Agreed! I taught myself programming, and Haskell was my second language. I was at Penn so I emailed Brent out of the blue, and he responded and was so helpful with understanding helping me understand Monoids, not at all judgmental, and so different from all the educational experience I had up until then. And it was serious gateway drug to mathmatics. Funny thing is a few years later I TAed an advanced Haskell class with Stephanie Weirich (https://www.seas.upenn.edu/~cis552/current/index.html), who was Brent's thesis advisor. All started with Brent!
Sure, but how does that in any way make calorie counting less effective? It's an upper bound. Sure, you could maybe eat a little more protein than you would otherwise budget for, but if you are aiming to lose weight, overestimating the count of an item a little isn't going to hurt.
Sure but eating cake is much less likely to make you sick than drinking vegetable oil
Eh, if we're being precise:

dextrose, maltodextrin, pretty much anything that's -ose or dex-, corn starch, corn syrup, added sugar, wheat, rye, barley, oats, corn, legumes, dairy.

I cut all of those and ended up losing weight without exercising. YMMV.

A decent rule of thumb is that if a 5yo can pronounce all the ingredients, it's probably ok.
Not down any more.
This is the point I made below, whole foods are superior to calorie counts

No one eats a grass-fed steak and goes into a downward spiral.

Tons of people spiral out of control if they consume even small amounts of junk food.

WHAT you eat matters more than HOW MUCH you eat long term.

Calories matter, but different foods affect your body differently!
Restaurants being required to show calories may change menus in a way that cannot help but have an effect for everybody. It incentivizes having lower calorie options, disincentives healthy sounding but not really items like some salads and disincentives really over the top items.

Even if that doesn't pan out, it certainly makes life easier for the millions who do count calories.
I love HN for all these random connections, even if I have no skin in the game!
I think most readers assume these essays are meant to persuade. I have seen them advanced as "arguments", and RMS seems to act like he expects people to be persuaded by them. What makes you think these are closer to performance art?
This makes me wonder about a friend of mine who started taking seroquil....since starting this his awareness of both space and time seem to be nothing. He doesn't notice things around him anymore, can't navigate through a city he lived.in for years anymore, doesn't ever know what time of day it is and his perception of the flow of events seems wrong. He doesn't remember things happening in the correct order any more, his memory of how long things take is off now and seems to now lack a sense of how long ago different things are. He talks about stuff from 5 or 10 years ago like it was yesterday and recent things he talks about like a distant memory or just doesn't remember.
Nah, I’ve waned to use fail2ban multiple times and failed.

Except that perhaps RMS's approval and veto are no longer legitimate?

It's not ascribing ill will at all. They've stumbled on a canary or a "brown M&M," where regardless of how good they think they are, they've transgressed a boundary of the implicit agreement of who has final say.

They would have to be good and faithful to have contributions approved to glibc, so I would argue that's not the point. As the principals age, the question of succession and governance in key open source projects will become more explicit. Seems they walked into this one.
60 years earlier, at the outbreak of WWI, Britain cut all of Germany's undersea cables [0], except one that went through Britain. So the Germans had to use radio or route through Britain, which could be intercepted and decrypted [1, 2]. Less subtle than tapping, but effective.

Indeed. When I first came to the US I lived in Boston and this happens quite frequently inside the I95. It used to drive me crazy, I hated it, I though it was dangerous and uncivilized :-) it didn’t take long for me to understand why it was necessary and to start doing it myself.
Also worth noting that BA got rid of all of their aircraft that had flight engineers relatively close together around that time (Concorde was the last to go).
Ok, thats all good. But is HN giving advice for the 90ths percentile or the 50th?
Nothing has to mean anything ever. You can read my comment as a comment meant to open a conversation with you and persuade you of a particular opinion, or you can read it as a piece of art, in which, whenever a disagreement arises, I can choose the easy way out by telling you "Yes but you see, you're meant to see past the things you don't like or disagree with".

My comment was meant as the former, and so were Stallman's. He has always tried to spread his word out and he seems to genuinely not understand why it doesn't take. Claiming his pieces are more art than work is revisionist at best.
Most recruiters are agency recruiters. They get paid a commission based on your first year's salary - usually around 20% and if you don't stay at company at least 3-6 months depending on the contract they sign with the employer, they don't get paid. They are theoretically interested in getting you the highest salary possible.[1]

Regardless, if you tell them your minimum salary and they know the hiring company won't possibly reach that salary, they won't waste the company's time.

[1] theoretically when someone is paid on a commission based on you getting the highest price, the incentives should be aligned, but studies show that in reality it doesn't work like that (https://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/20/business/yourmoney/why-a-...)

As another former >300lbs man, let me politely suggest that you are completely full of shit. Calories are by far and away the most important metric when losing weight. Controlling food addiction is an issue too, but you're not going to solve it by eating "whole foods".
I don't know about brain development but I think that it tends to encourage narrowmindedess.

When you only have a few options and choosing the wrong one is potentially devastating, you tend to zero in on the safe and sure choice. Iterate on this a million times and you have a person who will tend to stick to the status quo and dismiss other options.
Calories matter more than anything when discussing weight. Nutrition matters when discussing health. You can eat too much of almost anything.

There's certainly something lost here, I won't deny that.

But glibc, and huge other parts of the FOSS ecosystem, has been a corporate project for years. Maintenance comes from stodgy companies like Red Hat who install glibc on the sort of extremely stodgy companies who are Red Hat customers.

And for those of us whose day jobs involve using glibc and reading its documentation, we deserve the benefits of free software as much as everyone else. If it is an ethical imperative (as RMS says!) for all software to be free and for proprietary software to die, it follows that the primary battleground is the servers of soulless, boring corporations. Your hobbyist laptop is important, too, because everyone deserves free software. But if free software weren't around, you would have installed a pirated copy of Windows with a keygen with some hentai as its background image and enjoyed the non-HR-compliance of the process, and Microsoft would have been quite okay with it because you would be locked into their proprietary software.

If free software is an ethical imperative - or even if it's not, but even if open source is simply a better way to develop software - then everyone who wants a job in software engineering and is qualified for it should be able to have a job in writing and maintaining FOSS. Human society has determined that if we want everyone to participate in an activity, things work better if everyone agrees to uphold a few norms. They don't have to be the same norms as boring corporations uphold (and you can quite easily argue that the norms of boring corporations aren't that good, actually, at making sure everyone is welcome to participate on equal terms). But the fact that we open our shared infrastructural work to accountability and public judgment is sort of how civilization works.

Hobbyist projects are still as possible as ever. Twenty years ago, you wouldn't have been able to get inappropriate jokes in the technical documentation for Solaris libc, or into MSDN, or whatever, but you could work on some upstart free software project with your friends and do whatever you want. You can still do that. If you want to be the young, upstart libc with some off-color political jokes that's being an alternative to the boring corporate libc, more power to you. Not everyone will participate, but that's what you want. Meanwhile, the libc whose goal in life was to displace the corporate libcs has won - and needs to step into its role.
> Rent control is a hack, but it's a hack that largely works. It's not nearly as atrocious as the reputation profit hungry landlords have tried to give it

Well I'm not sure what economics degree you have, but a Nobel winning one, says that most economists are in agreement and they disagree with you

https://www.nytimes.com/2000/06/07/opinion/reckonings-a-rent...

> The analysis of rent control is among the best-understood issues in all of economics, and -- among economists, anyway -- one of the least controversial. In 1992 a poll of the American Economic Association found 93 percent of its members agreeing that ''a ceiling on rents reduces the quality and quantity of housing.'

So I guess the balls in your court. What evidence would you put forward to prove most economists wrong about rent control?
I don't think you're arguing against education, but it kind of sounds like you are, which explains the downvotes.

I think your general point is correct though. We should be careful who we let set our curriculums and try to ride a reasonable line between ideology and hard data.

This isn't a situation I have experience with so I can't offer qualified advice. It sounds really difficult and frustrating. My general advice is when you find yourself at odds with someone, remember that the two people who most need compassion in that moment are you and the other person. That just means recognize the suffering you are both going through. Also, recognize the suffering that the other people at the company will go through if things continue along the current path. That's not meant to engender dread or anxiety. It's just a way of cultivating awareness and compassion.
I could get behind keeping the joke in there, if it were actually funny. I object to it on grounds of joke-craftsmanship and economy. It wastes space being insufficiently funny. And by the way, it's not unfunny because it's about abortion; abortion, death, Nazis, murder, child molestation and other taboo topics are precisely the things we should laugh at. (If possible. Obviously don't do it around someone recently traumatized. But laughter is how humans cope and heal, so if you can laugh you know you've got whatever-it-is licked.)

As for Stallman's supposed authority: Anyone who believes in acquiescing to the wishes of a central authority obviously hasn't been listening to Richard Stallman.

Is another way of framing this:

"flat road" => assume you can't continue until you prove it's safe

"obstacle detection" => assume you can continue unless there is something blocking the current path

The bit of autonomous vehicle work that I did started from a set of potential trajectories that were then pruned by obstacle detection. So we always assumed you could continue moving forward unless every potential trajectory was pruned. We ignored the cliff problem as beyond our scope.
Outsider's view:

As a Norwegian, when I visited Boston in 1999 for an Allaire dev conference I saw more grossly fat / obese people in the _hour_ spent switching flights at Newark airport than I had in my (then) home country in the preceding year. I was really taken aback.

There's clearly a lot of things the US is not doing right on many, many levels. This could help chip (sorry) away at that.

SF, and the Bay as a whole, is the northernmost large snow-free area in the country. The weather alone practically guarantees someone will find a reason to live here. If there were other negatives besides high prices, I think the concern over decline could be more well-founded, but there will always be some sort of city by the Bay.
Um, to go back to being NTSB chair, he would have to be re-appointed by the POTUS...

It was 38 mph in a 45.
To be fair, I doubt the police just "popped the SD card out of dashcam"... more likely Uber had managers (and lawyers) at the scene within a short time window and Uber had time for very careful deliberations before handing anything to the NTSB (though as you say it's still more likely the got they raw dashcam footage instead of an altered video)

Here is the more likely order of events:

1. Driver calls supervisor

2. Supervisor redirects call to senior Uber lawyer

3. Uber lawyer says "Don't do anything until we get to the scene. Be polite to police but tell them to wait until our legal team arrives"

4. Legal team at scene, talks with uber CEO (and senior lawyers over phone) then after an hour or so tells NTSB they will hand over footage after engineer arrives and extracts the dashcam footage

5. Engineer hands dashcam footage to lawyers, who then hand it to NTSB
Just another thought on this, as someone slowly trying to work his way through part 1 (and generally very happy with it, thanks for this amazing resource!): videos are great when they're really short. It's tough for working people to find enough unbroken time to watch an hour or two long video, like the ones in fast.ai (as amazing as they are), especially with frequent pauses for note-taking and such.

But it's much easier to handle smaller chunks. This is probably my only critique of/gripe about fast.ai---the videos pack a lot of topics in, and they could be broken at topic boundaries to make them easier to use.
> With a guitar, you can at least still try to correct it by putting your finger down somewhat closer or farther away.

Does not work like that. It isn't a violin.

It is possible to pull notes sharp slightly (but it's done with pressure, not finger placement), but if the note is already sharp, there's nothing you can do.
It's remarkable that pretty much every feasible design has some traction. You might expect it to be winner-take-all.

Is joke in documentation useful? Probably not...
A 10oz jar of creamy peanut butter from the dollar store has ~1700 Calories.
The broader point I’m trying to make is that calorie counting DOES NOT work long term.

It’s exhausting.
It’s monotonous.
It’s inaccurate.
It’s impossible to do unless you’re eating at chain restaurant all the time.

And we are not robots where ONLY calories matter.

In the short term people can willpower themselves to do almost anything.

In the long term WHAT we eat has a bigger affect than HOW MUCH we eat.

Different foods affect our hormones differently.

You can’t eat 1,200 calories of sugar a day and expect to feel satiated from your diet, you will feel starving all the time.

You can eat 1,200 calories of protein/veggies/healthy fat and feel satiated from your diet.

Hormones drive our long-term hunger levels, and foods affect our hormone levels.

People before the 1950s were almost all lean and they had no calorie counts.

People have all the calorie counts they can stand today and most people are overweight in the West.

The difference is people eat WAY more junk food now than they did before the 1950s, it wasn’t even available back then.
While Concorde was efficient at supersonic cruise, it was ridiculously inefficient getting there (and this was one of the main arguments for the proposed Concorde B).

Also note most aircraft capable of supersonic cruise nowadays don't use turbojets, they use low-bypass turbofans (mostly around 0.3:1).
The TexBook was a technical documentation for TeX written by Donald Knuth. The book had a lot of jokes, and I enjoyed reading it.
My problem is unschooling is that just because you’re not interested in something (as a kid) doesn’t mean you shouldn’t learn it.

It’d be nice if traditional school had a better balance where personal interests could be explored in a structured and formally accepted way.

Why were people before the 1950s almost completely unaware of calorie counts but almost all lean?
Yeah, that would be a problem. I'm thinking it could just send the first part of the email address (before the @ sign) or instead just license an encrypted blob to the company which they can run.
One option is seeing is discussing a buy out. If the company is under-funded and on life support, seeing what one can get out of it is might be the best business decision you can make.

Consider:

- write up list of potentially irreconcilable differences that drive you bonkers, keeping list as short as possible

- present list to co-founder, and offer to discuss resolving the list items or one of you buying out the other

- if you can't work something out, be prepared to walk with your equity & cross your fingers for a future payday

P.S. when breaking up, the one with the deeper pockets probably has more leverage.

P.P.S. sorry you are in a tough spot, and I hope you figure something out!

It is relevant, because they are the people who get targeted repeatedly. Again, it's easy to say it shouldn't be the focus when you aren't the person getting harassed repeatedly.

It's fair that they want to know they can feel safe and contribute to a project - being explicit that they are welcome is important to helping these people overcome the adversity they face.

Why is it a problem for you that their issues are voiced? You said before it was a "disproportionate amount of energy being spent", but for the people spending that energy, it's not - it's their work or hobby being messed up time and again, and they are defending it.

Beyond that, the work being done is for anybody - it's not limited to those cases - but you say yourself you don't face these problems. These issues affect some people more - so why is it surprising that the solutions focus on them (but not exclusively)?
To what end?

The USN has, to a material degree, perfected the compact PWR.

Their experience in fuel design, materials, cooling, support systems, control systems, and processes pose an enormous barrier to new systems other than those that could truly radically simplify the reactor system and yield a huge gain in reduced manpower and increased reliability.

I think the best marginal gains are coming and will come from developments in tactical and ISR systems.

I watched all of the 2018 Part 1 videos and it was not my style.

One thing I liked is the positive attitudes of Jeremy and Rachel, but there was not much theory and a lot of time was spent on questions and answers for the participants of the lecture that I don't think necessary.

I wanted to see definitions and "why", but the course spends too much time on "how". Sometimes I see "why" in the lecture, but many times it is just an answer for the question from a random participant and the answers seemed not well prepared, so it makes it hard to deeply understand the content.

I think fast.ai (at least Part 1) may be good after taking other deep learning courses and before participating in the Kaggle competitions that when you are already familiar with the theories.

This is in no way contradicting my point.

A pedestrian may illegally have entered a road, but still have right-of-way, and self driving cars will need to account for that.

However, protesting self driving cars will not change whether walking in the street is legal, since it already is not.

Therefore, whether you do so and get fined by police is entirely up to their discretion, which could change at any time for any reason.

If you want it to be legal, protest the illegality, not the car company.
I can see where you're coming from. It is a hyper-niche product so it's hard to find the right audience. Unfortunately, I can't make it client side because the database to capitalize names and such would be unreasonably large for a user to download. However, it was very fun to build!
