As an example from my personal experience, up until last year, Brazil required Americans to get a tourist visa. They also charged identical visa fees based on what Brazilians have to pay to visit the US as a tourist. On their website they made it plain that the whole motivation for the visa and fees was reciprocity. It stood out in my mind as funny because it seemed so petty.

You make your webpage have all logic client-side, and use standardized serverside API's (for example google datastore, or amazon s3).

Do not run any of your own application logic on the server - your javascript client should talk to the standardized datastore directly.

Then your users can see all the logic on their side, and inspect all the data, and if they want they can host the client side stuff themselves and run their own server.

Yes. There may be. But there's no solution cheaper or faster than letting someone else prove the market on your behalf. In our case, we have seen enough proof in the last few years: last mile delivery commodification, 50% of every $1 spent in food retail is convenience-driven, etc. We do not need to prove humans want food or that frustrated demand exists. What we need to prove is that we can supply it, cost effectively, profitably, at scale, with technology we uniquely design, manufacture and operate with a defensible lead.
Recap: The TikTok Saga and the Problems Facing This Massive Platform
A big difference and what hurt the most about this type of archives was that the powers that be mostly collected their data on you based on your close friends/work colleagues.

I was too young to have any Securitate records (I was 9 when the regime fell in '89) but I'm pretty sure both my parents have records in there. I wouldn't want to check them if I were to be in their shoes because I wouldn't want to know who of my friends or close work colleagues betrayed me to the Securitate.
I'm confused as to which statements you think are nonnsense. I count 5 statements in my post:

1. There exist studies of mental abilities

2. The mind is physical

3. The mind it's much more malleable than the musculo-skeletal system

4. The malleability of the mind makes analogies to the musculo-skelatal system fall apart quickly

5. The prevalence of African Americans in the NBA is likely a combination of both biological and social factors

My best guess is that you think it's nonsense that analogies between non-mental and mental abilities break down quickly because of the malleability of the human mind. If you feel that way, feel free to try and make some insightful inferences by analogy between physical abilities and mental abilities. I just don't think it's a fruitful avenue to explore.

For instance, I'm pretty sure there are plenty of naturally strong people who with 3 months training can bench press more than I could after 10 years of training. I doubt there many people out there who are smart enough to go from no computer training to programming better than your average 10 year veteran developer in 3 months. It's silly to use studies about weight training to make inferences about the effectiveness of mental training.

But, maybe you have other sorts of analogies in mind that make much more sense.

Edit: after looking up Debra Soh's book, it seems you've confused critique of arguments for critique of conclusions. I haven't made any statements one way or the other about if men and women differ mentally. I've just pointed out bad arguments. Faulty arguments don't necessarily even mean that the underlying reasoning is faulty. And faulty reasoning doesn't imply the conclusions are wrong.

I get this a lot, where people think I'm disagreeing with their conclusions just because I'm trying to get them to make better arguments and/or clean up their reasoning. I care less about this particular argument than I do about people learning to think and argue clearly. I get that it's a weird attitude, but I think the world is better off with us all reasoning and arguing better.

Hmm. But what if the Chinese use Tik Tok or other social media companies to spread anti-American or pro-Chinese dystopia propaganda? We've seen how susceptible people are to disinformation, so should we trust an opponent (let's not pretend China isn't since we already tried to work with them) with social media applications in the US or west at large?

That's aside from, well, if you're going to ban and restrict US companies from spreading free speech then I just don't see why we should let China use our strength against us. Idk why people think that anybody (Americans included) will just always "choose Democracy" or w/e - we're clearly susceptible to mind infections and herd mentality toward really dumb ideas. China can use free speech in the US against us. We do need to protect against that.

At a minimum we need to make Chinese companies store their data about Americans within the US and it needs to be routinely audited.

As a person outside US I think the truth is more simpler,

TikTok is just the next step, I am expecting that all the bad things and Trump failures(no wall, COVID) will be blamed on China and after Trump will make China pay it will rain with money.

Maybe things are different in the UK, but in the US the only people with the time and money to be as choosy as you seem to be are the very privileged. Millions of people barely have their heads above water and they'll take the most efficient (in terms of time and money) calories they can get. Having the time to do the kinds of vetting you seem to do is a privilege itself. I hope the day comes where everyone has the means to be this conscious of their food, however, as I agree with your motivations (at least insofar as I understand them in an online post :P).
> How do we decide which person/entity gets a namespace? What about namespace squatting? What if there's a dispute?

My proposal is to give everyone a namespace corresponding to their crates.io username, so if I want to publish a JSON library, it would be "user/majewsky/json".

Everything not prefixed with "user/" is a shared namespace which is handled by a team of curators. If someone wants to publish into the shared namespace, they need to apply for a package name. So if I think my JSON library should be the standard, I could apply for having it aliased to "json" or "encoding/json" or whatever. The curators would be allowed to impose an overall structure in the shared namespace to aid those who browse it.

Crucially, the curators should have the right to revoke an existing lease. If someone publishes their JSON library into the shared namespace as "json" and then later down the line abandons the project, other community members should be allowed to apply to take over that name. Of course, existing releases would stay untouched, but if I stopped maintaining my JSON library at 1.3.7, someone else should be allowed to take that over and publish 1.3.8 or later.

I would also impose the limitation that 0.x versions are not allowed in the shared namespace. If you want a nice package name, you should be ready to commit to at least a somewhat stable interface.

It's not hard to imagine a Rust that works with namespaced crates. What is hard is finding a solution that's backward- and forward-compatible.

What's the motivation?
Sorry, I didn't see this the other day, I'm not really a power-user.

I guess if I could have any features I want, it'd be this:

* Topics, perhaps categorized by keywords.

Maybe, if someone uses the word "TensorFlow" I'd like to know if they have other posts that have scored well with that word in them.

* Similarly, I'd like to know what topics that user are more likely to post in. If a user only ever posts in threads that contain the word "SomeSmallStartupTheyAreClearlyShillingFor" then, I'd like to know that. I find that in practice. Algorithmically, I think its not too hard to separate these two categories and distinguish high-quality users, because the way posts can be scored here on HN.

Really though, I have been thinking about building something like this, maybe a service reading thousands of RSS feeds and keeping track of comment sections in blogs and forum threads, and just compiling these webs of influence for certain links. Like a search engine, except it'd be specialized for discovering high-quality conversations.

My favorite is Tom Fowdy on Twitter. Disclaimer: he leans towards pro China.

Here is what he said two weeks ago about how much happened in the past two weeks. https://twitter.com/Tom_Fowdy/status/1285845346447499265

"As I noted a while ago, the US is on a roll announcing 2-3 anti-China measures a week. There has been one roughly every two days. It's just non-stop

-Closes the Chinese consulate in Houston

-Charges two nationals for hacking

-Adds more companies to the entity list over Xinjiang

-Bans federal contractors buying from Huawei

-Ups ante in the South China sea

-Blacklists officials

-Removes Hong Kong's special status

-Daily Cold War rhetoric from Pompeo

-Restricts Chinese student visas

-Ends fulbright scholar program Hong Kong

-Contemplating banning TikTok

Most of the above is in the past TWO WEEKS alone."
This is such a "peak HN" kind of response.

I've been working with scheduling and project management tools for 20 years -- not just MS Project (widely regarded as the idiot cousin of the market, honestly) but also things like Primavera.

There's no reason to have a "manual" task in a scheduling tool.

First, if you have a task that can't move, you set it with a deadline and watch your deadline (as well as watching to see if the task moves PAST the deadline). Cementing the task in place doesn't help you; in fact, it actively HURTS you because it hides the fact that your forecast path isn't valid anymore.

Second, these tools ALSO include the idea of constraints. Scheduling tools include the idea of constraints which limit the critical path motion according to specific rules (based on the type of constraint in play).

Using ANY constraint, though, is frowned upon in serious scheduling circles precisely BECAUSE they distort the predictive ability of a critical path schedule. If Task C has a hard deadline of 1 Sept, then you watch you critical path to see if that remains possible. As tasks slip, you stay on top of the chain of tasks to seek opportunities to streamline or reduce scope ahead of critical task so that the deadline can be met.

(Guess what? It's not always possible.)

And you do this because you SEE that the schedule shows Task C moving to the right.

If you lock the task in place, odds are you won't notice that your critical path is collapsing.

The tl;dr is that cementing a task in place in a critical path schedule is not a good way to model deadlines. This is something any competent scheduler will tell you. It's part of the PMBOK, it's built into DoD scheduling guidelines, etc.

Isn't it more like someone from the leaders of the tribe did something so we are holding leadership of the tribe responsible, given the extent that private companies are really extensions of the government?

Plea deals means that most people never have their guilt proven, only that they are strong armed into confessing so that harsher punishment isn't given. This is already the norm in any country that practices plea deals.

It is unambiguous. Neither interpretation says that the bug is newer than nine years vintage.

> Interesting that you and another commenter interpreted "9 year old bug" to mean "bug discovered 9 years ago".

In an unusual moment of reduced cynicism, I too interpreted it as that the bug was newly (or at least recently) discovered whcih does appear to be the case this time.

It could easily have been a bug discovered that long ago that was for some reason marked WONTFIX (the danger not appreciated, that bit of code was at that time due to be deprecated RealSoonNow, ...) or CANTREPRO.

On the very large programs I'm typically involved in, it's unusual to have a perfect resource pool like you describe. It's MORE likely that the whole thing is scheduled with job codes, and the labor pool is treated as elastic with additional people brought on as needed to fill roles as Electrical Engineer II or whatever.

Generally speaking, you can schedule just fine with partial resources as long as your project doesn't need more of a given resource at any given time than can be allocated to it. Really big construction projects and really big government (defense) contracts work like this.
Hi,

Congratulations on your new role. Are you joining a team, or are you the team? If you're joining a team, then you'll probably use what they're using and learn their tooling before you could endeavor to improve it.

You're doing it in a professional context, so it will be Python. Many blog posts and articles on popular medium websites address shiny new things, but most of these posts address one of two scenarios: portfolio/toy projects, a project with one individual working on it, a project with data that fits on disk and RAM, and/or a Kaggle project where a good part of the heavy lifting has been done for you (data acquisition, cleaning, feature engineering, metric identification) which never happens in real life because that's what you're hired for in the first place.

A big problem in this field is the fragmented tooling and experience, which means you have to weave tools together, unless the team you're joining has it figured out and have internal tooling dialed in. Python dominates. I'm sure other languages are used at other ML shops (we have used Scala in some of our projects) but I think in your situation, there's no need to complicate things.

Then again, that is just an opinion. It is not the right answer. The goal is to deliver value.

All the best,

Just wow
This seems to strike a good compromise as "third party" commands are "lines" type which is basically what we are used to send and receive in unix tools. Of course a lot of tools already support emitting JSON so it seems the Crush is already more useful than the typical unix shell as you can still use "lines" for every program (and convert to a table by parsing if you want to use the more advanced features) and there are already a number of third-party programs that you take directly take advantage of these feature with even though they didn't know anything about this shell.

I think the fact that you can already use this with most programs and it is never less powerful than bash seems like good indication that the system doesn't need to be reworked around this shell. It fits in cleanly to existing paradigms.
