Am I wrong to conclude that this result itself is an argument for the existence of dark matter?

Because the theories that argue that physical laws behave differently at larger distances would have to work similarly for all galaxies. Physicists please correct me if I am wrong in making this conclusion!
A good chunk of emails I get from YouTube go to spam. I have notifications on by email for when some youtubers post new videos: https://i.imgur.com/8E0oGrP.png

However some of them do not get spam filtered, only a chunk of them do. It's weird because these come from YouTube, so it's a similar problem where Gmail is filtering Google emails....
> There is something to be said about PHP's staying power.

The only reason I use php for my own sites is because I don't want to administer any server and I don't want to be tied to a provider.

PHP is a good fit for this, because it's available at practically all cheap hosting providers (I don't need to administer the server with shared hosting) and I'm not tied to a single provider, because I can switch to an other hosting provider without too much effort.

With other langauges I either have to manage my own VPS (I don't want to pay for managed VPS), or I'm tied to a provider (Appengine, etc.).
Yes, I should have added that a lot of tradition/convention is arbitrary and dumb as well! Of course.
> even with only 2 accounts it takes several clicks and quite a few seconds of waiting to check all of my email because it's also fragmented with the 'social', advertisement' and 'main' tags.

I've kept those "tags" turned off on every Gmail account I control — I'd rather not risk having something important enter "social" or "promotions".
Awesome. Really well made and open-source, I’ll probably use it in the future.
Citizens apply to SSN and a corporation is created for them - they are not forced to apply for one. Even to this day you can have a baby and not apply to SSN (increasing a good idea given the state of the program)
Based on that overall experience, I held the same opinion then as I do today: "never". (I was an intern at the time, though I quickly took over the implementation and operation of our speed control and vision system.)

I have to admit: much more progress has been made than I expected in the intervening ~30 years. I still think that full self-driving with zero outside communications/support is "never", though "mostly self-driving with selective help sometimes" might be possible within the next 25 years.

It is interesting to see logical descendants of work that group did appearing in road cars. (CAN bus, Adaptive Cruise, park assist, probably others that were lab projects at the time...)
This is kind of related, but someone told me yesterday that if you move to Puerto Rico you pay 0 federal personal income tax (note: if you live anywhere else in the world as a US citizen you still pay taxes on your income), and although they have their own taxation system it's basically 0 for newcomers because they want to attract investment.

If I want to sell a large chunk of capital gains in a single year, is there anything stopping me from moving to PR for 6months+1 day to a year and paying nothing on it?
> It's certainly hard to argue that you should take away any "one" voice as that would be unconstitutional, but maybe there should be better ways of filtering information for each individual so they don't have to see stuff they don't want to.

Yeah, I think it's hopeless (at best) or totalitarian (at worst) to try to stop people from putting stuff online. You mention that the filter used to exist before (such as working for news organization or being able to run a website), but that's an unstable state of affairs - as soon as someone creates Twitter you have to either accept it's existence or take it down.

So only possible way to improve things is to create tools and know-how on information consumer side - filtering tools, easy way to check references and a habit to actually do it, good discussion platforms, etc. Anything else is a cure far worse than disease.

That IP used to resolve to n-mnstci-142.mnstci.iraq.centcom.mil . In my spare time I add information to Wikipedia, then I am taxed and some propaganda minister in the military, being paid by my taxes, gets rid of what I said and does some Orwellian rewrite if history.

These Chinese efforts seem skin to what the US government has been doing.

It's also very much frowned upon so a slow path is fine.

The _get and _set magic methods (called when getting/setting missing properties) are quite common especially for frameworks.
correct.

in the US, there will be an extra ~10% above that for FICA/unemployment. The company will probably shell out another ~$12k for health insurance (I'm speaking averages here - I know some companies are very generous, and others aren't). Factor in some x% salary matching in to a 401k - say another 5%, and perhaps some other perks. Let's say there's another ~$20k on top of the $70k - that $70k employee may cost the company $95k.

If you then want to apportion office/equipment costs, you can do that too, but that $70k employee is not costing $140k (unless, perhaps, they're being very generous with some shares and there's a cost associated with that, and perhaps tuition reimbursement, company car and some other perks on top of what was mentioned above... maybe). Those sorts of things aren't generally given to someone in the US making $70k.
"If you're doing real, creative, problem solving work, then daily physical contact with your colleagues is essential. The bandwidth of knowledge transfer is vastly in excess of anything that can be done remotely, and quickly bouncing ideas off other people will get you through problems and blockers far more effectively than anything else. We still don't have any collaboration software which can replicate this experience."

This looks alot like the argument that was initially used to push open offices, which turned out to be not so right.
Wow thank you for this concise explanation
A day rate can certainly work against you, in the same way that salary can work against you, if there's more work to be done than can be fit into X number of days at 8 hrs/day. You may end up working 12 hour days for the duration. I think the convenience of a day rate is more about not having to track work at a tight level of granularity, and having a guaranteed minimum per day, than it is about pocketing efficiencies.
This is more fantasy thinking (but hey...all the 20th anniversary Matrix articles are popping up...)

I have a list of 40 ideas that I don’t have time to build. Ideas are easy. MVPs seem easy in theory, iteration to find product market fit; that is hard. Execution and building a team after product market fit is harder. That’s where most the work is.

All of this is why a brand new founder seems like a novice when they are very secretive about an idea or want an NDA; ideas are easy. In reality, executing on an idea depends on domain expertise, which most developers, investors, random people you tell your don’t have, and know they don’t have. And most people know following through on an idea is a lot of work — they aren’t that interested in the hassle.

Paul Graham used to give ideas to founders for free.

I would suggest spending more time developing an analytical framework to identify problems. Don’t think in terms of “ideas”. Think I terms of a problem faced by an actual customer or user.

My favorite framework comes from Aaron Harris. He says you should find a customer that has their hair on fire because a prototype fire extinguisher would solve a very serious problem for them. They wont care how basic, ugly, broken, or unreliable your fire extinguisher is and won’t care what price youre asking; they want to put out the fire.
The whole point of a JIT is that you don't do naive variable name lookup.

With a proper intermediate representation you'd connect that $$ variable lookup directly to the original variable's edge.
A sense of entitlement about housing reflects expectations that are about 7 years out of date (i.e. that ownership of a decent home with a decent commute is reliably attainable through professional success). Not surprising that people are still upset about the freshly amended deal terms. When your 4-year SWE picked their college major, it would still have been a path to the kind of life his parents had.

People are getting driven around because it’s the frugal thing to do. Have you seen what parking costs?
> Taxes ensure that current landowners cannot keep all the profit, but if they owned the land before the prices skyrocketed, they're still the main beneficiaries of all the cash flowing in.

If all the taxes SF levies were on the land, landowners would not make that much profits because it would strongly eat away at their earnings.

High taxes are not a symptom of property values, high city spending is a cause not a symptom.

Is there any evidence that writing to representatives has any effect?
Thanks for asking. It's usually web apps built around some kind of networking needs. I built one where people could ask for recommendations from friends. Another one was a hybrid app where users can set a single status for themselves. Now I am working on an amazon reseller site that has curated products. I built another one where users can post their SaaS apps (kind of app store for web products). It usually dies within a few weeks because I am lost on how to promote/market these apps. And this goes on a loop. So I was looking for people with a proper business case. While I learn a lot building these apps, I figured it will be more useful if I can build it with some purpose.
Why are all the answers for this question not "yes". What is wrong with everyone.

PRC is threatening a military attack on Taiwan. Xi said so just a few weeks ago. I have never heard a similar statement from any Taiwanese politician in this century.

And they do. For a time I got a large amount of spam from dozens of cheap domains registered at Namecheap (which sold .bid domains for 0.99€). Additionally, each had a valid DKIM signature.

I notified Namecheap, including the DKIM signatures, but they told me they couldn't do anything about most of them because "they are hosted with another company". ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Though if the registrar deleted quickly these domains AND didn't make them so ridiculously cheap, maybe it would become too expansive for spammers.

In the UK we sometimes get this stuff leaking in, which is really interesting to me as obviously it fits far more poorly (ie doesn't) with the legal-historical position here.

It happens with "wage gap" stuff too; people assume the USA wage gap stats apply to them here.

Oh yeah, and we get Trump supporters.

I think copyright is the only other area I can recall where people assume USA legislation applies (that's a pre-internet example), some think you have to add © to get copyright protection.

Could cities be served better if instead of completely banning plastics, they put a huge tax on most kinds of plastics and used the proceeds to cleanup the environment?

The simple logic here is it would force everyone to use plastics only where they are absolutely necessary and avoid the unforeseen problems that usually accompany complete bans.

I think the constant reminder that reusable is the only option probably injects the idea of just carrying your shyet into the collective consciousness. To what degree I don't know, but the few times I've bought one of those reusable bags I just never used it and brought a backpack or opposable thumbs next time.

By the way, does anyone know why a lot of shops on the east coast will bag single items? I went to a CVS to buy some sunscreen and they put it in a plastic bag without even asking if I needed one.
I've always been impressed by an odd contrast within theories of this sort. The theories posit that the government acted illegally in various ways. But at the same time, the theories posit that despite this, there is some deeper framework of law that the government still has to obey. Yet what force would cause this deeper law to prevail if the state was committed to its conspiracy?

Of course, this sort of thing could only appeal in the US, where a lot of the laws aren't product of a giant conspiracy but rather a complex patchwork of local, state and federal strictures, so a spew of incoherent legal nonsense takes a given court office a while to deal with.
Not sure it’s as diabolical as in Ford’s case. Tesla’s are some of the safest cars in the country and autopilot is a work in progress. I do agree that the tolerance for edge case errors should be lower, but also as a driver you should know it isn’t a completely hands-off feature yet.

I‘d like to differ here: „You have control over your reaction to things.“.

I‘ve had my fair share of yelling at my kids, and regretting it afterwards. Or writing an inflammatory email response. Obviously, I don’t have full control over my reaction, even though I think I‘m a rather careful person. I do have a strong influence, that’s for sure.

I‘ve stopped beating myself up for knee-jerking something. The unconscious has so much control over what surfaces next. I think it was an article here on HN recently that claimed that decisions are formed up to 12 seconds before they become conscious.

You pay 0 federal income tax on income in Puerto Rico. That is, when the income is in Puerto Rico, not when you are in Puerto Rico. Capitol gains income happens where the capitol gains happen, not where you live. Even though you moved to Puerto Rico you would still have to pay capital gains tax on your capital gains in the non-territorial US. But if you had capital gains on Puerto Rican assets like Puerto Rico government bonds or you sold a stake in a Puerto Rican company in a transaction that took place in Puerto Rico, then you wouldn't have to pay tax on those gains.

If you can arrange for your capital gains elsewhere to look like income in Puerto Rico though, then you're all set.

Low-Tech Magazine: The Printed Website
I have gradually come around to the idea that AI as a term is more a statement about the user experience than the underlying technology. If a product "feels" intelligent to the user, and that is not being provided by manual human labor, it doesn't matter whether the underlying system is a lookup table, and rules based expert system, a numerical optimization technique, or a neural network. It is entirely reasonable to call game AI by that term even if the most sophisticated algorithm it uses is A*.

As an engineer, I try to use more specific terms for talking about implementation decisions like "machine learning", "deep networks" or "dynamic optimization".

It might be reasonable to raise a point like "I'm not sure that our current product actually seems intelligent to our users, what can we do to better live up to the marketing vision", but objecting to the term AI just because it means something different in engineering than in plain English seems a little bit unreasonable. If the target of your marketing is engineers, that might change things.
