Globalization does make Google a global company. Some of its employees have had friends and relatives in the path of US-operated drone strikes.
‘Solo’ Projection Problems Leave Fans in the Dark, Enrage Industry Veterans
> Drone strikes, as they are used, are a more evil way of taking out identified targets of other nationalities. I find the concept of a nation state summarily assassinating people a bit troubling, but drone strikes make it even worse by making it imprecise and cheap.

There's no significant difference between a drone-strike and a conventional airstrike by a manned aircraft, at lest when it comes to targeting, precision, etc.

Drone-strikes might even be better than conventional airstrikes because the pilot may have less workload (therefore more focus) during the strike part, meaning fewer errors and mistakes.
> Vim also has an undo tree

There is an undo-tree implementation for Emacs (based off of Vim), but the default undo described above isn't an undo-tree.
> To combat that I started a publication interviewing designers and entrepreneurs just to stay plugged into the community.

> So much good has come from a couple years and dozens of interviews. I met a co-founder, was paid to host a similar podcast and have made a ton of friends around the world. Not to mention, I might not be working as a designer had I never started doing interviews.

This is a really cool idea that makes perfect sense. It's basically a way to get plugged into an ecosystem of effective and interesting people. And everyone loves to talk about themselves, so I'm guessing it wasn't too difficult to find interviewees (at least once you got past the first barrier of being a publication with no history).

How did you get the idea? Did you have any relevant experience prior to starting the interviews and then making a publication out of it?

What do you think might be some less intensive alternatives? Starting a publication is not for everyone.

Funnily, I ditched hg the moment it screwed my repo.
But even then I was pretty sure git would win, and not for PR reasons.
A little of topic, but I'm confused about something.

These certs open the door for medical devices, which is great.

I work on Class 1 medcial device. We have customers and regulatory people saying I can't even use Qt because we compile it ourselves. Apparently, once we have access to the source code, we must bring the software up to our target safety class.

This of course isn't feasible. Apparently, this even applies to the kernel.

My regulatory people are demanding that we hire someone like WindRiver to deliver use pre-compiled images and tool chains, removing the source from our hands.

I don't follow regulatory closely, but this has got to be wrong. Are you saying that I can never use open source software? Even if the software has these certs like this (Safe Render)? Surely we can still treat 3rd party libs as SOUP, even if we have the source, yeah?
Yeah the french system is very strange. On the one hand, it forces a second round of "pragmatic voting", which so far has kept out the various extremists. On the other hand, you get a feeling that people only vote for these extremists as a kind of protest, because they know there's a second round. And one day maybe we'll end up with a second round with two extremists (imagine LePen vs Melenchon...).

I think what also makes things strange in France is the rule that all parties must be given equal airtime, which leads to a few bizarre weeks every election cycle where complete loons are on TV and Radio 24/7
Hopefully other browsers are encouraged to do something similar also, else Mozilla will effectively control the destiny of Tor
Sometimes it’s policy (no source code on laptops), but mostly it’s because my line of work uses the verilog language and the tool suites require “very stable” (read: archaic) versions of Linux.

Wait, what? How are you going to write a native app with less quirks than Qt? VTK? That's a little disingenuous.
That is an interesting comparison.

If they adopt either an Ayn Rand-style, "all altruism is selfish", or else a cynical, "altruism is just virtue signaling", then promoters of effective altruism should try to market it as sexy.

They could develop marketing materials portraying effective altruists as hard-working, hard-partying, sophisticated, game-winning, lady-killing, truly conscientious but aspirational millionaires that have developed such complete mastery over their own lives that they now work toward effective as the last game worth playing.

Like a mix between the hunter in "The Most Dangerous Game", Ozymandias from Watchmen, and Gandhi. Or something.
Instagram stories are great for sports. Team stories are usually a series of highlights from the previous game.
Consistency and planning seem like an improvement from the current system of reversing every policy that the last guy put in every 4-8 years.
It's really incredible how the world of software developed by adults differs from the software developed by kids.

Obviously, but that is entirely orthogonal to the language used.

Not really. Index funds depend on the markets being efficient enough that the cost of finding the inefficiencies is higher than the gain from finding them. The more people who blindly invest in markets, the less efficient the market is in reality, and the more possible gain for those who do research.

Note that I said "people invest in markets", and not index funds above. There is a subtle differences, modern index funds are not true market indexes. There are fund managers who trade actively - however they trade mush less often than a traditional actively managed funds and with different rules. The managers do watch earnings reports and sell bad stocks, but the managers are also in for the long term and re willing to wait out a downturn. The managers also know they are judged by the index, and so bad stocks are not a negative in the same way that active funds are judged. Thus an index fund trades much less often, but they are not really a buy the index as published.
> But that is why they only show recaptcha, you fill it in and you will get extemption cookie for 30 more requests :D

Does that actually work? Whenever I have been searching some obscure things and managed to get the captcha after 6-10 pages, it just goes to loop where it keeps giving it constantly. Though it stops giving it if I change the search terms.
I am not even saying we need full proportional representation but just some element so a party that gets voted for by a certain percentage of people can get some foothold. Right now you can't maintain a third party because the threshold to have an impact is way too high.

Interested in developing a scalable analysis system for network data? We work with a high-performance multithreaded environment which can be distributed over several systems. Different NoSQL databases help us to save the data depending on the scaling and to make it available for further analysis over as long a period as possible. A central REST-API connects our systems with each other and offers a uniform interface to the outside. For further analysis we use our dynamic web UI which can be configured individually. We use the following technologies, among others:
•	Akka & Kafka
•	ElasticSearch & InfluxDB
•	Java/Scala & Play Framework
•	Typescript/React

Show HN: Wired Dots 2.0 – Beautiful Bootstrap 4 templates for startups
Ted Dabney Helped Found Atari and Build Pong, an Early Videogame Hit
The article links to http://blog.qt.io/blog/category/functionalsafety/ which has a lot more details.

The short answer tho, is that "the tooling separates out the safety-critical elements for execution by the Qt Quick Renderer run-time."
Call the VC and tell him you're the guy who owns the IP to his startup and that you see 3 paths forward. Offer to sign the IP over to him for market rate.($100 an hour times approximate number of hours you worked there). Or he can just call his goons off and leave the IP question fuzzy. Or he can keep harassing you and you can report his company for paying below minimum wage, tax evasion, and fraud, and you can assert your IP rights on the code you wrote. His call. Better yet, get a lawyer to make the call. Mr VC will probably just buzz off, but you may be pleasantly surprised to get a (well deserved) check for 50 grand if the startup is not a lost cause.

>As for the paid advocacy, have a look at their financials. You'll see a non-trivial amount of income from advertising on the website and speaking.

Because as we all know MMM's plan was always

1. Spend 20's saving
2. Save $600k
3. Quit job
4. Make blog
5. Make millions.

Yes, MMM makes bunches and bunches of money but he is pretty blatant about admitting the "early retirement" was a lie.

He never wanted to retire. He just wanted the option to not work and choose to work on what he wanted.
The argument might better applied to state-level elections for legislative bodies. They are usually FPTP by district, so in a 51/49 split district, a significant portion of the electorate is left out in the cold.

We could adopt some flavor of split system... FPTP for district reps, with some number of positions set aside state-wide for proportional representation.

I believe Germany does something like this, though I'll have to dig up the details.

Sounds like Qt Safe Renderer is a graphics library for displaying safety-critical information in cars, planes, medical devices etc.

In these domains, safety-critical information has to be displayed by certified hardware/software; QT Safe Renderer just got certified and released.
View the comments of any widespread post on Facebook like the video on a popular page.

It's even worse than Youtube comments because it shows that people post the same shit under their real name that their friends/fam can see. They aren't people you know.
To that end I like spacemacs. But it did incur enough of a startup penalty that have have shifted back to vim.

I oscillate between them and vscode. I don’t use vim bindings in vscode though.
The point is, this isn't a new problem. This problem still exists in the current way of doing things.

VS Code can be extended in Typescript: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensions/overview#_writ...

Philosophically Lisp may be superior, but I'm not sure it's so clear cut in real life.

Regarding most of the features you present, a good chunk of them aren't editing features and another chunk are related to running in a limited environment (the terminal). So a big part of them aren't as strong selling points as you seem to think they are, since many people don't care about them.
Here’s a good summation of the inherent moral problems of this project by the International Committee for Robot Arms Control:

https://www.icrac.net/open-letter-in-support-of-google-emplo...
My experience tells that computationally intensive codes are roughly 10% slower that their C++/Fortran counterparts. So fare we are implementing a data analysis pipeline for a cosmological telescope (LSPE/STRIP), and we are migrating a number of codes my team developed for the Planck/LFI instrument. As data formats and a few details of the instrument changed, we decided to rewrite everything from scratch instead of manually fix and recheck every line of code, and we chose Julia 0.6.

The 10% figure comes from a comparison of the performance of the codes whose logic has been left virtually unchanged, of course.

What is awesome is the ability to run codes within Jupyter (like Python), and the ability to run "for" loops on large arrays fast and with little memory consumption (unlike Python). The 10% increase in computational time is fully absorbed by the reduced development/validation time!
