In a capitalist system (that is not collapsing), income inequality will always trend upwards, high interest rates won't stop it. However, low interest rates accelerate the increase in inequality.

Income inequality has expanded at an unprecedented pace in the past 10 years, during which, global interest rates have been the lowest they've ever been.
It worked against Digg, but only because a reasonably well-known, functional equivalent existed that people could use instead.

I know a few people doing this, one person in particular who has discovered a near-zero-risk quirk that can be exploited with algorithms for fractional %age gain per transaction/cycle/(kind of being vague here sorry). He's been able to deploy large $MM amounts of capital to create significant gain nonetheless.

However none of them will talk about it, certainly not on HN. I'm mentioning it simply to highlight I think you'll find an anti-selection bias by asking here.

It's well written, so thanks for that. I have a client project coming down the pipe that will likely include redux, so I'll have to check out Redux-ORM.

I agree that the term boilerplate has been diluted lately. I also have to admit that I use it in this instance because it seems to have become the adopted term for what essentially means "takes a lot of code no matter the complexity". So to clarify, when working with Redux, it _feels_ like it takes a lot of code to handle data in states, no matter the complexity.

More likely, redux is intended for larger projects with complex state management. So yeah, there is a lot of code to setup even basic data within a state, but the benefits probably start paying dividends as the state becomes more complex. With that said, I doubt anyone working with extremely complex states is complaining about too much "boilerplate".

I was considering contributing to Redux but when I checked github it didn't seem like there was too much that needed help. Let me know if that's not the case. I love the project and would enjoy contributing.

Thanks again for your hard work!
It seems mostly motivated by nationalism... As a practical matter I can't see this preventing Russian "insurgency," especially when almost everyone in the country speaks Russian and a quarter of them do not speak Kazakh.
Your attitude is a tempting one, but it is socially harmful in the long run. The issue is that women are actually doing more social harm than good by isolating themselves.

The more that women work side by side with men on equal footing in the workplace, establishing this as a social norm, over time the less frequently sexism will manifest itself.

Consider racial integration of baseball in America. Jackie Robinson faced terrible racism as the first black man to play MLB baseball. However this did not dissuade him from playing in what had traditionally been a white man's league. He welcomed the opportunity to be a pioneer in the face of abuse and in doing so he paved the way for other black men to join the league.

Racism has significantly receded in MLB, in large part because of pioneers like Jackie Robinson.

If Jackie Robinson had thought like you and the women who want to sequester themselves, then the progress of racial integration may have been impacted.
Well, it's already 10 years down the line with blockchain technology. Still waiting.

And, despite your silly claims of jealousy, the real reason blockchain technology now receives such scorn is precisely because for years after its inception it received absurd hype. What you're seeing now is the backlash against the utopian, almost religious praise of the technology when it first came out.

It's precisely because it's been 10 years and the reality hasn't nearly matched the early hype that people have cooled on the technology, and now want solid results instead of more empty talk. It's long past the point where telling everyone big things are coming is enough, it's time to show those big things.
It was stupid. They gave me a project to do and during the onsite I had to walk through the code in the project. I thought I was pretty thorough given the time constraint. I figured it was just a bad personality-fit and they had to make up something so they said "not a good code story teller".
current thruput says nothing except that the network can handle at least that much. Max thruput is a much more interesting comparison
My "hate" for cryptos is not because it is a different way to solve a problem. It is because cryptos are trying to disrupt financial industry by adding technology to medieval monetary policies that we have long history showing that they are bad policies.

It's the most visibly used language. But the world runs on a ton of code that isn't the web.
Matt Levine wrote in his column today, also on Bloomberg:

`“at issue is whether Zhao’s talks with IDG Capital violated his exclusivity agreements with Sequoia.” I have to say, even if they did, it’s hard to blame him: If you strike a deal to sell some of your crypto exchange at an $80 million valuation, you can’t really wait around for months to finalize it. Crypto valuations seem like they’d be good for a day or two, tops.'

> On the luxury end of the spectrum, cars like the Rolls Royce came equipped with elaborate, monogrammed picnic baskets complete with silver utensils.

They may not have it listed as an option, but I would think that Rolls Royce could produce one for your new Phantom.

Edit: I have placed a call to the local dealer and hopefully they'll let me know if you can still get one.

Reply from Rolls Royce - they offer the champagne flutes and refrigerator as a standard option for the rear seat, but a picnic basket would be available through their bespoke program, where they'd create one just for you. (I didn't bother asking the price!)
I'm sure that there are many titles in English for international tourists. I can't tell for entire country, but in Astana (capital) almost every title contains English translation (or transliteration) and I think that it's better approach. May be English tourists who visited Kazakhstan will correct me.
Yes I think that's what I mean. We have a $5k individual deductible. After a deductible is met, we pay 20% coinsurance. Before the deductible we pay 100%.

Making up some numbers, my wife had already spent $3k on the OB-GYN which counts toward the deductible. The hospital billed us $7500. So $2k we pay to finish meeting the deductible and then 20% of the remaining $5500 is $1500, so our portion of the hospital bill is $3500.

If the insurance company knew we'd get a discount on our portion of the final bill, that calculation for how much of the bill we'd only have to pay 20% of would be different.
Is the use of the word "homophone" some in-joke that I'm not aware of?
>They also did a lot more than follow birds, they relied on keen observation of the ocean (interference patterns in the swells caused by an unseen island), the colour of the clouds (clouds are darker underneath when there is land beneath them) and relied on a sophisticated 'star compass' for latitude navigation.

Yes, the National Geographic article / series I mentioned nearby in this thread:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16922701

says those sorts of things. So does the Morris West book, IIRC (some of them). In fact, some of the photos in the NG article show a device that may be the same as the "star compass" you mention.
No. I do not want to live somewhere where I cannot find another job if I am fired or decide I want to quit the one I have.
It’s less “meeting in the middle” and more “agreeing not to bring any of that stuff up in public because we both have better things to do than have the same tired argument again”. At a certain point you have to put ideals aside and meet other people as human beings. Sure, you disagree on things, but if you want progress you’ve gotta start looking for the things that make us alike. If you want to understand the differences, there’s a time and a place for that, but it’s not in the day-to-day. Go to a seminar or read a book for that.

I do think the real prejudice — incapable of seeing other races / religions / sexualities as equals — is getting pushed to the fringes. Basically, if you’re truly prejudiced, the above “gentleman’s agreement” is broken. When that happens, you’re no longer seen as a gentleman but as a savage. See also the public reaction to the neo nazis in Charlottesville (confirmation bias attribution errors notwithstanding)
I agree.

The better narrative would be to say:

"This is who I used to be, there were many people like me at the time, but my views have evolved and I've become close friends with many of the people that my words hurt. I'm sorry and I work every day to make up for these mistakes."

Actions speak louder than words.
As someone whose work includes hardware driver programming, I'd rather not give up goto. It would make a lot of error handling extremely cumbersome, and much less readable. :(

However, I find "go" and "goto" to not intersect at all. I've written this many times in other comments on this thread, so I'd rather not type it out again, but the TL;DR: is that "goto" can make understanding a function when read difficult, while "go" is clear when read. No function is understood if never read, and spawning "background tasks" is a core part of asynchronous programming (and thus not an unusual side-effect).

The "nursery pattern" is a decent construct that I have used quite often whenever I felt a need, but it doesn't appear to really solve any issues mentioned in the post. I also elaborated on this quite a few times already, so TL;DR: the only real problem of goroutines is things like references to potentially closed objects, but any method may end up storing an internal reference used at a later call, making the issue not related to concurrency.
IIRC, a big blocker to adopting ReasonML for a lot of people is its current lack of async / await support: https://github.com/facebook/reason/issues/1321

Someone who speaks a language written in a latin script can approximately pronounce Hungarian words by sight, even if they mispronounce digraphs and ignore diacritics. Familiarity with the script alone will aid one-way verbal communication between a tourist and a Hungarian-speaker. A tourist who can sound out "Keleti" or "Nyugati" (instead of the hypothetical cyrillic "Kэлэти" and "Нюгати") will be guided to the respective railway station, and even a relatively intimidating word like "Határátkelő", when mispronounced Ha-tar-at-ke-lo" will be understood as a border crossing. This is the same reason the Moscow Metro includes latin-transcribed station names on the official map [1].

Going the other direction, Hungarians can learn many European languages easier than Russian, because the script is the same, which makes orthography and pronunciation easier to reason about, and vocabulary easier to acquire.

Good point, I put that first because that's going to be the biggest question in people's mind so I wanted to answer it up-front and move on to what I can offer them.
I expect that this change will make almost no difference, if not no difference at all, in that respect, while imposing significant costs in other ways.
The terms are quite interesting, but the key part there is "To the extent permitted by applicable law". In EU (and UK, where Revolut is based) consumer rights in general and also for financial services are mainly set in law (which is being pushed in consumers favor with various acts e.g. the payment services directives). The terms of all financial institutions pretty much reflect the minimum required by law, so the actual terms are essentially the same for everyone - if they're worse than the law, then they're null and void; and if they're better than the law... well, that doesn't happen.
> By the time you're making decisions like buying a house or having children you cannot treat the relationship that informally anyway.

You can still treat it less formally than if it'd be an actual formalized relationship.

A lot of this boils down to societal expectations and norms which are not set in stone, but rather constantly evolving. The nuclear family, with their own house and dog, used to be ideal but at this point, it's a pretty outdated ideal that doesn't work with current economics, thus alternatives might be more viable.

I'm also not convinced that adding more people to a relationship inevitably will make it more difficult no matter what. People are way too individual for that to universally hold true and there's plenty of historical and modern examples of non-monogamous relationships as counter-examples.

> If there's nothing but religious stigma at work, why aren't the Mormons still polygamists? (there are exceptions but I think we can round them off for the purposes of this discussion

Because afaik there are still US states with laws banning polygamy?
These are societal norms in large parts formed based on religious dogma, they ain't some "natural law" that can't be broken or changed, just like the nuclear family ain't necessarily the ultimate smallest societal unit.
the quoted is one scenario if the similarity to words applies (this doesn't always apply in Spanish or French either).

But to your example, I'd feel more comfortable fumbling around looking in a English to Turkish book looking for D followed by i without dot (I'm sure it has a better name than that, but furthering the point where vaguely similar glyphs help), followed by s with a protruding curl at bottom (see previous parentheses), etc.

take "Лекарь (doctor), not Пекарь (baker)" from a comment lower in the page, I can't say for certain that I would have known the first two characters in each of the two words were different with maybe it being an analog to capitalization, cursive, italics or some other modification of an individual character.
If all the money is going to the studios anyways, why are theaters charging so much for tickets? They should naturally be charging just enough to satisfy studios, and high prices on food/drink.

But now I'm paying $15 just to get into the damn building, let alone anything else. Where the hell did dollar theaters go?
If you are going to pick just one, English is a pretty good choice, because there are few places you can go where absolutely nobody speaks it.
I'd like to echo what diminoten said - this was a passing interest for me at best. I didn't even bother to click your portfolio link. Then I read diminoten's comment and went back to check out your portfolio. I did a 180-degree change of mind.

I wonder if you should highlight your portfolio on your ReformedFelonForHire site more. Taking the anonymity out of it and displaying your skills definitely made me reconsider.

Good luck.
"homophone" - each of two or more words having the same pronunciation but different meanings, origins, or spelling, e.g., new and knew.

At least according to Github: https://octoverse.github.com/ - it's in its own class compared to the others: 2.3m to the next most popular (1m, python)
Rather than trying to building practical pattern recognition systems using computers we can use animal brains, i.e. not models for brains, like the bee brain model http://greenbrain.group.shef.ac.uk/, but actual brains hooked up to circuitry. Or, if the whole brain is impractical, just relevant parts, e.g. the visual cortex for visual analysis. Using higher-level animals like a pig may be gross, ethically speaking but how about others, e.g. mice. Think about a visual processing unit using 1,000 mice brains harvested from embryos.

I think the bottleneck here is to keep brains/tissues alive, so this research is interesting.
> However, blockchain enables digital scarcity.

Eh? Scarcity? Ever looked at all the forks of bitcoin?

Blockchain absolutely does not enable scarcity. This has been proven time and time again...
If you compare to Europe, most economic factors are similar. There are significantly more ads on television, billboards, even benches, but if anything, that would mean more surface to compete with Facebook. Small and medium companies are more likely to advertise, too -- but again, that doesn’t explain how large the difference is. There is more inequality which means more disposable income overall but not an order of magnitude more.

I have not looked at it when I worked for Facebook, so this is pure speculation, but I would suspect that this is due to saturation and data quality:

- ads are auctioned off at the equivalent of a second price meaning, an ad buyer pays enough to compensate for the second best offer (compensating for expected conversion); if you look at the revenue as a function of ratio of ads to customers, that means that there is a discontinuity when (targeted) ads become more common than available slots: they bid against each other and not against poorly targeted ads, raising the second price;

- ad targeting: there are more specific targeting options in the US; I was very taken aback to see ethic background was one (at the request of minority advocacy groups, actually); I suspect that gender orientation is; a third party was also offering income-level (an option now discontinued after the CA scandal); there are more. Better targeting allows far more valuable ads, but higher value per clic but also a higher conversion, which means a higher auction level (bid * estimated conversion).

Small committee running for a year and dying under Stalins boot is hardly an attempt, especially in the face of previous 100 years of intense Russification.
I don't understand how people think their there is some "essence" that is somehow disconnected from their body. Everything about your experience, selfawarenes, emotions, etc. is connected to your body. A simple physical interaction can change your mood and behavior instantly. Like getting hit or sexualy aroused, your personality can be permanently changed by hormonal changes, your mental performance is influenced by your physical fitness. Your selfimage and behavior is based heavily on your appearance (eg. one thing known to increase long term happiness is improving your attractiveness).

Even if you could run your brain without your body the result would nothing like the person you are now - some traits would be preserved for sure - but imo calling that essence ignores how much subconscious/physical are a part of your personality.
I don't think Canada is a great example, since the vast majority of native French speakers are located in only one region. There is a stronger case for English Spanish bilingualism in the US than French English in Canada.

With Kazakhstan, I can totally see the case for equal status of Russian.
Saying Medicare can't negotiate drug prices is an over simplification.

For physician administered drugs, the gov't has said "we will pay an average of what everyone else pays". No negotiation, just defacto proclamation of what Medicare will pay.

For prescription drugs, Medicare pushes negotiation to private insurers who actually provide the coverage. They do negotiate with drug companies, often getting very steep discounts. Also, Medicare has said to drug companies "once a patient hit the donut hole, you need to give a 50% discount". Again, no negotiation, just a "if you want to do business with Medicare, deal with it".

So yes, they don't negotiate drug prices, they just tell the drug companies what they are willing to pay.
This is intuitive, but turns out to be false.

That is, for any one particular patient who's found to have a disease down the road - say, cancer - it would have been cheaper for him if that problem had been found very early, so for his individual case the checkups and tests would have been a big savings.

But when you account for all the people that do not turn out to have the problem at all, and the cost of checkups and tests, and then especially the costs of the followups due to false positives that are a risk in every test, the overall cost of test and prevention is actually worse.
What's the need for a high transaction rate? "10,000 TPS". Right. Nobody uses cryptocurrencies for small transactions any more. It's just a speculative investment.

Bitcoin being stuck at 7 TPS is embarrassing, but if they could get up to a few hundred TPS, that would probably be adequate.
Nalgene bottles are also nigh-on indestructible. I don't know if they still do, but at one point they had an "if you can break it, we'll replace it"-level warranty). Having the layered shape would compromise the structure you get from the regular cylinder.
