I thought so as well. Nobody would call a python-like language "a python". I understand that the balkanisation of lisp is responsible for the fact that anything s-expr based is called a lisp. But, common lisp and scheme are actual, specified languages.

Something I've read multiple times throughout the years being somewhat curious about nutrition and diets is that the Inuit's would often eat their meat raw.

When eaten raw, there can actually be significant carbohydrates present. The mitochondria for instance contain glucose in-flight that apparently gets destroyed by the cooking process.

At least that's what I've read. It seems plausible to me that one could get all the nutrition they need eating copious amounts of raw animal flesh, drinking the blood, eating the liver, everything.

Tip from a non-native English speaker: if you want your website to be more friendly to an international audience, don't use the terms "sign in" and "sign up", use more distinct terms (like "login" and "register") instead.

Phrasal verbs, in general, are difficult to speakers of languages that don't have them, especially when the same verb has different meanings depending on the added preposition. Someone with a basic/intermediate level of English may have difficulty telling between "sign in" and "sign up". In my own case, I have a good level of English so I know what they mean, but "sign in" and "sign up" always take 2 or 3 seconds for me to disambiguate, while "login" and "register" (or similar) are instantaneuous.
Has Chromium's response been posted to HN yet? I haven't seen it as a headline.
I ditched Chrome 8 years ago, first for Opera and then Firefox once Opera became Chrome. It still has memory issues[1], but overall I'm very happy with it.

[1]: it's probably not plain old memory leaks anymore, but due to using a few long-lived content processes, pages/scripts that leak is an issue. But usually not a huge deal, once one of the processes start using 2-3GB I just kill it, and refresh the affected tabs (coughSlackcough).

Nah, they still can come after you if you prevent new firms to enter the market. (But if you just do the usual regulatory capture the gov. will be just happy for you, as you gave them a lot of busywork for nothing.)
"Taken down" just means that clients get notification that such and such comment is bad. The stock client will remove them and reject them in the future, but there's no enforcement - you can have a client that e.g. completely ignores any such requests. If I understand it correctly, multiple such clients would end up maintaining all those deleted posts in distributed P2P storage, in their part of the network.

So, basically, there's an opt-in "Dark Aether".
Who is the Aether creator in this case?

If that's the Aether-company, we are still at their mercy to change rules around mods etc. any time? so there's not much value in the p2p except they save money on hosting and lure us in with the promise of p2p = independence?
> I know you can do development on Windows but I only see Apple things at those conferences and in meeting rooms.

When I buy a Dell or a Lenovo laptop, I'm confronted with a bewildering range of computers. I can build a machine that works for me in a couple hours, most probably (and I like the dual storage options). When I buy an Apple, I choose size, processor, memory and storage and that's it. It takes 5 minutes (I have to deselect the UK keyboard and order the US one from here). I had top-of-the-line Dells and Lenovos die on me for no reason. I never had an Apple do that since the late 80's. My wife had a MBP in the trunk when the car was totaled in a rear collision. The computer lived the rest of its life with a scar in one corner and a bent ethernet connector (that still worked flawlessly despite the marginally non-standard shape).

I sometimes indulge in server porn - I wish Oracle, HPE, Dell, and Lenovo allowed us to check prices and configure their 8-way servers more easily - just to check what a single node can be configured with, but, when buying a machine to do actual work, I want as little headache as I possibly can, hence my work laptops tend to be Apples.

The OS is also nicer, and that's part of the fewer headaches.

> Decades ago they were going to make a file system more like a cool relational database, that dream died too.

I watched that dream die multiple times. Even if it lived, I doubt it'd perform well in comparison to file systems that do nothing but make sure the files are properly written and quickly read. I like the idea of metadata that can't detach from the file it belongs to, but assigning meaning to it is something that's better dealt with a couple layers above the FS.
That's not how let and const work at all, where did you get that impression?
>to maintain proficiency in building big stages which could be used in military

I guess the grand prize here would be to be able to build a smaller, but equally potent version of the Trident 2 [1] missile. This would allow the Navy to downsize the new class of strategic nuclear subs (Columbia [2]) while keeping their deterrence capability the same. Since the lifetime procurement cost of the 12 projected Columbia class submarines is about $350 BN, this downsizing could be quite profitable.

Perhaps Gödel had a vague notion of what he was up to. Nonetheless, the whole concept of universal computation was still half a decade away and higher level languages several decades. So I think the remark is still essentially accurate. He had to work without all the modern cognitive conveniences such as for-loops and if/else branching.

Why Google won't let you leave a review for Jiminy Peak
In Dec. 2018, Jiminy Peak posted this [1] employee letter, telling resort employees (often <18 years old) that they would be terminated unless they worked during a state of emergency, and no accommodations would be provided.

The picture of the employee notice was posted on Reddit and Facebook in the following hours, leading to outraged comments from thousands.

Some of those people took to voicing their complaints in a review on Google Maps, and their review count soared from 822 to 1,100+ and their score dropped from 4.4 to 3.7.

Then, the next day, Google froze their reviews and began deleting everything after those 822 reviews.

To this day, their reviews remain frozen.

How did Jiminy Peak get such a quick response from Google while other establishments have had to shut down after a controversy that left their reviews devastated?

Will Google re-enable reviews at some point in the future? For now, Jiminy Peak has locked in a great review score.

Did Google notify reviewers that their content had been deleted? Will it reappear at some point?

Thanks for writing this up! I worked with the Knowledge Graph as a contractor at Google in 2013. My manager had a neat idea for adding our own Schema and triples (actually quads) for a specific application.

It surprises me how many large companies do not have a ‘knowledge graph strategy’ while everyone is on board with machine learning (which is what I currently do, managing a machine learning team). I would argue that a high capacity, low query latency Knowledge Graph should be core infrastructure for most large companies and knowledge graphs and machine learning are complementary.
Siri made some effort to be non-gendered, but I think most users still think of Siri as female.
Putting aside the fact that I don't think you're actually disagreeing with the parent, I don't think it's really accurate to say that all programming level techniques of isolation are defeatable. The paper enumerates a specific set of vulnerable language features (e.g. "Indexed data structures with dynamic bounds checks"). The paper doesn't say much about languages lacking these features. Also, I believe retpoline is a (nearly?) perfect software fix for Intel's microarchitecture.

Well, the paper dictionary is one implementation of a dictionary. Conceptionally, a (language) dictionary is a tool to translate words from one language to another. When you implement it, you have to take into account what you can do to make this tool as useful as possible for your user.

Since traditional paper can't change what is written on it, you are a bit limited and simply write down the database in an ordered way to help the user find what he needs.

On electronic screens the concept can be implemented in a better way, so doing it exactly the same way as on paper would be a bad design.

So discussing a given design without looking back to the concept that should be implemented, will often bring you just to a local, but not to a global optimum.

Psychologists are stretching the scientific method to its limits. They are forced to do it due to nature of the target of their research. Scientific method was developed mainly by a physicists who works with a less complex systems. It was adopted then to a chemistry and even biology. But psychology needs more adoptation.

So the answer is yes. They are using scientific method and they are constantly inventing new scientific tools. Physicists tell us that philosophy is dead[1], but it is just because philosophy is dead in physics: physics research now is a settled technology, while psychology needs more powerful methods which do not exist yet. So psychology is searching for this methods and philosophy now lives in the domain of psychology, not in physics.

The funny conicidence: when I searched ddg for reference of Hawking using "philosiphy is dead" as a search term, the first search result led me to news about Hawking, the second to some philosopher who didn't agree, the third one led to Psychology Today, where cognitive scientist argued against Hawking.[2] Though I see his argument as overcomplicated shot in the blue: it is pointless to agrue that physics and philosophy have something in common in the present times.

Expertise in real world contexts (2005) [pdf]
I disagree a bit with the article. The premise is that you shouldn't make login forms behave badly for password managers, and I agree with this. But at the same time, people using password managers are not necessarily the major use case for a site or some software. You should make it easiest for the largest number of people you can, and that might mean decluttering the UI and co-incidentally making it harder for password managers.

Many years ago at a car trade show in Amsterdam a high end luxury car was stolen under the noses of 10's of thousands of visitors and attendants. Thief #1 put a scratch in the paint of the car, thieves #2, #3 and #4 calmly drove a flatbed truck backwards through the crowded tradeshow to the stand of the brand whose car was stolen and pushed it on to remove the 'damaged car' from the trade show floor at the instructions of unseen higher ups. Their major high tech tools to get away with all this was blue overalls with the brand logo on their backs and breast pockets.
You're being consistent with Richard Stallman's model of freedom for general-purpose PCs vs. appliances:

As for microwave ovens and other appliances, if updating software is not a normal part of use of the device, then it is not a computer. In that case, I think the user need not take cognizance of whether the device contains a processor and software, or is built some other way. However, if it has an "update firmware" button, that means installing different software is a normal part of use, so it is a computer.

Many of the objections in comments to this post are expressed in terms of standards compliance or interoperability. I think it makes more sense to analyze whether it's a general-purpose PC or not.

That paper has some wording that is hard to understand, so I think this might be what's causing you trouble. The quote you make from the paper is not the only reason. They give 5 reasons.

- The exposure rates are significantly lower that Chernobyl (earlier in the paper they explain that in previous studies there is a correlation between exposure and cancer rates -- because the thyroid problem rates here are high while exposure rates were low, it is possible that the high rates are caused by something else)

- There is no apparent difference in rates corresponding to proximity to the disaster. Similar to the above, our models would predict that as you get closer to the disaster thyroid problem rates would increase. Because this is not happening, it seems likely that the high rate is due to something else.

- The high rate of thyroid problems was detected mostly in older, not younger children. If the thyroid problems were caused by exposure to radiation, our models predict that younger children would be more susceptible. Because we have the opposite, it is likely that the cause is something else (this, to me, seems one of the more convincing arguments). However, they note that it may just be a case that by chance the younger children may not have developed problems yet and so further study is required.

- Thyroid problem rates in other prefectures are also high (and, in fact higher than in Fukushima). Again earlier in the paper, they discuss this in much more detail. It was interesting to me that even as far south as Yamanashi, there were very high rates.

- The gene mutation and rearrangement rates are different than that of Chernobyl.

From those pieces of evidence, they conclude that the high rates of thyroid problems are likely due to some other cause (many possibilities of which they describe in the paper).

Like I said, I found the wording in this paper to be difficult to understand. It appears to have been written by non-native English speakers (mostly Japanese), so that's probably why. If you read it again, hopefully it will make more sense.
I meant that Germany relies on the US for defense. Not that we directly pay you to defend yourselves.

"We even pay a percentage (~10%) of the construction cost of your bases"

Because that base is the cost of the US military. I think you are focusing too much on the US assets in Germany as the deterrent.
I don't know if this is perhaps different for the Enterprise edition?

I use the Enterprise edition, and while it asks me if I want to reboot to update from time to time, I don't remember it ever forcing a reboot - which is just as well, as I tend to go weeks without rebooting (I just put it to sleep when I'm done, so I can resume the next day).

BTW, if anyone reading this thinks Enterprise edition is only available for large corporations, it's not - you get something like 5 licenses with the Microsoft Action Pack, which is incredible value for what you get.

This is the first time I've seen this and I'm appalled. What business is it of the performer whether you look at your phone? Who's paying whom? Also, wouldn't anybody trying to make an unauthorized recording just bring a decoy phone?

And since we're talking about being reachable, what about that issue? If I'm on call for work and I find that I'm required to put my phone into one of those things, I'm going to be super pissed off, because I'm going to have to go home and figure out how to get a refund. How many people have actually died because someone who's suicidal or overdosing or something couldn't contact a particular loved one in one of these phone-free spaces?

I guess this kind of thing could be cute as like a performance art thing but the company trying to push this for use at concerts and comedy shows is just cancer.
