That's apparent to the guy you're responding to. He's pointing out that the so-called "unclassified" is actually the class "non-secret". A truly "unclassified" object would not have gone through the process of classification. It would not have a class.

Of course in English this is fairly common. The object of price zero is said to have no price. Yet clearly it has a price, it is just zero.

I have to say that's an amusing observation and sort of reveals the type errors that occur when we model real world things in type systems.
They clearly failed at that.

But I have to agree with the general theme of what you're saying--HR will always try to suppress the victim.
Note that self-reported numbers like that tend to be biased towards those who are optimizing for time or are more experienced.
If you are going to get smarmy with “Understand where you work before opening your mouth, people ;)”

There were a few, but they ultimately got shut down. I think a few times due to legal issues. If anyone is planning to do something, please be careful of what name you use.
I'll bite. I don't see any problem with the copying itself. Indeed that's what the Internet Archive does, and I don't see anything wrong with that.

There only relevant problem I see here would be if they attributed the text to themselves, which is an entirely separate issue.
Ah I see, fair enough.
It's more densely populated because it has the highest concentration of habitable land.

Siberia to the north from there is not inhabited so densely because it has -50°C in the winter and +50°C in the summer.

Western Europe, US northeast, etc are also rather densely populated, but are smaller, with less-popuated areas, or with oceans.
You do not have to be proven to be guilty beyond reasonable doubt to be arrested. That happens after arrest and before prison. Someone who is falsely arrested or whose works are wrongly taken down by DMCA can sue in civil court. The remedy is exactly the same in both cases.
For others looking for Factorio-like games, I highly highly recommend Satisfactory.
That NYT article is an example of someone basically failing at learning a language, to put it quite bluntly. Learning a language as an adult entails hard work for years and years.

Living in France will not teach you French, besides "survival French" and probably "minimal conversational French". Even having a French partner won't help at all, unless you both commit to speaking French (and then your partner is put into a weird position where they're your partner but have to constantly correct you)...

Acquiring Superior/Distinguished [0] level vocabulary basically entails dense vocabulary study, daily. And then putting it into practice with usage and recognition (i.e. reading French books). Anything else is far too slow.

> When I try to tell a story in French, I sense that the listener wants to flee.

The hardest part of learning any language is just accepting that you're going to make mistakes. Maybe French people are more snobbish about French (I have no idea) but generally speaking... people understand that you're taking the time and effort to learn and speak their language.

I know people who have lived in Korea for 5, 8, 10 years and are frankly still terrible at it. Some of these people own businesses there! Having a bilingual Korean partner is probably the worst thing that I noticed, because you end up always speaking the language that's more convenient, i.e. English.

I think this the major cause of speedup. Now that NodeJS supports WorkerThreads, it can be done in parallel. Along with this if right choice of data structures used there is no need to depend upon writing a build manager in another language instead of host language.

Also, as of today JS(V8) performance is getting closer to Go runtime.

They will pay, and for big famous pieces of art like GoT they'll pay lots of money, but even then it will be off by an order of magnitude of the production budget, not even calculating the marketing budgets needed to keep that fanbase.
The last three years of being a parent have left me disenchanted with experts. I don't believe they have any idea what they're talking about and don't think they're capable of converting their research into practical advice that does good.

I watched first hand the harm that was done by the medical community obsessing over "breast feeding is best and formula feeding is basically admission of failure." That experience left me so untrusting that the medical community isn't just on their n'th generation of, "everyone before us had it wrong, our advice is finally the right advice."

Do you know what damage you can do when you convert some study, full of error bars and reproducibility concerns into a blanket statement? You fuck with struggling parents who just need a few hours of their evening to be quiet so that they can do chores and maybe watch an episode of Netflix. Not everyone has the luxury of a stay-at-home mom or plenty of free time or money to throw at problems like meals and transportation. You pile onto that barely-getting-by-near-crisis-where-alcohol-at-night-sounds-like-a-great-idea yet another negative factor: you get to feel like a shitty parent about the screen-based remedy that works.

It ticks me off that this junk ends up on social media because it undermines the things that _actually_ have a real lasting effect on raising children. Build lifestyle habits that enable you to be happy, sleep well, and spend time with your kids. Even if that means hours of tablet time on weeknights or a quick to make meal that isn't the healthiest.

I blame this ass-backwards non-holistic look modern medicine likes to take on problems like these. They did the study on breast vs. bottle feeding and found real measurable results (I do indeed believe the results are valid), but they never found a way to quantify what practical harm they cause to parents who get judgy nurses and a birthing room full of "Breast is Best" posters, who eventually spend nights weeping over their inability to feed their child, constantly feeling like they're a failed parent because they used formula or a tablet.

So !@#$ you Parentology. With these articles you're doing a kind of harm that you're systemically incapable of measuring. I hope people much smarter and more articulate than me take up this banner.
> 'Instead, he's written an opinion piece masquerading as science, by using a variety of supportive quotes and excerpts to build a general case that cancer is big business, that there's a kind-of dark nefarious industry behind it all, and that people who work in this area are complicit in hurting patients with cancer. (It feels one step away from a conspiracy theory.)'

Conspiracies aren't theories. They're crimes.

Where did Adolf Hitler learn eugenics from? The USA. You think all of the eugenicist just died off, or somehow lost interest in exterminating people?

Your incredulity says nothing about the likelyhood of this being true, and everything about your own profound, typically American naivete.
Great read! When you first hear the taxicab number story, your initial impression is to be struck by Ramanujan's innate calculating capability. It's interesting to find out that the real coincidence here is that Hardy rode in a taxicab whose number had happened to show up in Ramanujan's investigations of Fermat's last theorem.
So maybe 22k usd or less? Curious what that amount is
I've been reading similar anecdotes lately trying to gauge whether I could reach B1 in a Romance language in a few months of study.

What I've found is a lot of pessimism about how well Duolingo teaches you a language, with many arguing it's a waste of time altogether.

I'm surprised that could be the case though. They have data from millions of language learners processing through their lessons, and looking at their making-of blog (https://making.duolingo.com), the product seems data-driven. They do A/B testing to see the efficacy of new features they roll out. Aside from that, they combine reading, writing, speaking, and listening exercises, and have made some innovative features like chat bots. One language tree includes a few thousand words.

If anything, I would expect Duolingo to be vastly more effective than other methods.
I misread it as 12 minutes, and got really alert for a moment imagining some spooky mind-altering procedures.

Damned age of velocity.
It isn't nearly as effective. I've done both - I was an exchange student to Germany, (Landed with 1 year of US highschool German, maybe 150 words.), and was thinking in German in about 10 months. (I was also 17/18 years old, which makes a huge difference.) For the last few months, I've been trying to get more functional than my "taqueria Spanish", and have shifted to listening/watching mostly Spanish-language media.

It helps, but is nowhere nearly as effective as not being able to escape it. In Germany, I remember going to bed exhausted with a headache quite a bit for a period of months, roughly the phase from when I was barely functional to when I was able to take part in class in non-stupid ways.

Watching TV for a couple hours is nothing like that.
My data should not be considered normal. I have a six year-old who goes to sleep at around 10pm and wakes up at 7:30am. Sometimes later than 10pm. She's been doing this for at least a year. When younger, she wasn't a napper. Extreme attitude if she goes to bed after 11pm, but bed time between 9pm-10pm yields a fairly consistent mood for the day. If left in a dark room by herself at 8pm, she'll be awake for at least an hour. Now we just let herself read herself to sleep.

The four-year-old and two-year-old go to bed at 8:30pm and wake up 7am. They have stronger negative responses to going to bed later.

The 6-year-old reads by herself for a couple hours a day? And is read to for about an hour. I would guess she's in front of a screen for two hours per day. Maybe more when she dives into BrainPop or something.
Questions aside, I honestly thought the steps to submit a new question was satire...

Yeah, and it is a very informative article. I just wanted to see him slingin’ that French. :)
It's OK because it's their computer and the electrons in their machine didn't become yours when the became configured so as to represent different words.

In the same fashion if I write your words on my paper with my pen the common sense ownership of pen and paper doesn't change.

Copyright is an invented right drawn from nothing that derived its legitimacy solely from utility derived from paying for creativity.

Turns out that we are already rich enough as a society to pay for a decent life for everyone and most of the money sticks to the hands of greedy people with lumps of coal for souls and zero creativity.

The kind of morons who would try to take down a dictionary.
A better question: why would you trust a company like Facebook with your private data?

To my mind, if you post something to a social network, and twice as much to Facebook, you should only post stuff which you won't mind posted openly on every wall in your town.

Their A/B testing probably isn't testing education efficacy, but retention and actions that lead to payment/miscellaneous business goals.
Do you happen to be from Quebec? I'm Canadian by birth and have wanted recently to learn Quebecois French, but have struggled with finding practical resources (as everyone seems to agree most French resources and learning programs are going to give you a rather half-baked understanding of Quebecois French).
Ah, live demos are hard :P

There's no shame in trying, and no shame in pivoting after a cost/benefit analysis, and sticking with Windows.

In contrast, North Korea maintains its own Linux distro (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Star_OS#Version_4.0) and has for ten to twenty years, probably because they can't trust any proprietary software and they're not tied to Windows-happy U.S. DoD, and I would rather live in South Korea and use Windows than live in North Korea and use Linux.
>How the tables have turned.

Well, people are also still clearly sharing pirated media, so I guess the only people who consistently benefit are the lawyers.
It's not exactly SK trusted Microsoft. Rather, some idiots had this brilliant idea that if you create a piece of code that hooks directly into Windows kernel and messes around with device drivers, your users will be secure, because how would those evil hackers run keyloggers when your security plugin already hijacked keyboard events.

So far so good, but then how do you disseminate this wonderful piece of security technology? By creating an ActiveX plugin and make every user download and install it before they can use your website. And since those pesky new versions of Windows will keep warning "This program may harm your computer, continue?", we just have to tell users to click "OK".

But what if users are trained to always click OK and accidentally stumbles upon a fishing website? Stupid dummy users, they shouldn't have done that! If they accidentally went to a fishing website, downloaded a bad security plugin, and uploaded all their banking credentials, it's their fault!

IIRC Microsoft practically begged South Korea to please stop using ActiveX, it was never a great technology and it outlived its usefulness a long time ago, could we please move on?

Edit: As far as I remember, real fun started when you needed to access two banking websites. Now their security plugins start to fight each other!
We rig the game when the kids are in school, and brainwash them even further when they get to college. Most of the internships my college promotes are actually illegal, and they keep bringing this recruiter around who keeps trying to tell us that we deserve minimum wage when we get out and that he'll just find someone else if any of us have a problem with that.

I guess I should clarify that all of the anti-worker propaganda I've been fed at college has been in the comp/sci and botany departments. Havent tried other tracks, but those are the ones where they really try to tell us that our education isnt valuable.
In the realm of note taking and personal knowledge management apps, I've been shopping around recently.

Notion is very popular, and Roam Research [0] has been the popular scrappy upstart that people have been looking at, but I've been unhappy with these since neither has an API (and neither are open source.)

I would _strongly_ urge HN readers to take a look at Tiddlywiki [1]. It's popped up on Hacker News before, and I wrote it off, but I've been taking a closer look recently and its _incredibly_ powerful, as well as completely customizable and open source. It runs off of a micro-kernel architecture, so the core application itself is implemented in code that you can change, edit, and manage just like you would do with your own notes. It's really easy to get started (it's a self contained HTML file) but seems so have some robust saving and backup functionality.

Please please give it a look if you're looking at tools in this space. I've already started using it and I'm _very_ happy with it.

I'm not sure I agree with you. But I'll give you this -- that I've thought the same thing before and I'd be interested in seeing more people experiment with systems around that idea.

To expand on that, Kickstarter is a platform where you get people to give you money so you can make something in the future, which is... fine. But it's more of a bootstrapping platform than anything else, and it suffers from that. Kickstarter exploits people FOMO, but it's hampered by the inherent risk that the thing you're funding might never exist.

I'm working on independent games right now. I haven't chosen to Kickstart them, for a lot of reasons. What I would be curious to do is to pick maybe a smaller title, completely finish it, and then put it on Kickstarter for the full amount of money I wanted to get out of it -- not just to fund it, but including my target returns. The game would be done, it would be reviewable by press, once it got funded I would just immediately put it as a free download. But I wouldn't release it until people pledged enough money to make it worth my while -- meaning not just cost of production, but revenue. In theory, exploiting FOMO but with none of the risks that the game won't be finished or that it'll turn out terrible.

I've gone back and forth about the negatives there. It would be way more expensive than an average Kickstarter goal. You have to decide up-front how much money your game is going to make. And you're still fighting against the fact that fans can just say, "well, someone else should fund it." I'm not sure it's actually a feasible model in practice. But I'm really curious to see how the patron model could evolve; just not curious enough to experiment with bigger games where I need them to do well financially.

I am not a copyright abolitionist. I am really interested in seeing alternative models develop, even interested enough that I might experiment in those areas in the future, but I think that there needs to be more working examples of those models before I'm willing to jump ship on copyright.
Right. And tobacco smoking has been heavily demonized while the decreasing number of smokers are consigned to shiver in the cold at least 100' feet away from civilization when doing their dirty deed, yet somehow lung cancer keeps on increasing. Funny that.
Apple wasn't leveraged back then, like we're used to companies being now, like, say, Tesla is. I think this is the disconnect between common assumptions and the way it really was.

> the more enjoyable a tool is to use, the more likely you are to use it

That's why I often use a tablet and stylus for anything I intend to keep. I enjoy using the gear. I like having pens and markers created exactly how I like them and they never run out. I like being able to make my paper as big as I want it to be. Sometimes I want blank paper, sometimes dot grid, sometimes lines, etc... and I can have them all in the same notebook. I like that my handwriting is recognized and I can search it. It's great being able to paste in an image that I capture with the camera or find on the web. It's nice being able to move a paragraph to make space for something I forgot.

I don't have trouble with Slack or email because they aren't installed. No notifications are allowed on the tablet, except for OS-related ones (ie an update is available).

That said, I do still use a paper and pen all the time as well. I like paper and pen in meetings to capture and then after the meeting I format and transfer the notes to my digital system. I like pen and paper when I'm on the phone because I like scribbling and doodling as I talk.

Basically the divide comes down to what is ephemeral and what I want to keep. Anything that needs to last has to be digital for me.
This is relatable!

What can I do about this?

1) search for alternatives (e.g another app, not always applicable)
2) report the issue. Contribute if open source.
3) maximize your chillness: learn stoicism, meditation, ASMR, music, social interactions, problem solving etc in order to better cope with your cynicism intake.
4) change humans/society, e.g by improving education or any other hard task (can be in intersection with effective altruism goals)
5) suffer.

This is mostly a disjonction of cases of what you can do about this :}

A lot of genius stories are like this. I was also under the illusion that these guys could just do things that fast, but at some point, I read Feynman's biography where he explicitly talks about how he used to solve homework problems or something beforehand and then he used to pretend that he found the solution while solving it if his classmates asked.

That threw me for a loop and I started believing shit like no one's smarter than I was etc. Then I just ... grew up, I guess. And I remembered this story by Feynman and I realised that despite his absolutely undoubtable genius, he'd have appeared godlike to me if I was his classmate back in the day.

Ramanujan's brain worked even faster by most accounts. He dreamed in math, I think. So there are multiple stories where people ask him a puzzle and he'll answer with an equation that solves it for the entire family of problems that the puzzle could come from.
Is that your reason for not sharing it, like the individuals it mentions did not?
