Of course I do. It's rather contrived, now isn't it?

We've effectively just said, 'Well, bugger it. We don't have to expand that.' We've all agreed it equals one. That's kind of silly.

I can quote the rules, the reasons, and even helped to author the early versions of the Wikipedia article on the subject. I understand the textbooks, and they are silly.

I haven't found the history of when this was discovered, so I have to speculate. I think it went a bit like this...

Bob, that's his name, was smoking opium one day and pondering mathematics. On a hunch, he sat down at his desk and, between nods, he discovered that 0.999... = 1.

This, of course, is absurd. After all, anyone would notice that the deception lies in the conversion to a fraction. But, we can't have that.

Bob chose to keep it a secret.

Except Bob was quite an opiate addict and only made it about a week before he started telling anyone who would listen.

Unfortunately, so many people heard about it that the higher order of mathematicians decided they couldn't just assassinate Bob and, after all, he was right - and he could prove it!

So, they thought long and hard. How could this be made true? How could this still be right and the order still be maintained?

Eventually, a bright young neophyte named Hank piped up, 'Wait! I have it! Let's just imply a limit!'

They all cheered and headed to the bar to buy Hank a round of drinks.

Something like that. ;-)

In an earlier comment you said you didn't have to expand it. You're right. You don't have to, but you can. There is no rule that prevents you from stepping up to the board and writing 9s until the heat death of the universe, only an imposition made to keep order. Kinda silly, isn't it?

As I said above, mathematics is a language. You can say anything you want. Some of it is trivially proven false, though it is still useful.

I had someone get a very similar email trying to get someone to change a link from me to a competitor. It sounds almost identical with a different domain. They linked to some accessibility checker. The problem, the site they tried to convince didn't pass this checker either. But the person who emailed wasn't concerned about that, they just wanted a link to me changed to my competitor (who was obviously their client).

If it's the same pattern, it's just a malicious negative SEO campaign. I'm planning on writing about it soon.
I worked at an ad network about a decade ago and we had a partner spending about $10k/day buying traffic that was directly from click/bot farms. They were fully aware of this fact and continued buying as much as possible. We couldn't understand why.

Later we figured it out: Their revenue model was selling display advertising on their own website. The bot traffic inflated their Comscore/Hitwise/Alexa rankings and as a result they could negotiate significantly higher deals.

Why? Communities allow people to work together to deal with shared problems -- like anxiety or not fitting in elsewhere.
We (objectively) haven't received (many) bug reports (on the Reason section, on the web, where Reason is). See my comment right above. We do receive a ton on the rest, plus for the server side.
And, to be clear, my point isn’t that you should just trust me but that to a first approximation the average person has no way to distinguish between two random people on the internet. Telling them to do more work seems futile since nobody has time to do that for more than a small number of topics in the news.
In Smalltalk, the 'keywords' are actually part of the method name; when you say '1 to: 10 do: [ ... ]', you're not calling to: on 1 (which is an entirely different method) with a keyword argument, you're calling to:do:.

> This shared syntax makes the language read better. It makes function calls and keywords look like a normal infix language (e.g. the math expressions in most languages).

Ironically, since Smalltalk also applies this uniformity to arithmetic operators, they don't behave how most people would expect: a + b * c - d is executed like (((a + b) * c) - d).
I thought this is a new type of drug
Not really, people with anxiety are often looking for self-validation and self-affirmation. Joining a community that screams "we're more intelligent than 99% of the population" sounds like a fair way to go with that anxiety.

Interesting that you shared this anecdote just now.

Everytime I read a HN comment claiming a language to be „blazingly“ fast, i wish they posted a link to statistically sound benchmarks, including vm-warmup, GC collection times, etc.

Otherwise I just throw these adjectives away. I argue a new compiler/interpreter will always lose against the JVM, which has thousands of man
hours of optimization built-in.

The JVM in turn will always lose against a clever memory-conscious lowlevel-implementation in Rust or C or assembler.

Please don‘t advertise speed without any studies or comparison to back up that claim.

From war is a racket:

"I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil interests in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested."[p. 10]

"War is a racket. ...It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives." [p. 23]

"The general public shoulders the bill [for war]. This bill renders a horrible accounting. Newly placed gravestones. Mangled bodies. Shattered minds. Broken hearts and homes. Economic instability. Depression and all its attendant miseries. Back-breaking taxation for generations and generations." [p. 24]

General Butler is especially trenchant when he looks at post-war casualties. He writes with great emotion about the thousands of traumatised soldiers, many of who lose their minds and are penned like animals until they die, and he notes that in his time, returning veterans are three times more likely to die prematurely than those who stayed home.

You would be amazed in this instance. Mensa has a reputation for being very 'superior', very 'elitist', and that's the type of organization that is more likely to attract the more typically anxious or neurotic personalities.

> So actually anyone can live a 'basic' life without doing work at all.

So what? That sounds like a problem, but doesn't need to be one. People could already go robbing and killing those around them, but they don't. Anecdotes won't suffice here.

> In a society where there is no incentive to work, people will work less, less value is created, and due to scarcity, prices will rise.

People do a lot of charitable work without any receiving any money in return. That shows that there is are strong incentives to work other than receiving an income.

Besides that, yes I think prices would rise. Not uniformely though. Surely, asparagus would become more expensive, but cars not to the same degree. Picking asparagus is a shitty and hard shop that is outsourced to poor people because it is low paid. No, if the poor didn't need to do that work, they wouldn't. So the wages would need to rise. Finally, for it is long due. The economy and the prices would shift and balance. For the better.

> If you don't produce, you can't consume, simple as that.

Unless you are simply given part of what is produced. Which is done in reality. As simple as that.

Stuff is produced, and will be produced. Because a basic income is just that, a basic income. Want a car or own a house? You have to work. Seems very reasonable to me. Also, machines will happily continue to work.

> Some people argue that in a basic-income world, people work as much as normal. But I would like to see that in practice first.

Work is not a universal good. I wish poor people wouldn't need to do the horrible job of picking vegetables only the richer eat. I think that work should stop. It's degrading to the workers. Still want your asparragus? Invent better machines or pay a lot more so the people who pick it get a fair wage.
org-mode with beamer output. For me there are a couple of large benefits:

- You can include LaTeX directly in documents and preview LaTeX inline in Emacs. This is not restricted to LaTeX math, but any kind of LaTeX environment. I often use this for including TikZ figures.

- You can include snippets of code in your document, execute them inline and include the results in your presentation. For instance, you can use this to include graphs using gnuplot, R, or matplotlib. Moreover, you can use tables org-mode tables as input to these code fragments.

- You can use tags for headers/slides. I often use this to generate two different slide decks: one that I put on the website before the lecture and a second one with solutions for me to use during the lecture.

- org-mode is a markup language that is similar to Markdown, so it is generally less work to write than LaTeX.

- Like LaTeX and Markdown, you can put everything under version control.
A slightly more "we're-living-it" example is to look at Elon Musk and Tesla. Mr. Musk has succeeded in convincing the auto industry to make electric cars. Not all by himself, mind you, certainly the EU emissions regulatory environment had something to do with the "convincing", but nor were those regulations dreamed up in a world where Tesla did not exist.

Fisker tried and failed at around the same time Tesla was making the roadster, so while there is certainly an element of luck to Elon Musk's success, saying it's all due to luck undercuts the fact that he's also worked very, very hard to get where he is - there are stories about him sleeping in the factory so he can do QC inspections himself.

I'm doubtful that electric cars would be in the same position they are in today, if this single individual, Elon Musk, had not existed, but that's impossible to prove - there were hobbyists who were converting Mazda Miatas and Honda Civics to electric engines, without Mr. Musk, would one of those hobbyists have "made it big" and managed to the auto industry into the future?

"The truth, as always, is somewhere in the middle"

This statement ticks me off to an unreasonable degree. The truth is complicated. Any clear spectrum drawn between 2 points is an artificial construct. There is no reason to suppose that the truth would just happen to lie in the middle of an artificial spectrum. In fact if it did on average it would be incredibly strange.

Further the world is full of morons who espouse clearly ridiculous things and the truth doesn't lie somewhere midway between sanity and insanity.

Perhaps, but then you run into the problem of defining racism. It can be obvious, but you can also have situations like the one in yale where the english curriculum was "Colonized"[1] by the fact it had too many white male writers. Would someone who advocates for teaching the traditionally accepted cannon of english literature be racist. According to some definitions, yes. Further, some are willing to call the fundamentals of math racist[2]. Racism can be subtle as well as obvious, and to define the parameters of acceptable speech based on subjective understanding of that subtlety seems that it would likely lead to abuse.

That's what we did back in the 1860's too. There were all these people who wanted to build an economy based around the idea that some humans didn't really have rights and so we deflated their arguments with rational discourse.

Obviously I'm not comparing teachers of Western history to slave owners. But i am trying to point out that rational discourse alone doesn't yield a more egalitarian world.

The fact that something was redacted, and where, is included in the proof. So it shouldn't be a problem as long as the verifier takes this into account. A simple thing to do would be to discard any messages with unexpected readactions (e.g., create a whitelist of places where you expect redaction, such as the Cookie: header). That would prevent situations like:
