My statement does not imply what you say it does. My statement is about religious conservatives and defining a characteristic of such people. It does not define greedy people. My statement isn't even about greed it's about a subset of the people who have the haunting fear that someone, somewhere is getting something they don't deserve. This isn't the same thing as greed.

When I say that religious conservatism is the haunting fear that someone, somewhere is getting something they don't deserve, I am defining a characteristic of the set of people who are religious conservatives. That set of people may have other characteristics and, here's the important thing, the set of people who have the haunting fear that I described is itself not described. Other people may have this same haunting fear and not be religious conservatives. I have merely posited that the set of religious conservatives is a subset of the set of people with the aforementioned haunting fear. A Venn diagram may be useful.

If I had said that one has the haunting fear if and only if they are a religious conservative then you'd be correct in your interpretation. But I did not say this. I did not make any claims about non-relgious conservatives or any other group. Therefore any conclusion on what I believe about these other groups is not logically supported by what I wrote.

Again, clearly the statement was merely an attempt at wit and not meant to be taken literally. It's hyperbole.

Then, there's the Houston bus system ca. mid 2000's, where the bus might leave several minutes early or several minutes late. Imagine not making your connection in 100+ degree Fahrenheit 90+ humidity while dressed for a job interview. Contrast this with the Minneapolis bus system, where you could time the busses at stops within 2 minutes in the central city, even while a foot of snow covered the ground. Both systems used essentially the same equipment -- same models and manufacturers.

Exactly.

First, net neutrality rules have NEVER been in force. The internet you use today operates WITHOUT any government net neutrality regulations.

Not everyone is in favor of net neutrality. An excellent article about very valid reasons to oppose it:
https://medium.com/@RiaanDeBeer/net-neutrality-isnt-what-you...

You can agree or disagree but the point is that not everyone thinks it's a good idea and not all of those people are corrupt politicians.

I've never seen such one-sided irrational discourse over a question of govt regulation before.
The only way we'll change education is to disrupt the classroom from a systemic point of view. We have to prove there is a better way. That can only be done with high quality content newly constructed for interactivity.

This is where Pearson, Britannica, et al fail. They have a library of content created over decades with a guaranteed state-driven pipeline into classrooms. This content is specifically created by old school experts specifically for printed chapters in a bound book.

Creating real interactive content would require content experts work within an interactive digital agency framework, which would require a sizable R&D budget with a lot of trial and error. We're talking millions of dollars spent before a completed product was available.

But here's the upside. Textbooks cost each state roughly $100 per student per year. An online system might charge a fraction of that (Textfyre targeted $1/student/year).

Imagine the state of Illinois saving $99 per student per year over several years.

The investment is risky to a degree, but I view it no differently than Kennedy choosing to go to the moon. You decide to do it. You find the best and the brightest to enable the vision. You enact the vision. There is an upfront cost, but the vision and results would alter the course of history in the world.

Interactive, adaptable education systems are the future. They would be able to reach everyone on the planet regardless of age, gender, politics, class, or any other identity labels.

I have a second start-up (Wizely). I'll probably keep swinging if it doesn't hit a nerve. If I ever have one succeed and make (a lot of) money, I will re-invest my profits into education and what I call positive social engagement.

My advice to ed-tech startups. Find a way to make money, but immediately redirect all profits to attacking the classroom. That's where we need the R&D to go. As the OP said, consumer-based ed-tech has its limits.

The classroom is where we need to drive innovation.
I think you are talking about something different. The parent is saying that little-r racism isn't the result of one single person deliberately trying to be racist towards someone, it's the aggregate of things people do collectively without thinking about it that are racist. For example, someone named DeQuan is less likely to get an interview callback compared to John, even if they have the same resumes. Or instead, a black teenager is a lot more likely to have the cops called on him for walking down the street in a residential area than a white teenager. It has less to do with intention and more to do with implicit biases that collectively result in systemic discrimination

Even if it's 10 - is it a problem? Classical Unix shell tools and build tools spawn hundreds of processes and communicate with pipes between them. And still most people don't mind because the overhead is not noticeable. The amount of overhead for the few long-living language-server processes should be far lower than that.
What you're missing is that growing up there simply _weren't_ people outside my community/culture. It was much less about systematic racism and much more about who chose to immigrate to specific regions in the late 19th century.

What you're talking about are things that happened in larger cities, but that's not the whole world and that doesn't match the history of much of the midwest.

The parent was right, if there is discrimination it's about culture not color. There were a few adopted children with heritage from different parts of the world and as far as I could ever tell, they were treated the same as anyone.

The discrimination you did see to any degree was on a protestant/catholic split and whether you lived in a relatively richer part of town.

I just didn't see racial hatred growing up. Actual racism was a foreign concept until I left. Something you saw on TV, not in real life. I'm aware that it isn't necessarily something I would have always seen... but I have seen racism since I left in a way that I definitely did not before.

Hey HN! I'm a software developer at YC and the author of this post.

This post is actually a bit of an experiment. We're trying to find better ways to get prospective startup founders (which includes many of us in the HN community) in contact with problems that really ought to be solved. We have lots of different ideas for ways to do that, but a list of ideas seemed like an easy one to try out first. Please let me know if you can think of a better/different way of accomplishing this goal!

As to why we're doing this -- more great startups is good news for YC, even if they don't immediately apply to our program. We'd much rather spend our time trying to grow the ecosystem as a whole and maybe capture a small part of that than trying to immediately monetize everything we build.

The idea of a land-value tax has plenty of proponents less controversial than Lenin.

Invoking Lenin doesn't really serve any purpose in this debate, it's just one rung above pointing your finger and shrieking about "communism" and "preserving judeo-christian civilization."

"Average User" is a strawman. We really need to stop using that term in software development, but Linux Desktop people especially need to stop using it because to them "Average User" is some drooling moron who uses the CD tray as a cup holder. To the extent that "Average User" ever existed, he has largely moved on to using a phone or tablet anyway.

Also, I disagree that it is getting better every year. Individual pieces may work better once they're properly configured, but on the whole the system is becoming more and more of a complicated kludge of intertwined, abstracted, obfuscated, and otherwise non-transparent mechanisms. I personally don't see much hope for it as long as that trend continues.
homebrew will install pip3 along with python3; on my install, python3 packages go in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages while python (2.7) packages go in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages . I can't understand the complaint except for having to type 3 I guess?

Many Magic cards can create "tokens" which don't count as cards, but can operate in the same way as cards in many ways.

You can have as many tokens as you can create. The MTM (Magic Turing Machine) seems to rely on this.

It's actually within the rules to "go infinite" with tokens. For example, you have a Foo which taps (is spent) to create a Bar token. The Bar token can untap (reset) Foo. Since you can do this as much as possible, within the rules you effectively just simulate that you can repeat the combo, pick a number (100, 1 million or 1 Googolplex), and you have that many.

The proof is much more complex than that, using various creature types (zombie, rats, etc.) and other game states, but that is how the infinite memory problem can be overcome.

It's also worth noting that the infinite memory requirements is often ignored when showing Turing Completeness.

Yeah, I describe this as "exotic-ism", many midwesterners don't really like different things from them, except in a tourist sort of way. However, I think that even if someone in their town is the same as them except for skin color, they'll still treat that person a little different. It's a stretch to say they are colorblind except for cultural differences.

Let's be honest, A lot of peoples experience with Python is restricted to the North America.

For these folks encountering anything other than ASCII is pretty uncommon.

Personally, I've worked on a Python 2.x project deployed in heavy industry across the globe including Japan and the number of times we had Python 2 unicode nightmare issues was too many to mention.
True, but this is a game with no intention of being Turing complete. Yet there is a set of cards and mechanics within an "innocuous" game that resulted in a Turing Machine.

5,000 megatons would be enough to destroy every major and semi-major city on the planet, literally.

There are 4,416 cities on the planet with 150k+ population. 10 100kt bombs are more than enough to destroy most cities on the planet, at least when you define "destroy" as "most everything is broken and/or on fire and most people are dead within 1 year's time".

After your 10-nukes-per-city campaign, you've still got another 5,840 100kt bombs left in your 5,000 megaton budget to divide among the largest cities (NYC, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Tehran, etc.).

I'm stating this because I don't think it's too useful to predict the secondary effects (nuclear winter, etc.) of a war so terrible that basically everyone on the planet would already be dead (from blast, fire, etc.) or dying within a year's time (radiation, starvation from infrastructure collapse, etc.).
The tape is actually very simple.

+1/+1 counters on Zombies represent the tape to the right.
+1/+1 counters on Yetis represent the tape to the left.

Whenever you reach the "end of Tape" (ie: All your Zombies are now Yetis), there's a trigger that creates a new Zombie token. Effectively creating "infinite tape". I didn't read to see how it worked on the "Yeti side", but I presume its the same concept.

Moving the tape back and forth is about putting -1/-1 counters on Yetis and +1/+1 counters on Zombies, or vice versa. Death triggers convert Yetis into Zombies and vice versa.

There are 18-states representing the "tape head" (which I presume to be the current creature with zero counters on it). I haven't really looked into how it works, but "Halt" state is pretty amusing actually. The "Halt" state kills all players, which "Halts" the program.
The police is tasked with physically restraining and imprisoning certain people. That's violence, whether they do it with a gun or not. Litla-Hraun is not an hotel.

Considerations about the aggressiveness of the US police force specifically are certainly an important topic, but wholly irrelevant here. I'm not from the US, nor was their brand of policing on my mind when commented.
> The Chinese experience with Opium in the 1800's was terrible and very damaging to their society.

To play devil's advocate, China had loads of Opium pumped in by the British to pay for their tea debts. The British countered any attempt to regulate it, so they could keep their markets open. Opium is a dangerous substance, but I'd be interested to see what a well regulated opium market looks like. Unrefined opium is in the same ballpark as alcohol for addicitiveness.
Interesting, how did you implement rev-share from ad revenues?

The modern left-wing view of racism is as a systematic, structural power relationship between races. Individual decisions branching on skin color is neither necessary nor sufficient to get there, although it can and historically has contributed.

For example, divesting from your neighborhood out of concern for your property value when PoC start to move in does not necessarily reflect an individual racial bias. It could be a purely rational economic calculation based on other people’s biases. It’s still the bread and butter of the system of racism.

Just like discrimination that branches on culture or class and only incidentally produces outcomes along racial lines.
An aside: I'm writing a toy language without operator-specific precedence and it's surprisingly readable. One trick is to treat expressions without spaces (a+b) as higher precedence than expressions with spaces (a + b). This is enough to write many formulas in an intuitive way, with few parentheses.
If this was truly a heartfelt article, I doubt it would have cast Kairos as the only do-gooder in this industry. The focus on helping the US Midwest is straight from Kairos’ thesis.

Most honest articles about SV’s shortfalls focus on bigger problems, like global war, famine, or extreme poverty.
This is a question of which came first the chicken or the egg?

Is the fact that cultures are represented unevenly in society the fault of the non-dominant cultures or the dominant culture?

Is poverty and chronic stress cause by culture or is it caused by racist systems?

It might be a cycle but if people weren't racists then it might be easier to break the cycle.

Personally, I love multiculturalism. Being a white guy growing up in an almost exclusively white area gets to be monotonous. Dealing with people from other cultures is a lot more fun than dealing with people like me.

I always find it unbelievable that they let these kinds of hierarchies arise in prisons, especially in American prisons (from what I've heard, European prisons have it too, but to a much lesser degree). Someone told me they allow it on purpose to help keep order. Maybe it is also a consequence of overfull, understaffed prisons.

It's probably naive, but one thing I would do if I was in charge would be to aggressively break up any kind of hierarchy or authority among inmates - not least to prevent prison from turning into a "crime school".

Edit: some people suggest these gangs arise due to the size of prisons and the large inflow of new inmates [1], whereas in the old days (-1950s) prison used to organize itself according to some kind of convict code.

The apple sauce line is amusing, and I'm sure you know all the following, but even in Newtonian mechanics, potential and kinetic energies are frame dependent; for example the latter is rotationally but not Galilean invariant.

In modern gravitational physics you can treat components of the Einstein or stress-energy tensors as like these energies, e.g. for a family of observers, the apple-breaking kinetic energy is like the pressure components (T^ij, i=j, i!=0 ~ \gamma mv^2) and mostly in T^zz or T^rr or whichever, depending on one's choice of system of coordinates. However, simply by changing frame of reference, at each point where we find the apple/applesauce transition we can shuffle the whole of T^zz into one or more of the other components in G = T (keeping that relation invariant), and it is really stretching things to suggest that a change of coordinates is a process in the sense of the question in your first sentence.

> In general relativity black holes are not actually comprised of matter---they're entirely warping of spacetime

Well, that's not true of stellar collapse black holes; whatever you want to make of the trapping surface / apparent horizon, it encloses matter that existed before that formed. You don't need quantum anything, or even any future infalling, to deal with the fact that there is real matter inside at the time of formation.

The Schwarzschild vacuum solution is matter-free, but then astrophysical black holes of all masses and all origins generally do not truly source the Schwarzschild metric, just a usefully close approximation.

What you can say is that whatever's inside a black hole, eventually it will bald all its "hair" and can be effectively described (by an outside observer) at any point in time in terms of its spatial position (3 components), linear momentum (3 components), angular momentum (3 components), electromagnetic charge (1 component), and mass (1 component), with any other features irrelevant in the Kenneth Wilson sense. That is, eventually it doesn't matter whether it was all neutron degenerate matter or whether there were some other particles inside the horizon when it formed, but there was some matter there: the apparent horizon around V616 Monocerotis didn't just pop up spontaneously far from any matter.

Quantum gravity only matters if you want to make guesses about what state the matter is in within the horizon (assuming you're unhappy about it inevitably being crunched into an infinitesimal point as in classical General Relativity), or about what it looks like when during evaporation the horizon retreats far enough to expose that state. I'll assume you favour keeping unitarity in any solution to the AMPS firewalls problem, and would happily ditch the apparent validity of the EFT outside the horizon. :-)
