That was likely weighed and I'm guessing the answer is that they would introduce a new type under collections, but that the new dictionary makes most sense for users while also currently being faster
I thought Java was both a language and a virtual machine target. You can compile programs written in other languages for it's VM like Clojure.
We already have reaped the benefit with crime. There's very good evidence that phasing out of TEL was a major factor in the drop in crime starting in the 1990's. At that time, people who had been exposed to lead began to age out of crime.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead%E2%80%93crime_hypothesis#...

Lead has an especially bad effect on executive function and impulse control, so I wouldn't be suprised if it had an effect on the behavior of voters in the aggregate and even politicians.
On the one hand, overpriced premium services is great way to finance core services. On the other hand, it gives influential people a distorted view of how most people experience the world. ("Doesn't even know the price of a gallon of milk.")

Also, I thought HIPAA would prevent that behavior.

i3's "scratchpad" alone is worth switching. You can show/hide a floating window on any workspace with a single hotkey. I use Chrome's app mode to launch dedicated windows for frequently used sites (Calendar, Slack, DevDocs) and I can call them up easily. Works wonderfully for native apps, too, like Spotify.

I tried Gnome recently, and although it's very polished, I switched back to i3 because it wasn't nearly as intuitive to drive with the keyboard.

What about the content?

I vaguely try to check for whether someone has heard about things that they say they're interested in. If someone says they love rockets and space stuff, I'll see if they've heard of the rocket equation. If they like computers I'll see if they claim to be able to code.

There's also the other side, people can volunteer that they think vaccination causes autism or they'll ask my star sign.

Satire. Webdev practice. Fun.
Java takes a lot of features from a lot of different languages, but I too remember Java being intended as an improved C++, by keeping most of the syntax, while adding some badly needed features like memory management, exceptions, more consistent standard classes (at the time; it's turned into a mess now) etc.
Sort of... it works with GoMobile but because it doesnt use LLVM there is no support for bitcode which means WatchOS and tvOS are off limits and maybe iOS someday.
Eye candy remains available. One of the things I love about Linux on the desktop is that you're free to use that stuff or not, according to personal taste. And personally, I find that eye candy reduces the space available for text, which is much more information-dense. A screenshot from my machine would look much like the one in the article.
Back in the days of Adam Smith it was known as "political economy", believing the two were inextricable. I should really get round to reading his actual text some time rather than the ideologically filtered popsci versions.

> Well, the efficient markets hypothesis is true, just as much as Newton's law of universal gravity is true.

That's a terrible analogy. Gravity works exactly the same way except in some extremely exotic conditions that none of us will ever experience. The "pockets of inefficiency" in watered-down EMH are so pervasive that we should really be talking about "pockets of efficiency" instead. The physics analogy to EMH would be something like magnetism - a phenomenon that is undoubtedly real and useful, but not really all that common.

This isn't a supply mission, it's a demo of a crewed mission to send people up to the ISS on SpaceX's platform.

Assuming this demo goes well, and a few other things (like an abort test at a later date with the exact capsule that they are sending up to the station goes well), then SpaceX's Falcon 9 and Dragon 2 platform will be rated for human spaceflight by NASA.

There's also a bit of a race going on to be the first private company to send people to space on a rocket. Both Boeing and SpaceX are currently neck-and-neck in the race, and I'm going to guess the winner will come down to a technicality (someone filed paperwork faster, or someone was approved more quickly than the other, or even just the ISS is in the right position at the right time and one of them has their launch date set before the other).
In the U.S. we have a lot of problems that are really socio-economic that are discussed in terms of race. There are historical reasons for this and this is particularly true in the southeastern part of the country. When white people talk about those taking handouts or getting something for free they mostly are talking about poor brown people. This despite the fact that whites - due to being a majority of th population - consume a majority of the welfare. If I talk about poor people in a large city almost everyone will imagine a black person.

There is the perception broadly speaking that white = wealthy and black = poor. Blacks on average are poorer and are more likely to be charged with committing a crime but in terms of numbers most crimes are committed by whites and most poor people are white. In the 90s when Hilary Clinton talked about super predators the images were those of black criminals. When Reagan talked about welfare queens the image given was of a black woman with lots of kids.

I’ve felt that if poor whites in the U.S. stopped thinking of themselves as better than brown people, if they would stop believing the myths and media narratives about race then we’d have universal health care and free higher education. A former President from Texas once said

If you can convince the lowest white man that he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll even empty his pockets for you.
> "People are rational actors." should be number 1 and most of the other points are redundant.

I disagree. The first three points are the most important because they reflect the deepest false assumptions that are most often on display when someone brings up economics around here. To caricature the attitude, imagine someone swaggering in citing "basic supply and demand" to justify some socially harmful action or outcome by saying the laws of physics say a corporation must act that way.
That's the most HN title I've seen in a while.
So most of these projects are all maintained by members of the Mithril team or heavy contributors of Mithril, so you can trust they are created with care and have been thoroughly thought through.

You should definitely join the Gitter chat for Mithril. It's a very active channel and a little lesser known part of the internet where you will get a constant flow of engaged developers of all levels discussing Mithril and also where some of the core team discuss concepts, roadmaps, ideas and drop knowledge.
Considering the fact that most fingerprint readers used on devices aren't very precise, this does not sound secure at all.
I've never used a protector before and I had my first screen breakage just a few days ago. It's repairable, but I decided I wanted a new phone (it's been a while).

I just cannot believe the utterly idiotic designs on the newest phones. Who thought it was a smart idea to put glass on the back? This phone doesn't even do wireless charging. It has no physical requirement to have glass on the back, and yet here we are. My new phone has fallen off the couch twice now -- all by itself. I'm now conscious about how I hold it in my hands because I feel like it might just slither out.

It feels like phones today are designed to be broken easily. So, yes, now I have a protector that makes my brand new phone look like a piece of crap.
I've noticed many programmers have difficulty with nuance and shades of gray on policy or social issues, which are complicated, fuzzy, and irreducible to simple rules. I think this might be a reason why the field has such a strong libertarian presence.

Someone made http://www.thispersondoesnotexist.com , which is an interesting site that shows how good AI is getting at generating realistic faces. It got quite some exposure.

Then parodies started appearing, like http://www.thiscatdoesnotexist.com and this one, and probably a lot of others that I didn't hear about.
Not exactly. There are wealthy black people - but they are a small minority of all black people. There are a lot of poor white people as well, but there are a lot of white people in every economic class. As a result the classification of white == wealthy, black == poor is generally true even though it is just a correlation with no causation behind it.

The problem is complex and simple solutions. Most people discussing the problem want to push their quick fix solution and so do not care to think about how complex it really it. (often vote for me - their opponents would say that they don't want to fix the problem as then they wouldn't get votes)

Don't forget that the USA is a large place with many different cultures. I never saw any race issues when I grew up - I didn't even know the car dealer was owned by a black man until he spoke to our class and said he choose to buy the dealership in this town over 6 other nearby towns because we wouldn't care that he was black and the other towns would. As I get older I now see that things are progressing - some areas faster than others.

Dude, you're seriously overreacting.

I did nothing special, just followed some guide on the internet, it took me days to get there, so nothing cool again.
It's a multi monitor setup, who does a tech job on the laptop-screen-only anymore?

Until I figured out how to setup HiDPI (another thing that on Ubuntu on my home laptop worked out of the box) I had to use the laptop monitor, a 17 inches 4k, with the font size to 24 or it was to small to even read.

Seems to me that a major reason there are fewer small businesses being created is because real wages are stagnant. You need extra money to start a business.
Has this person made a ton of money investing or otherwise deploying their economic theories? If not, then it's likely the falsehoods are on their end.

"Economics is morally neutral."

Of course they are. Unless the author is implying that they are some sort of moral arbiter or religious I'm not sure how they would judge this anyway.

"Economics is racially- and gender-neutral."

Citation needed.

"The efficient markets hypothesis is true."

By all means try to outsmart the market, then come back to us and report your results.
Also reminds me of the ICO websites that were rampant at the peak of the bitcoin bubble.
I didn't want to say anything more than what healthcare we've got is good, and it is despite the budget cuts. If I had wanted to introduce more politics I would have done so explicitly at the end of my comment, instead of a general lament. So I'm sorry if that whas the impression I gave you.

On the other hand, and repeating myself: I do not attribute any political intention to the article at all. How many more times do I have to deny it? You not letting go of this act like some bad actors when doing clumsy manipulation of debates.
It did both. Databases are big scary things to many people. They made it accessible by using a spreadsheet as a user interface.
What about the airline site I need to buy that plane ticket on using Google Analytics? What about the trackers embedded on the university website I need to access to apply for college? You're implying there's a real alternative choice where you can just not go on websites with trackers.
Yeah reminds me of one discussion I had about bakeries wanting the right to discriminate based on religion or orientation back in the news. In pure money it is obviously stupid. However if they value the influence or not it is technically "rational".

Paperclip maximizers technically qualify - their goal isn't for them to be useful or even self-preservation but to get the paperclip number as high as possible.
Thats understandable. Where "This Waifu Does Not Exist" serves as a demonstration of GANs, "This Startup Does Not Exist" is more of a satirical jab on how "disruptive" startup endeavors are really generic efforts that don't amount to anything

Page 9 is central administrative costs, and then, if we put your private expenditure figure into perspective: in 2010 (highest of the series) private costs were €82m vs €69,000m total healthcare costs in 2010. That is a 0.12%
I have only ever been a tech hobbyist, but I have leveraged my Python skills in a similar way. I run a home cleaning service with my wife, and I started using Airtable to track clients, jobs, expenditures, employee hours, etc. The data entry became tedious due to having to make entries in multiple tables for each job, so I wrote a Python script to use a simple command line read-eval-print loop to collect job information and make entries in the appropriate Airtable tables through the Airtable API.

I also use Python to produce paycheck stubs, do simple business data analysis, and email me leads from our website.

A small tangent: I have recently become frustrated with the limitations of a command line interface (primarily the inability to display charts and graphs), but there is a dearth of solid alternatives. Both web frameworks and GUI frameworks add far too much complexity for a solo amateur developer to quickly iterate to meet a small business' needs.

I would love to have a product that let me produce ugly but practical GUIs in Python without having to learn a big framework like PyQT or Django. EasyGUI comes close, but isn't quite good enough.

For now, I update an HTML file to display graphical output in Python and use a Firefox extension to auto-refresh the page on changes.
> You reject this and call it "vague speculation", for which I assume that the alternative theory is that there's a substantial majority of passive income earners at the bottom of society. It's an interesting theory.

It's possible. More economically savvy people = more early retirees. Higher rents could also be a factor (some people might be able to sustain their families with previously worthless property and low wages). Let's not call these people "bottom of society" though. I know a few with 0 wages and 7 figure capital incomes.
These aren't specifically progressive. I know, because I'm not, and I agree that these are all wrong, at least in their most absolutist form.

Where you get political, subjective, and tend to fall into the next layer of oversimplification is when you use these things as premises... "People are not rational economic actors, therefore..." That's when you get in trouble. (Actually, that's one of my favorites... "People are not rational economic actors, therefore other people's irrational-by-definition choices must be substituted for the original irrational choices." What label you stick on the "other people" doesn't change the fundamental nature of the proposition.)

I'd also add something like "economic jargon does not exist and can be ignored". Both "rational actor" and "efficient market" are often conflated to mean something more like "intelligent and moral actor" and "moral market", neither of which work. What they mean in economics is a more mathematical idea, and is related to the plain English sense of the word, but definitely not strongly enough related that you can substitute the plain English meaning of the word and then proceed to do logic on it, let alone substitute entirely different concepts.

To be clear: the point of a scientific study is to provide evidence for a hypothesis, regardless whether that hypothesis is common knowledge or not.
Indeed, _total_ productivity should be compared to _average_ wages. The difficulty is that, at the higher end of income, the distinction between wage, business income (eg consultants), and investment income (eg stock based compensation) is not clear.

This is a terrible heuristic for deciding if someone understands economics. Economics is far more nuanced than that, and it's very possible to be able to show something non-constructively.

I understand what you're saying but in my opinion the statement "People are NOT rational actors" leads directly to "Economics is NOT simple", "Econ-101 is NOT a comprehensive overview of the field", and "Economics is NOT morally neutral".

I implemented something like this on a site visited almost exclusively by developers, assuming that developers must have amongst the highest adblock usage, and that my real visitor numbers according to GA would be much higher.

I saw a boost of about 7-8%. Remember, most adblockers (like Adblock Plus) don't block Google Analytics. uBlock and Ghostery are probably the 2 main GA adblockers, but as a % of adblockers as a whole they're not that large.

It's probably not worth it.
The generated pages definitely are very structured, with each page belonging to a certain area/subject (ie. "Blockchain for Kids" is then presented as "Not just a Blockchain"). A lot seems to be cut-and-paste together, and not a purist implementation of GANs. With that being said, it still is very impressive that these generic page designs can feel like real world examples of what you might see in a pre-seed startup site. The satire hits right on the mark.
