Ah ok, thanks for persevering.

What about if if society ate meat? There's no clear argument against it

So I think you're saying things like this because you're only considering humans (and I guess cats and dogs). The whole thing about 'ethical vegetarians' or whatever you want to call them, is they are people who don't just consider humans and nothing else when thinking about who is harmed (or rather, not just humans, cats and dogs). It seems entirely arbitrary to draw that line at the exact point between humans and everything else. At least, it's not easy to think of a reason to do this, except we are humans or I was brought up doing it this way etc, which aren't very good reasons. Whatever particular quality you choose, the line isn't there. Intelligence? Some animals are smarter than some humans, etc. For me and a lot of people, being able to feel pain, suffering, is a good line to draw. Anyway, I'm no expert, I haven't read or thought about this stuff for decades, there's a large literature on the subject, which it sounds like you don't know about, and shouldn't be saying things like "There's no clear argument against it" when you have no idea whether there is or not. (Christians think there's no clear argument against their god or their ridiculous mythology, well, it's clear enough if you aren't already a believer.) But from the evidence, it seems reasonable that animals deserve ethical consideration, not just treated like, well, like slaves, like pieces of 'meat' waiting to be exploited by humans. There's no clear argument they don't, I'd say. Although there's no clear argument is an unfortunate phrase, being so subjective.

It's why I think slavery is a useful comparison - they're not just ethical questions, but questions about who is to be even included in the ethical circle, who is worthy of consideration, respect, decent treatment. Before even considering whether they're getting it.

Also, I don't think I've heard the term moral views used like that before, it's sad that it's such a bad phrase for you. Although I'm in Australia, the country isn't full of religious people running around proclaiming their insane god-given morality unlike some, e.g. the USA.
Libraries are inherently anti-capitalist; they make knowledge available to all regardless of ability to pay. A system of community ownership of resources in order to benefit all members is the definition of "communist": that's where it enters the picture.

>the municipally-owned water system charges significantly lower rates than a neighboring town's privately-owned water system //

Which, as far as stereotypes goes at least, is "un-American, are you some sort of commie?" because it's a cooperative governmental system in which state ownership reduces costs and prevents a private enterprise from profiting from it.

Some interesting answers, including yours, thanks.

That was fun to see, thanks for posting! My masters project gets a mention there and I’d never imagined anyone would have ever read it!
That may be true but most of the price actions are merely noises. The cataclysmic ones show how mass hysteria can easily form and that is rather independent of the existence of manipulations. The problem is really that too much of capital allocation in China is still done through bank loans. And banks are not particularly good at spotting and adapting to new trends.
Very nice extension. I think one of the best things that’s happened to me productivity-wise is switching from an employer who was very loose/lenient about personal use with company computers to one who is very strict about it (we work with much more sensitive data). Knowing I can’t just jump over to HN whenever I want makes it a lot easier to focus. I also like the clear segmentation between my digital work environment and my personal one.
This is a trope I see commonly repeated but have a difficult time understanding. In what way does (in this case, for instance) an algorithm predicting political bias come to reflect the political biases of the person implementing the mathematical operations behind some gradient descent scheme more so than whoever provided the labels of whatever data it's ultimately trained on?

Interestingly, this has changed over the various versions. In v1 on arXiv, this statement is presented without proof (as Example 2.2). In v3, it is Example 3.3 and has received an extra sentence with a proof hint. In v5 (and still in v7 which is current) it has turned into a Proposition. So it seems likely to me that reviewers complained that there wasn't a proof in previous versions.

Vim and emacs are huge, powerful texteditors that aren't competing with nano. Ed is...unusable in 2018. So just pico.
Why would you care about readability of URLs, when each client can just show the cached metadata? Which is what happens anyway, kind of, in your browser history and anywhere you share the links. Most people won’t read the url.

Now, as for the incentives. In fact, DNS does get poisoned and that’s why DNSSEC was invented. The same exact thing can be done on a DHT with private keys and certificates authenticating the author of a document. Except you don’t have the kind of dynamics that lead to centralized databases and breaches. Instead, we can even have content addressing, so the same exact resource can be cached even if it would have been “on a different domain”. And you know that resource hasn’t been changes from under you. Talk about incentives — there is a huge incentive for hackers to access these giant centralized honeypots and change up what’s being returned from a URL, or do phishing based on a slightly similar domain name.

Look up the MaidSAFE project and tell me, how exactly is the Kademlia DHT there vulnerable against everyone willing to spin up hosts? You can still use certificates and domains can still sign everything. The domain system is basically a search engine, which also has its own incentives.

And finally, Capitalism is the 2nd best system for organizing people and information, the first being open source. The Web, Wikipedia, WebKit, MySQL, PHP and Linux have long ago beaten AOL, Britannica, MSSQL, ASP.NET and Windows NT Server.
It's not really technological or social, it's logistical.

We've had all kinds of redundant network topologies that used independent networks for decades. The internet is decentralized, and it works pretty well, all things considered. The web is fairly decentralized, too: DNS is independent of a registrar is independent of a network service provider and all are independent of ISP's, and even those are independent of backbones.

The only thing that isn't very decentralized is the client-server IP/TCP/HTTP model. You can provide decentralized versions of HTTP services, but those are the things that are the most costly and inconvenient to decentralize. It can be done, but it's a huge pain with very little benefit.
It's different to a co-op model as you don't have to individually buy in, it's provided as a function of the state, no? Are their commonly private [non-state run] libraries in USA that you can become a member of, I'd guess not, which makes your claim about election/forced dependency seem strange (in context, though it might work more generally).
I just finished 2 year contract with one of the largest banks in the world. Officially, they don't hire remote developers, but they have absolutely everything necessary including culture around having team members in widely different time zones.

After just a month I was able to convince my manager to allow me working fully remotely and I only showed up in the office about once in a quarter while working 350km away. I could not have been happier but apparently once I reach tenure I would have to be hired and could no longer work remotely.
Have you tried asking SF people to relocate to those places? Because I and most of my coworkers say we would do so easily.

I hear the complaint about not finding local engineers in those places. Thing is, we don't find any local engineers in SF either. Maybe 2-3 people out of 100. Everyone else is a <5 year transplant, relocated either by us or their previous employer. We have more people from the same random Chinese high school than from California.
Hard to say. I own them both but haven't thoroughly read through either. I would probably go with The Rust Programming Language, though, I suspect you can't go wrong with either.

The tool/culture doesn't insist on this. One of the arguments for using languages like haskell is: it is easier to refactor your abstractions as necessary along the way, so you should just pick the one that works now, although the tooling around could always be improved.
For those not following this: taxing intermediate products and raw materials encourages more outsourcing since it makes it cheaper to just offshore everything.

Can anyone recommend a JS library which calculates "optimal" node positions for an acyclic graph under the following constraints:

- Nodes are rectangles that have width and height (they'll later be rendered as HTML divs) and should not overlap

- If possible, edges should not overlap with nodes / cross any node's boundaries

?

I really just need the positions as I would like to have precise control over how and when things are rendered. So far, I've been using WebCola for this and while it works ok, it tends to become quite slow in some situations.
Universities we're once institutions of learning and enlightenment. Apart from medicine and similar, they really only serve three purposes today: networking (as you mentioned), burning money in order to print degrees, and staying in the black.

The intrinsic value of a modern degree is that it demonstrates that a person can finish something that they started, regardless of being a number during that process.

First of all, this looks like a great project...

...but the problem I've always had with these types of systems is that there's always that one item on your to-do list which ends up more complicated than you expected: So at the end of the day you're stuck with either (1) redefining the scope of that one to-do list item so that you can enjoy your evening and browse the web or (2) sticking with the original scope of your todo item and then you don't get to enjoy your websites/evening, even if you've worked hard otherwise.

In this way, what was supposed to be a cut-and-dry, objective productivity metric unavoidably devolves into a subjective decision.
Thanks, Vivaldi is literally the only "proprietary" software I use and had looked for the source before, can't believe I didn't know about this...
Imho it comes to incentives and different factions keeping each other in check, the same way it's done in Bitcoin and in some ways in Democracy. Although it's important to note that Decentralised systems are different to Distributed systems. In decentralized systems, there exist parties with more influence than others but none of those has enough influence to overpower all of the other ones.

You could see this play out every time any party has tried to take full control of Bitcoin. So far everyone has failed
Much cheaper short term because the majority of projects are not finished or fail to provide a roe. Long term things could shift as big opportunies get missed.

Frankly, I'm surprised this doesn't get more attention.

At present, Twitter, et al are in an incredibly weird position. They claim to be "public spaces" which is the foundation of the lawsuit against Trump blocking people and making company announcements SEC-compliant. Further, they claim to be "neutral" but apply "quality filters" and flag bad (but not illegal!) content. But then Twitter revokes the blue checks for poor behavior and they all ban people for bad (but not illegal!) behavior.
at least claim they weren't playing as editors.

So they're only the particular thing to a particular audience when they need to be but something else when it's more convenient.

I don't see how the reasoning fits together.
First of all, SW engineering is a practice with a lot of responsibility. The main responsibility lays in writing code, that is easy to understand. For example, if you think you write well written code, then try reading code that you have written a couple of months ago. Usually, a very painful experience :D

So try to write code for an audience. This has been the trigger for me. Also I encourage code reviews and TDD.

The main learning resources for me have been, Clean Coder videos by Robert C Martin aka Uncle Bob. They are pure gold. They can feel awkward, but after a while they make sense.

Also DDD domain driven design is a key topic to tackle.

Books:
- Clean code
- DDD by Vaughn Vernon

Videos:
- Clean coder E1-E52

With these two books and videos you are on a good track! These worked for me.
Or maybe you're underestimating the significant number of people working in tech whose empathy skills are definitely below par and sympathize with the right because "the best and smartest always win"?
> the fact of the matter is that there's no coming back from a government with broken courts. If the supreme court ever gets to the point where one party is packing it and they're ignoring precedent, that's game over.

We're already past that point. The only reason why it's not immediately obvious yet is because of the slow pace of change on the court - but you only need to look at the kinds of questions asked at nomination hearings to see that it's all about politics of the day, and judicial impartiality is not a serious consideration anymore.

I wouldn't listen to someone who couldn't spot the Nazi danger at the time, many Jews left Poland before the war because they spotted the evil looming over them. The lefties today make the same mistakes those Jews who stayed did, ignoring the situation and the problems of globalisation, illegal immigration and mixing of cultures and religions.

It is not even an appeal to authority, it is an appeal to romanticism, as if being stuck there and having to fight for your life is some kind of achievement which give you an insight. Smart people don't even get into those situation and I would rather listen to them.

My grandparents managed to escape before the war started because they took what Hitler said and what he did at a face value unlike many others like this guy who preferred to bury their face in the sand, all their family died there.

Their conclusions are exactly the opposite to this guy, they believe in the need of homogenous nation states and can't believe what the west is doing to themselves. They can see that intolerance and antisemitism is mainly coming from the left these days and they prefer the new right wing parties in Europe over the centre left of Corbyn and its ilk.
I spent 6 months in Paris when it was being bombed by Algerian Terrorists. All the garbage can lids were welded shut and soldiers patrolled the subways with bomb sniffing dogs. There were a couple bombings while I was there. My intention is not to romanticize it because people died and were hurt but as a young person feeling invincible, man was it exciting living dangerously (well maybe not that dangerous but still).
i2p has some design feature (or flaw) that make it different

That’s all common prejudices you have about right-wing people. But you’re right on one thing: It’s very dangerous. You’re encouraging people to have prejudices to the point of being ok with killing or justifying the killing of white people.

Example: White people getting expropriated and killed in South Africa hurts no-one’s feelings, unfortunately.

The real question here is not the ethnicities, but sorting lies from truth, moral from amoral.

And the killing of people is amoral in ALL cases. Even if the victim is white or male. And that’s what the right-wing have been saying all along, despites layers of lies that are spread over them.

It is a real, big big big problem that whites and males are disparaged today to the point of being fired from Google when they protest for illegal mistreatment or put errorneously in prison in UK for reporting on crimes performed by the protected classes, and encouraging the disparaging of people who say just-that is what 52% of the population are fed up with.
> This spring I visited Notre Dame in Paris. I saw four soldiers patroling the street, spread out a few meters apart from each other, one finger close to the triger, barrel pointing to the ground...This may be all security theatre. Or the times are really changing.

I don't think times are changing...thirty years ago I crossed the border in north Ireland, which was heavily militarized and patrolled, and drove past police stations there, which were heavily militarized. Then went to Paris and ran across sandbag covered watchpoints around the US embassy, possibly because of the recent CSPPA attacks. Then we went to the FRG a few weeks after Reagan made a Berlin speech (protested by tens of thousands of people in west Berlin), and the US/FRG/NATO presence even in cities like Nuernberg were ever-present, especially amid tensions between the Warsaw Pact and NATO.

So no, I don't think times are changing.

one single lesson I took away from that, it is that all of the worst atrocities in the history of the world grow out of a seed of convincing people that there are other people out there who are (for whatever reason) less than them

Isn't that what most Police espouse? That there is a 'blue line' and they judge who is good and who is less than good?

whenever you want or need to do something more than shuffling bits between buckets with different names, do some research. most likely someone already did it and published a library for it.

test third-party libraries. it's uncommon to find bugs, but it's not so rare that it happens only to others.

don't forget to leave comments. a lot of my code review questions could be answered (hence could be not asked in the first place) by a well placed comment.

sometimes people say that code is documentation or code should read like documentation. this is false. code can explain (usually poorly) what it does but it can't give a rationale why it does it the way it's been written, can't say what it doesn't do, etc. always write some documentation - comments and commit messages at least. this should be enforced in code review.

i'd say engineering is about not writing code unless absolutely necessary. code is an asset, but it's also a liability. you really don't want more than you need.
The actual lines are: "They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people." Explain how prior comment differs significantly from the actual quote.

I have no particular stake in the specifics of AMP here, but X being a subset of Y does _not_ mean that X is necessarily no more complex than Y. Adding restrictions on something necessarily gives a subset of the original thing, but abiding by those restrictions may be complex.

The example that comes to mind is that every formal language on {a, b} is a subset of the regular language given by /[ab]⁎/. It's incredibly easy to recognize the latter language, but there are literally undecidable languages that are a subset of it.
> It's interesting that YouTube has made no effective efforts to improve their quality. //

You imply it, but it's worth noting that they have made efforts but failed/stopped. Google can't/won't fix it. I suspect as someone else mentioned they realised that fixing comment quality reduces "engagement"; like tabloid news.
every programmer needs to do this at some point in their life. it is too easy to take take modern languages for granted. but i'm a little disappointed that you dogged `make`. i think the programming landscape would be a lot more effective if people took the time to learn about what already exists (not just make but autoconf/automake/configure) instead of reinventing the wheel every three years.
20 years is plainly a long time ago for any professional in tech.

Your time frames aren't correct though. The Web/Internet revolution ignited in 1994 with Netscape. The dotcom bubble started in August 1995 with the Netscape IPO. By September 1998 (20 years ago), it was already 3/4 of the way to peak bubble and everything was already very crazy. 1998 was prime Internet revolution (also the year Google was founded). The Nasdaq climbed 100% over two years, first hitting 2,000 in mid 1998. The dotcom mania topped out in late 1999, the market topped out shortly thereafter.
