It’s not so much just mechanics as a state of mind. In my experience, if you keep looking at the ground you are in your head doubting yourself all the time, whereas just looking at other people prevents that and somehow gives you more confidence.

That said, proper posture also relaxes your body and an upward head tilt (make sure your monitor is at an eye level) makes breathing easier, even further adding to that[1][2]. Also prevents back pain issues later in life (I hope!).

Don’t treat it as gospel but it’s a good starting place:

Steam does this to an extent with game reviews. Old reviews aren't removed, but they show separate ratings of "Recent Reviews" and "All Reviews", effectively reducing the potency of old reviews.

You might not have visited China, then. If you stay within the WeChat payment network system instead of stepping out through bank interchanges, you see end-to-end payment friction at well lower than 1%. There is plenty of room to innovate yet, and drive costs even lower for this utility, which arguably can be a government-delivered utility at some point in the future.
The moral compass has shifted and Silicon Valley has learned to embrace censorship, at home and abroad.
However good or bad the product is, I would be very surprised if the Chinese government would allow Google to win significant market share against domestic companies. They might want Google in China for leverage, but they certainly wouldn't want them to be dominant.
> Nor can you farm most crops meaningfully on 20 acre plots either.

Perhaps your definition of crop is too narrow. Something like hops is well suited to "commercial" sizes starting at 20 acres.[1]

Vineyards supplying a co-operative? 20 acres of fruit trees for boutique cider production?

I think there's probably quite a few examples of 20 acre crops which are sustainable commercially.

Not sure why you think an editor should refresh it's view port 60 times per second while idle.
Emojis are the new punctuation marks. Displaying emotions in written text started at some point with the exclamation mark, which over time evolved and shifted in meaning. At some point !!! become a different meaning then a single !, and !? was added too. But then someone developed the smilie and the 90's was all about :-) and ;-> and sometimes even =^o^=. But it was kinda hard to write on mobile devices and took too much space in SMS. So the emojis were invented, standards were created and at some point universal support was established and the explosion of usage begun. Now people can communicate emotional without the need to write lengthly words.

> The widespread use of preemptive concurrency for reasons aside from parallelism, demonstrates my point.

If your point is that kernel threads are more attractive that the alternative, once they already exist, then yes, but that continues to miss refuting my assertion.

Using something ("off label"[1]) once it's already there, isn't the same thing as wanting/needing it in the first place.

[1] consistent with my assertion that the "label" for threading specifies its use for multiprocessor support. After all, how did the early X server or Sun's NeWS manage to be so responsive before all that newfangled threading stuff in the 90s?

They actually have quite powerful tools, with a graph of reviews over time, the ability to select a custom time range from that, ..., I quite like their system.

Indeed, thankfully with projects creating open document formats, Microsoft has added support for such formats to Microsoft Office over the years. Surprised the more open formats have not yet won. I wish Microsoft would just tell the world, okay we're going to work with the open source community to improve these open document formats and make the world a better place. Would be nice to have collections of documents that can just be saved in openly defined formats instead of ".doc" or ".docx" or even a PDF.

>(Indeed, when it came to light that some insurance companies were just sitting on unclaimed payments for small-dollar life insurance policies, the regulators had them reopen the books going back sixty years.)

Doesn't this undermine your point? Insurers were plenty happy to sit on life insurance payments and not even attempt to figure out who to pay them to, thus betraying what you state as their #1 rule and jousting with regulators and the public over actuarially insignificant improvements in their loss rates.
It's a competitive world full of highly ambitious people. As long as the only tool they have to create/expand/defend their empires is moat building that is all they will robotically do irrespective of the cost.

The pressure on them to do so is massive. And it's the easiest thing for them to do. So they do it.

Ofcourse things constantly collapse. Ask Genghis Khan, the East India Company etc etc And after collapse everyone stands around like Alan Greenspan saying wtf happened?

I’m not arguing that scripting or batching is not useful - I’m only arguing that that a CLI is usually not a good base to build the GUI on top of.

Having a libsomeghing and a something-cli and something-gui is a perfectly good solution, but usually not if the GUI calls the CLI instead of the lib.
Tang is smart, but the author of this piece is unfairly characterizing Aaronson's beliefs and the nature of the P=NP problem.

I don't know a single mathematician or computer scientist researcher that thinks that P=NP is likely. I know they exist, based on this poll[0], but in practice P equaling NP would be incredibly surprising. And even if it does somehow, I highly doubt the equality would practically hold.

The reason I think it is fair for Aaronson to operate as if P!=NP is that even if it is unproven, it doesn't mean we can't make judgements about its relative likelihood. I haven't proven that all beetles are slower than the fastest cheetah, but based on what I understand about cheetahs and beetles I can operate as if I do and change my mind if I'm proven wrong. I think it's less likely that P=NP than it is that a beetle can outrace a cheetah.

It increases the difficulty to repair by adding accidental cost to repair shops. It also makes using aftermarket parts harder.

In the end, it's about revenue for the OEM's. Quicker, more expensive breakdowns leads to buying new cars faster rather than repairing old ones. Those sorts of things are business choices, not engineering ones.
I don't think it decreases the overall memory use of small strings - it just moves that use from the string struct to the character buffer. Bear in mind that in this design, the character buffer is never shared between multiple string structs; they each own their own separate buffer. If you want multiple references to the same string, you would use several pointers to a string struct, rather than having several string structs sharing the same buffer.

If you're coming from a GC'd language like Java, Ruby, etc, then there's a bit of a mindset shift around strings.
There's a variety of reasons why people look at the ground.

For me, for one, I got cats, I don't wanna trip over them. Especially not with my kid. I tend to bump my feet a lot on my kid's toys and other stuff or objects lying on the ground (even permanently or slightly moved). And I need to be careful when I walk downstairs because I am clumsy. I hate, absolutely hate, stepping into dog shit when I'm out and about. If I'd step on a slug, that'd be disgusting but dog shit is a whole different level. And its rampant here. Finally, many 'normal' people use smartphones whilst on the move (I personally generally don't). That being said, I do try to look straight, I try to look people in the eye, but that's secondary to the above examples. Which are IMO related to survival and conveniency.

As for your linked Wikipedia article, quoting from it:

"However, one of the main assumptions of the Gokhale Method, that people in less industrialized societies have less back pain,[4] is incorrect: mainstream science states back pain occurs to a similar extent in all cultures.[20][21] As of June 2015, the Gokhale method had not yet been scientifically studied."

Furthermore I encourage the reader to read up on the Feldenkrais method. This Wikipedia entry shows how controversial it is (Gokhale method seems to be based on that).

It sounds like you think there are more products hidden by one star reviews on shipping than boosted by fake 5 star reviews. The former is not presently a problem on amazon (because they block shipping comments). The latter is a real problem that you will face every time you search for any product where there is any competition.

I'm guessing the reason for the restriction was the risk of people stealing it or razoring pages out - something that happens with some frequency with out of print art books.

It's even more of an issue with books which have images of obscure flora and fauna, at least with an art book if there's demand for a really good picture of a sculpture or painting you can pay someone to go take one, with pictures of rare mushrooms you'd have to go to huge lengths just to find them let alone get good pictures of intact specimens.

> To me the biggest mystery about the 2008 crisis is why so much QE has resulted in so little inflation.

The IS-LM model has a phenomenon called the "(Hicksian) liquidity trap"

* http://people.ds.cam.ac.uk/mb65/library/boianovsky-2004.pdf

How it applies to quantitative easing (QE):

* https://pro.creditwritedowns.com/2010/10/on-liquidity-traps-...

Basically, as the the rate of interest goes down, the demand for money increases (because it becomes cheap(er) to borrow). This is why when the economy tanks, central banks lower interest rates: cheap money encourages people / business to borrow and spend (thus increasing demand, and stimulating the economy).

However, at a certain point the demand for money becomes perfectly elastic. This is the generally when the interest rate is zero, which is where we were at from 2008 and for some years. The interest rates can't go negative (well, mathematically they can, but practically they generally don't (with some exceptions)).

This is called the zero lower bound, and once you're here, IS-LM says that you can print money without worrying about inflation too much:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_lower_bound

Once you do see the economy recovering (through un/employment rates and inflation), you stop printing money and start increasing interest rates.

I know some people on HN like to rag on Krugman, but he was saying all of this over the last ten years, and has generally been correct. All of the above is fairly straight forward IS-LM (which he exposes).

The Great Recession has been pretty good as a "scientific" experiment to see whose predictions were accurate: turns out the demand-side Keynesians were pretty good, and the Chicago-school supply-side folks were not.

That's the thing with a vpn - it is just a single component of a fully setup network. The vpn documentation generally just covers how to setup the vpn connection. The routing and rest of the network setup, as per the questions you are asking, generally falls out of its domain and into general networks.. which is quite a huge area!
The records themselves are centralized. You can't get an authoritative name from anywhere except the authoritative name server. Everything else is just caching and proxying. If a domain's authoritative name server is down, you can't get records for that domain.

In a decentralized protocol, other name servers that had nothing to do with that domain could give you the records for the downed nodes. But how do we know it's authentic, or up to date? And now we go down the decentralization rabbit hole...

Each journal is different in what they allow to be shared. There are primarily three "versions" of the paper:

1. Pre-review, pre-print: i.e. the journal had no part in the paper up to this point

2. Post-print: Changes have been made to satisfy the reviewers' comments. Contains all the final content that will be published

3. Publisher's version: The publisher has done copy-editing (layout changes), and probably adjusted it to fit whatever style their journal is.

Your points about these things are right in that you can’t just randomly apply a quota anywhere in the process and expect a good result. Eg the solution to discrimination in the justice system is probably not to put more white people in jail for no reason. But if everybody received the same punishment for the same crime, that would actually happen.

“Blindness” is ideal once people get into the stages of the process where they are being evaluated on an individual level. It should be the goal.

Quotas are not targeted at those problems.

The important piece that a lot of us people seem to miss is that the ongoing effect of historical racism and sexism messes things up and creates unfairness before people even get in the room. Massive unfairness. Compounded in a thousand different ways over somebody’s life. Creating pressure away from one kind of life and towards another simply through historical inertia, because for most of history people like them did not have full rights as human beings.

Quotas seem bad at solving the problems you point out because they are not for that. They are an attempt to measure, and correct for, much bigger trends.

Well-designed quotas at the right places in processes could let the pool of people (who are then evaluated blindly) be a much more representative group. Quotas (or some other measurement) would let you know if some proxies for discrimination were still getting through the process.

Insurance companies my not use race, but a zip code can be a proxy for race, and the kind of neighborhood a person lives in can make them more likely to suffer a break-in or make a claim for some other reason.

I really do believe that it’s impossible to treat people as individuals with 100% certainty that that’s what you are doing. No matter how hard you try. Even in all the examples you gave, there is progress but things are not done.

Hopefully this makes my point more clear.
It depends. ie one dictionary definition:

Asian

2. in the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, belonging to or relating to China, Japan, or countries near them
​

3. in the UK, belonging to or relating to India, Pakistan, or countries near them
It's not a "modern" tradition.
You really need to get that fixed, as you are severely handicapped without UDP. Apart from existing UDP usecases, the general progression is away from TCP and onto UDP. QUIC is an example of such progression.

The reason Wireguard doesn't do TCP is that it is only a handicap for tunneling, and impedes Wireguard's connectionless features. Maybe Wireguard could add it as a compat option, but the experience will be worse than over UDP.

In the meantime, making a hacky UDP<->TCP<->UDP proxy isn't very hard. Less than 100 lines of Go. It'll handicap Wireguard quite a bit (even more than a built-in TCP compat feature), but it'll probably still be faster than OpenVPN.
