>However I think he could have explained this, instead of making some pithy remark about other people having wrong opinions or something.

That's hardly fair when you're talking in quotes. These are by-definition snippets taken out of context.

Actually I'll make a stronger statement: it's an absurd request. You can't just judge someone, and their mindset, based on a single random statement they made that somehow became popularly remembered across all the other million of statements they made. You have to at least make the effort to find a small body of work to judge by

Anyways, at least according to this guy[0], Ford likely never said it except as a joke.

The podcast Science Vs. described one patient who received an experimental vaccine and had severe (but not life-threatening) fever-like side effects including fainting, nausea/vomiting, chills, and lethargy/weakness:

> When I woke up, I woke up this was at noon the next day, I had to get up to go to the bathroom, on the way there I felt really nauseous and actually ended up throwing up in the bathroom and then I just collapsed. I remember waking up on the floor, though, and looking up and seeing the underside of the kitchen table, which was a very confusing sight

So by taking an experimental vaccine you're risking these sorts of side effects. In this particular study there were 45 participants and 3 had severe side effects of this nature.

Relevant to the conversation here are all the old comments on Hacker News about prior articles on the Bloomberg terminal, like "Ask HN: What's so great about the Bloomberg Terminal" [1]

GCHQ has a program called ROYALCONCIERGE, where they hack the reservation systems of hotels to watch for targets renting rooms. then GCHQ sends teams ahead of time to intercept the targets, preaumably to spy on them, or assassinate them or rendition them to a black site.

from another Snowden doc which i can no longer find, it was revealed that ROYAL CONCIERGE hacked hotels owned by Starwood, one of the biggest umbrella corps owning multiple global hotel chains.

you think NSA only went after Starwood hotels? remember NSA said their "Full Spectrum Domination" posture means "Collect It All."

you think if NSA/GCHQ are hacking into hotel reservation databases to exfiltrate the whole shebang, that Airline reservation systems are NOT a higher priority?

a commenter said it is ridiculous hypocracy how we blast China for forcing its tech companies to become appendages of their military/intelligence complex, while ignoring FBI/CIA/NSA do the very exact same thing under the rubric of NSLs and Bulk FISA Warrants and Business Records "All Tangible Things" and EO12333 get-out-of-jail-free cards to target anything loosely related to "understanding foreign intelligence."

there is zero difference between what China does and what the FVEYs do, except that our Overlords tell us they are not spying on us, while every peasant in China knows they are being spied on by their govt because the Chinese govt openly admits to it.
I could obviously not change the content of a GitHub url. Well, at least not for a reasonable cost and effort. But I can easily create a "curl this and execute it" line in a README.md and have it serve malicious code just to you.
Why? The reasoning seems fine to me.
> “It sometimes seems hard to believe that we humans have managed to explore so little of what we have so much of: the seas.”

Apparently fewer people have been to the bottom of the Mariana trench (between 11 and 12,732 km away from you) than to the moon (about 400,000 km away from you).
> they can't just shell anyone they want especially if the target is a third party that has done nothing wrong.

The reality is not that clear. A lot of what governs what these agencies can and can't do comes from executive branch policies. There is a lot of gray around what is "legal" and congress likes it that way because it keeps responsibility for allowing to much or not enough surveillance far away from them.

What's more, you cannot adjudicate what you don't know about and a lot of the secrecy in programs like this is just as much about keeping away civil libertarian attorneys as it is about confounding "the enemy". There's a reason the FISA court rules nearly 100% of the time with the state. Responding attorneys are rarely involved and when they are they are often hamstrung due to a lack of knowledge that prevents them from filing any kind of useful motion or raising serious opposition.
That is a good point about subcontractors, many times they end up being cheaper in the long run because they do it right (hopefully). When we were renovating my home I oftentimed worked with the contractors and asked questions. Hopefully it didn't annoy them too much, but it is a great way to learn from a professional!
The seventies crisis was an oil crisis, a supply problem.

If tomorrow the price of energy double you will get excessive inflation too because energy is related to everything. The way to control excessive inflation would be spending less in the economy. The way to reduce aggregate demand would be more taxes, higher interest rates, etc..

That doesn't mean that the cause would be the current spending level, only that the current spending level would not be appropriate anymore for the new circumstances.

The same reasoning works in the other direction. If there is not enough inflation, it means that the economy has underutilized capacity (currently the euro-area for instance).

In that case, more fiscal deficit are necessary, otherwise you are creating unemployment and losing oportunities. That's impossible to do if you are constrained by how many Euros (or gold) you have. The quantity of gold is not related in any systemic way to the real economy. If you insist in managing your economy with an arbitrary constrain like gold (or Euros) you lost the capacity to give the proper fiscal response to the situation at hand.

Don’t worry, every time we’ve had to or chosen to do anything to the newer houses we’ve owned it’s been a constant series of discoveries about how out-of-square everydamnthing is. We level something perfectly and... it’s nowhere near matching what’s already there. Even the doorways go out of alignment in a just a few years, if they don’t start that way.

As an example of what exchanges charge for licensing the data (not including a feed for the data, just a licence to use it) I have to pay £18k/year just for a London Stock Exchange licence. Then I have to pay for the feed.

Charging for access to the data feed seems fair enough, but licensing the data? For a company that has a monopoly over what I consider public data £18k is outrageous.

replying “Whataboutism” is just a reductive way to defend “hypocrisy” in a geopolitical context. which is worse? Not being aware of the similarity and replying “whataboutism”, or being aware of the similarity just gaslighting and deflecting with whoever pointed out the hypocrisy?

most of these observations are very valid

just because you coincidentally respect the due process that reaches a result, doesn’t mean that it is a functionally different or better. its only indoctrination and pure happenstance to whatever you were exposed to first.

Yup, I agree with that characterization. I also think that this is why a lot of people feel like PMs do nothing. Ironically it most frequently appears that PM isn't doing much when things are going really well (effortless execution) or really badly ("wtf are all of these meetings?").

While I kind of agree, I think it goes against the culture of exclusivity. Generally speaking, goods that are valued because they are exclusive are not strategically better off by making that product accessible to more users.

Anyone who follows politics knows the only way you're getting nominated to the Supreme Court by a Republican president is if you've been doing the Heritage Foundation, Values Voters circuit. There's no way they're going to pick some Harvard professor over someone who's been hobnobbing donors for decades.

The Bloomberg Terminal is an ultrafast dumb machine connected to the best financial information and news system. When I worked there many many years ago, they did not send data to the terminal (think frontend client). Instead, they sent draw commands so that the actual data could not be snooped on.

My take on this is that old saw - the great ideas seem like bad ideas to most other people.

We are already in a surveillance society, and it is not going away, so it needs to have benefits for us or it is just dystopia all the way.

At the moment the average school leaving age in the UK just became 21 as now 59% of leavers attend university. We are educated / trained for the first 1/4 of our lives - but the remaining 3/4 ? We need life long learning but that does not happen in a classroom - it's most effective right at the moment we need it - and what delivery mechanism exists - there is one in every pocket.

And it's not good to anyone just to straight up insult other posters. Honestly, I am happy for folks to disagree but try and figure out why you disagree with me - express your thoughts.
How is this interesting?

Any old school travel agent can look up names and follow their travel history anyway? (No matter how it is booked btw)

Exactly. The accuracy made me laugh.
It seems like essentially confirmation bias in action—the author notices crappy modern houses, but ignores great ones, and vice versa for old houses. Many of their complaints about modern houses do resonate for me, but for cheap suburban tract housing. For example, most suburban houses seem to have tiny windows. I suspect this is because windows that insulate to modern standards are expensive.

My city is full of many 100+ year old houses, and I looked at a lot of them last year when I was buying a house. Around here, you get big lovely windows (that you will spend a fortune to replace with double-paned ones), no insulation, and a layout that ranges from totally bizarre to serviceable, but inefficient. In the early 1900s, heating systems were very inefficient, so people wanted lots of small rooms with doors, so that you could heat only the room you're in. This is no longer necessary, and most homes have newer, efficient furnaces, but you're stuck with the old layout. In old homes, the kitchen was a tiny, functional space, rather than the gathering space like it is now. I thought it was rather funny they showed a big beautiful kitchen with an open floor plan. These are not common in 1900s homes.

I've lived in a mix of modern dwellings and older ones, and the simple truth is each have their advantages. Overall though, I'd say modern dwellings have better layouts and insulation, but cheaper finishes that you will despise looking at after a few months. Older houses have lovely details, but they're likely all worn out in various ways (my glass doorknobs are beautiful, but also very wobbly and loose), and layout was probably great 100 years ago, but doesn't conform to modern living styles.
> I've never lived in a home like this but have been inside of a few of them, they're often dark and closed in and kind of creepy

I'm the author. I designed my house to have the enormous amounts of light that I found in older homes, that are often totally absent from new ones because of a reliance on electricity. You should see more of the "Colonials" that get built today. Many of them have zero windows on two sides (one side has the garage, the other merely has zero windows). There are numerous examples near me, this is right down the road: https://www.google.com/maps/@42.8408959,-71.6385114,3a,49y,3...

Those are dark and closed in. Many of the new homes I've been in, I had to turn on the light in the kitchen in the morning because they're so dark.

I have posted other examples before to Twitter, eg:

There is a lot of trading chatter on Discord. Predominantly the younger and more tech savvy investors (or should I call them traders?).
My point was that over the last 5-10 years, we have seen ZERO hobbyists create the Next Big Thing(tm) out of a kickstarter-like.

And, I would argue, for two good reasons.

1) When you think about things like the Homebrew Computer Club or the Tech Model Railroad Club, the point is that the membership were engineers. Yes, they were hobbyists, but they were already professionals in the field. Kickstarters don't seem to attract that engineering crowd.

2) Anybody with actual knowledge of hardware laughs at the amounts that kickstarters raise. Most engineering professionals can personally move the amounts of money that most kickstarters can raise.

The combination of the two is death for the Next Big Thing(tm) coming out of a kickstarter.

> There's considerable debate over whether humans can have a coherent idea before it is reduced into symbolic language, and it's not clear how you would distinguish this sequence of events, anyway.

This sounds like the thing that is so silly a person has to be very educated to believe it.

You know how I know that humans have coherent ideas before rendering it into symbolic language... because they do. The GPT-3 paper, itself, is a bunch of ideas that were formed and then rendered into symbolic language. Literally every new book/work/presentation that a person decided to write because they said to themselves "I have a great idea, I should share it with the world" comes from this.

GPT-3 doesn't even know when it thinks it has a new idea. Contrast this with humans, which have to go out of their way to communicate and promote their idea because they understand it's novel.
Or taking a different view that concurs with yours: investing in index funds or broad ETFs lets me match or beat most long-term investors with nearly zero effort. There's no need for me to waste my time reading "financial news" or developing super fancy HFT algorithms like some posters here have done. I just need to buy those index funds at my desired asset allocation and I'm good to go. Repeat until retirement. Very simple.

Granted, I do complicate things a little by insisting that I never sell anything I buy, not even for rebalancing, until retirement (otherwise I wouldn't be buying and holding in my eyes). However, I get around that by constantly rebalancing with new money [1].

Honestly, I find it rather jarring that as someone who usually frequents /r/personalfinance and Bogleheads, I see lots of investing suggestions on HN that do not involve indexing.

> So I have to ask: where does this information come from?

Half-remembered university courses from >= 10 years ago, I'm afraid. I now think I was probably thinking of ASP, not Datalog. See for example the "Disjunctive logic programs" section of https://www.cs.uni-potsdam.de/~torsten/Lehre/ASP/Folien/asp-.... Since the syntax is very Prolog/Datalog-like, I probably got mixed up. My bad, sorry. The first few sources on Datalog I looked at only talked about Horn clauses, not ones with more heads.

> My understanding is that without definite clauses (and "p,q:-r" is not definite) there are no fixpoint semantics and without fixpoint semantics there is no guarantee of program termination.

Skimming https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Answer_set_programming and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_model_semantics I get the impression that even disjunctive logic programs appear to always terminate, though the complexity might be daunting.

Such a mapping would not be feasible, for several reasons.

* There are more kana than English letters. You can see that there are numbers paired with kana, keys in the bottom-right with two kana, and on this particular keyboard, ヲ (wo) appears to be omitted.

* Broadly speaking, each kana represents a pair of sounds: one of ten consonants plus one of five vowels. You will have English consonants with no real Japanese counterpart, and Japanese consonants with fewer than five appropriate English counterparts.
