The Georgia Tech program is half the cost of this, is it not? Plus, it's a CS degree from an institution that's known for its CS department. That's likely to carry more weight among employers hiring in AI/ML roles than a "Machine Learning" degree. Those kinds of programs aren't as mature as CS ones and it sort of puts them in the same category as stuff like Udacity's Nanodegree in "[hot tech topic].

I know Imperial College is a well-regarded and selective institution, but I think the point still stands.

To me, that is the real threat - false positives. myopic reliance on the database, and an assumption the computer is always correct.
The advantage for the retailer is that pricing is now "soft" and can be changed as often as desired for any of a number of reasons, including sales, promotions, A/B pricing tests, etc.
Isn't the true for other industries as well though, not just farming?
Why does population need to constantly increase? Or, posit that this is true: Then what?
In addition to other mentioned reasons, farm work is also extremely seasonal.
> OTOH, the actual engineers see through all the external signaling, which I've also discovered :) :P Or rather, the external signaling can work in the opposite direction with engineers.

I think it's important to disambiguate the two. People often believe themselves to be the former, when they have frequently fallen into the trap of the latter. Adopting counter-cultural signaling is not the same as being above signaling, but it's an easy thing to confuse.

Especially when confusing the two is a sop to the ego.
It's not entirely besides the point. If neither Japan nor Germany were likely to ever pose an existential threat to the United States, then there would be no "eventual difficulties to the Bill of Rights" to worry about.
It takes one exceptionally dedicated team of super-arsonists to burn a million hectares of cold wet forest. Such a thing has never occurred in history.

Weather patterns (hot and dry summer) create the conditions for a fire, an arsonist merely provides the ignition source. In the right conditions a single errant spark from a power tool can set off a giant bushfire. Or an arsonist with a single match.
Interesting that they want to explore medical devices, “sleep services”, and sleep supplements. Guess they are marketing themselves as the Amazon of sleep? Because right now all I know about them is that they sell overpriced mattresses

If you read the piece OP linked (I highly recommend it, it is outstanding), or the whole book, the entire point is a warning about the looming threat of WW2, and his idea of the 3 practical steps to keep the USA out of it. So he was indeed very much against the US involvement in WW2. That's the main point of the book.
Ask HN: Favorite Command Line Tools?
Hey,

I've recently switched to Linux and after being amazed by power of command line tools like grep and awk I want to know more!

I already found ripgrep [1] and fzf [2] but there must be a lot other awesome tools like these.

man, that is incredibly f*cked.
Exactly.

I don't think it's really the popular platforms' fault though. Simply what has happened is that the internet has dramatically lowered the cost of distributing and of consuming information. Therefore, information gets distributed and consumed that would not have been worth the cost in the past.

I dislike this kind of cheap generalization which only look skin deep and don't even try to find common behavior between genders.

Young men spend about an 2 hours on games per day, and the numbers for young women is much lower. Young women however spend about 2 hours more on their phones per day more than men. Something seems very similar here if we look at the two activities together rather then in isolation.

I would instead ask what gendered benefit men get from gaming, and women from doing social activities on their phones, and I would guess the answer has something to do with inter-gender competition and status.
It's not uncommon for potential acquirers to feign interest in a purchase so they can derail your business for months while your competition (their actual investments) pull ahead.
The Void experiences do a pretty good job of this, with a mix of physical props/effects like switches and heat fans and hand and body tracking. Another fun one is the skyscraper plank at VR Zone Shinjuku, complete with wobbling and a prop cat. VR Star Park is worth a look too.

I'm really impressed by the work done by Encode and Tom Christie. IMO it feels like httpx is set to be the go-to http client in the near future.

A friend wrote respx https://github.com/lundberg/respx which is a utility to mock HTTP requests made by httpx. It works similar to the requests mocking library responses https://github.com/getsentry/responses
This the sort of question economists study, and reading their output may be more informative than forum comments. Keyword is "declining labor force participation rate."
I blame the bloat.

In some high-level languages even BSD sockets (and many other POSIX functions) aren't in the standard library, and there are various wrappers to provide "ease of use" and integration with a language's runtime system; plenty of complexity (and alternatives) even at that point.

RFC 2616 (HTTP/1.1, 1999) may seem manageable, but it's much more than just posting data and getting a response, and IME many programmers working with HTTP aren't familiar with all of its functionality. Then add TLS with SNI, cookies, CORS, WebSocket protocol, various authentication methods, try to wrap it into a nice API in a given language and not introduce too many bugs, and it's rather far from trivial. But that's just HTTP/1.1 with common[ly expected] extensions.

Edit: Though I think it'd also be controversial to add support for particular higher-level protocols into standard libraries of general-purpose languages, even if it was easy to implement and to come up with a nice API.
It's really hard to know what's a good price for a mattress. You might buy 1 per decade, people forget what the experience or price was like. I spent a lot of time researching then gave up and went to a "mattress outlet" laid on a few, then got one for around $400. I sleep fine, probably better than I ever have.

There's also so much info on springs, foam, latex, rubber, on and on. It's overwhelming. Casper has good marketing and make it easy, and since it's so hard to compare, they just need to be close to other prices. They don't need to go full walmart

> from a revenue perspective a wealth tax seems fantastic

Amusingly, the current manifesto re wealth inequality, Capital in the Twenty-First Century, pointed out that confiscatory taxes on the rich would be pointless re a revenue perspective. It turns out there are so few rich (e.g. the 1%) that even if you take all their money, it doesn't really dent our large government expenditures spent on the majority.

E.g. if the top tax rate went up to 70%, that would only be an extra 320 billion, which is only half medicare.
Most of my vehicles have been able to do more than 100 mph on the highway, but I don't know how useful that actually is. There's just very few times it is reasonable and prudent to drive that fast in California.

I find it very strange in the logic of these Google employees. A censored Google in China will still be miles better than the next alternative, Baidu. Wouldn't it be true that a better search engine will keep people better informed, for which people will have better chance of improving their lives, even their political systems?

And now Google employees, with their all righteousness, are claiming that Chinese people don't deserve a much better product, because they need to suffer for these employees' political ideal? If this is not hypocrisy, I don't know what is.
A lot of them are on disability or in jail.
Maybe I'm missing something, but this seems like it would get unwieldy very quickly for anything more serious than toy examples.

Even the toy examples I'm having trouble following along with.

The benefit of code-as-text is that you can navigate the text without knowing what you are looking for.

This seems to take the opposite approach of making it very easy to look things up assuming you know ahead of time what you are looking for.

That is something that a good usage of grep or some more sophisticated IDE integration will already take care of for you.

The only thing I could see this being potentially useful for is "notebook" style computation, where you are really only using the language to do things like structured math calculations.

What am I missing here?

Luckily you don't need logic when you can just throw money at lobbying. Sadly, this is incredibly effective in the US today.
The average worker is 5x more productive than they were 30 years ago, but wages have been basically flat.

In the last 10 years, the federal minimum wage has not risen, effectively reducing the minimum wage by about $1 due to inflation.

The richest 500 people in the world grew their wealth by $1.2 trillion in 2019, a 25% increase over a period of one year.

The minority build their wealth on the labor and taxes of the majority, but sure, adjusting the tax code is "stealing".

It would be useful if the web-site had a real case-study where they show all the features in action. Right now it looks like vaporware -- like one of those sites people put up to see if there is interest in an idea.

And perhaps stuff like this should have on-site capability for enterprises that don't use github, gitlab and such?
I'm all for having more IPO's (my job is actually advocating for policies that make it easier/cheaper for companies to go public) - but maybe this isn't the best comparison to make: "While this [# of IPOs in 2019] was an increase from the past few years, it was half the number of twenty years ago, while the Dot Com Bubble was forming."
Reading the other posts on the site, I have to assume it's satire.

The agility can only be done with a fine tunning of weight vs power. Mazda Miata sacrifices pure power, and thus max speed, to get "fun". If you add weight to a car you get more inertia, killing the handling and the fun.

This is know since forever. Read the history of Karajan and his Porsche. He wanted a fun and sporty car tailored to him, but he didn't ask for more power. He requested less weight, and they even removed the radio, the back seats and the door handlers to get there.

The only way to get the cornering and fun of the ICE Miata is to get a EV Miata that weights about the same. Then get the 50%/50% weight distribution (this is easy with EV) and there you go.
Note that while this wasn't widely known in the West at the time and therefore cannot be their justification for going to war against Hitler, Nazi Germany's "Generalplan Ost" [0] (their "General Plan for the East", a plan of global genocide so vast it defies belief) called for the almost total extermination of the populations of most Slavic countries, Russia and Poland included. If I remember correctly, the quota for Poland was 80% Poles -- and note I say Poles, not Jewish Poles -- to be exterminated.

So on the one hand, Cold War Poland ended up a puppet of the Soviets. Repression of dissidents, etc. But the Poles were alive. On the other hand, had Nazi Germany won and completed their plan there would be no Poles left to complain about their lack of freedom.

So was WWII really a mistake?

Email especially. I work with 10 different countries, and programmers from England respond differently to my word choices than programmers from China, Japan, Holland, or India.

I agree building a company just for the sake of building a company is as arbitrary and meaningless of an Ithaca as it is to want to work for say Google. However contributing in a meaningful way to improving the world is a noble pursuit and we need more people doing that not less. Whether we are already at max-capacity of useful contributing people is another question. Maybe the type of person who can build frontends for Google AdWords doesn't have the skills necessary to do something better and should be content providing a service and taking care of their family.

Everybody has to find their own path I guess. Also 99.99% of people don't care about improving the world and the world gets by just fine on its own. Or does it (global warming, war, etc.)? Who knows, who cares.
If I had to take a guess I'd say almost not at all. For example, Twitch only has 27,000 streamers with the Partner status, and only a fraction of them make a living off of it. There's enough to be a cultural phenomena but not significantly change the workforce.

> What are men doing if not working? On disability? Homeless? Retiring earlier?

The article claims:

> ... close to 100% of working-age men used to participate in back in the 1950s. Now that figure is 89%, and had been falling up until 2014. Economists cite multiple reasons: lower demand and wages for unskilled uneducated workers, retiring baby boomers, and an opioid crisis that disproportionately affects men.

A memory foam mattress for $400? That's a very good deal.

The only Casper product I have is a dog bed and it's great.
I'm pretty sure self-employed people count towards those numbers, unless they're making hobby-level income.

What's your theory, though? I don't follow what exactly you're getting at? Which gender is supposedly better at those endeavors? Are there a ton of men trying to be successful online entrepreneurs and not making any money so they don't get counted in the workforce stats?
Purely anecdotal, but some men I know who haven't started families* are coasting along and are less aggressive to seek career opportunities. Uber, part-time work, etc. Why put your nose to the grindstone if you don't need to provide anymore?

*either by choice or because they don't live up to society's standards (e.g. hypergamy)

I got my favorite mattress ever from Amazon and it cost like $350 for a (firm) queen foam mattress, box spring, and frame.

Casper (or someone writing about them) once wrote a blog post about how they got into the mattress business because they saw unnecessarily huge margins and direct to consumer opportunity. Now they are opening physical stores and not even charging much differently from regular mattresses. I’m just going to keep buying cheap Chinese mattresses that don’t spend hundreds of dollars per purchase on advertising

This is why people make fun of "Woke" folks... They are not 'woke' they just read some Tim Ferris book like everyone else.
It seems that they already saturated their Direct to Consumer channel and all their growth is now dependent on their wholesale efforts. It seems risky to me, especially with a slow-cycle business like mattresses. Also what happens if retailers create their own premium brands and/or secure exclusivity deals with other manufacturers?
In any large US city you need an electronic toll pass for bridges and etc. or get billed by license plate. So tracking is in place already.

Really tired of the lazy trend in journalism where you find 2-3 "eccentric" software developers and label their lifestyle as a SV trend.
I understand that completely. Feeling good about yourself for sticking it to the man doesn't support a family.
I guess its because many people think that they need to sleep well in this hectic times and cannot allow themselves tu cut cost on a mattress. Expensive = good quality. Turns out this is nonsense - we have a foundation in germany that does independend product tests for all varieties of things and came to the conclusion that the best mattress they ever tested was some 200€ mattress.
I would assume if someone did gap analysis they would factor that in. It isn't about the wholistic are women making more or less than men. Rather it's the equality of are women who are the same role of men making the same. There shouldn't be a difference there.
$1100+tax is more than double what you'd pay at Ikea, Amazon, Costco, etc.

I thought the promise of all these direct-to-consumer products was to pass savings onto the consumer because they are vertically integrated and cut out scammy middle men.

Seems like all that's happened is they just keep fat margins for themselves.

GDP is a bad metric. It mostly measures how "good" you are at tracking wealth. Much of value in society is not captured by GDP.

I was raised by parents who loved me a lot and did a pretty good job raising me. Had they been delinquent and raised me poorly, value would have been lost, but the GDP would have been none the wiser.
Some people in the Python community were recently looking into this very thing... and the results were surprising.

From https://talkpython.fm/episodes/show/243/python-on-windows-is...

"over 50% of all developers programming in Python do so on Windows."

Maybe the researcher is right, maybe they aren't. There is no solid way to tell. But there are a lot of developers out there in big, old school corporate environments. All running Windows.
Do you think US is moving towards Japan? I.e. a significant population of herbivore men (60%?) that get no benefit from associating with women, losing this motivational signal and dropping out of society?
I may have a story saved on an old sd card somewhere.. but I think it was Italian? A major crime was solved by pattern matching DNA to a close relative, which brought about a few people in the town who's DNA was 90(?)% similar or something.. they did find the killer/rapist whatever they were looking for..

but the process of investigating and questioning led investigators, family members, and through rumor / whispering and news articles to discover that one of the grandparents (of a well known family) had cheated and birthed a love child that was assumed to be of whatever family name.. and then they had kids - and they all had positions in the town.. but now the truth was known that none of those grand kids, their families, etc were actually part of the whatever-family-name dynasty.

A whole group of people and a town and some industries changed forever because dna is similar (and much dna is not as well) - and the use of this technique roping in and affecting others that had nothing to do with alleged crime - certainly can have other real world consequences.
I think a lot of it is whether you consider the price (whatever it is) to be reasonable. I am willing to spend $1000 on something I spend literally half my life on top of.

I would say the concentration of Czech/Slovak people around .NET at MS is a result of accidents and networking. I got into the team thanks to a friend of a friend who heard I was interested. But yeah, it's a surprising number given the size of the population of Slovakia and Czech republic.

There's a newly opened .NET development center in Prague so the number is likely going to grow (they do hire from all over the world though): https://karelz.github.io/hiring_prague_net/.
I share your perception of what .COM, .NET, and .ORG stood for. And, to answer your question, i have no relation to the Cocos islands...further, if I were somehow negatively impacting the inhabitants of said region, i would have never obtained the domain name. (I'm not that kind of person.) Besides, the domain name was for my personal/family email only, that's it - not any commercial entity or network service, etc. - there was no .FAMILY (or similar tld) back then.

Nevertheless, to clarify why i had obtained a domain name using that tld...While yes, .CC was originally (and for a very short period) intended for the Cocos islands, it quickly shifted focus (by those same owners of the NIC/registry that controlled the TLD) and was promoted for international registration; in fact the marketing i saw pushed it as the next .COM for computer hobbyists, etc. And, I wasn't the only one who bought that line; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.cc#Usage
