I'm characterizing what he's saying using colorful language of my own, but the principles are the same.

No. It's one thing to advocate that everyone should be nice and say "hello." It's an entirely different thing to advocate for a law that says you will be dragged before a kangaroo court for failing to say "hello," where a scientifically dubious "test of unconscious bias" will be used as evidence of your guilt. Either your bias is showing, or you're missing the distinction.

So in Peterson's worldview, the difference between being asked to use ze and zim by someone, and sending Solzhenitsyn to a Siberian death camp, is merely a matter of degree, not of kind.

If you study the detailed legal history of the Weimar Republic, then you'd be prone to agree. The Nazis didn't have to change the Weimar laws a whole lot, because the Left-leaning Weimar republic left loopholes in the law that basically amounted to, "...unless the state deems it for the common good."

If you let "activists" erode due process and create "crimes" of "unconscious bias," then you are creating legal means for people to engage in the sorts of accusations which sent people to the Gulag. The Magna Carta and particularly Habeas Corpus came about because laws which were about one thing were abused out of poltical expedience.
To show that it is a fallacy you would need to compare the final drug costs after rebate with an average of foriegn govs that do negotiate rather than private insurers.
This is appropriate. You don't need cryptocurrency to engage in a ponzi scheme - they've been going on since time immemorial.

I'm a pretty hard-headed realist, but I find it irritating that every price movement, every regulatory action, every rumour of new legislation is parroted about as proof of the broader illegitimacy of cryptocurrency as a medium of exchange.

Maybe the corollary to the rule of bubbles is - if everybody and their dog agrees that something is a bubble, but the price doesn't correct itself, maybe there are other factors at play beyond the simplistic media narrative?

On the Amazon product page, you'll usually see a "Ships from and sold by" line for products not fulfilled by Amazon. If it's fulfilled by Amazon, the line is usually "Sold by [seller name] and Fulfilled By Amazon".

Yep, if I go to WF and they are out of potatoes, yogurt, and other staples I'm not apt to return the next time.

Another article referred to WF as the "Soviet Safeway".

It's an entirely different thing to advocate for a law that says you will be dragged before a kangaroo court for failing to say "hello," where a scientifically dubious "test of unconscious bias" will be used as evidence of your guilt.

And it's yet another thing to criticize a law for saying that when, in fact, the law says nothing of the sort.
iPhone users aren't targeted. It's difficult to install trojaned Signal on an iPhone, since you can't sideload them from random websites.

You're infected by being phished to a staging server that looks like a legitimate launcher/installer site for secure messengers; that site delivers Android Java applications for WhatsApp, Signal, &c, but those applications are backdoored to ask for all possible permissions and to quietly set up a C&C channel back to the operators.
A crisis, in terms of food, means that if there isn't food, people die, or enter starvation mode. It's not even a crisis for Whole Foods- this is a minor issue.
From the article:

Order-to-shelf "has transformed the inventory levels that we have in the back room, essentially clearing them out so that we're mainly focusing on what we call our never-outs, the key items that we need to have in stock all the time in our stores,"

If your item isn't on the "never out" list I suppose they don't really care about gaps in availability. The problem with that isn't just customer satisfaction, people will be forced to go somewhere else when they're in need, and that will hurt loyalty and keep people looking at alternatives.
They say most of the pictures of bare shelves are from customers
Here's an anecdote.

This week I was sick and went to whole foods like 3 times over 5 days to get soup. The soup shelf became more and more empty over time and didn't seem to be getting restocked which struck me as odd.
Wouldn't that make ales less temperamental?
That's definitely not true. There is strong market competition, so the tools are highly optimized. In fact if you have written logic that vivado detemines is impossible to reach it removes it, and everything connected to it, and so on. I've seen it do really amazing optimizations this way and it's all to save area. So while being inefficient it may seem like a sensible thing to do in a monopoly situation, there is a healthy duopoly, the tools squeeze every last bit of performance out of the device. Tool performance is a selling point.
If anyone ever refuses to believe this, have them steer using just their palms. Especially, try to turn left or right using just one palm.
1. I already agreed that his lectures are appealing. Do you agree that his arguments are not logic and conclusive?

2. Fair enough. I shall try if I ever hear his stuff again. With all the metaphors flying around it shouldn’t be to difficult. But can you point out where he says it’s so great to be alive?

3. If you call „I survived the gulag where thousands perished“ as a silver lining you must have a pretty grim world view.

You agree that the Gulag Archipelago is not a relevant reference point to 95% of his western audience. If you don’t find it depressing you must have a very strong character, I would assume a good portion gets depressed (in mood; clinical depression is out of my judgment).
Alternative headline: "rich guy builds a house for his hipster hobby"
A dump of memory (several kilobytes, megabytes or whatever) is inherently big endian: it proceeds from the base address and goes up.

It only looks "inherently big endian" when you print bytes on each line starting from the left. This way of printing numbers makes little sense as you end up with some kind of mixed-endian where the bytes are ordered one way and the bits another way.

Start each line with bytes from the right instead to make the bytes and bits numbering consistent, and you can print large little-endian dumps with all bits and bytes are where you expect them to be.

Our local food chain here in Rochester NY is Wegmans, and they've had a bunch of produce shortages recently due to bad weather in California. They've also dropped their line of soy milk because the supplier couldn't keep up.

This may not be entirely a Whole Foods issue.
> enjoy being bad at it

You don't have to enjoy being bad, you just have to value the process of getting good more than the pain of being bad.
Colin's disappointment with the Linux community implies he did trust them. On hindsight it's easy to tell "well, you should have disclosed it to all the people that wouldn't leak it, and only those".
I don't know whether they are embargoed or not, but on Amazon.ca and Amazon.uk it's very easy to find Android Kodi boxes pre-loaded with sketchy apps and Kodi plug-ins that are also fulfilled by Amazon. I'm pretty sure in Canada and the UK, that those products have been heavily targeted by the government for piracy. Several local sellers of those boxes in Canada have been prosecuted/shut down, yet they are still so easily available on Amazon.
I have the impression that there's also a cultural aspect. People from different parts of the world have noticeably different responses to such jokes. Lots of them are on HN and, not realizing who's who or what the gap is between them, each tends to think the other obviously wrong and/or an asshole.
Ha, at my partner's work(large IT company in UK) they are not even allowed to move or adjust the height of their own desks, because it's a health and safety violation and if anything happened to them doing it the insurance wouldn't cover them. I think HR would get a heart attack at the thought of employees assembling their own desks.
Interesting in that one of the reasons that industry professionals gave for Amazon buying Whole Foods was that WF had so much more supply chain experience than just about anyone in the grocery business.
How Changes in Facebook News Feed Algorithm Will Impact Business
1. Whether or not the OSI has a trademark doesn't seem relevant to me, they coined a term which wasn't used before and associated it with a well known definition. The distinction seems more significant than fine to me and causes confusion about what kind of license I (and others, as evidenced by the open issue on the subject) expect the software to be under. That a subject is source of disagreement is certainly not a valid reason not to discuss it.

2. I'm very aware of the efforts of free or open source software authors and I'm grateful for them. In fact, I occasionally take time to thank them and make donations to them (although I should do it more). This doesn't mean that inaccurate statements should not be corrected and I don't see anything `belligerent` about reporting them, as would be the case for reporting a bug.

3. You're right on this, I wrongfully assumed one of the person answering in the issue was the author. I changed my comment.

Why ß though.
That would be lucky, not smart. If a bank took my deposit to a casino and put it all on black, they'd go to jail whether they won or lost.

The risk of holding a tether should be reflected in its price. If the underlying asset is bitcoin, the risk profile of a tether would be the same as bitcoin, and thus the price should tightly correlate with (or be tethered to bitcoin, rather than USD).

If Tether tells people the token is backed by USD when in fact it's backed by bitcoin, that's fraud.

> Whether you call the value 1 "bit 7", "bit 8", "bit 1" or "bit 0" is just, pardon the pun, word semantics.

It's extremely important to your mental model to understand how the bits are arranged, or left shift (<<) is going to produce different results in your head. If you think the value 1 is bit 7/8, you get:

1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Which would left shift to:

0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

Which would not be equal to 2.

But more expensive things (say and iPad or MacBook) are the same price.
Honestly it depends upon what people expect from "the port". A lot of people seem to be content with Arduino-like software compatibility: high-level constructs that offer basic functionality expected across a larger number of mcu's. Even something as "simple" as a timer peripheral will vary greatly across manufacturers and families of mcu's -- something you'd care about for real-time control, but not care about in other cases.

ARM controllers are (relatively) uniform and the svd files do a lot of the work by providing the mapping for the memory mapped peripherals.

Across other devices it becomes even more complicated. AVR devices, AFAIK, are not providing memory mapped flash. There are also differences in byte v page erasable flash and eeprom. How would something like this map to Rust? I don't know and I'm honestly skeptical of the practical use but there is a quite serious effort put into making the AVR backend for LLVM ready for use.

---

It really makes me wonder a lot about "embedded" programming and where it is heading. If I were to bet I'd say that there is a significant movement to employ more and more powerful "microcontrollers" in order to allow remove all the resource constraints typically associated with "embedded" programming.

Stuff like Esprino, MicroPython, huge layers of abstraction etc. are today kind of nice tools for learning and starting out -- but give it a few years and somebody will ship a successful product build around this. It doesn't matter that the BOM cost is higher, the current draw is larger and the complexity and security understanding decreased -- it enables a faster time to market and in the end that is what makes the business.

The same is happening in FPGA development.

The old-fashioned hardware folks say that "not how it's done" -- myself included. But you know what they say:

> When the wind of change blows, some build walls, while others build windmills.
> I seem to remember that the Whole Foods employees who would check us out used to always ask, "Did you find everything that you were looking for?" I haven't heard that in a while. Maybe that's related to the changes in stocking?

Lest they remind you that you did not...
"Horizon: Zero Dawn", "Final Fantasy 3", "Nier: Automata", "Opus Magnum", "Bastion", "Transistor", "Tomb Raider", "Redout", "Mass Effect", "Hellblade", "Braid", "Divinity 2" ... these do not fall into that category.

Not everyone is driven by competition.

The niches which fell into oblivion were driven there by the fact they are niches - their consumers too small a group to justify the investment. Crafted, story-driven games are not niche. They are not running the razors edge of being barely profitable, instead some are becoming profitable well before they're expected like "Hellblade". They are funding future games like "Bastion". They are being held as the pinnacle of a genre considered to be a dead horse like "Horizon: Zero Dawn".

Whether you're sad or no, the practices advocated by your article doesn't include these games, these experiences. Your comment here even condemns them as not making financial sense, being doomed to only be revisited at some point in the future.

And yet, these games are being released today, are being funded by major and minor publishers and developers alike for tomorrow. That, more than anything else, is a compelling argument for the gameplay you recommend is not the only way forward.
you are being restricted by - I am making assumptions here - a lack of creativity and a desire to be sarcastic. We may also differ in our interpretation of what "engineering" is. There are numerous jobs already in existence that are likely a thousand years away from being able to reach automation. However, should economy proceed normally after achieving full automation of what is possible within this century - my statement may become clearer.

Distance between our respective positions on this topic is enough that I have to spend considerably more effort to communicate using words a more complete explanation.

p.s. I love to edit as much as I am able to, and dislike those that are prejudiced otherwise.

Indeed, additionally it's a myth that libertarians and advocates of decentralized markets in general are against all government or law enforcement intervention as well. Enforcement of fraud and theft are exactly the type of stuff they view as a critical and necessary role of a centralized government.

The Bitcoin community should openly support this type of stuff which would help legitimize their industry, assuming the charges are credible I haven't yet checked. Only the tiny group of the most extreme (crypto) anarchists believe in some sort of total private/self-regulation in some idealized future.

I've never been convinced that Bitcoin will allow thieves and pedophiles and all the worst things the media talk about being able to operate without fear. It's extremely difficult to be a criminal in 2018 even with a decentralized pseudonymous currency, even assuming the police follow constitutional, targeted, and warrant-based approach to law enforcement (which would obviously should be the implied limits of community support for law enforcement action).
We'd have to ban most of the other news sources for the same reason.

Personally, I assume such articles are bullshit until proven otherwise, but accept them as social objects. What's orders of magnitude more informing is the on-topic and off-topic HN comments under such articles.
I wouldn't think just the rt stuff would make a difference for normal desktop stuff since processes have to opt in to realtime scheduling (and the processes that don't can then be pushed aside to meet deadlines for the RT processes). But, maybe there are other scheduler changes present in the patch set.

I just use whatever RT features are shipping with current Fedora, and it works well enough for me. I don't miss patching a kernel every couple of weeks as was required back in the bad old days of doing audio on Linux. (Though CCRMA made it easier with their package repository, so it hasn't really required a completely DIY process for many years.)
Your seriously overthinking this. It's as simple as FreeBSD is used extensively across the world, not as much as Linux or Windows, but still millions of servers and appliances run FreeBSD. The next detail relevant is whether FreeBSD devs honor embargoes, which they do. Everything else you have written is just trying to rationalize a bad decision by Google and company.

I love this story! Both mathematics and pop-culture have an abundance of names and terminology that can make their discussion very foreign to people who haven't encountered the lingo.

I've been thinking about this as a way to understand why many people hate math. I think a lot of people tend to miss that learn math is a lot like learning any other lingo. They assume somehow when they don't understand something it's due to their lack of intelligence rather than simple unfamiliarity with the terms being used. "It is well known that..." gets interpreted as "Even a moron would understand that..." rather than "It is a key piece of cultural knowledge of this domain that...".

Now no one would ever make a statement like "It is well known that Katy Perry is a celebrity" as part of discussing American pop-culture. They'd just laugh at you instead for not knowing who she is. Not sure which way is better.
“Five Antonio Salieris won’t produce Mozart’s Requiem. Ever. Not if they work for 100 years.”

Can I just point out how absurd this argument is? Even putting aside the issue of Salieri’s talent (which he had in abundance), the fact is that most of the Requiem wasn’t even written by Mozart, except for scattered bits here and there. And as far as the movement that everyone knows is concerned — “Lacrimosa” — Mozart only penned the first eight bars!

So yes, even people with a fraction of Mozart’s talent have and will continue to create things that are just as good as his own work. (Heck, maybe even better!) The rest is inspiration and marketing.
I suspect you're not estimating the overhead of a retail store correctly. There's a lot of packaging and shipping and overhead that you don't see, but it's still there.

Additionally, you're ignoring the very real cost of failed purchases. You go to the retail store, they don't have what you want so you go to the next store, they don't have it either, you go to the next. They have something that's close enough so you buy it but then you end up replacing it after 5 months with what you really wanted. Meanwhile, with the online store the experience is very different, you find what you want, you research different options, you buy it and you're done. A lot of times being able to "put your hands on a product" isn't helpful. Many times you can't even do that in a retail store, you can see the box, that tells you nothing more than the online experience. When you shop online you can take the time to shop around, look at reviews, look at professional recommendations, etc.
