Much more easier to control than China. Ambani doesn't have an "Ambani liberation army" backing him up.

Think of it this way, why did China spin off Ant Financial out of Alibaba? Had it been in hands of foreign investors, it would be a huge issue later on if it became big. And if it became big, it would be much harder to spin it off that way. You can't spin off 100 billions and not expect strong retaliation from the countries of the foreign investors.

It was much more easier for them to control Jack Ma, and ensure he never becomes too powerful.

While India is a democracy unlike China, and the government can't just get people to disappear with nobody questioning, even without such totalitarian tools, a well functioning sovereign government is always more powerful than any of it's richest people.

An Introduction to Functional Programming Through Lambda Calculus

Book by Greg Michaelson

It's amazing it was published 31 years ago (1989) which shows that it's a timeless book to read.

This has been referenced from discussions a couple of times:

To quote a SO answer on why learn lambda calculus[0]:

If you want to program in any functional programming language, it's essential. I mean, how useful is it to know about Turing machines? Well, if you write C, the language paradigm is quite close to Turing machines -- you have an instruction pointer and a current instruction, and the machine takes some action in the current state, and then ambles along to the next instruction.

In a functional language, you simply can't think like that -- that's not the language paradigm. You have to think back to lambda calculus, and how terms are evaluated there. It will be much harder for you to be effective in a functional language if you don't know lambda calculus.

I know! It's a struggle and it takes a very long time.
I'm still practicing too...
I think the issue here is more about the operating temperature of the semi-conductors. It's only recently that chips running at 400 C (?) using silicon carbide or Gallium Nitride semi-conductors has been practical and cheap enough. So these electronics can be integrated right into the motor without extensive cooling.

This same technology is having an even more dramatic impact on High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) transmission lines where costs have been dropping very quickly.

I had the misfortune to work on (and re-write) a legacy system in a previous job and I constantly alternated between admiration and horror.

In some places the web GUI was precisely designed exceptionally well, items placed together precisely, all designed expertly around the specific domain of concern.

On the other hand, there were race conditions, corrupted data, sql injection, mountains of source files that re-implemented the same things, IE6-7 era compatibility issues, etc.

Then there was the mysterious parts of the program which I never understood, like the auto-email capabilities whose scripts could never be located, mysterious mirror servers that I would figure out existed by looking at the ip addresses of odd requests, little bits of domain logic which I would accidentally break and have to cobble back together.

In a lot of ways, many of the problems just stemmed from age, it was an early 90's application in an early-2010's world. There definitely were some not ideal software development practices that contributed to difficulties as well. But I still had a sense that the previous developer had crafted this beautiful, unique, intricately complex and inter-dependent little world.

Sometimes I was sad I had to brush all of that aside even when my changes made things more robust, reliable and compatible with the modern world.

Depends on the base you use for orders of magnitude. In base 10, 100→5,000 ms is 1.7 orders of magnitude, but in base 2 (which I think is useful because we intuitively understand that twice as long or half as long make a big difference) it is 5.6.

I don't know if natural logarithms make sense in this context, but if so: using base e 100→5,000 ms is 3.9 orders of magnitude.

Regardless, it is IMHO a reasonably big deal, a bigger deal than 'an order of magnitude faster' indicates.

No there isn't. If there was, why is the British scientist demanding faith rather than presenting evidence for mask wearing? "Methodological fetishism" isn't a real thing, is it.

Here's the mask science reality: there is none. There have only been two studies that looked at whether masks stop a sick wearer infecting healthy people (the other way around to how masks are normally used), one was underpowered and the other concluded no impact. There's plenty of studies on whether masks stop a healthy person being infected by a sick person, but that's not how mask requirements are being justified at the moment.

If you think about it, designing a study to test this hypothesis wouldn't be possible. You'd have to ask for volunteers to specifically hang out in rooms around a sick person who was definitely shedding virus. But you aren't going to get permission to do that over and over again, probably you won't even be able to get volunteers. It's effectively unfalsifiable: exactly the kind of problem that makes for bad science.

It's possible that a simple mask can reduce transmission a bit, if someone is literally coughing phlegm into their mask. If they're not coughing up virus then how is a mask meant to work? The virus is too small to be directly blocked. It can only stop fairly large droplets.

The best paragraph

> In an email to me, Frans de Waal, the primatologist, described the case as emblematic of a deeper conundrum in the study of animal minds: “Work with Kanzi has always lived somewhere between rigorous science and social closeness and family life,” he wrote. “Some scientists would like us to test animals as if they are little machines of which we only need to probe the responses, whereas others argue that apes reveal their full mental capacities only in the sort of environment that we also provide for our children, with intellectual encouragement among loving adults. There is some real tension between these two views, because loving adults customarily overestimate what their charges are capable of and throw in their own interpretations, which is why children need to be tested by neutral psychologists and not the parents. For Kanzi, too, we need this middle ground between him feeling at ease with those around him and being tested in the most objective way. The conflict around Kanzi’s custody is a fight between both sides in this debate.”

What Sue is doing is quack science or engineering in the short term, but if replicated in parallel, could be excellent science in the long term.
- You could, but you'd be exposing yourself, so you'll want to send a mule in your place.

- That adds extra risk, so you might have to pay someone to scare that mule into doing their part.

- You'll want to get that laundered somehow, so you'll want to arrange some nice path that leaves no trail to you, maybe through Western Union?

The great thing about selling products is that there is no upper boundary to how much money you can make. So, over time, you can end up making 250k $ from a single book.

The advantage of passive income is that you can use your time to create new products, which, in turn, can generate more income. It's not easy, but it's not impossible either.

Uninformed opinions have likely been more prevalent on the internet since the first comment box appeared.

People that comment without reading the article or maybe even without clicking into it will likely make comments that just don't make sense. I think in engineering circles the corrector/completionist personality trait is more prevalent.

People that did read the article and spark conversation will get more up arrow clicks. Uninformed comments will float to the bottom most of the time on HN.
working for any SP500 company will easily get you the same amount of money in less than a year

Horses for courses, as we say in the UK, but working for an SP500 company means a boss, reporting, office politics, and spending most of the day doing things that other people want you to to do. If you're independently minded and want to break out of that world, stories like the OP's are nice to see.

Can you actually cite someone who is both a climate change skeptic and believes tobacco isn't harmful? Or is that a strawman you invented?

Your definition of "denialism" is botched. Of course skeptics don't provide their own theories. They are pointing out bad science. It is not a requirement to present an alternative paper to point out that a paper is flawed. Many skeptics are people who believe the state of the art is inadequate to understand or simulate whatever some 'expert' is claiming they can simulate, so obviously those people aren't going to present some alternative 'expertise'. That would be in defiance of their own beliefs.

I don't have that much to add to the discussion, really. I just wanted to ruminate on something:

> I've often wondered how this can be possible, given that to me it's such an obvious glaring issue that all the other cited problems are distant distant seconds at best.

It's amazing how little I understand your point of view. And I'm being genuine and not critical of you at all.

To me, all of the features of the language, from move semantics, to ergonomic sum types, to nicer error handling (to me. I know it's debatable), and great runtime performance are so important, and bring me so much more peace and joy while working that compile times are literally not even on my radar. I simply don't care if they ever get better (assuming that effort is being put elsewhere. I guess if the language is "done" then work on the compile times is appreciated).

And I've certainly done real work in languages that compile fast (Go, Java) and languages that don't even compile. They always made me so much less happy because of the languages themselves just not clicking with my mental model of problem solving. Again, compile-run feedback loop just had nothing to do with it.

All that said, I use Rust Analyzer for code completion and it's generally fast enough. But it's still sometimes has a noticeable stall. That's not my favorite and it's kinda related to compile times.

Just really amazing how different people using the same tool have such wildly different modes of interaction and perceptions. Cool stuff. Cheers!
I personally find modern Linux and git easier to grasp and discover compared to vi/vim/emacs.

Help prompts, user interfaces and capabilities of GUI tools have increased tremendously over the last decade in the Linux realm.

However, vi (because of its nature) stayed almost the same.

Even in 2020, I need to dig a lot of resources and keep my own notes to do anything complex in vi(m). This is not the same for rest of a Linux installation.
Yep, I felt like I was rolling the dice every time I hit next.
Disclaimer: I’m only a casual Rust user.

> One group loves fast compile times and quickly validating hypotheses

In Rust, it’s sufficient to type check (if it type/borrow checks, it will probably work) and Rust can type check in real time via rust-analyzer. This is much faster feedback than running your program or even its tests.

Of course, Rust’s type/borrow checker is also choosier than many others, and you still spend more time fighting with errors that don’t actually improve your code’s correctness (e.g., borrow checker errors are rarely indicative of a bug in a single-threaded context). So Rust’s iteration loop is quite fast but it’s development velocity is still relatively low (even when adjusting for quality), but it’s improving all the time.
> This means that the global economy can—and does—reroute around bilateral tariff barriers with ease. For example, tariffs between China and the US lead to proxy lobster trade through a third party: Canada. Instead of the US selling lobsters to China, China buys more lobsters than usual from Canada, who in turn buy more lobsters than usual from the US. After the bilateral lobster tariffs are applied, the US, Chinese, and Canadian current account balances are unchanged on net, despite the shift in bilateral trade partners.

> which is the same thing, but with a bigger library and shittier UI.

That's really not true at all. They are only now adding some of the feature set. Anecdotally, their radio stations are not nearly as good. Sometimes in a list of 15 songs, 12 of them might be from the same artist. If YTM does, in fact, have a bigger library, I could not tell.

Additionally, now my music suggestions are polluted by my video watching and my video watching is polluted by music listening. Neither of those things are desirable.

I'll be keeping the service, since I'm grandfathered in to YouTube Premium. But I'm probably going to switch to Spotify for music after using GPM since it came out.
How I did it is that I install VimPlug then CoC then the rust extension.
I think it's an inability, rather than refusal. It's not outright impossible to say "this is unknown," but it does conflict with the way our mind naturally works. We don't leave "i don't know" holes. We don't think in terms of degrees of confidence. We think in terms of facts, abstract theories... at least "we" as groups.

There wasn't really a time in the past when people didn't know what the stars were. They always had a view of the world that was complete internally, including "what are stars" knowledge.

Even science, in the philosophically ideal sense, works by theories overtaking earlier theories. We don't go from unknowledge to knowledge. We go from bad knowledge to better, truer knowledge over time.

Interestingly, science in the squishier sense does have more ability to recognize holes in knowledge. Physics has distinct holes in its knowledge base that they are trying to answer. As a human, deciding to do an experiment or study something requires a "we don't know" posture. Epistemologically though, science doesn't have this posture.

It totally falls apart as you distance from hard sciences though. They don't tend to have "quantum theory of gravity" like holes that they are trying to fill.

> He is credited with identifying the cause of the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster.

Feynman demonstrated it. Feynman didn't identify the cause himself.

Morton Thiokol engineers[1] had been saying that NASA should not be flying on those conditions, because O-ring problem was not solved. Sally Ride (member of commission) informed USAF Gen Donald Kutyna (also member of commission) about the O-ring problem. Kutuna invited Feynman for a dinner and pointed it out to Feynman so that he could bring it up.

Everyone knew how politically sensitive the issue was and how there could be whitewashing attempt. Kutuna figured out that Feynman was the best person to bring it up. And he did so brilliantly.
