I agree with you in your comment that point that these disguised insults against trump are inappropriate here (saying this more directly could have better effect imo). But please, you seems to be a good guy, do not fall into the Tribal trap, whether it is "i must defend m own even if i'm wrong" or "He has opinions from the opposite side, he must be wrong on everything else". The people this man hang out with AND this symbol he wore are enough evidences that he support, even if it is a little, Nazi ideology.

Since nowaday, nazi ideology has several sides, xenophobic, antisemitic, racist ant anti-feminist (i might forgot some), he might agree on at least one, and if you're dead set on defending him you can say he is only xenophobic or something, and the other part of neonazism, he doesn't support, but are you really believing that he wore this to say "i'm anti-communist"? If he did, he must have been seriously misinformed (and anyone this out of touch, honestly, deserve to be kicked of of any job that require you to understand history).

Please do not go tribal on Hn.

I'm fascinated by the appropriation of the term "Silicon Valley" to represent all of (a certain type of) technology. I think that the name alone will contribute to the future primacy of the Bay Area in software.

It reminds me of this excellent scene in "The Founder", after Kroc has managed to buy McDonald's and is conversing with its original founder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FxHY-vLMgs

s/McDonald/Silicon Valley -- makes for an interesting perspective.
That's why a lot of things, like liberterianism (optional taxes) and communism don't work in practice..

It's only intuitive if you take cartesian products infinite families for granted. I think it's only considered intuitive because when people think "cartesian product" their model is finite families.

Discipline Equals Freedom Field Manual, by Jocko Willink
No idea if Mr. Thiel is right in this decade, but long term silicon valley has lost its main advantage: silicon.

The physical business of building computer parts, especially chips, involves a lot of hard science and deep magic and requires a kind of priesthood steeped in that magic. SV's original success was built on this -- it got rich because it is where the silicon priests lived. But now things have evolved so the it is the Chinese who know how to build the computers and (sometimes) the Californians program them.

Except writing apps is not really deep magic, and is something that can be done anywhere. So SVs advantages move to ever more nebulous things like networking and mentorship -- which are also human universals that happen everywhere.
But the audio feedback that it took a picture is actually useful. Sure, it could be a different sound, but there should be a sound?

At a glance, choice seems obvious because every nonempty set has an element, so taking one element from each set in a collection looks like a perfectly reasonable thing to do. For well-ordering, it asserts a property that people are typically not taught to treat the reals as having. "Everybody knows" that a set of reals doesn't necessarily have a smallest element. The "next-largest"/"next-smallest" construction is something you see a lot in (mistaken) attempts to prove 1 ≠ 0.999….

My usual experience is that people presented with well-ordering principle try to figure out how it works with the reals -- what is the order relation? It seems like asserting the existence of this structure pushes them into a more constructivist mode of thinking, whereas they don't typically feel like they need to come up with a way to construct choice functions.

Zorn's lemma deals with a setting that has somewhat more structure to it, so it doesn't really seem obvious whether it's true or not.

they are. Let's say you choose an opportunity of 3-4% margin. Deduct your exchange fees for buying & selling which should be around 0.4-1.0% (depends on your volume etc). Then deduct another fee of 0.5-0.7% for using an online money transfer service. 1-3% profit every few days without doing anything much. Have done it by myself over the last 2 years.
> All of you ladies and gents who blow off your annual flu vaccine because "you just don't seem to ever catch it" - you're just lucky. It's only a matter of time with modern travel and climate change until another virulent strain hits.

Even if you do get the vaccine, there's no guarantee that it will actually include your new virulent strain. The flu vaccine is more involved (and uncertain) than others because influenza has a high mutation rate. It's a bit of a guessing game each year as to which strains should be included, and new ones crop up all the time.

Howdy. Erlang's modules are involved in code namespace for the compiler & runtime (i.e., the 'M' of the 'MFA' triple of Module + Function name + Arity that names a function) as well being the unit/scope/bound for hot code loading (i.e., you must load or unload an entire module at a time).

I've worked in Erlang-land far longer than I've lived in any OOP-land, so I'm not sure what you mean by enterprise'y OOP. Coincidentally, Pony's rules for "Packages" are something I just smacked my ignorant head against a few hours ago. The subsections of https://tutorial.ponylang.org/packages/ in the tutorial can probably answer at least some of your question: specifically "Package System" and "Use Statement".

I thought the title said "let you STOP using photos (when selling)", which is what has basically already happened due to the prevalence of stock images and CGI items on a white background.

I'm still looking for the browser extension that lets you filter out any listing with a pure white or gradient background from your eBay, etsy, pinterest, etc. searches.

Would be a HUGE indicator of an actual real used item sold by a human, vs. a new dropshipped item from China. You know, what I want to use eBay to buy.
In this case would communism not actually be a positive? If the communist government decided everyone has to get vaccinated it seems the problem would be solved.

Not an advocate of communism as a whole but it is an interesting mention that it would if applied by an aggressive state actor go a long way towards eliminating certain diseases assuming it has the financial resources.

They don't run all of it. Many city news channels have their own radar and forecast teams. That's not to say I don't think the NWS is an essential government function.

There's pros and cons to preemptive and cooperative scheduling policies. I wouldn't be comfortable labelling either as weakness. It really depends on context.

It's not just dead people you're talking about, it's the families of those people. Keep in mind that in many cases the recordings of their ancestors are the only ones existing. It's not at all clear that a university or library should always be able to make those decisions without the involvement of the families.

There is often very private, very personal information in language documentation: even though it seems like the fact that the speaker should have been aware that making a recording was equivalent in some way to publication.

Plus, it's important to remember that before modern standards of informed consent were created, many linguists didn't have the speakers' best interests at heart, and were unscrupulous about recordings.

The ethics of legacy field recordings is a very messy business, with consequences ranging from legal measures to the unceremonious end of otherwise productive relationships between speech communities and researchers. I've seen cases where individual children of a single speaker have had differing opinions on what should happen to recordings.
It's not that I'm a "stalker fanboi" so much as you've apparently been living under a rock for the last thirty years if you haven't heard this shit before. Did you know Bill Gates founded Microsoft? No way! Did you know Steve Wozniak built the original Apple? Get out! This is not mind-blowing news.

It's also irrelevant. This ended up being some bullshit compendium when, given the unprecedented access, you'd expect better. They could've written this book based on anecdotes and old press. That's the problem.

> Am I misreading the data (Cumulative 2013->2017) or something?

Yes. Per the description, that table is only drives that remain in service as of 2017. There have been "troublesome" Seagate models that failed at such high rates that Backblaze finally just pre-emptively pulled them, and those drives are not in the "cumulative" table they show in the OP.

https://www.backblaze.com/blog/3tb-hard-drive-failure/

> Maybe I'm misreading something, but it looks from their data that the major Seagate issues have been put behind them now?

That's what people said after the 7200.11 series. And after the 1.5 TBs shit the bed. And after the 3 TBs shit the bed. They're good for a while, then Seagate releases yet another model that shits the bed.

You can actually see that in the link above.

> While this particular 3TB model had a painfully high rate of failure, subsequent Seagate models such as their 4TB drive, model: ST4000DM000, are performing well with an annualized 2014 failure rate of just 2.6% as of December 31, 2014. These drives come with 3-year warranties and show no signs of hitting the wall.

2 years later they've released two new 4 TB models that fail at 50-100x the norm again.
Stanford Pathologist to Examine Vegas Gunman’s Brain
I just had an idea, but more in relation to documenting source code: what if there was a tool sort of like gofmt in that it has to be run in order for code to successfully compile, but instead of formatting, it actually checks if some or all of the variable names in functions or objects appear in some corresponding comment (like Python docstrings [0] or javadoc comments [1]).

I just came up with the idea and the first (bad?) heuristic now, and I didn't check to see if tools with these characteristics already exist. It would be bad initially [2] and it would be onerous for sure, but it would be a start.

Elsewhere in the thread someone gave the example of heliocentrism versus geocentrism. You can form a heliocentric model that makes accurate predictions, you just have to add epicycles to everything. But I would say that heliocentrism is not merely more elegant and more convenient, but also more true. Wouldn't you? For a more extreme example, in the story from http://lesswrong.com/lw/i4/belief_in_belief/ I think we would say that it isn't true that there's a dragon in the garage.
