Yeah, I read the author's comment about playing music to relax after programming, and I immediately thought I might do some programming to relax after a serious session of music performance/recording. Frankly, playing a gig leaves me more intellectually/emotionally drained and dysfunctional than a long programming session does.
I don't think the moral arguments are a distraction if they are reasonable. Any intelligent person can see that both the US and China have problems and wouldn't want to contribute to those problems. And to not do that one has to look at ones intentions, motivations and actions.

Most individuals just don't have a lot of pull and we can compensate, at least somewhat, through other means. People visiting, buying products from or to some extent working in these countries isn't the problem. Most people aren't qualified to make an assessment, can't really be expected to go out of their way and won't, hopefully, engage in propaganda.

What YC is doing is just incredibly high on that scale. If you start a company in the US chances are you don't know better, since the US has a much better reputation, or you have to be there, since you were born or just very aware of it. You can treat your employees well, protest the US government and you can sue companies, people or the government itself.

YC should not only know better but will be able to do very little of those things in China. And it will be a huge win for China in general. This makes their actual step into China much worse. You can't really come back in five years and criticize them for working with the government and their investments doing objectionable things. Well you can, but it isn't very practical.

Why do we even insist on justice? Most of us can just mind our own business and do fine. It is of course on behalf the people who get mistreated. Their condition is the actual cost of our actions. Most of us can, sort of, live with that we largely unintentional enable mistreatment of many people in the developing world. But for a small entity with a lot of impact those actions becomes a lot costlier. So such decision are and should therefor be much harder to justify.
I have thought for a long time that big corporations are really just a sort of welfare system for the middle class. So many jobs that exist only to support other jobs which only exist to support... and so on.

I was talking to a Facebook recruiter a couple weeks back and he told me that something like five floors of people (or ten? I cannot recall exactly) in Seattle were dedicated to the Messenger app. Seriously? That is absurd. What are all those people actually doing?
See my other comment below. If you could learn the same thing at the same level with less mental effort, isn't that a good thing?

If the traditional teaching approach for Markov Chains required more intellectual effort, sounds like we've been explaining it poorly, no?
Can anyone recommend a good article or video (preferably video) that gets into how CPUs work at a somewhat fundamental level? Ideally geared towards someone who's generally familiar with computing concepts and not a total layman.
But the so-called 'genuinely profound sentences' are themselves subjective.

In the abstract, the 'profound' example they give is: "The person who never made a mistake never tried something new".

But this is itself a deeper level of BS. The intended moral of this quotation is "You should try something new", but if you accept that as an axiom, then the act of never-trying-something-new is itself a mistake, and so the sentence contradicts itself.

If Albert Einstein wracked his brain for the most profound statement he could come up with, it would be indistinguishable from bullshit to anyone but a top theoretical physicist.

The article should be titled something more like: "Fortune-cookie sensitivity predicts prosocial behavior"
Pretty much the same with deadlines. If the workload is reasonable it'll get done in good time. Might even to be my own schedule and not a 9-5 but it will for sure get done.

I will even avoid the flow unless I feel particularly meditative. There's nothing good about vanishing down a rabbit hole for several hours and prioritising the rabbit hole above your own health.
I wonder which L4 they use. L4 is more a family than a single kernel. The different variants are essentially totally different kernels from the same school of thought.
Because nobody hires sysadmins anymore, they don't know how to parse plain webserver logs.
This is a common misunderstanding (even with the caveat that you are talking about cryptography and the author is not). There is no reason that the hashes used for e.g. signing a document should be slow. If you have an application where you need the operation to be slow you can construct an iterative version; you'll want an adjustable work factor anyway.
Sure, I've even worked ~3 months a year before, but that was very cheap, and no occasional electronics or whatever to keep myself motivated (oscilloscope etc)

I keep my food and fun expenses very low, and rent a flat with a friend, so its half as much as renting a flat on my own. Still rent and associated living expenses is about 2/3 of my expenses.
> This bill seems like it forces socialism/command economy on all companies valued greater than 1 billion dollars

In that it gives some voice to workers in direction of firms, it could kinda-sorta be seen as a kind of socialism, but since the firms actual decisions are made internally and not by an external central planner, it's not anything like a command economy.

> The worst thing about stuff like this is that is socialism is hard to dispell in sound bites.

I dunno, the American Right usually does a good enough job (even against things that aren't socialism) with just “socialism” repeated over and over as the soundbite, with no additional substance.

That might be changing over time in a demonstration of the “little boy who cried wolf” effect, though.

> Unfortunately millennials do not remember the Soviet Union

I'm not a millennial, and I quite clearly recall that the Soviet Union was not exactly known for large private joint stock companies with a minority voice for workers in choosing directors. So, I can see that not remembering the USSR is a problem here, though not in the way you seem to be concerned about.
Lack of exercise/motion could well be part of the mental effects. Your body isn't ready to move again. It's kind of like that weird way you feel when you first wake up.

OKL4 was both a microkernel and hypervisor. They coined term microhypervisor to differentiate that.

https://microkerneldude.wordpress.com/2008/04/03/microkernel...

NOVA is an open-source micro-hypervisor available in GenodeOS that similarly combines hypervisor functionality with a microkernel-like design:

http://hypervisor.org

The Xen hypervisor also got many of its design elements from the Nemesis OS, which had a lightweight kernel. There's plenty of overlap possible. A number of research and production systems are also both hypervisors and microkernel-like, too. So, it's more an existing concept than a bizarre, hypothetical connection. For OKL4, also deployed in over a billion phones they claim.
Explain why they wasted effort and silicon on insanity:

The 80-bit format has an explicit 1, unlike the normal IEEE float and double.

The chip has BCD support.

There was that idea that the OS would emulate an infinite FP stack via an exception handler.

There was that idea that the OS would emulate more exponent bits via an exception handler messing with the exponents.

The exceptions for imprecise results seem so useless.

We got an 80-bit format, but no 16-bit or 128-bit format. Don't we like powers of two?
For most purposes fast hash functions are preferred. Expensive hash functions are only required for some specialized uses, such as password hashing or key-strengthening.

> Why should we pay (with our taxes) for poor kiwis who can't afford a house?

Why pay taxes at all for a country you're not citizen of? /s

Seriously now, it's because you live there. Their government makes the rules, you decided to live there and, by extension, decided to follow their rules.

> I mean, yeah, Labour party is in power in NZ at the moment, hence such policies like 'Let's increase salaries to poor workers, let's give them houses, let's increase maternity leave etc.'. The problem is that somebody has to pay for that

And, given which democratically elected government is in power, it's their right to choose how to spend their money.

They have not. What they have shown is that the universe cannot be local and deterministic at the same time.
Unfortunately, many web apps choose to ignore this

I wouldn't be surprised if most if not all tutorials ignore it as well.
For some positivity, I would love to have an option of actual, everyday Indian food available as an option to me. Indian restaurants in the US by and large suck, so I'm hoping you're successful!
Flexport (YC W14) had $225M revenue in 2017

Probably because management can deliberately reduce profit, and realize shareholder gains in other ways. Amazon famously had very small profits over a long period of time because it reinvested all of its revenues back into its business:

I read it as using 50ms of CPU and it didn't say where. Using an extra 50 ms of server CPU happens all the time in my experience and no one seems to think this is a problem.

It is kind of interesting--maybe irrelevant to the paper, but all the "profound" sentences rely on a comparison:

1. power vs. persistence
4. things you say and things you do not say
6. our flaws and other's flaws
7. open door and entering (what your teacher does and what you must do)
9. the comparison is implied but trying something new vs never trying something new.
11. again implied but imagined pain versus real pain
14. tempted and resisting vs tempted and falling.

whereas the "bullshit" sentences seem mostly to be simpler constructs.

2: a causes b
3: a causes b for c
5: a and b provides c for d
8: a changes b (this one has a very weakly implied comparison, because "universal observations"
changes and is therefore not "universal", but there is no specificity about the difference so it
is not really a comparison, just noting the change.)
etc.

there are no comparisons in them. I wonder if that has anything to do with just the structure we're used to for aphorisms and folk wisdom?
edit - removed comment
I like to think of my role as "dad" is to prepare my kids as opposed to protecting them. Life is going to happen, we can't protect them from everything. What we can do is help our kids create themselves in such a way that "emotional chaos" is not part of their experience.

And fraud (and potentially worse, e.g., wrongful death) lawsuits.
Some people seem to have _evolved_ to be able to hold their breath (over 12 minutes) and work.

Look for the "sea nomads", there have been articles about them recently, a recent (2016) research ( https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(18)30386-6 ) suggests that their ability could be because they evolved a larger spleen (which helps with red blood cells).
I probably understand where you are coming from. But, you are may be missing the point?

> The visual explanation of the Markov chains on that web site looks elegant and simple because... it is

I strongly resonate with this statement. However, I disagree with the claim the "You are replacing the active intellectual process". In fact, it is the opposite - it is stimulating.

Let me present an anecdote which will perhaps resonate with many people. Often times, when venturing into a new topic, one tends to read the reference texts. Let us be frank - reference texts are not beginner friendly no matter how much they claim (they are reference for a reason). To get to the meat of the story, a reader has to hold lot of context from past knowledge. This is hard and often towards reaching the actual results, the reader is already exhausted. Instead, such intuitive visualizations provide context to a new reader. The next time the reader goes back to the reference text, this "lookahead" (from the visualization) is valuable. It is easier to internalize that where in the grand scheme of things a particular topic lies.

> Of course, this doesn't mean that visualizations are useless, but they should be carefully designed with some learning goal in mind. Not easy! For example, the visualization could slowly gray out states that are not visited. In that way, the student could get a feeling for concepts like recurrence etc.

This I believe is nitpicking.
I’m not sure that’s fair. I think it makes sense to distinguish between oil (or salt or any ingredient) added for the purpose of flavor, nutrition, or authenticity vs the purpose of preservation. Both affect the flavor but one makes the food better and the other only ensures it lasts longer (assuming success).
> giving most of it to Google or whoever

More common to over-hire, I think. Server costs tend to scale well with your customer base.

As kaspy points out in his, this is just more software engineering hubris playing out. I took architectural drafting classes in high school, and there are tons of technical differences and considerations that go into building design. And I was only dealing with drawing them, forget about having to have all that in my head and actually being able to make decisions on it.

To make what I hope is an apt analogy back to software, you are basically saying, "Oh, their job is easy. All they have to do is follow established design patterns!" But, of course, we also have design patterns... Why don't we say the same thing about ourselves? Because we know that that's complete bullshit; there's a lot of thought and wisdom that goes into actually building stuff around those patterns.
The Surgery Center of Oklahoma has managed to do with almost no administrative staff[0] and have considerably lower than typical costs.

One of the founders commented[1] on the cost disease article linked elsewhere in this discussion and noted that, while they've had their struggles with the government regulators, the state government has actually provided them with some cover. This is in large part because it saves the state a boat-load of money to send their employees there for medical treatment.

Because you just stopped at the kernel modules part and haven't spent time reading how HAL in Android actually works, starting at the HIDL link.

There are two HALs in Android.

The old HAL, previous to Treble, which was hardly used by OEMs.

And the new HAL, which is enforced by Treble.

On the new HAL, drivers are implemented as Android services using Android IPC via interfaces defined in HIDL, or by using the new shared memory APIs introduced in Oreo as well.

> Wherein the authors show, using previously untested correlations between two entangled photons, that maintaining realist interpretations of quantum mechanics (such as pilot-wave theory) as a fundamental concept require the introduction of locality-defying 'action at a distance' actions.

Not sure what the big revelation is supposed to be here. Everyone knows that Bohmian mechanics is non-local, that's exactly the point!

> The double slit experiment has been used in various forms to, over time, eliminate these channels. I'm not a physicist, but the language that they are using quite a few papers leads me to believe that these channels have been closed, and the realists are out of remaining options for maintaining realism.

No, no and no.

You are talking about unkeyed collision resistant cryptographic hashes. Which make collisions expensive to find.

The article is about a different kind of hash, namely keyed universal hashes. The idea behind a universal hash is that for any two distinct messages, the hash will only collide for a negligible fraction of keys. This is an absolute mathematical property, so it holds even against computationally unbounded adversaries. Such a function can be used to construct MACs/PRFs, such as GHash or Poly1305.
The Valley attracts talent only because that’s where all the startup jobs are. If you don’t want to work in startups, or if startups would branch out and stop glomming on to single locations, this would equalize more.
We fund startups all around the world! In the rare cases where a founder is unable to get a US visa for the duration of our program, we are open to doing something remote. We offer a lot of help figuring out the US visa system, which is in my opinion extremely sub-optimal. I believe talent is equally distributed in the world, and the US should want as many talented founders to come create businesses here as possible.

China is an especially interesting market to us given the quality of companies and entrepreneurs we see there.

Yes, you are right and I don't disagree with you. I understand this. And I really love New Zealand, no regrets moving here at all!

I am well aware of this because I have a hormone problem causing me to retain salt. So it isn't theoretical for me - I have to be extremely anal about it or else blood pressure medicine won't do me any good.

However what it boils down to in practice is that I've learned to not even ask whether you have a low-sodium menu. Because you probably don't, and even if you do, your idea of low-sodium is still way too much for what my body can take.

My solution is to only eat food prepared from scratch, or eat at specific restaurants where I can choose the exact ingredients that went into my meal. There is no point in restaurants trying to cater to people like me, because if they did I'd have no way to hear about it.

I'm serious about that. Advertising won't work because I've learned that advertising is misleading. "Reduced salt" means 25% less than a comparable product, which had several times what I could accept. Offering "healthy salads" won't sway me because I've learned the hard way that their salt content is usually just as high in practice as a burger and fries.

There are only two phrases that I respond to. "No salt added" and "Raw ingredients." If you're less restrictive than that, you're probably consuming too much salt. Even though you think that you're being good. So much so that if a normal person tries to eat what I eat, their first thought is going to be that the food tastes awful and needs more salt.

Incidentally for the record, our recommended daily allowance is 1500 mg, which is around 1/4 tsp of salt. Most adults in the USA eat more than double that. If you eat out every other day, you almost certainly are getting a lot more than most adults.
Mitra congrats!

I'm dismayed by the folks harping on the sodium content (for health reasons not taste). I think it warrants a deeper look because sodium intake is controversial. But there's lot of evidence that people can have more than 2.3g and still be healthy if you have normal kidney function, etc. Shrug, maybe they just wanted to find something to hate on.

Nuclear Thermal Rocket Thrust
I looked at some numbers and designs of nuclear thermal rocket, and the one thing that got my attention is how low the thrust is compared to chemical rocket of either a similar dimension or similar weight. I know how heavy the reactor is, and that would explain the pitiful T/W number. But it doesn't explain why a nuclear thermal rocket always produces way smaller thrust than even a chemical rocket of similar size. It essentially means you can't run coolant through your reactor as fast as you run H2/O2 mixture through a pipe. You certainly can throttle the reactor up to produce more heat so that the stagnation temperature always stays near the melting point of nuclear fuel. So, what is the reason of nuclear thermal rocket's under-performance?
