You would be surprised how many people have gone trough their life without experiencing real hunger.

I was doing short weekend hike with a friend and the shop we intended to visit was closed. We had to walk six hours without eating. My fried started to panic and would have called emergency services because he was feeling so weak that his hands started shaking. I had to explain it to him several times that if you sit down for a 15-20 minutes the shaking goes away as the body converts fat to glucose. He was convinced that he would die from walking hungry. Yes, physical exercise while hungry sucks, but you don't die in several days.
Sure, but no one is claiming private companies can't hurt you. That's not what this is about. Note the specific term used: the government can kill you. It is the sole arbiter of what's legal in its domain. The first amendment doesn't exist to protect you from being shamed or embarassed for what you say. It exists to keep you from being jailed or murdered to censor the voice of the people.

So no, it's not "utterly nonsensical." Everything you're bringing up is completely orthogonal to the political theory of freedom of speech.
This. While not 37, the projects I work on, on any given sprint I can be doing some combination of C#, Python, C++(oooold C++), Java, JavaScript, Perl, BASH or PowerShell. I actually love it because I am not doing the same old thing day in and day out.

Free speech is a general society convention, omnipotence doesn't exist.

That's possible, but it's also why the question is useless - if we want to draw out a line long enough where it's inevitable, it's also entirely possible that for whatever reason human advancement stops before then.
Really? Because I continue to be more and more amazed by Google Translate everyday. It gets subtleties and strange things right that I never thought a computer translation system could get right. I'm an ESL-speaker, and I think certainly the translation I can do to/from English to my mother language is going to be inferior to Google Translate any day of the week, ignoring completely the fact that I take a _LONG_ time to do translation and Google Translate does it in a second
This is something I've wondered about. Is the particle and wave idea just a calculation model or does that seem to be how things are actually constructed?

For example, the Bohr model of the atom probably doesn't reflect how atoms are but 100 years ago (and in high school today) it's a useful model.
Banks operate under a ton of restrictions. Such as Dodd-Frank.

It's pretty ironic that the solution for being "too big to fail" was to make the banks even bigger while also placing restrictions of many types of trading.

What should have been done is just remove the FDIC insurance and let banks do whatever the fuck they want. The only way to learn that risk management is important is if you see some of your competitors as road kill on the side of the road.
Ask HN: How do I auto buy domain names?
Hello, I'm wondering how to automatically by domain names. It seems like there are companies that swoop in and buy them faster than the manual process. I can't seem to find a reliable way to buy them automatically.

Anyone have more insights on this?

What is hate speech?

We all (hopefully) agrees that hate speech is immoral and bad. But once you attempt to define it, and even more importantly, once you get specific and try to police it you will learn how slippery that slope is.
> I would appreciate better naming on the variables. Some of this is hard to read through with single letter names

Single letter variables are perfectly OK in a mathematical context such as this one. They are arguably better.

The code would be much clearer, however, with lots of comments on what each variable means.

Meaningful variable names that are used more than once break the "do not repeat yourself" rule.
This is a reasonable list and matches my experiences so far.
But I have yet to meet somebody, who combines all those traits.

Learning a language as an adult is a different story.

This isn't a no-true-scotsman, either, because I posit that there are quite a lot of 4-year-olds who match my description.
Obviously a trained translation system is better than a four year old that doesn't speak a different language, but a four year old is probably better at translating language she does speak.

It's actually quite amazing how bad computers are at language considering the more than half century of research in the area. I tried to set a reminder in Siri: "Pull the briefs." Garbage. After several tries, I tried "download the briefs." Garbage. Siri couldn't even recognize the words I was saying, much less actually do the thing I asked.

Should You Build or Buy Software? – A 4-Step Decision-Making Process
"--and then wrap it up in fancy English to make the FTC happy."

The wool is being pulled over 0 peoples (in power) eyes. Everyone (again, everyone with power) knows what is going on, including the FTC.

MLMs target those particularly vulnerable to their pitch. They leverage their information asymmetry (almost everyone will lose money in a MLM to the benefit of those above) and as you say, hide what the reality of what the "business" really is with lifestyle fantasy and rhetoric marketing.

I consider myself maybe a little smart in a few very specific areas - that has not stopped me from being outsmarted or taken advantage of at times I and think this is true for most people at some point. Labeling victims as weak minded is a simple way of dismissing the wrongdoing done by MLM actors with far more resources and power than their victims.

What they do should be illegal, and the simple reason it's not is MLMs donate lots of money to lawmakers.

The US does not have a rail and wider public transportation culture that is prevalent in 99% of the world. Predictably the discussion here will be preoccupied with the kind of 'metrics' that other countries that take for granted they exist and are run for the benefit of citizens do not need to have. That is a wide ideological divide.

The US seems to want to run a business for 'consumers', not a country for citizens. Part of this culture has leaked to some countries via the classic neoliberalism playbook of demonizing government services and public infrastructure, defund, create chaos and sing the praise of privatization to transfer resources and business to the private sector. All these experiments have failed miserably to deliver better services, promised efficiency or costs savings. Notice the absence of economic studies and wider dissemination of these failures compared to the ever flowing 'economic studies' demonizing public services and government. No one to fund it.

On the other hand public spends that benefit business like subsidies, bailouts, a wildly excessive military industrial complex do not generate the same ideological fervour. Think tanks, economists and the business press do not talk about inefficiency and size of the public workforce when it comes to the agricultural subsidies regime, bank bailouts, corporate freebies, the massive security state and endless wars and its attendant inefficiencies in the pentagon, NSA, TSA, in this case its 'grin and bear it'. Why does the NSA need to spy on everyone, how much is it spending, how many workers does it employ? How much does the TSA cost? Lament but make no changes. This is not how a democracy works.
I think the point is that if you're advertising it, you're trying to either hide something or you only want to hire people who put those things higher on the list than everything else. Some people want to work in an atmosphere where playing foosball all day is cool. Some of us feel that shouldn't be a primary draw.
> People are more likely to tell you about how they think something works when they are correcting you than when you ask directly for help. No clue why that's a thing, but it is.

While some of that might just be people's enjoyment at telling other people they're wrong, I think it's actually often something else. It's just easier to _respond_ to something than it is to start with a blank slate.

The question "How does this work?" is a blank slate. Even when asking it for yourself about a gigantic new codebaes, you form hypotheses and then 'test' them in some way, as you say, "testing conclusions". When you give someone a theory, you've just given _them_ a 'conclusion' they can 'test' against their own domain knowledge. :)

Obviously known-intelligent life would be a priority, but if they can't get around to the lower priority stuff in 2.5 billion years, well, why should we take the Dark Forest argument any more seriously than any of the other civilizations we've cruised by in the past 2.5 billion years?

The amount of energy available to even a single solar system, let alone all the advanced galactic civilizations that are supposed to be out there, dwarfs what it would take to sterilize Earth. And don't think I'm underestimating that quantity; it's larger than any impact real Earth ever sustained, and it has sustained some doozies. But what's in even a small star, even in a small star's yearly output, is orders of magnitude larger. And this is with the relatively expensive brute force method too; if you're willing to roll the dice on the target not having intelligent life a few steps above where we are now, you could probably put together a gray-goo-esque replicator that would conclusively eliminate any civilizational threat from a given planet permanently, for the cost of delivering a few kilograms of payload to the target system, which is presumably trivial for our advanced civilizations.

As I said, I'm still pretty much on the "yeah, we're probably effectively alone" side, because when you really treat the "the universe is full of advanced intelligent life" idea seriously, you just don't get what we see in our sky. Not least of which is the wide variety of ways in which we simply shouldn't exist, because our ecosystem should have been wiped out one way or another, be it by raw destruction, or simply interaction with some other much more advanced ecosystem that simply steamrolled Earth's primitive life the same way we steamroll an ant hill, a billion years ago. Just about the only way to save the hypothesis is that we are the "Progenitors" and the universe is full of intelligent life if you look at a random place and time, it's just that the "full of intelligent life" hasn't happened yet. If the universe as a whole is full of intelligent life, there still has to be a first set of civilizations, and while every individual in those civilizations may rationally say "the odds of me being here when the universe is empty are as good as zero", there still have to be some "lottery winners".

In fact, most studies are funded either by governments or via donations from the public. Some public studies are partially funded by industry, but with a big caveat: industry has no say on how the studies are conducted, or even what is being studied: industry contributions to public research are not bound to research outcomes. And all this information is readily available, since publicly funded research institutes publish their funding sources.

It’s true that industry is funding some (publicly published) research directly, and that some research publications fail to disclose their funding source and other conflicts of interest. But for the vast majority of biomedical research, especially fundamental research, this simply isn’t the case.

And it requires a complete suspension of one’s critical thinking capacities to imagine that some vast, weird conspiracy encompasses all of public research, to suppress the “truth” that Ayurveda works, contradicting everything we know from modern medicine as well as basic physics and chemistry. And all that just to make a few pharmaceutical company bosses rich? Why would I, lowly researcher on a sub-par salary, contribute to such a conspiracy? It’s completely irrational.

That’s a strange framing, I’m not sure I understand what you mean. The reason for WebGL is much faster graphics for me, I don’t ask why because I want GPU in the browser. Which third party are you talking about? What does the expense of a component have to do with anything? If you’re assuming a malicious GPU computation done without the user’s intent, maybe state that assumption, but that’s not what the parent thread was talking about. I’m certain that if GPU abuse were to become a thing, the browsers will immediately deny default access and request user permission, just like with audio. In the mean time, you can currently turn off GPU access in your browser settings if you’re afraid of something.

My New Project: Emiut.com
Emiut is a men's clothing search platform for men that are not interested in fashion like me.

Could please give me any feedback? It's focused to only a casual style at the moment.

Do you want to know why this idea?

Back to 2007, Milan, Italy
My former colleagues in IBM were started asking me style advice after few weeks I have started my new job.
I was very embarrassed for that and one day I explained them my feeling and they told me: why you don't create for us a Word file with the main men's style rules to follow? What???

I was working as SAP consultant and at home writing the style file. So after a week I finished it.
They started telling me: Hey Emidio you should sell it! It's simple, useful and works very well in particular with women and girls.

After they and my best friend Patrick challenged me, I created a draft of a real book. I sent it to few editors and two of them were interested in publishing it.

In 2009 the book has been published and it got reviews from the main magazines and newspapers.

After I moved to London, in two years I created a men's style iOS App (Emiut app attended the Techcrunch Disrupt London) with an Italian developer.

The App didn't go well like the book.

After three years working as E-commerce manager for a fashion start-up I came back to the Emiut project with a new idea.

New Idea, London 2019
Helping men, in particular not interested in fashion, to shop selected clothing from brand stores in one place.

I read an interesting article about this a while back.

Something distinctive about the Japanese rail culture is that they build lots of communal facilities right next to their stations. For example, people routinely stop and do their shopping on the way home from work, even though they're getting home by train (though this idea isn't just about shops).

Compare that to typical Western railway stations, where a huge amount of the prime real estate right next to the trains is used for giant car parks, and you can see that the success of their model is no accident. Of course, we couldn't trivially adopt the same strategy in the West. Unlike the Japanese, we haven't been designing our towns and cities around this principle for a long time, and as the parent comment notes, we also don't have the same density. That means we do need ways for people to get to the station from the surrounding area.

Often good alternatives to the car are still lacking in the West, which then creates an unfortunate chicken and egg scenario. But that doesn't mean the Japanese model isn't potentially better than ours, if only we could find a viable path from one to the other.

If you're doing any kind of graphics work, the GPU is actually the less "expensive resource" as it will do it faster and more efficiently.

Any kind of <canvas> work, graphs/charts, browser games, animations, and video all will perform better with some GPU assistance. The alternative is run everything on a CPU and get a more limited experience and have your CPU maxed out to 100% a lot more.

If you use an IDE, learn and exploit its code-exploration features. Use them all the time.

Do global searches whenever you aren't sure how things work. If they aren't fast enough for you, get an SSD. Use them to look for all kinds of things to convince yourself your change is safe.

Add comments as you figure things out. For example, "this algorithm seems to match the one at /src/core/foobar.js:123".

You can also add "DEBT" or "REFACTOR" to your IDE's list of TODO tags, and use it in comments where you see something you think might need cleaning up. If you mark these places now and change some of them later, you'll avoid doing damage; you'll get a chance to learn more before changing things.

Put ticket numbers (Jira, whatever) in your comments too.

Think "dig safe". You're spraying painting warnings near significant opportunities to break things.

The issue with that approach is that you’d multiply the number of sacrificed animals by 3 (or 4, did you forget a breed?), for limited gains in insight. Your approach would be a lot more defensible if it didn’t involve killing vastly more animals, and a fairly large increase in research cost. These things are always a balance, and there’s no evidence that always using your approach would be worth it.

It seems they this kind of system would benefit from a more user friendly interface; however, I don’t think all decades old software necessarily needs to be uprooted and replaced because it’s old, so long as it’s functional.

BaRT, I wonder if they’ve upgraded their system software to more modern software? They certainly could add more intelligence (system health, wear, etc.) and begin automating more aspects, so it could make sense to upgrade here, but I’m sure there are lots of places where upgrades are not necessary and the old software is good enough, so long as it’s still supported by a vendor.
