New Orleans, a city with 50% functional illiteracy, would like a word with you.
Judging from Seattle's experience, Amazon is not really prepared to do anything other than garner support from the business community and support a token streetcar. And Metro's capital needs are probably much bigger than Seattle's and are politically more complicated due to three jurisdictions that are frenemies in the best of times.

There are several ways copyright and patent laws are outdated, though most aren't directly relevant to this discussion.

Scientific journals are an especially interesting case. They way copyright law applies to scientific journals is certainly broken, but I think it has been broken for a long time. Afaik, in most cases scientists are not paied royalties for the papers they publish in journals, and in some cases even have to pay for the privilege of submitting a paper. Peer reviewers also aren't paid for their time reviewing papers. Yet publishers charge very steep rates for access to the journals. Essentially all the publisher does is, well publish the papers, and select which papers they think are important enough to include in the journal.

Technology changes the landscape in three ways. First, digital publishing is significantly cheaper and more efficient than publishing hard copy journals, so in a competitive market you would expect the price for journals to go down. Second, in digital publishing, there is less need to limit the number of published papers in an issue to a set number, which again should reduce cost. Finally, it makes it much easier for "pirates" to distribute copies of journals without restrictive paywalls.

I would also be very surprised if many of the scientists whose papers were "pirated" would complain that their papers are easier to access by other scientists. I mean, the more scientists that have access to the papers, the more likely the paper is to be read and cited. And most scientists will care much more about that, than how much money the journal is making off of it. The only people that benefit from high pawalls for access to scientific papers, is the publisher.
We, at Linki Tools [0], use Racket for our main product: S10 [1]. Not hiring at the moment but most likely will in the near future. I always hire remote (contracting up to now) and by the time I have to hire remote for racket I don't think I will have any problems finding a fine dev.

If you're in the Frankfurt area, I will be presenting at the first After Work Racket [2] on Thursday, the 8th. Come join us.

>There are other coins that already use PoS.

There are some coins that use PoS as a voting mechanism not a consensus mechanisms. If you so desired, you could do the same in any PoW chain.

>How is it a ploy?

Broadly small-game fallacy[1]. If PoS would work at scale ethereum developers would have already deployed it. It doesn't work. Why?

An physical analogy for why PoS can never achieve BFT is:
Assume 1) A cryptographic hash function is not broken 2) you live in a cave and you cannot talk the outside world

You are given a letter with a series of nested hash pointers that could have only been produced if they expended resources to created. There is no way this could have been faked, even though you live in a cave, you can trust the message. PoW is a stable BFT solution.

Another version of you in PoS land is also in a cave. You receive a message. It has a list of Arcade tickets that are signed by other Arcade tickets. In order to trust the veracity of this message you have to hope that someone else outside of your cave also saw this message to you because if they haven't, you could be being eclipse attacked, consequently defrauded. You cannot trust that this message hasn't been forged without contacting other people or hoping that other people have see this message. It's not stable it's not a solution to BFT. It's why after 4 years and counting Ethereum still hasn't implemented it.

Denver still makes the most sense to me. Single hop to Beijing & Shanghai, real estate and wages aren't at DC, Seattle, Bay Area rates quite. Lots of amenities (open space, good beer, close to skiing) that Amazon doesn't actually have to pay for. Decent tech scene (Google, Facebook, Uber campuses, as well as an ever growing Amazon dev presence). Large downtown property looking for a buyer and is probably underrated (Elitch Gardens). Decent public transit that's trending really well (new light rail within the past couple of years, and more coming out soon).

DC never made sense to me. The other defense contractors manage to not have HQs in DC.

I think this story is exactly what they'd leak if they were trying to buy real estate somewhere else.
My theory? We think while we sleep. It's not a "normal" kind of thinking, more free association as your brain wanders around various connections it's made, testing them out. But I also believe we string together larger concepts. We just don't remember it.

When you awaken, your mind has all of those new tentative associations and is ready to try them out by writing them down. As you go through the day, it gets "cluttered" again, going back to using almost extensively older, tried-and-true connections.

Yeah, lack of a sidewalk is asking for trouble.

A comparable bridge in Amsterdam, the Nescio Bridge[1] across a major canal does have a sidewalk. Only at some point the pedestrian and cycle paths split and pedestrians are supposed to take the stairs, but some people still walk on the bike path. I guess the lesson is that you really do need sidewalk everywhere.

How is this different to engineers writing the code for drones that murders children in Yemen? Does anyone have any thoughts on this, or if they see it differently?

What is a government or corporation but a group of individuals? What about the collective behaviors and values? Should we not use our human empathy and evolve them?

I've come to think about it as American imperialist/colonialist/domination thinking. It reminds me of some American's attitudes to non-Americans - the dehumanization used by it's corporate controlled media, e.g. 'terrorist'/'thugs'. Black Mirror has a great episode on dehumanization called 'Men Against Fire', for me the eye lens tech is a metaphor for being in control of the narrative:

Personally, I buy cheap Motorola G4/G5/G6, etc phones. $150 or less, new. They are fast enough, and work well enough for me. And, cheap enough that buying next year's model when it comes out isn't a problem. And no anxiety about dropping it.
>The problem with Proof of Work is that it is too inefficient and not that it consumes too much energy. If bitcoin could do 100k transactions per second globally

The amount of energy mining consumes is not driven by the number of transactions. Decreasing the number of transactions 100% or increasing them 10X doesn't decrease the energy spend 100% nor 10X.
Assuming the study is accurate, can anyone shed insight on the repercussions and ripple effects if so many people default on student loans?
"The ME/PSP are instrumental in the boot process; modern multi-core CPUs are complicated to initialise and these chips generally need substantial initialisation before the main cores are ready to execute instructions. This role is not something put in there gratuitously out of malice to stop people removing it."

Then they need to put something in that does that instead of always-on, networked backdoor you cant disable. There's a huge gap between what you described and what they're doing. They also used to build complex, custom CPU's without it. So, we know it's unnecessary from their prior products.

I'd rather use the space for an extra core, a low-latency GC, TCP/IP offlad, etc. A lot of stuff people or companies might pay for who didnt want or use ME. The enterprises that want ME can buy chips with it.
Yeah, what I was aiming for was anything on the scale from conscientious through to paranoid. If you're "hot" on the issue, rationally or otherwise it could pay off to some extent.

You might say, if it pays off then it's not paranoia -- never cross a road and you can't be run over crossing the road, but I'd still consider it paranoid.

So, yeah, ...
In C, the type of a string literal is

char[n]

where n is the length of the literal plus 1.

In C++, it's "array of n const char", or

const char[n]

It's not of a reference type. See the ISO C++11 standard, 2.4.15 [lex.string].

(In both C and C++, array expressions "decay" to pointer expressions in most contexts. But for example

sizeof "hello"

is 6 (the size of the string), not the size of a char* pointer.
What the purpose of a perimeter rule? Just curious...
Solaris is one of the greatest novels I've ever read. The way the planet behaved felt as palpably real as it was mysterious. It made me feel that it's a good thing that the cosmos is more complicated and can't just be divided into what's known and what's not yet known. Thank goodness for the unknowable.

Intel was also a partner of NSA in Trusted Computing and other alliances. It being optional add-on would make sense for enterprise targeting. It being mandatory in everything with no alternatives makes me think they're getting paid by NSA and/or defense contracts to keep it there. The lesks said they paid $100 million to ISP's for adding taps. No way they'd pass up on Intel/AMD/IBM if they already had a good excuse (i.e. cover) for putting it there.

Voting by mail is fraught with huge problems. Zero proof the person filling it out and mailing it are actually the person they should be. Campaigns often block walk, “helping” people complete their ballots, for example. Also ballots get sent to dead people quite frequently. Voting by mail should only be done for those overseas and hand delivered to a consulate where ID can be verified.

A single person at a polling location committing fraud affects one vote, but a few people committing mail in fraud can affect hundreds or thousands of votes. “Helping” people vote, while not illegal, is definitely ripe for abuse. “Want to keep your social security checks? Here, sign this ballot.”

In person voting with your thumb dipped in dye just like they do in developing countries along with photo ID, along with auditable paper ballots is a sure-fire way to eliminate fraud. Those that oppose this generally are the ones who benefit the most from the current system.

doubtful. the command key does not need to exist. every other operating system gets along fine without it. apple is not even consistent either. as soon as you open up their terminal, you’re stuck in this bizarre land where you have to ctrl+c and cmd+c for different tasks. linux splits paste into either a mouse click or shift+insert to avoid all this.

I love how easy it is to get to National on the Metro. I took public transit to Dulles once, and that was notably less easy.
The killer for me has always been reduction to save points vs arbitrary save times. If you have other responsibilities you often need to just immediately stop what you’re doing, and for a save point style game that means losing progress.

I recognize that arbitrary saves are increasingly difficult, but if an open world game like Skyrim can manage it, so can an FPS.

> Old furniture not being compatible with laptops and charging cables really shows how utility is always the first priority.

Frankly that statement made me cringe. I have a few bureaus like the one in the article at home (my father has a passion for antiques) and the idea of using one of them for writing never crossed anybody's mind. They're obviously not ergonomic, but worse, they might get damaged (you'd rather not lean on the hinged writing surface of a 200 year old piece of furniture, it's not very solid). They're used to keep stuff, either open or closed. Your average papers, mantelpiece objects, assorted stuff, and of course phone and laptops in case of need, fit very well in the drawers and in the top compartment.
Ryzen works great, and will likely improve over time. The Vega GPU that accompanies some models is unsupported, however, if you can get a slightly older AMD card things will be better on the graphics side, but this is only important if you care about some light gaming or desktop frills.

Amazon's big draw for someone currently doing cleared work is being able to ditch the clearance without taking a pay cut or moving. The people who want to work for Amazon and keep the clearance have already made that move.
SF native. Would be happy to see this sort of "tech" start departing. Most of these companies are marketing-driven and provide low or negative social value in the process of moving money from distant lands into their pockets while lobbying the city for "startup" tax breaks. Their disengagement with the community is shown in the guarded policies they adopt. The city is and should not be a giant AirBNB for workers to "frictionlessly" transplant into and out of, but that is an experience I often hear of. San Francisco does, in fact, have children and schools and public institutions that are not Dolores Park. It has an enormous city budget, far more per capita than most of the US. The problem is in the system we've arranged, not how much money flows through it.

There is no arguing that there is a public disturbance problem. But as a group, these folks are not the threatening ones. I would be much more concerned about energetic, apparently normal people who have an objectively criminal business plan: To break into vehicles, commit petty theft, or to perform their own victimization for the purpose of panhandling. These are people who profit off the chaos in small ways, with an immediate impact on public life. People who profit in larger ways run organizations that pump up their reputation but avoid lasting solutions, preserving a status quo of open wounds. The ill folks are screaming, in large part, because the conditions are getting to them, too, and they can't take it anymore.

I welcome companies and entrepreneurs that will struggle with these problems directly, engage with the political landscape and make the calls necessary to build a healthy coalition instead of blustering that someone else should arrange things for their benefit.
I don't remember what we read in university, but here's a short list from the top of my head:

1. Read "Dragon Book" as an easy reading. Nothing from it is going to end up in your programming language, but it puts you on terms with other people.

2. Read on and practice "parsing expression grammars" (also "Computing Patterns in Strings", maybe?)

4. Start learning C++ and Haskell. You won't get enough low-level and high-level programming details anywhere else. Then get into "Design and Evolution" and "History of Haskell", then follow the links. Knowledge of these languages is not enough, you have to know why they were written this way. You should start seeing things around like "hey, η-conversion is broken in Javascript! I cannot pass `parseInt` to `map`, because they both removed requirements on number of arguments and used overloading! What a crap!"

5. Get into type theory. "Types and programming languages" (and "Advanced TaPL") is a nice entry point. From there you can start reading articles.

6. Learn lots of other programming languages, analyze concepts you see there, talk with other programming language theorists, especially when in doubt if something is bad or good. Join "Lambda the Ultimate" or at least read as much as possible on it.

7. Now and only now it's time to publish your first language whitepaper.
Good example.

AFAIK, C++ strings are little more than sequences of char, and string equals compares those sequences. It won’t notice when the two strings happen to be equivalent under some Unicode normalization.
Well, it depends on how you think rights should be granted. I personally don't agree with how rights is handled in a lot of cases, giving a sufficiently powerful entity freedom is equivalent to taking away freedom from every other lesser entity it happens to dislike.

Only an entity with greater authority than yourself can grant you any rights, so what happens when it reaches the point where a company is as influential as a small government? A national government?

I can't help but think, if private equity already controls the industry, that there is ample room for a startup or non profit or even a government owned business to disrupt the industry. Create real secure optical scan voting machines based on the best practices that have been come up with, and with independent audits and sell them with a contract where the machines are updated with security fixes for a fixed period.

Sell the machines a bit like razors, The machines themselves are relatively cheap, but come with a required subscription to the security fixes for the lifetime of the machine.

Racket is too powerful to be used by big corporations. The last thing a company wants is to have their rockstar programmer leave behind a terse, arcane, impenetrable walnut of an application.
