Worth studying is an interesting term. I've got a bunch of things which are worth fixing, but none of them get prioritised. Would you say that it would be preferable to block the creation of a colony on the basis that it interferes research that might happen one day?

I think calling these people trolls misses a significant point that they feel their grievances are genuine. See a bunch of the comments below defending abuse as a legitimate response. This is way more about cultural norms in terms of what is an acceptable way to communicate and moderation is supremely effective at establishing them.

Hate and abuse are definitely hard or impossible to eradicate completely but we can do a lot better than current social media platforms and places like the Steam forums are doing.
Absolutely the right decision. If a topic has many smart people arguing both sides, then there is probably some merit for both, and you should not antagonize your coworkers over it.

> Altheide’s account provides a counterpoint to the description of Google by former engineers James Damore and David Gudeman

Damore's memo got leaked within weeks (days?), he got bullied internally, threatened publicly and eventually fired, while Altheide's memo is made public only now, apparently by himself.
That where it got trickier. IMO, if a big brand start to accept BTC, like Walmart or such, my strategy would be to hire 1 or 2 traders to deal exclusively with the BTC/FIAT wallet of the company. The goal being to make the BTC/FIAT ratio interest grows. I think accepting cryptocurrencies will create a lot of job in trading/finance for companies totally unrelated to the business.

Developer here. Thanks for checking out my app, Riker. In case anyone is
curious, the iOS app is native, written in Obj-C. The Riker web app is written
using React and Redux. The REST API is written in Clojure and the backend is
Postgres.

Although there is also a fully functional web version of Riker, the app is
preferred since it supports offline mode, provides Watch App and integrates with
Apple's Health app.

What "obvious and foolish mistakes"? A single failure to patch a single vulnerability? Equifax receives a vulnerability report. They do their process to apply the fix. They get the messages back from the project teams that it's done. They run the scan to verify, and it comes back green. Where's the negligence? I know the process didn't work, but that's a hindsight thing...how can you tell something like that is broken unless it breaks?

> Re: not telling users they were affected

Per the article, they weren't "not telling people" as in, withholding information. The messaging was poor, but they weren't intentionally misleading anyone.

Incompetent, maybe. But that article doesn't reference any negligent behavior.

No wonder Dimon hates CryptoCurrencies and Bitcoin in particular. Sadly, people now fall in the same pitfall by keeping their coins on an exchange.
We both know that you weren't 'wondering about a hypothetical future dystopia' you were talking about your sincere beliefs. Only that once those beliefs came into the light they looked really ugly, so you've stashed them away again and are pretending it's not what you really think. Come on. You think poverty is mostly genetic and that rich people are, on average, genetically superior. You think once capitalism begins to come a bit undone the poors are going to start breeding like rabbits. You think that's super bad so we need to use government propaganda to get them to stop breeding. You think once we reach a certain point of genetic technology we'll be able to remove all the poor genes and no one will be poor anymore. If you'd left your comments up it'd be clear that this was no thought experiment and you're just backpedaling. I'd much rather see you change your beliefs than whining about the 'thought police' when someone calls out your poverty-essentialism and eugenical ideas.

Re: information is the unknown message.
Think of it this way.

You read the newspaper each day. Every day it's got the same news: "Today the sun shines." This is no useful information (no entropy) and you can predict it very well.

Second scenario. You read the newspaper, but each day it states that either "Today the sun shines" or "Today is raining" with 50/50 probability. That's maximum entropy. That's useful information, which you can't reliably predict.
n=1 disagreement on the keyboard. My hands can't find their way around it. I thought it would be fine - there are nubs on the F and J keys as normal - but the the lack of tactile sensation between the keys means I can't easily find the ~ key by touch. I've hit 1 and Tab more times than I have the ~ key, because I'm off by an amount which would be detectable and correctable if there was a tactile difference between keys. Similarly, the arrow keys are not easily found without looking at the keyboard for the exact same reason.

I can and have gotten used to the lower profile keys, but the lack of a tactile distinction between the keys makes a big difference.
Ask HN: Is the Mill CPU Vulnerable to Spectre?
With both x86 and ARM being vulnerable to Spectre, it would be interesting to know where the novel Mill CPU architecture stands in this space.

To me, it seems like a good argument for the Mill architecture if the designers were able to avoid a bug they didn’t even know existed.

I wrote an open-source cl utility to query the apis of exchanges like kraken, bittrex, bitfinex, etc, and had to basically abandon the kraken portion back in November. It started to become incredibly unreliable, even back then.

In other words, to users of the site, this isn't surprising.

Quote: "The advice was not encouraging."

What would be encouraging to hear?
In my humble opinion, Nihilism is the philosophical base for everything else. "fall back on" would be suitable. Point in case, the empty set is the initial element of set theory, as zero is the first element of the natural numbers, the identity element of addition. Without it, there is no equallity, no half order (and thus no order?). Horror Vacuui is very real though (fear of emptiness), the zero set is isomorphic to the one-structure, the terminal structure of structural homomorphism (if I remember correctly) as in the null element of multiplication.

My experience between a 2015 MBP and a 2017 MBP tells me that the problem is the lack of a tactile difference between keys. Unless I'm focusing really hard, there's very little to tell me without sight where my finger is on a key.

This results in hitting 1 instead of ~, losing my place on the keyboard on a regular basis, and being completely unable to find the arrow keys by touch. Perhaps my typing is a bit sloppy, but it works just fine on the 2015 MBP, with a tiny fraction of the errors I encounter on the 2017 MBP.
As someone who heard and read about Gamer Gate, but not more, I'm genuinely curious: What exactly is it that GG did to people working in the industry? My understanding was that the two parties having a fight were female developers and game reviewers on one side and a horde of "young angry white males" on the other (at least if you simplify the whole thing enough).

And from this I understood that it was mostly the life of these females that was made a living hell. So, are you one of those female game developers, or did the mob turn against everyone creating games, regardless of gender?

I hope this doesn't come across stupid - it's just that it seems to be an extremely complex topic and I just want to understand it a bit more.

‎Chromium Security‎  ‎Root Certificate Policy
People say things now in a social context in real life and then someone takes it out of context to rile up a mob online, making it dumb because it was taken out of context and used against them. As we are all humans most
people with the context probably recognize this and are secretly glad they were not the ones targeted, although I doubt most of us want this kind of society.

It seems reasonable to believe that the person misrepresenting is often aware of the context and is disingenuous in their representation. And if not I am not sure why we are giving the stage to people with poor comprehension skills and a correspondingly violent temper.
Recently, I read a great book that goes into Shannon a bit. It's called "The Information: A History, A Theory, A Flood" by James Gleik.

It starts by talking about African drum speech, and how it is a very simplified version of speech, and how it deals with error correction over great distances. From there it goes into a lot of great historical explanations, including Shannon.

May want to check out "Technopoly" by Postman as well. It's got some of the same points but goes deeper into technology in general. It opens with a story from Phaedrus by Plato where a king is arguing with a god over the utility of writing. The god says it's amazing and allows all knowledge to be stored, etc. But the king says the god is too enamored with his invention and can't see downsides like knowledge being decoupled from instruction and loss of memory since everything is written down.

I'll echo these sentiments. I've had the older macs and I love the new butterfly keyboard a lot more. I recall it taking me a week or two to get use to, but I was hitting the same WPM/accuracy right off the bat.

As for Windows, I think they have some great hardware out there. I really enjoyed the Surface, but the OS was terrible. What I realized was that software developers didn't take the time to really focus on the UI and polish the apps. Even apps like 1password had horrendous experience. I hacked it into a hackintosh, but it was a pain to keep it updated and some features were missing from a real Mac. At the end of the day, a Mac still wins over for me.

Wanted to add, the one thing that annoys me about the touchbar is that I accidentally hit the top right keys when I hit backspace. Aside from that, I'm fine with it on vim. Escape isn't an issue.

I would really like to know what exactly is "good" vs good here. And whether the four graders know to distinguish them. It truly is the kind of homework I would not be happy if my child get. Not until they are big enough to real full accounts of former slaves so they fully understand what it is they nuancely argue for here. The nuance here is achieved by ignoring bloody reality of slavery.

"It economically benefits me" is a "good" reason for slavery? Would we analyze it the same for hired assassin for gang? The latter kills less people. Is "good" in your meaning "egoistical"?

I don't see much space for nuance here and can imagine just about million topics with true moral grey in them.
This would appear to be confirmed based on regional dialects from this area.

In the Samogitian dialect of Lithuanian it's spelled "erbata", however the first "a" in modern Lithuanian isn't stressed, so it's very similar. Also in Kashubian (spoken in parts of northern Poland, often considered a dialect of Pomeranian) it is the same as modern Lithuanian.

On the other hand in Sambian Prussian it is "tejs", which is similar to "teja" in modern Lativan. It's interesting how two different forms emerged in the same geographic area.
