>I have a bit of trouble with the concept "the threshhold of too much", too, as it applies to this case. Google copied or paraphrased essentially _all_ of the text of interfaces they used from Java libraries

Oracle is trying to argue that just because you intentionally left a bunch of implementation detail out because it isn't relevant toward transforming something like the Java API's to a new context, it should still count as copyright infringement because they Still yoinked everything they did take... Which seems circular to me.

Google's point is "no shit, Sherlock, it wouldn't be Java otherwise." Oracle is couching this issue from the perspective that Google should have invented a completely New language and runtime, absorbing the same costs of them doing so. Google argues, on the other hand, that what they made, in order to confer to the syntactic structure of the programming language known as Java, dictates the duplication of the organization of the fundamental functions, packages, and namespaces, and that furthermore, Oracle has no standing to call them on it, because those APIs are a necessary prerequite to drive the operation of the JVM, and are by definition the only way to do it, so that API constitutes a method of operation.

The point being, if you did wish to be called Prime Minister then I'd respect your preference. Who's to say that you're not a Prime Minister? Or perhaps that your family name is actually Minister, and your nickname that everyone's known you by since high school is Prime?

Whatever you choose, it's not my business to judge.

Exactly and if Monty knows of the car location (as in the original formulation), he will basically save BAC and CAB from being ruined and both of these will become "player wins if they switch" outcomes. So instead of 2 out of 4, we now have 4 out of 6 cases where switching is better.
The visible universe is finite and the visible universe is the only thing that can affect us. I believe that would make it apply.
I agree that "Monty knowing the answer" isn't the "whole reason" MH is confusing.

IMO, people are confusing MH with a case where the door is opened randomly before your choice.

Let's say Monty shows you three doors, then knowingly opens a wrong door (B) before you choose. Do you want A or C? It's a coin toss, of course.

But suppose you pick door A first and THEN he knowingly opens a wrong door you didn't choose (B). Now the odds of winning are 2/3rds if you switch. But it feels the same as in the previous case. ("How could choosing a door first affect the odds?! It couldn't possibly change anything!!")

The answer is that your choice of a door constrains Monty.

Suppose you choose a door secretly before Monty opens a door. Suppose you choose A, and Monty opens door A, revealing a goat. Well, uh, you can't pick that any more, now, can you? You're forced to choose between B and C, a toss up.

But if you publicly pick door A then Monty can't/won't open A; he has to open one of the other doors. Since you probably chose the wrong door to begin with, and he always opens a wrong door, the other remaining closed door probably has the car.

So you're essentially arguing that the legal system and individuals generally should behave in accordance with what conspiracy theorists believe? This makes no sense to me.

It doesn't matter if conspiracy theorists get upset, many of them were convinced that there was a child sex dungeon in a pizza shop. If everybody started basing their actions on trying not to upset conspiracy theorists, society would completely stop functioning.

How can that remotely be true? It's easy to forget in a world where the internet has defacto concentrated into the hands of a select few CDNs, but behind each of those CDNs are origin servers, serving the content to those CDNs. Servers can be housed in different data centres, different countries, etc. Specific servers can have hardware issues or be congested, while others remain unaffected, etc.

New languages are hard and require focused attention. I've learned several. In my current job I'm exposed to a lot of Russian. I can read Cyrillic and recognize parts of conversations. It's frustrating not to be able to fill in the gaps to understand fully, but I just don't have the time because of my job. Plus if I did try to switch over, it would leave out other people who only speak English, which is a consideration in group environments.

As a consolation I switched my phone to Russian. :)

I've had pretty severe tinnitus since my 20s (early 40s now), during my early 30s I got very serious about diet/health due to unrelated health issues. I only drink water or coffee, I eat a clean diet with almost no processed sugars and minimal meat, etc etc.

My tinnitus is still absolutely horrible, almost always there in some fashion, strong nearly every night, and drives me to near-insanity half a dozen times a month.

Just for another perspective.

I'm not sure that it is that common. I mean, wouldn't it seem strange to take on the moniker of Takeshi while travelling in Japan, or Juan in Mexico, or Alexei in Moscow just to be able to order at Starbucks?

p.s. I should add the caveat that Starbucks baristas in Japan do not ask for names. It's culturally inappropriate there so Starbucks doesn't implement their names policy in Japan.
I'm not surprised given their general history of journalistic integrity, but I still don't think that justifies trying to identify and charge the person who made it.
I'm American and watch movies with subtitles. The audio balance is generally fucked up and there's some weird fuzziness to the sound or people suddenly start whispering only to have massive explosions and metal being torn apart 5 seconds later. (Yes, I know people say to adjust audio balance and settings but it doesn't fix the problem.) It's impossible to follow the dialogue otherwise.

I'm fine with watching TV without subtitles because usually it's made with the assumption that people actually want to hear the dialogue.

Cultural habits don't necessarily need a well defined cause and effect. The effect in such cases is that people think you are strange for not playing along.

The root of the habit in this case is Chinese medicinal beliefs. Here is a bit of a summary.

https://www.cheng-tsui.com/blog/hot-water-in-chinese-culture

"In traditional Chinese medicine (中医, zhōng yī), hot water is used to expel excess cold and humidity from the body, and it is believed to promote blood circulation. This helps detoxify the body and relax the muscles. Cold water supposedly has the opposite effect, slowing organ function and causing painful muscle contractions. Thus, hot water is often touted as the cure for everything from sore throats to stiffness to cramps to fatigue."

Of course, modern people also know that untreated water is not safe. That doesn't explain an aversion to cold bottled water or other drinks though, which while far from absolute is more common than it is in Western countries.
With the original Xbox, they used hard drive locking that made it difficult to swap out to a new one. Its been a very long time since I've done it, but I seem to remember having a hard drive powered by a normal ATX PC, then swapping the data cable over from the PC to the Xbox while it was still on to achieve a HDD upgrade (with other steps in the middle that i've all but forgot).

I use this when it's distracting the hell out of me, but usually it's just a minor background noise that I barely notice because it is perpetually there. I've never sought to do anything about it because I'm just used to it and so few things trigger it to get loud that it's generally not annoying. When it does get triggered and loud, it's the same volume as a normal talking voice, but it's pretty rare.

What tool do you use to control this?
I guess people talk about build quality but my two year old Model 3 hasn’t had any issues. I will only buy electric cars from this point on after having the Model 3. How quick it is and I also happen to love the touchscreen and UI. Also no oil changes is fantastic. I’ve only rotated tires. My Audi maintenance costs just kept rising and rising.

It’s odd people compare the Model 3 to a wide range of cars when it seems more apt to compare it to ICE cars like Audi A4 and BMW 3 Series. I think it’s superior to those cars, I don’t miss the amount of buttons they all have (buttons I personally never use). And I feel like all car interiors have started to get very cheap.
I agree, and that doesn't contradict what I said in my original comment. I think we are just getting tangled in semantics rather than fundamentally disagreeing on anything.

> "We are clear that the law prohibits us from discriminating on the basis of race," the firm's lawyer Dev Stahlkopf blogged.

Pardon my ignorance... But I thought in the case of affirmative action, discrimination based on race was legal?

Reading on...

> It has informed the tech giant that while companies can set affirmative action goals to boost employment of "minorities and women", they "must not engage in discriminatory practices" to achieve them.

How is an "affirmative action goal" different from just a diversity goal? How can you achieve affirmative action if you can't discriminate on the basis of race?
I knew a girl from Hong Kong who carried the same belief so it's not just SK.

It's interesting the article didn't mentioned suicide, which I've seen mentioned before as a cause of the myth. The story goes that papers popularised the concept as a way to avoid specifically naming suicide as a cause of death, as a kind of shared understanding while preserving the honour of the families. But a lot of people took it seriously so the idea gained traction.

Ok as someone who enjoys doing 'nerdy' things but would count myself as 'popular' etc this article is deluded on the ways popularity and school operate. Noone cares if you enjoy programming or computers as long as you act relatively 'normal'. It's not that nerds care about intelligence more than popularity (trust me most aren't) it's just that the nerds have already lost the popularity race by being socially awkward individuals that can't hold a conversation about any topics other than very specific subjects to save their life.

I've found nerds as a teenager to be one of the most judging, toxic group of people who actually care far more about popularity than anyone else at school. (How many other groups made lists of tables by popularity?)

Isn't plutocracy is a form of oligarchy (the inner circle being rich people)? According to WP ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oligarchy ) "Aristotle pioneered the use of the term as meaning rule by the rich, for which another term commonly used today is plutocracy."

As you wrote:
> china to say (but do know they have billionaires and hedge funds, à la the Quantum Fund), USSR had its nomenklatura (several of whom went on to literally be called oligarchs in the FSU),

I believed that your thoughts were on this "rule by the rich" track.

Your definitions may not always enable to distinguish oligarchy from democracy, because the "entire electorate", without any other specification, may be an "inner circle". This, indeed, is about "how large is the selectorate?", and "democracy", here (when it comes to distinguish it from "oligarchy"), implies a pure democracy ("universal suffrage" coupled to a "direct democracy").

As no such pure democracy exists nor existed, our debate seems moot. In more than one way delegation, more precisely the "Consent of the governed" concept ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consent_of_the_governed ), may be our central concept.

Moreover one may always argue that a pure democracy isn't sufficient to escape from oligarchy, because I can't see why 'Manufacturing Consent' ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Consent ) wouldn't work.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_law_of_oligarchy
> ...but I think the notion of companies selling shares to people in armchairs who neither necessarily use nor feel the side effects of the product is an issue.

Their function is to raise money, whether they use the product or not (you don’t invest in something unless you believe it will provide value to some group of people) they’ve done their job and the company can continue to advance and adapt due to the capital. Further if you set what a company can be worth you’ve limited their resources and limited their innovation as a result.

You’ve also turned human labor into currency in an attempt to get rid of currency. You cannot get rid of the concept of money. Without it you must trade resources (like labor), which history has shown is a very bad idea. The idea of a government being able to print money is a very deliberate feature, not a bug. I cannot do this justice, but read up on why we have money in the first place.

Yes, many people with such names have so-called "Starbucks" names, and some are quite creative and funny -- I mean, there are people who use "Barack Hussein" as their Starbucks name. Ordinary names like Bob or Sue are common too.

I understand why Starbucks does it. It's part of their corporate culture and marketing. I've no strong aversion to it -- as I said I'm used to it now and it is what it is. But I just wanted to highlight some of the downsides for people with unusual names, even though as you say it's no big deal to find a workaround.

And there exist more universal systems that aren't dependent on a barista's ability to spell or pronounce an arbitrary name, and that doesn't require the customer to reveal or invent a name.

p.s. English names are not exempt from this. Imagine going to a non-English-speaking country and having a name like Cecil or Xavier (which Americans pronounce Ex-zavier).

Well, it might not, but the article is about Eli Lilly saying their studies say the drug is effective, and the anecdotal evidence that Trump took it and recovered very quickly seems to add credence to that claim.

The Logic of Chance by John Venn (1888)
This is a classic book on the Frequentist perspective of statistics by a mathemetical pioneer (and pioneer of the Venn diagram). I noticed it was up free on Project Gutenberg as its copyright has expired so I wanted to share with the HN community.
Also matters what build quality people are referring to. I know there have been plenty of people complaining online. Now a roof flies off of a Model Y and that’s terrible. But I’m not sure why all the other recalls don’t get as much coverage and this Model Y. I mean Volvo just had a recall for the Polestar for a problem that would cause total power loss. I understand Tesla is the hotness to hate and love.
It's not. Not even close. It doesn't even have my last name for instance. And that's a western name.

Then there's also the following issues:

- The list contains mostly names in basic latin script, which already excludes most of the world population.

- It's also pretty bold of the author to assume that everyone even has a "first" and a "last" name. Not all names work like that.

- The list contains a bunch of extraneous stuff like "�" and "</pre></body></html> (>\k����  " and "रामकिशो&amp;"

- The list is converted to lowercase. You can't just change the capitalization of names and expect them to be the same. Not all scripts work like that.

- In some languages/cultures a first/last name could be pretty much any word you can find in a dictionary, or a combination of them. You'd pretty much need to add that language's entire dictionary.

I could go on but instead I'll just link to this: https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/06/17/falsehoods-programmers-...
When compared to dimensionally similar (but certainly not similarly priced!) sedans, the Model 3 ranks well but doesn't really have more cargo space.

I don't understand how one person treated with something, just because they recovered, makes this a game changer. I also don't get why it would take "curing" the president to know of a specific cocktail that works.

I kinda am losing all faith in all things medicine if we've had experience, as a whole, to try to treat 36 MILLION people with this issue and one specific treatment for one specific person, who happens to survive like 35 MILLION others so far. And THATS the winning combo, And it happens to be our president. It's like the other 35 MILLION was just junk data or something.

Of course technically any part of a program is an algorithm, but usually (like here) we reserve the name for general things like here (from path and graph to partition and search algorithms), not for our "business logic" algorithm.

For example a complete brain capable of imagining it’s in a universe could spontaneously occur... (Boltzmann brain) but the catch is that there needs to be enough usable energy for it to function. So even if order suddenly occurs, heat death means an eventual limit to complexity.

Ultimately something needs to happen to cause a sudden reverse into very low entropy, ie another Big Bang or something of the like.

We’re talking like 10^50 years here before heat death ends thought so... the universe has some time still.
