> Abstract math is connected to the real world because if it wasn't it wouldn't exist.

I'm not a mathematician by any means, but seeing that we know very few things about the foundations of the real world I think that trying to strongly link mathematics to it (meaning to the real world) also means "dragging" maths down to not really having any clear foundations.

Yes, I do know of the opposite road taken by some very smart people, i.e. tying maths to reality, finding the foundations of maths and how maths work => we now have a pretty good out idea of the foundations of reality (for lack of a better expression) and how reality "works" via its connections with maths.

It's just that even though we've been quite successful up until step 2 (meaning in postulating the maths <-> reality connection and in finding out how maths really works) it is my understanding that until now we have failed quite miserably at step number 3, as we haven't got the slightest idea of what this "reality" is made up of (again, for a lack of a better expression).

> Nobody replaces their Mach 3 cartridge after every other shave but that's a common recommendation for DE blades

No, it's not. If anything there is a belief that DE blades actually stay sharp and last longer than cartridge blades. I don't know if there's any evidence to that, but the effect is that many DE shavers keep their blades for a number of shaves. I suspect that some are more inclined to swap blades frequently because the blades are so (comparatively) cheap.
The main issue that has to be solved is name squatting.

That's why you pair the immutable integer with a mutable slug. Nobody memorizes slugs so you don't have to worry about supporting the case of a user manually typing in the URL from memory (which is about the only time when having a short integer in the URL would matter). With this scheme, you can change the slug at will, and in fact you can support loading the URL without having a slug at all, or with a made-up slug. This makes the URL resilient to minor transcription errors (e.g. accidentally deleting the last character of the URL, or screwing up when retyping it), and it also means anyone who's aware of this behavior can skip the slug entirely when retyping the URL.
Money laundering often does involve tax evasion. You can launder a source of income that would be taxable into another source that isn't. Laundering the proceeeds of crime to avoid confiscation may or may not do this.

The implied point I didn't spell out is that it can be difficult to launder money without taking a nominal loss. Obviously, if you can avoid it, you do. But if the loss is less than the loss you fear from not laundering, it still looks attractive.

I don't know the chinese case, but I'm assuming capital controls and other laws in both china and the receiving country in some way make it easier to buy and keep real estate compared to more productive assets. There are also advantages such as helping with visas, etc

I understood the 1.2-1.5 trillion number to be the cost of "fusion as a viable energy source" not the cost of ITER. ITER itself, to be clear, won't generate electricity. It's a demonstrator project that proves the viability of some of the technologies that would be prerequisites to an eventual successful electricity generation project. Its planned successor, DEMO, will be even bigger, and will be the first one that actually generates net electricity, but even that won't be geared towards commercial use on the grid -- nobody will ever build these things for commercial use, even if we get to the point more energy comes out than goes in, if they cost tens of billions apiece. Even if both ITER and DEMO go exactly to plan, multiple additional major technological advances will be necessary before the any of it is commercially viable.

The things you're talking about are already protected by patents, and the copyrightability of APIs have nothing to do with them. At the very least, for something to be copyrightable it must be some specific fixed expression (a piece of text, image, video or audio). So the O v. G ruling applies only to actual (code) APIs; not to protocols (or REST "APIs") and certainly not to stuff that's already protected by patents (the distinction between the two may not always make sense to programmers, but it is what it is; for example, algorithms are patentable but not copyrightable, while programs are copyrightable but not patentable).

We also don't hear about the failures that most successful people have had on the way to success. All of the people that I've known who have had success also had a series of failures that preceded it.

It's just that nobody is very interested in talking about the failures -- which is too bad, I think. We learn through failing. As the old saying goes: "I've never learned anything by being right."

In the comment you're referring to, "and declines to point out that her grand jury ended years ago", the "her" was absolutely correct because it was referring to her grand jury, not to the new one for Assange. The whole comment was irrelevant, because it doesn't matter whose grand jury it was that caused her imprisonment, but you're quibbling with the wrong thing and the only outcome of your use of scare quotes is to make it look like you're taking issue with her pronouns.

Kotlin uses the same VM and API, so it makes no difference in this regard. It's not a big change – it's fully interoperable with Java. You can easily take a single class in a Java application and rewrite it in Kotlin, and everything continues working just as before.

Google adopted it because, as they more or less said in the announcement, it was already being adopted by the community and it hugely improved development experience.
That is a gross mischaracterization of what Oracle did. They didn't just defend a copyright in court. They pushed to extend copyright to a mostly functional element that copyright law has not traditionally been thought to cover. It's a tremendously harmful viewpoint for interoperability.
I used to be a dedicated DE shaver; once I grew a beard, I started shaving only to clean my neck and cheeks, and decided to try cartridges again. So I tried Harry's. And man, I wanted to like them, but a Mach 3 blade is just so much better it's kind of dismaying. The Mach 3 (i.e., three-blade head) is smaller and more maneuverable; the blades seem sharper, or at least certainly glide more smoothly with less irritation; and there's actually a bit of an ecosystem around them -- I'm using a Parker handle with mine, about $30 but better than (the admittedly good) Harry's handles.

I'm glad Harry's found a nice exit, I guess, although on general principle I wish they'd been more invested in staying independent than they evidently were.

Friday Night PowerPoint Hour
It is one of the first skills you should master.

- it is hard to make good money if you are not good talking about money.

- talk money first - do not spend days writing a detailed proposal just to discover later your proposal is way over the client's budget: your first proposal should be verbal, the detailed proposal should be the contract once the verbal proposal is accepted (even worst, don't give for free a detailed proposal your client will use to bargain with your competitors). Many clients will resist to disclose the budget but you should argue: too often people say we are too expensive, let's make sure we don't waste each other's time knowing at least the investment ballpark.

- run from clients that say they want to invest as little as possible.

- if the prospect don't know how much they want to invest you probably are selling to the wrong person - always insist to present the deal to someone that is able to financially approve the investment. Decline to present your proposal if the person is late or can't attend to the meeting, say you can wait for 20 minutes and if the person is unable make it, reschedule. Don't waste time with minions.

- in order to frame the business proposition as an investment you must understand how much the problem costs.
Barbasol started their own cheap razor delivery. Theirs stay clean compared to how clogged Harry's and Gilette's get.

> Nobody replaces their Mach 3 cartridge after every other shave but that's a common recommendation for DE blades.

Yeah, but you can buy a box of 100 DE blades for, like, $15. (Seriously: see https://www.westcoastshaving.com/collections/bulk-de-safety-...) So even if you change the blade every other shave, it still comes out cheaper.

This is a benefit of standardization: DE blades all have a common form factor, so any handle can use any blade. That means every DE blade maker is competing with all the others, which drives prices down. Cartridges on the other hand are all proprietary to the vendor that made the handle they fit with, so there's much less downward pressure on the pricing.

> if that isn't a strong indictment of saving pennies, I don't know what is.

The thing about a DE blade versus a cartridge is that with a DE the range of possible outcomes is much wider than it is with a cartridge. A DE blade can produce shaves ranging from "ow, I cut myself!" to "smooth as a baby's bottom", depending on the technique you apply to it. A cartridge won't ever cut you, but it'll also never give you as close a shave as you can get with a well-wielded DE blade; it provides a consistently mediocre shave every time.

To put this in terms HN readers will appreciate, arguments about DE versus cartridge tend to be kind of like arguments about vim/emacs versus IDEs. Vim and emacs users love to talk about all the crazy things they can do with their editor that no IDE can match, but they rarely talk about the learning curve they had to climb to reach that level of technique. Whereas IDEs tend to be less elegant, but by hewing more closely to modern desktop interface standards they let their users reach an acceptable level of productivity faster. Those IDE users will never reach the heights of wizardry that are possible with vim or emacs, but since very few programmers are true wizards anyway that doesn't really matter much to everyone else. Like the cartridge razor, the IDE is "good enough."

> Clara leaves. Lyla begins to circle, seemingly in a panic, and then creeps toward the door where Clara exited. Then Lyla meows. And meows. And meows.

Growing up, I had always assumed my cats didn't care didn't when I left them alone. And maybe those cats didn't. But of the 3 cats I've had as an adult, I've been able to get recordings of 2 of them standing at the door and meowing for a few minutes when I leave the house. They also run out and greet me and my husband when we return home. Those two never even met each other, so they each developed those behavior independently. They each had another cat at home to keep them company - but they really do have a strong social attachment to their humans. The other cat... not so much. But I definitely am not surprised to see that studies are finally confirming that some cats are socially quite clever and capable - but it's highly dependent on the particular cat, relationship with the human, and the environment they're in.

The funny thing is that from a purely technological point of view, Java (even the 5-year-old Java 8 and certainly recent versions) is far ahead of most other stuff hyped on HN (as well as less hyped stuff).

The technology is certainly impressive but it isn't equipped to deal with the modern world. It is trivial to run 10 Node.js applications in the memory of one JVM application. This never used to be a problem, but now the cloud is forcing apps to pay for the resources they use its a kiss of death.

There is also the move to serverless and the slow start of the JVM which makes it literally the worst choice out of all the alternatives.

Oh, and lets not even start on the train wreck of Oracle's stewardship -- Java 11 is competing with Java 8.

Java will survive but I cannot see it having any place in a modern software stack.

I don't think there's any state that allows you to change the locks and not give the landlord access.

I've rented an over-the-garage studio in the past, and the landlord came in one time without notice when I was away because the supply line to the toilet burst and there was water dripping from the garage ceiling. That's the sort of emergency we're talking about here, where a landlord needs immediate access, and any delay will cause additional structural damage.
The shaving subculture prevalent in 'higher' circles tends to favor manual/artisan shaving. For this cadre, shaving is a ritual, not a necessary evil.

For me its a necessary evil, so I use a 5 year old electric razor with which I have never installed replacement blades. I still get a smooth shave, no cream, no oils, no water, 1 minute max, and then I'm out the door for the day.

This is blasphemy, I know.

It is hard to make a non-lethal weapon which is effective.

When the taser was first commercialized there was an article about it in the newspaper of my town. Some cops tried zapping each other with it. One was knocked on his ass, but the police chief had a high BMI and could barely feel it.

The old tasers were safe but not very effective. After years of experience they increased the energy and they got to be more effective but occasionally deadly, certainly more painful.

With chemicals it is the same. You can knock people out with opioids or benzodiazepines or both but you have some chance they stop breathing or they are already addicted and have a tolerance and there is no effect. An oral surgeon can sedate you without much risk in an outpatient setting, but he gives you pure oxygen to breathe and has a pulse ox on your finger.

Tear gas can go all the way from "they laugh at you" to "permanent lung damage", etc.

Beanbags, "rubber bullets" and such all occasionally kill and aren't always effective.

Unfortunately there is no "phaser set to stun".
