It depends. You can install it with nix/guix and configure it as in any other Linux distro.

Or, if it's a service you want to make the configuration totally reproducible, you can use https://www.gnu.org/software/guix/manual/html_node/Services.... interfaces for those packages that have some written for them.

It’s as similar as blood and concrete.

You’re conflating a self-absorbed moron and his family of sycophants and sociopaths whom violated the emoluments clause and enriched themselves, with a company whose sole mission is to benefit charities. One violated the law and has not been punished while the other exists for public benefit but got caught up in technicalities because of an ignorance of commercial law. The two could not be more different.
> To be fair, the game you referenced improved with several free updates

To be fair, it _still_ doesn't have the totality of features they promised at launch, even with all of those updates, and Sean blatantly lied while promoting the thing right up to launch day. "Fair" is the reception they got.

Besides, the game is still boring.
Terry Rudolph has an excellent paper arguing for continuous-variable quantum computers [1]. CV still uses entanglement. You can think of CV states as infinite dimensional qubits. So in a way it is still "digital". Something about quantum measurement is fundamentally digital.

For homicide/fertility/etc rates, a simple google search will give you numbers.

For sexual assault/corruption/etc, it’s honestly common knowledge at this point. Googling “Japan underreported crime” will give you plenty of results from a variety of sources.

Additional insight comes from having a few close Japanese female friends who have opened up to me over the years.

If you’re trying to cure yourself of the “Japan is a magical place” myth, I highly recommend “Making Common Sense of Japan”, written by an economist. It’s from 1989, so the data is dated, but most of it still holds to day, and the analytical frameworks it builds are just as relevant.

There was a blog post written on the subject that I saw on HN a long time ago that I will try to dig up, and will update if I find it.
Oh, thanks. You are correct that it is very noisy. Just a single CNOT is giving me 15% error.

Conspiracy theory bullshit rhetoric has no place on HN. Go back to Alex Jones.
The idea is that greater money saved would lead to more money being invested, allowing for continual exponential growth of the company and thus increased employment.

Obviously it hasn't worked out well. Most large-cap corps have more cash than they need for investment, they just are holding onto it.
It is cheap/free to do it when it is first filed (pre-issuance submission), it's only more expensive after it is granted.
Buy and hold doesn't have any recurring fees. If you look at the opportunity cost between crypto and any other financial security in the market, its an easy decision.

> 1) Most startups fail. What happens then? What is the path? Many folks will come from 2cnd-tier economic nations, and don't want to go back. It gets complicated.

Just take the risk and eat the cost. Sometimes investments don't work out. You hope the ones that do make up for it.
The issue with this system is how the pools are created. Most people use a work pool, leaving those outside it in a lower quality pool. I'd be fine with it if the risk was spread across everyone, not if it's just certain types of employees.

> "sink functions" should take an rvalue reference (which semantically means "take ownership of this parameter").

Doesn't that only work when the parameter is movable? For older classes that don't yet have move semantics, unique_ptr is an easy wrapper to give them efficient move semantics, is it not?
The issue with using average waiting times (as opposed to picking a particular time and computing actual waiting times) is stations with multiple trains — the N, R and Q might each stop at Union Square once every 10 minutes, but if you're happy boarding any of those, then your average wait time isn't 5 minutes — it's much less.

What I might try is sampling a couple random start times (e.g. 8:00 AM, 8:03 AM, 8:22 AM) and averaging the predictions of all those.
Ok so this is the first time I'm hearing about arbitrage, so I did some googling to find out what it is. Here is what I am unsure of, Bitcoin is Bitcoin, it's an asset that you buy from an exchange (or mine) where as futures contracts are just contracts that don't equate to bitcoin and are not redeemable in bitcoin. This makes arbitrage not possible. That is my understanding.

Yes, there are absolutely cultural differences at play. I wouldn’t leave my laptop on a table in a coffee shop in NYC for even one second, whereas I’ve done it in Tokyo.

But with all that said, I have friends who’ve had shit stolen in Tokyo, or been assaulted by a drunk guy, etc.

So I stand by my original point - saying that Japanese people are “the most honest and courteous in the world” is naïveté at best, and exoticization at worst.

Have things ever been "normal" in Congress?

The practice of piggy-backing your little bill on other bills that are likely to pass has been around a long time. Presidents have asked for a line-item veto since at least Reagan, and it was even in the Confederate States constitution.

But yes, there should be a general rule and practice that bills don't address multiple unrelated topics.
It's worth noting that this GPU RAM advantage is usually coupled with a PCIe bus disadvantage, which means that you need to be able to hold a complete working set of data in the GPU long enough to really benefit from the extra bandwidth and horsepower.

If you don't have enough computations-per-byte to perform on the GPU, you will find your total job time starts to be dominated by the time it takes to stage data in and out of the GPU, without being able to keep the GPU cores busy. Even if the CPU is 5-10x slower according to issue rates and RAM bandwidth, it can keep calculating steadily with a higher duty cycle since system RAM can be much larger.

However, the CPU also benefits from locality, so you should still prefer to structure your work into block-decomposed work units if possible. A decomposition which allows you to work through a large problem as a series of sub-problems sized for a modest GPU RAM area will also let the sub-problem rise higher in the CPU cache hierarchy to get more effective throughput. However, if the decomposition adds too much sequential overhead for marshalling or final reduction of results, it may not help versus a monolithic algorithm with reasonably good vectorization/streaming access to the full data.
Where is that article getting their hourly wage estimate from? It sure sounds like they are just basing it on the monthly numbers, and assuming that all creators on Patreon are working full time (or some particular number of hours). If so, that's obviously ludicrous.

Why do phones have the * and # buttons?  the answers
Shinsei is the most foreigner friendly bank in Tokyo, bar none. They're known for it, and they make their services convenient -- go there.

Initially you might have some trouble with the Address/Phone Number/Bank Account requirements, because they're almost all required at nearly the exact same time, making some weird pseudo requirement stalemate but here's what you do:

1. Get a place to live (likely through some online agency before you get to japan -- you're gonna pay a premium)

2. Register with your local ward office, get your foreigner card, which will have your address on the back and your face on the front

3. Get a phone at UQ Mobile (or whichever carrier will give you one, more choices if you have a longer VISA), IIRC the only real hard requirement is a credit card.

4. Get a bank account (phone required)

NOTE: some places will even let you pay for your apartment with a credit card

Oh BTW when I did this, I avoided the requirement stalemate by staying with a friend (thus I had a place to "live" at) when I arrived, and a phone number I could use (friend's phone number). It is possible to secure a place to live before you get to japan, there are sites that cater to foreigners for this purpose and will get you set up almost completely before you arrive so you just sign some paperwork when you arrive and have a place to live.
Note that NSNG adherents use the term ‘way of eating’ rather than diet

This usage precedes NSNG by decades. We used WoE in preference to "diet" in the 90s in keto forums like ASDLC.
The difference is that Patreon withdraws money from me once a month -- that is a single transaction. Yes, I'm OK with them covering the actual cost of the Stripe/Paypal fee. But for them to charge me $3.50 because there are theoretically 10 charges (when there is actually one aggregate charge) is in no way fair.

Yeah but discord is no hackernews. If they start arbitrarily moderating views that don't align with flavor-of-the-month ideology or even nsfw content a lot of people will be pissed too.

What people talk about in Discord's independent chatrooms is their own business. I don't believe that most people advocating for strict ideological moderation on large platforms like facebook or discord understand the implications and dangers of allowing private companies such power.

How so? If they can list the beneficiaries on the individual payments, why can't they lump them into my single-payment?
For personal accounts Shinsei is fine. For business, not so much. They only do Japanese speaking, they require IE for certificate pinning I believe, and a lot of banks charge extra for online banking even.

Rakuten Bank is the best for startups I think, but you still need a Japanese speaking person in the company.
Yeah exactly. This is the extremely simple solution which closes all loopholes and avoids a horrific mess of new fees.

I'd like to take Patreon in good faith here and assume they've just blundered into a huge mistake which benefits nobody except for the payment processors. If so, they should be correcting course in the next few days. But until that happens, I remain skeptical.
Firefox Quantum is almost perfect except occasionally something pegs it to 100% CPU making it unresponsive on a lower power laptop. I'm disappointed when Google Hangouts reminds me that they have not made it work with anything not-Chrome and I have to start it up.

I agree with this. With Japan, there is no soft landing. But part of the problem is that they’re still trying to avoid immigration chaos, and without a viable business there isn’t much validation to you being there....
Overall growth in knowledge isn't at least directly proportional to population growth, if the proportion of knowledge already known and shared grows with population growth.

But even if it did, we don't have another doubling of human population ahead of us, so you better hope we're already there.

As you point out, Moore's Law doesn't have a ton more power available to it either.

Lots of problems don't parallelize well, quantum computing has never demonstrated more power than classical computing, and who knows where optical computing will go, but more to the point, hardware growth doesn't in fact guarantee an intelligence explosion.

What possible reasons do we have for thinking that exponential growth has ever happened in terms of actual progress, rather than things like "transistor density"?

Look, every futurist in the world in 1975 thought that by 2017, we'd all be routinely traveling faster than sound, that we'd have colonies on the moon if not mars, and that probably we'd have AGI or something pretty close to it by 2017. The reasons we don't have supersonic travel and common space travel aren't simplistic things like "it's physically impossible to pack energy this densely" or "you can't go this fast."
basically that fee, is directly inline with credit card process fees, its even structured the same.

So it seems to me, that they are pushing all the transaction cost of credit card processing on the patrons, and taking that 5% as their chunk of the pie.

Which frankly for the service they are providing is ridiculous, I dumped my account, and will work to find another format to support those I choose, without this 5% fee for nothing.
Yeah. Or worse, you have orders that are filled, but because they are market orders and the market has disappeared, they aren't filled at anywhere close to the price you expected.

At my first job I had a project that involved looking at the actual order book for various stocks on the NASDAQ. There's always some asshole who puts in a limit buy for $0.01 on the hopes that if liquidity dries up, they'll be the best bid and get the stock for literal pennies on the dollar (I've been that asshole, though I've never actually had an order filled at that price). Normally all these orders are completely irrelevant because they're nowhere close to being the best bid, so other buyers get the stock and they just sit there on the order book.

In a flash crash scenario where everybody runs to the exits at once, it's possible for liquidity to completely dry up. The market gets hammered by so many sell orders that they burn through all the people willing to buy at reasonable prices. Then the exchanges dutifully match you up with whoever's left in the order book...which is usually the jokers who are like "Well, I'll put in a limit order for $0.01, leave it there, and see if it ever fills." Because your stop is actually a market order, you take whatever price the market gives you, which is...$0.01. You've just sold your $18K bitcoin for one cent.

This actually happened with the flash crash of 2010, but because market manipulation was proven, NASDAQ halted trading and invalidated the trades that occurred at those prices. There are no such failsafes or means of recovery with Bitcoin.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Flash_Crash

Stop limits have the problem you mentioned - they just won't get filled in a flash crash, leaving you with Bitcoin that you can't get rid of.

Cuban's an entertaining guy, but he deludes himself into thinking he's well-educated on all technology-related issues because he was a business guy lucky enough to latch on to a start-up that exploded in the early days of the web.

He's mostly a libertarian, so he's a die-hard proponent of free markets. He honestly thinks the pre-net neutrality telecom/ISP market was a free market. It was and still is a captive market where a few bad actors control everything.

Uhh what? A meritocracy is an organizational structure where you can rule if your ideas are good, not just if you are the boss or the owner or if you are rich.

They would have got nowhere just being a slack clone going after the same businesses. In gaming there was a read pain point which they are addressing.

Services like Ventrilo, Teamspeak etc required a lot of setup/ self hosting and were only really strong for voice. Skype didn't organise well around how people game.

When I come back to WoW a few years ago a lot of people were trying to run groups on Skype which was a horrible experience of adding randoms and joining group calls, in additional to all the other downsides of Skype. Discord is a perfect replacement for that.

Stories of dystopia are valuable because they help us build threat models.

Stories of utopia are valuable because they give us a vision to aim at.

Stories that assume new technology will lead to a better world are anti-valuable. Those stories are the concrete truck of good intentions. The truck used to pave the route to hell. The stories inspire people — into creating things without any awareness of negative impacts. These inspired "builders" are often even oblivious to the idea that there might possibly be negative impacts! I've seen this play out with social media, with ML, and blockchain just to name a few HN relevant examples.

A good dystopia story seriously acknowledges some threat, and shows what it is viscerally like to live in that world, and perhaps how it came to be and what we might do about it.

A good utopia story seriously acknowledges some system problem or threat, and shows a way in which it is overcome on a large scale.
I’m sorry the author feels this way. I can’t help to feel that she’s trying to draw sympathy to herself. That is very sad, that is stress she doesn’t need.

My father was a paraplegic due to a military injury. Growing up he was a great role model because it never slowed him down. He has never expected, nor demanded anyone accommodate him. I always wondered why. I finally asked him. He explained that it’s morally wrong to demand or require someone to change their way of doing business/practice for him — something very rare. He further explained those who want to go out of their way to accommodate him out of true appreciation for his business are people with true high moral standards and those are the people he would rather do business with.
