That's such an apples-to-oranges comparison...

There is nothing Apple can do to preserve their Chinese user's privacy against their own government. Either they stay in China and allow the government to access their citizen's data, or they leave China and another phone manufacturer will allow the government to access their citizen's data.

Google on the other hand is under no such pressure to violate their user's privacy. They could stop at any time, but have decided that the increased revenue and margins they can extract from the data is more valuable than their user's privacy.

This seems so obvious to me, I don't understand why this false equivalence is brought up so often.
Lucky uses type safety extensively preventing a lot of bugs. My team really enjoys working with it. You should definitely check it out.

That's great! I've only heard complaints that it's difficult to statically compile. Sounds like a solved problem though.
For sure. I've had a lot of fun getting to be the person to create some basic libraries for things like image manipulation and an ORM for mongodb when I find no one else has done that yet.

One big thing that is missing still is full google cloud platform and AWS libraries. There is an s3 connector but I think it's out of date.
This was during pre-flight when normally all they play anyway is ads that you can't turn off.
We cannot escape the government. We can choose to ignore any or all companies. If I want to, I can lock myself in my house, disconnect from society, and subsist on my backyard garden. But there is no escape from the state. Even if I go completely off-grid and never leave my property, the state still comes banging on my door, demanding a rent payment for property I (supposedly) own -- i.e., property tax.

Of course the killer has committed the worst crime, no doubt about that. But I think we are being conditioned into extremely fast blame games sometimes. These things wouldn't happen in a more evolved society. When is society to blame?
Some people (myself included) actually want the type safety and method overloading etc. Also you can only make a dynamic language so fast before there are inherent trade-offs.
Also Google will use your calendar to populate the list of destinations -- I think.
ELI5 quantum computing since I’m a total noob at it.
Thank you. This drives me crazy as well. (Related: roads that have both names and highway numbers, but the map shows one and not the other, regardless of zoom level.)
Why would this only apply to using a quantum random number to make a decision?

Also, what do you find terrifying about the existence of multiple universes where every possible outcome of a decision you make plays out?
Thanks! These instructions seem to have less warnings than I saw last time, which implies it's more stable now.
Additionally, they're a real pain to melt down profitably, even if it were legal. It only makes sense at very large scale, which means only the companies that invest in big foundries will be making real money if it ever becomes legal to use copper pennies for copper.

A good analogy would be like collecting aluminum cans XD
Is there any other source to suggest 2 cuts rather than one?
Society is far too rigid. We have people who are harmless, who can't cope with the horrible full time jobs we force people into via high land rent, who are kicked to the edge of society.

We need a choice and that choice comes with cheap rent as a prerequisite. Yet our institutions strive for the opposite.

I'd disagree that it's easy to survive. Many people in good jobs are now one bad week away from ruin.
I'd love to use stitchfix, but they continue the tired trend of clothing retailers not selling clothes in my size. I have a friend who wears a 30/36 jeans, and he buys all his clothes from a cowboy store in Arizona. I'd rather not have to go down that path but clothes that fit me seem harder to come by every year
>how far south or north is the breakeven point

Depends on the person. If you're used to using A/C and you take it for granted you'll use it a heck of a lot more. I used to sit in DC traffic in a black truck with no A/C every day on my way home and sitting in traffic was the part that sucked. The temperature wasn't an issue because it's what I was used to. I'm fine with box fans around the house.

My girlfriend starts complaining and wants me to put the window A/C in when the temperature hits 80ish.

Guess who was raised where A/C was common and who wasn't.

Temperatures in North America are such that with proper ventilation A/C is in fact optional (though it's certainly nice in some places). Whether or not people use it is mostly based on availability and culture. If you convinced everyone that A/C or heating is for liberals the "A/C vs heating" break-even map in the US would look a lot like the red/blue voting map which would be kinda funny.
I've moved beyond that. I discard all change, ruthlessly. If there's somebody nearby who wants them, I give them the whole handful of change. Otherwise it all goes in the trash on the way out of the store.

Used to wear holes in my pants pockets, get stuck in dryer etc. Cost more than it was worth, in wear and tear, and in emotional energy to manage it.

You can't imagine the freedom you feel when you discard your first handful of change! Just toss it and walk away!
I’m just putting the pieces together and summarising what was said. The implication from the person I replied to was that they’re due to deliver people cars and they need money to produce these (or survive long enough to produce them). Seems less than rosy tbh
FWIW, the Euro is coins from €0.01 to €2, then paper from €5 to €500. I find dollar bills even more annoying than pennies.
It's not really possible for a single ISP to get to the level of quality that has no hours at a time outages. For minutes per year outages level quality you need at least two ISPs independent from each other and not sharing infrastructure. Which means they won't even be available to consumers in the US and other countries, where internet access market is monopolized. I mean I can't imagine a law mandating ISPs to effectively split into two companies with each providing an independent link to the premises and all that. But when there is a competition a consumer at least has an option to just pay for multiple links to multiple ISPs.

I reckon they'll have a hard time taking on google maps. Google maps is for all intents and purposes a complete solution. Does what it says & has no obvious shortcomings.

Baring some massive leap in AI I don't see anyone gaining market share against a well known perfectly good solution.
You just publicly outed someone who stuck his neck out for you by lying about your performance. People get sued for that. I would toss your resume in the trash just for your lack of discretion. I strongly suggest scrubbing any real names from your post, if not for your sake then for theirs.
I think you've written that QM is in part probability math using complex numbers. I've also read that human decision making doesn't map well to classical probability. Do you know if QM/"complex probability" has been used to build better models of human decision making?
Crystal supports static linking with `--static`, unfortunately glibc and openssl don't like static linking, so it turns out to be easier to do in an alpine linux chroot/container/etc which uses musl instead of glibc. Crystal is in the alpine linux repositories as of 3.8, so this should be now a lot easier.

If someone wants to generate some good tooling around this workflow, it'd be greatly appreciated.
So do what most people do: don't pay with cash.

You mean tack on 2-3% processing fees on every transaction?

is quite self-centered.

* ahem * . All I'm asking is $0.04/transaction at most, regardless of transaction size. But because you don't want to use cash, you'd like much more than four cents tacked on?
Practice makes perfect. Some people are born with the ability to learn some topics faster than others but over time hard work will always bear results. You can learn math/logic/etc the same way any college student learns.

Here in Canada we got rid of the penny some years ago. If you're paying with cash, the total just gets rounded at the register. Honestly I don't miss it.

Will they finally create a map app that shows street names? Even Google can't seem to accomplish this without a ton of scrolling around and zooming in and out to get the name to show up.

These apps are really more for navigation than maps in my experience.

Yeah, this sort of thing is commonplace. Suggesting caution is often called out as “blaming the victim”.

> a 98% conviction rate

Quoting wikipedia:

> In Japan, the criminal justice system has a conviction rate that exceeds 99% (Note that it includes guilty plea cases.), which has been attributed to low prosecutorial budgets impelling understaffed prosecutors to present judges with only the most obviously guilty defendants.

This has ripples all the way back through the Japanese criminal-justice system. The police don't bother to even investigate crimes with merely circumstantial evidence, because such cases are unlikely to be prosecuted. So nobody bothers to even report such crimes, and so they're far easier to get away with and more prevalent.

I wouldn't describe such an environment as particularly "civilized."

Any Julia programmers who have tried Crystal? I've never quite seen the point with Crystal when you got something like Julia. Although I guess there is a value in familiarity.

I was a big fan of Ruby back in the day, but I just feel that our understanding of what makes good language design has evolved since then. The heavy OOP focus in Ruby seems very 90s in retrospect.

I don't think it makes sense to restrict dispatch on single objects. Real world problems often don't fit that paradigm.
PDF stable? The only party that properly renders PDFs is the one that came up with the format, it's as bad as Microsoft Word in terms of interop.

That it is a supposedly open format is a joke, there is so much old cruft in there that you could implement if you had access to Adobe's source code but unfortunately nobody but Adobe does.

PostScript (which PDF is a restricted version of in many ways) is clean, but PDF is not.

So Europeans were sending 2 euro coins for recycling to China. The kind with two metals, white metal in the center surrounded by a yellow metal ring. To destroy them first, they just punched out the center inner white metal. Enterprising Chinese recyclers, instead of melting the metals, were putting them back together :)

I think oracle separations are currently only useful as barrier results, showing that certain proof techniques can't solve the full problem.
The claim was that "all cryptographic codes that depend on the adversary having limited computing power would be broken."

Here's a (very slightly) more rigorous justification:

If P=NP, then any NP problem is in P with at most a polynomial slowdown. That is, if there's an algorithm taking T steps on a non-deterministic Turing machine, we can solve it on a deterministic Turing machine in f(T) steps, where f is a polynomial. Presumably, a "practical" algorithm would be one for which f has a low degree.

The kinds of algorithms we're concerned about in cryptography (and plenty of other fields) already have low time complexity. For example, generating or verifying an HMAC is O(n) in the length of the input. So if we had a way to solve NP problems with a low-degree polynomial slowdown, we could break HMACs in low-degree polynomial time.

It doesn't matter that there are O(n^1000) problems out there that would still be realistically unsolvable, because those problems don't have practical applications in the first place.
Exhaustive matching is on the cards, parallelism is coming, and any type system changes in the future will be minimal.

And yes, crystal isn't trying to be C, but you can still do many of the low-level things that you can do in C. It'd be nice to know what exactly you were missing from Crystal.
I never used a JVM language before the JIT compiler, so I have no personal experience with the speedup it introduced. But if Lua (and LuaJIT) are any indication, I am super excited for BEAMJIT.

For BEAMJIT, I can imagine that the same work will take a different number of reductions before and after the JIT compiler has modified the code. Are there going to be any scheduling issues that will arise because of these reduction changes (or any other aspects of the JIT compiler)?
How a Chinese businessman became the largest supplier of pyrotechnics in the US
Removed that part. Not sure how naming other real names hurts them at all. Everyone else mentioned in this blog post did only good. The only thing they could be faulted for is giving me a chance, and they couldn't have known better at the time, so I really don't see what would be the benefit in changing any real names.
My perception (and apparently that of those asked in the survey) is that conservative opinion gets a disproportionate amount of "I just flag it and move on" treatment.

I would wager a large sum of money that if left-wing opinion were treated in the same way there would be much whining about minority rights and the importance of an individual's free speech from the left.
I have American friends and co-workers and I continue to be amazed that smart people can’t look across the border and say “Oh, that works” and copy.

Canadians can be almost as blind, the recent battle to legalize marijuana was a good example, I can’t count the number of times I said “that’s not what happened in the US”

Health care is particularly bizarre. I’ve had Americans tell me about Canadians dying in droves in Emergency Rooms while standing on the shore of the St. Lawrence. I felt like screaming “Canada is right there, you can see the flags!” How could they know so little about us when they shop and go to the theatre in Montreal?

> the paleolithic era. That was probably peak human freedom, at least in my opinion

A bit much no?

The paleolithic era was when you'd get killed by some beast while walking through a field, killed by an arrow from some tribe nearby, or die by the age of 30 from the simple common cold.

By "free" you mean less responsibility? You didn't have to work and worry about a roof over your head?

Occasionally I'm surprised at the little pockets of "anti-tech" that pop up in the HN crowd. Perhaps we just burn out on tech sometimes?

People forget what a boon to human kind, to the human mind such things like inexpensive artificial light, mechanized temperature control, industrial farming and manufacturing and such really are.

Its fun to play at virtue by switching off the AC and popping open window (thinking that the AC is some sort of sin of weakness) while completely forgetting that you've never had malaria because AC is ubiquitous in your area.

We are, perhaps, rightly gun-shy of trusting too much in technology because of some last century's indiscretions, but I don't think that a return to the age of cholera is the solution. At some point, we're going to have to get over it and have some hope again that we can use the fantastic tools of human science to start fixing some the the big problems.

That's a long way of saying that the answer is not to turn off the AC (and smugly tell the developing world that they're not allowed to have it either), the answer is to find a better way to power everyone's AC without doing the damage to our world that it previously did.

We are up to the challenge.

I even walked into an Apple Store, found an iPad, and submitted a correction request once. That was almost two years ago. For a long time, every time I'd pass that Apple Store, I'd walk in, go to an iPad, and search my house on Apple Maps to see if they accepted my request. They never ever fixed it. I don't think they ever did, though it's been a few months since I gave up checking so who knows.

Until Lyft banned Apple Maps, I'd have to call drivers in advance to make sure they weren't using Apple, and if they said they were, I'd cancel on them (I still do this for Waze users, because Waze can't path to my house).

I'm a huge fan of libraries and grew up in Detroit. Most of the articles are how libraries are slowly moving away from entirely books and going digital.

Detroit has some unique problems and libraries are changing to fill them. Not solely providing computers to sign up for food stamps in a city where 70% of residents lack home Internet access. But as the story shows helping people find jobs and work to find affordable housing.

Sadly two thirds of the cities libraries have closed in the past twenty years, victims of Detroit's financial problems.
