The notion that "the time of rich people is more valuable" seems obviously wrong to me. In some cases the time of rich people has a higher price. E.g. a famous surgeon is rich and also charges a lot by the hour. But there are plenty of rich people that couldn't get minimum wage based on their skills and work ethic.

I think value is an individual metric. E.g., I value good chocolate highly, but chocolate gives my girlfriend migraines, so for her it has negative value. So I think the time of rich people is exactly as valuable to them as it is to poor people. Or maybe less so, in that the rich people I know are on average much more willing to waste time than the poor ones.

Given that, your other schemes are more plausible, but I don't know that they'd be better in practice; the nth-order effects are hard to calculate, but could easily be pathological. Given that the real problem in doing this is the way some people have orders of magnitude more money than people, the cleanest solution is just to tax heavily enough that the wealth difference isn't nearly as large. Which, given the sensitivity of US politicians to the desires of the wealthy, is entirely unlikely to happen.

The beauty of the human memory system is not whether or not you can remember a thing, but the correlations and relationships between them. A convenient lookup mechanism doesn't help there.
There's obviously a scale of how things are at various workplaces, and how acceptable various things are in different cultures.

I've worked at a gaming company in Europe before where among other things female team members told me they've been asked by someone "how it feels to have the biggest boobs in the team" when another female in the team left.

The company later introduced an inclusivity effort and a code of conduct, and felt obliged to offer an AMA (because "new and scary thing" or whatever). They got questions like "should we now lower our hiring standards because we want to hire more women?" and "will there be any punishments if you break the CoC?" to which the answer was "of course not, don't worry". It felt like they just did these things to show an effort, not to actually follow through on them. Leadership was of course all white middle-age straight male.
Apparently, a (for better or worse) big part of the web just lost a significant interoperability feature. Shame. And a reminder of how life with SaaS platforms looks like. You have little ability to improve things for yourself.
I can think of at least one instance from an earlier crisis (the 1980s S&L crisis) in which a community bank - in this case, Harlem Bank - had large government deposits suddenly withdrawn in order to shore up a "Too big to fail" bank, causing the collapse of the small, community-oriented bank. This matters. Government is a major cash depositor in many banks, and so government policy of cash placement affects the health of banks and the kinds of banks they support with their business.

I've been using it in production since version 0.5. It's a joy for creating high performance numerical code without having to leave the comfort of a productive and interactive scientific computing environment. Perhaps surprisingly it's also a great glue language, where I think it does a better job of replacing shell scripts than python.

Yes. It is the "ensuring the manufacturer can't be blamed if something goes wrong" mindset that says, "it's necessary ... if somebody did something illegal or dumb, they can be sanctioned".

We don't. While we do often publish stories on public health issues, we don't conduct any of the research, we just report on the science.

Yeah, conference calling is a niche industry, but a fairly big one. I'm hoping the app can find a place. What we're trying to do is literally change the way people make phone calls so you never need to remember or enter a phone number.

If you change your mind and fancy messing around with the app feel free, I've coded it so that anyone who signs up this month gets $5.00 free call credit (about 4 hours of US/UK calls).

We support up to 250 participants per call (start with 10 though) so if you fancy going nuts, making the app fall over or something do :)
that's definitely a good invest. Congrats!
It's also only one single bus route.
I see that systemd is still junk.

I love Alpine Linux. If we (ZeroTier) had our infrastructure to do over we'd use it instead of CentOS for servers. It dumps systemd and countless other pieces of over-engineered cruft that you don't need. It's a thing of beauty. If you appreciate clean, well designed, fast, and parsimonious systems check it out.

FreeBSD is also worth checking out for the same reason. It lacks a bit on the hardware front but it's clean and fast and does not have systemd cancer.

Over-engineering is the plague of all modern software.

I'm sorry, but you're disregarding even the most rudimentary rigor in coming to these conclusions.

Survivability is exactly what it sounds like. It isn't some conspiracy-theory euphemism for the "annihilation of humankind." It's a key component of MAD and is the one and only reason the Soviets didn't destroy the Western world from Cuba. This is well-documented.

An Afghani is a unit of currency and has neither convictions nor family. I wouldn't be so pedantic usually, but since your very point seems to be the alleged dehumanization of such people, it seemed appropriate to point out that maybe we shouldn't refer to people as inanimate objects.

As far as a civilian Afghan family's lives? That's what the DoD is trying to protect. Explain to me why you think more civilians should die, rather than developing better technology to help distinguish them.

The Reuters journalists in the famous "Collateral Murder" video should not have been killed. I suspect you and I are in agreement on that. What I absolutely fail to comprehend is how you seem to think Google et al. have a moral obligation not to help keep that from happening again.

It's more likely a move to try to keep people within the walled garden of facebook - people can't easily move to competitors (like blogs, other social media), if those competitors can't share to facebook too automatically to ease the transition.

It also means they can more easily charge companies for posting (who are the ones most likely to want to post to several services).
"Bucketing a company as racist" is not the point. The point is that the CEO is the head of, represents, and consequentially speaks for the company. Their personal opinions are reflected in the company's internal and external image. Don't we all have better things to do than argue moot points in nested comment threads? ;)
The individualism/collectivism scale describes the level of inter-dependence on closely related in-groups and the level of support for them and are all taking place on the level of an individual. Things like family fall into this category.

It has nothing to do with how nations/groups conquer each other.

Show HN: Simple way to obtain pseudorandomness from CPU context switch in Go
I'm a quite happy Julia user, however I feel there are still some warts in the language that should have warranted a bit more time before banging 1.0 on the badge.

Exception handling in julia is poor, which reminds me of how exceptions are (not/poorly) handled in R. Code can trap exceptions, but not directly by type as you _would_ expect. Instead, the user is left to check the type of the exception in the catch block. Aside for creating verbose blocks of boilerplate at every catch, it's very error prone.

Very few packages do it right, and like in R, exceptions either blow up in your face or they simply fail silently as the exception is handled incorrectly upstream by being too broad.

Errors, warnings and notices are also often written as if the only use-case scenario is the user watching the output interactively. Like with R, it's possible but quite cumbersome to consistently fetch the output of a julia program and be certain that "stdout" contains only what >you< printed. As I use julia also a general-purpose language to replace python, I feel that julia a bit too biased toward interactive usage at times.

That being said, I do love multiple dispatch, and julia overall has one of the most pragmatic implementations I've come across over time, which also makes me forget that I don't really like 1-based array indexes.
> The problem is that your appliance/container will not be allowed to access the AISP-only APIs provided by the banks, unless your client themselves become an AISP.

Makes sense, at least on a technical level. Ditto if I try to place myself as proxy between a business and is PSP.

But let me express doubts by referring to the PSD2[1] itself. TL;DR -> I'm not sure offering my product as a container disqualifies it from being a service from a legal standpoint.

> Negative scope
This Directive shall apply to none of the following:
...
services provided by technical service providers, which
support the provision of payment services, without them
entering at any time into possession of the funds to be
transferred, including processing and storage of data, trust
and privacy protection services, data and entity authentication,
information technology (IT) and communication
network provision, provision and maintenance of terminals
and devices used for payment services;

Yet the definition of a payment service (last page of the document[1]), seems to indeed indicate such a container would be a payment service.

> ANNEX
PAYMENT SERVICES (DEFINITION 3 IN ARTICLE 4)
...
Execution of payment transactions where the consent of the payer to execute a payment transaction is given by means
of any telecommunication, digital or IT device and the payment is made to the telecommunication, IT system or
network operator, acting only as an intermediary between the payment service user and the supplier of the goods and
services.

Here is how I understand this:

- if I'm offering a database hosting service that happens to be used in a payment system, I'm not tied to the PSD2 (too low level).

- however if I manage this data at the semantic level of a payment system, I'm a payment service not matter how far I try to get from what a "service" technically is.

Now, here is what doesn't hold with this feeble interpretation:

Under these terms, an open-source client to a european PSP (there are many on GitHub) should be regulated by the PSD2...

Where do you draw the line ?

Musk should not have gotten into a twitter war. The other guy started it (check the full context) but still... where I come from we have a saying: "Never wrestle with a pig. You both get dirty and the pig likes it." When you war with a troll you usually end up looking worse than the troll.

That being said I care more about Musk's real accomplishments than a few minutes of Twitter asshattery.
US regulators did not approve thalomide until after the risks were known. Their system for evaluating drug safety is the strongest in the world and that is why there were no thalomide induced birth defects in the US. Those problems, subtleties and failures of regulation were in European markets where thalomide was approved more quickly (and new manufacturing processes were less closely regulated than the drug itself). EU has stronger regulatory practices in place as a result.
I think sometimes people are distracted by Julia's performance, according to https://github.com/JuliaLang/Microbenchmarks Julia is not the fastest language/compiler (maybe LuaJIT is).

Julia is not only good for its performance, but also its multiple dispatch, its type system and more. Because of those features we have https://github.com/JuliaGPU/CUDAnative.jl, more elegant package interface, like https://github.com/JuliaOpt/JuMP.jl and there is more.

I still believe there is no silver bullet, if you want something Python then you get another Python. But think about this: is the full Python's dynamic feature really what we need in works like simulation, HPC, etc.? Probably no. I think Julia is kinda of balance for the related field (like for scientific computing). Just like in the old days, people start using FORTRAN, MATLAB, Lisp as the most advanced tools at that time. We start using Julia now.

The case is not so extreme in SLC. I've lived here about 4.5 years and while much of the state is overwhelmingly Mormon (I do not practice or sympathize with any religion), SLC is not so different from other similar-sized cities culturally. There's great food, arts, music, and so on. Obviously for a non-Mormon the outdoors access is the primary draw here in my opinion, but it's a nice place to live regardless.
Utah is actually one of the most urban states in the country - this 2012 article
explains that 90% of Utah’s people live on 1% of the land. Within Utah’s urban areas, population density is in the top 10 in the United States at 2737 people per square mile. Although I’d love to see some updated numbers, there has been a lot of sprawl since 2012.

It would indeed be very nice to assume this is somehow unique to the US. Europe has many countries that are notorious for their machismo, or their adherence to religious beliefs that are condescending towards women.

I use it pretty much every work day to explore ML/DSP ideas and to experiment around before formalizing an algorithm. It's fast to run (which is important to be able to go through enough data to make conclusions), the code produced is reasonably readable, there are a decent number of libs, and it's fairly quick to write. I'd say if you're looking for something like a MATLAB/R/Python/etc replacement Julia is a good option, though it has been a bumpy ride at times while the language has been evolving.

I think I started using Julia around 2013 or so after getting fed up with the slower speed of octave, so I'm guessing that things should be a fair bit smoother from this point on if they've officially tagged 1.0.

> Only a few episodes were compelling.

I'll have to disagree with you. Aside from the first few seasons most episodes were compelling to me. Perhaps it's just different tastes but I don't enjoy long plots with many twists unless they are planned exceedingly well. I prefer 50 minute story arcs over 600 minute story arcs with unnecessary cliffhangers every 50 minutes.
For integrated graphics, that can happen.

Practically all discrete GPUs are connected through PCI-e, and serving memory requests through that would slow things to a crawl. PCI-e 4.0 with 16 lanes has 32 GB/s of bandwidth. A Geforce 1050 has more memory bandwidth than that (84 GB/s), and that GPU is not high end.

Excuse me, but she's writing about her personal experience - what evidence would you expect her to provide? If you hear someone shout the n word in an office and later tell me about it, should I disbelieve you? How about if you tell me, and a number of other people also tell me? Do I say no- you need to provide evidence. Even when no one has actually denied it happened? What about if a reporter who fact checks their stories tells me? Do I still disbelieve it?

There is literally nothing anyone can say to persuade you.
