What? That makes it even weirder. That means you weren't even being chosen because you were considered to outperform anyone else. Either you were the first candidate, and no comparison could be made, or your were the last candidate, and had to be chosen anyway!
Honestly, I didn’t have any effing clue who Paul Graham is after reading half of his essays and description of Arc. Realized that he wasn’t yet another dev blogger only after someone mentioned on HN that HN is somewhat his. Also, it feels like Joel Spolsky was read in my environment long before stackoverflow.com existed (or became popular). Just one single data point against your hypothesis.
Because of the astronomical cost involved in running fibre to some premises. And not even talking about city vs bush - two city dwellings in close proximity can have vastly different cost of installing fibre.

I would qualify my original statement with 'as part of a NBN-like project'. I didn't intend to suggest that not every home should have fibre, or in deed will have fibre at some point in the future, just not at the tax payer's expense.
Even the full page loads aren't necessary with Turbolinks or PJAX. If I had a choice, thats definitely what I'd be using for what I'm working on now at an ecommerce company. But the boss insists on microservices, and the once the advantages that come with a monolith are gone the SPA is just a better approach imo
Which explains a lot - if you believe that we're in the middle of a pendulum swing politically and culturally, suddenly a lot of things in the way people are acting makes a a lot more sense.
I find it bizarre for you to invoke the niche E programming language as if it is obviously relevant to any use of unique identifiers for detecting replay of messages. Why don't we criticize the author for his lack of Petri nets, or his glaring omission of a denotational semantics in the appendix to his article?

At this point in the discussion, I am unsure that you understand promises in distributed systems formalism, because you seem to be conflating it with the ones recently en vogue in Javascript and other popular languages. Those futures/promises in every web browser in the world are a purely local asynchronous programming idiom, or what I like to think of as CPS unconversion. I didn't suggest that browser programming is a niche concept, but it also has nothing to do with organizing idempotent remote state changes over a lossy message channel.

There is a vast literature using many different forms of explicit identifier tied to some form of idempotence. Do you run around the IETF and W3C telling them to stop saying "Message-ID" when they really mean futures/promises? Or security researchers with their nonces? How about those pesky IPv4 and IPv6 designers with their silly ports, SYN cookies, and sequence numbers?
Also one more thing in Bezos' case, he controls a large corporation. Meaning that he can technically buy large patches of land in advance, before Amazon decides to move into a city, for example.
That's an amazingly AWESOME answer, thank you. So... what's an example of a CA that the most highest value targets on the internet trust? (like Google, Facebook, Amazon, and various banks). Is there like a very trustworthy company that handles most of the big companies?
The thing about rational actors is that their options are severely limited by the market. The publishers only choice is to follow the money and play the game or perish. And of corse complain about it.
Google has launched Colaboratory for collaborative Jupyter notebooks
What's so bad about this is it I'm using someone else's computer in a different country I can rarely stay on the English version. For example, in incognito, even after changing to the English Google, if I go to any other Google site (ex. trends) not only do I get the local language version, but on mobile there is no way to change the language.
That sounds hard to implement.

If it's done by issuing a new certificate for a different key then won't it trigger red flags when certificate transparency becomes mandatory?

Resulting in the CA getting the kick.

I applaud the initiative, but how is this better than, say MJML, which has been around for a while and has a lot of support in popular programming tools (For instance, I like the MJML syntax checker and preview in Atom/VS Code).

Reality is - if you want this to get off the ground, you might think about building up a library of pre-existing templates, especially for transactional emails. Those are very few and far between for budding SaaS developers.

We allow humans that have never driven in adverse conditions before to hop in their cars and take a road trip to Duluth. If we plan to ban robots from doing similar things then maybe we shouldn't allow humans either.
Interesting article / thanks for sharing although I see it as unlikely to come true.

1. The Economist just this month published a cover story about how globalization is actually helping people and just needs to be “adjusted”. The article was very out of touch with the times and made me question and otherwise good magazine.

2. Monopoly is being redefined slowly, mainly in academic legal circles, as market share instead of price point. This does not bode well for these two companies.

3. Alibaba will be closed down shortly from the rest of the world. Eventually China’s economy will falter, and this has been the only thing really holding the country together for the last 40 years. The solution to stabilize the country and prevent chaos from the poor western part overwhelming the rich eastern coast will be to seal the country off and stop trade, kind of like the Soviet Union did, in order to maintain an artificial economy. Probably not a great long-term solution, but it can be effective for a couple of decades.
I haven't calculated it exactly, but we were playing around with simulation code elsewhere among the comments, and my version [0] calculates the hiring frequency for each candidate, not just the best one, so you could look at the tail of the list called "hires".

It’s also possibly not worth solving. I don’t know off the top of my head but I’d assume most of the population lives in temperate cities that rarely see the kind of icy weather regularly. Your vehicle could just not drive automatically in suboptimal settings and I think that’d be totally fine.
Depends on how you do it. If you completely limit your diet, that's not sustainable. There are alternative versions, such as the CKD. (Which means you have a regular cheat day)

> People drop off and regain all of their weight.

That's pretty much true with all diets.
So it's similar to the regional forms of Arabic in the Middle East. People will speak with each other using a dialect, but all official and educational writing is in standard Arabic. When people chat informally (e.g. on WhatsApp), they would typically use Arabic characters to build words that can usually only be understood by speakers familiar with the dialect in question.
This is the reason I am teaching my mother tongue to my kids first, where every parents in my area wants their children to speak English first and that too in American accent.

That's what I'm thinking too. I have spent so much time over the years studying and working with computers and languages and digging into specifics to accomplish a task that a degree would really mostly be a widow dressing that would be counter productive to obtain by distracting me from learning things more important in a real work environment.

I don't mean to imply I'm an wizard. I'm far from that. I've learned on a need to know basis and focused on building web apps and platforms to run them on. I do have a clue about what I don't know though, and that too is important.

But, as you've pointed out, most everything needed to learn how to do this stuff right is freely available and easily accessible and constantly evolving so at best you're learning with a snapshot of somewhat outdated material in a classroom. That's not a bad way to learn, but it's not how I've learned. I dove in headfirst and started making stuff, learning as I went.

Still, as to the original comment, I admire the hard work it takes to get a degree when one really applies themselves. It's no small accomplishment and I'm sure I'd learn a lot if I went through the process, and that I'd enjoy it too. I would love to be able to do that.

Earlier governments, in general, weren't so vehement about language forcing. But this government is going too far with not only language forcing but also with cow worshipping, minorities hounding, history distortions, jingoism, suppression of freedom of speech.

In any case, pls don't make HN a political forum.
Most people's internal reward system values survival > profit/utility > morals/ethics. Not all, but most.

Sometimes, like you said, those ethical or moral considerations are so far abstractes from what's on your plate that we don't even think about it.

I think we need a better system than simply further centralizing powers around the globe. I mean, just look at how rotten NASA became, burning up a space shuttle and failing to innovate or become more efficient because of a groupthink culture designed to protect leadership. And these were people who ostensibly are relatively good--they could have easily made more money more easily elsewhere.

We need competition. Not leaders and bureaucracies who cherrry pick winners. We need real competition to keep us honest. That's the best thing for humanity if you 'care about other people.'

This aligns with the new crony financialism of the 70s and New Deal of the 30s, but makes not much sense before that. It’s a nice digestable notion that correlates with cycles of generational empowerment but not much else. I’m open to the idea, but a bit more scope gives a picture of an industrial empire in a decadent phase.

Where by “impact on democracy” they mean impact on their ad revenues.
I think rather than using a silly made-up word like whataboutism you should simply call out someone's views or comment specifically for whatever logical error you think it contains.

I looked at the definition of whataboutism on Wikipedia, and now I think I understand what you are attempting to argue.

If person A says "Russia treats political enemies badly" and then person B replies "Well, the US puts its political enemies in Gitmo", you would call that a scenario where person B should have said something specifically to refute person A's statement, but instead made a parallel assertion that does not have any direct relation to the statement made by person A.

In your view, in order to refute the claim made by person A, someone would have to provide evidence that in fact Russia does not treat political enemies badly.

When someone is heavily partisan and makes the comment of person B above, the intent might be to deflect attention from person A's point. If you view person A and B as adversaries each trying to be objectively right in some highly logical world, then only a strict logical refutation of person A's point would suffice. The definition of whataboutism descries it as a logical fallacy, which is quite telling.

The truth is, both claims may be true. Person B's statement does not refute person A's statement, but it is not meant to. In reading through the comments that you and the other person claimed were whataboutism, I think your interpretation was that I was asking rhetorical questions that I thought had an obvious answer which should logically refute your assertion.

In fact, I was simply introducing a few scenarios that seem similar to me so that I could better understand how it was so easy for you both to make very broad (and seemingly impulsive) statements with strong implications about the "appropriate" political consequences of journalism.

I was hoping that one of you would explain to me some method of analysis that offered insight into all of those scenarios in addition to this Russia stuff.

It seems that you did not mean to make broad statements about journalism, only about RT specifically because RT is obviously guilty by virtue of its association with the Russian government.

To me that is not obvious, and so when I hear words used like "destabilization" or "terrorism" (these are both propaganda words and I heavily discount any statement containing either one) I have to wonder if perhaps the person making the argument has more of a persuasive motive than a desire to understand the situation or phenomenon in question.
I appreciate the feedback. If I was asked about your second sentence, I'm pretty sure I could show that I've grown through my experience. At least in some sense.

I can't quite tell if you're asking me, or asking whether I'd be able to answer what's changed, but I'll answer your last point.

In the first position, I was pretty fresh with version control and SPA frameworks. I've learned to not be overly optimistic in the sense that I think I can work through recurring glaring problems in code that have no obvious source and no obvious solution. I was hired on a tight deadline project, using EmberJS and Git for the first time. This is when Ember was pretty new and with bad docs. I was coming from an Angular background which also had bad docs and a high learning curve. I'd regularly run into problems that weren't visible to me, undocumented, etc.. I also didn't know how to approach these problems from a human perspective. As in, how and who do I ask for advice? This slowed development a lot. I also learned later that the framework was designed with convention over configuration in mind, but those conventions weren't clear. With Git I messed up in a lot of ways while learning to use it on a team.

The last position has mostly been a learning experience about recognizing burnout early, when there are systemic problems within a company, how to pick golden handcuffs, the importance of culture fit, and the importance of using the best tools for the job. Personally, I was perhaps overly optimistic about my personal ability to finish code on time given the environment. Otherwise, I was working in an environment that in some ways I'd compare to water torture. I've learned to recognize earlier when I won't be able to succeed long term in a place, whether it's me or the place.
To make good tea you have to control temperature, pressure, steeping time, and water volume. The teforia microbrewer does what a teabag won't, let alone an inefficient kettle. I purchased 2 Teforia's at the discounted rate. The machine has its place.

Case: You are wondering around a new city with few friends. Everybody is hungry and getting annoyed. No mobile devices are available or you do not trust the online recommendations. How do you find a good place to eat?

First you estimate based on the level of hunger, quality of shoes and the restaurant density of the area how many places you can check before you starve to death. This rule tells that you should first walk pass n/2.718 restaurants and then pick the best one you have seen so far.

This is true. What's more is that Hirohito, when asked about terms of surrender, said that he would

That said, "there was no reason to use that awful thing" as Eisenhower said. Truman was "itching to use the bomb" to deter the Soviets in Europe and Asia.

There wasn't any reason for a land invasion and military leaders in the US echoed this, and they were already defeated and going through conditions of surrender. Hirohito was a really bad guy, and stubbornly refused any terms that would have him step down. Miscommunication then led to the bomb drop, which few know. If you want to know more about this Google the 'Mokusatsu incident.'

Then in a massive miscarriage lf justice, Hirohito remained royalty and Tojo was martyred as "the bad guy."
I don't work for Teforia. I like their product. I love tea. A kettle doesn't control pressure, nor does it use a small volume of water. ie microbrewing. So with an egg timer you can control steep time and temperature but not much else and not very accurately. The taste is the difference, bitter vs flavorful.
It's also irrelevant: nominally pro-Clinton ads can be used to generate net Trump support, and we'd have to have a way more involved discussion of PSYOPs to see if the two statements were in conflict.

Of course, green account with pro-Trump talking points of questionable content might very well be a propaganda account.
Bogosorting an array of the given size would take much longer than the lifetime of our sun. You think the author might not have given us the full gif depicting that sort? I don't know!
Which is why we should look at more private funding, and a free market competition. Levy a pollution tax and a congestion tax, increasing both to keep traffic flowing smoothly 24x7. This will naturally incent use of higher-capacity vehicles like buses or 18-person vans in peak hours. I don't believe a centrally-planned bureaucracy can decide which capacity vehicle should run in which route at what times and on what days at what frequency, certainly not in India where the bureaucracy is incompetent.

The future effectiveness of Mobile Commerce
Hmmmm.

I wonder how expensive it would be to make a really really tiny FPGA with a few tens of cells in it.

As in, I realize chip design is expensive and crazy complicated, but small runs are only around $5k or so. I'm wondering if FPGAs manufacturing has similar costs - or at least similar-ish enough to be potentially interesting.

If you could go from zero to tiny prototype FPGA with 5 or 6 figures, you might just be able to pull some VC money out of thin air to kickstart with. Or you might not even need to go in the VC direction, there's bound to be a group of people out there with collectively enough between them to kickstart something like this. I'm uncertain if Kickstarter would be a horrible disaster.

With prototypes made, you'd just need to send a few of the prototypes out to some smart PhDs and hardware hackers, get them to show what's possible, and that could be a viable way to get further investment and complete the bootstrap cycle.

Obviously the point of all of this is to make a chip that's as open as reasonably possible. Physical chip manufacturing is likely to be NDA'd (for example the SRAM would probably be supplied as a reference design from the foundry) but the "how to poke this with software" could be super open. Would be fun.

Measuring Latency: Am I doing it right? [pdf]
I think this fascinates people in part because we sort of think it can't happen anymore. With 7 billion people, GPS, satellites, airplanes, cell phones, we think you can't get lost like this, you can't be so extremely alone. We think space is the only frontier left.

It flies in the face of our mental models of our world. On top of that, it is an extraordinary personal experience that is fascinating for that aspect. So many of us struggle hugely to cope even with the support of modern civilized life. I can't imagine figuring out the logistics of coping practically with such a situation. Coping psychologically is even more unimaginable to me.
