I was not talking about sex at all. I talked about hero worship and about the idea of "if Ghandi did that bad suff then Brits should have stayed" being wrong.

And of course, Chuck Berry's fecal hobbies might have relationship to culture of rock and roll (I have no idea about factual basis of either).

Ghadis sexual habits and cruelty (cause there was not just sex but quite simply abuse) are wery relevant toward how much I should take seriously his quotes anywhere near that topic.

It also opens topic of how much the non-violent thing was practical strategy and how moral issue and how victims become abusers sometimes.

The was rape, abuse or bullying become conflated with "sexual habit" in this debate is interesting too - and is nice examplease why hero worship is wrong and makes perfect situation for abuse to occure.
I can empathize. I've never paid even as much as $3k for a car. The idea seems absolutely ridiculous to me, yet I still hear about people not much better off than myself who spend as much on a new car as I would on a modest house.
The problem usually is that homeowners in the suburbs vote to keep their own property taxes extremely low, and then blame corporations when there isn't enough money to run things.

On a side note, is there any system that exists where citizen can decide to a greater autonomy how there tax money is spent?
Interview with Timothy May: Enough with the ICO-Get-Rich-Quick-Lambo Crypto
The problem that exists with TLS certs, and not with PAKE, is usability.

Client certs suffer from questions like "as a user, how do I handle multiple devices? Logging in from my phone? Logging in from the biz center at some hotel / my friend's phone / etc?

The UX for client certs in browsers makes it a pain to use even as a tech-savvy person; if we want it to actually become popular as a web auth method, it has to start with better UX.
Yeah, the US spends more on socialized medicine than anyone. Most of it goes through Medicare.
How to Create Your Own Latest Animoji
I remember my first job was working on a massive enterprise system in a complex business domain on a codebase that had survived multiple iterations over the last 30 years.

It took a full 9 months before I finally thought 'I can do this job'.

I think part of it was eventually working out the baseline level of competence of the seniors and seeing just how much everyone had to communicate to get anything done. Over time I got used to the various systems and processes but also used to the fact no one knows everything and we just have to clarify with others what we don't know.

It's a team sport.
Paxos/raft is an agreement service where nodes agree on entries in a single log. I have no problem calling it a distributed/global coordination service for agreeing on entries in a log.
I'm working on https://www.datagekko.com. It's a passion project of mine that came from a scratch your own itch situation. Working on it for the past 6 years or so a couple hours every day on average (spent a ton of time). As it matured I decided to push it from a hobby project to a product. Super close to launching it, but constantly keep delaying it as I always have something to improve.

Learned a ton on it and literally helped me shape my career in the past 5 years.

A short description would be a large scale metrics/telemetry system. But I'm aiming to make it available for small-scale use as well so that small guys (like me) can leverage those benefits.

Human behavior is quite simple - it's the magnitude of interactions that that make it appear more complex than it is.

I do agree that it is easier to be lazy and obtain instant gratification than delay it for great reward but it can be learned by anyone if the cushy safety net of socialism is removed. Everyone has something that motivates him to become greater than what he is now; it's just a matter of discovering what that is - often he has to find it himself. One-size-fits-all socialism destroys this freedom.

>every "self made man who didn't need help from nobody and just smarted his way to the top" was likely helped in countless circumstances that have nearly nothing to do with his direct actions

Correct: nothing happens in isolation. However, mindset greatly changes the likelihood of an outcome. Without being able to cultivate and learn outside of indoctrination institutions, the world would be static and soulless.

>The goal is to lower the upper limit and raise the lower limit.

This is the core: give those whom are lazy a cushy retirement and shackle people who dream big so they can no longer fly.

Slavery and child labor comes from power vacuums that are created by control freak communists/Marxists/socialists who keep things from changing and improving. The rest go along because change can be scary and we all want stability. A face of true evil is the deception that we all must be equal - we are not. We have borders, both conceptual and physical - doors on our homes and personal space that we want respected; yet socialism cries that borders are bad and we need to take care of everyone regardless of our own situation... and let's use other peoples' money to do it since we don't have any. Crabs in a bucket.

I know you mean well because I was in your shoes after the dot-com collapse. The difference is that I've seen the hypocrisy - there is no perfect system but socialism is a slow, agonizing death.

Not true:

OK, thanks for clarifying.

I don't think the simplistic algorithm makes it a non-story. To me, that is the story. Why did Apple release something so under-baked that people had no trouble finding problems with it in practice?

It's like if Apple released the "Mac Robot Nanny," and it was unable to tell the difference between a baby and a pineapple.

People really care about automated "babysitting" features, so it's something Apple shouldn't release so casually.

And I also think we can see how badly Apple is losing in the (very) nascent AI product battle. Siri is far worse than Alexa and even Google Assistant, and now this.
Yes, but most flight sims are based on very old codebases. X-Plane has started to change, and Prepar3d too, but I imagine they're so complicated it's difficult to just do without breaking a lot of things.

For the time being, even with latest versions, single-threaded cpu performance is the largest concern in these sims.
Having evidence of this particular app having poor security practices prior to expressing concerns is an impossibly high standard. The comment is clearly based on a pattern of early stage apps putting security second. I think it's fair to ask early stage apps handling highly sensitive info to at least show some evidence that they are following secure data handling practices. This is a good HN conversation to have, not unnecessarily negative.

So that would be my feedback to the poster: Detail how you ensure privacy and secure data. That should be a major part of the product description for this type of app at the outset.
I organize my music library at the file level rather than at the tag level (although I still tag my files, because I have a particular naming scheme I like for everything). This is because I have so much music that it's kept on an external HDD, and I wouldn't be able to properly tag everything to my liking if I spent a hundred years on it. So I've always resisted using the iTunes-like programs that try to organize all my music for me, both due to tagging issues and having the database explode if I disconnect the drive. My music is organized according to my own system, and it works for me.

In Winamp, when I wanted to play an album, I opened the directory containing my music, find the artist, right clicked on the album, and selected "Play/Enqueue in Winamp". Winamp would launch, I would immediately minimize it to the system tray, and it would be out of my way except occasionally popping up notifications on Play/Pause/Stop or when tracks changes. It was perfect for my needs.

Audacious is the app I found that comes closest to replicating that workflow. I select a folder, "Open With -> Audacious", it kicks off, I close (to tray), and it plays on with occasional notifications. That's all I want. It's also got MPRIS integration so I can control playback from the bar, so that's pretty sweet too.
I don't necessarily disagree with you, but I can offer a third purpose for jail that I think is the most important: it keeps people who are likely to harm others from doing so.

This idea is in concordance with the idea of rehabilitation (both separation and rehabilitation can happen at once), and it accommodates cases where the convicted is mentally ill.

Well, yes, you can sue for anything. The barrier here isn't that publishing that a firm is subject to an exploit is specially categorically immune from defamation liability, but the regular standards for defamation, which in the US include falsity, a certain measure of responsibility for the falsity (which carries based on whether public figure or a matter of public interest are involved), and actually damaging publication.

I was totally going to buy and enjoy a sports car when moving back to the states after 11 years abroad with no car at all. Then we got pregnant and...the dream has to wait ~5-10 years as I'm now into fancy strollers. :).
Even if we could just find a way to keep people from thinking about political parties the same way they do about sports we could make a lot of progress.
It'd be helpful to track down where the wealth goes. It seems to be broken down between the care provider, hospital, pharmaceutical companies and possibly the insurance company. Has anyone fully tracked down averages on where the money tends to go (possibly different for different types of cancer?)
I find that, ironically, they are great for all of the things that lambda and google cloud functions make difficult, e.g. image processing, open cv, heavy calculation using third party libraries, etc. What we need is a lambda-like service that uses Docker files that run for a max of 540 seconds.
Source based games like Counter-strike Global Offensive, mainly due to the engine being older. I actually built a mid-range gaming/VR setup with AMD processor years ago with the thought that cpu didnt matter much but later got into competitive CSGO. Quickly realized I made a mistake as the Intel CPUs of comparable price were much better for that game. Ryzen changed that a bit though I don't have a build with one.

That would be nice, then the run time predicate can be fast while the logical version remains elegant.

What happens if you remove requires { forall i j. (i <= j) -> (pred i -> pred j)}? I think it should still check, actually. That property ensures that the answer will be unique, but the algorithm will find a point pred i = False /\ pred (i+1) = True even if the predicate does not satisfy that property.

If you add the uniqueness to the ensures, does Z3 still automatically prove it correct?

ensures { forall j. pred j = False /\ pred (j+1) = True -> j == result) }

FWIW, insurance in other countries has limits, but rather high ones.

For example, my private liability insurance (50 EUR/a premium) is limited to 50 million EUR/event. So, yeah, if I ever accidentally create 60 million EUR damage (in one fell swoop), I'll be broke.

My travel health insurance is 12.50 EUR/a, and pays 100% of medically necessary out-patient and hospital treatments (for an unlimited number of trips up to 8 weeks), as well as repatriation, without limit. (This works, presumably, because if shit hits the fan, they'll fly you home and hand you off to the normal health insurance).

I can't emphasise enough how good it is to be in a civilised society where the existential risks are covered and shared. Furthermore, because they are borne by someone (either insurers or gov't), there are also experts dedicated to managing them, and reducing them.

It all works because everyone is insured, so the insurers don't have to worry about adverse selection.
As a developer, I would rather have a single key press than a chord.
We could set minimum amounts to go to schools so that even if every single person in the country allocated $0 of their discretionary fund to public education, the public education system would still have the funds needed.

And the default, if someone doesn't choose any categories, would go to some proportion that Congress would decide. However, allowing even a "small" portion - which could still be billions of dollars - to be allocated directly by taxpayers would gather some very interesting data.

It would be very interesting to see which agencies would attract the most money, and what strategies they'd use to attract people to give their discretionary tax dollars to them.

Would people give more to the CDC, NIH, NASA, the Dept of Housing, Dept of Transportation, Dept of Homeland Security, ... ? We could start to get a direct temperature of what is ailing people the most and what they want their money to fund.

Government agencies could even "advertise," or at least try to get positive news articles that really highlight what they're accomplishing, to spread the word about the good they're doing. It could engage people more in exactly how their money is being spent, and care further about government, because they have at least a small hand in directly funding different departments.

I won’t tell you what to do with your money, but there are a lot of cheap fun cars to drive out there. If you want fun to drive combined with new features like automatic lane keeping, dynamic cruise control, etc. you may need to shell out a little more for it.

I encourage high-earning tech workers to save more money in general - these are boom times. $60k pays rent on a room in the bay for a long time if you’re unemployed. I’m gonna buy the house before I lease the Tesla. But don’t know about your personal financial situation.
The transaction is acknowledged after it has been durably replicated to the distributed write-ahead log, and applied by at least one replica. The first replica to apply will ack back to the coordinator and on to the client. This increases partition tolerance and reduces latency.

The speculative work ("reconnaissance query") is what enables support for dependent transactions (transactions where the write set depends on the values of the read set rather than just the keys themselves). The transaction will optimistically retry if the speculation turns out to be false.
> The concept of public relations is not novel or unheard of. Like at all. ... Pointing out that PR exists is like noticing there's a bright shining light in the sky half of the time, it's completely devoid of insight.

Many, many people have heard of PR but still believe that articles like this are written by independent, unbiased investigative journalists. The piece starts off with "At the back of my New York closet", giving you the idea that the whole thing is by Alexandra, from Alexandra's point of view, all the way to "For now, I’m happy to pretend that they’re mine."

If the public could see the degree to which this experience and the words and research in this piece was spoon-fed to the author by Rent The Runway Inc, (what does that email chain actually look like?) it would be like telling them that the bright shining light in the sky the other half of the time was not a moon but a space station - absolutely mind-blowing.

> I personally am aware of it because I spent 10 years as an executive at a PR firm, so I feel some ability to speak on the subject.

While I appreciate your insight and would value further information on the PR industry, this disqualifies your opinion that the business you were in is not surprising.

I'm glad this is finally being discussed cogently. For the longest time one would be painted as un-patriotic or some other slur-of-the-moment for even suggesting there were vicious-cycles of pathologies in the current incarnation of this system. (And in how human psychology/game theory plays into it) But as you summarized, all incentives are aligned to maintain the status quo. How do we break out of this? Expansion of executive/corporate/partisan power is _nothing new_ in American history, and the trends and outcomes are very clear cut. (I do not know the answer, I've been contemplating this nonstop for the last decade at least, and the best answer I have is trying to engage more people to think about it)

What's remarkable to me is that very few people are even aware of the sheer mathematical/structural issues at hand: e.g. that we've expanded congressional representation from 1:(max)30000 citizens at the start, to 1:747184 as of 2017. We're engineers. We should understand scalability, and that _alone_ should be a giant red flag regarding its implications.
Scaleability means more than just being able to accept infinite requests without buckling. It also means writing predictable code that your teammates (or you 6 months later) can parse and understand whats going to get touched. I would argue thats more important for 98% of the stuff we build. You can iterate faster when you can understand what your changes touch and see the whole picture. Talking to what is essentially a bunch of stored procs on AWS or similar and/or letting your front end team write the database queries to fetch data seems like a massive footgun. Am I missing something here?

Pretty sure this is what you're looking for. It's a plugin for Pulseaudio that adds arbitrary DNLA/Chromecast devices.

Edit: And if you use Wine with Winamp, you can then steer Winamp to use chromecast as well. And as an aside, I also used Wine to make Windows programs (not the desktop) remote-run by running ssh crankylinuxuser@server -X -f "wine winamp.exe". And with Pulseaudio, redirection is trivial.

Not technically but if you had 1000 naked northern and southern Italians in a room you could probably achieve an 85+% success rate in segmenting them into their respective class. Northern Italians generally look much more like Germans or Swiss - on average taller, lighter skin, lighter eye color, whereas southern Italians are much swarthier and slightly shorter, coming from many years of arab, greek, and north african control.
All my job searches have been fairly intensive, switching between a notes file of some kind or a spreadsheet-alike and dozens of browser tabs (job req pages for companies I'm interested in, tabs of research on each company, etc).

Conversely, whenever I'm trying to get real work done on my phone I feel like I'm looking at and using the internet through a drinking straw. The interface just doesn't have enough bandwidth.

However, maybe there's a crop of people who don't feel this way and actually prefer phone apps? I'm definitely not going to tell these folks they're "doing it wrong", but they're ignoring at least some segment of the market if they only have a phone app.
You have a good mindset. A lot of people view a car as a status symbol and derive its utility from a social point of view, which I think is financially unhealthy. To me all I care about is 1: How safe is it?. 2: How much will it cost me over its lifetime? And 3: Does it get me and my stuff where I want to? Everything else comes far behind these three things.

People really shouldn't be borrowing money to buy a car. It's pretty crazy how many people do this.
Believe me I've done that too :)
I think there's a cross-platform chromecast library, but you need a developer key as part of your build/dist to use it. I seem to recall playing with a node module a couple years ago, and it wasn't THAT complex.

Integration on Android proper is probably going to be easier.
that would be extremely complex to be able to toss out the bits which are no longer relevant. everything might be no longer relevant.
