This is such a weird, backwards way of framing the situation.

People in that income/wealth group fund essentially the entire government budget while also costing essentially nothing, so of course there is an incentive to retain them, but generally governments are trying to just stop one cent short of bleeding them so dry that they move away.

In 2018: "The top 1 percent paid a greater share of the federal tax revenue (37.3 percent) than the bottom 90 percent combined (30.5 percent)." Put another way - your local school would be in trouble if all you had were families on $40k sending 3 kids to public school, it's being funded by the family on $300k and sending their kid to a separate private school.
As someone who usually develops in Nim but is now stuck with delivering some Python scripts that runs embedded in a C program I feel your pain.. The first time I had to deploy some Nim code and could just copy a single binary to the target machine and run it was such a good feeling!
> Patents: this might be more tricky to work around. Patents protect algorithms and methods of production which might be integral to the game. I am not aware of games who are protected by patents.

Given how much money is in the games industry as a whole it is kind of weird actually that we haven’t seen any publicly known patent trolling targeting game development studios yet.

Perhaps they haven’t been targeted. Perhaps they’ve paid up in silence. Or perhaps it has happened and the public knows — it’s just that I haven’t heard of it.
> You are converting (like many of us do) something tangible - let's say money, to something less tangible, let's say happines.

I'm converting in the other direction, which is a big difference. I'm saying first reach happiness, then take that amount of money to set your baseline.

I've finally come to the understanding that when times get tough, people are all for naked power grabs that support "their side", regardless of the broader consequences. You could see it as a flaw in humanity, but I think it's an adaptive trait, ensuring that your tribe secures adequate resources and all that. The real flaw is how we're unable to escape these sorts of evolutionary pressures and replace them with cooperative behavior across tribal boundaries. (In my opinion, this is what will lead us into devastating global resource wars when climate change and peak oil really come home to roost.)
hence why I said the word "future"
Nim is a super fast python that also prevents typos.

I use nim everyday. 98% of my programming is in nim only. I highly recommend nim. During the day I work mostly on internal tools and dashboards, during the night I work on games. Nim compiles to JS and C. Its really good.
Europeans said the same about North America when they landed on it.. we might want to study it a bit before making biosphere decisions like that.. not to mention the feasibility of it being possible.

> Evergreen Public Schools in Washington state, for example, started using the company's service this school year. Between September and mid-March, the system flagged more than 9,000 incidents in the 26,000-student district. The overwhelming majority-84 percent-were for minor violations, such as profanity.

The fact that the system even monitors for profanity at all tells me its purpose has a lot more to do with student surveillance than it does with student safety.
These problems will solve themselves, but at the cost of human life. I remember someone telling me that governments only move when a lot of people die.

The Indian government will eventually learn to regulate their pharma industry, it will just take the deaths of thousands of Indians before it will happen. We fucked up a lot of people in the Western world before we learned that regulations matter. Thalidomide anyone? That whole period in the early 1900s when we didn't have much of a medical profession and scientists were doing whatever the hell they wanted?

I think a lot of people fantasise about a better, more open Medium, and I'm surprised it doesn't exist.

Github does a fantastic job of hosting code and keeping people happy (generally). It's generous to individuals and has a good business model. It would be great to have a place to host my content which is as friendly as github.

I think cloning Medium wouldn't be horribly difficult. It might even be a good medium (hue hue) term project for a solo dev. Perhaps I'm grossly underestimating the work; perhaps it already exists; or perhaps I've just found something to keep me busy over the summer!
Not (-> lisp clojure)?
> Do have some backups outside of your primary cloud provider. You'll sleep better.

This is really the takeaway from this whole incident. Even if the account doesn’t get banned you’re just one accidental action away from your database and backups disappearing simultaneously otherwise in most cases. Or if you are using a blob store there may not be any backup if the original is deleted (it’s like RAID not backups).
Wait, what are the risks? It's not like you're going to make Venus _more_ inhospitable than it already is.

Worst case scenario is we'd lose some valuable scientific information about Venus in its natural state.
Are there any good books about Zuse? He's mentioned in passing in almost every computer history book, like the "The Dream Machine".

Mostly they just say that his work was destroyed, and not much more, which is a shame! And then they devote hundreds of pages to his contemporaries.

I searched Amazon and apparently has an autobiography, which doesn't appear to be widely read:

I vaguely recall reading about Bitcoin development in ~darknet forums, during 2010-2012. But only vaguely, and I retained no logs. There were hints, I think, that developers were Australian.

Edit: OK, maybe it was earlier. I did say vaguely.
It's free after you pay for the games though. There needs to be some kind of free plan when you're making people buy (licenses to stream) games.
The people at and the community around textdrive & joyent was a key part for me being able to learn a ton of stuff online about servers, writing software, good design etc.

Random kind inspiring people on the interwebs (most of whom I never met in person!). Incredible.

edit: also had one of their early "VC" deals for lifetime hosting. Very interesting feeling to have something you don't have to pay for anymore on a monthly basis, inspires to make the most of it. Got a ton of mileage out of it and wasn't upset about it being sunset, by that time hosting was quite cheap already.

edit2: When they started to adopt OpenSolaris I took a closer look and eventually ended up with it as my main desktop system back then & learned about ZFS and dtrace. Magical, fascinating times.
It's probably safer to misspell it. I imagine it was intentional to avoid unexpected consequences.
how much have you actually played Artifact?
TextDrive (bought by Joyent) was one of the first hosting services to support Ruby On Rails as a first-class service -- in the days when static hosting, PHP, Perl, and Java/Tomcat were the only options on Linux infrastructure. They were well-noted for their "lifetime hosting" membership deal, which was incredibly exciting at the time (this was in a day where flat-fee and free hosting outside the likes of MySpace and Geocities was unheard-of). TextDrive was where all the cool kids hosted their projects.

RIP Joyent public cloud (and the last remnant of TextDrive's legacy).
Good point which brings us to a simple explanation. Time zero isn't when the h/w is booted, it's when the software is started. As unpopular as the simulation theory is, many difficult issues can easily be thought about. Except for the rest of the turtles.
Most Spectre variants are exploitable via specially crafted data, not just code injection. Hell, NetSpectre is remotely exploitable.

Being super ascetic about what code is allowed in the kernel isn't an endgame here. We don't need to take cross domain VMs completely off the table; we just need better ways of describing those security boundaries to the hardware. It's been done before. Some of Azul's secret sauce was additional cheap security modes in the MMU that they leveraged for their GC.
Maybe try and read the article first. It's a she and it's about the US market.
Could you explain what you mean by "like GitHub"?
Yup, the book talks in detail about those.
Cass Sunstein on 'How Change Happens'
He is probably not Satoshi because Bitcoin was meant to be everything opposite of a currency for money laundering hence triple ledger accounting aka blockchain. After all see Bitcoin whitepaper and read carefully each sentence and you will realize it was meant for internet commerce and last thing you want in ecommerce is fraud and money laundering.

On the other hand Craig Wright is the most possible candidate for Satoshi by far. There are too many clues leading to him for example like this one https://seclists.org/basics/2006/Mar/270 or a small detail like word "bloody" which Satoshi used and it is usual for people using British vocab which Craig being Australian uses, I heard it in his presentations. And btw Craig said he was involved in cracking of TrueCrypt with law enforcement that explains why creator of TrueCrypt is mentioned in court documents.
Asking broken questions seems like a strange way to find out what somebody knows.
Bitcoin was created in Jan 2009.. so the "developers" you are thinking of could have begun contributing after Satoshi
There were a lot of ways of reading the implications of their unclear post, but you assumed the worst and attacked. That doesn't contribute to a reasonable discussion.

From Wikipedia:

- Brazen bull: "Some modern scholars question if the brazen bull ever really existed, attributing reports of the invention to early propaganda."

- Scaphism: "The primary source is Plutarch's 'Life of Artaxerxes II', where he attributes the story to Ctesias, a notoriously suspect source"

- Blood Eagle: "There is continuing debate about whether the ritual was a literary invention, a mistranslation of the original texts, or an authentic historical practice."
Curious what decade?

I was born in the 80s and that was the case in my Boston suburb - most people started out middle class, and where you ended up had more to with how smart & hardworking you were (and how much you took your good fortune for granted) than what your parents did.

I'm not sure that holds for kids today, looking around at my Silicon Valley suburb. If you're a tech worker with a Ph.D from MIT, IIT, or Chinghua that now works for Google, married to a fund manager from Stanford, your kid is going to have dramatically different opportunities from the children of a single immigrant mother from Mexico that cleans houses for a living. You'll likely grow up in a house with a yard rather than sharing an apartment with another family. All of your parents' friends will be similarly educated, and you'll have time to see them and socialize with them regularly. You'll go to an expensive preschool where kids get individualized attention, rather than a home daycare where one caregiver is trying to manage 8 kids. You'll end up in a different school district where everybody else had similar backgrounds and the teacher can teach to that level. Your parents will be able to help you with homework and do school projects for^H^H^Hwith you, and won't be exhausted and overworked when they come home.
Slightly unfair to condemn a man for risks nobody knew about, no?

You're not alone in thinking this at all.
It is prejudice, pure and simple. You can get an equivalent machine from Dell for half the price. Trouble is that many people seem to think using Windows is like putting their hand in a toilet.

It is a strange thing. In terms of ordinary people, Windows rules supreme. But in a certain kind of company you only see macs. It is a good thing that my current laptop has a mini displayport cable because when I go to a startup accelerator they never have hdmi, full size displayport or anything other than Apple cables.

The omission of where clauses was explicitly a stylistic choice[1].

This is perfectly valid Haskell:

#!/usr/bin/env stack
{- stack script --resolver lts-12.19 -}
data Test = Test {count :: Int}

test = let
something = Test {
count = 5
}
in 5+(count something)

main = putStrLn $ show test

To get the equivalent Elm to compile, it must be indented like this:

test = let
something = {
count = 5
}
in 5+(something.count)

Note that `something` must be indented beyond the beginning of `let`, and the closing curly brace must be indented to the same level as `count`. These are both not a warning, but a parse error - you can confirm it with Ellie[2]. If that were due to a lack of resources, it would absolutely be understandable, but this also was an explicit choice[3] which developer time was spent implementing.

Because Americans aren't buying groceries or paying rent in the rest of the world, they're doing that in America. Knowing that you're theoretically well-off in comparison to people living in other places doesn't put food in the fridge, and it tends to be deployed to shame people who are having a tough time making ends meet.
>I don't think that's true

You don't think tens of millions of voters and future voters are have watched political videos on YouTube?

>but even if you could prove it, it doesn't matter.

You keep saying it doesn't matter without actually addressing my argument.

>You should not be entitled to use YouTube just because its popular and people discuss politics there.

Says who? You?

>YouTube is not a public street corner, it's a private business and platform that you don't pay to use.

The point of analogies is not that the two things are identical, but that they are similar in some particular important way.

>It's more like saying you can't talk about your political message inside a popular tavern because the owners have decided they are not friendly to the political message.

A popular tavern with tens of millions of people in it, maybe.

>That is not a violation of your rights

Depends on who you ask. Rights aren't written anywhere in the stars. People make them up.

>that is how private property works.

Private property rights are not absolute.

>Wow. That's a very disingenuous reading of what I wrote.

Actually you revealed a lot about your opinion from what you wrote. You said it's a mistake for people to value being able to post political content on YouTube more highly than they value being able to post political content on HN, because HN is filled with elites who do some ripple effect thing, whereas YouTube is filled with poor uninformed simpletons. In other words, they should value being able to beg the elites to do the ripple effect thing for them more than they should value being able to spread their message directly to like-minded people. Poor uninformed simpletons can't make changes on their own, they need elites to do it for them.

The problem is that the elites want cheap vegetables, so they don't want the poor simpletons to get paid more.

Yes, if Australia stopped it's export of coal then it may very well make a difference. But as far as I'm aware, that wasn't even part of the debate as the economic impact would be too great.
There's a subway station 20 minutes away from my work that I take from time to time when I want to go to a specific movie theater. There's a bus that go pretty directly, without much stop, but during rush hour, it takes at least 5 minutes less to walk.
I think the difference is just that seccomp/eBPF is lower level and more powerful in terms of what it can do. So pledge gives you a simpler interface to manage things, whereas with eBPF you have much more flexibility (since you're writing in a subset of C) but with that flexibility also comes more complexity. I.e., eBPF is its own scripting language for the kernel, pledge is just a way of managing fine-grained capabilities.
The book provides details with FDA reports, court and patient cases why these are not anecdotes...
The risk that Venus is or was once host to some form of life, and humans deliberately contaminating Venus with life would obscure any evidence of it. That is a very serious worse-case scenario because non-earth life would be truly invaluable to biology.

It seems like a remote risk to me, but not something to shrug off. Particularly since the usefulness of introducing life to Venus is itself quite remote.
>Bullying is an all day every day thing with children.

Kids tease each other, they call each other names, they occasionally get into fist-fights, but that's not necessarily bullying. Bullying is systematic and targeted harassment; it is entirely right and proper that we should not tolerate it.

If a kid is a bully, he's an asshole. He shouldn't necessarily be expelled or even necessarily suspended, but someone needs to make it crystal clear to him that his behaviour is unacceptable and will not be tolerated, otherwise he'll grow up to be an asshole and raise his kids to be assholes.

Don't drag ADHD or insane ideals into this and don't suggest it's some sort of modern mollycoddling. Internet surveillance and helicopter parenting is no substitute for moral leadership and the teaching of values. The idea that kids need constant monitoring is symptomatic of a profound societal cowardice, an abnegation of responsibility for teaching children to be decent human beings.

The solution to bullying isn't constant surveillance of children, it's teaching children how to stand up for themselves and instilling them with a sense of duty to stand up for their peers. It's creating a school community in which bullying isn't something to be swept under the carpet, but something to be fought vigorously. It's leading by example, taking the time to listen to children and treating them with the same respect that you expect them to show others. That's not easy, but it's our duty.
A part of me wonders if the disproportionate weightage of particular scientists/researchers skews the field toward their ideas more than others.

As far as i can tell, the Vatican proposal by Stephen Hawking is a hypothetical, one that has math going for it, but in a case considered by the opponents, going against it. The consensus of the community of scientists backing Hawkings hypotheticals could as easily have backed the opposing view, but there you have it, its considered the accepted view of reality. Why? I can't reasonably explain that to someone less tuned in to the physics community, but there it is.

Reminds me of a conversation over drinks with a colleague of mine who i know to delve in alternate theories talking to me about Birkeland Currents[1] and how "popular science" favored the theories of (coincidentally) another British scientist for the longest time, thus leaving the author of the (later proved) correct theory, shunned for decades by the scientific community.

Craig Wright is not Satoshi, that is absurd. Research it more and come back to us. If he ever wanted to prove it he could easily do so by moving any of the early coins etc. Instead of his fraudulent signatures added after the fact and all his other shenanigans.
You're complaining about an authoritarian public school system, but are replacing it with an even more authoritarian solution. Homeschooling keeps the child under the parent's eye 24-7 and completely captive to their worldview and idea. If that worldview and idea is for them to be "schooled" in helping their dad run his landscaping business, or being prepared to be married off, well, good luck.

Public school is important precisely because it is public. It gets the kid out to realize society exists and to deal with it as it exists. Homeschooling to me is bad because the child is dominated by their parent too much and it's not something that can really be fixed except with great effort by the child later in life.
> The initial account lock and resource power down resulted from an automated service that monitors for cryptocurrency mining activity (Droplet CPU loads and Droplet create behaviors).

So despite the fact that you can get the same or more resources at other providers who advertise their shared CPU resources for less than half that charged by DO I’m still buying a shared resource?

I think this is something that needs to be much more front and center. With AWS I can spin up as many “boxes” as I want on a moment’s notice. As far as anything on DO’s site seems to advertise I can do the same.

Turns out that’s not so. If they wanted to shut down an account because they suspected it was compromised then that’s one thing. Shutting it down simply because of suspected cryptocurrency activity... not so much. If I’m willing to pay for it then that’s what I’m willing to pay for and there should be no limitations.

Now that becomes a little more clear as you read...

> determine if automated action is warranted to minimize the impact of potential fraudulent high-cpu-loads on other customers.

So clearly we are not talking the same resources that were expected.
Most proprietary software with EULAs does not contain a copyleft provision that forces itself upon other software. I find copyleft creepy and power-hungry, so my choice of word reflects how I perceive it.
