> At no point is that good versus evil, is it?

The serpent is the embodiment of the devil and talks humans into their first sin.

> Job? Everything done to him is with God's will.

God mostly pulls back and lets the devil have his way to prove the devil wrong. The devil had some philosophical argument about man's love for God being purely utilitarian... that Job loves God like a cat with a full food dish loves its master. The story was about evil putting good to an empirical test. So, in that sense, it's certainly about good vs. evil.

You're mostly arguing with the text's perception of good, which is common, but if the text is granted its own moral perspective, it's clearly about good vs. evil.

> More to the point, where are the bad guys?

In both cases the bad guy is literally Satan, which is why I chose those. There are plenty of other Biblical stories where the are evil characters and evil people groups, but I was responding to a question about the devil.

And the temptation of Christ is as literally God vs the devil as you can get.
Most people regret noting living a life true to themselves, most regret working too much missing time with loved ones. Many people regret not having the courage to express their feelings.

This is from the book Top 5 regrets of the dying written by a nurse Bronnie Ware at a nursing home.

My biggest waste of time has been procrastination, simply because it's avoidable. The time I spend thinking about doing stuff while staring at a screen is hard to justify in any logical sense.

The time spent commuting, standing in-line, sitting in meetings and so on may be felt like wasted time but they are activities which are, pretty much, difficult to avoid.
Too bad this comment is getting down voted.

You don’t have to talk to very many people from outside the affluent bubble to hear the resentment. Sure it’s anecdotal evidence that “they are getting pissed”, but it’s evidence none the less.
Many Americans who live in former Confederate states say that the civil war was fought over the autonomy of the states vs. federal unification. Many Americans who live in former (and current, haha) Union states say that it was fought for the economic interests of rich Southern slaveholders. There's a lot of bad blood in this discussion as you can see!
It's sad that such dubious companies exists, but the saddest part is that celebs are paying literally tons of money to keep themself 'uberfamous' while these companies are counting the cash they just earned from them.

Even with newly created twitter accounts you get followers in like a day, whereby some of them are fake accounts, mostly using erotic profile pictures of some kind...

P.s. I like the NYT interactive articles, very nicely done with lots of details.
>Are you perhaps forgetting the part in the first movie where they blow up a planet full of people as a demonstration?

Well, some country did nuke two cities full of people (which on Earth terms is the same as blowing up a planet). And they still can paint themselves as the good guys that did what they had to do to end the war (and save lives from traditional warfare/etc). Humans have lots of ways of justifying all kinds of bad shit.

You gotta at least give Rich credit for contributing critical bug fixes back to open source tools he uses like Svelte, even when he's under a deadline!

It seems like Svelte is worth taking a good look at!

I've been shopping around for a "magical disappearing UI framework" to re-implement my old jQuery pie menu component. I was considering Polymer because it was minimal and followed the latest web standards for components, shadow dom, events, etc. How does Svelte compare and interoperate with Polymer?

Something relevant : I like walking. Really like. Google Maps report suggests that I walked 100 mi (160 km) in December of 2017. It takes time and I basically commute from the start point to back the same point. While one can consider this as the time wasting, I am trying to get the most out of it by : not assisting google maps for directions, finding path on my own; listening to NPR podcasts; contemplating poker hands I recently played;

Sure, in Java applications where performance is critical it might be hard. Is this all Java applications? Is this even most Java applications?

I'm not necessarily agreeing with the original point that you can rewrite any Java app in Python, because that's ridiculous as well. But your counterpoint that it can only happen "when a user-space could be written in it" is very poorly chosen.

Maybe the logic is another way around? Companies that have a clear product-market fit and generate enough revenue to self-fund and don't have competition closely behind their backs have much less reason to raise.

Maybe you are mistaking "They were so successful, so they didn't need to raise" with "they didn't raise, so they were successful".

The "Pandora's Box" was the introduction of the first sin, the first human evil, which had far-reaching consequences that Ian Malcolm would snicker and rant about. The Christian narrative starts with this and climaxes with the crucifixion of God himself. I'm honestly confused how people can think the Bible, as a corpus, doesn't have good vs evil and God vs the devil all through it.

It's funny, I came to the comments to specifically complain about that graphic. There are significant disadvantages to the isometric view for that data, and absolutely no advantage that I can see, other than it looks pretty if you're not trying to get information out of it.

I think that Tufte needs to make a resurgence with this generation of designers.
> Just the fact that your hands are on the handle bar, and that when you lean a little you will also naturally put pressure on the side of your lean, pushing away the handlebar in the direction you're leaning on, which initiate the process of countersteering. It's what people naturally do on 2 wheeled vehicles whether they were taught to or not.

When you put it that way, it does make more sense. That is, if you don't countersteer, then you'll end up falling because the the vehicle will lean too much. With a bicycle, though, you may not really feel that you're pushing back on the handlebar because of the difference in weight compared to a motorcycle.

> You should be able to make a turn as fast as mechanically possible without falling and at least be conscious that one should keep a steady speed, neither braking nor accelerating,

I actually already do this while riding and driving given what I've read about the concept of the "friction circle" which states that turning while accelerating or braking requires more traction compared to just turning. So for the most part, I will brake and slow down to my desired speed and then coast through the turn.

As for accelerating in a turn, it's a bit more problematic due to the possibility of the pedal hitting the road surface during the lean if it's at the 6 o'clock position. That's why I make sure I keep the pedals in the 9 and 3 o'clock positions when turning.
Having been privy to some of the contractual details of deals that Google has made with other medical centers, I’m betting that they probably got it for ”free”, as in they didn’t directly pay a set fee to the universities. Google most likely provided funding in the form of donations (tax write off), free cloud compute resources and/or cloud storage (write off), and the opportunity for university researchers to co-author high impact publications (everybody wins).

Also, 200k patients is actually kind of small. Granted this dataset is far more granular/robust than what you’d typically find in commercially available healthcare datasets, but to give you some frame of reference, the healthcare datasets I work with contain > 20 million individuals (again, with orders of magnitude fewer features).
I'm trying to implement voting, so valuable ideas needing co-hackers show first (just need to find a way to integrate with airtable).

A conversation about how public transport really works
>What utter drivel. The moral face-off between good and evil is core to a great many religions, most notably Christianity.

What utter naive sophomoric putdown. Christianity has much more nuance in its tenets than some crude "good and evil" battle.

It's only in modern-ish naive protestant readings when it reduces to that.

There's huge nuance in Christian theology, beginning with how evil is present in all of us, the "good guys". From the biblical Fall from Edem, to the Gospel's parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector (and tons of other things besides), and onwards to two millenia of theological writings.

"Let he who has not sinned cast the first stone" is not about some naive Good vs Evil battle with clearly defined good and bad guys.

In fact people who did thought that Evil and Good are clear cut and embodied in people (a person could be evil etc) where thrown away from the church and considered heretics, because it was seen what harm their naive stance would do to society.

If the point is that Hades isn't the basically-Satan from the Disney cartoon, fair enough. But some characters are atrocious. Like Minos. And Diomedes of Thrace.
To be fair, this appears to make about as much sense as your average rock song. :P Even something as venerable as Stairway To Heaven has lyrics that are, at best, allegorical poetry, or, at worst, sweet-sounding gibberish.
> not a single of 5+ political issues mentioned in this threat have different answers from state to state

This over constrains "legalization" to a single dimension. Cannabis is a difficult policy space, marrying the complexity of liquor laws with the harm reduction imperatives of medicine and drug policy.

Sample: medical versus recreational standards, personal limits (if any, and if so, what?), tax levels (quantity? dollar amount?), where to apply the taxes (consumer, retailer, distributor, and/or grower?), constrain grower or distributor size (+: more independent shops, -: higher costs), give this to alcohol regulators or create a new regulatory umbrella, what about the cash (state-chartered bank or credit union? criminality and money laundering concerns?), monitoring adolescent usage, risk education, heavy metals monitoring, et cetera.
I enjoyed both the piece and your comment. I might be somewhat preloaded (both parents sociologists), but the Boston Review might be right to assume that their readers have some background or at least interest in philosophy, sociology, political discours etc.

And isn't reality even a somewhat bigger term than you describe, in that (loosely: post-modern) reality is always subjective. Your drilling down ("Now imagine ...") still suggests A truth, while for me 'constructing reality' really drives home that reality is subjective, a construct.
This comment breaks the HN guidelines against name-calling in arguments, and also against snarky dismissals—especially snarky dismissals of other people's work ("sorry professor... ok?"). It also breaks the guideline that asks: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize."

The internet comment genre makes this sort of thing nearly irresistible to post, but on HN we all need to resist it.

When I was growing up, we would often hear radio stations faintly in our vehicle after we had parked it and shut it off on our driveway - that's how I learned that radio waves go through everything all the time. It wasn't just one time or one vehicle, it happened in quite a few spots on our driveway.
I normally end up walking about 200km per month; mostly to and from work. It’s fairly habit-forming; I really feel the need to walk at least a few km every day, these days. I don’t see it as time wasting at all.
I've read ~15 of Dick's novels over the past 20 years, and _Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep_ is among my least favorite, despite the excellent movies based on it. This past year I finally read one of his books that awed me without leaving a sour taste re: character development, lackluster ending, etc.: _The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch_. Nonetheless, despite his novels' shortcomings, I have thoroughly enjoyed many of them.
10 years ago I was laid back, easy to chill, hard to get work done procrastinator. And now I'm a high strung, hard to relax, always super driven work horse.

And let me tell you I'd go back to being lazy in a heartbeat. I was much less successful and poorer, but happier, calmer, and more interesting.

I highly recommend procrastinating.
Do You Jump to Conclusions Too Fast?
Hmm. Looking into this now.
It's actually a service that these companies offer, but it's significantly more expensive over time since it's a continuous activity vs. a one time thing. I imagine it's a lot more maintenance on their end.

It's one thing to have x fake accounts follow you once, but it's another thing altogether to script the same x accounts to like every one of your posts every time.

It's actually a downward spiral for people playing this game: you buy 100k followers, not cheap, but you can take that hit once. However if you want to look legit, you have to constantly pay for those accounts to like your posts, which over months can add up to a really unpleasant bill. It's especially unpleasant because none of those followers are monetizable, since they're not real, and you're now on the hook to keep paying for likes in perpetuity, or people might call you out.

It's a reason why often you will see the nouveau-famous influencers claim that "IG shut down my account because my content was too saucy" as a way to save face and stop paying for likes. In reality they closed the account themselves and started from scratch because they could no longer afford the bill.

Again, most have no idea, watching this from the outside.
Darth Vader was not the one who wanted to blow up a planet. In fact, he dismissed the idea of such a weapon as futile and silly. The followup movies in the original trilogy added layers to the question of good and evil, and the most recent film in the series explicitly questioned the entire premise. So maybe opening with Star Wars is not the best example.
Hardly a waste of time unless you're driving your own car.
Else, you read a book, etc.
No doubt that may be true, but if a company doesn't have a clear market fit, how will more cash solve that? It just extends the opportunity to find such fit.

I don't doubt that investment money thrown at the correct product can spur it along. However, I believe most investors are looking for long shots, or returns better than the stock market. To obtain those type of gains, they will invest in the companies that can go boom or bust.

In contrast, the company that doesn't take money is incentivized to simply not go bust (even if it grows more slowly). They have to be cautious, keep their customers and grow. It's a requirement.

That being said, I don't disagree with you. Perhaps, I'm completely wrong in gneral, but from my circle of friends that appears to be the case.
The person I was replying to was clearly taking about the case of replacing them with AI-created actors.

Can anyone give a decent concrete real example of "extracting problem stories"?

I see this line of thinking repeated a lot but haven't seen any realistic examples that could lead to a viable small businesses.

There are obvious ones that you don't need anyone telling you nowadays.

Like "I need a good customer support software.". You don't need someone telling you that to know that you can make customer support software and make money with it. It's an existing category with lots of money and competition in it.

Chances are anything you want to make already fits inside an existing "category".

In that case it's not that useful to know the problem exists. The hard part is competing with hundreds of existing companies that have multiple years of experience advantage over you.

Or you may get specific individual complaints and requests.

Either it's such a specific odd thing that the solution for it is going to be "use google docs, dropbox, Excel, etc...".

Or it is "missing features" from other stuff like "Zendesk is ok but it doesn't do ...".

I just don't quite see the "light bulb moment" of this "talk to people and hear their problems" narrative.

Problems fit into broad categories like file sharing, website creation, collaboration, productivity tools, word processing, entertainment, and so on.

Whatever you do is going to fall under a category/industry amongst a bunch of other companies. Then it's a matter of competition and incremental improvement and everything that comes with it.

I can't imagine what sort of "surprising" problem description one might hear from people that could give you new substantial knowledge about something you didn't already know.

I think the main change over the last hundred years or so is that most people will no longer accept "we should go to war because war is in itself glorious and we will win", or "to be a warrior is the ideal way for a man to live a flourishing life."

I agree entirely that if a country's leaders manage to persuade their people that they should go to war against their neighbour because they are Evil then the result is likely to be worse than if they just have a war because they think that marching an army in to take over a couple of counties is a legitimate thing to do.

But nonetheless I think that getting the latter generally seen as illegitimate is Progress with a capital P.

That's fair, it just sounded like you were entirely discounting the main story when describing what it is and not just your what you found interesting. Star wars is pretty in-your-face about this with the main plot though, so I wanted to know where you were coming from. :)
Interestingly enough, the Qt framework (very common in cars) uses a rather clever trick to avoid that. The QtWayland module allows to create your cluster on the compositor level instead of application level. That way, each widget can be its own process and crash at will. QtRemoteObjects even sync C++ object across either the network or QNX IPC so the logic can also be in its own process and crash at will.

In a way, it's like microservices, but completely implicit to the developers, without explicit serialization and all the way to the "individual pixels" on the screens.
Dystopias tend toward fantasies of absolute control, in which the system sees all, knows all, and controls all.

Yeah, I greatly admire works that can show a diverse ecology instead of trying to say that an entire world is controlled by a single entity. It just feels stale.

Kim Stanley Robinson (who wrote his PHD thesis on Dick's works [0]) is really good at building an ecology of interesting elements that interact and create complexity.

“Hardly” is a bit strong; other people might have opinions which are different from yours.

For example: I’d hate to be stuck in a train carriage for two hours, packed in with people I don’t know, maybe Underground with no internet, all because my job requires me to be in a certain place at a certain time.

That’s two hours I could have spent sleeping; with a loved one; sleeping with a loved one... you get the idea.

More issues:

- Rarities of each part is not encoded in the contract (It just depends on how the application logic decides to decode the uint). They could swap Shadow parts with Gold and the contract doesn't do anything to prevent that

> // If 23 (or a multiple of it) is generated, a lamborghini will be awarded

Since this is a comment, if 23 is generated, a unit will be generated, which they _promise_ will be a lamborghini. Pinky promise.

There is also nothing stopping them from bumping the drop-rates for the final game. They promise 2%, but since this contract is void post the pre-sale, it will have to be a new one and it could have a 80% lamborghini drop rate!
