I think it's reasonable to expect HN readers to realise that threads have been merged, but it can be difficult to track down the article in question all the same.

Whilst complex threading might seem to counter the simplicty of HN, might it be reasonable to include a link to the original article when merging?
We can make money whatever we want. Fixed currencies that are backed by gold, surely, we can't 'make' gold ... but that's an artificial limitation.

I'm not saying we should make it what we want, but we have to remember that's what's at stake.

Organized crime may have the advantage that contracts are ruthlessly enforced ... so you can't have the totally corrupt value chain as you had with housing, wherein there was fiction from the house buyer, to the lender, to the VP of mortgages, to the bundlers, to the buyers of said bundlers, and to all the people trading on top of that.

Also, there are no derivatives or complex financial instruments riding on top of the drug trade, so the 'house of cards' would have a lot less falling to do if it were to come apart.

But you can't build an economy of killing people who don't pay you or sell to your customer ...

Not true at all. Lyft and uber are virtually identical; there is no consumer choice. Companies have an incentive only to provide a product that is not worse than their competitor, but the market is still anti-labor and anti-consumer.
Getting an ID goes far beyond just getting to the DMV. It also requires proof of address in many states, which immediately disqualifies the homeless. Many poor people also will not have access to documents such as birth certificates, SSN cards, and the like.

An example: https://www.dmv.org/ny-new-york/id-cards.php

To apply for a photo ID card, you must:

* Be a citizen or a legal resident of the U.S.

* Be a resident of New York State.

* Have your original birth certificate.

* Have your Social Security card.

* Be able to provide enough documents to verify your identity.

This is not a myth, and affects magnitudes more people than there are cases of voter fraud.
For the people saying that incomplete knowledge of theoretical foundations will lead to dangerous or "bad" AI - go read some papers from respected academics and 'industry leaders'.

It's not models that would necessarily be bad when made by something like "script-machine-learners". What has a lot of potential for a lot of badness is taking these models as given by "magic". Machine learning is essentially a giant exercise in piecing-together correlations by sort-of clever, sort-of brute-force methods. What's hard is knowing the proper application areas and the improper application areas.

Note that the cost per byte started going down with the printing press and then plunged with the computer revolution. As the cost goes down, increasingly trivial data gets preserved.

If we're going to think about this in evolutionary terms, we should consider what causes people to preserve data versus throwing it away. As the cost goes down, it might just be inertia; it's not worth deciding what to keep. Low energy cost is adaptive.
If you went in to vote one year, but for one reason or another some way some how you were improperly registered and were unable to vote that day, then would you be alright if someone tried to console you with the words, "It's alright, you only have one vote which is so incredibly small that it's statistically insignificant"?

I understand that we shouldn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good, but I think we shouldn't let the good be the enemy of the perfect either. The symbolic act in being able to cast your vote and at least have the feeling that you have control over various governments that have such powerful sway over your life is powerful and maybe even cathartic.

They may not need it, but source code will allow them to read it faster and with a higher chance of getting it right.

It will also make it easier to re-run the decryption routine to get the original file/verify a cracking attempt instead of having to reimplement it correctly (possibly without having known-good test vectors to check if they got it right).

The core of the problem is that there are workplace gender imbalances. It's not clear what you meant by "stated as obvious"--it's stated as the result of a survey, like all the other results--but one reason it's not the focus of the article is that women were almost 200% more likely than men to be in that position in the first place.

"With genders reversed," the result is also reversed. Articles are being written about it (like the one you just read). Public discussion is occurring about it (like the one we're having). You seem to be more upset by the survey's findings not aligning with your assumptions than by any perceived flaw with its methods.
I like how this talk explains meditation and it's progression, with variations on the practice: http://centerforsacredsciences.org/podcasts/Listening%20to%2...

Warning: on the talk, meditation is explained in a mystical context, but the practice is the same whether you share or not that perspective.
I think attributing it to any one cause is kind of silly. It's a fact that American cities are much more car centric with higher speeds and fewer areas with traffic calming measures, all of which make the roads much safer.

Daily highway driving is much more common for commutes and errands, suburbs have dangerous arterial street designs.

I'm sure there's more to it, such as licensing and vehicle safety measures, but American highway design (and making local roads into mini highways) is a part of it.

Also the EU measure is EU-wide, and not all countries in the EU are as strict as say Germany for licensing.

Thanks for the great points! I definitely went for "less is more" in this iteration. Financials should be incorporated, but I didn't want to just dump it on the casual reader who's not familiar with financial statements.

I think people's motivations for writing fiction - novels - could be reduced to six.

Some of these motivations are simple to understand - 'get rich', 'get recognised', 'sheer pleasure', 'because your failed author parents want you to repeat their folly' and so on. I have seen 'there are only n types of plot' stories before, I would much rather have motivations for writing novels being the categorisation as then I would be able to better identify what I did want to read, i.e. the 'banned books'.

There is a big difference between what some Eton educated aristocrat dictates to their secretary so they can be lauded in society as an 'author' to what someone in jail with no education writes to get themselves their freedom. This applies to words beyond novels too. For example the 'left wing' writings of Tony Benn (UK anti-war movement, aristocrat, dictated to secretaries) matter very little to me compared to what Malcolm X had to say.

New stories that don't necessarily fit into pigeonholes can come from real life where that period of history is a bit of a lie and the truth can't be told under any circumstances. During these times the only truth can be found in novels that transpose the names, times and places for something that the audience won't self-censor. So we end up with 'Oceania' or 'Animal Farm' with it not being clear what regime is being critiqued exactly.

Such works of fiction are written because something needs to be said, or at least the author thinks so. It is not like the author has decided 'I want to become a writer' and googled a plot from the internet to rip off. In this way literature is written, not just novels to make money with.

Actually, everything is biological, including depression. The CDC, NIH, etc. are in agreement that the illness is real, and not malingering or hypochondria. But they are open-minded to the etiology.

You simply want race to not be the cause. But all available evidence says it is. When people try to "fix" the evil racist computers by restricting the algorithm from using race, it simply finds proxies for race like "number of liquor stores per capita".

Thank you for the comment! As an ex-investment banker I can tell you that not all sections are not given equal amount thought when putting the doc together – large swaths of the doc are often legal template language.

You could use multi cycle paths so this doesn't limit your global timing. Then you would save the registers. This is much more useful for ASIC design, because on an FPGA the registers are there whether you use them or not.

However total latency will be lower than a pipe-lined version which is nice if that's what your optimizing for.
>ME is the newer name for it

No, actually ME was the old name which was coined in the 1950s. It was eventually dropped in favour of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in the 1990s when it was realised that there typically wasn't brain inflammation, and there wasn't always myalgia.

The term ME was resurrected recently because it is more appealing to some patients, implying a more severe and physical illness.

IBM like Redhat is a long time contributor and both are commercial companies driven by profits and shareholders so this does not change things.

However no one can deny Redhat has a disproportional influence in pushing its interests that may not always be in the community's best interests. These now move to IBM.

The bigger problem is the growing tilt of open source towards corporate interests so much so that dependence on individual companies passes without notice or scrutiny.

This is perhaps not the end result that motivated the initial community of open source contributors over the last 20 years and if we do not find ways to motivate the next generation open source will likely become a shell of itself, propped up by paid contributors and self interest.
Most large operator datacenters are converging toward things like Clos and fat tree networks that provide abundant bandwidth at acceptable cost and with minimal blocking. Switch silicon vendors have really done yeoman's work pushing the envelope to make this possible and inexpensive. AWS might have such magnitude of machine count and generally low customer resource utilization that they can oversubscribe a lot, but it would be pretty silly to only bring in 200gbps to a rack post 2014 when the Broadcom Tomahawk switch ASIC became dominant.

> There are quite a few people who take cash and yet do not report it as income. However, in the case you are describing a business would have to sell something illegally (without reporting their sales to the IRS). In my mind controlling businesses is far less burden on the IRS than individuals (how many returns are audited again? less than 1%?).

You can easily do the same thing. Just take the cash from selling stuff and don't report it as income. Hell, you could report it as a loss at that, and maybe even get some benefit from that. There's still ways around it, and they will be found by those who have the money to find them.

> Not only that, if that money is then used to purchase legitimate goods the tax is still received.

But it's not. The tax on what the new person bought is, but not on the original purchase. The tax of the original purchase still isn't received.

Either way, it hurts honest people and the poor, who likely don't have the connections or money to get around paying taxes; not to mention it's a much higher percentage of their income that's being taxed, so it doubly impacts them if it's sales-tax only.

1. We know that the west was running a significant trade deficit with china. To such a degree that we finally decided war was the only option. We know that soon after the first opium war, china started running a trade deficit with the west.

2. We know that economic impact was so significant it collapsed much of chinese society and led to the greatest catastrophe in the 19th century. Up to 30 million people died.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiping_Rebellion

Putting that into perspective, up to 20 million chinese during ww2.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties

3. We know that half of the largest western banks were founded in the mid 1800s ( HSBC, Wells Fargo, BNP Paribas, Santander, Deutsche Bank, Toronto-Dominion, Royal Bank of Canada, Societe Generale, etc ). Doesn't mean that all the banks were financed by opium money but that immense capital accumulation occurred in the west making it possible to found a large number of banks.

4. We know enough capital was accumulated in the west to heavily industrialize. Though we credit britain with starting the industrial revolution in the early 1700s, it didn't become significant until the mid 1800s when britain and primarily the US went on a major industrial campaign.

5. On the flip side, we know that china didn't have the capital or stability to industrialize.

6. We know opium money produced at least two US presidents in short time.

As for getting a specific number. I don't know how we'd even get that. We know it was significant enough that it completely tilted the world in favor of the west and ruined china for 100 years.
Bitcoin/crypto was designed with express intent of allowing financial transactions to be safe and trustworthy without a central broker (ie a bank). Since the value of a coin was essentially arbitrary, speculators with big graphics cards drove the price up leading a bubble which has attracted the sharks and now the whales. I haven't seen any major breakthroughs in the technology, but there has been innovation in the usage of coins from simple currency to investment securities. Arguably we've come full circle and Bitcoin is now the opposite of what it intended but that doesn't mean it isn't innovation. Frisbees used to be pie plates.
