Yes but those are different things.

Germans have very strong sense of behavioural norms that are communicated more subtly.

You don't get such a cohesive culture without fairly strict norms.

In America - you are probably referring to the 'PC rules' which are things that come at you as an adult, they are constantly changing, vague, locale-specific. And it's more of a new phenom.

Also - not sure if kindergartners should be using hammers either :). Maybe tiny ones?

For deterministic serialization (~canonicalization), you can use
sort_keys=True or serialize OrderedDicts. For deseialization, you'd need object_pairs_hook=collections.OrderedDict.

Most current blockchains sign a binary representation with fixed length fields. In terms of JSON, JSON-LD is for graphs and it can be canonicalized. Blockcerts and Chainpoint are JSON-LD specs:

> Blockcerts uses the Verifiable Claims MerkleProof2017 signature format, which is based on Chainpoint 2.0.

I don't disagree with anything you've said, but my point remains. Some people are inadvertently dying because of a political consensus view.

I think this occurs in every political system though.

The only route out is to adopt some form of the scientific process combined with metapolitics, seasteading is a hypothetical example.
The main advantage I see Rust having here is making it a little easier to (ab)use the stack for temporary stuff in a way that can be verified to be safe. Nothing you can't already do in C++ at the expense of the occasional heisenbug.

Games often create their own allocators for a variety of reasons (specialized allocation strategies for speed or fragmentation reasons, adding debug statistics, enforcing memory budgets for (sub)systems, etc.) - although that's not terribly OS or language specific.
ML first appeared in 1973. Pretty impressive considering the laundry list of features, many of which are missing from mainstream industrial languages. For example: parametric polymorphism (aka "generics"), pattern-matching and type inference.

It's a content container. A content container that for some of us is now stereotyped as "content in here is often low-quality", which means that in the vast amount of content on offer each day we're more likely to skip links leading to medium.com. If people regularly spread bad blogspot links around, blogspot would have the same reputation. (I'm sure there is tons of spam on blogspot, but when people share blogspot links in my circles they usually are blogs by people that have been at it for ages and care more about content than appearances, so for me blogspot is a high-quality signal)

Being in a known content container is great if you don't have your own "brand" and as long as people associate the container with good content. If they don't, or if your content is way above average, it pulls you down (which provides motivation for below-average writers to write on them, hiding in the crowd, and motivation for good writers to leave)
I think the next global recession will kill Bitcoin. It's supposed to be a"store of value", but as soon as stuff hits the fan, people are going to flee to safety and convert their Bitcoin to usd, cny, eur, and krw and Bitcoin will tank as a result. The crypto currencies with more purposes will take a hit, but come back stronger.

Gender bias in Word2Vec data is a well known problem. The article provides references. It's an unsupervised algorithm, and the Google pretrained vectors are trained from news coverage, so not really a researcher issue (insofar as they select an unusual datasets or something).

Edit: to clarify, your claim is that Word2Vec data isn't biased even though there is a link right there showing how it is? Why do you think that?

If you use that data in a system then you reinforce that bias.
Aha. You are correct, LeoPanthera. Just dug out my copy of Riven and it is indeed on CD.

Like sibling comment said, you have it backward. The argument is "more competition -> no need for net neutrality", not "repeal of net neutrality -> more competition"

Unfortunately, competition is hard to foster when the barrier for entry is so high as to discourage ISPs to build out wherever their competitions already provide service (which leads to effective monopolies).
I think ultimately we’re going to go back and forth about an unanswerable question: what fulfills people? You can’t answer it for anyone else. One artist will need the audience as a foil; another will be perfectly happy to toil away in obscurity. To my mind the best advice is “try a lot of things and see what feels right to you; don’t be dogmatic about your approach until you have a very high level of confidence based on experience.” Beyond that I’m just not sure this is a question with a meaningful answer.

The plan currently under consideration at the FCC to repeal Obama's Title II power grab is a positive step forward and will help to promote a truly free and open internet for everyone.

I think solving the poverty crisis in the U.S. requires a few insights to become broadly accepted:

- There are many causes of this systemic poverty and no specific regulation or deregulation can fix it. Only broad systemic change can lead to genuine improvement.

- The causes and fixes of the poverty crisis are not partisan. Placing either blame or solution with one political party is uninformed and counterproductive.

- America must fix its income inequality to fix its poverty. Tax hikes for the rich are unavoidable. There are no free lunches or quick fixes. Everything has been tried before somewhere in the world and the only proven anti-poverty strategy is wealth redistribution.

- Things can always get worse, passively waiting until they do is actively contributing to the problem.
Actually I was speaking about people like him. Tim Ferris "received a degree in East Asian Studies from Princeton University". When did he become a Techie and why?

If he was born 30 years earlier he would be saying the exact same things about Wall Street.

> does that not literally mean that generally they'd be more suited to be piano players?

Depending on exactly what you mean by "predictive". You can identify someone as more likely to be a piano player while the person may not be more suited to be one.

The example was meant to be illustrative of a confounding effect, but perhaps a better one could have been chosen.
That's a very fair point.

I attribute this to just a lack of education. I never learned in my public education the darker side of American history, and I think to a lot of people some of the crazy things acronym agencies have done sounds like conspiracy theory (bay of pigs, operation sea-spray, mlk suicide letter, MK ultra). And frankly, I get it, some of these things are fucked up enough that they should be fiction.

Except I think with a free encyclopedia being readily available (i.e. wikipedia) finally the average American is slowly having to reconcile their nationalism with their history. Hopefully change will come with that.
Can you name them?

With TVs and computer parts it becomes impossible to read the reviews because they are merged with every other variation of that product from the same brand, with wildly different features and quality levels. Look up LG monitors or eVGA power supplies for instance.
I agree that this and many other things are more important than most topics on HN. Does that mean we should moderate HN with that in mind? Tempting as that sounds, I think it would do more harm than good. We need to remember what HN is and what it isn't.

HN's mandate is the gratification of intellectual curiosity. Intellectual curiosity is playful, wants to learn, wants variety. It is more fond of trinkets than of causes. Its relationship to More Important Things is itself curious: it inevitably touches on larger topics, yet if we were to swap priorities and put More Important Things first and curiosity second, I think it would kill the site. Certainly it would turn it into a fundamentally different thing, and you can't do that to something alive without killing it.

So the question is not "are there more important things in the world", it's "does a site dedicated to intellectual curiosity have a right to exist, even though there are more important things in the world". I think it does, because there is room for many kinds of website. This is just the kind of website that HN is.

If you accept that, you need to understand that such a site, simply by being interesting, comes under constant pressure to be something else. From a moderation viewpoint it's our job to protect it for what it is and resist the pressure to turn it into something else, even when we know the something elses are more important. Often we personally agree with the very things we moderate. That sounds weird if not impossible, but sheer quantity has a way of changing a person and you get pretty good at it after a while.

When you say "some of the ideas he thinks are bad are promoted and grow on HN" I don't know what ideas you're talking about. But if you mean ideological ideas, yes, they certainly crop up here, but I don't believe they're growing here. I think they're floating around everywhere. They also damage intellectual curiosity and so there's an easy argument that they don't belong on HN. Convincing everyone else of that of course is not so easy.
My argument was that you said police were invented largely as a force in the 19th century for "largely questionable purposes such as racism and anti-unionism." I brought up a pretty clear example of a police force existing in the time of Augustus which had no ties at all to the modern climate. I'm not arguing for or against anarchism. I am arguing for historical accuracy. You can define it as taking the authorities shit as much as you want, but I'm sure I could hear plenty of reasonable counter arguments from state loving people as well about how enforcement of the rule of law provides a stable framework for settling legal disputes and references to Hobbes.

Again, interesting difference. My father died in 1992 and autopsy was mandatory since the heart attack occurred at home (even if he was only declared dead at hospital after I'd done a hard hour of resuscitation). Autopsy was mandatory, my mother was not very happy with that. (This was in rural Finland).
In ever increasing ways the US is more comparable to Developing countries than to Developed countries.

It seems like you just need to set a schedule for yourself instead of doing what your surroundings force you to. Can you exercise in the evenings to get your activity up and be tired for bed? Can you take a longer route from work to unwind? Maybe set a budget for social activities every month and stick to that. Blackout curtains could help with sleep as well.
No big surprise here. The US is a member of the UN, of course, and the US and the UK were the driving forces behind the inception of the UN, which was first conceived by the US State Department and later worked out in more detail by Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Harry Hopkins.
An interesting comparison came to mind. Germany was prohibited from developing some weapons following defeat in World War I. However the list didn't include rockets, so a lot of efforts were spent to create V-2 and to manufacture them in numbers no other country matched during World War II. This lead to explosive development in rocketry after the war.

Here the technology - cryptocurrency instead rocketry - can get an unusual boost from state-sponsored efforts. Disregarding what we're going to see unfolding - a man in a high castle or a space race - the technology may likely benefit.

Not sure why you're down voted, but it's probably for the lack of further description on why not to take the latter author's advice.

Anyhow, i agree with following Steven King as someone to look into for inspiration and advice on writing. The only reason i'm making this comment is because i want to mention something i once read about King that has always stuck with me. That being, that when he ends the last page of a novel, he then writes the first page of his next work right away to avoid ever having a time without some work in progress.

Nerflad is exactly on point with his harshness if you ask me. I don’t care for those ads at all and they prove that privacy is a non-issue for Spotify. It paints the picture of employees perusing my data to see if there is anything funny to take to a weekly show and tell. All the while laughing at our stupidity as customers for trusting them.
I'm surprised that it is taking as long as it is taking for this to occur. It's also one of the reasons why it is going to be virtually impossible to stop.

Over the past year there has been a corporate hijack attempt of the bitcoin consensus rules. The thing that is painfully obvious is how totally disorganised and incompetent the attack was. Anyone who understands how the technology works has listened to armies of get-rich-quick junkies explaining how their new fandangled blockchainz are gonna takeova da cryptoz. In reality, bitcoin is now stronger than it was six months ago, as its nodes are even more decentralized, and it is apparent to anyone who cares to look, that the threat of a PoW change that started being bandied about in bitcoin, actually made the corporate types slam on the brakes before they got crushed.

But when state actors get involved, that is going to be an entirely different story. I expect that at some point over the next couple of years, governments (like the US) will black-list bitcoin addresses, which undermines the ability to shift funds. They'll go to coinbase, or every other exchange in western nations, and tell them which addresses they want payments halted in. Which is why technologies such as lightning have been developed, to further decentralize value transfers in the system. It will even allow for the routing of payments through a multiple of different blockchains if a route can't be found between participants.

When any state actor decides that they want to start utilizing this value transfer system for things like oil, it will be trivially easy to circumvent sanctions. The greater the value of the market capitalization, the easier it will be to do this. I make no comment on whether it is good or bad. In many diplomatic arguments, sanctions are indeed a perfectly reasonable and effective way of addressing issues. They worked perfectly well in Iraq until the US invaded them anyway. They worked extremely well in the former Yugoslavia, and have curbed many of the worst excesses of Iran. But that only works when you control the money supply. The US, unfortunately, has abused that privilege for completely unrelated reasons, and now there is a method of permanently removing that control. It is what it is.

The fireworks haven't even started in this space yet.

> many users use firefox for ideological reasons, even when Chrome is/was technically superior.

I was here since Netscape, AOL, prodigy, and Mozilla save me from the hell of IE.

I didn't move to Chrome not cause Firefox was inferior. It's because firefox can handle 100s of tabs and Chrome crash when I have a fraction of that.

You're right on the ideology but it also can handle 100s tabs.
If I were to speculate, I think, no, there's still plenty of crime, but like a lot of Japanese culture, it's dealt with informally by the group. To actually go to the police is an admission your local culture or group can't harmonize what happened, so you need to have harmony forced on you. That doesn't mean actual innocent or guilt; just that harmony is maintained.

If it ever has to escalate to the police in that kind of culture, it's something really serious that the normal means of informal dealing and restitution won't work at all. And the mindset when that happens is dangerous, because the objective can be more "quickly restore harmony by any means necessary" than "find the guilty." Like the old chinese kung-fu movies where they would grab someone, torture him, then make him sign a confession. It's more important to resolve the situation to restore balance than disrupt that to right wrongs.

Again, this is real speculation, but Japanese are people too; they don't somehow possess a special human nature that removes all the nasty emotional impetus behind crime.

People act under the assumption that the power law is some fundamental property of the universe. But it seems the 10x effect exist partly due to network-effects, and partly due to a minimum barrier requirement for liquidity. It's economically infeasible to support mini-size IPOs because the fixed overhead cost of regulation, auditing, legal work, and underwriting is too high.

With all the stigma associated with ICOs, lower barrier to liquidity may be a good thing overall. The power law phenomenon incentivize entrepreneurs to take excessive risks and force VCs to adopt extreme portfolio management strategies.
The construction company would likely be liable in the end, with their liability insurance paying. If they properly arranged for utility location services and those failed to mark the conduit then that service might have liability instead.

Other non-liability insurance policies might apply as to the airport and airlines and would presumably have subrogation rights against the liable party.
Having read the full report, this is an extremely damning and bleak view on how USA treats its poor on every level: employment, disability, law enforcement, healthcare, race, gender, and media depiction. I believe if there is one thing to take away from this is the following: This is not purely about what we can see (housing, dilapidation, "single mom" stereotypes) but also what we cannot see (poverty on full-time employment, incarceration rates, healthcare).
> However the list didn't include rockets

Or submarines. Which is probably an even closer parallel.
Yeah, but it's not like the country runs on cryptocurrencies. Let's say you get a billion dollars worth of BTC, then what? You would want to convert to fiat, both foreign (for imports) and rubles (for local projects). They can definitely print more rubles, devaluing them, but no real way of getting dollars/euros.
I guess its my fault for being ignorant of how the UN chooses who does these reports, but I didn't expect someone with such close ties to the US to be writing reports about the US. For instance if this was "extreme poverty in Russia" I would be surprised to find Moscow State University faculty as the author. Although now that I know better I probably won't be as surprised in the future.

While this detracts from the main point of data mining behavioral transactions, I do want to voice the internal debate I have with these ads to get some feedback. I think it's silly that they spent budget on OOH (billboard) ads when considering other options.

These "cute" ads require reading and thinking time, and I question people even stop to absorb and process. Granted, here we are, looking at these ads in a digital medium. Clearly, the KPI is probably "sharability" and ultimately brand awareness. Would it have been more efficient to just release these digitally only? As someone who has lead advertising both on the brand side as well as media agency side and is now trying to fix a lot of hot trash snake oil, I really wonder what the measure success is here beyond "let's do something funny and get people to write about us". Can these brands/agencies answer one simple question backed by data: Was it worth it?
