A cross-platform libc included with LLVM is much needed! Languages like Go, Rust, .. already abstract away arch and OS details, while one of the oldest high-level languages, C is still battling this fundamental requirement.

There's much argument to be made to use the OS specific libc, but that is only for OS specific tasks (ioctl, specific syscalls, etc). If we can make a cross platform libc that implements and abstracts aways the 200 most commonly used syscallc on Linux, I believe 95% of user programs will just work across all OS-es
I don't RS could make a business of selling drones -- they'd become a showroom for online drone makers who would sell much cheaper than Radio Shack could afford to sell.

I'm convinced that cell phones are the only thing that's kept most Radio Shack stores afloat since there's decent margin in cell phone accessories and plans.
How much your insurance pays is important too. Guess what happens when your insurance company pays more than they make? : They raise rates.
Private Equity bullshit and changing market.

By "changing market", I mean:

- Retail is brutal business. Everyone focuses on Amazon, but on the ground, Target did a bigger number on them. Target got really good at capturing the kid product lifecycles, from baby to tween. Target does toy and gadget merchandising much better than Walmart. Amazon prices for baby stuff always suck as compared to Target.

- Tablets and smartphones also really killed the toy market in general -- kids aren't playing with toys as tablets capture attention.

- Toys suck. As toys consolidated into a couple of giants, the quality of everything is just garbage. I bought a board game recently where the board was so thin, it bent from humidity! There's actually a thriving resale market for 70s and 80s toys. My wife sold a Fisher-Price House and a GI Joe helicopter at a consignment sale for $75!
> The tech is proprietary, and not that fun to work with.

> As someone who has worked extensively with Salesforce, the cult like fanbase is annoying. I'll be the first to admit the tech is underwhelming and in many cases nowhere near other modern technology.

True. But Salesforce allows fairly non-technical people to build fairly robust applications with very limited CS training. If I were interested in getting a technical job but had no experience, I'd consider becoming a Salesforce administrator as a way to get paid to learn to code on the job. [1]

You can build something that is complex and scalable without any programming experience. And what you build will be supported for the next ten years. It's not a terrible proposition for most businesses - especially outside of the Silicon Valley bubble.

> Is this some weird perversion of "one death is a tragedy, 1000 deaths is a statistic"?

Nah. If you deliver 100 insults to 100 people, that's terrible. But if you deliver one insult to a vague blob of 100 people, that barely registers. The amount of insult directed at any specific person is tiny. That's why I'm not bothered by it.

> it just makes it personal to more people

No.

> no matter how much you move the goalposts

Really?

Someone disagrees with you so they must be moving goalposts?

Do better than that. I've been consistent on what I consider personal.

Also, I think you're too focused on vitriol. You can single people out and cause them harm while using the nicest and most polite language in the world. The way you target and your underlying meaning is far more important than your choice of words.

> So it didn't help to berate Verizon, but it was still okay because they "deserved it"? And then you don't apply the same logic to Cloudflare themselves? There absolutely is a need to berate Cloudflare for their unnecessary use of vitriol, especially if you're telling me the bar for berating someone is as low as "it didn't help but that's okay".

Let's put it this way. I regard "impersonal beration" as one tenth the crime of "being obviously and extremely negligent with equipment that can break the internet". And I'm willing to forgive vitriol when it's deserved and impersonal.

You don't forgive that, and want to say Cloudflare acted somewhat badly? Okay, sure.

You want to claim they are failing as a leader, overcompensating with drastic childish measures to blame someone else for something they could and should have mitigated themselves? I completely disagree.
Now that the medium post and this HN response (and possibly others) have gained traction, the author and other similarly affected parties may be interested to communicate this shift in momentum to investors, conveniently listed on kitsplit's website: https://angel.co/company/kitsplit/jobs

Mostly individuals (and perhaps this is not the complete picture) through AngelList, perhaps AngelList (angel.co) itself might be interested to know in more detail the actual policies and communications of one of its listed companies.

Deciding to not cover this claim and claims like it seems to be a short-sighted and heavily financially-motivated decision. Perhaps if the financial stakes of that decision were more clear, the author could pursue a different result.

Perhaps, though, this momentum has come too late. Food for thought as I haven't seen it discussed here so far.
You said yourself that "legislate first, fix later" makes you incredulous because you feel it is never fixed later.

Yes. But again, I've already conceded and abandoned this argument after being shown what I thought was good, well crafted policy with definitions, provisions and executions that I am willing to support in the context of this discussion. I happen to believe that all other things being established, context is important. Therefore I don't see the point in trying to refute your assertion of what I've said there, I did take that position, but I've since abandoned it, and conceded the point to a much better position than the one I had previously, therefore what I said earlier about "legislate first, fix later" holds no further relevance to this debate on policy, at least not IMO[1]

I am suggesting that the perfect bill which requires no future fixes is non-existent. Thus, advocating for this solution is the equivalent of advocating for nothing.

You still seem to be arguing against a position of "pass a perfect bill or no bill at all" that no one has made, and has not presented itself in the discussion, so to that note I'm not really sure how to respond.

[1] caveat lector:
That being said, I do have strong opinions at large about incrementalism in policy design, but that's for another time and probably another forum.
Against Disenchantment
I'm kind of shocked that no healthcare providers have offered price guarantees as a selling point - I know I'd be incentivized by them.

My guess as to why is that hospitals are just as confused about how insurance pays for things as the general public is. They could never accurately estimate what a patient would pay out of pocket.

If you consider the situations that would lead to the husband needing the wife so badly so as to need to override the wife's choice to not have the ringer already on, the subset of such situations which are life-threatening for the husband are probably situations in which the wife either can't assist in time or isn't the only person who can assist, so overriding the silence isn't required for life.

In contrast (and yes, my intention was contrast), if the wife was hiding from a shooter then her ability to maintain silence is required for life. Airplane mode isn't great, because she should be texting/tweeting/etc.

Thus, best to not let your silence be overridden.

For non-life-safety reasons that the husband might be trying to reach the wife, that could be solved via agreement ("keep your ringer on except in emergencies") instead of brute force.

Hum, lets imagine for a second, theoretically that somebody wants to do something illegal (photos of industrial trade secrets, or pictures of children porn for example), but don't has a camera, or don't want to use their own camera by fear of being caught; so calls a friend and borrows his camera.

I assume that the owner would have a hard time explaining why he gave a 3500 dollars camera full of their fingerprints and ADN to a perfect stranger just because. Would have luck if can prove that was not a necessary collaborator in a crime.

But if the procedure is done through KitSplit, would be this (I repeat, hypothetical scenery) a different situation from a legal point of view?

Yes exactly. You can even get a head start by training on award-winning performances by Izhak Perlman and such, comparing them to the sheet music. Then your NN will be able to read sheet music in the style of Perlman, the same way that GPT2 can write in the style of Tolkien.

Kasparov remarked that Deep Blue seemed to make insightful moves in a way that wasn't machine-like, and he suspected it was human assisted. I don't know if he was right or wrong, but I'm sure today's chess software will feel at least as insightful as Deep Blue did to a chess grandmaster, especially if they think they're playing against a human.
Takeaway: the more an activity is putatively is made distance- or location-agnostic, the more it tends, paradoxically, to centralise.

Publishing, film, and finance are three interesting comparable industries. The outputs are highly fungible and travel easily, such that the actual production and management have focused on a very small number of global centres.

(What typically drives those divisions themselves are often linguistic, cultural, regulatory, or political factor. Think of film; Hollywood, Bollywood, China, Japan, and a few relict European national markets largely reflect barriers imposed by language, culture, politics, and explicit local policies and subsidies. Rinse, wash, repeat for my other examples.)

I WANT TO BELIEVE but I seriously doubt that retail's obsession with 'experiences"' is going to cut it; it didn't work 10 years ago and it won't work now (other than a place to dump your kids for an hour while you go shop groceries or whatever).

Retail thinks that better service and experiences is enough but when it comes down to it, parents want to buy toys in a toy store and they want to buy them as cheaply as possible. Physical stores also keep ignoring that Amazon actually offers really good service with cheap (or free shipping) and fast shipping, and a great return policy.
They're citing the CDC's numbers for confirmed cases, so I'd expect the "chronic Lyme" folks to be excluded.

https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/faq/index.html

> The term “chronic Lyme disease” (CLD) has been used to describe people with different illnesses. While the term is sometimes used to describe illness in patients with Lyme disease, in many occasions it has been used to describe symptoms in people who have no evidence of a current or past infection with B. burgdorferi (Marques, 2008). Because of the confusion in how the term CLD is employed, experts in this field do not support its use.
==I'm interested to know why you think the government is incentivized to negotiate the best pricing for citizens.

I can think of two. First, so they can spend the money on other things they want (military, social security, education, etc.). Second, is so they can get re-elected by those same citizens.

==There is no way to tell if the price we are paying is at all good value for money compared to what it could cost.

We could look at the dozens of other developed countries who work like this, should give us some clues.
We need to be reflective enough to know when we have a mental health problem and need to do something about it. But it's also true that one of the most common causes of mental health problems are patterns of thought that can be changed by conscious self-discipline. Indeed, that's the basic premise of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

I also think there's a social point: we often feel bad because we fear that other people will think less of us for various reasons (money, status, lifestyle). A lot of the time, it's important to resist that natural social impulse and to live on your own terms.
Pl/SQL in PostgreSQL is a bit different for some things vs MSSQL's T-SQL syntax. Most of the syntax will work without much modification, and all of the stuff that seems to be covered should apply to both. You can take this course, then use google to cover differences, once you understand the concepts it's pretty easy.

Most databases have some minor differences. mySQL/mariaDB and SQLite seem to be the most odd in terms of how standards are supported and fallback mechanisms. For mySQL this is mostly out of historical context, and for SQLite its the nature of a small/fast/light SQL library.
Radix sort predates the 1950s (perhaps it dates from the 1890 US census?), and mergesort (linearithmic, like quicksort) dates from at least the 1950s, if not earlier. I'm not sure when the linear-time variants of radix sort were discovered; it might have been later.

I agree that many problems have experienced super-Moorean algorithmic speedups, but the examples I'd point to might be solving large linear systems (successive over-relaxation), integer factorization, suffix-array computation, and all kinds of search problems, especially including SAT and SMT, rather than sorting of records.

It really isn't fair to blame insurance at all. In this case they had insurance that covers the rentee against loss due to accidental damage or theft against the rentee. That insurance is entirely reasonable and rational, and does have real value: If a legitimate, good actor person rents hardware and then it get stolen out of their car or they accidentally drop it in a lake, that's valuable insurance and does probably cover most incidents.

But in this case the person theoretically covered by the insurance (their coverage obviously benefitting the one renting out the hardware, as their hardware is then made whole) is the one who caused the loss. Just as your homeowner insurance doesn't want to cover you if you burn down your own house on purpose -- the real moral hazard -- they don't want to cover this situation.

It's shitty, but the insurance served a valuable but finite purpose. The insurance was never intended for what happened here.
It's a neat idea. Although, I'm skeptical of its practicality for hosting any serious amount of data.

Don't confuse people with industries. Sure, people who worked in Oil and Gas got elected -- Bush Sr. is the most recent one. People who also worked in media got elected -- Reagan.

You are going to elect a person from some industry, after all, unless you plan to elect someone with no skills or employment history. The time of electing generals like Eisenhower is past.

But the fact that, say, people elected Trump has nothing to do with people really favoring the real estate industry -- that's a very odd interpretation of what elections signify, and does not refute the survey data about people's opinions of Big Business.

I am sorry that you are not party of the enlightened minority, but a normal person would be happy that the vast majority of the public share one of their beliefs, so maybe be thankful. Alternately, you can adopt a new minority belief if needed.

The truly shocking thing about SBIR/STTR programs is realizing what they are and why they exist. Basically, a couple of decades ago the remaining big defense contractors merged to the point where they had enough market power to slash their R&D spending to the bone — in order to more efficiently focus on moving taxpayer dollars into shareholder pockets.

To offset this, Congress created a set of programs that basically shifted the cost of low-level R&D onto the taxpayer. It seems fully expected that the goal of these programs is to fund smaller businesses to do this research, but only until the point that those businesses can be acquired by the big defense contractors. There are even special partner days where STTR/SBIR recipients get matched up with the Beltway bandits, and there are official government agents there to hell make these partnerships and acquisitions happen. In many cases this is the only way a small firm can get access to the real money, so the big firms effectively get their R&D at taxpayer cost without taking any real risk at all.
