Why does diversity matter? Capitalism is blind. It also scales just fine. Much larger countries also have such care systems.

We need a healthy well-educated population to fuel growth. Anti-capitalists need to get out of the way of fixing our failed American health care system. We pay insanely high costs and get very little. We should provide basic care, like we do basic education, and let free competition for services happen. If we believe that the market can do better for lower costs, then there's nothing to fear from basic government care for everyone. The only people that defend the current system are those for, for some reason, have a vested interest in defending the current brokenness. (And the vested interests are often quite anti free market, as they wish to continue the opaque capture of capital the health care insures and providers currently get away with).

Why is it always America? Well for a start it's not always America, unless you are talking about countries with a particular affinity to it for geographical or historical reasons. Same for other countries. America does get a bit more because we've built an insane propaganda system. Mostly aimed our own population, constantly selling the myth of our exceptionalism to protect various vested interests, with the side effect of that propaganda also spilling over to other countries.

Historically, of course, the US was in a better position purely out of luck. For example, the geographic isolation during WW2 prevented mass destruction of people and infrastructure seen in other continents.
“ For me, this all raises two questions:

Who’s responsible for this infringement?”

Both the company that wrote the algorithm that submitted the request and the company that responded by creating a listing.

“What responsibility do print-on-demand providers have to prevent infringement on their platforms?”

All of it. The company that submitted the request also has all of the responsibility. It doesn’t have to be split between them. They are both 100% responsible.

Gosh. Imagine if SSN included a checksum, and were not just issued sequentially. Instead we get a reminder that all this is really random, and if your soul had been born 50 milliseconds earlier you too could have been rich enough to owe thousands in taxes on a single account.
Sure, but the high school, pop science and TV explanations of relativity and the universe rarely consider anything apart from the two trains travelling toward each other, nearing C, with an observer aboard one train. People can grasp that relatively easily, along with doppler explanations of red shift. Every decent attempt to take a step or two further is to be approved. :)

When tracks start moving as well it gets mind bending, and no longer intuitive. Now we have multiple scenarios where the combination of track movement (universe expansion), and train movement result in it being "obvious" you have to exceed C somewhere, which we're told is impossible. Otherwise how can the distances end up where they are. It's between these two points most non-physicists stop as it starts to feel deeply contradictory.
Whatever the cause of this, personality traits are not evenly distributed. I know it's not necessarily an accurate system, but the MBTI is a consistent way of classifying personalities. The distribution of types varies a lot: https://www.myersbriggs.org/my-mbti-personality-type/my-mbti...

The biggest disparity seems to be between sensing and intuition, where sensing relies more on experience to make inferences, while intuition relies more on abstraction to make inferences.

Whether this is evolutionarily optimal or just a side effect of other forces I don't know.

I'm not sure I get the drama. The beauty of FOSS is that nothing usually stops you from just forking the project and continuing to maintain it the way you see fit. If the original project is dead in the water, people looking for new releases or fixes will find you very soon and will be grateful. Just leave some links in the comments to the issues that you fixed in your fork and people will find it.

I've done this several times and never really bothered to get an "official" redirection from the original project. In most of the cases, Google just picked it up and eventually prioritized my maintained fork over the original zombie, as people posted more and more links to it. A couple of times the original author noticed and shared a quick update of "hey, this dude is maintaining the project now, kudos to him, go to his site for the latest build".

As I recall (and I am pulling from stale memory), we generally concluded that Intel had the more strictly correct behavior. Our numerical algorithms were designed in Julia and we had some pretty rigorous formal models for what they should be producing.

I had a similar experience compiling complex C++ code bases in both GCC and Clang. There were interesting edge cases that cropped up where the compilers apparently had a fundamental disagreement on how to interpret a bit of code. Every time we did deep dive to understand the discrepancy, we came to the conclusion that Clang was probably correct strictly speaking. This still caused us problems and we ended up designing work arounds to support GCC.

More importantly to me (OP of this thread here), and of direct relevance to this story, is the fact that the money in question does belong to somebody. Presumably they want it! So me just doing nothing about it already feels bad.

Bad in an inactive kinda way, but nevertheless, something that I, as a good human, should feel sufficiently bad about to warrant my taking action.
Are you referring to walking away from omelas?

I don't see why people think that story is in anyway interesting or tragic. It's non-sensical, when reality isn't so. It's only deep if you have never read an account of a war or read history or basically know anything about how anything works outside of your suburb.
If you consider the many non-optimal ways a puzzle piece fits into a puzzle, rejection might actually be a blessing in disguise. Stay inspired, it's Stanford's loss. In general, all you need to make connections is a smile and access to a good library.
In a perfectly functioning system there is no concept of an obviously guilty offender because an obviously guilty offender cannot exist, because 'obvious' does not exist.

The only circumstance that holds true is if you get a legit confession. But that confession still has to be fact-checked.

As for the rest, you cannot in any circumstance be obviously guilty unless you were an accomplice to that fact or you were captured after the fact. You would have to read minds to throw away the presumption of innocence, and even in those seemingly obvious circumstances there may be something else going on. So we have the trials.

Plea deals are exactly that - deals between you and the state to go to jail so you might not go to jail longer. They're not doing you a favour, because they have all the authority.
It is awesome, but then my classmates for that course are all students who got admitted to my school (which admits around 7% of applicants to math) so I would expect them to be more engaged and to have better critical thinking skills than the average high school student.

I think the other issue we have (speaking for teachers now) is that you don't get to teach students from K-12, you get them for one or two grades max. I think the reason kids of highly educated parents tend to be better off is because they get the benefit over their entire childhood, rather than teachers who vary a lot from year to year.
> At very least, because they're legally obliged to.

Are you sure about that Intel MKL is also applied to that law? Intel MKL is a propriety software by Intel and its system requirements clearly states that it is Intel 64 and IA-32 only. Do you mean that all propriety software made by the hardware manufacturer should support competitor's hardware as well?
It has a different connotation. For example, almost no CS researchers or professors are "famous" in the traditional sense. Yeah, definitely a few here on HN, but not outside their profession, and certainly not to the general public. Even if you look at "Fortune 500 executives", outside of a small subset of CEOs, they're not "famous."
There are still millions of stock traders, if you're meaning brokers, then yes, automated routing and matching has dropped the number of brokers dramatically. It's estimated around 10% of the volume of trades are still the result of people making decisions, which is actually an incredibly large amount because electronic trades create such an enormous volume that to even make up 10% means a lot of traders are still out there picking stocks.
A Developer’s 1000km Stroll
I saw a talk from one of the founders just earlier this week at a meetup; it's essentially an engine that lets you model agent-based simulations and then multiple frontends that let you design them. He did several demos of their web-based UI, which could model simple things like Conway's Game of Life as well as much more complex things, like a 3D-representation of a thunderstorm in a rain forest. It was really cool!
I meant about how you make 0.00001 per trade is possible. I just didn't want to figure out the 50-51% of trades numbers.
Since everyone is clearly watching this, the problem will occur elsewhere.

Show HN: Vehicle Microservice Framework (Python) – Dashcams and More
https://github.com/jrcichra/smartcar

Hey HN,

This is my first microservices project. It's designed to be an extendable platform for collecting data about your car (and acting on it). It uses a "centralized pub/sub" message queue system I developed. This was designed for a Raspberry Pi, but has support for x86 (minus the RPi specific containers)

I use Redis to manage the state of the car. The microservices currently communicate with TCP JSON payloads.

In its current state, it can record dashcam footage and download it when you get home.

Let me know what you think!
Regulatory capture is a market force.
Not to discount your point, but I want to offer my opinion which is different.

I had fun _because_ it was more constrained. But I also like Go.

As an example, I solved level 6 in what I understand to be an unconventional way:

(spoiler alert)

I realized I could “get out” of readCodesFromKeypad function scope by ending it early and then writing the start of another top level function. Once I had access to global scope, I could add an init() function to modify the “crypto/rand.Reader” variable and assign to it an io.Reader that I could control. I was on mobile so I decided to take a shortcut and just overwrite the global passcode variable instead.

(end spoiler)

I may have “cheated”, but it felt creative and in spirit of the game, and it got me to the next level.
The next question is how do we build as many people with traits like this as possible, and I assume it to be high quality education with a low stress home life. This is something that the US economy is not currently achieving, based on happiness and education metrics.

What should not be learned from this is that there are high caliber people, but instead that these traits call be learned, and I'm certain that there are schools teaching them, but I assume that those are quite foolishly only offered to specific subsets of people here, and that we will see further advancement in other societies as they find solutions to that exact problem by advancing educational practice through scientific experimentation on a national scale.

I thought flash fiction was crazy but found I really enjoy the challenge of keeping a short story to 1K words or less. It meshes nicely with the idea that you can throw out half of what you’ve written and still tell the story well. It took me a while to understand that but it makes sense - at first blush you’re like “but I REALLY need two thousand words to make this story work” and then if you step back and get ruthless with your red marker you’re like “Holy S—t, I can actually do this with half the words.”

We'd also have to take into account media influence. (i.e. Hollywood, which is notoriously one-sided in it's political communications).

Just making money even wouldn't be fair.
Wife and I decided that we were done with the city and lack of space and wanted to travel. Spent the next year downsizing as much as we could while looking for remote first/only companies to make a jump.
Found one of those companies that wasn't necessarily large nor stable and bought a vintage transit bus with the goal of making it at least 6 months to see how it went.
Two and a half years later, we moved on from that company and are traveling slightly different, but the remote first companies and nomad lifestyle are instilled in us.

How to Increase Your App Earning in USA – (USA Apps)
Why America? America because that’s the crux of the article. It’s specifically comparing America to Finland.

Diversity is expensive. Homogenous societies have less conflict and more cooperation than diverse one. This isn’t to say that diversity is a bad thing, but it can be an impediment to cooperation and create a lot of ‘noise’.

Finland due to its geography, weather and possibly language is far less diverse..as is Denmark. NZ is also 5 million people and more diverse than DK or Finland, for example..but it’s far less successful than the more homogenous countries.

OTOH, take Turkmenistan. 5 million..was part of red Soviet Union. Lots of oil. Borderline dictatorship. Or so they say..super isolated. Optimal and fair distribution of resources to citizens seems to be the key to prosperity and well being of nations. Equitable sharing of resources is easier in homogeneous nations.

These are my observations. They are not suggestions. What are your thoughts on the above?
It's easy to criticize the bank because they're clearly in the wrong here. Names and addresses are provided and don't match at all
Why don't we know why it is more expensive to build subways in the US?
I'm assuming you mean than the US. The Netherlands, Hungary, Poland, Malta, Germany and Czech Republic aren't in the EU? Last time I checked they were.

Germany and the Netherlands have some of the highest minimum wages in the world, and yet they have unemployment rates that are lower than the US.

Moreover, your claim was that most of the countries have twice the unemployment rate of the US. Your very own source shows that only 5 of the 28 nations have double or more, and less than half have an unemployment rate 50% greater than the US. Are you going to admit to your lie or are you going to change the story?

> First and foremost, don't worry about not getting into <insert elite college or university>.

Potentially unpopular opinion - one thing I've noticed where you get in is a somewhat good indication of future success, whereas attending is far noisier. I know countless successful people who are included as examples of folks that "succeeded despite going to a non-competitive school" despite the fact that they got into significantly more competitive ones.

(Disclaimer - I didn't get into any elite schools..)
Like Netlogo and GAMA?
Wonder what this guy thinks of Asian schools, where you literally have to dedicate yourself to studying 9 hours a day, 6 days a week, through middle and high school (where you have to dedicate 11+ hours regularly) for one test that literally determines your entire career path, unless you want to move to a different country that is.
As a product manager you should not be asking anyone to build you anything without properly explaining the why. It starts with the why, and a good engineering team will offer how+when. If you get overly involved in the how you'll end up with ignoring that insight and the responsability that comes with it.

Being on both the side of product and engineering, more often than not it's a lack of collaboration and trust between the two that leads to poor products and frustrated engineers. Your last paragraph hints at this.

Poor product insights - some of the most competitive features I've seen make it into a product found themselves there because an engineer decided to build it to fix a pain point of their own (often after having that feature request ignored by product owner)

Humor your engineers and give them creative ownership over a feature (from suggestion to implementation)- you'll be surprised how effortlessly it comes out.

"I should share and be curious about whether my insights on product and strategy are valuable to the team"

Good advice for everyone in the team, wish it was followed unilaterally.
Tables aren't complex, but this particular use can get there. Off the top of my head:

1) Complexity inherent in search criteria: Multiple values per field and whether it's AND or OR. (This can go much much further, as ours does, but I'm limiting it here to what's in the blog post)

2) Centralization of criteria: Multiple tables pretty much means a table per field, which are only related by foreign keys back to the central table.

3) Following on from 2, since there's no central location to identify all the relevant tables, it's much easier to miss one in a JOIN.

4) Following on from 1: Serialization/deserialization, for creating new entries and populating the submission form for an "edit" mode. (At minimum you'll have to reconstruct the multiple-values-per-field situation from the tables)

5) Following on from 3 and 4, alternate uses such as adding a search description derived from the criteria.

There's easy ways around some of this, such as in (4) forcing all the app code to go through the same serialization/deserialization (which sidesteps most of the others), but that's no guarantee that there won't be stray code accessing the tables directly for another reason (hitting on (3)), and almost completely erases the benefit of fitting the criteria into a table relation. It's essentially the same as just using a blob field, except a lot more complicated.

Sometimes blob fields really are the right choice, even in a relational database.
I don't think anybody expects Intel to do anything in that case. What is expected is not to cripple performance when running on competitors CPUs.
couldn't they have done both at the same time though?

I've negotiated deals like this in the past and white labeling products are a great way to go about it.

In the past I've done an $X upfront as the cost to create the white labeled product and then some % of the revenue based on the value that you bring and the time/cost it takes you to do so.

Best suggestion is to think of the numbers that would make you insanely happy, double that, and then use that as your starting point for negotiation.
Hollywood/Spielberg promoted the fantasy that sharks are predatory to humans, where we are more often mistaken for seals and other natural shark prey when out in the water. An acquaintance recently told me he was surfing at Salmon Creek a couple of weeks ago and a great white hit him on the back of his head with a powerful flick of his tail while he was laying prone on his longboard, a wave came along almost immediately after this and took him shore wards (still prone). This was almost certainly a 'seal slap' stun move, sharks don't do anything by accident. My friend then saw another surfer on his way in paddling out who saw the shark silhouette in the wave and headed back to the beach. It's scary but there are very few actual shark bites and kills of humans despite the terror film sell, but it is still a mystery how we can discourage them from the coastal beach waves where they have every right to be.
Despite dolphin's adorable perception by humans you can see them torturing and raping seals in the San Francisco bay, it's a jungle out there...
