But it’s not anymore. For all we know it was just a single early downvote, but your comment criticised the whole community. The guidelines ask us not to make comments about downvoting, as they make for boring, shitty discussions like this, and because a downvoted state on a comment is often temporary, whereas a discussion about it is permanent.
Oh it will be supported. But it will be a dead platform like Cobol where no one wants to put new code to. With a bit of luck they will continue to support the latest C# for a while.
Now give a full mathematically rigorous explanation of consciousness.

It doesn't matter what the data says, the feeling that our society is crumbling is palpable, and that is what drives this overwork. People my age (40s) and younger do not believe that our institutions will be able to support us in our old age and retirement. We do not even believe that the earth's ecosystems will be able to support us (as a group) then. In 30 years, we as individuals better have resources accumulated to support ourselves, or we will be unable to afford basics like healthcare, shelter, and even food.

For that matter, many of my non-tech friends (in their 40s) are already only one health crisis away from being homeless. I only have two couches and they all can't stay with me. I am doing relatively well and even I feel the pressure to overwork and "make hay while the sun shines", so maybe I can help support them when they need it.
Well, why should we go to Mars?

We have a fully functional survival machine down here on earth that we don’t seem capable of properly maintaining. Why would we do a better job inventing and maintaining an artificial survival machine from nothing on Mars?

UWP is built from .NET Core
This is not a dumb question. The relationship was derived by some of physics' best minds in the early 20th century and requires an understanding of other physical principles and calculus to explain.

I can't think of a concise/non-technical explanation. This Feynman lecture is about as close as you'll get:
http://www.feynmanlectures.caltech.edu/I_15.html
I've read it, and I tend to think the position it argues for is likely correct, but for complex systems that we don't have models for, the only basis we have for believing it is that we have enough holes in our knowledge of how things interact that it is possible that no esoteric physics play a role and so assuming that they do not is the simplest plausible assumption. There is a good reason for that to be a working assumption.

Until we can work out all the relevant implications of mundane physics and either find them adequate or not to model he phenomena of concern, we can't say that the physics of those phenomena are known (or say that they aren't; we’re in the realm of potential unknown unknowns.)
Optimization is not just about reaching optimal state - which for all practical problems is impossible, given both the constraints of physical reality and the fuzzy definition of optimum humans can conceptualize. Optimization is a process of determining what the optimum is and moving the system towards that point.

Are you referring to UHT (shelf-stable) vs. "normal" pasteurization? Both types are available in the US and Europe but probably to different degrees. In southern Europe I definitely encountered more UHT than in my native Germany.
If you think this is bad writing (because it doesn't make a productive use of audience time), the article has a piece of advice for you, "Put away your self-help guides, and read a novel instead."

Like a novel, the reading of an article is meant to be an experience. It follows the "show, don't tell" dictum pretty well. The critique of perfectionism hits at you viscerally, instead of being an academic argument. That good writing necessarily requires a more productive use of audience's time (or follows some economics of the form of insights communicated/time spent), is the optimizing/perfectionist thinking that Ms. Schwartz has taken aim at in her content. So the form follows content in a way. The writer feels that in today's self-improvement culture, we do not appreciate something for its own sake. For example, when we read, we think of "what is it saying? Why does it not say it quickly?", rather than imagining possibilities, chewing on the words of a sentence, or relish the turn of phrases, or appreciating the metaphors employed to communicate a feeling.

You do seem to be right in suspecting that you are wrong about the article. Her concluding paragraph, for example, states that the one should be able to enjoy experiences for their sake alone, rather than the sake of self-improvement. "Things don’t need to be of concrete use in order to have value." This is contrary to the assumptions shared by the two self-help books you allude to: The Shallows and Deep Work. These argue for disconneting FOR the sake of having some value in the dimension of self improvement: for being able to improve the quality of your work (Deep Work), or increasing reading comprehension, e.g. (The Shallows).
That's definitely true, though you can simplify matters by saying "I'm always going to try to have passwords that are safe against offline attacks".
Hmm. Yes you right about the sequels. However "The magician of Emerald City" is very close to the original. Anyway my original claim holds - the children's literature of the USSR was very international and mostly free of ideology. There might have been a reason for retelling the Wizard of Oz - Baum had bad reputation as a racist AFAIK, and probably the Soviet government did not want to look bad leaving his name on the book's cover.

I've seen the MIT lecture that presented this. Here are the main hurdles:

2) Not enough FLiBe fluid (Low-Z fluid) on the planet for the reaction chamber. Would need large scale manufacturing.

The ACLU defended the Nazis in Skokie because they were denied permission to march on public streets. They were right to do so. But, contrary to a widely-held belief on HN, "popular" private property in the US is not generally required to be available for protest, let alone for someone to set up their own shop peddling their messages.

Gab's complaint isn't that they're being "denied a platform" --- though that's one of several falsehoods they're surely like you to believe. It's that they're being denied access to the most convenient and cost-effective platforms. Essentially, they're demanding FRAND access to cloud providers for white supremacist Twitter. And FRAND isn't the default anywhere in commerce, let alone for white supremacists.

Someone was always going to take Gab's money. Even Stormfront, which is simply Gab without the pretend rules about harassment, is still up and running. As well, it was always going to come out which providers are willing to take Gab's money, and we'll see what impact that has on them in the market, when other people exercise their freedom of speech and association and refuse to do business with those providers.
I work on a Google Test-like unit testing framework called DeepState [1] that gives you access to fuzzing and symbolic execution from your C or C++ unit tests. We have a tutorial [2] describing how to use it. It's new and still under development, but shows massive potential, and really brings these software security tools into a more developer-centric workflow.

Are there regulations in any industry which require the name of software authors on binaries/products, or at least the name of someone who approved the security claims made by the device?
RPKI doesn't stop BGP hijacks.

Sure, it's better than nothing but RPKI doesn't validate the entire path, only the origin.

If you want path validation, you need BGPSec. But BGPSec is basically un-deployable in real-world networks.

AI agent pilot launched to expose liars at EU borders
The whole "HQ2" festival was dubious from the start, especially in light of this announcement.

Other similar companies - e.g. practically all FAANGS - just have one large HQ, and several smaller offices in various locations to tap into local talent.

How is Amazon exceptional such that it needs this special "HQ2" office?

This never made much sense for them... Except as a big PR fanfare to drum up huge benefit packages from cities on their various long/short candidate lists.

So now they cut the prospective office sizes in half. Will the benefit packages be cut in half? Probably not.

Fusion is a well known phenomena.

That’s basically PGP.
If fusion were treated on an equal footing with other endeavors it would get almost no funding, because examined without sunk cost thinking it isn't at all promising as an energy source.

Or it means accepting that your prover will need occasional hints from a human expert. I think this will always be true, when we're doing software verification. Another way to look at the problem, then, is: how do we reduce the need for manual intervention to a minimum?
Trello can have checkboxes on the cards (like for subtasks), but in the overview it summarizes them like "2/5 checked". It would be nice if it listed the whole checklist at least for short lists.

A recycling expert on Apple's “100% recycled aluminum” Mac enclosures
I think it would be more strange if our elections were not hacked--given how lax our election security is, plus how much there is for nefarious actors to gain. Maybe not hacked to the point of outright ballot stuffing, certainly not 100% of polling places are hacked, but I think contemporary election rigging is a more subtle, multi-pronged effort. The baffling way we've structured our elections makes it so only a few key areas need to be the focus of effort for attackers. We've really made it easy for them.

In any case, the likelihood that our democracy is intact and working as intended is virtually zero. There's obviously social engineering in play, if you count that as hacking. I think it counts; it's a way for a small minority to steer democracy in a way contrary to the legitimate wishes of the populace. Combined with other shady techniques, no single cause is enough to say for sure our elections are stolen. But all together I think it qualifies as rigged.

Go vote anyway, though. At least make it more difficult to spoof by increasing legit turnout. I really hope we have good participation this year.
A wonderful thought, but the size of the military budget is a feature, not a bug, for those who allocate it.
I feel like you're making two different points:

1: That our goals are unrealistic and therefore lead to less 'good' (in the utilitarian sense)

2: Progress without happiness isn't 'good', since we all will die

To the first point, part of striving for perfection is realizing that we are biological creatures, not robots. To be the perfect version of ourselves is to accept that we cannot stay awake in a lab forever, that we need to eat, sleep, and enjoy ourselves in order to be the most productive version of ourselves. Death camp laborers are noticeably less productive than free laborers.

To the second point, I'd ask "What's the point of happiness if we will all eventually be eradicated, regardless?). Humanity, in our current state, cannot last forever. Whether we die from global warming as you presume, nuclear armageddon as others do, or the heat death of the universe, we will all eventually die so long as we are stuck in this universe, and at the point that we all die and all encoded information is lost, it doesn't matter if we were happy or sad.

I feel like our best and only bet at living past the universe is to be as productive as possible, create as much technical knowledge as possible, and see if we can eventually live past what seems to be certain extinction, and to do that requires striving for perfection.
I’ve lived through four or five recessions and there’s no indication this is any sort of anomaly. It’s more like saying that a hurricane is going to hit Florida. Predicting exactly when and how is nearly impossible, but we can say with almost complete certainty that it’s going to happen within a few years.
That would literally be a religious argument, so I won't name examples, but many religious beliefs can either be tested empirically, have implications that can be tested empirically. If the religion exists in a social or organizational context where there are obvious vested worldly interests for the leaders of an organization to further certain beliefs (money, power, etc.) and those beliefs are designed to further those worldly interests, that would be a signal of improbability as well. Furthermore, for two sets of religious beliefs that share the same base texts and doctrines, the theological and exegetical doctrines can be judged on their own logic and decide between the two.

To put it bluntly (and give a contrived, fictitious example), a religion that believes in a flat earth that rests on the back of a unicorn that was created by a committee of gods 34 months ago (complete with false evidence and memories of what happened before) based on an idiosyncratic interpretation of the New Testament that demands that you give 75% of your money to The Glorious Spiritual Leader and then have sex with him, would be particularly improbable compared to almost any other religion.
I agree. With everything. However, a not evolving platform is a dead platform. New code should not target this platform. Even for Enterprise environments it not a joy to see the world evolve while you are stuck with a toolset a decade old. It is already now painful to see the difference in tooling between Core and Framework.

> They seem like a danger to our capitalistic system as they have enough power to sway politics.

Business owners using their power to sway government is the foundation and backbone of capitalism, historically (sure, it may violate post hoc rationalizations of capitalism, but those have little to do with capitalism as it has existed in the real world anyway.)
Look carefully, especially if you live near an Alpha or Beta level global city NYC, LA, SF, Chicago, DC, Miami in the United States. FlightAware took out the wealthy's private planes from their database at their request. There's lodes of exceptions to tracking if you are monied.

What we need is more people running things like RTL-SDRs to acquire data the rich and powerful want hidden to avoid exposure for shady activities.

Cavium (now under Marvell) and Ampere both did. Huawei/HiSilicon are also apparently coming.

(Also Qualcomm, but they quit for mysterious reasons. "Want to focus on mobile" or something.)

But these are all very high end solutions. For the low end, there's Marvell's Armada8k (MACCHIATObin)… and kind of an empty void in the middle :(
That plot appears to show a 20-year-long bull market from 1980 to 2000, so with that precedent set, who's to say we aren't only half-way through the current bull run? (I don't actually have a strong view one way or the other; my point is just that it's hard to conclude anything by reading an S&P 500 price chart by itself.)

I wish there had been less focus on the alleged sexual assault and more focus on the fact that Kavanaugh doesn't understand the constitution (or just ignores it) and supported the Bush administration in defending torture.

Keep in mind statements like this are very double edged. Hosting providers are already denying the ability for people to even host platforms. Platforms are de-platforming people (and not all of them are hate groups. Just check out Carey Wedler's ban from Twitter). It's not a huge stretch to then say, ISPs should be allowed to regulate what content flows through their servers.

I can't seem to find it, but isn't there another case coming up to the Supreme Court soon over just this issue? You can't deny service to someone due to their race. I really feel like we're getting to the point where that really needs to apply to speech.

> However, without an instrument that could actually measure this quantity, any governance structure based on your framework would be at the mercy of . . .

All systems -- government, financial, computer -- are social systems, in that they're built with human beings as the foundation, and not the other way around.

Because humans are subjective, squishy, and imprecise, it follows naturally and unavoidably that systems built on top of us need to accommodate those properties as invariants. They should not (because they can not) presume their foundation as some kind of objective, fixed, precise spherical cow of uniform density.

Yes, measurement of suffering is subjective. No, that's not a reason to avoid doing it. It's precisely that subjectivity which makes the systems built on top of it sound.
Sure it is but why not use that code to let .Net Core support WinForms on Linux the way it is going to support it on Windows?

I'm about to turn 33 and only within the last year have I really discovered the joy of reading books. I went from reading maybe 1 or 2 books a year to reading a book a week, and I'm on track to read close to 50 books this year (slowed down quite a bit by reading a textbook as part of auditing a class).

If only I had discovered this earlier in my life who knows where I'd be now, but better late than never I suppose.
