The word "problematic" has a history.

The original examples:

1. The "Jewish Question" or "Jewish Problem" -- ideas from the then-intelligencia that led to the "Final Solution" of the Holocaust [1].

2. The "woman problem" (which had no similarly dramatic "solution") [2].

The current usage of "problematic" is an intentional "turning of the tables", an inversion of that previous use of language. The people who began this trend of inversion did so deliberately, knowing that they were playing with fire, since in the past those word-games had led to genocide.

A similar inversion of "ressentiment" [3] also happened. At one time it was used for antisemitic purposes; now you're more likely to see it wielded against Trumpists.

Over time, the weapons of one side can, and will, be appropriated by the other.

If you are an IITian and still casteist then something is wrong with you!

Look IITians are often entitled, opinionated and in rare cases obnoxious.

But never during my 5 years in IIT KGP, I have ever felt casteism among students and even amongst alumni after that.

Initially during freshman year there’s a slight sense of resentment against quota (affirmative action for lower castes) students but all of that evaporates as quota and non-quota students alike progress.

The whole point of getting advanced degrees is to shed the ignorance and discrimination and pursue what’s interesting, work with the brightest and of course make a better life for oneself.

Being casteist and discriminatory doesn’t take anyone far in life.

I really hope reports like these are media exaggerations and entitled casteist are very very few.

I have worked my whole life to ascend over this garbage. I don’t want this stupid discourse to follow me now!
Sorry for not being clear: my point was not "the law does not explicitly ask for the button, that's just a misapplication" but more something like "the button thing is another completely different law, GDPR has way more topics and thus when you say 'I love the ignorance of people over here thinking that GDPR is nothing more than just that accept button' I disagree wholeheartedly".

I've personally had my identity stolen last year and they got a car loan, insurance, and bought a couple iPhones and lines with two different providers. It happened in the month I was closing on my house and getting a mortgage. Yeah it was a bit of a pain but some phone calls, a police report, notarization, and snail mail later and it is off my record and my credit score went right back over 800. Also I was still able to get the mortgage even with it going on.

Out of about 100 things that plug in to the wall in an average home you've just listed 5 that won't work. (You missed the water heater and the clothes dryer BTW). This is exactly what I meant by "most."
Not quite. Stocks, gold, Bitcoin, a house you live in (not rent) don’t produce anything (unless your stock has a dividend).

You want something that produces.

Say I buy $300k worth of gold, 10% inflation hits and there’s no change in demand and its now worth $330k.

Say I buy a $300k farm. 10% inflation hits and there’s no change in demand. It’s now worth $330k... but the value of production of said farm is also up 10%.

This makes an opportunity. If I take a loan on my farm in year 1, I can buy a larger farm (say on 3% interest). If inflation hits I can pay down that farm loan at an ever increasing rate. This allows someone to leverage the inflation and debt to make larger purchases.

It protects your INCOME from inflation. Not just your investments.

> Prior to Covid, many of the busiest lines were operating near their capacity limits, so setting fares any lower would just cause even more severe crowding.

This isn't the vindication of privatisation you seem to think it is.
Passenger numbers (and fares) are hitting records, and the operators are still using the exact same rolling stock as in 'the old days of British Rail'. Privatisation has led to massive corporate profits at the taxpayers' expense, without providing the investment the railways need.

How is it that half of the UK's private operators are subsidiaries of other countries' nationalised operators?
When the East Coast Mainline was renationalised (after the franchise holder claimed it was impossible to run profitably), it jumped from the most expensive line with the least customer satisfaction to the line with the highest customer satisfaction.

The 'bad old days' of British Rail were because of persistent underfunding, not the ownership structure. The UK state spends more on railways today under a privatised system than they did when the entire system was nationalised.

The mistake the EU did with the vaccine rollout is that it was talking to long instead buying. Otherwise something that needs to be taken into consideration is the following.

Right now we have a global pandemic so all countries world wide are affected. And unless the whole world is vaccinated we won't get past it since the chance that mutations occur that all possible immune against our vaccines increases the more people get infected.

Currently there are 4 Producing Vaccine "producing" countries/groups

USA, UK, EU, Russia and China.

From these 5 groups only the EU and China are exporting vaccines. I am unsure about russia. And the Chinese vaccine is also not that widespread outside China. But I know that the EU even supplies Canada and Mexico with vaccines, while the USA and the UK have export bans. That is one of the reasons why vaccinations are slow in the EU in addition to being slow last year with ordering.

So while they have great numbers at home concerning the amount of people vaccinated. It is morally debatable whether or not that is the correct approach for a global problem.

> I do doubt that Huawei have created their own operating system to rival android. Unless git clone constitutes an act of creation;

As someone who had interviewed a few guys working on their so-called "Android compatible layer for HarmonyOS" and "automatic Android app to HarmonyOS migrator" (sounds like a source-to-source transpiler for mapping calls to Android APIs to mostly-same-to-Android-but-with-some-subtle-differences HarmonyOS APIs, nobody would create such a horrible thing if they really simply git clone), I believe they do. I don't know to what extent, though.

I think your comment is an interesting example of the "dismissive tone" Steve referred to.
Every society exerts social pressure in the form of norms and shaming. People are only sensitive to the shaming they won't accept, which always seems to come from the people they disagree with, and they are completely blind to the shaming that goes on in their in-group.

No I'm not - EU is the least relevant big player on the global scale, economically and militarily - mostly because it's such a weak union of extremely diverse countries with weak common identity (as demonstrated by squabbles at any crisis - financial, COVID, immigration, etc.)

It makes sense for smaller countries like mine (Croatia) because of free travel, easier access to a larger market, lower cost of doing business, and truly being too small to negotiate good terms on a global scale. It probably makes a lot less sense for UK which can negotiate it's own terms with other global powers that fit them much better.

I have no doubt there will be many negatives to Brexit, but as demonstrated by COVID situation there's a huge opportunity for UK - for example I suspect they can secure better trade deals with the US without having to worry about the protectionist interests pushed by other EU members.

Knuth's Dancing Links is originally from 2001, and was first published to book form in Fasicle 6 (2019).

Dancing Links seems to have outstanding performance for a generic cover problem, even on modern cache heavy processors.

It seems like the static layout of the links benefits greatly from cache locality. Seriously, study the algorithm before hating on it.

EDIT: Knuth's original writing style may be "too mathematical" for some. Here's a dumbed down version: https://medium.com/javarevisited/building-a-sudoku-solver-in...

The original Knuth: https://arxiv.org/abs/cs/0011047

The 2001 code is suboptimal in a few ways compared to the more recent updates. Knuth discusses the updates in Fasicle 6, the cweb source code is: https://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/programs/dlx1.w

-------------------

EDIT: But... I hate it when people tell me to read other papers without pointing out the issue. :-)

The specific issue is that in Dancing Links: 1 -> 2 -> 3 becomes 1->3, and then later becomes 1 -> 2 -> 3 again. This pattern of insert (and then un-insert at the same place) means that all linked-list operations will execute in L1 cache.

Furthermore, Knuth lays out the data such that 1, 2, and 3 are sequential in memory. So the entire process is incredibly cache-efficient and takes advantage of both temporal and spatial locality. (Because 1 usually inserts / removes 2, and because 1 and 2 are always next to each other in memory, you're never leaving L1 cache).

As such, all DXL-operations are outstandingly fast. Furthermore, the pattern of insert-uninsert is useful for Exact Cover (which Knuth then used to solve graph coloring, N-Queens, Sudoku, and other NP-complete problems at relatively high speed). No, its not a generic SAT solver, but it does pretty darn good, especially considering how simple the operations are.

While that may be true, my experience was that you immediately see folks assuming you're using the 'sugar' macros, and then I went to do something with JSON and that was macros as well.
Honestly curious, while .4% of all definitions are macros, how many things are using those macros? That's probably hard to tell, but I feel like that would be closer to representing the need for learning all the macros.
I hear you, though, that I might have been nearing the end of the steep part of the learning curve.

while its true that the base functionality itself is extremely easy to implement with any CRUD framework (spring/django/RoR/phoenix/whatever), the created app would not be able to scale to the degree twitter has been scaled at this point.

vertical scaling only works to a degree, and horizontal scaling while keeping the data as close to real-time as possible is nontrivial.
In the US today, you're a real dumb dumb if you try to attain power via a left platform. A handful of people did it (AOC, Omar, Taleib) but by far if you want a successful career you take a mainstream R or D position and just try to outdo everyone else in culture war takes. I'll point out that "the squad" is social democratic in nature, they aren't as far left as you can go by far.

A left position calls for redistribution of wealth and transfer of control of the means of production, which gets you attacked from nearly all establishment sides.
As a human who is concerned with the treatment of bull (male) calfs born on dairy farms and their treatment for the production of veal, I have absolutely no clue why being a vegan has any pertinence. Why is it such common practice to insufferably proclaim one's ethos as a vegan?

In all seriousness, the conditions under which bull calfs for veal production is abhorrent, and I have great difficulty in balance sympathy for the plight of dairy with the practices of the industry. While the article mentions CAFOs, which are the largest contributors to veal production, I'd been hard-pressed to find a family run dairy farm in my home, midwestern state, which didn't at the least sell their bull calfs to outfits that do produce veal.

Next time you see that on the menu, take a moment to think about where it's coming from and how it's made.

Launch HN: Atrato (YC W21) – Credit Card Alternative for Latin America
Hi HN! Roger here, with Juan and Alex, co-founders of Atrato (https://www.atratopago.com), from the YC W21 batch. We're building a solution for consumers to pay on installments their big purchases without a credit card in Latin America. You can see it as "Affirm for LATAM".

When it comes to paying for a large purchase (let's say US$500) in LATAM, we have 2 options: paying upfront with cash or debit, or finance it using a credit card. The problem is that 80% of people here don't have a credit card, getting one is hard and even those like me that have one, credit cards are frustrating, expensive and complex to understand. They can make you overspend, the terms and fees are opaque and keeping track of your purchases and payments it's confusing.

This problem is pushing a lot of people to go to department stores with their own installment credit, but with incredibly expensive interest rates (+70% APR) or delaying important purchases for months or sometimes years! And merchants (like retailers or ecommerce) are losing potential sales and customers because they can't offer financing themselves or other payment alternatives.

We stumbled into this problem while in college because we ourselves had a lot of problems with our banks and we are so passionate about financial services that when we had so many negative experiences with our own credit cards, we were inspired to build a more fair, fast and transparent solution for the people in LATAM. We saw that in many developed countries these solutions were gaining popularity and technology was available, so it didn't make sense for us that there wasn't something like that available.

Our payment method lets merchants offer their customers up to 18 monthly installments to pay for purchases of up to US$5k. When they're in-store, consumers scan a QR code, apply in minutes with their phones, receive an instant offer and can enjoy their purchase! We then settle with the merchant upfront and collect the installments from consumers directly. For ecommerce, it works like any other payment method and we developed integrations with the major ecommerce platforms such as Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento and custom platforms. We make money by charging a discount fee to the merchant for each purchase and interest to the consumer (average ~40% APR, significantly lower than most credit cards in Mexico (~60% APR) and now launching 0% APR programs). Right now we're live with global brands like Specialized Bicycles and Echelon Fitness and ~110 merchants in Mexico.

It's been a crazy so far, we are first time founders and started the company while in college (Juan dropt out), learned from scratch how to underwrite credit, fraud, credit scoring and manage risk, built a complete platform (from the loan application, to the servicing software and all infrastructure), raise debt, sales, product design and a lot of other things!
