Darkness/light are not the only clues you might have to how much time has passed.

Other clues may be sounds you hear around you -- like other people going about their business (making breakfast, talking, etc), or cars driving past. These clues might be registered by your subconscious, even when you're not consciously aware of them.

Another clue is how rested you feel. If you wake up feeling incredibly tired, you probably haven't gotten much sleep.

Yet another clue is temperature, as it tends to get colder at night and warmer during the day.

The smell of breakfast or coffee could give you a clue. How hungry or full you feel could be a clue, as could needing to go to the bathroom.

There are probably plenty of other clues as well. In the absence of such clues, I'm not sure how well one would be able to guesstimate time after being asleep.

Wikipedia article [1] says that US has been also involved in industrial espionage:

> In 1999, Enercon, a German company and leading manufacturer of wind energy equipment, developed a breakthrough generator for wind turbines. After applying for a US patent, it had learned that Kenetech, an American rival, had submitted an almost identical patent application shortly before. By the statement of a former NSA employee, it was later discovered that the NSA had secretly intercepted and monitored Enercon's data communications and conference calls and passed information regarding the new generator to Kenetech

Also, other article [2] mentions that West had earlier stolen a secret of porcelain manufacturing from China.

Are those the examples of proper, not dubious "ethics" that we should learn from? Did Europeans returned the stolen secret?

Right, I don't mean the VCs themselves or any particular parties - rather more the expanded role of venture capital in tech startups (esp. looking for unicorns) allowing companies to ride out net losses for long periods of time, distorts our perception of technology and business in a variety of ways, including this hype problem.
I used to work for Disney and we were tasked with constraining the possible messages to exclude potentially offensive material. It does keep out the obvious no-effort messages with swear words, and it does tend to reduce negative messages. But it was interesting and sometimes fun to see the creative ways people would write bad words or sexually suggestive materials or tell each other off. It’s not possible to stop all offensive content with constraints or technology. Not yet anyway.

Is it that building housing doesn’t work? Or is it that building housing doesn’t work unless you build enough of it quickly enough?

Doing better than SF at building housing is a pretty low bar. I see no evidence that the high-demand cities that are building more housing are building it at a rate that keeps up with demand. As it is, what housing they are building is probably helping keep rent prices rising gradually instead of spiraling out of control as they are in SF.
I wouldn't expect that. Is this the kind of thing that would be reported by the Steam hardware survey (if that's still a thing)?

> Earliest written records are from the Sasanid Empire.

I assume you mean the earliest records that document the name "Iran"? Written records of that region go back multiple thousands of years before the Sasanids.

I did find on Wikipedia at various points the claims that...

- The name "Persia" is just a misunderstanding of the provincial name Fars or Pars; the country has never thought of itself that way.

- The name Iran dates to the 3rd century AD.

Those two claims, both of which you seem to be repeating here, conflict in a pretty obvious way. The classical Greeks fought against and eventually conquered an empire they knew as "Persia", the Achaemenids, several hundred years before the Sasanids were established. Cultural contact between Greece and Persia was quite extensive, with many Greeks serving as mercenaries in Persian armies.

Wikipedia saw a big fight over the endonym of Achaemenid Persia -- the page went from noting it as "Parsa", rendered in Old Persian cuneiform, to claiming it was known by the modern Arabic name, rendered in modern Arabic -- a development at least a thousand years too late to be plausible -- to now recording "ch'shassa" ("the Empire"), again in Old Persian cuneiform.

The name Iran easily could go back long before the Sasanids, in that it represents a piece of culture shared with India and therefore presumably dating to before the Indo/Iranian split. But are you aware of any evidence that the country referred to itself that way during the classical period? Judging by what you can find on Wikipedia, this question is one of major political concern to some groups, and is mostly fought on the basis of assertion rather than evidence.
In my experience people with great knowledge generally have an urge to pass it on and they appreciate self initiative taken by the person learning. I have mentored a few people during my job and generally feel that my time was wasted only if they don't take initiative to learn themselves. Many a times I leave a crucial thing out of the answer and ask them to try to find for themselves as teaching is not about giving a ride but showing the way.

During the years I have found that it's not helpful to go into too much detail when teaching, as the people who are just starting won't be able to appreciate it and it may actually overwhelm them.
Have an anecdote from me, who spent four years at Cambridge learning maths with Anki.

Anki is peerless for learning large numbers of very small facts. I found it very unsuited for learning relatively small numbers of large facts like entire proofs. The best way I found to use it was to select one or two key, short, intuitive (informal) milestones within each proof, and use Anki to associate the theorem statement with those milestones. Any larger unit of memorisation just didn't work for me - took too long to learn, made it a miserable slog to get through the repetitions, and so on. Convert things to lists, where each element of the list is small, and you have a much better chance. I did once try and learn a proof of the three Sylow theorems by means of a 50-card Anki deck, assembling a linked list of the stages of the proof; but even a single sentence of proof can be more mathematically dense than really lends itself to Anki, and I would probably redo it with fewer cards and more intuitive steps (relying on my mathematical ability to fill in the gaps dynamically).

If you want to learn long formulae, I got some success out of setting them to music. I learned the various differential operators in polar coordinates this way, to avoid having to rederive them every time I needed them. (As an aside, I learned Hard 'n Phirm's "Pi" song almost by accident, which got me nearly 150 digits of pi.)

Read that article couple years ago, but still I just have to look at the quality of all the electric devices around me... It's not all bridges and hospitals. Heck, even my electric toothbrush from Philipps can't make it through a full year without failing (planned obdolesence or not).

Security aspects are typically even worse in non-software development fields. Just look how awfully unprotected things like babyphones, elevators, cars etc. always were and are.

Only that hardware hacking is usually riskier and less convenient (and often not very rewarding).

But yeah, of course... The threshold to get started with software is lower.

A way less interesting comment on the Euclid–Mullin sequence, for anyone who's just learned about it in a math class: it is common to take away the wrong lesson "the product of all the primes so far, plus 1, is always prime." (Even if it's totally obvious to you that this is false, I assure you that it's not obvious to everyone. Sigh, I've also just noticed that, by skipping to the part of the article about interesting unsolved questions, I missed that the author says exactly this. Sorry! Hopefully the rest of the comment is worth something.)

This succeeds for a little while, since (the product of no primes) + 1 is 2, 2 + 1 is 3, 2·3 + 1 is 7, and 2·3·7 + 1 is 43, and most math geeks will recognise these as primes. However, it fails immediately after: 2·3·7·43 + 1 is 13·139. (If you take "all the primes so far" to mean not just "all the primes generated this way" but "all primes less than or equal to those generated this way", then we get a slightly different trajectory: after 7 comes 2·3·5·7 + 1 = 211, which is prime; and then the so-called primorial (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primorial) 211# has a successor that is huge, way bigger than 2297, but is divisible by 2297.)

It is possible to modify the sequence so that it proveably generates all primes; see, for example, Booker - A variant of the Euclid–Mullin sequence containing every prime (https://arxiv.org/abs/1605.08929). According to Wikipedia, the notion was introduced in Mullin - Recursive function theory (A modern look at a Euclidean idea) (https://doi.org/10.1090%2FS0002-9904-1963-11017-4).

EDIT: Replying to child (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20017324 )—sorry for doing it here; I'm "posting too fast", but don't want to ignore it:

> I'm genuinely confused by this. I don't see how 2·3·7·43 is "the product of all the primes so far", since 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, and 41 are missing.

> Does the author mean "all the primes generated by the sequence", or "all the primes up to a certain number"? I always thought the Euclid method involved the latter.

Just to be clear, I'm not the author of the linked post. I did write "all the primes so far" to mean "all the primes generated in this way", which is the sense in which Mullin used it in the article linked above. Both approaches work to generate 'new' primes, in the sense that they're not among the primes multiplied together; but you must use the primorial if you want to generate new, bigger primes. I edited to take into account the more natural interpretation (see the parenthetical above), but probably it was while you were posting.
I've no idea why you'd get a down-vote either - whoever that was, "Hang your head in shame and reverse that click"
Correct, sorry, didn't bother to look at the time. It is 7.1.2. The point still stands, it's old and I'm probably in 0.1% that the article left out in iOS markets.
Isn't "A common misconception about this proof is that the number p_1×p_2×p_3×…×p_n +1 itself has to be prime." plain wrong?
They seem to assume that this product generates p_n+1 while it would generate p_m with m >= n + 1 instead, thereby maybe leaving gaps in the sequence (making attempts to use the method again and again to generate all primes unsuccessful).

Edit: the counter-example of 2 x 3 x 5 x 7 x 11 x 13 + 1 = 59 * 509 proves this wrong. My mistake.

I get that you're being sarcastic, but to further emphasize your point:

As I understand it, Riot Games had something similar implemented -- a jury of peers called the tribunal to render decisions in order to punish bad player behaviour (griefing, hate speech, etc) and it still didn't scale to the amount of incidents and abuse reports they were getting nor did it filter out frivolous reports. They ended up switching to automated systems as a first line of defense against obvious bad actors anyways.

A lot of complaints here about "semantic quibbling" and the like, but I found Howey's principled relationship with language refreshing.

Today, we get bombarded with an endless stream of clickbait that routinely stretches words to the very limit of their meanings and beyond. In politics especially, double speak is now the standard. "Fake news" probably isn't fake. A "Clean Air Act" bill probably isn't about clean air. The "middle class" probably isn't really in the middle. "Job creators" probably aren't creating jobs. And on and on.

Why shouldn't we all strive to use words in a precise, straightforward way? Why embellish our argument when the plain truth is already horrifying enough?

That argument doesn't work. Obviously the assholes won't agree that they should be banned, and you can just argue - as he does in this post - that anyone who doesn't think the supposed assholes should be banned is doing so because they're one of them. Judging the merits of this really does mean thinking about the actual concrete values that he's fighting for.
How come a meaningless question, which is probably just a click-bait for promoting a web site, is the first result on HN?

I'm worried about HN. This is totally subjective, but I feel that technical content related to computers is now sparse in the top pages, while it was preponderant. And the culture of ads and lucrative visits is damaging the site, like everywhere online.

Maybe this is false and the change is within myself, anyway I should keep away from HN.

I've always had this suspicion that open source software is some kind of propaganda, that it's not purely organic. The work is hard, the benefits are huge, yet the contributors are paid zilch.

Is the author claiming that the complete destruction of planet earth and all human kind is what the environmental debate is about?

For me it’s about my grand children not ending up in Mad Max or Blade Runner.

That would truly suck... for them.

In both these scenarios the earth is around, humans are living and pretty much everything else is dead or dying.

You can always argue that whatever takes place within the boundaries of this universe is a natural progression. My bother is that we as a species know a lot of things, probably more than anything that ever lived on earth, still we keep doing obviously stupid things at scale.

This makes my computer say “no”, and it’s hard to rationalize as natural progression, considering this accumulation of knowledge.

My program tells me to do what I believe is best for my offspring and this seems rather natural to me.

Plenty of stocks don't pay dividends. The point of owning stock is because you think it is a good financial move, and that includes direction of stock, holding it as an asset, and in some cases dividends.

The reason to sell a stock is because you believe the assets you have tied up in the stock would be better elsewhere.

If you view stock ownership as gambling, and dislike gambling, then don't own them. Others view them as owning shares in productive companies and a worthwhile asset for that reason.
