In a blog post some time back Troy mentioned that he will not pay for files on principal, because he doesn't need to financially support black hats/thieves/criminals and most of the "best" files themselves get stolen or breached (because thieves will be thieves).

I think it is a reasonable position not to pay for these files, if the money is just going to encourage the creation of more of them.
If no car makers were producing EVs in volume, banning ICE sales would be infeasible. No politician would enforce such a ban if it amounted to a new car ban - and car makers would know as much, and could call the politicians' bluff by refusing to build EVs.

Indeed, according to [1] in the 1990s a Californian attempt to push ICE makers to produce EVs and "an alliance of the major automakers litigated [...] permitting the companies to produce super-low-emissions vehicles, natural gas vehicles, and hybrid cars in place of pure electrics." So demonstrably, ICE makers fight back when politicians try to force them to make EVs.

It is only because we have the Volt and the Leaf and the Kona the E-pace and the i3 and the e-golf and the Tesla that an ICE ban is on the table.

It's hard to say if we'd have that many EV options on the market without Tesla, or if the Toyota Prius would still be the pinnacle of EV technology.

Amazon re:MARS 2019
It's not always about money. You put out free software because you're proud of it and hope it can help others. But I've given up on sharing and maintaining open source because of the users' toxic self-entitlement. It's not worth the aggravation.

Bounties are not a good incentive to maintaining high quality open source - in fact it's the opposite. It encourages putting in rarely used functionality that is not in line with the goal of the software. In the cases where adding a feature is warranted, a small bounty rarely comes close to the development time required to implement it.

Even the act of properly vetting pull requests is an extremely time consuming process. Will this contribution affect the stability and performance of the code base? Does it follow the conventions of the project and include comprehensive test cases and documentation?

Micropayment donations are nice in theory but don't work in practice. The handful of projects that are able to self-fund do so only because large corporations support them, not individual users. And even those popular projects do not pay for the development of the the many project dependencies they rely on - without which their software would not be possible.

So I don't have any solutions to free software sustainability. The users of the software derive great benefit, but the producers - not so much. By in large, open source will always rely on the charity of its creators.

Gccgo in 2019: Faster, but still yields much slower code than standard compiler
Laptops in general are okay alternatives if you want a "UPS" (battery) and so forth. The only problem is that Laptops have hit-or-miss Linux support.

If Linux is a must, I'd argue that building a Desktop is easier, since you can verify which hardware works for Linux. (Pick motherboards that others have already tested).

Something like a Ryzen 5 2500x build (6-core / 12-threads) would be far better than a Rasp. Pi for any home-server use. You got 4-DIMMs for easy 32GB support for tons of virtual servers. You have Hard Drives, SSDs, AVX2 (for high-speed H264 encoding), PCIe (GPU compute) and more. The standard Desktop is a beast these days.

--------

For "clusters", a typical GPU like Vega64 or the RTX 2070 will get you far more performance at far cheaper prices. You can even toss two GPUs on a typical Desktop... maybe four GPUs if you go HEDT (Threadripper or i9-Extreme). That's all a modern supercomputer node is these days: just a normal CPU with 4x GPUs on it.

High-performance SIMD programming is a bit difficult at first, but programming CUDA / OpenCL / AMD HCC is actually straightforward. Its the "high performance" part that gets difficult (but that's true of any programming).

Your "cluster of GPUs" is the architecture of modern supercomputers. You can build one under $1500 (2x GPUs RTX 2060 or Rx 590 + Desktop with a bit more power-supply than usual). That's a Heterogeneous compute with 3-nodes (2x GPUs + 1x CPU) right there, plenty of room for experimentation and learning about communication.

--------

IMO, the Rasp. Pi's main benefit is GPIO and I2C pins, as described by the other poster. Rasp. Pi works extremely well as a host to Arduino (since Arduino has better latency metrics to its GPIO). Effectively, Rasp. Pi is easier to program than Arduino, but Arduino is easier to interface from an electronics point of view (due to lower latency, no OS in the way, etc. etc.)

But from a "serious compute" point of view, like servers or HPC, you probably should just get a normal desktop + graphics card. That's pretty much what a supercomputer is these days anyway.

This is the kind of startup entrepreneur bullshit I used to love. Now I just feel kind of sad. If you don't want to manage your Instagram, then don't. Not everything in life has to be about turning a profit.
I wonder what they define as entrepreneur, and I wonder what the employment statistics are in these states for women as non-entrepreneurs.

I know a lot of "business owners" in Ohio that are doing etsy stores, or in worst case MLM stuff. Both market heavily towards women as Ohio doesn't have great professional opportunities for women. Most companies they worked for had little to no maternity leave, so it was a matter of necessity for their family that they figured out something outside of traditional employment.
What matters is that we vote for a government that doesn't continuously tilt the playing field to the larger players' advantage.

The other question here may be "Is the number 1 state for female entrepreneurs the same as the number 1 state for any entrepreneur?"

If so, then we have a case of "the rising tide floats all boats".

Edit: Never mind. The answer to my question is "No", this is not a case of a rising tide floats all boats. Texas is specifically better for female entrepreneurs. Which is an interesting result.

Whilst no-one disputes the importance of ethics, I'm not convinced that taking an ethics class will make someone behave more ethically.

Whereas taking a STEM class (especially computer science) is much more likely to enable them to contribute to society.

I think we let students down if we don't at least make them aware of the impact their choices of major and classes will have upon their future financial security.

When we were getting ready for our first child, looking for a hospital, I went deep diving on infant mortality rates in the US in general, and specifically in our area's hospitals.

At least in my area of the country, the higher infant mortality (outside birth defects) rates are almost entirely driven by a tiny percentage of the overall population - extremely young mothers with substance abuse problems. The biggest portion of the effect is not a result of medical care differences. According to the CDC, "Asians" in the US have almost a quarter the infant mortality rate of "Blacks".

https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr64/nvsr64_09.pdf

The article mentions that the US infant death rate is 5.9, and the Cuban infant death rate is 4.0. However, according to the CDC report, Cuban ancestry, living in the US, has an infant death rate of 3.0!
it’s probably impossible for amazon to actually deliver cheaper rather than accounting for the costs in a way that might make it appear so. last-mile logistics is expensive and can’t compare to the outsourced logistics model employed by traditional groceries.

instead, amazon will rely on other revenue sources (e.g, manufacturer incentives) and shopper analytics to eke out slim margins on greater volumes (economies of scale and all that) that groceries will have trouble competing with.
Yeah! There's that whole thing where you understand how a work is structured, you know what part to pay attention to, what part to skim or read later, where you're required to do your own calculation to fill in something...

People complain a lot that books and presentations don't do everything and that mathematics has a bad "user experience". They may have a point, but the complaining alone won't fix it and will leave most people still feeling like frustrated outsiders.
> I could, in fact, sue the person that cause the damage and prove the actual damage even if it was above the replacement cause

No you couldn't, and I challenge you to find a single case where liability for damage to simple property has ever exceeded replacement value.

You won't find it.

The closest you'll find is where the property was fundamental to some business and there was lost income that contributed to the damages. This does not apply to pets (though it could apply to say, race horses or some show dogs).

The data regarding infant mortality is collected differently in different countries, so this is like comparing apples and oranges. In the US, more events are included in the umbrella of "infant mortality" than in most other countries, which use narrower definitions. Neither way is more "correct" than the other, but the varying definitions mean that it is very difficult to make meaningful cross-country comparisons, as Mr. Kristof is trying to do here.

The 'pressure to undergo abortions in case of fetal abnormalities' sounds the only potentially troubling part of that, but I don't exactly get what's 'authoritarian' about insisting women with complications stay and be be monitored in the hospital, or firing people based on poor performance?

Am I missing something here?
...but what business?
I too am in my 40s. But you could say the same thing about us 80s kids and our obsession with video games. Back then adults were asking "what does society get from a generation that plays video games all day?" They even made comics with jokes like "make $250,000 a year playing video games!!".

And guess what? There are people now that make a lot more money than that playing video games, and a bunch of people our age who get a ton of money a year to make those games.

So who knows, maybe it will show it's value later.

Besides, society has had famous people for quite a long time, so there must be some value in it.

>There's occasionally the standout who really impresses me, but then I think they're never going to want to stick around at my place.

Maybe companies need to stop thinking in terms of employees sticking around for a really long time, and get used to the idea of employees going from place to place when they get too bored or want to do something different. It seems insane to me, the idea of expecting an extremely intelligent, high-performing person to want to come to the same workplace day after day, for years or decades, doing mostly the same work.
Why did you choose to gloss over the forced abortions?
Lattices (the algebraic structure) seem to exist only on Wikipedia in the sense that the only time I've seen lattices every mentioned in my standard undergrad education is once for a proof of the Stone-Weierstrauss theorem.

I know there are textbooks on the topic, and probably lots of people who deal with lattices a lot. But my own experience seems to be that wikipedia puts more emphasis on lattices and things like universal algebra than actually happens in math.

Kinda off topic, but I'm interested in learning more about your struggle to find work due to being on the spectrum. My team recently had someone with autism join us and beforehand we had a mini workshop where we learned about autism in general, and the challenges faced in the workplace by people with autism. The one fact that really stood out to me was that the majority of autistic people are unable to find full time employment.

I'm usually a lurker on HN and don't see a way to send a private message, but if you're up for it, I'd love to exchange emails and learn more about your personal journey and challenges.

Interesting. If the bolding of the match is to be believed, it looks like the algorithm is dropping joining words and words too common to provide useful search signal, but as a result doesn't have enough data in the backing corpus to be confident it has an exact match, as you requested.

DDG on the same query gives exactly that page but nothing else. I wouldn't be surprised if Google finds that to be an inferior experience (because the common use case is people kind of remember a quote, but don't remember it exactly, so a few words out of place would false-negative the search where the answer the requester is looking for is edit-adjacent to the input).

>they can definitely do "People like historical drama... people like boats... let's do a historical drama on a boat!" sorts of things,

Which is the Achilles Heel of all recommendation engines. Just because I watched one historical drama doesn't mean that I want all historical dramas all the time. Take a show like Stranger Things. The campy nostalgic thing worked for it, but that doesn't mean I want my next 5 shows to be campy and nostalgic. I want my next show to be something original like Stranger Things was.
Not too surprising. The major cities in Texas are very diverse, dynamic places, with a lot of bootstrapping/entrepreneurship in the culture.

I lived in Houston for a bit, and one thing I noticed is people there never ask “where do you work?,” they ask “what do you do?” It was incredibly common for someone to answer with something like: “I’m a carpenter and I’m building up my furniture-design business. I’m also working at a bank for now while I get that going.”

Underrated place.
Tesla is slashing its workforce by 7% to make a cheaper Model 3
According to the CDC, in 2013, there were 3,932,181 live births and 23,446 infant deaths (from birth to age one). That checks out with a 6 in 1000 ratio.
"the infant mortality rate in Cuba is only 4.0 deaths per 1,000 live births. In the United States, it’s 5.9. In other words, an American infant is, by official statistics, almost 50 percent more likely to die than a Cuban infant."

Is that right? Or is it 0.19% more likely to die in the USA. This is why I never win on the horses.

So perhaps the answer is that they are both pretty safe? I would think more elective caesarians and traffic accidents could account for much of the differences but it must be getting pretty close to the margin of error?
I read the original article, and they don't know what the conditions were when they entered cryptobiotic state:

The moss sample used in the current study most probably contained, initially at least, moisture from snowmelt in early summer, since at the time of collection they were not covered by winter snow accumulation. However, the possibility of freeze-drying during 30.5 years of frozen storage cannot be discounted, and whether the animals obtained here were hydrated or dehydrated (thus in an anhydrobiotic state) before or after storage is unknown.

My understanding (I'm a bioinformaticist, not a wet lab biologist, but I've collected tardigrades and read up on them), the process occurs in very dry conditions.

However, in good faith, I did some searching and found some pages which claim that cyrobiosis (a form of cryptobiosis that occurs in wet, cold enviornments) is exploited by tardigrades. So I guess you're right.

I wouldn't mind paying a fair sum for a service that would:

(1) reasonably guarantee that my data not only won't be distributed - but will be destroyed (on their side) within a short time frame

(2) give me access to all of the raw data and methodologies used in their analysis

Does anyone know of such a service?
That's the reason very few companies are talking about selling those, and the entire discussion is about cars as a service.

Given enough time, they will probably stop requiring external help, but it's very unlikely that the first autonomous cars to run without it.

Of course, as a reminder: This means you have to keep your custom domain, or else someone can register it after it expires and make any emails they want on it. But if you have a domain personal to you that you've used as part of your email address, you should probably keep it forever anyways.
