> China was the size of Russia's economy 20 years ago, now it's nearing ten times larger. ... As Russia's economy goes nowhere for the next decade...

Something doesn't add up here - why is Russia's economy so backward and heavily dependent on extractive industries in the first place? Yes they have a huge landmass which makes extractive industry comparatively easy and convenient, but so does Canada and nobody would describe the Canadian economy as anything less than highly developed and quite competitive. My guess is that there's no real reason why Russia couldn't start growing on a China-like path to ultimately be as highly-developed as the average Western country, and that the lack of any such growth is to do with short-term political stances, not any inherent or outside factors.
The nuclear aspect of the Cold War is something completely different from the rest of the Cold War which is mostly about influence and economics. Once you have MAD, there isn't really much point is continuing the nuclear game especially for intermediate range ICBMs. So I don't get what this is supposed to achieve other than to send a message that we're going into a new Cold War.
Thanks for teaching me this! I wasn't aware. So, the original xattr (and the program that created it) would be deleted and replaced by vi for example. Still technically right, but I'm unsure how you'd keep a history.
Funny, some suggest Occam's Razor is just a paraphrase of Gödel's theorem.
His point is that a car is more like a toaster then a table saw: most drivers are terrible at driving and they don’t care to improve.

Take for comparison a motorcycle rider. A bike forces you to be more involved and most riders have a passion for riding most drivers don’t (most N.America riders are promarily recreational riders, not computers) . As a result air bags (they exist), abs, full body protection and helmets aren’t mandated.

In fact, it’s kinda silly [1] to require a person with a motorcycle endorsement to wear a seatbelt < were he riding with all his gear on the most advanced bike, he’d still be less safe than w/out protection in the worst car.

[1] of course enforcements a whole other issue

I thought they would be at first given its massive number of installs, but VBox isn’t as mission-critical/exploitable for cash as Java is. I predict that Oracle will fully open source it before running audits.
The only thing I've found that is acceptable to me is this: https://mikrotik.com/product/hap_ac2 (or "RBD52G-5HacD2HnD-TC", ... damn, don't they love the long-ass names). 128 MB RAM, Qualcomm processor quad core at 700 MHz (but ARM! :) ) and 5 gigabit RJ45 ports + Dual Band WiFi and a USB port! Plus, even if I can't get OpenWrt to work on it (though I prefer it), I can find my way with Mikrotik's RouterOS. I actually recently setup a PTP link at 3 km with 2 SXTsq's. Though I expected 100 Mbps, it only ended up being 72 Mbps stable, more than that and there's problems with the connection. I liked the old SXT more, you could put OpenWRT on it, the new ones use weird flash memory which OpenWrt can't write to...

edit: forgot to mention, it's 60€ brand new from a friend who works at a WISP

The camera is the least important aspect in getting a good image. With a good lighting and good production even a cheap phone can get a good image.
> Why do you think so?

First, it'd be illegal to do in secret. Second and I suppose more significantly, it would not offer a military advantage over actually having them serve their intended purpose as defensive weapons (which would be useful in any hypothetical nuclear exchange, including a US first strike) and then moving a ballistic missile submarine or two to the Barents sea, or equipping some of the many attack submarines operating in those waters with nuclear-tipped cruise missiles, or some combination of both.
The actual response:

> We’re not willing to ship things we don’t support, sorry. I do not consider it acceptable to ship software that we are unable to test and we know will break. Even if I did consider that acceptable I’d be unwilling to accept the additional support burden that the maintainers have to take on from people submitting issues when they are clearly told not to (something that still happens often).

Clarification beyond that: fixing avoidable user issues is not what most of the maintainers want to spend most of their (volunteer, mostly evening and weekend) time on. Even immediately closing issues as WONTFIX takes more time to deal with than not getting an issue at all.

You may disagree with this (clearly some people do) but ultimately you cannot expect a volunteer run project to support more than they are willing to do. If we had people stepping up and saying "I will deal with all the support requests for this!" that'd be different but mostly we have people who want us to do the work for them.

I'm a bit skeptical of technology in general squashing diversity.

My understanding is that the advent of the 78 record managed to popularize the Sligo style of Irish fiddling all over the world and across Ireland. Unfortunately, it caused a lot of local fiddlers to just hang their fiddle up, resulting in a tremendous die-off of regional styles. I'm also given to understand that every holler in the mountains of West Virginia had their own style of banjo. There was once a central Pennsylvania fiddle style. All of these have largely died out. (Imagine you meet a cosplayer from 200 years in the future, and their conception of "American" is a simplified homogenized mix of all 19th and 20th century American culture of all regions. This is the degree of squashing of diversity I'm talking about.)

Pre the printing press you could pretty much just get the bible hand written. With the early press far more then as you didn't need type setters more again.

Sure, if you only have that one data point, that's what you'd think. There's a lot more to it. Prior to widespread literacy, there was a tremendous amount of oral tradition and storytelling. Back in those days, if you wanted media, the family or community had to produce it, itself. (In America in the 1800s, it used to be the norm for at least one member of every family to be capable of performing at a level that would get one paid today.) Why would you think all of those would have been written down? In fact, people who study these things know much was lost. We only have a smattering of what once was.

In general it seem better tech -> lower costs -> more diverse.

The tech we had in the Industrial Revolution up through the late 20th century wasn't as interactive and capable of gathering data, and so wasn't as good at serving the long tail. So there was a bias towards only a few things that were mass produced, and unless you did a lot of legwork, that's what you got. As technology progressed, you had easier discovery/access, more customization, and more choices. In 2019, everything is preserved, everything is available if you just casually search for it. The world wasn't always that way.
They would after a generation or two when they discovered just how low their ceiling is, along with the rest of of the destroyed middle class
CPython is really quite slow by design. The reference implementation is meant to be obvious and pretty easy to interoperate with C.

I think a RustPython implementation would be pretty cool. You could definitely take that opportunity to worry about performance more than CPython does while also worrying about interoperability more than PyPy does.

Or I'm missing your point and you're suggesting a drop-in replacement for CPython that supports all the same C-based libraries as CPython does.
This article highlights what I hate about financial reporting. Take this quote "If you are expecting to earn a rate of return of 20 percent or higher, it turns out to be a really good tax shelter." Or this one "The difference: ordinary people don’t have access to Medallion, one of the most successful hedge funds of all time."

It's basically insinuating that the techniques Renaissance used are somehow unfair because Medallion has such high returns, as if those returns were anointed by God instead of the work of the people at the fund. In addition, it insinuates that those high returns will go on forever - well, there have been more than few money managers who have seen their years of overperformance decimated by 1 or 2 bad years.

It's fine to argue that a Roth IRA may not be good tax policy for the country, but the only thing "special" about Renaissance is they appear to be better at investing than most of their peers.
You should really update mate. The 54gl is verry slow now and can not run the latest OpenWrt. It's not safe to have a wrt54gl in the wild. If you would like to chek out all the security bugs that have bin fixt just look at the change logs for the OpenWrt releases.
I consulted with a place where they brought in a contractor to do AWS stuff. He spent weeks troubleshooting tomcat on EC2, his resume said he knew cloudformation yet when he was asked to write a lambda function using the tool, I had to do it for him. Knew nothing about troubleshooting Postgres on RDS etc. Fast forward a couple of years and he had a couple of AWS certs and was now being employed by some firms to better implement AWS usage. Myself, have no AWS certs myself but have done migration and large project work for several firms. So I think they can definitely be useful for baseline knowledge. This same person I mentioned above also said the company I was at at the time (a startup) should hire him as an Architect yet he doesn't do any app-level coding etc. So I suppose while the cloud bootstrap work is around for now, I definitely see this type of stuff getting consolidated.
I seriously considered moving to Portland, until I read articles like this one[1] which predicted that Portland would basically be destroyed in a major earthquake.

Instagram was not bought success. It was incredible execution and foresight on FB’s part. Remember that IG was only 10 people at the time, had less than 50mm users, and $0 in revenue when FB bought it.

Credit where credit is due. I don’t think IG would be where it is today without FB.

Incorrect. Russia's violation of the INF Treaty is the next step in a global arms race. The US withdrawal from the treaty is a common sense response, since a treaty that one side is violating is worthless.

That is a popular myth but really the USSR military spending sloped up independent of external factors and while pervasive never moved the needle in terms of political problems.

Far more destructive we’re long term structural problems (inability to provide consumer goods, lack of various sorts of personal freedoms). These had been tolerable in extremis (post revolutionary fervor, rapid growth/modernization, a big war) but increasingly destroyed enthusiasm and then support formhe regime. Low oil prices were the trigger.

Agreed littering is cultural, but if e.g. 1/1000 people do it then it's also very much a function of density. If we're going to increase density we need to be even more proactive about sanitation, trash, noise, and "misbehavior" or edge cases in general (crime, mental health, etc.).

Strongly agreed on alternatives to driving, and I'd throw in "truly accepting remote work" (not just being "remote friendly but you should take a global trip with us every quarter"). We have a global telecommunications network, we ought to use it.

Supply chains, local food, and not overstraining our watersheds are also all key. We'll have to face the reality that some cities are just built in a way/place that they don't belong, at the size they are at least.
What does “the next Deep State” even mean? What do the words “deep state” even mean in this context?
It's not perfect, but this isn't a replacement to the tried and tested, fail-safe method of backing things up.

Any decent safety solution needs to be multi-tiered;

I backup my configs to Git, make a backup of the now read-only filesystem after you've set this up and put it somewhere safe, and when the worst happens, restore to a new card, or build from the backup configs.

I don't keep anything critical on Pi SD cards, that's why losing so many cards has been little more than an inconvenience.

For read-only filesystems, a simple copy of the card in multiple locations, on and off-site is good, for read-write, backups configs to Git, RAID arrays and off-site.

If the system is time-critical, first, I would suggest not running it on a Pi, use something more reliable (I moved my home automation to a NUC because it's more reliable than the Pis were), or, use multiple Pi's in redundancy, even half a dozen Pis is cheaper than a NUC if your use-case supports distributing the load.

Throwaway accounts are ok for sensitive information, but please don't create them routinely. On HN, users should have an identity that others can relate to.

What sensitive information is disclosed in this comment?

One off identities are a limited community resource. If they are used too routinely this becomes a de facto anonymous message board. We know what fully anonymous message boards look like and they aren't pretty. That commons should be saved for situations that call for it and not be wasted for trivial reasons like worrying about one's collection of fake internet popularity points.

As long as Russia is a paltry market with a tiny sphere of economic influence, China will always face the US.
This is interesting. Is there actual research on “hype cycles?” I want to read it if so.
James Simons founded Renaissance in the early 80s (ish). He brought on Robert Mercer from IBM later. Then Mercer took the helm when Simons retired around 2010, if I recall correctly. Mercer himself stepped down last year (likely due to political blowback from the rest of the firm).

So the short answer to what you're asking: yes.
You do not need to dress like a hipster to be 'creative'.
You are right. I was trying to think who might have deep pockets to fund lobbying against genetic testing, that's all. Privacy is definitely a valid concern that I forgot about!
Serious question with no irony at all.
But why? How is this useful?
Also for perspective: Russia’s economy is about the same size as Australia’s (but has 6x the population). This doesn’t give them a lot of money to work with; asymmetric warfare is much more cost effective.
FTA: “If you’re complicit in causing a major social problem, it has become very fashionable to also be engaged in solving that problem. And, in fact, in trying to lead the solution chase.“

This is interesting, I wonder if teams within McKinsey working on different sides of the issue were aware of each other.
I think touch is a generic example, but not a practical one. The idea is that program A can launch program B, and you'd have to recursively search for the parent. But it's not easy to find which parent is the true owner, maybe an exception can be made for init but shells can't have that exception as they are sometimes the owner.

Problem is, people of age 50+ will complain about working on unethical stuff like keeping people hooked to a feed of stupid videos, or tracking them across the web. In contrast, 20-somethings will either think it's cool, or they simply need the money.
>There are advantages to running the same language on the server and client

I see this said quite often. What are they?
True, I would qualify that with 'fiscally speaking', or also 'given regions you would be willing to live'.
This is wonderful. This could become the best way to move Python projects to Rust: initially just run on the RustPython interpreter, but then optimize low level routines in Rust. In 15 years I wouldn't be surprised if this or something like it surpasses CPython in popularity.

Still, no discussion about Python implementations is complete without some mention of the infamous GIL (global interpreter lock). :-) CPython has it, Pypy doesn't (I think) (EDIT: yes it does), Jython doesn't, etc. What is the GIL plan for RustPython?

No, that was my point basically, although I could imagine something like this shipping with some basic libraries and package support, and then having a similar ecosystem to the current python ecosystem.

I agree this may be true today, but the example I have cited come from the 60s and the 70s. For contex, divorce became allowed in 1970 (a 1974 referendum unsuccessfully tried to repeal that law); abortion was a crime until 1978 (again, a 1981 referendum failed to repeal the law). Same-sex unions have only been introduced in 2016. So, even though religious sentiment may be weak, the Italian cultural and political landscape is hugely influenced by the views of the Church.

As an aside, reading the Bible has never been a strong part of Catholic religiousness anyway, due to the fact that biblical exegesis has been historically (ie. until Vatican II) reserved to the clergy. There are indeed other forms of devotion, like the rosary or the liturgy of the Hours, which are more or less frowned upon by more "secular" people.
You're completely ignoring the power relationships involved here. Racism isn't just being selfish or rude towards people of another race, it's an entire political system that props up a certain group of people over another, and it pervades every aspect of our lives. Very very few white people believe, for example, "white people should have more wealth than other groups and that is good", yet they implicitly support a political and economic system that creates that outcome. They deny that whiteness is even a factor in their success or their politics, or they even incorrectly believe that white people are the ones that are worse off.

>However, it's worth considering that any politically and physically feasible[1] amount of development might not satisfy the latent demand, nationwide, for a house in San Francisco. It is not inconceivable that there are literally 2 million people in the US that would like to immediately move to SF if housing prices were in line with, say, Minneapolis or Denver.

On the one hand, I really don't like San Fran and don't want to move there. On the other hand, well, NYC is eight million people.

None of my artist friends who were born in SF can afford to live there any more. My techie friends are starting to move out because it's getting less affordable for even them, or because the only people left of their circles are other techies.

Seattle's going the same way, rapidly. I hope nobody who works for Amazon or Microsoft decides to follow me when I leave this town for the place I grew up, because tech money sure does not trickle down very far and I would like to be able to pay my freakin' rent without whimpering every time I do.
I got to work with one of the first Itanium machines back in 2000 working as an intern. My job was to port Perl to IA-64. It was an amazingly fast machine - like living a few years into the future.

I can see why it failed to gain mass traction, but that’s a shame. IA-64 was so innovative.
Fair, maybe I shouldn't do this. FWIW, it's actually rather the opposite - I'm not concerned about my points collection. I have no collection, and almost never comment or participate in these things. I just prefer not having a persistent "identity" for this sort of thing, but acknowledge that most people with that preference offer more noise than signal. Perhaps I should just go back to "never."

"The study group was additionally treated with a series of 15 daily visits to a cryogenic chamber"

So, the controls should also be treated with a series of 15 daily visits to a chamber that is simply the same temperature as its surroundings.

Having 15 daily visits worth of contact with study personnel, in a chamber that exists for a specific purpose, may have a big impact, regardless of temperature. But you won't know unless you use a proper control.

Thanks, but using "WTF" in a title is unprofessional. If you wouldn't include it in the title of a research publication, you probably shouldn't include it in a TDS article either. After all this isn't your personal blog that you've published it on. I'm writing on behalf of the hundreds of users in my community who follow TDS articles; they expect decorum.

I have seen this in a prior article from you too where you used &%$*# in the title. The same logic applies. You say you "want to help", so please do. I am not a prude. I use swear words too, but only when no one else is listening.

Thanks, BTW, to the person who edited the title for us on HN.
