That's not increasing the efficiency of the storage, though. It's just using otherwise wasted heat from a different process (which could probably be otherwise used for cogeneration or something).

In hot countries it might be efficient if the chilled exhaust is used for air conditioning or something, I guess.

You already had a huge scandal in the UK with the police being afraid to break pedophile rings in several cities because they thought they'd be accused of racism. Condemning them for being calm, but not impossibly professional while dealing with paranoid people will surely motivate them even more and ensure maximum efficiency. Comparing them in a critical way with the US police which is regularly killing people likewise.

And if anyone arguing against the approach you support is apparently ignorant or provoking your disgust, I think I'd rather let you focus on fighting this good fight and dealing with its Brexit consequence.

Committed culture warriors often seem to loathe SSC. From their perspective, it gives too much credence and attention to obviously evil ideas, and the author is in thrall to the worst elements of the Other Side (than the one the culture warrior is coming from).

That many people especially admire SSC for even-handedness, which they see as false, is especially infuriating to them.
I think mythology is an important metaphorical tool, but I'm inclined to agree with you. Disney movies are engineered to sell, usually by indulging kids' fantasies. One of the big numbers in The Little Mermaid is literally, "I have so many toys, and now I'm in love." It's kid-crack. Kids like candy.

I like Mulan though, and The Lion King. I think those are some very cool movies with very good life lessons.
Not OC, It would be great if you could normalize the data for number of cars/bikes and for Km/miles done (I do not see this data in your link). Because I am wondering if maybe there are fewer bikes then cars so the numbers comparison will be unfair.

I am not against bikes, cities need better infrastructures, I only needed to drive once on a busy city and I said that I never do it again.

The problem is it's not as useful as many people seem to think. I often hear my colleagues suggest ML for anything remotely complicated, even something like "measuring body fat percentage using electricity" that in reality only needs a physical equation.

I've even heard people suggest it for web scraping which seems absolutely crazy to me.
If you can read in French, they were published on 2015 on a book "Écrits sur l’Allemagne 1932-1933". It is a loose collection of articles and letters that were put together for this book. There are some translations to English of slightly different collections. The most prominent articles that you want to read are

* "The situation in Germany"

* "Germany waiting"

* "Are We Really Heading Towards a Revolution of the Proletariat?"

They have been translated into English and edited several times. For example they appear on the collection "Simone Weil, Formative writings 1929-1941".

They offer a rare insight written by a "leftie" germanophile french jew, and her dismay at the two-pronged attack that the German working class (whom she admiringly describes as the most cultured working class in the world), who were at the same time being destroyed and being seduced by the nazis. Somewhat naively she insists that no matter what atrocious things the nazis do, if they end up conquering Europe they will be seen forever as the good guys. She says that this is the normal course in history, and that the "good guys" in Europe's past were no worse than the nazis of today. She also draws parallelism between the German and the Soviet states, that caused her starch criticism in left-wing french circles. Since all of this was written well before the war, there is an ominous prescience to these texts that makes them extremely interesting to read. Curiously enough, there is no mention to the nazi hatred of the jews, she is mostly concerned with their hatred and exploitation of the working class.

I think the big surprise in the next few years is going to be Apple coming out of left field and taking the lead in the hybrid AR/VR space.

Why Apple? Think about the level of software-hardware integration for the camera in the past few generations of iPhones. Imagine that expertise being channeled into an ultra-low latency, 90fps passthrough pipeline combined with exhaustive research on optical distortion, perceptual FOV, etc, and then layering the existing SLAM of ARKit on top of it, advanced by another generation or two.

Apple may well realize the original Magic Leap concept videos before Magic Leap does.

You seem to be interpreting “bear comparison” as “bear resemblance”? The author is saying that the mythology would be of a comparable complexity and caliber (which can be achieved while still being unmistakably English), not that it would resemble European folklore thematically.

I own a similar sized and prized cargo bike. It replaces all my urban transportation needs, carrying me and my 3yo kid and all the cargo we need. It’s cargo capacity is in line with a small car. My average speed in the city is about 20km/h which is very much in line with a cars average speed in an urban setting. On many of our daily commutes it’s even faster than a car. For us, it entirely replaces a car. It’s cheaper to maintain. I can largely fix it myself.

I ride it for about 3000-4000 km per year, which is a definite indicator that it’s not a toy device.
> It’s a contradiction to say the network effect protects Facebook but at the same time say they had to buy Instagram because they were successfully competing despite the network effect. Facebook’s network effect didn’t stop Instagram, Snapchat, WhatsApp, etc.

It's not a contradiction, since network effects can be unstable over time (e.g. people get older and young people "enter the pipeline," sometimes with different preferences). By the time of the acquisitions, Friendster had disappeared and MySpace was in the throes. Facebook had the network effects at time t=0 and determined that Instagram and then WhatsApp would have the dominant network effects at t=1 and t=2, respectively. I somewhat agree that we shouldn't punish Facebook because they understood Instagram's and WhatsApp's value than Instagram or WhatsApp did, but network effects can be fickle if a company like Facebook doesn't try to co-opt/buy competitors.
I really like it. Looks really good. It's possible that they could put more information on one screen, but I'm sure they'll iterate and add some tweaks.
> It really doesn't matter if he's the subject.

It matters to some questions, not to others. The accusation up thread was ill treatment of a source. That's not what is happening, and that angle muddies the water.

The question is what privacy we deserve, even when we choose to engage with society at large scale. It's worth discussing in water as clear as we can manage.

Sure, probably, lacking some aspect of Scott's identity that makes his full name important I think I agree.

The short answer is: don't design for future use-cases.

Period.

Instead, only build what you need to solve the problems you have in-hand, but do so in such a way that your software and your systems are as easy to change as possible in the future.

Because you very, very rarely know what your future use-cases really are. Markets change over time, and your understanding of the market will also shift, both because some of your assumptions were wrong, and because you can never really have a total understanding of such a complex phenomenon.

Your business needs will change as well; your top priority from 2019 is likely very different than it is today.

That is why you build to embrace change, rather than barricade against it.

As to how, I'd start with Sandi Metz's 99 Bottles of OOP: https://www.sandimetz.com/99bottles

Learning to write readable code is also pretty important; Clean Code is a good starting point (https://amzn.to/3168z3A), but I'd be keen to know of any shorter books that cover the same materials.

Growing Object-Oriented Software Guided By Tests (GOOSGT) is a good read as well: https://amzn.to/3du1sEL
because teenagers and people in early 20s are in general more impulsive, less responsible and more prone to solve things by violence than older adults?
I agree with you. I was in the Michael Jordan camp, as in: Machine Learning is just statistical inference rebranded and with better marketing. There are lots of cool applications for sure but there is no "magic sauce" beyond your usual models obtained by error minimization. But lately, especially seeing the progress with the Attention/Transformer models I have been slowly letting myself convinced that maybe that is all there is behind human intelligence: Lots of priors encoded by evolution in the brain, and general quasi-brute-force mechanism for inference, deduction and imagination. Of course this is probably a naive view, but I think the main point will remain: Intelligence can be created or simulated by giving an agent the capability to extrapolate in a way that "makes sense" in the environment the agent will live.

"Software is Terrible and Getting Worse"

I wonder if increasing bloat is a permanent thing? Will software ever transition to a cycle of simplification? Has it ever gone through a simplification cycle in the past?

Physical engineering has some limits that push back on complexity. You can only cram so many gears into a Swiss watch. An item can only have so many parts before manfacturing becomes a nightmare.

What will push back on the complexity of software? Will it ever "break" in a way that we just do things differently?

And it would be strange to think that something like haskell could save us, when the compiler itself is such a beast. If something saves us, it will probably look more like FORTH or lisp or Prolog.
There are a couple of reasons, but the biggest one is that intercepting HTML at the network level allows you to filter inline script tags from documents[0]. If you want to stop an inline script from running (say to defuse an anti-adblocker popup/redirect), you can't wait until after it gets parsed to remove it. Once it gets added to the page, the browser will execute it.

Of course, note that uBlock Origin also supports scriptlets[1] that can be used to rein in scripts after they get added to the page, instead of by doing resource rewriting. You're not restricted to only doing your filtering at the network level, HTML filtering is just another tool that filter authors have at their disposal.

Helpfully, at the scriptlet wiki page I've linked each entry also shows a practical example rule that relies on the scriptlet. You can also take a look at the uBlock Origin's default filter lists[2] if you want more examples of people using both HTML filtering and scriptlets in the wild. Many of these block rules are impossible to implement in Safari.

That's a pretty good alternative to providing delete.

I still think you should provide delete though - Reddit and Twitter - the biggest discussion sites of all time - live with the nature of people deleting elements from conversations and they don't suffer too much for it. I do encounter threads sometimes with deleted elements but it's doesn't hurt the user experience.

I'd prefer the choice be in the hands of the user as to whether they wish to delete something - or everything. Quality of discussion would go up and negative, low value comments might be reduced if people can delete things without needing to email hn to ask for the deletion

I do wonder why HN holds on so tightly to preventing people from deleting their comments and accounts.

Anyhow your comment points to reasonable and good natured moderation, which is next best.
Trying to design for many unknown futures is expensive.

Changing in the future costs something.

Designing for future changes up front makes sense if cost(future change) > cost(future proofing)

SAAS? Do virtually no future proofing.

IOT, do some.

Space probe? Do lots.

Also, if you haven't built quite a few relatively similar systems, don't do future proofing without talking to people who have.

I do not disagree with you.

This article does not cover current campaigns nor does it cover "controversial" campaigns. For example the bugging of Angela Merkel and similar interferrence in the politics of allies. The article is interesting none the less - in a from the horse's mouth sort of a way.

Also the numbers are interesting: Spending 40 mio usd in Serbian politics. Given what Serbia's GDP was in the year 2000, that would correspond to a foreign government spending billions of dollars trying to sway US politics.

I do not think that's telling. I think a lot of good people think that S.A. is benign. Part of it might be whether or not you're a "read the comments" kind of person; part of it may be whether or not you pay attention to who he's linking to and referencing (or whether you care about that kind of thing). Some of it is overt; he's taken active stands on some issues that are, if nothing else, not neutral. But I'm only rattling those things off so you can understand how someone could come to a different conclusion about SSC than you do. I think what's going on with SSC is subtle enough that it's dangerous to make judgements about people simply based on whether they get value out of SSC.
The current 13" Macboook Pro has a hardware resolution of 2560x1600. The screen resolution will be the same if you switch off display scaling. Pretty much everyone using one will have maximised windows because it's physically small.

As a psychiatrist, Scott Alexander meets new patients or potential patients who haven't heard his real name before all the time, probably almost every day. It's been his experience until now, despite his blog being rather popular in certain circles and occasionally linked in national op-eds and such, that his patients, despite the inevitable cursory Googling that everyone does nowadays, are not aware of his blog and controversies that surround it (such as, e.g., numerous culture warriors on both sides loathing it). He greatly prefers it stay this way, for several very good reasons he wrote about better than I could, and suspects - I think correctly - that in the case of a NYT profile that outs his real name it will not.

I don't know why you keep repeating that him deleting his blog ensures the lack of anonymity (in this sense) where there'll be a NYT article or not. I suspect he'd disagree, and I think that if this story ends with no NYT article that outs his name, all the discussions and media articles about this story that happened so far won't change the desirable status quo re: his patients not connecting his name to Online Controversies through cursory Googling.
