When I saw the first compliant he had, about variable shadowing, I was asking myself: This guy works for Allegro and he doesn't understand shadowing? It's used all the time in Lisp.

Then I realised it's a different Allegro.

Another case where knowing Lisp makes you a better programmer, no matter the language you use.
Having Alan Turing as a role model helped me immensely with internalized homophobia.

When I was younger I honestly thought there weren't many intelligent gay man, and that it was somehow a proof that I was never going to be really good. That was until I discovered Alan Turing was gay, and actively researched about intelligent gay people.

Role models that are like you are so important. One day a friend asked why I got excited when I discovered some guy I admired was gay, and then I realized that he doesn't understand because he has lots of people like him in any area. I know it sounds kind of tribalist in a way, but when society puts you down because you are in a certain group, it's really hard to avoid thinking you are "limited" because of who you are. After seeing lots of people like me, it's less important to me to have these role models since now I know I'm no less of a person because of who I am.

Point is, I don't think most people understand the impact of having role models that are like you, and that's why they don't "get it" when people talk about it.
Still has lots of edge cases, but the documentation and reverse engineering work is far ahead of the Game Boy.

> tokenization helps the users (stockholders)

Back when investors held paper stock certificates, including bearer securities, which de-centralised ownership recording, shares were frequently lost, stolen, damaged and fought over after someone's death, intestacy, bankruptcy et cetera. Returning to tokenized holding would heap costs currently well managed by the system onto end users. (One would also have the problem of irreversible transactions being incompatible with modern law and securities practices.) "Stocks but on blockchain" is a regression for everyone except the hucksters.

Could you not make the argument that a willingness to stay in a "doomed" city is critical for the re-emergence of desirable cities?

Almost every great city in existence has had at least one awful moment at some point in its history. If everyone took the "times are tough, I'm going to migrate to X place which is doing better" approach, then our urban geography would look so much different.

Ultimately, what gets a city out of tough times is its ability to retain the motivated people you mention. By losing those people, it seems that it's just reinforcing a winner-take-all approach to talent demographics.

It does not need to be a DAG, there are newcomers like Cardano, Algorand, DFinity which are no DAGs. Also the last Avalanche work is going in another direction.
Like switching from growing something to not letting it die? Maybe that's not quite articulated right.. but yea, some sort of shift in mentality..
However, their "vision for the future" has often been more along the lines of taking concepts that have been imperfectly implemented by others and then refining them. The iPhone comes closest to representing something fundamentally new and different in the totality of hardware, software, and ecosystem. But most of Apple's success has comes through refinement and execution.

Vehicle electronics packages and AR would seem to be two areas that could benefit from refinement as the underlying technology becomes available.
Isn't it more appropriate to look at Google's actual self-driving initiative partiers, rather than who's using their dashboards?
The point is you pay full price to move; it’s no longer discounted by your marginal tax rate.
The problem is always density. For example, the new 345 class train that will be used on the Crossrail Elizabeth Line in London is as long as 82 Smart fortwos placed back to back, but carries up to 1500 people.

Cars are extremely convenient and comfortable, but an extremely space inefficient way of moving large numbers of people. Even with autonomous vehicles, you still have hard limits on how many vehicles per hour you can physically move through any point.
There are several address scopes available. You don't need to use globally unique addresses, if you don't like. This seems to be very common misunderstanding.

Sure, but I don't think it was available out of the box for Ubuntu until recently (I could be wrong), and I also think Windows 7 invented snap-to-sides (could be wrong on this too).

Linux has always been the OS where you can do just about anything you want with enough research and effort, but it still matters what the most mainstream distro offers out of the box at any given time.
The question is what specific anti-competitive action Google is taking. It would be very strange to decide that, simply because Google's made a really good service everyone prefers to use, they should be forced to pay Yelp for permission to display Yelp's content in their results.
A man posed for months as an ICE agent
I get your sentiment but i would also like to say that people scoffed at jobs holding what looked like an oversized iphone on the stage and that's been a boom for them fwict. the iphone was a product that people dismissed out of hand. the ipod was a product that people dismissed out of hand and it saved apple. hell the apple ii was pretty revolutionary back in the day.
"blockchain"
Of course, but acknowledging that required that the supposedly immutable "laws of physics" be rewritten.
It's frustrated me for the better part of a decade that the misconception persists that "big data" begins after 2U. It's as if we're all still living during the dot-com boom and the only way to scale is buying more "pizza boxes".

Single-server setups larger than 2U but (usually) smaller than 1 rack can give tremendous bang for the buck, no matter if your "bang" is peak throughput or total storage. (And, no, I don't mean spending inordinate amounts on brand-name "SAN" gear).

There's even another category of servers, arguably non-commodity, since one can pay a 2x price premium (but only for the server itself, not the storage), that can quadruple the CPU and RAM capacity, if not I/O throughput of the cheaper version.

I think the ignorance of what hardware capabilities are actually out there ended up driving well-intentioned (usually software) engineers to choose distributed systems solutions, with all their ensuing complexity.

Today, part of the driver is how few underlying hardware choices one has from "cloud" providers and how anemic the I/O performance is.

It's sad, really, since SSDs have so greatly reduced the penalty for data not fitting in RAM (while still being local). The penalty for being at the end of an ethernet, however, can be far greater than that of a spinning disk.

What about state level actors, say the NSA, that consider bitcoin supplanting the US dollar as the standard medium of international currency exchange a huge threat to the world economy? (or at least their ability to control it)

I think people need to be concerned that Governments, at any point of time, with their incomprehensibly huge computation power, can use it to crush bitcoin. Not only that but they can pass laws that allow them to forcibly seize the fattest wallets. Which ultimately ensure's that the Government can, behind the scenes, kick the scaffolding out from beneath us. All I see right now is state level actors experimenting in this regard, because seriously who single handedly has the computation power to take control of these cryptocurrency's if its not the government or a company like Google?
I believe you that this is true for GitLab but I’d also imagine many companies getting somewhat pissed off about that disclosure on the first call. Interesting idea though, I may try it in the future just to see what happens.
I'm not sure what you're angling at with this weird historical whataboutism.

Are you saying that it's acceptable for Chinese companies and gangs to manufacture opiates and ship them off to the USA because Britain and the USA went to war with China 150 years ago to enforce the opium trade?
It doesn't hurt that Google is practically giving them away.

The Home Mini has been $20 several times (inc. black Friday), $80 for three at Costco, or nearly free (e.g. spend $125 on Google Express right now and get one included). I paid only $64 for my Google Home for example (new from eBay).

My point is, if you follow deal sites Google has had back to back sales almost since they launched. The $50/$130 prices for the Mini/Home respectively are largely fiction.
> The EU is claiming jurisdiction over my business

I think this is a huge strawman argument that you've constructed and hinged your entire line of reasoning on.

The EU claims jurisdiction over EU businesses. The reason very large US businesses are caring about GDPR, is because they are multinational businesses with a significant presence in the EU, i.e. they are also EU businesses. And if you're doing business in a country, you have to comply with local law. There's nothing new or weird or over-reaching about that.

When Facebook constructs a data center somewhere in the EU, the local Facebook subsidiary has to comply with local zoning laws, building codes, and labour laws.

When Facebook gathers personal data about EU citizens, the local Facebook subsidiaries have to comply with local privacy laws.

Note that Facebook isn't extending the GDPR protections to non-EU users, because it doesn't have to! It only has to extend GDPR protections to EU users, if they wish to keep their European subsidiaries.

The global financial system is interconnected. Fast transactions can happen because counter party risk is removed by a government backstop. In effect you can't have Visa without a "risk free" store of value. Vaults such as Fort Knox are a part of that system.

In the case of bitcoin they aren't inherently necessary to the function of the system, although with the risk of hacks you can make the case for them.
That is so abundantly true on HN[0]. Nearly any thread about poverty, money, or credit will be full of examples of people who don't understand what it's like to not have money, and it is strange. It's not usually the "American Dream" types who claim that anyone who works hard enough will be able to escape poverty. It's usually the, "have you tried not being poor?" types. Who the hell has money to pay for a house, car, and higher education outright? Those people certainly exist, but it's not the majority.

I don't see what's the problem with that. If you have billions of cash laying around you have to try and invest in something else in case your main product does not work out in the future. It's not like they have limited resources and will pull engineers away from building a next mac or iphone to build a self driving car.
For me it started this year. Once every few days I get a spam call, sometimes in languages I don't understand (chinese, etc). It's always during business hours.

I'm pretty sure my phone is in some do not call database, but that doesn't seem to help much recently.

Our phones need a "this is spam" button, and that data needs to go to the telecom, and they need to do something with it.
The whole reason I went Windows Phone > Android > iOS was because Microsoft took 17 months to get their latest Lumia phone to singapore. Despite the fact windows phone was used a lot in Asia. Microsoft killed themselves off by not being able to do what Apple can do with world wide release. Now I never see windows phones at all in Asia.
It just occurred to me that no product in the history of humanity has ever been harder to localize than Smart Speakers.
You're giving the wrong impression. Let's parse this a bit. China is "crazier" in that it's different in a way that's hard to explain in Western discourse. In order to analogize for the reader, quite inadequately really, the portrayal becomes "exaggerated" and "incomprehensible". To the extent that what's different and unusual is generally perceived as "negative" -- because if they were positive you'd be doing that in your society -- the portrayal of China tends to be negative. Both views are valid.
I think you're misunderstanding the meaning behind a 51% attack?

An honest network participant will accept the chain with the largest accumulated proof of work. This is necessary to resolve forks of the chain, which are a natural occurrence.

A 51% attack means that the attacker can create a chain with more work than the rest of the network.

The idea that you can say "we require 60%" makes no sense by itself - you have to say what you actually mean in the context of a competitive and adversarial distributed proof of work blockchain network...

Maybe you have some ideas how to avoid history-rewriting attacks, in which case you should write a white-paper and launch your own sh1tcoin or ICO (only half joking).
America has never been a position to be 'winning' the battle against robocalls. I'm in California and currently typically get well over 10 calls a day, many with Chinese language voicemail messages. Hard to see how there is any way to stop this...
My Job Became My Addiction
Yeah, that's kind of what I'm saying -- instead of focusing on more "serious" things that "everyone knows are the future", I wish Apple had the courage to focus on the kind of products that people tend to dismiss as boring or derivative at first.

They pretended to transfer to the exchange an item of value, and agreed to swap that item for a different item of value. They've defrauded the exchange / obtained a benefit by deception, like writing a dud cheque or something.

Fraud doesn't require "legally recognized money" to be involved. If you had some scam where you knowingly traded counterfeit collectable cards for real ones you'd be in trouble too.
oh thanks, this looks awesome.
Noticed, recently state or fed money was given to tear down old abandoned factories in small towns in PA. post election. I believe they are trying to bring work in. However, I also believe they don't want the middle age people telling the younger generations that's where gramps worked and earned a livable wage back in the golden era ( Demand Side Economy ). I caught the tail-end as a kid. The factory towns were nice then. I have family members who won't even visit their hometowns, they get sad at the run down appearance and hopelessness 40% unemployment for working age men , tend to believe it's higher. A good job is with a gas lease, timber but not much else.
And? It's hardly something to complain about if your effective taxes are lower in the new scheme even without the deduction.

(Which is going to be true for an awful lot of the people considering moving away from small towns)

Your comment is pretty much a different way of saying what I said in the first sentence of my second paragraph.

Obviously the price tag for the NY system is crazy, but honestly so is what you guys are proposing... It's almost completely impossible to certify a safety critical system with WiFi and Arduino/RPi. This kind of engineering is a whole different ball game, and for good reason (train crashes and derailments are really not pretty).

For an informational system (i.e. telling passengers how long trains are away or for statistics gathering), sure. You could absolutely do that like you say. But as soon as it involves controlling the train or anything to do with signalling, it just can't be done like that.
It's feasible to design a reinforcement learning based network that uses output from a non-differentiable deepfake detector as a component of the loss function.

> New York recently began allowing taxpayers to convert local property taxes into charitable contributions, which are fully deductible from federal taxes. Other states, like New Jersey and Connecticut, have been moving forward with similar plans to reclassify state taxes as charitable contributions.

If they consider their taxes a charitable contribution I should be able to decide to not pay it.

I know a lot of charities I’d rather give money to then the government.
According to this HN discussion you're probably not covered by GDPR: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16751791
I don't think this kind of reasoning applies to all projects. If you're doing something without the pressure to make money you can make something that you're proud of. Of course, this can only be a side project unless you're already rich. The one thing I know is that if you don't love what you do, it's the same wether you own some super hot startup or you write forms for some accountant firm.
As a broad response to a lot of comments here (and the HN perspective in general), there are many dozens of thriving cities in the US that are not San Francisco or New York City. Moving to a city for opportunity does not mean moving to one of the 10 most expensive cities on the planet.

It doesn't even necessarily mean moving to the trendy, increasingly expensive cities, like Portland or Denver or Austin.

It can mean moving to places like Charlotte, Nashville, Madison, Lawrence or Savannah. Or maybe Santa Fe, Columbus, Provo or Bend.

For most Americans, there is a growing city with colleges, trade schools and unemployment rates below the statewide level within a couple hours drive.

You do not need to say how you reached a decision you at most may be required to identify which information was used to reach the decision and how it was obtained.

Businesses may be required to state the reason why a decision was made under other regulation but in those cases those are essentially one liners that do not provide any real explanation e.g. credit score does not meet our treshold.

There is however a real problem with GDPR and ML and by real I mean it’s not you’re getting fined out of business but that no one has a good answer for it and that is if I use your information to train a model and you then tell me to stop and delete all your information do I need to retrain my network? (While most would say no it’s not that simple)

Because for example there are other questions like does a trained model constitutes anonymization or not?
And again before you say “yes” there are ways to reconstruct the training data from models e.g.
http://www.deeplearningbook.org/contents/autoencoders.html

There’s also the issue of using the data for decision making once a request to stop processing has been issued primarily does processing happens only during training or also during inferencing?

Many games, not just the original SMB2.

Rock Man 2 (Mega Man 2 in North America) had one only difficulty in the Japanese release. In North America, Mega Man 2 offered a "Difficult" option, which was the original Japanese difficulty. "Normal" was the default difficulty for the North America release toned things down quite a bit, as Capcom felt the game would be considered too difficult by the North American market.

There's well documented lists of games that were significantly easier for the North American release, with only a few harder for North America.
