Is there a way to be ASIC-proof without being less efficient? I'm not 100% familiar with it, but my base level understanding was that you are adding more work (e.g. memory access) to nullify the raw compute advantage of ASICs.

Perhaps a better word than "Eventually" would have been "Temporarily".

There's a large gap that a society must cross to go from third-world to developed. Education, infrastructure, technology, culture, and politics, and career changes take time and money, and when you're competing against other nations making the same transition, and others exploiting the system through corruption, black markets, disguised slavery, wealth extraction by foreign corporations, etc. it's very difficult to make the transition.

I believe that the assumption is that after making the transition, the resulting society will have sufficient economic excess that it will be able to support the large elderly population and will be better off in the end.

I think this is the thread where I should recommend the best book to teach reading: Let's Read, a Linguistic Approach

I got the recommendation here in HN and I used the book with my 2 daughters. I started with my first daughter when she was 4.5 years old. I started with my second daughter at an older age because she was showing a slight case of dyslexia. It took 2 years to finish the book with each of them. After they were done they could read everything. My second daughter is 9 and is almost done with Oliver Twist.

A no-interest loan to a non-family member is taxed as income to the borrower. They impute an interest rate and say that amount is income since a free loan has a value. I'm not sure what exactly the rate they impute is or how large the loan has to be before they do this.

FWIW I've never thought of Steve Jobs as a force for good in the world.

I didn't mean to seem catty. Rather, if someone exercises some philanthropic tendencies, but the wealth that backs those things up came from illegal, immoral, unethical, or dubious business practices, should we celebrate, or be cautious about our hero worship?

For my own part, I find the sentiment:

> I think most corporations of a certain size do.

To be particularly apologetic -- we really should be holding our elites up to higher standards than 'many people do wrong stuff, so it's okay'.

Also:

> The good he has done the world since then so dramatically outweighs the bad ...

This attitude implicitly discounts the benefits that other people may have done with that wealth, had it not been redirected into Microsoft / Bill Gates.

Yes, look, undeniably, as I said from the outset, they're doing some really good work -- but it's impossible for us to know what may have been done, or may be being done right now, in a more ethical history.
Many times, markets and business dictate time pressure. So yes, this is very real in startups at least. Like for instance, an inevitable market development might want you to ship code by the next week, however improbable or impossible. I know I'll get a lot of flak for saying this, but that's ok. I've experienced it first hand. In an early stage startup, when faced with the choice of losing revenue/delivering on time, you'll choose the latter. That means your shipping slot is fixed and so are your features. You'll just have to slog it out or work real smart. Even if you cut features, you'll still realize there's a lot to be accomplished in a short span of time. This is mostly a one off thing. If such events repeat endlessly, that is classic bad management. So you'll need to deliver on time, sometimes :).

So, I guess that companies which administer such time based tests foresee at least one such situation for that role. I'm just speculating.

You need to get the programmers together and agree on a coding guideline, a linter and other architectural fundamentals.

Then the gardening phase begins, which means no refactoring or warning or style fixes unless you touch the code to do something meaningful like a feature or bug fix. Leave everything you touch better than before. Dissolve big classes and functions into smaller ones. Write a test or two for the smaller side effect free function you just created.

It takes a ton of time and patience but every week the kraken loses a tentacle. And once most code feels untangled you can embark on a refactor since all of the parts are movable now.

I think the universal hate of Microsoft has survived as a meme 'till this day. People may not know the details, but they know they're supposed to dislike MS.

Still, all the bad things Microsoft did back then are a rounding error compared to all the good Bill and Melinda are doing right now. I understand the idea of not promoting "end justifies the means" thinking, but we need to be pragmatic about this - there are only few people on this planet who have, simultaneously, lots of resources, their heart in the right place, and enough smarts to use those resources effectively for the common good. Discouraging those people from helping is a pretty stupid thing to do.

It's the "suddenly" part that I'm taking issue with. The problems with American democracy are well documented and yes "rigged" is term that objectively applies to it over many decades in many different ways.

Electoral reform is underrated, I think people can't quite imagine how different things would be under voting regimes where every voter can help you, even if you're their 2nd, 3rd or 4th choice. This means that people work on projects with broad appeal, and have less incentive to demonise the people that will never vote for them. Just the fact that you can assume I'm on "the other team" from my comment is part of the problem.

OSM is the best freely available map service in Germany. Many (if not all?) local and national institutions use it as well as many private companies.

The mobile apps got really nice and are useful for normal users for different purposes and all that for free.

There are even apps everybody can use to fill the data gaps like: https://github.com/westnordost/StreetComplete

It needs some kind of pretty hard decadence (or corruption?) to ignore that for such a broad generalization.
> Create some external database that ties multiple hashes together for use in your ecosystem. This also requires re-inventing bisect on top of this database. I'm sure the intelligent people of HN can come up with the multitude of other tools you need to modify to make this work, but its not trivial.

The thing is, there are already many mature well understood tools that you're probably already using in your organization whose goal is to tie multiple hashes together. Back in the day they were called package managers and had names like dpkg and rpm, and we'd use something like "pkg-config" to link to a specific one. These days we have docker and nix and a hundred language-specific dependency managers to solve every little variation on "tie these specific hashes together".

Monorepos still require tooling to manage effectively, but that tooling is at a disadvantage because it's not already being ubiquitously used. And unless you're bringing your entire dependency tree, recursively, all the way down to your OS, into the monorepo then you're still going to have to be dealing with those external dependencies one way or another.

And if you're not versioning the world, then it's really just an argument of the appropriate size of a unit of functionality in a multi-repo, and in that case "small enough to be well supported by existing tooling" isn't a terrible upper-bounds to pick for most people.

http://scottchacon.com/2011/08/31/github-flow.html is the style I favour. It certainly involves steps but every distinction it forces you to draw feels meaningful (at least to me), with the possible exception of the commit/push distinction which is a performance optimisation (I certainly wouldn't want to have to wait for a push on every commit).
It's not a per transaction cost, but as I understand it they are closely related and there is no upper bound on it. As the number of transactions per block and the value of the currency increases, it becomes more profitable to mine, thus it makes more economic sense to invent more power into it.
Haha definitely!

That's a trade-off I'd be willing to make though given other advantages git offers. I wonder how mercurial would fare on that regard (possibly enhanced with a bespoke extension). Not that there's any reason for your tooling to change since it fits the bill so well :)

Anyway for archmac I went the boring way and stuffed everything as subdirs inside a single monorepo as I reckoned it'd just be easier for contributions. Definitely not the same scope as Arch Linux though.

I also used this book with both my sons. It worked amazingly. The oldest one is one of the best readers in the state if the assessment is to be believed. I suspect a lot of the value is the time with the parent actually doing the work of teaching. But the book itself is arranged in such a way that the reading patterns are highlighted and reinforced.
Other factors (e.g. Do your friends smoke?) play a much larger role than advertising.
Do you mean in terms of demographic pyramid?

Lets say that the average number of surviving children per couple is 2, then 4, then 2 again. The children/parents ratio for the 2nd/1st generation is 4/2=2. The next generation is 2/2=1.

Assuming that the average number of surviving children was about 2 per couple before all this, then the ratio basically returns to normal. The only abnormal ratio is the large generation compared to the previous one.

After the large generation, the population is just bigger. But the gen1/gen2 ratio is normal. The population doesn't shrink back down to pre-boom levels.
"Why greatness cannot be planned". Changed the way I search for new ideas. Instead of goal setting and conquer-and-divide approach, I allow myself to be guided by what I find interesting, even if it seems to be wasting time.

That doesn't have anything to do with it. Many folks don't - but their children are likely to do so. People watch the same shows every month, depending on their viewing habits. People research movies and shows at different times than they watch them, only to find out they can't actually watch it when they get to the other country. And it sucks.

Yes, but in this case someone else did the thinking for you and it is actually pretty accurate. If the only time you care about quality is when you are being checked, audited or supervised then it will not work.

Quality needs to be infused all across the board and needs to be reinforced from the management downwards throughout the whole organization, not just in the quality control department.

Consciousness is real because we experience it. If anything, the existence of our own subjective experience is the only thing we can be sure of. Usefulness has no bearing on it.

While I’m suggesting above that conscious experience itself is probably irreducible and uncommunicable, that doesn’t mean that we can’t understand its causes and effects. It seems highly plausible that consciousness plays some functional role in the human brain, the understanding of which could be useful for medicine and AI.

Finally, I find plenty of utility in the joy and wonder of trying to understand this universe. The existence of consciousness as one kind of phenomenon or another has profound implications for our understanding of it, disproving some hypotheses and suggesting new ones.
