True. And since the original author's copy[0] openly invites mirrors (and is no longer maintained, since the author has died), it's fine for them to rehost it. I just found their website somewhat odd.

So basically they screw you over on either medium or hard, and according to you the real problem is them not telling us clearly whether or not we receive the medium or hard screw over option.

By the way that GCP is so full of loopholes where Google can get out of its obligations its laughable. So it's not even that clear cut that the GCP is really a better alternative.

And even when it turns out to be legally sound, when stuff like this happens, who's going to sue google over it? Nobody, and they know it.
The way I've always described OCD, and this is probably particularly relevant to a Hacker News audience, is that it's like two processes running. There's your normal thought process, and then there's the OCD through process. You completely recognise it as being irrational and ridiculous, yet it often wins and never goes away. It's exhausting.

The investment would be quite steep for a farmer that has already taken large loans in order to fund tractors. Many farmers simply don't have the margins. Some still drive around with 40 year-old machinery because buying modern equipment is too expensive.

I don't _like_ the proposed idea of farming as a service, but the fact is that I think it's one of the few ways we have to modernize small-scale farms in the less developed parts of the Western World.

Principles rarely come for free, and I accept plenty of usable alternatives that don't suffer from the limitations of Whatsapp — it's not like I'm shunning the internet, computers, or even electricity. If people don't feel like including me is worth the effort because they are stuck in a walled garden, then good riddance. No one around me feels like that though. They readily accept that expecting everyone to buy either an Android or an IOS smartphone on top of any other computing devices they may own is not reasonable.

We peasants have been consistently pushing back against unfettered capitalism for hundreds of years. If our efforts are eroded too much we may not enjoy such quality of life much longer.

Non compete contracts and non poaching agreements are insidious and should be illegal. Ilegal, not just unenforceable.

But, among the many imbalances between employees and employers... few are as easy to fix. A major imbalance is information.

One radical idea is salary transparency. It would be an emotionally difficult transition, but I think the effect on salaries would be transformational.

Information is, a big part of what markets are. If you are negotiating salary armed with the same information your counterpart has, you are in a much better situation. At the very least, it would help those people who are the worst at negotiating and have an employer that will take advantage of this.

Eliminate anti competition agreements, in a year you may find a measurable marginal effect. Publish all salaries and the effects will be everywhere.
Kudos for your realism.

It has always struck me as weird that the moment a nation enjoys some stability and prosperity, it immediately decides to throw them away for ever-growing expansionistic ambitions.

I mean I get it, we as humans can never get enough -- I've witnessed that in many people, myself included.

It's just so very sad to observe historically. It seems that if somebody sees they can get away with X, they immediately jump to doing something 10*X.

Ironically, this is the exact scheme through which many criminals have been caught -- they admitted they felt a thrill because they have not been caught, and wanted to up the risk. (The police would have never caught them if they haven't did that as well.) I don't believe the same exact phenomena is involved with nations but if you squint your eyes really hard then it does look very similar.
No offence but this is hilariously stupid.

All you're doing is following the same blackhat strategy that has been tried and prevented years ago. You know the one where you keep flagging your competitor's ads as abusive in the hope of getting them taken down. It's basically the same as click fraud.

In your case it's even more stupid since I assume you're doing so with a logged in account and without using proxy services so your IP will be static.

I guarantee that your reports has changed nothing other than make it more likely that your account is going to banned for abusing their terms of service.

This won't fly because:

* You can't put it in your resume. And that is importante because many academics need a minimal amount of publication each year. Perhaps someone with a tenure can have the luxury of a hidden article, but most of them have some graduate student or postdoc that is a coauthor and wants to increase the total count of papers by any mean.

* If the article is controversial enough, the authors will be identified using a text analysis. Most papers reuse a lot of parts of the previous papers of the authors, so it is not so difficult.

* Each controversial article will get the offended side (right/left/whatever) asking for an exemption of the anonymity and/xor deplataforming the journal.

Great article - I’m fascinated by pollution for some reason.

I recently spent time living near Los Alamos, NM. The physicists and nuclear chemists surely outdid WW1 in their legacy of environmental devastation. Check out Acid Canyon, a popular recreation area in the middle of Los Alamos. If I recall, they opened this place to the public for recreation in 1962, then a few years later barrels containing plutonium waste surfaced after a heavy rain. Then they opened it again.

http://projects.wsj.com/waste-lands/site/4-acid-pueblo-canyo...

http://www.nuclearactive.org/docs/doublestandard.html

http://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/los-alamos-...

I guess at some point they stopped dumping untreated liquid plutonium waste there. That was a good move. The wastewater facility for the entire Natl Lab for decades that processed all of the toxic chemical, metal and nuclear waste discharged the water untreated until the 60s. There are dozens of uninventoried dump sites and things like full closets in basements with uranium that nobody has looked at in a couple decades. Oh, and people who work there suggested to me that all the public info made available is falsified for one reason or another.

DP Rd and TA-21, site of first plutonium machining facility, and the wastewater ‘treatment’ (meaning untreated discharge) facility, is another interesting one. They’re currently environmentally remediating the area for homes.

But people with agendas lying on their blogs or youtube isn't truth. Pretending carnivores are omnivores and then saying "look we're not like omnivores" is just deliberate dishonesty. We are not like carnivores. We are, 100% without any question, omnivores. Read literally any text on mammology, there is no debate, no controversy, no ambiguity.

The Amazing Story of Cryptocurrencies Before Bitcoin
The problem here is information asymmetry.

It's hard for employees to know how valuable it is for them to sign a non-compete. It's hard for companies to advertise their desirability based on, "those other guys will make you sign a non-compete. We won't." So it becomes low cost for people to ask for it.

In the current environment, non-competes should be banned: California proves this is a viable approach. But perhaps a better long term solution that seems within technical reach right now would be some kind of AI legal assistant that could demystify and educate people about the contacts they're asked to sign.

Like imagine if you had a smartphone app. You scanned the contract with your camera and the app said, "This is a non-compete agreement. 60% of the companies in this field use them. Best estimate is that signing it costs you $30k in lifetime earnings."

Then a job seeker could just negotiate to their own best interest.

Either the issue is too technical for the electorate, and you don't hold a referendum in the first place, or it's not, and you do, and then you live with the results. What you don't do is try to cancel the referendum if you don't agree with the outcome. That's disingenuous.

And yes, this is Hacker News, but no, I don't think politics can be reduced to technical issues. I'm not British and I don't have an axe to grind regarding Brexit. But it seems reasonable to frame the issue in terms of taking a cut in GDP in order to protect national sovereignty. Which goes to show that the issue goes well beyond economics.

It's interesting that the author sees helpers and abstractions as being uniformly opposed to simplicity. If that's the case, why use helpers or abstractions in our production code either? Why not apply the author's advice in production code as well?

Badly designed helpers and abstractions are certainly ... bad. But well designed helpers and abstractions make the code much simpler to read, understand and maintain. That's their entire purpose.

There's certainly a lot of badly designed abstractions out there. If you come across one that makes the code harder to understand and maintain, you should certainly get rid of it and inline it instead. Regardless of whether it's production or test code. The flip side of this is that if you see an opportunity for abstractions that make the code easier to understand and maintain, you should certainly use it, even in test code.
Regarding the strained metaphor, the "virtual machine" is metaphorical, and it can be simply ignored because any possible implementation of a NFA is actually a DFA.
Proof: a finite amount of memory can be considered a DFA state and modifying that memory between consuming successive input symbols can be considered updating the state.

I don't agree with the OPs off-hand dismissal of capitalism either but...

I think this trope is misused. Peasants are better off and the world is wealthier because of science, not a political ideology. The industrial revolution, scientific medicine, the green revolution...

Saudi Arabia's "peasants" (or descendants of herdsmen, properly) are wealthier because of oil mining and modern energy industry, not monarchy or capitalism or whoever else wants to take credit.

I'm not saying politics doesn't effect anything, it obviously does but capitalism can't just claim credit for everything invented in the last 200.

Btw, this is exactly what Lenin did and what Orwell parodied in 1984.

I'm not saying you can't argue that capitalism benefited the poor, but you can't just claim everything good that happened after 1800 for capitalism.
Well, you could simply not use these in a self-driving vehicle.
Nope, I'm pretty sure it's not wrong. I believe ϵ is the multiplicative identity ("1") here. Note that ϵ is the empty string, and concatenating it with anything results in the same thing, so Aϵ = A. Hence we have Aϵ - Aa = A(ϵ - a) = ϵ.
> At the very least it would have been nice if, in addition to graphs for the entire EU, there were graphs for the UK alone, and also for the EU without the UK.

That would seem to require that the Crunchbase dataset referenced in the paper (but not discussed in terms of its content or format) was broken down in terms of specific businesses and their host country.

The actual effects of the UK's exit are not yet known (the post-Brexit UK might even grandfather in some EU law like GDPR), and the article [0] mentioned in the other HN story (your ref 1) is not definitive, e.g. for Pfizer it says: "Pfizer’s preparations are well advanced to make the changes necessary to meet EU legal requirements after the U.K. is no longer a member state, especially in the regulatory, manufacturing and supply chain areas". To me this isn't a basis for inferring what Pfizer will do with respect to GDPR

> The wealthy reap mnore and more of the benefits of the economy than the average person, in ever increasing measures.

The success of some does not mean that others have been defeated, or forced into a position where they are worse than before.

This fallacy is often repeated by people obsessed with egalitarian views, where they consider any difference in access to resources (even those which have been earned through hard work and not squandered away) as being somehow a major injustice.

Yet, just because some multimilionaire wastes wads of cash in conspicuous consumption that doesn't mean that societies based on capitalism don't enjoy humanity's highest quality of life and access to goods and services, to the point that some are even considered by "the people" as being infinite and a god-given right.
