That's precisely the subtlety I'm talking about, in which additive inverses and real numbers less than 0 can both be referred to as 'negatives', and that the operation of taking additive inverses and real numbers less than 0 both use the symbol '-'.

It's pretty standard, though, that a 'negative number' is one that is less than 0, and a 'positive number' is one that is greater than 0, where a 'number' is an element of some subring of the reals.
The tl;dr: Health security theater catches about half of cases. Wouldn't the prudent step be to globally announce a two-week quarantine of all arriving passengers? In other words, not a total shutdown but slowing to prevent spread rather than foolishly squeeze out some short-term, imaginary economic gains. It may not be at all popular, but it would be the moral and ethical thing to do.

Yeah, see, these can't both be true at the same time.

What's happened is that the bay area is an attractive place to live and stick around...except that the insane housing costs mean that people can't really afford it unless they live the college student lifestyle indefinitely. So that one single issue effs up the whole thing.

Ah, like Zume for french fries! In fact this would give something for Zume to do with their abandoned robotic pizza delivery trucks. Just replace the ovens with deep fryers.

And if Zume doesn't pick up on this, Softbank Vision Fund will be sure to invest.

I don’t think you are looking at full picture. Nash equilibrium just means any lower margins would be unsustainable.

In the case of mattresses, while gross margin is higher than other industries, the volume is MUCH lower. So the overall profit is likely lower than you may guess.

That said I also think mattresses are not quite that rock bottom. because people shop so infrequently and the purchase is important, they’re likely to look to authority sources for guidance on which to get which can include friends, articles, and advertising. In advertising there’s an intuitive promise that if a company can afford to advertise than they must be doing well enough so the quality must be ok. Now we all rationally know that’s not necessarily true but it’s one reason imho why advertising works. So there’s room for branding and feature differentiation exhibit A Casper.

I'd like to have a broad view of how many lispers working with one.

the few I know:

- scheme had a coma period due to specs issues (scheme small and large standard)

- commonlisp .. no idea but it seems quicklisp is enough for anybody to work, and there are many libs. Maybe not java/python levels .. but many. It's just out of the radar.

There are many different ways of looking at quantum mechanics, so here is one way of answering your confusion. Probably the standard way of looking at quantum mechanics right now is quantum field theory. In quantum field theory, you give up the notion of "particles" and instead view them as vibrations in fields. Once you do that, it makes more sense that these "particles" can turn into other particles, be absorbed or emitted by other particles, or split.

Beta Launch: Piece – A platform for buying shares in rental properties
Hey HN,

As millenial real estate investors, we were frustrated by how difficult it has become to purchase rental property in cities like SF where prices have skyrocketed. The next best approach we thought was to explore investment homes in other cities.

We spent the next few months learning how to buy rental properties remotely, consulting books, tax laws, agents and investors to understand how to maximize our returns. At the same time, we found we weren’t the only ones who had an interest in buying quality, but affordable real estate.

In order to help save people both time and money, we built Piece ( trypiece.com ), a platform where people can hold shares for as low as $500 across different rental properties and start receiving rental income instantly.

These are the key benefits of buying shares from us:
Entirely Passive: You don’t have to invest any time at all to your investment and the process is totally hands-off. We handle everything including finding tenants and property management.
Liquidity: After a 3 to 6 month holding period, you can freely sell shares back to us or others.
Ability to choose specific homes: We give people the freedom and ability to choose specific homes in a given market.
Ownership growth: You get the benefits of a mortgage without taking the risk of a loan. For e.g., if you initially own 4% out the 40% down payment in a home, over time your shares will grow as the principal is paid down.
High Cash Flow returns: We spent a lot of time trying to find high yield properties to maximize our cash returns.
Tax Deductions: You can deduct items like property depreciation from your taxable income each year.

If you’re interested in participating in our beta, please check out our site and reserve shares in one of our homes: trypiece.com. We’re also eager to learn more from the HN community about any feedback they have or past experiences in buying investment properties. Happy to also answer any questions directly at sushanthraman@gmail.com
> the vacuum we know is meta-stable

It's not fully known if this is the case or not. If the standard model is accurate (which is a big if) then it's probably metastable but there is some still room for debate. See page 52 of https://arxiv.org/pdf/1707.08124.pdf
I had a chat with Neil Jenkins and Bron about this (two of the authors & WG chairs). That skew is intentional - their rationale is that there's way more email clients out there than email server implementations. So it makes sense to load more of the complexity into the servers.

Of course, until other email servers add support for jmap, the protocol has a bit of a bootstrapping problem. Getting support from gmail + microsoft exchange would be a huge win for jmap, and in the long run email as a whole.
Many of the observed effects at least distantly remind me of the known effects of exercise.

I wonder if there's an intersection, e.g. without adjusting your eating habits, exercise results in an effectively calorie-restricted diet?

If there is no intersection, I wonder which is more valuable than the other? Not much exercise is going to be happening on a starvation diet.
I've found that the Oculus Quest is not perfectly comfortable for multiple hours of uninterrupted use while gaming, but I've not tried it for sitting at a desk coding. YMMV, I would wager that moving around while playing requires it to be tighter, and therefore makes it less comfortable.

The Quest might be the best one to test for travel though; it's relatively cheap, has fairly good resolution, and though it normally works as a standalone system, you can also tether it over USB3 to your main machine's graphics card:

If sky god sends us food from the heavens then we are not doomed. Anyone saying we are doomed is clearly making claims without any support because we know there is at least one path that is not doomed!

We are essentially doomed, because we have an economy geared around infinite expansion. No level of Pigovian taxation is going to suppress that. Taxes will lead to the house-for-every-family, bedroom-for-every-person, and tv-in-every-room lifestyles being unattainable and then people start rioting.

To produce food sustainably we need to find sources for phosphates other than mining. To produce anything out of metal we need to find sources of metals other than mining. We can’t keep going on the assumption that Earth’s crust has limitless supplies of resources, because we need that land to live on and grow food.

As for the politics required to get Pigovian taxes accepted, it’s very easy to run negative campaigns to scare people such as the Murdoch campaign during the Gillard Government in Australia telling people that the carbon pricing scheme was going to make a lamb roast cost $100, and that people wouldn’t be able to afford to turn on the air conditioning in Summer.

They're not mutually exclusive. Google's search and advertising cash cow is so profitable, the company grows despite its boneheaded mistakes in so many other areas. If you read the article, every single developer mentioned they have no trust in Google not canning the service, and who can blame them? At this point, it's becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.
> Dart overlaps in goals almost completely with Typescript

As I see it, that's not all that true.

Now, it's true, that it's non-native use competes with TypeScript in domain and shares some implementation method details in that domain (e.g., both are languages that rely on compilation to JS in the web domain), but the goals clearly aren't the same. TypeScript's goals are basically limited to static typing and source compatibility with modern JavaScript (that is, it is an goal to be a typed superset of JS.)

Dart has a wide array of different goals, including being a typed replacement for JS that is not limited in its other goals by being source-compatible with JS.

Epic's entry into the game storefront business has been a drama filled shit-show. It has not been well received by very vocal swaths of the gaming community. In fact, their strategy of buying out developers for exclusivity rights is one of the reasons they've drawn so much ire.

See the controversy where Borderlands games were getting review bombed on Steam, because Epic secured exclusivity rights for Borderlands 3.

https://kotaku.com/borderlands-is-getting-review-bombed-on-s...

In the gaming world, you're basically damned if you do, damned if you don't. If Google had aggressively gone for exclusives, they'd be getting the same backlash that Epic has gotten/is getting. But since they didn't they might be getting an equal but opposite sort of backlash now.

You have to skip over a lot of chemistry to say baguettes are the same as chips. I’m not convinced food is all about macronutrients.

> because CO2 levels can otherwise get unacceptably high overnight

I got a CO2 sensor recently, and I'm surprised how much of a difference small changes can make. One of my rooms was hitting 1600-1800ppm overnight (which as I understand it is not a problem per se but not great) with the door open about 2in/5cm - leaving the internal door open an extra 6in/15cm or so means it rarely goes above about 700ppm (generally hovers around 600).

I'm also surprised at how quickly it'll go up - that same room will go from 800ppm to 1600ppm with the door shut in well under an hour.
Anecdotal, but as a hiring manager I can't remember the last time I cared that a candidate had an industry certification. It's not even a positive signal, it's zero signal in either direction.
> But a few months back, I switched to a single 43" UHD TV instead. I get more screen real estate that I did before

No you didn’t. If you switched from 2x 24” 4Ks to a single 43” 4K, you have half the real estate you used to, you’re just zoomed in on it.

To avoid confusing inches as a useful metric for how much information can be shown on screens at once, monitors should be measured in megapixels.

Problem’s even worse with “ultrawides” that are generally significantly lower dpi than their 4K siblings, so 1/2 to 1/4 the megapixels compared to dual 4Ks.

Cost aside, it just complicates your workplace and makes your success dependent on the continued performance of other companies. What if slack pushes an update that everyone in your office hates, or shuts down as a company one day? In the words of Bane, it would be extremely painful, for you.

However, if you were old school and used IRC, you would have 40 years of documentation to help you solve any issues, and you probably won't have very much issues to begin with since people have been publicly using the protocol for 40 years and improving the experience. Plus it would be free and you wouldn't be dependent on anyone but yourselves staying in business.

"from python2 import {__some_old_feature__}" could go a long way toward easing the transition.

Disclaimer: I spent a lot of time converting things from python2 to python3. It's a big pain.

Pet peeve: don't break compatibility for ideological reasons. For example, the print statement didn't need to die: it could have lived on as needed side-by-side with the print() function.
To add to your question: does spec help here?
Interesting. Here in Australia the red light cameras only trigger upon entering the intersection - if you’re already in the intersection then that’s fine. I wonder what the solution they’ll implement will be?
Yeah, agreed. But sharing the answers is exactly what is needed in companies/organisations. I've worked in companies where people hoard data and solutions to problems because it gives them power/influence/job-security.

As for tracking commits, if the metric becomes a goal it becomes useless. People will game the system to have more commits, or worse, write a bot to break up their contributions into as many commits as they can get away with.

One line can indeed be worth more than 100 if the line fixes helps fix some production bug. The biggest issue I have is people fixing things and not documenting the fix.

Our metric of "success" for our shared knowledge is how many people outside of our company/org find our stuff useful. But this is not always possible in secretive or highly competitive industries.

"Racism and bigotry against LGBT folks is less common than it once was, but it's still prevalent".

"prevalent"? Like how? I think you are making up. Still exist? Definitely yes. Prevalent? No way. Unless you have a very different kind sense of "prevalent".

Actually people in small towns in general are much nicer than big cities and usually they don't care about your skin color or whatever. And they in general appreciate "a slight countercultural bent", unless you have a different sense of "slight".
Australia did this in 2008, part of the reason we avoided a recession. Parts of China have started doing the same for coronavirus.
Surely the opinions of visitors are more important when looking to visit somewhere.

Clojure is functional to the core and innovates a lot of areas, while other Lisps are more multi-paradigm and slant towards an OOP style. If you want to work universally with persistent data structures in your code and the libraries you use, Clojure is really the only option. Clojure also modernises Lisp syntax slightly (and a bit controversially) by getting rid of lots of parentheses and introducing new styles of parens for the core built-in data structures: ( ) [ ] { } #{ }. There's a bunch of other stuff, but really, Clojure is significantly different from other lisps.

The Rationale page on clojure.org has a pretty good rundown: https://clojure.org/about/rationale
I believe you've confirmed mpoteat's fears are well founded. Thanks for doing that for me ;) Here's your upboat.
Any good literal search algorithm could do a one-off search for a single long literal 'needle' way faster than the roughly 1GB/s that the author attained with grep.

A single string of that length is extremely easy to search for with a range of different algorithms - I would be surprised if a decent approach couldn't keep up with memory bandwidth (assuming your 22GB file is already, somehow, in memory). The mechanics of simply reading such a big file are likely to dominate in practice.

We implemented some SIMD approaches in https://github.com/intel/hyperscan that would probably work pretty well (effectively a 2-char search followed by a quick confirm) for this case.

Of course, that begs the question - presupposing that any kind of whole-text search is actually the answer to this question. The end result - assuming that you really do have more than a few searches to do - of keeping the results in any kind of prebuilt structure - is way superior to an ad hoc literal search.

Unless you are rejecting it on puritan reasons, in which case I'll agree with the other commenters that there's a nonsexual interpretation too.
waste of money!
that last line is what my point is. Stepping stones and prerequisites are part of many career progressions - actually quite the norm.

I used to work with Glade all day everyday for my day job in 2002-2004... I ended up doing a lot of the development in the xml files generated by the Glade UI.... Later as I was integrating Gecko into our desktop app to display help content I came to the realization that XUL and then HTML was equivalent just had more developers focused on it... So today I still view native app development from the sense that HTML is just a markup language for describing UI... and a lot of very talented engineers spend everyday from multiple organizations fixing bugs and improving the UX/UI performance and stability... making HTML the best (IMO) native app development environment... Of course, I still love exposing C++ components into my UI but the need is far less than in 2002-4...

I'll miss the old gtk.org... spent countless hours on that site... the gnome c interfaces will always be near to my heart... Love the new design though that looks great.

I'll give you the answer I gave to myself and my apple-loving friends since 2015, grab yourself a dell(the xps ones are really nice, but I like a cheap laptop, so I went with a latitude e7280), then hackintosh it. It's a bit buggy, but that's better than having a company which is all but cooperative with repairs, constantly abuses human rights and makes laptops which break easily.

> Also I bet there's someone unethical who's right now going through all Redis hosting services trying to repro this and get some data.

There are basically people doing this continuously in a loop. Open up port 3306 and watch people trying to connect to your MySQL instance with common passwords. IPv4 addresses are easily enumerable and the bad guys already thought of everything. (I put a real MySQL there once; they deleted all the tables and created a new one asking for bitcoin to get them back.)

I know MySQL is not Redis but the same principle applies; someone is scanning you for open services right now.
