One of the most interesting things about Gödel's Incompleteness theorem must surely be how _little_ effect it has had on the day to day practice of mathematical research. It's one of the most profound mathematical results in the last 100 years, and yet outside foundational fields like axiomatic set theory (Cohen's work on the Continuum Hypothesis comes to mind) it's quite possible to completely ignore the existence of undecideable statements. Gödel's work had a deep impact on mathematicians' _philosophical_ views of what they do, but that didn't carry down into the actual day to day business of proving theorems.

Isn't that strange? Wouldn't you think that undecidable propositions would be scattered through mathematics and turn up at curious and interesting moments in different fields? But apparently that's not generally the case. The Goldbach conjecture (Knuth) and of course the Riemann Hypothesis have been mentioned as possible candidates (but you might have said the same thing about Fermat's last theorem 30 years ago). If we did find a first-rank conjecture in number theory or some other area that's undecidable in ZFC (or whatever system) then we would at last be stepping through the door that Gödel opened for us.
I'm souring on 1password, for both personal and work (we have it company-wide), based on unexpected pricing and licensing model changes. I really liked being able to buy a version _and have it keep working_. I could get it set up for my parents and nothing significant changed because it wasn't a "SaaS" product. I don't need a subscription for a password manager.

So we're ditching 1password for our family, and are likely to do so for work, too.

That's what I thought too.

Kramnik said "For example, the openings seem to be more complicated in the AlphaZero no-castling games,"

Assuming it is more complicated, I wonder what that means in terms of the number of openings someone will have to learn? I'm going to take a wild guess and say there will be more than standard chess.

I think the limitation you are describing is one of the two aspects of the expression problem[0]:

- with objects you can easily add new types, but it's difficult to add functions (methods) dealing with these types

- with sum types you can easily add new functions, but it's hard to add new variants in the sum type

Is it possible to overcome these limitations? I first read about the expression problem in the excellent post "The Expression Problem and its solutions"[1] on Eli Bendersky's blog (discussed here[2] on HN); as the title suggests it does present interesting ways to "solve" the expression problem.

However he also points out that the chosen solution in a a typical programming language (visitor pattern) quickly becomes unwieldy. The second solution (multimethods) is much nicer to deal with, but requires support from the language.

Typically first time home owners will choose for the longest periods and second ore later buyers will choose shorter terms depending on their income generating capacity and expenses. The other bigger differentiators are whether or not a payment on the principal is required each month and whether or not you get 'NHG', a warranty construct resulting in lower interest.

> truth/falsehood is attached to a proposition by virtue of proving/disproving the proposition.

The thing is, this isn't necessarily the case. "Proving/disproving" a proposition can only be done starting from a set of axioms that are independently thought of as "true". But if you think of, e.g. ZFC as true, you'll also think of Con(ZFC) as true, even though the statement of Con(ZFC) can't be proven from ZFC. Similarly for Con(Con(ZFC)) and many sorts of increasingly-complex "consistency" statements.

The implication in this debate is that the "wrong" candidate only got elected because some voters had bad information and were tricked. Maybe parties need to look at what they are offering voters and what they have actually delivered in the past to get to the root of why people either don't want what they're offering or don't believe it will actually come to pass.

guess what. all other climate changes in earth‘s history happened w/o humans. plants need at least 150ppm co2. they flourish with more. we‘re pumping co2 into green houses to make shit grow.
we are at around 400ppm and had 1200ppm in the past, no problem. now these folks run around headless wanting to lower it further. complete mindlessness.

global average temperature is a joke. the earth‘s climate consists of many, many little subclimates making it so that everywhere you need a different weather forecast that often doesn‘t even hold up.
it‘s a system nobody can actually simulate.

the other question is how do you deal with measurement errors today — and back in the day when they used quicksilver? quicksilver deviates by at least 1 degree. have the scales been correct? was the person reading the temperature looking at the thermometer correctly?

it‘s all bullcrap based on error prone data, nicely „normalized“ and „corrected“ every year because their whishful predictions don‘t work out.

climate „scientists“ are gonna tell you they cannot explain the entire climate system, yet they give you nice animations scaring the heck out of you. and that‘s all there is: scare. you‘ll happily pay ridiculous prices for ridiculous co2 certificates and that revenue goes into private pockets.

i whish everybody would scale back and throw themselves into the topic. but everybody i talk to just shuts down and elects to follow their church.

water and co2 are the most important ingredients for life. nobody is going to die because of it. don‘t let yourselves be fooled.

disclaimer: yeah, i‘m receiving millions from the oil and coal industries. BILLIONS even!

Sure, but why add one more variable to the equation? Eschew additional complexity. As long as I live in a "right to work" state and there is plenty of demand for the kind of work I do, I'd rather deal with companies on a one-to-one basis. If company treats me unfairly, I quit and go somewhere else.

And while the company may not be "on your side", companies are still bound by market forces, on both sides of the equation. You can't compete (for now!) without people, and if you constantly run your best people off by mistreating them, you aren't going to be very successful in the long run.

It's entirely possible for a wage earner to become a millionaire in the USA. Anybody with a middle class income can do it. It's not even complicated or hard to figure out. The problem is that it requires discipline and living under your means.

The first step is to eliminate debt and don't make stupid purchases. Debt includes credit card, personal loans, car loans, and mortgages. Stupid purchases are things like expensive vacations, eating from restaurants all the time, or buying new cars, or buying boats. That sort of thing.

Pretty much: if you buy a brand new car you are a moron if your goal is to increase wealth. You want to do things include living in inexpensive neighborhoods, having secondary sources of income, having no adult 'children' and so on and so forth. Woe is to parents that are still paying for their 20-somethings.

If you go drive around your city and you want to see were "middle-class millionaires" live you need to avoid the 'wealthy' neighborhoods. Look for the 50-something living in a older neighborhood driving older economy cars around.
These people are going to have very low credit scores, as well. The best of them are going to have a credit score of 0, which means no credit history for several years.

Do you calculate the cost of purchases by how many payments can afford in a month? If so you are doing it wrong. Instead you should only ever pay cash. If you don't have money in the bank to pay for it you can't afford it.

The S&P 500 has, historically, provided a 12% return over average 20 year period. If you start off at age 30 and invest 500 dollars a month at that rate it would take you about 26 years to make your first million dollars.

6 years after that would be your 2 million dollar mark. 3 years later would be your 3 million dollar mark. By retirement you would have just under 4 million dollars.

If you make $50k dollars a year then that amounts to about 12% of your income.

You think that is too hard?

The average car payment in the USA is at $550. The average credit card debt is $4,717. At 15% interest and doing minimum payments at $189 that card is going to take 10 years to pay off and $22,869 in total. That means that for every 1 dollar you spend the bank makes 4.

If you can afford to make banks rich you can afford to make yourself rich. Just can't do both at the same time.
I think putting those rules in a standard lib you could include would be awesome. I would then be able to open up the file and see check if it was CPPFLAGS or CXXFLAGS, or whatever, and see how it's written. It'd be way more discover-able, AND it would make make much nicer to teach.

I have tried to teach make, but these implicit rules firing when I'm just trying to do a simple example can mask errors and create a lot of confusion.

Also, not looking at all the VCS versions of the file makes make run much faster, so being modular in what you imported would be a win for bigger systems too.

How unbelievably naive.
Looking back, I did phrase it ambiguously. What I meant was two URLs that are equal by definition, (no matter the server config, assuming standards compliance). A (general) library should make no more assumptions than the standard it implements. What I was asking about were cases, similar to http://h/p?x1=a&x2=b being equal to http://h/p?x2=b&x1=a since query parameter order is defined to not matter.

The spec I am mostly familiar with is, however, rather new, and whatever standard controlled URLs at the time (if any) might have made more assumptions.

Yes, you are correct in that part of the reason for it was to mimic the control forces of older 737's for avoiding the burden of simulator training.

However, you have to look at why it was a manufacturer would take the risk to make such a boneheaded implementation in the first place. Nothing goes into a mass-produced highly complex system without being very carefully thought through. It wasn't some "accident". It was a calculated act of value engineering. On the one hand, someone had wind tunnel results that said there would be a divergence from the old 737 force curves. On the other, you had a pile of solutions capable of fixing the problem, each with varying degrees of cooperation with regulators, time taken, and a price tag attached.

The FAA (if provided with the benefit of a doubt that they aren't covering their asses which I'm not necessarily willing to give given reports from the IG) has signalled that if they'd known what MCAS was, they'd have demanded more intense scrutiny and testing.

There was whistleblower testimony alleged in the 60 Minutes expose on the MAX, that Boeing intentionally engineered the system in such a way as to minimize outside scrutiny of the system (I.e. regulator attention) in order to get development done, and planes out the door.

What this signals is that there was pressure from management to get things done, which meant minimizing external exposure and exploiting every trick they knew to get a rubber stamp out of the regulator.

Now in terms of not being certifiable, I offer a brief bit of Boeing history. The D.P. Davies interview w.r.t the the certification of the 727 by the U.K. CAA. As a well-known test pilot, Davies goes into great detail to describe how the U.K. regulator was very particular about control forces on approach to stall for that aircraft; to the point that the 727 only got conditional airworthyness certification for civil transport via the addition of a stick pusher; a device intended to make it very clear the pilot was approaching a stall.

https://www.aerosociety.com/news/audio-the-d-p-davies-interv...

Some people at Boeing knew, or were in a position to know the behavior they were dealing with was of a type previously uncertifiable. Someone knew that if they could sneak the plane past the FAA, that reciprocity would shield the plane from further scrutiny unless something catastrophic happened.

I don't know who it was, nor do I know whether the paper trail will be enough to bear it out. American management nowadays tends to go out of their way to minimize paper trail and maximize "fill-in-the-blank" style communication to facilitate plausible deniability.

Only sort of related, but one time some of the YouTube engineering team made a code change to kill off usage of Internet Explorer 6 by bypassing the usual code screening process to circumvent management. Their boss reprimanded them but eventually got in on it, without going through the appropriate channels. Then the Docs team saw the banner they showed YouTube users, thought they had actually received approval from management and used it as evidence to convince their managers to implement their own banner (who would have normally refused).

All they received was a small rebuke. In fact, management praised the team for the end result of decimating IE6 usage, as intended.

Then one of the architects of the scheme blogged about it in retrospect years later.

It was a configuration change so there were no dangers adding it, so she being a security engineer isn't relevant. The right punishment would be to tell her what channels she can use to send union messages and tell her to just do security related popups in the future.

Most people in this space want to do SHA-1 which is prohibited so you need a deal with a CA that uses a "pulled root" to do this. That means they told the trust stores this CA root will not comply with the SHA-1 prohibition and so it's untrusted in a modern browser, but IE6 doesn't know that so it trusts the SHA-1 cert. The CA obviously wants actual money for sorting this out for you. In fact I don't even know if this idea ended up successful enough to be commercially available at all.

If you don't do this to get SHA-1 then you're relying on the users somehow having applied enough updates to not need SHA-1 but for some reason insisting on IE6 anyway. That's a narrower set of users. At some point you have to cut your losses.

I would argue that this overlooks the factor of time and compound interest.
Lets say I make 60k a year and am 25 years old. If I am living paycheck to paycheck due to bad choices (partying, eating out, etc.) and then I switch my spending habits and can now live comfortably on that 60k and I can save / invest. Lets say my take home after taxes and health insurance (32% reduction) is $3,400 a month. If I can invest $1,200 a month of that, and assume a safe 7.5% return by the time I retire at 67 I have ~$4 million which is considered wealthy, but not really wealthy.

But yes in the short term the only way to gain wealth is to earn more money.

Edit: This assumes a perfect scenario, 98% of the time, that person making 60k a year ends up on social security barely making it at 67.
