I don't think anyone would expect different behavior out of end users. But the "instant gratification" a malicious actor is seeking by asking to "maintain a package" will be delayed substantially. In fact, if you are straight up with folks telling them that you don't personally know who is now maintaining the fork, folks who do decide to trust them will know to proceed with caution and will probably watch the PRs on the repo for a period of time. So, technically not only are we delaying instant gratification of being given access to probably millions of "hits", we're forcing the malicious actor to actually maintain the package and gain the trust of the community independently before they can wreak havoc.

Then over time if it's an important enough package there will probably be discussions or blog posts about the new maintainer and what a "fantastic" or "terrible" job they're now doing.

The fact that you are not in NIMBY is possible, your arguments, albeit debatable (no insurance company offers any policy related to large-scale nuke risk), are acceptable, but nonetheless you sit in a tiny minority thinking this way. AFAIK everywhere the majority is stuck in NIMBY mode.
Performance, latency variability and sanity. It’s somewhat easier to write applications without having to make a syscall, which may have unknown latency (even if it’s a non blocking poll).
Ask HN: Books for Christmas

A combination of the company you keep and the security of the quality of life you and they have. Can your wife afford to stay at home if she wants to? Can you work from home if need be? Do you need to budget when you go on vacation? Do you need to budget when you go out in town with your friends/family? If an emergency happens, how fragile is your support system? Which school system (zip code) can you afford? Do you have to work on weekends or overnights?

Household income and profession is probably the easiest way to numerically define it.

But I think (in the US) there are two distinct classes being formed, one that is and feels secure in their future due to having a well funded 401k or defined benefit pension, careers at large and prestigious companies with friends also at other large and prestigious companies (who can help you get work if need be), paid leave of various kinds, access to the better schools and health systems etc.

The other class will be those that are setback forever by 1 medical emergency or mistake, have jobs instead of careers, who aren’t really able to plan for the future because they’re skating by and hoping it all works out and they can keep making their debt payments.
I spend most of my time in Germany; hence my unfamiliarity with this idea.

> ensuring jurors are free of bias or prejudice

This looks like a futile undertaking. A person using a language, behaving in the context of time and culture is breathing bias in every action they perform.

But - with my very limited knowledge about jury trials - I would assume that objective judgement is precisely not the intent of using a jury. Here's what I read about it on Wikipedia:

> [...] it provides a means of interjecting community norms and values into judicial proceedings [...]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jury_trial#Pros_and_cons

Apart from that, you seem to make it sound as if news coverage would have a negative impact on decision making, which I believe is pretty controversial.

> everyone would be made to feel like they have to have an opinion on the topic

Participation in the latest media outrage is a choice, it is not mandatory. Many people exercise the concept of picking their own interests, views and arguments just fine.

I can see, however, how such mechanistic ideas about the effects of content make concepts around censorship plausible beyond what I anticipated.
Corporate Giants are a symptom of the symbiosis of corporations & governments. Governments prefer centralization because it's easier to manage centralized entities. Government investment into an industry tends to tilt it toward a monopoly.
I don't think an explicit trading scheme is required.

Each country needs to put a price on carbon, taxing fossil fuels at the point where they enter the national economy (mine, refinery, port, whatever). They also need to put a price on imports that embody carbon emissions (especially steel, cement,...). But if the origin country has already imposed a fee on the emissions, the fee imposed on import can be waived.

If a few large countries adopt such a policy, the rest of the world will be incentivised to follow suit, and we'll get a global price on carbon emissions.

There's such a bill in the US Congress right now, though one whose chances are abyssmal under the current administration.

By income, I'd guess research assistants, teaching assistants, and college assistants are working class.

You can declare a PhD candidate's "tuition" is ten million dollars a year and then "pay" the worker $10M in tuition credits + $20k living expenses but we all know the actual pay is $20k a year.
QKD doesn't actually help with initial key distribution and you wouldn't use it for that anyway, so you are arguing against a straw man.

What it does is let you expand your pre-existing shared keys in a provably secure manner. And it might be easy if you use satellites, like the Chinese are doing.
You would still have to pay taxes. Presumably, in money.
Tim Berners-Lee developed HTTP (and the underlying idea of "hypertext" made of interlinked documents) to support scientific collaboration at CERN.

I'm not aware of any technological advances produced by the measurements at the LHC, but it has been running for barely 10 years. On the other hand, building the thing probably required significant innovations in magnets and sensors.
The motivating benefit is performance, but a side one the author mentioned on Twitter https://twitter.com/axboe/status/1073320502532263936 is sidestepping Meltdown and similar vulnerabilities from having the kernel and the OS in the same address space (even though they're separated by a privilege boundary). In a scheme like this, you can theoretically dedicate one core to the application and a separate one to the kernel, and minimize speculation, cache sharing, etc. between the two. The application and the kernel share a portion of memory, so the kernel doesn't ever run on the application's CPU.

This is questionably practical for a general-purpose machine, but for a server system used entirely as a hypervisor, or web server, or file aerver, or something, it might fit really well.
Actually pypy and it's jit proves you can make python fast. Nuitka also compiles python, and gain up to x4 in perfs.

What more, i think it would make more sense to actually make a bytecode to wasm and vice versa compiler than directly use python code.

Besides, performances are not important at first. The goal is not python is the browser, as wasm can go far beyong the web. The greatest assests for wasm IMO is the interroperability.

> In fact, it matters so much that most western countries require the country of origin to be stapled onto the product.

AFAIK, country of origin labels aren't required in the EU, although there are efforts to change that.
I think so. It's about factoring the recursion part out of a task, much like "map" is about factoring iteration out, and "fold" is about factoring out iteration+accumulation. I think scheme has both of these things; recursion schemes are the same idea but for recursion.
That's maybe like 5-10 percent of the reduction we need, though. Quite a large fraction.
Going beyond the vendor lock-in, one of the biggest initial draws of serverless - from speaking with friends - has been simplicity in situations where state isn't a concern. On the other hand, here we're discussing a bunch of hoop jumping to get stateful functionality that might more easily achieved by adding a library such as SignalR, or socket.io into your app.

Whilst this is probably a few screens to set up via the AWS, and can obviously be automated, you add complexity to development and delivery. Critically you also make it harder to diagnose and fix problems.

Like anything it's a trade-off: for some apps these issues won't matter so much, for others they will. For us, it would definitely be a problem.
Of course. That's true anywhere. I'm just pointing out that even when a platform allows people to write long essays, what most people really want to do is make fun of other people.

Rust and wasm is looking pretty interesting. I've recently started playing with kotlin-js. Kotlin also has a wasm compiler but their javascript transpiler has been around longer and garbage collection is short term an issue for their wasm compiler. Also there are a ton of kotlin-js libraries out there already which makes using this straightforward. This is exactly the kind of stuff the rust people are targeting as well. Basically, both ecosystems are creating all the tools and libraries they need to make pure rust or kotlin web applications. Rust is ahead but Kotlin and other languages are not far behind.

IMHO, the next two years there is going to be a massive adoption of wasm as the library ecosystem for different languages matures and as browsers gradually improve their wasm support. Contrary to the popular belief with javascript people, it will not be limited to just the performance critical parts: everything people do with javascript today is in scope. Absolutely no exceptions. I fully expect to see a lot of projects where the goal is to be 100% javascript free and I don't see any fundamental blocking issues to get there.

If you are doing a greenfield project today, that is already a feasible goal to set but you may have to reinvent a few wheels along the way or be dealing with not so mature frameworks and tools. However, once you start doing rust or kotlin, it will just feel wrong to have to revert to back to javascript or pull in an npm and wrap that with some facade. That's like admitting defeat. Basically, Rust people already concluded that they can do it all and are now in the process of doing it.

1. If your market is outside the country with mafia issues, hire every workers remotely and have get together meetings once a week or a month to sync on stuff

You can simply store the cash in a foreign firm and contract out the labor to your local company.

You can use a few offshore companies, so it appears as if you've bunch of portfolio clients who are giving you the work.

Keep local company margin at average for your industry at your size.

Usually, the corrupt Governments lack international support, so they fail to crack down on your offshore activity.

They go after easy targets surfacing in the country.

My friend lost his Steel Rolling Mill in Belarus after 5 years of struggle producing 10 million Euros net profit per year.

2. If your company does local stuff. Hire ex army chiefs/policemen/security guards and given them equity in your company and show them how you've ideas to grow the pie, in turn increasing their size of pie.
Show HN: Progressive Web App “An Easy Programming Language”
As it stands, this article strikes me more as a recruitment device than something useful to ML practitioners outside of Uber. I'm hopeful Uber will open-source parts of the Michelangelo stack, so it will be a contribution to the broader community.
Ah... the book that managed to entirely miss the rise of the Internet (and needed a from-scratch rewrite to fix the issue in the second edition!) Also: "The obvious mathematical breakthrough would be development of an easy way to factor large prime numbers."
It’s not the article’s job to educate you on some of the most used concepts of sociology. Why don’t you just check the terms you stumble over on Wikipedia, or a dictionary? That would be far more productive than asking people to rehash readily available content here in the comments.

I've never totally followed why AIO is its own set of interfaces instead of a generic async system call mechanism based on something like this. Write a bunch of requests to a page in the form of the registers that would make up the syscal, then wait for one to be completed using a futex or something (where futex(2) remains an actual system call).
But wouldn't having the kernel pinned to a different core hurt performance due to NUMA, or through having to do lots of cross-calls?
> In the UK a lot of infrastructure (e.g. energy, fixed-line telecommunications, railways) is run by for-profit companies that are heavily regulated by the government

With the exception of HS1/Channel Tunnel, the vast majority of the UK's fixed rail infrastructure (stations, tracks, land, etc) is publicly owned.

The train operating companies (TOCs) are, with some exceptions, privately owned. But because of the way they are franchised and regulated there is little competition between them, so it's quite different to the electricity or internet markets.

> taking internet as an example, if you use the common infrastructure the speed you can get will be the same from all providers

Not necessarily. Although each provider may share a common "last mile" infrastructure, ie the lines that run to your house, they must each arrange their own equipment and backhaul in the local exchange where that line terminates. Not all backhauls are equal and some providers perform better than others, especially at peak times.

> Maybe electricity is a better example, as the electrons you receive will be exactly the same no matter which provider you use.

Every unit of electricity you use has to be generated somewhere - and not all sources are equal. As a consumer, I might place a premium on low-carbon electricity, and choose a provider which promises to purchase only from wind turbines and other low-carbon sources.
American definitions of middle class seem to revolve around life goals and living standards. If you can afford to buy your own home and settle down with 2 kids, a dog, and at least one if not two cars, you're middle class.

Elsewhere, middle class is more defined by the nature of your work. If you work with your hands, you're working class, skilled, semiskilled or unskilled. Doesn't mean you're poor - tradesmen earn a lot of money. But you're probably not reading a lot of books and aren't as likely to send your kids to college as have them go into a trade or early work too. Whereas people who have a life of the mind, in work and play, are middle class, as are professionals and managers. (Arguably software straddles the line; IMO it's closer to a trade, but it's so malleable and the potential scope so large it can affect society too.)

Upper class is much more about social position than job or income. Who you know, who you're related to, who will take your call if you want to start a new project, or donate to your charity. Actually working for money is not upper class behaviour, it must be about some cause favourable to the social group.

they focused on C++ as an object-oriented programming language (as did, to be fair, mostly everyone in the 1990s since it was The Big Thing then) without seeing where C++'s real value is, which is :

- value types

- RAII idiom with exceptions

it's a big, coherent package, which means that you can write code so that e.g.

my_type foo{whatever};

file f{"/foo/bar", "w"};

foo.do_stuff();
f.write(foo);

and you can be assured that you won't have null pointers croppying left and right, much less "new" to write, your objects are always in a valid state, etc etc.

Java is the opposite: the whole object model revolves around the identity of objects, and thus any function that looks like `public string whatever()` can return null, you have to do manual cleanup of your resources most of the time everytime you use a type (closing files, streams, soundcards, etc etc), versus every time you define a type in C++.

5 Things You Had Wrong about YouTube Royalties (2015)
I don't think such a scheme is workable because what would the import tax be on a macbook? (it's made from millions of components and hundreds of materials, and the exact quantities aren't known) How about the tax on a google search? (all the energy into that remote datacenter)

Also consider where the fee goes... Lets say you're Saudi Arabia. You decide this plan is great, so you stick a massive $50 per barrel fee on oil out of your wells. You then realise that your oil isn't selling great in the world market, so you end up giving the oil industry support in the form of investment to dig new cheaper wells, since to do so is good business for both you and them. As long as you only give them $49 of support, you're still coming out ahead overall.

Unless the 'tax' is given to a benevolent world leader, then whoever collects this carbon tax will have an incentive to increase carbon emissions to collect more tax.

He did not turn to C.

He had to use C at Bell Labs and C with Classes was the way to avoid it, while fitting with the existing C tooling.

As after his experience with being forced to use BCPL instead of Simula, he sweared to not do it again.

Plenty of interviews where he goes about it, including some of his books.

I've always meditated on my own. I tried Headspace to see what the fuss was about and thought it was laughably bad...but i'm not a beginner so it probably just wasn't aimed toward me.

Sam Harris's app is the only one i find actually valuable because he frequently releases 5 to 30 minute "lessons" that are audio of him teaching some aspect of meditation or purpose. Talks on death, gratitude, the goal of meditation, thought experiments, etc. I don't do his 30 day guided meditations that are also in the app, but I'm sure they'd benefit some people.

The pros with Sam's app is that he is going to give you a unique experience and ask you to "look for things" in your meditation that might otherwise take you years to realize you should be looking for.

The con is the same with all guided meditations. An app can't tell what level of concentration you happen to be at during your 30 minute sit, and so it often interrupts you just as you're making some real progress.
Pretty much this. It’s like asking why crappy sitcoms are made. It’s because there is a demand for it.

Depends on the use case; keep in mind that syscalls are slow, too. If you have an application that does significant computation on lots of data (think a scientific calculation/simulation), having another core on the same socket read ahead from disk to RAM might be much more efficient than pausing computation to read synchronously. Or if you're a file server that is just passing things back to the kernel's network layer, you might not even need to see the contents of RAM yourself.
