Hm. Do you think that the expressiveness of the language you’re working in doesn’t actually influence the scale of what one person can build with it?

Or that mainstream languages already have the maximum expressive power and these are just lateral moves?
Allowing insiders to shepherd tickets is a ticking legal time bomb for these companies.

Given how bad their dispute resolution is, and the huge dollar value of getting your account back in an emergency, insider support channels are highly valuable.

If I were in an AG's office I'd find a case of quid pro quo and research a bribery suit. These companies operate internationally, so there are FCPA implications as well

I'm not faulting you for your expectations, please see my other comment for thought on that. The problem is that even expecting that is more free labor. Sure it's small, and courteous, but is labor. Speaking from experience, I go through weird phases where I want to hide from the world. I know things suffer for it, but it's me. And even writing a short note to let people know is not on my radar as something I care about.

I hope you don't take my comments as combative, I'm trying to speak from experience. I also learned of Mr. Gallant from being on the Go code review lists. I also noticed he seemed to "switch" to Rust. With that knowledge, anything I used heavily I would fork. If one day the two can reconcile, great. If not, congratulations, you own it until you get tired of it and someone else forks it. Such is the nature of open source!
And now I miss Windows Phone 7 with its hyper-consisten and unforgiving design language. A white box was text. A blue box is a button. Black background is just display. Those are all the colors. You don't get to reinvent any wheels.

What Spinoza shows is that, given a set of noncontroversial axioms, free will is essentially undefined. E.g., if you take an action, it is either caused by you, someone/something else, or chance, reasonable assumption? For free will, we would say the action is caused by you. Okay, then why did you take that action? Because of the person you are at that time. Why are you that person? Something at time t-1 made you that person. Either that thing was you, something else, or chance. For the original action at time t to be caused by you, who you are at time t also has to be caused by you, meaning the action at time t-1 that made you who you are also has to be caused by you.

If we follow this recursion far backwards enough, we eventually get to the point where you were a baby, incapable of making your own decisions. This shows that any causal chain can ultimately be traced backwards to something outside "your" control. In which case, how can one sensibly assign responsibility to yourself?

Perhaps another abstract way to put it: Spinoza shows that God creating some kind of free will that made actions unpredictable to him is equivalent to the idea of God creating a rock so heavy that he himself cannot lift; it's incompatible with the idea of omnipotence. Undefined in the sense that the set of all sets that are not members of themselves is undefined.
Sort of. But, the most egregious form of entitlement is low-effort.

Whereas "the account has too many prominent repositories to accept contributions to in a reliable manner" lowers trust (which the burntsushi post also discusses).

It's as fair to say "I don't trust the project because it isn't maintained" as it is to say "the code is free, the maintainer's time is not". - I think this is exasperated by that "just fork it" works in a small sense for one or two patches; but there's a communal inertia that complicates it in a larger sense.
> For me personally, this is an area where I struggle the most. My emotions get the best of me, because all I can think is: why didn't this person take the time to read and fill out the issue template? Or, in cases where bugs are user errors that could be resolved by just reading the documentation, all I can think of is: I spent this time gifting this user some software, but they can't even read the README before filing a bug report?

This resonates so much. Users who blatantly waste your time despite multiple cues steering them towards actionable bug reports are worse then trolls or haters IMO. (I use issue templates, with all caps and explosive emojis, and I even put specific actionable wiki links in error messages, but some people still insist on opening barebones “doesn’t work” bug reports. Or duplicates. People open duplicates when there are like three open issues in total and one is clearly the same issue as theirs. What the hell?)

With trolls or haters you can simply drop the ban hammer, easy. With this kind of high-maintenance users, it’s hard to decide whether you should waste time helping them, or simply refuse action until they get their act together.

> It can be maddening. But that's emotions for you. They certainly aren't always rational. The documentation could probably be clearer. Or the user could have just missed that part of the documentation. Or the user doesn't have experience maintaining FOSS projects or filing bug reports and maybe does not know how to provide an easy reproduction. These are all perfectly reasonable things to have happen, and it's why I do my best not to let my emotions get the best of me. While the way I feel is important, empathizing with the person on the other end of the wire is important too.

Honestly it’s hard to empathize with users who can’t follow “run command with --debug, post entire output” or who don’t bother to read anything when the error message clearly says “here’s a wiki article for your specific error, read it before reporting a bug”.
Does anyone know what LLVM does that breaks for long functions? Is the optimization pass doing something quadratic in the number of basic blocks in the function?

To play devil's advocate slightly, you could pretty easily argue that self-driving tech is most useful to apply to the lower-safety brackets, which pull down that average.

So even if it's not as good as the healthy-and-wealthy bracket that might be safer, if it's better than the average then it'd be potentially significantly better than the non-healthy-and-wealthy. In that light this seems like a massive win.

I have absolutely no knowledge of quantum mechanics beyond a pop-sci understanding, and I've only briefly skimmed the abstract and intro of the paper, but my impression is that it doesn't override this. Rather the direction of significance runs the other way; we now have strict limits on what kind of things in "quantum magic" are computable.

Also note that this result still ultimately involves oracles with unlimited computational power (it does not construct these oracles). The interesting part is that these oracles are potentially malicious and can lie and it is the verifier's job to come up with a strategy to play an interactive game with these oracles to tease out the real answer (with a high probability of correctness).
I'm familiar with them, sure. But to assume something like this is broken rather than simply a color choice would, to me, be a strange and usually wrong assumption. Given that we've all (well, most of us) been on the web for 20-some years now, and noticed that web designers, for better or worse, often stray from defaults and choose different colors.

More often than they put a form field with all the fields disabled.

I'd certainly try typing into it before I emailed customer support.

Incidently, on that codepen, the background colors of the disabled and non-disabled elements are identical, to my eyes. The only difference is in the border color. (and the behavior when clicked on)

I'm still unclear about this, should this be done by the typing system
or by an external static verifier:

simple inductive proofs to show
that as you initialize
another element and add 1 to
the counter

If the latter, you can already do this with Rust as it is, it's just a
question of building such a static verifier. If the former, I really
doubt that this can fit in Rust's typing system without major
surgery. We know well how to add arithmetic to typing systems, but the
natural approach to doing so (dependent types) will probably make
type-checking / -inference undecidable.
> You can consume arbitrary data using a program written in a statically typed or dynamically typed language.

Really? Okay, below is something that meets the definition of "arbitrary data". Can some static program process it and evoke its full meaning without the programmer having to develop an ad-hoc dynamic typing system?

It is a bug worth fixing if that thing is going O(n^2) for some reason.

Fantasy-future: Mozilla could "widen out" their library and hire 20,000 librarians to curate the "New Web" in a non-wiki-format. If you paid each librarian about $150K/annum, that's about $0.60/annum from 5B subscribers, just for their salaries for the advertising-free library.

Not sure about Australia, but I know how the EU warranty works. It is not the manufacturer who is responsible, but the seller. So for example Apple offers 90 days warranty on purchases from third party stores and 2 years on purchases from Apple stores. In the case of Amazon, they have to offer 2 years on all items “sold by Amazon”.
Ask HN: I don't want to be a worker any more I want to be a professional

India’ Leading Food Delivery Platform Zomato Raises US$150M from Ant Financial
I happen to have almost all of his ufology books including "Passport to Magonia" and you're right that he covers those subjects, but he doesn't claim it's a collective psyche phenomenon. Instead he argues that it has elements of this but guided by an external control system, which is itself part of some, for lack of a better word coming to my mind right now, extradimensional intelligence (he never makes this specific word use) that manipulates human beliefs by manifesting entities in a way that corresponds with the more general belief tendencies of any era. Thus, in ancient times, what we now call UFOs manifested as "fairy folk" and such while today the tendency is more towards temporarily physical apparitions that are made up to be "aliens", presumably because it fits better with the psychological tendencies of our current technological, space-exploring civilization. His core point though is that in both cases, we're really seeing the same extremely ancient phenomenon recur in different guises. Many nuts and bolts UFOlogists really dug into Vallee's ideas because of this, but to me at least, it actually makes a lot more sense than UFO's being aliens in the classical Hollywood, scifi sense of the word. Their behavior makes no discernible sense in that context.

This is weird. The exact sentence in the article is:

> Pursuant to state law, no officers of the City, whether elected or appointed, financially interested in any contract made by them in their official capacity.

That's not a complete sentence. It either needs something inserter before "financially" or after "capacity".

Thinking the article just misquoted, I looked at copy of the Charter that is shown in the embedded viewer later in the article...but that's got the same incomplete sentence.

Searching for that section online, I found a PDS copy at sandiego.gov [1]. In that, the sentence is complete with "shall be" in front of "financially":

> Pursuant to state law, no officers of the City, whether elected or appointed, shall be financially interested in any contract made by them in their official capacity.

Yes, it was a typo. I meant to say Russia.
No there is still no path to constructing such an oracle. The paper basically presents a result built off of a less trustworthy oracle (or set of oracles) that can potentially lie, but that still has unlimited computational power.
In fairness, I did buy a phone directly from Google, and when it died recently, I did get actual support, at least someone to chat with who gave me an RMA. Perhaps I should have asked her my gmail questions.
Going against your, and parents, commentary, this is a semi-accurate description of how I used to see myself:

"I'd rather be right than popular, and I usually am".

But I mostly wasn't convincing, whether I was right or wrong. And that's what I'm continually working on. Being convincing is arguably more important than being right in the first place. And to be convincing you need to know your topic from a number of angles, and you need to know the audience you're playing to. But you also need to know whose worthy of convincing, because there are some (plenty) that won't be convinced either way, so don't waste your time on them - know a lost cause so as to avoid committing self-denial-of-service.

How to be immune to SEO? Easy once see how.

More details are in my now old HN post at

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12404641

For a short answer, SEO has to do with keywords. My startup has nothing to do with keywords or even the English language at all. In particular, I'm not parsing the English language or any natural language; I'm not using natural language understanding techniques. In particular, my Web pages are so just dirt simple to use (user interface and user experience) that a child of 8 or so who knows no English should be able to learn to use the site in about 15 minutes of experimenting and about three minutes of watching someone use the site, e.g., via a YouTube video clip of screen captures. E.g., lots of kids of about that age get good with some video games without much or any use of English.

E.g., how are you and your spouse going to use keywords to look for an art print to hang on the wall over your living room?

Keyword search essentially assumes (1) you know what you want, (2) know that it exists, and (3) have keywords that accurately characterize it. That's the case, and commonly works great, for a lot of search, enough for a Google, Bing, and more in, IIRC, Russia and China. Also it long worked for the subject index of an old library card catalog.

But as in the post I replied to, it doesn't work very well when trying to go "deep".

Really, what people want is content with some meaning they have at least roughly in mind, e.g., a print that fits their artistic taste, sense of style, etc., for over the living room sofa. Well, it turns out there's some advanced pure math, not widely known, and still less widely really understood, for that.

Yes I encountered a LOT of obstacles since I wrote that post. The work is just fine; the obstacles were elsewhere. E.g., most recently I moved. But I'm getting the obstacles out of the way and getting back to the real work.
I am not sure the title is correct:

* The word "hormone" does not appear in the article

* In the WP article about "chaperome" there is no mention of "hormone".

My understanding is that the article is about a concept a bit similar, but more operational than the concept of protein networks. And it is about networks of chaperomes, which are themself sets of chaperones.

Chaperones are very powerful proteins that shape the proteins produced in the cell nucleus, in order to give them some specific function.

Protein networks are very conceptual entities, that for example could hardly be tested with some reagent.
Here on contrary they could test for existence of epichaperomes.

The authors found that Alzheimer disease could be thought as a disease of epichaperomes. To me it makes sense, as most neurodegenerative diseases are known to be proteopathies: Diseases linked to misshaped and mislocated proteins.

They hypothesized that epichaperomes reagents will enable easy diagnostic of such diseases.
There is an unmet need for neurodegenerative diseases biomarkers, as currently they can only be detected when it is too late to make a clinical intervention, and when even the classification of a patient in some disease type is difficult leading diagnostic by exclusion, which is only way to say: I do not know what disease makes patient ill.

Trusted biomarkers in neurodegenerative diseases would change life of doctors and patients.
