Modern medicine is like the medieval church
> "Counterfeiting costs the watchmaking industry billions each year."

I take this with the same giant heaping of salt that I'd take with claims that the record industry loses billions per year because of mp3s, or movie companies because of bittorrent. They were never going to see those sales. The market size at price $0 is much, much larger than that at anything higher. Wishful thinking at its purest.

I second, with emphasis, ryanlol's rejection of your ideas about counterfeits being somehow immoral. I don't buy counterfeits but would have zero moral qualms about doing so - it doesn't even enter my mind. To be honest I have difficulty believing anyone seriously believes buying a counterfeit watch is truly immoral. If you actually do believe that - wow, we live in different worlds.

I find it hard to take seriously anyone who outsources their morality to whatever the law happens to currently be wherever they currently are. Laws vary wildly across both time and space. Anyone claiming their morals just follow "the law" is actually admitting they don't have their own morals at all.

Various state and national forests in the US have public-use cabins. There used to be many, many more of them. But many have been sold off, or eliminated because they were too frequently trashed.

Way back in the day, friends and I used to live in them, on an itinerant basis. Everything that I owned was saturated with woodsmoke. Some city friends would joke that they didn't need to look in the mailbox to know if they'd received a letter from me. They could smell it at some distance ;)
I'm not personally endorsing him, but you have to admit that's the kind of thing he'd put in a video which millions of people would see. Pretty small investment for a potentially huge return.
> we aren't back at the dot com days when it felt like there was so much demand that hiring standards fell

Well... I think that completely depends on the market you're in. I was pretty much forced to hire inexperienced developers because we had hard deadlines, lack of devs and a lack of available, good developers. Of course this, really messed with the quality and long term maintainability, but the investors mostly ignored that part.

Tips to Become a Popular YouTuber
Are you going to start a new youtube channel? And you do not have any idea to become famous with the huge fan following? There is nothing worry about it. Many of the people are not know about how to create a youtube channel. If you want to become successful youtuber, then you want to know what you are doing. Because it is also no video.

If you are the new user then you have to promote your videos. There are many types of promotion presented. One of the easiest ways is buying views to your video for becoming popular.

Fun related quote from reddit:

"you can tell if someone started game development as a hobby because they ARE using an ECS."
I converted the authors c version of the code to Java and ran it through JMH, on my machine it runs about 30% slower. (This is before he added the metaprogramming that essentially precalculates some of the matrices at compile-time).

That's also without making any attempt at optimizing, basically a straight conversion that took ten minutes.

It's not the speed of C but it's pretty close. And it has memory safety.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but I think you're arguing that people dying means that the population is reduced? If so I think that's not the right conclusion.

If people lived longer, healthier lives they might delay having children or put off having children entirely. It is not true that countries with lower life expectancy have smaller family sizes. One of the reasons people have children is because it is a sort of immortality - they want their genes and family to be carried on. But if you actually live longer, that particular reason for having kids is weakened.

Transparency, Openness, and Our 2016 and 2017 Financials
I wound up having to explain finger trees from memory over the phone to somebody who did not want to listen to a high level description of an algebraic data type. Upon being asked for a more low-level description, I gave a word-by-word description of the pointer layout of a tagged union. Then I got asked for the simplest possible data structure, so I answered with an array, and then the guy scoffed like I was an idiot because that was too simple. So then I went with a cut buffer. He tried talking me into using a doubly linked list, and IIRC I wound up going for a doubly linked list of arrays varying in size between 40 and 80 bytes, because I wouldn't want to waste so much memory. Didn't get an on-site.
We ran into something similar last month, what we ended up doing is adding the deployed sha1s to dynamodb table, after deployment of a new version we added an item to the table, after release(complete route53 switch to the new cloudformation stack) update the item and add a timestamp with the release.

each item had the following fields: sha1(partition key), environment, deployment timestamp, release timestamp
Quite a few places I heard called bothie were privately owned by curious share communities. Up by the headwaters of the iron bru springs around moffat (I know... not really but it was amazingly ferrous water) there were a few shacks we called that way. And down cockburnspath.

Sure. Up in the hills, for serious climbers and walkers? Different story. But bothies included Shephard's huts, and working mens fishing camps and all kinds of things.

What do you think "the butt and ben" looked like before maw broon got some carpets off the rag and bone man and paw broon got that auld sofa?

If you want to be pedantic, yes the working class lowland "hutters" were different. I guess that's what I'm talking about. Colloquially people call these places bothies. It it's not part of the MBA hill stuff, for sure.

This was true until a few years ago. Java 11 has a new ultra-low-pause GC that's almost entirely multi-threaded and mostly predictable.

There's plenty of semi-realistic benchmarks out there. I like TechEmpower the best since they test an entire web framework + database.

Several java implementations are right up there with C, along with .NET Core, Go, and Rust. In the vast majority of cases the extra 20-50% speed of C isn't worth the dangers.

There is what seems to be a repeated typo in footnote 1: "You take the length N. N % M (pronounced N modulo M) gives you a value Q such that 0 ≤ Q < N." I assume the author meant taking M % N here, and later on.

I can't imagine what makes FP too primitive. It is essentially abstract. FP's degree of being primitive depends on the coarseness of its combinators.

What I find limiting is easy access to efficient, immutable data structures. Ocaml leaves you with the option to switch to mutable data structures at the cost of safety, and Haskell provides things like the ST monad for handling mutable updates safely at the cost of type-level complexity.
This headline (and note article is from 2014) is... not ideal. I think I take the most issue with "simply" -- as if recovering from any addiction is simple in any way.

First off, I am 100% sure some people do "simply" grow out of their addiction. But what does that mean? What life changes happened during that period of growth that caused addiction to be a more manageable personal issue?

For me, most recently at least, it was when I simply could not find a vein anymore. I had always had poor vein access and after close to 5 years of IV'ing black tar heroin, I had more abscesses than I had available veins. Muscling tar is not pleasant, often leads to an abscesses at the injection site, and has poor bioavailability, but if you are sick and have spent 20 minutes poking yourself at least 20 times (hopefully going through 2-3 syringes in the process as well, and having to deal with backloading your dose), the option becomes more appealing. All of this poking around looking for a flash leads to abscesses as well.

With a lifetime of poor vein access, I was doing all the things they did to me in the hospital when I needed an IV: heated blankets, hydration, using alcohol swabs, tourniquets, at least attempting to rotate injection sites, and so on. When I discovered my hands and feet had slightly easier access, I was elated, but that only lasted a couple years, and it really, really, really hurts to miss in your hands and feet.

Is that what they mean by "simply growing out of it"? If so, I feel kind of insulted.

Eventually, after simply not being able to get high via IV anymore unless I got lucky, I did one last big detox (probably at least my 20th, including 2 in-patient ones), went back to my suboxone doctor, and have been stable on a low-ish dose of the sublingual suboxone for several years now.

In my recovery I have been to hundreds of NA/AA meetings and volunteered with harm reduction groups and this concept of "I simply grew out of it" is not a common theme. What is much more common are things like 1) I couldn't stand sleeping outside anymore, 2) I got pregnant, 3) I ran out of vein access, 4) I had a real opportunity to stop using and took it (like rehab or strong social support or job support), 5) I was sick and tired of feeling sick and tired, and so on.

Just to be sure, I am not saying "simply growing out of addiction" via "natural recovery" -- as the article discusses -- is not a thing. It's just not enough of a thing to warrant much attention on. A sincere congrats to the people who grow out of it (and, like I said, I'd like to hear more about what that growth process looked like), now let's help the millions of others who haven't.
Thanks for posting this! I was on mobile and didn't have the time to dig up sources, but the asbestos-in-vehicles incident is one of the specific examples I was thinking of.

The baby formula example that a sibling poster mentioned is another. Where I live the supermarkets have had to limit customers to 1-2 tins of formula each because people were buying trolleys full of it to ship to China, where middle-class Chinese buy it because they can't trust locally sold formula to be safe for their babies.

The argument in [2] that if customers still buy products then everything is fine, when in fact both the immediate client and the end customer are being defrauded, just underscores the mindset behind the problem. Any company (local or foreign) doing serious fabrication in a country like China needs their own comprehensive QC system in place to oversee the entire build process.
I'm not outsourcing morality to the law at all. It's not breaking the law that makes it immoral, it's supporting organized crime that is immoral. That is just one reason why wearing fake watches is immoral.

Even if it was legal to violate trademarks and commit fraud, you'd be paying people who are sneaky, lying sons of bitches.

I guess if even I myself didn't get that from the UI then most probably most of the people out there have no chance to get that either. It would be nice if the UI would somehow convey this information.

Also, the size of that partition is decided by taking into account that the Facebook app will need to fit there. If you hadn't any preinstalled apps then this size would be able to be smaller and then you would get more space on your device for applications which you actually need to use.
Can't read the article for some reason. In any case, I somewhat agree with the title. Obviously it isn't going to be the case for every addict. Using/abusing just seems off-putting after a while, and is a major turn-off. I'm not sure how much this has to do with boredom, or a sense of "I'm clean now, addicts are losers, I'm not a loser any longer".

In my case, it was just a massive waste of a decade for little to no gain other than some momentary feelings of almost-euphoria. It's just so superficial and a kind of escapism, at least was for me.

Anyway, addiction is a lot more complex for generalizations, obviously. I met an older gentleman in rehab who was there for the 50-something time. That kind of put things in perspective for me.

Public market transactions don't change the number at all, because every transaction has a buyer and a seller and the money in is the same as money out (except for a few basis points to the brokers and exchange).

The only thing that moves the number is when the company itself sells stock. So you can add up all the private funding rounds and secondary offerings to get the number you want. Crunchbase has it for most companies including public ones. For example, "Tesla has raised a total of $14.5B in funding over 29 rounds" https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/tesla-motors#section...

I don’t understand how the behavior described in the post raises rents. Clearly demand from investors would raise sale prices, but why would renters pay more to rent in buildings owned by shady oligarchs? Seems like it would just push up the price-rent ratio, which we definitely can see in the data. If anything, that indicates renters are getting a better deal, paying a smaller portion of the capital cost of living in a scarce asset.

Ie. if big city real estate is a particularly good place for oligarchs to park cash illegally, they ought to be getting less real returns then they could get on normal investments like the stock market. If they are overpaying for these properties, they are transferring wealth (on net) to the domestic sellers and/or tenants.
Weird: an asteroid shaped just like Ultima Thule was an important plot point in an awesome Super-8 (very low budget) film from 1981. Found it on YouTube.

Reducing the number of dependencies can avoid many of the problems, and makes it easier to examine the code, as well as less likely to cause problems (of several kinds). Many code has too much dependencies. Whether writing in JavaScript or C or something else, I will usually not use many external libraries; most commonly none at all.
I don't see how your post answers syllogism's question, if anything you seem to agree: "Russian oligarch now has liquid cash". So why is the REIT involved?
> They tell the self-learner that solutions aren't provided because everyone has the ability to know if their solutions are correct without having their work checked. Would you write a complicated program and write no test cases, or could you instantly know your program is bug free the first time you write it? Why is math suddenly any different?

Math is an art of making a specific type of rigorous, formal arguments that are meant to convince, beyond all doubt, another human being that one statement follows from another. If an argument like that fails to convince even the proof author themselves, then you know the argument isn't good even without comparing it to another solution.

In practice, after you've written down your proof, you examine it for weak spots. If any particular step raises doubts or objections then you recursively spell it out in greater detail (or replace with an alternative approach) until eventually all doubt dissipates. At that point you don't need to compare it to another solution.

In fact, as you recognized yourself, your solution is likely to be different from the book author's, so comparison isn't helpful. Similarly, a problem like "write a small application to..." in a coding book or an assignment like "write an essay on..." in a writing book don't include solutions. Code, proofs and essays are all too free-form to subject them to correctness verification by comparison with a standard.

Perhaps what you have in mind are examples. All good math textbooks include worked-out proofs that illustrate the techniques. In fact these are generally the bulk of the book! Perhaps you're asking for more examples. That's fair. Proof problems OTOH should be given without solutions to encourage independent creative thought of the reader and to avoid incorrect implication that there is the single correct solution.

Well, it's obvious it did not fill their need. If you look at the inventor's website you'll see that there is nothing that speaks to that target segment. It's just a bunch of random shots of him using the product. It's obvious that he has no idea what his target audience wants. What's the point of saying you are marketing towards a particular segment and yet you don't work towards marketing to that segment. You don't just say you are doing something. You have to act too.

If that's his segment then I would at least have a website showing how to use the product. I would have some athletes using it too. The demand is not automatic you have to build people's desire for the product.

He should have consulted a marketing expert even before he had his first prototype ready.

I read that Facebook was using the PII disclosed for the purpose of so-called "2FA" for targeted advertising purposes.

https://gizmodo.com/facebook-is-giving-advertisers-access-to...

The paper from website of CS Prof. Alan Mislove:

https://mislove.org/publications/PII-PETS.pdf

Are HN readers concerned about having to disclose more and more PII to advertising companies in order to be "authenticated"?

Recently I heard someone being interveiwed on the radio who studies internet privacy and he was talking about this type of authentication. He was arguing it is problematic for privacy in that it requires the authenticating party to always have "one more" item of PII.

He suggested that the PII disclosure requirements would only keep esacalating and eroding privacy until the user has to "jump through her phone" to prove she is who she says.

I would provide a reference but I did not get his name. Maybe this sounds familiar to someone? Who knows, maybe he reads HN.
The post drew a line between OOP and FP; for that line to mean anything, polymorphism would have to go with OOP. Which is what I meant by raw FP.

France has "refuges", but the word mushes a wide variety of accommodations together. Around Chamonix "refuges" will be full-service hotels sitting above glaciers, resupplied by helicopter. But most of the refuges, in most of the Alps, are just the same as bothies : small, romantic, cold, smelling of smoke and damp limestone, often maintained by a few men who once got up there alone for a whole month to rebuild old walls, and a great place to make serendipitous friends.
