> This is why the USSR created the Polio vaccine, Venezuela created the MMR vaccine, and India leads the world in drug resistant antibiotics.

> OH WAIT.

The USSR actually did a lot of interesting work developing phage therapies which could become increasingly important as current antibiotics become more and more ineffective due to antibiotic resistant bacteria.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phage_therapy

And it's not like any of the vaccines you listed were developed by corporations following capitalist profit-motives. The ones I checked were developed by researchers focusing on contributing to the public good, for instance:

> Salk [developer of the first successful polio vaccine] campaigned for mandatory vaccination, claiming that public health should be considered a "moral commitment."[7] His sole focus had been to develop a safe and effective vaccine as rapidly as possible, with no interest in personal profit. When asked who owned the patent to it, Salk said, "Well, the people I would say. There is no patent. Could you patent the sun?" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonas_Salk)

But of course, you probably didn't know that. People who write comments like yours usually don't know much beyond certain ignorant dogmas.
That has nothing to do my argument. Just because people can't detect homoglyphs doesn't mean we should keep overloaded urls and shouldn't strive to make them more user friendly.

There's still value to be gained from having easily readable urls.
The ducts get very large, so trying to fit them in existing infrastructure is a big challenge. Also consider that much of original 'spare' space has been repurposed for additional systems (CCTV, PA, additional power etc).

It's different for new infrastructure where this can be allocated more readily at a smaller marginal cost.

Those examples don't prove anything. First off, the http ones would appear different, they would have no lock. And 99.999999% of websites don't have a different www. and non-www. page. Showing www. for that 1 in a billion site, for that 1 in a million user, is insane.

There's a cheap and timeless emotional thrill in supporting a rising underdog, but if Intel declines too far, that thrill will not be cheap, but very expensive for most of us here. AMD will gladly collect the same quasi-monopoly margins that Intel enjoyed for the past decade, should Intel become enough of a hot mess to permit that. So be a bit careful what you wish for.
Living standards, calorie consumption, GDP, literacy and life expectancy skyrocketed higher and faster for more people anywhere in history under the early years of the USSR and PRC but we tend to only talk about those metrics when they're convenient.
I probably mean more in the "human interest" relation of experiences sense than anything like a comprehensive guide to the profession. I'm not wholly ignorant of what happens to bits after they leave my router, but I know nothing about the people involved in making that happen, and I don't get the impression that it's widely written of. Anecdotes about daily challenges tend to be interesting; I would probably have gone quite a long time without ever knowing about port 139 otherwise I'm sure. But, I certainly wouldn't want to try to compel anyone to write anything they're weren't going to write anyway, so please don't take this as anything other than an expression of interest.
> it’s going to need to know where I am to provide me the forecast

Why would you think that? I don't need to give a weather app my location. It only needs to have one or more locations of interest to me. My weather widget pulls multiple locations for me, and has no access to my location data.

#1 source of malware on the Android ecosystem was flashlight apps. I don't disagree that there are examples of apps or code that people have written and given away for free just because, my comment was more along the lines of "companies" giving away a free app.
Just curious, at that level of income (and presumably the savings that come with it; you don't sound like an extravagant spender), there are probably a good number of countries you can easily legally migrate to, if going back to your home country isn't an option? I believe there are countries where if you invest a house or business in, they let you become a legal permanent resident there? (Perfectly understandable if you just prefer to stay in America though; just a thought since you mentioned "painful existence" right now.)

[edit] This seems to be a good list of such countries: https://www.msn.com/en-in/money/realestate/30-countries-wher...
Air conditioning in a large, unenclosed space is quite costly and inefficient. Stations typically have passive ventilation (in most NYC stations along most of the length of the platform, plus entrances). And then there’s the massive tunnel that lies between stations. The London Underground (which is referenced in the article) did a lot of things, but they didn’t try to air condition the stations. They did in-station air circulation, active ventilation from surface air, heat exchange cooling from existing cool water sources, and heat re-capture to heat homes.

Then, of course, more specific to NYC, is that it’s more worthwhile presently to spend money on making the trains run more smoothly (whereby passengers will spend less time in the station), as the system has major issues there (and not enough money as-is).

Well you framed it in the context of an adrenaline junky. If someone has a specific system they're tediously following, expecting a certain regular profit at regular time intervals, I don't think that's an adrenaline pumping endeavor, that's more like a job.
I'm not trying to insinuate your policy isn't true, but to note that a simple policy isn't always applicable, and it might be a little complicated. All the "you"'s in my original comment can be taken as the "general you", not you specifically.

I wasn't trying to insinuate your policy was wrong (I actually assumed it was likely correct, a weather app doesn't generally require much in the way of server support from anything except the weather service), but that "Privacy policies don't need to be complicated" might be a bit optimistic for a lot of apps.
It's so unfortunate that the author didn't feel much the need of humility. He worked on some pretty cool stuff, it could have been great to present it differently.

But that's garbage. Have you tried it? It sucks.

> NIMBYs are pricing out the people who work in their neighborhoods through housing policy.

Well no, you're wrong and that's my point. Wages drive rent rate increases according to the data going back 70 years.

If all the people you call pejorative names suddenly saw things your way and we all changed the zoning and laws and such overnight AND all the construction companies in the entire state came to the Bay Area and built nothing but apartment buildings all day every day for the next fifty years then MAYBE rents would level off, or at least rise more slowly.

Please stop calling your neighbors names for liking their neighborhood. It's not nice and it doesn't win arguments. And you're wrong anyway.

We could build at the fastest conceivable rate and it would not solve the problem.

> But approving lots of jobs, not zoning/approving the necessary housing, and then making excuses/blaming others as there's a shortage and prices/commutes go up

Whoa dude. Who is this super-human political dynamo who has done all of this?

> a massive political failure

Yes. And calling people names won't help. Not even a little bit.

> painting NIMBYs with a broad brush

More like painting with a hose.
Having an OS and apps I can trust to not send location data solves that problem. The kill switches ensures no roving bugs, modem AT commands, and passive tower triangulation when I'm not using the radio. Pretty simple really.
Let alone a black bar, enough people have flagged the submission that it's #38 (off the front page) even though it has 120 points after 3 hours, and no huge comment count to trip the flame detector. It seems many would prefer that Terry Davis be forgotten.
Why do people still think the work week is 40 hours, and no more? Sure, it's the legal definition of a "full time, non-exempt employee", but are there really that many high paying, high skill jobs that are like "well, you put in 40 hours this week, see you next calendar week! :D". I can't think of any.
20 years ago, the MTRC in Hong Kong started to install platform screen doors to seal off the platforms and reduce their air conditioning bill as most of the cool air was of course just going into the tunnels.
That investment paid for itself within a few years.

Evacuating the heat from the train is another issue that must be addressed but it’s far from being an unaddressable one and there are already many examples of other cities implementing workable solutions.

Having doors installed along the platform has a number of advantages beside air conditioning: increased safety (no more suicides and accidents), more platform capacity since people can get right to the edge of the platform, potential increase in network capacity since trains can enter the station faster as they don’t have to slow down early to enter the platform at low speed to avoid passengers accidents.

Older networks like London, Paris and New York have a much harder time implementing these measures as they are often very deep and their infrastructure are old and quite vast, but they each have projects to tackle these issues, although in the case of New York, the cost will probably slow down adoption (not least because of the crazy Union requirements).
Anecdata, but I have a condition that led to a childhood and young adulthood of chronic pain. I noticed my way of handling pain I am aware is going to happen is vastly different to other scenarios. If I know it's going to happen, I feel it but feel no need to react. It just happens, and I can keep thinking and operating as if nothing is going wrong. But I still react to unexpected bumps even if they don't actually hurt that much (or at all).

I just thought it was nifty that my body can tell the difference and is happy to bypass the reactive part of pain when it wouldn't help.

Right, I'm agreeing with you. Portland has increased housing substantially without preserving affordability.
> We used a combination

You were involved? Why am I not surprised! Thanks for doing your part my friend.
Yeah, it's subtle but let me see if I can tease it out.

When you're talking about software you're talking about issuing a series of commands that execute in certain ways that produce a desired result. While you may have threading to give the appearance of concurrency(or actual discrete cores/etc) it's still largely a serial operation(with pipelining under the hood but largely not exposed at a software level).

In contrast FPGAs, CPLDs and the like use as you said Hardware Description Languages. These languages are not about issuing a series of actions but instead describing a blueprint for construction of physical hardware units(via SRAM LUTs, ASIC lithography or the like). Many things that are common and expected as a part of software(looping, blocking, etc) are either anti-patterns to not available at all.

Asking someone who's familiar with software to write HDL is like asking a Civil Engineer to do the job of a Mechanical Engineer in designing the drivetrain of a car. Both are professional engineers but they have vastly different skills.

I've spent a fair time in both worlds(although more on the software side) and learning FPGAs was like hitting a brick wall for ~3 months until you realize you have to unlearn all you know about software and build up an understanding from the hardware side first. It's also probably why firmware engineers tend to write so much copy/paste code and software engineers tend to write code that uses an order of magnitude more resources than they actually need.
The Power of a Neuron
Is there consideration for what impact it might have on the environment?

At least in the northwest US, damming has been devastating to the natural ecosystem.
These were my first thoughts too.

Even in otherwise (mentally) healthy people such accidents happen with some regularity but with the history of this particular illness afflicting him and the nature of the incident (walking away and then turning back before impact) makes the police's statement sounds dismissive and reckless at best and a coverup for the train company and/or avoidance of some significant workload (investigation of an avoidable death by train company vs a suicide of a mentally ill person) for themselves.

People with such illnesses typically hear voices and at any given time they could be engaged in a rather deep conversation with them(selves). Even if he was not listening to music and such or was otherwise distracted by something else it would not be surprising for a person of his illness to not being able to hear the train approaching. When he finally heard it, he apparently did turn but it was - unfortunately - too late.

Someone with more insight into the manner of train suicides would hopefully weigh in with more informed opinion but as far as I understand the typical way is to jump (not always literally) in front of the train.

Simply walking away from the train provides ample opportunity for an alert driver to stop or slow the train both of which are undesirable for the suicidal person and one (the slow train running over you) could be much worse than the other options.

Rather it seems the train driver failed (some one with more technical train knowledge would correct me here if there are some other reasons for not applying brakes in train even after seeing an - apparently - oblivious man walking away from the train) to stop the train in time and prevent an avoidable death.

I could be wrong but there is the possibility that it would be much desirable for the train company and easier (given the history of his illness) for the authorities to dismiss his death as suicide rather than hold the person(s) responsible for the accident accountable for their actions.

It's disingenuous to frame the problems people have with the 1% as being due to them not positively contributing to society.

Rather, the entire capitalist system, tax loopholes, and corrupt politicians have lead to increased disparity between the rich and poor.

I'm fine with the claim that some people who create value and are net-positive, such as many of the rich people, absolutely should have significant wealth.

However, they should not have the level of wealth they have now, wealth that is enough to feed every homeless in their cities for centuries, wealth that could house and clothe the needy for decades....

We should not have loopholes like the estate tax reductions which mean even after they die, their family line can greedily clutch onto the money for generations to come, creating a severe class divide.

Just because we are angry with the system does not mean we all think rich people are innately evil.

Also, we have all the evidence we need to condemn the current distribution of wealth: the current distribution of wealth is self-evidently disgustingly bad.
For the same reason everyone is blaming Facebook instead of Cambridge Analytica perhaps?
>Rather it seems the train driver failed

Depending on the train, it could take over a mile to stop. In some cases a train never fully stops (even during shift changes) as to get it going again from a dead stop would waste time.
Agree. Due to the highly extensible nature many editors or IDEs have, pretty much any back and forth on this issue is largely moot and boils down to a religious war.

Further, what does it being open source help? They could publish the app source without the tracking SDKs (especially as some of them are big enough now that you have to hassle with git-lfs even if you wanted to commit it) and then build it with the tracking SDKs before submitting to the App Store.

Software done well is a different game. Tesla’s touchscreen software quality, at least for the Model S, appears to be very, very low. There were some fun posts on HN earlier about a former Tesla employee whose NDA expired talking about the software.

A couple of decent embedded Qt developers should be able to cranks out a system of comparable quality in a few months. The major exception is the map app, which would take at least some real effort.

Realistically you can't go even 8km reliably in e-band, no way for 30... 30 at traditional frequencies like 11GHz, sure. But the atmospheric attenuation is extreme at 71-86GHz, as is the rain fade. Even with +15-18 tx power and 52db gain antennas.
If you want to get pedantic they're also not euler angles, they're 4x4 transformation matrices.

You can pick out euler angles just as easily as calculating the quaternion by taking the basis vectors through the matrix and extracting it from there.

This is specificly why I am a climate skeptic. Not a denier, mind you, but a skeptic when it comes to anything purporting to be “settled science.” It’s specifically because there is a strong resistance to anything damaging to the status quo, as supported by grant funding and, to a lesser extent, political agenda.

Frankly, it’s hard to trust academia on controversial topics.
Oh, that's unfortunate, Thank you :)

This is absolutely one of the worst aspects of Go. When you call append() on a slice, and then modify the contents of the result, you may or may not modify the original slice.

In a language that encourages concurrency, this indeterminism should be jaw-dropping. How many Go programs are safe only accidentally via an array's allocation policy (especially given how much code it requires to duplicate a slice)? Can you think of any other language that has such a design?
I had been wanting to make something like this for years! This looks really cool. I hope to give it a try on my next project.
> You will have much less variability of fruit type in bag 2 because you used color selection to fill it

Yes, I completely agree with you! You will have much less variability.

However, that's not what the paper argues. The paper argues that you would have more variability.

I'd appreciate you taking a look at the original paper (specifically, the bottom of page 2 [edit: and Figure 1]) and understanding my original argument.
