OK thanks. Indeed, $100 isn't a bad number to use.
Great blog. The author, incidentally, is a youngish historian named Ben Schmidt. I feel like it's a natural fit with an HN audience given how data-driven his work is, but as you say, it doesn't break through very much.

He also created (helped create?) a tool called Bookworm that might be of interest: http://bookworm.culturomics.org
The Catcher in the Rye, J. D. Salinger.
I can't give just one, but here are a few that had a strong influence on me:

You can calculate a sort of "time-independent cost" of R&D by taking any "innovative elements" that were discovered during the project, and retrospectively amortizing their costs across all the future projects one expects to use them in (maybe with NPV applied to the weightings of the amortization to represent lost opportunity-cost of having that money sit in an investment.)
Count Zero by William Gibson. Somehow I ended up reading it before Neuromacer. It was in the early 90s. I was maybe 16 or so and I remember just getting sucked into that world. It was also the time when I was getting more and more into coding and learning about networks and when I managed to connect to the internet from home for the first time.
Because if you're popping pills you've got a problem.
Nobody said that.

The point was `not science != science`

Science is a course to best-effort prove things to be true—to that end it's been the most successful yet. The reason it's been successful is rigorous testing and data-gathering. And intellectual honesty. That's another discussion, maybe.
> They may need to hire two additional people or change their manufacturing process to a more expensive one to comply with some safety standards and whatnot. The good might become slightly more expensive compared to other goods, and some economic output will be lost.

It won't be lost. It goes toward preventing work related injury, or harm to the customer. It basically prevents manufacturer from dodging social cost his enterprise impairs on workers, customers and people who live nearby. This way it can be and is included in the price and also it's cheaper altogether because it's almost always to prevent then to treat.

Regulation can save everybody's money.
“...it’s no big deal to comply with this huge law”

Sorry but this comment has been driving me crazy. The GBDR about 100 pages? Obamacare is 20,000.

This law may be a lot of things. It may have a huge impact. It may require companies to do things hugely differently. It may require a huge amount of work for some. It could do a huge amount of good or bad.

But, it is NOT a huge law.
All of these instances of violence are regrettable. The aims of the American War of Independence and the Civil War almost certainly could have been achieved without firing a shot. The Nazi regime could have been prevented if the victors of the first World War hadn't imposed harsh punitive measures to destroy the German economy.

> I think you're working too hard with the semantics here. Parents, as in, who ever the hell takes care of the kid the most.

I didn't mean we don't learn that much from parents versus who the hell takes care of the kids (that would be semantics). I meant that we don't learn that much from parents versus all the other people that you interact with throughout your life.

> And technically elephants do communicate, both vocally and through body language. As do most mammals. Just no where near the sophistication we can.

Right, that's why I said that the crucial point was not communication with parents (or who ever the hell takes care of the kid), but communication. If you happen to belong to a species that has difficulty communicating you will never learn much from anyone, regardless of which age your parents die.
Care to suggest one?
Yes, of course. If they do business in the eu, they will need to comply.

If they don’t do business in EU, then they dont have to follow eu rules.

10X bei Grant Cardone, read this January.
Honestly, 10X is, in itself, nothing too new. It does not reinvent the world (like 4HWW did). Yet, by its open language and Grants directness, this book somehow got me started and since January I feel like I have rocket boosters attached.

The stuff I managed to do in recent months was unseen in my life so far (not that I was unsuccessful, but the time after reading this book is really different).
There's a big difference in the attitude of the society that builds these things vs. not, which is what I'm trying to describe. I'm aware that Google can create technical solutions that help protect privacy, that's not the point. That's what everyone says about OK Google and Alexa, but it is clearly not really true. These devices malfunction, frequently, with scary results. I'm not ready to trust Google, or anyone, especially when they are so vague on all the topics, with such an incredible opportunity at city-owned-level surveillance, regardless of what technical safeguards they plan for it.

> Is Google going to record thousands of hours of sidewalk microphone recordings and store them somewhere? Seems far more likely they're just going to stream a "Currently it's 60dB at this intersection"; meets their requirements with minimal bandwidth and infrastructure.

It "seems" to you that Google will actively choose to not record data that would be considered invasive. That's not good enough, though. First, it doesn't seem that way to me at all, I completely disagree with how much data I would expect Google to collect in this situation, and I completely disagree that a dB reading at a lat,lng point will be sufficient for Google's algorithms to do their required work.

Again, the main point I'm trying to bring is not the technical issues, but the societal ones. It is too much surveillance issued directly to a company with no regard for discussing the issues openly. It's just not right.
Provoking a violent response by the system isn’t necessarily something to be avoided. Even people engage in non-violence often provoke violent responses.

Violent action makes people engaged in non-violent action seem reasonable when before they may have seemed extremist. MLK became someone the middle could deal with because they saw that the alternative would have been a violent insurrection. Same with ghandi.
We've done that with all the reports so far. Most of us aren't in the US, but hopefully the ones that are can reach out.
This commment ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17165382 ) accurately slams the extreme complexity of English ordinals in specific, and is sibling to my parent comment.

In order to call the ordinals perfectly systematic, you need to take the irregular cardinals as a given. If you're having trouble there, you'll have trouble with the ordinals too.
A friend loaned me a copy of Ken Wilbur's A Brief History of Everything, which I credit with starting me down the path of philosophical thought. I honestly don't remember a whole lot about the book, but even if I did I'm not certain I'd recommend it if only because I've noticed this tendency of people to read a book about philosophical ideas and then just stop thinking about the ideas and treat them as some kind of dogma. I do recommend deep philosophical thinking though, and to try not to get caught up in the academic side of philosophy.

Terry Pratchett's Hogfather, in retrospect, laid the foundation for a fundamental shift in my understanding of belief and how it interfaces with reality.

The other thing is that people think "I'm not rolling my own crypto" because they're building their own construction out of crypto primitives someone else wrote and having tons of side-channel attacks as a result.

"A Guide to the Good Life" by William Irvine. It's an approachable guide to stoicism and it helped me become less attached and less anxious about things that I have no control over. I really value the increased peace of mind.

I took a lot of notes when I first read the book (https://booknotes.quora.com/Notes-on-A-Guide-to-the-Good-Lif...) and I still revisit them occasionally. (The notes don't replace reading the book, but give a good sense of its contents.)
Why “children,” not “childs”? (2016)
Noah: Darwin Subsystem for Linux, or “Bash on Ubuntu on Mac OS X”
This is an interesting question to me, because I've read lots of books over my life and I don't really think I can say a book has 'completely' changed my life.

However, I've read books with interesting ideas that I've probably applied in my life to varying degrees, which I guess one could say has changed my life to some extent. If that's the criterion, then there are probably too many to list.

Since I'm likely being over-analytical, if I had to recommend one book to read it'd be something like 'James and the Giant Peach' or another book that would sufficiently open one's imagination.
A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole

I read it during a stay in a psychiatric facility. I had checked myself in because I felt unsafe towards myself.

I couldn't focus reading anything else. I could focus reading this. It even made me smile. Then even laugh.

The author killed himself before he ever saw it published. It's a remarkable book. In addition to helping me get out of my head for a bit, reading it facilitated a desire to make / build / write something good and live to see it exist in the world.

That was 2006. Happy to say I'm still here, still trying.
> Do you propose a city should not measure traffic or pollution?

No, I certainly propose a city should measure it. I propose it be done with taxpayer dollars, open source software, and in an otherwise fully open and democratic way by the city.

I do not think corporations should build themselves into cities with a specific plan for surveillance in mind.

> There is a difference between gathering aggregate data about a neighborhood, and individual surveillance.

Not much of one, depending on the neighborhood and how the data is collected. We're all told that the employees at Google, Facebook, etc have very limited access to customer data, but that oversight is also very unknown and opaque to the outside world, and not trusted. I'm certainly not ready to trust Google with an idea of "no individual surveillance" in their city, when obviously as soon as I go in their with my Android phone they know who I am anyway.

> I think you are reading more into it than you should.

No way. Google is showing their ambitions at running human society in a very closed, scary, surveillance-enabled way. If anything I'm reading too little into their plans.
Why Companies Are Adopting Serverless Cloud Technology
I think my favourite example was "As a user, I want the $COMPANY logo to be displayed prominently in the top-left corner of the application"

Hell, I even accept that marketing is a valid stakeholder in the product. But just be honest about what it is! "For brand consistency, the marketing department would like the logo to be displayed in the top-left corner of the application, following standard company branding documentation." That's a perfectly fine "user" story (stakeholder story) I think. It answers the "why does the person want this?" question much better.

This article completely fails to address the reality of visiting South DeKalb. Go drive around in Google Street view and you'll see abandoned commercial property after abandoned commercial property. Businesses struggle to exist there.

The problems there cannot be fixed by zoning more commercial real estate and the comments about healthy restaurants are laughable: look at the restaurants that thrive in the area in question and look at the areas with the abundance of healthy restaurants. There's zero overlap.

If a salad bar chain could do well in South DeKalb, they'd have no shortage of venues to consider. Atlanta is self-segregated in a multitude of dimensions that are much deeper than race.
Forgotten how? Do you see the percentage of non Hindu population in India going up or going down?
I couldn't disagree with this statement more.

On projects that are breaking new ground it is even more important to follow XP practices like getting frequent feedback from customers, taking the simplest solution that could possibly work to avoid overengineering before you actually understand the problem, to embrace change because your original understanding of the problem probably isn't right.

There also is plenty of risk involved in cookie-cutter commodity work. Those kinds of projects fail all the time.
The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know Is Possible, by Charles Eisenstein.

I almost passed on this one due to the corny sounding title, but I’m so glad I didn’t. It renewed my optimism about the future of humanity at a time when my faith was deeply challenged and I was bringing a new person into the world.

I don't think that does anything other than make the comparison worse for Bitcoin: while it's technically true that the Internet started well before 1989, what was popular in 1999 was the web and that really wasn't mainstream before 1993 or so when e.g. Mosaic was released but by 1995-6 it was having significant impacts around the world in most fields.

More interestingly, however, is that Internet was difficult to get and expensive throughout most of that period, not to mention the slow and expensive connection speeds of that era, all of which limited adoption substantially. Even with those barriers to adoption, however, there was plenty of demand because it was immediately useful to have email, Usenet (at least in technical fields), FTP, etc. even before the explosion of activity around the web. When the web boomed, millions of people paid (often by the minute) to surf it at 56K or less.

In contrast, Bitcoin has been available to almost anyone on the Internet for many years without anything like those barriers to adoption but most people haven't had a reason to care.
You could say my usecase is on different scope than that.

But if it 1. isn't stored && 2 there is a good reason (e g. be able to block attacks) && 3. it isn't abused for any other illegal reason then I think they are fine, no extra consent needed to store the IP address temporarily.

But then the law has already been followed.

Edit: also I wouldn't expect anyone outside of IT to care if something is "stored" in RAM or on disk. Kn this case that might be a good thing.
Nobody is claiming global anything, the rest of the world is not the US, and illegal law is an oximoron.
"Bring Me Your Love" Charles Bukowski

Bukowski's style gave me a permission that I didn't know I was looking for. It was raw and accessible. It showed me that prose and poetry didn't need to be buried in metaphor and riddles.

That extends to much of life: let's get on with it. Sometimes it's fine to drop ceremony and adornment--especially if it's not genuine.
It's a lot of fun to form beliefs in the absence of data.
I think in general that violent resistance should be avoided, and people should work within the system. But if people truly believe that the system is no longer working for them, and that change within the system is impossible, then violent resistance makes sense. After all, what do they have to lose? They’re already the victims of state-sanctioned violence.

When the majority have created an unjust system, and leave no option for reforms by minorities within that system, the only alternative is civil unrest, and that civil unrest has brought reform in the us multiple times in history.

Honestly, though — considering what they’re protesting, I think BLM has been remarkably NON-violent.

True, but other things came about around that time as well, like the United Nations, or the rise of secularism/atheism/laicism, or the fact that the power game changed away from the national-state level (the map does not show the territorial gains and losses of the Communist block, or the European Union), or that a combination of the US rising and European countries losing basically all their colonies meant that the power game shifted away from Europe.

The centrist wings of both modern American conservatism and liberalism are both grounded in classical liberalism (the language is different in most of the rest of the West, where liberalism tends to be classical liberalism but widely recognized as a center-right position), so even if true, that wouldn't rebut that he is a modern conservative.

Peterson, OTOH, seems to be a common modern conservative blend of elements from classical liberalism and classic conservatism with modern scientific-sounding rationalization for the classically conservative elements.
