That's why pretty much the lowest common denominator is fixing the poverty problem manifests as education. Societies that make education one of there main investments will continue to reduce crime rates, increase social safety nets and second chances, and I hypothesize these countries will have most stable positive growth rates in there economies.

Because what "horrific" means depends on your culture. So sure, it's horrific for you and me. But it arguably wasn't horrific for Aztecs back then. Or even for their victims. Analogous in the Western tradition is the belief that honorable soldiers should freely give their lives to protect comrades and country. To me, that's also horrific, but whatever.
Well evaporative cooling, and ground-source energy similar to this does get used in modern architecture. Cooling towers are used to evaporatively cool waste heat from the circulating water in HVAC systems. Thermal labryinths, or earth ducts directly transfer heat to and from the earth, ground source heat pumps do as well through refrigerant loops.

We used to pump CSV files into BigQuery from remote locations. Data availability became a problem because of choppy/low bandwidth internet in many of the remote wind/solar sites we work in. We explored converting CSV’s to Parquet format mainly for the reduced size Parquet offers. BigQuery accepts Parquet files but still in beta. We then just zipped the CSV files which reduced the size to almost 1/8 and BigQuery accepts zipped files directly. Works like a charm, only downside is if your CSV files have zagged rows then errors are thrown up. You can change some settings and have BigQuery accept a certain number of zagged rows.

If you are considering only file sizes then i would recommend this zipping method. If you are more interested in query time capabilities/advantages then you must consider Parquet.

We are still experimenting with Parquet because our dataset keeps increasing by about 100GB everyday.

I'm not commenting on the use of Bitcoin for Russian/Saudi interests, simply some information on Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing.

Money Laundering tends to be smallish sums deposited over time, resulting in large amounts. You can't wash 100MM in one go.

Terrosist Financing tends to be a very large number of small transactions from multiple global sources in a very short space of time into one account/wallet/location. Like crowd-sourcing, in fact exactly the same as crowd-sourcing.

Less risky than Bitcoin? In the end you have to get it out of the blockchain to be useful, so that's where the pointers from a law-enforcement perspecive are.

If I'm moving stolen money (or magic math coins or whatever) I don't give a damn about the fees - it's 100% profit either way. It costs money to have it laundered, whether that goes to a shady lawyer(s) or a Bitcoin processor who cares, it doesn't matter it's all profit for the thief.

> On windows nothing much is on the store mostly because people don't want to give Microsoft 30% on Linux charging 30% is downright impossible because people would trivially publish an alternative source instead.

Most package managers on Linux do not provide any sort of revenue stream. The comparison only holds when the software is free, at which point '30%' is $0.

The main exception I'm aware of, the elementaryOS app center, provides a worse deal. Same 70/30 split for $2 charges, but it's 50/50 on a $1 charge.

Your second point was that HW engineers haven’t learned about sharing—as evidenced by the fact that they use a different term for it than SW does.

Again this is evaluating HW through a SW prism. Where’s github for bridge designers? rocket scientists? brain surgeons?

HW engineers share info in pretty much the same way that every other industry in the world does (except SW). The concepts are made available through patents, conferences, journals, and press releases. More detailed info is often made available through purchaseable IP.

Maybe it could be better, but there are good reasons that HW IP can’t be shared as easily as SW source code.

I think crypto is different in the way it actually doesn’t do anything. Bitcoin has been around for 9 years and you have never been able to use bitcoin as a currency fewer places than you can now.
I have zero interest in Bitcoin, but the idea that terrorists finance happens through cryptocurrency is very naive. Terrorism is sponsored on the ground, with goods, not money that you have to convert to some other money first, and then buy things you need.

in modern western society, we tend to have a regard for the lives of [certain] individuals in the short term, at the expense of lives of others in the longer term, not to mention relatively little regard for the environment, or other species.

other societies may have been held together as engines that required the input of thousands of human lives to be sacrificed to appease the gods, our society functionally appears to require the sacrifice of the future of the planet for the appeasement of quarterly targets. i'm editorialising a bit, but you get the idea, particularly if you've read a few papers discussing "business as usual" economic-environmental modelling scenarios projecting out to the end of the century.

i'm not arguing that either mode of operating a society is laudable, but much of modern western society's focus on short term materialist and individualist goals may produce misery for our species and other species on a truly obscene scale never before experienced in human history.
How do you actually find the c++ docs in man. They never seem to be installed on my desktop. I would love it if I could just type `man std::Vector` to get details about a vector, and its methods.

Running projects where you only make decisions when you run out of money seems like the sign of incredibly poor management.

Once you start noticing that budgets/timelines are slipping you can start revising your estimate. If revised estimates don't start converging, you basically don't actually know how much the project will cost, and saying it will cost another billion is just straight lying.
Yeah, I mean; stealing things from a campus and breaking into networks aside; people shouldn’t charged for anything illegal for hacking devices they buy and passing on that info. It’s crazy it’s not allowed in the first place. There is a perfectly fine way of preventing that; just say the device is not yours but you paid to rent it for a period (say 10 years); the device does not belong to you. Then you can say it’s illegal to mod, but if it’s yours I find it absolutely insane you cannot reverse engineer, repair or mod it.
Ah, well, I heard Planck Time also already exists. What's the point then re-inventing time quanta when they already are defined?

There was no reasonable excuse in 2016 either lmao.
> One is to appease "the gods". The other is to protect society

Defining 2 things then calling the definition different is not compelling.

The thinking that makes them less different is that they both serve "a greater good" (a just society or secular society) or "specific good" (of a community or divine favor). How you perceive the original intent or what terms you use are not relevant to the association.

This reminds me of a book that came out in 1996 called Silicon Snake Oil: Second Thoughts on the Information Highway by Clifford Stoll. In it, he predicted, the internet will all turn into crap. At the time it was the most contrarian view point ever, I can't help to think I need to find a copy now in light of what facebook and mobile phones and their negative effect on society has done.

He wrote an amazing book called the Cuckoo's Egg before that, basically everyone in silicon valley has probably read and can relate to if you are from that era.

> Any network-effect driven product is a cult

"The term cult usually refers to a social group defined by its religious, spiritual, or philosophical beliefs, or its common interest in a particular personality, object or goal" [1]. Membership connotes devotion. That is different from network effects. For example, telephones benefit from network effects. Buying a telephone does not join one onto a cult.

(Buying Bitcoin, alone, does not admit one into a cult, either. It’s the behaviour of the community around Bitcoin that exhibits cult-like tendencies.)

That’s media sensationalism. BTC is not remotely anonymous and is useless as a tax evasion mechanism. Your money still has to go through someone to turn into BTC, and that’s the same as any other money laundering operation. Once their books are audited, your “safe haven” is worth nothing.
Even if it did (but that’s rubish), it would have nothing to do with GDPR - which isn’t your personal magic bullet against anything you might not like.

TLDR; The GAO identified the culprits as “risky management decisions, unforeseen technical challenges—some avoidable and some not—and workmanship errors.”

Looks like nothing we didn't knew. NASA wants very high success rates on missions which leads to spending enormous sums to drive down probability of failures. On the other hand, Musk can blow up rockets dozens of times and keep moving at a fraction of the cost. The second biggest factor is simply the unknowns. It's not that we have launched giant telescopes in space dozen times and have became very good at predicting costs.

That's not how dirty money works if you want to get away with it. You need to launder it -- put it into something legitimate and, most importantly, get something back out of it that looks legitimate enough to pass casual scrutiny -- for this service anything and anyone, legit or not, is going to take a cut (or "fee"). It's the cost of doing criminal business. And if you're in a criminal enterprise and you even talk to the other members of the ent. about how you're going to move your money you ain't gonna be in the enterprise very long. That type of dirt you do by your lonesome or you die.
History could have turned out differently, but wouldn't it require other factors to also change?
For instance, isn't European colonialism responsible for both the larger number of diseases the explorers had been carrying, but also the higher herd immunity? And that the native's relative isolation led them to be more exposed when confronted with foreign cultures?

I guess what I'm asking is, isn't this a little bit of a chicken/egg situation?
If the natives had been more aggressive in expansion, they may have had a higher exposure rate to other cultures and diseases and thereby a higher immunity to it as well as leading to more genetic diversity, and possibly having reached Europe first?

I guess the way I read your comment was implying that history could have easily been different (which you may or may not actually be stating), but the number of factors (genetic/cultural temperament, geology, etc) all have to line up over such a long period so as to basically be a fundamentally different world history than what has transpired, both before and after the actual colonisation period.

I overall agree with your point, that it was a large factor in the colonisation of the Americas, but even that aspect was far more determined or influenced by a huge range of factors that co-mingle into the history we know (and largely left to random natural processes and historical fiat).

I'm probably being overly pedantic (it is Saturday night on HN after all ;)), but I guess your statement read similarly to other "history-could-be-different" thought experiments, but seem fundamentally different (I'm contrasting that to the most common experiments, situations like the TV show High Castle and what if Germany won the war, or what if JFK hadn't been assasinated, etc).

Again, I'm not necessarily disagreeing, just following a mental thread of what would be needed in order for that change to be possible.
Having written and read all that, at the very least, I was assuming something that's probably different than what you're actually saying.

Your comment does make me wonder about some of the other accounts of European history where the Romans had a harder time invading (parts of Brittania, for example) where the cultures were written off as barbarian and completely deranged or had large myths associated with them, if disease played some part in the comparable success/failure of colonisation for those areas and the coloring of Western history in general.
From experience, most managers suck, period. There are amazing managers but it’s pretty rare. I won’t get into too much details here as the OP asked for a specific question. But it comes from the fact that a 1st line manager’s job is very close to babysitting, which is not the most rewarding job.

With that being said, why do managers get paid more? Think of it as parents versus kids. Who has the most responsibilities? Parents... who has collected the most data? Parents... who gets blammed when things go wrong? Parents... who pay the price when things go wrong? Parents.

That is why manager have a higher salary braket in general. Plus, they usually come from an IC path with a big hands-on experience. They’ve already nailed the IC salary range.

Needing to pay fees is different from not "giv[ing] a damn about the fees." I understand I have to pay a broker's fee when I buy and sell stock. That doesn't mean I'm indifferent to its level.
