> Software that you write is software that you have to maintain. Forever. Don’t succumb to NIH when there’s a well supported public solution that fits just as well (or even almost as well).

While this idea has a lot of merit, it's not as black-and-white. (Most things in the world aren't, too.)

But the sum of them is infinity, right?

And I thought we are talking about kids? There are not many kids who would understand the professors way.

So isn't it first about making them understand the concept of infinity? That they can imagine it, before you bombard them with other abstract math concepts?
Agree. Scientists love confusing and weird names.

For me, back in school days (or was it university?) it was a revelation when I came across quaternions. It suddenly clicked. I finally understood that there was nothing special about complex numbers (despite their special names and weird look). It was just an extension and a very intuitive one!

I finally understood that real numbers are the same thing:
tuples. They just happen to have exactly one element, hence we omit parens and everything else and just write that element (number)!
Complex numbers have 2 elements (real and imaginary). Quaternions - four. And so on.

I’m confused, and after skimming through the paper I’m still not sure.

How does this work after the handshake network launches?

If I register a new domain with ICANN, but do not register it with Handshake, can someone else? And if not, doesn’t that mean ICANN is still the central authority for domain names? (Including transfers)

It seems like the existing root zone & handshake will immediately fork, and then how will 3rd parties determines which root zone is correct? Doesn’t that still mean existing CA’s could simply update the root zone (regardless of handshake) (which is the existing problem with bad actor CA’s).

I’m probably missing something here, could anyone elaborate?
Inverter drive home AC systems that are reasonably priced do exist, you can get a mini split for under $1000 now with variable drive compressor and fans. I was shocked last time i looked that up actually, as i had similar thoughts a few years ago for this application and barely anything was on the market.

There's also inverter drive microwaves, and fridges even. My friend's new condo has an inverter drive fridge
Debit cards in The Netherlands are almost exclusively MaestroCard, which is why it's so difficult to find a place that accepts credit card. It's also why The Netherlands developed it's own national online payment system - people didn't have a lot of existing options.
I'm downvoting you. (Others are also.)

If you want to know why, I'll explain. You made a bad initial argument, which seemed to be motivated by having a political axe to grind. Since then, your replies have looked like someone who just wants to argue, but isn't actually listening to what they're replying to. That's a "dialog" that isn't going to contribute anything useful. All it adds is noise.

We try to avoid that kind of thing on HN. Hence the downvotes.
Unfortunately, we do not live in Utopia. In reality, politics, competition and self-interest play huge role in the workplace. In some companies, admitting a mistake or showing vulnerability in front of the wrong crowd can be very damaging for your career there.

Actually, it had colonial powers to contend with, but more importantly, internal factions. The fact that instead of disintegrating into multiple warring entities, it united and grew to become the powerful USA, speaks volumes to the strength of its foundation.

Incidentally, this is precisely where your Civilization analogy goes wrong: the real newly formed states have way more powerful centrifugal factors than those embedded into mechanics of the game.
Ask HN: How do I get back into systems programming after 7 years away?
At 40 I'm getting back into IC-style systems programming at the POSIX and Kernel level after being away for more than 7 years doing managerial stuff. I'm finding it super hard to get back into it. I've forgotten most of the information that was on my fingertips such as the semantics of calls, the arguments, data structures etc (I spent the last day reminding myself of the pthreads API for example). I'm also super rusty on operations such as bit-hacks to check for alignment etc. I never even used to think about these sorts of things, they were muscle memory. I'm wondering if I've permanently lost it. I feel like I'm having to relearn everything from scratch. Any tips on how I can fix this/move faster or am I just past it?
I find /r/surrealmemes fascinating, but never really thought about the lack of tools for hacking stuff like that together.
Ask HN: What does it take to launch a new, online, video-ads network
The title pretty much sums it up. What would it take, what are the hurdles to be overcome, whether technical or market-driven?
Yeah that was painful on mobile lol
Damn, that was my thought exactly!
Amusingly, and unrelated to the topic, I was visiting Scotland, and at one historical site, there was a description of the rations given to each soldier. I further learned that a Scottish pint is 1.7 liters. I could only think to myself: What a nice country!
I understand that this isn't a very great article, but like I thought would happen, it started a nice discussion here. I love the quality of comments on HN.

A recent major conference would be a good place to start to see what has been done and what resources are available.

There should be ones specializing in Arabic or morphology, but the generic LREC is a quite wide one, e.g. http://lrec2018.lrec-conf.org/en/conference-programme/accept... has papers that seem relevant like "Build Fast and Accurate Lemmatization for Arabic" (http://www.lrec-conf.org/proceedings/lrec2018/pdf/1079.pdf), "Part-of-Speech Tagging for Arabic Gulf Dialect Using Bi-LSTM" (http://www.lrec-conf.org/proceedings/lrec2018/pdf/483.pdf), or "A Morphologically Annotated Corpus of Emirati Arabic" (http://www.lrec-conf.org/proceedings/lrec2018/pdf/529.pdf).
> I’d love a detailed account of the process which derailed these moral ideals. Anyone?

It's relatively easy and fits into what Google has been doing: they want advertising to fit the (current) needs of the consumer, and the better the fit, the more money they can command for ad slots - compared to the "old guard" which simply firehosed advertising around without any kind of conversion tracking or effectiveness.

For example, when I'm in Munich and searching for a haircut and I get ads for a haircutter in Berlin, that ad money is wasted for the advertiser, and I as a customer lose one potential spot for a Munich based haircutter. When Google now shows me an ad for a Munich haircutter, or even better, one that is less than 5min of walking away, then both the haircutter benefits (from my haircut) and I benefit (for not having to walk more than I need to).

Or, to expand on this example, metadata like opening hours - advertising for a store that is closed is wasted money when I need an open store.

All that acquisition of ever more data is what drives Google: the more data they possess, the more fine they can tailor your advertising, and thus be geared towards both advertisers and users at the same time. After all, if the ads aren't effective, the advertisers will pack up shop and leave, and the users will be frustrated because they don't get what they need.
That "doesn't break" needs an "under which conditions" clause. A lot of complexity arises from having to handle the imperfections of the environment.

But I agree with the general idea. Good design usually arises after a worse, messy and more complex early design is produced, analyzed and simplified away, often radically. Coming to simplicity by a shorter route is very rare.

I'm an ancient meme historian. I specialize in memes before memes became dank.

The definition transitioned from "viral internet jokes" to "image intended to be funny". Some memes are just edited screenshots of Twitter posts or other viral images. "Text intended to be funny" is a subset of memes referred to as "greentext"; due to 4chan quotes being used for storytelling and the text being green.

The transition period went from Image macro --> Demotivational Posters --> Trollface/Rage Comics --> 4 panel comics --> Memes. This took place over the time period of 2004-2009 and really took off with sharing images over Twitter as the ability to get a viral image became easier.
A different bright kid might ask about ω−1, which opens a different but fruitful line of discussion: ω is not a successor ordinal, it is a limit ordinal.

ω - 1 makes sense in the surreal numbers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surreal_number). The surreal numbers are the "greatest" ordered field, in a sense. They contain all ordinal numbers, which in turn contain all cardinal numbers. The cardinality of a set is just the least ordinal it can be put into a one-to-one correspondence with (this is called the von Neumann cardinal assignment).
I find the fact that you've been aggressively marketing your product throughout this Show HN very disrespectful.

Tying together multiple domains to a single authority (as here) is useful.

Essential? Dunno. But definitely useful.

Source: used WHOIS extensively in abuse mitigation and reporting.

Registrars tend to DGAF, though I suppose blanket blocks of all domains from a given registrar, practiced widely enough, might have impacts.
"might"
That ceases to be a paradox once you distinguish between boundedness versus completeness for a set of infinite steps.

There are infinitely many steps on the interval [0,1]. But if you add 1 "step" at any point of the interval greater than 0, you've still "passed" it.

But image "macro" memes are far older than the internet--consider the classic cat meme, 'Hang in there!': https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51TQ1YdQYNL...

Hell, you could consider print advertising to be a form of image "macros". We need a better name that is descriptive or at least doesn't sound so abstract and far removed from the virality/humor aspect.

I think that describing infinity as an infinite process is bad because that way we are basically saying that this infinite process and infinity is the same thing!

I love ops explanation because it separates infinity (as a number) and infinite process (counting).
Please reread your US history. The law was passed during the Great Recession. The ruling was issued during WWII.

And wheat absolutely was a national, not a local, product in 1930, which made it well within the textual scope of the commerce clause. Whether or not they should have implemented wheat controls is separate from the fact that they had the power to do so.

The whole reason this power was given to Congress was so that no one state could unfairly regulate economic activity in another state. The idea being that it was better to have one set of relatively neutral rules than dozens.

As for your study: the two authors of the study are noted neoconservatives who claim that the economy only recovered when unions lost their power, completely at odds with actual history, in which the height of the American economy coincided with the rise of union power.

May be somewhat of a philosophical argument if you are limiting it to viewing the content of packets. However, there is still a ton of data that can be leaked that could be considered sensitive - volume of transactions, where they are routing from/to, the frequency distribution of that volume. Also, there is also the possibility for manipulation of transmissions - blocking/dropping them altogether causing service outages/censorship, delay/deprioritization that could affect markets, etc. At the nation-state level, this provides a lot of useful opportunities for bad actors.

Crazy. I was paying some insane amount to TWC before AT&T came to town over a year ago. AT&T had a signup deal for 1Gbps fiber symmetric for $70/month. It's over a year later and that's what they still charge me. There's no expiration AFAIK. You can't get this rate from them currently and I think they only offered it when they thought there was going to be competiton from Google. But I don't care why. It's solid service at a reasonable price.

(BTW, I still have my free Google Fiber t-shirt but Google still isn't anywhere near my home.)

Also, TWC is Spectrum now and I can't get them to stop mailing me promotions for service which is still slower and more expensive than AT&T. (Spectrum Internet Gig 1000/35 is $125/mo. There's a $20/mo discount promo good for 24 months.)

>It appears that y-fronts are a uniquely British phenomenon whose popularity doesn’t extend far past their borders.

I don't think you can make that statement after sending a survey only to people in USA and UK. I'm Australian and I definitely see Y-fronts in the original logo.

Edit: I thought I'd add an interesting point. In medicine we include "Y-fronts" in the mnemonic to help us remember the order and direction of structures in the femoral triangle.

So this article should be titled "How to Explain Infinity to Adults"?
Fwiw, the SR-71 was not engineering excellence. It was slapped together to do what needed to be done. It literally leaked jet fuel onto the ground when it wasn't in the air, in order to allow the metal body panels to literally stretch and close gaps in its skin when it was in flight (because physics). The air frame couldn't handle a takeoff with a full fuel tank, so it had to be filled up right after taking off. 90% of the parts manufactured didn't work. It was difficult to maintain and eventually developed a "speedy" one-week turn-around time to get it to fly again after a mission, assuming a base had the specialized tools and support staff to do so.

The SR-71 is an example of how the sheer will to get something done can indeed accomplish great feats, if at great cost and complexity. It's also an example of how innovation is no guarantee of success; since the Blackbird was retired, we still have no airplane as fast as one built in the 1960's.

A great plane is just what it needs to be. It may not be the most minimal it could be, but it will be the most effective. Another example, the A-10 Warthog, is not "minimal", but it is an amazing plane.

I think to get the best result based on the desired outcome, you have to pursue craftsmanship and excellence through continuous education, practice, and improvement, and not worry how it looks so much as how well it works. Complexity is a sin, except when it is necessary.
There is obviously a difference between hacking a single vehicle and (say) convincing a generation of youth to die for a cause.

Also, while I agree that you can "program" a human, you can't program them to jump up and down and touch their toes (so to speak)
But before you do that it's worth just asking them what they think comes after everything else and see what they say. Because kids often have really interesting ideas on those kinds of topics and once you tell them something, then their ideas get pushed out.
The solution here is inverter drive appliances. I had a cheapo but great thrift store inverter microwave. My cheapo junk 3000w inverter could run it off a few hundred Ah of batteries without issue, still spitting out clean power on the other outlets. A regular microwave(with a lower run wattage in theory, by about 1/3rd) would instantly blow the thing up and set off its obnoxious alarm.

With some carefully selected appliances you would probably be fine. This stuff used to be super pricey, but now even the cheaper brands are putting out inverter drive ACs for example. Not window units, but mini splits and home systems

Well, pretty hard to draw conclusions from this study then.
We do stand ups once a week on Monday morning to get everyone on the same page and focussed for new week.

Each time a different dev runs it, chosen by the person who ran it last.

Our stand ups are one of the most mentioned things in my 1:1s as everyone likes to hear what other people are working on.

We then do a retro on Friday afternoon, sit outside and have a beer and chat about what worked and what didn’t.

Not strictly agile, but this works for us and everyone is happy and productive.

They regularly drank all other guests, including Slivovitz-trained Croats and Serbs, under the tables... and were still standing firmly, not stumbling around.

A boss used to say to us, you haven't proven you know how to do it until you've done it twice. This is, as I recall, also the guy who would pigeonhole people who built things that they couldn't hand off to others. He fed us some bullshit line about being 'too important' to work on the new cool stuff. It was a hard lesson but I learned pretty quick to put extra time in to make my code obvious to others instead of just me. Boost your truck number if you ever want new scenery.

(Most of my coworkers thought he was being sincere in his flattery rather than being ironic. For all I know they are still being 'too important' to work on new subsystems.)

The progression makes sense.

1. Let's make a better search engine.
2. Let's put ads on our search engine.
3. Let's create our own ad network so that we can control what ads look like, so they're unobtrusive.
4. People like our ads, let's put them on other people's pages.
5. People want more interesting ads, let's expand out.
6. Our business relies on ads, we need to collect more user data so we can focus ads even better than our competitors.

By doing advertising 'better' they could make a better product. Unfortunately, they went down the exact same path that other advertisers did: getting more invasive and more aggressive and less user-centric. I hate slippery slope arguments, but this seems to apply in retrospect.
Aggregate with affluent people's data and it becomes valuable to advertisers who will never know the difference maybe
