Actually, after that sentence they do a completely straight explanation of an interesting research project, and don't mention the potential analogy until the end, where they again go out of their way to say that isn't the point.
You might be right, but I think older examples say from 2007 or before would be more relevant than recent outrage which might not last.
>And since military relies on the USD for funding, you could probably assume that the USD is going nowhere as long the US military is powerful (with some hand waving), which looks like a good bet.

But that is not income and would only put the US in debt, devaluing the USD.

I think the point he was alluding to is that countries hold a significant chunk of their foreign reserves in USD, which keeps demand for USD high. Other than the obvious trade aspect, one of the major reasons countries do so is because they purchase goods and services from the US military. (e.g. Japan, South Korea).
There are those of us who have been writing C++ for decades and are sick of the footguns and build systems but have never had a viable alternative before.

I don't think anyone is arguing that we should throw everything out, however for all my greenfield stuff Rust has been a welcome breath of fresh air. Yeah, there are some people who are a little too over the top but a large part of the support behind Rust is from those of us who've used it in production and found it to be a fantastic language and ecosystem.

You should take another glance at the article. It's actually quite good (in the topic, not the one you linked, I share your distaste for Thomas Friedman).

It doesn't say anything about the situation in Yemen, it's just a solid investigative piece about whether the missile was actually intercepted.
We don't "know" it, but that is the usual experience. Why should someone put more effort and cost in making a fake? Typical fakes - and lets not even get started on replacement parts for cars or even airplanes - are not only carbon copies to save the design effort, they are not using the same production processes. And these are very important insuring the quality of the product. Fakes might use cheaper alloys, the production process itself might not be as required and quality control missing. And so a fake bolt can have only the fraction of the load capacity of the original one.

Edit:
And of course, the beauty with a fake is, that if it fails, the blame does not fall onto the producer of the fake, but even possibly of the original brand ribbed of... another incentive not to make overly well built fakes.

Given the arbitrary nature of "race", this strikes me as splitting hairs. We group so many races under the umbrella of "white" that I think it's fairly safe to include discrimination against "the other" as racism, but that just shows the arbitrariness of race as a classification.
It depends on what kind of missile you want to hit. A scud is very different from an ICBM, which are both quite different from anti-ship and some of the area denial weapons.
It might be legal. It might not.

The problem is this needs to be challenged in court. Until the Supremes rule on this, it's all speculation. That said, I've never even heard a theory stated in support of why it might be lawful.

I'd say the reason why we are miserable is because of the media and the increased consumption of rubbish clickbait from the media.

My sarb035 has uneven marks. The minute marks are clearly made in a separate step from the subminute marks, but they're also inconsistently spaced between (different amounts of space left and right of the minute mark, but it's different for each minute too). It's almost like there's somebody manually turning a machine and eyeballing the angle. That might in fact be true... The same is true of every high-res picture of a sarb033 and 035 I've seen. I have a vague memory you can see chapter ring problems with some more expensive models, but it looks like the new 41mm Presage has a perfect chapter ring.

My rule at this point is to avoid Seiko chapter rings, unless it's a Grand Seiko or I can see it in-store.

I'd bet Casio has perfect chapter rings at every price.

Yea, we do the whole toy donation thing at least twice a year, and have always done it so it's not weird to our daughter. Bonus is she understands that other kids will get to play with the toys, so she has fun picking out the ones she thinks these unnamed kids will have the most fun with. She now thinks that everything is supposed to be donated when you're done with it, which is kind of a cute and semi-healthy outlook (she told me that after we're done living in our house we should donate it to some other family).

> Rust has been self-hosted for almost as long as it's existed. The boostrapping OCaml compiler was left behind back in 2011.

Not on x86 which is what this whole conversation is talking about. So if OpenBSD used rust in base they would have to drop support for x86.
This is a fascinating insight, and one I have not come across before. Thank you!

I'm curious - what are your feelings on the strategy of spending so many years in the private school then switching to public for high school? I gather that it was a pretty big jump so far as personal freedoms - do you feel as though you were able to get more out of high school than those around you, or did you feel unnecessarily restrained?
> This is weak theoretical propaganda pushed by biased amateurs.

How so? What makes these authors biased. I'm genuinely interested. I haven't read their bio, but what makes these people biased against the current model of sexuality or for the alternative one?

> From a purely anecdotal perspective (which is pretty much what that book is)

It's hard to avoid anecdotes in this subject matter. Yes, the book gathers bits and pieces from different disciplines to look at how developed societies behave sexually, and contrasts that with prehistoric sexuality (which we know little of) and sexuality in some less developed societies and close primates. They show that an alternative narrative of human sexuality fits many of the known facts (and best guesses) better than the standard one. Is anyone sure that either of these narratives is correct? No. Can anyone point to anything but anecdotes to support either one? I think not. That doesn't mean that the idea should be dismissed.

> if you actually take a random sampling of regular humans in pretty much any developed society, they are woefully unequipped to handle non-monogamy, even when they are both in favor of it.

We are unequipped at the societal level. The book claims that we are equipped at the biological one. With divorce, infidelity and depression rates being what they are, I'm not sure anyone can claim that we're any better equipped to handle the current model. Also, there's a difference between being socially unequipped and being biologically unequipped. If tomorrow's society decides to turn veterinarian, a few generations from now will be socially unequipped to eating meat. They won't find meat in the stores, and might even consider eating meat a taboo of sorts. That doesn't mean that they'll be unable to eat meat, or that the smell or taste of meat will stop being appealing.

> Even if this were the case, though, it may take another 10,000 years to outgrow these emotional bonds, making non-monogamy akin to emotional masochism!

That doesn't mean that Sex at Dawn's model is wrong. It just says that you wish it were wrong. That's hardly the same thing.

> Regardless of what you think of the book or its theories, none of it will change how humans relate today.

Agreed. But we're having a discussion, aren't we? No one is saying anything about changing how humans behave.

> It's more important to understand how current societal trends developed in recent history through the use of pressure from social groups (using factors like religion, environment, or government) to suppress alternative lifestyle choices.

Why is that more important? Maybe that's what some people would like to discuss, that doesn't make it more important. Perhaps that whole discussion is moot since it start with an incorrect premise.
It sounds and seems like a language worthy of more investigation on my part, but I have to agree that the militant, presumptive attacks on any language besides their Chosen One has left a bad taste in my mouth.

This 100 times over. It's a language that seems novel and strong enough to stand on its own merits - but there's a section of the community that makes me want to stay away.

I wish they'd spend less effort re-writing already working tools in C and more effort writing new, better tools. A drop in replacement for "ls" isn't that exciting for me.
Good points.

I drove and got arrested once for being on the BAC limit (not over, on). It was after a company party. I couldn't let my car parked for the night so I decided to drive. If I had known that I was going to be pulled over that night I would have chosen to take an uber and let my car be towed. Or better, drink water.

All it takes is one mistake. Who should care except me if I got convicted? As long as I know, this incident never prevented me from doing my software engineer job.
For the longest time that was how I thought it worked :/
It was almost always performance stuff. I'd get stuck with stuff like "Oracle's cluster database sucks on our systems, can you find out why?" and then you have to go figure out where it is slow (find the hot spot) and then figure out why we were slow.

That meant keeping all of the hardware in your head, the kernel in your head, and the app in your head. If you didn't have all that state it was super hard, maybe impossible (for me at least), to figure out the problem.
The java tooling is fantastic... when coming from the C++ world.
As a conservative I disagree with you entirely. In the eyes of the state all should be equal, any situation that exposes they're not treated as equal should be addressed.

It is true that most on the right don't desire equal outcomes for all but equal opportunities. That doesn't mean some have a divine right to a better life. It simply means we want to reward the most talented, hard working and advantaged because doing so results in a more productive society. But there is a balance to make sure all the wealth doesn't end up in their hands.
Sure, but I've found that even some use cases that seem perfect are in fact not as good as you think.

For example, I used Amazon Elastic Transcoder to do video compression/transcoding at a previous company thinking that we would save a lot of time but the API wasn't great; a lot of the default settings weren't right for our use case and the API and notification flow was way more complicated than it needed to be and prone to errors (due the the sheer complexity of input parameters it could handle).

At one point, we had a problem receiving SNS notifications from the transcoder and we didn't know what was causing it because we couldn't effectively access/browse the error log and was was exposed to us wasn't detailed enough. Basically the visibility in Amazon-land wasn't great.

We had to pay Amazon for special support so that they would tell us what the error was (after weeks of back-and-forth).

Now that it's all running, it's fine; so long as we don't need to change anything and don't need to start scaling up/sharding the pipelines; no sure how to do this through their UI.
Perhaps Russia should be doing most of the talking. It paid 20X or so more in lives than the US or UK to win WWII. US and UK losses were about the same.

Data from Wikipedia.

WWWII deaths:

Russia: 20,000,000 to 27,000,000

UK and colonies: 450,900

USA: 419,400

WWII Military dead:

Russia: 8,668,000 to 11,400,00

UK and colonies: 383,700

USA: 407,300

At the time the population of the US was roughly 3X the UK, and the USSR was roughly 1.4X the US.

edit: I wondered, and found that about 25% of US casualties were in the Pacific theater. http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USA/ref/Casualties/Casualtie...

What terrible goddam war. Anyway, it's not like the Brits hid in a hole while the Americans saved everyone. No snarky comments at imaginary cocktail parties, please.
If they decide to reject a person after knowing their history, they have several legal issues to jump through unless they're in an exempted industry. They have to tell the person explicitly what about their criminal background keeps them from getting the job, and the applicant has some recourse if they disagree with that reasoning.

I must be missing something. Isn't this obvious? One hour of play time / 16 toys is less time per toy then one hour of play time / 4 toys.

We don't have a problem with this.

When our first kid was born, we just told everyone, "Toys that take batteries will have the batteries taken out. If taking the batteries out defeats the purpose of the toy, we will instead take it straight to Goodwill."

We had two instances of people giving him an electronic toy anyway. Both happened before he had really developed object permanence, so he didn't even notice when that Christmas gift was gone on December 26. The giver (both were from the same person) remembered, though, and it hasn't been a problem since.

She probably still thinks we're jerks, but most people with non-adult kids reacted positively and even said they wished they had thought to do the same thing.

Obvs the whole "before they develop object permanence" thing means this probably doesn't work if you don't start before or soon after your first child's birth.
Interesting, maybe those scars are part of why it takes this long to see better histories.

I think US-Vietnam war books and documentaries are also popular now because of the parallels to Afghanistan, Iraq, and other traumas today.
I can confirm this is 100% true for my children. So much so that when I can control the number of toys available to them (during quiet time in their rooms, for example) I generally go with a small stack of books and one or two toys (typically a Lego or Lincoln log type toy, and a puzzle).

I love when a study affirms something I'm doing...parenting usually feels like educated guessing...
The flipside of that is - I'm an adult, I want to talk to people who can handle critiques and debate without getting unduly upset. Disagreement != trolling.
I mean, it does exist, both on the web and in emails. And newspapers too!

Druids? Anyone who can learn language X, Y or Z can learn Haskell. There is even a book written to make it easier to learn.

I think what makes Haskell harder is that when you go to work, everyone is using Java, Python etc.

Not sure how this can be addressed, or if it needs to be.
Modern JavaScript Library for Scrollytelling with IntersectionObserver
To put it in numbers, the UK has 25 million homes, and currently builds around 200,000 new homes per year (and has never built more than 350,000 homes per year even during the huge building boom after the war). So even at the greatest rate of house building it would take 71 years to replace the whole stock.

So my bet is that any technology which replaces fundamental parts of the current home without a simple and cheap upgrade path is not likely to happen. (See also: carbon-neutral homes, "smart" homes, clever housebuilding systems, etc etc etc)

Yeah, I'm always a bit dumbfounded when I hear the communal/polyamory argument. It seems to go against the observed behavior of almost every major society across the world. Exceptions are rare, and the ones I've read about didn't seem to function well at all.

It also seems to me to go against all instinct, and for the lack of a better term, "evolutionary" psychology. Males mammals tend to get aggressive when another male encroaches on their "space" or dominion - homicidal even.

I don't think humans are an exception to this pattern of behavior.

They're not counting total time spent with each toy. They're counting the length of each instance of playing with a toy.

So if the kid plays with toy A for 1 minute, then toy B for 1 minute, then toy A for 1 minute again, then toy B for 1 minute again, the number of interest for each toy is 1, not 2.
Ask HN: I received an offer, and the company asked me not to tell the recruiter
I know this might seem extremely immoral, and I would normally not do business with such a company. But I really need a job right now and haven't had any luck elsewhere. They've made quite a few excuses to justify not paying this recruiter, such as:

They never signed an agreement with the recruiter in the first place, he cold called them with my resume. Likewise, I never signed any agreement with this recruiter. Not even sure where he found my name in the first place.

His finder's fee is very high, and it wasn't disclosed until after the interviewing took place.

But at the end of the day, I only became aware of this company via this recruiter, and the offer would not exist without the work he did.

So I'm torn. Is this legal? Is this moral?
