> Current models based on biological principals are starting at a level of complexity which is emergent from a more foundational level which is ignored in our currently best performing models.

Not really. It's too complex, we understand too little, and there's very little reason for it, since intelligence is not a property which is encoded in a neuron, but an emergent property, emerging from the interactions between them and the development of the network.

It's a bad idea for the same reason that if you want to simulate the aerodynamic properties of an airplane, you don't start with string theory.

> Individual units within biological networks can individually adjust their behavior, based on external inputs both from other cells in the network and external to whole network (environmental) inputs.

You don't need to start from the cellular level to achieve this though.
I don’t fully understand he tariffs, but wouldn’t you be subject to 25% tariff anyway if it was made in China?
> Perhaps but in this case better for who? It doesn't seem to me that - for most Americans - allowing the Chinese to steal our technology and then underprice our businesses with cheap labor is beneficial.

- China's labor prices are increasing faster than they are in the US. So fast in fact, people are automating factories in China and/or moving factories to other countries.

- Every country _except_ the US will continue to buy those goods at the real market price.

- This is just exporting US jobs to Mexico/Canada who will assemble and import into US via NAFTA. That is the best case.

- Worst case this sets off a permanent trade war with China and the US is forced to sever ties with every potential "cut out" through which trade can flow. The US would need to knife all of its allies in the back and impose these tariffs on all nations for this to actually work.

- The correct response to China's behavior was the TPP followed by multilateral action to punish China.
I'm using bindgen to generate bindings for radare2. But I'm also using TryFrom, so I'm not likely to move off of the nightly toolchain any time soon.

Before I ended up going down the TryFrom rabbit hole I ran into two issues with bindgen:

1.) Bindgen segfaults with the ancient LLVM on OSX 10.9. Issue #1006. Solution: use LLVM >= 5 binaries from the LLVM site.

2.) Stable (deprecated) rustfmt causes bindgen to segfault. Solution: cargo install -f rustfmt-nightly. It could be as simple as "stable rustfmt requires --force to run because it's been deprecated", but more helpful error messages would be a great thing here.

But of course, "If you can't measure it, you can't manage it", said by Drucker, says EVERYONE. Hence the cherry picking of preferential KPIs or OKRs.

But, actually, Drucker didn't say it. In fact, W. Edwards Deming said it. And what he actually said was "It is wrong to suppose that if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it – a costly myth.". So, basically, the quote held up as the "reason" behind excessive over-tracking of the wrong thing... is wrong.

The inefficiency is comparable to those who advocate using antimatter as the ultimate fuel, somehow forgetting that it needs to be manufactured somehow at great energetic expense. If one has a Dyson sphere’s worth of energy to power one’s antimatter-production plant for one’s ultrarelitivistic fleet, that’s great; but if you’re thinking of massive conventional fusion reactors as an intermediary might as well just take those (and their large amounts of light fuels) along for the ride and cut out the intermediary product.
Since my prior comment was downvoted into obscurity, I’ll jump on yours and reiterate my point and ask...

What do you manufacture? Would you be interested in a startup that offered you a waiver of these tariffs?

My prior point was you will start seeing start ups pop up left and right offering “tariff free imports/importing for US manufacturers as a service”. Somehow that is controversial enough to be downvoted without a reply I’m not sure why.

No, it results in a lower quantity of labor supplied assuming labor supply (the function mapping price to quantity supplied) is unchanged.

Incredibles 2 review: Pixar moves away from complicated emotions
Well, if they were actually losing money on it, it would be a loss leader.

But since the actual cost of the dog, bun, cup, soda, paper plate, napkins, condiments, labor and depreciation comes in under $1.50, it's not a loss. It's just money left on the table.

Except -- it probably isn't. Costco isn't really a restaurant, it's a store which carries a limited number of high-value items packaged in bulk. The hot dogs (and the other low-priced food up front) are a form of complementary good, which more than pays for itself by enticing people to come in on their lunch breaks and shop for fifteen to thirty more minutes than they would if they had to stop for fast food somewhere else. And it keeps kids quiet when the parents want to spend more time there.

Department stores have repeatedly rediscovered the utility of having a decent food option available on-premises - Neiman Marcus, Macy's, Ikea.
This is supposedly fully funded by the Boring Company. No tax money will be put in the project. At least that's what they are saying.

The $8.5 billion O’Hare Airport expansion project is approved and underway, and it is also funded by the airlines via issuing bonds. Supposedly, no tax money will be involved either.

Block 37 is also designed to serve as a downtown "terminal". Passengers will go through security and check in luggages before they board the trains.

I don't know the regulations, but installing double ended jet bridges doesn't sound that easy to me. It's probably something FAA has to approve. Staffing issues at the ticket counter and security is also outside of the mayor's jurisdiction. It's decided by the airlines themselves, TSA, and the organization that runs the O'hare airport.
The article doesn't seem to suggest they're losing money.
What is a bad password? It's a password that's easy to guess. Nobody is going to guess 500 million passwords. If they get the password hash, just assume they're going to crack it. To protect against this eventuality, I think forcing users to create a new password every 6 months might be a really powerful protection for consumers.

Rather than try to verify if a password is easy to guess, you could offer up strong password suggestions if the user can't create a good one in two tries using basic password heuristics.

Most online accounts are not critical to a user's life if they get hacked; the real danger is in reused passwords. If you generate random passwords for the users, there's no way they're going to reuse it. So that might be better for user security than just fighting to try to get a password that's impossible to guess/brute force.

So my suggestion is to just generate a super difficult password for the user and tell them to save it in their browser's password manager (make sure your site behaves well with browsers' password save feature), and if they forget it, hit that "e-mail me a password reset link" button. After that, implement non-SMS 2FA.

It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages to its workers has any right to continue in this country.

> (a) does not harm China, as intended, as they are still the only viable place to purchase these items, yet (b) actively harms business in the United States, as we are paying the additional cost ourselves.

There's an important qualification: that's probably only true in the short or medium term. I believe the goal is that the higher cost would produce economic space for competitors to enter the market.

Ironically, I believe the WTO rules allow for countries classified as "developing" (like China) to maintain high tariffs to develop local industry for precisely this reason.
TL;DR: It's a sales driver.
So then these are protectionist policies and not in the spirit of pure capitalism. And these policies are in place for "the good of the nation" as such any policy good for the nation is supposed to be a rational action notwithstanding the effects of unintended or retaliatory consequences. And lastly, we're to "trust" a single man's unilateral tariff power that all will be well.

Is that all correct?
Did you not read the list, or are you unfamiliar with electronic components? Every single component commonly found in consumer electronics is covered in that document. That includes the individual components (passives, actives, everything), the circuit boards, the wires, the power supplies, the connectors, displays, switches, fuses, sensors... everything.
My conclusion (not just based on this example), is that MySQL favors (initial) ease [1], whereas PostgreSQL favors correctness [2].

To suggest the former approach is "stupid" is to fail to explain how it became so wildly popular. I allege that it is actually brilliant.. marketing.

MySQL marketed itself to developers by being not just free, but easy to work with. Need a database? Want to learn SQL? We won't bore you or slow you down with Codd and those pesky rules maaaan. It'll just work!

For the vast majority of use cases, it did exactly that.

Meanwhile, Postgres was esssentially sending the stodgy, old-fashioned message that databases are a hard problem that require careful up-front consideration so that one doesn't run into problems down the road, be they scale/performance or more severe like (even non-catastrophic) data loss.

That this message was, and still is, correct, just isn't very compelling in a rapid-protoyping fail-fast world. Unfortunately for those of us whose job it is to deal with the eventual consequences, it's too late by the time we're brought in [3].

I think we've seen a similar effect with many of the "NoSQL" datastores, as well. They gain initial popularity due to being easy, lightweight, and lightnight fast, but, as they mature and gain real-world use, we see articles that are shocked (shocked!) that there is data loss going on in this establishment and that, yes, if you need certain tedious features (like data integrity) from that stodgy old database world, you'll have to sacrifice that lightning fast performance.

[2] aka standards adherence or even pedantry

> According to this myth, low-density, auto-dependent development dominates U.S. metropolitan areas because that is what Americans prefer.

Unfortunately I have to agree with the "myth": outside of urban bubbles like the one I live in, yes, Americans do prefer that. It is the cultural norm and everybody's expectation. To a lot of people you may as well be a Martian to defy it.

HTTP/2 as a spec doesn't demand HTTPS. Only browsers enforce this requirement.

From a technical perspective, HTTP/2 makes little sense when you're commingling requests from different user agents. Header compression is ineffective. Persistent connections provide little benefit, as keep-alive works just as well in a data center environment. Between servers, there is no connection limit (as there is with browsers) so there isn't really head-of-line blocking issues that would go away when using HTTP/2.

In general, you're unlikely to benefit materially from using HTTP/2 (versus vanilla HTTPS) between your edge servers and your application servers.
The software analogy is an interesting one. It is generally accepted that software, when ran on a computer, embodies a device or service that is fundamentally different from the same data simply displayed in an editor as computer code. Click-through EULAs are widely recognized and enforced by courts, quite the opposite of email disclaimers.

So in a sense, you do have the right to download any computer code you find on the internet, if legally published by it's author. You can print it out and study it's behavior and the author has no way to restrict that since they themselves published the information. But you typically cannot run it or modify it outside the license terms.

The distinction hinges on the interpretation we give to the data, and I guess that opens a fatal flaw in my argument: while a HTML version of the article constitutes a document that can be downloaded and read regardless of any disclaimers attached, a binary blob that must be run to deobfuscate the text is in effect a program. And since the hallmark of computers is their ability for general programming, it's quite easy for publishers to force you to run a program and accept it's licensing terms before providing the information you seek.
Have you considered client software which encrypts before upload? This way you don't have to trust the provider. Something like https://cryptomator.org/
You don't have to store every compromised password ever to ensure users have a reasonable one. Just follow the NIST recommendations, and check against the top million, or top few million, and you're all set. If you use a good password storage library, and you slow down guessing attacks, or stop them altogether, your users will be safe. Those 300 million compromised passwords have a very long tail, and if you let a hacker attempt a few million password attempts running down the list, you've already failed.
I think it's just bugged. Was doing the exact same thing for me too.
How on earth could a startup provide that service legally?
> It is trivially gamed by malicious actors. It does not reward higher-quality discourse. It rewards overzealous moderators. It rewards edgy or controversial discourse which does not break the guidelines. It rewards users who contribute a bare minimum of information while punishing users who write longer, more informative or interesting posts.

To the best of my ability to determine, every single thing you said in this paragraph is false. Could you explain how you think some of that works? Because, quite frankly, your comments here look like you just want to complain about HN.

> Could you write a script that measures whether an HN post breaks the guidelines?

No. I could evaluate a bunch of posts, though, and I suspect that my evaluation of that bunch of posts would not be statistically different from others' evaluation of them (assuming fairness and no malice on all the evaluators' part, of course).

It's not automeable, and it's not perfect. But it's also not rocket science.

"The US had not achieved those objectives 12 years later."

Yes. They did.

The US did achieve those objectives in the early 1970s'.

The US vanquished the South Vietnamese forces, and did considerably damage to North Vietnamese forces using air power - to the point where North Vietnamese did not have a capable fighting force.

Communism was basically gone in the South, in the North, inoperable, at least militarily.

Then the US left.

A few years later, the North built up their armies and waltzed into the South.

It's really crazy, strategically that the US withdrew - all they had to do was leave about 50K soldiers, sitting 'behind the wire' not really fighting, maybe an aircraft carrier, i.e. 'the threat of violence' and S. Vietnam would be as free today as S. Korea. The Americans withdrew because of populist political pressure back home i.e teens protesting. I don't believe the US should have necessarily gone to war in Vietnam, but after they did, they should have stayed - it would have cost very little.

Anyhow - as per the article - 'points of measure' can be misleading, as it was with 'bodycount' in Vietnam, but they're not entirely misleading.

Number of enemy combatants, civilians, allies killed or wounded is a very important metric in every conflict. It's just not 'the' metric.

A lot of those users complaining are probably not US based.

For example, where I live in Germany Apple Maps for the most part doesn't even have transit, while Google Maps has had it since years.

Or just recently I was looking for a supermarket which was supposedly very close to my location, so I looked it up on Apple Maps where the next one was. Told me it as 14km away. Turns out it was actually one street from where I was around a corner. Google Maps had the correct location.

I prefer Apple Maps' UX, but their data is either outdated or just plain wrong at times, which makes it effectively useless for a lot of things I now use Google Maps for.

Whether the kids would say that or not is (semi) irrelevant to my point.

You are a by-product of your parents. What you've learned from them - about life, as well as a model of parenting - often carries forward. The problem is this: you wanting to share what you've learned doesn't mean what you learned is worth sharing.

In short, for some percentage of these kids, this increase could be bad news.

The question is: How many? And in what way?

The best thing I can tell you is to just shrug off the bad news they tell you. My father is notorious for this. Everything is the end of world situation with him. I just say okay, okay and he gets the point, I am not interested in it. It is hard to get people to understand that you really don't care about all the garbage in the world. There are things worth caring about and there are things you can do about the garbage. Change doesn't start with complaining to random strangers, it starts with voting and making people aware by giving them the key to start changing the problem. I am no expert on this and I really don't vote enough, but over the years I have made people around me aware that I am not interested in negative information unless it directly can be changed by something I can do.
Is that best practice?

So the US won a war, withdrew, and then abandoned their ally.
