A more complex instruction set needs more silicon to decode, and thus is less power efficient. However, I'd imagine that Intel are pretty good at decoding x86 at this point; they've had plenty of practice, so it might balance out.
I don't see that in the figures that I've gone looking for.

suggests that, in inflation adjusted terms, most workers wages are up a modest amount (6%) since 1979, while the 10th percentile workers have declined by 5% in that period.
What do you mean abolish zoning on federal level? Zoning is controlled by municipalities, as a result of Euclid v. Ambler (turns out using police force to control where you can build things is not unconstitutional).
Honestly, the issue isn’t zoning in general, it’s Euclidean zoning, up to and including municipal control of zoning ordinances. Urban planning is hard, and cities, especially small ones, don’t necessarily have the proper resources to do it well. Combined with plentiful NIMBYs, you get, well, the nonsense we have now.
Maybe zoning at the state or federal level (like in Japan) would help, but that would also make it possible to enshrine BAD zoning into law for everyone. I mean, at least a municipality has a shot at doing some zoning reform since they are constitutionally allowed to (if the political will is there).
One good baby step is to remove the distinction between single and multi-family home zones. This would result in duplexes, triplexes, fourplexes, and little apartment buildings interspersed in neighborhoods. It’s not perfect, but it slowly increases density.
We don’t need to abolish zoning, we just need to zone intelligently and without the landed gentry using the legislative branch to keep their property values artificially high.

+1. This is the approach I'm currently taking. I tried starting with books and tutorials but felt I wasn't learning much just being spoon-fed code and copy+pasting. I think it's much more illuminating to attack the problem with a beginner's mindset and work it out for yourself, at least up to a point (to start I'm working on implementing a small subset of Scheme). If I occasionally get stuck I'll peek at a book just enough to get un-stuck. I'm having a blast with it and learning a ton. Once I get tired of implementing language features I'll probably start from scratch and follow a book the second time through. For me it's often easier to absorb problem-solving concepts if I've attempted the problem myself before.
Having access to automobiles, vaccination, running water, and anti-biotics goes against biology.

On the other hand, getting eaten by a tiger, living with ringworms, having your teeth fall out before middle age, or having 50/50 odds of dying by the age of 4 is perfectly natural, does not go against biology.

I don't think biology is a great litmus test for how we want to structure society.
Comodo most certainly had copies of everything on their forum servers. They had to be revoked. Yes, some time later they started using HSM's. Too little, too late. They lost a lot of trust after those incidents.
1. we aren't all rich. most are poor. 1/7 have trouble affording food. some people can't even get clean water. meanwhile, the rich enjoy unprecedented influence over politics, the market itself, and more luxury than they can even consume. they can afford to think long-term, whereas the poor cannot. inequality is an issue in and of itself.

2. wealth is expanding the fastest for the higher income brackets. the lower income brackets are barely holding ground.

3. i already hinted at this: relative wealth equals relative power. if everyone has $1 that they can disposably donate to a politician's election campaign, the guy with $2 has twice the influence of a person with $1. this means that the guy with $2 has a much higher chance to affect the rules of society such that their $2 becomes $3 at the expense of everyone else. this is the way things work. the higher the economic inequality, the higher the political inequality.

> Economics has overdeveloped tools for reasoning based on price information in a "free" market of "rational" agents, and underdeveloped tools for actually valuing resources from first principles. The former corresponds to your first axis ("how much you want it") and the latter to the second axis ("how much it costs the world to let you have it"). That's why, when facing any hard problem, the economics solution is to assume that markets will figure it out i.e. the two axis are equivalent. (Further, whether the two should be conflated is actually a political decision, which is ignored in this sly exchange!)

This is not true at all. There is no conflation between "how much you want it" and "how much it costs the world to let you have it". Even the models taught in introductory undergraduate courses on economics are capable of addressing the "problems" you're describing.
Is that the same as XScale, or something else?
The possibility is there, but we haven't pursued any specific integrations yet. For obvious reasons, we would most likely work on Nuclide integration first, and something like VSCode support would probably need to come from the community. As Bowler is primarily providing the API framework, most integrations will likely just be plugins that make calls to the Bowler API, or execute the bowler CLI, with appropriate queries.

The person you're responding to wasn't arguing against this 2-dimensional currency idea. They were explaining that it would make no sense to model as complex numbers.

A lot of the confusion in this thread seems to come from people believing that the main idea of complex numbers is that they are just pairs of real numbers.

That is wrong -- pairs of real numbers are just pairs of real numbers. Complex numbers are pairs of real numbers with a particular multiplicative structure.
I think this is the wrong way to look at it. It was never actually 100/0. Homemakers did (and still do) a large amount of informal and uncompensated labor that doesn't show up in the employment statistics. In essence, employees used to be paid wages that allowed them to cover their living expenses with enough left over to pay for a full-time live-in nanny/chef/housekeeper/social secretary/etc. (in the form of their spouses).

We're moving to a world where it's more acceptable for men to choose to be homemakers and more common for women to have professions other than homemakers, both of which are good. But we've also moved from a world where the typical family had one income and one adult's full-time labor to support the household to a world where the typical family has two incomes and zero adult's full-time support without an equivalent jump in standard of living that would allow them to comfortably hire out for all the previously uncompensated labor.

In other words, typical working age adults used to only have one full-time job (as either a homemaker or a member of the formal labor force). Now adults of both genders have a full-time formal job plus a part-time job maintaining the household but without the equivalent real income increase that would imply. That's the crisis.

git log -p start-commit-sha1..end-commit-sha1 will display the commit log including diffs associated with each commit from the commit after start-commit-sha1 up to the end-commit-sha1.

If you make changes to your code and/or commit messages and subsequently rebase the branch, then the end-sha1-value will change (since you now have a different set of commits). If you run the same git log -p command with the new end-commit-sha1 value, then the log output will differ based on the changes you made when you rebased.

So if run a diff between the two git log -p outputs (one with the original end-commit-sha1 and the other with the new end-commit-sha1), you'll be able to see the difference between the two logs which includes the changes you made to the code and/or commit messages).

Yes! Someone said it! It is time to put the past behind us and think about the future.

I feel as though somehow the West (as a civilization) has become overcome with embarrassment at what it did in the past (to Africans, Native Americans, and Asians, in particular) and now, instead of moving on and pursuing reconciliation in good faith, we have decided the only recourse is to obsess about how we are the enemies of civilization. Future? What future? We did so much bad stuff in the past. How could we take any pride in who we are? We're still so racist, sexist, etc. Nevermind the fact that modern life owes a great debt to the West (aircraft, antibiotics, modern representative government, etc.)

There are serious problems facing the world today (climate change potentially a existential threat to our species). If you look at the past few centuries, you would think that it is precisely the West that has the institutions and paradigms to address those problems. I'm not saying China isn't destined for great things, or won't contribute to addressing the problems. But imagine what China could do if it worked hand in hand with a 21st century USA that was as determined to end climate change as the 20th century USA was to end various infectious diseases (polio, tuberculosis, measles, for example) or put a man on the moon. Our team is losing the basketball game because one of our star players is at home moping about a mistake he made last season. It's societal narcissism, and, instead of helping "the Rest" (to use Niall Ferguson's shorthand for non-Westerners), it serves no one.

My point is: we need to see we are sick as a society. We are too preoccupied by things that happened in the past. Isn't this the lesson of at least one of the great classical tragedies? Why did Romeo and Juliet die? Because their families were stuck in the past and couldn't see that the future was more important than their petty feuds. There's no question we should continue to mind how we treat others (women, immigrants, people from other ethnicities), but we also (in the US, say) need to rediscover a sense of shared national heritage and purpose. History did not, as Fukuyama says, end with the destruction of the USSR. Surely, now that the USSR is gone, the interesting (and peaceful!) work should begin. Instead we're bickering amongst ourselves?
It depends on the regime you're operating in. In a processor that's superscalar but in order the higher cost of decoding two x86 instructions versus decoding two ARM instructions is actually significant. But if you're reading instructions in at one or two bytes per clock tick x86's more complicated instructions make a lot of sense since they save on instruction stream size. And if you're dealing with a modern wide issue out of order machine the decoding costs are just lost in the noise.

EDIT: Oh, and load-op-store instructions make the level below superscalar a bit harder to design at least. And x86's strong versus ARM's weak memory ordering guarantee have effects even in OoO-land though which one is better is a very complicated issue I'm not going to try venturing an opinion on.
> Econ 201: Immigrants are consumers too. Adding more demand for some thing (consumers of products) will increase the price of that thing (wages of producers).

Immigrants are always consumers; they also tend to nearly universally be workers. So, they're not increasing demand for products in isolation; they're also increasing the supply of workers.
I'm not into conspiracies either but just follow the money. Who is endowing universities with billions of dollars? And what types of social issues / humanities do these universities teach to kids and which ones due they tend to ignore?

Ask HN: Current legality of running an ICO for a startup?
This discussion may very well have already occurred, but I'm curious as to how legal it is to fund a startup via an ICO (i.e., create a fancy lander with a lofty stated mission, draft out a whitepaper with a few nice graphics inserted to demonstrate to the public how your loft mission will be built out) these days? I know the SEC has implemented new rules but I don't know how they apply to a startup taking money from the public in the form of a currency which cannot be used to purchase anything.

I began pondering if this is the "new" method of fundraising for today's "leading-edge" tech entrepreneurs. I see many sites like https://sparkster.me/ advertising a sale of tokens and it makes me wonder if I've missed an opportunity to fund the growth of a startup (potentially to a large scale) without outside interest.
Remember that that's just the interface they present to you. It's entirely possible that they simply haven't put much effort here and no one's worked on improving those models.

However, what they present to advertiser could be completely different, since that's where the money is.
Americans (myself included) typically have a strong individualist streak. If you don't have a "reason" to do so, such as taking care of them or not being employed, it's typically seen as laziness. Personally I couldn't wait to move out. After college I had a 6 month internship where I lived with them and spent my entire stipend on gas for the 45 minute commute, then moved out as soon as I had enough for the apartment deposit.
You are aware that it's pretty much only American companies that are bitching about GPDR, right?

EU laws already cover EU companies as a matter of domicile.
GPDR only applies the rules of service delivery already present in EU.
EU service delivery rules say that a service is delivery point is considered the place where the service consumer is, not where the provider is domiciled.

People like to get in hot fights about this all the time, and I could be taking the bait, but there is an overhead to instruction decoding and fetching that changes with the complexity of the encoding, and there is also a cost of implementing all the instructions.

Simpler instruction set means fewer gates means less power draw, with some hand waving. The ARM 1 had 25,000 transistors and the ARM 2 had 30,000. The contemporaneous Intel 386 had 280,000 and the 486 had 1,200,000. Intel had the engineering resources to design powerful chips that people bought in droves, ARM had a very small number of engineers and had to design something smaller but as a consequence the ended up with very low power consumption, which wasn’t important until people put it in phones. Since then Intel has optimized for power consumption but they were catching up for a long time.

In most modern CPUs, other factors dominate and instruction set is less important. Nowadays we have plenty of gates to spare and the question is how much can you accomplish at a given price and power envelope. And it’s irrelevant to talk about power consumption of a baseband processor unless you’re also talking about the power consumption of the radio, since they get used together.
See a psychiatrist.
In purely economic terms it's easy to appraise natural spaces and forests. Some of that real estate is privately owned, and is occasionally purchased by wealthy individuals and foundations who intend to keep it undeveloped. So we have a history of comparable sales which can be used to estimate the value of other parcels, including government owned parks.

I know some people are uncomfortable with placing a monetary value on nature. But it's a useful exercise because it forces us to be explicit about what we consider important rather than discussing vague platitudes.
Surely any species that manages interstellar travel will have a much easier time growing sentient beings to eat on their own planet(s), rather than going to other solar systems, lifting the people there out of their gravity well into space, and consuming them?

i think this is about individualism/nuclear family vs more traditional family model.

individual success and personal independence is valued in (modern?) us culture, not contribution to broader family.

if you are contributing to the family income, your family is being needy, if you are living at home to save money, you are unable to do it on your own, etc etc. true pragmatism is sacrificed in the name of the all-powerful super-individual

plus even if you are not ready to begin a family for many years, you should be out 'living the life' and having disposable partners, showing off your prowess by having some fancy apartment, etc.

^ and queue the people who will criticize me for making life about starting a family, only belying my point...

It could be argued that private companies censoring you violates your first amendment rights. And it probably will be decided by the supreme court in the next few years.

Free speech is a concept, not just the bare letter of the text of the bill of rights. [1]

And there are examples of private companies being forbidden from censoring or removing people.

For example, the courts ruled that a private airport was forbidden from kicking out people who were there to hand out flyers. [2]

And, do you seriously think it is ok for the private electricity company or the postal service to deny access to their network because they disagree with your politics? Is it really ok, just because "property rights"?

The first telegram network was a total monopoly, and was used as a tool by the wealthy to manipulate elections and tamper with commodities prices.

It was because of this that we got common carriage laws.

Back then, would you have defended the telegraph company banning journalists who criticized labor practices in coal mines? Why not? It's their private property after all. Those labor organizers and human rights activists should have thought about the consequences of their actions before attempting to expose child labor.

What in particular are you referring to?
Use "the newspaper test". If an article appeared in a local newspaper about the decision and action you made, and your family and friends read the article, would you feel good about it? Here is a video of some ol' man explaining it well - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgvBV6kWE54

If you are really invested, have a conversation with the highest decision making authority you know about what you would like to do and what would be a fair way for you to continue with this? Tell him you are broke and then offer him solutions - buyout the codebase for a token sum? future revenue share? have them invest in you? If the guy/gal is worth his salt this wont be a waste of time.

You would be surprised and what you can get if you just ask.
A median would do a great job of not being affected much by the top 1% or even 10%...

...but at the same time could be virtually unaffected by bringing the bottom 5% completely out of the worst poverty, which some people argue is the top priority, so I'd be worried about adopting this.

I think we do need a single number though. As soon as you have multiple metrics, nobody knows how to balance them anymore. And it's infinitely easier and more realistic to ask our 'intelligentsia' to develop a more easily digestible metric, than to somehow turn all citizens into financially literate critical thinkers. Most people are too busy earning their salary to support and raise their families, to be able to spend the significant time investment required for that kind of critical financial thinking. It's too much of a burden to ask.
