That the beauty of "OCaml, Haskell, SML with MLTon, Nim, D, C" and lack effectiveness of JIT compilers have done very little for them to take market share from Java in any significant way.

In case of C, on the contrary it lost to Java the majority of the roles it owned during 90's enterprise distributed computing applications.

Most searching (e.g. web, email, torrents) is based on ads, which works because of the utility to a huge number of people. There are many things one might in passing want to be able to search (e.g. quickly finding the location of particular book on your disorganized bookshelf, non-web text content, etc.) but don't have mass appeal to sustain ads revenue. And even many of those wants aren't worth paying a few dollars for let alone the cost of hosting search.

So does anyone in the HN crowd have a search-based itch they're willing to pay to have scratched that's not already handled by existing search products?

No, that's still not quite right. While it removes considerations of race from the comment, it also removes context since it makes it sound as if the scamming is equally distributed globally when everyone knows it isn't.

Exactly. The main difference is that they would now not be used to generate the infoboxes, but actual prose.
A state flag can be ambiguous because it refers to a state, which is an ambiguous entity with a long and varied history.

The Confederate States of America (CSA) is not an ambiguous entity. From beginning to end in its short 5 year history, it was made to fight for black slavery. It existed for no other purpose and was subsequently disbanded when slavery was abolished. Literally the only heritage the CSA created in its short life is rebellion and racism.

If you are aware of this widely-known history, it's obvious what this flag narrowly represents. The argument that the CSA could conceivably represent Southern pride is a joke. Ask any non-racist southerner if the most racist institution in US history and its deepest shame is a good stand-in for Southern pride.

Here's a thought experiment: if a group of Germans claimed that the flag of the German Reich represented their pride in Germany's independence and the valor of its veterans, would you be defending it like you are now? Would you use the same excuses?

I can accept that some people may be completely unaware or are too dim to put 2 and 2 together. I simply expect that once they do learn about it, they understand why it's indefensible.

> Germany restricts US driving licences depending on issuing US state.

I always wonder about the situations that inspired regulations like these and exactly how they believe they're solving whatever that problem was.

Was there a rash of accidents involving drivers from Texas? Did someone from Delaware blow the German test so badly that they soured the state's reputation forever? Is this somehow American Top Gear's fault?

I don't think that forcing these platforms to choose to be publishers or not publishers will have the desired effect.

Some will choose to be publishers, increase moderation, and also increase censorship and bias. If we introduce liability, they will be forced to remove even more content. Platforms would gain even more control over the content that users see.

Some will choose not to be publishers. We all know how bad the internet can get without moderation. I don't see how this would even be feasible with spam and illegal files/content.

Neither of these distinctions address the true source of power and influence for these platforms: the visibility algorithm. This is what has the power to decide elections. A platform might agree to never delete a Biden or Trump tweet/post, but what really matters is the number of users that actually see it, the relative placement in the almighty feed. And that is 100% up to the platform.
And exactly for that reason, many are also euphoric about jaotc, which makes use of Graal anyway.

Does anyone have a good reference to competition vs compliance in the airline industry? US has a very competitive airline industry, and hence the incentives for regulations seems to be quite high.

On one hand, since Pakistan has a small fleet (60 planes across 3 airlines per wikipedia), I would assume it's highly competitive and there isn't any room for error/bribing. It's also possible that it's very competitive so not much incentive to invest time in getting a license?

It's also quite odd that Pakistan has really stagnant airline industry while almost all other economies have growing airline transporation. It was 9.63Mn in 2016, and down to 6.88Mn in 2018. Per https://www.theglobaleconomy.com/Pakistan/Airline_passengers....

Censorship is pretty good at suppressing the words or images that are being suppressed. It's not very good at suppressing the thoughts or feelings that are considered wrong.

Nazi symbols are banned in Germany, but they still have neo-Nazis.

The first plane I flew on was a 747, so the whole experience was novel. I was 12, and the captain invited me to the flight deck as we were over Greenland.

I could do that at my current company (long term relationship). But I feel safer by not doing that. I don't take care of every security risk on my private systems. I probably should but that is another matter.

Company notebooks are required to use the VPN tunnel and they do if you don't have admin rights and change that behavior.

I don't want to put that on netflix support to figure out the problem people are having...

When the fourth leg starts getting rotten
This seems to be the current list of rules for non EU countries and US states to transfer the driver's license to the German one after six months (linked by ADAC): https://res.cloudinary.com/adacde/image/upload/v1572337531/A...

After having lived 5+ years in Virginia in the US and knowing multiple people that got their driver's license in Virginia, I am really surprised that apparently people with Virginia issued driver's licenses don't need to do a theory nor a practice test in Germany to get the German license. From what I have been told there was no official driving school/education required in Virginia, neither in theory nor in practice. People could just show up for the tests. And at least the practice test was ridiculous: I drove a friend to his test and after 10min of circling around the DMV building the test was done. And consequently people drive really bad (at least in the NoVa region). No one knew anybody who failed the tests. This is all to say the Germany as well is willing to let it slide to a larger extent than I expected.

For comparison, to even register for theory and practice tests in Germany you need to have taken at least 12 90min lessons for the basics and 2 additional 90min lessons for extra topics, all in official driving schools. For the practice test you need at least 12 times 90min driving hours (5 regular roads, 4 autobahn, 3 at night). In average students take 15 practice hours. It is not so uncommon that people fail at theory or practice tests.

Lava Launches ‘Design in India’ Contest Amidst Calls to Boycott Chinese Goods
Sounds like map-vs-territory confusion to me. A model of a mouse in a computer isn't a mouse, the point of doing the experiment is to uncover whether what you thought the model predicted was in fact what happened, because it's possible you didn't incorporate some aspect of the real mouse.

Simulations are useful for making calculations. Say I'm convinced that buildings work a certain way and I have a finite element model of one. I don't know what the predictions are for a new building of a certain shape, so I shove it in a computer to tell me. The computer tells me what I should predict assuming that my finite elements ideas were correct. What it won't tell me is whether there's some aspect of that model that doesn't correspond to what the building is actually gonna be made of.
My interpretation of this as a manager is that this developer was probably a creative thinker with a decent track record who got stuck going down a bad path on this project, and nobody paid attention or intervened until it was too late. They were also probably pretty junior but perhaps had some past accomplishments that made them appear less likely to make this kind of mistake. Once it was in production, the developer very well may have been "stuck" with it (i.e., unable to get permission to scrap it and redo it, since it was technically working and solved some business problem).

Given the team dynamics and lack of involvement from this person's manager, I wouldn't move to fire them. I'd move to rethink the entire team, admonish the manager, and possibly remove them. The team itself wasn't working, and this was a symptom: someone had a bad idea, pursued it for too long, nobody did enough to stop it, and then they couldn't go back.

This is a classic consequence of a manager who has stopped paying attention to their own team. The team was most likely also overburdened with too many tasks, which is why everyone was working on something separate and independent and nobody knew what anyone else was doing. In reality this developer shouldn't have been given a project like this without being paired with a more senior engineer to supervise it, but that would cut down on the number of story points the team could get through and would thus be discouraged in a dysfunctional environment.

Heavily subsidised gulf carriers (many of which were founded by ex-PIA cadres...) have ate the lunch of the few Pakistani private carriers. PIA used to be nation's pride from its better days, so it's politically hard to rectify it when people with statist sentiment now run the establishment.

I’ve become a bit disillusioned by grassroots organising given how easy it seems to be to fake. This place claims to be self-funded, but I wonder. It’s exactly the sort of thing a foreign adversary would fund just to cause trouble in the U.S.

I feel like the internet has caused a sort of problem of how easily the public can be pushed to vote against their own interests. It’s a cheap way for foreign countries to “attack” a democracy without ever risking serious retaliation, and I haven’t seen an answer to it. Or even corporations to protect their interests at the cost of having people vote against their own interests.

Off the top of my head I can think of two answers: walled garden(I think of this as the Chinese approach) and high education levels(I think of this as the Swiss approach, but I have no idea how effective it is).

And airport terminals simply didn't have the space for A380-sized passenger lists. I've been in many an A380 line where 3 or 4 lines across the entire walkway of the airport, blocking all foot traffic to other gates.
In this air freight context, the relevant short concept would be the "shutdown rule" of economics: you keep operating in the short term as long as your revenue covers your variable costs. If it doesn't, it's cheaper to just not operate at all, but if you're beating the variable costs you're at least minimizing your losses even if you're not covering your fixed costs.

In the long run, you can't ignore the fixed costs forever and you eventually just leave the market altogether.
In recent history, Delta only flew 747s between 2009 and 2018 (they were originally Northwest planes, acquired in the merger). I can't find any evidence that any of them ever had 3-5-3 seating.

Yup, you're totally right, I misspoke—I meant to say that the furthest you can trace back Western history is 2500 years [total] back to the Greek "golden age" ~500BC.

> Something I found charming from the wikipedia article on Sargon the Great is that the Babylonian king Nabonidus (6th century BC, "ancient" by any modern standard) sponsored archaeological research into his life.

Wow, never knew about this. I really want a term to come into the vernacular to describe history before ~800BC, because things really were completely different across Eurasia. In the Mediterranean and Middle East it was the revival of civilization after the Bronze Age collapse, in India it was the beginning of the Upanishadic era, and in China it was the beginning of the Spring and Autumn period. This [1] is sort of relevant.

Agreed. My first and only business class overseas flight was top deck on a United 747. An absolute joy. With a handful of passengers and your own crew, with the pilots up front, it feels like you are on a private jet.

I've worked with the Wikidata set a bit. On first glance the entries do seem to lack any useful information as it's all heavily abstracted into other items and properties - as well as containing a bunch of references and qualifiers to validate the facts.

Once you start connecting the items to other items and properties, you begin to see better information and context.

A lot of the "snaks" of items are units of measurement, so no worries converting them into other languages. This project should help in generating articles in other languages based on these facts.
I feel like many of the people that has this opinion never worked at a big company in a big code base.

Interesting about the requirements for the theory test. In France I'm not aware of any such requirements to sit the theoretical exam. They actually even eased the process as you don't have to go through a licensed driving school to sit the exam.

For the practical exam though, there are requirements, but not as explicit. I'm only aware of a number of hours, around 20 I think. When I took lessons for the B permit (regular cars) I had a notebook with different sections the instructor had to fill out as I was progressing. For the A permit (motorcycle) there wasn't any such thing.
