I think what's missing is something like "Data Model Patterns: A Metadata Map" by David C. Hay

It's like C. Alexander's "Pattern Language" but for data models.

> ...I was modeling the structure— the language —of a company, not just the structure of a database. How does the organization under-stand itself and how can I represent that so that we can discuss the information requirements?

> Thanks to this approach, I was able to go into a company in an industry about which I had little or no previous knowledge and, very quickly, to understand the underlying nature and issues of the organization—often better than most of the people who worked there. Part of that has been thanks to the types of questions data modeling forces me to ask and answer. More than that, I quickly discovered common patterns that apply to all industries.

> It soon became clear to me that what was important in doing my work efficiently was not conventions about syntax(notation) but rather conventions about semantics(meaning). ... I had discovered that nearly all commercial and governmental organizations— in nearly all industries —shared certain semantic structures, and understanding those structures made it very easy to understand quickly the semantics that were unique to each.

I've pushed this at every company/startup I've worked at for years now and nobody was interested. You can basically just extract the subset of models that cover your domain and you're good to go. Or you can reinvent those wheels over again, and probably miss stuff that is already in Hay's (meta-)models.
I have a question, it might not have one concrete answer.

If my destination doesnt actually have a copy of the data, but only the metadata (onedrive sync with filespace freed up, nasuni with files purged from the cache) can bvckup write only the changed blocks, or for example, would the nasuni need to pull the file from the cloud master back into the cache before it can patch it with the delta? Maybe this is such a tech specific question it doesnt have an answer.
There is continuum and a point where the low quality of the product/presentation makes it extremely unlikely you will find market fit. A needed investor may see that only 1 in 1,000 of people talked to will buy it and conclude the market is too small.

To give another anecdote: people had an immediate need to not die from infection after surgery but it still took over 50 years for doctors to wash their hands because it was originally perceived as an attack on the doctors cleanliness. A bit of polish on the presentation would have went a long way.
It would be used in addition to copper. Circuit boards are currently made out of copper for various reasons, I don't think you would use gold for PCB traces even if the materials were cheap. With copper you can use ferric chloride and simple photoresist to etch the board, with gold you would need something more powerful like aqua regia. Gold also has some undesirable properties like the various awful gold-aluminum intermetallics that it can form, and it suffers from poor solderability.

I think more likely we would see ENIG as a standard / default plating instead of HASL. Traces would continue to be made out of copper or aluminum depending on what you are optimizing for, plated with gold (over a layer of zinc or nickel) to protect them from corrosion, and with various tin/nickel/etc pads for solderability.
It was a propaganda effort to get funding for road building. (That's what it means when they say the idea was “to develop a through route from coast to coast for motor transport”.)

Breaking bridges helped demonstrate the need.

Fixing bridges avoided lasting negative feelings towards the demonstration that could backfire politically.

> This sounds like some non-engineer talk

Does it merely sound like non-engineer talk, or is it actually non-engineer talk? I just want to make sure you aren't making the wrong assumption or implying the wrong thing. I've been saying what I've been saying as a result of my 5+ years experience doing full-time software engineering.

> I agree that sometimes people can be too focused on perfection in code reviews but consistency, modularity, and other seemingly unimportant things are crucial in maintaining hygiene for your project

It's interesting to me how easily people here are assuming that I'm implying the absence of standards merely because I'm suggesting people opt not to chase perfection in favor of providing a non-blocking pathway for engineers to make changes or improvements. Maybe my phrasing is poor.

I don't think you and I disagree that consistency, modularity, etc., are important and should have some amount of enforcement. The point I'm trying to make is that, in my experience, people sometimes go too far with this, so there should be some set expectations as to the limits of an individual code review. Limiting the amount of review iterations in a unit of work and splitting feedback-related work into other tickets can help address the issue of perfection zealotry.

It is quite expensive to send material to an orbit around earth. A quick search says $22.000 per kilo. The price of gold per kilo is about $45.000. So wouldnt it make more sense to keep the gold in the orbit and use it to build things in space? Also the potential energy of the gold has to go somewhere when it enters the earth's atmosphere resulting in additional warming.
"The participants probed the surfaces with the index finger of their preferred hand in a designated direction (perpendicular to the grooves) for as long as they wished and at loads and speeds that they established themselves"

"...it is observed that while the minimum pattern that could be distinguished from the unwrinkled reference surfaces had a wavelength of 760 nm, the amplitude of this pattern was only 13 nm.

This shows unambiguously that the human finger, with its coarse fingerprint structure in the sub-millimeter range, is capable of dynamically detecting surface structures many orders of magnitude smaller and indicates that nanotechnology may well have a role to play in haptics and tactile perception."

>it would actually make the poor poorer

Nope. This is entirely wrong.

Consider: You have $100. I have $1000. We both get +$50 worth of gold. So you have $150 and I have $1050. You increased your welth by 50%, but I only increased my wealth by 5%. So yes, if you had no money, you actually did earn purchasing power.

Let's consider another example: The poor person probably has $0 invested in gold. So if anything, it hurts people in the middle class, who might have let's say 5% of their wealth in gold, which is suddenly worthless. So the poor person has actually increased their buying power compared to the middle class, and the rich (who probably have so much money in real-estate and stocks that any gold investment is minuscule) are unaffected.

The way this article is written I feel like I'm being conned while reading it. It's basically repeating the same thing for 90% of the article; talking about the spanish prisoner movie. Nothing about why zuckerberg is 'running a con' or what the con even is.

Then at the end of it, I'm supposed to believe that the con is the fact that libra, while potentially facilitating ecommerce and being generally a good thing, is going to kill bitcoin. Why is that a bad thing? If it's better at ecommerce than bitcoin is, then bitcoin deserves to die. It's not insidious to win at something if it's better.

I don't even know if I agree that Libra is a good thing, but the conclusions drawn here don't make any sense.

Interestingly money (or control thereof) is not named as one of the fundamental properties of a state [1]. So maybe having an independent currency won't help you much, as long as the state you currently live in holds the monopoly on legitimate use of force (for an example see [2]).

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_(polity) The most commonly used definition is Max Weber's, which describes the state as a compulsory political organization with a centralized government that maintains a monopoly of the legitimate use of force within a certain territory. General categories of state institutions include administrative bureaucracies, legal systems, and military or religious organizations.

Totally agree with you. While I've been away from QNX for a long time, I did enjoy this API and system design. When I saw it go EOL, I made an appeal for them to open source it. Never heard a peep.
sort of a meta question: would you consider your (or anyone's) past a fictional posession, or a real one? Though I'm highly skeptical of blockchainism (see username) I don't know if I'd be able to buy into this particular criticism of it.

Essentially a blockchain is a database of time and energy booked to a contrived measurable $particularActivity. This activity correlates to some past opportunity cost expense (and presumably a counterpart defensive loss aversion behavior expected in the future) on the part of the person burning time and resources to support that activity. A kind of rube goldberg electricity meter with a public log, that functions as a record of someone's ante in a super simple long running casino game.

The more you spend on/invest in this activity, the less inclined you are to forfeit your recorded proof of doing it for less than whatever you consider a fair return on that sunk cost.

This mechanism is fairly universal and applies to everything from hobbies to friendships to careers. What bitcoin (any blockchain really) does is just strip the commitment-payoff mechanic present in almost all human endeavors down to a cartoonishly simplified model and tie a bunch of charts and metrics to it, and use these to collectively goose our animal chase instincts into overdrive.

> There needs to be differentiation between those that are more skilled than those that are less skilled.

Where does skill come from?
> Has anyone run the numbers for what it would be if you divode up the work, assembly-line style?

Repeated hashing is notoriously difficult to parallelize as it's naturally a serial operation, that's why we use repeated hashing as a Key-Derivative Function to protect passwords. For humans it's more challenging, since SHA-256 has 64 rounds internally, which means: to calculate a single hash, you need to iterate over the data 64 times, each time using the output of the previous round as your input.

What you can do, is:

(1) Optimizing the process of calculating a single round. I guess you can identify all the needed arithmetic steps (mostly logical opeartions and bitshifts) and divide them to multiple units of task-forces, assembly-line style, like a human-powered ALU. Ideally, workers that doesn't care about "which round it is", but only care about the computation itself should be as many as possible, i.e. using combinational logic instead of sequential logic.

I think many computations were done in this way before electronic computers, I believe even numerical simulations of fluid dynamics were done by rooms of female workers with mechanical computers running the same algorithm again and again over a matrix.

(2) Create as many copies of your human-ALU as possible. Although iterations within a single-hashing operation is not parallelized. But mining only requires you to do independent hashing, so it should scale linearly.

I don't have the needed skills to get an actual number, if you - the reader, thinks you can. Please do it and submit your blogpost to Hacker News.

That is very interesting. Would love to know what is going on here.
It's only a subsidy in the way the universal basic income is also a subsidy.
Minimum wages have some power to make an industry favor higher-skilled work and automation(and therefore, more valuable work). When wages are low, the whole industry is obliged to use cheap and unskilled labor to stay cost-competitive. When that floor goes up, the businesses that shift their investment from labor and towards capital will survive by gaining the benefits of using automation. The resulting set of products are essentially a new marketplace: sometimes you produce more at lower cost, or less at higher cost but higher quality, but the consumer benefits from this introduction of technology either way.

Therefore the consumer-friendly policy interpretation is to gradually raise minimum wages as new methods of using capital are introduced, and allow the labor to transition from the unskilled to the skilled jobs.

However, what's left out is the skills gap in recruiting for the new jobs; it's hard to find qualified people, and it's hard to find a job right for you when the field is always changing. The market is not great at coordinating this transition on its own.

The picture metadata exploit is interesting. It would be trivial to guess the user's home and work location given enough photos with EXIF data (locations and timestamps).

I'm curious how this works on iOS. Granting complete access to "Photos" always seemed overly broad. It should be possible to limit an app to only save images, and/or limit accessing images to photos from the last 3 days etc, or only the images the app has created.

Allowing an app to grab literally years of time and location information (via photo EXIF data) just to do something as simple as saving a filtered picture or opening a screenshot seems bad.

But as someone who loves metadata, I'd can't see myself disabling it altogether. Does anyone know how this works today on iOS? Can an app wholesale upload thousands of pics (or just the metadata) in the background without the user knowing?

> Putting things into space creates a lot of air pollution.

Yes, rockets emit a lot, but in the overall, less than automobiles when taking into the frequency of use into account:

> Space shuttle fuel consumed in a launch: 3.5 million pounds. Gasoline consumed in one day in the US - 2,500 million pounds. In other words, one space shuttle launch is equivalent to about two minutes of gasoline consumption in the United States. [1]

If we use rockets more often, then this would become a larger component of overall pollution.

Definitely check out the 10-packs; if you own a house that isn't new, and are already doing some wiring work, it's not a bad idea to keep some extras around and maybe replace some of the crappy older outlets when they're so cheap.

>Also worth noting is that you can wire your circuit in a way that the first one is GFCI outlet, and the subsequent ones are daisy-chained to it,

Yes, this is actually normal for kitchens, where all the counter outlets are on the same circuit. Just put the GFCI on the outlet nearest the breaker box, and all the others are then protected by it. It is really annoying, however, when people retrofit these things into old houses and you get something like a downstairs bathroom outlet that has no apparent GFCI, but then it trips, and you have to hunt around the house for the GFCI outlet only to find it in a bedroom on the upper floor. I rented a house for a while where both bathrooms and both bedrooms were all on the same circuit (lights too!), and on an old GFCI outlet that would frequently trip and leave me in the dark. Extremely unsafe.

>I think the reason for few outlets in buildings is not the cost of the device, but rather labor required to put it in.

Yep, that's exactly the reason, but it's still annoying because years later, you have to move furniture around to find an outlet that your device's cord can reach because there just weren't enough installed.

A lot of the modern molten salt thermal neutron designs are pretty much idiot proof. Aside from trying to breach the reactor vessel intentionally there isn't going to be a meltdown like pressurized designs. These are reactors that when they fail just kinda stop working.

There isn't any need for active cooling since the nuclear reaction is thermally regulated. There isn't any pressurized water that can blow the top off a containment vessel. Even if there is a breach it doesn't blow waste across the countryside because there is no pressure difference between inside and outside the reactor.

Doesn't this just force everyone who uses an app with their wireless connection to give that app access their location data too? That seems like forcing users to leak more of their data rather than protecting it.

Now instead of some apps that I've denied location access getting it anyway by trickery, I now have to allow all apps to record my location data or else they can't access the internet at all!

The macroeconomic effects of unions have been overwhelmingly positive.
