China’s information control, while extensive, is not nearly effective enough to suppress news like this. It’s the same reason we hear of human rights abuses happening in the country.
The whole point is for users to spend less time exploring so they don't realize the selection of decent content is actually quite limited. Netflix doesn't care if people don't like it as long as they keep paying for a subscription. People will complain about this but not cancel the subscription. People will cancel the subscription if there's no content.

"But i'm a toaster. It is my raison d'être. I toast, therefore I am!"﻿
Yes, I've considered that; naturally, considering it's the fashion at the moment. There's no reason to assume that something which people have described for thousands of years doesn't exist, just because a bunch of people working with a science rooted in objective measurement have found something that they're unable to model in any way.

It'd be nice to think that consciousness wasn't real, because then science could explain mostly everything. Very comforting. But it can't.
Email newsletters are decentralized, unlikely to go extinct, and compatible with many payment mechanisms.
Except Paul explicitly states he met James, brother of Jesus. And there's plenty of differences between how those documents are written and the ways myths are told. Try actually reading an introductory New Testament text, like Ehrman's (who himself is agnostic, and went through an atheist period), and you'll see.
Why will severing economic ties change it either way? Do you just mean as a matter of principle we should sanction China, or do you think it will be an effective impulse for change?
On the contrary. I think our leaders should spend more time together. Maybe they should even vacation together.

The US severed economic ties with Cuba in the 60s and look what happened (only recently celebrating Christmas became legal, and property that belonged to the church was returned). There are countless examples like that.

You just need one person to leak it (or 2-3, if you care about journalistic integrity and receive the information from multiple sources). Remember, you don't need true cryptography -- you just need to get information out. It's okay to violate kerckhoff's principle and have a scheme that's dependent on the algorithm itself so that the government can't automatically decrypt your data. Like using obscure steganography. You might be discovered later, but once the information is out, it's out.

> Masters of DOOM: A homage from a fanboy meant for other fanboys. It definitely has its bits of brilliance but it is still a chore to finish.

Can I recommend the audiobook? For what it's worth I found Masters of DOOM to be great. Mostly because the writing style _really_ does a good job of communicating the personalities of the people involved. I'm not a video game guy, in fact I've never played DOOM, but I still enjoyed it start to finish.
Mom: "There are starving kids in China, eat all your food!". Thanks Mom; kids are still starving there, and now America is fat. --unkown comedian.

I was told, as a kid, that it was rude to not eat all the food put in front of you, especially at other people's houses. Other parents would comment on how polite we children were for clearing our plates.
I agree that "peer-reviewed" is a pretty low bar, although a better example would be more modern fields like those recently dubbed "Grievance Studies" -- formal peer review was not common even in hard sciences until maybe 50 years ago, quite a bit later than geocentrism.

But GP is correct that this is not junk science. The basic ideas of psychometrics were pretty clear 100 years ago. They've been widely attacked since then, both casual mud-slinging (Alchemy, Astrology...) and also people who drilled into the details and tried to prove things wrong. Arguably the former strategy has had more effect than the latter.
Thank you for looking at the bigger picture - I have experienced first-hand, the persecution complex from a lot of Christians. They're not bothered by other religions being targeted but when Christianity is the last one being culled, they suddenly make it all about their beliefs.
They're simply cracking down on a particular brand of being staunchly non-aligned with their totalitarian vision of reality. Which is probably exactly what you dislike about Christianity, that total claim to truth, and converting or murdering people in the past, right?

So why gloat when now people get persecuted who aren't persecuting others? Because they carry the same "brain virus" as people who did in the past, as people you can't get at because it's in the past? Demonstrating apathy to murderers in the present, using a shallow similarity of the victims to murderers of the past to even laud them, is completely incoherent, and morally bankrupt.
I use full-disk encryption on my old thinkpad. As in, the whole disk is encrypted, from first sector to last. There isn't even a MBR or a partition table on it! I boot the laptop from my USB stick which contains the kernel and initrd. That's what I call full-disk encryption ;)
Gödel's result, being constructive, is buildable without the Law of Excluded Middle, and it should be buildable in any topos that has Boolean logic and LEM. (And probably some other features, like infinities.) Recall that provability from a set of axioms is a path or a chaining-together of many small deductions, each one machine-checkable, and thus we can construct a proof mechanically. Therefore we are in the realm of the Booleans since that is the realm in which the proof checker is operating. Crucially, for a given set of axioms and a given arbitrary statement, either the proof does exist, in which case we may machine-check it and use the proof statement as a witness to the proof's existence, or it does not exist, and it is equivalent to the Halting Problem to show so.

To be pithy, if we choose a (true, undetermined, false) compatible with topos logic, we should be able to encode Gödel's work using only the "true" and "false" values.

You have hit upon something important, though. Recall that, in constructive logic, (WFF) statements are either true, false, or not false, where "not false" is not an actual intermediate truth value, merely a potential truth value. If we take as an axiom that statements that are not false are true (double-negation elimination) then we can derive LEM. Nonetheless, "not false" is a wonderful truth value to assign to the classic paradoxes.

To continue to be pithy, and to paraphrase a category theorist, "not false" is something that we see from the outside, but it isn't visible from the inside, and Gödel's theorems are all about encoding things into the inside.

Suppose, indeed, that we write out the Gödel statement G in some formalized English, as "This statement is true and unprovable within Formal English." Can G be true? Yeah, sure, it's true in the integers, but not in a way that Formal English can show. (That's the incompleteness!) Can G be false? Meh, yes, but it gets nasty, because G is true in the integers, so ~G leads to a non-standard model. Could G be not false? Surprisingly, yes!

I wonder whether this is the line of thought that led Bishop to his terminology.

This is true of IPv4 ICMP as well. Same PMTU issues, but many IPv4 implementations fallback to allowing in-path packet fragmentation by the routers (which IPv6 discontinued), which is less visible breakage but still inefficient/problematic.

It's also slightly more complicated than "outbound allow, inbound deny" because you want to accept reply packets to the outbound ones, using something like the iptables "-m state --state related,established" match.

>Do people generally understand that there's almost never a single inventor?

The best description of this I have heard is Charles Fort's, adapted by the science fiction community into an idea called 'Steam Engine Time'.

>"There’s an idea in the science-fiction community called steam-engine time, which is what people call it when suddenly twenty or thirty different writers produce stories about the same idea. It’s called steam-engine time ­because nobody knows why the steam engine happened when it did. Ptolemy demonstrated the mechanics of the steam engine, and there was nothing technically stopping the Romans from building big steam engines. They had little toy steam engines, and they had enough metalworking skill to build big steam tractors. It just never occurred to them to do it. When I came up with my cyberspace idea, I thought, I bet it’s steam-engine time for this one, because I can’t be the only person noticing these various things. And I wasn’t. I was just the first person who put it together in that particular way, and I had a logo for it, I had my neologism."

>"If human thought is a growth, like all other growths, its logic is without foundation of its own, and is only the adjusting constructiveness of all other growing things. A tree can not find out, as it were, how to blossom, until comes blossom-time. A social growth cannot find out the use of steam engines, until comes steam-engine-time. For whatever is supposed to be meant by progress, there is no need in human minds for standards of their own: this is in the sense that no part of a growing plant needs guidance of its own devising, nor special knowledge of its own as to how to become a leaf or a root. It needs no base of its own, because the relative wholeness of the plant is relative baseness to its parts. At the same time, in the midst of this theory of submergence, I do not accept that human minds are absolute nonentities, just as I do not accept that a leaf, or a root, of a plant, though so dependent upon a main body, and so clearly only a part, is absolutely without something of an individualizing touch of its own."

You should take a look at Dr Fuhrman’s Eat to Live and Dr Michael Greger’s How Not to Die.

You should take into account that some whole plant high sugar or high starch foods like fruits and beans come packaged with fiber and other nutrients as well that serve to balance the nutritional profile and glycemic impact of the food.

That being said, if you do have a problem with sugar, stay away from sweet or high starch foods that lack fiber like ripened bananas and cooked white potatoes. Beans are healthy because they contain resistant starches that act like fiber.

You should be eating a variety of whole plant foods with high fiber and high nurtrient density.

> mastering the discipline of UX...

There is no reason to be ambiguous about the practice of good UX design.

The main mistake made by most A/B testing is to think that just because you do some testing, it will magically make your UI somehow better. You can make any tests you want, but how do you know they the right tests? And test results do not interpret themselves. There are no obvious conclusions to be drawn from the results of a test.

The correct way to do user testing is to start with clear, articulated goals, then select tests to see if the goals are failing or succeeding. Anything else is just back-dating hypotheses - a known anti-science practice.

The other misinterpretation of A/B testing is that it will make user interfaces "better" for the end user. Testing can only support or disprove the stated goal and it works just as well for goals that are foolish, short-sighted, self-destructive, and malevolent as it does for those that are ethical and beneficial.
My experience failing with YAML: I've converted a visual workflow tool into a YAML file mode so I could give my users a file format they could edit, share and version with any text editor and commit to a git repo.

The result was that they were at a loss trying to figure out the free-form map and array structures. They could not grasp when to use dashes (arrays) mixed with maps (array of maps) and would fail to indent structures all the time. Trying to create meaningful error reporting was very hard since their mistakes were also valid YAML.

YAML is definitely powerful but can become too complex too fast. And being a format full of sigils and its TIMTOWTDI "there's more than a way to do it" approach can easily enrage lean purists and complexity detractors, hence the hatred.

At the risk of sounding preachy, I was raised with the “clean plate” philosophy and avoided overeating by planning beforehand what I could reasonably eat, and never putting anything more on my plate. Once you get rid of the incentive at the very end to eat just a bit more, I don’t see this as being a huge problem anymore.

Finally someone has the balls to call out what is a total & unequivocal anti-mankind force.

I hope India & the Indian government grows the balls to do the same. The Church insults the native population & their ways, plays dirty politics, takes over temples & temple land illegally & is totally anti-India. The Catholic church in India is the second richest organization after the Government of India & all church priests are appointed by a foreign entity, the Vatican. Indians are a hapless lot to allow such direct flaunt of actions against Indian unity. When most of the world is seeing a reduction of Christianity, India is the new battle ground for missionaries to harvest souls. Many of these missionaries come illegally on tourist visas, visit tribal & backward places (some of my own acquaintances have admitted to this) & provide a material gift like a bag of rice or bread & convert them. That is exactly what happened to the missionary in the Sentinelese islands in the Indian ocean. People forget that Christianity is a desert cult, not fit for modern society. And they have the gall to call Hinduism & all eastern religions as evil!!

TL;DR: Islam & Christianity are just two sides of the same coin. Both desert cults are poisonous & not fit for mankind.

Wonderful and inspiring work! I wonder if it would be possible to create a similar interop story with the Rust programming language, which also targets LLVM -- ideally without having to redo all the hard work that went into Clasp. I have a Prolog interpreter/compiler I'm developing in Rust right now. One of my aims (eventually) is to compile Prolog to fast native code with it. It would be nice to have convenient access to it from a Common Lisp environment.
So if I get your drift, someday you'll support the "freedom of expression" of terrorists?

The church is known to indulge in borderline terrorism, just fyi. This is at least in the case of India. We suffer it every single day.
Writing from the perspective of a person who literally had a life ruined by religious ideology impairing the mental judgement of parental figures. This is literally one of the best things I've read in my life. Going to be unpopular opinion because of people indoctrinated into freedom of expression but why not. Religious ideology has done more damage than terrorism to LGBT people. The result has lead to suicides and the law has done nothing to remedy the people abused. The people running the "faith" systems are nothing more than celebs to people who desire their fix and when it develops into a mental illness of pushing upon others.. people look the other way. Since "who has all the money" gets to keep the show running. No compassion exists in this world. Just agenda pushing by who has all the finances.
(disclaimer, this is more of a FYI than my opinion about anything)

> From the article: The government requires religious groups to register.

China allows for the operation of pretty much all religions including the world's favorite Abrahamic ones. Unregistered religions pique the interest of countries founded on religious persecution, and ignore the operation of registered ones.

Registered ones are able to continue verbatim teachings, but obviously cannot be used to talk about "subversive ideas", in China.

The limitation about what can be discussed, and even the strings attached to the registration requirements (gov't officials part of the church) are things to criticize. Many proponents of any of their religions find registration to be an unfavorable condition.

The point is that this title could just as easily be "China's Christian registrations flourish". Because they do and they are probably the second largest Christian population in the world - simply because the rest of the world is less populated - while a non-registered minority also contains possibly tens of millions of people and it will seem like any massive civil rights crackdown because it also affects millions of people.

An interesting read, and I agree that we need to de-couple "news" from "advertising" but the question still remains - "How will content creators make money?" Since, unfortunately, financial gain still seems to be what's driving journalism and news reporting. I don't know how to fix that, or if blockchain (which is ultimately what the article is about) is going to be the solution, but it might be part of the solution.
Why is this even on Hacker News? Does the majority of readers here have the expertise to comment on the matter?
I'm not supporting China here, but the ideology "accepting all faith" is strange and, maybe, dangerous.

Bible contains some cruel stories. But Christianity has a leader, which is Pope, who has ties with modern world and updates/rejects the stories from Bible, so it works decently enough with modern world.

Other religions don't have that kinds of checks and balances. some religions just interpret whatever ancient books they have. They believe that every story in those books is true and should be practiced.

The stories in the book might be abominable. But we are all like "We must accept all faiths".
