Indeed this is all of utilitarianism debunked in a nutshell. Even the concept of aggregate utility is incoherent, because it requires unjustifiable assumptions about intersubjective utility comparisons. It's not surprising that it leads to perverse conclusions if you dial the framework to 11, because it doesn't make much sense even in the small. The only thing aggregate utility does is put a veneer of objectivity over the subjective social preferences of the person doing the supposed aggregate utility calculation (one way you can view this is as a manifestation of Arrow's theorem).
Wasn't their 'solution' for this to eventually allow private inventories? Feel like at some point the number of scammers adding me dropped rapidly and I think it was for this.
My solution is walking while I read. As a result, I end up walking for 4-6 hours at a time when I have a lot of reading to do. My biggest struggle is finding good e-readers that can handle all the reading formats I need, sync annotations, and have good connectivity. Still haven't found one. I'm not sure they exist yet.

I also find myself saving things to read, because I struggle to read them while sitting, but never quite get around to reading everything.

They are attacking this from every angle. Lawyers will lawyer, the techies will techie. If they just change the tech to fix it, it becomes a cat and mouse game (already is). If they kick their butts in court and force them to a $100m pay, they will teach a good lesson these guys, and force the next ones rethink it.

In my country's technology courses, students are often introduced to programming through a language called Portugol which is essentially a translated Pascal. There's no compiler, no interpreter or anything. For months on end students have to write procedural code on paper with this useless language.

This looks neat, but man. I'm not a fan of code generation magic. It's part of the reason I moved away from the Rails ecosystem - even though I knew what Rails was doing under the hood, the magic started to give me the heebie-jeebies. Maybe I'm weird, but I'd rather spend 10-15 minutes writing some boilerplate for a service and control the code than trust a third-party tool to do it for me.

I also feel like this is doing too much to be a framework, in a way. Like, if it just did the code generation, cool. But add in the secret management, cloud deployment and migration stuff, and it starts to feel like a platform - which, coincidentally, it is. With pricing and everything. I can't use this to build a service that runs on AWS/GCP/my own servers - at least it doesn't look like it from first glace.

So if this were actually just a framework that could be separated from the platform stuff, I'd be willing to try it out. But as is, I'd rather write boilerplate and be able to 'go run' my service and deploy it wherever I want.

EDIT: Just found that I could deploy to another cloud provider, which is nice. I wish I didn't have to manage that via a web interface, and that it supported just building a container I could deploy anywhere.
That's a great way to make programming more accessible.

The real powerful and rich do not fear jail.
They fear people like madoff that targets them.

That is why Madoff ended his life in jail while banks/funds CEO in the 2008 are now richer than ever stealing money from the poors and taking 0 accountability for the subprime crisis that destroyed a whole decade.
In my book he was better than any of those bankers. He shown to the world that some people are smarter than the banks and that they will be severely punished if they do not abide by the laws that helps those banks to win.
Yes that's it, I wanted to put the focus on code size but maybe I should have said a word about performance as well.

I replied to the speed question in a previous comment, but can put it here as well, I don't have exact numbers to report but on average you can expect a regression around 2%, but it will depend of call latency of the core and is also impacted by cache effects, so in some cases you can have a performance improvement

I always wondered about this, and figured I was missing something. If every transaction is recorded for eternity, then tracking funds is just a matter of linking wallets to individuals, which while that may be difficult, it's not impossible. Certainly not with the kind of funds that three letter agencies command.

I always assumed the closest you could get to anonymity with any blockchain based coin is to use a burner wallet, and convert it cash as soon as the transaction is complete--but that's just using cash with extra steps.
Ding ding ding!!

People forget that there is the English internet, which is wholly different than the other languages.

The idea of a lingua franca in science and business is a net positive to be able to unify and communicate effectively. If anything we need to teach this idea better.

How do you tell someone they are in a smaller fish tank than they currently perceive?
Not ADHD, but system for reading a lot is:

non-fiction: read chapters last to first / back to front. there is usually only one big idea and most of the book is the writer sounding it out themselves.

fiction: treat it like a piece of music. If it's not as good as music, let it go.

technical: start with a hypothesis and use the book as a reference tool for discovery.

spiritual: the bible and others are the thinking person's magic 8-ball, so if you are searching, you are searching when you should probably be listening.

Cybersecurity Questions You Should Always Be Asking Your IT Vendor
> Companies now can make anyone a contractor

I don't think that's true. If you are enrolled on PAYE they can't just change you to a contractor.
In theory: yes. In practice, wiring traditional currency requires KYC (Know Your Customer) and has a lot of legal/regulatory requirements. One of that is data collection and retention for auditing purposes.
walmart actually does have customer service in stores.
amazon also tries it best to provide customer service (want a return, here is shipping label).

the problem with youtube is that you are not youtube's customer, so the dont care about you. Only advertisers are customers and youtube cares about them only.
I bet there is a big customer support department staffed with real people and serves only advertisers
Ugh, that's terrible. I had a similar situation when I started interviewing after my startup failed. It was with a major energy company for an Angular developer role. The interviews were going really well until the final interview when they asked me to do some live coding. This led to a 15 minute discussion about 5 minutes into the session about whether JS had while loops. The developer testing me was absolutely convinced that JS had no while or do/while loops and refused to move on from that point. Their loss.
Decentralised just means Apple bans it. The issue is Apple being prudish. You can't work around that with any technological fix.

The secret to not having hospitals overwhelmed is to have enough capacity in the first place, but also to avoid superspreader events. Sweden did ban some gatherings and they did close down schools briefly.

Most other lockdown measures are questionable at best, including mandatory mask usage. They are clearly symbolic tools for the political class to signal that something is being done, but the data to support them is not very strong considering that there is not much of a control group.
I'm not sure that I see how it could be a ponzi scheme. Ultimately, everyone has as many bitcoins as they believe that they have. The only question is how valuable are those coins? That should always be a function of market demand.
> diet, exercise

Against syphillis?

I suppose we've had the trifecta of bad HN comments: diet and exercise as a magic ward against all sickness, victim-blaming the AIDS crisis, and suggestions of recording everyone's sexual activity on the blockchain. I've flagged the story for this.
If the tests refered to earlier tests they would form a Merkle tree, not a blockchain. A Merkle tree is not a bad idea, because it is privacy preserving whereas a blockchain isn't.
No need to install browser extension. You can go to app.grammarly.com paste your text and spell-check it. Works great.
Agreed. Non-english for introduction is good. But for production it is going to impede collaboration and your understanding.

As a non native speaker, I have seen my friends struggle with english in grad school when they were taught math and science in their native tongue. This is a different programming language not just python with spanish variables. Translating to english and then having to translate the code later on, is going to be a huge barrier.
I am going to call out a bias. Has anyone noticed there is a new article about Facebook from guardian every week. Sometimes it highlights valid issues but this one seems similar to any media we have every used in history. Isn't guardian's opinion pieces doing exactly the same as the headline?

Social media is out in the world and it is showing truth of humanity. Is the hope that we can go back to world without social media because that ship has sailed.
Oh, please. Madoff ruined plenty of "normal" people's life savings. Say what you will about other bankers, but please don't try to elevate someone who destroyed the life savings of others.

A few thoughts:

- Defamation or slander is also illegal in the U.K. upon which the Singapore system is based. It’s much easier to be convicted of that in the U.K. than the US

- That said, I would agree that this is a pretty weak case with the convicted simply sharing a link to an article that contained false statements about the PM

- Having spent considerable time in Singapore I’m not sure I’d label them authoritarian - at least not in the way it’s commonly used.

- Legitimate elections are held although the ruling party has set up a system that is favorable to them holding power (though not impossible for them to lose)

- There is an underlying sense by the ruling party that Singapore as a system is not that stable so the govt actually works quite hard to stay on the people’s good side. Recently the govt admitted that Covid tracing data could be used for police investigations which contradicted prior statements and it did not go over well. The govt basically apologized for mishandling it and added additional protections (though didn’t back down entirely). It’s a bizarre system where the govt holds a lot of power but is very concerned about not having support.

So not excusing the lawsuit (because I think it’s a net harm) but adding some context.
Not everyone is Google, and since you work there you are surely aware of tooling like Ghidra and IDA.

GraalVM is not what I would pick for AOT Java projects, there are other products since 2000.

In any case, this isn't a comparisasion of language bullet points.

Just because a software product has been migrated from C++ into Java, .NET or whatever language, it doesn't mean it is a sacrilege to keep some native lib around, which is exactly where all mainstream OSes are going, with C++ being left for the bottom layers.

I can only consume audiobooks if I'm doing something else. It seems I have to push my brain to the edge of activity it can absorb at once. Too little activity (just listening to an audiobook) and I get bored and distracted. Too much activity (listening while coding) and I don't do either well. Listening while doing mindless tasks like cleaning or exercising seem to be just the right amount of mental activity to keep me engaged well.

Smart moves by the FBI:

The search order is set-up by a redacted URL, so we can't confirm if the servers are actually in USA. Maybe a few of these are a little bit out of FBI jurisdiction. Nobody will be allowed to check their work.

The court order begins the path of setting a legal precedent for the next time a system is determined to need "FBI patching."

Even if it's technically feasible to implement I imagine the population would not respond well to the government seizing millions of fortunes overnight.

> What's with the assumption here that there aren't humans involved in this decision? The linked post literally quotes Google saying [...]

The post literally quotes Google as saying that for the _last_ time this happened. Then the post literally states they appealed and never heard back. There is nothing concerning a human for this instance, though I suspect once the uploader reaches out (were it not for the popularity this is gaining), one could expect similar dismissal. That there are barely humans involved, and in a poor way when they are, doesn't mean there are never humans involved, true. But for many, the bare minimum of assistance is indistiguishable from no assistance.

I haven't read the book, rather I've only seen a long talk he gave on the topic, but Ha-Joon Chang's "Bad Samaritans: The Myth of Free Trade and the Secret History of Capitalism" believes the crucial component is not democracy, but rather modern incarnations of capitalism (let's just call it neoliberalism).

He argues that the US in particular became so wealthy in huge part due to it's non-free trade practices (while still being relatively democratic). Countries may liberalize later in development, but not before building their own industrial base, etc. My memory is quite hazy on the latter part -- I should read the actual book. However I can recommend seeking out his viewpoint.

Edit: his book is not so much a critique of capitalism, as a critique of free trade orthodoxy for developing nations.

You should watch the documentary Gay Sex in the 70s. Really watch it. One of the conclusions I came away with was that some kind of extremely troublesome STD was going to emerge from that particular situation. It happened to be HIV but it could have been something else entirely.

Anything where you have big globs of people exchanging bodily fluids over and over again is going to encourage the development of something infectious. It's the same reason that preschool tends to be a germ pit. If someone invented a sport called, I don't know, "Loogie Frisbee," where people stood around and took turns spitting into each other's mouths, I would expect some kind of oral infection to take off as the sport went pro.

Gold is found in nature. We can’t manufacture it or change its atomic number. Bitcoin is human code run on human machines.

Well... we'll see. It's not the first time for "actually being constantly watched" either. eg stazi/etc.

There is somewhat of a distinction between spying to sell you papmers and spying to maintain political power/stability. The latter can get bad fast. Ad businesses can be creepy, but their motivation is mostly just to sell you stuff. In both cases, it doesn't feel great at first... but you do get used to it.

Spying to make you sell pampers... that can go either way. Whatever lock-in powers Apple or FB wield... bosses have more power over employees than retailers over consumers. Add privacy belligerence to labour relations... third party ecosystems.

Yes. Elsewhere in the thread, I linked the official Danish vaccine calendar [1] (from today, April 14) which estimates that 65 years and above will complete vaccination end of May, though this is subject to change based on actual deliveries.

That is something that applies to all sorts of situations, and is in no way a litmus test for whether or not something is a Ponzi scheme.

For it to be a Ponzi scheme, you first have to have some sort of centralized control of the ledger so that you can lie to people about the volume of assets they have in your care. And already we have made a complete departure from what Bitcoin is and how it works.
Here's where my misconceptions may start: it seem to me like meds are the only real treatment. This could be wrong.

IIRC, psychiatrists don't have that tool in their toolbox, so would a psychologist or neurologist be better?

And to be clear, I'm not just looking to get meds. But I'd like to avoid pinging in between different doctors. So if I can go to one that has all available tools at their disposal, that would seem the most straightforward.
