>Instead it’s subsidies mostly tax breaks and consumption for little long term return.

There's nothing wrong with consumption. Consumption is what drives the US economy and makes it the powerhouse that it is. The American consumer is what is keeping the US out of a recession while export-driven economies like Germany are heading into recession.

The problem with our fiscal policy was that the tax cuts passed by Trump almost exclusively went to the richest people who have a low MPC (marginal propensity to consume). There's nothing wrong with expanding the deficits, the US doesn't need to worry about debt and the falling bond yields confirms that. But that fiscal spending should have been targeted at the poorest people in America. It should have been to give them universal health care or free higher education, not cutting corporate taxes.
Heck, English is my most fluent language (though Chinese is my mother tongue) but I always have trouble understanding comments here on HN. I can understand every word and don't need to open the dictionary, but then I can't follow the logic / the point being debated / the thought being conveyed.

Have you seen WeWork’s prices? It’s much more expensive to host a team in WeWork than just about anywhere else (including in your own corporate headquarters). I can understand companies wanting to variabilize office costs, but the first thing they’ll do is launch an RfQ... and WeWork’s fancy offices and free beer are not going to be much help there.

Plugging my amazing JSON-like format! https://gitlab.com/rendaw/luxem

In case anyone doesn't click the link, its much simpler than JSON, leaves interpretation up to the reader, supports polymorphic data, and has some tweaks to make it nicer to edit by hand. I've used this in a bunch of personal projects and maps all the models I've come across perfectly. If you need more power in your format you're better off using Lua than YAML.

I have a Rust Serde implementation 90% complete I could finish up if anyone wants it.

Given non-random strategy S, what does it mean for strategy S' to be "the inverse of" S?
I was talking about forcing women into the army.
If the non-random strategy was “buy stocks A, B, and C”, the inverse might be “the broad market minus the stocks A, B, and C” rather than “short stocks A, B, and C”.
So, the problem here is that many of these tools just look to see if you’re using an address that is known to have been compromised on that site. But I changed my password on that site, so I’m no longer vulnerable to that compromise. But the tool just sees my address and doesn’t know of or acknowledge the fact that I have already remediate that one.

As for using an insecure password, I fix those as I come across them, and store the new fixed password in my secure password manager. But just because I happen to have used a password in the past on a given site that is now known to be weak, doesn’t mean that password on that site has actually been compromised — the password is just weak and needs to be replaced.

These tools need to get better at detecting the real compromise and the remediation thereof, and not just crying wolf over the fact that my e-mail address on that site may have lead attackers to a password that I once used long ago, but which I haven’t used anywhere else.
Not if they made more money ripping people off than it cost them in the courts. Even if they didn't make a full $50 million in this scam, time value of money means they get to capture earnings on the scammed money for a decade before they have to finally pay a penalty.

THEN they get to offset $50 million of current income to reduce their tax bill. I'm surprised more banks don't do this.

It's similar to learning about 3000 words in a foreign language will make you passably fluent.
While the little hack is surely fun, this is an underrated comment. The tuning that SONOS speakers do at setup will also not help if the speaker's own signal characteristics are taken into account for generating the system transfer function between input signal, speaker, and room. That's how SONOS, BOSE, et al. achieve a consistent sound in the first place.

So the result with different speakers will be mediocre at best and indeed far from high quality, even with a high quality speaker strapped on to it.
In addition to diversification that reduces risk of overexposure to down sectors or typically over-performing assets, index funds have survivorship bias: underperforming assets are replaced by assets that meet the fund's criteria.

I remember sitting down at a VMS terminal for the first time (a university library's terminal had trouble with its OPAC and dropped me into a logged in VMS shell). In fifteen minutes I had learned how to work with it, had the machine show me the university's network, and started to feel comfortable. I cannot imagine a similar experience if exposed to a Unix shell for the first time.

I would agree with that. I know about 1000 German words, and that covers the bulk of words people use when speaking German, but not the words that matter.
Sounds like the author wants the VMS shell with its concept of command tables and attributes that provide fully consistent syntax and standardized online help. It even makes it nearly trivial for any utility to provide its own command line that follows all the same syntax, help mechanisms, and conventions.

“Cracks have appeared, and in 2018, part of the road had to be demolished due to damage from wear and tear.” as opposed to regular roads which never crack

“the road was only producing half of the expected energy” - great, so just 2 km of a solar road could power the streetlights of an entire city the size of Tourouvre, 3700 people.

We shouldn’t raise the white flag so quickly. I think we need a second iteration at least before we call it a failure.
In agile world software architect does not fit in. This is where the conflict comes in. people thinking in old traditional software architect system meets agile teams. It does not work however we have been successfully working in a team as lean architectures which is a perfect balance for architect role combining with scrum teams.
I agree. It's not horrible, they understand their conundrum, but $2m/mo is way, way better than $0m/mo. You get to actually productively address the conundrum on your own timeline, rather than let VCs run things after giving you money on abusive terms. The downside is it lets one be complacent.
I saw this clip earlier this morning which reminds me of our current central bankers trying to manage economic policy all by themselves via short term interest rates.

It was a failure but I’m glad they tried it. Hopefully something like this comes to fruition and we learn more and more with every iteration. Solar roads are a great idea. Maybe it means it needs daily sweeping with electric vacuum trucks or something but if it’s producing enough electricity then it’s worth it.
Fiscal policy and the private sector have not done enough to ensure long term growth -- as mentioned asset inequality has lead to a lot of capital in the hands of actors that do not spend money. Advancement in technology is deflationary by nature and so a lot of growth is only realized by the top.

In times like this the public sector must intervene to frame the future for it's citizens and economy: focus on the health and education of your citizens, mitigate future risk by funding solutions to climate change, secure safety by spending on military and providing equal opportunity to quell internal social unrest.

If you have strong instutions and control the currency that your debt is in (US, UK, Japan, China -- as long as the communist party maintains its current strength) this is the way to go, globalization will take a hit but will cycle back in the future.
Right. So, architecture is a role a very senior engineer holds with a specialized set of skills.

Who is responsible for understanding the interconnections of a system when there are over 100 engineers? That's the architect.
But Big Corps can do math; whether they will be the main tenants if WeWork ever stops dumping to gain business is less clear. Big Corps have been working with the whole space of available real estate options to optimize costs longer than WeWork has existed; I don't see where WeWork had any stickiness.
> every programming language in existence has easy to use HTTP and JSON parsing libraries

That argument doesn't hold much water. Every programming language in existence also has easy to use socket libraries. Are you implying that HTTP and JSON are less error-prone than whatever-over-TCP? There's nothing magical about either HTTP or JSON that makes them the right tool for every job. But I guess when all you have is a hammer ...
Architect: "I have a great idea!"

Developer: "Oh nice! Go ahead and build it!"

Architect: "No I can't do that. I don't know how!"

Developer: "Oh..."

Building architect: "I've scheduled a meeting so I can present the PowerPoint presentation of this cool new building I've been designing."

Client: "Oh great! Do you have a mock-up?"

Building architect: "No"

Client: "Ah you have a 3D virtual reality tour then perhaps?"

Building architect: "No, just some slides"

Client: "Oh..."

When are people going to learn there's no human execution in software development? It's the computers who do the execution. Not the developers. The developers are the architects. They design the blueprints for the computers to execute. If developers are doing a bad job that doesn't mean you need architects. It means you need better developers.
Why wasn't that strip of land right by the road converted into a solar strip instead? It looks like that shoulder has almost as much physical area to it and would take a lot less wear and tear.

I've barely used Dr Racket and even then it's been years so I might be misremembering, but I don't think it comes with any hot swap capabilities (the main point of this demo) out of the box, even though it had a REPL.

Yeah I was about to say, I can't think of any Scheme implementations or descendents with robust support for hot swapping.
But working on “more important” problems, particularly abstract ones, while the basics fail is precisely the complaint about architects:

They’re so busy with their “more important” issues, that the whole thing fails in practice.

If they truly had organizational wisdom we could utilize, why don’t they deploy it themselves, to keep their website online during small spikes in traffic?

If their work can’t even be applied to their own organization successfully, why should we believe it will be successful elsewhere?

I don’t think this is true. Agile doesn’t mean that you don’t consider long term trade offs, only that you don’t wait until all the requirements and studies are done before commencing system implementation. Involving software architects in the process actually makes agile work better, as they’re able to provide insight into fixing emergent issues that crop up in a better way.
For a case like this, idiomatically I believe it’d end up as something like this in Powershell (though I’ve never seriously used Powershell):

Get-JiraAttachment -Ticket {{args.ticket}} | Remove-JiraAttachment

… because Powershell pipes are structured, rather than just being strings.

If you were just wishing to emit the attachment IDs, you’d pipe the first bit through something like `Select Id`.

> Software architects should be involved in earliest system engineering activities.

Rather, the people doing these activities should have a solid background in software.

If you don't have software kung-fu, you shouldn't be designing something that will be heavily programmed in order to fulfill its function.
Considering that Bitcoin has very high and unreliable fees it's not good to buy things with. Instead Bitcoin Cash has gained a lot of adoption recently, for example all stores using BitPay also accept Bitcoin Cash. Also Monero is far superior in terms of privacy (and fungibility).

These are two examples with much better growth potential than Bitcoin, while being underappreciated by the masses.

The poster is holding a line of bash to the standard of code and is illustrating that readability should be the goal and a way of bringing bash commands to a standard of readability for something like a PR. Readability is really there to show _intent_

I would say though that if you are bringing this to the code standards of today then this should really be wrapped up in some kind of unit test (https://github.com/sstephenson/bats )for it to pass the PR. That would make the code a bit more maintainable and can be integrated as a stage in your CI/CD pipeline.

If we do that then the intent would be clarified by the input and the expected output of the test. Then then the code would at least be maintainable and the readability problem becomes less of an issue when it comes to technical debt.

I've done this plenty of times with my teams and its certainly helped.
As an US citizen, I feel like China's lack of free press and due process is fundamentally at odds with my countries core values. So maybe we should ratchet down trade with them.

Now if I'm China, and I'm looking at what Russia just did in the last presidential election, I'm thinking, let's just buy ourselves a pro-China candidate here in 2020. And I think our system is still vulnerable.

I don't even know how China got in the WTO in the first place. There were rumors that they had some significant influence in the Clinton administration, but I guess the promise of opening up the biggest market in the world to US companies was too shiny. Bush was too busy going to war to piss anybody else off. Who know's why Obama didn't do anything...
I wonder why they've chosen to report on news themselves, rather than pipe in AP/Reuters or something similar. Perhaps because no one else is covering the same stories?
It seems irresponsible to use the term fraud. You need strong evidence to accuse someone in a criminal offence.

You’ve just described e-commerce circa 1990!

On Usenet newsgroups and BBS conferences, sellers would post forms that looked exactly like that, except for the ads of course. Buyers would then send in their completed order form via either email/netmail or, preferably, via fax for added security.

I remember always choosing to fax in my orders; even way back then, sharing credit card details via email seemed like a very bad idea.
For those who don't watch him, EEVBlog has had excellent videos on the feasibility of solar roadways.
The difference here is that OP is referring to postal mail, not email.
> It was a failure but I’m glad they tried it. ... Solar roads are a great idea.

It was a bad idea. Even in theory. The only positive thing about it is that it captured the imagination of lots of people who know nothing about solar or roads.
I just don’t see how it’s worth it at all compared to putting solar panels on top of buildings.

Solar panels on buildings don’t need to be as rugged, don’t need to be cleaned daily, etc, and they also can be oriented towards the sun to maximize output.

Solar roads are a solution looking for a problem. I can imagine they’d be useful to squeeze out an extra few % of output in a world where everything else is covered in stationary panels, but we’re far from that so I don’t see why we should invest lots into them were the same investment would pay much more if it was about stationary panels.

I don’t know about Toronto, but, here in Philly, we are at the Make Office at 20th and Market, diagonal to WeWork.

We have private offices, better views, zero annoyance from fellow lessees (nobody leaning over to sell us insurance while we have headphones on, or harassing us about their recruiting services), pay half the rent (even less, now that we signed a long-term lease, previously we were month-to-month).

As far as I can tell, the WeWork across the street has a nicer interior and better coffee. That’s it. That’s all.

And it’s way more expensive and has a way more distracting culture.

The outsourced team of programmers from our software vendor did not. They (mostly) used the built in regional settings in Windows (best practice, don't reinvent the wheel) meaning we had to come up with ways to make sure the machines ran with wrong regional settings (since a lot of stuff was already serialized that way && critical parts of the software was hardcoded to use US standard.)

Fun times ;-)

Before this falls off the front page, I figured I would ask the following:

1) Does anyone have a resource for Japanese subtitles (in Japanese/kanji, not English)?

2) Does anyone have good frequency { word => frequency } lists? Especially if they are topical, eg. school-related, anime-related, industry-related.

3) What are the best programs for segmenting Japanese text into words reliably?

4) Does anyone have a vocabulary set for any given manga, anime, or film that you could study before watching?

5) In addition to Anki and Wanikani, what are good SRS apps or programs?

6) Does anyone use Skype (or similar) to practice with native Japanese speakers? How is it? How did you find people to practice with?

7) What is the inflection point (in terms of raw # of vocabulary) to being able to understand Japanese anime or drama? What JLPT level does this correspond to?

8) How many new words do you acquire per day of study? How long have you been studying? Have you taken any of the JLPT tests?
