1200 lbs a year, assuming a half pound per serving, is only 2400 servings a year, or about six a day. I can't imagine six bowls of beans does much to pay the bills even in rural Montana.
No, the point is that there is more to life than money. Caring for your own child has value that isn't captured by the amount of money you would have to pay someone else to do it. If you only care about economic efficiency then the whole idea of childcare is misguided; to maximise productivity you should set children to work as soon as they're able.

FYI, "comparative advantage" has a specific meaning, it isn't just a synonym for "advantage, but in economics".

Why do you think telescopes in space - where they don't need to fight gravity just to stand - can't soon, with reasonable development, surpass land-based ones in capabilities?

Everything is driven by the business case. Is there a business case to optimise for range queries? If so, optimise for that. Is there a business case for individual record queries? Then optimise for that. Is there a case for both? Then optimise for that.

You have at least 15 years of experience and can't get an offer of 120K in Chicago? I don't believe that it’s plausible. Well, unless it's not a "high-tech" job you are talking about, meaning that your comment is not relevant to the article or discussion at all?

If you are a software developer (or data-scientist, or anything that qualifies as "high-tech"), it is very strange that after 15 years your skills did not appreciate or improved enough to qualify for a 120K offer.
Precisely. It turns out that despite some of it's flaws, having your currency managed by a central organization that is incentivized for stability tends to work better than a handful of data miners stealing electricity in China.

I'm gonna bet that the music licensing for all of these films is a mess. Only licensed for so long, or for so many kinds of distribution. Some may be easy to deal with. Some may not. But who wants to find out? Who wants to open that can of worms and potentially get embroiled in lengthy, complicated negotiations with music labels?
Maybe some new readers expect something... More? I personally am a great fan - and I do think William Gibson And Bruce Sterling did a lot to cement cyberpunk as a strong genere (not alone, Vernor Vinge, Philip K Dick certainly played a big part).

But the line continues back - William Gibson wrote a new foreword to Tiger, Tiger / The Stars My Destination by Alfred Bester. And Richard Morgan's series Altered Carbon continue forward in this vein of combining punk/pulp, dystopia and technology.

Personally I grown more and more fond of Gibson's vision of escaped AIs being worshipped as Vodou legbas.
> Essentially I don’t think it’s really enough to consider the asymptotic complexity of algorithms to compare practical runtimes. You need to know what the smaller-order / constant terms are.

Nitpick: even if you know the constant terms, that would only tell you the number of operations required to execute the code. That's not enough to compare runtimes, because runtimes are also impacted by other factors like branch prediction rate and cache hit rate. You need to consider those factors as well, in order to compare runtimes.

At some point, articles become completely unreadable when they try to address every possible nitpick. Some tangents are better left unexplored in a blog post.
I'm pretty sure your last statement is also true for men, quite possibly to a greater extent (since men more commonly focus on their careers to the exclusion of their children).
I believe it is and in fact I think I read an article here on HN not too long ago that talked about it. There seems to be an associated organization:

Also of note, hash tables (unless they are using perfect hashing) are not O(1). Big O notation refers to the worst case time, and the worst case time for a hash table is when the hash key is non-unique and the desired element needs to be looked up in a table. The relation between N and the complexity of this operation is somewhat implementation / data distribution dependent, but in the true worst case it is O(N) (all keys in the same bucket).
When I worked at Mashable, I got to meet Mr. Spinney in 2013. I was direct off a redeye and came straight from JFK to the office so I could meet him (it was a closed set and we were doing a collab with Sesame Street/Oscar the Grouch and Grumpy Cat, I was one of like 4 employees they let observe and I’m forever grateful for that opportunity). I cried like a a baby meeting him and thanking him for all he did for children all over the world.

As a kid, Sesame Street was extremely important to me. I loved it as much as I’ve ever loved anything and Big Bird was just so wonderful. The first movie I ever saw in the theater was Follow That Bird in 1985, and even at 2 years old, that experience left an indelible mark that influenced the rest of my life.

I think I loved Sesame Street and the muppets so much because it was a TV show and characters that felt like they understood what it was like to be a child. It educated without pandering and it encouraged creativity and learning.

Spinney said in interviews that he thought his success with Big Bird was because he never forgot what it was like to be a child. That came through with the work.

And Oscar, though not a character I loved as much as Big Bird, was always a favorite. He was mean and he liked nasty things, but he was always kind to children and his pets. It was proof all types of people can exist and be friends, even when they don’t have a lot in common.

The Museum of the Moving Image had a Jim Henson exhibit last year that was really fantastic - and seeing all the stuff from Sesame Street and beyond really made me grateful people like Henson and Spinney and Frank Oz and so many others existed.

The cumulative effect of wasting (more or less) 8 hours a day 5 times a week is also dramatic. You can work to improve the social life of a homeschooled child, improving the education of a publicly schooled child is a much bigger challenge if for no other reason than the amount of time they're "stuck" receiving a rote and mediocre (at best) education.
Static variable initialisation that is not initialisation of such variables local to functions is performed before the program starts running, so there cannot be multiple threads.

I can't remember the case in C, but in C++ the initialisation of a function local static variable is guaranteed to be thread-safe.

It’s that and the poor state of public education. I couldn’t read this article so I searched using similar terms. Seiners could only find 15% of applicants that could read at the 9th grade level.

In some senses, no hash tables are O(1).

Hash tables are bounded below by the speed of arithmetic. A trillion-bit number takes a while to multiply. You may have never touched a trillion-bit number, but it's called "asymptotic" for a reason.

You only get O(1) if you use a model of computation in which arithmetic is constant time. It's simple to work with, even though it's not realistic, and opens up scenarios where you can encode a really complex operation into adding/multiplying some huge numbers, and then claim the overall computation is still fast.

Some theorists use a model of computation in which, if your input size n, then multiplying a log-n bit number is O(1), but multiplying an n-bit number is O(n). I have no idea how this is well-defined.
I've actually never been certain which thing it meant. I own some very old TVs that glow a sort of metallic gray color. Most TVs from the 70s and 80s have a sharp white-on-black snow pattern. In the 90s you got those weird solid blue screens. All seem like semi-reasonable skies, to me.
Meme as in image macro with top and bottom text? I haven't either, but that's not what the word "meme" has meant until very recently. Meme as in "Hyundai/Yugo are terrible cars" repeated even by people who have never driven one? Very common back in the day before meme meant image macro.

That was kind of my intuition, from what little I know about these things (nerdy culture, but tangential and second-hand at best).

Tangential remark, however, I hope there's room for post-silicon / -electronics technology. We are far from some of the more advanced use-cases of computing (currently "sci-fi" but hard/real science, just hard problems in technology as well), in ways that no cleverness nor cheat (e.g. qbits) could substitute for actual processing capability. I don't know how many orders of magnitudes silicon still has to go, but my impression is that it's relatively limited physically, compared to what could be. But that's a topic for the 2030's and later, probably, hopefully. Here's to the quest for Landauer's limit!
I guess that one of the reasons for this notation is because Bitcoin is not yet a currency in its common sense (e.g., freely used within a country to be exchanges for products and services) but a speculative asset.
Some people are difficult, true. And a lot of leadership also depends on the chemistry between individuals. Some people just don't get along and that's fine, we all think in different way. But you shouldn't take disillusionment with BS as a sign of uncooperation. Sure in some cases you should just cut your losses and move on, but I feel you have to be in touch with reality in all circumstances.

If I, as a manager, would see someone rolling their eyes during a 'c-suite bullcrap' presentation I'd later ask them what's wrong and try to understand their point of view (unless there was an obvious reason). That is the two-way street you talk about, but don't see you strongly conveying. Being open to feedback, even the negative kind, is when you know you can truly trust your leaders.

Based on that you can reasses is there discrepancy between words and actions, or is the person just generally very anti-authority and doesn't like their higher ups no matter what. Either way you build up a rapport and see if you can turn things around in both cases, but if the person is being unreasonable I guess you just should cut your losses.
I still retain and use college knowledge in fields not directly related to my programs of study...
It's not a 0 sum game; it's very possible to have subsided education and meaningful social services; hell you can even deliver on economies of scale and do both academic out reach run by the local school with the intention of preparing applications from high-need communities.

In today's system if you can afford university with no debt you're very well off and it's probably a wash since the funds are coming largely out of your taxes (ie just about everyone that works in US tech and comments on this forum). The biggest winners are middle class families that can prepare their children for college but can't pay for it; but again, helping one group doesn't mean that it's no longer possible to help another group.

I can't see how restricting higher education back to the days when the hyper rich gathered to circle jerk about how much of the classics they've memorized helps in anyway (other than give all of us already educated in the workforce a lovely gate against the next generation).

I like Apt a lot, but it does have some shortcomings.

First, of course, it requires an apt-based distro, so software distributors need to have apt alongside all the other packaging alternatives. Or they just provide a bash script. Ew.

Second, apt doesn't elegantly handle different versions of the same package. That's rarely an issue for well-established C libraries, but it's a big issue for Java and most of the dynamic languages. So you end up with a host of language-specific package managers.

Third, there's stuff beyond simple files that falls outside the wheelhouse of apt. Networking, configuration, whatever. The paradigm for apt is very much to have a small number of systems, manually curated by dedicated sysadmins. When you start scaling up to tens, hundreds, and thousands of hosts, you end up writing and maintaining long scripts to initialize a freshly-installed system and put it in the right state. And those script will break as packages evolve. Getting a system into a known-working state is difficult.

A specific example: I installed and set up GitLab on a Debian system a while back, and it was a huge pain. It's not just a package, after all, it's web code, a couple daemons, a sql db, a redis db, git repos on the filesystem, and more. The install guide was pages and pages long. I never quite got it working right (something about SSL certs, IIRC one of the daemons wasn't using the system CAs?).

So I tried docker for the first time, and had GitLab up and running in about 10 minutes.

And if I ever wanted to migrate to a different host, spin up another node for load balancing, or do backups and restores, you bet your ass I'd use docker.

Apt is great for carefully curated, individual systems. It was perfect for the world circa, say, 2005, and the world would be better of if we'd all standardized on it then. But even if we had, somebody would've invented something like docker in the meantime, for managing complex software (like GitLab) on tens, hundreds, or thousands of hosts.

But docker has all the issues pointed out in the article above, and more besides (every image is hundreds of megs, because it contains a full, running Linux system...that's just crazy).

Nix can do the package management thing that apt does so well, and it can also do the reproduceable, holistic system build thing that Docker does. It can also make management of language dependencies (i.e. Java JARs) much more clean and elegant.

It's seriously worth checking out.
Keep in mind that the reason people homeschool has changed a lot in the past decade. It used to be primarily religious reasons, but there's been a massive uptick of non-religious parents moving to homeschooling to better their child's education and get them out of the toxic school environment.

Unless you're quite young, it's doubtful that you've interacted with many of these next-gen homeschool kids.

"more education" does not equal to college education. Education can take many different forms. It can be career and technology education, internship and apprenticeship, also self-study.

College has an entrance barrier and is very disconnected to the outside world, so it has a strong signal effect.

Also consider this: with four years of college time, you can get two career educations with real life industry experience and come with much less cost.

This is why I precisely used the example of paying monthly rent, because:

1) Paying rent is an example of a repeat payment between two users where you theoretically could have an open Lightning channel, but...

2) Landlords are still going to settle transactions immediately to avoid liability anyways

The "just leave the channel open" is the disingenuous part being projected here. Your landlord isn't going to hold off on cashing your rent check because they want to turn around, endorse it, and use that slip of paper to pay for maintenance. No, the landlord cashes the check the same way that they would immediately settle a lightning transaction.

Now imagine single, non-repeated payments between millions of untrusted parties. You're not going to have millions of "open channels". All those millions of users are going to settle the transactions immediately, which requires Bitcoin's bottleneck.

> If there's a million users making a handful of transactions, well, then lightning needs to settle a few million transactions on Bitcoin (which takes weeks).

Sorry, but you seem to be entirely ignorant of how lightning works. Lightning does not need to settle transactions on Bitcoin. If I pay someone using lightning then that payment is as good as good. The person who received the funds could go on and pay someone further. Notice there was no need to make an on-chain settlement transaction for this to work.

The benefits of alternative cryptocurrencies are faster, cheaper, and potentially anonymous transactions. Bitcoin's use of PoW and limited supply means that transaction fees will always be necessary to provide miners with rewards once all the coins have been mined. In my opinion that is a tradeoff that will cause most people to use BTC as a digital store of value rather than a form of payment. I think that if a cryptocurrency ever becomes widely used for payments, it will be one that uses Proof of Stake/an inflationary supply and can therefore avoid relying on transaction fees.
One thing that I'm always amused with is for some reason or other many of these business jets can fly way higher than commercial planes. Most commercial air traffic don't fly higher than like 41,000 feet.

If you go into any flight tracker app that lets you filter air traffic by altitude, you'll find many of these business jets buzzing around up at 50,000 feet or so. Not sure what regulations (or lack of) lets them fly so much higher than normal commercial aircraft but there you have it....
That may have been the case in the past, but recently there's a trend for non-religious parents to move their kids to homeschooling to better their education and remove them from the toxic socialization that is public school (in the US at least). Many of these parents are well off professionals who can afford to support a family on a single income.
