. It will save consumers time and money while giving them better protection.

Bugs in our system could mess up people's lives big time. If you take proud in writing code that "just works", if you love turning customer feedback into a deployed feature in minutes, you'll love it here. Practical experience with Python/Django, SQL, and automated testing strongly preferred. Practical experience with Ruby/Rails, Java, React, iOS or Android will be considered too.

Sugar was available in boatloads in the 70's in Europe. Liters of soda and candy were consumed by kids, yet fat kids were a rarity. 'Normal' food didn't have all the hidden sugars, and was far less 'designed'. Also, meals were 3 a day, and 'sncking' frowned upon by parents. Another big difference was that kids and even adults naturally excersized all day, running, cycling, playing outside. The 80's made the streets unsafe to play do to the massive increase in car traffic, and those same cars made sure adults remained seated all day. The food industry had breakthrough successes in finding out ways to get people to eat more and more without reducing the hunger/craving, and started campaigning for 'snacking'. The resulting obesity crisis also needed to be social engineered so that people wouldn't stop overeating because of the unavoidable effects on body and health. So the fat-pride movement was nudged into existence, and even discussing the subject outside of the well controlled message of 'you don't get fat from eating' made taboo, while installing a victim culture externalizing all factors.

Do you mean the Betfair lines? I think their market is pretty accurate. More so than many traditional bookmakers, although a lot of them use Betfair to make their own markets now, so there's very little chance of arbitrage between them.

I've written an R library for the Betfair API[1], which I use every day to retrieve prices.

In their German home turf they started a huge ad campaign last year (their first ever except for a weekly newspaper ad) and even started to discount some of their regular product lines. Maybe the days they could survive without all that are over?

Maybe it continues the historical tradition of Federalists vs Anti-Federalists:

"The primary opposition to the Constitution was based on it being a centralizing document that risked making the states a mere administrative arm of the central government.
States' rights advocates like Thomas Jefferson, George Mason, Patrick Henry, and Elbridge Gerry were wary of the new document.
The Federalists were aware of these objections and their opponents.
Thus, in trying to head them off at the pass, they adopted the name Federalists to give people the impression, true or not, that they were for a federal form of government and not a national one.
This forced those who opposed the constitution to be known as Anti-Federalists, which to the less attentive audience gave the impression that they were against federalism and thus for a centralized regime."
I used to share your opinion about down votes, until I read in the HN guidelines that there was no explanation for what down votes really were for, while flagging was explicitly defined.

It seems the HN cultural practice is to down vote posts people don't like or just disagree with. I would rather people reply, but I can't do anything except for practice what I believe is right: I'll down vote a post that doesn't contribute to the discussion, as you do.

Since "doesn't contribute to the discussion" is vague and subjective, I can't claim particularly high moral ground.
Why is this on HN?

Whenever non-tech posts are put up on HN, they're ruthlessly hounded. What does this article have to do with tech that absolves it? The fact that it comes from San Jose's newspaper?

Agreed, this seems like a very realistic possibility.

I can see it now, researchers claiming that computers are actually now 1% better at warfare than humans, on the standard corpus of example scenarios. And then someone decides it would be remiss to not let the computers make the decisions.
Yes that's all there is to human interactions, either love or objectification.
>Humans are many magnitudes more efficient at improving a skill

In the case of go, most definitely not. AlphaGo Zero achieved world-beating performance in just three days, running on four TPUs. Becoming a world class player cost somewhere in the region of 150kWh.

A fairly sedentary human requires about 2.5kWh of food per day. Achieving mastery of go takes at least 10 years of full-time study, so we're looking at a bare minimum of ~9000kWh. That excludes the energy inputs to make that food (often orders of magnitude higher) and the multitude of other energy inputs required to keep a human being healthy and sane.
People have already put work into finding chess-like games, or variants of chess, that humans can play well (especially if they have some familiarity with chess) but that computers will struggle with.

Arimaa -- where computers did eventually reach the point of defeating humans -- is an example of this. Arimaa tried to attack both "opening books" and move-tree searches, by allowing the initial position to vary every game and by having each turn consist of up to four individual moves by potentially multiple pieces. The official challenges also required that computer Arimaa systems run on commodity hardware, and did not allow for modifying the computer "player" in between games of a challenge. It got through twelve yearly human-versus-computer challenges before the humans finally lost.

I like the "AI for humans" series, by Jeff Heaton.
It's a series of books plus some code examples that can be found here:

https://github.com/jeffheaton/aifh

For python, no libraries other than numpy are used in the examples. Which is not production friendly, but it offers insights into the concepts which I think is a good start.
Not necessarily. One possible mechanism for non ionizing radiation to be harmful is for the RF fields to induce currents in the dna base stack (which is a conductor), jamming the base excision repair system, which is hypothesized to scan for muations by detecting when current is or isn't running through the dna.

In this case, the RF wouldn't be mutagenic, but it would increase the likelihood of cancer.

Yep.

Friend of mine works for a scientific equipment lab (mainly various kinds of microscopes and simulation equipment), and spends most of his time maintaining and adding features to Smalltalk images. It's an inhouse Smalltalk developed in the early 80s.

Some clients still pay to have their machines that run off 8" floppies maintained and upgraded.

Bear in mind, that for this sort of work, a contract can have timelines like 10yrs to implementation, with 20yrs support thereafter.

EDIT:

To expand, and try and answer your question a bit more thoroughly...

Smalltalk can be painful at times, and he vastly prefers C++. Especially a Smalltalk that has a completely different idea what file systems should look like, and how serial ports should be treated.

This old Smalltalk doesn't allow exceptions to happen on IO, which creates a large amount of debug-hell at times, though at least with Smalltalk the boilerplate is limited.

However, despite ten years of cruft, and fifteen different project leads, the projects are still manageable. That is a huge mark in Smalltalk's favour. There are other languages where this is possible, but it usually requires a lot of discipline.
I run my own email server and set up a catch all address so I can give any website a new email address at my domain. It was a bit of a pain to set up initially, getting other servers to accept sent emails, but maintenance is pretty straightforward.
I haven't seen a specific study but I have read assertions along the same lines: either low-fat or low-carb can work.

I believe the insulin-centric explanation (I'm a low carb eater and this is the perspective I tend to see) would be something like:

- Low carb and high fat: The fat goes to your fat cells (that is, whatever fat you don't burn for fuel immediately after eating), but since your insulin is low the fat is readily burned off relatively soon.

- Low fat and high carb: The carbs cause an insulin spike, and insulin inhibits fat burning, BUT since you haven't stuffed much fat into your fat cells, there isn't much to burn off when your insulin eventually comes back down. You need to be relatively insulin sensitive, so that your insulin level does come back down. Even if you're insulin resistant, this diet might still work if you eat only a tiny amount of fat.

- High fat and high carb: Fat goes to your fat cells and insulin levels are high, which inhibits fat burning, so you gain fat faster than you burn it.

ALDI Süd has, yeah, but afaik ALDI Nord only launched some ad campaigns in the past days, right?

And from what I know, that’s less about survival, and more that they can’t expand horizontally anymore, and the new owners (the Albrechts both died in the past years) also want to expand vertically into other market segments.
"Ritual Purposes" - the archeologist's get-out clause when they have no idea what something is used for.

If they said these things were for hunting or agriculture, they'd have to explain how. But if they're for "rituals" then they don't have to explain what the use was or the ritual was.

However it leaves us with an impression of ancient peoples as superstitious fools who spent vast amounts of time and energy building ritual objects with no practical purpose.

Instead maybe we should be left with an impression of archeologist's massive ignorance about ancient culture.
The best argument for preserving endangered languages, ironically, is the strong form of the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis--which linguists flatly reject. Given how hostile most of them are (if Pullum and his gang on Language Log are anything to go by) to even the soft Whorfianism of Boroditsky et al., it's quite galling that these same linguists, who assert the absolute fungibility of human languages, also stress the vital importance of preserving each and every one of them.

And given that linguists use as an insult the term "prescriptivist"[1] for anyone who wishes to preserve or establish particular linguistic usages--even if for wholly benevolent reasons, such as the removal of inconsistencies for the benefit of non-native speakers--how can they then go and support efforts to actually increase the number of speakers of some dying tongue? Isn't that awfully prescriptivist of them, dictating not just how others should use a particular language, but even which languages they should be speaking?

It is! Except sites can't just do a regex to test for '+' so it's not easily detectable as such.
This is entirely true, but it's also worth mentioning that English varies more than it gets credit for, too. Plenty of vocabulary, expressions, and even grammar differ by dialect, and if one isn't making an effort to speak in standard English a fair bit of what they say won't be understood by the whole anglosphere.
"It’s unclear how many smaller base stations would be needed for 5G service. But it’s widely believed that there would need to be exponentially more because of the limited distance the signals can travel"

Lets unpack this:
1) there is and has been lots of modelling to work out if the frequency bands are viable for business.

2) Where on the exponential curve is it? double? Quadruple? don't use terms that one clearly doesn't understand.

3) "Widely believed" is not a good source. Fucking talk to the scientists that are doing the moedelling. Do you honestly think that the entire international mobile industry is going to just guess as to how many Basestations are needed?

4) "more because of the limited distance the signals can travel" Do you know what this means? propogation is limited, which means that exposure is more than likley to be less. Its simple physics that propagation on the 4-6Ghz bands is nowhere near as much as 700Mhz. (https://gsacom.com/5g-spectrum-bands/)

5) once again, if range is limited, so is exposure.

Once again a lack of basic science, combined with clickbate has continued to undermine valid criticism and replace it with bone headed stupidity.

If you are worried about 5G, why the fuck do you use Wifi? wifi is both 2.4 ghz, and 5 ghz.
This is fantastic! This actually puts the engine ahead of Unity in terms of scripting since those guys target a rather outdated version of C#/Mono. Now I can't wait to play around with Godot.

(Modern) C# is my favorite language, but I've been looking into F# recently. Wonder if someday that might be an option in Godot as well. Given how both languages compile to the same binary format, there have been workarounds to use it in Unity even though it's not officially supported.
If China decides to build 10 Ford class carriers today, they will have 10 in 5 years time. And there is nothing that anyone can do about that.
I would love you to find me a source for millions of non enemy combatant deaths directly caused by the US.

Notice that I never said that the US hasn't committed shameful human rights abuses. I'd be happy to discuss them. Most are taught in schools, like Kent State in which 4 students were killed. Do the Chinese teach about Tiananmen, where hundreds were killed?

If you seriously want to compare the US to one of the bloodiest nations in the history of the world, I'll take that comparison any day.
Radium wasn't used for over a century all over the entire planet and exposed to most of the entire population of the world their entire lives. It's literally the worst comparison to non-ionizing radiation possible.
I think if there were significant issues with non-ionizing radiation, we would have a large sample size by now since almost everyone is exposed to it their entire life.
Also, what is significant about your phone heating up your ear? I can my make ear red with heat by wearing a toque in a warm room, that does not have anything to do with if it causes cancer or not.

> Where LISP throws me off is the excessive use of parenthesis

There's a standard way to indent lisp (the emacs way, which everybody copies) and as long as it's indented properly you read it like a whitespace significant language (Python, F#, etc).

Clojure is a bit easier to read than other lisps because it uses [] for vectors, arguments, and assignment blocks and {} for maps and sets. Gives the code a bit more texture.

People writing lisp day to day use an editor feature to automatically keep parens balanced (Paredit, Parinfer). Not required since there's a learning curve but it makes editing smoother if you're going to write lisp full time. A text editor that highlights the opening paren when the cursor is on the closing one (pretty common feature) is all you really need.
A lot depends on the era you're talking about, for computer chess. It used to be that forcing a chess computer out of its "book", so that it had to start relying on move-tree searches much earlier in the game when that tree is still monstrous in size, was a good or at least OK tactic. As the computers got better, and as more effort was put into anti-anti-computer tactics, it stopped being useful, but to say that this is "not at all" how computers have played chess is incorrect.

How long do you think the authors would have waited to publish this paper if their accounts were not restricted and they would continue to profit? My guess would be a long time.
I don't think this is true. Framework for example can only reference standard libraries as of 4.6.2. Up until dotnet core 2.0, core was very much an incompatibile subset of framework - even with 2.0 it would be better characterised as a cross platform rewrite of the net framework.
We have a good idea what 5G does. It heats our bodies by negligible amount. There's no known mechanisms for long-term adverse effects, there's no experimental data supporting such claims.
Anything I would previously have used shared hosting for (so static websites) now just gets thrown up on S3, a Cloudfront origin put in front of that, and after that I just stop thinking about it.

It's been working pretty well. It's apparently held up to being on the front page of HN 4-5 times, which generates a large amount of traffic (more than any subreddit it's been on, which is quite a few). It's probably around 50,000 - 100,000 HTTP requests in that day. Being on HN attracts both humans and bots.

Although that's around 1 per second average, it's pretty concentrated in a few hours. But it's not like they can't handle 5-10 requests per second for a single site. It's all on a single machine, but I'm sure their machines can handle thousands of requests per second. It's probably pretty unlikely that more than a few sites on the box get even 1 request per second.

Occasionally people do run wget over the site, but that hasn't seemed to matter either.

Indeed, but it depends a bit on whether you feel the 2 car households should be grouped in with the 1 car households or the 3 car households.

For completeness, one also has to ask whether or why we measure or comment using the statistical concept of households or persons.

Using WA as an example, ~34% of households had 2 cars. We can say that ~56% of households responded that they had access to 2+ cars. We can also say that almost ~75% of households responded that they had with 2 or fewer cars.

However, if we want to come up with an idea of a "representative australia" (an arguably increasingly erroneous concept by the day), we have to realise that the distribution of "people" amongst households will not be uniform.

Indeed, there is likely a strong correlation between the number of people in a household and the number of cars in a household.

What this means is that although only 56% of "households" reported having 2+ cars, the number of "persons" who experience life in such a household is not proportionate to the number of households reporting each characteristic in the population.

Indeed, given that one stat is likely correlated with singles, students and dinks, and the later is likely correlated with early and extended families, you would likely find that on a population weighted basis, the 2-3 car households may need to be counted as some multiple of the single/no car households.
You just have to indent them the same way you'd indent curly braces.

The harder part about lisp is actually recursion. Surprisingly, there aren't a lot of programmers who can follow recursion naturally.

(loop exists in lisp but recursion seems to be the common idiom)

I have been thinking about that exact service for a while. One big issue is that you need the reverse engineer the pricing models of retailers, i.e. mapping out a high-dimensional space. For that you need a lot of data from the retailers. They could probably ban you quickly if you start pulling price quotes en masse. Then you need to invest a lot in cloaking techniques etc.

Referral links are the most amazing financial product I've ever seen.

I'll start from the end: Companies get FREE advertising from YOU, and unless you get them an actual customer, they don't pay.

Effectively companies are “forcing” you to advertise for free (forced by your desire to "make easy money"), and then they pay you a commission if you get them a paying customer.

And you may fail to realise that you are already paying them by placing their ad in your page. Because in order for you to get money, you need to get them a click that ends in a paying customer. You could have pointed that customer to something you owned and theoretically you could have received the full value of their purchase. So losing that is a payment you make in order to "refer" a customer... Its crazy!
And it's also not what they said.
