"Every civilization that has existed prior to the modern age has fallen"

No. Though every political organization has fallen, a great deal of the social and local political infrastructure remained the same, moreover, almost every political organization ever founded is an evolution of the one previous to it.

This one from Lada Adamic (which used to be on Coursera) is a good classic introduction to the subject, with video lectures: https://github.com/ladamalina/coursera-sna

It provides a friendly introduction to the topic, which would be good background before embarking on all the papers linked in the MIT syllabus.

> “I have mentioned earlier that it is not about precision but about index space.”

Right, and if you read in my comments it shows I have also been only talking about the index space as well, where int64 vs int32 is a matter of int precision for representing large amounts of indices, but where npy_intp will be of the higher precision (to match the platform’s address space) and will not be able to suffer the overflow issue you described unless it’s a custom compilation of numpy defining npy_intp as int32 even on a 64-bit system (which you seem confused about by repeatedly saying compilation isn’t a part of it, as if anyone is suggesting your personal workflow involves compiling anything, when I’m talking about how the numpy you have installed was compiled. If it’s standard numpy compiled for a 64-bit system, then the evidence suggests your claim is just wrong.)

You claim that indptr and indices arrays are silently converted from int64 to int32 on 64-bit platforms but you offer no evidence. You just keep saying that it happened to you, despite the actual code you linked indicating that it couldn’t happen. And I do actually work with indptr and indices arrays with tens of billions of nonzero elements in an Alexa top 300 website search engine every day, and have never encountered any such silent type conversion.

Given that this example of index int precision actually seems unfounded in the code, it just doesn’t seem relevant to any sort of static vs dynamic typing debate. There’s no such issue here that static typing would help with, because it’s clearly not causing the problem you think it’s causing in the dynamic typing code.

I could understand the integer arithmetic example they gave and I think you are pointing out how this is flawed security-wise (its use lies in explaining the method). This flaw is addressed by using finite field arithmetic but I did't understand that part too well.

One of the siggraph papers is titled ‘FontCode: Embedding Information in Text Documents using Glyph Perturbation’. This is a type of steganography where the shape of the font is perturbed in a way to encode information. Basically, you make a key value store (a code book in their jargon) of input letters mapped to subtle variations of the same letter of a specific font. My confusion arises from how you get Microsoft word to use these variations. Since the font file on your pc contains only one glyph for each letter, how do you get a text editor to use bastardized glyphs that are not in the OS?
the "barrow" portion of the wheelbarrow can carry loose items, including dirt or even water

Here I believe you are confounding a hollow body with central wheel placement, these are two disparate and potentially mutually compatible features.

anyone who has ever driven a well loaded wheelbarrow knows that they have a considerable danger of tipping, and I think this would be accentuated in the chinese design

If intended for heavy loads they tend to have stands emerging from the outer sides/corners (these are visible in many of the article's images), just the same as the modern ones. Also, because the weight is better balanced in the Chinese central-wheel model you can arguably use a fatter wheel (since you are taking less load and therefore have an easier time controlling the thing) which means increased stability and increased strength and longevity. Also, reduced affinity for 'sinking' in muddy or sandy conditions.

Placing most of the weight near the axle between the wheel and the ground

One observation is that the Chinese design (central placement of larger wheel) makes this possible with a higher center of gravity (and therefore easier to guide, while avoiding undesirable interactions of the load with plants/water/animals/etc.). A concern in wet weather, overgrown paths, etc.

A chinese wheelbarrow will require much more time to load

I believe this is a misconception based upon the view of the modern western wheelbarrow which is designed both as a vessel and a vehicle. Coming from an ancient Chinese peasant's perspective, the wheelbarrow would be an all-weather replacement for pack animals, and therefore the likelihood is that goods (for example agricultural harvests) would first be placed in to an appropriate container and then slung over the wheelbarrow in paired or otherwise balanced loads. The slinging would not require any real time investment, probably less than an animal. It means that you can bring the wheelbarrow down a winding path in mountainous fields, take your rattan or similar basket, load your harvest, and then dump it on the wheelbarrow. You might load 4, 6, 8 or 10 such baskets before moving the wheelbarrow. The above assumptions are based on my own observations observing actual agricultural work in remoter parts of China and Southeast Asia over the last 20 years.

Strangely, this whole discussion reminds me of the outrageously expensive industry of modern baby strollers, but also the modern stand-on electric monowheel style scooters, which could be said to be essentially a powered version of the simplistic form of the Chinese wheelbarrow.
This is the quandary facing all animal activists. We have to be positive since there's proof that things are improving, but at the same time when you start thinking about the billions that are as intelligent (or some more so) than our pets and are being slaughtered, its hard not to be overcome by pessimism. But as Jenkins says, we should not dwell on that. Because besides making you pessimistic, it also hampers whatever little ability you have to contribute.
Social highly-if-not-totally weights appearance over almost all other forms of human interactions.

In my experience, photos get about 10x the likes of text-based posts. We can argue the exact amount, but we all must notice that pictures get far most attention then everything else, correct?

Given this, isn't that quite obviously the wrong type of validation people should be seeking?

The superficiality of how one looks should certainly not be weighted 10x over all other aspects of one's personality, and brings to mind the worst aspects of high-school-based in/out-group mechanics.

At it's best, it's simply welfare for the rich. People who look good already get the lion's share of "likes" and attention in the real world.

It hardly seems like a good thing it should be so online as well.

My household has a similar debate around the usefulness of kindness and empathy for changing other people's behavior. My household has several empathetic and caring members, who frequently (and effectively) use those traits to guide other people into better behavior patterns, often just by existing in the same space.

On the other hand, sometimes there are dudes whose bad behavior is intractable, and the only halfway effective intervention is when I tell them forcefully to stop. Not viciously, but mercilessly direct, and little concession made for their comfort.

Although as I write that out, it looks like maybe the issue is that the framing is wrong - it's not empathy vs force, it's more like empathy and force. A question of choosing the right communication strategy for the person and situation.

I have no doubt when entitlement is the issue, getting (metaphorically?) punched in the face a couple of times is an important "teaching moment". It's probably not the case that all lessons are best taught like that.
You said it yourself "they're taking up headcount and letting them actually touch code is dangerous". My question is, how did they managed to get into Google if they apparently don't know how to write code? The only way to get into google is to go through a huge set of 45-min whiteborad crap. Not once, not twice, we're talking about 7-8 times! Going over the same stupid 45-min "technical screen" where only the original question varies. You need to know all the CS basic stuff + ability to scale (if possible). Like they all say in Silicon Valley - the only way for us to know if you're a rockstar is if you manage to crack a few meaningless problems on a whiteboard. Oh... and make sure to pick your favorite language. Your Resume tells us you have a MS in CS but we don't believe it. So we're gonna put you back into a college-like exam to make sure your degree isn't fake.

To me, that's step zero. I still can't believe companies like Google, etc get stuck at step 0. They don't seem to care about step 1, 2, 3, 4. It doesn't matter if you have 1 year or 10 years of experience, we all go through step zero (again, even though we got an MS in CS a few years back).

So, if Google ends up in a situation where "teams get stuck with multiple people for well over a year because it takes a long time to get them out", it's because the hiring process at Google sucks. If it is that costly and painful to hire the wrong people, then why Google hasn't put more resources to actually innovate and think beyond college-like evaluations. It is OK for people with zero experience, it is not OK for people with at least one work experience (which I call step 1). Of course, if you have 10 years of experience they need to use a different language in order to interact with you. So, unless someone just graduated from college looking for a job, you can't hire someone exclusively based on step 0 because it simply doesn't tell you if a candidate knows how to write code, build features, work in a collaborative environment, deal with requirements from product team, reuse exiting code, handle code reviews and feedback from peers, create frameworks or adopt new frameworks. All it tells you is if your CS degree is fake or not...
Par for the course for any business operating outside of traditional industries. Payment processors are continuously dropping merchants who they consider "high risk". Unfortunately for the merchants, they are not given any explanation on why they are "high risk", nor are they ever offered any chance to appeal the decision.

The result is a huge amount of businesses which are operating legally, filing taxes, and doing their best to abide by the payment processor's TOS being dropped without explanation. Furthermore, considering how incredibly monopolistic the online payment processing industry is, there's few alternatives once a merchant has been dropped.

Outside of PayPal and Stripe, you'll be hard pressed to find a payment processor suitable to handle worldwide online payments. The next step down from those 2 options are incredibly limited in comparison. An account closure on either of those two platforms is essentially a death sentence for any online store.

Imagine, these payment processors have the ability to terminate your operations at any time, for any reason they wish, and they do not even need to provide you with an explanation. Your business is at their mercy, and you never know when or if they will pull the plug.

Just another example of how the modern landscape is hostile to small businesses. These trends will continue, and you'll see plenty of innovative startups and small businesses get cut off from payment processing simply for being different. It's as if the payment processors are saying "Go open a traditional business! Sell toilet paper! Sell toys for kids!" But the reality is, nobody buys typical physical products from small businesses online anymore. They almost exclusively use Amazon and Walmart, or other major retailers.

It's really depressing out there.

> Western legal systems and governments traditionally viewed water and water rights as property, leading to overuse and contamination

That’s exactly the opposite of what is true. At least English law has never treated water as property. In England, and most of the east and midwest of the US, riperian doctrines apply to water. (I’m going to leave out the west coast, which has a nutso way of doing things.)

Common law riperian doctrine was strict: upstream property owners cannot impair the quality of water flowing through their land because downstream property owners have a right to unimpaired water quality. If we still did this, our rivers would be very clean! During the industrial revolution, the riperian doctrines were made looserc weakening the rights of downstream property owners.

The problem is that we don’t treat water like property. We can pollute it freely because nobody can sue us for it. I live on a river, and we can’t swim after a heavy rain because of all the crap washed into the river from upstream farms. If I had property rights in the water, I could sue those farmers, and the price of food would rise to reflect the externalities of farming. But we treat water as a commons, where no individual has enforceable property rights.

I think the big thing is with the internet, it makes a lot of these things much more discrete, as in, parsing information and evaluating it in chunks, rather than have a sense of continuity. Everything is either on or off, true or false, black or white. Encourages a frame of mind that selectively gathers and redistributes information. It may make sense with present 'state' but it might not make sense with respect to the humanities, respect to art, respect to many of the other sciences, history, etc. Picking up on lots of patterns and applying the data of today to fit the model.

I don’t love the new keyboards, but I program without any incident on them, though I try to cultivate a light, clean typing style.

I’ll even go so far as to say that I don’t mind the Touch Bar. But I rarely used media / fn keys to begin with and use C-[ for ESC where I can (e.g, vim). Often when I do use the Touch Bar it is to perform an action that replaces mouse / keyboard gestures (a plus, for me). Do not get me wrong though, the Touch Bar also displays a lot of useless information.

I’m not sure if I’d want fn keys on my next laptop (a fair number of my desktop keyboards don’t even have them), but realize other people’s workflows likely utilize them more.

What I would love is a modern, low profile, programmable mechanical keyboard though!

Pitch deck templates
Helloo please i need a format of pitch deck templates.
On HN, I really try to ignore the points. I personally know for me, if I simply read a point of view that is valid, that is enough to stick with me such that it continues to be part of my personality, or allows me to draw from my own self in slightly stronger way - the world is accepting of me, tolerant. I don't need to encourage it to be that with points. All I need to do is see 'Is it? Or is it not?'.

People are affected and influenced because they accept it as a rule of functioning. They want to influence things in such and such a way therefore they are subject to the same tactics of manipulation. Always depends on the rules you choose to believe in about the mind. Nerves that fire together wire together, and so on.

Isn't that definition exactly the problem? An ecologist would disagree of course, but how curious that every other species is considered part of the ecosystem, but we are not! We're subject to all the same ecological laws.

The humanity vs. nature separateness is of course entirely invented. But it's built into our very language: consider the other-ing effect of the term "environment" for instance.

> All of this legal wrangling over river personhood is an attempt to avoid having to show that effect.

You have it flipped around. The legal wrangling is almost entirely on the part of polluters seeking to avoid accountability (to great success, I might add). It helps that the 'environmental regulations' are written by the polluting industries themselves.

They use poorly characterized mass flows through the environment (there's that word again) and pollution etiologies (often "poorly characterized" because the company covered up its toxicity research, eg PCBs) like a cryptocurrency tumbler, laundering away their own liability for poisoning their neighbors. It's unconscionable.
