Raising children with technology is certainly a challenge. I have 5 kids, oldest 8 years old, youngest 15 months, living in a condo in LA because...you know......f'ing real estate prices, single family homes with 1200 square feet are 1.3 million in our district. So how do you let kids be free if they can't even go outside really?...and multiple kids in a condo without some kind of T.V. or tablet is utter insanity.

It's been very tough, but we don't have a T.V., we do let our kids use the tablet, with restricted apps and time. Our neighbors below us hate us and are moving....because you know....five kids stomping around above them, but I guess this is the new reality. The best thing we did was smooth coat all the walls with plaster and then make 2 large chalkboard walls. I am constantly surprised by how well this worked out. I think the tactility of the chalk has been an important factor, one that I overlooked, as I always used dry erase markers. I'm a convert to chalk now and my kids only use the best, Hagaromo full-touch. Working on math homework is a dream now as I can easily sketch out geometric concepts and have them trace over it with their fingers. Sure you could do it on paper, but something about standing in front of the chalkboard makes it more compelling. Aside from that setting up a folding table on the balcony and buying them a bunch of mid-grade chemistry stuff has also worked out surprisingly well. A couple days ago they created a catalytic reaction that actually gave off quite a good bit of heat. Could they have injured themselves? Probably. I'd rather have them experiment and explore.

4 of my kids are girls, and this raises special challenges. We fought a war with both sets of grandparents about not buying them dresses or pink gender defining toys. I was shocked how much resistance we got on this, but I strongly advise parents of girls to consider what the value of gender neutrality is, and whether or not it makes sense for them to try and abide by it when buying toys or clothes. If you do, be prepared to meet with a lot of resistance, both from your parents and public school. Just my two cents.
There is rarely a submission here on Hacker News that has comments of such bad quality as this submission has.

I see a similar phenomenon with press. They "hype" something they barely understand, change parts of the story to make it more interesting, or invent new words (Cyber!). This is a disservice.

What do you do to avoid this noise?

"Ok alexa"

"Would you like Dr Bubbles Super Cleaner, for 5$?"

"Sure"

Anyway, I'm sure they can include shitty advertising without diminishing the quality of the results in a way that normal, non-privacy-aware people will care about.
I said absolutely nothing about technical inefficiencies.
(This is a slightly modified but highly relevant excerpt from a piece I wrote last year: Confusing Math with Morality[1].)

In What is Equality? Part 2: Equality of Resources[2], Ronald Dworkin makes a distinction between justified inequality of resources and unjustified inequality of resources. Dworkin borrows from Rawls, but the gist of his sentiment is summarized by SEP[3]: “Unequal distribution of resources is considered fair only when it results from the decisions and intentional actions of those concerned.” Conversely, provisions, gifts, bribes, and pure luck are conducive to an unfair (or unjust) inequality of resources.

For example, a state lottery is unequal — and creates an unjust inequality of resources — because it’s random. It’s trivial to come up with a social policy that always converges wealth to a uniform distribution[4], but the problem is that unless this convergence is driven by what Dworkin calls ‘ambition-sensitive’ forces, this social policy is profoundly unfair — even though it might seem to be fair.

That would be a pretty awesome non-profit.
It's always interesting when you see a damage control statement that basically boils down to "contrary to what you may have heard, <exactly the same caveats you've already heard>". It's a subtle kind of straw man, where you reassure your audience by listing the same mitigating facts they've already heard, but act as if those facts have been previously omitted.

I guess the goal is to produce the affect of reassurance when you don't actually have any substantive reassurance to offer. I wonder if this works, in general? My sense is that it always smells like bullshit, but I wouldn't necessarily recall instances where it didn't.
Wondering the same thing, though presumably if one researcher were able to deduce how the exploit worked, more will soon.
Depends on how you measure economy size, but by most metrics the EU is a close-ish second.
From your own citation, "F-visas, J-visas, M-visas, Q-visas" are exempt because the classification of these holders is "non-resident aliens". H1-B is a temporary work visa and should be classified like the others exempt from paying these taxes. It's a FUCKING double edged sword where the U.S. govt eviscerates foreign workers of taxes designed for U.S. citizens with NONE of the benefits of citizenship. Just fucking be uniform.

If you're going to exploit foreigners, at least tax them accordingly. Or, offer these skilled immigrants a reasonable path to residency, and tax them like citizens.

I have a 3 year old. The ads absolutely get to him. And many are inappropriate.

Any game that he likes, I remove the ads. It's usually a dollar or two. I also consider it a tip to the developers for entertaining my kid.

I usually play together when I can. And he also enjoys watching me play. I actually can't wait for the day when he beats me at street fighter.

But I think the key is finding things he enjoys just as much as playing video games or watching tv. It's hard, but they exist. And exercise should be one of them. Solving puzzles another. Going outside on the scooter is another. Cooking is another. They aren't hard to find.

If he loves something too much, I'd limit it with a reward system. That's how the world works anyway.
I think people are underestimating the runway Tesla has, here. Tesla didn't even die in 2008. Now, they have a huge customer base, two other high-end car lines that are themselves doing well, and an enormous amount of goodwill plus a big moat (for charging in particular, at least in the US). Not only that, but SpaceX is doing fantastically well unlike in 2008.

I think the hardcore bears are just plain wrong, here. I don't know whether or not Tesla is over-valued (above my pay grade, and I'm not invested anyway), but it's hard to make the case that Tesla is worse off now than in 2008.

> If Spotify became their own label and signed 100 of the top artists, their old songs are STILL with the previous label and will likely never leave. Spotify still NEEDS those songs or it's SOL.

As I pointed out in a sibling comment, I think Netflix actually has the same problem. There is a significant presence of long-running shows that people love to watch on Netflix: Friends, Breaking Bad, Modern Family, How I Met Your Mother, etc.. A big favorite "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" just left the catalog - presumably due to the acquisition of FX by Disney - and "Archer" will likely soon follow for the same reason.

A lot of those are not new and people still watch them (either to catch up on a missed cult hit or to rewatch their favorites), and the will continue to do so for the next 10-20 years. As long as that's the case Netflix also has to continue to make deals with the existing rights holders or substantially shift their core offering.
The fact that usage is the same and arrests are different is the whole point - make the drug illegal, arrest only those you want to discriminate. The history and timing of the criminalization of weed, opioids, crack cocaine sentencing, etc all line up with what my post said.

I don't understand what you think is wrong with the kid awaiting instruction.

In fact, the kid was instructed to figure out the interface on his own. Nothing.

Sounds like a kid who has some sense of self-control, which is a positive and not a negative.

There is having self control, then there is a total lack of independence and initiative.
A random distribution of resources is not unfair, in fact it is the most fair way to distribute resources assuming each participant has an equal chance of gaining resources. A state lottery is not an unjust inequality, it is a justified inequality, because it's outcome is truly random.
What a scummy, dishonest response.

- Saying it's not a 'bug' or 'flaw' = lie.

- Cold naming AMD and ARM in the post, I'm certain not just to throw their names in the ring but also for SEO ranking and relationships.

And let's not forget - Intel's CEO sold his stock.

First mover advantage? Spotify has been around for many, many years before just about anyone else that matters. Since they're all basically the same thing why would you change after new ones came out? I kept with Google Music for the longest time before moving to spotify only because of the family deal (which, if I remember correctly, came before Google's deal and really the only reason why I ever switched).

Prime numbers are amazing.

I was watching a math documentary and one example was a Cicada in North Carolina that only emerges once every thirteen years millions of them at once. It's a defense mechanism the sheer number overwhelms predators. The Cicada does this also to avoid appearing when another species of Cicada appears to prevent cross breeding.

The other species in the same region emerges every 7 years. The two will only emerge at the same time every 220 years (I think it as).

Smart bugs!

When philosophers study mankind's knowledge, it's more typical to study the things mankind would ideally know at the end of all time assuming mankind could continue forever.

(Formally: the knowledge predicate is usually assumed to satisfy modus ponens: if mankind knows "A implies B" and mankind knows "A", then mankind knows "B")

Under this abstraction, if mankind knows the axioms of logic and Peano arithmetic, then mankind [ideally eventually] knows the primality of all primes.

Contrast: Which Turing machines will mankind [ideally eventually] know are never-halting? This is a much harder question and the answer is probably not "all never-halting Turing machines"
That is just false. Elon is one of the lead engineers of the Falcon 9 rocket, he knows as much about it as anybody. He also came up with the idea, he gathred the people, he gathered the investors and did about 100 other things needed for the success of SpaceX.

Elon is still in control of SpaceX, so the Falcon 9 and FH rockets are his by any reasonable definition.

> Second, there are many promises he still hasn't delivered on:

What matters is overall progress and not progress relative to elons timelines. Also, most of those were not promises but rather announcments.

> SpaceX targets not met

Yeah, he only took like 15 years to launch more rockets then China or Russia. Build the largests commercial launch buissness.

But of course what we should focus on is that he is such a failure because he said 5 years ago that the FH would fly a bit sooner.

You really need learn to evaluate things on its own terms.

> Tesla still running at a massive loss

Poor Elon, 500000 reservations that any other company would kill for. Revenue stream for 1-2 years even without new reservations. What a failure.

> Hyperloop being doomed to failure,

Whitepaper without company behind it not successful. More big news at 8pm.

> I can definitely see why people say he is mostly talk, even though admittedly he has achieved some successes.

Yeah, the guy who revolutionised space launch, landed fucking rockets and created reusable rockets is 'mostly talk, with some success'. Honstly people can't see the trees because of the forest. This is so fucking bizar.
Spotify's radio is a 10-song loop, another service w/ better radio and same price would definitely steal some users.
The followup sentence: "The AMD microarchitecture does not allow memory references, including speculative references, that access higher privileged data when running in a lesser privileged mode when that access would result in a page fault."

That is a pretty specific reference to the root of the problem, and a pretty clear indication that AMD's design decisions protect against whatever the attack is. Sure, we may find out that there is more to the attack than just speculative memory references, but so far what we have seen suggests a fairly specific vulnerability (that just happens to involve the particular design choices of a dominant chipmaker).
> Who says they won't?

Not me. My comments are restricted to certain things Intel did choose to say.

And as you are concerned about rumor and disinformation, I cannot imagine you are pleased with Intel's insinuation that AMD processors are also affected.

UPDATE: It seems AMD may be being misleading in this case...
I agree that ATS isn't as user friendly or polished as Rust, but the main reason for that is ATS development is pretty much a one person development team. Hongwei works on the compiler, writes the documentation, the libraries, etc. It hasn't gained a large community yet. Rust has the advantage of a major company backing it, paying developers, writers, etc. Hopefully ATS can build a community and improve on these things.
I’m still confused. Webpack is a frontend build tool and completely unnecessary for writing a web service.

Also, from the Dropwizard tutorial:

1) configure Maven
2) create a config class
3) write a mapping.yaml for “Jackson”
4) create an application class
5) create a representation class
6) create a resource class
7) register the resource
8) configure maven again (!) for building a .jar
9) finally run it.

With node you literally write 5 lines of code importing the http module and run `node server.js`. I can’t possibly imagine what steps could be more complicated than Dropwizard. I consider webpack overly complex myself, but it’s a completely self-inflicted option and not a standard for nodejs development at all. I’d be curious to know what docs you were trying to follow if you can recall.
Iron and Diesel are pretty new, so they may not have very sophisticated templates yet. If you just mean setting up a rust project though it's as simple as 'cargo new --bin [project_name]'. I've found cargo to be a lot simpler to use than Gradle with the added bonus of not having to learn Groovy!
Yeah, I had to read the “bug” or “flaw” part twice to be sure they're not saying it isn't a bug or flaw, they're only saying it isn't unique to Intel.

And then as you say, they immediately mention AMD to imply that everyone has the issue, but they also avoid actually saying that.

Your excellent analysis of what they're really saying reminds me of user thaumaturgy's analysis of Adancing Our Amazing Bet[1].

Suicides, yes, but Reyna's at least seems like a special case - even compared to other inpatient systems. Acute alcohol withdrawal is horrible, and can even be directly fatal.

If an addiction treatment facility overlooked that or declined to provide urgent care, I'd impute a significant role to them even in a patient suicide. It's like hearing that someone committed suicide after a hospital ignored their need for pain relief - they may not be responsible for the death, but they're responsible for neglecting a serious need of someone in their care.
It's an ineffective entry barrier given the App Store has so many junk apps like Flappy Bird clones or fart sounds.
You're free to diagree with Dworkin (and Rawls), but keep in mind they are some of the most preeminent minds of the past century. Your argument has to be a bit more thought out than merely explaining how randomness works. You would have to tackle the concept of "ambition-sensitivity" and its relationship to fairness, among other things.

I think the intro level courses from Harvard, MIT Open Courseware, etc. are excellent resources for people just getting started. Instead of watching that 3rd episode of TV on Netflix...just watch an MIT lecture. Then watch it again next week and see how much you remember. And the week after that.

Is that really true though? As video content gets older it usually gets watched less, becomes cheaper and gets re-aired everywhere it can. Once you watch it many don't re-watch. I'd love to know if there were statistics on this either way!

Music, on the other hand, doesn't show its age nearly as much and old music is constantly replayed even in the latest TV shows and movies. Seems to be music is almost timeless whereas video is not. But, again, I'd love to see some data around these topics to valid (or invalid) what I think to be true.

> 2nd year, I procrastinated, put in 50% effort, still outperformed my team mates.

This echoes my response when I feel undervalued. The first year I give at least 100% to assess my impact compared to my peers. If I'm leaps and bounds ahead I dial it back _significantly_ until I just barely exceed the expectations set for other people. If they can be there for x years working at such a slow pace, I don't need to make them look considerably worse, especially if my compensation below market rate. Just for reference, so far I've yet to make market rate for a base salary. Things like working from home on Fridays are a perk that does have a monetary and mental value but perks rarely put food on the table by themselves.

In an ideal situation, companies would be able to spot your max performance, watch it decline and immediately work with you to rectify it. Maybe you picked up a new meth habit but chances are if you're like us, you're merely adjusting your output to match their perceived monetary input (however truthful that may be).

This is not to say that I don't work with my peers to try to enhance their productivity levels. I don't feel I'm a unicorn by any means, I'm just really good at being really lazy and awkwardly enough using proper tooling means I can be both lazy and extremely productive at the same time.
