Ah! That's fair - but I think the spirit of Godwin's law is that comparisons to Hitler in particular, when the subject matter is more general than Hitler, yield unnecessarily hyperbolic responses (that - among other things - are bad at actually addressing the causes that led to the rise of Hitler and therefore weaken the goal of making sure that such a thing never again happens).

We should make sure that an AI, who is probably making decisions on things like legal documents / public records and not just the middle name someone goes by, will not consider it a negative that someone is named "Adolf" if they aren't Adolf Hitler specifically. And we should for the same reason make sure that an AI will not consider it a negative that someone is named "Bob" if it has a newly-acquired specific negative impression of some other person named Bob. There isn't a difference in the cases.

"Hitler" shouldn't be a special case because the rise of Hitler wasn't as much of a one-time event as we'd like to believe. When the next genocidal dictator with a somewhat rare first name gains control of a country, there will be people from the victim population who share that first name, and they should not suffer the same indignity at the hands of an AI, either. And on the flip side, when this genocidal dictator rises to power, the AI shouldn't be taught that Hitler was the only evil man who ever lived or will live; if it has the data to conclude that some actual individual (not a name) is as bad as Hitler, it should be able to conclude that.

Why did ICANN require "thick" whois data from registrars?

Ms. Jelinek's letter suggests that collecting this user data , possibly for the benefit of various "stakeholders", was outside the scope of ICANN's charter.

Why was it a requirement for ICANN-approved registrars to collect and share this user data? What was the rationale?
This is not so much a Lisp problem as an SBCL problem. SBCL just doesn't have a very good garbage collector. I nearly gave up on Lisp fighting with it, but ultimately switched to Clozure instead, and never regretted it: Clozure has a fantastic garbage collector. I run Clozure and Postgres side by side on one 4G Linode without a peep.
Yes, I've heard about it but never seen it. The book is just fantastic, anyone should read it to understand what's become of Italy.

Visualizing Convolutional Nets for NLU Tasks
Why would that be helpful? The problem is obvious because of the complexity of the variables and problems measuring them. There might be some problem studies cited in the link below:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis

The point is that some research is weaker than others, and the reasons why haven't changed since WW2, so if it's a problem now, then it was a problem then.
If we can successfully JIT it we normally do very well. The caveat is that we do have warm up time and if we can’t compile stuff then you won’t see the same level of performance.
I just don’t agree with this from any perspective.

First, the impact is minimal. React or a similar framework is not that big. In fact, React + ReactDOM is roughly the same code size as jQuery - 100k vs 85k minified.

Second, your custom DOM manipulation code is probably going to be a bit less optimised than a widely used library.

Third, you are overstating the difficulty. I would expect any competent front-end engineer to be able to pick up whichever of these frameworks is required. The different skills are a matter of a little on boarding and studying. Of course, there are many unskilled JS developers out there, but I don’t think that’s an excuse.

First of all I think you both have a point.

As @sevensor rightly pointed out my approach with the arabica boilerplate is relying heavily on other software meaning on

a. Markdown
b. LaTeX (TeX Live) and BibLaTeX and on KOMA-Script
c. pandoc
d. YAML

I think it is fair to say that a technology stack like that leads to quite a bit of tech debt. But in light of other approaches we are better of using stacks like this.
In connection to this: maintenance of the pandoc latex template in particular is not easy at all, as @sevensor pointed out correctly. My current approach is to avoid most of the standard variables and to merge changes to the official template.latex back into arabica.

As @megustavulva pointed out the arabica project is currently in early stage and to date is no more than a proof of concept. It explores the technology stack needed to deliver a solid workflow for collaborative academic writing.

Which brings me to a more general point I want to stress in this context because it is the motivation behind arabica. In my opinion there is a twofold problem with the academic writing and publication process. There are others but I do think those are among the biggest issues.

1. Academics utter tech confusion (one aspect of a long story)
There is a massive confusion if it comes to the usage of current publication and communication technologies aka (just to make my point) sending thousand of e-mails back and forth between colleagues, reviewers and publishers forgetting to attach the MS-Word documents with twisted filenames like „List of participants 1. April _John_version2_corrected2018-01-01.docx“ realising that the publishers actually do want submissions to be in .doc or .tex file format. …
Markdown as a base language seems to be a solid approach to me. Markdown lies right at the sweet spot between expressiveness and simplicity.

2. Academics broken publication policies (one aspect of a long story)
There is a fundamentally broken publication practice. Publishers pocket money by charging essentially everyone: researchers, research financier, purchaser and society. This impertinence gets exceeded only by the willingness of researchers, research financier, purchasers and society to buy into their fake story that the publishers have to raise insane amounts because they have ensure the scientific quality. …
Publishing using pandoc and especially templating with pandoc can potentially cancel out many of the (fake) interim steps made by many publishers.

Publication methods enabled by packages like arabica will not solve those fundamental issues in academic communication and publication processes but they can help to find ways to publish more democratically, scientifically in a more collaborative and consistent manner.

Yes definitively but if Waymo is a decade away then how far away from truly self driving cars is Tesla? 15 years? 20 years?

Tesla claims that LIDAR isn't neccessary but yet they constantly hit barriers and stopped trucks. If they can't even get the basics right how can Musk be sure that his strategy is the right one?
But, you're going from maybe 10k * X requests a day, to several million. Any system is vulnerable in that kind of very aggressive scaling situation - see every single game launch with a multiplayer component since the dawn of time.

Obviously you can scale systems ahead of time if you know, but you still run into issues because you probably haven't scaled the entire system and don't know the likely bottlenecks since it's hard to generate that kind of traffic in a QA environment.

Think of the scale of facebook, and then realize most of their payloads are <1k json/protobuf. It's not the size of the payload, it's the delta in quantity.

The prices of BTC, Ether and XRP have hardly budged today. I find this surprising. Worth watching market prices, especially futures activity around BTC as the story develops. It will take time for the screws to be tightened by AG Schneiderman's team. Note that the questionnaire also focuses on who the major investors / board members are of the exchanges that are the target of this inquiry.

> The forms already allow you to have a different tax year, though few people make use of that (I have no idea what qualifies people to have a different fiscal year, it might just be for companies, I don't know)

It's mostly for businesses (which includes individual tax payers as sole proprietorships), and the things looked to for non-automatic approvals are things like what your actual cycle of business is like. (For individual tax payers, the only automatically allowed changes are, IIRC, change back to a calendar year as tax yesr and changes to align with a spouses tax year with certain conditions.)
Absolutely.

Which is why we need to get rid of that power in the first place.

Maybe this is too much of a meta question, but why was this downvoted so heavily?

> to compile down to C.

This HN submission's referenced article ("Running Lisp in Production" (2015)) is about SBCL which compiles down to native code.

There are CL implementations that compile to C, if you think that is better for some reason.

For instance, derivatives of Kyoto Common Lisp, such as GNU Common Lisp.

Or ECL:

https://common-lisp.net/project/ecl/static/manual/ch34s02.ht... "The other type of compilation is the so-called "native" compilation. This process consists on translating the lisp source file to C language. The intermediate file is later compiled using a C compiler."

How does your decentralized lookup avoid leaking friend requests out into the open?

On your website it also sais you use WebRTC for P2P communication. Am I correct in my assumption then that the STUN/TURN/ICE server at least knows who started talking to whom and when?

I have been in a few minor emergencies and the most striking thing is feeling this absolute calm. It almost feels like a robot with a focus on survival is taking over.
I was very interested in Parrot VM for a while too for the same reasons. I always liked the idea of language interoperability and being able to use the best libraries of each language. This brings me to a question I have had for a while, why do we even have so many language specific libraries for common tasks instead of more "universal" libraries with bindings for each. Of course these exist, but I feel like this should be almost the default, and language libraries would just be wrappers to help it integrate better with the language (like making it more pythonic for python etc). That way you would have at most a few competing libraries for each task with higher quality. Also it would be easier to bootstrap new programming languages since that is a big initial barrier (having few libraries).

From my experience if you're using any number of JS frameworks, this is almost impossible. If you're building a static site, you're better off just writing flat HTML or using a well known framework like Bootstrap or Foundation.

The captain acted decisively and communicated clearly. I teach firefighters and paramedics how to communicate on the radio. You always want an inverse relationship between the stress level of the situation and the intensity level of your radio transmission.

But at least in Germany (and perhaps other EU countries?) website owners are required to provide contact details on the website. That's not exactly the same as domains and WHOIS, but it is similar enough to show that the German state (rightly perhaps) doesn't actually care about this sort of privacy.
> This meant hospitals and other public services went underfunded.

I don't buy it.

At the wage these folks would make if on the books (ie, minimum wage) they'd pay no or almost no taxes.

So we're only talking about lost payroll taxes. Yes, the part of that that goes to public services is lost, but the people on whose behalf they are paid are also not using public services to a large degree.

I'm sure it's not exactly a wash, but for the most part public services are paid for by high wage earners.

I have to agree. I noticed with more recent philosophy works (including some on this list) it could feel like the philosophers were more interested in arguing with one another than educating the reader.

I also think this is part of the reason why philosophers like John Dewey aren't as well regarded as they should be and/or used to be.
Looking back I can't understand how I coded in notepad for several years until I finally had enough and asked around for a better editor. Back then it didn't even have "goto line". So I often counted the lines, and write comments like "this is line 500".

That last sentence could not be less true. To give just a few counterexamples:

Postmodernism is represented on the analytic side, too, e.g., Feyerabend: Against Method (unfortunately not on the list).

The late Wittgenstein (#1 on the list) can not be clearly labeled analytic or continental.

As final example, reading Foucaults (#12) insights about power structures in society and how they shape our view of reality, and considering that mumbo-jumbo, seems pretty unphilosophical to me.

Corporations may be groups of people but they don't get treated like people

They don't have to be. All we have to do is hold individuals accountable for their actions. If a person in a corporation orders violent suppression of a labour dispute, then they are personally accountable. A corporation is a legal fiction. It can't be held accountable because it doesn't do anything, the people who run it do.

>By that definition, every conceivable grouping of human beings that has any sort of leadership has a government, but that definition is so broad as to be useless.

Well, that is in accordance with the dictionary definition.

The bigger and more powerful the grouping becomes, the more practical the definition becomes. Which is why it could be a useful designation for an entity with psychological control over 2,000,000,000+ people, but not so much for a football league with ~100 people (though technically it still can be called a governing body).

Active science learning is better than lectures, Nobel laureate Carl Wieman says
You can hold a different position from someone else without insulting them as brainwashed. Further, this talking point is disingenuous because it glosses over the fact that people who downloaded the Obama app knew they were downloading an app in support of their preferred political candidate while CA deliberately hid their political associations which might have had an impact on who chose to download the app. Additionally, unlike CA's app, Obama's app did not scrape private conversation messages which is a gigantic breach of trust relative to scraping friends lists (which is still a scummy thing to do even when the app is explicitly up front regarding its political motivations)
Yes, and you're right about that.

It is stupid and unfair to judge somebody based on one thing they said when they were young.
This project is remarkable! Really excited to see where it goes. The biggest problem I see so far is sparse docs on interop. I see docs with a trivial example of importing simple types from java and using them in node, which is amazing! However, this is pretty far from a real world example. In the real world there are deep type graphs and dependencies and functions that look like IWidgetInterface createWidget(IAbstractWidgetFactory<CoolWidget> factory) etc... seeing examples of dealing with complex types, anonymous Callables, generics, etc... would be great.

This guy has a background in computer science, but taught himself biology to spearhead the regenerative medicine movement. If I'm not mistaken, he published a book in biology with no formal credentials (16 years after receiving his BA in computer science), after which Cambridge honored him with a PhD in the subject.

He's also Thiel backed.
Please leave the personal comments out. Thanks.
Absolutely! I would have been less suspicious in this case were it not for their banning of debit card/Interac use as well.

Many other Canadian banks banned the purchases on credit cards alone—not preventing anyone from using Interac Online or Visa Debit, etc.
