>>Although it’s true that the most expensive tulips of all cost around 5,000 guilders (the price of a well-appointed house)...

>How is that not irrational? Come on.

Rolex, Vertu, Louis Vuitton, Patek Philippe, Coach, Armani. All of these are luxury brands. Their products range from very expensive to more than the average person will earn in a lifetime, never mind the price of a well appointed house, all for goods which are at best five times as mass market equivalents that cost less than 1% of their price.

And they're worth it to t least some of their buyers either because they believe the difference in quality is worth it or because they understand signalling.

I have pretty wealthy relatives that live in the US, some of them having citizenship.

My perception is (and reality coukd very well be completely different), that they have a lot of personal freedom enabled by the money they have. A type of freedom that would not be possible in Europe even with that kind of money.
The reason I don't see the benefit is that, if a piece of text is long enough that I prefer using vim over just typing in the text box, then I probably want to actually save a copy to disk in case clicking "submit" doesn't go through. So I might as well actually use vim at that point.
I totally agree. A lot of times you have to search for intuition rather than it being provided. Rote memorization is useless because mathematical research requires the intuition to give your mind the right direction to go in.
It irks somewhat that even an article bearing the Harvard name can't make the distinction between 'Europe' and the EU. Using them interchangeably in casual conversation is one thing, but doing it whilst making a reasoned case is just sloppy handling of the detail.

What is often overlooked and misunderstood is that the bulbs were not only valued for their beauty, but more importantly for their use as commercial breeding stock.

Since it was not possible to reproduce the best bulbs through seed propagation, the already rare buds themselves were the only source of producing future varieties exhibiting the same beautiful patterns. This goes a great way to explaining the high prices paid, and debunking the myth of irrationality.

"The tulip market involved only bulbs affected by a mosaic virus which had the effect of creating beautiful, feathered patterns in the flowers. Only diseased bulbs were valued by traders, because a particular pattern could not be reproduced through seed propagation. Only through budding of the mother bulb would a pattern breed true." - Garber, Famous First Bubbles https://www.aeaweb.org/articles?id=10.1257/jep.4.2.35

Well, to begin with because nobody said it's a crime, rather a valid reason for his employment to fire him.

Second, "thought-crime" refers to the rules of a society with a certain type of government (an imaginary one, in Orwell's book). Google is not a society, it's a private company and you can't really think of its internal rules as defining crime, or being laws etc.

You know, "buying the right one" Microsoft product can easily be a full time job. That is, if it is even possible. I was under the impression that the only version of Office available was the 365.

But anyway, my workplace brought some version with a clear requirement of getting an eternal license on it. Yet, it breaks all the time because it can't get licenses on the cloud. I am still not sure how MS isn't evading the requirements, but well, it's not my job to check it.
Two years before their first flight, Wilbur Wright confided to Orville that man would not fly for 50 years.

It took until two years before the first atomic bomb for Enrico Fermi to be convinced that one could be built at all.

Even the foremost experts in a field have a terrible prognostication record, because their predictions are necessarily based on what they do and do not know how to do at the moment.

Within a year or two, a breakthrough could be made by someone else—or by they themselves!—that changes everything.
The darker meaning of the phrase "Freedom isn't free." Of course, everywhere you go, having more money provides the opportunity for more freedom than having less money, but perhaps nowhere on earth is the difference bigger. In America, if you have lots of money, you can build a space program and launch your own car into heliocentric orbit. If you have very little money, you have virtually no opportunity to do anything. Ask someone who needs to work three jobs to eat how free they feel.
Unsurprisingly there are already multiple projects called JPath
The benefit of a query language is that it can be described declaratively (i.e. in a non-executable text file, perhaps within JSON itself), and then programs written in any language can execute its query logic using a standard interpreter written in that specific programming language.

So you get reusability of queries across the stack, in all languages that implement a parser against the spec. Your example only provides re-usability in JavaScript, and requires evaluating code at run-time so may not be suitable for queries based on user-submitted data in multi-tenant environments.

Europol as an organisation has no power to act on its own, it relies on the co-operation of the EU member states, and needs permission from the relevant national authorities to conduct investigations and arrest suspects. Regardless of the nationality of its leader, it can't realistically investigate British suspects if the British won't co-operate, and there's no prospect of them doing that here.

Furthermore, all large countries, like Britain, France and Germany, engage in this kind of espionage against "friendly" countries, and none of them want an agency like Europol getting involved, because then they would reduce their co-operation with it, and that would harm the fight against organised crime and terrorism.

Basically, when it comes to a supranational organisation like Europol, real separation of powers is impossible, because there's always a political calculus involved in a collaboration between sovereign countries with occasionally competing interests.
This was a wonderful post, thanks for the honesty and detail, emacsen.

What I'd like to see as far as a technical overhaul, is reimagining the entire thing as a 3D dataset. Needing to model a paper map is no longer the goal, modeling space in 3 dimentions seems to be the more exciting/useful way forward.

I'd like to have a model of my town in 3D, either at mostly manual low-poly resolution (aka minecraft) thats done by hand, or (though much more data intensive) with point cloud/lidar data.

Web pages can receive the 3d data and render a 2d model, or the server can project 3d onto 2d tiles before delivery.

This has got to be exhausting for someone going through this and appreciate the ideas for others who can reduce trolling and harassment.

I sometimes wonder about ways to measure something subjective like attractiveness is an objective enough way that it could be used on dating sites (eg, only dating 6+).

In the olden days you could put a photo up on hotornot and get a rating after a few days. But it’s down because of abuse and general jerkiness.

If you try to have a nice version, people will bias and signal higher scores.

But maybe you could measure troll behavior on bots like this to determine some level of physical, superficial attractiveness. Then you could use those scores for a variety of purposes.

>> It seems like HR and "diversity officers" have effectively become the "political officers" of the 21st century left of collectivist grievance politics.

That's contradicted by the reported behaviour of HR in cases of sexual harassment of women engineers by their male colleagues, as for example in the case of Susan Fowler, the Uber engineer who left the company because of harassment and a discriminatory culture. I quote from the relevant post on her website:

When I reported the situation, I was told by both HR and upper management that even though this was clearly sexual harassment and he was propositioning me, it was this man's first offense, and that they wouldn't feel comfortable giving him anything other than a warning and a stern talking-to.

One HR rep even explicitly told me that it wouldn't be retaliation if I received a negative review later because I had been "given an option".

The HR rep began the meeting by asking me if I had noticed that I was the common theme in all of the reports I had been making, and that if I had ever considered that I might be the problem.

Less than a week after this absurd meeting, my manager scheduled a 1:1 with me, and told me we needed to have a difficult conversation. He told me I was on very thin ice for reporting his manager to HR. California is an at-will employment state, he said, which means we can fire you if you ever do this again.

etc etc.

and social security are basic necessities and it's insane that the US doesn't have them.

But that's not freedom, that's socialism. It's like saying that US citizens are not free to travel because airplane tickets are expensive.

Freedom means that you get a choice, even if that choice is going to screw yourself later in life - for instance not buying health insurance.
All those things you mention are paid by your taxes - someone is literally taking money away from you to pay for something you might not need - thats hardly freedom.

In this sense the US is the freest country to live in, though not necessarily the best one.

So Checkbot gives you a simple way to check 1,000s of pages for issues in a couple of clicks (e.g. broken links, HTML/JS/CSS validation errors, mixed content issues) as well as identify problems you'd only find by testing groups of page (e.g. duplicate titles/descriptions/pages/resources). If you think you've fixed a problem, you can quickly recrawl a page or the whole site to confirm your fix worked. That's the workflow that Checkbot is geared to support.

Thanks for giving Checkbot a try! Let me know how you get on with your blog as I'm keen to get suggestions on what can be improved.

...criminals? See https://www.bjs.gov/index.cfm?ty=pbdetail&iid=5869, quoting from the summary:

"More than half (53%) of state prisoners were serving sentences for violent offenses in 2014 (the most recent year for which offense data are available), compared to 19% for property offenses and less than 16% for drug crimes."

Also to parent's point:

"Almost 7% of state prisoners (91,300 inmates) and 18% of federal prisoners (34,900) were held in private prison facilities in 2015"

The evil corporate private prisons trapping the poor pot smokers to extract money from them is a nice fairy tale. The reality is more complicated and forces us to grapple with the fact that there are some pretty bad people out there, and we're apparently OK with treating them inhumanely when we seek retribution.

Open fuel cells storage can be much cheaper than battery based storage. You can store energy for a long period, paying by the maximum power, not storage capacity.

That said, molten salt cells look way more promising than hydrogen.
Some lawyers think the language used in the MIT license implies a patent grant limited to the use of the licensed software. They think it would be difficult for the licensor to give a license on the software from one hand, and claim a patent infringement on the same software from the other hand, but as far as I know, this was never tested in court.

> There's a case history in the Advice Memo. They didn't make this up just for Google.

There is indeed a case history, and it is very informative with regards to, as you put it, the Board's deference to employers. The Advice memo states "Where an employee's conduct significantly disrupts work processes, creates a hostile work environment, or constitutes racial or sexual discrimination or harassment, the Board has found it unprotected even if it involves concerted activities regarding working conditions. For example, in /Avondale Industries/, the Board held that the employer lawfully discharged a union activist for insubordination based on her unfounded assertion that her foreman was a Klansman; the employer was justifiably concerned about the disruption her remark would cause in the workplace among her fellow African-American employees."

Said case acknowledges that "Foreman Toledo has numerous tattoos on his body, including a swastika on his forearm"! Nonetheless, the Board found in that case that it was the employee's remark that would cause disruption in the workplace, apparently because she accused her foreman of being a Klansman (which she claims he told a group of employees) instead of a Nazi.

Actually, it flags Damore's interpretation of science as squishy and ideological. Which, let's be fair, it totally is, because he's no scientist and he has a very limited understanding of the sources he quotes in support of his views.

Scientific debate doesn't take place in Google forums through Google memos, any more than it happens in HN comments, so what was Damore's point of providing references to back his position, other than a misguided attempt to appear "scientifick"?

I think right now the easy money is all in ICO's. Talented developers have much more incentive to just create a new coin than develop a dAPP on Ethereum. Eventually, this ICO craze should slow down, and it will make more financial sense to develop on top of existing coins.
Marklogic.... sort of.
seconded. the jq language is surprisingly powerful and at first glance at jmespath, the syntax is similar.
The new tokens are completely independent of other tokens. Buying at ICO, you’re acquiring tokens that you hope will have value once the system is up and running.

I’m sure you could do that somehow, but I don’t believe anyone has done it.

I'm not actually going to read the CBO report, but this article has a bad taste; it looks like political problems being mis-interpreted by the reporter as technical revelation.

If long-term impacts on the health system are considered, long-term tax & other productivity related payments need to be considered also. If this is net-negative, then that indicates a problem with the tax system (or possibly the healthcare system is to generous in the long term).

That is intensely political ground to say the least. Surely the issues with preventative care are closely linked to the solvency issue.
