For the elite, the same applies in the US. You can generally buy your way into the Ivys if your parents have enough money, or if your parents were students (which the could have been because their parents had been). Coupled with the general problem of high paying jobs in many fields favoring the school on your degree over actual ability you get a self reinforcing cycle.
Discriminating against someone because of their employer sounds like a very dangerous precedent to set.

> I think everyone agrees that outsourcing work to third world economies creates immense wealth in first world economies.

It also creates wealth in those third world economies. In fact, they benefit the most.

> We also know that burning fossil fuels is the cheapest way to make useful heat. That doesn't mean it doesn't have a lot of negative unintended consequences.

Can you explain why you think this comparison is relevant?
Blocking the court from accessing the company’s own website seems like a strange move. Do the courts in Sweden write laws or regulations, or are they enforcing the laws and regulations that were already written? Does anyone with the power to change the decision even see the company’s protest?
I was literally cringing when she spouted this nonsense. If that's the case, maybe they should do the same in the Bay Area as well. It won't distort the housing market etc.
If.

You can’t protect yourself against a global calamity where everything suddenly correlates.

But look at what happened during the crash of 2000 where stocks and housing market went opposite ways for a nice example to the contrary.
I recently ported a fairly simple ruby project to crystal, and am happy with the result. I'm now writing another smallish project in crystal, and finding it quite productive. I like the syntax and language features of ruby, but I prefer static typing... so it's a nice addition. I'm glad to see crystal has momentum.
I used to live in Crystal city until 2011. Back then it was $1700 a month for one bedroom. Now it’s around $2200 a month for one bedroom. Putting their headquarters there will turn Crystal city into a very, very expensive parking lot.
Then the poster is wrong. They are very much all sort of the same.
Ive been doing the 'buy 2' high quality products instead of the 'buy 1 apple product'.

Now, I dont actually buy 2 products, but I simply replace with the latest high end product when I want/need to. I am unsure whats cheaper and better quality.

Im curious in studying this for comparison(I run a consumer website), what are your quality metrics for service and warrenty?

So far I have:

>Time to fix/repair(downtime)

>Cost/deductible/copay

>Annoyance(losing contacts/photos/etc...)

Can you think of anything else?
Indeed, and Arc has some brilliant ideas, but if you ever tried to hack in it, you'd experience how dog slow it really is. But Arc's web framework is implemented in somewhat low level MzScheme and is entirely different (and much slower) than web apps in Racket's[0].

Part of what makes Hacker News fast is that the page only has 4-ish images (if you count the invisible gif that is used for indentation) and a tiny amount of JS.

Of course it's not. Yet this is an issue where you get as close to certainty as you can in any social science.

But you are assuming they were living beyond their means.

They were really not. They were able to find another place near paying similar rent.

The point is the house owners were basically getting around a local laws meant to protect renters against unreasonable rent increases.

Where I live, there is a law against raising monthly rent substantially on an existing renter. Owner can raise the rent for existing tenant say about 3 - 5%, once a year. I'm not sure about the exact percentage, but it is allowed only once a year for sure, to a specific percentage of the existing rent.

So the house owner gets around this law by periodically forcing out the renter with bogus reasons, so that they can rent out the property to the next renter at a substantially higher rate.

Instead of being able to increase rent from $2500 to $2700 after the renters lived there for first 2 years, property owner can raise the rent from $2500 to $3000 or even $3500. The property owner is basically getting around the local law to protect renters.
Interesting is though how the number's been growing over the years, even though the amount of sold devices's been rather stagnant. Google pays a lot per customer, while Apple allows to use DuckDuckGo and others. I wonder how long will Google feel it's that valuable for them (and what a percentage of users'd swich to Google even though other search engine would be default instead)
It's hardly a precedent.

I think the concept of "distributed systems" is very broad.

Do you mean service oriented architectures? That's the practical 'distributed' systems many companies are using today. You don't need a degree- just go work at Amazon for a couple years.

Do you mean decentralized systems and algorithms? Paxos, Raft, Bitcoin and TOR? Then sure, you might consider a master's degree. Or just start reading papers online and messing around with code in your spare time.
Yeah, that's obvious on the face of it and not what grabbed me.

I'm fascinated by the power of positioning of the creators of the project and how easily that can go wrong. That has long fascinated me and this is an incredibly powerful example summed up in a nutshell in the paragraph I quoted, which is a rare thing to see.
Yes, but your clustering is just read-only replicas. So you still have the problems that when your graph gets huge and you run out of space to scale each node up you're going to have a bad time. And it also ignores that when you're talking about scaling up to truly monstrous machines with TB of memory the cost is astronomical.

I agree, it's not an easy problem to solve, but saying nobody has solved it isn't accurate either - OpenLink (who I mentioned previously) solved it for their RDF engine. At a previous gig using that across an 8 node cluster we were seeing load rates of hundreds of thousands of edges (or in this case, quads) per second.

The distinction you're trying to draw vanishes as soon as this becomes a standard practice. Passwords are already stored hashed and salted. They get compromised anyway, because the data is valuable. Under the circumstances you describe, cracking 5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99 (which takes less than a second) is just as valuable as cracking a password database entry is now, because the underlying issue -- reuse of credentials -- hasn't gone away. (In fact, you're encouraging it, so it's probably somewhat worse.) As long as people are reusing credentials across multiple websites, those credentials will have value greater than that associated with their use on any particular site, and other people will put in the effort to crack them. Even when you're generating and submitting a cryptographically secure salted hash, you haven't improved on the situation now, where databases store a secure salted hash of the password.
Depends who is defining what is ethical of course. The fact that ethics is cultural will mean that each side will probably think they are the most ethical.

To disprove that claim: try to come up with an ethical framework which makes no mention of a higher power as justification, and tell us why it is better than all others. Most land on some variant of utilitarianism and then disagree what the objective function should be.

I noticed it and thought it somewhat odd as well.

Santiago Ramon y Cajal was Spanish, and apparently lived, died and had his career in Spain. Camillo Golgi was Italian, and apparently lived, died and had his career in Italy. Neither of them warrant any mention of their nationality, yet Just's status as a member of a minority group in the United States apparently does. Maybe an earlier draft had more on the topic, or maybe there's supposed to be some implicit understanding that he went through hardship that made his discovery less likely (although that's not quite the same theme as the rest of the paper)?
I think this issue is likely to be diminished as the performance difference's not been improving that much lately (X and XS having similar CPU performance) - we have come to a point of smartphone evolution where yearly additions to a performance will not be the reason to upgrade -> therefore I don't expect new iOS versions slowing devices significantly.
Disclaimer: only 1/2 done reading it. So far, the biggest actionable takeaway for me is the importance of taking breaks. I have the luxury of working for myself, mostly from my home office, which allows me the oppty to experiment w/ different ways to manage my workday.

I suspect he means "accessing the ISP's services".
I would recommend getting a MS degree in /systems/ engineering. From there, you can study the distributed world but also you can access the equally fascinating world of general systems engineering. To make it better, your computer background will be a plus compared to fresh grads.
>Aether is a peer-to-peer app, and it has no servers. A result of this is that source IP of any specific public post cannot (easily) be determined.

Not possible. Either source IP's are in communication, meaning you know the active posters IP, or the content is being proxied from a centralized server.

I hate Discords lies in saying they won't sell user data, but at the least they know the real danger of how IP's are infact all that's needed to call a swatt team down to kill someone in the U.S.

If you want to build an actual private conscious platform you will have to do something like FreeNode where people can make their own 'servers' for free, but also make their own actual servers if they want to.

Free speech doesn't require private actors to enable noxious speech, just as the First Amendment doesn't require the government to buy you a printing press.

However, there are precedents in the law that show the US government prioritizes Free Speech over property rights. In 2018, allowing someone on your site is more akin to letting someone walk on your sidewalks than running a printing press for them.

No, the article’s about actual bots pretending to be Democrats saying they won’t vote at all. The article also notes the bots are likely American, not Russian. No one is being removed from Twitter for announcing their plans to vote GOP.

That'll never happen. Even if the case is closed and there are no loose ends for that particular case, it would still reveal the collection methods used, potentially impacting other foreign intel and FISA related cases.
I mean, I'm ok with occasional loud motorcycles driving through the neighborhood.

But this case is more than that. So, this particular neighbor is not riding a motorcycle through the neighborhood. Other riders do and I'm ok with that. But this particular neighbor revs the motorcycle engines "while standing still to test them". A few minutes at a time, about 3 - 5 times a week.

Now imagine zoning law was gone. It might mean a user car mechanic moving in to operate a repair business, while leaving numerous unused cars on the street. It could mean someone opening a hair salon a door down from me. Or maybe another person opening a martial arts studio above me.

Hard to have a completely slanted bias on social media, and then have the social media provider share your opinion.
It's still marketing BS. Yes, governments certify and regulates marketing BS.

The part that makes it BS has nothing to do with regulation. Homeopathy and Chiropractic are regulated and certified in various ways, they're still BS.
If someone is going to accuse a company of having third party spy chips in their phones, they'd better be ready to prove it. Especially if that company is known for their insanely strict (not very strict, actually insane) supply chain management and have been known to put suppliers into bankruptcy for not meeting the company's supply needs exactly (GTAT sapphire). Especially a company very recently in the news for having picked apart every chip on a server motherboard to find out if any of those chips were not in the BOM.

I don't have to blindly trust anything to know the burden of that proof is on the person making that claim. If you're going to accuse that company of mismanaging their supply chain and compromising the security of their users and their products while crowing publicly otherwise, you'd better come with some evidence.
I just find it ironic that in NN threads here, the prevailing thought is "NN is necessary to prevent censorship!" and then in censorship/deplatforming threads like this one, the prevailing thought is "this is a good thing and actually necessary"

In addition to collapse, climate change, etc which would be relatively predictable, there would also likely be a potent feed back mechanism in the form of global war bringing the extinction tipping point closer much more quickly than we are prepared to cope with.
> 100% of scientists have an option to publish a copy in arxiv or biorxiv. It's not happening.

This is not about publishing, this is about peer-reviewed publishing. Putting something on an open Internet archive does not count as a publication you could put on your CV. Were I work, for example, our publications are analyzed with bibliometric tools based on a point system, and our funding and tenure directly depends on that. Putting something in an archive or on a web page: 0 points. Not peer-reviewed: 0 points. Peer-reviewed but not indexed by Scopus: 5 points (probably should be 0 though). Indexed by Scopus and peer-reviewed: 10 points.

The third party rating system you suggest makes no sense and could not possibly work. You have to understand that it's not Elsevier who do the peer-reviewing, but your own colleagues who do anonymous peer-reviews and are, of course, not paid for that. No mandated 3rd-party authority could possibly determine and warrant the quality of scientific publications. After all, where would the assessors come from? From the pool of our colleagues, of course.

Elsevier and Kluwer themselves do basically nothing. They provide some final editing in India. They don't run the journals, don't compose the editorial boards, don't control the reviews, and have nothing to do with the content of publications. What they have is the prestige of the journals they took over or bought from the 70s until now. For the top journals, which are the only journals that count, this prestige includes a vast pool of reviewers and a famous editorial board, as well as many decades of highly acclaimed publications. You cannot just replace that with a open access journal, it takes 30-50 years of good editorial work for that journal to get the same reputation.

That's the problem.
That would be very cool! Let me know if you ever implement it, Aether only delivers text at this moment.
Golang.
FWIW: this was true even 15-20 years ago. I can't really speak comparatively, but I certainly was put in multiple years of SAT/ACT practice+drilling at home, and occasionally full summer courses. And despite coming out of that with nearly perfect scores my having a 3.3 GPA was considered so low as to preclude me from most of the top schools I applied to. (My admission rate was 3 schools out of 13, if I'm remembering right) This not to mention APs, extracurriculars, resume padding (although not on the same order of magnitude as OP)

I'd be curious to when this trend started, but it was certainly well in motion when I squeezed through the system.
