Yes, I think it is like 35 Cents + 3.5% or something like that, end up being ~7.5%. And if you include other cost like chargeback etc and averaged out it is likely close to 10%.

I should preface this by saying that I'm kind of a "strict Constitutionalist" so to speak.

In my view all these arguments people are making about "open environments", or "bad faith actors", or extremism or what have you are completely irrelevant. A privately owned, NON-governmental, environment is allowed to be as "open" or as "closed" as they please. If a "bad faith actor" wants to act in "bad faith", (whatever that is?), then that's their prerogative. That's their Constitutional liberty. (You ever consider this? Who, exactly, is defining what "bad faith" is anyway?) And extremism in content is fine, you don't like it, don't look at it. (Or in Facebook's case, don't have it on your system. That's fine. That's FB's Constitutional liberty.)

The Constitution really does provide room for obvious solutions to all of the arguments people are making. There's really no need to get bent out of shape about a lot of these things.
Either way, there's still too many variables. If a company's ROI drops after changing to an open work-space... some variables off the top: decreased product quality/quantity, both/none, competition, consumer needs/wants, all of the above, etc.
Ask HN: What side projects ideas are you thinking about building?
Over the years i've learned from personal experience about some of the different failure modes for getting side projects off the ground:

1) Focusing too much on making money: A side project doesn't have to be a business and probably shouldn't to start with. Once it reaches a certain level you can try to make it a business afterwards.

2) Not enough focus on learning: Side projects only focused on making money don't provide enough motivation (see #1) to keep things going when the resistance sets in (no customers). Focusing instead on learning new technologies through the project can provide an extra boost of continued motivation.

3) Not setting up milestones and getting feedback: Without getting the right amounts of dopamine hits, in the form of feedback from peers and mentors

As an experiment in addressing these challenges, we @ Bridge.Academy are hosting a side project challenge:

Sorry for the late reply. I seem to have the 1976 edition (I didn't think of checking the edition before buying mine! DOH!) I would say it was good enough for learning the language, although the references to mainframes and terminals are obsolete. (Picturesque, if you like that sort of thing, but obsolete.) If you can get the latest edition (1991) it's probably better.

I ended up buying that book because from all the online resources I was able to find at the time, I failed to understand the gist of the language, or how you are supposed to think in order to solve problems in APL. Which is profoundly different from all other languages, and which the book taught very well. I've also been using paper books to learn programming since forever, so it's a workflow I'm used to.

That being said, there are some free resources that you could try first:

https://www.dyalog.com/uploads/documents/MasteringDyalogAPL....

The latter is about Dyalog APL, a dialect of APL, so not all of it will be applicable to GNU APL.

About the font, any Unicode font will do, but for graphical consistency I would recommend downloading this one. You can use it with any modern terminal application:

https://www.dyalog.com/uploads/files/download.php?file=fonts...

About the keyboard, if you are on Linux you can just add one of several APL variants to your existing national keyboard. You will have to designate an APL key (eg. the useless menu key) to use as a special alt-like key to input APL symbols. If you're not comfortable typing blindly, you can buy a keyboard with APL symbols on it, or alternatively buy or print stickers to apply to yours.

I spent an entire summer learning APL for fun (that was way before GNU APL existed, so I had to struggle with various proprietary interpreters, either freeware or demoware, on top of the weird language + font + keyboard!) I then went on to compete in Code Golf challenges and other random things using it and had a blast!

I still miss APL. IMHO none of the successors (J, K) come close to the beauty of its symbols. It's also a very different way of writing algorithms (sometimes called "multi-dimensional array programming") that is not found in modern programming languages.

> city-level policy-making

How would you propose to do this? Houston is an incredibly large and diverse city, and different places have different needs. It's much easier for people from the actual place to come to a resolution than bureaucrats in a council chamber, many of whom have essentially zero specific knowledge of the area or problem at hand.

> why not apply the same logic wholesale

I think we should. The more sovereignty we can reserve to individuals, the better. That which must be given up should be given first to as hyper-local an organization as possible, growing in scope/scale only as needed.

> why not... say that we don't need city- or state-level governments at all?

Because obviously some things (like, say, some city issues) can't be handled well by a government smaller than a city. This doesn't mean that everything needs to go to them. You're deliberately misunderstanding my arguments to try to discredit them.
It's dead easy to migrate an existing PostgreSQL install to Citus (application code can all stay the same), so it's a great way to scale your application when you need it, and at the same time just use PostgreSQL for when you don't need scale yet (99% of all apps).

Again, Facebook absolutely has the right to censor political views using whatever arbitrary rationale they want. I just object to dressing it up with PR euphemisms such as "Standing Against Hate". They're not doing it to stand up against hate (Facebook is a cesspool of very thinly veiled hate against immigrants, for example). They're doing it for political expediency and PR.
cool story, but the whole Virtuous Programmer vs Villainous Business-Type narrative is a bit of a tired trope. and daniel having been "pushed out" of more than one project makes things a bit more uncertain (at least to me) on who's "obviously" the good guy and who's "obviously" the bad guy.

> Because the "new ones" are the kids of the "existing ones", in many cases, if not most.

Do you have a source for this? Personally I don't buy it.

But just for a second, let's assume that's the case. Would you be OK with limiting rent subsidies to just those who either have provably been residents for multiple years (let's say 5+ years) or have long-time roots (e.g. family)? I don't think any city owes expansion and housing supply and a re-architecture to accommodate just anyone who wants to move there.
If your argument for restricting free expression can just as easily be used to justify, say, Hollywood studios blacklisting communist screenwriters, that's another thing to consider.
Lessons from Stripe
According to the article, the lawsuit is predicated on the assertion that Salesforce did know how its products were being used. I don't know anything about the facts here, but if that's true, then it sounds like they might have some legal responsibility.

Unlike what you are saying, the case is not about whether or not Salesforce should have known they were supporting criminal activity. Rather, the lawsuit asserts that they did know.
From my perspective, it usually derives from some kind of 'think of the jobs' mentality.

An Abstract Domain for Certifying Neural Networks
There are existing, established terms—used consistently by both the Open Source and Free Software communities—for those different kinds of licenses, and the terms are “permissive” for what you call “open source” and “copyleft” for what you call “free software”.

Under your terminology, the GNU All Permissive License, despite clearly originating in the Free Software community, would be an ”open source” rather than “free software” license.

> There is a difference between those two and there are definitely communities that prefer one over the other.

The FSF, by the actual recommendations it states on its list of licenses, explicitly prefers copyleft licenses for large programs, but considers permissive licenses fine for smaller programs and supporting files (and has specific recommendations as to which permissive licenses should be used.)

The OSI is less prone to state preferences, and it'd be a misnomer to conflate the open source community with people who unconditionally prefer permissive licenses.

Always wondered why some folks want the city to be as shitty as possible. First compelling reason I've read.
Here's my story. I earned a BS in Physics and Mathematics in 2012. My grades were good and my academic advisers suggested I apply to PhD programs, however I knew that a PhD wasn't for me. Instead I went into an MS in applied physics and got an internship at a laser and semicon equipment company that paid me more than the cost of my MS. The company was going through a cycle of poor business results while I was an intern there, so after graduation in 2013 things didn't work out and I left to find other work. I ended up as an applications engineer at a synthetic diamond company. When I started at the synthetic diamond company I had some really interesting projects to work on. In the 5 years since, the dynamics of the business have ended up with me in a product management / business development role, which is OK but I'm not especially passionate about it. Also, the compensation, skill development, and future prospects of my role leave a lot to be desired. Because of this I'm looking to make my next career move soon.

I've spent a lot of time over the past year thinking about what my next move should be. In this time I've also become hooked on coding, mostly python. My current plan is to pivot into (you guessed it) data science. I expect that this will lead to better pay, vastly more potential employers, and allow me to get back to working on interesting projects.

In hindsight, if I could do everything over I'm not sure I would go into physics. What I've seen is that physics is mostly a field of niches that are filled by specialists. To go far in physics you need to become a specialist, however this can really limit your options later. I think this is why many physicists eventually find themselves going into other fields like data-science.
The assumption here is that 6) "can't be used broadly" is true. What evidence do you have for this? It turns out this technology is already being used everywhere: text translation, image recognition, autonomous vehicles, text generation and so on. It's already generating huge value which is why so many companies are investing so much in it. There isn't going to be any Winter coming anytime soon.
There's a difference between supporting someone's right to speech and handing them a microphone and gathering up an audience for them.

One is contracted by the US government to provide public infrastructure (and AFAIK still hasn't fulfilled their end of the agreement), and the other is an entity that operated and grew organically to provide a service that the government didn't ask for.
Yes, it's like book burning. It makes the banned content more enticing. This is the big issue with New Zealand banning the recent shooters manifesto. What if news organizations want to read it to report on it (even if it is just to say, this is why he's a nutjob)? Banning his manifesto grants it more important. It shows the government is afraid of it for some reason.

Mein Kampf is still available for purchase in NZ. I've personally looked through his manifesto and think it should be discussed in schools, so students and teachers can explore his breaks in logic and contradictory statements. If you understand people like that, maybe you can identify them early on, or encourage attitudes in general that would prevent those xenophobic ideas from developing.
It's somewhat buried in the OP, but if you're having this problem as well (particularly with repeated keys, as I am with a brand new fully-loaded MacBook Pro 2018) and don't have time to wait for your keyboard to "bake," I've had some success with https://github.com/aahung/Unshaky as a customizable software debouncing solution. Having occasional "aardvark -> ardvark" errors from aggressive debouncing of my repeating A key is superior to haaving aall my text look like this. It's not perfect, though, and I've had to delete multiple words in this post even with it on.

I hate how addicted I am to Apple's still-glorious desktop UI, font rendering, and trackpad dynamics. Their other hardware choices make me detest their brand. But there's no other way to get my "fix."
I agree with you. Apologies; I was unclear. Scenario in my head: actor (a) spreads hate speech, actor (b) goes and kills someone named as the hated party by (a).

Unless (a) directly incited (b) (via the boundary test you cited), (a) isn't legally guilty of anything.

But if the law discovers (b) heard (a) and acted because they believed (a)'s rhetoric, (b)'s crime rises past just violent crime to hate crime (because their reason to commit violence was a hate-crime motivation).

AI winter doesn't mean people stop using it. AI winter and spring aren't a phenomenon specific to AI...in essence it's the same dynamic found in economic bubbles. In almost every economic bubble we see actual economic benefit underlying the hype, but the hype grows bigger than the benefit can account for, triggering eventual collapse of the hype. The thing that you should notice is that when the bubble collapses we don't stop buying, we just stop overinvesting.

We haven't stopped buying tulips, trains, stocks, technology, or real estate. And just as well, we haven't stopped using symbolic AI, single-layer neural nets, ensemble models, expert systems, or logic programming languages. The new topological enhancements to Neural Nets won't ever go away either...but that doesn't mean we won't see a drop in investment once the general public realizes that your neural nets aren't going to learn how to do double-entry accounting any time soon. The AI winter isn't characterized by the technology going away, it is characterized by lofty idealism being shattered and investment dropping back to reflect reality.

You're misunderstanding (or deliberately misrepresenting) what free-speech absolutists are saying. Nobody is saying that Facebook should be "forced" to host any particular content, any more than anybody is saying that homedepot.com should be forced to host any particular content. What we are saying is that Facebook is no longer a platform for free and open exchange of idea and is engaging in censorship - and it's open season to point out that everything that they _don't_ censor (e.g. calls for violence against politically unprotected groups) is something that they explicitly condone.
