Sure, and we could have blown the lead in the 70s, the 80s, the 90s, the 00s, the 10s, etc. But we didn't. We valued entrepreneurship, hard work, and being the best.

50s was an anomaly with a 36% growth rate, like you said, because we were all that were left. The economy currently is very stable, diversified, and fast growing still for its size, some 70 years later.
Well, yeah. I agree with all this, including the premise that automated teaching is potentially positive, maybe substantially so. But the case has to be made for it. And the argument that there are things that should stay human relies on the presumption that we have not gotten to an adequate understanding that automated teaching would be as good as quality human teaching…

I mean, everything I'm saying is based entirely on taking a charitable interpretation of someone else's comment. Instead of asserting that a comment is just a useless circular logic, I'm saying that we can make sense of it better.

An assertion like "should be human interactions" is an assertion that there exist things that will never be better automated (at least compared to the higher-quality examples of human interactions). I'm disagreeing with your argument that such an assertion needs to specify which interactions those are. It's merely stating that it's a non-zero list and leaving the determination to others at a future time.
I don't know. Just one day, it started it. I had some client work that was overdue and some stress at work place. But it was nothing major.
This is a staple of any high school or college world literature class.
Free movement will drive down wages and labor costs. Labor will lose value while capital will increase in value.

Combine this dynamic with our current world in which the gulf between a small elite class and everyone else is widening with the middle class in between deteriorating, and you have a recipe for disaster. The modern welfare state that exists in Europe and to a (much) lesser extent in the US would crumble from the stress of millions of new individuals flooding the economy at the low end and being stuck there because of economic dynamics beyond anyone's control.

Rather than importing the impoverished from poor nations to rich nations, we should be working together as a community of nations to establish law and order where there is lawlessness. Once law, order and in particular property rights are followed and enforced, wealth can and will grow as it has in places like China and Vietnam.

Encouraging freedom of movement will result in poor regions becoming even more destitute. As one of my wealthy friends from Pakistan lamented to me once when considering whether she should move to Canada or stay in Pakistan, "if people like myself flee Pakistan, who will stay to build it into a strong and prosperous nation?"

Overall, free movement would be a terrible idea for most people. This article does a really poor job of considering the issue.
Thank you for posting this, ordering my copy now!
Ironic that Spotify will apparently penalize the music for being "too loud" when their ads are regularly ear-splittingly loud. It's egregious. When listening with earbuds, I have to have a quick reaction on the volume control because the commercials literally hurt my ears.
I wouldn't call it a helm chart replacement. It's meant to replace directly using YAML files.

Less strict than crossing between the borders of US states? I don't think so. It's clear your borders premise is itself too strict.

At a national level beween Mexico-US-Canada it was more like that pre 9/11. The US Canadian border is/was famous for having been the longest unguarded border on earth. If you watch older movies before the very late 1990s you'll see routine crossings into Mexico / US / Canada as though it was no big deal, because that's how it was.
Yeah, I remember (as an American) when I drove across the border from the Czech Republic to Germany the first time: I mentally prepared my answers to the standard questions, got my passport out, took a deep breath and drove up to the border crossing...only to find all of the buildings shuttered and the road completely open.

I wouldn't have said anything if it wasn't a security tool. The tool keeping you safe shouldn't add risk (all the bug classes commonly found in C programs) to your security posture. You can write reliable programs in golang and rust.

One last tip - have you thought of supporting IPv6 ND and RA messages too? Those technically deprecate arp :(
Hi. Co-founder of CloudBees here (and sometimes contributor to the Jenkins project). I have described the UI as far worse words than that myself, but things are changing:

- Reboot the UI (it isn't just changing existing, but replacing): https://jenkins.io/projects/blueocean/

- Getting rid of version numbers and updates, and fiddling with plugins by hand: https://jenkins.io/blog/2018/04/06/jenkins-essentials/ (make it ever green, like browsers)

- Jenkins X - which is really about how you build apps on Kubernetes: https://jenkins-x.io

- We also have https://CodeShip.com - for those that don't need the on-prem/self hosting flexibility/extensibility and want things to work as a service.

Its great to see so much activity in CI/CD these days, really cool to see. Hopefully if you run into Jenkins again one day in the future it wont be the one you have a bad memory of.
The Wavenet stuff sounds great, but I'm curious how big the model is. The audio files may be tiny, but you may need a huge neural network to decode them.

The author believes government buzzwords about sustainability and quality of life, and completely misses the fact that Songdo was a construction project near an airport in search of a market.

> To promote walkability, developers placed venues like shopping malls and convention centers within a 15-minute walk from Central Park.

Think about that. The "Central Park" is completely surrounded (to a walking distance of about 30 minutes) by hotels/convention centers and shopping malls. No residential. No high-density commercial. Few eateries, all chains. By some heinous oversight, no banking facilities either. (I got stuck there once without cash and without money on my transit card. It took me 3 hours to find a bank and leave.) It is quite literally a desert, designed to cater to conferences and business travellers, rather than residents.

Songdo is a culturally dead city. The building density is high (all those 30-floor apartment complexes), but the land use planning/zoning is exceptionally poor. Apartment complexes kilometers on a side need to be mixed in with commercial space; instead, shopping areas are siloed into single buildings as you can see in the article pictures. There are few public-use indoor spaces, aside from churches which have gobbled up commercial space. The result is shopping districts and living disticts, kilometers apart.

The large block designs result in distances that make walking infeasible, and don't get me started on the lack of shade. Large plazas without trees or grass (everywhere! In residential areas, commercial areas, universities) make the summer heat unbearable for pedestrians.

The article mentions that the city was struggling to attract foreign companies. One thing they did about 10 years ago was give large land grants to universities: 1~5 square kilometers, far removed from the city center. These are served by subways and busses, but unlike other college towns, the zoning nearby is for office parks. As a result you have these huge university campuses with tens of thousands of students ... who would have to walk for an hour to get to any restaurants. At which point it is almost easier to take the bus to Seoul. Of course, the universities knew this. The entire ground floor of Yonsei University's new satellite campus is a parking garage; "sustainability" was always just buzzwords, and the "smart" city is a dystopian nightmare.
This was my thought.

Could it be that NASA takes on the toughest, most daring and most technically complex projects around?

On the medical device projects I work on delays, overruns and issues come into play often. I can only imagine if the medical device I was working on not only had to not injure the patient, but do it in a vacuum, survive the radiation and survive launch!
I always characterize it as “the problem with web development is that it doesn’t work how my favorite language works and UI is easy anyhow, lol”

... and, while that is a slightly unfair characterization, I’ve seen many arguments that can be boiled down to that without losing any nuance right here in HN.
Increased immigration of low-class workers is politically unpopular in the heartland. In fact, even importing certain skilled workers is unpopular among the rank-and-file, as casual criticism of H1-Bs shows.

Instead, since the 1970s, US thought leaders and business leaders of both parties long pursued similar trade policies that embraced deregulation and open markets, which allowed similar gains to be realized by US businesses operating in a globalized world (e.g. outsourcing, offshoring, integrated supply chains).

SV companies pay generously because dozens of companies flush with cash are all competing for the same pool of veterans of other companies. Any company that has less profit per employee (most small businesses) can scarcely afford to pay a premium for rank-and-file employees with domain experience; nor is there enough effortless mobility in specialty skilled manufacturing roles to make such escalating wages necessary.
Started listening, ok, sounds like an interesting person. Check the Wikipedia page on him...

The interview is really interesting and how much he got right about the past 30 years.
You've given me a lot to ponder with your insightful comment,thank you.

Interesting... Those of us who thought "web technologies" have reached the peak of absurdity were proven wrong. Again. Never underestimate the power of human creativity! :)

This reminds me of trying to convince a FidoNet BBS sysop in the late 80's to try the Internet. He adamantly refused, saying FidoNet would be all he'd ever need.

It also reminds me of arguing in the 80's with an IBM PC user that the Amiga's 4096 colors were desirable. He insisted that 16 colors were all he'd ever need.

I also tried to turn my dad on to the Internet and Usenet newsgroups in the late 80's. That failed too. He just wasn't interested.

I guess I'm just not a very good salesman.

This is how I feel about computers today. They're a mess. The fragmentation of hardware, operating systems, apps, websites, programming languages and frameworks is horrible.

I frequently ask people how they feel about the current state of software. Most people think it's fine, they don't have a problem with it. They can't imagine how else it could be. This drives me mad.

I have 100 apps on my phone. None of them talk to each other. Every new appliance, restaurant and event has its own app. These 100 apps will quickly turn into 1000. Clearly, the application paradigm doesn't scale. Where is it going to end?

We're still emulating the physical world in software. File systems are still trees. Programming is still done with text. Paragraphs are still copy-pasted, rather than dynamically embedded. We barely made any progress since that radio interview. Xanadu is still vaporware.

What will it take for a software revolution to take place?
WASM solves a set of problems orthogonal to most JS use though.

It doesn’t touch the DOM and there’s a VERY good reason for that.

To which most advocates end up saying that’s because the DOM is bad and should be scrapped. Maybe, but now we have put the cart firmly so far in front of the horse that’s is a few days ride away.
That is still a year long, 1/4M or more speculative investment. I would not moan too loudly about mgmt interference prolonging the project - that was a rare piece of long term willingness to invest for future technical gains - rare in my experience. (But imo the only way)

well a moan bit loudly...

Meh, they don't keep versions up to date. That version in the apt repo is several versions behind (not to mention how far behind they are on 16.04 repos), not something you usually want to do with network software like Filezilla. My comment listed just 4 pieces of software off the top of my head I installed on a fresh desktop recently, and I wouldn't get any of them from default apt install.
I remember back before the EU it was common while hiking in the mountains to accidentally step into Austria or Italy from Slovenia. The border was completely unprotected except for roads.

Even on roads the border guards would generally wave you through without even looking at your passport.

I imagine much of the border between Croatia and Slovenia is still like that. Go for a walk in the woods and nobody cares if you step over into another country.

Altho this may hvae changed a bit with the recent migrant crysis. I hear fences were put up in some places
Notably absent in the anti-trust speculation is how the AmazonBasics brand does or doesn't get treated differently from other brands with respect to counterfeits (and other undesirable non-Amazon seller behavior, such as used items as new).

AFAIK, Amazon prohibits third-party merchants from selling AmazonBasics, which would mean that the inventory-mingling problem, which has been discussed on other threads, wouldn't exist.

That seems like pretty clear consumer harm.

It's not just Russians who don't smile without reason. The French work this way too, hence what is often called 'the undertaker face'.

No compression system in the world forces you to share parts of the image that shouldn't be shared. So that's true in a vacuous sense.

But the nature of the algorithm means that you have this danger by default. So it's fair to put some blame there.

It depends how tight the rental market is, if there is a lot more demand than supply it is possible that the full increase would be absorbed in rental increases.
Idiots are going to stumble across this on Breitbart or wherever, and later find themselves stuck in traffic in their truck thinking 'NSA's movin' to the AWS cloud, maybe the time's right for me'. After bouncing that same simple thought around their trusted-idiot circle at a bar, the concept will gain steam and AWS is fast on its way to becoming a trusted name in the idiot community.
Depending on how large and complex the mold is, the price does go up a lot.

However, for a 2-up mold for something the size of a game controller, with a 0.5mil shot life, with maybe a slider or two, you are looking at $8-10k at many of the molders I've worked with.

Nope, appsync came out a long time after we were in production and while it's very powerful, it's would require a full rewrite of our application. It's an application service/framework upon itself.

The Bustle stack looks like Redis/Elasticsearch => NodeJS Lambda GraphQL API layer => (sometimes api gateway) => NodeJS lambda render layer => api gateway => CDN. We're working towards removing all the api gateway usage if possible with smarter CDNs like cloudflare workers and Lambda at edge, but it's not currently possible.

This setup gets us an average of 70ms api response time and less than 200ms worst case rendering time. Higher than 90% of cache misses never gets the worst case as we can serve stale content in those cases. Lots of room for improvement too. =)

I don’t think that the GP was insinuating anything regarding the root causes of the issue.

However “IQ” at least as how we measure it, has clear demographic corollarion, this does not mean it’s “genetic” at least not in a racial manner. However it does seem to be hereditary even if through nurture and environmental factors alone.

The sad truth is that until we as a society come to terms with that there likely won’t be an effective solution.

Time and time again various charities and governmental programs discovered that trying to uplift the least privileged through a new coat of paint doesn’t work, even the gates foundation does not target the “weakest” schools as those are essentially beyond hope at least at this point.

I also don’t think that the GP’s point of rating teachers relative to the current potential of their pupils rather than using local, state and national averages is inherently wrong or discriminatory, if anything proposing that all of only those at risk and underprivileged youth would have new textbooks and cleaner class rooms that they would perform just as well as privileged kids who go to private schools or to private in all but tution public schools.

And while forcing children away from their families and putting them in schools where they would be abused is terrible one thing that does seem to work is just that minus the abuse and the forcing as children with less means that get into good schools through either scholarships or voucher based programs tend to perform extremely well.

That said the most important factors as far as underprivileged youth goes seem to be missing from the study.
Test scores are not the most or even an important factor for such social programs that seek to change the future outlook of these kids for the better.
Teacher or well “educators” can have and should have an impact far greater than pure academic success and that is they should imprint positive social character and personality traits.

So while the scores were not improving has the well being of the kids improved? Has underaged crime rates dropped? Drug and alcohol use? Violence? Was there psychometric collected to see if kids developed traits that would increase the likelihood of them succeeding in life?
Are their happier?
That is the data I would expect to be collected and in my matter much more than their scores on some standardized tests.
I’m disappointed jsonnet is not a poem.
