See "Economies of Scale" [1]

To the degree that efficiency is increased with larger scale, the market will become an oligopoly or monopoly.

Most things are economies of scale: healthcare, social networks, manufacturing, network protocols.

BIBOP is the dynamically expandable version of MACLISP, the SAIL standard MACLISP. Essentially, the main advantage of BIBOP is that whenever one of the expandable spaces runs out of space, BIBOP requests a larger core allocation from the monitor and the delinquent space grows in the allocated memory.

December 1973; updated March 1974

The (in)famous "Bibop" (pronounced "bee-bop") LISP scheme has been available for some time now and seems to be more or less reliable. Bibop means "BIg Bag Of Pages", a reference to the method of memory management used to take advantage of the memory paging features of ITS. The average LISP user should not be greatly affected in converting to this new LISP (which very eventually will become the standard LISP, say in a few months).

> Phones are much less powerful than PCs, but they feel comparably fast

I beg to differ.

My Droid Turbo is powered by a 2.7 Ghz quad-core CPU, yet often is incredibly slow. If I want to open Waze and enter and address to navigate to, it's often 10-15 seconds from the time I tap the Waze icon on the launcher until the apps is loaded and the on-screen keyboard has presented itself for typing.

There are significant stutters when I'm trying to scroll while a web page is loading.

Fallout Shelter takes nearly an entire minute to load.

Sometimes, plugging in a USB charger causes the phone to basically become a brick for half a minute or more, as if there are tons of apps deferring processing until I'm on external power.

Overall, it often doesn't feel any more responsive than my original Droid back in 2010, which was only a 550 Mhz single core.

Sure. And if that's a model that is appropriate for your API users, go for it.

But usually, it won't be appropriate. And by usually, I mean it will almost never be appropriate to adopt a model like this for your users. And I say this having been in the very situation where it was appropriate and we did expose it.
> the platform that developers want to support is the one that wins.

This is very hard to believe. Developers hate apple, facebook, and countless other platforms that are doing very well. Adoption is the fundamental problem, not what developers want to support. The platform with the most users is what people will develop for.
Though perhaps we should give it a try.

The big recent change with the free paradigm is that trust in privacy has been lost with these massive data silos. In fact, you could argue that we are now at the beginning of the end of this entire approach to the web. George Gilder exposes the nearing end of this in his latest book "Life after Google" https://www.amazon.com/Life-After-Google-Blockchain-Economy-... I definitely recommend it.
Apple, a company that champions human rights to privacy, has allowed the murderous chinese government to wiretap all chinese icloud users.

Apple PR said today “Apple has always believed in being transparent about the ways we handle and protect data.”

The fact that iCloud in China is tapped by default is not transparently reported by Apple at all.

Do not underestimate their incentives to outright lie or otherwise obfuscate the truth at the behest of the militaries of EITHER the US or China.

Huh? I'm not claiming that these topics should be off-limits; I'm saying that the actual existing departments presently studying them are rotten. In short I'm not sure we're disagreeing here.

Edit: If you like, you can replace my use of "fields and subfields" above with "departments and segments of such". That's probably fairer in other ways, too.
On the other hand, NYTimes was wrong about WMD in Iraq, and those articles were sourced from numerous anonymous government officials. Turns out, just as in this case, those government officials had an agenda. In 2003, it was starting a pre-emptive war against Iraq, and in 2018, it seems trade wars with China are popular... perhaps we can connect some dots.

IIRC the GOOL code was compiled by a compiler written in Common Lisp. If that compiler code survived, it's probable that it would still work today with minimum / perhaps zero modifications. (No idea what non-standard CL features it might have used.) Of course the output wouldn't be useful for anything but a PS1, but you could change that, and never have to touch the GOOL itself as you say.
So, first off, "grievance studies" isn't my term. But as for evidence... well, I don't have statistics; it's more of a "look around you" thing. It's not clear to me why I would care about the number of degrees awarded in women's studies; that doesn't at all seem a reliable proxy for what I do care about, i.e., to what extent the academy is becoming less free and more ideological.
True! Haven't thought about it, but it's actually an OS-backed untyped channel, which even supports select().

Guess the differences are: It operates on bytes and not on objects, so a custom protocol is needed on top of it. And it can't provide the same guarantees as an unbounded channel, where there are certain guarantees that sending an item actually reached the other site, and which makes guaranteed resource handoff through channels a bit easier.
Calculate power draw:

A Macbook is 85W of power max, a router likely ~20W, and a single desk lamp is maybe 60W if you're a barbarian (seriously get a better bulb than that, though).

85W x 5 hours + 20W x 8 hours + 60W x 8 hours = 1065Wh

Obviously your Macbook doesn't draw 85 at all times, nor does your router but it's always good to have the leeway.

Now assuming a Lithium battery (which the newer AIO kits generally have), you'll be able to get 95% use of the battery in your solar kit. So say you get a 100Ah battery...

12V x 100Ah x .95 = 1140Wh

So that battery would be fine.

For charging, if you had a 100W solar panel, which gets say 60% for 6 hours a day efficiency since we don't know where in the world you are, you'd be able to charge...

100W x .6 x 6 hours = 360Wh, or 30Ah of your 100Ah battery per day. Use a kill-a-watt to use real numbers to find out if 100W of solar is enough for you and up that part of the kit if it isn't.

Something like this should do you fine - https://www.goalzero.com/shop/kits/goal-zero-yeti-1000-lithi...

> It is becoming less credible to throw our hands up and say "China has all the silicon manufacturing, guess we have to put up with it!"

The thing is, China doesn't. Most expensive chips are fabricated outside of China in nearby countries and shipped there for final assembly.

What goes on in China is usually human assembly. And that's what seems to have happened here -- in the process of putting chips on motherboards, someone added some bonus chips. It seems like it would be hard to do that without dedicated traces / solder points.
The problem with your personal data store is that it will be impossible to stop the large companies like Google/Facebook from simply copying and caching a copy of all the data they need to access. You give them permission to handle your email and calendar information and bingo, they have a copy of your entire set of emails and appointments. If you use multiple services from Google/Facebook then they will end up with a good copy of your entire dataset and can mine it of value just like they already do.
They are computationally equivalent. Except that you can't typecheck actor calculus (since you can send anything to an actor) but you CAN typecheck pi calculus (channels).
> This was the rationale behind password change frequency rules too. If I can try 100 passwords per day, and I'm sure you've picked 1 of 1000000 passwords I have a good chance to find which one in a few years. But if you're forced to change it every 6 months then I'll never have more than a small chance to get it.

This is not how probability works. Password rotation is intended to prevent long term compromises from existing due to a leaked password. I'd debate if this actually has any effect, but that's another matter entirely.
> But they aren't, they are also complaining about the CEO standing up for Kaplan's right to espouse his views, or in this case stand by a friend. Just standing by the principle of free speech, which is very clearly what's being asserted by Zuckerberg here, is what's causing problems in the specific portion I quoted.

IMO, this hoo-haa has nothing to do with free speech. The employees of facebook aren't saying that the Kaplan should have his speech be restricted by the government (what the 1st amendment actually protects), they are saying that they aren't comfortable working for a company where someone in his position holds these views and they are exerting their collective power to carry out their will. People like Zuckerberg and Kaplan have orders of magnitude more political power in clubby Washington connections and cold hard cash than any individual facebook employee. Facebook employees pooling their power should be something we encourage, not something we chill through evasive complaints about "restricting free speech".
All else being equal, you want to come up with ways to sound excited about the position without coming across as a kiss-ass. If I really want the gig (or if I’m desperate) I try to ask questions and subtly guide the conversation in ways that show I’ve done my homework and have thought about the company’s / department’s unique challenges etc. and how my interests, experience, and career goals align. It’s delicate, but beyond a certain baseline of competence it’s about making them like you. That gets tricky because it’s so easy to show desperation which will sink you. People like you to be interested in them and then they magically like you back. Ask lots of questions and get them to talk about themselves.

I’m going to skip the whole speech about how you want to find a good fit or else you’ll be unhappy because … uh … money.

On the other hand, what would stop the rise of email UX companies that provide a PAID service that links to your email with the explicit promise of never caching it? They wouldn't need to mine it to make money as google does, as they are being paid, even though the per user cost payment could be quite low to support a profitable email UX company.
I think you may be in a bubble. Many developers like apple, and facebook enough to work for them. In fact, its that which keeps both platforms viable in the face of stiff competiton and shallow moats.
> you can be fired or suffer repercussions by your employer, for things that you do on your own personal time

Yes this happens, but should it be the case? Is this something you morally support? Should people be fired for smoking weed in their personal time? Posting on social media? Making a joke to a friend? Donating a political campaign?

People have been fired for these things but I don't think it should be lauded. I don't think its healthy for companies to monitor their employee's personal life, so they can punish them at work.
This looks awesome! I'm excited to try it out.
When I was working at a quant hedge fund which was adding very little to actual efficient allocation of capital in the world I came across many an accomplished researcher who wanted switch from academia largely because it was just that much more lucrative. One person for example was coding the creation of better medical lenses at a top university and had been subsidised by state prizes to the tune of hundreds of thousands. Certainly felt like a waste of talent as they switched tack to add the a tiniest fraction of liquidity.

> some in our generation believe there is a right to be shielded from dissenting viewpoints

I don't think that is the problem at all. Its not that people want to be shielded from dissenting viewpoints, its that the vast majority of people on the right and the left are basically entirely politically disenfranchised, while people like Zuckerberg or Kaplan hold a vastly inordinate amount of power through their connections and their money. What we are seeing here isn't "lefty people crushing dissent", it is "people organizing around and exercising one of the only viable channels of political influence that they have (challenging the means of production of their billionaire boss) in order to exert a tiny amount of political power".
Not sure if that exists, but you may want to do a fake on-site with a coach; you're probably doing a few things wrong and the companies aren't telling you for HR reasons.

Ask HN: Best way to learn about edible mushrooms
Hi All. I really enjoy foraging and today I found about 7kg of Miataki mushrooms in about 40 minutes of light hiking. I pick those since they are edible and have no poisonous look-alikes. However I’d love to learn how to identify other edibles. Does anyone have any suggestions of where to start?

Bonus points: I’d love to learn more about foraging in general. Any ideas about this in general?

I think when we use the word "debate" like this, we're doing a huge favor we don't owe to a group of people who are — in bad faith — not acknowledging a set of facts. Just because a group of people hold some belief doesn't make it valid. There's no "debate" over whether vaccines cause autism, there's no "debate" whether climate change is real or affected by humans, and there's no "debate" over whether slavery was a central issue in the Civil War.

I've noticed a lot of hair-splitting in these comments over whether this was a failure of peer review, whether to call the papers, considered as specimens of scholarship in their appropriate fields, "fraudulent" rather than "bad", or whether the number of hours they actually logged at the dog park is a relevant concern. All of this is quite besides the point. The researchers passed a version of the Turing Test among the reviewers of their papers. All that we need from that point is an acknowledgement of the absurdity and falseness of the papers themselves. This may not be easily forthcoming, though. One of the reviewers of Social Text took the position, in the wake of Sokal's hoax, that his paper constituted good scholarship, despite the stated intentions of its author. Also confer with Poe's Law. However, when we admit this as a possible response, we are in the territory of radical relativism, with no way to adjudicate between the claims of these scholars and their critics, and for that matter, those of religious fanatics, mentally ill delusional people, confidence scammers, or indeed anybody at all. This is a position which seems, at least, to be somewhat at odds with the fundamental scholarly enterprise. At its heart, one has to cross the pons arsinorum of admitting that, yes, the papers are indeed absurd nonsense. At this point, it seems impossible to convince some people to take this step.

If the critics's objections could be distilled into something with a semblance of validity and germaneness, then it would be that the researchers's methods were too unfocused. But had they taken a narrower approach, the response could just have been to rationalize and ignore. Fight fire with fire (being generality, in this case).
