Storing is fine!

Indexing is full of caveats, though.
In college I remember loving amphetamines. I would take as much adderall as I could get my hands on.

It made me feel superhuman. Just knowing I would score some would get me excited.

But the more I times I took it, the more I would think of the terrible comedown. It got to the point where I wouldn’t touch the stuff without having weed and xanax on me.

Finally, I just got too scared of the comedown and stopped. All for the best I suppose (though I do take low doses of adderall or modafinil very occasionally for work if I feel like I’m about to fall asleep at my desk)

It's an information theory issue. Information travels at the speed of light or less.

Hayek married his cousin, but he was right that information transfer over large distances creates huge latencies in CAP theorem analysis of Markets. To me, Austrian just means don't pretend information latency is zero or bandwidth is infinite.

A really nice D&D 'implementation' is Lamentations of the Flame Princess, at least in terms of the supplements, particularly Zak Smith's stuff. The last time I played D&D was during the 2e era (though I stubbornly stuck to 1e), and the LotFP has some of the flavour of the good I remember from that time (with its own twists).
The iPhone 4 has less real estate, so far fewer pixels, so less graphics processing required. Also less energy required for the same brightness. Also the case doesn’t have to be proportionally thicker, so the extra thickness is entirely for battery.

I’d be surprised if an iPhone 4 based on new power-sipping technology wasn’t within a few percent of the web browsing/movie watching time of the iPhone 8 or similar.
Some part of the industry did; in MS shops a lot of XAML is used. The old MS would've pushed XAML for web applications a lot more, but the new is more of whatever the developer wants. There are people working on XAML everywhere (all platforms including web), especially in the Xamarin.Forms camp, but there is no force or adoption there. It's mostly WPF (and a bit of Xamarin) that uses XAML, but that's a large group still; I encounter it everywhere at partners/clients (usually Java runs on the servers 'in the basement' and some non trivial amount of WPF/Xamarin.Forms (XAML) (now with .NET Core where possible; even the .NET only shops do seem to like it) runs on the front facing systems).
If I update a library function to require a new parameter, then in the same commit, I will also change every application which uses that library to supply the new parameter. The promise of the monorepo is "you can pick any random commit from any point in history, and all of those applications and libraries will be compatible with each other".

For major changes that are too big to migrate every user in a single commit - create a new API, do development there, migrate users from the old API to the new API, delete the old API.

(I wonder if you're coming from a world where library developers and application developers don't have permission to touch each other's code? At FB at least, the library developer would be allowed to create a pull request modifying the application code - though they may need a stamp of approval from the application owner before that pull request is merged into master)
VPCs are not a substitute for accounts. Most AWS resources must have unique names across the account like lambdas, SQS queues, sns topics etc.

When you have one account you end up prefixing/suffixing resource names for different environments. It gets to be really ugly.

Years ago (before airbnb) I was working on that independent landlord idea and got cold feet when people I was interviewing seemed mostly concerned with insurance liability of having strangers in their space. LiquidSpace came along and did the same thing but they were funded so better equipped to navigate the liability issues.

That's when I started thinking about smaller co-working spots in strip malls and similar locations. Focus more on the details around managing co-working (member management, access management, etc) and franchise it out.

I have never gotten deep into the details so there are likely many reasons why it wouldn't work but as a work from home guy, it's something I'd love to have near me.

> An async http server ? What about Woo and Wookie ? https://github.com/orthecreedence/wookie

Wookie is one of those that does either-or -- the main competency is async io, and it offers multi-threaded perf with some plumbing (see the Threading guide[0]).

I don't mean to put down the libraries out there (lack/clack, hutchentoot, wookie, woo, ningle, etc), but for languages that aren't single-core-by-design/circumstance (i.e. node, python, ruby), I don't expect it to be this difficult to find a library that handles both multi-threaded operation and asyncio at the same time, abstracted cleanly so users don't have to think about it or add plumbing.

Performant web servers that take advantage of what your language is good at is table stakes these days, if things like this are not standardized/obvious choices at this point it tells me that I won't be able to find other things down the line. It's a circular problem though, someone has to build all the libraries that I'm expecting to find, and it could be me -- I just don't want to join the ranks of those committed to the CL ecosystem, right now at least.

> for reference some companies keep betting on CL today: https://github.com/azzamsa/awesome-lisp-companies (and I suppose that's just the emerging iceberg)

I didn't say that companies don't bet on CL, I just personally couldn't imagine recommending it to anyone as the language to do a new project/startup/whatever in. Lisp has value, but for me that value is much more slanted to the way of thinking than for practical usecases, even more than Haskell which is weird.

Very few places, but there's no reason that it couldn't be. Such a plan would have to come with some substantial changes/restrictions on colleges to help rein in the ballooning costs (e.g. lazy rivers, gourmet cuisine) that are pushing costs up dramatically.

I would not expect a better reaction from actual, mammalian estrogen. It doesn't work that way with opioids: carfentanyl is a whole lot more powerful than dynorphins, enkephalins, endorphins, endomorphins and nociceptin.

Also, quantity matters. Plants might produce a lot more than mammals do.

In any case, the breast growth on males is no joke. That is just the affect on adults, who are far less susceptible than babies. However it works, soy is a serious hazard and should have the GRAS (generally recognized as safe) status removed.

>The methodology of Austrian economics seems completely unscientific, I believe a part of praxeology is disregarding empirical evidence.

That's exactly it, it's more of a religion you have to accept on faith as opposed to a useful model for governing a society.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Praxeology

>Austrians argue that that empirical data itself is insufficient to describe economics; that consequently empirical data cannot falsify economic theory; that logical positivism cannot predict or explain human action; and that the methodological requirements of logical positivism are impossible to obtain for economic questions. Ludwig von Mises in particular argued against empiricist approaches to the social sciences in general, because human events are unique and "unrepeatable".
This must be for a technically illiterate person who wishes to pretend to have a clue....
Well, I'm not sure exactly what OP meant when he said "innovation" I was just stating some practical use cases.

I've been meaning to write an essay on Modern Austrian economics that takes into account results after 1930 from Kolmogorov, Shannon, and CAP theorem. Policies that work at a local level don't scale to a Frederal level. Even with the internet we have meatspace high latency constraints.
Sorry for the weird use of language. I was thinking of animal suffering as an ingredient in the meal. Akin to how people say, "the secret ingredient is love."
> I should have included the disclaimer that I previously worked there

Or perhaps a disclosure. A disclaimer is sort of the opposite:

"I believe X about company Y. Disclosure: I work(ed) there, so could be biased."

"I believe X about company Y. Disclaimer: I have never worked there, so could be completely wrong."
I find the functional programming crowd can be very vocal on a site like HN...can't tell you how many times I thought..."you know, I should really learn Lisp" after visiting here!
That isn't entirely true. There's a thriving black and grey market around THC oil today, in particular, in California. Counterfeits are a well-known problem. It's not improbable to think that the oil for those counterfeits could come from illegal grow ops.
Ouch that is certainly frustrating and more than a little bit silly. Thanks for sharing.

But when Struczynski stepped inside the facility to check it, he saw that the shower and floor were bone-dry.

I wonder if properly trained state sponsored OP's can see a flaw here? Not sure if it's down to dumb bad luck or not.

Congrats Julia creators! Happy to see Julia getting well deserved traction and attention.
I find this helpful and the voice sounds good. Its impressive how technology can make this happen, whereby I think you should possibly give the users options to change the voice to something they would prefer, a female voice or some different voice variants.
As a layman, I think Austrian school lacks of quantitive ways to do repetitive applied work for fields and industries compared to the mainstream schools. And many of the tools and information sources were not available at Mises' time. Our society is based on calculation. Economics as a tool for management teams has to provide effective calculation for as many things as possible. People communicate and make decisions based on the calculation framework and the results. The world's economic states are modelled in a more or less approximate way. The school that can offer more "fact-based" and measurable data and results are welcomed by decision makers and the people work for them. Organizations need them. When many of organizations are using similar frameworks, the can communicate with other similar parties. It's easier for parties to make their data and results compatible to their own system. Just some random thoughts from a layman. And yes, I love Mises' work. But the tooling is missing for a lot of applications. There can be very limited actionable decision you can make if you adopt it. I'm probably misinformed, misunderstood and biased. Just some of my observations and thoughts.
Not sure where you're getting that a non-thesis masters program is "terminal". You can still go somewhere to get a PhD with a non-research master's degree, not even necessarily somewhere "bad". If anything the fact that the degree is online would hurt you more than the fact that there was no thesis
The term was popularized by alpinist Kelly Cordes, but goes back decades. Used frequently in ice climbing scene, because climbing a pitch of ice is generally a painful horrendous experience for most. But you’re so elated and adrenaline pumped when you reach the top, you get a “climbers high” that makes you want to keep going. Type 2 fun is a unique experience.
If you enjoy D&D then Critcal Role[1] is a must watch. Matt Merser is an amazing DM. And the other players(all professional voice actors) are really good as well.

No, just a bigger waste of money. When I was growing up in the 90s in upstate ny, they constantly had helicopters and other vehicles looking for grow operations around our house.

Keep taking the money out of it, and these people will go away.
>> have to learn yet another language to use it

Many of us graybeards already know Pascal though. Some even used Delphi and C++ Builder in their heyday, and remember it fondly. It was basically the only sane alternative to VB, with better productivity (instantaneous compilation, even on hardware from 20 years ago!) and a real programming language behind it.
I'm a subscriber. Its not like you're getting a pack of new underwear with every shipment, it is one new piece every time. It may be strange but I love the feeling of fresh new underwear.

All the assumptions that make a database index work will break.

If you think about any kind of binary tree based structure, it will have invariants like "the left child node will be less than the parent node, and the right child node will be greater than the parent node."

If those are violated just a little bit, at best data will simply disappear from the index. It's possible for updates to delete stuff, or for operations on the index to hang.
Most mathematicians don't care at all about CH and among those who do not all believe that ZFC+CH is more intuitive than ZFC+not CH (really it makes no sense to believe whether it is true or not unless you believe in some platonic universe of sets, but I do maths, not philosophy), for example Gödel himself thought that the continuum could be aleph_2, Woodin's Omega logic argued the same (but this is somewhat controversial) and the proper forcing axiom also implies that the continuum is aleph_2

Show HN: Give ID – Get rewarded for fundraising
Were they wrong though? I'd wager far more credit cards have been stolen via the internet than by eavesdropping?
Are you in a program that biases your thoughts towards the negative aspects?
Hi Hacker News!

We are hoping to get some feedback on a new feature that we just launched that is intended to help foundations greatly accelerate their fundraising efforts via crowdsourcing.

The idea behind the new feature, called Give ID Rewards, is to encourage nonprofit supporters to fundraise on a foundation’s behalf by incentivizing them with desirable rewards that can be obtained by meeting fundraising goals. Our initial version will allow fundraisers to earn a $20 Amazon gift card for raising $500 and a $50 Amazon gift card for raising $1000 for a foundation of their choosing, but will be expanded to include other reward options in the future.

We are hoping that this feature is able to accelerate a foundation's ability to raise funds for their highest priority campaigns by providing supporters with the opportunity to earn tangible, desirable rewards for their fundraising efforts instead of relying on their good will alone.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

> I might be required to break backward compatibility
> ...
> I cannot do these necessary things because every change I make is beholden to every regression test for every consumer

Given that backward-incompatible changes are going to be a fact of life, then at some point, somebody will have to deal with them. We can either write one commit which deals with the library and the consumers at the same time; or we can modify the library in isolation and 3 months later the consumer tries to upgrade and is surprised to find out that the API has changed and the author of that change got hit by a bus. It's the same amount of code either way, but I find small incremental atomic changes are easier to manage than large batches of non-atomic changes.
coming soon.. Pre marital test..?
You make good points, the main reason these tools don’t exist , however, is that I thought Mises and others felt that economics was about logical deduction from the axioms of human action - Praexology. and thus there was no need for math or empiricism to validate the theories - they were Prima facie correct.

The key there is "at every interaction".

Consider lots and lots of interactions.

In what I was explaining, you have highly probable outcomes being observed a lot, and very low probability outcomes being observed rarely.

In what you are reading on wikipedia, you have at each and every one of those lots and lots of interactions a "splitting" into a different world per possible outcome. That's MWI's core content, and it seems to help some people develop intuitions about outcomes of experiments where small numbers of interactions (perhaps even just one, especially where it involves entanglement) determine much larger systems.
By definition and practicality, schools and fields of work will remain a pyramid i.e. at any given time, there will only be a few fields and colleges that "give advantage", being able to absorb only a fraction of students by competition. e.g. field of programming can only absorb a million odd engineers in next few years. (Ironically, when it absorbs more, it will no longer remain a field with high wages).

The remainder of the iceberg hence, will need to go to other lower parts of the pyramid. ISAs won't do anything for that. Only the government will. And the Govt does it for us, with our money, because not providing education to lower levels of pyramid will result in nothing but societal anarchy.

ISAs hence shouldn't be hailed as panacea for education loans which is what marketing makes us believe. The only advantage of ISAs, is that they unlock better education for some "motivated students" (for lack of an accurate phrase) from underprivileged circumstances. That's not a trivial advantage for those who qualify. I don't know what that % of population is, but it can't be much.

In any case, however small, that number sure seems enough to build a business around it with some feel-good marketing (like this article).
That's exactly right. It's normally a purchased through a carrier's 2 year upgrade plan, and the expectation has been simplicity.
