> you’re as hypocritical as those you would accuse

I'm not going around judging people for ordinary oil use, I fully accept the costs of my actions, and I know that convenience is more important to me than reducing my carbon footprint, at some threshold. The hypocrisy comes from putting on an air of caring without putting in the work, as though it is somehow a moral accomplishment to impose the costs of your own lifestyle on others.

I also think it's pretty rich that this thread is nothing but name-calling, antagonism, and flamebait, and dang is nowhere to be seen; but I avoid all of this behaviour and somehow still get reprimanded because HNers can't help but be nasty to eachother in my threads.
I'm pretty sure it'd be impossible to point to any market anywhere and say "that's distortion free". By arguing that congress shouldn't adopt laws that "subtly distort" you're kind of making an appeal to conservatism (small c) rather than economic efficiency.
Where in Europe are you talking about? The majority of immigrants in any EU country come from other EU countries. Of the remainder, less than 10% arrived as refugees. The vast majority of refugees (over 90% I’d guess) are documented and those from Syria or North Africa constitute only a fraction of all refugees.

The average European is highly highly unlikely to have ever encountered an undocumented refugee from Syria or North Africa.
On the topic of deportation, has anyone seen anyone arrested for deportation at a music festival? Do we have any data that this is actually happening? I'm a crime analyst in Chicago and I can't imagine officers doing event management would ever spend time on nonviolent undocumented residents.
Oh great, another shill. We've been holding public events without FR for literally hundreds of thousands of years. Implying FR is needed in any way is not a position taken by an objective individual.
> The same common-sense regulations don’t exist for election systems. PCI and HIPAA are great successes that have gone a long way in protecting personally identifiable information and patient health conditions.

One of these is not like the other. ;)

PCI-DSS = Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard. It’s not a regulation (as in law), it’s a self imposed industry standard as the name implies.

HIPAA - Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act, as in an actual law passed by Congress and signed into law by President Clinton.

While PCI can end up with huge fines and/or inability to process payment transactions for non-compliance, it’s not a law.
>I’m just sceptical that someone in 1982 made accurate predictions of 2019. And all points in between? Without anyone noticing?

The Exxon scientists' predictions were proprietary company information at the time. Exxon didn't publish this information, they used it to their advantage.
What's the architecture of this idea? Is there a reasonable assumption that it would keep the complexity for maintainers low in 3+ repos having a relationship with each other? If so, how?
How about radioactive decay? Is that deterministic? Do atoms contain extra state somehow that determines when they will decay?
Shanghai traffic is quite congested, which slows it down considerably compared to Singapore. Drivers (at least to me) also seem more cautious in Shanghai, maybe because of the draconian penalties for hitting someone. 蓝村路 is a concrete example of a road that feels safer to cross due to traffic moving slowly, if you've ever been there. 浦电路 is another one.
This problem needs to be tackled from several angles, I think. Omnipresent cameras, linked to FR systems, are just as big a problem as misidentification.
No it isn't. If you can make 300k+ at FAANG you can find a 300k+ job across dozens of public companies.
Your examples are matters of opinion, the Exxon case is a matter of hiding facts known to the company which are not vague as an opinion of quality.
Yes, they always seem to neglect his views on corporations for some peculiar reasons.
> Strange: it says right there "concatenate files and print on the standard output".

Standard output is not necessarily a terminal.
"async" is required from the algorithmic point of view, so the algorithm can be expressed in terms of specific concurrency model. And in Rust, it's not just "async" that's required, but also a specific executor, which can affect concurrency model as well. Concurrency model can't be an implementation detail.

This is how I do relational databases in 2019. My database is a self contained module more akin to an rpc api than a database. My code has virtually no database logic in it at all. I don't know but it feels like functional databases could be a thing. We should call Martin Fowler and ask.
The problem is "enough time" can be a generation. For example, France didn't build any nuclear power plants for two decade, and when it finaly build a new one (EPR) it takes three time more time an money than expected, because no one no anything anyymore on building a nuclear power plant in France ....

Let's look at the robot some more. The universe made the bug possible and happen. I think we should try to fix the bug, even though it wasn't the robot's fault. I also think we should restrain the robot to prevent it from being able to kill again until we think the bug is fixed, even though it wasn't the robot's fault.

Do you disagree with me on either of these points?
No, I think we incentivize poor people to not work. ( I have been poor and the benefits you get are better than many jobs right now)

I also believe the corporations having rights of a human without the punishment is a problem on that side. If a corporation breaks the law they should put the C level and the board in jail just like they would any other person.

Things are imbalanced on both sides and the concept the US is not a Republic but is a Democracy is being sold so propaganda machines can manipulate the public.

Term limits on congress, remove the ability of congress to vote themselves raises and get bribes via lobbying. Eliminate the poor from being able to vote themselves other peoples money... things like this would set is off to a better direction.
So, after having a clear demonstration that the industry is clearly unable to be trusted to put public safety above deadlines in a more stringent regulatory environment, we shouldn't give pause to the fact we just let slip even more rein?

I mean, I get what you're saying, however, in programming there is a practice whereby on discovery of a bad implementation pattern, you start thinking of where else this pattern may have been used. That seems to be being demonstrated in this article.
If this article was intended to make the card company look good, and Banksy look corporate and bad, it has failed.
That's pretty much the position that I've come to concerning copyright.

Individual works last 20 years or until the first author's death, whichever is greater. The rights are assignable but non-transferable.

Corporate works last 20 years. The rights are transferable.

Then patents, NDAs, and non-competes are a whole other issue to resolve.

Cigarettes only kill people.

Oil saves more lives than it kills and it makes lives better for all of us. You can't just take the negatives and ignore all the positives.

Most of us wouldn't be here if it wasn't for oil, the internet would not be here if it wasn't for oil, most medicine, the ability to keep an incubator running let alone the materials for creating and I could go on we wouldn't be as many people on the planet today if it wasn't for our use of oil.
Oh thanks. I didn't realize you could enable italics only for comments. That's exactly what I was looking for!
No, you misunderstood. It means you have two systems, Old and New. You use Old and start development of New. And you do the payroll on both, and if there's a difference you debug that and modify New. After a while it's good enough. And you stop using Old.
Yeah, 100% I've never heard anything like this and don't think it is true.
If you want to be a tech lead and not someone's job all you have to do is go out of your way to own the things you are directly working on and go out of your way to help those who are working with you to achieve shared common goals. Once you have done this multiple times, its easy to schedule a meeting with your management and pitch the idea of you doing the same and more but this time with Tech Lead's title and if that doesn't happen go look out for opportunities outside your company.
Good tech leads lead by example in their IC role so they become natural successors into such a role. The give-me-your-job-because-I'm-better mentality rarely works and only causes resentment all around.
Fair, What if I work and I give my kids the fruits of my labor and they rent it out to you. Should I not benefit from the fruits of my labor ?

We keep our schema in an XML file which is kept our source control repository alongside the application code.

We have a tool to generate the XML and to take the XML and compare with a database and altering it to match the XML schema. Though we never delete data due to backwards compatibility, so no dropping of objects, reduction of column widths etc.

When deploying a new version the database is processed first, if successful the new executable is made available. If not it calls home so we can take a look.

To make changes in development, we commit a new XML to dev branch, we have a commit hook to upgrade the dev database.
> If anything, having a central institution that will bail out banks regardless of what happens is far more dangerous as it introduces a significant moral hazard whereby banks can take significant amount of risk (within applicable regulations, Basel III made it a bit more difficult after 2008) and know that they will be bailed out regardless of what happens. I can't say that this leads to a more stable economy than it would were we to have a full-reserve banking regime, or even a free market where banks choose their own reserve ratios.

Having worked in banking for the better part of the last decade, I agree with your points here. Basel III, CECL, CCAR have forced banks to be extremely conservative their lending, with a de facto scaling the conservativeness in the retail lending standard to their relative size. This being said, the banks that are designated as GSIB at least presently keep an awareness in mind of their sizes. (I worry that won't translate to bank executives over the next decade as those standards relax / roll back).

I can definitely see a situation where standards get relaxed or GSIBs opportunistically find loopholes and get us back to an overleveraged situation like 2008. While the repeal of Glass-Steagall opened up wonderful innovations in finance it also exposes retail clients to substantial risk -- and I don't think that has been substantially remediated.

Politics itself is part of the market. Politicians participate in the marketplace of ideas, they require money to market their ideas (campaign financing), and they compete with one another for power and influence. Government both regulates and participates in the market through contracts, causing prices to change, just as any other large participant does.

The criticism I offer for all “free market” types is this: it is naïve to ask, let alone hope, for government to act as an impartial referee. Government is a player with its own agenda. It always has been and, for as long as it is made up of self-interested human beings, it always will be.

As someone that believes in substantially increasing legal avenues for people to reside in the US, I do not agree that we should constrain law enforcement.

We should fix the damn laws, not make a conflicting hodgepodge of regulations meant to mitigate ones we don't like. Putting police and law enforcement in the middle of a political debate is a recipe for disaster.

Depends 99% on your relationships on how to proceed.

Assuming good ones, I’d tell the truth to the leads boss. Say you think the lead is struggling, way you think you could do better, and in the meantime provide as much help to both the lead and the leads team as possible.

If you tell your boss you’re going to take a more active role and it things start smoothing out, you’ll have a very good case.
Yes i agree but instead of trying to stop/hide the information, we should instead embrace it and fix whatever issue that come out from that.
I have no problem with the relaunch, but it takes a lot of time to do the actual update at relaunch time. So the launch time with update is at least a magnitude larger than it should be.

This coupled with the fact that Windows update is rather monolithical yet it should be simple to update most of the non-kernel parts without reboot leads to too many slow reboots :/
You need to say "no!" and get managers to say "no!" as well. Setting limits and boundaries etc...
>A healthy intellectual movement doesn't need to be convinced to pay attention to empirical evidence.

You misunderstand the reasoning behind the "rejection" of empiricism by Mises and those that followed him.

Austrian theory as formulated by Mises is based on a priori truths about human nature and cannot be falsifiable by evidence. This may sound outlandish when you first hear it especially when one comes from an engineering or natural science background, but there is a very well developed epistemological reasoning for this position that is often overlooked by critics.

The economy is composed of humans who act towards their own personal goals, whether that is to provide for their family, or become a billionare tech founder. This is a highly complex system with an incredible amount of variables (in the case of individual humans, the ordinal scale of preferences is quite literally infinite!). As such, there are no constants that can be inferred with the same level of reliability that we may have in physics like the rate of gravity on planet Earth.

Thus, empirical economic models have a much, much greater margin of error than what we have in the natural sciences, and it is therefore untenable to formulate economic theory based on inherently unreliable foundations.

Instead, as the economy is composed of humans acting and not objects acting, the Austrians look inwards and through a Kantian-esque process of introspection formulate the a priori action axiom ("Human action is purposeful behaviour.") and build their theory using logic based on that axiom - thereby creating a system of knowledge that is unfalsifiable through evidence and is always true.
Why is econometrics important? I went to UChicago during 2007 and econometrics was a major bane of all Econ majors. There was something so anti-pragmatic about reducing irrational economic actors into mere equations.

Meanwhile, did all of that sophisticated math improve the economy or predict the recession or help us out during recovery? It's nice to have hidden mathematical knowledge but is it actually providing benefits or is it just arcana?

Sure. But “Starcraft” in this instance is a metaphor for any activity. And he’s wasn’t staying up until 2-3 but until 1-2, and he wasn’t an adult. I didn’t have Starcraft growing up and I was still up that late, even if I was just lying in bed.

People bring up copyright, and its length, here but one critical point is that even if the movies would transition to public domain, that still would not release them from Disneys vault. Instead it would likely mean that Disney would exhort even tighter control over the copies. And make no mistake thinking that Disney would be completely clawless without copyright.
Even if thorium reactors could be built right now and use waste from older reactors, there is still the process of mining and handling radioactive material.

Nuclear may be preferable to coal but (IMO) not to large scale development of solar, wind, and higher efficiency grids.
South Carolina Judge Says State's Asset Forfeiture Programs Are Unconstitutional
Experian fiasco (and others that came* long before) taught us the shortcomings of these types of regulations.

Do you really feel like banking and medical records are being kept secure? If so I envy your confidence.

Compare that to the way our messages are being encrypted these days (iMessage comes to mind) and i think we’d find the regulation to be lacking.

The incentive provided by regulations (I.e. jail time or fines) doesn’t compare to incentives derived from competition, or (heaven forbid) profit.

It’s, for better or for worse, human nature.
CAISO has a great live dashboard that you can play around with on the actual real time demand and supply curves. If you switch to previous days, you'll see the "duck curve" is already here and not just speculation anymore.

https://www.caiso.com/TodaysOutlook/Pages/default.aspx

The issue nowadays isn't so much the depth of the dip in dispatchable (e.g. traditional) generation, but the slope of the ramp back up after the sun goes down (e.g. the "neck" of the duck). Base load natural gas an other fossil generation have a very difficult time spinning up that quickly (CAISO said it was ~11GW over 3 hours yesterday).

That's why batteries are such a hot topic in renewables right now. Not so much for storing power for "a rainy day", but for helping load shift during the day to prevent such a steep slope in the evenings. Lithium is pretty good at doing that kind of short, daily-burst storage job.

It won’t happen. People that do this are generally mocked as useful fools, it’s a “Thanks, for setting your new expectations! Now enjoy living up to them for zero additional pay. When you get tired of it we’ll be sure to punish you.”

The OP should just offer to management to be a co-tech lead for additional pay, citing the belief that he can help and otherwise do nothing nefarious or antisocial and look elsewhere for work. He’s already either viewed favorably or not by upper management, which will determine this. It’s largely not performance based, he has to be competent, but liked. People won’t agree with my idea because it’s not “the ideal world and way it’s supposed to be“, but it’s based off my very hard earned experience.

Two things are true in this industry, no one wants to pay and it’s not a meritocracy. That’s all smoke and mirrors, it’s pure capitalism.

Of course it is -- when you have continuations, which each and every imperative language has, although usually without explicit control over them. With explicit access to
continuations, everything expressible with async is expressible without it. Or, more precisely, whether something is "async" or not is not a feature of a certain piece of code but of a certain execution. Essentially, it means whether some computation may want to suspend itself and resume execution later. That you must express that capability as a type-system enforced property of some syntactic element -- a subroutine -- is accidental complexity.

To get an intuitive feel for why that is so, try to imagine that the OS were able to give you threads with virtually no overhead, and you'll see how anything that's expressible with async would be expressible without it. Over the years we've so internalized the fact that threads are expensive that we forgot it's an implementation detail that could actually be fixed.

Computations in Rust can suspend themselves without declaring themselves to be async: that's exactly what they do when they perform blocking IO. They only need to declare themselves async when they want a particular treatment from the Rust compiler and not use the continuation service offered by the runtime, which in Rust's case is always the OS.
