More to the point, what about the "exorbitant privilege" the USA enjoys from having the worlds reserve currency?
If other nations make a concerted effort to ditch this set up, the USA can no longer run massive deficits. Imagine the USA trying to run a balanced budget immediately.

I thought an "interesting" part of the change was actually how they made a 50% chance work for the extra read. They select across a closed channel twice -- and it results in a mostly even distribution of chance.

for i := 0; i < 100000; i++ {
select {
case <-closedChan:
a++
case <-closedChan:
b++
case <-closedChan:
c++
case <-closedChan:
d++
}
}

Results in an almost even distribution across the select choices!

Well no. Definitionally you can’t be progressive AND be advocating for the status quo. They’re in opposition to each other.
Yes, these sound like good ideas... I'm not a big C++ language nerd and not in a good position to judge whether this is valuable or navel gazing. But, as bystander who only dips into C++ a few times a year, I see these antics and wonder if the language would be better off with a benevolent dictator who can actually get a feature out the door, even if it's less than perfect.

I remember watching Gor Nishanov's CppCon talk from 2015(!), learning a lot, seeing a working implementation, and getting really fired up about this feature. Now it's 2018 and it's back to the drawing board? What happened? Was Google the smart kid in high school who skips class and waits until the last second to do their homework? I know the committee has only the best intentions, but with stuff like this they're their own worst enemy.

I think the Chinese Communist Party and Chinese industry in general was built up by the global elites, not by a bunch of Chinese farmers. They want China to be the model for the eventual one-world government that they’re playing towards.

You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to see that we’ve been sold out. At the very least, “Made in China” is a curse that the general conspiracy of corruption has put on us. In my opinion though, all the major world leaders are puppets who’ve been bought and paid for and are easily controlled.

I know HN hates conspiracy talk but IMO the unity of opposites dictates that if there are altruistic groups of people, there are evil groups of people and it’s not that far-fetched to believe that some rich and powerful people might get together and try to rule the world once in a while.

It is pretty late. I mentioned early 1900s to capture the steel era, which was when unions became popular in the US. You had a lot of worker's movements in Europe long before then (french revolution anyone?).

I don't know exactly why meat is subsidized so much but I do remember that the US was very concerned about being self sufficient during it's isolationist period before WW1/2. This was the era of the great depression where a lack of stability in grain prices (really in the economy as a whole) put into question the nation's ability to feed itself, as farmers were going under and production was so volatile (dust bowl era as well).

This led to the US government stepping in to set up policies to control grain and food prices, stabilizing farmers and food production.

I think one unintended effect was the massive spike in production of cheap grains like corn. Because corn was in over abundance due to the profitability of it (due to subsidies), we needed other ways to consume it - corn syrup, corn starch, etc. Corn is also used as the primary feed for beef cows.

Some conspiracy people think that there's a huge farming lobby that makes farming extremely profitable. It's probably only a bit true.

The reality is that if meat got more expensive due to a reduction in subsidies, it could be a PR nightmare for the gov't administration due to the American love for meat, and a perceived standard of living drop. And while the American diet is changing, even healthy US diets still have a substantially larger quantity of meat in them than the rest of the world.

If we could force the cops to always use the tool in a way that is consistent with its limitations, then you might be right.

Unfortunately, cops are not technologists. They're not mathematicians. They don't understand the dangers of applying a solution that is right 99% of the time to a population of 300 million people, and if each person averaged appearing on just one camera per day, that would mean three million false identifications per day.

How many real criminals are they really looking for on a daily basis, and which would warrant such a dragnet measure?

They can't handle a false positive rate like that. They can't be running around like chickens with their heads cut off, trying to verify the millions of bogus hits against the tiny fraction of potential valid ones.

It's the same problem that the TSA has, only these are real police with real guns. And real people are going to get killed because they get mis-identified, as opposed to just inconvenienced and pulled aside for extra scanning.

Do you really want to make the cops as bad as the TSA?

I'm not so interested in making an argument about how language ought be used today as three other major objectives:

First, to understand how we got here. Looking back at either the evolution of words, or the relationships between words, of topics of current significance.

Second, to understand older language and writing in the meanings of its time. Words shift. The word perfect meant, in the late 18th / early 19th century, not "flawless", but "fully developed", a distinction that's particularly critical in looking at discussions of biology and evolution. The term "art" (or artifice) for example, today might mean or carry connotations of deception, but in the 17th century would have a far stronger sense of craft.

Another phrase with an interesting evolution is sophisticated, originally meaning "adulterated" or "perverted", now meaning "worldly" or "advanced". That shift occurred principally ~1930 - 1950, a date from which I've several dictionaries, showing the shift. A friend turned up the earlier sense from an 1880s dictionary. The word pollution has a markedly different connotation today than it would have even a century ago. And the etymology of vodka is (retrospectively) obvious and amusing.

Combine this with use of Google's Ngram Viewer to trace the prevalence of words (or phrases) in usage, and evolution of language becomes even more fascinating. The modernity of a tremendous number of contemporary concepts is stark -- and I'm excluding the information-technology field. The 1930s, 50s, and 70s in particular seem to be watersheds, especially for terms about or concerning economics and politics or political issues (areas on which I've somewhat focused). The number of pat phrases which are unabashadly political, say, "Rugged Individualism* (February, 1928, Herbert Hoover).[1]

There's the case of an editorial war over British and U.S. editions of an encyclopaedia I turned up a ways back, concerning the concept of "free trade", showing a certain evolution of meaning and/or acceptance:

https://www.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/4xe2k1/chamber...

Third, there's looking at notions which today are so infused with their present meaning that we're much as David Foster Wallace's fish contemplating water: "what's water?" The terms typically used in physics are one set ("mass" comes from "barley cake", as an example), and concepts of truth, trust, knowledge, understanding, and communication quite particularly, as mentioned above. Some economic terms as well -- monopoly as an example:

I already emailed the creator a couple weeks back to request / offer a torrent, but haven't heard anything back.

The problem here is that both of your suggestions involve a 2-step process:

1. Download the file

2. Create a torrent from it, or upload it to IPFS

Since step 1 is already a 2TB download, getting to either version of step 2 is untenable. I agree with one of the other posters in this thread, the default for something like this should be torrent since you get both distribution and checksumming for free.

It would also be nice if it wasn't a 2TB zip file, which then has to be unzipped onto another 2TB of storage for practical use.
Those countries are a different culture. Some of these things are seen as personal failings. There is also more reliance on family than govt or charity --the tradition for charity is limited.

To be frank, I like seeing the government doing something to protect against unfair trade practices. At the same time, I wish unions would go back to their roots and work to protect workers rather than their current raison d'etre which is to perpetuate itself.

When was the last time Unions demanded their reps push back on unfair trade?

Shipping is weird because of cargo loads. It is similar to the airline industry in that as long as you ship enough at a price to cover the operation cost, anything else can theoretically be shipped for free.

Routes with high volume usage can take advantage of this and have lower operation costs per unit because the cost is better distributed. So if shipping anywhere is a fixed cost, then yes, you are technically subsidizing less trafficked areas.

Volume and cost efficiency is a hard problem to solve, because getting the cost of shipping down is essentially optimizing for this.

The abstract:
Many observers, and many investors, believe that young people are especially likely to produce the most successful new firms. We use administrative data at the U.S. Census Bureau to study the ages of founders of growth-oriented start-ups in the past decade. Our primary finding is that successful entrepreneurs are middle-aged, not young. The mean founder age for the 1 in 1,000 fastest growing new ventures is 45.0. The findings are broadly similar when considering high-technology sectors, entrepreneurial hubs, and successful firm exits. Prior experience in the specific industry predicts much greater rates of entrepreneurial success. These findings strongly reject common hypotheses that emphasize youth as a key trait of successful entrepreneurs.

> It is like asking: what is the evolutionary advantage of a broken leg? Sometimes things go wrong and the result is pain.

Pain and femurs are the result of over 3 billion years of evolution from prokaryotes (the simplest of single-celled organisms) to modern humans. It's a good question: What was the advantage that led to leg bones, and in particular to leg bones that break under that kind and direction of stress? Why not stronger or weaker? Why not more shear and less compression strength? What was the advantage of a nervous system, including one that produces pain, and one that produces that amount of pain or continuous pain?

> many kinds of failures show up after the typical reproductive window. There is little evolutionary pressure to prevent such failure mechanisms.

Pain occurs throughout life. Also, after reproduction successful organisms, at least of the human variety, raise and prepare their offspring for life, and even the offspring of their offspring.

I've noticed similar in some European cities in terms of an apparent higher average density. I've always attributed it to cities that have existed longer, and that were already significantly more established by the time technology (bicycles, trains, cars) helped people commute further.

In the absence of this technology, I've always assumed people tended to stay more local, which meant that cities ended up a cluster of local communities, rather than one large central district with a large number of commuters.

That said, this seems to conflict with the example of Tokyo, which I understand was significantly rebuilt after the second world war.
Right, but extreme pain is far more than is needed for the person to grasp that there is something wrong with their finger. In fact, it inhibits the person from doing anything about their finger.

> With solar, you can wear long sleeves, a hat, gloves and maybe some sunscreen on your face and you are very, very protected. To get the same kind of assurance in a nuclear plant you need significant infrastructure (or a lead suit).

Statistically, I have met people who will die of skin cancer caused by sunlight. Including quite possibly my grandfather.

Sure, you can say the blame lies with them, but the fact is that there are mountains of evidence that we don't manage ambient sunlight to a standard that would be acceptable in an industrial setting.

> You are spreading misinformation on the internet, and this is not good. Please don't do that.

No, I'm pointing out that people are irrational when it comes to radiation risk. In practice, it is completely plausible that a normally operating solar plant is more carcinogenic than a normally operating nuclear plant. Given how rare nuclear distasters are, and how overblown the responses are [1], it is even plausible that they are more carcinogenic than a failed nuclear plant in the modern era.

The risk of both solar and nuclear are low in practical terms.
