The grid of cells is your memory space. Coders like looking at a stack. Spreadsheet users like looking at the registers.

Which you prefer depends to some extent on which end of the problem you're coming from; if you're starting out with a lot of domain knowledge, a spreadsheet is attractive because you can look at the data, see whether the way it's being stored/processed is basically correct by spot checking it, and then automate. I'll still often reach for a spreadsheet if I don't know off the top of my head what the rules or relationships are and I need the equivalent of a whiteboard with logic.

If you have a top-down perspective and you want to automate a process whose fundamentals you know well, code is more comfortable. And you can go back and expand, modify, or adjust it later. But two things I don't like about code for handling large volumes of data are that I have to construct some sort of viewer to format the output (requiring more coding, or slower bug discovery if I press ahead without), and endless typing I like selecting things from menus and tool palettes because while I don't mind holding an instruction set in my head I don't like doing the same for every library I might want to use, especially remembering all the parameters. I hate hate hate writing glue code and want the computer to do that stuff for me.

Fortunately a lot of these problems seem to be receding thanks to tools like Jupyter and some of the promising Flow-based programming tools that let you easily visualize structure, code, and visualization without getting bogged down in details.

I should add that I prefer hacking to software engineering; that is, I'm only interested in programming as a means to an end of having a customizable tool for myself rather than building a product for other people, so I want spend as little of my time as possible on constructing the tool.

> In the cases for attacks that the protocol cannot slash for, the community can fork the network an exclude the attacker's accounts […]

Forks are always possible but, they’re not the solution, they’re the problem that a blockchain tries to avoid in the first place, because they lead to the issue: which chain do we follow?

If the community were able to organize itself to reach consensus on a given transaction history, we wouldn't need a blockchain in the first place.

"Continuing Transparency on Russian Activity" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15758852
"It is important that people understand how foreign actors tried to sow division and mistrust using Facebook before and after the 2016 US election."

FB angered the US government by allowing foreign agents to use its tools. So that's only an example of Russians using it on Americans. Now imagine how the US government is using it. You are not going to see it in this "Transparency" report that's for sure.

That kind of shit is frustratingly common these days. I sometimes use the search box in the Twitter app to navigate to one of the profiles I follow. So I tap on the magnifying glass, enter the first few letters of the account name, see the account in the search results (immediately, because it has my list of followed accounts cached locally, I guess), and I tap on that account ^W^W the completely irrelevant search result that appeared a fraction of a second before my finger touched the glass.

I'm a heterosexual man, so nothing at all would be exciting for me.

But I'm willing to consider that others would find it exciting. And quite frankly, I can think of quite a few ladies I know who might.

Only on Hacker News would we consider making over a billion dollars "absolute peanuts," and criticize Thiel for not being enough of a visionary to wait.

When you're Thiel, having the money liquid is more valuable than waiting. One way to look at is that he could have 5x'd the money had he not touched it. But I'd bet whatever he did with the money since the 2012 IPO (starting companies, investing in companies, etc) had a much better return than 5x.
There's an interesting book on this topic that discusses both how it happened and what that does to our brains and bodies - "The Hacking of the American Mind" by Robert Lustig [1]. The book also is about other ways our brain is affected by a substance or behavior, but mostly about sugar. I highly recommend it.

"hit piece by big Pharma" seems a bit overstated. It has the same lack of nuance that an accusation by drug companies often make against AMA as a cartel in defending drug pricing. There are examples of gross abuses and genuine value on both sides of this--and also in hospital administrators and insurance ( did I leave anyone out?) Side note: My personal experience leads me to think that many specialist physicians are more than fairly compensated, and good nurses are less so for their value.
Why are you and the article using TWh/year? Why not just use watts? By my math...

= 1.7 GW

Searching with start menu on Windows 7 was lightning quick. On Windows 10 it takes forever to find the simplest thing, and like you said, it's worse than normal string match search, half the time it won't even find what you're looking for because the word you searched for is the second word in the name.

> Physicians that you see in the office won't detect those reasons ABC and save you from death.

Any hard research showing this? Something that addresses confounding factors, overburdened doctors, etc.? Is there a study showing that spending 30 minutes with a physician is equivalent to 30 minutes with an RN or PA for all outcomes (not just death)? I have a feeling we're all acting like medical experts in this thread even though very few of us are. It's like when we see research about programming methodologies and are able to poke so many holes in the study it becomes swiss cheese.
Whether there is a reason or not for it to exist is a moot point. Why must it be illegal to sell such a service?
See, I thought Cortana was Microsoft's name for their voice assistant on Windows 10 or something. Now everything is starting to make sense. I kept having issues using the Windows menu search in Windows 10. I'd type "remov" and it would show the menu item for uninstalling applications. Great. But if I accidentally finished and typed "remove" the result would disappear. I felt like I was going crazy or something. Comforting to know everyone is having similar problems ... though still just as bewildering as to why it's happening in the first place.

It's weird that there are no great "magic search" tools on any desktop environment I've used. Windows 7 is close, but doesn't include any fancy results (can't have it do quick math, etc). Mac's Spotlight gets everything right, except it won't open a new window if I type, say, "firefox". It'll just pull up a window I already have open (no way to change that behavior without weird hacks). Unity's gets confused and breaks too often. Cinnamon's sorts results alphabetically. Gnome's is fairly close to ideal, though it forgets launch history too quickly (if I type "calc" and select LibreOffice's Calc just _once_ it'll start showing that first, instead of Calculator which I want 95% of the time when typing "calc").
Just glancing through the sight it seems like some things like his insulation strategy are a bit poorly though out.

Google around a bit on you'll see there is a lot of debate on how to deal with condensation to prevent rusting out the metal of your van. It isn't clear if he's intending his system to deal with this by creating a vapor barrier with all that spray foam or if he's just going to end up with a bunch of condensation trapped in the space between the foam and the metal leading to rust.

And reflextix isn't particularly useful between two layers where it isn't exposed to radiant heat to reflect so I think he just wasted a bunch of money sticking it under the foam.
All this fighting for trying to convince the FCC not to dismantle net neutrality. This cause is lost. It was lost a year ago when Trump got elected. Fight in your state legislature to repeal any laws blocking municipal broadband then get it built locally. Bankrupt the big ISPs by providing better alternatives everywhere. Do it from the ground up. Two phone calls won't save you now. That's the road forward. No other way.

Neutrality is a fix for a monopoly. Monopolies won't get fixed because of the geographical scale and the politics involved.

The UK 'unbundled' its internet about 15 years ago, where each (usually around 10 in urban areas) ISP has equal access to the line between a local exchange and the end user. They also buy bandwidth on the big pipes between the local exchanges and the internet, or lays their own pipes. It's the true fix, where neutrality is a realistic fix (that you might need either way).
I thought exactly the same thing but wasn't dedicated enough to do the calculation.

I'm not against home made networks (see: your Detroit youtube video), but you need more formality (ownership entities, local gov partnership/sponsorship) to ensure a high level of service, community buy in, and financing.

Nuanced and HN pretty much mutually exclusive. Additionally, on low-quality, given the level of discourse with in the US in general this is PBS level here! HN is pretty much 20-ish people whom think that you can have an actual discussion on the internet, and those over 30 who have enough experiential data to realize that will not happen. So where would you be on position Facebook's market cap and contribution to humanity has a whole are both overly valued but that within the vaccum of Silicon Valley there is more of a drive to be successful (make them dolla billz y'all) than advance mankind as a whole. And I will even conceded that Palantir would be the most vexing for me. In that it has enabled some rather spectacular work at the Nation-State level in making data accessible and malleable, but is the reason why the freedom of data movement is most at risk.

> censorship-resistant decentralized payment system

Does it achieve any of those words in practice?

“Censorship resistant” - Regulatory authorities are seemingly having as much impact on bitcoin as any other financial instrument.

“Decentralized” - It is not particularly decentralized. The fact that multiple nodes maintain the same log provides very little decentralization of much of anything. Here’s folks representing 90% of the hashing power of bitcoin on a stage: https://mobile.twitter.com/lopp/status/673398201307664384?la... That’s about the same number of people on the board of governors for the US federal reserve, to be fair. But to be fairer, the US dollar is one of 200 or so nation state backed currencies in the world and the federal reserve can’t invalidate transactions that have already occurred using their currency.

“Payment system” - It is not doing very well at that at all. Almost every competing payment system offers more predictable and consumer friendly behavior.
This must be costing you a lot. Do you have plans to monetize?

Doctors have a hard time, but you can't lower US healthcare costs without lowering the salaries of those involved (which is why it is so hard). The fact of the matter is that they are high for reasons both justifiable and other less so.

Insurance companies profit margin is actually not very large on average (~11% I believe -- even worse for those in states with cost-spiraling providers post Obamacare), and while they are nobody's favorite they take a disproportionate amount of heat for what is driving up costs in healthcare.

Healthcare salaries are the bulk of the costs of the healthcare industry, just like administrative & teacher salaries are the bulk in bloated education budgets (well, outside of things like waste on things like sports programs). That's just the breaks, and its important to acknowledge they are a lobbying interest group as strong as any other (actually, one of the strongest/highest spending)

So, shortage of doctor supply (like with housing) really really has an impact. It also does not help that hospitals frequently have veto rights over other health institutions opening up on their turf. Really. Another problem is regulations that encourage consolidation of providers (see BCBS & Partners here in MA) further diminishing pricing ability (and this is additionally really bad for insurance companies, who have less leverage to fight back against high charges from fewer hospital networks)

The fact of the matter is that the US over-spends on just about every sector of the economy because the US is richer. Richer countries also disproportionately spend on healthcare of frequently marginal benefit at best.

https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2017-07-20/spending-...

Not sure what the military budget has to do with this. It's a lot, but that it is bloated doesn't mean more health spending is justified or that we do not over-spend on doctors -- they aren't comparable things.

Whatever sacrifice doctors make in school is what justifies the salaries, but you also have other forces at play (largely regulatory burden, or bad regulations generally) that are causing them to drop out of being a GP in the first place as they chase higher paying spots as specialists.

project.assets.json (and everything in /obj) is a build artifact, not source code. Would you include .o files in the weight of a sample C project ?

applicationhost.config (and everything in .vs) is local configuration for your editor (Visual Studio 15, it appears), not source code. Would you include .emacs.d in the weight of a sample project ?

Every folder in /wwwroot/lib/ that contains a .bower.json file is a local package cache, not source code. You don't have to commit it, just run bower when building your solution (if it's not done automatically for you) to restore them. If those were .dll or .pdb files instead of .min.js and .map, would you count them ?

The remaining two hundred lines of code are the contents of the "Sample" project, written to illustrate ASP.NET Core.
Yes, exactly. All of KVM, HAXM and the OSX Hypervisor.Framework are basically providing APIs to user applications that encapsulate the CPU's virtualization capability so that you can use it to implement VMs without needing kernel privilege. They differ in how high a level of abstraction they provide (eg KVM does a lot more for you in the kernel, H.f punts to userspace for everything), but the principle is the same.

Maybe not the best one, but certainly seems to be the same claim evaluated differently.

TBH, it doesn't even have to be a different politician - here's Obama saying famous "77 cent on the dollar" and gets "mostly false" http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2012/jun/... here is essentially the same getting "mostly true" http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2014/jan/...
Did women pay drop significantly in these two years? Probably not. If you read the conclusion, it's saying practically the same thing - yes, raw statistic is saying that, but it does not mean what people quoting it mean (that women are routinely discriminated in pay - i.e. maybe they are, but that specific statistic does not point to that conclusion and should not be used as an argument). But one time it gets "false", another time it gets "true". Why? Who knows. Certainly very short of "objective truth".
