>People are clever everywhere. Such a good idea would have gotten adopted if it were useful.

First I thought of Democracy which is not used in China and a clear counterexample. Clearly it's not the dry weather there which is the reason :).

But I deleted that comment as it's political and, although a counterexample, one could argue that the algorithm of counting votes is not the central idea of Democracy, and it is philosophical and cultural rather than technological.

I next thought simply of forks and chopsticks. They're both wildly available, but other than Asians, nobody eats with chopsticks in America and Europe, non-Asian restaurants don't even have any. In China I imagine it's the opposite, and restaurants don't even have a fork for you.

We are not talking about a wheelbarrow here (or Democracy!) - but just a $0.50 piece of wood/plastic/metal.

Clearly it is not true that a good idea is adopted instantly in the same form. Utensils are a great idea. The west uses forks, the East uses chopsticks.

It may be easier to believe they are being disingenuous but the real answer is probably that they are in fact racist.

The rest of this isn't directed just at you astura.

If this was some random Facebook or 4chan comment would you be so quick to come to that rationalization?

I feel we like to think the individuals we associate with on HN are like minded. To admit they aren't is almost a personal affront. To keep the disillusion going we must rationalize and make up excuses for them or how they behave.

It sounds ridiculous, but I started a YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/ClickClackClunk) a few months ago that focuses on my woodworking hobby. This was the first month that I made >$500 from amazon affiliate links (mostly from the instructables (https://www.instructables.com/member/clickclackclunk/instruc...) related portion of the project).

It's been a lot of fun and I enjoy focusing on something which is less about computers and more about working with my hands.

I wonder why nothing as good as RStudio seems to be available for Python yet? I feel like Python is stuck in Jupyter rutt - a local minima (or maxima, depending on your perspective) where Jupyter is capturing all the interest but is fundamentally not as good for data exploration (just my opinion, from using both intensively over years). I often want to use Python but I keep going back to RStudio because I find Jupyter painful (even after enhancing with BeakerX [1] which I love for what it is, but it can't fix the underlying constraints of Jupyter ...).

In any case I suppose it's a cultural thing. I've seen in the US they have ads for really invasive drugs on the telly, so I suppose Americans visit pharmacies all the time, that's why they became convenience stores? Or maybe the other way around, they are convenience stores so they can get Americans to buy drugs more often? Anyway, offtopic.
As far as I know psychopathy is most often connected to Antisocial Personality Disorder – up to the point of fusing these two terms – which has clear definition in DSM.
1. IIRC you should be able to do

go get example.com/repo@branch-1

2. Something like

go mod edit -replace example.com/repo@version=example.com/fork@version

It seems like the second command doesn't understand branches, so you'll need to specify a "pseudo-version" like "v0.0.0-20171125154426-754f7301a386". Or maybe my go1.11 is just out of date.
1. A "good" key safe for the forseeable future would have around 256 effective security bits. To get a key that strong, your password would have to be (speaking VERY generously here) 40 characters long and truly random.

2. When using real password authentication, connecting to a compromised server results in a disclosure of your password. When using challenge-response authentication, it does not. Note that correctly-configured OpenSSH uses challenge-response even for password-based methods. Incorrectly configured SSH will send passwords over the wire.

I'd love to do this to my phone (Moto G4). However I absolutely need my banking app, and I know it just wont work without Google Play running. Likewise as the article says, Google Maps is a must even with location tracking off. I do switch off as much personal data leakage as I can, but I'm not naive enough to think that Google isn't still collecting data on me.

Unfortunately, I just don't think a free open source phone will full modern functionality is ever going to exist.
His comments are reflections of all the extensive reading I've done, though he explains things better than I ever could. So I didn't have a problem with his authoritative tone - in general, I never have a problem with an "authoritative tone" when there is actual content and it matches up with what I know for myself, or it looks like it can be double checked (and is).

I guess for me I find it easy enough to ascertain the emotional drivers behind what someone is saying (or I think so). From that you can tell where they're coming from and what their motivations really are. A useful skill one gets in spades once you've dealt with an actual psychopath...
Could we not do this with a medium powered motor on the ground, pushing up the load through a system of gears and levers?

> Can anyone shed some light on the motivation for these frauds?

Money and prestige while it lasts?

> Is there something in particular about the Japanese ecosystem that makes them more common?

Well, the article states the following:

> Michiie Sakamoto, who is leading another investigation at Keio University, into Iwamoto's studies in animals, says it has to do with respect. "In Japan, we don't usually doubt a professor," he says. "We basically believe people. We think we don't need strict rules to watch them carefully." As a result, researchers faking their results may be exposed only after they have racked up many publications.
Why not? I would estimate the lifetime being at least 30 years.
> If you knew that anyone would take advantage of you given the opportunity, then how does society function

That’s the opposite of what she was saying. From what I could gather, she does trust people, but simply by measuring their actions. I suspect such a society would work the same way: people who demonstrate they can be trusted would receive positive responses. Taking advantage of others would quickly lead to a form of ostracism.
Yeah, that bothers me as well. Especially knowing that Go was in many ways inspired by Wirthian languages, in which a module is, well, a module.
> Maybe your fingerprint scanner won't work, stuff like that, but otherwise it's rare to have issues.
reply

Exactly. These things add up. Fingerprint scanner won't work, battery life goes down. Occasionally, the device won't come out of sleep. I have used self-managed GNU/Linux on my laptop before and these issues bother you unless GNU/Linux development is your main job.
Mostly banking and finance gigs. UBS, Credit Suisse, Swiss Re, Zurich, etc. Not necessarily cutting edge tech jobs though. Also, Zug, near Zurich has turned into a hotspot for blockchain-related startups and fintech companies.

Yes, the speed of light cannot exceed its limitation, and as one channel stretches in length, it simply requires more time to travel that length at the constant maximum speed.

The fixed channel remains the same, and covers the unstretched distance, so the light, traveling at the same constant speed reaches the end of the unchanged channel within less time than the other channel.

Or invert the same effect for cases where one channel is compressed to a shorter length, since waves oscillate. So both circumstances may be encountered. Some photons will traverse a compressed distance at a fixed speed, other photons will traverse a stretched distance. Meanwhile, the other perpedicular path is neither stretched nor squashed, and the photons in that channel demostrate the difference when compared to the effected channel.

So no matter what happens, the rate of travel is locked at the upper limit of 186,000 miles per second, whether all of space, energy and matter is squashed in a slightly smaller volume, or expanded to fill a slightly larger volume, the relativistic distances do not change, and the rate of passage of time does not change.
I have purchased and returned one before. I admire them but when I tried a few years, the hardware quality as well as battery life was not up to the mark.
Didn't Heaviside condense Maxwell's nine (or more?) original equations down to the four we know and use today?
There are many things you say here that I can totally agree with. When speed of development is a concern and costs of runtime errors are moderate enough that one can absorb them, it would be a bad idea to use Haskell (haven't used Scala so not qualified enough to comment).

Somewhere along the spectrum of increasing cost to business of runtime errors the needle switches in favor of static tyoes. This is more true when you ship applications to folks who dont necessarily know or care about the internals. Throwing runtime errors is just a bad form in those cases.

When the code is going to be deployed on infrastructure you control, there is a lot more leeway to absorb runtime errors. The choice depends on how costly the runtime errors are and how costly are the fixes. Time being part of the cost.
Or it means you don't get homeless the moment you don't succeed. Those who don't work aren't living in wealth; all they have is basic necessities. The system stimulates people to work. Which, incidentally, is easier when you're not homeless and when you can afford food and toilet paper (which I happen to know you cannot buy with food stamps).

Jimmy Carter is without question one of the all-time great ex-presidents. Whatever the successes or failings of his administration, he's used his time since to improve the world, and is honest, uncorrupt, and suitably (ex-)presidential.
It's possible to be diagnosed with aspergers traits rather than aspergers, and I think I heard it was possible to have psychopathic traits without being a 'full' psychopath as well. So it definitely seems possible there could be an overlap in some cases.

You could also literally have both at once, since these conditions/states/differences/whatever aren't necessarily mutually exclusive.

Ask HN: Any way to force yourself to sit correctly?
I have a slouch. I've tried keeping my screen at a correct height and the usual stuff, but no matter what I do, I go back to my hold posture.

Is there a way to force yourself to keep good posture while sitting down at the computer?

I read that sitting on an exercise ball forces you to do that, and in Italy government employees (at least in my region) are given steps to keep their feet on, which I guess helps with posture.

Any idea what I could try? I don't want to end up not being able to look up when I'm 50.
I won a hackathon with a couple of friends at university, the company sponsoring the hackathon let us work for them while writing the masters thesis (carefully splitting us up, to see if one of us was just coasting on the others' work) and we all got an offer 6 months later.

To me Dyson spheres seem decidedly low tech. Why do we think a very advanced alien species would a) even need such an amount of power b) use such a primitve method as wrapping a star in solar panels?

The only stuff I can imagine needing such energy levels would be wormhole gates or Alcubiere drives. Powering the former with a Dyson sphere might make sense but the latter would have to fit on a ship.

The interstellar aliens I find more realistic would be those that just mastered cryo sleep or general AI and built seed ships. We don't really have any way of detecting those, do we?
That's like saying monopolies don't decrease the competitiveness of the market, just the "competitiveness" of their own products for their own consumers.
Not to dispute you primary point (auction of personal data for someone else's gains)...

I don't think this will work for gas stations. The margins are too thin to support discounts large enough to attract customers.

It might work for oil change places... but then GM would be competing with it's own dealership service centers... which it wouldn't do.

I'd be much more worried about detailed ride data being shared with insurance companies. I'm pretty sure insurance companies could figure out from the data whether someone is a safe driver (or not). Or at least they would convince themselves that they could. Might even work. But it would be a hell of a privacy invasion. And imagine the crossover uses for medical insurance... regular visits to drug areas, bam that's a price increase on you health insurance. Same for regularly being parked near bars... chance of drunk driving goes way up.

Because we don't generate random numbers to look at them and marvel at their philosophical pureness, we use them. In software.

Your argument would make a bit of sense if you were arguing for doing all cryptographic operations in hardware. Like on a smartcard. But that's not what we're talking about.
First job out of uni - a company run training scheme, ran for nearly 3 years. Fairly low pay, that came with a job

At the end of that, after a couple of months on second line I was then asked by a dev department to take over from someone who was leaving.

Stayed there for 10 years and then had another head of department come up to Manchester and beg me to work for her, with a hefty pay rise and official home working.

I did apply for one job (internally)after a bad manager took over, which I got - it wa supporting a system that I'd written, but they couldn't pay enough. On the whole I'm terrible at interviews though (the training course was mostly test based), head hunting is the only way I've managed to progress.

Higher density, but also surely much higher cost.
Sitting correctly might mean different things for different people. I use an exercise ball for sitting and I believe that its benefits have to do with keeping a dynamic position rather than a static correct one

If you are in the US you may want to go through Vettery/Hired especially if you are a fresher or you don't have contacts to get your foot in the door. If you do have some contacts working at companies, ask then to tell you how it is working there and make a judgement for yourself if you like working there or not.

Recruiters are a double edged sword, they can help you get your foot in the door but if you do use them as I did a few years ago, make sure you do your homework on the company and find out everything before signing the offer letter.
But the real question is: how else would you do it?

Having journals/conferences with things like double-blind peer-review processes in place to me is probably the only way to do this. How else would you filter all the noise?

We don't have this in industry and it's a bit sad. I mean we do in the form of some blogs, conferences, etc. But in no way it compares to the system academia has. Have you ever tried publishing to an academic conference compared to an "industry conference"? All you need for most industry-conferences is an abstract, an idea, not even evidence of new sorts; actually you need reputation but that's a different issue.

There are flaws in every system for sure and academia has their hands full of them especially since they have to deal with quite important things like medicine.

But I find it funny that people complain about academia, and yet there's no other system that comes close to producing empirical truths.
As far as the Fermi paradox is concerned it's a much safer assumption to make that advanced civilisations will achieve interstellar communication before they achieve interstellar travel.

Even so, my point is that human technology tells us nothing about the probility of a civilisation ever developing interstellar communication because we haven't seen it happen yet. We are still at the 0 stage when going from 0 to 1. It doesn't make sense to extrapolate from our position on the technological timeline. It makes more sense to assume tabula rasa that aliens have developed this technology and then explore the implications of that.

You can also use https://tinyssh.org instead of the sshd from OpenSSH. It only implements key based authentication and newer encryption algorithms. It's available on Ubuntu:

sudo apt install tinyssh
wget https://github.com/yourusername.keys -O ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
sudo systemctl enable tinysshd.socket

but it's not widely used, which makes using it risky. To my knowledge there hasn't been a formal audit. Also it doesn't implement the scp protocol, but you can use rscync over ssh

alias scp="rsync -e ssh --progress"

In search of continues growth, pharmacies in the US had to expand their offerings.

Since someone will go there to get their prescription filled or pick up some Asprin, it makes sense to start selling vitamins, then some household essentials, and before you know it Walgreens is selling fruits and veggies.

For my day job, I took a bit of a windy road before finding it. First I decided to study in Korea the summer after my first year of university, and ended up never leaving. I studied Korean in a university language center for a year before transferring to a Korean university where I happened upon a summer internship at my eventual future employer (Engineering & Construction) on the exclusive student job/intern message board. After finishing that internship I received an offer that I accepted during my last semester before graduation. And that was that.

For my nights and weekends gig at Cent (https://beta.cent.co) I had to make it. I first focused on becoming a super-user back in October of 2017. After that, I submitted a few un-returned emails to the founders and wrote over 50 blog posts on the project before finally receiving a follow up email asking if I wanted to chat with the two person founding team. We had an amazing first call which led to a second one where I presented a plan of what I could do for the project in terms of their social media and communications strategies. After that the team asked for my ideal conditions before making an offer to join the team which I happily accepted.

I don't think there's a universal definition (as showed by the other replies to you, saying, actually it's the oppisite...) I think you just have to learn the meaning language by language. Here is someone asking about the nuance in Python:
