Historically the "Pro" in the MacBook line has referred to a device that is optimized for professional computer work. A journalist can certainly _be_ a "professional" and use their computer to get work done without requiring anything beyond a glorified tablet.

The kind of device required for a video rendering, database engineering, software development, or some other _computer_ based profession is inherently different and has stricter requirements on the capability of the device beyond mere portability and being able to pause Spotify with dynamic function keys.
> Gudeman also stated in response to another Google employee that “[i]f you truly think Trump is anything like a Nazi or Isis[sic], or wants to hurt gays, women or the disabled, thenyou are so badly out of touch it borders on delusional.

Also the schools. Houses in the our city in safe-by-city-standards neighborhoods are not only way more expensive (and, nonetheless, smaller) than the 'burbs, they're usually served by some of the worst schools in the area. So then you're paying for private school, on top of more expensive housing. The math for living in the city doesn't work out unless you're really rich—or don't have kids. You could maybe do it with one and not hurt your wallet too much, but the costs scale quickly with 2+.
I tend to agree. I think it's because the field uses statistics, which most people have decided are incomprehensible and don't even try to understand. Combined with how bad our brains are at thinking statistically, and you have a powerful desire-for-avoidance by non statisticians.

Combine with the value that good ones can provide, and you have a perfect situation where a boss or peer just thinks thar be dragons in the work sphere of the statistician.
I understand that one needs to go through customs & immigration, even if one is only in transit. But the idea that one needs to hand over one's "diary" is beyond me.

Or, maybe, you could add another segment analogous to the package segment to each read symbol, e.g.:

(defpackage :foo
(:use :cl)
(:source-language :en))
(in-package :foo)

(defun show (:translations :de schau) ()
...)

EDIT (forgot): and then, if you needed to access the symbol directly by some particular language's representation, do something like foo:en:show
You learn the value from your family.

Families which transmit this value have a powerful natural-selection advantage, so you're more likely to come from a family which does so.

There's also a powerful advantage to discouraging family members from examining the value too closely, so the value tends to be held in some kind of religious regard, and the idea of rejecting it tends to be seen as selfish, even though bringing a child into the world is the biggest claim on community resources most individuals can ever make.
"Goma is a distributed compiler service for open-source project such as Chromium and Android. It's some kind of replacement of distcc+ccache."

https://chromium.googlesource.com/infra/goma/client/

I know that Opera at least, had been using icecream (https://github.com/icecc/icecream) internally to do distributed builds, and occasionally the main repo would make a modification to the build system that would break it. One time this actually resulted in the discovery of a bug in the llvm project (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=778209). Hopefully external teams that are building chromium will have this pain point alleviated. :)

> English is far from the best candidate.

It's also the only candidate. English is the most commonly learned foreign language by far[1], and I don't foresee any major economic movement to change that.

English has a momentum no other language have ever had. There is no language that has a larger body of knowledge online than English. Virtually all cross-border hobbyist communities, expert platforms, etc (eg Stack Overflow) are in English. People all over the world use English to communicate, even when nobody in the group has English as their native language. I was a member of a European student network called BEST, which had 0 member universities in English-speaking places and still the entire thing was in (bad) English. The entire EU is running on English informally, and I bet formally too a few decades from now (and not because we like the Irish so much). My startup has some customers in the UAE, in India and in Pakistan - their sites main (and sometimes only) language is English. The list goes on and on.

Chinese would've had a chance if they weren't so isolationist. Call me when the first Chinese language TV show gets popular outside China and Taiwan. I bet English language TV shows will be popular in China long before then (if they aren't already - I honestly don't know).

Like it or not, English has won.

Not just content, also peering and data transit; you pay at the IPX, or you have no internez for selling. You need a customer services organisation - perhaps minimal, but people will write to the CEO so you need some way of handling contact. You need billing, you need security, you need repair and diagnostics, and you need capital ready to meet unexpected expenses, like storm damage, or power surges. Oh Oh I forgot, power, power costs also.

But true point: none of the above is competitive in the current market. To compete you need content, many customers are willing to pay for football. Some customers don't give a toss about football, but not enough customers don't care about content and do care about good internet to make things work.

Believe me - it makes me sad.

Intelligent political discussions off the police radar are 50% of the reason why I check this site everyday. I just don't get that level of discourse at the comment-level anywhere else.
>You can save time by learning from the mistakes of others.

Only barely. For important life decisions/paths, people only learn from their own mistakes (and often not even from those).

Heck, Computer Science as a field itself forgets its own collected wisdom every new generation hits the market, and re-invents BS that other eras have tried and buried with another fad name.

What's even worse, those "self-help" books are full of contradictory, snake-oily, and plain wrong information, and can even put people on BS priorities and give them a false sense of what it means to be happy/successful etc. Which is one reason people reading those books keep reading those books and going to those seminars -- they're not meant to get you somewhere, but to keep those believing them hooked forever.

There are exceptions, sure. But not 100.000 exceptions, and there are more than 100.000 such crap works.
For anyone else wondering, like I did, why you would use a hexagonal indexing system instead of a (roughly square) latitude longitude system, from https://eng.uber.com/elk/:

"Data size matters in Elasticsearch; a large index means too much data, caching churn, and poor response time. When query volumes are large, ELK nodes become overloaded, causing long garbage collection pauses or even system outages.

To address this, we switched to hexagonal queries, dividing our maps into hexagonal cells. Each hexagonal cell has a string ID determined by the hexagon resolution level. A geodistance query can be roughly translated to a ring of hexagon IDs; although a hexagonal ring is not a circular surface, it is close enough for our use case. Due to this adjustment, our system’s query capacity more than tripled."
What if the politics in question concern work? I'd love to live in the society you (apparently) live in where work and the rest of reality apparently don't interact with each other at all.

It's really interesting to see non-English languages being used as programming languages.

will print hello world according to the example. Reading it phonetically in Korean, makes no sense at all.

If I knew how to design programming languages I would do it like this:

> ㅍㄾㄴHello Worldㄱ

this is the equivalent of the acronym for 프린트 (ㅍㄹㅌ) or print (english word phonetically typed in Korean) and then using the "N" and "G" Korean alphabet to depict a square parentheses.

> prt(Hello World)

인쇄(印刷) would be the more formal word in which case further simplifies the acronym.

> ㅇㅅㄴHello Worldㄱ
Sure, except Bitcoin wasn't created to be a stock. That's the point here. It's basically just imaginary stock in an imaginary company now.
I could think of a few potential reasons:

- Maintenance: It could be very difficult to find and fix a fiber break. AFAIK, there's no easy way to determine where a break in the fiber is, you generally end up replacing the entire broken segment, which in this case could be miles.

- Reliability: If the fiber breaks, all the upstream sensors go down. Especially since a fiber break could also mean a pipeline break, you just handicapped yourself at the most critical time.

- Cost: Hundreds of miles of fiber, properly shielded from the elements, must cost a lot. (Of course, getting wireless signal to thousands of sensor stations would also be pricey, and I can't say how they'd compare.)
Operation Cherry Blossoms at Night
Originally it was pretty much just a fork of Litecoin, but since then Dogecoin has considered the economic viability of it as a real currency. It's one of the few inflationary cryptocurrencies, it has a block every minute which is good for confirmation times, the transaction fees are very low, AuxPoW has given it a huge network of miners keeping the network alive, and the core devs have kept the stability of the network above all else which includes not adding every new feature that all the other altcoins love.
nice!

This is something I can see my self using.

Couple requests:

-Possible to add a 000g to the sliders of the left to be able to find foods based on a nutrient's content in grams?

-big ask but - could you add a way to sort by average price/calorie or by standard weight (g, ounces, etc)? (example) would love to be able to find highest protein lowest carb foods, sorted by price.

-how are the %s calculated, % of of daily recommended value? % of nutrient to total calories in food? Would like more clarification.

note: might want to break up some of the recipies into smaller components - e.g. right now when I set protein slider up all the way up and "avoid foods with" carb slider all the way down, tuna salad sandwhich is one of the top recipes (above sauteeed spinach). Would like to see the actual breakdown because I find it hard to believe an entire sandwhich has fewer carbs than spinach.

Otherwise, good work! will keep my eye on it.
Yeah, well, that’s like, your opinion man.

don't pay too much attention to stories like that, there are easily countless stories that serve as counterpoint. example, warren buffett mentioned several times in his writings that very often, it's the regular folks who are more capable of spotting potential new investments rather than institutional investors, because they can see businesses succeeding in the real world much sooner than institutional investors spot them on balance sheets.

> CJDNS[1] (protocol for encrypted p2p address allocation and routing for mesh networks, so essentially OSI layer 3) and project Hyperboria[2] (a community of local WiFi initiatives)

None of this addresses the big point, which is the backhaul, the transit networks, the big networks which knit together all of the smaller community networks and make them more useful.

In short: If you make a nice little mesh network in your small town (New York City, say) you still haven't solved the problem of getting access to websites in Los Angeles, let alone Doha.

Nobody talks much about that. Probably because it isn't possible for that to be decentralized or open in any meaningful sense, and it's certainly impossible for hobbyists to build it.
Rich people have four things that go wrong in their lives: Drugs, divorce, very bad investments and entourages. Entourages being ever larger numbers of people hanging on to them and getting their expenses paid for just being friends.

Everything else pretty much takes care of itself and there are many trust funders who just live lives of little accomplishment and relative obscurity. This guy had most of those things go wrong, but he still made it out, the damage being he lost a zero or two from his wealth.

No, your tax bill does not indicate otherwise. Credits for children are a tiny, tiny fraction of tax subsidies for people in lower income brackets, and property taxes are generally quite low and cover much more than schools.

Even if they were a huge fraction, you're considering one single axis. You're not considering population support or economic contributions by and on behalf of children, both of which are arguably much more significant than tax bill distribution.
I've been on HN for over 10 years. I also spoke with you over email under my real name more than once and I have a very high opinion of how you handle things in moderator's capacity. Which is why I must say that I find these ban threats very surprising, misplaced and disconcerting.

> differing cultural standards

Well, that's exactly the problem, isn't it?

What passes for normal "civil" behavior in countries like States and Canada looks like a completely fake way to express sentiments in other parts of the world. If someone asks "how are you?", they, more often than not, actually want to know how you are, not soliciting the "I'm fine" response.

What I said in the comment you killed I would absolutely not hesitate to say in person. I did not want to point out that his statement was wrong. I had an issue with the fact that he was commenting on things he doesn't appear to understand well in the first place. This was a personal remark, but I'm not sure which format you expect it to be distilled in to be acceptable as "civil".

If we are to reverse the situation, i.e. if it was me who blurted out something equally majestic, I would expect and prefer to be told just that instead of a wishy-washy pretense polite way. To me, coming from one of them "different cultural standards", the latter is a strange and alien way to communicate with others... which brings us right back to your remark about being respectful. Sometimes I'd be blunt when responding to comments I find particularly inane, but I also expect others to be blunt to me if the situation warrants it. Being blunt is not the same as being disrespectful, leave alone "uncivil".

> Then we all can learn something, which is the intended use of the site.

I've always viewed HN as a place for discussion with people of similar interests. Some may indeed learn a thing or two here, just like on any other forum, but stating that it's the intended use of the site is really quite strange.

Whether or not the ISPs have this information is a fundamentally separate issue from whether ideological homogeneity biases science. There is no dichotomy here.

The degree to which self selection plays a role is an interesting question. Firstly, there is a certain amount of overt harassment--for example, professors in the humanities and social sciences openly admit that they would be inclined to reject a candidate if they knew he or she was conservative. Also there are lots of other data, anecdotal or quantitative. Much more is needed, however.

Importantly, the proportion of conservatives to liberals has been falling since the 90s, so something is driving the trend. It's also possible that conservatives are selecting out of a career that they (evidently correctly) perceive to be hostile to them or otherwise corrupt (more interested in furthering an agenda than seeking truth). The point is that even if it is self-selection, we may be able to improve the ratio enough to improve the science. And it's not like the ratio needs to be 50:50--probably 30:70 would suffice. Right now many fields are less than 10:90, and intuition suggests that the effect is nonlinear. If only 10% of faculty are conservative, intimidation causes them to suppress their already marginal voice, but 30% might be enough to allow them to feel secure in providing the sort of criticism those fields seem to desperately need. Of course, I'm picking on the academy, but the same probably holds true for journalism.

Again, the point isn't to assign blame, but to improve the science.

> But the new rules, drawn up by clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) in Hertfordshire, say that obese patients “will not get non-urgent surgery until they reduce their weight” at all, unless the circumstances are exceptional.

And what is "non-urgent surgery"? Who knows. If you need knee surgery, it's probably not urgent, but you may not be able to work without it, thus having very high social costs (unemployment, disability benefits, lost labor, ...) as well as very high personal costs. But NHS almost certainly doesn't have the resources even to consider the negative externalities of this policy -- they are acting out of desperation.
