Dishonest by default starts with the little things, the tons of white lies people tell themselves and each other day to day, perpetrating falsehoods which become accepted as truth by enough of their social entourage accepting and adopting these lies themselves, reinforcing each other - see immoral actions from organised structures of all kinds, from religious to governmental to simply a local village society...a classic example ostracizing and disowning a woman who had poor sexual education for falling pregnant...the whole village is behind perpetrating the lie that this is the just and moral thing to do...

How else are by example are some religious societies so far from the teachings of the books they venerate ?

I am talking about the human condition all round, not to specific first world cases. Picture countless struggling working poor, right out poor, and yes also more or less financially successful people.

Usually I would venture growing up poor, working poor, or in other forms of struggle imposed by lets say, a corrupt government regime will tend to put many of those people through a nasty time, this is not conducive to bringing the best out of people or letting good sentiments develop.

An effect of the hardship and stress of these life situations beget substance abuse and other psychological problems which get carried on down to the children through traumatic upbringing.

Most large families are by far to be found in struggling communities, for good and bad reasons...
Do you use ZFS on the desktop too, or something different? I've used btrfs raid on a server before, and it worked apart one incident which took it two weeks (for 4TB of data) to recover from, so I'm probably going to move to ZFS on the next upgrade. On the desktop there seem to be many more tools for btrfs though, like timeshift [0] - effectively Time Machine for Linux.

The idea that European powers move on ethical principles is largely false. You can understand these countries much better when you follow diplomatic and economic ties.

Compare the reaction to Salisbury's murder attempt with the demonstrated involvement of Saudi Arabia's king in Kashoggi's murder.

Now here you have Iran, with it's sponsoring of Hezbollah and Palestinian terrorist activities, who has been involved in plotting terror attacks in Denmark and other ally countries, and is now in a nuclear bomb program for the grace of god, and Europe's best response if first to oppose Trump's isolation and second to try to neutralize it, the way only Chinese and Russians know how to do.

Or see the extremely mild support they have given to Venezuela's opposition, despite it being a murderous regime that has left it's population begging around the world.

Isn't this the best part of capitalism? Someone makes a lightbulb that's super inefficient but gets everyone thinking about the brilliance of candleless light at night. We then spend generations evolving the concept hundreds of times, with a market that rewards these innovations through sales.

Is there a better way to build a better autonomous car? We're at the initial stage of exciting people with an implementation that kind of works. We will now spend generations selling better and better cars with different, fewer, better, cheaper sensors and other parts.

> How is it technically fair? The answer is objectively wrong - you can tokenize XHTML using regexes.

Yes, but that you can tokenize XHTML using regular expressions is not the same thing as being able to use a single regular expression to extract XHTML tokens. Remember that context free languages are a superset of regular expressions. I don't personally know enough about the XHTML syntax to say off the bat whether the syntax can be described with a regular expression, but generally a recursive definition of valid syntax is not possible to express with regular expressions.

> You cannot use a parser, since a parser does not emit tokens but emit the element tree and abstracts away syntactic details like the difference between <x></x> and <x />.

You can use a parser, just not any XHTML parser. The parser would need to be constructed with the objectives in mind, to parse into a data structure that doesn't abstract these details away.

That said, maybe an even simpler solution exists, such as to use several regular expressions to first remove comment and CDATA before matching. I'm not immediately aware of any other cases that would cause problems for the trivial match suggested in the question post.

I have seen one case like this, too. Every week, the customer put a tape into the drive, the machine did something with the tape, but apparently not what it was supposed to do. So when the application running on that machine managed to scramble its (FoxPro) database, they were quite surprised to find their tapes empty. I was really happy I did not have to work on that case. ;-)

The idea that any government moves on ethical principles is largely false. Even strong constitutional guarantees and a democratic form of government only make countries behave slightly better from a liberal international perspective (and yet, that slight difference does matter quite a bit in the longer run). But this is exactly why sanctions on badly-behaving actors can be important.

I assume that a big company doesn't give the experience you to become a CEO. It a huge difference between big companies and start-ups. You don't feel there an atmosphere of a startup. I suggest you start working at a start-up. Because you will see all the issues there: how to get investments; acquisition; activation of users, retention. And all shit that happens there. So, you will prepare yourself as the CEO.

Ask HN: What do modern enterprise data warehouses look like?
I work on a business intelligence team where we're currently running an on premise Oracle data warehouse (relational; Kimball/dimensional model). Its sources include other relational databases, big data clusters and web APIs. We're using fairly current Oracle tools for ETL and reporting (ODI/OBIEE), which actually feel pretty dated in their approach.

What are some examples of modern BI stacks that would facilitate data insight for both general business users and power users? Bonus points for those that will result in big cost reductions to an Oracle stack (can't be too difficult).

Logarithmic backup
>Economists who have done hundreds of studies on different wage markets have found that immigrants create more jobs and raise wages in most cases.

Except of course the low skilled jobs that the immigrants are now doing. Those jobs see decreased wages. Seriously why do you think companies are hiring them if there were no economic gains and in the end they have to pay more to workers? They might not take jobs overall but claiming they increase wages even in the sectors that they are working in? Now that is what I call delusional.

Here's a little write-up from somebody who uses Racket in production in a commercial web product: https://www.greghendershott.com/2018/05/extramaze-llc-using-...
Technological advance is a confounding factor for basically any empirical discussion about economics and standard of living.

Any smooth annual negative impact below the rate of technological advance is very hard to detect due to this.
Racket is such a cool project. I keep telling myself I'll find the time to do something serious with it, but I never get around to it.

One minor bit of criticism - would be it be so hard/expensive to hire a designer to do some minor touching up of the DrRacket GUI? It looks like a toy, and the icons didn't even look good in 1998.

I'll balance this criticism with the remark that any language/platform that manages to a) add, ex-post, a type system, b) fix the Gordian knot of modules and macros, and c) has the audacity (combined, curiously, with humility) to just swap out the entire backend to eek out more performance, deserves my respect. In addition both Flatt and Tobin-Hochstadt give excellent presentations where it's impossible not to notice their passion for Racket. They're definitely among my nerd heroes right now.
Apple revokes Facebook’s dev cert over data-snooping app – Google could be next
I think the key distinction there is - you'd ship the games, and never change them again. What the tests do is let you continually evolve the software over a long period of time. What you need tests for is to give you confidence that chaning system a doesn't impact system b negatively, allowing the software to continue evolving at a much faster pace once you have a good test suite in place.

To everyone who thinks design thinking is just the obvious way to do things, I think you need something to contrast it with. In the same way that we cannot see anything innovative about "agile" without understanding the standard that was "waterfall."

Suppose we wanted to come up with a new product in the "old days". Or you ask an unenlightened person to come up with a product. What might they do?

Brainstorm, would be my first guess. You would brainstorm various products. So let's take the latest thought from @boredelonmusk:

"Eye tracking software that engages turn signals automatically when the driver (who has no regard for other humans and shouldn’t legally be allowed to be on the road or really be part of any modern society) doesn’t."

So there is an idea, and then maybe someone else will come up with another one and another. After that maybe we'll all vote on the best idea.

After that someone start implementing an early version to test. So let's say they mount a helmet on a person and they try to get the eye tracker to work properly. Once they have that working, they will try to get it hooked up to the blinkers.

Once the prototype is out, we'll see if we can mass produce it, and also start market testing.

With "design thinking", you would not start with brainstorming "ideas". You would brainstorm problems to solve. (People not putting on their turn signals). Then you would go out and see if that really is a problem, and maybe interview people. If its not a problem, you would discard it without anyone voting on it.

If you did discover its a problem, you would then test to see if people were interested in an eye tracker. You would do interviews and mockup a product to see if people would even bother to wear it.

Its not "just" thinking. Its a particular habit (a "discipline") of thinking.
They have already done this with Waze. When you stop at a light it will show ads for stores and restaurants nearby.
On a related note, I have the impression many people don't really understand the implications of the halting problem. You often hear the famous sentence, "it's impossible to build a program which decides whether another program holds", and use this as an argument that any attempt at building such developer tooling is futile.

But in fact, the whole proof is based on the self-application problem, where it's roughly analogous to the liars paradox. But the proof doesn't say anything about other, non-"reflective" cases. Theoretically, it might be possible to build a program that makes correct decisions whenever that's possible, and otherwise ends up in an infinite loop (e.g. in the self-application case). I wonder if there are any efforts in this direction; so far I've never heard of it.

Takeaways

- Your data is at most risk from yourself. Other risks such as hackers, burlgars, fire or hardware failures aren't nearly as dangerous to your data as you are.

- Backup is HARD. Have someone else do it.

- Mirroring is fine for one first copy. Whether that copy is raid or just another NAS or something, but there should always be a proper BACKUP too.

- To be a proper backup it should be 1) Write only/snapshotting, so even if you remove all your local files, the deltions aren't mirrored. 2) Have long retention. When you mess up a document you want to be able to notice 2 years later and just fetch that version 3) Be off site so theft and fire doesn't risk the primary copy and the backups.
The whole reason why I did this was because I was playing around with Asterisk and VOIP, and wanted to connect a PTSN line to it (which the OBi device was marketed as), but it turned out I could do everything on the device.

Anyway, at the time I was traveling a lot so had my VOIP number forward to whatever local number I had in that country. That worked great, except on my phone it just displayed my VOIP number as the caller ID, so I had no idea who was calling.

In Asterisk I saw you could set the caller ID, but it didn't work for outgoing calls via my SIP trunk, so I assumed it was disabled by my provider (makes sense). I contacted them, and they said they had unlocked that feature, after which I could make a phone call with any caller ID. I expect there is something fundamental about how the telecom system works that prevents them from blocking these calls, but I'm really surprised at how easy they gave me access to it.
Even the current administration admits that Iran is "technically" in compliance. That means theys fulfil all obligations they have signed up to.

There is no "real" compliance beyond technical compliance. That's just wordplay.

The problem is that the Iran deal is an Obama deal, so it must be wrong, and Iran's compliance is irrelevant.
He also suffered from mental issues and delusions. He experienced visions that weren't drug-induced.

I wouldn't also describe his career as "very long and successful". I think that's quite an oversimplification, as it was far from idyllic. It included a few years without publishing a thing, and a suicide attempt. Plus he struggled with financial troubles pretty much all the way through.
I had this happen eleven years ago, when an integrated hardware RAID controller in a Dell server decided to literally blow up. Oddly enough, despite all the black burn marks on the mainboard, rest of the server seemed to work just okay.

Another identical (hardware-wise) cold spare was already in the rack right below the unlucky one, but it wouldn't accept the transplant license dongle because of service tag mismatch. First I had to install Windows 95 just to run the service tag changer tool and flash the firmware on the spare controller to match the original before it recognized the old disks as an existing array.

In around one week we were back up and running (this was a non-workplace environment so there were no concerned execs bugging us for status updates every fifteen minutes). Had we been using mdraid, we could just have inserted the disks in just about any commodity PC hardware. In hindsight, just restoring the week-old backups would have been easier.

Lesson learned: even if you are using hardware RAID and have an ostensibly identical hardware spare available, it won't necessarily save you.
