That's insider trading, but not Insider Trading™.

>In the United States and most non-European jurisdictions not all trading on non-public information is illegal insider trading. For example, a person in a restaurant who hears the CEO of Company A at the next table tell the CFO that the company's profits will be higher than expected and then buys the stock is not guilty of insider trading—unless he or she had some closer connection to the company or company officers. However, even where the tippee is not himself an insider, where the tippee knows that the information is non-public and the information is paid for, or the tipper receives a benefit for giving it, then in the broader-scope jurisdictions the subsequent trading is illegal.

It could also be from earth.

There is scientific evidence establishing that diatoms and other microorganisms are wafted up into Earth’s upper stratosphere and beyond 25–100 km above Earth’s surface.[1] From there, passing dust particles will transport a few of these microorganisms to the upper atmosphere of Venus.

Another transport route would be large meteoroids bombarding Earth with sufficient force to export Earth rocks and soil into interplanetary space.

This is fair. I started my comment by responding to each section, but I quickly realized that I wouldn't be able to make a constructive contribution.

First, the most important thing: Note that one of the responses to my original comment is feeling intense emotional relief at having some uncanny unease put directly into words. This is not the first time I've responded to this sort of article, and not the first time I've seen this sort of reply. I gather that it is difficult for folks to articulate the ambient horror of what this sort of writing is sketching.

Eugenics is recognizable from phrenology. They want to know why brain size matters and how to measure intelligence in different parts of the brain. They also want to know whether FAAH-OUT can make people happier and less sensitive to pain, and whether "extreme" human life extension is possible. They want to know how small the human race can get, and what the marginal utility of each additional person is. Indeed they ask whether utilitarianism isn't the ultimate ethical method.

Corporatism is most obvious in the framing. Various already-established consensus positions are turned into but-really or what-about questions, so that it seems as if climate change is not something that definitely exists, that we definitely could do something about, and that we definitely are not doing enough about. Corporations are portrayed as the leaders in innovation, while governments and the public are incompetent and slow to change.

Why do I say that these positions are tropes? Because I've read enough Dark Enlightenment literature to recognize its fingerprints, mostly. The authors are very slanted towards a meritocratic transhumanist utopia, where their very intelligent observations about the coming utopia will be rewarded with high stations and praise in the coming utopia. Meanwhile all of the implications about classism and injustice are carefully worded away so as not to be blatant and repulsive.

I recognize that you might not like my questions. But you also admit that they're substantive, and that's good enough for me. Honestly, they're barely my questions at all; each of them has been open for decades, I think. Maybe quantum computing is the most recent one to have something interesting happen, and that's changed our trajectory from asking "can we?" to "can we, bigger?" and "can we, cheaper?" and "can we, easier?"
For that price, you can buy a mid-spec hydraulic racing simulator from VRX. They even offer custom wraps, so you can get an Aston Martin themed model in British Racing Green.
All good points. All will fall on deaf ears.

With Brexit looming, the UK needs a trade deal with the US. They aren't in a position of power to demand something like this.

The issues with a sale of this nature were obvious when it was sold to Softbank, much like the trade issues with Brexit were obvious years ago too. The UK governments decided to ignore both.
Too late. ARM should not have been sold to SoftBank in the first place.

Not a lawyer, but there is a UK legal entity with the Arm name still. It might be owned by Softbank but that doesn't change the fact that it's an UK company bound by UK laws.

Alright. Now, let's say everyone is busy, and the maintainers have no time to review the patch. Who's going to remember that someone sent an email with some improvements a few months later? AFAIK There's no easy way to find all the emails with patches that weren't merged/(not) accepted/upvoted/downvoted/closed/etc. It's not easy to refer to the specific email; it's difficult to pinpoint the exact conversation around a specific change using git-blame. GitHub/Gitlab/etc. make all that a lot simpler.

Problem is that any changes to the databases need to be done on a single point of failure for your application. Any change that goes sideways, you risk downtime.

Counter this with code, where I can deploy code along side my existing code and make sure it functions as I want it. If something fails, I just remove that instance from the LB. You don't want to touch something that valuable during regular feature cycles. Databases should be altered rarely and with much apprehension and a well established backup/rollback plan.

I'm not saying you can't use constraints and stuff, but they should be really really static concepts that aren't subject to change. Unlike code, you can't share validation conditions across tables, so where you could update all the validation logic in a service with a change in one place, you have to update many tables in the database.

I would stay away from triggers entirely, and use a queue/stream system to process data async. This can be better prioritized when the DB is under heavy load.
I will say it's eerily similar to EasyDB (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21587935), including the API, but it only seems to work in Repl it

Exactly this is what I was thinking. We currently have a workflow engine that is event driven + a projection (think: CQRS), and it’s fairly unwieldy. Most specifically, the business logic is defined all over the place, and I was wondering whether a rule engine would make it easier to define the constraints and business logic to act upon these events.
I don't think Org-mode's export features are particularly great. I'm finding that when I do want to export something, it's sometimes easier to grab a parser in a language where I'm more comfortable rather than trying to mess around with Lisp and templates.

I'm sure if I was better at Lisp my opinion would be different. But if I was writing something and wanted to target LaTeX or pure HTML, I'm not sure I would use Org-mode as the source unless I was writing the converter myself. I think I'd just write in HTML/LaTeX directly.

That being said, I would probably still stick all of my notes, references, and TODOs for a scientific paper in Org-mode, and then use LaTeX just for the final paper. The fact that Org-mode can do text references like

* TODO Find facts about bees

Need more details at file:~/final.tex::And another thing about bees

References checklist:

- [ ] https://google.com
- [X] https://duckduckgo.com
- [ ] https://wikipedia.com

means that Org-mode ends up being more useful for me as a surrounding 'notebook' around my projects rather than as the core format I'm authoring everything in.

I think the decision on whether or not a company chooses to have a presence in urban centers vs suburban office parks reflects the age of people they want to hire (or have currently hired). Office location/style choice can be a subtle way to implement ageism one way or the other.
Softbank doesn't have to comply with US tech restrictions and isn't also a customer who could be given special treatment once the deal went through. Also since they're just a holding company they were less likely to move jobs out of the UK. I don't think the two situations are at all the same.
> I know more and am quicker (which surprises me) than I was when I was 25 (but maybe I was just really slow).

I think the difference isn't raw speed, it's efficiency.

I know every year I'm better able to stop before I go down too far on the wrong path to solving some problem, because I learned many times in previous projects how that type of solution would end up hurting me in the end.

So less time spent on fruitless efforts, more time spent on fruitful efforts, and in the end usually a better, more maintainable solution, to boot!
I think this is the rub. It depends on your definition of “capable.” While technically, it’s “capable” in the sense all Teslas have sensors they claim are enough, it’s not “capable” of using those sensors for self driving if there’s no code for it.
Apologies for getting your name wrong; it should be fixed now. I also made some other changes which I hope address the points you brought up. I didn't know about Windows 2000 layered windows, but I think the section on which systems had process separation was just confusingly worded.

Counting Intel, most (by number) desktop devices have pretty sophisticated hardware layer capabilities. Sky Lake has 3 display pipes, each of which has 3 display planes and a cursor. The multiple pipes are probably mostly used for multi-monitor configurations, but it's still a decent setup. From the hints I've picked up, I believe DirectFlip was largely engineered for this hardware.

There are lots of interesting latency-reducing tricks. Some of those might be good inspiration, but what I'm advocating is a general interface that lets applications reliably get good performance.

Thanks for the discussion!

> I don't personally think that Github makes PR formatting any harder

GitHub deliberately made GitHub-flavored Markdown incompatible with the way that Markdown dictated line breaks should be handled, although this affects more than just pull requests. In general, the way that people "write" Markdown meant to be published for GitHub is unreadable as plain text, even though it's supposed to be roughly as nice to read raw Markdown as it is to read the rendered form.

Many projects' commit logs are also a mess as a result of the way that GitHub pushed their pull-requests-for-everything model on the world. There is no end to the number of projects where every other log entry is a crufty merge commit, and the messages in those projects are generally useless, anyway. Folks shouldn't have to trawl through a disconnected web service to glean the info that should have been included in the commit message but was stuffed into the pull request instead.

> Now, I'm not necessarily super crazy about Github and the like. But for these issues, in my opinion they do a pretty reasonable job.

I have no horse in any Emacs race, but I agree that proper bugtrackers trump mailing lists. It's just a shame that so many people have consolidated around GitHub (and workalikes, like GitLab and Gogs/Gitea), which is poorly implemented. GitHub implements less-than-optimal workflows for its own reasons, and those reasons generally mirror other Valley-based "social" endeavors, where what's most important is growth, user engagement, and the perception of value at the expense of actual productivity and the adoption of addictive dark patterns to drive it all.

Second to the actual mechanics of GitHub is "the GitHub community", which routinely proves to be as much of a liability as an asset.

The fact that Emacs is a free software project and GitHub is not and GitHub is only slightly less of a walled garden than Facebook and that its privacy controls (what little it provides, if you want to even try to argue that it provides any) are worse than what Facebook and Twitter provide...

... are all reasons that make for a very bad suggestion to move to GitHub.
that is interesting, thanks!

If it's a book I need to learn something for work I'd buy it new or used. But to be honest it's been a long time since I've had to do that.

Aside from that I spent quite a few years scrounging used book stores and gathered up a pretty large library. I don't visit them much any more but I will stop and browse them on occasion and almost always leave with 2-3 more.
I quite enjoyed this article and found the author's perspective on the inherent internationalism of art resonate with me.

However, I'm not sure that the issue he is discussing is mostly caused by algorithms. It seems to me that the internationalisation of newspapers and media organisations is the main culprit. As the author says, if you can read art reviews in the NYT, why bother with 'small time' critics? Personally, I share the author's view that having a local perspective is still valuable but it seems clear that a lot of people don't.

That doesn't contradict my statement at all.

The problems you speak of are due to the browser runtime, not JavaScript.
I'm in the opinion that real-time desktop is already overdue. I can understand that in the olden days the perf benefit from dropping latency guarantees were worth it (classic latency vs throughput optimization), especially on servers where current operating systems draw their lineage (NT and UNIX). But these days with beefy, even overpowered CPUs, and 25 years of OS/real-time research later I would imagine that we would be in a place that the tradeoff would look different.

Of course just slapping RT kernel in a modern system alone would not do much good. The whole system needs to be thought with RT in mind, starting from kernel and drivers through toolkits/frameworks and services up to the applications themselves. But ultimately the APIs for application developers should be nudging people to do the right things (whatever those would be)
Of course a DEMO will have tritium breeding. One of ITER’s tasks is testing lithium breeder blankets. Reactor studies have included the calculations of necessary thickness of lithium blankets to make sufficient tritium and not increase the minor radius by an unacceptably high amount.

Variable refresh rate technologies like FreeSync and G-Sync are used in some video games. Wouldn't this improve the latency of desktop compositing too? After all, the idea is that the GPU sends out a frame to the monitor once it's finished, not once a periodic interval is reached.

I've written a few hundred Org mode docs, and a doctoral thesis in LaTeX.

I would not write a complex technical paper in Org Mode, other than just to get my thoughts together initially to eventually copy/paste into LaTeX.

But, Org Mode is good enough for most of my writing over the last several years. It is more readable as plain text, and exports to HTML or PDF trivially (the latter via the LaTeX export hook). I like it enough that I use it as the basis of my blog, exporting each article to HTML and then massaging the HTML programmatically to generate static files styled and cross-linked the way I want. This approach gives me math formulas via MathJax, still images, tables, code snippets... basically everything I want for a somewhat tech-y blog.

But, yeah, if you're going to just write a full-on technical paper for publication, I'd go right to LaTeX.

Probably a slow process of sending more probes and getting more samples to test, and eventually shipping them back to Earth. We don't really have any interest in manipulating whatever ecosystem Venus potentially has, but we could certainly use microbes that survive in such an environment.

I strongly doubt there is life on Venus, however.
IMHO (15+ years of Emacs and counting) you are not wrong.

First, Emacs already has excellent LaTeX support. Unless org-mode brings you any major advantage over plain LaTeX (which I doubt it is when you're writing a paper, that's not exactly 400 pages of loosely-coupled ideas) the extra headaches of dealing with one more intermediary language and set of packages isn't useful. If hacking on org-mode is your hobby, then yes, it's an enjoyable experience. But if you're just using it, then it's one of those cases where knowing you can is not enough, and you should maybe stop for a second and think if you should.

Second, I don't think anyone ever intended for org-mode to be used (as a wrapper) for authoring scientific papers. It's great that you can export your notes to LaTeX because it allows you to easily integrate them with existing manuscripts, it allows you have formulae embedded in them and so on. It just so happens that it's so good, and so flexible, that you can do it -- but there's no world in which a simple (no matter how flexible!) export engine for/wrapper around a language will ever be able to deal with complex matters that even said language can barely deal with.

It's one thing to use it for authoring simple documents (like blog posts), that works great. But when it takes hours of fiddling just to get the editor-supplied template to play nice with your text and figures, the last thing you need is one more moving piece.
It is incredibly unfair to associate older people with legacy stack. Many older people are actually contributors and work on defining and implementing newer (modern) architecture like containerization and automation solutions. I think often younger developers and engineers are often taught on old paradigms and solutions, and then often get out into a position to ignore modern solutions and get vendor kickbacks to maintain long-term contracts utilizing antiquated solutions.
