What terrorism? Since 9/11, there have been only two major Islamic terrorism incidents on US soil. The Boston Marathon bombing was by two brothers, and the San Bernardino shooting was a husband and wife team. Both were low-budget operations.

Even 9/11 is estimated to have cost the attackers only about $400K.

What costs is setting up an full-sized army, like ISIS.
Brief summary:

Majorana fermions are particles can potentially be created under stringent laboratory conditions. Whether this has been achieved in practice is unclear: many scientific papers purport to show evidence of Majorana particles, but there are other explanations that could explain to the observed data as well. New research is frequently published that claims Majorana production, but most often doesn't even acknowledge potential problems or alternative explanations. These sloppy practices cast doubt over the whole field, despite the large impact Majorana particles could have for quantum computing applications.

We need:

* More stringent data reporting: raw data, full data (not only the small subset supporting the hypothesis)

* More critical evaluation of other explanations for the observed data

* Transparent publication processes, that prevent a paper that was rejected by one journal on scientific grounds appear in another journal unchanged

I haven't written Android code in a few years, but IIRC, there's an attribute you can add to your manifest that lets you handle the rotation without getting your UI getting destroyed and recreated. This is relatively easy to do and seems to be commonly done, at least for bigger apps.

Having worked in both Android and iOS development, I can assure you that they both have some ridiculous quirks and confusing APIs, but you eventually just learn to deal with them.
Do you plan to improve Cache-Control to make cache busting possible? Otherwise, even if the browser has the resource cached, there will still be a round trip to revalidate.
y and p are better suited to vim usage than control c v I'm not sure what shortcuts you want similar to other tools.

Leaving vim is easy :x if you want to save your work :q if you don't need to :q! if you want to discard all changes to a file These are 3 different operations with the 2 common cases taking 2 characters.

Ultimately if you just wanted different defaults you could trivially provide it as a plugin to vim.

Oh, I had thought he stepped down from the day to day role but still had significant investment and control.

There are many firms where the owner is never present, but all employees know not to cross them. (E.g. Washington Post & Jeff Bezos).
I hate this comparison. Stock based compensation didn't exist in 1965. It's an oranges to apples comparison.

CEO salaries today are still about 20-1, depending on the business. For instance:

- Doug McMillon of Walmart makes $1.2 million in salary.

- James Quincy of Coca-Cola makes $1.5 million in salary.

- JPMorgan's CEO Jamie Dimon has a $1.5 million salary.

- Sundar Pichai of Google makes $2 million in salary.

You only get 312-1 by adding in performance based stock and incentive alignment options. But these don't come from the cashflow of the business like wages and salary. They come from diluting Wall Street. Knowing this, the whole thing is way less of an outrage. The comparison is so uneducated.

If there is outrage over CEO pay, it doesn't make sense to come from the unions or left politicians, it should be coming from activist hedge fund billionaires, which it does. Carl Icahn for example is wildly against this level of CEO compensation because it dilutes his ownership.

John Doe on his forklift stacking pallets in the Coca Cola factory is not made poorer over excessive CEO pay. Carl Icahn is.
I have to say that requiring phone numbers is an obnoxious practice. I don't have (or want) a phone number so I would be unable to participate in such a community.
Honestly the amount of negativity towards Elastic in this thread is jarring. I’ve been an ES customer (self hosted, some cloud) for years and have only good things to say about them. Maybe I’m less a fan of the number of features they try to bake in and the direction of the company towards using logs for metrics (which causes heavy disk load instead of just storing metrics in time series) but. Yeah.

I truly believe the negative voices are coming to the fore in this thread or they are paid Amazon folks (or they have a vested interest in AWS succeeding here).
PG doesn't run YC anymore (he retired quite a few years back), which is the org that pays for HN.
Very good article. Clear and concise.
It pertains not just to this field of study, but to most scientific research.
We have seen many of these issues discussed (scientific reporting, publishing) on HN, but this writer summarises a few very good solutions, towards the end of the article. How to achieve reproducibility, establishing shared experimental techniques, editorial ownership, are examples.
So in other words you admit you inferred from her deposition something she didn't actually say.

> Maybe I should add, the way I view the 2008 crisis, is that lot of new money were already created by private sector in the asset (housing) bubble

And why did this happen? Because the federal government repealed Glass-Steagal in the 90s and allowed the banks to do so by trading in risky securities. So, even in this case that you brought up, the money was in effect created by the policy of the legislature.

Leadership within a realm begets influence. The entire goal of the FSF as a political organization is to influence the software industry to follow the core principles of Free Software that it espouses. By failing to be in a leadership position, and failing to do things to (re)gain the position, the organization as a whole is failing. The fact that companies representing "100s of billions of dollars in capital" had to put out statements regarding RMS returning to the FSF should tell you just how much of a leadership position the FSF used to have and how much they are damaging it by continuing to associate themselves with RMS.
It really comes down to how well they can emulate X86. People aren't going to give up access to 3 decades of Windows software.

Starts at decade born 40's and goes from there. This is the moral equivalent of starting in mid March to look at stock gains. If we had the same information from the founding of our country until today it would probably look closer to a U with "born in the 40's" being pretty damn close to the top of that U. This should not be used by anyone to make any conclusions.

The world just went through massive war that destroyed nearly all of Europes infrastructure and the demand to fix it mostly manifested as opportunity for Americans. Since then Europe has rebuilt and both India and China have arrived on the scene as powerhouses of their own. We will never have the same opportunities that we had then again, or at least we should all pray we don't.
I don't think Nilay was talking about digital copies. The abundance of music on the internet has hurt artists like Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift's album wouldn't even be in the top 10 sales of 80's albums. It looks even worse if you consider the US had 100 million less people than now (nearly a third less).
Who said race was always the only thing? Can you link me to that comment?
Old tech.

New software development is 99% aimless churn.

We don’t need more new tech. We need better applications of old tech. There is so much software that works perfectly fine already. What’s missing is connecting it to real world problems.
that's completely fair!

but on the other hand some might think that the FSF is becoming one of those organizations were "social indignation" has more importance than "due process" and it might alienate old and new contributors that value that aspect.

Politics is always a trade off, you can't make everybody happy.
From the article:

> Google believes that there are three main reasons for audio issues – users have accidentally muted YouTube, the output device has been changed (this happens when users have two monitors with one audio connection), and the third reason is Windows 10’s drivers.

It certainly isn't "mostly due to drivers", but is at least "frequently due to drivers" as it's in the top 3 (but maybe not top 1, where 'most' would be meant).

Also, this mostly speaks to Windows being the most popular operating system in the consumer pc world; and further, to the varied collection of Windows computer configurations. Windows machine users are probably more likely to use more than one monitor, and especially to use monitors with HDMI, where sound is most likely to be carried over and confuse the multiple sound devices.

I take issue with the editorialized title here on Hacker News.

edit: I don't like Microsoft, why am I finding myself defending them so much, lately? Can we at least be honest about the problems with Microsoft, rather than make them the random big baddies in areas that they're not?

Not familiar with Solr but I believe the analogy to linux would be choosing the preferred distro while they all use the same kernel. There are a bunch of long comparison lists if you search for it.
Elasticsearch has done a good job of focusing on the log analytics space, and Kibana is a great tool.

I'd probably use ES for any log analytics and Solr for things like website and ecommerce search.

Of course, you could do both with either.
That would be a very difficult experiment to design. Whatever process one used to isolate heavy water would invariably affect the concentration of trace amounts of other molecules. While the two samples might taste subtly different, the difference might be due to some mineral picked up (or lost) in the separation process. I wonder how rigorously they controlled for this? Would you run a spectroscopic analysis on both samples to ensure they were identical but for the DO2? And, even then, one would have to wonder whether the density of the liquid may be having some subtle effect on the manner in which contaminants—-even if identical in concentration in both samples—-are being uptook into the taste nerves.
Fish keepers too. However it's not recommended in areas that use chloramines in addition to chlorine, as those are less volatile.

Care to explain this statement to me then? Seems pretty clear to me, but you seem to be interpreting it very differently.
I'm suggesting exactly that, yes. Can't happen.
Exactly. And I also think looking at money only may not go far enough. At the end of the day what matters is the amount of resources that the society allow a person to enjoy during her/his life, from food to home ownership to work opportunities, to access to vaccine.

It's pretty clear that a new class of people (founders, VCs and people close to them) are capturing a larger part of the resources today while the majority gets a decreasing share of that. And we should all be working at finding way to reverse that trend.

Strictly speaking you're correct, but you're describing the should rather than the is. There are too many overly-long ToSes written in arcane legalese to do mundane things like use a website or play a game for the average person to comprehend even the fist time for everything they use, let alone keeping up with the changes and their implications.

The utter absence of self awareness on the part of Twitter is really impressive.

I am working towards this goal, sort of: I believe that TLS should be self-configuring. I've built a spec and some tools around automatically issuing TLS certificates automatically in a well-defined place in Kubernetes clusters. You then call my init code to start up your services - Exactly like you'd call http.ListenAndServe(), you call KubeTLS.ListenAndServe(). The code is simple enough, and there's a little script you run on your development machine to create a self-signed cert locally.

It should detract from what their accomplishments appear to be though. Our society worships the ultra rich mostly without recognition of societies own contribution.

Where would Amazon be without pre-existing innovation and infrastructure that the public paid for? Systems like roads, education, technologies, safe working environments, etc.

We tend to regard these uber rich as though their success happened in a vacuum and all of those billions are justified.

(I’m not accusing the rich themselves of necessarily promoting or having this view point. That would vary by case. Just that it’s society’s view in general.)
Doesn't the article point out that this is pretty much the normal condition of life, with a brief interlude from the 50s into the 80s? Yes, life is unpredictable, bad things happen for no reason. This is a moral condition we all have to accustom ourselves to. I'd speculate that the pain our society seems to be going through now represents a correction towards the normal condition, and that we should adjust our expectations accordingly.

You're starting from the wrong place if you're comparing Elasticsearch with a database. And you're also arriving at the wrong place if you think that any database can be distributed.

Well, the thing is you generally can't make $150k in a place where a few years of that salary will sustain you for years. If you are making $150k per year you are living in a place where you can live comfortably, but you'll still need to work every year for a long time.
Ironically, the article then proceeds to note that a variety of supplements are actually useful to many people, depending on their needs, and indeed, notes that only multivitamins are actually a waste of money.

I would never debug with that mindstate. I don't trust myself.
Depends, performance wise it should be able to compete with or even outperform x86 in many areas. A big problem until now was cross compatibility regarding peripherals, which complicates running a common OS on ARM chips from different vendors. There is currently a standardization effort (Arm SystemReady SR) that might help with that issue though.
I think it's somewhat similar to innovator's dilemma, a lot of current tech leaders were once the underdog and now are at the top, so they end up becoming complacent and non-innovators or slow innovators like the companies they replaced.

An example of really cool smart contract usage is borrowing against your crypto, for example, this person/group was able to borrow roughly 340M$ [1], the best part, they didn't even had to provide their name or deal with any other human, all enabled by a smart contract that they can inspect and verify.

You liked his idea that for a startup to scale, you should be doing things that don't scale. That article has mostly anecdotal evidence, and yet nobody ever pushed back on it. How do we know PG was right back then? (He was.)

A few years later, that same guy writes an extensive essay with footnotes and data that must have taken days to compile (going all the way back to 1892). And yet, this one rubs you the wrong way.

I am not defending PG or attacking you, but just consider this explanation as a possibility: when it comes to how to build a startup, you don't really have skin in the game. Whatever he says, it's unlikely to impact your life. But the minute we start talking about the Gini coefficient, the stakes are higher - it's getting political. Suddenly, it's like listening to Rush Limbaugh make an argument - isn't it clear that no Democrat will ever agree with anything that Rush has ever said, no matter how factual or not it is?

I, for one, appreciate PG's ability to tie together global macro movements in a way that I've never heard anyone else summarize. You might agree or not with his take on the Gini coefficient (and especially his lack of acknowledgement or suggestions on how to deal with its consequences), and you might also get frustrated that PG is starting to dabble in politics, which is going to make him very polarized no matter how right or wrong he is. But there's still a ton of useful advice in this essay no matter which side of the political fence you stand on (eg: in 2021, if you're debating between entrepreneurship and finance/VC, choose entrepreneurship).
I think the lesson for HN readers is that if you're going to fire your best talent, make sure they document everything well ahead of time.
