They don't do it in a mechanical way attempting to maximize recall.

It's another thing to try to stuff absolutely every bit of information you've encountered in your head with lots of effort.

From reading HN I get a feeling (could be wrong feeling) that western society is always obsessed with something (or perhaps every society, but it's easier to notice this from the outside).

If it's money - you need to grab all the money you can get. If it's time - you are obliged to do something productive every second of your waking hours. And you must also find a way to sleep much less than 7-8 hours in order to maximize "productive" time.

Now you must also remember every bit of information you've seen.

It feels creepy and definitely doesn't feels sane thing to do.

What if I earned all the money in the world? What does it change?

What if I do something "productive" every second of my life? I would probably hate such life.

What's the point of trying to remember every detail from the book about telegraph history and ancient philosophy?..

This obsession feels really weird to me.
The dividend is not particularly large as far as basic income goes, but it's an inflation-proof setup. The principal is currently somewhere around $67b. With about 700k residents in AK, that's about $90k per citizen.

Now that the annual oil revenue has declined, there's debate every year about what to do with that principal. AK has been cutting services the last few years, even though we have almost $70b in the bank.
I've heard this as an argument for GC being faster/using less memory in some cases than manual memory management. You can asynchronously return memory to the OS in a separate thread. Boehm GC in particular is really easy to link into an app and use instead of malloc and friends.

You've hit the nail on the head - means testing is the killer of any social program. Means testing makes social programs challenging to access and frustrating to use, leading to them being unpopular and unsuccessful.
>Right now there are explicit subsidies for housing and healthcare. If they get replaced with a UBI in the same amount

Good luck with that. UBI is barely tolerated by the left and progressives but only under the constraint that it doesn't replace any existing social welfare programs. The minute UBI advocates start pushing it as a replacement is the minute that progressives will squash it.
Why do they have to? I have that drive, but my wife is perfectly happy with a calm, comfortable, stress-free life. And in fact it helps to bring me back down to Earth sometimes also.

There's nothing wrong with wanting a life that free. In fact it's oftentimes admirable. Especially at times when I'm wound so tight I feel like I could pop.

If you're choosing a partner based solely on whether they want to be the next Elon Musk or not, you're doing yourself a serious disservice.

And if you really ask those questions to every potential date, you should stop, because dude, wtf?
Not just humans, bit even the tiniest of insects are capable of navigating with ease in complex environments at a speed and adaptability we are not even close to match. I'm pretty sure that having the raw intelligence of an ant brain in a mars rover would expand our exploration capabilities by several order of magnitudes.
Ask HN: Ideas to solve big problems, without getting into politics?
Without running for office, without getting into politics, without organizing mass rallies etc (nothing against these, they have their place), what can an ordinary person with no money/clout like me do to help chip away at huge problems like climate change, housing etc?
So we've accepted that we're never going to find life on Mars, and that there's no concern of "contamination"? Or is this just a big plan to build a city in the first bit of "unspoilt" wilderness we can find off planet?
The wealthy will always have the edge, regardless how you deal with privacy, thats what the definition of wealthy. Wealthy = more power/resource.

What I'm saying is, you can't solve privacy issue by hiding information. That is not feasible, as technology progresses, its become easier and easier for information to move.

I acknowledge that there are going to be issue due to our information being public and thats what we should fix instead of trying to hide the information.

Right now it is an issue if my ssn or credit card number become public. The fix should not be by making my ssn or credit card number stay hidden. We should fix it so that even if my ssn or credit card number become public it would not cause me harm.

Another example, right now it is an issue if I post something embarrassing on twitter. The fix should not by deleting/hiding my tweet. We should fix it so that even if my tweet become viral it would not cause me harm.
I just...can’t relate to living this way. Maybe you have to be a special type of person, but this whole lifestyle just seems exhausting and over-managed.
This is very misleading reporting. First: All studies so far show a pretty consistent ~10% work disincentive. This is what all the detractors say when they say it disincentivizes work. So how about this one? From actually reading the study's conclusion:

> Slightly less than one-fifth were employed before but unemployed during the pilot (17%)

So even worse than what we've seen so far. 17% dropping out of the labor market when its a short-term study is huge.

For the ~10% figure, Chris Stucchio has a fairly succinct roundup of the work disincentive of other studies so far: https://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2019/basic_income_reduces...

~~~

Personal opinion: If you consider multi-generational entrenchments of poverty as its own problem, worth serious merit, then the work disincentive could be a disaster. In UBI long run, the children of parents who have never worked are probably going to be at a large disadvantage. I think its already a problem today for children of SSI recipient parents (even compared to children of SSDI parents), but its not easy to prove.
Ack, thanks - did not realize it did that.
I'm going to guess that this telescope takes color pictures by making a series of long exposures while cycling through red/green/blue filters. The object being tracked will appear normal, while objects in relative motion (in this case, the background stars) will appear as a trail of colors.

The pure, theoretical rocket equation still scales linearly, the tyranny lies in the hard limit of how much mass you can theoretically accelerate out of a gravity well per unit off fuel.

But bigger rockets can get closer to that theoretical optimum because some dead weight components remain fixed-size and because some masses scale with surface instead of volume. Rockets can scale better than linearly with size, but they will never exceed the rocket equation.

That depends entirely on how you implement spaced repetition.

Need to ask the question "What is life?"

Maybe it's just the thing that tries to fill the volume. Because otherwise it's displaced by a different one that does it faster. You argue about "how fast" should it be so life won't starve itself, but I think everybody is familiar with this danger. Then we can approach it more formally: what time/speed/volume/survival probability we want, try to calculate it for different options and go from there.
I was wondering exactly the same thing last night. There seem to be many innovators and disruptors in the tools for remote working space but no one in the space to help you find actual remote jobs, especially freelance gigs (Im not talking about quick jobs like those found on upwork and fiverr but serious projects)
I don't have an answer for your question, as those sites come and go due to being abused. Someone else here may know of one, but I would not add business dependencies on it. Craigslist have teams dedicated to handling abuse.

An alternate method would be to have a forum that lets users send private messages each other so they don't even have to expose any email trails at all. A forum also gives you a place to quickly reach out to your most engaged users for announcements.
I'm curious to see where C++ will go from here on out then. If only they were open to breaking API too to fix things like unordered_map...

By the way, I know Rust doesn't guarantee a stable ABI, but has Rust gotten significant improvements out of not making that guarantee?

I doubt your experience is the norm. The system isn't perfect - there's definitely gaps or things I think should be covered (eg dental), and I know everyone's experience is different, but as a counter example I've never felt the need or desire to pay for private healthcare either (aside from not-covered dental) on demand or with private insurance, and I don't know any of my family that do either. (BC resident) The system has been there when we've needed it, including access to preventative care like cancer screening programs.

I didn't realize it was a C++-specific thing, to be honest. I should probably try for more generic wording in the future.
Do your children have special needs? It never even crossed my mind to move to the United States. I imagine given my profession I could get a job with decent benefits, but I can't imagine wanting to move to the states for the health care, unless I had a special requirement.
Writing the information should take less than a minute once you formulated what you want to write. Learning takes more time.
I don't think this fits the definition of basic income.

> Whatever income participants earned was deducted from their basic income at 50 per cent

That is equivalent to a massive 50% tax rate on every dollar earned. It seems to me the whole point of UBI is that its universal and not conditional on how much you earn otherwise.

Runtime results in panic:

panic: interface conversion: main.Dog is not interface {
Happy() bool }: missing method Happy
goroutine 1 [running]: main.main() /tmp/sandbox251002434/prog.go:18 +0x200

Using interface casting, Golang do support "duck typing" in similar fashion as ruby's Object class.
Here, by convention, the instance of Dog doesn't support "type" Happy(), therefore fails at runtime.

So golang is somewhat dynamic as well, although using interface{} is kludgy and one would want to avoid that and reflection whenever possible.
Fair enough, but that still results in an inherently unstable biosphere.
Do they tend to work in those jobs? There are people with trust funds working at McKinsey, Google, Harper Collins, Cravath, and Goldman Sachs right now. They all pay well but they aren't places where one has "essentially full control over how much they work, when they work, etc."
That's infuriating. I'm sorry you had to go through with that.

That's definitely true for those that have networks with some amount of wealth. For instance, if your family member doesn't have a vehicle, or works a job with inflexible hours, they might not be available to bring you a spare key.

My wife and I are friends with a young single mother who, until recently, didn't have such a network (my wife met her through a mentoring program). She grew up in the foster system, suffered abuse, and went to an alternative high school. Her network consisted of family members who were themselves barely scraping by, as well as school friends who were in similar straits. If your network doesn't have the resources to support you, it's not nearly as valuable.

All that being said, I have a similar feeling on moving away from our community; but our network has a lot of people (family, friends, and acquaintances) with money and connections.
I used a lot of space repetition previously, but I've found a lot of issues with it

- Most of what I learned is not useful knowledge in anki. I made many variations of different decks, some for programming and some for other concepts

- Space repetition - the concept itself is built in many different places. For instance, google will remind me of photos that I took last year on my phone. I can check up instagram and facebook to see things my friends are doing and be reminded of things we've done. I can message people and be reminded of things too, or throw parties and likewise be hit with space-repetition if done frequently enough.

don't get me wrong though, space repetition is useful especially for learning a topic that requires a lot of vocabulary. The best way to learn something is just to be fully immersed into it, if you practice it daily you basically are applying the space-repetition algorithm in practice.

If you want to learn a new language, move to the country that speaks said language.

There's a lot of wasted time and effort in making cards and determining what is "Fringe value" - cards that expire and offer no values long term

If you want to remember things about people you care about, just message them pictures of things you;ve done together. No need to make a rolodex CRM like some of my friends do, its a waste of effort and time imo.

What anki really shines though again is language learning, or learning something with a lot of barrier-to-entry vocab. This is especically true for medical industry based applications

I practice what I use everyday and immerse myself in many programming communities and I've found that I've learned and retained information far more effectively when it's shared b/w many different perspectices and contextes
wow, that's just dishonest reporting.

True that, I must add that k8s added to the delay for features and enhancements.

I have a hunch various cloud providers have been aware of TLS related frustrations for some time and are working on proprietary turn key products to add to their own offerings at relatively high prices.

This quietly disincentivized them to lean into any OSS stacks that will take away from this future revenue stream.
I really, really like the idea of UBI. However, some napkin math:

In the US, with ~250 million people being eligible, a $1000 UBI would cost ~$3 trillion. That's almost the entire budget of the US. How is this even remotely realistic right now? Even if you can cut other spending in half due to it, you'd need an additional $1.5 trillion in "income" essentially. Is that something that would even be possible? How many rich people are there to tax?
No, it's total nonsense of course. If you imagine a web browser with lots of tabs open, if someone closes lots of tabs they might be doing it specifically to free up memory.

Even going over physical memory is not a death sentence anymore because of fast SSDs being used for virtual memory. Because that is slower however, freeing up memory will still speed everything up, even if the maximum memory used needs to go over physical memory.

The OS also caches memory mapped pages of files, so memory used means more disk IO from that standpoint as well.

Even disregarding all of that, heaps get fragmented, and if many virtual memory allocations can be given back to the OS, the next time more memory is needed it will be allocated in large, 'virtually contiguous' chunks that start out without fragmentation.
What is the benefit of settling on Mars?

Until we explain that in some kind of sane way that doesn’t just involve the earth being a crutch for raw materials, it all seems rather stupid to me.

Settling an earth-like planet? Sure! Seems logical. Mars? Not really.
Right because people who work for SpaceX have no interest in the same goal.
Yeah that's the whole point of DMCA, you remove liability by not taking side.
One way we can solve this and make it right is by taxing overtime more. Men tend to do overtime frequently due to having more time in the absence of unpaid labor work women have to. That overtime tax can be used to compensate everyone equally. While it may not remove all disparity but it will level up the ground without direct discrimination.
It's wrong today. It was true in 2008, when GAE was Google's entire cloud offering (and there was no Docker or K8s).

Around the time "Google Cloud Platform" became a thing, Google changed GAE from an encapsulated bubble into a basic frontend management system that interacts with normal services through public APIs (either inside or outside GCP). It's more expensive than GCE, but it's fully managed and lets you skip the devops team.
to be fair, a lot of people are stuck in jobs that don't give them the benefits they want, don't pay them enough, or just don't suit them very well but they can't quit and get a new job because they aren't paid enough for that. UBI gives people a chance to quit and not immediately be on the streets. This also creates more competition for employers to win over employees instead of creating wage-slaves. I doubt that's what everybody who quit here did, but it is part of the idea of UBI.
Yes.

On the other hand, ten fuel tanks will mass more than a single fuel tank with ten times the volume.

> I personally know startups for whom I believe drinking the k8s/golang/microservices kool-aid has cost them 6-12 months of launch delay and hundreds of thousands of dollars in wasted engineering/devops time.

If Kubernetes had only cost us a year and two hundred thousand dollars then we'd have been luckier than we actually are.

It definitely has a place, but it is so not a good idea for a small team. You don't need K8s until you start to build a half-assed K8s.

I think the operative phrase is 'a CDN company'.

URLs are names for things (companies, mailboxes, pictures of cats), but they're also (encoded) directions to get representations of those named things.

CloudFlare is concerned with the mechanics mostly, the latter. Things like Wikidata, knowledge bases, schema.org are interested in the former perspective.
Quitting is not the metric that is interesting, quitting and staying unemployed long-term is.
Software to train people to not touch their face?
Whoever wants to do something against Corona:
Why not just train a NN model to identify when you touch your face. And notify you to not do it. Could be easily done with https://teachablemachine.withgoogle.com , then download the model, make a web app out of it that sends a notification when you touch your face. Probably less than a day of work.
Such a website could train a lot of screen workers to not touch their face and avoid a later infection.
It's because if you're in a relationship, you're considered a more valuable member of the society. Because it signals that someone has selected you to be around for a prolonged amount of time. Being single is more expensive in a big city.

At the bare minimum, if the monthly income from rental properties doubled, I suspect that would have a major impact on housing development.

It all depends on why development isn't happening, but I have a really hard time imagining that supply would not increase even if the major restrictions are due to other factors than development costs.
ConfigMaps and Secrets can hold multiple files, or something that isn't a file at all, and your application doesn't have to do anything special to access them. You define how they configure your application in the pod/deployment definition. They solve a problem not previously solved by a single resource.

Maybe you don't personally find value in the abstraction, but there are certainly people who do find it useful to have a single resource that can contain the entire configuration for a application/service.
Except it's actually a superset of those simplistic models.

It's just not getting the "kool" looks and gushing reviews, mostly written by people who totally missed all the previous research. Which is a common problem all around in computing.
