Of course, I’d guess it’s more likely that our first evidence of extraterrestrial life would be of primitive microscopic life in our solar system. That would still have some major implications for science, religion, philosophy, etc., but probably not much more so than discoveries we’ve already experienced (like the age of the Earth/Universe, biological evolution, or quantum mechanics).

So many articles praising the new Firefox. Feels good but I am wondering now, or let's say 2018 when ff will for sure be faster than chrome, will Google change the annoyng notification they show you when you open Google that says browse Internet faster try Chrome?
Will they change that to Firefox?

Earth and Energy Elon Musk Fulfilled His Promise to Make Australian's Megabattery
I don't really understand - what's the catch?

Some other day I've heard the news they were sponsoring research that fat makes you fat.

Capitalism baby - profit for shareholders - we need https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_bottom_line so that it is legally OK not to harm people.
It's not just a semantic difference, it's normally a chemical one, and even in the US, very much a legal one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margarine

The EU has very strict definitions of this, and in the UK (for health reasons I expect), there is no market appetite for a spread that contains partially hydrogenated oils.

In the US, regulations are much more lax and substances that are considered unfit for mass market consumption in Europe (typically for health concerns), such as trans fats, are widely available in the US.

You can dress this up as a "stigma" or a "euphemism", but I call it reasonable consumer protection law.
Note that the commonly-used GNU implementations of tar and find both have info documentation which is much better than the manpages.
I’m not alcoholic myself, but I’ve known a number of high-functioning alcoholics. Here’s some opinions I have that I hope will be useful: the Sinclair Method seems to have the greatest success rates (America seems dominated by AA; what little data there is suggests it’s not actually very effective). If you’re drinking that much, you have a physical dependence. This is going to make it hard to give up, so don’t beat yourself up when you fail)
A perfect example of democracy not working and corporate capture in full display. You are sold some idealized version of an enlightened progressive society where your one vote in 4 years is of fundamental value when in the real world something altogether regressive is in action, and this is on display across industries.

Its appears it's not your vote but money that influences outcomes on a day to day basis, so back to quasi feudalism dressed up. Adam smith spoke about this, anti-regulation propaganda is transparently self serving by entrenched interests. Markets are not magic, there is no invisible hand and there is no perfect information.

Markets are created by people and like everything else in civilized life they need rules and regulation and if you want to adhere to democratic principles and build progressive societies they need to reflect the wishes and interests of the people.
I think I remember reading that a goal of StackOverflow was to essentially build comprehensive documentation of software in a question-answer format. That’s a neat idea. Most mature software has decent documentation in the form of a textbook or a technical manual, but it’s great to have everything documented in the form of “here’s an answer to every question you might have about this software.”

Even though I've fallen out of love with Matlab, its documentation is excellent. Brief description of the syntax for quick reference, a more detailed description, and finally detailed examples.
Often there are references to the academic work behind the function and links to broader topics.
Finally there's a bunch of related functions listed at the end which is great for discovering the vast array of Matlab's capabilities.

For example:

Just look at the amounts involved however - the UK is orders of magnitude better.

Ignoring differences of degree like that is a sure way to end up in a terrible situation: "it's bad anyhow, who cares if it gets worse?"
What about causality? It seems plausible that people would be more motivated to write unit tests for complex functions that are hard to gain cofidence in otherwise.
The Dream of a Flying Electric Vehicle Edges Closer
Soo... let's create a github repo and solve all these? :D
No kidding, and I am surprised this is the only comment on here pointing this out. This article is really quite sad, except for the small historical tidbits.

It really reminded me of the sad state of affairs that capitalism has brought us to: we are all tugging at the cart in different directions, not really caring which direction it ends up going in. As long as it is _our_ direction – as long as it is us making the money.
Hilariously, ITT are lots of comments saying that man is awful, in response to a pot about a "simplified and community-driven" alternative.

Breaking news: man pages are community-driven already. You can make them better in your distro of choice. The BSD projects are a little better IMHO at this than Linux because each project has a dedicated team trying to raise the bar and make their docs better than the next distro.

So don't make it simplified, don't hail "community-driven", just go and start making suggested changes with the rest of your favourite OS community!
I'm reading "Against the Grain" at the moment. It's good, but James Scott (the author) is also clearly a little out of his academic comfort zone in it - Scott is a political scientist & anthropologist, not an archaeologist. He also tends to repeat himself a lot.

Scott has also written "Seeing Like A State", a great book about, in its own words, "how certain schemes to improve the human condition have failed" - in particular, grand schemes by powerful central governments which forced pre-existing social and ecological arrangements into a form more understandable to central management, but in the process lost some essential flexibility.

Also related, an older piece in the same vein as "Against the Grain" is Jared Diamond's short essay "The Worst Mistake in the History of the Human Race": http://www.ditext.com/diamond/mistake.html (Jared Diamond is also not an archaeologist, however. I'm curious what archaeologists have to think about this line of reasoning in general.)
This is the most amazing thing about intelligence - that there is a g factor [0].

0. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_factor_(psychometrics)
I sometimes wonder if the libertarian future where governments, nation and civilization disappear to let technology reign over everything, is actually a relevant prediction.
The left and the techno-obsessed have a fanatical belief in progress. The right is more aware of the fragility of human nature and human institutions.

But both groups make their beliefs into reasons for killing people. The left kills people it thinks stand in the way of progress towards utopia. The right kills people it thinks threaten the purity or safety of what has already been built.
Simultaneously, capitalism doesn't work entirely with fully informed agents. Any amount of privacy undermines its efficiency.

Frankly, talking in extremes like that isn't likely to be helpful in deciding which regulatory agency should do what.
I really think it's important to highlight one of the points being made: That modern society - even western if you'd like - while begin awfully smug about it's freedoms, rarely translates this to literal freedom - leisure - for the vast majority of its people.

Elon Musk does have oversight, in the form of his investors. His creative vision had to pass through the scrutiny of the boards of those companies and individuals which invested in Tesla and SpaceX.

There's also plenty of cases of actual employees being innovative. The work produced by employees of SRI (e.g. Douglas Engelbart's team) and of Bell Labs eclipses Tesla and SpaceX in terms of innovation.
I kind of disagree.

In the flow of the game, it's hard for hot hand to exist and what you describe is `the zone`. But in a free throws game, there surely is a hot hand. I always get the first few hit/miss, but when I finally feel calibrated with my stance and my hand `whip` and get a hit I like, then the next one is probably a hit again and after that I can streak for at least 4-5 shots.

That Stack Overflow web log entry is poorly researched, by the way. As I can attest from my own WWW site's statistics, there are reasons that a WWW site can have Ukraine at the top that have nothing to do with real people viewing relevant WWW pages, so conclusions such as

are complete rubbish. One has to account for WWW browsers that pre-load pages, and WWW sites that feed stuff scraped from the likes of Wikipedia, Stack Exchange, my WWW site, and lots of others to WWW spiders: something that seems, from my statistics for this month so far, to be very popular for banking and pharmaceutical scam WWW sites in the Ukraine and the Russian Federation.

Entangle the spins of two electrons; put one on Pluto and keep the other on Earth. How do you propose to send your FTL single bit?

The usual idea is that since "wave function collapse is instantaneous" we can measure the spin on Earth, collapse the superposition and then Pluto can "notice the collapse".

However, there's no way to notice that entagled particles have decohered without looking at both of them side by side. Or said another way, the entire planet Earth could be entagled with some giant blob of matter in an alien lab in Andromeda, but we have no way of discovering this without comparing Earth matter with the alien lab matter.

As far as the content and organisation goes, they're basically doing everything right that manpages do wrong.

They separate tutorial and reference documentation, don't collapse under their own weight when they get large, and have a way to find the documentation for a particular short option.

The original standalone terminal reader was pretty poor, though. These days use pinfo or the html version if you're not an emacs user.

For a good example, compare `man sed` with `pinfo sed`.
Ask HN: How to Find a Growth / Marketing Business Partner?
As a software developer, I've had hundreds of ideas and never really launched anything meaningful, in fact most of my products I've started never saw the light of day.

I've decided to build 12 lean side projects in a single year. I would like to find someone who has experiencing with user acquisition to partner up 50/50 on these.

I'm a bit of an introvert and have Autism, so meeting people is always a challenge for me.

My question is how would you as a dev find a partner in growth and marketing to launch businesses with little to no startup capital for marketing?
Have you successfully convinced any distro to deviate from the normal structure of a man page? If not, I don't believe your suggestion is very realistic.
You could give zero-tier a go. It supports that case and asked you to build a whole network, not just tunnel ssh.
dash is web documentation kept offline with limited search added on top of it. it's basically a browser window...
>That's an argument from authority and argument from ignorance.

It's neither. I just asked you where you got your ideas from. And it sounds like you are dismissing an entire field of scholarship because you thought about this really really hard.
Of course, many man pages have an EXAMPLES section. You can search for it with `/EXAMPLES` when viewing the man page.

How do you determine you are a slow metabolizer of caffeine?
Yes, that's a quite common design. It might be forbidden if you expose that outside the device, but in electronics internal to the device you can do that no problem.
Very good point.

Good creative collaboration is never democratic or equal (counterexamples?). Great projects must have a lead architect. The innovation must fit inside one head that balances all aspects and makes the decisions. 'The lone contemplation' works in all levels if you have good hierarchy. You don't need to fit your ideas to everyone else's and compromise.

Creative collaboration and innovation has always existed and flourished in hierarchical settings. Architectural firms, advertisement agencies, industrial design firms, and scientific and technical R&D labs all have group of creative people working together in groups.

In my personal experience it's easier to convey idea first to the lead, then you both explain it to the whole group for the feedback. Eventually the lead decides what happens. Pitching to the group usually waters down the idea (brainstorming is different).

At least in bash 4.4, the manpage and the info page are two different documents.

I am not an expert and I might be well be wrong, but I decided to stop reading this paper after page 28 because I thought it is, well, not serious research and IMHO BS. I decided then to lookup the authors in google and scholar, and came up just with this paper, no other info or any academic background as far as I can tell; there is a Ben Moseley from Washington Uni, but his paper is not listed among his papers so I assume it is a different Ben.

I would have expected the authors of a paper that makes such revolutionary and sweeping claims to have more of a trail.

But of course, you have to judge a paper by its content.

The reason I stopped is because they quote heavily from a well respected book (often described as an updated SICP) that I am studying now, "Concepts, Techniques and Models of Computer Programming", and my interpretation of what the book says is at odds from how they apply it in the paper.

For instance, in the book the difference between a formal specification and an informal one is not in precision, but in that the formal one uses a mathematical language. However, in the paper it says that a formal specification is the same as formal requirements (synthesised by the engineer), which are different from informal ones from the user. These definitions can't both be right.

They also claim that in the ideal world control (basically order) can be entirely omitted. But what if from the user's informal requirements we must deduct that there are events that the user expects to be ordered?

The paper also claims that concurrency is not relevant in an ideal world, given that all operations are instantaneous. This would be impossible if there indeed there would be essential control, given that parallelism in the world is inescapable.

At this point I was convinced that I was wasting my time, and now I know why this paper hasn't had any impact in the mainstream, as one commentator has wondered.

Most economies use representative currency. In many places, notes and coins are largely worthless.

Cryptocurrencies differ mainly by being virtual. Given that notes are usually used to represent the larger sums of money, the virtual aspect becomes mostly semantic. Given that most people store their money in banks, who don't have all that money on hand at any point in time (hence why they collapse), then the virtual factor begins to matter even less.

I don't use bitcoin (or equivalent) for pragmatic reasons. Your point however seems to be about its collective abstraction. If you were being consistent, you would have to be against most mainstream currencies as well. This is not a pragmatic or scalable method of commerce. It very quickly become tedious to trade with items that are of only concrete, immediate value to both parties. Try to imagine how online purchases, or warehouses, would function. There's a good reason why virtually every civilisation swapped to representative currency after reaching a certain size.
Serious question: why would one buy Bitcoin except for holding on to it? That seems like a very unhealthy reason imho...

What about brainstorming, the phenomenon where people inspire each other by building upon each others' ideas ? For me it tends to result in solutions neither of us would come up with alone. Sometimes it even comes out of misunderstanding of another person's intention - like, you read a forum thread title, an issue or a newspaper headline and think it implies something else.
