The problem here is that when an "investor" "earns" a rate of return due to capital gains, we ought to recognize that these gains are not due to capital performing useful work (e.g., capital used to found a business) but are the result of speculation. Whether the speculation is long-term or short-term is immaterial. Because of this, aside from the company's IPO, stock market "investment" ought to be discouraged in favor of useful investment. Therefore I see no reason to tax capital gains at a rate lesser than that of income.
Cancelling a public right of way is not easy. If it were, most of them would have disappeared years ago because land owners don't usually appreciate them being there. By the sound of it, the current signage is hardly enticing. But it's an interesting question whether someone might potentially be liable.
Totally. I want that walker for my woodland, because it looks a lot less damaging to the soil (less soil disruption / compaction). The other thing is it would be nice for climbing to spots that don’t have easy road access. This way you can pick a few trees without devastating a whole area just to reach them.

> given that you appear to identify as part of "the right".

What leads you to believe this? Because I'm asking probing questions about the left? Is asking questions in order to learn a trait of someone on the right, and not the left? Big if true, and I'm surprised that you're promoting this viewpoint.

> To suggest such a thing is closed minded.

First of all, this doesn't follow from any evidence in the discussion so far. But to accuse me of this also ignores the most important word in my sentence, whose formatting you've stripped: "inherently". I was saying that the way to become part of an "inherent" outgroup (i.e. not contingently) is to be morally wrong. But I did not say that LGBT is part of an inherent outgroup. In fact I said literally the exact opposite thing: I said that LGBT is not part of the outgroup of the left, implying that they're not somehow inherently an outgroup. I'm not even sure that there's any such thing as an inherent outgroup; I used the phrase only as part of a counterfactual attempt to derive meaning from your original claims.

It's very frustrating to discuss anything with people who insist on deliberately (as far as I can tell, since I assume a certain baseline reading comprehension from HN commenters) misinterpreting my words, such as by dropping important qualifiers from parenthetical, counterfactual claims and then presenting the resulting manufactured sentence as if I had expressed it as a sincerely held belief! How can you justify such behavior in the pursuit of truth?

----

I can't reply any deeper, but here's my response:

You:
> inherent in an outgroup

What I actually said from the very beginning:
> inherent outgroup

You:
> You are now claiming that lgbt people are not an outgroup of the left

What I actually said from the very beginning:
> The left is universally supportive of LGBT rights.

You:
> To suggest moral failings due solely to being a member of an outgroup is prejudiced and closed minded.

What I actually said from the very beginning:
> I don't think it [being morally wrong] applies to LGBT

In each of these cases, why do you feel it is a useful conversational practice to lie about what I said, when thanks to the power of the internet it's right there for anyone to see? Or is the conversation so emotionally difficult that you honestly believe that I've made claims which are the exact opposite of what I actually said?

Either way, I don't think this conversation is going anywhere. I hope you too find peace.

---

I see you wish to continue the conversation. I too think I have something useful to say about your new claims. However, I cannot continue with the conversation unless you repudiate and delete all of your claims about what I've said and allow my words alone to speak for me. On what other grounds could I possibly continue the conversation?! Until you do that I can only assume you wish to continue in bad faith.
Hmmm.

I build visualizations and dashboards from time to time, mostly to scratch my own itch / answer questions, but sometimes people have found them to be useful.

For example there are dashboards to track the progress of certain tech debt we are resolving, like replacing icons (oh god that looks horrible on mobile [0]). On the process side of things, we have a lot of people reviewing code and I built this dashboard where you can see the availability of reviewers and how much reviews they have done in the past days. This might help distribute load and also allow reviewers to see when they are doing too much [1].

When we were hiring more last year, we actively looked into improving our hiring experience. That was a group effort, but Training other folks to do technical interviews was very insightful and contributed back to our process.

Tech stack wise there are a few skeletons in the closet. Generally once you start digging, you find a lot of weird things. We work together to define metrics in order to assert which improvements have the highest impact. Always important to go in the right direction, little steps, and verify that you are going in the right direction. For example we focused on decreasing our JavaScript that is loading on every page, until we realized CSS cruft was blocking Rendering more than the JavaScript. Then we switched focus to that. Now after we identified what to fix, we focus on the JS again.

Hi Sean Allen here. Pony core team member. Friends with Sylvan since 1988.

Sylvan is still involved with Pony but he doesn't contribute directly to the codebase these days.

Microsoft isn't involved with Pony- it's still an all-volunteer project. A number of people associated with/working on Pony are also part of the Verona project from Microsoft Research.

There's a lot of cross fertilization going on between Verona and Pony. A number of interesting ideas from Verona will probably find their way back into Pony (although many of them are "below the covers" so folks probably won't be aware).

The current Pony core team can be seen here:

So this is basically a CPU with an upper bound on the horrible cases. That's useful for real time. A standard test for real time is to run a hard real time OS like QNX, and have a simple program which receives an interrupt from an input pin and restarts a high priority task that's waiting for the interrupt. The high priority task turns on an output pin. You hook the input and output pins to an oscilloscope. You want to see all the output spikes about the same distance from the input spikes. You don't want to see output outliers way out there, late. If you see that, it's not a hard real time system. You can do this with a standalone program to test the CPU by itself, but you really need to test it when the CPU is also doing other things.

Sources of CPU-level trouble include 1) rarely used CPU instructions that run slow microcode, 2) cases where the pipeline needs a total flush and that's slow, 3) the board manufacturer doing something in system management mode and not telling you. Drivers locking out interrupts too long is the usual Linux problem.
It's assumed that all real time code is locked in memory; you do not page real time processes.
Show HN: Pearesh – Share disposable posts/images
I had the same thought. At some point, loading employees up with structured activities and obligations that aren't entirely related to doing their job becomes counterproductive. It can be a sign that the company has lost focus.

My favorite onboarding process was to simply give the person's team a budget to do whatever they wanted with the new hire for a day or two, then get to work. Managers would write up a document with all account info, login info, key communication info, and then let the teams fill the new person in on the day-to-day details while they went out to lunches or went go-karting or whatever they wanted.

The more HR tries to structure things, the less effective it becomes at onboarding people. Let the teams handle it and make them responsible for getting the person up to speed quickly. They're closest to the work, and therefore they know best what the person actually needs.
I honestly kinda like time seeming to pass faster... Time going slow tends to imply a negative experience for me. Faster, faster!
It's not a data sovereignty issue. This is strictly about sharing a space allotment, not where it is stored.

I'm going to guess it has to do with billing since Google, and especially the Play store, is pretty preoccupied with what country you are in.
I disagree with the assertion, prior to your edit, that the complaint was necessarily unwarranted.

But regardless, the reactions in the comments here are verging on hysterical - references to McCarthy, and even Stalin and Mao.

I've already said there is nothing inherent in an outgroup that makes someone morally bad. Repeating that assertion doesn't make it anymore true. Repeating it while accusing me of misinterpreting you is ironic.

You seem to be redefining terms at random. You are now claiming that lgbt people are not an outgroup of the left, but you only recently added that qualifier. Changing your argument mid-conversation and then accusing me of misunderstanding you is, shall we say, bad manners.

The right considers lgbt people to be morally wrong. This makes the right intolerant. The left does not. This makes the right more intolerant than the left. That's the entire argument. Everything else you're saying is distraction.

Note that "outgroup" never appears in this argument. The relationship between outgroups and morality was your invention.

> First of all, this doesn't follow from any evidence in the discussion so far.

It follows from the definitions. To suggest moral failings due solely to being a member of an outgroup is prejudiced and closed minded.

> What leads you to believe this? Because I'm asking probing questions about the left?

Because you take attacks on the right personally, and intentionally misinterpret arguments that you feel pain the right negatively or paint the right well.
The article makes a few interesting points, but fails to make the distinction between the two modes in which one can assess the slowness of time: in the moment, and looking back.

Doing something dull, repetitive, routine will seem to take a long time in the moment. However, looking back it won't leave the impression of a lot of time having pased, as your brain will compress similar experiences into one.

The article argues for trying to slow down time looking back (which makes sense to me), but some comments in this thread (bringing up things like meditation) are talking about slowness it the moment.
Windows has some sort of P2P update distribution system, although (1) I don't know that it is bittorrent and (2) it seems to be massively slower than just using MSFT's servers directly, so I'd suggest disabling it. On the order of 100x slower.

Hello all,

Had more time recently to focus and get Pearesh to a respectable stage.

Fundamentally, Pearesh is a tool to share disposable posts/images. Posts automatically get deleted after a few months. Post default setting’s timed; think Snapchat/IG stories but without requiring registration/accounts [utilizing single-use codes].

Data collection by Pearesh is kept as anonymous as possible, there are no third party analytic scripts (e.g. Google Analytics), or any user information selling/lending. Pearesh does utilize AWS services - including but not limited to web hosting and CDN.

Additionally, an optional byproduct and sprinkle on top, you can create a column (category or theme of posts) and have people subscribe for a newsletter-based aggregated feed without requiring an account. Just a simple email confirmation.

Of course, for long term storage there are better alternatives.

Any questions, suggestions or criticisms welcomed.

Edit: adjusted to accommodate scott31's comment

What do the authors even imagine success to be, here?

At least some approximation to the hype surrounding GPT-3 -- which seems to be "near-human lucidness nearly all the time".

Sometimes they deliberately describe a surreal situation, then penalize GPT-3 for continuing it in an identically surreal manner

In the spirit of "not even wrong" - GPT-3's answers were, sorry to say, "not even surreal". Far too often, they were just complete gibberish - with no amusement value, let alone sublime literary value (that would go along with the description of "surreal"). Which was precisely Marcus's critique.

There is the real issue of people holding onto illiquid assets which are difficult to monetize. E.g, the phrase "land rich, cash poor" comes to mind. Selling off small portions of land, or renting out a bedroom at a time, are difficult for logistical or regulatory reasons.

Not that I disagree with your sentiment. Just, there are non-trivial problems w.r.t. taxing wealth, as opposed to taxing income (which is probably already being paid in fungible, liquid, dollar bills).

Netflix has unlimited vacation. It works well because they encourage people to take vacation, starting at the top. The CEO always makes a big deal about how he's taking 1-2 weeks off at a time, and encourages all the VPs to do the same.

Not all unlimited vacation cultures are bad. The best way to find out is to ask how much vacation the CxOs took and how much vacation the hiring manager took. If they can't answer that, then be concerned.

I don’t believe it’s the case for the Chinese phrase in the original post, given that it’s such a basic filler word that is ingrained in the minds of all speakers. In the case of the Norwegian word, which actually has the same etymology and definition, with just a connotation that differs regionally, I think people can’t plead ignorance in good faith once they are made aware of the modern global context. This is especially true of any “holdouts” after the word becomes taboo.

NVIDIA and Ericsson are already working on leveraging GPUs for 5G:

This effort is certainly driving a reduction in jitter which is currently an issue with many realtime GPU applications.

Hi,

Excellent question. I can't address "healthy or active" as those would really be your own metrics to decide.

We have a lot of things going on including:

Work on a new dependency manager: https://github.com/ponylang/corral

Work on an installation tool to make it easier to get started with Pony: https://github.com/ponylang/corral

A lot of work has gone into making our release process across projects much easier to deal with as it was problematic before.

Joe, a core team member, has been working on ideas to address problems that we've seen folks experience with Pony. He has a semi-functional experimental compiler that will hopefully see the light of day eventually.

We've been working on some runtime improvements that will eventually see the light of day.

Most of the work that goes on these days is in repos other than the ponyc repo that most people tend to look at.

In the end, the important thing to know is that Pony is a volunteer driven project and thus, moves at a different timeline than something like Go or Rust with a lot of backing.

Those of working on Pony are doing it because we believe that in the long run, the time we put in outside of our jobs will be worth it. But our timeline is probably a lot longer than other folks.

I think video generation for other media types is definitely getting some legs these days. This is a great start for music/podcasts.

There are so many directions you could take it, but generally I suspect it will be hard to offer the "right" amount of customization to end users. It may be easier to find product market fit by focusing in on a smaller niche.
Yeah a full AD doesn't make sense for us, as we only have a handful of Windows VM's and the rest is Linux. But if you're running an environment with 100's or 1000's of Windows desktops/servers you're probably stuck with AD if you want to be able to manage that lot.

I distinctly remember being a teenager and learning how bittorrent worked, thinking it's the coolest thing I'd heard of and laboriously explaining how it worked to a friend that sounded interested. At the end of the explanation he asked "So how do you download music with it?"

And I realized all he cared about was using it to pirate music.
