Sure it's valid but that doesn't mean it's not ambiguous. All it would take is an initial clarification (once near the top) that they're using "email" to mean "email address" and not "email content" and then we can all give this the correct level of attention.

I'm not for a moment suggesting this isn't bad but if you run about warning people of something important it helps to be clear and not risk exaggeration / ambiguity (or you play into downplayera hands and potentially waste the time of honest folk)

Given infinity that doesn’t make sense.
You are basically saying the same thing. Behavioural economics, in particular, says that expectations are not always rational.

To be more precise, just because people expect that things will improve doesn't mean that they will. However expectations do drive behaviour, whether those expectations are rational or not.
Explicitly selecting what code to execute next can be trivially achieved in a cooperative multitasking system. Naturally, the details work out differently. That's because both concepts are equivalent, just not the same.
Can you show us what you made?
Congratulations on the launch, Yusuf (?).

A few points:

1. The pricing (8 months free + $2/month), even though it is very competitive, does make my brain calculate, "what if the 8 month free period didn't exist. What would be the total cost then?" And the conclusion it comes to, "a tad more expensive compared to other usual suspects". I don't think that was your intention and I don't know if others think so, too, but that was my first reaction to it.

2. Access to the page builders without having to sign up would be a plus. Ref, divjoy: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20688044. Doing so might be difficult, so don't spend too much effort on it as I am not sure if it would actually help increase the sign-ups. It will make me try, though.

I thought you were talking about a Vonnegut book for way too long.
All the people I see sharing these videos (in Australia) are educated people in their 30s and above, who really care about well-made, nutritious food, and love the fact that someone is presenting it in a quirky entertaining way that can reach a wider audience.
I don't know if it helped much though - Like others have mentioned this is a quasi Go article doing a Schrödinger on OCaml

Pretty much, yes. The price of goods are going to skyrocket over the next 6-18 months.

If only there were a currency which nobody could arbitrarily devalue by increasing the supply.

The point he is making is that the Democratic party elite have decided after the election of Donald Trump and brexit that we have too much democracy. Part of that pattern is a sudden sense of responsibility on the part of big tech companies to only allow information that is in line with authoritative sources AKA experts.

He then goes on to point out how often the experts on these things that the media references are completely wrong either willfully or structurally. He cites numerous examples in just the last few years of this including the WMD fiasco where a bunch of journalists and all the experts were just certain that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Or the Russiagate narrative which was a very specific set of allegations which were all proven to be false. He hates Trump, but he's not a partisan and therefore was capable of seeing wishful thinking and groupthink in action.

The most horrifying aspect of this article was the fact that lawyers are now writing op eds in the Atlantic advocating for Chinese style censorship in the United States. I never my wildest dreams thought I would see this happen in my country. The fact that it's coming from people on the left is a gut punch.

I grew up in a Christian fundamentalist environment where I was all constantly told what words I was allowed to use and what I couldn't. Saying lucky was discouraged strongly. We were blessed instead. This control of speech had a purpose which was to control how you think. It's awful and it's evil. And now the party I've always voted for has decided that that's the way to go. Yesterday Adam Schiff the Democratic congressman who is in charge of the house intelligence committee yet again sent a notice to the big tech companies telling them they needed to censor more of this.

I don't know what to do or say at this point. I just know that if the cost of freedom of speech is that sometimes the masses do dumb things I'd rather live with that than be told what I can and can't say.
Ah, yeah, I was thinking of the initial connection.

I guess the mesh needs to be pretty small so that you can have a fully connected mesh or you'd need some way to deal with netsplits and a gossip-style protocol for discovery of new nodes, right?

Welcome to academia. You just have to ignore the bluster.
I hate how we're stuck in backwards compatability with ssh. It'll never follow XDG base dir specs for example. Many servers still use RSA. Can't really blame anyone but man backwards compatability can be a pain.
Yeah, I still wouldn't call it password recovery.

Nothing wrong with semi-colons. Everyone has a different preference anyway.

Thanks for saying all that. It was a huge amount of work and getting appreciation makes it all worth it!

No hard constraints as of now. But I don't think I want to include meta programming or a pre-processor (don't really like it to be honest). I do want to keep it compatible with C internally, on Assembly level. One thought is, to create a file with function headers/definitions that are then dynamically linked and can just be used.

I used some C std library functions that way for debugging (printf, ...). And as I follow the standard calling conventions, the compiler should automatically generate compatible code.

With this, it would also be possible, to write OpenGL code. That would be really awesome :)

As of usage of my language - Not sure yet. Up until now, the road was more of the goal then the finished language.
So far we've made back about half of the crash. The bottom was when Corona growth could still be considered exponential. All the bad economic data was already anticipated at this point.

Over the last few weeks it has become apparent Corona doesn't have much room to accelerate. The worst possible scenario is fairly well understood now and it's not all that bad. I assume most of the "rally" is taking horror scenarios off the table. Hence it's more of a reverse correction.
k3s is a lightweight stripped down version of k8s, so it's smaller and faster, and tuned for more resource scarce environments, like an RPi.
Which is a niche use for which there is no consumer demand. This is not a problem the ordinary consumer faces. It's not a problem the extraordinary consumer faces. And it's actually hilariously bad for people with actual problems like this, because they need money that looks and spends like money and not like "I'm trying to hide something" money.

Which loops back to the problem: why is anyone else going to buy in?
Fair enough. I watched a few of his videos and was immediately put off by the constant unnecessary ‘fucks’ every few sentences. It doesn’t seem like he is dramatically more popular than a whole host of other cooking channels which manage to be both insightful, entertaining and not vulgar. So, I don’t see why The Guardian needs to pick this channel when plenty of others exist.

I also don’t really appreciate the ‘pearl-clutching’ bit. Not wanting to hear swear words constantly doesn’t make me some ancient conservative who wants kids off my lawn.
To be a bit clearer: I get that operating systems can be very annoying, but kicking things is not a healthy reaction to being annoyed.

If you kick things just because you're irritated, please seek professional help, and don't blame it all on Windows.

I don't agree entirely. Our physical bodies may not have changed much (also not entirely true but a different discussion).
But the fabric of thought and knowledge has changed immensely.
When a human is born today, to caring parents, they will have entirely different experiences, stories, teachings than their 1000 year old counterpart, and these shape their brain and mind immensely.
What is "human nature" if not what we become as we grow?
Even our instinct to survive has changed, and is very varied (from survivalist trump types to hippies and beyond probably).

There's no reason to debate "who would survive if the world was so-and-so" it's interesting, but not important in discussion what human nature means.

So, let's swap people from today and the earliest homo sapiens:
Newborns with type 1 diabetes
- Only the one from the past survives
5 year old healthy kids:
- They'd probably do fine, assuming the one from today can adapt their immune system (and vice-versa).
10 year old healthy kids:
- Probably already issues here, I'd not bet on the modern kid.
30 year old person:
- Not betting on the modern one, might be they can integrate themselves into the group, but it might become apparat that they're not carrying their weight, and ousted.
- The one from old, if they manage to learn our language, that'd be success, they'd probably end up in prison or an institution.
It's an art project.
I'm a layman when it comes to economics, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. The way I think about it is, when the Fed "creates" like this, who actually gets it? Well, it's the person who holds the asset the Fed will buy. Those assets (like bonds) are held primarily by the wealthy. The wealthy already have enough money to do the things they want and most of the time it's about watching the number in the account go up.

What I mean is, it seems like there are two economies. The economy where the wealthy* buy things. Things like art, yachts, houses in coastal cities, stocks, bonds, fancy education, fine collectables, fancy cars, fancy clothes. And the economy where the normal people buy their normal things like TVs, cell phones, commercial air travel, food, normal clothes.

So when the wealthy* get money for their assets from the Fed, they aren't really buying the same things normal people are buying. So inflation so far has not crept into normal things. It has crept into wealthy* people things, a lot.

Of course there is bleed-over, like housing and education and medicine, where inflation is showing up because the wealthy* and the normal people compete for the same resources or similar types of resources.

So when you're talking about purchasing power, are you referring to living a normal life or a wealthy* life? If it's the former, the current CPI seems like not a big problem.
I think Stephen Wolfram would beg to differ with you on the topic of how difficult it is to find an ‘interesting la rule – his hole oeuvre (whatever your opinion of the man) demonstrates that these things crop up surprisingly often with even the basest ingredients.

With regards to the kind of rule you speak of, a cellular automata cell in a 3D environment has at most 26 neighbours in the lattice. You could easily increment that to 27 if you wish to make its behaviour depend on its prior state (or even 53 if it you want it to depend on its 26 neighbours’ current state plus 27 prior states of itself and its neighbours). I built such systems (albeit on dynamic networks and 2D automata lattices) for my thesis nigh on 18 years ago. It’s quite utterly trivial.
Those are about your data as a customer though. It's obvious that if a company is acquired, the new owner also takes the customer list, and active customers have very different rights regarding data protection than the customer's customers that visit their website and do not know that data is being collected about them.

If e.g. Google would sell Google Analytics to Facebook, they cannot use the Analytics data to track users and send them emails, since it wasn't originally agreed upon with the GA-users. They very much can send an email to every GA user and offer them the new FBGA premium service.
I have a motorised, height-adjustable desk with a large monitor on an arm.
Have you encountered that? Since systemd I have more confidence in issuing reboots, but of course if it goes sideways it seems harder to debug, exactly because I have not much experience with that part.

I enabled various debug levels for it (it can spew out an ungodly amount of data, but exactly what you mentioned is missing, the "what are we waiting for" info) - I had a problem with shutdown taking too long.
Where are you from? In Greek we use "glass" instead of "bucket", it's really interesting to see how close these expressions are.
What a silly metric. Is there any point other then feeding language-war trolls?
Funnily enough I would have said the exact same thing for exactly opposite reasons: on our level everything looks very regular despite the underlying subatomic world being totally nondeterministic.
The political theory behind Urbit
Markets may well be, often are, irrational.

But it's not crazy to expect the markets to rebound. People are becoming unemployed for a _transient_ reason of lockdown etc., economic recession is due to the pause button being pressed, and not a fundamental breakdown in economic activity.

Of course prolonged lockdown etc. could make things worse still. But the main pain we see is definitely expected to me short-medium term.

As for markets being irrational - actually, I think they are more often rational than not. They are mostly bashed for being irrational in hindsight, which, well, is not really fair. Also, it is just often rational, but with respect to different criteria than what is widely assumed.
The New White Lies of Lockdown
> How about I throw it back at you and ask you to name a single former President who has been involved in as many deeply serious scandals as Trump?

Firstly, I would be cautious in an era of big government and vastly more media than previous governments in case of falling prey to the diagnosis fallacy. Regardless, yes, I could.

> Can you even identify any scandals involving a Democrat President that even begin to approach the seriousness of the Stormy Daniels affair, the Ukraine affair, his ties to Russia and the assistance his campaign received from Putin, or any of the literally hundreds of major acts of corruption that have taken place under his watch and often at his explicit direction?

That's easy, Bill Clinton.

> the Stormy Daniels affair

Monica Lewinsky, and that was a far bigger scandal

> the Ukraine affair

Operation Infinite Reach, a war crime if you ask me (and many others). Has Trump committed any war crimes? Bombed any pharmaceutical facilities that produce medicines for some of the most deprived and needy people on the planet?

> his ties to Russia

I can't believe people are still into this one, but lets go for White Water for that one.

> any of the literally hundreds of major acts of corruption

If we're going for rhetoric instead of anything substantial then Christopher Hitchens will always win, though this is one of his more mundane descriptions: "a crooked President and a corrupt and reactionary administration"

I'm old enough to remember before Trump, and I struggle to remember an American president who wasn't mired in scandal, but "Trump bad" must mean it was all nothing much.
I almost joined his lab around 2014 as a PostDoc (without knowing about the Google deal, which was not yet official I think) but eventually I stopped the application process because I wanted to pursue my own startup instead. Today I kind of regret not having stayed in quantum computing as my startup was only modestly successful and as I would probably have been much better off working for Google, in retrospect. I'm working on my next startup now but I keep wondering if I should go back to quantum computing eventually, I'm not sure though if I'm still relevant as my PhD dates back to 2013 already (I had good results though and did it in a renowed QC group on superconducting qubits).
I am running such a setup since last year.

Now I no longer need to dual-boot between Linux and Windows in order to use Windows-only software (like games or photo-editing software) and it has been a real game-changer for my productivity.

Just let me know if you have any questions about such a setup and I will try to answer them.
Unfair to paint academia like that. My interactions with tenured professors in my dep has been nothing but pleasant. They don't have egos (or don't act like it), are more than happy to help, and have been like a family to me my entire academic career. Don't mean to nitpick, and I know there are academics that are huge pricks and depts that are unfriendly places. But it's not true of them all and I'd hate for people to get that view.
That's a funny thing to say since you can't get 10x worse than it is--we're already at 25% unemployment. Maybe you can say 2x?
Exactly. On eBay contacting the seller to ask for more specs is completely okay. I don't even know if it's possible on Amazon. And I don't even care, the listings are so bad, scammy looking, it just discourages asking, after all why wouldn't they just send back a nonsense answer.
You are basically just spamming your site on HN: 20 submissions in 9 months.

You're getting good feedback because it's an intelligent community, but IMO your behavior is objectionable.
> Neither of your monitors requires HiDPI scaling

I beg to differ, 4k/32 does need scaling to my eyes. I don't want things to be that tiny.

Not every application needs to support scaling, so long as the GUI framework they use does, and the window manager does (XFCE has support, which I have activated) that makes the 4K screen more usable to me (while allowing the full res to be used for smooth rendering), then I use xrandr to scale the lower-dpi screen back down so elements are the same size across both. Sure, there are a few apps that don't behave brilliantly, but they aren't things I use much.

Like I said, it works better for me than MacOS or Windows (I have both, and a 2103 Retina MBP I still use).
> Stripe has thousands of items in the backlog across many areas, and in a larger company there’s prioritization at many different levels.

"Hey, you're doing something that may be illegal." - "Yeah, we know"

That's an issue. If they'd say "but the color of our signup button has a higher priority", that's an even larger issue.

> It could also mean recovering the access to root,

No! Even for me as a non native speaker this is obvious since I have worked in the field for a few years.

A car is a vehicle but saying that "a vehicle means a car is wrong".

In the same way recovering access to the root account might give you the same effect as recovering the password, but often not.

This is a situation were correct wording isn't hard and a situation where it matters in my opinion. People come here to learn and we shouldn't mislead them especially when the cost of fixing it is trivial.

If I recover the access to root, fine, I have access to that machine.

If I recover the root password I have access to all that the root password gives me access to.

On systems where for example home or certain configuration files are encrypted using the password as a key (yes, a bit simplified), this is the difference between getting access to the data or not.

> this is just splitting hair anyway.

No. This is trying to avoid potentially costly misunderstandings.
But why would this impact installed drivers or applications? I get this warning "shutting down and starting up again" as different from rebooting from new versions of software, usually.
They literally wrote what they won't do. They were just very specific with it, which suggests they may use, share, rent and sell the personal data for non-interest-based advertising, e.g. demographic-based advertising and want to keep the option on the table.
> The people Taibbi is complaining about don't want to filter what they see. They want to filter what the masses see.

Sure, but that's only possible with systems where censorship is possible. Consider Freenet. It's ancient code, but it's arguably impossible to censor. Even to censor what's being stored on your local machine. But unfortunately, there's no anonymity, and users are readily discovered and arrested.
> So, I don’t see why The Guardian needs to pick this channel when plenty of others exist.

It's because he's reaching an audience that normally wouldn't seek content about healthy home cooking. He also has an interesting personal backstory.

I've edited my comment to take out the personal jibe, but I would encourage you to think about the impression your comments give if you don't want to be seen that way.

Content doesn't always have to be pleasing to us personally for us to be able to peel back a layer and understand its place in the world.
Peter Norvig is the most inspiring genius in my coding world.
I met(virtually) him via AI course in Udacity and since that time I enjoy all reading/watching from him.

His book AI programming(Lisp version) is a gem that I enjoy reading. I've finish a book a few times already - but every time I read I find something new that I missed previous time.
