> And can you talk about how your group theory link relates to the project?

You mean GLn(F)? That's a really, really cheesy kind of math joke that doesn't really work well. It's the symbol for 'The general linear group of degree n over any field F'.

But if you stay up too long writing code, well then you might realize it can also be used as a pun/pseudo-acronym on the word 'Grassland'. Take the first three letters, GLN and what do you get? ...GrassLaNd. I know, right. Keep your shirt on. This party ain't over yet.

And the 'F', well that's a 'field', right. like grass in a field. Ooohhh... Yeah... get it?... Oh Yeah, I bet you're impressed now.

And Bonus! The transformations of that group are 'symmetries'...

'Symmetry' as in the opposite of 'asymmetry'... You know... like how Grassland tries to promote symmetry... uh-huh... yep. That's right. I bet you're rolling on the floor with laughter now.

...So yeah, it's not at all a good joke. And yes, I am really fun at parties.

That is interesting. So if cows are slaughtered at 15 months instead of three years, methane per cow life time has been cut by more than half. So we could have twice as many cows with the same methane output, right? Something doesn’t seem right about that though...
Even after Tim Cook said none of his best people have the obsolete degrees everyone covets, the focus and priorities of software interviews is perpetually: "please tell me your LinkedIn profile?" or "what was your college degree in, again?" as opposed to "oh you have precisely all the mad skilz to remake the world in Linus's image".
This is silly. Companies call all sorts of things AI that aren’t - from IBM to your smallest startup. It’s a nothing phrase

> This is intentional to prevent rampant speculation. If you could get in and out of shares with no tax consequence then it would cause extreme volatility in the market.

It isn't intentional and it doesn't do that. Speculation can already be done with no tax consequences or profitable tax consequences when the thing you're selling to buy something else has had zero or negative value appreciation, and can also be done by borrowing money to speculate with and using the shares you can't sell as collateral for the loan. But that too is less efficient because, although the speculation is happening, now there are a bunch of wasteful transaction costs.

Also, long-term investors shouldn't care about short-term value swings, and short-term investors get what they paid for.

> Having the zombie company isn’t inefficient. That company is still deploying its capital to its employees and vendors, paying rent, etc. They are still contributing to the economy.

When one company is paying people to build technology to reduce carbon emissions and the other is paying people to dig holes and fill them back in for no reason or rearrange the deck chairs on a sinking ship, diverting capital to the second company is most certainly inefficient.

> Also remember companies aren’t making money from stock trades. They already got all the money at the IPO.

The IPO for some companies hasn't happened yet. Moreover, existing companies can sell new shares, and the company's market value is used to assuage creditors and allow existing companies to borrow at lower rates because the creditors know the company could pay the debt by issuing new shares if necessary.
And of course a smart JIT compiler can even put the variable access lookup in an inline cache on the function so that in the future it's a direct type + key = offset calculation rather than a memory lookup and the hash_get call is avoided.
Tangentially related, but this:

>Hipson, who is also the sole moderator of r/PayPal, says he was brought on as an RBI mod because he “loves banning” people.

That sentence right there describes one of the main problems with reddit. Power-seeking moderators who are more interested in flexing on users than making good communities.
The processor in a payment card doesn't have any valuable data that the bank doesn't already have, unlike computer's CPU.
Paypal is sending regular "HEY YOU HAVE MONEY IN YOUR ACCOUNT" e-mails. Apparently, there are legal requirements to send them, so you can't opt opt. I'm not surprised if people send the stuff to spam, because it looks exactly like the typical "hey pay attention to me" re-engagement notification spam.

And I don't see why you'd need to be less tech savvy to use "mark as spam" on automated e-mails sent to you that you didn't ask for and don't want to receive.
I learned to program through php and the documentation was a major part of that before the prevalence of stack overflow etc
But how long are the kids at school (per day), in that country?

We also have schools with no homework in Germany - because kids stay in school the whole day and do the homework at school. Not what I want for my kids.
I "rescued" the owner and waitress of the restaurant I live above last week.

Unusually, the power went out at about 00:15. I got home at 00:30, and saw them in the courtyard. They'd taken the rubbish out, but couldn't get back into any part of the building with their RFID fob.

I have a fob plus actual keys.
No, this is the best way.

I go another step and do not keep that recovery answer once put into the form. Does wonders to make sure everything else does not fail.

In your scenario the service is already broken and the door is wide open no matter what you choose as the recovery answer.

Humans are not machines, a system where we absolutely have to pay attention 1% of the time but have to just stare mindlessly the other 99% doesn't work. Humans don't work like that and we will space out even if we try not to. Especially when you have to do it for hours on end.
The check that is sorely missing from our society is an attitude of packing a cordless angle grinder on snowy days.
yeah actually, it isn't a conspiracy theory but more like cultural critical theory, the book Seeing Like a State, is a great read about how the state works to transform the natural world into a world that can be quantified and managed by bureaucracy.

One of it's most interesting examples is how early modern governments reformed agricultural practices, not to raise productivity levels but to make them more easily measured and therefore taxed.
Joe Watkins is a really nice person and contributed a lot to php including the thread support (php-pthreads) the debugger (php-dbg) and other really impressive stuff.

The nice story here is when he was in financial trouble (because of a bad employer) the community stepped up and donated to him ( https://www.gofundme.com/b9dfcg ).

He has constantly been useful and a positive force of change and any language ecosystem would be happy to have him.

It's kind of important to note that "Reddit Bureau of Investigation" is just one sub-reddit on reddit, not an actual custom thing endorsed by reddit and the next time a disaster happens /r/LearnsNothingFromThePast will be sure to pin the next crime on whichever brown person they can find first.

In fact, the more you find out about this sub-reddit the more it sounds like Wired is making an erroneous link between the actual problem of vigilante-ism on reddit and some harmless Lost & Found style sub-reddit. If you actually want to follow the thread of reddit's amateur sleuths it doesn't go via /r/RDI it goes via /r/conspiracy. Having spent the entirity of 2016 claiming that Hilary Clinton was party to a secret pedofile ring in a pizza restaurant culminating in a vigilante shooting up the restaurant, they've now moved on. Joe Biden is pedofile this time! They've got video of him making physical contact with children in public spaces in front of cameras to prove it and they're going to run with this one till they've got their man!

I just feel this story is a little ridiculous.
Indeed, 'zero-configuration' only applies to users.
Imagine my surprise this morning when I created a throwaway account to ask HN how I can actively invest $500K, go to the “Ask HN” tab to see how these posts are usually formulated, and someone’s asked almost the exact same question (I’m a couple years younger than 30 and I’m looking at small businesses).
> Yes, I've reported everything, and they were extremely helpful (to the point where they debugged things with me), but nothing changed.

Do you remember how long ago this was? I'm still hoping this is a solvable problem since I really want IPFS to work.

> The daemon doesn't act like a torrent client, where you can add a pin and then come back later to check progress. You need to do an HTTP POST (or whatever verb) and then wait until it's done, which due to availability issues and size might take days to complete.

Oh. That does sound awful. I wonder why they designed it like that.
Keeping your name on the lease and then subleasing it under the table is one of the classic scams when rent control is involved. I can understand where the landlord would want to know who is actually using it.
But we allow that kind of discrimination based on physical characteristics all the time.

Why is it an acceptable basis to discriminate on height, but not melanin content?

Because there’s a ton of “one size fits all” products which don’t fit the ends of the bell curve, and reflect the choice of manufacturer to not serve all body types.

I think it’s a poor choice for a door lock, but I’m not sure I a priori think it’s unacceptable for a product to not work for some (~10%) portion of the population — especially when it reflects an engineering reality (skin reflectivity; feature sharpness), and not choice.
Tesla is offering iterative improvements for free.

The above post is saying that they’ll need to offer groundbreaking cutting edge tech that doesn’t even exist yet ... for free.

All the while this tech is being invented Tesla is selling more cars that will need this technology.
The comments are only needed because the documentation is often wrong or confused. And, of course, usually most of the comments are wrong too.

Other languages don't need comments because they at least aim to have documentation that's correct.
Any good faith I had for the landlord walking into the article was obliterated when I read about how they reacted when tenants met in the lobby to discuss the upcoming change:

>In any event, the letter went on to say that while some tenants complied when a security guard asked residents to disperse, at least one did not: “Ms. Johnnie Mae Robinson stated this was her building and she will stay there. Let me make something clear, this is not your building, you are a resident of our building.”

Law says tenants can hang around in lobbies all they want. Whoever the landlord is, is an asshole, and I wouldn't trust their motives further than I can throw my own head.
Really? The lock in boogeyman...

If you’re using standard Postgres and reading the standard Postgres documentation, how would you even know about any Amazon extensions?

Does DO give you data storage across three availability zones? Point in time backups? Autoscaling synchronous read replicas?
>But they are optional (right?) so in practice if they are not there they do little good.

Modern implementations like SBCL also do type inference as well and do tell you about compile-time type errors.

CL is also a very strongly typed language so type errors are going to be caught by the implementation sooner or later.

Not that I care, though. Type mismatch errors are my least concern.

>Could you tell a bit more about how generic functions do the same thing as Interfaces?

You'll have to read the online chapter about Generic functions of the "Practical Common Lisp" book, available online for free and already a classic. Common Lisp Object System (CLOS) cannot be explained in a few words.

>Can you use them as part of a type-declaration?

Object classes can be used in type declarations.

>Say like a Java Interface can be used as a Type in a type-declaration of a method.

CLOS goes beyond and is even more powerful than what Java offers. See "multimethods" and "polymorphic dispatch".

CLOS OOP makes Java OOP look like looking at a Little Tikes car from an actual Formula 1 car. And I say this as a person who worked as a paid Java developer for "serious" stuff for years.
My sister works as a lawyer in NYC on these kinds of cases.

I can tell you that when landlords have a financial incentive to get rid of a tenant (as is very often the case in rent-stabilized housing), they can and will do anything in their power to do so, including every possible form of harassment.

A system that allows landlords to track their tenants' activities with a computer, lock out whoever they want individually, whenever they want, is not a good idea.

The balance of power is already crushingly in the landlords' favor.
Love what they've been doing on PHP lately :)

> However, this in fact opens the door on things such as machine learning, 3d rendering, 2d (gui) rendering, and data analysis, to name just a few.

Shouldn't we get decent threading built in before we consider most of those? I've hit that wall many times when processing larger amounts of data w/ php scripts. I know about the pthreads plugin but nothing beats a first class citizen like goroutines for go or similar.
I don't think there are all that many people here who'd want homework to be eliminated entirely, just for there to be less of it.

Personally, I think homework is fine but should take 1 hour a day at most in high school, and half an hour before that.
Yep, sorry for the lack of clarity. I assumed we were talking about building entrances, I've never had magnetic locks on an apartment itself.

I'm a big fan of both efforts. Ideas are a dime a dozen (if that) and I like the unconventional and challenging approach that you both took. I'm rifling through my idea notepad to pitch my hat into the ring :)
Talking about salary is frowned on in the U.S.
> Why is it an acceptable basis to discriminate on height, but not melanin content?

Because society as a whole hasn't spent hundreds of years literally enslaving short people before deciding that strict moral and legal standards are necessary to prevent it from happening again.
Thank you! Yes I'm definitely planning on writing a post-mortem with details about sales figures in a few months.
But then when every large complex moves to this all of a sudden darker skinned people have less housing choice and we’re back in 1950.

We could just not allow these systems.
Does it at least solve the problem that it says it solves ?
> Except knowing exactly when they come and go. And depending on how the camera works, how they're dressed, what they're carrying, how they got there, who they said goodbye to on the sidewalk, etc., etc.

Where in the article did it state that people's activities were being tracked? Let alone inferring what they are carrying, how they are dressed. The latter things are the stuff of science fiction. I talked with a guy working on posture recognition for the military. It's hard for cameras to figure out when a guy is holding a rifle, let alone make highly subjective judgements like "how did this person travel to the building?" and "is this person well-dressed?".
Still, interception of communications is a serious crime (unless your monopoly-scale ISP does it, of course).

Thanks for the update (if somewhat depressing to know they still get away with it).
what's the point of sharing this if it's just a paywalled description?
ooooooh :) I learned something thank you!
The ignorant part is blaming Mexicans, Chinese or cyclists when reality is much more complicated than that. Building a wall won't improve healthcare, and insulting diplomatic partners won't return manufacturing jobs.
When all is said and done, this ends up seeming like pretty much the exact same treatment that "like-kind exchange" gives to Real Estate. In both cases you're allowed to swap an asset without capital gains at the swap time (but your basis stays at the low old price, so you eventually will).

I'm not sure how much I like these rules, but either they're both "dodges" or neither is.
Tolerance my friend. Tolerance.
Of course you might also be adding that hack to a page that already pulls in jQuery, in which case why avoid it?

You have to lower the high salaries as well, or cause some people to exit the workforce, to prevent inflation from raising low salaries if output doesn’t change.

Contrast with Now TV in the UK, which is rebadged Roku equipment, but subsidised.

The box was £15(?) ($20) with 1 months free movies. Pay as you go after that.

https://www.nowtv.com/

Edit:
On second reading this looks like marketing. Nowtv is owned by Sky, who is controlled by Rupert Murdock, who I normally stay well clear of, except when he's giving me money off Roku boxes. I just watch the free to air stuff on it, so he doesn't actually make any money off of me.
There's an ever-growing list of stuff you need to set up to be considered a legitimate mail server. It started long ago with a valid reverse DNS entry, and now you need DKIM, SPF and a bunch of other stuff: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/81126?hl=en

Given that banks seem unable to send e-mail that doesn't look like phishing (using non-https links and often separate domains), I don't have high confidence that they can get the basics right.
I've also found that the comments sometimes have very useful notes.

There is the issue of bad advice, but recently I've noticed that there seems to have been a voting system introduced at some point (not sure how long that's been there, I was away from PHP for a good chunk of the last decade), and I think the moderation system is older, so in theory, some of the worst advice should be filtered down/out and some of the best should be filtered up.
serverless and compute-on-edge are different things.
> "If you're worried about local government but not I.P. theft, then the Chinese backdoors won't be any threat to you."

Not necessarily. It's possible your local government has infiltrated the Chinese agencies that have access to your data. Maybe not likely, but possible. It's also possible the Chinese might choose to sell that data to your government.
I carried wet vegetables in paper bags on public transportation for years with no problem. Where are you hearing this?
What? You get April 1st off as a holiday? Wait a second... I see what you did there! Very meta.
Which is what the earlier poster was alluding too. PHP code is stateless and sits there not taking up any resources until it is needed.
My PI did this work in Jim Allison's lab. They published in 1996 showing they could shrink tumors with CTLA4 blockade; this went on to become the drug Yervoy, the first successful immunotherapy.

For years people in cancer ignored this work until just a few years ago when it became clear the previous hoped for cure (tyrosine kinase inhibitors) were a bust. Then, suddenly, it became all anyone cared about.

This wasnt because there was no evidence it was important. We knew it was important, we knew we had to study the tumor microenvironment to understand the disease fully. The reason we didnt was because people thought they had a better idea (targeting therapy based on tumor genetics) and no one wanted to miss the gold rush in order to do the painstaking work required to learn all the immune biology.
Reusable bags are cheap and durable.
Yup not going to pay thru the nose to be any billionaires guinea pig!

Unfortunately others will posing a new threat on our roads that previously didn’t exist.

Progress is a killer and that kills the innocent at the hands of the mega wealthy.
True, however I would argue that having an IR in general makes the code easier to understand and maintain. Especially if you add more optimizations.
This is how I feel about college athletics. Make a minor league and pay the players, don't spend millions of govt/tuition dollars on coach salaries that could be spent on education and research.
The thing is though, you have to know enough to google it in the first place. I'm sure there's a lot of users of VIM that never use certain powerful features because they don't even know they exist; that happens in an IDE too but it's a lot less frequent because a button or a panel is a lot more obvious to go "hey what's that..".
Similarly here. Used to always get disposable bags before Austin banned them. I’ve moved around a bunch since and continue to bring my reusable bags with me everywhere.
Here the problem is different: write on disk a point in time snapshot of what is in memory. Redis is not a common data store.
It doesn't seem like you and Matt Levine are disagreeing about anything material. Just over whether it should be called a "dodge" or not. It's just a rule. It's almost exactly like the rule for real estate like-kind exchanges (at least in the effect it ends up having - you can swap the asset you're in without the frictional cap gains tax).
Perhaps an easier and quicker fix (although extremely costly) is to outfit all roadways with aids for autonomous driving. Otherwise, we will have to wait decades for the technology to be mature enough.
The Matrix Code Came from Sushi Recipes
Yea, I realized I was just carrying my little motorcycle givi box up the stairs anyway and the bags were pointless - now I just borrow the shop basket for "bagging" and it's indistinguishable from my previous system of bagging the groceries and carrying them out.
> “It’s not like the facial recognition is resulting in any privacy loss...” Ouy, where to even start. Of course it is. Every time you’re tracked is a loss of privacy.

This statement is true, every time you're tracked it's a loss of privacy.

That said, you're making an unsubstantiated leap to go from facial recognition to tracking people. Where in the article does it say that people's entry and exit is logged? Where does it say that people's clothing, whether or not they are carrying objects, etc. are being tracked? Unless you can substantiate the claim that facial recognition is being used as a means of tracking people, your comment is not relevant.

From what the article writes, it looks keyed entry systems is being replaced by facial recognition. Unless we have evidence to the contrary, it looks to me that facial recognition is being used exclusively as a key for authentication. This doesn't seem any more tyrannical to me than Apple pushing facial recognition as the default mode of unlocking its latest iPhones.
No, renters are not considered co-owners.

I didn't investigate this further beyond my use-case (many co-owners, asking them to agree to anything is like cat herding). Given the protection the renters are getting, I wouldn't be surprised if such a permission would be difficult to get, and the common areas would be considered publicly available.
Sometimes when I go to hacker news, I feel really poor.
I check my Gmail spam folder about once a month, and maybe once a year do I find anything interesting.
Why would you expect that?

It would certainly be nice if I was paid based on value generated (it would mean a big raise even in SV), but that's not normally how economies work.
