I don't appreciate people who attempt to police others on how and when to discuss things; I think it lacks social grace.

I was in no way trying to police anything. I was merely trying to convey that context impacts interpretation of a remark. Lighthearted humor amidst such a serious discussion comes across as disrespectful and dismissive, even mocking.

Given your above comment on the matter, it seems it is not inaccurate to see the comment that way. In fact, that likely is a wholly accurate interpretation of your intent. Someone was sexually harassed and your reaction is to point and laugh, basically.

It is funny when competitors mention:

"We will take a currently winning product X and deliver 2X by some future date Y."

Imagine if competitors actually said:

"We will first catch up to X by some date before Y. Then we will hit 2X by Y".
The patches are already in progress for folks that are part of the embargo. Not anyone else. BSDs, Linux distros that aren't RHEL or Debian based, and niche OS almost always get left out in the cold.
I anal but it might be worth looking into making EULA null and void. But first (sorry for sounding like a broken record), we must repeal the cfaa.
Very unlikely. Next year perhaps, seems a fairly popular proposal.
I'm sure Tesla will also have EVs as good as Tesla for half the price by 2020.

They'll also have a vastly improved super charger network, a mature software ecosystem, a mature direct sales/servicing model, and whatever else they dream up like Powerwall and other systems that can potentially add value to the whole. VW will just be scratching the surface by 2020 while Tesla will likely continue sprinting ahead.
Is the world ready for Sociogenomics?
There isn’t that much money to be gained. I work for a Danish muniplacity and we do digital voter registration, but I don’t think we’ll ever do digital voting because it’s unsafe.

Our system is a little different, here every citizen is mailed a “ticket” they can exchange for the voting ballot in the weeks leading up to the election. If yours is lost in the mail, no worry, we can print you a new one, and you can’t really use someone else’s because it has your name on it and we check.

In every ticket there is a barcode that we scan, to speed handing the out ballots up, this also counts the amount of voters, and that’s the digital part of the election. It’s also the most burdensome, so this is where digitisation saves us time.

The voting is done on paper and counted in hand, and checked with the amounts who have passed through the digital system, if it’s off by more than 1-3 votes there is a recount until it fits.

The counting takes a few hours at each location, but it’s done by the same people who’ve worked the voting place all day to ensure the safety of democracy, so it’s not really that expensive or inefficient.

And that’s not accounting for the cost of voting machines. The digital part of our elections is the most expensive part of the process, because digital systems are expensive.

We use them because they add convenience for the citizens since they eliminate queues, but it would actually be much cheaper to do the whole process on paper.

I’m not sure why America ever installed digital voting machines, but I can’t see any reason to do so. Especially not some that don’t leave a paper trail.

I don't really agree with you. I think there were a million things to do, and in how many you can try something new and untested depends on how much buffer you have. Some of these new things come in batches, like the automation thing they tried with Model 3 that didn't work out and was reverted. And even this was probably a calculated risk.
It's very little.

This was also the original problem we set out to solve. Thank you for letting us know that more people share the same problem. Unfortunately we haven't yet gotten it into the hands of the marketing agencies.

If you are ok with it, can you send us a 'hello' mail at team{at}imgtranslate.com so that we can discuss a little more with you.

I haven't read the paper if you can't tell from the system who you voted for, then you must be trusting the machine to give you some kind of random number which corresponds to each candidate. So it's only a partial verification.

In that case, there is a simple way to do it. Just publish a list of all ballets (by random ID) and their matching votes (by another random ID). No math needed.

At first I thought this is an unusually short news article.

Looks like the reason is that it needs Googles amp code to function.

It's hillarious that Google gets away bloating the web with crap and selling us that as a way to make it more lightweight.

Flagging it for this reason. I think we should not support AMP here on HN.
There is so much money in politics, it's not surprising when one of them rejects an overwhelming number of experts and sides with their donors or the short-term economic interests of their constituents.

Sure, short sighted, profit focused decisions create a long term detriment, but the system that encourages and rewards those types of decisions is also a big problem.
I wish. I'd pay a lot if someone would make a good e-version of a "boring" car like a Golf. No huge center-mounted display, no app store, no forced remote updates, no DRM locking me out of reparing my own car. If they keep the sensors for partially automated driving as a better cruise control, I'm fine with that.

Unfortunately, the current e-Golf is just a regular Golf poorly converted to electric, way too expensive and with not enough range.
I believe he’s referring to “near misses” being illegal in some jurisdictions (Nevada being one). Slot machines are not supposed to be engineered to make it look like you almost won a large jackpot, but didn’t.

Candy Crush seems to specialize in near misses, for example by creating levels where almost all of the achievements required to pass a given level are easy, and then one is next to impossible. You don’t keep $1 billion+ per year coming in on a years-old game without some serious psychological tricks.
Any good resource for this? I'm currently stuck maintaining some Python 3 code that must run on CentOS 7 (only Python 2 available) and for this I maintain a large "translation" patch on top of the upstream source, which is painful to say the least.
>> The answer is that these three models are special cases of
more general exponential Lévy models. Options cannot be priced with general exponential Lévy models using the traditional approach of the use of the risk-neutral
density of the terminal stock price because it is not available.

Does this mean there is no hedging strategy in these general exponential models? My understanding is the Black-Scholes gives the price, such that if the price was different, there would be an arbitrage strategy (under some assumptions on the variance). And this arbitrage strategy is used for hedging.
It's failing to refute anything!
Thanks for the book recommendation - I'll definitely read it. To be honest I feel like this idea is a natural law, so I didn't develop it - just made the personal observation as a consequence of abandoning my own born-culture, adopting another, abandoning it, adopting another, etc. as I've moved around the world to live.

>Which, for me, raises the question: is the latter type an unspoken collective fiction, but a collective fiction nonetheless?

I would say, yes. Because its a natural law - there is no such thing as human culture, unless we perpetuate it in the telling - and this is why I chose the word, quite carefully, lie. Lies have to be re-told in order to persist.

Collective fiction is a great phrase, and I will integrate that into my thinking. :)

>And what are the practical differences between the two. Especially: does one type persecute outsiders more than the other?

I think the human mind identifies, associates, and differentiates - and that each of these activities can either support perpetuating collective fiction, or deny it. To the extent that the individual recognises that they are indeed perpetuating a fiction, determines the 'detriment' to other individuals who are also capable of the same feat, albeit within their own identified cultures.

>I ought to turn my armchair sociology into a reading list.

Likewise, and thanks for the insight.
For your location that may be an issue, but in other parts of Europe keeping summer time all year around will mean the sun doesn't rise until nearly 10am. The real issue here is such a large location is in the same timezone. The sun rises over 1 1/2 hours earlier in the East of Poland compared to the West of Spain, even though they are in the same timezone.

Competitive Programming: Towards a New Era of ESports?
I'm a big fan of clearways. Do you have those in the states? Not only is it no parking and no stopping, but if you do between certain times, they'll tow you away without warning, park you in a random side street (phone to find out where...) and slap you with a fine.
Sorry but I disagree. Lies have to be told and re-told in order to persist, they are not the natural order of things, a base truth. This is the nature of culture, also. Culture doesn't persist unless the human mind identifies with it, differentiates and associates it from other cultures.

The downvotes are actually a manifestation of this point.

If you ever bothered to watch Sphere talks, the reason has nothing to do with scale, rather with OEMs, licensing and access to source code for customization.
Sounds like the Nissan Leaf?
Same in the UK. The sounding of a horn when a vehicle is stationary is prohibited, unless there is danger from a moving vehicle. It's generally respected, you rarely hear a car horn.
VW produces 10 million regular ICE cars a year.

It will take time to shift an entire entrenched organizational culture to focus on EVs...and not just making them, but to make ones that are truly without compromise ("as good as Tesla").

These things aren't easy at all, though it might be tempting to think that it's just a matter of resources. Microsoft had all the resources in the world and still couldn't pull off Bing or Windows Phone.

To challenge your thinking a bit, consider this: part of the reason you can buy a Tesla in California or Texas today and not worry about range at all is the supercharger network that can take your Model 3 from 0 to 80% in 20mins. That's a multi decade infrastructure investment that VW hasn't even begun. And no, regular 3rd party chargers you see plopped in random malls and centers aren't even close. Not by a long shot.
This. I'm also waiting for this.
A Golf with electric range as much as a Tesla, with supercharging like charging capabilities will be the best...
Is a run-of-a-mill McJob stressful by itself? Now compare that to stock trading where you're risking sums you wouldn't earn in your lifetime daily.

On top of that, management jobs add stress of dealing with your subordinates. You're responsible for their mistakes as well as their wellbeing depends on you. One of the most stressful things in running small business is know that your employees' families depend on you.

Scum managers exist at all levels. Even if you at executive level, it's likely you'll have investors or owners above you. I suppose HN is aware how stressful dealing with VCs is.
Vertical integration is happening everywhere, especially due to advances in technology allowing for much greater economies of scale. Insurers have to combine with each other to get bigger to negotiate with providers and pharmacies, providers have to combine with each other to get bigger to negotiate with insurers, pharmacies have to combine with each other to negotiate with drug manufacturers and PBMs, drug manufacturers combine with each other to negotiate with insurance, and finally, insurance combines with pharmacy and PBM (Aetna/cvs) to negotiate with drug manufacturer and providers.

Telecoms, computers, retailing, everything is trending towards a handful of big players with enough vertical integration to be able to survive. Initially, this is could be good for consumers as the cost savings of economies of scale might be passed on to them, but we will pay for it at the end when there is only 2 vendors to choose from and they dictate the price.

I'm sure even the NY Times has its limits and so do the likes of al Jazeera and the BBC.

Another question: Could Intel or nVidia or Microsoft or Facebook do something similar for tech journalists?
That’s fine but then it ends up like an Atlassian project, not something devs want to use for their next personal project.

And yes I’m familiar with expensive licenses, we have one which is $20k per physical dongle and it’s terrible.
> Is that what you want? A city centre made up of tourists staying in "optimally priced" AirBNB flats, whilst the actual residents are forced to live elsewhere?

Maybe.

Some cities cater fairly exclusively to tourists, giving them the best locales, whilst locals live in less scenic areas further away from commercial districts.

I lived in a tourist city, and it didn't feel terrible.

If Berlin becomes like that in the future, residents will adapt---its only during the transition that the most hardship is felt, since people feel their status quo changing.

That said... I don't actually believe in unrestrained capitalism, so if Berlin residents want to vote to restrict zoning, it's their right.
Hey ohazi, thanks for sharing your thoughts here.

A point of clarification that didn’t make the article: we’ve not technically raised VC funding yet, we’re in an incubator. But we’ve effectively raised an initial round via our budget, and are on the path to raise our first round proper.

I agree with the rough sentiment of what you’re saying but think it’s a slightly too narrow point of view. Joining an incubator or accelerator helps minimise downside whilst in the process of figuring out the problem space and whether your hypothesis have legs. Sure, you can do this as a side hustle first and that’s great too, but as I say in the article, it depends on your circumstances.

I’m not raising money specifically because of personal life challenges, deciding to raise only came after making the big life adjustments. It’s my belief that raising can sometimes be less pressurised than bootstrapping, though admittedly most startup founders don’t live it out that way. We’ve got our beliefs based on what we know and our experience so far, I look forward to walking it all out and reporting back on what I learn.
Still, the planet won't cool down only because we start using solar energy. We should actively remove CO2 and methane from the atmosphere. Planting trees is likely not enough.

This other article from 2017
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2017/07/antarcti... states that

> the last time atmospheric carbon dioxide was as high as it is today, and the temperature was about what it’s expected to be in 2050, sea levels were up to 70 feet higher than today.

That's going to cause mass migrations in all countries of the world, rich and poor, and destroy the logistics that let us live like we do now. Obviously we'll adapt but there are going to be maybe billions of deaths (famine and diseases). I think I'm lucky because I'll be dead by then. However I could see the first coastal cities going a little bit underwater.

Ultimately we elect our politicians so we are responsible for what they decide and not decide to look at. We'll get what we deserve.
“Young man, in mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them.” -- John Von Neumann

My approach to "understanding" (if that's the right word) the quaternions was to first memorise the various identities relating quaternion algebra to 3d rotations. I didn't actually "understand" them, and I still feel a bit dodgy with them, but I got used to them in a way. Second, it helps to try and solve some problems with them. That also gets you "used" to them.

The 3B1B videos are supplementary for me. I still find quaternions a bit miraculous. And Geometric Algebra doesn't seem like the solution for me, because it's another weird and even more complex formalism.
And $250 billion of revenue as a group annually. But that doesn’t help - if Tesla platformized the software with a developer program, the adoption rate would be astronomical and that lockin would be hard to defeat, same as the iPhone. The car will be the same as mobile phone hardware. The question is can Vw pull that off? They can certainly make the cars.
You can do stuff like this with Linux.
Overall we should put more emphasis on journey than on the goal. It's OK to strive to be world's best. But it's OK to not become one and just be 150th on the grand standing. Journey is what matters. Even if you do become world's best, you'll probably won't be world's best a moment later and journey is all you'll have left.

>I found this paper to be very wordy and littered with mathematics that was at times impenetrable.

don't understand this comment. if someone asked you to read a QFT paper would you claim it were "littered" with impenetrable mathematics? or vice versa: if a cond mat physicist read a geophysics paper would they be justified in claiming the same? you're reading a paper outside of your domain of expertise; expect to be challenged.

Which model? A couple of years ago I got an e-Golf and it's been pretty amazing. I say that as someone who owned 2 (petrol) Golfs prior. I got it cheaper than any previous Golf and it had more features too. I understand range anxiety, but the same holds (at the same price) with other marks (I've also owned a Leaf). What makes the e-Golf poorly converted and too expensive?
It's even easier to embed a sublanguage that requires two sets of parens to write a list if that's what happens to make you happy.

"I have this sublanguage..." is not a very interesting participant in the evidence that Lisp doesn't have lots of parens.
Seconding the supplement option.

VW are selling 100x as many EVs as Tesla? Really? Do you have a source for this claim?
I think this is one reason why EC2 is limited to 25G while 100G has been commodity for a long time.

Interestingly, the ENA driver has #defines for speeds up to 400 Gbps.

My guess as to why EC2 instances are limited to 25 Gbps is that it's a matter of balancing overprovisioning and the need to avoid having a single instance eat too much of a rack's bandwidth. I don't know how much bandwidth they have going to each rack, but there's a limit to how much it makes sense to provision; if typical bandwidth is on the order of 10 Gbps per rack (say, 80 instances pushing 125 Mbps on average) then you might want to provision 200 Gbps/rack and limit each instance to 25 Gbps rather than provisioning 1 Tbps/rack and limiting each instance to 100 Gbps.

The point is saying summer time is better than winter time regardless you where you live is meaningless. Depending where you live, the offset with the sun is different.

In France for example I'd rather we stick with winter time all year round, because I don't care if it's dark at 6pm on winter but doing your morning commute during the night is highly depressing.
