> Would anybody go off of physics because Einstein was sexist (and worse), and still (rightly so) lauded as the greatest physicist (perhaps after Newton)?

>It affected his wife I think (she was actually good in math)

Yes, I'm talking about today. Would anybody go off of physics today, because Einstein is still very much lauded (and will probably forever be)?

>Asimov was not successful despite his personal behavior. His personal behavior happened because of his success and escalated with success.

Yes, but I'm dividing the two as the stuff remaining and actually accessible/relevant to people today (the actual work), and stuff where someone to be affected had to be there and present in his private life at the time.

So whether the success drove his personal behavior, the point remains, the public output we have today is the books. We don't care if Marlowe knifed a couple of people when enjoying his plays (in fact, come to think of it, J. S. Bach did too).

> The lauding of great people is often based on lie

After they are dead, the lauding is based on "what's in for us". If there are artifacts from which the future generations benefit, then the "at the time" dealings are not really relevant.

>I think this is nonsense. Of course people take rational decisions about which field they can be reasonably successful in and where they can will be treated badly.

Yes, but not based on what someone dead 30 years ago did 50+ years ago.
As far as I’m concerned beef is reddish organic matter. No cow has to be involved (though they often are).

very little of a writer survives with time; asimov had interesting world building but his characters are a little flat. the surviving great works of literature deal with human beings rather than the world they find themselves in. there is also the problem today of new authors breaking through and having to compete with a giant cannon of golden age sci fi or fantasy, and it can be overwhelming. if you read genre fiction, you could continue to do so for another 20 years and never leave the 20th century. there is a similar problem in literature, but there you get a lot more adventurous readers and experimental writers so novelty is sought out.

the general problem is a massive bloat of amassed and received works. record keeping is almost exhaustive so new books, movies, shows and songs just keep piling up, and the immensity of choices is overwhelming. i wonder how many people are subscribed to dozens of channels on youtube but just never find the time to catch up with more than 2 or 3 videos a day, and their backlog just keep growing and growing.... overcommunication and data creep. i can see a near future where the virtual you goes off and tests entertainment products then comes back and offers recommendations. in a primitive way this is already happening it's just past-you helping make selections for present-you.

it reminds me towards the end of the middle ages, when chroniclers amassed hundreds of manuscripts and began creating world history by condensing it down into something readable and understandable. maybe the essence of the age we live in is that of the neo-chronicler, tools that will reconnect people with the passage of time.
If I’m not mistaken, since politicians usually avoid objective statements — such that they could be construed as truth or lie depending on your point of view — for Facebook to get into the censorship business would be a signal that they aren’t an open platform and they would become liable for any lies or harmful information they missed.

And it’s money: as Zuckerberg said on Capitol Hill, Facebook makes money by selling ads. Specifically, they can charge a premium for targeted ads because they know so damned much about everyone on their platform. Want to blast an ad to promote your campaign to everyone? Standard CPM rates apply. Want to target left-handed hikers who drive a GMC truck, are allergic to penicillin, like Reggae music and NHL hockey? Facebook can give you that list almost instantly but it’s going to cost a LOT more than the standard CPM to run those ads to that group. THIS ability is what makes Facebook so valuable to advertisers and to Facebook shareholders.

For the English landing page, I'd suggest translating from another language into English, rather than from English to Chinese. I assume you built this app for yourself so you can watch technical videos in English with Chinese subtitles to help your understanding. But when you market this to others, you need to show how the product fits the customer's situation, not yours.

I'm not sure about the API key setting. Does it mean that whoever uses your program needs to get their own key for a translation service, which will bill them for their API usage? In that case, you really need to explain this and how to get one. Not everyone knows what an API even is!

However, I think it would be better design to handle the API keys on your end and simply give them a drop-down menu for choosing a provider. You get billed by the provider and then you bill them with a markup.

1 million characters is kind of a lot for a free plan. Who translates so many subtitled videos per month that they'd hit that limit? Only professional subtitlers come to mind, and they might be able to pay a lot more than just $9. If you want to make a profit, you should probably rethink your pricing strategy.

I think you might be able to offer your service to subtitling groups in China, but I'm not sure how much those would be able to pay. (I guess many are hobbyists who don't make any money.) You could try contacting some of them to get a feeling whether they'd find machine translation useful to speed up their work, and how much that'd be worth to them.

EDIT: Found https://1c7.me/subtitle-translation-helper/ Since you're already targeting subtitling groups, I guess you know what you're doing.

How on earth would you take a dead man to court?

And how do you take someone to court for "being an asshole"? If you knew someone who is constantly doing extremely shady things, like screwing over their business partners or repeatedly cheating on their spouses, there's no way to "take someone to court" on those counts. Does that mean their shady dealings should never be exposed?

Something I haven't seen mentioned much is the recent progress in single atom catalysts[1], which is a really cool idea. These seem able to convert CO2 to CO in high yield. This could be one way to start pulling a lot of CO2 out of the air efficiently. CO can then be used fro many chemical processes whether just sequestering carbon or otherwise.

Ask HN: Balancing creativity in your free time while working an analytical job?
I was just comparing the two sites. I'm not saying Geo-Blocked sites should be banned on HN, As I said in another comment, I think the same rule that applies to paywalls should be applied to to sites that geoblock themselves (Not being geoblocked by a goverment which the BBC is in China).

If their are workaround for a paywalled site then its allowed on HN. So if their are workaround for the geoblocking (outline, google cache, archive.today, etc)then I think they should be allowed.

As for how you will know if a sit is blocked, the same way people find out about soft paywalls, the comments will tell you. Its not like a crime to post paywalled sites to HN.
> If you have real-time needs, then GC is probably out. That includes handling audio and video playback.

You'd be surprised. At first our D audio products had GC enabled, and that created very little problems.
When we got rid of the D GC for other reasons (macOS + druntime portability in shared library), we found that we only gain in memory usage. The GC was already "tamed" to happen outside real time threads.
This is described in: https://www.auburnsounds.com/blog/2016-11-10_Running-D-witho...

The conclusion:

> Long story short, we brute-forced our way into having fully @nogc programs, with the runtime left uninitialized.

> As expected this fixed macOS Sierra compatibility. As a bonus Panagement and Graillon are now using 2x less memory, which is nice, but hardly life-changing.

> We found no magical speed enhancement. Speed-wise nothing changed. Not registering threads in callbacks did not bring any meaningful gain. GC pauses were already never happening so disabling the GC did not help.

> In conclusion, it is still our opinion that outside niche requirements, there isn't enough reasons to depart from the D runtime and its GC.

And indeed now we dearly miss the GC...

For sure you wouldn't allocate in tight loops. But the portion of a program that can accomodate a GC is very much larger than is commonly told on the internet.

As for video, it is way less sensitive to scheduler pauses than audio. Video systems are full of allocations (often of commited virtual memory) because throughput is often more important than latency there.

IIUC, you can be a US expat living in the EU and the GDPR still applies.

Even then a non-EU company may not explicitly target a EU audience but EU moral or physical person may still find interest for whatever personal reason and still be protected by GDPR.

As for jurisdiction, I suppose such conflicts are resolved using international law, but if a company is reachable from the EU by individuals protected by EU laws I’m pretty sure there is applicable jurisdiction (not saying it’s an easy thing)

If Asimov was still living, what do you think he would say about younger Asimov?

The Civil Rights Act of 1991 happened the year before he died. There was a big change in the way people saw this behavior between the 80s and now.

How many celebrities, who lived through that era, would now say that behavior is okay? I honestly think had he lived, he'd say he was wrong.
I like AWS, but AWS EFS has the same problem. They've improved it a bit through some recent changes, but it's not much better.

The way it would work: they gave you absolutely pitiful base IOPS credits for EFS and everything else was related to disk space used. So more disk space used (and paid), more IOPS. After that they'd completely detroy your IOPS if you used up all the credits. By destroy I mean IOPS at the level of a HDD from 1995.

I set up a Jenkins using EFS and initially it went well. It barely had any activity and after about 2 weeks it used up all the credits. After that even the login page would take 20 seconds to load.

So, that's who this general was, an Iranian visiting some Iranian country? Was he there to see the fjords?

Anyway, telling me what I would think or say is unacceptable in a civil conversation. If I write something, you can assume I mean it, or you can disengage if you think I'm trolling.

If you're going to take my comments as justifying US actions, perhaps they can be taken that way, but they may apply to retaliation as well, no? Is there much of a gray area with military personnel in Iraq right now, who aren't Iraqis?

> I can write typical data-wrangling code at close to the speed of typing in ruby. In Python it takes forever, and I notice how every fibre of my soul tries to avoid even looking at it, much less enjoying and wanting to learn.

See I can say the same thing in reverse. I suspect it's just frustrating that once you know one of the two well, the other just dosen't do enough different to be worth learning as much. They have plenty of differences in the specifics but they're incredible similar in the domains they shine in. Similarly between Java and C#.

Add to that the fact that Python is now so established and used so many domains that the package availability that it attracts so many more people as a first language.

That said, I do do have reasons I prefer python, though I doubt they're solely why it "won". Idiomatic Python is just much clearer and more straight forward for most. They explicitly spent time to minimize how many language concepts and constructs you need to get basic things done. Compare:

some_list.each do |this_item|
puts this_time
end

for this_item in some_list:
print(this_time)

The syntax/grammar are often more regular, use keywords and fewer symbols, and optional bits. Python went through a heavy monkey-patching phase (that's all but rejected now) but never went full blown DSL-style like Ruby. I'd say they both gained popularity being fun to write languages but Python stayed a but more balanced in readability.

There's no doubt that e-cigarettes are better than normal cigarettes. There's also no doubt that e-cigarettes are worse than no cigarettes.

However that doesn't answer the question whether they're an improvement. For that you need to look at what people who use e-cigs would do otherwise. And then it gets really complicated, because you really don't know and can only make estimates. That's why this is a question difficult to answer.

These types of file-managers are called 'Orthodox file managers'. [1]

In answer to your question of which was the first, the answer appears to be PathMinder (1984) and Norton Commander (1986). Both were for DOS so it seems to be an original innovation from the DOS world. Directory Opus first came out in 1990.

I wasn't familiar with PathMinder before looking at the wikipedia article but I was familiar with Norton Commander, as I think nearly everyone who used DOS in the late 80s would be. I personally favoured XTree (1985) more. Xtree didn't originally have the two pane view, but added it in 1989.

That sounds like exactly like AWS though doesn't it? EFS iops scale with data size allocation.
Moore's law (1965) was that number of transistors per single chip doubles every year. The revised law (1975) is that it doubles every two years.

You can achieve that by increasing chip area, increasing density. In the near future also stacking transistor on the same chip over each other.

Packaging multiple chips into one is not part of the Moore's law. AMD gets better yield by quitting the race and it seems to be real end of Moore's law. Density increase is still going on but it can't keep Moore's law going.

Just putting more and more chips in package would be stupid measure for Moore's law.

There is only a limited amount of time available to me. I can only consume so much media. If I have a choice between two books, one written by someone with a tainted legacy and one written by someone without a tainted legacy, I'm going to pick the book with a nice author.

Of course you can't really apply ceteris parabus to books, but normally you have to decide what you're going to read on limited information, two very different books might seem close enough given you know little about either. When you choose what to read you reduce all the context and comparison to a decision. "author was a creep" definitely makes me less likely to want to read his work, especially if they are still alive and could personally profit.
Sorry to go off on one irrelevant point but I feel it is highly important to say this at every opportunity: states don't have rights. It is an absurdity and a mockery of human rights to claim such a concept and legitimize fiefdoms over real people. So called rights in their case would be entitlement to powers for power's sake.

Anyway to get to your main body I agree and note what makes the scale bad ultimately is abuse potential for it. For a fantastic example being able to look up details of everyone but only 500 years or more ago wouldn't be abusable for instance because everyone is long dead and it wouldn't be viable to try to change ownership based on it because it already diverged for several generations. Even if you could backtrace they couldn't be reconciled very effectively.
That's interesting. I worked in a supermarket as a student (in the UK) and was told when I asked (because I like to ask these sorts of questions) that here in the UK, the retailer is not obligated to honour the implied contract.

Essentially, if the price is wrong on the shelf, they can simply choose not to sell you the item if you refuse the correct price. In reality, larger stores won't want to upset a customer and generally will honour a lower price. It's more likely to happen when buying a loaf of bread than when buying a TV, or a car for example.

How do you suggest projects like games handle this, where data files are naturally linked to source files? Imagine trying to sort out an animation bug when you only have source level tracking and no idea which version of the animation data corresponds to the animation source files of the bug report. These data files are not 'built' from the 'build' step as they are the product of artists.
PD-(L)1 inhibitors are a special class though and help the immune system in becoming sensitive to tumor cells and start killing them around the body. Other MAbs like Bevacizumab (an angiogenesis inhibitor, prevents formation of new blood vessels) or Herceptin (Trastuzumab, targets the HER2 membrane protein often over-expressed in certain types of breast cancer) have been on the market for much longer and fall under so called "targeted treatments". The targeted drugs hardly ever lead to a cure, whereas the new immune drugs may even cure people from metastasized cancer (in 30 to 60% of cases in some tumor types). Be aware that the side effects of the new immune drugs may also be severe and mimic auto-immune disease-like symptoms, essentially you are forcing your immune system into higher gear (higher sensitivity, less specificity).
