> Deng's reforms were not really anything particularly new: Lenin was forced to accept the same realisation that a return to at least a limited market economy was necessary with New Economic Policy in 1921, after the strict collectivisation during the Russian civil war had harmed the economy substantially.

Indeed Deng's reforms were influenced by the NEP, according to Pantsov and Levine in Deng Xiaoping: A Revolutionary Life:

> It will be recalled that Deng Xiaoping himself had studied Marxism from the works of the Bolshevik leaders who had propounded NEP. He drew on ideas from NEP when he spoke of his own reforms. In 1985, he openly acknowledged that 'perhaps' the most correct model of socialism was the New Economic Policy of the USSR.
Funny how I seem to have misused godbolt all the time, only being interesting in the output of a piece of code or comparing some compilers, not really caring for the assembly code :P

As for this I'd have to a) install emacs (shush) and b) install all those compilers I don't have installed

In my experience, what happens is the company hires a representative inside the United States to file on their behalf.

There is an organization inside Belgium that hired a law firm in New York to file claims against a web site I once owned in Texas to remove people’s vacation photographs taken in Belgium, under threat of legal action.

(This was pre-DMCA. The web site was sold long ago and is now defunct.)

> supposing I see this image, what are some likely scenes (positions and shapes of objects) that might have produced it?

Sounds like there exists a device where I can write some program, run it over some inputs, pass the program and the outputs to the device and have it magically infer the possible inputs. This is basically logical programming. Then we add a probabilistical layer on top of that.

Maybe the probabilistic part hides some significant simplifications. Even relatively simple programs are nontrivial to express logically. See, for example, the pure treatment of arithmetic in http://okmij.org/ftp/Prolog/Arithm/arithm.pdf.

What kind of programs are practically feasible with Probabilistic Programming?
It reminds me of those games you'd get in a cereal box, shareware games or maybe with a computer magazine in the early 2000s. Probably due to the visuals being 'pre baked 3D converted to 2D sprites'.

It's almost nostalgic, but nothing I'd buy to be honest.
I don't think so. One problem with p2p file sharing is that hosts have no incentives to seed, other than for "good will".

Closed/private torrent networks will often put quotas on seed/download ratio for users. Occasionally you can buy Gb's worth of credits to get more.

A native exchange credit system makes sense to me.
You can run it on a cluster or a single server. It's pretty easy to setup either way.

No updates. Fast inserts.

You can only join two tables at a time, but the joins can be chained to deal with this limitation.

I tried Monet. It wasn't very stable for me. I didn't stick with it long enough to judge it. ClickHouse has backing of Yandex. I think that makes a huge difference.

I have used Clickhouse for the past year. Thrown 3000 column by 120 million row tables on it. It worked where PostgreSQL came to a halt. Different use cases really.

I fits my use case perfectly. Large amounts of data with no updates and tons of aggregations. It's lighting fast.
Unity gets shit on a lot because of how easy it is to churn something out with it (of dubious quality), but if you understand how it works at a fundamental level and also actually know how to code, you can pretty much do anything with it. It would be difficult do something of this scale procedurally, but you can definitely do procedural generation in Unity. You would just have to be smart about how you load resources at runtime to avoid hangups.
Does it integrate with Gitub Pages? I'd like my personal WiKi to be shared as a part of my Jekyll-powered Gitub Pages blog (and I'd love to see more people go this way sharing their knowledge).
If only "pay for service" wasn't a recognized problem that we're currently trying to solve itself. It's almost as if when doctors are paid per procedure, they do a bunch of unnecessary procedures.

The idea that healthcare can be centrally managed comes from people assuming it's way simpler than it is.
> Something like Deng's policies was always in the plans after that.

Not really.

> Both Liu [Shaoqi] and Deng supported Mao in the mass campaigns of the 1950s, in which they attacked the bourgeois and capitalists, and promoted Mao's ideology. However, the economic failure of the Great Leap Forward was seen as an indictment on the ability of Mao to manage the economy. Peng Dehuai openly criticized Mao, while Liu Shaoqi and Deng, though more cautious, began to take charge of economic policy, leaving Mao out of day-to-day affairs of the party and state.

> Liu and Deng's economic reforms of the early 1960s were generally popular and restored many of the economic institutions previously dismantled during the Great Leap Forward. Mao, sensing his loss of prestige, took action to regain control of the state. Appealing to his revolutionary spirit, Mao launched the Cultural Revolution, which encouraged the masses to root out the right-wing capitalists who have "infiltrated the party". Deng was labelled the second-in-command of the "capitalist-roaders" faction (Zouzipai).

> Mao feared that the reformist economic policies of Deng and Liu could lead to restoration of capitalism and end the Chinese Revolution. For this and other reasons, Mao launched the Cultural Revolution in 1966, during which Deng fell out of favor and was forced to retire from all his positions.

> During the Cultural Revolution, he and his family were targeted by Red Guards, who imprisoned Deng's eldest son, Deng Pufang. Deng Pufang was tortured and jumped out, or was thrown out, of the window of a four-story building in 1968, becoming a paraplegic.

Feedback I have is health insurance should work like other insurance where if there is a dispute the claimant has defacto sue the insurance company. They can't just turn around and bill insured if the insurance denies.

It's not that tenuous. Taxpayer dollars go from the fed to military contracts. Instead, the fed could fund local government projects through per project funding schemes or increased budget allocations.

a timestamp can't prove anything. What stops somebody else from copying your content, but timestamping it earlier and submitting it as proof? How can google verify it?

I feel like it would be a perfectly American solution to say that utilities only get free access to people's property and city's resources if they are neutral utilities.

And for anything else require they pay the property owner or city/county (as appropriate) at market rates per square foot of usage. Basically if you have a "utility" line on my property I can't use that space, so you better actually bye a utility.
Not surprised. Republicans advocate for judicial restraint only as long as it suits them.
Wickard v. Filburn is the landmark case here. A farmer growing wheat on his own land, to feed to animals on his own land, all in the same state, is considered interstate commerce. The supreme court decided that the test is not about whether it is really interstate commerce, but if the activity exerts a substantial economic effect on interstate commerce.

Commenters on the KS page were also asking about the source code despite the author mentioning that it will be released. Maybe they suspect that the source code release be failed to be released in a timely manner just like the product was. If it is indeed a duty, it might be prudent for a creator in a similar situation to delay the announcement until the source code has been prepared.

ME is implemented with a tiny Quark processor on the PCH. It doesn't consume any valuable space in the CPU. Every modern non-trivial support ASIC has an embedded processor for housekeeping duty. The problem is how much ME can extend its tendrils into every aspect of a modern PC.

why?
Here's a good place to start. You know that demand in the US for a transparent fee schedule so people know what things cost at hospitals? Here's the list of every service administered in Ontario and exactly how much it costs: http://www.health.gov.on.ca/en/pro/programs/ohip/sob/

Those are in Canadian dollars by the way; yes, a specialist consult costs the province $100 (and you, $0).

It's hard to hear that you're trying to pre-solve cost problems you don't know you'll have if you were to switch to central management when the US is currently the most expensive healthcare system per capita by a lot (like, double), and is ranked 36th by the WHO. Far less expensive systems per capita are ranked dramatically higher even though they have a fixed fee schedule. Sure, there's room to improve, but maybe knock out the low-hanging fruit first.

Further, if that's too distasteful, there's other ways to make this work; the Swiss system forbids private insurers from making profit on the basic administration of healthcare, and caps individuals out of pocket expenses. I'm sure the insurers would find a way under such constraints.
Ask HN: Are there any good open source journaling solutions?
I wonder if there is any open source solution for journaling needs -- reference commercial applications being DayOne. I have been a happy DayOne customer before it shifted to the subscription model. I believe a journaling solution needs to support at least the below aspects

1. Secure. A way to keep the journal entries private.

2. Simple editor. It needs a simple editor with an option to attach an image. Tags, time, weather etc are good metadata to have.

3. Simple Reader. A simple mode to go back to the entries made, by date, tag etc would be a plus.

4. Storage. It can even use Dropbox or iCloud or other cloud solutions for file storage/backend (would be better than a database, I think).

I am sure everyone would have their own preferences. But it would be interesting if a solution can be worked out using an open stack.
Watch out for survivor bias on this, though. How many games never made it to release because they bit off more than they could chew building the engine? How many of those could have been successful if they had used a commercial engine?

We only hear about the successes in either camp. To get an accurate picture, we'd need to look at all the attempts.
I really enjoyed reading this, I thought the author made these very accessible.

Perhaps the author might consider writing posts on both traits and lifetimes?

Understanding ownership, traits and lifetimes seem to be the keys to understanding and using Rust effectively. Unfortunately these are also the things I've had the hardest time getting my head around. If anyone could suggest similarly accessible articles on traits and lifetimes I would greatly appreciate it. Cheers.
The problem is that downtime sucks, but if you don't take the time to make the system more correct then these buglets pile up and then you have a huge technical debt problem. It's all about economics, really, and if you have the resources early on in a project, then aiming for correctness is better than sweeping things under the rug.

He also mentioned that even the guy(s) who made Super Meat Boy don't get a pass anymore just because they once made something that earned millions.

You can't build it and expect them to come. But you also can't even build it and have someone be your dedicated marketer, because you STILL can't expect them to come. There is no market right now, just people getting lucky.

There is no market.

Let that sink in.
It's kind of funny how true it is. I think development shut down but there was an erotic furry Pokemon-like game in development that was pulling in like $35k a month on Patreon. There is definitely a market there.
If you live in the suburbs but don't live at the end of the line, it's going to be unpalatable to drive all the way to the end of the line. The gap between stations near the end of the line can be big, too. It's about 10 miles from Orinda to Concord. Orinda seemed like it would be hard to find parking. Walnut Creek wasn't bad though. Point taken though. The tone of the article seemed to be about the lifestyle of some place like Liverpool or Vallejo, which might have a decent park and ride situation (I think it would be a supercommute and traffic would be bad, so that wouldn't be a pleasant commute overall).

By the way some of the hardest commuting problems to solve are couples or people who otherwise really want to live together who have jobs at different parts of the Bay Area. They could be making a combined $400K but no amount of money will make their commute reasonable. I'm surprised telepresence robots like AnyBots haven't gained more traction.
I am unsure of the details of the caste situation and marriage, in my metro upbringing I haven't seen any instances of caste discrimination at all (I am vaishya). However, from the fact that you're active on HN does tell me that you're cut from a different cloth than your peers and I do feel that you'll have better luck in metros.
Are you seeing a “silver lining” he missed? If not, don’t you think it’s possible that he’s been a long time critic because it was crap and exception from the get-go? If not, I think it’s worth remembering that this critic correctly predicted all of the major problems with the device months (and longer) before it was released. He called the “lightfield” and other marketing dishonesty out quite a long time ago, and seems to have been batting nearly .1000.

So... what do you see that he missed?

I understand that you’ve been very supportive of this for months, but unless you’re invested in or affiliated with Magic Leap it might be time to let it go in the face of the reality.
The author, based on the technology and products he's chosen to work on, is either visionary and courageous, completely lacks foresight, or enjoys pain:

Avery was the lead engineer for Google Fiber's home wifi devices, building, managing, and monitoring the whole fleet in customers' homes. ... Before that, he started startups including one that deployed Lotus Domino in 10 minutes, and one that did unspeakable things to Microsoft Access databases.

Microsoft Access, Lotus Domino, and consumer Wifi (mass-deployed!)? Shoot me, please, three times.

On the other hand, they are a great way to learn the challenges of project scheduling and management. (In fairness, Lotus I mostly know by reputation, but the other two are enough.)

For numerical optimization, a couple good textbooks are:

- "Practical Optimization" by P. E. Gill, W. Murray and M. H. Wright: a little old (1982), but provides a solid foundation

- "Convex Optimization" by S. Boyd and L. Vandenberghe: the standard for learning convex optimization (also available as a free PDF from the author's website)

- "Convex Analysis and Monotone Operator Theory in Hilbert Spaces" by H. H. Bauschke and P. L. Combettes: covers a more specialized area of numerical optimization, but the notation is beautiful (IMO) and it acts as a useful reference for recent research on, e.g., operator splitting methods

It's like a collection of all the game programming stuff they didn't teach me at school, nor at my non-game jobs. Whether you're writing an engine or just using one, I consider this book absolutely vital.
Thank you for this. I personally know many people in the tech industry going through this. (Including myself in the past.)

I "cured" myself by focusing on niche industries and learning almost everything about them. This really helps. Otherwise, a generalist always feels many things are missing.
In the Czech Republic copay is optional (depends on the insurance company and the plan, not really widespread, the majority of people don't have copay) and nobody seems to be misusing this. You can also just buy insurance that is going to cover almost everything (and with no copay) for reasonable money without even having a job (if you actually have a job the insurance costs you and the employer a fixed percent of your salary). Some times the laws change (just to get changed back some years after) and compulsory copay gets introduced but it always is just ~$1 (which would be enough to repel bored grannies and homeless alcoholics that just want to hang out if there actually were any, but in fact there don't seem to be any actually misusing hospitals). Hospitals don't look and feel as fancy and cozy as they do in the USA and a stationary patients' diet is a disaster from the dietary value point of view but in every other aspect everything works amazing.
Mostly, this is a failed research program and not at all the direction the social sciences are going. Economists at least will draw one lesson from physics and respond to econophysics, by following the "shut-up and calculate approach" - the result, econophysics will be ignored.

That's the point, the DoJ isn't spending time, they're regurgitating material produced by lawyers working for the carriers.

Why is DoJ sending messages on behalf of the carriers? Because the current administration has demonstrated it will do anything they're paid to do.

Doesn't the DoJ have enough on its plate? Like what? The purpose of the DoJ is /ostensibly/ to protect people from abuses by people who have more money/resources than them. Including the police. The GOP/WH has demonstrated that human rights are low priority compared to most other things (especially those that can pay them).

Building out acceptable public transit over America's vast <1,000 people/square mile suburbia is probably not economical. First you would need drastically higher densities to become socially acceptable and legal. Then you would need decades of building until most of a metro area's population actually lived at high enough densities. Then public transit that's actually competitive with the status quo for mobility could start to pencil out.

Even when the density is there, the social mission of public transit agencies is to be a lifeline for the very poor. Improving service for professional commuters is at the bottom of their priority list. I can't even argue with that: the middle class can drive as an alternative, without bus service the destitute are just stuck.

The solution I want is unlimited construction of skyscrapers and travel mostly by foot and elevator. But if there's one thing our democracy is great at, it's preventing high rises. For the densities we have, our choices are cars or simply having commutes eat further into our already scarce free time. (No, public transit is not free time, as any vaguely useful train is crush-loaded standing room only).
