honestly wish all these MOOC's would just adopt something similar to Udemy. Its just miles better than everything else out there in terms of its video UI, course reviews, pricing, etc. Udemy doesn't have as much deep computer science topics though found elsewhere though.
I find that mailing lists are such a poor medium for discussion that I participate in zero of them today.

Every time a community switches from a mailing list to a forum (like Elm lang recently), they seem to agree with me.

This statement is often met with nerd rage on HN (“why wouldn’t you want to deal with mailing lists?!”) but it’s something you’ll just have to understand or take for granted if you are going to understand what people want from a Github competitor, for example.
There is hope for these, e.g. lifetime in C++20. Herb Sutter's talk at this same conference is really good and covers both of your first examples.
Because doing so desensitizes you to the pain and suffering of others.

Maybe a society full of sociopaths can get along just fine, but I'd rather not run that experiment.

> The question is, do you think US Government on all levels is efficient enough to be trusted with even more jobs/resources to manage? And if it's not, what the people of us should actually do to make it happen?

Instead we're ruled by large, monopolistic corporations that have so much power they can avoid paying taxes, pay off almost any politician and basically set any policy that they want. I'll never understand why people are fine with our current system.

I think your comment is basically neoliberlism in a nutshell. Let the market decide, right?
When did laying off 5% of staff be worthy of HN?

I stopped using Cabify because their drivers would park a few blocks from the pickup point and wait for me to cancel the ride.
You will probably open yourself for persecution if you start requesting fraudulent chargebacks. But I imagine credit cards operators will make sure they don't have you as a client before anybody even thinks about calling the police.
Its also likely the solution it found would not work across the operating temperature range of the device. To do it properly would take a lot longer and need a lot more test cases.

Most people are happier if they know that they are actively contributing to the world or at least to others people's happiness. Whether that applies to you is a question you have to answer yourself.

I wouldn't want to live my life knowing that I'm trying to pull everyone and everything over the table and that i make others miserable wherever I go.

If you want to find a business reason: long term relationships and trust both are valuable and build future business and new connections. But, really, the first reason should be enough.

Very interesting to see someone transcend all way to the top of maslow's hierarchy of needs pyramid. Having achieved this state, what do you look forward to when you wake up every morning?
> They worship [...] They brag [...] machismo [...] suspicious glances [...] hell yea brutha, we drivin [...] those stupid Californians

Sounds like it was good for everyone that you left and are not going back. The problem so many have these days is their lack of understanding towards other people's preferences, and then leveraging it to demean. Clearly, lifestyle disagreements must be wrapped up in pejoratives and stereotypes as though Texas isn't steeped in diversity.

I'm sorry your boredom on your friend's couch and other your-life-and-situation-specific anecdotes jaded you, but that doesn't mean you understand preferences of others or the general societal situations.

Would you mind explaining the spiritual path you took/system you followed ?
Johnston's "Writing & Illuminating & Lettering" is something of a classic. It's not nearly broad enough in scope to be a Knuth-equivalent, though.
Sure, a little caked in there. But I think it drives a point. Genetics is all about sex, even through bacterial conjugation. It's ultimately the exchange of DNA, of construction patterns. Every person reading this is a product of sex. Every person everywhere at any point in time, past or future, is a product of sex. We don't like to think of it in this way, but we simply can't and don't exist without it.

Way I see the point of that clumsy alliteration is that this particular, traditionally dry, compsci approach is about simulating sex. We find vulgar distasteful, and yet forcing circuits to evolve has a parallel to that vulgarity.
They do that in Brazil too. I always assumed it was to get rid of the trip soon, so they can take another one.

If even the inventor can't be bothered to post the announcement of the thing on a platform that's compatible it doesn't bode well. Or at least link to an example.
Rogers proposed a counter hypothesis that money trickles upwards:

>...The money was all appropriated for the top in the hopes that it would trickle down to the needy. Mr. Hoover was an engineer. He knew that water trickles down. Put it uphill and let it go and it will reach the driest little spot. But he didn’t know that money trickled up. Give it to the people at the bottom and the people at the top will have it before night, anyhow.
I feel Toyota is cushy with oil interests. So they’re definitely acting the slowest. Think about the major markets for scooters. Taiwan, Indonesia, Phillipines, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand. Going to be a very tough break up on oil for these countries. Not sure they’ll afford to retool to electric. Especially the dealer network that runs off repairs and parts. Considering an electric scooter is easily maintained and repaired.
I needed to look up 'dog-whistling' and got this definition on wikipedia :

Dog-whistle politics is political messaging employing coded language that appears to mean one thing to the general population but has an additional, different, or more specific resonance for a targeted subgroup.

Please explain how "Confection by Zionists" fits the bill?
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. Yes, the breathless proclamations of blockchain Armageddon (or Paradise) are tiring. I agree. And it is part of my souring on the whole topic. There is potential for something like blockchain to make a radical impact. But you know how it is - freedom is wonderful but it comes at the cost of diligence. And banks are just so freaking comfy. And they seem to demand so little of us.

The idea of the government creating a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve is interesting. You are right, whatever the current players can do to control any new financial instruments they will. I suppose the libertarian response to such an action on such a chain would be to abandon the chain. And I am WAY out over my skis here but there is a drastic difference between the money printing that is happening in America as opposed to the American govt attaching its keys to a large amount of a cryptocurrency. If they did that and did not transact with that coin then they could have a marked impact on the coin's liquidity and that would affect its value. It could also impact the transactability as fewer and fewer people would be active on that blockchain. But I keep coming back to the true difference being transparency and not being under centralized control as being the POTENTIAL game changers. I am not sure the populace has the stomach for such responsibility. Heck, I am not sure I do.
Taxi scams in Rio are the norm. Period. Even for local people.
I've been looking for something like this, because I rarely use mental math anymore. I'll use this on the tube. :)
How would you choose members of the committee in a way that doesn't involve campaigns? How would they make decisions without being open to lobbying?
No, not that SPARC. It's "Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition".
We grow vegetables in a community garden. Years ago, some silly soul planted morning glory in his plot because they look great. At least that's what the garden leader told us when we joined. To this day, everyone growing food there curses at that person (he is not there anymore) each growing season. And I pull more morning glory vines than regular weeds each year, hoping it will be less next year. By now, I can identify the vine leaves from 10 yards away.
I also agree with this. I have learned by doing blue apron and hello fresh for a year, and it's amazing the little things I've learned from cooking so much. another bonus is my foods budget has become much more manageable.
This is great news but sadly 10m is still a drop in the bucket for this context.
This is mostly why I have come to hate most social media: too many people around me share this crap, most of the time, without even reading it I guess. I open Facebook and within seconds, I'm hit with mixed feelings of sadness, anger, despair and anxiety (something I'm actively working on).

I recently installed my own Mattermost instance where I invited close friends and some family who I trust won't share all this crap.

Fantastic article! Thanks for sharing!
Why 5G will disappoint everyone
I'm glad something is being done. But while the public continues to blame the lightning-rods instead of the actual source of the issue, the problem will continue.

What I mean is that book publishers take the blame, and LIKE to take the blame, because that takes heat off the actual bad guys in this story: college professors and their departments.

It is they that decide which books are used in what courses, and it is they that are given the public trust to protect student's education. Instead they value the kickbacks (in the form of offloaded workload, free materials, free automated testing, etc) over what's best for their students.

It is an inherent moral failing in US academia where the almighty dollar has yet again wrecked havoc.

Open textbooks won't succeed for the same reason that cheaper textbooks haven't, the gatekeeps, the ones that create the artificial monopoly for particular textbooks: professors/departments, will continue to act in a self-interested and immoral way, and the public will continue to blame publishers.
Especially outside yhe largest countries, it's often hard to find replacement parts for computers that are a older than the current generation.

What's the counterfeit situation with chips that can be installed in computers post factory? Cloning a GPU or a PCI card that requires vendor-specific drivers would actually require copying the chip instead of substituting with another one in the same product category for the genuine driver to work. Can we still expect PCI cards to be genuine if the genuine driver works? What about RAM, which doesn't require vendor-specific drivers?
Yeah, the hijinks with the general fund are a problem. I think we need an electoral system that will allow multiple parties, because single party rule makes it hard to hold anyone accountable. But Republicans aren’t viable here and we’d need multiple left parties.

Also the general fund is starved partially because of propositions like 13 that unfairly limits taxation on people whose houses have appreciated tremendously in value.
So that is why longer Instagram videos aren’t a thing yet? Zuck not wanting to risk competition with videos on FB? How stubbornly short sighted.
> There are so many reasons why people choose their home, job, and transportation [...] best way to change [...] make reasoned recommendations for change

What if the citizenry is happy and doesn't want change? This option never seems to appear in suburban sprawl discussions because so many of the discussors think clearly it's not wanted.

I think, especially compared to others, the county's situation is ideal for most.
I also agree with this. I am working on myd data science degree and now almost everything I do lives in emacs. (usually org mode) related was taking my time to gpl'ize my stack of software in daily use.
Several of my kid's mandatory textbooks are ones written by the professor, and changed every semester to a new revision. It's such a transparent money grab...I don't get how they do it with a straight face.
A common practice is to sell the same branded product at a lower quality level when sold through a different retailer. Either intentionally or because QA rejects get sold cheap to wholesalers for use at discount stores. The modern twist is that these rejects can now get commingled back into the QA-approved inventory thanks to Amazon.
Learning to use a modern DSLR camera in fully manual mode. I now intuitively understand the relationship between the control inputs of shutter speed, aperture and ISO and the outputs of image brightness and depth of field (I still mostly use auto-focus). I have sufficient muscle memory for the controls that my big complex camera is truly a point and shoot device and I can have a few pictures in the can while the crowds with their mobile cameras are still waiting for the things to focus. Don’t get me wrong, I use my iPhone camera all the time, but if I want to get pictures that are different from most other peoples, I can.

I’ve also learned to take a portfolio perspective to photography (building sets of pictures that tell a story) rather than instantly uploading everything in a competitive search for ‘faves’. I’ve rediscovered younger me’s joy in photography, whilst posting less than I have for years.

The simpler thing would be to stop incentivizing undesired behavior. Stop giving tax breaks to everyone, start tolling all roads using license plate readers so people feel the actual costs of driving, require environmental costs to be included in manufacturing (I know this one is difficult, but at least we can attempt it and provide the environmental data openly to all to review it).
Learning to learn. Being able to go from "I know nothing about this subject" to 80% in a year or so for the most complex subjects has completely changed how I approach professional challenges.

Since a scooter is like two feet by four feet and a car is like eight feet by fourteen feet, scooters are going to be far easier to park than cars: like three to five can fit in a conventional parking spot, compared to one car. Given the smaller amount of space needed between vehicles, the numbers might be even more favorable.
I would love to see a break-down of those 1.5B. How can one company even organize the spending of that kind of money?
It's one of those self-referential problems like "This sentence is false".

Regardless of whether it is fake or not, at the very least, you know it has an agenda behind it. It's advocacy. It's trying to sell you something.

>I haven't previously come across the idea of trying to make wordless proofs. I guess this is the mathematical equivalent of code golf: a clever game for insiders to play, but basically the opposite of good practice from a readability perspective.

There are lots of geometrical proofs for e.g. the pythagorean theorem that need no words. It's not like code golf any more than a text-based proof is.

Words still need to get interpreted just as images do.

If anything, a succinct geometric proof can be much easier to grasp and verify than a text-based proof.

Because after the initial debt laden spending spree results in happiness, once the bills for upkeep and debt service come due at the same time, the cuts in quality of life will then result in unhappiness. And now you have a bunch of wasted resources with not enough people to support them, and it causes more pollution.

But it’s not reasonable to expect people to not be short sighted. If people really want the future to be gated insular communities like in TX and FL, then I guess that’s what they deserve, but I’ve been to Africa and India and Brazil and the visual class divide it shows is unappealing to me.
Kind of surprised the article (or the Amazon spokesperson) didn't mention Transparency, which has been in development for some time: https://brandservices.amazon.com/transparency

The basic idea: Vendor places unique 2D barcode on each unit of a branded product, only products with those barcodes get placed into Amazon warehouse inventory, consumers can scan the barcode themselves to verify it's legit.

As someone who lives in Texas: I will never bike, but probably not for the reason you're thinking of. Rather, I won't because of heat. Days can hit 100 in high summer and 90% humidity. Many people supporting the "everyone should just bike" idea live in SF or New England. This means they don't realize quite how hot it is for much of the year. And though they may say it gets cold there, you can always add another coat. You can only remove so many.
It has been said that Americans speak the language of Jefferson but live in the system that Hamilton advocated.

Likewise, Greenspan while at the Fed may have occasionally mouthed vaguely Objectivist sentiments that echoed his earlier association with Rand, but he was, after all, head of a quasigovernmental body that creates money out of thin air. By this point in his life, Greenspan’s ideology was living it up as a member of the D.C. elite.

To see him advocating laissez-faire, read his essay “Gold and Economic Freedom”[0] — that comes off nothing like Chairman Greenspan.

There is a Multics security research paper that describes out-of-bounds as practically non-existent thanks to PL/I features.

According to the Linux Kernel Security Summit 2018, 68% of kernel exploits are caused by out-of-bounds errors.

That is just one example, there is plenty of material available to anyone that wants to dive into the subject.

So just because GNU/Linux faires better in security towards Haiku, doesn't mean there is nothing left to improve.
Here are some open textbooks, https://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks

> Open textbooks are textbooks that have been funded, published, and licensed to be freely used, adapted, and distributed. These books have been reviewed by faculty from a variety of colleges and universities to assess their quality. These books can be downloaded for no cost, or printed at low cost. All textbooks are either used at multiple higher education institutions; or affiliated with an institution, scholarly society, or professional organization

The writers are highlighting a potential weakness with the Texas system. It’s not about identity politics or red vs blue. It’s about future costs that might be unsustainable.

NYC transit has it’s own issues, but if you look at the population there you’ll see on average they are skinnier than folks in Texas who drive around in cars. Are there costs associated with that obesity? Costs that everyone picks up instead of just those who are obese? Will that make Texas a more expensive place to live? Who knows?

As someone who lives in the suburbs and just got hit with a water rate increase to pay for the aging infrastructure i can say it’s good to have these conversations early before you rack up unexpected costs.
