No, I'm saying you are denying people who want to change the current status quo the right to do so by calling them freeloaders. Like, I don't think it's difficult to see that pretty much any political change would be impossible in the world if everyone had your approach.

>>Was that regime interested in keeping the people safe, or just keeping itself in power

That just demonstrates a lack of political knowledge on your behalf, but I'll give you a break on that, like you requested. Communist government wasn't all bad, there's a reason why plenty of people yearn for return of the "good old days" - it has succeeded in many of the "for the people" goals, but failed spectacularly at others. Just like US succeeds in certain areas(freedom of speech) but fails completely at others(making sure everyone has access to healthcare and education). It's not as far fetched comparison as you'd imagine.

>>If your goal is to displace the US from that position, then who do you think you'll be left with?

Hopefully someone who doesn't get us into random wars we have no interest in. Like, EU could finally go for the full unity, get a proper army and stand on its own without US interventionism.
I am not sure why you turned this into a US military thing.

One way that's sometimes done is that you require them to submit an independent respectable audit of their financials, or in case of confidentiality issues, not submit the actual financials but a statement from a respectable auditor that they have verified the suppliers financials and their cashflow/"runway"/etc satisfies the criteria that you required.
My most upvoted comment on HN was when I made reference to fact that I had grown up in African village. I was totally unaware that this was a something worth sharing but it seemed to pique people's interest. As I didn't know any better at the time, I never felt that I lacked anything. I had two parents, grand parents and many cousins around. We spent the whole time playing, "exploring" and "hunting". Not once did it occur to me that we didn't have running water or flushig toilets and hence I was worse off. We had chores, looking after the livestock and helping out with the harvest. We had at most three pairs of clothing and hardly wore shoes.

We moved to town and my siblings were born in town. To this day me and my older brother, the village kids have always been more independent. During the time I was in school my parents didn't glance at my homework. Later on when my younger brother who is 11 years younger than I am was in school my mother had "learnt" that good mothers help their kids with homework. To this day my little brother cannot do anything on his own without help (accept poetic license for the sake of being brief).

I read somewhere though, I think one of those decade long Harvard studies that having chores when young was the biggest factor in how successful people became. I presume poor kids have to play a bigger role, hence have more chores in ensuring that household is fed and clothed.

Tech companies tends to not just take over an existing market. But to grow it, by opening opportunities that didn't exist before. Like how smartphones created a market for apps, inventing a need that wasn't there before.

I don't see how that's likely to happen with military contracts. What beneficial need are they going to invent?
I don't know why I'm bothering to engage with an anti-immigration "think tank" that's obviously going to be a pit of dishonesty, but I had a look at the linked PDF:

"The overall population that we analyze, for the purposes of determining the costs of illegal immigration,
also includes about 4.2 million American-born minor children of illegal aliens. Although, the U.S.-
born children of illegal aliens are, under the current interpretation of the 14th Amendment to the
Constitution,
de jure
U.S. citizens, they are also typically “targeted low-income children,” who are eligible
for a variety of federal benefits. While not counted as illegal aliens, these children are a signifi
cant part of
illegal immigration’s
fi
scal impact on the U.S. taxpayer. Because they would not be present in the United
States but for their parents violation of American immigration law, we consider them to be appropriately
considered part of the cost of illegal immigration. "

Right. So they're counting US-born children, who they admit are constitutionally Americans, as part of the cost of illegal immigration.

So I guess the next step is finding a way to deport or cage those US-born American children of illegal immigrants?
I'm curious: what exactly makes these magnets so dangerous when swallowed? Is it just the case that if multiple magnets are swallowed, they will clump together and cause obstructions, or is there more to it?

A single magnet ought to pass through easily and be pretty benign, right?

Contrast to button-cell / "coin" batteries which are incredibly dangerous if ingested, and where swallowing a single one can cause severe internal burns or even death. Yet we don't see many calls to ban these, despite being very common in all kinds of household devices...

Continued conversation arrived for Google Home users yesterday
A modern Xeon is 20 lanes of PCIv3, or 273MB/sec per drive just to get data into RAM, assuming the bus was exclusively dedicated to disk, which means at full utilization you get about 69k 4k IOPs per unit rather than the rated 500k.

Then you need to shunt that back out over the network - using the same bus it just arrived on, most likely after a trip via the CPU to add protocol headers. With a 40 Gbit NIC the per-drive bandwidth drops to absolute max 204MB/sec and available network bandwidth per-drive is only 86MB/sec (22k IOPs), meaning at full whack and in the best possible scenario, and assuming no other overheads, you'd still only ever see 4-5% of rated performance. In reality and after accounting for things like packetization (and the impedance mismatch of 4k reads vs. 1500 byte network MTU) and the work done by the CPU it's probably safe to knock that number down by another 20-40%, depending on the average IO size.

Sure they'd kick ass for reads from a small number of clients and latency would be amazing, but it'd be so much simpler, cheaper, and flexible to just have the same disk split across 4 or more boxes. What happens if the motherboard dies? That's a megaton of disk suddenly offline, etc.

Yep. Though we're a rare breed I'll admit, I'm an American libertarian and I'm supportive of unions and collective bargaining.

I have a caveat in that I don't support laws that interfere with such bargaining or artificially increase one party's market power (closed shop laws). In the US this identifies me as being "right to work" which is often seen as anti-union.

For example I don't support the UAW due to their long history of using the state to increase their market power.

https://github.com/electron/libchromiumcontent/issues/384

tl;dr (as I understand it) is that a change in FreeType invalidated an assumption that programs were making in how fonts were rendered, making text look garbled. It was fixed pretty quickly in Chromium and Firefox, but it took a few months to trickle through to Electron and finally to the apps based on it. In the meantime, Linux distros had started upgrading to the new "fixed" (seemingly broken) FreeType, so the workaround was to downgrade FreeType until any affected Electron apps were updated.

I understood it that their society does not simply frown at one member standing out, but rather its framework is such that, if one becomes better than others in some regard, one has to overall “level it out” as it were by suffering ridicule and/or making some nuanced changes to one’s behavior.

My primary objection is to the first paragraph of your comment, though. Becoming out-competed by other societies is only an issue as long as this framework is not adopted on higher scales. I know this is out of this world, but it’s interesting to consider.

The true “global village”, possible thanks to modern connectivity, might be the great enabler; although the same technology also facilitates community fragmentation and bubbles, which are obstacles in context of establishing global egalitarianism JuǀʼHoansi-style.
It’s also a bit out of date, but nobody’s perfect. :)

Thanks for your reply, I'm going to try to read it and the others carefully.

I wonder whether it's possible to bridge the gap more for people who are used to more conventional programming paradigms. For example,

> 'Source' is an example of a Functor. We can use 'fmap :: Functor f => (a -> b) -> f a -> f b' as '(a -> b) -> Source a -> Source b'. So, if we a function 'a -> b' we can turn a source of a's into a source of b's. Nice.

In python that's just

itertools.imap(function_a_to_b, stream_of_as)

and many other languages will have a similar construction.

So I immediately hit a block as I'm struggling to understand why I need the notion of a Functor to understand what in the end looks like just lazy mapping of a function over a stream.
They provided me horrible support on Gsuite. It took nearly 2 months of badgering them to get them to fix an error on their end with setting up DKIM.

"who have chosen to mostly rely on the US military for their own national security"

I often wonder if statements like this are disingenuous. The US military "polices" parts of the world where American interests lie; ie Natural resources, supply chains, potential markets for American companies to exploit. When you say countries "choose" American military protection you are not considering the considerable economic pressure America can leverage when it wants something you have. In developing countries this can be a difficult choice too. By not spending on military you can spend elsewhere. Even if that means resources end up in the hands of politicians directly; which is no different to any first world country.

Yes I don't understand why so much focus has been put on the failure of the technology rather than the failure of the back up driver. We all know that self-driving technology does not exist yet, that is why the back up driver is there. If you have driven at night you will know that a human can see much further than what is shown on the video footage of this incident and so it should be clear that the human back up driver was to blame. Unfortunately for her, the fact that she was not only not watching the road but distracted by a TV show makes any claim that she was not negligent very hard to defend.

I agree that Zuse deserves to be much better known, though I think he is actually better known than this machine, and the people who created it.

While I agree that, conceptually, there is little difference between a program on tape and one in working memory, the latter has a huge speed advantage. More intriguingly, I believe it was thought at the time that the ability of a program to modify itself would be very useful. Turing had already shown that it did not expand what is computable (though I do not know if that was widely appreciated), but even so, when you have very little, and slow, working memory, if it allowed you to reduce the size or speed of your program, that might be a big deal. Even the early COBOL allowed for limited self-modification, in the form of a goto that could be modified during execution to go to different addresses. The problem with self-modifying code turned out to be that it is very hard to reason about and debug.

There's no "extrapolation" involved -- just empirical observation of humans and gorillas. I mean, do you think there's a serious possibility that gorillas have language and we just haven't noticed? That seems about as plausible as the idea that penguins can secretly fly, or that tigers don't actually have fur. You don't need a fancy experiment to figure this stuff out. The people doing the fancy experiments were trying to find support for an inherently implausible hypothesis (that gorillas have a dormant linguistic capacity), and failed to find any such evidence. Case closed. Thanks to their pointless research program, we are now even more*
sure that gorillas don't have language than we were before.

>I used Sentinelese just as an example to bring out the fact that we would jump to the conclusion that they have a language just because they are human

Well, yes, and we would jump to the conclusion that a pig couldn't fly just because it's a pig. So there's no sense in which that kind of argument is limited to humans. We know enough about humans to know that any human society will have a language, and we know enough about gorillas to know that they don't have language.
Ask HN: Should I go back to school?
I attended a bootcamp and got a job, and have been employed for the past two years now. I've been wondering if it's still worth it to go back to school. I'd probably go through a post-bacc like Oregon State University's online post-bacc CS degree, but I'd have to go through a couple of years of community college to re-learn a lot of math (I didn't have much high-level math in my liberal arts undergrad). It's also to bring up my GPA a little for the GPA requirement. What does HN recommend?
Start with double-entry accounting on paper, until you don't learn anything new going through the process. Then you'll be in a position to pick an automation system that works with your process.

You'll need two notebooks:

Start with a transaction journal, where you record your purchases -- amount, how you paid, what you bought, etc. For most things, this is as simple as taping the receipt in.

Your account book has one page per account (method of payment or expense category). Once a week, subtotal all the new transactions by account. Make sure the subtotals balance (sum(expenses) = sum(payments)), and add a line to the relevant page in your account book -- Dates of transactions covered (to crossreference with the journal), subtotal amount, running total.
>For example I don't support the UAW due to their long history of using the state to increase their market power.

That's a fair caveat from a libertarian standpoint. It's just that most of the self-declared libertarians I meet seem to have the idea that the state should forbid unions from interfering with their idea of a free market. Which sounds very unlibertarian to me.
