> The wording that I used, "always" which according to you should have been "generally", has its own purpose of further solidifying and emphasizing the importance of being able to recognize the right acts, no matter how strong our previous beliefs might have contradicted it. The downvotes on my comment are merely the perfect illustrations, and an accurate reflection of current public trend displayed by those who possess such incapability.

This is borderline word salad. Convoluted writing doesn’t make a weak point look strong. It does make you harder to understand, but maybe that’s your intent.

You’re now trying to frame this as me holding you to some previous viewpoint that you’ve since renounced, but that’s not what happened. You expressed two contradictory viewpoints in a single sentence.

At this point I’m assuming you just misspoke and are unwilling to admit even that small error, because the alternatives are that you literally don’t understand what “always” means or that you are unable to see the logical inconsistency between “always X” and “this time Not-X”.

I think you should take another look at your own replies here, because while you talk about narcissism in others, you’re the one exhibiting an inability to acknowledge your own errors and a need to accuse those who point out your errors of lacking basic reasoning abilities.
>It has been described by federal officials as among the largest breaches of government data in the history of the United States.

Huh, that sounds like a pretty big scandal but I’d never heard of this until you posted it.
Given all that, you are not being taken advantage of, although I could argue the equity to salary ratio is off, so either a little more salary or more equity. However, with only a $1M raise there isn't a lot of room to give you more salary, and I've seen really small employee equity pools in startups in the past few years so there may not be much there either. If the company had raised $3-5m then yea it isn't rare to see a CTO type in the mid to higher 100's, but then that person usually will have quite a bit more experience than you do.

This isn't a knock against you in any way, this is just the realities of startups and business. While it is always fine to ask for a little more when certain events happen, like fundings, I don't think there is much room here for you to get any change. Although you might be able to negotiate $5-10k. You could angle for a bonus at a big milestone in the next 6-9 months, where 5-10k could be negotiated as a one-time bonus if you do well. That's easier on the business because it isn't an on-going operational cost and it can be justified by you doing something that really benefitted the business. Mind you it has to be more than you already promised or why would anyone agree to it.

If you want/need to be in the six figures (we all have reasons for what we need/do), find a job at a larger company/startup, no faulting you in that if you have a need/want.
Not for the current administration, apparently.

"...Ms. Newbold also asserted that the Trump administration had made changes to security protocols that made it easier for individuals to get clearances. The changes included stopping credit checks on applicants to work in the White House, which she said helps identify if employees of the president could be susceptible to blackmail."[0]

On reddit, go to your preferences. Down under beta test you'll find "Use the redesign as my default experience". Deselect it.

Now, even if you're following links from elsewhere, you'll get the "old" experience. No need to go to "old.reddit.com" any more.
The comment you are replying to was trying to explain the "10X programmer" idea. Nowhere was it claimed that the algorithm would have a 10X performance improvement.
Great point, I take back what I said about RAM. Thanks for that.

However, I stand by my disapproval of bleeding that into the consumer space, especially for files and hard drives. As you said, power of 2 is a hardware detail. Not something that end users (should have to) care about.
10x the speed of what? lstm-compress achieves a ratio of 1.64 bpb with a speed of 4.4 kB/s, Bellard's LSTM (small) achieves the same ratio with a speed of 41.7 kB/s.
> I also expected a lot more denials for political opinion to stop ideologically motivated whistleblowers, but barely found any such entries.

Realistically this could be a concern with nearly any ideology, so unless you were going to reject anyone who had political opinions at all (and to be honest I’d be pretty suspicious of people who claimed not to on such a form) that’s probably a nonstarter.
> Not just axioms, but all mathematical proofs are not testable by science.

By virtue of being derived from axioms?

> Are you saying that math on its own doesn't pertain to reality at all?

No, I am saying exactly what I am saying: Axioms, and thus all of mathematics, because all of mathematics is derived from axioms, do/does not make claims about reality. "1 + 9 = 10" is not a claim about reality, it's simply a statement that is consistent with the Peano axioms.

> Either way I'd imagine you find math useful

Yes, very much so. Because it so happens that it can be used to describe models of reality. But whether given mathematical structure is a good fit for describing some aspect of reality is testable. In fact ,that is the only reason why it is rational to believe that mathematics can be used to model reality.

While "1 + 9 = 10" is not a claim about reality, "1 apple + 9 apples = 10 apples" is, and a very testable one at that.

> It would be a category error to test all religious claims with science

Why?

> and unless a religion has made an explicit scientific claim that IS false, whether known or not

How do you decide whether a given claim made by a religion is a scientific claim? Is it "not scientific" just because they say so? Or is there come criterion by which to distinguish scientific religious claims from "not scientific" religious claims?
This is the reason not to ever use any of these scummy companies. What next? Should I sign over the rights to my DNA to them too so they can charge me for cell division and reproduction? Monsanto already does this. Fuck these people and their moralistic bullshit. It is our moral responsibility to not use such services if we at all care about privacy, security, and our own well being. Even DNA isn't 100% accurate. Do they think it's our responsibility to go to prison when our DNA is mistakenly matched to a crime scene too? Seriously, fuck these companies.
Could you share some good practices for separating db code and business logic? I feel like when I don't use an ORM, there winds up being inline SQL all over the codebase.
Is there much difference between development of a KaiOS app, and a ChromiumOS app?
Ok. I was under the impression that expansion had no effect on local phenomena because local phenomena always counteract expansion. But if you view light more as a wave instead of a particle then could see the argument that the light is locally stretched if there is no force keeping it from being stretched e.g. gravity or energy.
They are. An officer in charge of me in the military couldn't get his clearance renewed because after the housing bubble popped, he was forced to move to a new duty station. He couldn't afford to pay two mortgages, and couldn't sell his first home for what he owed, so he fell behind on payments and had to do a short sale. The military now provides assisstance where they'll make up the difference in situations like his, but it effectively ended his career in the military since no support system was in place at the time.

The article’s premise is that Li-ion can’t be disrupted because of the amount of current infrastructure built to produce them. I can’t help but hear a little desperation in this line of argumentation. I’m no expert, but isn’t this actually the kind of thing that we imagine vested interests in every entrenched industry saying just before they’re disrupted?

For example, if flow batteries take less capital to produce. Or, if they take different equipment, maybe their capital would be cheaper, given a lack of demand?

Neat! I like Markdown.

Out of curiosity, have you tackled email deliverability yet? If so, may I ask if you have any recommended reading sources. I recently found myself interested in the topic.
Your guess on the rationale of not requiring disclosure of outbreaks is correct, according to the LA Times [1]. In some states, hospitals face no penalty for failure to report outbreaks to even the CDC. This does result in preventable deaths.

You're right that there's no excuse per se, but one must acknowledge that desperate people will resort to desperate measures - especially those who have a family to support. It's easy to take the moral high ground until you find yourself in the sort of situation where the future of your family is on the line. History has proven that people who are normaly good can be capable of terrible things when faced with perceived threats to their survival.

The problem with points (which is also present in electrodynamics) is a wonderful example of when the hole in your present theory points the way to the next theory. We already know that Newtonian mechanics does not predict the behavior of the very small, so it is fitting that it doesn't pretend to give an answer. You could almost suggest that it points the way to the diffuseness of quantum mechanics.
Many years ago, I worked for a contractor where we required clearance. We hired this one sysadmin "stick it to the man" type of guy that was extremely well educated and talented.

When he got to the part of the form that asked if he has ever consumed drugs, he said "yes" as he should have by being honest. The follow up question asks something along the lines of, "If yes, will you ever consume drugs again?"

The jack-ass decided to answer "I won't not do them again..." We fired him a few days later.
So people think twice before doing stupid things for their own local gains?
I'd call this anything but whataboutism.

The China's example is there because it puts the threat mentioned in the title into a perspective.

We definitely shouldn't destroy any satellites, but we already did. I don't see a reason not to compare them when we discuss how big is the threat.

EDIT: to those who downvote this comment, I'd love an explanation why you think I shouldn't make this comparison. As far as I know, no country destroyed more than one, so how else am I supposed to compare them?

> Also, when was the last time a change to the SQL spec broke your app?what about the last times you had to migrate ORM code?

That's kind of an arbitrary categorization. An ORM is just a library. If you asked me when the last time I had to update my code because a library changed interfaces, I'd have an answer for you (less than a month ago, I'm sure). I'm not going to stop using libraries, though.

I've had to update my programs several times because my compiler was updated, too. That may make me choosier in the future about which compiler I pick, but I'm not going to stop using compilers altogether.
Tesla is already at $100-150/kwh.
I wonder: they mention that the powder can ignite prematurely when you place the top anvil. Could you prevent that by putting a piece of paper between the anvils? It seems to me that the paper should prevent sparks by preventing direct contact between the anvils, but be weak enough that it shouldn't affect the deflagration too much.

Then again, I'm not an expert in this kind of thing. Would this somehow make things way more dangerous in a different way?

Blind nationalism would deter our progress as a species.

Ever since NASA chief's comment, the arguments have been very polarised. What NASA said is scientifically accurate & being one of the major stake holder in ISS it has a duty to tell its opinion. There are people in International Space Station, don't forget that their family on earth would want an answer from NASA for such incidents.

The issue in the country seems to be, not what NASA said; but why did it say that!

Yes, US has conducted similar tests & its debris went further in apogee as well & since it didn't change orbit[second application of delta-v is required to do that]; it decayed eventually. Same will happen with the debris we caused as there is not much change in perigee.

If ASATs renew new arms race across the planet & everyone starts blowing satellites, it's not good for the humanity.

If Israel can enforce deterrence as a nuclear power without conducting or acknowledging major nuclear tests, India can project space warfare ready without indulging in such activities; after all there was no doubt about our rocket engineering capabilities to start with.

> the problem they are actually employeed to "solve": developers afraid of SQL. Whether they can't write it, can't learn it, or just straight hate the string representation in their code, it's the main reason people sign on for ORM.

This sounds awfully like a straw man. I've worked on several projects that used an ORM, and it was never because developers couldn't write SQL.

ORMs solve a real problem: SQL isn't composable. That's it.

Sooner or later, every non-trivial program needs to compose arbitrary pieces of one query with arbitrary pieces of another, so you'll either use an ORM (i.e., native data structures instead of raw strings), or essentially write your own ad-hoc one.

It has nothing to do with lack of ability. The staunchest ORM advocate I've worked with was also the first to pull out the debugger and single-step the MySQL driver to track down a bug (that one was nasty -- it was indeed in the driver).

I use an HTML generator, and a compiler, too, and it's not because I'm "afraid" of assembly language or that I "can't learn" HTML. These abstractions have real value.
And a better Internet IMO.

Perhaps I just got lucky, but I started my first games industry job almost a year ago and I've been doing graphics work for the vast majority of that time. I came in as a regular junior level Software Engineer, mentioned I liked graphics and tools development, and was mostly given graphics work as a result.

I've also been writing engine/graphics code for fun since I was a teenager, my copies of those books are 3rd edition and 5th edition, respectively :)
the TL;DR is economies of scale favor li-ion for the next few years even if other technology is superior in principle
I've only looked briefly at Kapita . It looks interesting, but I think what Helm gets right, and these other tools don't, is to have a real deployment story that developers can like. Helm doesn't excel here, but it's better than kubectl.

In short, I think the winning tool has to be as easy to use as Heroku. That means: The ability to deploy an app from Git with a single command.

It doesn't need to be by pushing to git. I built a small in-house tool that allows devs to deploy apps using a single command. Given some command line flags, it:

* Checks out a cached copy of the app from Git

* Finds the Git diff between what's deployed and current HEAD and pretty-prints it

* Checks the CI server for status

* Lints the Kubernetes config by building it with "helm template" plus a "kubectl apply --dry-run"

* Builds the Helm values from a set of YAML files (values.yml, values-production.yml etc.), some of which can be encrypted with GPG (secrets.yml.gpg) and which will be decrypted to build the final values.

* Calls "helm upgrade --install --chart <dir>" with the values to do the actual deploy.

The upshot is that a command such as "deploytool app deploy --red mybranch" does everything a developer would want in one go. That's what we need.

The tool also supports deploying from your own local tree, in which case it has to bypass the CI and build and push the app's Docker image itself.

Our tool also has useful things like status and diff commands. They all rely on Helm to find the resources belonging to an app, and we did this because Helm looked like a good solution back when we first started. But we now see that we could just rely on kubectl behind the scenes, because Helm's release system just makes things more complicated. We only need the YAML templating part.

I hate YAML templating, though, so I think something Kubecfg is the better choice there.
Composition over inheritance solves only certain language problems where limitations of expressive power make the code less transparent or flexible, but it’s not a solution for decomposition. The problems with properly used inheritance arise only in sufficiently old and evolved code, because decomposition of one domain does not necessarily describe well another (evolved) domain. Programmers tend to think that every problem in the world should be addressed by better coding, so they try to change their coding practices. In fact, solution here is managerial - throw away the old code and do the decomposition once again, for the new circumstances and new requirements. OOD and inheritance work well, so let’s not blame them for the use cases which they cannot solve.

You can reliably predict a whataboutism argument will be in the top comments on any HN post that follows the format:

It's to the point that there's typically limited discussion about the topic itself and a lot of back and forth whataboutism.

Why is this capitalism's fault? It sounds like one crappy company has a pyramid scheme business model. What we should expect under capitalism is that competing studios where they don't spam you about their teacher training should start winning their business.
I'll answer my own question: This is not a MWh of installed capacity, this is a MWh of discharge. That is, over the expected lifetime of a storage installation, consuming one MWh from such an installation would cost $187. Still much more expensive than alternatives (about 4x the cost of nuclear) but arriving in the realm of feasibility.
I saw Anand Mariappan (snr. dir. eng. at Reddit) speak at the Landing Festival Berlin last week. I was amused to note that both he and the organisers of the conference touted his management of the redesign as a highlight of his career. I do not use Reddit often, but I detest the new design.
I had this in 2001 when I had a very bad bout of the flu. Toward the end, food started to taste like sand. There were really no other symptoms, though that was bad enough. Went to the doc and he asked if I had HIV (answer: no). He said he'd never seen it in a healthy person. He gave me some lozenges that were almost worse than the original problem. About 3-4 weeks later it was mostly gone. It minorly flared up in the years after that, if I had a cold and skipped brushing my teeth.
China faced no consequences, US faced no consequences a year after the Chinese one, and I doubt India will face any consequences now.

It's absolutely not okay and no country should do it. Saying "you shouldn't" to everyone else isn't gonna be effective at all when the precedent is set. Singing a treaty (like the nuclear treaties we've signed) might.

Glibness aside: it's not like Capitalist thought has definitive opinion about the quality and character of businesses that amass capital. That's part of free market economics. Captialism is the opinion that capital owners should have total and singular control of business. I think you're talking about the mechanics and stability of free markets, which may or may not occur under various forms of capitalism.
