Yes indeed, the Polish really helped a lot. But obviously they could not continue their efforts after Poland fell -- not in Poland anyways. And everything else you say is also true. The last thing you say is particularly insightful: that the U.S., by using commercial contractors, was essentially committing to letting them commercialize some of the technology, while the UK by not using commercial contractors, was not and then did not. It's especially sad that homophobia led to the early end of Turing's life -- imagine what he could have done had he lived longer!

Check out buildroot linux. I have had very good luck with this distro for professional embedded applications. It doesn't have the same annoyances that other common embedded linux distros have. It is easy to hack on, easy to customize, and if you must, it is easy to understand.
I live just across the border from Sweden, in Denmark. Our health authorities proposed the same strategy as Sweden - but our prime minister overruled them, and chose a bigger lockdown quickly, after a serious warning from the Italian health minister about the grievous ramifications of doing just a 'measured response' like the epidemic playbooks prescribe. I'm glad she did. She chose a strategy that bought us time - and since then we've learned several important things: One is that social distancing is a much more effective weapon against viruses than we had imagined - so it's not inevitable that everyone will eventually get sick. And the other thing we've learned is that in addition to its relatively high mortality rate, this virus causes many more side effects by messing with our blood vessels, causing all sorts of organ damage. A significant number of those infected end up with decreased lung capacity or neural damage causing decreased cognitive function and/or decreased motor skills. So yes, Sweden probably took a smaller initial hit to their economy compared to ours in the first months, by not locking fully down. But what percentage of the population needs to get permanent nerve damage before it can be felt on your GDP for the next generation? Sweden's strategy does not allow them to avoid this, because the infection has already run much of its course. I'm glad we chose a more cautious approach. I think Sweden executed more or less what was considered best practice in the epidemic playbooks - but I think those playbooks will be re-written based on what this virus has taught us.
Analogous to Gresham’s law: “bad money drives out good” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gresham%27s_law):

Good code is easy to replace, bad code is hard to replace. Therefore, all good code will, absent other forces, eventually be replaced by bad code.

My understanding is that:

Neither CSS nor HTML is turing complete.

The combination of CSS and HTML together is not quite turing complete either.

The combination of CSS and HTML plus an external source that repeated clicks the mouse is turing complete.

I could be remembering this wrong, however.
The analogy isn't appropriate, in my opinion. It's viable to start a new grocery business and consumers can exercise choices in which ones they frequent. These options are not nearly as viable for healthcare (particularly in emergencies or when seeing specialists) or postal services (when serving an area as broad as the US).

> My concern is not primarily with the outsourcing of moderation, but with the type of moderation that is required.

But the problem doesn't go away when you shrink the size of the social media site. The same people will still try to post disturbing content. In fact, you're giving them more places to post that content, so potentially more people will have to moderate it.

> There are ways to limit the kind of content that people post. Making things less sharable is one way of doing that. Creating barriers to entry is another. My list of suggestions encompasses both.

Your suggestions can be implemented on smaller websites as well as larger ones.

It seems like your issue is with the ease of access to social media. Thus your solution is to limit access. However, I don't think there's a reasonable implementation of your idea that could work. Nor do I think any kind of social media is going to want to go that route. It doesn't matter if the site is funded by ads or is trying to grow. The point of these sites is to share content. People don't want to limit that.

Also, breaking large social media sites into smaller ones makes it much more difficult to deal with troublesome individuals. Right now, it only takes a few bans before you're blocked from most mainstream sites. If we had, say, 10× the number of sites, that's 10× the number of bans required to get these individuals out of the system and 10× the number of moderators who had to look at their content before banning them.

I'm not saying there's no solution here, but I think people are misidentifying the problem. We all want simple answers and simple solutions even when there aren't any.

Looks nice. I saw that there is no PHP implementation yet. Doing it and publish it on Github would give me something, besides a "kudos" from Amazon? I am not asking for a position at Amazon, but maybe an interview?
Does anyone know if you ignored the effort required to prevent/fix up noise growth, what would be the overhead of homomorphic encryption?
What has bugged me a lot with JavaScript that it lacked standard presentation of dates and decimals (like money), making it feel inferior for application development. Happy to finally seeing this addressed on both JavaScript tself and then also in serialisation formats.

(Though looks like Ion is not solely targeting JS, but I make an assumption it is nice to consume Ion data in frontend)
OP never said all his stock had a $17 basis, just that they held stock with a $17 basis. I agree, the capital appreciation of TSLA stock is truly amazing though.
Or when Hitchcock's Spellbound was released in 1945.
Agreed! Woot!
There’s an element of this amongst retail but I’m talking about professionals. A diversified portfolio has to have some aggressive do or die growth stocks. TSLA is (or was) probably the best of this breed. So if you’re going to own a change-the-world-or-die-trying stock, TSLA is the go to for many.

I'm not convinced. New vehicles have been announced each year in the last couple of years now and they have been largely unsuccessful so far. I think it will be hard for other manufacturers hit the same sweet spot that the Model 3 is hitting. That being said, there are lots of segments (vans, pickup trucks, ...) that are still open for grabs.
You were specifically arguing that their margins are not good.

Admission of a crime should not be taken as truth. 134 people have admitted to being the person who shot the prime minister of Sweden, Olof Palme.
Telescopes like VLT, the LIGO experiment, CERN LHC and ATLAS, and a few others really represent the state of the art in terms of precision as applied the science.

I got fascinated with the challenges associated with building high precision systems (which has been an ongoing pursuit since the beginning of the industrial revolution that has led to untold scientific and economic wealth). It's not easy. Progress depends on large numbers of people working together across multiple fields to build systems that are often only a few percent better than the previous generation. Sometimes, there are breakthroughs and fields progress rapidly, only to end up stagnated as they reach their theoretical limits or other bottlenecks.

What humans have achieved, over the course of civilization is really quite extraordinary and we shouldn't ignore that what people were doing at the beginning of civilization required precision as well, but the precision depended far more on the physical skills of the artisan, than their ability to use their brain and capital to make highly precise objects.

Two of the most powerful techniques that came from the mastery of precision are interferometry (the process of collecting and combining multiple light waves) and spectroscopy (the process of collecting frequency-resolved photon distributions).

I'm building an alt-az mount for a raspberry pi solar scope at home; it weighs a few pounds. Each of the scopes at ESO (there are 4, allowing them to exploit interferometry to increase their angular resolution) is a building that is an alt-az mount that weighs 350 tons.
Security by obscurity is a problem because a site can get destroyed if one person discovers the flaw. He cares mainly if a not insignificant number of his patient discover him.
Google, Microsoft, Amazon, they all somehow make the front page of HN with their quarterly reports. Not just Tesla.
If I had to come up with a system, it would be some sort of reputation hierarchy, with a small number of paid employees at the top. Each level is responsible for auditing the levels under them.

> What real agency does the system you propose offer?

The ability for millions of users to moderate themselves. So... fast response time, by opinionated, emotionally-invested moderators, as opposed to the status quo: slow response time by paid burn-outs following a flow-chart.

> if your system requires users to view beheading videos regularly

I'm pretty sure that content would be reported faster than anything else. To be fair, another part of the issue is ban-evasion using multiple accounts, and that indeed requires additional measures to handle. Sadly, there's a disincentive to dealing with fake accounts, because trolls count as "sign-ups" too.

> people will just migrate to a site that doesn't require that.

Like Youtube and Facebook still occassionally do. Well, most users haven't abandoned them yet, so there goes that theory :)
Datascript: An immutable in-memory database and Datalog query engine in Clojure
I think most tech founders are more than capable of getting a decent paying engineering corporate job if they choose to do so.

The problem (at least for me, who started off in FAANG initially) is that the longer you're in the start-up world, the more you hate the idea of going back to a corporate job.

So in my previous start-up I went all-in, racked up tens of thousands in CC debt and would have sold every single one of my possessions before letting it happen. When I missed my first rent payment, I ended up reluctantly selling the company and only accepted the offer on the condition that my transition period would be one month or less (i.e. I don't actually have to work for the acquirer).

Throughout that time, my previous coworkers/managers from the companies I originally worked for kept trying to convince me to come back.
Wow, just wow.

I knew it carried its whole crew with it, but the cabins are almost a little hotel, two kitchens! Three sleeping quarters! And that's all just tucked into the parts that aren't used for cargo.

I got a few good chuckles out of the back-and-forth, just from the subtitle, I'm sure it's even better if you speak Russian. Well worth a watch, thank you for posting it!
I would say no because the core boolean mechanic that allows CSS-Sweeper to exist cannot be inverted directly (NOT, !). In order to invert anything here, you have to start with an inverted copy of every bit and do the opposite calculation at every &, |, etc to always have a "NOT" var to reference. Like a shadowy, anti-vein, copy of the main logic.

There are several edge cases where a sort of simile of NOT is possible though. You can branch from truthy/falsey into falsy/truthy numbers. And if is something is falsey you can "else" into another action.

Just can't "else" from a truthy state without the ...anti-vein... always being present.

Uh, anything?

Say you want to acquire property for cheap, like a port or a rezoned development. But laws get in the way. You call in Reliance and demand a favour, then they'll demand a favour from the government. It's happened very often in India to not notice. An affiliate of one of the funds in question actually owns port property in India. Private Equity has a lot to gain from this deal, and not just returns.
Good judgement – leaders secret sauce
From what I have seen, the excessive topological frameworks on top of JSON have never really take off. There have been many schema systems available for 10 years now but for some reason everyone seems to fall back to accepting basic JSON. There is a place for this stuff but only in very limited areas. Hopefully it does not go too far, for example like Microsoft did with SOAP. I still have nightmares from work decoding completely wrong XML generated by the native SOAP XML generators in old C# banking apps.
Quick googling yields this - https://www.webmd.com/mental-health/news/20180508/doctors-su...

It's not specifically about ER doctors. Anecdotally, I'm a lawyer, and they warned us in law school that lawyers have abnormally high rates of substance abuse and depression, and constant jokes to the contrary not withstanding, most lawyers believe they do good. Emotionally hard jobs are hard, even if they are indisputably good.
We have a spillway with same beaver situation. Damn aggravating things if you ask me. Actually I think the beaver family we hosted for 20+ years may have moved on as I haven’t seen them or their work in years.
Some comments to the results:

- Production was very limited in Q2 as the Freemont factory was completely down for quite some time. Getting the delivery count they managed, was a small miracle, of course helped by the ramping up Shanghai factory. So making still a profit is a great result. If the factory does not get closed down in Q3, sale numbers should be quite a bit better.

- Yes, they certainly moved all profits they could legally book into Q2 to help the numbers, that is a quite normal practice, the booking rules set clear limits to what is possible.

- Tesla won't make huge profits however good the business will be going, as they are investing a lot into growth. They are still extending the Shanghai factory, building the Berlin factory and just announced in the earnings call, that they are starting to build the next factory in Austin, Texas. Tesla is going from 1 factory in 2019 to 2 in 2020 and possible 4 at the end of 2021.
I'm conflicted.

On the one hand, this looks way too complicated, and I predict web devs are going to be confused and getting this stuff subtly wrong for the next decade or more. CORS was bad enough, but this looks worse.

On the other hand, processors are completely broken and I genuinely don't see a better alternative.
For me it's less about content than missing out on real conversation about difficult topics.

I know this isn't everyone's experience but I started undergrad at a small state school in Denver, and had great diverse interactions in philosophy and literature courses because of how many different walks of life people came from.

It's hard to have honest and deep conversations on video. I don't think many would contest that.

Maybe it's not just video though. I feel we're lacking the social tools to deal with our situation, something educators could perhaps provide.
My favorite feature is the SSH-as-account instead of the usual email/password combo! I'm definitely going to check this out. Down with passwords!
The desire for premium usernames isn't unique to Twitter, there was a good Reply All episode that dived deeper in the motivations of people who will pay for those accounts: https://gimletmedia.com/shows/reply-all/v4he6k

Also most accounts don't belong to famous people so I think you overestimate the willingness of Twitter to devote resources to do anything for most hacked accounts.
I was sad to discover that Minesweeper is no longer bundled by default with Windows.
I'm not sure how oop and sql would be the same thing - they are famously incompatible (object/relational impedance mismatch). UML is just a graphical notation, I would agree it doesn't make sense as a separate course.

When you say algorithmics and mathematics, do you mean all of computer science and all of maths? Do you think a single course should cover, say, Dijkstra's algorithm and partial differential equations?

Usually, each course already covers a wide array of concepts. I can't think of a single concept that was explored by different bits in different courses. The closest I can think of are 2 courses I had, one of which was focused on analytical solutions for linear algebra (matrices), and the other focused on numerical solutions to the same problems. Even then, the split did make sense, since they were focused on different concepts (mathematical objects, their properties and how to work with them in the first case, computation and more applied mathematics solutions for the second).
There are not hordes of people on Reddit watching intensely disturbing child pornography. The gore stuff maybe (although r/wpd was banned), but still I think any normal person, even the person who was occasionally on r/wpd, would be extremely traumatized by watching anything involving children. Which to be honest is probably a lot of the content discussed here, as sick as it is.

If anything 99.99% is probably underestimating it, especially for larger companies. If you send 10 million JSON documents per day, have 100 devs, and devs on average inspect 1 JSON document on the wire once per week, you're looking at closer to 99.9999%. Let's say that a binary format saves on average 10ms over JSON, then those 10m documents represent slightly over a day of overhead.

If you've got good built in tooling for payload visualization, then you might have minimal overhead to debug from a text like format. Both protobufs and flatbuffers (not to mention BSON), have good tools that spit out JSON equivalents.
Fair enough. And it's been awhile since I played Dominion, I forgot about the ABC aspect of a Dominion turn and how that's kind of similar to energy points.

2020 to date - ~$1 Billion

So I actually went ahead and decided to build "curriculum" that I would be happy to study, instead of trying to take potshots at the idea. For reference, I'm a to-graduate-undergrad who's studied a pretty theory CS-heavy course curriculum. I work [in terms of research] in compilers, formal verification, and dabble with some NLP on the side. I personally find knowing pure math, theory CS, and algorithms/data structures (the ones that are derided often here on HN as "leetcode") to be an _insane_ force multiplier.

If I had to recommend online courses, here are the ones I would recommend. Unfortunately, one does not get access to exercises and folks who are willing to verify your work. Math.stackexchange is unfortunately far more active than cstheory.stackexchange. I don't really know of an effective way to "bootstrap" this, except for implementing a lot of the things that show up in computer science.

I'm collecting links of courses that have videos, lecture notes, and exercises, which I would be happy to learn from [or have learnt from in the past].

I was expecting a static binary when I downloaded the CLI, but I got a huge load of node.js files and modules. Consider packaging your node.js application up, I haven't tried it but https://github.com/nexe/nexe looks promising.
Nope, backend if anything. For example, their new QLDB product uses it to get consistent hashing of documents on account of Ion being a canonical format.

A friend has recommended Coecke and Kissinger's book, Picturing Quantum Processes, which takes an alternative conceptual approach to quantum computation based on string diagrams (not-so-secretly a formalism for working with various flavours of monoidal category, as explained in the optional sections) instead of linear algebra.
