This is true. A PhD is very close to an apprenticeship model: study at the feet of an expert doing simple work, prove your competence (master's degree/prelims) to start working on your own account under supervision, finally submit masterwork (PhD thesis) to be counted as an expert yourself.
That's interesting... But does Amazon provide a public API for making purchases?
Cryptography really needs this. Both the Stack Exchange and the Reddit for crypto will typically have at the top of the pile:

1 x post from a cryptocurrency newbie, happy to find an audience who undoubtedly want to buy their FlappyBirdCoins. HODL HODL! We're going to the sky! Actually this post _is_ appropriate and it IS on topic and you're only saying it isn't because you don't understand digital currency is the future. (Grr)

2 x post from people who've read about the One Time Pad and are now convinced their grade school cipher is better and here's 40 characters of output - bet you can't break it. No I didn't read the instructions saying not to do this, I'm too smart to need to read instructions.

1 x post from somebody with a basic grasp who has a real but fairly trivial question, like, why is the exponent 65537 used for RSA ? This question may or may not just be their homework.

1 x post that is a good question but shouldn't be filed here, like, how do I configure Apache to enable TLS 1.3 ?

1 x post which is actually appropriate, like why does this algorithm say to use a pseudo-prime P when it only seems to be important that A isn't a factor of P ? Doesn't this 1987 journal paper I found show that it would work for other values just fine ?
There's a difference between a post request with zero content to some count API and a request with metadata. If there were a way to send a request without even info like IP address, it'd be even less objectionable, but that kind of request doesn't exist on our current tech stack.

Ask HN: Proper way to fork a Linux distro?
Ubuntu makes a "mini" distro that is very stripped down. I'm using it and happy. Now I want to run this on other hardware but they do not provide a version for the architecture I want. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD

My question is how do I get to a place where I have the sources/packages of this distro that I can compile for the architecture I want?

There are so many distros in the world now that fork other distros (Kubuntu, LUbuntu, Mate) but it is surprisingly hard to get started doing it yourself. I am reading the LFS/BLFS docs, but this would take months to get started I think.

Edit: typo
Doesn't capitalism either directly or indirectly fund that academic research? When I was in a university lab, all of my work was funded by private companies
You beat me to it while I was looking for references. =)

"The stars and gas in the Milky Way rotate about its center differentially, meaning that the rotation period varies with location. As is typical for spiral galaxies, the orbital speed of most stars in the Milky Way does not depend strongly on their distance from the center. Away from the central bulge or outer rim, the typical stellar orbital speed is between 210 ± 10 km/s (470,000 ± 22,000 mph). Hence the orbital period of the typical star is directly proportional only to the length of the path traveled."

There was that really obese guy who fasted for 6 months or so under medical supervision so it's clearly something that some people can do.
They were fun. I bought a few back when they were $1.

It’s more fun to press the red bull button than to say “computer, order more Red Bull.”

I didn’t really use them that much because amazon’s prices got a lot worse so I ordered my Red Bull and batteries from other places.

I hope I can repurpose them for other iot signals.
I haven’t read the article so I don’t know the context but it’s probably specifically referencing autophagy, which is very nutrient sensitive: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6321489/

If you’re looking for the science, “autophagy,” “AMPK”, “MTOR” are probably good search terms to start with.

Here’s a recent review/introduction on how fasting stimulates autophagy that you can scihub: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S156816371...

If you wanted to make it for yourself. A general rule of thumb I've heard several times for makers is to retail at 4x the cost of goods sold - else your business is unsustainable. So for a 5$ retail price you'd have to be somewhere near $1.25 COGS. Going the otherway - 19.99 for a 5$ COGS is perfect.

This perfectly captures the zeitgeist and my current thinking. Globally, we need a 10x basic research expenditure increase, with specific allocation to long-term (life) grants for breakthrough investigations. Establishment of geographic concentrations or hubs of interest (eg. WallStreet proximity to fintech knowledge, DC corridor for cybersecurity experience, Boston biotech, etc). As well as radical change in nurture and support for key talent. And re-calibration of end focus on improving everyday lives and alleviating hardship.

The one feather in our cap is the distribution of new discovery. As the original research mission behind the invention of the internet, it has surpassed expectation. The black hole image at the center of the Milky Way galaxy was captured, processed and released (via twitter) in under a news cycle.
> Just because most people don't understand the implications of what they agree to,

That's what needs to be fixed for real and not only for the technological world but for everything. We sign SO MANY contracts without any knowledge of what it contains and even if we wanted to, we simply couldn't understand most of them.

I think that for anything that implicates us (ourself or our information), it should be clearly stated beforehand in a manner that almost everyone can understand.

Android permission is a good example of good and bad practice. It tells you what the app can do, but at the same time it's too generic and

> We really need mandatory ethics courses in CS.

In Quebec, if you want to become a software engineer, you need to do the engineering classes which do include an ethics class. That class is meaningless and just there because of the previous corruptions issues in engineering we had.

Not that it can't help, but I just feel it's easy for it to become meaningless too.

I think a class, most probably in high school, that teaches the implication of oversharing could help much more.

Sure there's SIRI that could be harmful, but we often forget how Reddit and Hacker News can be even more harmful, without the product being malignant itself or having any of theses techs implemented. Nowaday people share so much about themselve and each piece of information individually is perfectly fine, but in conjunction can become much more harmful. Doxing is awful, but often, it happens with things that are posted willfully by the victim (I'm not victim shaming, just that I'm pretty sure that person wouldn't have shared all of this, or at least would have done it differently, if they had been aware of the risk).

Maybe it could be interesting to create a platform that list what happens to our information in different platforms, what is shared or not, what is accessible or not, what we have control over or not.

In the past I was amazed when I went to Google My Activity and saw how much times Google thought I was using the voice feature. It doesn't seems to be as bad nowaday, my most recent is nearly a year ago and was a legitimate demand, but when I found that history at first there was some things that were quite bad. One of them was a good portion of a private conversation with someone else. There was nothing dangerous, but it's definitively something to be aware.
Serverless Comes to RISC-V and IBM/Power
That's zero margin for Amazon though and no budget for assembly. If the materials cost is $5 then $10 is the absolute lowest you could probably hope for. $15 is a more sustainable (profit generating) product.
SQL you mean? True, but that's more of a DSL. In the same vein you'd have HTML, CSS, but I was talking about general purpose programming languages.
Thanks for this reply. The next question I guess is whether we do this because of experience or because of debate?

Your examples of CISC instructions are specialised, as one would expect, so maybe the earlier generations of engineers simply expected more specialised machines? Ironically perhaps, with the bitcoin era, there is now more interest in specialised machines again, though my impression is hardware manifacturers are more focused on practicality. Maybe people have realised the benefit of a general CISCy-RISC architechture for the sake of not wasting time with debate?
Could the FBI actually arrest Tony Podesta already? Christ
His books are very far removed from contemporary programming. That said, I would probably read them as a grad student in CS since they're a classic in the field (and Knuth is a funny writer). They introduce you to a lot of math, as well as a more theoretical approach to things like data structures and algos.
Uh, partial? Which parts of pizzagate do you think are real?
1. “Plenty of good investment opportunities” does not treat their aggregate value compared to cash removed from the economy. I reiterate, in plain English. There is more of that cash, way more, than realistic investment opportunities. Don’t believe me? Look at the crazy vanity projects, either started or under consideration. Settlements on Mars. $500B Saudi cities.
2. “From what I've seen, most companies are almost purely motivated by the risk-adjusted post-tax profit that can be obtained from the investment. Every idea on the drawing board is effectively evaluated meticulously on this basis.” I couldn’t agree with you more, at least when it is done rationally. And precisely because taxation is MULTIPLICATIVE, tax rates have little effect on investment decisions. Look at the 1950’s. Indeed, I suspect, (paradoxically?) that high tax rates encourage investment. The investment cost is effectively discounted by the tax rate.

It's biased to the premise, which is that "day trading's" contribution to price efficiency & liquidity are of diminishing value, and that the marginal value is essentially 0 or negative.
There's enough tooling as it stands. In-browser devtools are a veritable kitchen sink of possibilities to tap into. And even a cursory glance at some open source projects on Github yields a plethora of tools, modules and snippets of code to use in your project. In essence you can do anything you want with some JS, CSS, and HTML. This is the beauty of the web. We get lost when we ask for more tools and techniques to do things. It's like a massive collective hallucination that the current stack(s) for developing are unworthy or need to be drastically improved. Yes, progress is good, but we've reached a tipping point IMHO.

> Assuming your device allows you to get the binary. Apple is already in a position to disallow this if they choose to in the future.

Theses kinds of thing never stopped anyone. Being the first to share a hash of a system file in a console is always an achievement that many hackers tend race to do when a new one is released.

For sure the harder it is, the less person will do it, thus the more theses things will be able to go under the radar, but for now it's not so much an issue.

I have some personal anecdotes that support this to some degree - I have dermatitis, and acne on my forearms - the longer I fast, the less acne I have, and my dermatitis recedes. The effects are very visible, and quite quick, 2 days of fasting will completely clean my scalp.

My father had psoriasis - after a week of fasting, his scabs would completely disappear, even in winter, when he had the worse flare-ups. Even eating healthy, even avoiding all sorts of foods that he knew he was sensitive to (lemons, garlic, spices, etc) didn't have nearly the same effect.
I've started only using Amazon as a last option, not a first option, because I've noticed that their process aren't really any better and buying through them can make some things more difficult (warranties, refunds on reduced price items, etc).

That being said, it's very easy to just default to Amazon and not bother looking elsewhere.
More like anesthetizing them would be risky and they're not gonna remember it so it's not worth the increased risk to their life since infants are already fairly fragile and saving their life is the primary goal.

It's not just "it's hard and we're lazy so lets make up an excuse" like you seem to be implying.

Edit: Since apparently it wasn't clear, we're talking about the timeline when this issue was hashed out, so the 1980s. Anesthesia carried substantially more risk then because back then we didn't understand it nearly as well.
Show HN: Octoprice – New Price Comparison Search Engine
Just a few years before, two of his friends and students run autocratic goverment called "thirty tyrants". They got in power thanks to enemy city Sparta. They killed impressive number of people, tortured those oposed and so on.

Their distaste to democracy this rule was based on had to do with Socrates philosophy.

Si yeah, gods largely because there was a.) amnesty for things that went on during thirty tyrants period b.) Socrates himself was not actively perticipating in killing citizens and at one point ignored order to go and kill (presumably). He did not left the city either through he could nor opposed the rule.

When he was cocky during court case, he knew gods accusation is bullshit. He likely underestimated how those who were against his friends rule resented him and likely how much they seen his ideology as threat to their own freedom, life, democracy and what not.

Athens were quite short after bloody revolutions and pretending that it had nothing to do with anything except immediate charges just makes history boring and incomprehensible.

Socrates was not executed because he was misunderstood genius. He was executed because he was seen as very real threat.

> drinking lots and lots of water, water you should probably be drinking anyway, will mask them more easily than one would expect.

I've recently started intermittent fasting (22:00 - 12:00, still cheat too often, but it's a start) and I've noticed this too. Two cups of coffee and a couple of glasses of water really keeps me alright until lunch. That's when I really start feeling hungry.

I wasn't afraid to start IF either, because I often used to skip breakfast because I couldn't get out of bed on time.
Model-Driven Development with UML and Modern Java
I don't think people are fearing not having to work, but inequality as a result. If you don't have redistribution your part is only as big as your work or your ownership. Since we are quoting, let's go with Stephen Hawking:

"If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality."

Of course everything old is new, so you could read for example Hannah Arendt. Our societies have mostly evolved out of how to distribute profits from automation. The reason automation is now the boogeyman is because we have changed paths by not thinking about that.

This statement reveals a lack of knowledge of the root causes of the homelessness epidemic. Those who are homeless for purely economic reasons are a tiny minority. More often than not homelessness is a second order effect of mental health issues compounded by breakdown in family/community. Those need to be addressed first.
