The NYT and myself have a very different definition of “innovation”.

There’s plenty of unsupported beliefs that the hacker news community pushes that can be just as dangerous and that come from an over reliance on science. Teaching religion is no different than teaching that the universe may be part of a simulation, or that extra terrestrials probably exist, or that AGI is a real problem that they should fear. Faith is anything you can’t directly validate and nobody has a perfectly rational basis for all their beliefs, it’s not possible.
There are also issues with 737 NG[1]:

Not really. SGML (and XML) are "meta-markup languages", meaning you declare your vocabulary yourself or use a ready-made one. There is in fact a simple general-purpose vocabulary declared in an ISO/IEC 8879:1986 appendix consisting of generic paragraph and heading elements, but it's not widely used in that form.

> There is of course a reason which is well documented in the papers. Constructors, and initialization expressions can have side effects in C++. An invariant of the language is that member constructors are always invoked in declaration order, so if you were to swap the initializers around, the compiler would still have to initialize them in the original order, which would be surprising.

The following:

Point2D pt = {.y = 5, .x = 6};

should not have meant that 'y' is initialized before 'x'. It's only a lexical convenience that exists before parsing. When the code is parsed into an AST, the actual AST would reflect the following code:

Point2D pt = {.x = 6, .y = 5};

There is absolutely no reason to enforce declaration order.

I guess what we see is in part due to the transition towards more and more ”highlevel”. Now don’t get me wrong here, ”high level” in general is supposed to make life easier for developers, more rapid development and for corporate a better ROI. The downside is that it requires less understanding of the underlaying foundations (it hides it on purpose) from the developers/engineers.

Now I’m not saying that ”high level engineers” are less engineers than others, but it’s not surprising that we’re moving in the direction we’re moving. It’s by design.

(Now this doesn’t explain everything, far from it, but IMO it’s why we see an image writer weighting in on 300MB compared to a C/C++ version at <1MB)
The can of worms has been officially opened, and this may turn out to be a case study in how bad software and outsourcing your centers of excellence can bankrupt a company.

If TFA is to believed, Boeing has embarked on a project to take what is currently a master-slave failover design and jury-rig it into a master-master real-time system. This is based on bad performance in the simulator—not because of MCAS—but while testing errant memory errors from a simulated gamma ray strike!

The obvious question of how can dual-master ever work when they disagree if there isn’t a 3rd source of truth to vote out the failure? This means the software running in both computers has to somehow agree which one is wrong, while one of them is in a potential failure state. This... isn’t how flight control systems are designed from first principals.

I’m not a flight system designer, but there must be hundreds of physical, electrical, and architectural considerations taken at every point in the design process which enable multi-master controllers with the ability to vote out a failure. Everything from the particular sensor suite, the number of sensors, the way they are wired, the way data is acquired and bused through the system, the timing and synchronization of the system clocks, the way that control outputs are calculated, queued, and ultimately issued to downstream controllers... none of the necessary pieces will be in place in a system which up until now makes you select a single master controller before embarking on your flight.

The only conclusion I can reach is that Boeing has lost its mind, and this project is absolutely doomed to fail. The architecture that Boeing has apparently committed itself to now is extremely difficult to design from first principals and a blank slate. I just don’t see how it’s something that can realistically be papered onto a legacy dual-computer system after the fact.

The part in TFA about “adding a wire” practically made me spit out my coffee. The sheer level of arrogance that Boeing management must have to think this would be possible - is just a classic example of an elitist MBA management group totally disconnected from any technical domain expertise. Boeing said they would have this ready for certification by the end of this year?!

Even if "innovative" was just a synonym of "original", it's not even an original idea, as many European countries have already tried a wealth tax -- and I'm fairly certain every country that has tried it has repealed it not long after.
There are currently three New York Times articles on the front page of HN. None of them are particularly interesting or well-written. I really don’t see why this is necessary.

I notice the people who attack these studies are often the same people who want to claim there isn't any genetic difference between women and men in the same breath. That's the kind of claim that requires evidence.. such as these studies.

Whether or not there are genetic differences doesn't mean you should treat anyone differently. But, if say we know that brown eyed people are wired so that math is harder for them then we have a good case for giving them additional advantages (scholarships, tutoring, etc) to help overcome that disparity. On the other hand, if there are no genetic disparities but in wealthier countries brown eyed people prefer to avoid math if they can, well, that's also informative (maybe the math field isn't welcoming to them, or maybe work in that field doesn't engage them well)
This seems basically right. But not everything happens in the context of a business. You’ll care a lot more about what happens in the editor when you’re building a kernel, or a compiler, or a query engine, etc

I'm pretty confident that you could write something that was equivalent to all the useful `pickle` calls. By that I mean you'll need to know which operations you'll want to do on your unpickled object:

readAny :: forall c r. [TypeWithReadAnd c] -> String -> (forall a. c a => a -> r) -> Maybe r
readAny types string handle

I think it's fair to say "hey, pickle doesn't require me to list all my types explicitly", but on the other hand, it's not like pickle can conjure those types out of thin air--it considers only the types that are defined in your program.

Here's an example that uses Read as the serialization format and only deals with Int, Char and String; but hopefully you can imagine that I could replace the use of read with a per-type function that deserializes from a byte string or whatever.

It's not just the car itself - although the UAW GM strike was partially about that. It's everything else that goes into manufacturing the car.

US example: only around 300k people are employed by GM, Ford, and Crystler (excluding the rest of FCA). Let's assume that the total figure rises to 1m once you account for everyone employed by foreign manufacturers in the US, Tesla, &c.
Another 7m people are directly (component manufacturers) or indirectly (e.g., dealers) employed by companies in or who are associated with the US automotive sector.

A non trivial number of jobs in the 1m bucket are going to be lost over the next decade because of electrification. A much larger number and percentage of jobs are going to be lost in the 7m bucket over the same time frame.
"Yet he is now the latest affluent American to warn that Senator Elizabeth Warren’s plan for much higher taxes on the rich would be bad not just for the wealthy but for the rest of America, too."

I've watched the clip several times now and this is horrible characterization by this journalist. The title of this piece even seems to be click bait-y. We're starting to have a national conversation about more heavily taxing billionaires again but so much of the media is pumping this up into a "the Populists are going to eat the rich" kind of hysteria.

IMO.

The fact that the tax rate for the very rich has been reduced that much over the decades (not just in the US) shows how much they have corrupted the political process.
The internet is crucial for many people to be productive.

If by "internet" you meant "fscebook, twitter, Instagram and the like", you already see the problem.

I'd say that delaying gratification somewhat is key. If you stop the internal monkey from getting its immediate hit of dopamine, and get the conscious part of you involved, you can be productive and enjoy it.
Men have larger body mass on average. For example, the difference is about 10 kg. (20 lb.) in the US:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body_weight#Average_weig...

It seems pretty clear that absolute brain mass is not that important, but the ratio of brain to body mass, is. For example, whales famously have (much) larger brains than humans, but are not (considered) as intelligent as humans.

https://ofwhale.com/how-big-is-a-whales-brain/

The brain of the sperm whale is the largest, five times heavier than a human’s. The adult sperm whale brain is 8,000 cubic centimeters weighing about 8 kg (18 lb), while ours is about 1300 cubic centimeters. A human brain can weigh 1.5 kg in adulthood.

Note again: sperm whales have five times more brains than humans.

The last 3 Xcode updates have always failed to install for me. Of course it downloads the full 7-8 GB before failing. My only solution thus far is to delete Xcode and then the App Store sees it as an install instead of an upgrade, which works.
They still have it where I live (Catalonia, Spain).

Also, the fact that was repealed doesn’t really say whether or not it was a good policy or not.

> a simulated edge case involving "gamma rays from space"?

Soft-errors are a prime concern when designing safety-critical systems, both in hardware and in software. It's not some outlandish edge case.

Incidentally, while soft-errors in an airplane are probably primarily particles from space, on the ground we're still sometimes talking about it, but in reality it's mostly chip packages that are low radioactive and emitting a alpha particle or so.
Except that you do need to know two technologies. Part of architecting it right is also using the technologies correctly and that's extra knowledge + time + skill.
Tax on wealth (earnings which were already taxed once) will lead most shareholders to do the math and skip over to Canada or Europe if profitable. Especially companies ran in a remote/asynchronous manner.
One thing that bothers me about modern Christianity is that I don’t think Christian Bibles or worship songs should be copyrighted. I understand why they feel the need to protect their work but it seems like that work should be funded with donations and not by restricting how many verses of the Bible a person can copy at a time, which according to the license you included is what the ESV Bible requires.

Cool project though, I like the idea of being able to read the Bible without accidentally pressing play on an audio version.

I thought Gate's commentary was on Warren's proposal for a 2%/yr tax on all assets (not income) in excess of $50m.

The article instead seems to be entirely about marginal tax rates.

A wealth tax has a lot more implications than changes to the marginal tax rates on income and capital gains-- it has different economic effects and requires far more invasive interactions from the government.

E.g. the content of Gates' home is largely his own private business, but under a wealth tax will he have to account for all his possessions and report them to the government? If not, then why wouldn't the tax be avoidable by buying expensive art?

In the past, including recently, Gates has been pretty consistent about supporting higher tax rates for the wealthy, in particular citing estate taxes and capital gains as areas that deserved focus. (https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/13/bill-gates-suggests-higher-t...).

To me this suggests that NYT is just trying to create a bad guy opponent to make a boring policy discussion sound like something that requires pitchforks.
Yeah, but they got coverage in the NY Times and you got Medium . . . life is not fair
“Working to kill the open web”? That’s not how I would describe needing to get paid for their work.
Spain, Belgium, Switzerland and Norway have some form of a wealth tax, and it can bring them between 0.5 to 3+% of total revenue.

If America could raise 1% of its revenue from wealth taxes, that would be a yearly revenue of ~$31.8B.

For reference, NASA's yearly budget is around $21B, and the cost of free college for all Americans would be around $45B depending on plan and how aggressive a single payer could reduce costs.

The title does not say Bangalore is not a 'real name'. That is your intepretation, presumably to justify your argument.

Not forcing anything, it was posted as informational. The tone in the link or my comments is not forceful. Your own tone, however? Again, framed justification.

Warren's wealth tax makes me feel like she doesn't really understand how most wealth is held by billionaires. It's extremely illiquid, held in company stock, private business, wealth funds, private equity, and other things that don't allow someone to easily pay her 6% wealth tax ever year. It also would fundamentally change how businesses are owned in America. Imagine Bezos having to sell off 6% of his Amazon stake every year...eventually he wouldn't be the major shareholder any more. Mutual funds would become the large shareholders of every business since they would get to avoid this tax. The stock market would tumble (in my opinion), as there would always be a constant "sell" pressure on the market.

Now, she's an incredibly smart woman and I'm sure she does know exactly how it's held and its problems, which just makes me think she's trying to grab headlines with her platform without any real plans on how to do it. (Which seems to fit with her pattern on her platform anyway).
Being swamped shouldn't prevent them from at least starting somewhere, and Google and Facebook are violating it so badly it should be a very easy case... yet none of the data protection agencies dare to go anywhere near it (there have been cases against but they seemed to hinge on minor violations as opposed to the elephant in the room).

Plus, the swamping problem will stop because the first high-profile case will scare everyone else into compliance.

(1) The post I was responding to was about Microsoft Office 2019 being able to open documents created by older versions, not about Microsoft Office 97 being able to run on modern Windows.

(2) Microsoft Works (at least the version we had a license to) definitely does not run on modern Windows. My dad's business is forced to keep a Windows XP VM alive, in order to keep running Works Database, because as I mentioned, there's still not a migration path to anything for it.
Here in Sweden women leave male dominated subjects in education at the same rate that men leave female dominated subjects.

There is a lot of similarities when women leave a programming profession and when men leave the teacher profession. Both will say that they feel the social environment is unconformable. Both will say that there is an unequal treatment from students and faculty. Both will report of gender based bullying and harassment.

And the similarities continue in how quickly people leave the profession. Both has a significant higher leave rate while student, during the first year as employed and after 10 years. Being a minority gender is leaky pipe, and if we look at work segregation in general using numbers from a few years ago, 84.3% men and 84.2% women worked in a gender segregated work place.

From last year national workplace health survey, the industry with highest rate of bullying and sexual harassment was nursing, which swapped placed with construction which was the previous worst workplace. That those two professions are next to each other in toxic work environment makes perfect sense if we assume there is practically no difference biologically, socially and culturally between men and women.

A clever twist in Warren's proposal is that the Government has the right to buy your property for whatever you've listed it for.

Now I'm sure any attempt to actually do that would end in a court case, but it's not really worth the risk to the owner of said wealth to offer the government all your Rembrants at bargain basement prices.
