I think the problem is that you're comparing art pieces that have different purposes, and even more, different value systems. Those Soviet pieces are meant to be poignant, they're meant to be instantly emotionally evocative, and they're immensely successful in creating great content. The artist there is valuing impact, and truthful representation of a thing, be it the horror of war or the heartbroken silence of world shattered by a letter. However, these works are derivative. They are not novel in how they show their content; they use the same techniques that were popularized and perfected years ago. This is fine, because these paintings are complete in and of themselves.

Pollock on the other hand wasn't focused so much on the content of what he was creating, but on the process. Pollock wasn't trying to make you feel a thing, Pollock was trying to make a statement about what it means to be art. Pollock and other modern artists aren't looking to provide a story in isolation - they're iterating and expanding on a corpus of techniques, and means of representation, and questions about what it means to be art. Do I need to draw a person to show human suffering? Do I need to represent reality to make something meaningful? Can I create something that is recognizable as art while working under these arbitrary limitations?

I think this is true of any art/skill/techne - once the art reaches a certain level of maturity and sophistication. For practitioners, the new frontiers are not in the content you create (because it's established that you can create anything) but the process by which you make it. Look at modern poetry, and literature. A lot of the time these are very tangled, frustrating pieces to read because they break with the forms we are used to and iterate on them. Many of these aren't written to tell a story, or to make you feel, but to explore how one tells a story, or how one paints a thought in words. You see this to an extent in programming - there's very little value to writing conway's tree of life in brainfuck or competing to see who can write the smallest program that can reproduce the mona lisa in ASCII, but we do it because these limitations are challenging and cool to us.

(I'd argue that a Rothko painting can show just as much poignancy as any of those Soviet paintings you showed above.)
Ah, It's not that. Haidt's hypothesis in The Coddling of the American Mind is that by trying to ensure we never see disagreement or unpleasantness, and by attributing any such thing that we do see to a societal oppressive phenomenon, we are making ourselves fragile.

The other bits are concessions he's making wrt his thesis.

I usually like his hypotheses. Quite thought provoking.
Those are all really good tips, thank you for sharing them.
I'm sorry but you act like the insurance companies weren't the target of his scheme and not the patients. Why do you think he got hit so hard? It's because his scheme was effective. I wouldn't be surprised if the insurance companies helped bankroll the investigation and prosecution at the start. He would even give the drug away for free if they couldn't afford it. The same thing goes for other specialty HIV drugs like truvada.
> Maybe he ran a fraud

> making as much money as you can is a good thing, a noble and morally righteous thing in fact.

I don't see how you can claim that what he did was morally righteous, but also possibly fraudulent.

> Companies should try and make as much money as humanly possible (without breaking the law)

The parenthetical here is hilarious, because it immediately contradicts your argument. Companies should try to make as much money as possible, until we decide that what they do should be illegal, in which case companies should not try to make as much money as possible. Isn't this always the case? Assuming we have a perfect system, companies should try to make as much money as possible within that system. Shkreli went to jail because he broke the law, therefore according to your own argument you shouldn't be admiring him.
"Afaik robin hoods business model is to sell the trade data from its users to day traders who can manipulate the stock"

They sell access to their book to market makers, if that's what you mean.

They benefit from the extra liquidity, and Robin Hood customers benefit from better than market rates.

Plus trades are publicly available data. And it isn't clear how having that data would be beneficial to manipulating the stock price.

Edit:
Here's a decent write up of how it works

Its not really that uncommon. Especially with students from India/China etc where their status in the country depends on the PI's good graces this can be quite complicated. Students will literally do anything to make sure the PI is happy. The worst exploiters are professors from the same countries. They'll sometimes often only hire students from the same countries. I knew a case where a PI was caught screwing a student on the lab bench. She was dismissed, he was sent on a sabbatical.
The Computer Science GRE was discontinued a few years ago.
> Fuchsia team thinks otherwise, where kernel level stuff like the TCP/IP stack and IO volume handling are written in Go.
> Android team also makes use of Go for their OpenGL/Vulkan debugger.

Neither of those examples disagree with what I said. Fuschia's usage is the perfect example of agreement - Go specializes in IO (server workloads) and is then being used to do IO. That's a great usage of Go's particular blend of capabilities.

The use of GO in GAPID would be more interesting if it had any meaningful constraints on it, but it doesn't. It's an offline debugger for something that ran on a device with a fraction of the speed.

RenderDoc would be the meatier Vulkan debugger, and it's C++.
I did really like his lectures on youtube on investing. One can learn a lot about dissecting a company's fundamentals from them. I wish he had not done all that stupid shit. I am not sure if he thinks he ever needed to anyways..
This sounds amazing. Good luck Tony. Cosmic is very useful and I wish you luck.

I have a hard time justifying the pricing here.

Wordpress is "free" vs CosmicJS is 49$/mo minimum without backup and only 3GB space.

For 49$/mo you could get a cloud VPS for Wordpress, including backups and even high-availability with no request limits (API limits in CosmicJS).

I know it's not straight comparable, but..
For a counterpoint, read this scathing review by Moira Weigel of his book The Coddling of the American Mind:

Like Trump, the authors romanticise a past before “identity” but get fuzzy and impatient when history itself comes up. “Most of these schools once excluded women and people of colour,” they reflect. “But does that mean that women and people of colour should think of themselves as ‘colonised populations’ today?” You could approach this question by looking at data on racialised inequality in the US, access to universities, or gendered violence. They don’t. They leave it as a rhetorical question for “common sense” to answer.

Their narrow perception of history severely limits the explanations Lukianoff and Haidt can offer for the real problems they identify. Can you understand the “paranoia” middle-class parents have about college admissions without considering how many of their children are now downwardly mobile? How are college teachers supposed to confidently court controversy when so many of them have zero security in jobs that barely pay above poverty wages?

Not a bad time to buy as the SF housing market is much softer than a year ago. Rather than going for 20% over asking, most are going for 0-5% now.
I didn't realise that. We released desktop software several years ago, and customers/trialers did report that Smartscreen was flagging it for a couple I'd weeks. Never had an issue since then though.

Having said that, Smartscreen is opaque, and a nuisance.
> A byte from Netflix takes exactly the same number of packets on the wire as a byte from Hulu or a byte from fcc.gov.

This may be true, but its irrelevant unless the COGs for an ISP is measured in packets. It's almost certainly not.
>I used Instapainting (YC W11) for the commission.

How much did the painting cost?

And (if you know it) how much of the total sum went to the actual artist that painted it?
But electricity costs are not fixed, in the US at least, they float with the market. So electricity during the day is more expensive than electricity at night.

This is how a good market should work. Why should the internet be any different? I think the only reason why net neutrality is a thing people support is because of the monopolies the service providers have in many parts of the country. If there was healthy competition in the space, I don't think anyone would be talking about net neutrality.

As such, I think we should be focusing our efforts on deregulation and creating some real competition in the space instead of net neutrality.
Non-android support relies on libhybris, sticking you with an ancient kernel and proprietary drivers on Debian and Sailfish since only Android has "proper" support form Mediatek. Also the keyboard on the Gemini is crummy. Alt-tab occasionally triggers caps lock (fn tab) and some key combos like ctrl-alt-v to scroll other window in emacs sends a totally different signal and doesn't work. Their layout pushes normal keys like minus to the fn layer while wasting four keys on dedicated arrow keys. Why they couldn't just look at a 60% keyboard, I don't know. Something 50% and ortholinear like the preonic could work well for a UMPC also if they couldn't even give us a 60% equivalent. Also the screen has curved corners which cuts off info visibly on the Debian side. Android hides it better. Oh, and every time you close it, a key is pressed. There's not enough space between screen and keyboard when closed. It also leaves an imprint of keys on the screen. The GPD devices seem similarly disappointing in regards to keyboard layout. I have not bought one to give more specifics like with the Gemini. I want this form factor to work, but no one is doing it right.
Talk about a decadent society, where you hire 15 people to sculpt in ice, instead of being paid to do something a little more productive.
What you said is not entirely true. Daraprim (the drug you are referring to) costs $10 out of pocket for insured patients. For uninsured low income patients it's free of charge.

Um... isn't the constitution designed to prevent shit like this happening?

I have no special interest in American politics as I just watch from the other side of the border, but I'm pretty sure my understanding of the political system down there is full enough that I'm right in saying that a sitting president can't legally follow through on threats like that without getting evicted from office.

Aren't there failsafes and backup plans and laws and a justice department to prevent presidential overreach?

This is the whole purpose of the three branches of government.
Yes, we've run billions of requests through them. They have the best performance and the lowest-latency, along with running globally instead of a single datacenter. It's just javascript so you can use npm packages and compile the final script to deploy.
The value add is that you don't need to do the `xargs --max-procs N`, yourself. By default N is 1 for xargs. For parallel, the default is N = number of CPUs.

Additionally, you can run a series of unrelated commands that aren't from a list/piped in with parallel using the `--` syntax:

`parallel -j 3 -- ls df "echo hi"`

You can limit system load using parallel, which as far as I know isn't possible with xargs: `parallel -l L` where L is the average system load you want to remain beneath.
I feel like this is mostly a pedantic argument around being a suspect vs being officially accused. The migrant caravans are obviously intending to violate US law by entering the country illegally. Entering the country illegally is itself a crime. It's a misdemeanor, but a crime nonetheless.

Participating in the illegal transport of a person from one country to another is called human trafficking. These people are suspected of participating in human trafficking under the guise of journalism, so they are being questioned even though there is not enough evidence to officially accuse/charge them.

I think the article hit on that a lot

"To take 18-year-olds, and rather than try to turn that down and say “okay hold on, don’t be so moralistic. Let’s try to give people a chance. Let’s judge people as individuals.” That was the great achievement of the 20th century—to make progress there. Instead in the 21st century to say, “okay welcome to campus. Here are five or six dimensions; we’re going to teach you to see men, maleness, masculinity as bad, everyone else is good. White is bad, everyone else is good. Straight is bad, everyone else is good.” This is Manicheism. This is ramping up our tendency to dualistic thinking."

Further training might be required, but if there's a shortage of trained HVAC people, an employer might prefer to hire someone that already knows something about the field, and who happens to know a bunch of other stuff as well (because that indicates they're good at learning new stuff).

For the prospective employee, there's some advantage in not being deeply locked-in to one field in particular. Depending on economic circumstances, you might need to switch trades half-way through your career. The idea is that having some basic experience in a number of different skillsets will make a switch easier if you need to do that.

That's the theory anyway. I don't know whether it's really practical though.

Python uses different operators for combining lists and for combining sets. So, the question is: is this operation more like list + or more like set |?

Choosing len(a) + len(b) == len(a + b) as a criterion is interesting because it is what distinguishes an addition from a merge.

Addition: put together two collections and keep everything

Merge: put together two collections and keep some things

This is a merge.

The dictionary merge operator should be | for the same reason that the set merge operator is |.

Interesting concept. Why couldn't we do this with matter?

Instead of firing light off at black holes, why not fire some material around a gravity well and allow it to strike the spacecraft in a way that it A) imparts the inertia it has gathered from whatever body you shot it around and B) is captured to be fired again at a new angle according to your new position?

I know there are a ton of logistics to wade through with this, but it should be at least hypothetically possible. It's the same concept as in the article, save for the fact that we are now firing matter around objects we actually can reach in our lifetimes rather than light around black holes that would take an exceedingly long time to propagate.
It has some more granular control over "pasting" in values. For example, you can use {} for the arg value itself, or you can use {.} for just what's before the extension, or you can use {/} for the basename, or {/.} for the basename without extension, etc. You can also get progress bar, ETA, etc.
Yes, that's what I meant, and it does a bad job at it (the examples I gave). Java/C#/Kotlin/etc. are strictly superior when it comes to managing large code bases.

I would assume that everything is screened as soon as it comes in. Then anything that looks remotely urgent/dangerous is escalated accordingly. Anything else is left pending. Under promise, over deliver via the message.

Yes, and the people who have really made a lot of money (the founders, execs, earliest employees) have likely already had several opportunities to cash out over the years, so the market is already priced accordingly.
Mainly parallel remote execution. Possibly resumption (depending on the task, see gcommer's comment).

You might want to look at:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/104778/gnu-parallel...

I'll say that field separation / null termination is a bit annoying for xargs/find etc-but more so perhaps for novice users of shell. I do like shell pipelines, but quoting can be nearly.
That would be R, Pandas, SQL, etc.
parallel is like xargs++; for simple cases it does the same thing as xargs, but it also has many more advanced features such as:

- Splitting input lines into multiple fields and building more complex commands from them

- Running jobs on remote nodes

- Pausing/resuming batch jobs (--joblog)

- ETA and progress bars

- Passing data to programs on stdin and generally many, many other ways of distributing and collecting data that xargs can't do

You can see a bunch of examples at: https://www.gnu.org/software/parallel/man.html

$ PAGER=cat man xargs | wc -l
259
$ PAGER=cat man parallel | wc -l
3985
Maybe depends on what you want. Do you want momentum transfer (thrust)? A sail, because you get more by reflecting than by absorbing. Or do you want energy (more than just kinetic)? A solar panel, because you only gain kinetic energy from a sail. If you want both energy and momentum, tune the solar panel/sail ratio to get what you want.
No undergrad at all? That would be fairly rare.

Non CS undergrad? Lots of universities have programs or tracks for CS masters from a non-CS background.

I have seen a few universities set up accelerated professional CS BA/BS in the past five years or so.

A more common path that I have seen from self thought developers that "needed the degree" has been doing a reputable local or online BA/BS part-time.

> When I want J to do something in a program, I fiddle with it until I get the "sentence" right, and that's it. That sentence will never be modified again. If I need it to work differenty, I'll rewrite that sentence from scratch. Then find a good name for your sentence so that you can combine it with others, and suddently you discover that you can write J like a nice DSL that can very satisfyingly sound like plain spoken language.

I had exactly the same experience with Forth. It is very cool when you define a word as an almost English sentence and all the data flow effortlessly through the stack but I have to admit it can take a lot of time to get it right. I got to the conclusion that Forth is a contemplative language where you spend a lot more time thinking than typing.
So I guess the answer is no, you haven't considered it.

My purchase decisions are and always have been pretty simple and articulable: for small-ticket items (eg bath soap), I buy the cheapest thing that I haven't already tried and found under par. For big-ticket items whose value affects my utility significantly (eg smartphones), I spend time doing research and if necessary asking friends who have experience with the products.

I'm not confidently asserting that it doesn't _feel_ like ads don't affect my purchase decision; I'm saying that I don't see anywhere for their first-order effects to affect my purchase process[1].

I'm very aware of the risk of overconfidence here, but this is something I've noticed and wondered about for years. I was pretty unsure of it given the strong prior everyone else seemed to have that ads are all-powerful brainwashing devices. But for years, whenever I have brought it up to people convinced of the ultimate power of ads, I've never gotten anything but lazy dismissals like yours that it's simply hopeless and you're at the mercy of any ad you see.

The two possibilities here are 1) I'm being overconfident and 2) you're not just generalizing your weakness to ads, but universalizing it and unable to admit the possibility of someone who's not as affected. Given everything the above, over all the times I've asked this question over the years, I'm a lot more confident in 2 than I am in 1.

[1] Second-order effects of course exist: the brands stocked by my local Walgreens and those that have visibility in review roundups will of course be skewed somewhat by advertising budgets. This seems inevitable though, and is a substantially different topic than the GP's mention of cognitive sovereignty.
If a drug is actually a good idea for patients, with no profit motive behind it, it will sell itself.

This is entirely untrue.

The one thing I learned in the biotech space is that doctors range from those doing research and know all about the cutting edge drugs all the way to doctors who are surprised to learn about a new drug that was approved a year ago. And there are way more of the 2nd kind.

Changes to how conditions are treated actually happens really slowly. What often hinders adoptation of new drugs is information and that’s a key goal of marketing - actually letting doctors know something new is available.
Agreed, but "too popular" within certain geographies, which the structure of the senate favors. If I recall, at least by the numbers a majority in the Senate can be elected by something less than 20% of the US population.
