China is probably going to have a military to rival the USA within a couple decades; certainly their industrial base dwarfs ours already. I worry about how we will respond to that fact, the idea that America is number one and cannot ever be contested is very deep in our culture. We would probably not accept the fact that we actually do have to compromise with China at this point. On the positive side though, I don’t see China waging wars of conquest anytime soon as they see themselves as the Middle Kingdom and the most important part of the world already.
The Chinese government likely cares more about the capital contained and produced in HK, which they would ruin if they were to bust up the place.

I should, but you know how these things go, it's not a great use of time if you're sighted because you get relatively little benefit, so you never exercise it enough...
Maybe so, but Science featured it only once. I think it's reasonable to demand that the journal regularly note corrections to stuff that it's published. It's absolutely insane to demand (via a giant article on Slate, no less) that they publish every refutation of anything they ever ran.

The only reason this is generating clicks is the politics angle. This is boring science. The original study was probably bad (as, let's face it, most psychology studies are), but they ran it anyway (because clicks). Now the other side gets its clicks on the "censorship" angle.

The science? Still boring.

It's interesting to compare Slack's tech stack vs Discord. The tech stack of slack is pretty common, while the tech stack of Discord is very geeky: Elixir/Rust + Cassandra for crazy high concurrency, and React/React Native for fast developing and consistent experience.

Like LAMP for Slack, Discord also used MongoDB prototyping in the first few years, but while they prototyping they prototype in a manner they can easily migrate to Cassandra later. Then they successfully migrated to Cassandra. This is brilliant.

I remember the React community migrated from Slack to Discord[0], I guess one of the reason could be the performance. According to the blog, at that time the team only have "14 people full time", which means they've got a very high velocity, amazing.

I didn't find any summary of their whole tech stack but there are several insightful articles from their blog like[1].

> they're helping to lay the ground work for safer roads by forcing the industry to integrate more and more automated safety systems.

They focus more on driver-aid systems that encourage not paying attention. Their automated safety systems aren't anything special compared to what most manufactures offer.
“Unhinged” is a pretty uncharitable description, and your “horrified” class sounds a bit closed-minded.

Another way to describe the same is “excitable, passionate, and non-conforming”.

But I would instead say “Cliff Stoll is a national treasure”. I’m super jealous of the middle school kids who got to have him as their science teacher.
Is Brave 100% open source? I don't trust them at all because I feel that the underlying business model is shady (replacing website ads with their own ads).
In my opinion, the most reliable science comes from mid-tier journals. The highest impact journals are mixed with the absolute best OR the absolute hyped.
> If you recall, Apple's stance on privacy is quite recent.

You should read some of the history of Steve Jobs, and you will learn that he was very serious about privacy and it seems like his values have been imbued into Apple and now Tim Cook.

Perhaps what should happen is that replications should be published beneath the paper it replicates, as an addendum.
Yeah I tried but they cite that they're a startup. It's definitely below market rate by a bit.

They're also citing i'd be the most expensive employee in the region which is kind of alarming considering im not that senior.

Goal #1: Don't let the users "get screwed."

Goal #2: Don't have a solution that requires an army of people to manage.

If no one's willing to help fund your idea, you're out of luck. That seems... really understandable, given that every major government is literally investing millions trying to hack into Google's user data.
> No explicit link with the tragedy of the commons was implied.

Okay, but the article says:

> Adapted from a 2015 es-discuss thread. “Common Lisp” is not the topic. It serves only as one of many illustrative counter-examples.

So if "Common Lisp" is not the topic, and the tragedy of the commons is not the topic, then it seems the title is not very well chosen.
All big companies are greedy (and typically are required by law). So that’s the one thing that isnt different.
Some really good advice here! It's actually below market rate and I am one of the first employees here in region if I join and I have a feeling they just trying to hire cheap.

I'm trying not to look at the stocks as anything BUT I feel left out in the open because they aren't telling me much about them.

I do want to join for the learning potential but there are a few red flags that I feel like shouldn't be said at the negotiating table such as:
- our offer is good, you're the most expensive hire yet in the region
- i can't tell you the percentage pool / how many existing stocks there are

I will have a good hard think about it - thanks for the advice!

We got one of these for our calculus three teacher in high school. It comes with an extremely hilarious warranty card. I do not remember the whole thing, but it does say that they warrant that the Klein bottle does not contain any magnetic monopoles.

Conversely, it's quite difficult to grow them in the City of San Francisco, especially the Western half, in the summer.

Some people have success with a special variety called a fog tomato, but in general, the northern California coastal fog zone ain't no place for a tomato growing, only tomato eating.

Exactly. I choose to believe I can control my own behavior, and that belief undeniably affects my actual behavior. Now some Determinist comes along and says I didn't really make that choice, it was destiny. Well, okay, whatever you say dude; but the fact that I believe it is still in play.

Atrium presents itself as a law firm, even though it is two different entities. One of the entities is a law firm, the other is a tech startup. From their web site, in light gray on white background:

> "Atrium LLP is a registered limited liability partnership under the laws of the State of California. Atrium Legal Technology Services, Inc. is a non-law corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware."

Aren't there some legal ethics problems there? Is Atrium the law firm sharing fees with non-lawyers? Is Atrium LTS engaging in the unlicensed practice of law?
Airports don't have no-fly zones, they have controlled airspace. It's common to have helicopter operations near airports. You talk to the tower and fly fairly normally.

Similarly, the DC Flight Restriction Zone (FRZ) is not a no-fly zone, but an area where flight operations are much more tightly managed. I (and many other pilots) have authorization to fly into the FRZ and land at the DC-3 airports for non-scheduled operations (in addition to the many air carriers who fly scheduled operations in/out of the area).
That’s a remarkably measured response from him - no personal attacks, it’s all directed at the argument he believes is invalid. The expressed anger is mostly about having to repeatedly counter the same statement from the same person.

I still wouldn’t use the language in a professional setting, but I know people who would.

I also agree with his position, and it holds for many thing, if something works well you only see it when it goes wrong. Kind survivor bias I guess?
Let's run the numbers for say a Boeing 767. It has a wing area of 290 m^2 and the main fuselage of 5 meter width and 60 meter length, so lets assume another 200m^2 of surface area. 490m^2 of solar panel can generate 0.2 * 490m^2 * 500W / m^2 = 49 kW.

Compare that to the 800kW that the APU in the tail supplies to keep electric and hydraulics running if the main engines fail or the well above 200 MW that the main engines put out.

"that the literal phrase "undefined behavior" elicits reactionary flames from the peanut gallery"

The issue I have with "undefined behavior" is that defining undefined behavior is like dividing by zero. It's like saying you have proven the efficacy of the placebo effect. Once you start believing in contradictions, you are on the road to hell.

There is an immeasurable difference between what you say Rust does, leaving undefined behavior undefined, and trying to have it both ways.
I'm sorry, that's just dishonest. If you're paying for an allegedly dedicated VPS, or any service for that matter, it's not your i.e. the paying customer's responsibility to limit their use of it within some vague guideline. It's disingenuous to imply a plan comes with X number of CPU cores when it's actually just shared hosting.
I ended up meeting a lot of my idols who had lost their touch when I was young and it never made sense in close quarters. But when I'd go out with them and people would incessantly talk to them it finally made sense, they lost their ability to observe the world and had no choice but to be observed. They weren't able to grow

I don’t understand the distinction you are making here. Why would it be insane to publish refutations? In this case, they refused to even review the refutation.
Replication in this case refers specifically to the replication of the original experiment itself, not its results: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_(statistics)

Your reply continues the trend of factual sloppiness. Mustache is not the “most famous”, not “JS”, and not “of the early 2000[s]”.

Mustache is a Ruby library from 2009. Here’s the first commit https://github.com/mustache/mustache/commit/6ee6bcf21d381554...

But more to the point, someone calling their template library “mustache” because a curly brace has a vaguely mustache-like shape doesn’t remotely imply that people regularly call curly braces “mustaches” or would have any idea what “mustache” meant in the context of someone pronouncing their computer code.

Definitely thought provoking. I hadn't thought much about how the effects of the fear of retribution reverberate in how people and companies interact with governments, employers, and suppliers.

I feel like this is usually discussed on the micro-level (e.g. an employee's fear of whistleblowing on her boss), but not so much on the macro-level.
> TL;DR: .... Science (a famous journal) refused to publish the null replication.

They refused to send the null replication out for peer review. I think that is an important difference. The optics make it look more like suppression, rather than a rejection based on quality.
Even simpler: ratchet up Joey quality you can easily get lossless output while technically beating Shannon (because the “average” image in information theory is noise, and even at the highest quality levels jpeg loses accuracy on them)
First thought that entered my mind: is it survivorship bias?

Given enough time, even the survivors die... I worked at a hedge fund in 2008 that was leveraged like 40 to 1 when the market tanked. Nearly blew up, but managed to stay afloat. 3 years earlier we had cannibalized another fund that couldn't make their margin call. Bought about 9 Billion in assets for pennies on the dollar.
Ah yes, you mean the luck of being born in the right time, in the right country, to parents in the right socioeconomic class, and with the right genetics? That to me seems like the biggest predictor of success above anything else.

> this would seem to be a common occurrence and Science would have to decide whether to devote equal attention to every failed reproduction

I think the answer to this is a rather blatant “of course!”

If Science has the time to support false studies that retrograde the scientific cause, it certainly has the time to publish their corrections and refutations. The scientific process is not about how much stuff you can publish, it's about how much true information you can convey. A journal half the size of Science but twice as trustworthy is at least as valuable, if not vastly more.

I ordered one of these for my dad for Christmas one year, and as we live in the Bay Area, I opted to just pick it up from Cliff Stoll’s house. Guy was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met—introduced me to his family and gave me a tour of his workshop, including the robo-car he uses to retrieve the bottles from his crawl space. My dad got a kick out of the bottle but has probably since forgotten about it, so I think I got more out of the gift than he did!
It makes one wonder if the Chinese government has a point. In the modern world, perhaps it’s not the government that should be feared, but the conglomerate corporations. A centralised government could have more teeth to compete with. Just an opinion...let’s keep it civil

India has the advantage over China that it has a much friendlier relationship with the US and other Western countries than China has. There is a lot of national security concern about Chinese companies like Huawei having market share in sensitive sectors such as telecommunications infrastructure. An Indian equivalent to Huawei would be unlikely to face the same sort of concerns.

My guess (not a chemist, battery enthusiast, or firefighter) is that the lithium exploded, and what remains is a cacophony of MacBook burning plastic fumes. It's not like it's LETHAL, just toxic enough to cause chemical burns, eye irritation, or cancer[0] through single exposure. There are several types of lithium too so I'm not sure what the right one is. The timing of his Reddit post t+5 days without any reported symptoms is probably a good sign.

It would take a very concerted effort. There are multiple levels of encryption and the best practice is that only verified builds can run in production and only non-humans are ACLd to access security keys. Any attempt to do so would be limited to a very small group of people, trivially logged, caught by AI for inappropriate behavior, and cause a firing.
