you can't attribute staying out of nuclear conflict to any head of state, morality, or even logic ( there was plenty of luck involved ).

For example, after Kennedy resigned himself to striking the sites in Cuba during the missile crisis it was someone else who told him he was wrong and reconsider. (see the documentary Fog of War)

To put a fine point on it, even after all the brinksmanship, analysis, diplomacy to resolve the Cuban missile crisis it was a long Soviet officer objecting to launch a nuclear armed torpedo in response to sounding depth charges (interpreted as an attack) from US ships. Pulling the trigger would have started a global thermonuclear war but it wasn't pulled, one officer decided that against a 2/3 vote in favor.

"Later that same day, what the White House later called "Black Saturday," the US Navy dropped a series of "signaling depth charges" (practice depth charges the size of hand grenades[114]) on a Soviet submarine (B-59) at the blockade line, unaware that it was armed with a nuclear-tipped torpedo with orders that allowed it to be used if the submarine was damaged by depth charges or surface fire.[115] As the submarine was too deep to monitor any radio traffic,[116][117] the captain of the B-59, Valentin Grigorievitch Savitsky, decided that a war might already have started and wanted to launch a nuclear torpedo.[118] The decision to launch these required agreement from all three officers on board, but one of them, Vasily Arkhipov, objected and so the nuclear launch was narrowly averted."

There are plenty of examples where, basically, a roll of the dice saved civilization during the cold war. The destruction of society during the cold war was prevented by luck as much as anything else.
I've used combinations of all 3, and it hasn't really made a difference to be honest. I'm ok with a shower a day and getting 18 hours of coverage - the point I was making was that I still need a shower a day. A lot of people can't get by with less without making people shuffle away from them in public.
I've bought something like 10 of them (the oldest two are Gigabyte Brix, but I'll count those with them). There are a few home servers, but the main use is as a pool of machines to use for oVirt, Open Stack, Kubernetes and RHEL work. The machines get wiped and repurposed quite a bit.

They're a lot more convenient for this than actual 19" servers, since they take up a tiny fraction of the space and power of even a single server. However they would be so much more useful if I could remote IPMI into them rather than having to find a monitor, keyboard, HDMI cable and mouse every time I want to fix them.

They would also be reasonable for home theatre since they are silent and low power, while at the same time having decent CPUs, but they use Intel graphics so I guess they probably can't drive 4K + 60Hz displays, although I've never actually tried.
Think bigger. Self reported income should not determine credit lines in the first place. This is a bigger problem.
Yeah, but why learntherisk.org?

Is this an authoritative source of information? That website screams confirmation bias all-around.
Pinterest absolutely should be completely deindexed everywhere.
Why not have a option for those affected to opt-out of Equifax from having or collecting any of my data. What they have should be removed, and never to be collected again by this company or owners etc. They failed us, they will do it again. I have no trust in Equifax and its leadership.
Basically China is an ideological extension of the cold war. It's an oligarchal society where the people don't have a vote for their future. Versus us where there is balanced based off the vote. The two are incompatible and they will come to a head. If we pre-empted this the way Neumann, McArthur, etc wanted... we would avoid the conflict that is coming in 10-20 years.
I'm not really worried about bugs, because the code I have works well, and I doubt I'm going to do any serious new Python 2 development.
I've never understood why car lots carry so many redundant inventory choices to just sit around in the elements and rot. It seems immensely wasteful.
It might just be me, but isn't that just how you name your attributes within the function definition? I don't see how that would help disambiguate without have to look at the function definition at the very least.
Any recommendations for one for rare printing that is also as small as it gets? I want to be able to put it away easily instead of give it space to live due to its size.
Exactly, thank you.

It's also worth noting Keynesian economics was 70 years old in 2008. People willingly forgot this stuff to justify other political priorities.
thats why RSS and those like/share buttons existed
Why should he? It‘s your choice to use it or not. If you feel uncomfortable, go and selfhost it. Or don‘t use it at all. But there is no reasoning to prohibit it for everyone.
If you actually read the article most of the statements of fact are about the omnibox autocomplete system, and then they use innuendo to imply some things about search engine ranking. But these are two completely separate systems, and it makes sense that a system that is literally telling you what to type is more sensitive than the search result ranking. It is not a flaw of Google that it won't suggest "is hillary clinton still controlled by the jews" when you type "is hillary clinton". If it was just a big trie of what everyone typed, it would be completely dominated by 4chan troll bots.
LASIK seems to work well for many people. My sister had it years ago, and I have several friends who've had it too. None of them, to my knowledge, have any regrets whatsoever.

Seems more like a case of: "Look -- We have editorial independence. We published this negative article about Amazon with information that literally
everyone who uses Amazon already knows and takes into account."
Before you criticize me for calling a dangerously flawed currency a shitcoin, you should criticize those who use "bitcoin" and "cryptocurrency" interchangeably. Bitcoin was fine back in the day but is terribly flawed in 2019. Are the fanboys never going to move beyond this?

Does this use ghostscript? Was looking into doing this a while back but wasn't sure if I'd have to get a license from Artifex to use it in a SaaS app.
statickit.com and css-tricks.com both seem to use https://prismjs.com/ for highlighting
No, that's incorrect.
That only happens when one or more of the 3rd party sellers are part of the "Fullfillment by Amazon" program (FBA).
If I was a lawmaker I would make FBA illegal, it is an open door for untraceable counterfeits. I think its the primary reason we are seeing major brands like Nike and Birkenstock walking away from Amazon.
Not quite. Because the chance is 0%, the fact that you were able to pick the choice (with 0%) at all implies a contradiction.
Oh, and I'll add in a separate comment because it's sort of unrelated. Code structure should have very little to do with how you narrow down failing code.

You can do a binary search by just shoving some log statements into the application and seeing what prints out (or hell, use the debugger for your toolset). That doesn't change if I have 100 lines in a single method, or 500 lines divided out into 100 different "tiny" methods.

I think it's actually harder when the methods are all split, because again - more paging back and forth in the editor to add the required debugging info.
> [...] mention this is happening serverside

Not being snarky, but the submission title does say "Server".
The subtext of every article like this is "How to motivate people (without paying them more or giving them equity)."

In many, perhaps most, situations, people are working to build things they don't own. That is the context. Any other spin on the context is just manipulation.

This stuff might work on some people, but, as a regular employee, I'm most motivated by frankness from my bosses. Nothing turns me off faster than platitudes about the purpose of our work or why I should be motivated by it.
This. Work is just like any other endeavor: the questions, "What are we doing?" and, "Why are we doing this?" need to be answered. The first informs the second in that people are generally willing to do truly meaningful work for no compensation, with a decline in the "meaning" necessitating an increase in compensation. If you can't articulate meaning satisfactorily, be prepared to increase compensation. If you can do neither, be prepared for high turnover. People don't want to waste their time.
I've been a sourcehut user for about half a year now and I have to say that it has been a breath of fresh air for me. I have used GitHub and GitLab for years, and detest working with either. I know that both companies have a lot of smart people behind them, but both GitHub and GitLab are horrendously slow to use on my internet connection and packed to the brim with what I could consider anti-features. With sourcehut I finally have a code hosting solution that lets me focus on being productive.
I have an old LaserJet 1320 sitting in the garage and like you, I use it very infrequently.

Unfortunately, it's not wireless and I didn't want to run a network cable just for that. So I bought a Raspberry Pi Zero W, connected it to the printer via a USB cable, installed cups and some other packages and now I can print wirelessly from either desktop or mobile.

The printer has been very reliable.
Fascist has long been a synonym for authoritarian. I don't know why so many people suddenly take issue with it. Terms for social and political movements often come to refer to sets of behaviors associated with those movements.
Do you not have the choice? (I was under the impression that PRK couldn't correct very large prescriptions, but maybe it is larger than contacts? They claim it is very reversible, but the studies I read made it seem like maybe your eyes start to have permanent changes due to different growth rates, so are you saying you wish you had never done it? Or are you just saying "if I were you", but using phrasing that I am misparsing?)
How to be an innovator? Know the current state of the art first
I bought a Dell multifunction colour laser printer / scanner / fax (C1765NF) around 8 years ago. It is perfect for occasional usage, and a full set of toners is only £25. Unfortunately they sold their printer branch and no longer make them.

I believe there's only two companies making laser printers now (HP and Brother?), so there isn't really much choice. As others say you might be better off getting something on eBay.

Whatever you get check the prices of new toners (third party are fine; refilling yourself isn't worth the effort/mess) first as some are going to be the same price as the printer.

Ha! I thought I was the only one that loved being able to see any swimmers in my water bottle. I guess that's more of a drawback, but being able to have magnifying vision is pretty awesome. I use contacts sparingly when working, and glasses the rest of the time, and the maintenance thereof is not really a big deal.
Vanta (YC W18) Is Hiring Customer Success Managers in SF
Much of the HN codebase consists of anti-abuse measures that would stop working if people knew about them. Unfortunately.

There's a very old version of HN that pg published years ago (at http://arclanguage.org/). It would be nice to get that updated and maintained, but separating out the secret parts would by now be a lot of work. The time to do it will be if and when we eventually release the alternative Arc implementations we've been working on.

Correct, it creates what is essentially a negative feedback loop.
It's an important concern, but I think mitigatable - especially since we're not neccessarily talking about actual self contained replicating machines, and instead more likely automated factories producing drones - a multi step process where everything has to go right for replication, and into which safeguards can be engineered/studied. Basically, the process needs to be designed to fail due to entropy without external intervention/maintenance.

If we become advanced enough to consider building such things, we can engage in a serious investigation of the risks - for now it's just speculation.

Holy observation bias, Batman! The only thing even resembling actual negative statistics in this article is the ballpark estimates by the ex-FDA advisor, and those are just guesses.

You can find negative experiences, sure, but what is the actual incidence of that? Without that data, this is utterly meaningless. It certainly isn't damning.
> Hackathons in and of themselves do generally have structure. But what I’m referring to here is a structure that integrates innovation into your day-to-day, versus one day a year. If you’re going to infuse a culture of innovation throughout your organization, you’ll need to keep at it. Otherwise, it’s like going all out at the gym once a year in pursuit of physical fitness. You won’t see nearly the same results you would if you make it a consistent, regular habit.

Perfectly sums up how I feel about hackathons. I'd rather have a little time every week to work on whatever I want rather than binge once a year.
I would have to find the paper, but generally yes. If I remember correctly one paper presented a network, that was able to recognize giraffes on images, never seeing a giraffe during training.

It was trained on embedding sentences and images into the same latent space.
I can't believe I've never thought of it in physical terms before! This is perfect!

I'm working on some of our internal screens at work and part of this is me really trying to get things right and easy for everyone. However, yeah, there _are_ things that should be hard to impossible to do because they shouldn't be doing them and we've entered the realm of needing to coordinate with people and raise flags that something errored along the way.

At first people thought of it in terms of the needless waist friction that had become so prevelant, but soon came to realize that it was a good friction telling them they were off the beaten path, allowing them to hand stuff over to their managers and get problems taken care of before causing problems for customers, wasting customer services time as well as causing us to expend more resources to correct the mistake.

Like you said, friction in just the right places allows good things to happen.
A long time ago it was promised that the FDA would eventually approve intraocular lens replacement for vision correction as well. What ever happened to that?

To be fair, it calls itself a fork of Busybox, which implies that most of its source originated in Busybox.
The WSJ it’s not the only place in town when it comes to Internet search, while Google effectively is the only search engine that counts.

That’s why a guy like Brin was correct in his value assessment.

My fiance just underwent LASIK about 6 months ago. She has had zero complications.

It's a very successful procedure, for the vast majority of people who undergo it. I fail to see why "it should never have been approved".

What do you make of dowries, where the bride's family transfers wealth to the groom's family? Are they buying the sex of the groom? This would be consistent with what you are saying. Dowries (wealth from bride's family to groom's family) are much more common today and throughout history than a dower (the reverse wealth transfer).
So, in other words... an "exploration phase" which is done prior to writing tests?
We are a manufacturing facility and the amount of meetings to discuss how to best implement LEAN, 6S, and kaizen has become comical. Many of these meetings indeed turn into complaint fests between managers from different groups.
It's pretty unlikely they tried hard then. I know of 4 in my close family alone. Brother- and sister-inlaw, and two cousins.

There have also been a number of co-workers and distant friends who suddenly stopped wearing glasses, and seem quite happy with their Lasik.
That's the problem. You assume that because you have a couple of passed tests that you know your code. Tests are like any other code, they incur bugs at the same rate as other code, and as such can very much give a false sense of safety.
You are talking about what is (or is equivalent to) printf-style debugging; if you use an actual debugger, you can step over function calls, you’ve got to do more work manually setting breakpoints to do the equivalent with undifferentiated streams of code in a long function.
That was my point... did you need a sarcasm tag?

The last thing you should do is listen to people who "deal with [crime] on a daily basis". They have no exposure to the overall extent of the problem, and are instead exposed to a hyper-concentrated dose of the worst criminals, often by the very nature of the job. Your society could be experiencing an immense and historically unprecedented reduction in crime, and yet the people who deal with criminals as their full-time job will (from their perspective) still see the world as a hive of scum and villainy.
Exactly, and when the workaround is "just use one of the other 3 or 4 major browsers that are probably already installed on your work computer" (and if you're using an enterprise setup as mentioned in the article, you've probably got 2 or 3 things that are still locked into IE, probably IE6 for some stupid reason).

If your business is so locked into using Chrome, and specifically Chrome, and you aren't paying money to Google to ensure it keeps working as you need it, then you have only yourself to blame.

(And yes, being unable to disable the experiments thing, and not giving any warning before-hand, is a mistake on Google and the Chrome teams part, and hurts Chrome's enterprise-ready image, but that doesn't refute the point above).

If an essential piece of your business relies on something you have no control over, then you only have yourself to blame when that reliability fails and you can't fix it. Cost of doing business, at worst.

The point is to generate choices / alternatives.

If you go the government involvement route you ossify industries and actually can make it harder for folks to compete.

Funeral home chains were famous for pushing for lots of crazy regs that only a system with big economies of scale could meet to push out smaller independents.

In some cities like SF zoning hoops mean that only folks with HUGE pockets / attorneys and long time horizons can get through the planning / permitting and building process - all other restaurants etc basically need to rent (which means if they make the neighborhood nice they don't benefit).

What I want to know - is there a trusted online seller available now that a reasonable amazon alternative?

>I remind them that the video world has to do that same level of work, except x24 per second multiplied by number of seconds.

While this is true, video frames only have to stand up to scrutiny for ~40ms. You can take a lot of clever shortcuts when an onlooker only has a fraction of a second to spot the rough edges!
I was just trying to make the point that as stated I wouldn't buy it. I'm sure who you paraphrased gave it some more in-depth thought though.

For instance if you were to tell me that walking upright opened up possibilities, such as creating and using advanced tools, which required larger brains, then I'd definitely be on board with that possibility.

I just choose to interpret that sentence literally and narrowly to make a point about it specifically, not about Gould's theory as a whole (which I haven't read).
