I've been trying to get off reddit for years and I think I'm finally there.

Reddit has always had a grouo-think mentality, but now it's backed by reddit itself to push particular agendas. Meanwhile harmless communities get banned simply because reddit doesn't like them. Meanwhile there are other subreddits that get a pass for the same content on the opposite side of the political spectrum. The worst part is, hardly any alternatives have a community as large as it and is just as good.

Voat or ruqqus? Not unless you wanna listen to how the jews control the media. Mastodon? It's a weird real time twitter hybrid that is like the tower of babel of social media. Facebook is extraordinarily lame now. All people do is post memes they see online elsewhere. 4chan? It is not user friendly at all.

I just want a place like old reddit again. Back when articles linked were legitimately decent, it wasn't just memes, and "kicks" or "bans" were just a cadre of people that disagreed via downvote.

I personally blame the normies. Part of the great thing about the internet is the fact that you can say things you wouldn't feel comfortable in real life. Not just mean things but personal beliefs of political ones. Now these people who foster a community of thin skinned people who are agast people genuinely awful as though that was never a fact to begin with.
The All-China Federation of Trade Unions is the largest trade union in the world, with 302 million members.

Of course, some would say taking the ACFTU as representative of unions is like taking the East India Company as representative of multinational corporations...
This seems overstated.

The X-3 and XB-1 both have long noses, and the similarities end there.

The wing shapes are completely different, the engine intakes are configured differently, the tail is completely different etc.

In terms of similarities, it looks more like an X-59 to me: https://www.nasa.gov/aeroresearch/nasa-marks-continued-progr...
> Now the car is unpolished across the board. Be that manufacturing, interior materials or general care for UX. But those things matter far more to enthusiasts. Your average family owner cares more about all of Tesla's positives.

This actually seems kind of backwards to me? Car enthusiasts -- at least the way I think of "car enthusiast" -- are the ones who prioritize acceleration, speed and handling to a point where they're forgiving, at least to a point, of other flaws. Tesla also has a lot of tech enthusiast appeal, of course, and their best target market is right at the center of that Venn diagram.

However, I'd think "average family owners" are the kinds of folks who are way more likely to think that if they spent $60,000+ on a new car, that car should be as close to problem-free, and even maintenance-free, as realistically possible. They're not prioritizing for under 4-second 0–60 speeds. I mean, they'll also love the high safety ratings and trunk space, but if the car gets a reputation for reliability problems, they're going to remember there's a Volvo dealer next door.
He means: I think the C-level largely has been kicked.
I dunno how many years in you are (I'm almost 10) but if it's any consolation, you do get used to it. If your particular tinnitus aetiology is sensorineural hearing loss as it is with most, cutting edge research suggests that stem cell based therapies will eventually be able to fix this problem.
I commented about this in the original discussion:

It’s no big deal. Aaron himself said he didn’t mind if he wasn’t considered a co-founder. Starting the company and contributing to the core framework are separate things. Elon Musk wouldn’t care, he has way bigger things to think about :)

>what would a social network of limited range look like?

healthy is what it would look like. because then it would operate on a human scale, be decentralised, robust, instead of being hyper-connected like sort of giant overstimulated brain.

Obviously it violates just about every financial incentive social media companies have, as well as people's increasing need for attention, so it will never happen.
Yes, they're called "Views" [1]

He's entirely self taught. He's not stupid or anything, it's just that he hasn't had the experience of maintaining large codebases, attempting to modify his unmaintainable code or attempting to modify other people's unmaintainable code.
Another reason why nerd groups are ostracized is envy. In the ocean of boredom that is high school, one group manages to create an island of fantasy and computer programming. While everyone is marred by memorization and popularity contests, one group is having a blast killing imaginary monsters with throws of D20s. That is certainly to be treated with envy.
NASA has a goal to solve physics; we'll see how they do.
It is safe to conclude that eventually drafts will settle down further, QUIC and HTTP/3 will pass last call and get published, maybe in 2021.

I don't know what "the cross-out treatment" is exactly but if you mean the UI behaviour where non-secure contexts get a red line or the words "Not Secure" then there's no reason that will change. HTTP/1.1 over TLS is still fine, HTTP/1.1 plaintext was already treated that way. The newer protocol isn't really "more secure", than HTTP/1.1 over TLS, but it is as this article notes, faster and more capable.

Also, consider all those jobs you choose not to do. _Somebody_ does them, and rarely because they have differently wired brains and they actively enjoy the work you've rejected. People who clean toilets, or collect trash, or any of those other unskilled menial jobs that absolutely need doing in society aren't "enjoying this jobs every single day".

>> How did accepting that as the norm sneak into our culture?

I think you've got that totally back to front. The typical HN reader is _super privileged_ to even be able to think about choosing "a job that I love" over a less fulfilling job. 99% of the humans on the planet are doing whatever job they can just to survive. "A job that you love" has never been "the norm in our culture". Pretending most people don't just "go through life wasting away most of their prime waking hours on a job they don't love" is ignoring the lived existence of practically everybody you see each day that's not in a FAANG Michelin-starred cafeteria or double-digit equity incentivised at a swing-for-the-fences startup.
I really want one much stronger, but applied to my heart.
> 'everything is text' idea never made sense to me.

As a Programmer(tm), you spend more time debugging code (or specifically, reading it) than writing code. Everything as text makes this less painful than sussing it out of ASM behavior. It's a natural conclusion, given enough time.
That's excellent, and Rust makes perfect sense here. But consider that OP has an important point (though not said very diplomatically): Ada/SPARK has decades of experience and research in safety, especially type safety, which has not received the same level of focus in Rust as memory safety has. In addition, Ada was the vehicle for many years (and still is in some places) for teaching systems safety and mission-critical programming.

You should consider familiarizing yourself with some of that Ada/SPARK research, experience, and pedagogy. The issues you're teaching aren't new, and there's a huge body of knowledge, experience, and anecdotes you may find useful or inspiration.

A couple ideas to get you started--
- "Safe and Secure Software" - https://www.adacore.com/uploads_gems/Ada_Safe_and_Secure_Boo...

- "Safe Dynamic Memory Management in Ada and SPARK." Quote from its first page: "As our main contribution, we show how to adapt the ideas underlying the safe pointers from permission-based languages like Rust or ParaSail, to safely restrict the use of pointers in more traditional imperative languages like Ada." - https://www.adacore.com/uploads/techPapers/Safe-Dynamic-Memo...

- The Ada Information Clearinghouse - https://www.adaic.org/advantages/

Rust is new and important and it's great that it's the focus of your course. But I also think you would do your students a service to show them that they can stand on the shoulders of giants in comp sci just as much as any other discipline. Much as the industry has moved back to what was fundamentally the IBM mainframe remote-system-and-virtual-machines service and licensing model [now we call them clouds, containers, and SaaS subscriptions], Rust is a relatively recent response to the same problems Ada/SPARK have decades of experience in handling. The lessons the industry and comp sci researchers learned 30 or 40 years ago do matter, and they can show us what kinds of solutions work and what may have have unforeseen effects.

The Ada Reference Manual and SPARK are under-appreciated tomes of the world's experience in these issues.
Think I misremembered slightly, I only rode with him once. I though the speedo was at the lower left of the screen but it looks like the upper left. Think maybe he was used to having his hand between 12 and 3 and had to move? He was a larger guy if that makes a difference

Cornelius Lanczos (1893-1974) about mathematics (1972) [video]
The body of the article says they picked the car up from a Tesla service center (which is accurate--you can order your car from a showroom, but you pick it up at the service center). The only reference to a "dealership" is in the photo caption, which was likely written by someone else who wasn't as familiar with Tesla.
Under Manhattan, not in.
Okay, let's go with your interpretation.

Monty has now randomly chosen a door, and not revealed a car. If he had revealed a car you would have changed doors to it and won. But he didn't.[0]
Now you have a choice to make.

His probability of not revealing a car in the case that both doors you didn't pick had goats behind them, is 100%.

His probability of not revealing a car in the case that one door you didn't pick had a car behind it, is 50%.

We can reason then, that of the three possible scenarios for the two non picked doors {g,c}, {c,g}, {g,g}, that it is equally likely now that since he didn't randomly reveal a car, {g,g} must be weighted twice as much as the other two.

Therefore, we must be as likely to have a goat behind the remaining door as we didn't.

In conclusion, Monty only changes the problem if he selects with information.

[0] Notice that at this point, we have to throw away from the decision tree 1/3 of the histories, and in all of them switching was beneficial. In what remains then, switching is less beneficial than it was before this trimming.
That’s not much of a comparison — BMWs aren’t known to age well.

Compare it to a Honda at 200k miles or 10 years.
There is a well accepted theory that tinnitus is a kind of pathological rewiring of the circuits in the brain that give rise to the sensation of sound. Whether this is compensatory for hearing loss (i.e., higher noise that your brain accepts in order to get more signal) or purely pathological is an open question, but it does sound reasonable that electric stimulation applied concurrently with sound stimulus could rectify some of the issue. I don't know how they'd determine which tones or regions to stimulate though.
Same with the PS2 as well, all you needed was the network adapter and you can pop in a standard 3.5” IDE hard drive. You can even get a 3rd party boot disc to copy/load games off the hard drive to improve load times.
Not sure what “tame” means in this context. Performance per watt has been increasing every year for a long time and continues to do so [1]. So temperature is really just a design choice. One example, pick a performance get a power. Once you have a power, pick the mechanical system, get a temperature. It’s all just trade offs. If performance and enclosure was held constant over time then temperatures would go down, but few want that.

You’re guessing more than 20 years or less?
They said "want", not "can".
The model 3 performance is great at straight line but stock suspension isn’t fun to around tight corners. The way it rebounds on road imperfection at highspeed is not confident inspiring. The mass also resists willingness to turn in. Unless I manhandle it I always run wide around corner.
I did my phd I crispr. Because science is broken. When I was doing my.phd I worked on a project for a year and a half only for my professor to tell me that our collaborator was going to "take it over". I lost all my work and had to "give" the project to a student in his lab. They made some deal. It is sick, academic research is broken.
Reverse Engineering the Japanese Sentence
I have this idea that the singularity inside a blackhole is a tiny point in space with almost uniform energy distribution. From the perspective of the tiny space, it is not tiny at all, and could actually look like a big bang locally.

Suprising they don't have an overhead gantry and part jigs. They are using a forklift and a $100 chain hoist to move the wing around. And it looks like they are using 3d printed plastic parts on the plane?
Thanks - that's a really interesting answer.
Lol. “Continuous improvement” is a great euphemism.
What the past few years have shown me is that we need a place for serious discussion that is not influenced by bots, propaganda, and astroturfing. Public opinion and awareness on current events on sites like Twitter and Reddit is getting swayed by all sorts of bad actors and this is wreaking havoc on our society. I think if we actually care for a healthy community, the future is in communities with verified identity so that there is actually some sense of accountability from the people that post there. Whether these types of communities will gain any traction is another story...
> It's 2020, why are we still telling people what they're supposed to call themselves?

I think if you look closely you'll see GP didn't say they should be called that, just that it would be more accurate to call them that, presumably with respect to communicating their responsibilities to others.

At some point they can just freeze the upgrades like Apple does and just provide maintenance.

A bit of a pain to be supporting some LTS versions, but not that big relative to the billions in sales you're supporting with it.
> It didn't seem to put a whole lot of people off: we had 3.7m tourist arrivals in 2017, without supersonic jets. Our population is only 5m.

I think you might underestimate how many people would visit if the long-haul flights weren't an obstacle. Pre-covid Iceland, easily reachable from Europe and the NE US, had over 1M arrivals on a population of only 300k: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tourism_in_Iceland

Dr. Edmund Weitz contributed the core web framework they used before that, but most certainly was not a cofounder. Ben Bangert and James Gardner contributed the one they used after.

I never had the impression Aaron was very interested in working on reddit. It seems to me the merger was effectively a bailout for Infogami, which had not attracted either further investment or a revenue stream. I believe some of its code may have found its way into reddit's wiki feature, but that's not likely more valuable than a weekend or two of coding. I was an early user of both reddit and Infogami and the software just wasn't that sophisticated.
> Why not?

Because thats the exercise we agreed to practice; how to make a theory without assuming anything. I neither believe nor disbelieve this person, how am I to use their testimony to construct a theory without taking it as some English words with particular meanings that are presumed to be presented in good faith as an accurate representation of their perspective?

> Not quite the same way, because I can answer the "why not" question, and I'm pretty sure you can't.

Ok how do you answer the “why not?” question?

> How do you account for that consistency?

Ok if I correctly understand you, you’re saying that I can infer a consistency between phenomena by observing that they appear to be similar. Is that an accurate restatement of your thesis?
Yes, very common. Bullshit gets published and great work is ignored EVERY DAY. Academic research is broken.
And done, a small 20k investment. Lets see how it goes, evil usually pays quite well.
Most likely altitude. I recall that they used to practice flying at low altitude.

Much more interesting than our anecdata is probably the Oklahoma City Sonic Boom study: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oklahoma_City_sonic_boom_tests

> the NORC reported that 73% of subjects in the study said that they could live indefinitely with eight sonic booms per day, while 25% said that they couldn't. About 3% of the population telephoned, sued, or wrote protest letters, but Oklahoma City surgeons and hospitals filed no complaints.

However, with the city population at 500,000, that 3% figure represented 15,000 upset individuals. There were 9,594 complaints of damage to buildings, 4,629 formal damage claims, and 229 claims for a total of $12,845.32, mostly for broken glass and cracked plaster.

> Specifically, whether there was a chance that he might not have.

That is false. Him opening the car is outside the constraints of the premise of the thought experiment. He can't not open a goat. The chance of him not opening a goat is irrelevant, and the probability is 0%.
I got tinnitus due to some health problems caused by bad diet. Got 100% off sugars, alcohol, bread, milk products for 3 months, and most of my health problems went away.

I got to warn you, stopping sugar consumption cold turkey is not easy and not nice. That stuff is like (what I imagine) crack. First two weeks were awful.
Are you taking the over or the under?
It used to be DRM, but privacy and security are the most prominent excuse under which freedoms are being attacked today, because "why would you argue against privacy and security?" --- just like drugs, terrorism, and child porn.

I have a MITM proxy on my network that strips ads, rewrites pages with custom stylesheets, and all that across every single device connected to it, and it's hard but not impossible to set everything up, and they are only trying to make that harder.

I agree with you completely, except for "right to be forgotten" --- which tends to become interpreted more as a "right to rewrite history".

"Those who give up freedom for security deserve neither."
If the host opens a door truly at random...

- you choose door 1, goat

-- host chooses door 1, goat

--- switch: 1/2 chance of being right

--- stay: you're wrong

-- host chooses door 2, goat

--- switch: you are right

--- stay: you are wrong

-- host chooses door 3, car

--- switch: you are right

--- stay: you are wrong

- you choose door 2, goat

-- host chooses door 1, goat

--- switch: you are right

--- stay: you're wrong

-- host chooses door 2, goat

--- switch: 1/2 chance of being right

--- stay: you are wrong

-- host chooses door 3, car

--- switch: you are right

--- stay: you are wrong

- you choose door 3, car

-- host chooses door 1, goat

--- switch: you are wrong

--- stay: you are right

-- host chooses door 2, goat

--- switch: you are wrong

--- stay: you are right

-- host chooses door 3, car

--- switch: you are wrong

--- stay: you are right

so there are 6 times out of 9 where the host shows you a goat total, and you are right if you switch 3 out of those 6 times. if you stay each of those 6 times, you're right 2 out of the 6 times.

there are 4 times the host shows you a goat that you didn't choose, and if you switch you are right 2 out of those times. but in this scenario, you are actually right 2 out of those 4 times if you stay, too.

this seems opposite of what i expected. I guess if the host is choosing at random, and you conditionalize on "being shown a goat AND a door you didn't choose" then you're reducing that particular sample space down to be more heavy in the "you got it right originally" scenario, because the "you got it wrong originally" scenarios rule out half the goat doors from the hosts choices we're considering.
I don't know: debugging textual macro isn't fun but it isn't that hard either (provided you can convince your stupid build system to add a -E to your compiler flags), debugging AST macro sounds to me like debugging templates: a nightmare..
If I remember right, that section didn’t differ substantially from Lucas’s argument, which I thought had already been effectively rebutted (eg in Godel, Escher, Bach). But maybe I’ll take another look and see if that’s fair.
Simulations where he opens a goat door are a subset of all simulations. The thought experiment is only concerned with the subset.
