Yeah, but that is a side effect of the CLR original target, as a means to support any language, including C like ones.

Which is ironic that nowadays JVM gets more languages, with compiler backends pretending to be Java like, while .NET SDK 1.0 even had multiples examples of programming languages.

> Ars spoke with six Instacart shoppers who said that they have routinely been made to pick up several heavy items, such as cases of bottled water, soda, or ice.

In Bangalore, I routinely see people from not only grocery delivery companies, Big Basket but food delivery like Freshmenu carrying huge carry bags with god knows how many items. Couple of times I have seen people struggle to get up the stairs with that much weight on their backs. And those are not contractors but employees.

A lot of the comments here seem to focus on the issue of regulating FB because of their social media output and potential for spreading fake news, etc.

But the thing I would want more regulation on is their possession of personal data and the tools to target people using that data. The same applies to all similar advertising-first platforms.

If all of this data and the tools to analyze it are as powerful as the data giants seem to suggest by their marketing and actions (given the increase in collection, storage, and analysis)... Then maybe we, as a society, need to have a conversation about that. And possibly regulation of some kind is an outcome of that conversation.

Trains just have so much higher capacity than roads. A single lane of highway traffic can handle about 2,000 cars per hour, and that of a surface street probably more like 1,000 cars per hour, while a track of railway can handle 24-30 trains per hour. Trains themselves can carry 1000-1500 people (albeit not comfortably on the high-end), which means you're looking at 25k-45k people/hour/lane on a train. You can't compete with that by road unless you have tons of buses converging on a dedicated busway for a trunk commute (something like this happens in the Lincoln Tunnel).

CNN is just as awful, somehow, with the chumboxes and I’m not sure how these properties justify this to themselves. Television first, internet second? Old media gets the gold standard, and internet is tripe? Maybe it’s all driven simply by the bottom line and nothing else.

Destructive forces are at work ruining what used to be useful sites like The Gothamist and such. For the life of me, I don’t see anything but the disintegration of slow-growth, carefully cultivated brands if paywalls and the bottom line (propped up by tawdry ad infestation) are all that stand between meaningful works of media.

>Nowhere in the piece does he apologize for being a white, western, male. You are arguing against or being grated by a straw man that's not there, he didn't do that.

>He did say that "the negative impact of my tweets was amplified" by his social position, including being a white, western, male. I guess you disagree that this amplified the negative impact of those tweets? And this disagreement about assessment of negative impact bothers you for some reason?

Being white, Western and male is an attribute, not a social position. There's not a single social thing Dale can do that changes those attributes, unlike being rich and a CEO. Saying those seems to imply (from my perspective) that those attributes are in some way connected to his behaviour or his power. Put another way, there wouldn't be a scenario where if Dale was a black and female I would be saying "well, this could have been a whole lot worse if she was white and male".

The reason this bothers me is because the next time something bad happens in Silicon Valley and they happen to be white and male (which is likely given the overall demographic), they get grouped together and raise this general feeling that white men are an evil group of people.

>Except you did write "fair point" about unconscious bias going on here.

Everybody has unconscious bias, or at least everybody with a functioning brain. If I say "banana", almost guaranteed you think of something yellow, because we make assumptions to reduce the amount of information that needs to be interpreted about an idea. It's often difficult to work against. It's also not a property of just white, Western males either. It's shared throughout the world as an evolutionary advantage.

>I'm not quite sure what is irritating you so.

I know it's only a small thing, but it adds up over time towards this negativity that's building up in various media channels for or against different demographics.
I agree. It would take a very specific set of interventions.

What could do good? A disclaimer every time you log in saying "Pro tip: get your news from reliable sources, not your facebook feed."? Are there any ways people could be prompted to do the right thing?

The question is then: what can be done? Just because it's hard to know how to handle the problem doesn't mean we shouldn't try to.

Well, they're trying to operate on some thing, but they're not passing in that thing to operate on. (And usually while telling themselves that this jibes with FP, for some reason.) In fact, they're trying really hard to avoid explicitly passing in the thing they want to do something with. And they still want it to work the right way. Are the expectations reasonable?

During the U.S. government's long antitrust investigation of IBM (1969-1982) the company basically stopped making any acquisitions -- because it felt those were sure to be vetoed and to reinforce trust-busters' belief that something bad was afoot.

A long-running antitrust probe of FB or other tech giants might have a similar chilling effect on growth plans, even if the case itself doesn't result in big changes.
Although these short papers are fun, I think the most interesting papers are those that are both important and concise. One of my favorite examples is Josh Nash's proof of the existence of Nash Equilibria (which is a foundational concept in game theory and arguably won Nash a Nobel):

The Russians handled the catastrophe better and faster. International help sender them low tech robots, Russians poured tunnels below within days/weeks with lot of human contractors. But Japan is doing little. Contaminated fluids leak into the sea that swaps to Hawaii and west coast ever since 2011. It's the local culture of loosing face that seems to be at odds with handling it and a major corruption problem. After 6 years Japan has done so little, compared to the Chernobyl Sarcophagus and all the handling inside and ever since. Why is there not more international pressure to Japan to do more and do it faster? They have to do it no matter what the costs are or if the have the resources, it doesn't matter - the rest of the world population will thank you for less pollution. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_Nuclear_Power_Plant_...

Hi Diemorz,

I’m very glad for your comment. This is something that I can honestly say I have not considered. My biggest fears were 1) making sure that the whole idea isn’t rejected by the developer community and 2) making sure I have enough money in place to give to developers.

I started off initially by doing a 50/50 split with developers. I also started by charging $1/click to sponsors. I quickly realized that it would take a very long time before I could get enough sponsors and developers to support myself full time. Because of this, I dropped the distributions to 60/40. It still is not making much money at all. Code Sponsor may take 60%, but I take 0%.

Now in the future, if it does continue to grow at a healthy rate and if Github will allow us to sustain OSS through README’s, then I would definitely consider a more developer-sided split.

All I want is to help sustain OSS and do it as a living.
Indeed. When I was on a six month contract for Retail Software Engineering, I observed that everyone had hardware that was at least a year or two old. I was told that the new hardware is reserved for paying customers, and if you wanted a new machine you could use your employee discount to buy one.

Otherwise, the only people who get the latest hardware are those who need to test or develop code on it, and that is a very small fraction of the total number of employees.

Clicker Heroes one is a lot of fun. I "played" it for about six months... which means I left the browser window open at work and bought upgrades every few hours.

Just in case you check your replies now and then - yes, you get what I was saying.

One can opt out of meat and meat products for reasons of health (which are complicated and debatable, but a personal choice), reducing environmental impact, and not taking part in the way we currently handle animals for food.

The latter one is complicated, as it is technically possible to opt out of supporting the chicken/cow "matrix" if you really truly only ever eat meat/eggs/dairy from animals that are raised, used, and finally killed on (likely) local farms that generally treat their animals with "dignity" for whatever that's worth until they kill them. I personally don't think that real free range cattle and chickens that are eventually slaughtered have bad lives for what they are - but being able to only eat such animals is definitely a choice only available to the upper-middle class and up, given the current system.

But if you're a vegetarian and you routinely buy 48 egg cartons for $6 at your local safeway and eat tons of cheese? You just have a restrictive weird diet.
Ask HN: When you got burnt out being a web developer, what job did you move to?
Of all the delivery services out there Amazon Restaurants/ Food Delivery is the only one that pays right. There's a fixed hourly rate of about $16 that you receive whether you make a delivery or not. Any tip that you receive if you make a delivery at some point in time gets added.

All the rest give you a pittance, some even based on mileage. Its a pity!
You no longer have options.

In the end, all systems must have some form of regulator - from engines to code. If you are lucky, you create a governing function by playing engine forces against each other.

Demand is modulated by the ability of a pipe to supply fuel for example.

But most systems may not be with a self governable/equilibrium point. OR they may have one, but it is obviously repugnant to the purpose of the system.

It is then only logical, that a governing system is introduced to deal with the problem within the confines of what is human and practical.

The alternative is not necessarily something of value.
Likely true. However that will need to last us a long time. 5% of oil is still a very large industry.

Reminds me of Sweden hills: http://nordic.businessinsider.com/this-japanese-town-looks-e...

Japan is actually the largest export market for Swedish prefab houses. Our houses are built with a 80 year life expectancy and adapted to similar climate. So I guess that is what makes them attractive.
In my pricey metro area, there are many such "low-skill" jobs advertised in restaurant windows. (Side note: can we use another qualifier? Restaurant jobs in fact require quite a bit of skill - social awareness, customer service, observational, strategic time management, etc. Maybe it's not programming, but it's not really data entry either.) These jobs, even while paying $15 an hour, remain unfilled because there's nowhere within a 2 hour commute that an adult can rent a room and have money left over for food & life on that wage.
Creator of Complice here. I agree it's sad the rooms are empty! I thought it would be way easier than it turned out to be, to get a room off the ground. There are a few private ones that are consistently active, but for some reason I've had a lot of trouble getting a public one to stick.

Last summer when IndieHackers launched on HackerNews and Complice was one of the businesses featured there, I made a "Hacker Hall" room (https://complice.co/room/hackers) and posted it to Show HN. It had people in it for a few weeks but it never quite stabilized.

Based on the experience with the private rooms, I think it would only take a couple of champions--people spending most of their working hours there--for it to then be attractive to visitors. This thread probably has enough people to do it. I'd say just comment below if you're willing to hang out in the room consistently for the next few weeks, even if nobody else is there. And if a few people are up for it, then give it a shot. And let me know so I can support you in that!

I think the other thing that's needed is for at least a couple people to actually turn on their cameras, and to chat during the pomodoro breaks, so that people are actually connecting with each other.
He makes a lot more than 80k a year!

He's also getting about another 70k in benefits, for a total compensation well into the 6-figures.

People wonder "why is the subway so filthy?" Well, if you wanted to hire people to keep the subways clean, they would have to be paid $100K+ in total compensation.

Ok, so why not hire a private company to keep subways clean? A private company would be able to pay free-market compensation to hire cleaners.

Can't do that either! Subways must stay filthy!

I can't agree enough. GP should visit a country where if you're killed in a hit and run by a relative of a politician, it's expected that your death will be a suicide and you will receive no compensation. Or even a country where that's a milder event.
This reminds me of 'El Dinosaurio,' the shortest Spanish narrative:

The theory is simple. I'm somewhat inclined to think it is not so easily applicable.

It is easy to make a secure coprocessor, since the formal logic proofs aren't for such a long set of code.

The fact that rootkits are even possible, that without malware that doesn't involve an elaborate rewrite of the kernel, shows how terrible everything is.

Stupid comment. Would you relocated near Fukushima or Chernobyl? Maybe you should. You would educate yourself and change your mind. And you would have to life with the related health issues. (The same for evil greedy owners of such energy companies)
Interviews aren't only for the company to get a feel for you- it's also your chance to get a feel for the company. Would you want to work with someone who talked over you? How about someone more interested in boosting their own ego than doing their job (interviewing you)?

Another upvote for Code Sponsor! Been using it for almost a month or so, and it's pretty awesome.

Styfle already describes it very well, so I'm just gonna add that although I'm seeing a very shaky impression/click rate, and my clicks are below what I expected to receive, the payout is quite big for an ad/sponsor network like this. Also, it's much better than ad networks - no detailed tracking and more (listed below by cavneb)!
Itchy and Scratchy money huh. We all know how well that works.
The key point to remember is that Wikiepedia's goal is "verifiability, not truth". With that one fact they neatly sidestep a lot of the arguments from cranks and whatnot about including this or that fringe view out of a commitment to "truth". Truth isn't their goal: Wikipedia is meant to be an accumulation of best-guess knowledge at the current time. It may seem like a lower goal, but that's all any encyclopedia was ever supposed to be.
