When I first moved to Japan I was shocked at some of the food shows (of which there are millions on TV). It seemed that animals are either cute, poisonous, or delicious. In retrospect I think you are right, though. I've never lived in a culture that didn't have those kinds of demarcations. When I was in the UK several years ago they had a horse meat scandal where it was determined that most of the most popular prepared "beef" meals had substantial amounts of horse meat in them. "Finally", I thought, "People will realise how delicious horse meat is". Nope.

I once did a workshop on culture and common sense. It was in Japan and 50% of the audience was Japanese while 50% were from an English speaking country. I asked them to split up into groups, again 50-50 and debate what is better: standing up to take a shower or sitting down to take a shower (Japanese people tend to sit on small stools while showering). I had to break it up after less than 10 minutes because people were about to come to blows.

Common sense is the thing that people use when they don't actually have a reason for something. It's heavily influenced by culture and sometimes there is absolutely no justification for it. It's just the way you do it. When you ask why you do it like that, the answer is always "It's common sense". If you push and try to get a reason, people will come up with reasons, but are often surprisingly aggressive in their responses. Counter acting that cultural common sense is like a personal attack to many people.

Most people I know (from any country) value animal lives. However, they often express that in bizarre ways if you look at it logically. It's that cultural common sense. Would you put a glue trap down for a mouse and have it dehydrate to death (unbelievable suffering)? Would you do it for a kitten? There's no real reason for the difference. Common sense short circuits our reasoning, unfortunately.

I agree that no one should be tortured and murdered, but my point still stands because Americans are so apathetic to the suffering of convicts (and suffering of anyone in general). Most probably assume people in jail deserve to be there. There may be some convicted people in jail, true, but then it becomes a multi-purpose facility that's both jail and prison.
Are you using the slowness of Python's `struct` module to prove that binary formats in fast languages are slow?

I've benchmarked Capnp Vs JSON for Modern C++ in C++, and Capnp was something like 8 times faster.

If you're struggling with JSON performance how is moving to a binary format like Capnp (or Flatbuffers etc.) not a better solution?

The predicate for this dates back a long way. I believe UBS were offered an initial sum of $1.1b to settle a few years ago and took it to trial [1]

> The judges’ move followed a failed plea bargain between national financial prosecutors and UBS representatives, the first time such an out-of-court settlement was tested in France. French magistrates reportedly offered UBS to settle the case for 1.1 billion euros ($1.2 billion), after considering an initial deal of 2.2 billion euros ($2.4 billion). - 2017

However the basis was

> The assets illegally concealed by French clients in Switzerland between 2004 and 2012 allegedly amounted some 10 billion euros ($10.75 billion).

Another quote puts it at $600billion[2]

I'd love to know the definition of "illegally concealed" in these circumstances

The chances of it being reasonable I'd consider very slim; France is not a reasonable country nor is it run by reasonable people. France is a failing protection racket running out of people to shake down, by and large. When the people who run the socialist party government budget are offshoring their wealth - perhaps your country is fundamentally broken.[3]

One of the things democracy struggles with is balancing the interests of the rich against the interests of everyone else. Because the rich have far more time and money to spend on persuading others to vote against their interests.

Relying on a partially captured government to set the right price is dangerous in this case.
Would it be possible to make a native module out of this for node?
Because most implementations are reasonably efficient. Swift default one is apparently not.
We take your privacy seriously is the kind of language you'd expect from a company that doesn't want to make specific commitments. That company isn't putting any skin in the game with that claim; every company claims that.

Therefore I am not surprised and won't be holding my breath.
Well, the wood isn't going to rot if treated and kept dry enough. What's more worrying is how (if) the wood will warp over time, with expansion / contraction due to temperature differences, etc. And how that compares with concrete.
Please do not do #2.

Rather, unknown destinations need to remain unknown. (by this, I mean secret trails, waterfalls, beaches, etc). I think locals should take steps to protect them, including removing trail markers and trash, and refusing to talk about them. Erase trip reports from the internet, and actively fight to keep them secret and protected. Problem is, any possible "cool thing" is economically exploitable--and the economy absolutely will exploit it in the end.

For #1, you realize that the same problem applies right? Economic incentives are all completely against this.
happy to admit my c++ experience is very, very old. I totally understand that things have changed. But even back in the day, libraries could do stuff that hid 'new' from me. Heck, java libs will call 'new' all the time. the same goes for c/malloc

I can cope with accepting a library that does god knows what. but my code, i can see stack/heap split. perhaps it's a security blanket. perhaps it's pointless.

this insight is actually really helpful. in some cases i care, in some cases i turn a blind eye. maybe writing good go means i turn a blind eye all the time. unless i need to inspect the escapes - which go provides good tools for. _chin scratch_

Thanks.
Note: USA-specific

Not even 20 years ago, before any number could be ported to mobiles, landlines in some (all?) Baby Bell regions had their prefix determined by geography. In other words, you could know what "zone" a given phone number was in by its prefix.

Take Silicon Valley. A (650) 960-xxxx number meant Mountain View. (408) 733-xxxx meant Sunnyvale. Etc.

Zones roughly respected cities, but boundary conditions abounded. If you lived near the Mountain View / Sunnyvale border, you could be in area code 415 (later 650) or 408.

San Jose had 3 zones. Cupertino was part of SJ1. Fremont / Newark were lumped and spanned 2 zones. Milpitas was part of SJ2. etc.

You were only guaranteed a local (non-toll) calling area of something like 8 miles, but Pac Bell would give you all of the zone overlap: if any part of your zone was within that 8 (?) miles of any part of your destination zone, it was a local (free) call. This meant your actual local range could extend 20+ miles.

I set up PC-based call broadcast systems (the vendor product I used was "BigmOth" for some membership organizations such that I could send a recorded message to whatever numbers in a given member roster. By placing two parallel systems in, say, Sunnyvale and SJ3, I could cover everywhere from Menlo Park to Los Gatos to Coyote to Fremont Newark zone 1 with no variable phone costs.

So, I set up a table in my database to join prefixes to zones, and my program went through the contacts and routed each destination number to the appropriate calling phone book (I rewrote the phone books after every batch of database updates). I had one system in my house, and a colleague had one in his in SJ3. I'd just uploaded his share of the phonebooks and the message recording binary to his ftp site, leaving him maybe 10 minutes of work for each cycle's setup.

Thus, I could blast 2-minute messages to members over a 200+ square mile area for free.

It was really slick. 10 years later, it was irrelevant, as everywhere became a free call.
Not everybody has that preference.
Wait, exit points, page views, bounces… Can't you measure these just from the server's log? I don't think you need to track an individual's navigation pattern and store a cookie on their machine to crunch these stats.

You're looking at it the wrong way.
The question is not what the odds are of a given professional and highly respected woman lying/having false memories. The question is what are the odds of such a person existing.
Here's a a scenario with made up numbers where you can insert your own:
Imagine your starting population is 60 million, assume only 1 in 100 are very passionate. Assume that only 1 in 100 very passionate people are willing to lie and drag their reputationa through the mud to fight a great evil. Assume only 1 in 100 of those people are respectable.
That still would leave 60 respectable people willing to lie and fight hard in order to fight a great evil.

Yeah, Java necessarily `news` stuff, I believe it's the only way to instantiate classes (ignoring factories).

Cross-laminated wood is apparently very stable.

People also ask about fire resistance, but the outermost layer gets charred which then protects the inner for quite some time, compared to traditional steel beams where the heat makes the steel soft. So even though the steel doesn't burn, it needs special fire protection to stay stable for long enough for people to evacuate.

The tragedy of systemd is tight coupling. What makes Linux great is that I used to always have a choice - regarding what kernel I use, what editor, what shell, even what Init I use... Systemd changed all that. Distro makers gave up supporting alternatives because it would mean too much work. (I almost flipped out when I read somewhere they had to do it because of some Gnome-related component... I mean I don't care about Gnome, I don't even use X, but I have hundreds of servers to manage - now let's change everything because one guy said it's the only way...)

Nobody would make what Lennart did if we had a choice. Those who liked Systemd would use it, and the rest would use the init of their choice. As simple as that.

Anger is just a stage. Carry some small trash bags and pick up a little. Hand some bags out. If you see someone litter, go pick it up yourself and then look them right in their face and smile, say nothing and move on.

I've found that people are reluctant to litter on a clean beach yet unthinkingly do it if the beach is already visibly trashy. So the strategy is to get a beach clean enough where it is obviously not OK to trash it. People will get it.
As another indian, I disagree with your stark negative characterisation of the indian judiciary. While I do agree that there are corrupt judges, and judges who acts as puppets for their political masters, this is a phenomenan common with every country (with varying degrees, and we in India perhaps do have it worse than others - a reflection of our very confused society currently going through a cultural and political disruption and change).

On the flip side, the higher courts of our judiciary do have eminent jurists, who are respected internationally. India is considered to have the most powerful judicary in the democratic world. And in my opinion, they have used this power judiciously to make more far-reaching changes to empower our democracy than abused it.

I do have criticisms too (for e.g., I don't like the idea of judges appointing judges as it upsets the delicate balance of power between the executive and the judiciary), but I recognize that despite their shortcomings they do a pretty decent job - in fact much better than most judiciaries of the developed democratic world when it comes to protecting the rights of indian citizens.

You worded it such that it referred to yourself. You can't argue using other people's experience.
There is a middle ground between "labouring hard" and not doing anything remotely strenuous during your average week.

That's amplified by our new calorie dense diets that were not available before.

Don't downvote the parent - he's just pointing out that meanings of words depend on the context. If you look at it strictly in SCOTUS context, and use the dictionary definition of "conservative" rather than treating it as a partisan political label, a "conservative" judge is the one that tries to introduce as little innovation as possible - i.e. an adherent of originalism and textualism. Conversely, then, a "liberal" judge is the innovator, the one who actively seeks new meanings.

can we design a system which provably can not be manipulated by the status quo (youtube and others) to cause these issues? in theory YT could be poisoning the well with porn, some of its own lesser random videos; in order to arrange copyright violations; analyze and exploit the lack of language filtering etc...

I am not claiming the status quo is proven to be the cause of these issues, but I do claim that I know of no proof which proves the system to be resilient against such manipulation. Perhaps if one succeeds in designing a system that is provably resilient in some sense, the problems would automagically disappear?

Even factories. Java puts everything on the heap. There's no on the stack object.

Java and go are both pass by value. Java makes it easy, because i know everything is a pointer to a thing. I (unreasonably?) freak out about go because i don't understand when an array backing a slice change. I'm just chalking it up to me being old and dumb. Seems hard to track, but tons of people do it, so the issue must be me.

* if a SIM card holds multiple phone numbers, they are from the same country.
Not a racial paradise, but a relatively young place where there is less adherence to that stuff. LA riots were a long time ago. Largest white supremacist population? So what's that mean, a few thousand?

My high school had what was labeled as a race riot by some media. [1 for a link to the event] On the other hand, looking past a shitty week, that high school was incredibly diverse, and I'm thankful I got to hang out with a mix of people.

Maybe the subset of friends I had at the beach was sheltered, but that place was global. Friends from Iran, Russia, white, black, Asian, you name it. From millionaires to homeless.

So yea, I'm pretty thankful for California. There are still barriers, but I think they're a lot lower out here.

Yes, the other is "mob rule" and there are crucial differences. Historically a strongman is summoned as an excuse to end mob rule (real or imagined) resulting in an authoritarian government. Napoleon, Franco Mussolini are some examples.

In the cases cited, a group is over reacting to signals interpreted as historical oppression. It's awful when it happens and unfortunately it always will. Emotions at injustice are going to break windows (and worse) without thinking and sometimes at the wrong target.

Of course the issues are real and need to be discussed and criticized. But fortunately stories like Evergreen State College are rare, certainly not anywhere near the level of 1960s university sit-ins and even those were certainly not a national catastrophe of censorship. And Twitter storms are not oppression, they are just people being wrong on the internet. They are the inevitable result of ridiculously bad platform design.

So while events like Evergreen certainly need to be criticized, the more serious threat is that this is being systematically used by cynical parties in a dangerous way to portray a nation plagued by oppressive mobs who need to be put in line. Excuses that will spread to harsh treatment of protesters and a pattern that has occurred many times in the past.

I wonder how on Earth this submission got so many upvotes.
This is a mean free path computation and everything is spheres (except the skier who is probably a point source).

What you've missed out is that a physicist would need to derive a collision cross section for a typical tree-sphere. That may be as complex or as simple as you like. The simple limit would take into account the trunk diameter and tree density within the forest. But perhaps the skier is particularly agile and can avoid most trees, so the cross section is smaller.

You could add other particles and cross sections, eg the bear in ski free.

>First principles apply very well to our nice toy models, but the sheer vastness of existence usually out-scales our toy models very quickly.

That said, this is how a lot of simulations in astronomy work. You take a bunch of physical laws and apply them at scale on millions of particles.
Ask HN: How Do I Find a Non-Technical Cofounder?
I'm a capable full-stack engineer with 2+ years CTO (non-founder) experience, I've worked on multiple early stage start-ups across a range of sectors and I have an effectively infinite financial run-way.

I want to found my own start-up. Unfortunately I don't feel like I have any sector specific knowledge - I'm very much a tech generalist.

I'd love to meet someone who has spent X years in a certain industry/sector, understands it well and has an idea they want to execute on.

Where do I meet someone like that outside my personal network? My first thought would be to apply to somewhere like EF (entrepeneur first).

I've also thought about searching AngelList for people "looking for cofounders". My concern there is that the signal:noise ratio would make it very hard to filter the genuinely intelligent people from the jabronis.

Do you guys have any suggestions?
