The ships aren't attacked by definition. Its just game theory and they're generally going for confrontation/fight. Well, they can't do that anymore, since the enemy has military-grade early warning system subsidized by the Japanese government.

Terrorism is an illegal means to an end and its effectiveness is highly debatable. Making it personal is one method which was used by groups such as Weather Underground and RAF. Its debatable whether they were effective (and its debatable whether such is even viable in 21st century police states). One problem with these methods is that civilian casualties make these groups lose the moral highground.

Economic damage specifically however (which can be done via legal, grey, and illegal means) is a method which has proven to work, and in this subject it has worked in the past. It no longer does which means the situation (ie. the extinction of whales) is escalating. The activists need to think of different methods to stop this escalation.

Furthermore, the war is fought on multiple fronts. The ICJ's verdict was also in Sea Shepherd's favor but the wheels of justice grind slowly and it is difficult to maintain justice on the (remote) sea. The main problem IMO is the same problem with issues such as global warming: it is apathy, and a hyperfocus on short-term gain instead of long-term gain. That is to say, if you love eating whale, why not let the whale population grow so that you can continue eating whales?
Shopping malls also manage their occupancy by accepting low-rent complementary services next to their cash cow occupants.

This sort of strategy is also followed at municipality levels such as the Netherlands' ABC location policy.
The camera issue is why I got a Huawei instead of a Xiaomi. Xiaomi phones are nice but they all tend to have rather bad cameras.

I do use a lot of non-phone xiaomi stuff though, they tend to be pretty decent at a great price

I'm pretty disappointed too, now that I've seen the actual reports and his awful behavior. :-(

No, I was too eager to jump on Uber, here.
I'm a New Yorker who's sad to see a lot of shops close, but at the same time can't help but think: efficient markets always correct themselves.

Assuming markets are relatively efficient, it's a good thing that landlords leave lots vacant -- they're waiting for a future higher-paying tenant who can afford to pay the higher rent because they'll provide more value to their customers -- and these landlords are paying through the nose in lost rent while making that bet.

This ensures there's space ready-to-go for the expensive wine bar customers would prefer over the cheap cafe that would otherwise already be occupying it, or the luxury bakery over the dollar store -- and just like anywhere in a capitalistic system, we assume that the store that produces the most profit (and therefore can afford the highest rent) deserves the storefront, because this is the best use/value for those potential customers.

At the same time, I'm ready to rip my hair out over another favorite shop being replaced by yet another Duane Reade pharmacy or Bank of America branch. But you know who I blame? The customers, not the landlords. As depressing as it is, it's clear people in that neighborhood will now pay more for the convenience of banking and aisles of toilet paper than the old stores, and so be it.

Which is why, for the first time, I'm moving from Manhattan to Brooklyn. Which is fine -- in my eyes, parts of Manhattan may be getting worse, but parts of Brooklyn are only getting better. Neighborhoods aren't supposed to stay the same. I'm not going to lament a lost New York, when a new one is always forming!
Nice article, I bookmarked it. I am just now learning Rust because I want to use an open source blockchain library/framework written in Rust. Ruby used to be my favorite language until a career in machine learning literally forced me to swap scripting languages. I also really like Haskell (plug: I wrote a Haskell book) and I find that Rust borrowed many good ideas from Haskell.
It seems likely to me you're just experiencing the stopped clock illusion, especially since you mention moving your head.

When your eyes focus on something new, your brain deletes the blur from your memory and fills it in with what you start looking at. The cat could notice and stop during your refocus, and because you can't see it during that period, all you see is it already stopped and perceive it as having been stopped the whole time.
I can tell from personal experience that if you change your environment and have new experiences, you will also change. Changing a big part of your life (job, location, relationships) makes it easier and sometimes necessary to also change your behaviour. Changing your behaviour in a big way also means to change your personality. However, if you're the kind of person who moves a lot, you're not really changing anything when you move. It's about doing scary things you've never done before.

I think the biggest issue was probably the IDE support and the Object Pascal features, given the existence of Pascal compilers on 8 bit OSes.

I owned a few ones for ZX Spectrum, but they were basically standard Pascal + Z80 low level extensions.

And plain single pass compiler with zero optimizations.

Startup is aimed at growth, to become next unicorn. If your business is not aimed at growth, then it is just regular business.

YCombinator is incubator for startups, hence their HN site is aimed at startups too.

WINGS ICO forecast: Aurora – Ethereum high-performance decentralized exchange
The question is why are there more jobs than homes? Homeowners don't oppose commercial development because it raises their home value but they oppose residential development because it lowers their home value.

The only compromise for existing home owners could be to balance out job and home zoning so that there is no massive excess or deficit on either side.

I've been here for years, and I forgot literally every year why this happens and have to remind myself.
I think this is because no-one has articulated the hypothesis correctly yet. That and the official assessment is wildly innacurate. Interestingly, it seems that many people are independently discovering parts of the Jungian Type Theory. For example, Daniel Kahneman's Fast and Slow thinking (also system 1/system 2 thinking) seem to almost exactly match the P/J dichotomy from MB.

I'm writing a book on this...

If one can paint their opponent as irrational (violent, terrorists, culture haters) then one can make a personal attack of their opponent, causing a distraction of the issue at hand, shifting the blame (and debate), and ignoring cause and effect. Furthermore, one no longer has to listen to their opponent, and one can justify the means to resort to countermeasures (such as in this case subsidies). Its an age old trick with multiple fallacies at work.

If they'd never resort to physical violence with their boat they're like a barking dog who doesn't bite. They need to show their teeth regularly, and seek the confrontation. Nobody wants to end up like Dutchbat in Srebrenica where the opponent knows that you won't take respond to their actions.
I live in a famous third world city and the same thing is happening here. Sometimes stores with more than 100 years close because some hedge fund buys the entire street and, hoping to transform the place in a multi-million commercial condo for the ultra rich, raises the rent to impossible prices. E-commerce is a thing, but not as pervasive as in the US. The city culture is being put at risk simply by predatory capitalism
Right so like my other replies, I don't claim that alternatives won't come up eventually. I also don't claim that this is exactly how nvidia can unseat themselves.

What's wrong here with many of the guesses people are making though: They think simple open standards are enough.

It's a lot more than that. Don't alienate the market forces that also need to move to make this work. Too many coders write off the real business incentives side of this.

Viable competition will come from multiple vendors and possibly backwards compatible/interchangeable standards that don't require many changes in code. Give me a path forward as a vendor. Show me the money. Put code out there and maintain it/keep it up. Show me it's going to stick around.

It's like any SAAS you'd pay for or an IDE you invest in, vendors want to see an ecosystem that fulfills a set of requirements and allows them to get work done for their customers.

Right now cuda is still that best tool. I covered what will likely need to be considered in my parent post so I won't reiterate that here.

I only ask that folks don't assume that "open source linux drivers and open standards and 1 open source framework with opencl support" are enough to unseat nvidia. The market won't move for that.
How Close Is Ruby 3x3 for Production Web Apps?
That result doesn’t surprise me at all, not everyone is working on a huge project and most of those frameworks are overkill for small tasks, sometimes pure js (with the odd library here and there) is all you need.

Funny that you should bring up vision.

The common wisdom is that when your eyesight deteriorates, you should just accept it and buy glasses, or maybe have laser surgery done.

You can however improve your eyesight (of course within some natural/physical limits) by doing functional eye exercises.

In Germany it's called "Funktionale Optometrie", some googling tells me it's "Behavioral Optometry" in English.

I know about it because my wife has been doing it for 2 years and no longer wears contact lenses at all.

It's another example where you are not just some helpless individual stuck with certain traits, but that you can actively change and improve yourself and your life if you're willing to put in the effort.
I can definitely agree with this. I was developing http://framestr.com (SaaS), and at the time, we had to bring on a 2nd developer and server costs were increasing (we all wanted to avoid raising funds and aim to bootstrap). Rather than raise funds, my partners and I built a small SEO business. We ended up scaling the SEO business to around $200k MRR.

Having been through the financing process before for at a previous start-up, I can say that the time invested in the side business was not a whole lot different than time invested in fund raising (+ meetings, reporting to investors after the raise).

By hustling, we were able to build a nice life style business, while being able to grow our tech SaaS. At the same time, we had much more flexibility and have been able to build / invest in what we want, and for what we believe is best long-term.
Is stack-overflow a block-chain concept?
I think that stack-overfow is conceptually a bitcoin for prestige. It should be easy to use a real block-chain to reflect the use of SO using prestige points as units of transactions. I believe that many of you are thinking of using block-chain as a way to achieve better interactions with your would be clients. And surely time is ripe for creating a chain-block abstraction whose main objective is to convert or introduce publically known value into money or other block-chain value so that recursively it finally achieves liquity and moneritation.

In SO you can see the complete history of how someone gained prestige. SO a ledged book for prestige points , that book is a web page trusted internationally as of real value for programmers and open to knew transations openly with little censorship.
The sight of a bunch of passive engineers shuffling off to a meeting they aren't needed at still makes me seethe. You have a professional obligation to say "no" sometimes.

Engineer and executive hours are not cheap. Every unnecessary person in a conference room is a gigantic waste of resources. Beyond three or four people, the marginal utility of adding another person to a meeting is almost certainly steeply negative. Exceptions are situations that require consensus, or where someone is observing to learn.

The last team I worked on had regular 10+ person meetings that entire teams would shuffle off to. I started refusing to go to meetings with more than four other people in them (unless there was a very specific reason to be there). I felt it reduced distractions and waste.

What bothers me even more than the meetings though are engineers who attend them repeatedly, then grumble quietly about how useless they are afterwards. Articulate a thoughtful "no." Get good at it, because you'll need to do it often if you want to be a good engineer.
I read the article and I do think with the sea Shepherd was doing was wrong. They were confronting Japanese whaling ships in a hostile act, and should have resorted to legal means.

I have the opposite problem. I tend to zoom out since huge font sizes became a trend a few years ago. They're so humongous that it's very tiring to read at the default size. This is especially pronounced on websites like Medium, where I have the zoom set to 80 % permanently.

They should have just used `flat_map`, which does everything that `filter_map` does and more. In this case the call to `Result::ok` could have been omitted in favour of the identity function (which strangely isn't in the standard library). I wonder why rust even has `filter_map`.

Shameless plug: The orderbook visualizations of http://www.dancingbots.com help to understand the different kind of bots on various exchanges. However, for some/most strategies one would need a higher resolution (seconds, not minutes) and more focus on the area around the current price.
Personally, I think if you’ve reached a point where consensus hasn’t formed naturally in some other venue then it is kind of a failure.

Trying to hash thing out in a meeting is ok as a last resort, but it seems less than ideal. Particularly when people often need time to form coherent ideas.

Group meeting with lots of presentations? Just sounds like my idea of hell really. I’d much prefer to read some notes on a subject and then later sit down with someone if I need to go into more detail.

This is very fascinating. It would also be hard for people to appease legislators to change the laws because if they say "this law is intrusive in my life and puts good people in jail" they just sound like complaining criminals, what's so different between them and a guy who argues he was justified in punching the guy who slept with his wife straight in the face?
Right, but you can certainly grab a couple of people and go for coffee. Or chat on Slack, or email.

It’s just having to explicitly set up a meeting means something has gone wrong in my opinion.
This is true, and I wonder if someone has done an analysis of the many failures. It is impressive that something which works so well in the wild provides so little benefit when tamed.

Maybe Netflix or a streaming service could pay for bytes uploaded. Abuse would be difficult to mitigate but in principle this would encourage peers to provide the company's service to the network.

The section titled "Implicit returns and expressions" purports to contrast the two when as far as I can tell they work identically.

In fact, the article specifically calls out that in Rust, even if expressions have a value, which is also true in Ruby, every expression has a value (though it is sometimes nil).
Agreed with everything except the last sentence. Pure capitalism will let some buildings sit idle. But I think many people believe that pure capitalism optimized for things other than human well-being.
Another interesting sorta-related thing I've noticed is that good applications only refresh the necessary part of the screen. The Weston compositor has a debug mode that shows colorful rectangles over repainted areas. When typing in gnome-terminal, the repaints only happen on affected characters.

I know people who escaped severe depression and suicidal thoughts only through medication, after trying all the talky-thinky stuff they could. I also know people who manage their depression with just cognitive behavioral therapy techniques, exercise, etc and are broadly successful at keeping things together. I'm all for ignoring advice that doesn't speak to you. I'm against a suicidal person reading something that increases their level of guilt and worthlessness.
I think the article's point would be more convincing if they related that study to real-world examples.

Personally I cannot imagine how corruption makes the world any better?
