Real wages haven't increased since 1970.

We only feel richer because:

* Most households have two wage earners now.

* We use lines of credit to borrow for discretionary purchases, we lease cars, pay by subscription for things more.

* We have more gadgets. (Note that this has been proven to make people any happier.)
"Amicious is like Facebook but for Communication"

Perhaps not a brilliant startup idea.
Your perspective doesn't seem exactly common in hackernews and I appreciate it.

1) I gotta say though when you talk of "the observer" it throws me off as it sounds like the typical quantum woo twisting of the observer effect, perhaps you meant something else? what do you mean by "the observer"?

2) Regarding "the universe is ordered and can be described with a set of rules. There is no full evidence of this, it's just an assumption." this has proven so far to be a good assumption (as seen by the massive amount of scientific knowledge and verified predictions accumulated) and if anything it seems all evidence points to exactly this. Is there evidence that there the universe is more than just 'a pile of particles'? (although that is a somewhat simplistic way to put it)

3) Trying to distill the comment, it seems the main argument is along the lines of "science can't explain life itself and/or consciousness, therefore there must be more" is that a fair assessment? and in that case what would you convince you of the oposite? for e.g what if "life" is well understood and can be reproduced in a lab etc.. what if we can reproduce most human-like intelligence with AI, etc... in other words, what would (realistically) change your mind to the opposite?
So, I am assuming that the uptick in the volume of varroa during the August-September time frame might be because of the transition of the summer worker bee to the winter worker bee. The winter bee tends to have more fat, at least that is what I have read. Therefore, there might even be a correlation between the uptick during this time due to the bees developing more fat for the over wintering of the hive and a larger increase of the mite? Could this contribute to less ‘over wintering bees’ and hence the downfall of the hive due to lack of warmth?
And almost-real naming like 'DbAppAndFNAAppRegistrationService'.
Millions of people used WP5, with its cryptic codes and huge keyboard overlays. I don’t believe that’s any easier than Emacs (or HTML). People can figure things out, when they have to.
I still miss VB6. It was a beautiful tool and easy to make GUIs with. I still can’t handle writing native GUIs without a good WYSIWYG editor. Delphi was cool, but Object Pascal?! Many people still swear by Delphi and it’s because when your code is UI focused Delphi makes that super easy.
The main countermeasure is that each vote can only move the score by one point.

Regardless of how much of an additional tip a voter decides to give to a poster, the voter would have to vote N times to move the score by N points. This becomes less economical as the overall user base grows. But more generally, I think that money already plays a huge role in deciding what is worth discussing. From promoting a blog post on Facebook to lobbying, we see this kind of influence across media throughout society.

On one hand, reputation matters on Hacker News because of the high-value culture maintained by users and administrators. But this doesn't scale past a certain size, and reputation becomes something that not everyone can earn or buy on equal terms. Consider celebrity accounts on Twitter bootstrapped with fake followers or karma farming and vote manipulation on Reddit.

On the other hand, I think one way to look at this project is as a micro-crowdfunding platform for interesting ideas with curation serving as a form of gamification or competition.

While I think that being explicit with money might have an interesting effect on what content gets surfaced, it might also be interesting to maintain a subreddit with mirrored content to compare the results.
Cloud Native Security: What It Means
Started out interesting, got out-of-hand pretty quickly.

I've been noticing lately how politically-motivated clubs constantly need to incense their base by exaggerating the problems of the era. This is true right or left. Be it "war on Christmas" or "polluting black punisher pickup-trucks of death" (i.e. this cartoon). I see it in newspapers, youtube videos, podcasts (even more balanced ones like Joe Rogan).

Of course, really in the end you can't put the blame on the pedagog. People opt-in to following angry blow-hards for a surrogate sense of purpose in their otherwise dull lives.
The margins go in the consumer's pocket and that of the owner of the services you are consuming + you are consuming higher quality services/products.
Also, as the consumer, you pay with your own free time: every time you self check-out, do your own accounting, tax fillings and so on, you are doing (a bit less) work that was done by an employee in the past.
So the margins mostly go to the owners of the services you are consuming (i.e. tax haven accounts).
Algorithmic justice, the one thing that is worst that electronic voting. I didn't think it would be possible.
Can anyone be said to be responsible for the increase in productivity? It's probably largely a matter of increased technology and automation, as well as cultural improvements like the way we work and organise work. These are mostly collective efforts.

Sure you can point to any individual employee and declare "you didn't invent or buy that computer that makes you work more efficiently, so why should you get more money?", but the CEO or shareholders didn't invent the computer either, and buying a PC is a fairly small expense, so why should they be the ones to benefit from the increased productivity?

Because they hold power and the regular employee doesn't. I think that's the only real explanation for this discrepancy: CEOs and shareholders have power, while the regular employee doesn't, and that power imbalance means more money goes to the CEO and shareholders.
I really like this project. I think it’s pretty FN cool. Love the leather cover. I have some spare time, parts, old 8.9 inch acer screen just need a new controller board. And a raspberry pi zero w. Might give something similar a try.

I'm aware of ridiculous money payed towards artists online creating furry art. This specific subculture is the highest paying to artists that I'm aware of and for artists to trade their time for creating an image the client desires. The amount payed is apparently enough for artists to live while satisfying their clients. The clients will typically post the finished work online for everyone.
> Oh no, what a pity, large chunks of bloated websites will go away. I’m sure we’ll all miss them greatly, they made such a great difference to our lives. /s

I don't even know how to answer this... You are proposing to partition the web into a past and future version where almost no site of commercial interest has any incentive to leave the old internet.

Do you seriously believe that a browser without javascript (not a "noscript" addon, just no javascript) could be successful in any way? or say, more than elinks?

> Also, we dropped flash pretty hard and fast, and I distinctly, distinctly remember a huge number of websites being entirely flash.

And some sites still requires it. It is one of the reason I still keep chrome on my computers
I'm curious why the above comment was flagged. It's a fair point. Companies like IBM are legally obligated to ignore race when hiring. The only reason to track the race of applicants is to make sure hiring is diverse, i.e. make sure quotas are being met.

You might think that's a good thing or not, but it isn't untrue or irrelevant.

> If you're using GA to get insight about your website, it would be somewhat useful, but not really - because GA would not be able to correlate the cookies to figure out the demographics, etc (and I don't know how much it would trust Via / Proxy-for headers, so other statistics it gives you are also limited).

A proxy can send whatever cookie it wants to the server (a proxy can actually hide the fact it's a proxy and make itself look like a normal client).

However a lot of GA's stalking behaviour relies on having cookies on a specific Google-controlled domain. The proxy using a different domain means it won't be able to neither access nor set those cookies. Good for privacy but obviously (and thankfully) bad for the author's nefarious goal.

I would say that is still market mechanisms affecting wages.

The purchasers (taxpayers) are not willing to pay sufficient wages in order to incentivize [the right] people to pursue it as a career.
Either it's a flaw in the engineers (lack of social skills to admit a mistake accurately) or in the working climate (fear of unreasonable repercussion make the engineers defer disclosure of failure). I'm undecided. Eitherway it seemed surprisingly inefficient way of communicating.
I'm confused about why this would be a problem, though. The majority of use cases I can think of for using fmt functions to render maps into strings would not be harmed in any way by presenting the map in sorted-key order. For my own use, such usage is mostly for debugging or logging purposes, in which case a sorted map is vastly preferable.

Given that the order of keys in a map is not guaranteed, I also wouldn't consider rendering them in a fixed order as "manipulation". The order of the keys is undefined, unimportant, program-wise. So presenting them in a certain order implies meaning (presumably there is one, whether it be creation order, LRU, or physical-memory layout). But if you know the keys are sorted before being printed, then you can continue to assume you don't know the actual order, or to put it another way, you can continue to suspend your disbelief about whether the keys are truly "unordered" in the system.

But to get back to practical concerns, I'm genuinely curious what harm you see from presenting the unordered keys in a predictable order that allows humans to get more use from the particular formatting?
HAHAHAH!! This is frickin hilarious! Thanks to whomever created this for sharing.
I'd like to see an AI driven predictor of which Google service/api will not exist in five years so we can go ahead and not use it now.
This project came up when I was researching this idea. It looks especially useful because the alignment algorithm is less restrictive (can introduce splits/breaks), so I plan on taking a closer look for sure. Given that it does not do any speech detection and requires a reference subtitles file, I'm not sure how well it would work for aligning the encoding for the speech-induced part, which will have a lot more noise. Particularly, the linked project works by aligning time intervals [a,b], while subsync is "dumber" in that it discretizes things into binary strings, and an interval constructed by merging consecutive 1's and 0's in speech detection-induced binary strings will probably be a lot harder to match to the subtitle intervals.

Either way, I also thought this was a cool project and will be thinking more about whether any ideas can be borrowed.
Reddit's Alexis Ohanian on the dangers of hustle in the tech industry
You are a collection of chemicals wandering around by stocastically seeking the highest entropy state you can achieve, so yes, you are a sort of Markov chain I suppose.

But so is a rock, so I would argue it is not an overly illuminating fact. Furthermore I suppose you have this very convincing experience of free will, an experience that seems pretty robust even when facing such facts as the brain is just made of chemicals, so I wouldn't worry about it.
There are GC paradigms that do compaction and do not stop the world (https://www.azul.com/products/zing/). They are expensive in other dimensions though (actual cash).

Again, not disagree-ing with the choices the golang team are making on GC, they work great for my workloads but they aren't without trade off for other kinds of workflows.

Please don't quote the incompleteness theorem without knowing it's precise statement. Far too many people do this to make absurd claims.

In particular, the tradeoff between soundness and completeness only holds for those mathematical systems which can internally encode peano arithmetic (naturals, addition, multiplication, first order logic)

Therefore, to invoke the incompleteness theorem, you need to prove that a legal system is powerful enough to encode arithmetic, which to me at least is not obvious.

There are many systems that are both consistent and complete, but are just not as expressive.

Because their squeamishness is suppressed to an extent that is unusual among the general public, and what remains is the now uninhibited fascination.
I don't think machine learning suffers from the same kind of p-value-driven replication crisis as other fields. It is true that people don't generally perform proper statistics to compare machine learning models [1], but ML research has two things going for it that other scientific fields do not. First, comparing machine learning models on the same test set corresponds to a within-subjects analysis, generally with tens of thousands of subjects, so the noise level is low. Second, because ML researchers don't generally perform hypothesis tests, they care solely about effect size and not about significance. If my model gets all the same examples right as the previous state-of-the-art, plus 10 more, then my model is statistically significantly better, but on a test set of 10,000 examples this corresponds to a 0.1% accuracy improvement, which is generally not big enough to publish. By not doing hypothesis tests, ML researchers actually tend to be more conservative than their p-value-driven counterparts in other fields.

In the Recht et al. study, the reason the new test accuracy is wildly outside of a binomial confidence interval around the original test set accuracy is that the distribution is different. The CI only applies to data drawn from the same distribution.

ML research still suffers from replication issues; such is the nature of the scientific incentive structure. However, these issues generally come in the form of poorly tuned baselines, buggy code, and claims with insufficient experimental/theoretical justification. Outside of some isolated cases, publication bias and cheating at hyperparameter tuning do not seem to be major factors.

[1] Statistically speaking, to compare two models on the same dataset, one does not care about the accuracy numbers but instead about the number of examples model A gets right that model B does not and vice versa; see McNemar's test.
If we're just talking about tracking then they don't need to because the site already gets all of your requests. They inherently know what pages you're viewing on their site because they gave them to you. A great many sites run this kind of analytics (often including client-side ones to track user actions - think medium.com's "most highlighted paragraph) and it's not considered malware.

If you're talking about them selling the data gathered by these, then that'd be less common but certainly not unheard of. If you're talking about them doing something more nefarious on your machine (keylogging/cracking) then hopefully that's pretty hard to do against a modern browser and any site caught doing so would never get any traffic from me again.
I have my parents (in their early 70's) using a 2008 MBP 15". Mostly for importing and organizing photos, email, and a bit of web stuff. They upgraded it to El Capitan - the latest MacOS it would take - without any difficulties. They'll likely use it for another couple of years until I donate my 2015 13" MBP to them.

I don't see how it's "entitlement" to control what your computer is doing with data it's receiving from the internet. If anything, I'd say it's the opposite site who is coming across entitled when they think not only they can expect to run any crap on user's machines, but also have the right to bitch about it when it doesn't run.

In that case, would you also say it's entitlement to be installing antimalware or security updates so malware authors are no longer able to run malware on your computer?

That's from Richard Stallman. “Multics Emacs proved to be a great success — programming new editing commands was so convenient that even the secretaries in his office started learning how to use it. They used a manual someone had written which showed how to extend Emacs, but didn't say it was a programming. So the secretaries, who believed they couldn't do programming, weren't scared off. They read the manual, discovered they could do useful things and they learned to program.”

The data itself is not being "manipulated", though. By definition it is unordered. You are not guaranteed that whatever order you get when iterating the keys will remain the same. But any string rendering of the map would put the keys in an "order" and thus would be "manipulating" the data according to you. Why not have the order be useful to humans?

But the web is different, web pages (HTML/CSS/JS + whatever) are script supposed to run in the browser and offer a fairly uniform interface. You can already compile to javascript, and also platform like android force you to use some of the native language.
