There's caching all over the place so that you don't end up redoing the expensive stuff (ie creating attributed strings & CTLineRefs). It seems to work pretty well in terms of maintaining 60fps.
> The former is a significant part of the reason for the latter.

Obviously there's a feedback loop where people are paid in a currency and then people have that currency so retailers accept that currency and then they pay their employees with that currency, etc. But I don't think anyone has recently sat down to think about which currency they're going to use on a daily basis and selected that currency because it's the currency they have to pay their taxes in once a year. People use it because they have it, businesses accept it because that's what people have. Why? It's not because of taxes...

It's because nearly every modern country has a central bank or a "pseudo-central bank" (like the federal reserve) that issues the trade currency for that country. That central bank issues that currency because they want to control the economy (as Krugman mentions). It's not because they want to receive that currency to pay taxes -- accepting it as the payment method for taxes is a consequence of issuing that currency, not the reason for it.

> but if a large share of the non-speculative trade is on the dark web, Krugman’s statement you criticize remains correct.

Well sure, but there's no evidence of that and an article about usage of bitcoin on the dark web is not a useful source for such an argument -- in fact, using it in that manner discrets the author entirely.
Civilization (II)’s “modern” techs are like a time capsule of the late 80s / early 90s.

- Cure for Cancer is a wonder of the world and requires “genetic engineering”

- You can build SDI lasers in every city, and they work. In 2018 the current state of the art is “it will probably shoot down an ICBM, maybe”

- Fusion power and room temperature superconductor are basic research projects. The technology immediately preceding superconductor is ... plastics

- SETI project is a wonder of the world and gives a huge boost to scientific research. The obvious choice now would be to change it for “the internet” but hindsight is 20/20
And you would consider those two examples enough to doubt their ability to succeed in a completely unrelated field?

Unless your answer is "yes", it's nitpicking.
I’m not totally convinced that absolves the system/UX. It seems more like an excuse/justification.
The sun is a diffuse emitter. It blankets the entire pyramid in neutrinos.

What OP is proposing, I think, is a mobile point emitter and mobile detector. Move these around the pyramid and you can create an array of lines that determine the density through the pyramid on that axis. Rotate the entire setup around the pyramid to generate intersecting lines, and you could build up a map.

Of course, the pyramid is also moving around the sun, so you do have a distant point source of neutrinos, but not a very consistent or convenient one.

And, of course, the detectors are really difficult. Not exactly something you can hang from a quadcopter and fly around the pyramid... :)
Also, it could help getting more people to understand that there is not just .com + maybe their national domain. Working with non-digital natives (but also the younger generations) often shows me how little understanding for the web there actually is. It became even worse with the App Store: "What is a browser?" Well...

In theory, at least the XML based format should be easier to maintain compatibility with than the old "dump whatever is in memory" binary formats.

At this point, it's been long enough that the old formats aren't seen anywhere near as often as the x formats they replaced. Wonder if it'd be cost-effective to just drop support for doc and xsl and double down on docx and xlsx?
Most of the messages are tiny & the decoding occurs off the main thread (encoding varies I think). JSON is definitely fine as a first choice to get the system running but we are considering at some point upgrading to something more modern like Cap'n'proto or flatbuffers that offers free encode/decode.
Based on all the information I've seen about the UI of the system[1], this kind of error was more or less inevitable. Firing the poor operator for this is reprehensible.

> Distributism (also known as distributionism or distributivism) is an economic ideology that developed in Europe in the late 19th and early 20th century based upon the principles of Catholic social teaching, especially the teachings of Pope Leo XIII in his encyclical Rerum novarum and Pope Pius XI in Quadragesimo anno.

> According to distributists, property ownership is a fundamental right, and the means of production should be spread as widely as possible, rather than being centralized under the control of the state (state capitalism), a few individuals (plutocracy), or corporations (corporatocracy). Distributism, therefore, advocates a society marked by widespread property ownership.

> Distributism has often been described in opposition to both socialism and capitalism, which distributists see as equally flawed and exploitative. Thomas Storck argues: "both socialism and capitalism are products of the European Enlightenment and are thus modernizing and anti-traditional forces.

So not to be snarky, but how is this anything more than simple "Marxism, minus the parts that don't work with Catholic religion, plus Catholic religion"?

This one is extra bad. Not even a communication plan? They did manage to spend $13 MILLION on Oracle shit though. The best part is the solution they sold, which is not even working in New Hampshire, and was built on DynamicsCRM (not portable to oracle)

The grand finale:

"The contract was amended in February 2017, which extended the termination date for an additional year for maintenance coverage. It also increased the maximum amount of the contract by $3 million, primarily for additional hardware and software."

That person needs to be fired immediately and probably arrested.

There's fundamental limits on understanding computation, where the only way to predict what a system will do is to run it.

It's worth noting that those clinical applications were developed when technology didn't allow long reads, so "clinical applications don't need long reads" is at present a truism. There may be potential applications that require long reads that simply couldn't have been invented yet (albeit I haven't the slightest what those would be.)
Fucking shelving? This what happens when regulatory capture goes wild.
all the same laws are applicable and fraud is fraud.

what is more interesting is that a variety of traditional control mechanisms appear to be ineffective at stopping the two voluntary parties from interacting whereas for banking and brokerages they are sufficient.

I'd hate to see a second useless set of laws be made, similar to "hate crimes" (a crime is a crime - except when you say a certain something or think a certain way?? wtf) but how would you even enforce a law requiring specific criteria for an ICO when an anonymous 14 year old kid anywhere in the world can do it in 20 minutes??!

i am of the thought that not every guerilla ICO has to be brought to justice but the "rule of law" requires some semblance of respect and obedience and I've been to countries where everything is up for negotiation and no law is "rule". slippery slope. perception of authority should not be diluted if possible.

seems the nation state's reach has started to exceed it's grasp....
I get the impression that WENN pitched the idea to Kodak, which has been looking for straws to grasp for quite a while.
Part of that is because Civ II is meant to model a large span of technologies over time using a fairly uniform mechanism. It would be infeasible to include the vast numbers of technological branches that have occurred in modern times while not making the game one that takes place mostly in modern times... So it only picks a few representative technologies so show you.
I'm still learning the architecture but my understanding is that the way it works is that the frontend sends the character to the backend which incorporates it into the model & then generates a notification back to the front-end via the regular delta diff algorithm. The front-end then applies this delta to its data structures that represent the view & updates the rendering. All of this turns out to be super quick because the rope data structure applies changes quickly & the frontend is modifying very little data to update its rendering. My hunch is that it's probably less efficient if you're trying to do a lot of little modifications very quickly vs other editors but that's not a realistic use-case; you're usually inputting individual characters at human speed or doing large modifications via bulk operations that can occur in 1 delta.

There's also abstractions in nature, a non-spaghetti form of code-reuse - a natural outcome in code, when the same thing is reused several times. e.g. cells form the "atoms" of a body. They are very similar, but specialized. Many internal mechanisms are the same. Metabolism. DNA itself and transcription is reused. It's not much, but we may find other abstractions, currently hidden, if they have been reused many times.
Likely the issue was that the garage was being used as a living space and they are down-playing the issue and just saying shelves needed to be removed. Nobody in the area actually parks their car in their garage :) Ours is bike storage/server room/gym, and has built-in countertops and cabinets. The floor is carpeted, the ceiling is finished, and even the attic above it is carpeted and lit.

yep, I would suspect that too many at-scale ops are using either ubuntu/amazon/centos etc are eating at their market share capabilities... buying up these cements them in the devops toolbox a lot longer. Super smart.

However, I would love to see how they have evolved their openstack offering and their integration with intel's secure compute since the last time I worked on that project... I havent really looked - but I wonder if at all the meltdown/spectre issue affected them at all.

is there any at all risk from a security standpoint where redhat owns the tooling for many devops customers?
Wow, that is one heck of a story! As a business owner, some things come to mind:

- How do you explain (to the tax man, really) where the money comes from?

- Isn't this a gross misappropriation of company funds, and very much illegal?

- How does this guy find pants to fit his enormous balls?
> I hope that readers of this comment understand that this narrative of the "systematic rape" (quoting parent) of Germany by the soldiers of the Red Army, while factual, is a lot more complicated than meets the eye. It is a narrative that has been deliberately narrowed, with a strong political motivation, to the scope of 1945.

What an absolutely sickening comment. Appalling even. If you do not realize what you've just wrote, imagine someone wrote: "Slavery, while factual, is a lot more complicated than what meets the eye."

Or: "The Holocaust, while factual, is a lot more complicated than what meets the eye."

I really hope such revisionistic comments don't go unpunished on HN.

I'm well aware of the context, contemporary cultural trends in Evangelicalism, and aware that their behavior was innocent on a personal level. But it speaks to how the incidents of Judaism and Jewishness are conflated with the individuals, causing the objectification of a group people. (Also, neither of us was there. My manager was and we'll have to take his word regarding how out of sorts it was. There's more to the story, such as what the booth was promoting and his interactions with attendees, of which I don't remember the specifics. As a Catholic kid who grew up in the Deep South being teased by Baptist and Pentecostal kids--and sometimes teachers--for supposedly worshipping Mary and who used the incidents of my religion--praying the Rosary, sign of the cross--to demean me, I think I have some sense of how non-practitioners handling such things, depending on the context and their manner, could be indicative of some deeper social pathology. Another example as a Catholic--the way Hollywood mines Roman Catholic symbolism to impart mystical, paranormal, or conspiratorial qualities to a story, always conspicuously devoid of core Christian symbols like Jesus, because in the traditional Protestant-American narrative Catholicism was everything _except_ the worship of Jesus.)

Where the victimhood comes in is how Evangelical Christian politicians in particular justify extreme, pro-Israeli foreign policies by reference to the history of anti-Semitism and in particular the Holocaust. These people claim to know what anti-Semitism means and how it should inform politics, even though they're neither Jewish nor ever had to personally experience anti-Semitism. They objective Israelis and Jews the way Muslim leaders in Arab countries objectify Jewish and Christian minorities, by reference to their special status as Abrahamic religions and a God given mandate to protect them. And within the larger narrative of victimization in American culture, they've positioned themselves as defenders of a victimized group--much like they've positioned themselves as victims in the recent Freedom of Religion debates--and used that position to justify policies with are ultimately self-serving. (So far the policies are largely welcomed in Israel, but I'm sure most Israelis know they're playing with fire by courting Evangelical groups.)

More to the point, the staff who worked at that think tank were well aware of the objectification and deeper prejudices that underlay the financial and political support given to them by certain groups. It's a complex and subtle dimension to racism that most people don't understand, especially if they've not experienced it first hand. That Evangelical Christians are oblivious to this dimension speaks to how pernicious it can be, as it shows how people believing themselves innocent, sympathetic, and righteous can unknowingly harbor, perpetuate, and exacerbate social prejudice.

Experienced it both in summer and winter months. Both completely sub-optimal. Because you have poor air circulation and walls are completely air and water tight, your microclimate depends on your HVAC system completely. Too few or too many people in the room and everything changes, temperature goes out of whack, humidity, etc.

We ended up constantly opening and closing windows in the winter and turning AC on and off full blast in summer. This is in Central Europe, so not the hottest or clodest climate out there.
Let's continue the ridiculous premise and explore the following assumption; "pictures... identify the weaknesses".

This is a type of utopia that many of us yearn for, but never appears to have worked at the level of large nation-states. I mean, here are some things that are not taken into account:

- People who can not work because they simply can't hold down a job, period.

- Externalities such as neighboring (or even distant) communes dumping wastewater into rivers etc., or polluting the ground, or air... you get the idea. What about natural calamities, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and such?

- Conflicts over scarce resources. Water, for example. Communes that rely on a common source of water will likely have conflicts. How are they resolved?

- Any commune is exceedingly unlikely to be good at producing all the things it needs. Trade will need to develop. Does 'self-reliance' exclude the possibility of trade?

- How large should a commune be, to enable innovation? Without innovation, there will be stagnation that will harm the commune in the long run.

- How would a commune handle people that are 'different'? How about criminals within and without?

> These guys take your USD and issue you equivalent tokens you can trade with.

Nope. That's how it was until about a year ago, when all their banking accounts were closed (probably due to the issue you describe).

For the past year, they just randomly printed millions of "US-Backed" tokens, and people trade them as if they were actually backed by dollars, even though they are not the result (since a year ago) of any USD deposits, and even though you can exchange them for actual USD. It's bizarre.

You program still treats health care as a market commodity, which it isn't: unlike the usual perfect market model, there isn't any upper bound on the utility function. You'd be willing to pay any price, even a non-rational one, for health. So prices are lower bound. What more, your program assumes health care isn't a right, as even if it makes it more affordable, it still keeps it at a constant rate: that is, me and someone who makes half of what I'm making would pay the same, but that would be a different chunk of our paycheck. And unlike, say, going to a fancy restaurant vs cooking at home, you can't substitute health care.

If you take health care has a right (art. 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights does), then there is a simple solution for the above, known as single payer. Of course, it won't work in the US, because it isn't as biased against the poor as the "free market" health care.

It sounds like you're upset about capital inequality around the world, which is fair. YC abstaining from taking advantage of such knowledge concentration for ideological reasons, though, would not help global inequality. All that would happen is that YC would be usurped by another organization that isn't afraid of such issues. Problems like income and capital inequality are definitely growing issues in our country and world, but they probably won't be solved by individual companies within a capitalistic society.
