Anecdote:

I have wanted to do this at several points in the past few years (3 years out of school now, first real job). Although I can't say for certain what life would have been like had I done it, I'm currently glad I didn't. I have learned a lot about myself and about perseverance, and the experience I have gained has unlocked more interesting opportunities for both the present and the future.
I think this is a bit distracting. It's an ancient name. Probably a better paragraph to fixate on would be:

> Moloch has been used figuratively in English literature from John Milton's Paradise Lost (1667) to Allen Ginsberg's "Howl" (1955), to refer to a person or thing demanding or requiring a very costly sacrifice.

I mean a project called Zeus would hardly founder on it's namesakes fetish for turning into a bull and assaulting human women.
"Time and effort required" in order to find vulnerabilities is not a magical protection. It is a legitimate protection. Not one that should be relied on, but very much something that factors in. Open sourcing software doesn't immediately improve security, but it drastically lowers the barrier of entry for researchers to start looking into it.
The question is how long you can hold off people getting infected. Sure, a complete lock down for 1-2 months will delay it but for how long? You guessed it - 1-2 months... At the same time you'll crash the economy completely. Was it worth it?

"In fact, all the uncertainties around the future of this pandemic are part of the motivation for Sweden opting for a liberal approach. We have to plan for strong social distancing measures to remain in place for a long time and they won’t work if they are harder than necessary."

You said "server decrypts" but then also "server being unable to see contents". How? If I decrypt, I see contents.
My opinion is C and C++ need a divorce. So that C can be modernized with features that make sense in the context of the language. And not constrained as a broken subset of C++.
Even in that world, you'd still want a way to manage the load through the night so that you don't have all the chargers clicking on at 11pm and then when the cars are full have a few hours later, demand craters until morning.

With renewables the incentives for load management become even higher (per this article). The real next step after second-by-second billing would be setting up chargers with backfeeding capabilities/policies, so that you have an arrangement with your employer to charge your car at work on cheap daytime solar power, sell it back into the grid during the evening rush, then charge up again on overnight base load. Most EV batteries are way overspecced for what people need in daily use, so as long as you have a special "charge me to full and stay there" mode you can switch into, there'd be no reason (other than a bit of wear and tear) not to cycle your battery like this.
It's paywalled, but AIM is the London Stock Exchange's less regulated sibling, the Alternative Investements Market, and the main claim from the article is:

> "close to 3,000 companies have listed on Aim, but 72 per cent of them have never produced a return for investors, according to professors Elroy Dimson and Paul Marsh of the London Business School. Worse still, nearly one in three Aim companies have resulted in shareholders losing 95 per cent or more of their initial investment."
I'm guessing Patreon is reacting to the changes in the legal landscape. The same ones that made Craiglist close its Personals section (or however it was called): the increased liability for the platform for whatever behaviors the public at large might find objectionable. Or find an excuse to take an issue with, really.

From what I know, the anime genre creators were a fairly popular niche (with the associated income stream), so they probably weren't taking these changes lightly.

I'd say write your congressmen (I'm not from US myself), but at this point it seems futile.

in bali, hotels are now offering 3,000,000 rupiahs for 30 days stay

that's about 6-7 usd / day

no breakfast / food / mineral water

minimum airbnb price floor is like what? 10 usd / day?

that's 50% more expensive than hotel chains in bali for months to come
I always saw it testing a business relationship with the cellular industry rather than any serious effort. The iPhone wasn't successful in a vacuum; Apple Stores, relationship to a carrier, deployment of iTunes all contributed to getting traction. I'm sure Rokr had more influence than Knowledge navigator did.
Cripes, I forgot about that crazy scam.

Magic Leap is at least a tech product, though. And even though they had some actual device, the thing they marketed was complete fiction, they never brought the promise from that whale demo to market.
I agree, bit confusing. I never read about it until now.
I would also love to see these numbers. The highest earning group on Patreon is a leftist podcast, and they're only doing it with singular $5/month patrons.

For a lot of workloads, higher level services offer more bang for buck along the axes that matter. For a small real world example, I could run Wordpress myself on a VM for a fraction of what I pay WPengine, but it's way better for everyone if I pay WPengine instead and get on with doing the things that move the needle on my business.

Scaled up, you can consider the equivalent to be using managed database offerings, message queues, load balancers, etc. There's more value to me in spending time on the differentiated things that drive the value I provide to my customers than me implementing a crappy shadow of DynamoDB or BigQuery myself.

The problem is that it is hard to differentiate between lucky idiots who failed upwards, and actually capable executives, who know when to defer to expertise.

Executives are judged on results - which are heavily influenced by circumstances that can be entirely outside the executive's control.
This is a great example of bad writing. I think you have an inkling of a premise, but spread it weakly across three paragraphs while muddling through your feelings and misunderstandings about models. You never actually define or defend a position. Couple times you've come close to contradicting yourself, but the premise is so weak I can't say for sure.

I do think you successfully communicate that you struggle with some of the concepts you're trying to refute.

Just looking at your highlighted statements:

> The most valuable mental models do not survive codification. They cannot be expressed through words alone.

Close to stating a premise but you've gone and blown away the the subject of models. I think you're trying to say farnam street is selling snake oil, but you're now arguing experience can't be taught, which is tangential and generally uninteresting

> When Warren Buffett studies a company, he doesn’t see a checklist of mental models he has to apply.

1) You don't know that and 2) "warren buffet studies a company by running through a checklist of mental models" is a claim you've just come up with to refute (strawmen seem to make up the majority of this post)

> How do you know if a computer program is badly designed? You don’t go through a mental checklist; instead, you feel disgust, coloured by your experience.

No. You've indicated you don't understand design, and again that a model = mental checklist, which is your own assertion
Interestingly, a lot of programmers (who program for the CPU) worry
about caches a great deal, despite:

- Programmers being unable to control caches, at least directly, and
reliably.

- Languages (e.g. C/C++) having no direct way of expressing memory
constraints.

This suggests to me that even in CPU programming there is something
important missing, and I imagine that a suitable explict
representation of the memory hierarchy might be it. A core problem is
that its unclear how to abstract a program so it remains perfomant
over different memory hierarchies.

Worth keeping in mind this isn’t a silver bullet. OpenSSL with Heartbleed comes to mind.
I stopped reading this kind of stuff a few months ago. I felt the content was very valuable and interesting, but only if you have prior experimental exposure. If not, the content is just like an empty shell. Words are wise, but you just can’t understand why.

I’ll read those books again in a few months/years, after practicing. I’m pretty sure it’ll be like reading entirely new books.

True. The article has a decent answer though. Incremental builds are necessary because:

> [Slow builds] can be annoying if your site has 1,000 pages and one content editor. But if you have say 100,000 pages and a dozen content contributors constantly triggering new builds it becomes just straight up impossible.

Gatsby needs a cloud to host this build server. They also apparently host a nice content editing UI.

If you don't need a content editing UI, and/or are fine maintaining your own static builds, you presumably wouldn't subscribe to the cloud service.
Just for reference, Norway's epidemic also started with a large influx of cases from Italy and Austria. But the countries have used different strategies from that point on.
This FT article dates from June 19, 2015. AIM launched on June 19, 1995 - hence this was a 20-year anniversary piece.

Pascal has it too. I always found it quite natural to specify the range I want with the data type and not as precondition in the function. Another big advantage is that you can avoid a good deal of potential off-by-one errors, if you define your data types appropriately. For example the following definition in Pascal would be much less error prone than the corresponding definition in C[1]:

var
weekday: 0 ... 6;
monthday: 1 ... 31;

For a quarter of a century I wonder why no one seems to miss that feature. I really hope we will get them in C one day. Even more so I hope that the proposals for refinement types in Rust[2] will one day be resolved and become implemented.

Admittedly they've done a poor job talking about it on their front page.

But for what its worth, they talk about security of data in accessible (albeit lacking) lay terms here: https://www.permanent.org/digital-archives/services/privacy-...

Not known to me yet is whether these claims have been validated.
The title is misleading and inflammatory: The article itself is making a much narrower claim about the monetary value (economic growth) derived from equivalent amounts of research effort.

In that context, they claim it takes more effort now than years ago to achieve the same level of economic benefit.

This is far different than anything having to do with the # of "ideas", which is too abstract of a notion to be meaningful the way they use it.

Even if they're correct that it now takes more research to produce equivalent economic benefit, then through one concept of "idea" we actually have more than ever: researchers aren't doing the same bit of research over & over, they're doing new bits. Each bit easily fits into the concept of an "idea", and so in that sense ideas are plentiful, it just takes more of them than before to achieve a given level of economic growth.
I was given Buck's Fizz (Champagne and orange juice) when I was 5, at the birthday party of a super-posh boy who lived in the village. His grandfather didn't even ask my mum first. Upper class people apparently have different rules.

At Imperial, when the Google London office was new, the feedback from staff for why so few students hung around at their recruitment event was the lack of alcohol. Overturning this HQ-imposed very American policy apparently took significant effort.
He always does this on Shark Tank too. Guy has some kind of issue with doctors.
The "MD" was a guy on Shark Tank asking for an investment in his vitamin supplement company.
Why do you think the next wave will be in the winter?
That doctor was selling a supplement. Supplement sales are largely scams, even the ones that are "developed by doctors".

Also, its name is almost certainly designed to confuse consumers by sounding similar to "Z-Pak", aka azithromycin, which is an antibiotic.

I'm not sure why we should expect doctors to be experts on the market forces behind antibiotic use, and there's plenty of reason to be skeptical of that specific doctor's motives.

If I'm remembering my history:

Athens founded Phocacea (in modern day Turkey), which founded Marseille, which founded Nice. All were independent Republics.

My understanding is that it was peaceful, or mostly peaceful. The aim was settling a city to further trade, not military conquests. That came later with the Romans.
15 years ago I subscribed to Nature for a year. The last page of each issue was a short SF story. Some of them were really good.
> Some common activities completely lose their appeal due to the increased risk, such as theaters, concerts, travel, public transportation, and open offices.

I really doubt that. Even with very dangerous disease, like Polio and Measles, most people lived their lives as normal.
I reacted to this article reflexively in response to the abundance of pop self help content that’s been with us forever, now in the form of non stop podcasts of people essentially giving the same advice. It’s fine, but the self-help realm is just, blah, too much of it can really be counter-productive. In so many words, the author is just echoing “there’s a lot of bullshit out there”.

Your basic Philosophy 101 class teaches interesting mental models like Cartesian doubt. That really shaped the way I thought about things for years to come.

With that said, it’s important to identify models properly. If you listen to MMA fighters or other athletes, you can start to see their incremental approach to increasing training intensity to achieve measurable results. Not parsing that out will leave you with a shadow of a mental model that, in this case, would be mostly comprised of non-core strategies (e.g Always stay positive, have no fear, never accept no for an answer, etc).
It's also odd that there isn't more disagreement with the article. It essentially takes a nonexistent claim, and then debunks it via strawman analogies, with no accompanying proofs.

My favorite part:

Not if you've somehow come to fundamentally misunderstand the principles.

Although, I can't resist the urge to now read more articles by the author, perhaps this is actually an extremely clever example of gonzo advertising.

Interesting, newer knew the word is of biblical origin. In German the word Moloch is in somewhat common use to refer to an abstract merciless, all-consuming or all devouring power.

E.g big cities might get referred to as molochs the way they eat into nature around it or suck people into its anonymity

Fridge is typically placed inside a house, unless we are talking about some alternate kitchen style. If so, ambient temp inside an apartment/house that is already heated or cooled is somewhat constant I assume. If so, where is the savings?

Also freezing it more in day doesn’t allow me to freeze less at night. If I don’t open the door at all, then the insulation is already taking care of this. What am I missing?

That quote stood out to me, too.

It's hard to lock down an area in the U.S., too, but some states and cities have enacted nonessential business, school, and transportation closures that have been quite effective at flattening the curve without a geographic quarantine.

Maybe another question to ask: Can Sweden enact emergency facility and public transportation closures for other reasons? For instance, for a flood or some other disaster?
It depends on what you do. I read about mental models for a long time before any of them became useful for me. Working at a startup right out of law school there were a few that were relevant for my job, but nothing earth-shattering. Years later in a different job where I make a lot of business decisions, consult internally on marketing strategy, and deal with a lot of metrics, I use a lot of the specific Farnam Street-style models constantly.
This must be so devastating.
I think this puts a few things in perspective for me, and others. We're here for such a finite amount of time which too can be cut yet shorter.
> sandbox your games. There's a reason I run Steam in a flatpak, on Wayland

If flatpak works perfectly, I suppose an attacker could still steal the "cookie" that automatically logs you into Steam.

Ideally you want Steam to be sandboxed, and then Steam to in turn run all the games in individual sandboxes.
You are assuming this deal is the same as previous ones. Its not even close

Grants for employee salaries and benefits like health insurance, low interest loan to be paid back, and a stake in the company in the form of equity. And all with strings attached so they can't hand out bonuses or lobby congress.

Businesses operate on revenue and margin and companies like airlines can't justify using even 1% of its revenue to "save" for rainy days. Their tickets have to be as cheap as possible and they have to market to as many people as possible. Its unreasonable to ask them to lay out millions on the chance an act of god rolls through.

As a company they have plenty of ways to raise capital to weather major events, including selling stock, which is what they are doing - to the government in exchange for favorable loans and a grant.
Talking with real doctors, POCUS as its called, definitely helps but a lot depends on the skill of the operator as Covid-19 disease is complicated and has multiple presentations. You can a sense of that in this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5QJ5O3ldE0

The fundamentals of POCUS are good though. At my wife's hospital, disinfecting the CT suite after a Covid-19 patient is a real barrier to using it. POCUS doesn't have that problem. I think what needs to be done for POCUS is to make the diagnostic capability easier for non-radiology medical providers to use i.e. make the view more like a CT or MRI scan and less like looking through a straw. That's something the HN folks can very much help with.
regarding 1), the point of money laundering is that you can report that income to the IRS without clearly implicating yourself in criminal activity. laundering your money and then not reporting it defeats the purpose.

there's nothing inherently wrong with obfuscating a source of income, although it's hard to do this without committing some sort of fraud along the way. it's a (somewhat distasteful, imo) administrative convenience. people who run criminal enterprises have a variety of methods for distancing themselves from the actual crimes they are making money from. it turns out to be a lot easier to catch them doing funny stuff with money than it is to pin any of the original crimes on them.
