Huh that’s a bizarre take on the situation. Try explaining this to a parent whose daughter is suffering from ED and Self Harm. The sociologist/apologists won’t let instagram do anything since it breaks their fantasy of free speech being always “net” positive. And Apple won’t let the parent monitor her own daughter because think about PRIVACY!!!! The truth is the industry optimizes for anarchy under the guise of liberal ideology and privacy. As society wises up to this ruse we will see great push back against the fake SV philosophy.

> Instead, I propose: we don’t necessarily have to make books work. We can make new forms instead. This doesn’t have to mean abandoning narrative prose; it doesn’t even necessarily mean abandoning paper—rather, we can free our thinking by abandoning our preconceptions of what a book is. Maybe once we’ve done all this, we’ll have arrived at something which does indeed look much like a book. We’ll have found a gentle path around the back of that intimidating slope. Or maybe we’ll end up in different terrain altogether.

This sounds really intriguing.
> I hope that since you have to “unlock” your Google Voice number before it can be ported, it’s immune to theft...

I see this sentiment posted here a lot and I'm here to say that it is sadly not a good hope. When you do a number port, the automated/efficient/normal path is that your new provider (the "gaining" provider) submits a request to the number portability authority requesting that your number be moved to its routing away from your old provider (the "losing" provider). The authority passes along the information that the gaining provider submitted and gives it to the losing provider. The losing provider is then responsible for returning an automated "yes," "no," or "wait." If "wait," the losing provider is supposed to reply again within 1 to 7 days indicating actual yes or no; if no reply, then the port will complete with no further action. If yes, then the port will complete. If no, then the port is rejected.

Now, here's the major hole: It is entirely possible to do what's called a "force port," wherein the gaining provider attests to the number portability authority that the gaining provider Really For Sure Totally Does have authorization from you (the subscriber) to take routing for the requested number. This is only supposed to be used in the case of a recalcitrant losing provider or where the losing provider has no automated system and the subscriber wants/needs the number moved Very Fast Now. But, realistically, this very much can be abused and, if an attacker is motivated, will be abused.

There's nothing Google (or, more accurately, its underlying carrier, Bandwidth.com in most cases) can do to stop a force port. All the "unlock" feature on Google Voice does is cause an automated port request to be approved if the other subscriber information matches. If an unlock is not done, then Google Voice will simply return "nope" on all port requests. But a force port can still go around that and, disturbingly, the losing carrier may not even know that a force port was done until days later when it notices that the LRN (local routing number) database no longer points the lost number at its service.

So, SMS is still a terrible idea for verification even on Google Voice numbers.

It’s my experience that there’s usually a sweet spot between ordering directly from a slow, traditional, maybe slightly more expensive than necessary official manufacturer store and amazon: The specialized enthusiast store that’s usually slightly under the radar but known to anyone in the field. For me it’s often bicycle kit, audio gear or just japanese sencha - all of the those categories are much better served by non-amazon shops that have been around for a long time, offer competitive pricing and are selling genuine, curated products only.

I’m sure there are also great shops for the items you’re looking for.

Go's GC is not currently generational. As others have mentioned, Go gives you more control over memory which helps considerably.

If you want to know more about the current progress, there is a great presentation -> blog here: https://blog.golang.org/ismmkeynote

And you can see the most recent generational GC code here:

Though my guess is it won't get merged into mainline for Go1.13 as it is already in code freeze.
> their parents paid for that tuition through taxes

The way that (modern) governments finance programs like this is exactly the opposite of your model of it. Your parents didn't pay to subsidize your education, the next generation did (this is in part why birth/immigration rates falling is taken as such bad news).

> Second, what about all the people who finish college and stay in Romania, but work in some dead end job that doesn't even need higher education?

The next ones will know from that more about the demand for educated people, and adjust accordingly; at least they mainly wasted time and not money on getting into that dead-end job.

> And lastly, this would mean keeping the people most dissatisfied with the current state of the country in the country. No corrupt government would want that. Much better for them to leave and not cause any trouble.

Sure, but should we govern based on what the government wants? The people benefit when the legitimately dissatisfied are heard rather than just swept under the rug.

As for it being a corrupt government that encourages the people most likely to become dissidents to leave the country, what does that say about the countries receiving those dissidents? Is it moral to accept masses dissatisfied people from a country that suffers more from politics than from geography? Is that moral even when that country does have enough semblance of free expression that you could conceive of dissidents making a difference from the inside?
Try only learning things with books for 4 months and then tell me it doesn't work.

I tend to notice that learning from books get a lot harder if I allow my brain to be flooded with whatever chemicals are released when I watch youtube or game of thrones. If I avoid those for a while, and avoid sugar etc, and if I work out every day and get enough nutrients etc, then my ability to learn via books is no trouble at all.

Sounds like I'm telling you to just eat your vegetables, to do what your parental archetype is already screaming in the back of your head to do, and hence might you feel like not doing it in rebellion, but it's totally true based on my experience. I used to be the biggest youtube nerd/"I only learn with video"-type around. But now I only learn via books and I feel a lot healthier as a consequence. I finally feel like my brain is functioning like it's supposed to.

The author’s premise is faulty. Most deep learning requires spaced repetition and practice. One unmotivated reading without study is not enough. That’s why we go to university instead of merely queuing up a list of books. Most people understand this I believe.

If a company is running two divisions, one that doesn't make any profit and another where they make a massive profit, which one will they focus on? If shit hits the fan, which one gets cut first?

It's interesting how the author compares and contrasts learning from books and learning from lectures. I don't entirely disagree, but I think there's an implicit caveat here: these methods are often used inefficiently. They may be intrinsically inefficient, but I think there might be diminishing returns to designing an entirely new medium instead of encouraging a few comparatively simple - but significant - improvements to how we use what we have.

I'll use math as an example since it's what I'm most familiar with. Sheldon Axler, the author of Linear Algebra Done Right, recently released a new textbook on measure theory and integration[1]. He makes the following comment in his preface to the student:

> If you zip through a page in less than an hour, you are probably going too fast.

I loved reading that because it's true, but also because most authors of math textbooks don't spell that out for students. I don't think Guns, Germs and Steel should take an hour per page, but my point is that nonfiction material should be actively engaged with, rather than passively "absorbed." When you passively read a chapter of a math textbook you'll almost certainly fail the exercises. On the other hand if you actively read the material, attempt proofs before reading the author's, investigate how many and which definitions can be removed before a proof fails, come up with your own questions, etc. then you will master the material.

I don't know how you'd do that for a non-technical nonfiction domain, but at it's core I suspect it would dramatically improve the efficiency of learning from books. Likewise, I consider it bad technique to take notes during a lecture. If your professor is implicitly encouraging this by making it so that you have no choice but to do so in order to learn the material (i.e. some material is not in the book or easily found elsewhere, or there is idiosyncratic style), then I also consider that poor form. In my opinion you can significantly improve the efficiency of lectures as a transmission medium by having students lightly read through the relevant sections before the lecture, then actively listen with their entire attention while sitting the lecture.

I also think it would be worthwhile to have lectures recorded and uploaded for a course so students can review material without needing to rely on the book. If you combine these two mediums in the way I've suggested, I really think there is not a whole lot of improvement left to do. There might be a fundamentally novel and strictly superior way of learning, but it's hard for me to see which cognitive bases aren't covered by combining these two methods.

Unwarranted cynicism is unhelpful. There are laws that determine where the money goes. Those laws and the distribution formulas are online. As are the audits. No, you won't find it with a 12-second Google search. You'll actually have to look for yourself.

It’s not making things any worse. Google already knows what your searched for and they already know what you clicked on, even without AMP. They probably know what you did on that webpage too because they’re probably using google analytics.

That would be very difficult to enforce. Most miles driven by most EVs come from home charging. That’s usually just plugging into a standard 240V outlet (or even a standard 120V outlet like you’d use to charge a phone). There’s rarely any separate metering.

More feasible would be some sort of per-mile tax based on the car’s odometer at the end of each year.

True. There's a great story about the I-580 ramp collapse in San Francisco that was rebuilt in just a few weeks in 2007 that also demonstrates that it can be done if there's the will. I posted it to HN a few weeks ago, but it didn't get any votes. I've reposted it here:

The limitation for train capacity is the need to maintain a "block" to ensure that a train has enough time to brake in the case of an emergency, without hitting the train in front of it. For Japan's high speed rail, it takes ~2.5 miles to stop a train.

On top of that, many railroads still operate with a static set of blocks, where the track is divided into areas called blocks that do not change over time. Only one train has essentially a lock on a block at a time. So a train has to own the block it is on, but also needs to get access to the next block early enough to avoid an emergency braking event. This reduces the capacity of a line.

There's a movement towards "moving block" systems, where railroads use sensors to track train movement and create a moving buffer around the train, which should increase capacity.

Almost all the books and blog posts can be made at least 10 times shorter without loss in educational value. People just include too much of irrelevant stuff when writing. Schools should teach brevity and search engines should encourage it instead of requiring people to inflate their writings as much as they can.

For many books you can just find summaries online, read/watch them and hardly loose anything compared to reading the whole book.
> Rust also uses a GC, just a particularly primitive one -- reference counting

This sounds an awful lot like the problem of modelling the turbulent reacting flow inside a rocket engine. SpaceX did some neat work on this and presented it at a GPU conference. They did some unconventional things with the GPU, allowing variable-resolution modeling. Previously, it had not been possible to accurately model an engine because the scale required to cover the whole engine could not express the detail of the microphysics.

I doubt I'd get on board a Russian jet.

Here in the US where jet travel is safe, it makes no sense to get on board a train when you can fly there so much more quickly.

That’s a much better way to describe what I was getting at.
Agreed, I wouldn't single out this move or people, for harsh criticism that should be spread much more widely.

In the context of everything that's been happening with the Web, this move is relatively minor, and you can easily imagine a rationale for it (which involves an implicit "we're the good guys, so it's OK").

Our industry has been an amped-up (ha) sociopathic echo chamber for too long, and there's no longer much reference points for earlier Internet and Web visions of what's good and appropriate.

I think Google's founders had some sense of the earlier ideas, and that's where we originally got things like fair objective rankings, and Don't Be Evil.
It's actually not so common that comments are as throughly negative as that. Rather, there are lot of partially negative comments, the kind where the author often doesn't even realize they're coming across that way. When you get enough of those, fumes accumulate into an atmosphere of negativity that is hard to breathe in. I think this is what leads to an overall impression that sticks.

Unfortunately, this kind of negativity routinely attracts upvotes, and its effect is amplified when it festers near the top of a thread. One thing we've begun doing more of as moderators is routinely downweighting indignant top subthreads to counteract this routine upvote-attraction effect. HN can't live by upvotes alone. There need to be countervailing mechanisms, or else indignation will dominate everywhere, making all threads the same.
