I have focused on election integrity. For me, arguing the relative merits ranked choice voting strategies is (unforgivable) bikeshedding and ultimately results in no action. Like getting stuck arguing 4.5x vs 4.75x better than FPTP while the world burns.

For election integrity, other real world concerns also must be factored. Like voter education, verifying the hardware & software, ease of tabulation & auditing, feasibility of doing a manual recount, etc.

In conclusion, Approval Voting is almost as fair as the ideal Score Voting but much easier to implement.
> I question why that isn't the assumed position. :(

I suspect that each paradigm alone is easier to innovate in, than assuming that each is developed sufficiently to connect together.

"Integrating technologies for benefit" is a common view for intellectuals or business-people outside of a discipline who only know enough to see every key-worded algorithm or technology as a black box. Researchers in a field, that need to make a career for themselves by choosing problems tractable and filled with smaller parts, would see difficulties as to how and why that might be inappropriate at a given time.
You don't though - both are $10 a month. So a price difference can't explain Apple Music's rising popularity.
The way I look at it is that my employer isn't paying me to "make X", they're paying me so I'm not doing anything else.
>Spotify app is just a few clicks away

A few clicks is practically Mt. Everest for end users. Look at the search engine in Safari. It's a "few clicks" to change it but Google still pays Apple 8 billion dollars a year to be the default.

Mark Watson's the reason I started down the AI/CL rabbit hole back in 1991 with his "Common LISP Modules: Artificial Intelligence in the Era of Neural Networks and Chaos Theory" book that now retails for over $80 on Amazon! I had started on early neural networks a year or two before, but that book roped me in. I think CL will have another AI Spring.
I still don’t understand how Spotify doesn’t invest more in its iOS experience. Sure, they don’t have access to Siri, but that’s the only thing outside their control: The Spotify app takes far too long to load for a music player, even on an iPhone XS; the UI takes a one-size-fits-all approach to list views that looks slapdash compared to Apple Music’s nice album view; the now-playing screen is cluttered and still inexplicably hides the status bar on modern, large phones.

And don’t get me started on how they threw away their excellent iPad UI in favor of a blown-up version of the phone UI.

If Spotify is losing to Apple Music, the answer is a better core experience, not bundling Hulu.
This should be on CNN at least.

> But the kind of scalability I'm talking about here is scalability to the number of tenants, the number of applications that we can be hosting at one time. The challenge with this is that, again, we don't want people to choose one or two or five locations where their software runs; we want it to run everywhere. We want everyone's code running in every one of our locations. And some of our locations are not that big. Though some have lots and lots of computers, but others have maybe a dozen machines. How do you fit- we have 10 million customers- on a dozen machines? Turns out that the existing technologies for this, the existing server-side technologies, don't live up to the task. What we really need is basically 100X efficiency gain in number of people we can host and 100X decrease in how many resources each one is using.
One thing has been increasingly clear over the last few years: a lot of people are basically OK giving large governments more power and relinquishing what I think of as basic rights.

Not just overseas, but here in the US a lot of people just don't care about rights and think the government is the solution to everything if you just give them enough power.

Not sure how to keep rights, honestly. The Constitution and the courts help, but only for so long.

The only thing I can think of is that it could work in a poorer country (or at least relatively poorer) because people would self-select to be there for the freedom, and people who don't care bout freedom would follow money somewhere else.

ElasticSearch indexing is really quite slow (everything running over HTTP probably does not necessarily help, though you are using a somewhat botchy batch API anyway) -- think 5k items per second for something like e.g. HN posts --, it really is tuned for retrieval performance. Even on really quite mediocre hardware you can do full-text queries across ten(s) of GB and they'll rarely take longer than, say, 50 ms.

People dismiss the cost of maintaining the platform. I believe Apple’s cut is too much, but Spotify has to pay for the platform, the same way artists pay Spotify for a platform to share their music.
When I watch this video, I think about how my mind needs to expand to better understand the complex issues that these authentic people are describing.

It's artificially lowered because the Federal Reserve is manipulating interest rates, rather than allowing them to fluctuate based on the conditions in the market.

Interest is basically the adjustment made to value having money now vs having money in the future (how much would I have to pay you next year in order for you to not ask me to pay you now). An interest rate of 0% means $100 now vs some arbitrary point in the future are of equal use to you, which is irrational. Obviously getting $100 now is better than getting $100 in 5 years.

In fairness, interest rates aren't that low. I'm not sure if interest rates equal to inflation would be the same thing as interest of 0% in a 0 inflation world. I'm not an economist.
Huntington sucks. A neighbour of mine got it a long time ago, and in the beginning he just got slightly weird, then his wife left and got custody, then the delusions started setting in and before he really got any help he had killed himself.

Not really. You can usually choose another retail chain if you think the one you currently use is pricing competing products unfairly towardd with their own brand.

In the case of Apples App Store, you can't change store without a significant cost in both time and money. You literally have to buy a non-Apple phone to be able to change retailer. Potentially also having to leave behind significant already paid for products, both hardware and software.
100%

I often wonder if the trans-rights movement is stuck in this kind of rhetorical cul-de-sac because the gay rights movement leaned so hard on "born this way" to make its case. That made sense because it moved the discussion away from sexual morality toward fairness. No doubt necessary to win the concessions and public opinion change of the 00s-10s.

In reality it shouldn't matter how innate sexual preference or gender identity are. People should be free to identify and fuck as they please. Unfortunately some on the ultra-woke side of the trans rights movement have continued to paint themselves into the corner of "born this way" but then have to backfill their biological epistemology to fit their rhetoric.
Since it's such a trivial non-issue, shouldn't it be easy to accommodate someone's preference without conflict? Do you believe that anyone who's ever expressed a preference on a trivial non-issue was deliberately trying to create conflict?

You would have to correct for older people aging out since they make up a greater portion of the population than before.

I would expect percentage of employed over age of 18 to be declining simply because the number of people retiring (or unable to work due to age) is greater than # of entering labor force.
I invest in index funds that follow the S&P 500 according to a formula. The data shows that they tend to outperform managed funds in the long term. With so many people following the same strategy it will be interesting to see if that stays true long term, but the problem is the same as it ever was.

How do you identify an active fund manager that will outperform the market over a long time period?

Do they still outperform the market when you also price in their fees?
The govt could just print the money out. Sure inflation, but when your economy is crashing inflation will encourage spending
I don't want to make it reductionist at all, you're right.

A more enlightened view of compensation, if you need a more general economic way of looking at it, is: "In a world where most of economic value exists in human relationships or in computation, compensation is more about (1) how accounting reflects that economic reality, and (2) how well the compensated individual extracts accounting value from whatever big picture the accountants came up with."

In that sense, unions are exactly the remedy, because they negotiate how these employees are paid relative to the accounting value of their business.

It's all accounting! I can't emphasize this enough--you can pay the employees 2x as much, or 10x as much, or 1/2x as much, and Fortnite will be EXACTLY as fun as it is now. That's what people are outraged about.

This is totally unlike another notoriously unionized industry, autos, where a lot of the value is tied up in really objective, physical stuff like gas mileage or maintenance. Most of the economic value of Fortnite is in the experiences it makes between friends and the computer code consistently delivering that experience, whether on your phone or in the servers.

Supply/demand as the framework is kind of a stupid point of view. We can't listen to too many finance/economics people, especially the rich ones we actually hear from as opposed to the poor ones who may be right but whom we don't give a shit about. The rich ones aren't in the ground level of humanity anymore. That's what the perspective on HN is really about: sorting out which rich person you agree with.

But if you want to do the right thing, you unionize because it will get these people paid better and feel happier at basically no economic cost.
Cool but which programming language (recent) would you recommend the OP looks at?
I bet lots of people will contribute to open source banking software if creating a bank were not extremely regulated so creating public open source bank were legal.

In that case, banking software would be very useful for the community and people will help.

The fact that something is boring has nothing to do with it. There are few things as boring as developing operating systems like Hurd or developing Wayland and dealing all day with bugs and bugs and more bugs.

Of course, people is not going to create banking software if the only ones who benefit are private companies that give nothing in return.

There must be a good reason. Something that provides the sense of deep meaning for your work. Working for free so a private company could profit out of your work does not.

Sometimes the spirit of the tax code is to protect a specific entity in a congressman’s state. The tax code has no moral authority as it’s already corrupt.

We can’t have it both ways. If loopholes are being intentionally put in we can’t blame people for taking advantage of loopholes.

I’d love a fair tax code but until we have one I won’t begrudge anyone for being smart about how they pay.

Assange is a polarizing figure. He's a reminder of how irritating it is to comply with international law (it wasn't an uncommon sentiment in the UK that they should just barge in to the embassy and get him anyway). He's a reminder of "overly liberal" European laws (there was a lot of talk about the supposedly unreasonable nature of Sweden's rape laws).

In other words, nothing directly, but just seeing his name again is, politically, so much fuel for the fire. In fact I see that this entire news story has been engineered by the Wikileaks Twitter account, both the actual story and the supposed reason for it.

It's trivial to change retailer, not so changing which app-store you use, especially not on Apple hardware.

> Time isn’t an operator

Yes, that's because time isn't actually a physical phenomenon. It's a kind of illusion, an approximation to the truth, in the same way that Newtonian mechanics is an approximation of GR in the weak-field limit. The wave function is a static, four-dimensional "thing" (it's not actually a thing, but I don't know of a more general noun). Our perception of a classical universe that evolves in "time" is not a reflection of a real underlying physical process, it's an emergent property of a sequence of subsets of the wave function in which entanglements have accumulated. Quantum information theory predicts the emergence of subsystems that are all in classical correlation with each other, i.e. a "classical universe". But none of this is actually real in a metaphysical sense.
>Why are we normalizing this?

Because it is normal.

The gender/sexual binary is the norm, but it isn't the law, and it isn't explicitly a binary, but the top of a distribution curve. People are complicated. Gender, sexuality, preference, what expressions are acceptable in society and what are transgressive, are all complex and... dare one say... fluid.

Having a sexual preference or gender identity that falls outside the heteronormative gender binary isn't a sign of genetic defect, mental illness or moral failing, it's simply not the norm, but still natural.

We need to come to the point where being gay, bisexual, transgender, whatever is seen as no different than having an unusual eye or hair color, or being left handed.
At the same time, I feel like we are talking in a bubble here about a lot of unreal examples. When people make these coffee arguments it is often to people like several of my friends who are making a low income to begin with. Where are they supposed to get this 'saving 10%' when they don't actually have any luxuries beyond their 5$ of coffee a day? Where are they supposed to take that from if they are already barely making ends meet? And then older generations tell them to take their coffee away.
is # of layoffs a misleading metric?

Sure people hate Intel for their practices, but they can afford to be hated because they still can milk the market for at least a couple of years.

I’m of the opinion that these are somewhat pathetic reasons to maintain any kind of design; let them be there, but they’re pretty minor. It’s not even clear they’re emotions worth keeping around.

Anyways, take it away from them, and they’ll just find something else to latch their identity to (eg speedrun). Or find it elsewhere. Not a big loss. A small group (actually by definition), a shallow reason, a weak design motivator.

Games are designed, with a particular experience, setting, balance, pacing in mind; if difficulty is part of that design.. then its a part of the design. That’s it.

Caveat:

Not all game features are actually part of a design.

Not all games have an intelligible design in the first place.

It's not about not buying things for yourself. It's about not paying $5 for something that is the equivalent of $1 of coffee and $0.50 of milk.

You can spoil yourself and spend money on yourself but do it for things that will actually last and be of use to you. You shouldn't be buying $5 coffees twice a day if you are sleeping on an old mattress, wear old boots, etc.

Do buy yourself expensive coffees, cupcakes or quality aged beer and wine... but make it a special occasion. You will enjoy it more that way anyway.
> Or alternatively offering something like $100 for four hours to do lifestyle street shoots.

I personally think that's not a terrible offer. $25/hour to stand around clicking pictures? It's a lot easier than most work people do for minimum wage, first, and secondly it's not like you have massive film costs or need a ton of technical knowledge anymore. 99% of the shots people want can be accomplished with stock or relatively cheap lenses, too; you don't have to be a gear-head who spends all their profits on their kit for no appreciable difference in how much people are willing to pay.

Most of us don't have $500-1000 to pay a photographer so we simply don't bother and rely on friends and family for it. I might consider getting professional pictures of my family if it didn't cost the obscene amount that it does. There's probably a market on the volume, low-cost side that simply isn't being tapped because photographers are often such dilettantes.

For someone who wants to break into photography, finding a steady supply of low-paid jobs to build up the portfolio and their name recognition for word-of-mouth marketing is probably the best way to go. You wouldn't want to be running at these wage levels for more than a year, but to start, well, there's certainly worse paths.

Historical dominance coupled with a captive media owned by a billionaire (Denis O Brien, good friend of the Clintons) who despite being proved corrupt after a €200+ million tribunal continues to get (highly legally questionable) contracts and deep discounts from the state.

For example, we've gone through multiple Garda Comissioners (head of police), a Taoiseach (head of state) and a justice minister over the treatment of a police whistleblower who was smeared as a child molester - twice, by police and the government agency in charge of childcare. But there was only one paper that remotely properly covered it, and this paper was then bought up. It was insane. And just one example of many.

Still, the two parties I speak of are on a long scale downward trend to the point where they're propping each other up with the help of a couple "independents" to stay in power.
> and yet, when we look at most of the political endorsements of Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett, Michael Bloomberg, Bill Gates and nearly all of SVs billionaires we see that they tend to favor Democratic candidates.
