Thanks for the context :) Yeah, I understand it's a bit hard to work on a massive project of that scale with little feedback! It can be a bit draining.

I funny enough came at CLJ in part for the math functionality - but I might hit the awkwardness you mentioned. Mostly I'm quite interested in Neanderthal which runs native (MKL) and OpenCL. But living outside of the browser and JS/CLJS presents other limitations (like mixing geom with JavaFX for GUIs has some clunkyness - and the JavaFX wrapper libraries like fnfx are great but not polished)

It's great to see the no-org branch! I love org-mode and use it a lot (for templates and examples) but it always ends up a bit tricky for me to massage the code layout to fit the right narrative structure - so I get why you're moving away to encourage contribution :)

Thanks again for this awesome piece of tech. The API is just so fun to use once you learn how it works (it's so different and ergonomic from anything else I've used in C++/Cinder/etc.), and the end result looks very sexy. I'll keep using it and maybe add some PRs with examples once no-org merges in
I don't care about the popular crap on YouTube. I do care about the tiny subset of YouTube which is relevant to my interests. YouTube should accurately recommend related content, but does a terrible job, and is apparently getting worse. This is noticed by the obscure content creators, here's one:

>If MS had done their thing only with hardware they made

I recall Ms was banned from building their own hardware. Just like how Car companies are banned from retailing their own cars in the US.
I can't speak for F#, but it does have its origins in Ocaml, and whitespace doesn't matter there. Try putting that entire if-block (or any other statement) all one one line, just to see what happens.
Colin Kaepernick Pushes Nike’s Market Value Up $6B, to an All-Time High
I've been using Monzo for some while but since I've moved away from London for a while, I couldn't give them a UK address for the new checking bank account. I have been using the original Monzo prepaid debit card and was happy with it but that was discontinued.

Funny enough, I am also a long time TSB customer which is a bank mentioned in the article. Ignoring their huge mess around migrating users to new platform (made by Spanish bank that owns them now), their mobile app is surprisingly good.

Given I travel a lot and have lived in multiple countries, I have several bank accounts so I don't rely on any single one.
How are they joined at the hip, other than Google being the default search engine that is easy to change in the preferences menu?
Alternatively, Apple could succeed in places that tend to be less enthusiastic risqué content than even the US (e.g. China is one of Apple's biggest markets).
I actively use a #4 (the Samsung Freeform 5) as my main phone. It supports calling and texting, but that's about it. Works decently for its purpose but you have to remember that you lose the ability to view emojis and read group chats on a dumbphone, plus the web is slower than molasses and you have to send a text if you wanna tweet with it. I don't recommend this and I'm getting supplies to upgrade to an iPhone 4.
Thanks for the suggestion! I've also been simultaneously reading You Are Not A Gadget by Jaron Lanier, and The Efficiency Paradox by Edward Tenner, both of which seem to be pretty good reads so far.
If you're developing for the web you'll need to use more than one anyway, because you'll need to know what your site looks like in Chrome.
For people interested in looking deeper, this work is called RustBelt. Useful web pages are the project's homepage (https://plv.mpi-sws.org/rustbelt/) and the research paper describing the project (https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?doid=3177123.3158154&preflay...)
Thank you to whoever made sure this news.ycombinator article title included "A review of Errol Morris's critique".

It was not super obvious from the article itself online that this article is a book review.

I thought the author was actually himself proposing some specific theory about truth (or science) (or whatever) and was getting really really frustrated wading through all the storytelling trying to find the specific theory that was being advanced.

Finally I realized it was a book review and that extra piece of context helped give the article (which is fun to read) some semantic meaning.

(I guess I take a different and much more naive view of the history of science and related fields, which is that (a) people are pretty smart, (b) people mostly make the best scientific decisions they can with the best info and ideas they have at the time, (c) a useful way to think about the history of science involves trying to reason about what people were thinking at the time and what was normal for them. Having read this book review I genuinely can't tell whether that's a Kuhnian or a Kripkean or a Morrisean Kripkean view or whatever.)
If I've said something incorrect, refute it. Otherwise, stop it with the vague insinuations. You have no idea what I've read about IRBs and you haven't engaged with any specific arguments in anything I've linked. "It sounds like" is not an argument. It's putting words in someone's mouth.
The Two Contagious Behaviors of a Great Boss
> clearly enough people don’t care sufficiently to actually fix the problem by voting for effective social policies.

Unfortunately, with money driven election cycles (rather than policy driven election cycles) social welfare never has a good chance to see the light of day in washington. Perhaps this will change soon, but when both parties take money from the same people, the resulting debate will probably avoid important topics.
Oh yeah for sure. It's also why there's a "shortage" of senior people: not enough companies are willing to invest in getting entry level folks up to speed. Arguably, that is because employees don't stay at companies long enough to get a return on that investment. I personally think this is both true and a bit circular; companies don't invest as much in their people and those less-invested-in people are less loyal.
Agreed.

Have used monit instances on every server I manage for nearly 10 years and have been using m/monit since about a year ago (finally provided them with some money after all these years) and with it, I can check every servers' health from a single web app, I can make alert message to Mattermost (or anywhere else as it can run custom script) and its performance metric graph capability is good enough I dropped munin for it.

The great thing about it is that it's absolutely lightweight and its config files are so easy to understand and has broad checking mechanism. I can also check SSL certificate ages and in case certbot fails to renew them, I get warned well before the expiration date.
> Our mission is to build a monetary system that creates the conditions of prosperity for all.

Your web site basically says "Apple Pay", but without Apple.

So how do you get from that to, "a monetary system that creates the conditions of prosperity for all"?
Interesting, and an added conclusion is that US taxpayers subsidize all of Europe and Asia since oil is a globally priced, fungible commodity.
> The next thing Europe needs is a Robinhood-like app for fee-free trading.

Definitely. For generic Europeans wanting to invest in stock market you don't have much choice. There are couple of archaic and/or dodgy brokers with shitty apps (or no apps at all, just some bad websites built decade ago an never upgraded).
You should retain your equity but lose voting rights upon separation, perhaps through a conversions event between share classes.
The above poster did not imply human-god communication existed, merely that humans had the capacity for non-ill transcendent experiences.

Furthermore, a lack of evidence for gods does not mean that scientifically there are no gods. The only way for things to be disproven definitely is through mathematical proof. Because this cannot be shown in a mathematical proof (there is no mathematical way to represent godhood) the concept of a god cannot be definitely disproven in scientific approaches. Otherwise the most scientific claim is merely "we cannot find any evidence for <concept>" with the logical step being that therefore <concept> doesn't exist or has a low statistical chance of happening- but this is a cognitively easy conclusion and not what science is actually doing.

Science and the scientific method is actually extremely limited when dealing with the concept of dieties. It can only say that, given claim X, experiment(s) were run that did not verify X. After enough experiments are run, they are evidence X is not true. But none of these are absolutes, and claiming a mountain of evidence is a definitive scientific proof is itself unscientific.
These are silly and don't seem worth it to me, personally.

While I think AR for applications such as in-venue / in-store navigation might be cool, smart glasses still seem like a sub-par smartphone experience.
App update rejected for mentioning iPhone XR in release notes
I would appreciate it more if people mentioned why my comment doesn't contribute to the discussion, but I think it's more realistic to say that I've been downvoted simply because someone didn't like what I had to say.
I knew it. You're involved with cryptocurrency and equating this to an ICO. It's naive how people in blockchain think startups don't need much cash to build a product.

And you're trying to raise $33m in an ICO? The hypocrisy is just stunning.

One thing I don't like is having a 30% chance to have to wait 2-4 seconds whenever I swipe to go to the previous page or click the back button.
> This tutorial does not cover Windows. This tutorial will not work on Windows; nor will this tutorial generate packages for Windows. The creation of packages for Windows is covered in tutorial 4.

Tutorial 1 tells you how to build a cross-platform Ruby release, doesn't tell you how to build it for one of the 3 major platforms until tutorial... not 2, not 3, but 4. They even tell you in Tutorial 4 that "there are caveats!" and the document almost begs you not to bother.

OSX and Linux users aren't the ones having trouble running Ruby programs. You're not traveling anywhere if you only support POSIX systems that either come pre-installed with Ruby or are a minor command away from having it. This seems entirely pointless to me.
I think everyone gets that trending isn't personalized. It's possible that a lot of people have no interest in what is objectively trending, and defer to personalized subscriptions and other feeds. I'd imagine that most people are interested in what is trending (otherwise, it wouldn't really be trending), but HN is hardly a realistic sample of most people, so you can expect people here to be surprised that X, Y and Z are trending over the world.
Don't think so. 90% of office jobs in service economy are still basically about entering numbers into Excel spreadsheets and making documents, powerpoint presentations etc. I just don't see any way to make spreadsheet application like Excel work on a touchscreen at an acceptable level for generic office employees.

Furthermore, I am going to make a crazy prediction. I think we will see a substantial revival of PCs in the coming decade as people start finding out there are some things mobile phones or tables will just never be able to do. Only thing needed is an open source operating system with good UI because Windows is obviously not a way forward.
Okay, I have a slightly more nuanced rebuttal:

You seem to be making a blanket dismissal of all outsider art. Am I understanding you correctly?

Why is having a background in the history of art necessary, other to know that you're doing something that has been done before?
If you can find somebody who has been able to see "nixon in china" or "the death of klinghoffer" then you're a rara avis.

Opera has devolved to popularism. Obviously much opera always was populism, I mean how many drinking songs can you stomach? or, merry widows?

TB isn't romantic unless its mimi dying. Clowns are horrid but tragic. Killer clown movie! no.. its opera son..

But try and stage a modern opera, or an opera which genuinely comes with shocks (Klinghoffer is still sometimes opposed by members of the Jewish community. I can't say I understand this totally, but thats what I read)
Well, people's experience of performance may to some extent be subjective or dependent on hardware. But the two problems I mentioned (very poor search box suggestions, and lack of native form controls) are objectively true. Maybe you just don't care about them. For me, going back to Firefox from Safari (or Chrome for that matter) is a step down in UX.
Anyone know if you can contain other services like Postgres or Mysql inside it?
Yes sure I agree. But if you've spent time with some VR headsets (especially Oculus Go) you know that it feels like magic. And it enables things that without this tech weren't possible before. Sure, it has a long way to go, but I believe that there's path.

I'm sure the engineers at Apple also looked at the tech and were like "holy shit, this enables us to do crazy stuff".
ITER always gets more coverage of non-news about the project because it has had a lot more years to get good at that (getting the word out, not making fusion, that is). We'll probably get 3 different other projects to reach fusion before ITER accomplishes that.
I'm responding to the argument you actually made, not the variety of arguments you hypothetically could have made. My response has been substantive; I've clearly read the same article you did, as well as your citation. If you're unhappy with your own argument, don't blame me for it.

I think neither of will profit from continuing this discussion, though. You can safely sum up my point as "the problems people in psychology, and the social sciences in general, have with IRBs do not necessarily generalize to biomedical research". One of the basic complaints scientists have about IRBs is the "mission creep" from human medical research to the rest of the sciences. The premise of that argument doesn't line up with your argument here on this thread.

Also, SlateStarCodex is bad.
I still think that "container tabs" shouldn't need to exist. They fail the "grandma test", for one.
I have been using Google for pretty much as long as they have been around. I was one of the first gmail users, one of the first Android users, one of the first gsuite users.

And I'm done.

I really don't like the whole Apple experience for many reasons, and not for lack of trying. The Apple IOS system just doesn't do it for me and the whole walled garden approach just isn't my thing. Having said that, I am fed up with Google waging this relentless war on their own users, and I'm done with them. I am ordering the new iPhone Xs Max, and given that I am just as tired with the impossibility of dealing with disabling all the crapware in Windows 10, and the very ominous messages from MS that "windows is a service" (no it isn't, you greedy fuckers, it is an OS) am eyeing up the options replacing my surface pro (new model) with a mac.

Again, I am no fan of the Apple experience, but they appear to be a lot more committed to privacy and security. Google, you used to be awesome. Not anymore though, so bye.
Opera is a remnant of the worst kind of nouveau riche status seeking.

Why do Americans listen to Opera in languages they don't speak? The English watch English operas, the French French, Italian Italian, etc. This is because the newly wealthy 19th century Americans wanted to seem fancy like they thought the rich Europeans were.

The less pretentious form is just musicals, which are as popular today as they've ever been.
I think you're confusing mopeds with scooters. Scooters, as being discussed here, are definitely slower than bicycles. These ones in question are electronically limited to 15 mph and are also practically limited by having really tiny wheels. Going fast on them on a downhill feels fucking terrifying. A bicycle, on the other hand, feels much saner, and I routinely get mine up to 25 mph on downhills without thinking much of it.

Just to add some concrete FAANG numbers for comparison...

I started at BigCo four years ago as a SWE, after my phd in a not-cs hard science. My starting salary was $130k, with about $30k for signing bonus and moving fees. At my first full year, I received an additional $60k in vesting equity, for about $200k total.

Last year I made Senior SWE, which gave a bump to $165k base pay. Meanwhile, stock equity trickle has continued to grow, and looks like ~$100k this year. And an additional $40k from bonuses for performance, recruiting and general 'company has too much money' put the projected total for the year at about $300k pre-tax (and not including health or other benefits).

I live afaict unusually frugally. I don't drive, live in a shared house, and don't have short humans to worry about. But I occasionally travel to interesting places and give ~$8-$10k a year to stuff I care about. After four years at BigCo, I've got about $450k in the bank+investments. So, not a million, but probably way better than I would have done with the startup scene... and it sounds like the one recruitment bonus I've gotten so far is better than most people ever see from a startup exit.
Spoken like a programmer that has never had to fix TLB misses as a bottleneck. It’s actually quite common as the TLB is rather small. Not even enough for 2MB worth of 4K pages.

You can use huge pages but it has all of the drawbacks of segments and none of the benefits.

VMWare used to have a super fast 32-bit hypervisor based on segments long before special instructions were added. This of course had to be reworked completely for X64.

Also Intel’s bound check instructions are still extremely rare and don’t work that well in practice. I’ve used them.
Anything with wheels will go pretty damn fast on a steep downhill. Skateboards too. Not many people are riding them this fast because it feels terrifying.
I am also planning to leave for partly similar reasons. Other reasons would be that their shipped product is a heap of sh#t. Removed loading indicator, blank pdf pages, removed html5 video control buttons, broken network traffic inspector in dev tools, frozen and crashing html pages, broken password manager. Not to mention that they also allowed to make the browser a managed instance by your company's administrator when you are logged in with your company's gsuit address which turns the browser into an absolutely miserable experience (and for this reason the new signin process is really vile). I am not saying that all of this started with the latest release, but all of these are present in the latest release. It's a s###ty product just like IE6 was back in it's heyday.
There was some interesting and encouraging info out of Korea's KSTAR tokamak recently: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/09/180910111302.h... - the team there have been working on stabilising the plasma inside tokamaks, and have had pretty good success by the sounds of things.
Exactly, basically every office worker in service economy who needs to use Excel/Word/Powerpoint or any application like that will be using a desktop computer decade from now. People saying mobile phones or tables are going to take over this segment of market are missing how difficult it is to create content on mobile phone other than pictures or short videos.
The best marketing for opera that I ever saw was from Fred Rogers. As kids we knew nothing about the art but he presented it as something that could be modern and relevant. Anyone could just make up a story and write a little song about anything they cared about. I would bet his (American!) operas have been seen by many more people than even "Porgy and Bess".

Perhaps not coincidentally, Fred Rogers was also the best marketing I've ever seen for ballet. He introduced ballet as something his friend Lynn Swann did for fun. It was impossible to learn any old stereotypes when the first person we see dancing is a football player.

I think I disagree with the article's implication that opera is a European art form, and Americans have rejected it in favor of native musical theatre. You're a bit closer with your observation that the marketing is terrible. There's also some truth in Gelb's observation that there's "a cultural and social rejection of opera as an art form", though I'd say most of the performing arts are suffering today in America, not just opera.

Most of all, I suspect there simply isn't any great American opera to be performed. I'm not even a big opera fan (I saw one dress rehearsal when I was a kid, and I own one opera on CD), yet I can name a dozen German and Italian operas off the top of my head. Outside of The Neighborhood of Make-Believe, and before reading this article, I'd have had difficulty naming even one. Where's the American Wagner, or Verdi? Probably smart enough not to call their work an "opera", I bet.
How does Google Brain compare to places like Deep Mind, Facebook Research, OpenAI, etc?
Thanks :). If you think it would fit into radium, send a PR. Would be more than happy to merge it. I was planning to create another git repository containing markdown files in some parsable format and integrate that with radium so that anyone can contribute easily.
Might just be more web pages about profitable products?
Sure. Might be nice to have an adblocker-style filter that says what domains should be considered a single origin, plug that into containers.
It wasn't totally obvious that the 5 colored boxes had videos when tapping them.
No, my comment is based primarily on the narrow scope of the publication, which to my mind, as a lifelong publisher of online and offline media, seems excessive. If they were using an ICO to raise the same amount of money for the same project scope I'd also think that excessive.

As for my own project, we have a much wider goal (to convert all the world's news -- past and present -- into data that can be used as a platform for applications) that obviously requires far more investment than a niche content site.

I think its interesting we have acceptance of this basic hunting behaviour, and belief it works, and we have simultaneously denial that cats cause an overwhelming majority of bird deaths in economies where cats are only an introduced species. By denial I mean both the wider 'we're in denial about this' and the specific 'oh... not my cat' response.

Pet cats, feral cats, both. Mainly now, feral cats because we (Australia) have a huge self-sustaining population of them. The numbers are calculated into the millions of surplus bird and lizard and small marsupial/mouse deaths per year (native mice btw, not european mice or rats).

I like cats. I was a cat owner. I grew up with cats. Cats are amazing. They also are wrecking fragile ecologies.

And what reason woulf that be? I thought about all that, and where it might seem that European law has the tendency to limit free speech in certain fields (that don't really matter in everday life and if they do for an individual it tells a lot). On the other hand there is nothing comparable to, say, the Patriot Act. So the individual privacy and rights are, it seems, more protected than in the US.

But I'm diverting, the starting was a comment stating that the US are having superiour rights in that regard in general. Which is, IMHO, not true and to generalized without concrete examples. Now we do have examples and everbody can make up their own mind.
