The difference is in scale. English Armies in the 80 Years War rarely got above 10k, and even the largest armies of the Napoleonic Wars would be 200k, and the British maxed out at roughly 100k. The BEF had an average strength of 2 million men, over 5.5 million were part of it at one point or another. Even though overall the British population increased by 4x (~8 million to ~32 million) they are deploying 20x more troops in WW1 than in the Wars of the Revolution. That's the difference between 'nasty to be there' and 'our civilization is a wreck.'

Another reason might be GC. They are probably using Go's GC for Lua. In Rust you would have to also write the GC.
I definitely think this should be opt-in but I also think that it's silly to focus on just this scenario. I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that Google Docs and every other web based business tool use similar telemetry data to guide their UX and product investments as well as to preemptively address bugs.
Correct, they are exactly random inflammatory topics.

So what examples would you suggest?

The examples from the post were:
* Euthanizing disabled babies
* The positive side of colonization
* Choosing ones race like one chooses ones own gender identity

Those also seem to have a political bent.

Also to be clear not advocating for or against any of these ideas, some of them make me VERY uncomfortable even thinking about.

> I think Go Fund Me probably has less outright scams because the whole point is that you are asking for money and giving nothing in return.

Scams offering emotional/spiritual rewards rather than concrete material benefits are common precisely because those duped noticing and having remedy for the deception is far less likely unless someone involved gives the game up.

If I ask $10,000 and offer you a car in return, you’ll notice not getting a car.

If I ask $10,000 and offer to relieve the (fictional) plight of a stranger, you're a lot less likely to notice you've been played.
> There is no point at which people would be doing to both do the labor and others would still buy the resulting product at an increased price.

Exactly! Which means the good or service shouldn't be produced.

> You are dealing in a hypothetical where there aren't market forces at work.

Erm, no. This is what market forces are. Market forces decide what is and what is not produced, via exactly this mechanism. This is the very essence of what a market is.
A pop culture "formula" to tailor a piece of art to suit the tastes of a particular audience is not really an example of actual scientific reductionism though. It could potentially be "scientism" if anyone actually believed it was scientific, but I don't think most would.

A better example of a reduction that relates to music, would be about how you can predict which combinations of notes will sound dissonant by looking at intervals between the frequencies of notes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consonance_and_dissonance ). Yes, it means a lot properties of music can be defined in relatively simple mathematical terms (timing and chord theory being other ways) - but that doesn't mean the interaction between those properties isn't still complex and beautiful. It just gives us more ways to explore that beauty.
I find the premise that different groups should expect the same percentage of interventions highly suspect. Imagine we have a program that distributes seeing eye dogs. This toolkit would discover that sighted persons have a 0% chance of getting a dog, while blind persons have a 50% chance. Oh the injustice!
Letters by Seneca is in the Ancient Roman section if I'm not mistaken.
Getting how the mirror works is different from recognizing the object in the mirror as the image of yourself.

The test has come trouble differentiating between the two.

E.g. the ant might perceive the mirrored marked ant as another ant which would reasonably well fool this test.
That is only to permit writes to complete. The removable media still won't be damaged by unexpected removal because it has been designed to accommodate that. M.2 has no such protections.
I think gofundme would have more scams in that case, since they would be MUCH harder to detect since nothing is promised to 'donors' in return. On kickstarter, you at least have to pretend for a while that you're making progress, and failing to deliver anything at the end makes it even harder for you to do it all over again.
I wonder what sort of VM monitoring will be available. Something that was interesting with HekaD's lua integration was the ability to monitor CPU usage and evict bad actors. Can it see and perhaps even limit?

This was something I was wondering about with Cloudflares isolate implementation as well. I read that in node/v8 you can inspect an isolates CPU usage, but no way to limit it apparently? If you start out with 1/2 of a CPU but your program gets squeezed down to 1/1000 as more isolates are added or existing isolates use more time you could be in for a big surprise as your program no longer performs adequately, perhaps to the point of not functioning properly at all.
Have you tried? I had a tough time buying a used CPAP on eBay. I had a saved search on file for over a year before I was successful. Every listing that came up, eBay would quash because of the prescription requirement. I finally got one that was a buy-it-now where the seller and I managed to consummate the deal within a few minutes of the listing going online, before the eBay secret police could remove it.
Amazing. Microsoft releases an open source implementation of a Lua VM written in Go. I feel like I’m in the twilight zone!
I remember a little site called fuckedcompany.com circa 1999 that was a great dirt rag on businesses in the bay area at the time to know whether or not to go work there. People started disclosing way too much info about companies and people in particular, and lawyers came out with fangs bared. It didn't end well for the people running the site, but it was sad to see go eventually. Now there's glassdoor, a cleaner version it, with less vitriol (unfortunately).
Great!

I am struggling as well with a similar problems and the more I am educated about it the better!
Another team that I know had the same problem, they were refunded apparently without problem. But this strikes me as shady... Are they hoping a significant number of clients will not ask for a refund?
This is extremely rare, way more rare than people who merely think they're fine with much less sleep.

Given you seem to have spent a lot of time thinking about this, perhaps you've already been to a sleep medicine doctor, but if not, you really should. They'll be able to confirm you're one of the rare individuals who actually won't benefit from more sleep.
Having been executive director for a non-profit I founded and ran for three years which had incredible media reach and trended on twitter at least once I can say:

You should treat ALL charities as if they are a scam until proven otherwise. Running a charity and talking to other directors about the rampant fraud perpetrated by and even against some household names is so pervasive you wouldn't believe it. Your next question might be, why isn't it investigated or prosecuted? Simple, optics. Nobody wants the name of their foundation sullied because someone ran a celebrity golf tournament that raised millions but never sent the check.
There are a still a handful of multi-user linux systems out there. Chromium as non-root cannot read the other users files when you log into some evil site that knows of a backdoor. (Assuming no other root backdoor)

There is one other point: if my OS is sound and my user files are corrupted - well at least I can restore my files from backup without first trying to reinstall my machine. It saves a little effort.
Sorry but that isn't remotely the experience I have witnessed. Singapore is about hard cash. Nothing else comes into consideration.
This is true but not as useful an intuition as it first appears. The major difference for satellites is that everything in low-Earth orbit is traveling at ~8 km/s, so the spatial volume they traverse in any amount of time can be surprisingly large. A cubic-meter satellite traverses 250 cubic kilometers of volume in a year. (If you want to get an order-of-magnitude estimate for collision frequency, you imagine one satellite occupies it's normal volume and the other occupies the traversal volume, and then just ask what the chance is that those volumes overlap, given the amount of space above the Earth within the altitude range of the orbits.)

And indeed, there has already been an accidental satellite-satellite collision (not just satellite-debris collision).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_satellite_collision

The Iridium constellation has about ~80 satellites, and one passes within 5km of another satellite about 50 times/day.
> I was trying to tell you that most small businesses can't go around spending hundreds of bucks of things that provide little value

And I'm telling you that if you built your business on top of GCP, a support contract is probably not "low value". You'd happily pay $200 for support on your critical infrastructure, just as you'd happily pay $200 for a repairman to fix your washing machine if you owned a laundromat.

If you don't need support, then sure, don't pay for the plan. If you do need support, $200 seems pretty reasonable.

> Speaking about about false equivalencies...

Signing up for a monthly recurring support plan in case you need it is literally insuring your business.

> For instance you may say "I can't afford to go to this restaurant", even though you'd have enough money to do it without going immediately bankrupt. But it'd be a bad decision, too many of which quickly add up.

A support plan for your critical infrastructure probably isn't "useless". Which is the point. If your need for support is that low, then either you've built your own redundant systems to protect you or more likely you aren't running a real business.
The problem though is also the complexity. If I want to actually make my product better by knowing if my product crashes in the wild, then it is far more complex to do now in the EU. And in particular the potential risk is huge. For many companies who aren't at the scale of a Google or Microsoft, the best solution is to simply not be available in EU -- at least until you reach such a scale that growth into the EU is required.
Yeah but can't we have both?

If you already have projects in go then a rust project will not be of any use, and vice versa...
> Is it that they have more depth in their mechanics?

I think it might be related with it. I like that old games are more a 'game' and not some kind of virtual reality. E.g. Chess is an abstraction of a battle at most, not a copy of it and Physics don't need to be always realistic just because we have more capable hardware.
Everything I found was either a PDF file (common use case when you'd want the bucket to be public) or an html file in a bucket-hosted website (another use case where public is the correct behavior)
True, but at a cost. As far as I can tell, C++ programmers have stopped caring about the cost of copying objects at every function/method boundary, every time containers are used (which is a lot), in lambdas, etc. Memory safety is easy that way. Yes, some modern C++ code is very careful about this stuff, but the common idioms all seem to be pulling in the opposite direction.

I still think there's room for a system language that manages to be memory-safe without all the cruft (std::move my ass) and inefficiency. Is Rust that language? Not really sure. D and Zig and even Nim all seem closer to my own ideal, but they don't have anywhere near the mindshare.
On Kickstarter, I'd expect more accountability given that people will either receive their rewards or not receive them. This is quite a bit easier to measure than funds going into a pot to "help" someone.

My point: I think it's easier to identify outright scams on Kickstarter than on GoFundMe. I don't necessarily know what site is more vulnerable to scams.
So enriched uranium or plutonium on hand? Because it would take time to build all that infrastructure; my understanding at least.
I'm not talking about the article I'm talking about the context.
It's been Brexshit from the outset.

I can't understand why the people that voted for it want anything other than a complete break from Europe, and that some are seemingly unaware of exactly what that entails.

I live in hope that these last two years will cut to a shower scene, and the UK will wake up thinking, "Jesus! That was a mental dream!", but I'm pessimistic and fully expect No Deal.
Don't ALL web/internet based products have to collect some base level telemetry to simply function?
Depending on where your original bucket is hosted, it is very possible that CloudFront ends up costing more in data transfer.

For instance, a us-east-1 bucket has a data transfer rate to the internet starting at $0.09/GB. That's flat, regardless of where the requester is located.

On the other hand, while US- and Europe-based transfer pricing is cheaper in CloudFront (starting at $0.085/GB), all the other regions are more expensive... for example, South America starts at $0.25/GB (!).

Of course the reverse is true: a bucket originally hosted in South America would probably do well to enable CloudFront, as requests from every other region become cheaper...

And yet another wrinkle, I think CloudFront always is cheaper than S3 eventually (with enough data usage). So for very large customers, maybe it is true that CloudFront will always be cheaper. Clear as mud.
By our definition, instinct is something automatic and available without training. Humans and at least some apes are known to exhibit an empathy instinct, potentially tied to presence of specialized mirror neuron networks and surrounding neural architecture.
Even small children down to potentially neonates have it.

Contrast to something that is higher level, like the ability to recognize a reflection in the mirror as yourself, which requires inference most likely, but part of it might operate as an instinct while another may be learned. (So it makes sense that it is appearing quite late in primate life.)

Forming language might be an instinct, recognizing patterns, many kinds of learning.

I wouldn't be so sure. Especially given how recently we've had the technology to find and analyse these things.
Idiomatic Go code tries to use cgo sparingly, if at all. And the Lua embedding API makes calls into C with a very high frequency. I haven't tried, but I suspect that the combination of these two factors would make embedding a Lua engine written in C (or, say, in Rust with a C ABI) into a Go program disastrous for the performance of Go's green threading runtime.

Alternatively, while it would be nice to have a Lua engine entirely in Rust, Rust goes to great lengths to make calling into C have no runtime cost, so you generally just see people writing Rust wrappers over the C API, which tend to impose varying degrees of additional safety on top (Lua internally does a ton of setjmp/longjmp, among other things, so it's not easy). A good example of "wrap and add safety" is Chucklefish's wrapper, being used for their game Witchbrook: https://github.com/kyren/rlua
I think you got it backwards. Go is good for toy-interpreters, compilers, programming languages in general. Pretty bad for distributed computing though, Rust is definitely better for that use case if your only choices are Rust and Go.
Given you are trolling, I think it highly unlikely I or anyone else should believe you.
You just said that these “ideas” are mainstream but you admit your interpretation of them is controversial. I agree that interpreting contraception and abortion as genocide is controversial. I don’t think even the Catholic Church thinks that.
This is where I have actually come to appreciate SELinux. A newer dev comes along and makes a folder in the document root to 777 thinking that will solve their problems. SELinux still needs to explicitly allow that folder to be writable. That slows them down long enough to come find me, and then we get to have the proper conversation about what needs to happen. A folder in the document root with 777 scares the crap out of me
Yup, SAT can be taken preparation-less, because it is relatively devoid of subject matter content. It is approximately an IQ test. Since Korean SAT is intended to test subject matter content understanding, it doesn't work that way.

Interestingly, Korean public service exam is very similar to SAT in that it can be taken preparation-less (in fact, preparation-less-ness is an explicit design goal of the test) and similarly devoid of subject matter content.

Source: I took both Korean SAT and Korean public service exam.
The why not Rust is a valid question. It's because this was put together with an intent of being embedded in an application written in Go (https://helm.sh).

I'm a Helm maintainer so I'm familiar with the history of how this came to be.
Sorry, but does sound a bit elitist. Coding has become a somewhat skill set among some blue-collar workers, and have seen some good stuff come from electricians, plumbers, and mechanics.

I know many civil, mechanical, chemical, and electrical engineers that write good code to solve important problems. I know few programmers that know anything about circuit design, plumbing, carpentry, etc. But do believe that the programmers that frequent HN are probably more apt to be multi-skilled and a more renaissance-type of person.
That book is about the application of eugenic policies to spread the nordic race, which the author alleges is superior to other races. I agree that it is pseudoscientific in regard to its theories of racial superiority, but it does not refute the validity of eugenics as a scientific practice.

In fact, you may not realize it, but most western countries already implement eugenic policies. For instance, in my country, most fetuses which are identified as suffering from Down syndrome are aborted, and that practice is encouraged by doctors. This has led to a significant decrease in the number of people affected with that condition. You may not think of it this way, but that is a form of eugenics.
>I won't stand for opt-out credit card renewals on magazines

You are entirely morally justified in this, and even though a lot of consumer facing businesses find actual checks themselves troublesome at scale that's not excuse not to offer one-time CC transactions at least (and preferably a full range of e-payment methods). FWIW though there is a sort of hack a lot of cards offer that can be helpful for this sort of service (at least when you find it too important to be practical to just write off): virtual card numbers. They go under different branding at different places, Bank of America for example calls it "Shop Safe" or something like that IIRC. Effectively though you access the card provider's tool, put in a balance and expiration date, and it then generates a credit card number (including 'security code') that has that expiration and balance, and of course can be trivially cancelled at will. You can use it anywhere any other credit card would work. That allows creating a maximum budget payment upfront that you can then entirely forget about, it won't auto-rollover, and it can never be charged more then the balance set. I think the way most (all?) places have it set up the VCC also binds on first use, so even if it was leaked it can't be utilized anywhere else.

It's a useful tool for this sort of situation since it puts the buyer back in the driver's seat. Rather then having to fight to cancel something, it's up to them to get more money out of you since they don't actually have a real card. Can also be handy for buying online from places you're not 100% confident in, you can set a balance at just the price and at least know your loss is limited there. Regrettably I don't know of any places that make this nearly as central and easy a feature as it should be, and not all banks offer it, but it comes in handy sometimes anyway.
There are a couple other Lua implementations in Go that exist for a few years though...
Alex Stamos (former Chief Security Officer @ FB) recently released a series of tweets in response to the NYT article

"They do this with motor assemblies too. Its not uncommon to see working sets of motors in japanese cars that are 30 years old where window motors and such would easily have failed in american sedans. potted, brushed high quality motors were a fixture on practically every japanese sedan in the 90s for even boring stuff like mirror adjustment."

I think a lot of that "over-engineering" gradually went away towards the 90s and beyond, as cost concerns and other aspects started to bite in. Plus, they also understood that people started to change cars more often than before, so why engineer something for such a long duration? A lot of that initial over-engineering was also because of the pressure on Japanese brands to try and establish themselves in markets like the U.S. and Europe, where there was a general feeling that these "puny" Japanese cars might not last long. In terms of over-engineering (I know, keep using this term), the true pinnacle for me was the first gen Lexus LS400 designed to compete with the Mercedes S-class. Now, that was something else.

Funnily enough, they have started lagging U.S. and European companies after the mid-2000s in terms of vehicle technologies like advanced transmissions, wider adoption of turbocharged engines, infotainment etc.
