In Steven Levy's recent book about the inside story of Facebook he recounted that one of the WhatsApp founders was so saddened by Facebook's betrayal of the promises they made when acquiring WhatsApp (for $22BB) that he donated something like $100MM to Signal as an "act of atonement." Good to see that Signal still has a sizeable cushion.

I don't think the warnings about the nature of COVID are wrong the pandemic is just unevenly distributed and people have a hard time contextualizing their personal risk when they aren't directly effected. 110,000 Americans have died in only 4 months.

The short answer is that there are optimizations that the GC is doing which gccgo is not doing.

The long answer is that gc will do escape analysis which can avoid allocating on the heap, gccgo doesn't do that.

Why might LLVM be better suited? Primarily because the framework also supports JIT and has efforts from the likes of Azul to make their JVM faster. Most optimizations that would benefit Java will benefit go.

Given the amounts of bugs that are both filled and fixed on a daily basis, reality does not seem to reflect this claim.

If you expect compiler writers to go and explore your open source project of choice in a blind hunt for compiler bugs that they can fix, I hope you sit down while you wait and do not really need these kinds of bugs actually fixed.
A look into American popular culture is rather revealing in this aspect. Consider the currently running series "SWAT", which portrays the rise of a good-cop SWAT leader. That's the lead "good character" of the series, and he and his team are brutalizing suspects, some instances of which may actually be torture, commit various felonies on a "dime a dozen" basis, constantly abuse police powers, lie to superior officers, frequently recklessly endanger civilians and commit morally despicable acts like blatant entrapment and much more.

Those figures are the good cops in media. This is the popular media idea of "policing done right" in the US. While just one particular example, but if you look around in American media the "good cops" exhibit at least some of these aspects the grand majority of the time.

There are lootings because police resources are tied up showing force against protestors, and people with bad intentions see an opportunity. The violence and property destruction is a separate event from the protest marches with different people engaging in these practices entirely. If I was one of the 70k people living on the street in LA, this would be a great time to stock up on essentials from a CVS on Capital's dime. However, I don't condone the looting of small businesses where owners have very little savings. Many of these immigrant run businesses that make LA unique don't have insurance, and many will fold after this inventory loss coming on the heels of two months of no income.

Amp power caps aren't usually bitey enough to be dangerous, although they will certainly hurt if you're careless with them. They also usually have bleeders, since a line-powered unit doesn't need to economize on power the way something like one of my flash heads does. I usually just poke a screwdriver across them when I'm doing a recap job, and I've never had them so much as spark. But for maximum caution, I'd use a 100K or so 1/2W resistor, connected with clip leads across the capacitor leads, and left for a minute or two prior to desoldering.

For an amplifier of that vintage, I'd probably be more worried about the fact that it'll likely be neither grounded nor double-insulated, meaning it's possible for an internal isolation failure to present a potentially lethal line potential on any metal parts of the case.

>"Maybe we can think about techniques to create empathy among strangers."

It's all about abolishing hierarchical leadership, and the "one-to-many" dynamic. People who foment tribalism like Trump, for instance, are only effective in a mediated environment in which they are immune to any criticism and can pontificate from on high. In a one on one social situation, his behavior and attitude would be laughed at and ostracized because the vast majority of people are generally good and wish to be peaceful. But when they are able to atomize individuals and speak directly to them, the power of their rhetoric is irresistible, because it appeals directly to the person's identity. That's why Trump supporters will follow him off a cliff. He is them. His thoughts are their thoughts. And the basic human survival instinct kicks in when anyone attacks something you identify with so intimately.
Because there is a great deal of sentiment that the approaches used in the United States are excessively militarized, racially unjust and insufficiently transparent.

Using a problematic customer like that as a marketing highlight is just not a great idea.
The question is not only about how "bad apples" are handled, but also what techniques are taught, what kind of leadership is given.

If you stick cops in heavily protected gear this gives them stronger feelings.

If you have a President (who isn't directly responsible for police) cheering to be "tough" ("Like when you guys put somebody in the car and you’re protecting their head, you know, the way you put their hand over? Like, don’t hit their head and they’ve just killed somebody — don’t hit their head. I said, you can take the hand away, okay?" https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2017/07/28/t...) and then not have a leadership promoting other values you encourage to be like the "bad apple" not like the good apple.

If you then also often have cops alone on duty or with fixed partners, thus no rotation you have less internal checking.

If you are then also in a country where the police officers have to assume that the citizen they pulled over might be armed you certainly don't help them to relax.

The list goes on - true, most cops certainly want to be good, but there are systematic issues emporing the bad ones.
Another summary of a press release based on a study that doesn't seem to actually find anything new or 'surprising'. As the 'article' states, the holographic principle is an idea that is 30 years old.

As I understand it, this paper is novel because it has found a scenario, a set of rules, where the math shows that the universe could indeed work this way...but this particular set of rules doesn't seem to be the ones we see in this universe. (I'll get to the specifics in a moment)

Why is this still useful? Because it is a starting point, a model that confirms the theory is workable. If the result had been negative, then some parts of the theory could be ruled out.

Now to the specifics from the original paper's abstract:

> We study this issue in the context of gravity with a negative cosmological constant. We exploit the most basic example of the holographic description of gravity (AdS/CFT): type IIB string theory on AdS5×S5, equivalent to maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in four dimensions. We thus resolve a long-standing question: Does the four-dimensional N=4 SU(N) Super-Yang-Mills theory on S3 at large N contain enough states to account for the entropy of rotating electrically charged supersymmetric black holes in 5D anti–de Sitter space? Our answer is positive.

Lots of words. A few things to take away is that this paper talks about a universe with four spatial dimensions, not three, and it considers "anti-de Sitter space", which would be a universe that loops back on itself instead of being infinite and flat as our universe appears to be. Last thing is that because the rate of expansion of the universe is accelerating, the cosmological constant is probably greater than zero but this theory only considers a scenario where the cosmological constant is negative.
Yeah, there’s them. But there’s other ten man funds that can generate massive returns.

These aren't new issues, practically speaking every attempt at less radical solutions hasn't worked and there have been many. In the end, the solution will be filled with political compromise and the weaker your starting position the more compromise there will be.

> Remember what the official word was for all too long: masks don't work, but save them for health workers.

Who said masks don't work? What I recall people saying is:

* most masks provide marginal protection to the wearer

* the masks that provide effective protection should be saved for those in situations where they need them (and can be knowledgeably used)

* most people probably don't need those masks

There's a worthwhile criticism in noting some seem to have taken longer to get on board with the idea that marginally effective masks (a) reduce spread and (b) are a low-cost intervention, but people who are going to make that criticism probably should doing it from a standpoint where they're asking themselves why they flattened the above multi-point conception into "masks don't work."

And if this is all about using the initial misunderstanding as a jumping off point to the difficulty of getting non-trivial information out to the public, that actually underscores the importance of curation.

> Does no one read history or think about second order effects?

Are you suggesting that this is the milestone of history where someone decided not to publish or distribute material because they thought it was irresponsible?

Because I'd bet that's happened before, even inside societies that cultivate robust discourse. Maybe even a lot.

Who is thinking about the second order effects of a no-responsibility no-curation approach?

How? There's no risk of escalation in the chemical weapons regime from the protestors, nor is there any chance of the police using lethal chemical weapons such as sarin gas.

The logic around chemical weapons in the Geneva conventions was specific to escalation around chemical weapons. It wasn't a fully general argument about the use of force. Any force used by police could cause escalation, but we do allow the police to use force.

New technique for engineering living materials and patterns
I think if TD were banned in 2016, there's a decent chance the world would look even worse and more polarized today, due to the backlash and chain reactions that would have occurred.

Picture "TOP SOCIAL MEDIA COMPANY BANS SUPPORT OF THE PRESIDENT" headlines running for months.

Picture Trump bringing it up in hundreds of speeches and tweets, demanding regulation and saying how unfair it is that he and his supporters are being censored and silenced and attacked by Silicon Valley and the left. (He's already doing that, but this would give him way more ammo.)

Picture he and his supporters pointing to it as evidence that The Elites and the liberals and the tech industry are out to get him and out to get half of the country, and that only he can defend their liberties and bring our country and corrupt establishment back from the brink.

Also, all of those users would just flock to alternative off-site communities that make TD look like a bastion of reason and civility by comparison.

Huffman's not in an easy position, here.
I think you're describing an analogue of turing-completeness. It's not (to me) a question of whether we can reason about something: it's a question of how long it takes, and how much knowledge is involved with the process.

What you're describing sounds like asking a PDP-11 to run GPT-3. Technically possible, in the broadest sense of the word. But a computer that can run GPT-3 successfully will look at that PDP-11 in much the same way that we look at a dog playing with a chew toy.
yea but this argument has been done to death a million times. There were a million threads about facebook just this week.
Also, why do people keep creating new accounts to post these very poorly thought comments ? Don't you have the balls to attach your speech to your semi public internet presence or are you just trolling ?

I think it's fair for someone on the fence, or visiting the conversation from the other side, to comment on the crimes of both sides without fear of being personally insulted on HN.

We can condemn the police and hold them to the much higher bar they should be held to, and also condemn whatever looting and vandalism is occurring. "Two wrongs" etc.

Since I'm gathering you're more open than your initial post gave on, I'll try give feedback on the difference here. Your posts seemed to blame lockdowns as the issue, minimizing the unavoidable impacts of the pandemic.
aphextron references a breakdown in supply chains & social support, something the american government has failed to step in for, preferring corporate bail outs

ie there's not an implication that these riots were avoidable by not having lockdowns
It applies almost entirely to law enforcement and military, where budget cuts are rare and accountability is negligible. There's an entire cottage industry devoted to exposing wasteful government spending and they'll expose $600k going to some research scientist at a university, but ignore police departments wasting 100x that amount on equipment that can never really be used.

Now, 51, I feel totally normal again. And that change was pretty much overnight once I started using that wretched machine.
This reminds me of a discussion between Alan Kay and Rich Hickey on role of "data" that occurred right here on HN[1]. The TLDR (though the thread is very worth reading, IMO):

Alan Kay argues that bare "data" isn't very meaningful on its own because it leaves the interpretation too open. His view is nicely summarized by the following quote:

> For important negotiations we don't send telegrams, we send ambassadors.

Rich Hickey argues that bare "data" is a fundamental primitive that, while leaving open the possibility of misinterpretation, leaves open the possibility of re-interpretation in multiple contexts. This is the strongest quote I took away from his POV:

> None of the inputs to our sensory systems are accompanied by explanations of their meaning.

Based on your above post, it looks like you're strongly in Alan Kay's camp, which may also explain (in part) your experience struggling with Clojure's approach.
