> He suggests that people will indeed do nasty things on a mass scale if they are convinced that it is for the greater good. It was not inherent nastiness that led to the Holocaust, Bregman suggests, but years of indoctrination.

For your last point about people in poverty, I would point out that the global poverty has gone down dramatically during capitalism's reign, and generally overall humanity has been toward helping poor countries and poor in their countries. Is there enough social protection for everyone? No. That does not invalidate the article's points. The fact that humans do not achieve perfect or near perfect does not mean we are not generally good.
We seem to be running afoul of the is-ought problem here. I'm not talking about how things ought to work. I'm inclined to agree with you on that front, but it's also not the concern I'm raising. I'm saying that this craziness strikes me as an indication that how things are actually working may not be how they ought to work. Or at least not how they ought to work according to the advice that's being given to countless retail investors.

From the units of measurement falsehood list[0]:

>Heterogenous units are of no practical use. (Radar beam height formula uses a constant expressed in nautical miles per foot)

Constants in formulas can be expressed in any unit system you want. What the author means to say is that one formula they saw in one textbook used nautical miles per foot. The "radar beam height formula" is not specific to any particular unit system.

Printing papers out is a great way to let your optic nerve do the work so you can save your short term memory for comprehension rather than simply recalling what the symbols are.

I absolutely love printing out shortish papers single sided and sticking every single page in order on a poster board or wall. Our eyes are made for flicking from one thing to the next, it works really well. And also highlighting and other note taking is much more direct and intuitive in this format. I also discovered I prefer a columnar format.

if I had a monitor that could display 18 pages at once at 12-14pt and was as easy to annotate as using a pen or marker then maybe I wouldn't do this, but I don't.
The alternative is ansible. Everybody I know moved away from Chef to Ansible and never looked back.

Historically there were 4 main configuration management tools: puppet/chef/ansible/salt.

The first two faded away. They're unarguably not the most usable and require to program in ruby. The next generation ansible/salt came out and arguably did better on every aspect.

I think it's fair to say that ansible is the safe standard (redhat acquired it few years ago, they maintained and extended it pretty well). Ansible is very easy to use and to integrate in anything as long as you have SSH access.

The only downside of ansible is that it can get slow with thousands of hosts to manage (gotta establish SSH connections). Salt can do better with large amount of hosts.

It might just be that the production of vitamin D via sunlight has other effects on the body, perhaps vitamin D has been a proxy for those effects but for obvious reasons taking it as a supplement doesn't trigger the same outcome.

It's unfortunate that exposure to UV is so harmful, I'm left wondering if trials using UV lightboxes to stimulate vitamin D production would change the kinds of outcomes (cancer, heart disease, depression...) we're expecting it to .

He was accused of initiating sex without using a condom following an explicit request for him to use a condom. The High Court judged that this action certainly constituted rape under UK law. It is also a crime under Swedish law (though I don't know how different levels of sexual assault / rape are classified in Sweden).

It's always surprising to see just how grubby Assange's defenders are willing to get, up to and including rape apologism.

Dangerous for who, though?

It was the founders who were supposedly acting against the Belarusian government, and the employees who are paying the price. The founders are safe in San Francisco.

My outrage is certainly directed at Lukashenko, but the commenter above us may have a point about whether it was responsible to be acting against a dictator while your employees are subject to his government. It's a tough situation.

> With bare metal, are you not just paying more for staffing to maintain it?

People always say this as an argument against bare metal servers, but aren't you still have that staffing cost even if you're using a cloud provider? Cloud servers are more reliable than bare metals, but certainly not 100% sla yet. Shit happen regardless of using cloud or bare metal and we'll have to prepare for it regardless whatever type of servers we used.

Most issues I had with both cloud and bare metal servers are usually connectivity issues, which addressed by the vendors or data center operators with me doing nothing but refreshing status page rigorously. I never have hardware issues but it's probably because I always retire old servers after 4 years of operation.
I've used Zapier a fair amount and I wrote an article about Airflow so I have a fairly good understanding of that too.

I would never really consider them alternatives though? To me Zapier is a low/no code tool that offers a bazillion integrations and Airflow is a workflow orchestration tool.

So comparing to both of them confuses me and I guess choosing one would give you a more nieche audience but one that you can connect better to as well.
I started programming when I was a wee lad, and never stopped. Speaking as one of those insufferable "whiz kids" of the 80s, I say this: any path to discovering the wonders and joys of this technology is equally good. If you aren't a programmer, no matter what your age or background, now is a great time to start.
I agree. I was hoping for some lessons or takeaways though, but maybe there is so much luck and randomness involved that it’s hard to generalize. But was it really the best choice to leave an area with other cars and people and rangers around and hike through the woods, camping overnight so close to a fire? Seems crazy, although maybe the chance of getting trapped would have been higher if they didn’t do that. Glad everyone seemed to get out out ok though.
> Its why for going on 200 years there has always been a movement to "fix" society through government that never actually seems to get much of anywhere.

I'd say this is just a convincing argument that we can't leave it to government to fix society then.

With respect to your points about capitalism. Yea sure. I think that to create a society that better respects the rights of workers and ensures that people live good lives. You'll see countries that are considered even more capitalistic than the US like the Nordics have really good government that they vote for and participate in, and they have great protections for workers. But they also pay for those things with higher taxes. The issue in the US is just that we don't believe the government can effectively do those things (and for decent enough reasons) so we just sit in this vicious cycle. Nobody wants to fix things.

> there is a reason the US was founded to have an electorate of white, land owning men.

Well there's a few reasons, but part of why we have a republic instead of a direct democracy is because the founders were worried about mobs of uneducated voters causing the government to do really dumb things. At the time the only educated people were white, land-owning men. If you can't trust your fellow citizens right now to vote, then I'm not sure why you'd trust them with even more power. To me it seems day in and day out I'm more and more convinced Americans shouldn't even be allowed to vote on account of how many dumb decisions we make. We don't deserve a republic or democracy. Fat, lazy, entitlement mentality for far too many.
The $30 rental rate is not 'outrageous'. It's a commercial decision, perhaps an experiment, taking into account the current special circumstances: How much is a family willing to pay to see this in a cinema? It's more than $30 in total, so as they cannot do or decide not to go, let's then watch this movie for actually less than that but more than for a movie that is passed in release date. The 'market' will decide.

As for the cast, well they are Chinese and may not have the same opinion as the 'correct' opinion broadcast on Western media. I think this is not outrageous. This just shows that people in different countries see things differently. In this case I think that taking note and understanding Chinese people views on Chinese issues is more productive than being outraged.
> This is the crux of the matter here. Many believe that Tesla is a car company and should be treated as such. Investors [...] such as myself view it as a growing energy company.

I think it would be fairer to characterize Tesla as a growning energy startup. I can see the potential, but potential has to be realized, and Tesla is not the only startup working with solar and batteries.

In any case, the $450bn valuation dwarfs not just every other car maker, but also every other energy company.

$450bn is the combined market value of Toyota, VW, and Exxon.

The whole point of that Great Dictator's Speech is the beginning, the "I'm sorry, I don't want to be a dictator" part.

That's just as true today as it was in the bad old 1930s.

A sample size of of 2,000 impressions is absolutely useless. Even the larger example is completely useless.

I don’t even considering analyzing a campaign with less than 50k impressions, and I won’t look at a variable if it’s under 10k. Realistically I want a few hundred thousand impressions before trying to make big claims about fraud.
I disagree that it's "long dead". Keep in mind that Chef (the company) has several different products too...Chef Infra (traditional configuration management) has fallen out of favor and Ansible seems to be the popular choice these days, but there are still a lot of big Chef Infra shops (e.g. Facebook [0]) that have invested heavily into configuring their environments using Chef Infra, which would require a good bit of investment to switch tools.

Plus, they have been diversifying their products in recent years with things like Habitat (application packaging/deployment) and security/compliance tools (InSpec).

Ask HN: I have an idea,an implementation, users and want to invest.What is next?
I have been developing a side project for a couple of years and I mostly started it for fun, as a learning practice and to enlarge my developments portfolio. Of course I thought on monetize it if possible and dreamed on being my main income source but that was not the driver at all.

Now I have few users and some people approached me asking questions and I truly think the project could work. Also every now and then someone close to me says I should do something with this saying they could help in some way or another but I never get specific answers on how to make this work.

I know the project needs a complete reengineering to become commercial and although I can invest a good amount of time in it it will never be enough to make it start but I trust enough in the idea to be willing to put some money on it.

My problem is that I am a full time employee and I have always been, so I don't even know where to start. I guess my question is, what are possible ways to keep going with it?
I'm confused, why would a fraud bot click on ads that makes LinkedIn money? Normally ad-fraud is when a fraudulent publisher is set up, made to look legit, hosts ads, which a bot then clicks the hell out of. Where's the incentive here for a bad actor on LinkedIn?
Not all radio has adverts though.
If (honestly I've no idea) we can produce cameras that have a higher FPS than the display's refresh rate (or resolution), then we'd be able to detect that.

A simpler detection mechanism would be to use stereoscopic (or rather real depth detection) cameras though.
It's a deep problem with the web as we know it.

If I want to make a "scrapbook" to support a research project of some kind. Really I want to make a "pyramid" with a general overview that is at most a few pages at the top, then some documents that are more detailed, but with the original reference material incorporated and linked to what it supports.

In 2020 much of that reference material will come from the web and you are left with doing the "webby" thing (linking) which is doomed to fall victim to broken links or with archiving the content which is OK for personal use, but will not be OK with the content owners if you make it public. You could say the public web is also becoming a cess pool/crime scene, where even reputable web sites are suspected of pervasive click fraud, where the line between marketing and harassment gets harder to see every day.
I know you may have meant that tongue-in-cheek, but do you think they should fundamentally be valued as a traditional manufacturer or as a tech stock?
Nobody knows yet, but sunlight exposure causes the body to produce other things than Vitamin D, like nitric oxide (or similar correct me if I'm wrong here). It also affects circadian rhythms, so maybe people who get out more sleep better, maybe they are in better health from being more active, etc etc.
Expecting a journalist to somehow balance the evidence of misdeeds between a country's two ruling parties is bizarre, and not a standard any other news outlet was held to over the same period.

You might as well criticize prosecutors for not bringing charges against one Democrat each time they bring charges against one Republican.

What exactly did you expect to see in RNC leaks anyway? The utter collapse of a party apparatus being bulldozed by Trump? If anything, you'd see them working as hard against Trump as the Democrats worked against Sanders. Leaks from the RNC would benefit Trump. The Steele dossier was a Republican production, handed off to the Democrats when their primary ended. Bipartisan.

> coordinated with Roger flippin Stone, and Russia.

You're not making this up, somebody else did, but there's absolutely no evidence of this. Some of the odd circumstantial cases made for this even intentionally invert parts of the timeline. The largest and most advanced intelligence apparatus in the history of the world has been able to offer no evidence (and claims no evidence, just delivers summaries of the consensus of executives.) Roger Stone, Donald Trump, and Julian Assange must be the smartest people in the history of the world.

Wikipedia article for Siege of Chittorgarh (1567–1568)[1] to quote:

>> Rising pillars of smoke soon signalled the rite of jauhar as the Rajputs killed their families and prepared to die in a supreme sacrifice. In a day filled with hand-to-hand struggles until virtually all the defenders died. The Mughal troops slaughtered another 20-25,000 ordinary persons, inhabitants of the town and peasants from the surrounding area on the grounds that they had actively helped in the resistance.

Identical code, different name. I think chromium will even side load the closed source DRM module the first chance it gets.
Measurement is a transfer of a state information from a subsystem 'being measured' to a 'measurement device' caused by an interaction. (ie: a quantum bus is a measurement) Just like in a classical situation, further dynamics can depend on the final state in the measurement device. The only difference is that all measurement states will be involved in the quantum measurement device, and all possibilities of dynamics conditioned on the measurement are explored. At any point in the future the whole chain of events can be collapsed, if the measurement device interacts with a classical incoherent object.
