The problem with communism is that it requires a lot of trust in a central authority. Capitalism only requires trust that the capitalist system keeps working. It's a very low bar and there are countries that still fail to meet it. If you raise the bar via communism, aren't you bound to fail?

One way to express the difference between capitalism and communism is that capitalism is discrete, it mostly works at first but when it doesn't it accumulates government failures until it fails completely, while communism is experiencing a continuous government failure all the time.

Given a sufficiently good government both could succeed but reality is imperfect.

When you have the potential for economic growth then the early years are the most important. Early failures compound by a lot. The later you fail, the more you gain through economic growth. If you 4x your wealth does it matter when it shrinks by 50%? On the other hand, if you only made 2x then a 50% crash will set you back as even a stable 1% gain would be enough to stay ahead. The opportunity cost is growing exponentially! Early failures compound! The cards are stacked against communism.

The boring answer is that we need to find a way to undo government failures in capitalism. We need the next incremental step, not a new system.

By the way, by government failures I not only include the things the government did wrong but also all the necessary things that the government did not do. Today capitalism is mostly suffering from inaction.
I'm with you, Onenote has a unique niche.

My pet theory is that Onenote can be seen by some HN types as too pedestrian (therefore not worth mentioning) because it is so popular yet is looked down on because it is made by Microsoft. MS is often looked down on by linux-first-everything-is-markdown techies because of their 90s and Windows 10 sins.

How Recruiters and HR Managers Search for Best Candidate on LinkedIn?
Trivially, for any finite string (in a finite alphabet), there is a finite program (Turing machine, whatever) which outputs that string given empty input. Hence, "the mental activities of conscious, aware living beings" are trivially computable if there exists a finite string which describes them with perfect accuracy.

Furthermore, there obviously are some computable patterns in those activities, so the shortest possible computable program to generate that description will actually be shorter than the length of the description itself.

One could respond that a string describing those mental activities, no matter how accurately, is a different thing from the mental activities themselves. I think that is indeed the correct response, but it has nothing to do with any questions of computability.

(Another response would be to claim that those mental activities cannot be finitely described because they are actually infinite. Few however will want to claim that human minds are infinite.)
That's correct, however we also allow defining custom "Key fields", which is how you can tell us which fields are unique and should be invalidated by (e.g. "User.email").
Thanks, I'll try it out
I’d say it’s played out ... ambiguously. Conservative HTTP unworkable, liberal TLS dangerous. JSON for internal APIs and data succeeded because it’s conservative, XHTML and XML+XSLT on the open web failed for the same reason. Postel’s law is less of a universal principle than it initially seemed to be, sure, but it appears to me that part of the reason for its increasing irrelevance is our moving away from open ecosystems and not deficiencies valid in its original context.

Integer encoding (as opposed to e.g. encoding of opaque binary strings) actually appears to be a bad example to me: various universal binary encoding protocols, self-describing or not, have an astounding number of unsigned and signed integer encodings among them. It’s like inventing a new one is a rite of passage or something.

Well the pitch part was simply competition, it started when one team decide to take pitch seriously and had competitive advantage, then everyone else had to do it. EPL is also the most competitive league, people were watching lots of it, there were money, and then incentives.... And as mentioned, expert commentators really set it apart.

Generally speaking football is about the only thing Brits give a damn about. Since all the incentives align, great things came out of it. ( Which also made football too commercial and not as fun to watch )
Which I really liked. It was a performance hog, but beautiful.
I appeciate how Schmidhuber puts focus on non-US-centric history of Deep Learning and modern AI.

He sometimes overdoes these. Even when something is not related to Deep Learning and modern AI. He tries to push very narrow and one-sided views without much room for nuance.

For example- "Turing used his (quite inefficient) model only to rephrase the results of Gödel and Church on the limits of computability."

He is trying to say that Turing did nothing new, his work is a mere extension of Godel's (!), and he only accounted for practical computational reality. That is not true.

He goes on further by saying, "Later, however, the simplicity of these machines made them a convenient tool for theoretical studies of complexity." Like, Turing and Church's work was only good for that. I digress. I believe that Turing's work is more seminal and paved the way for modern general computers.

Another bit here says "The formal models of Gödel (1931-34), Church (1935), Turing (1936), and Post (1936) were theoretical pen & paper constructs that cannot directly serve as a foundation for practical computers."

It is putting the works of Turing, Post, Church, and Godel all together. Like they are the same. I see the logic as they are all impractical, but they are different levels of impractical. Putting them all under one bracket like that makes no sense.

I respect Schmidhuber a lot, but some of his behaviour is borderline childish which are more pronounced in his claims about AI history. You should be skeptical about what he says (and what anyone says).

Despite all this, I did not know many things written in this article. I learned a lot and had fun reading it.

I first read about Zuse in Isaacson's Innovators book. Did not know that he used a high-level language for a chess program. Fascinating. He is very underrated.

I believe most tutoring is forced by parents not voluntarily by the pupils. Having higher and better academic achievements is ingrained in the culture, this is important. The banning would only create black markets for tutoring which can be easily done.

It looks like the online tutoring giants would be affected the most. Since the CCP is having crackdowns on online tech companies, I wonder if the banning could also be part of the crackdown.

> Spoken Cantonese and mandarin are mutually unintelligible, but in written form, at least without colloquialisms, they are basically the same language.

They are not. Written Cantonese, in fact, uses the Mandarin grammar and the Mandarin lexicon and is, essentially, Mandarin, not Cantonese. There are substantial differences in the grammar and in the basic lexicon between the two to make them distinct languages. Written Cantonese that uses the Cantonese lexicon is incomprehensible to a Mandarin speaker, either, just as the spoken Cantonese is.

No, but some of us do get incredibly pissed off with them.

It's unendingly tiresome to find that some piece of content has disappeared from the web, or been moved without a redirect. Often archive.org can help but there's plenty of stuff that's just ... gone.

I don't necessarily run into this problem every day, but anything up to two or three times a week depending on what I'm looking for.
It's very simple: you have a banking app that shows you an amount in bitcoin. If you want to send someone else money, you get their own bank account number, and ask your bank to wire that person 1 bitcoin. Your bank talks to their bank and tells them that they are now owed 1 bitcoin.

At no point does this bitcoin have to live in the BTC wallet of you, your bank, your friend's bank, or your friend. In fact, this BTC can be entirely fictional. As long as your bank has enough BTC in their actual wallet that they are at no serious risk of running out if a realistic proportion of their customers wanted to withdraw their BTC, as determined by the Fed or other national entity, then all is well.

This is anyway the only realistic possible use of BTC itself, as the blockchain is far, far too slow to use for day to day transactions even in a large village/small town. I can also promise you that this is exactly what day to day use of BTC in El Salvador will look like, more or less, if they do go through with it.

Edit to add: the dollar was once based on gold. We've moved on from that after realizing that doesn't work. Today's dollar is very much not tied to gold, and it is used in ways gold is not.

Once again, another clueless and anonymous coward commenting. To compare the Irgun to the Hamas (who's an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood) is preposterous, and it is clear to me that you're an idiot. The Irgun was essentially founded because of the bloody riots of 1929, and it was not even a mainstream organization.

Personally, I've been hoping they'd do this for a while since it's annoying having two versions of each interpreter installed (the system one that can't be updated and the one I installed myself via Mac Ports). Anyone who uses these languages much probably already has a package manager installed. I think they should leave Perl, though, since it's as much as Unix system utility like awk or sed as a programming language.
Oh, so sorry that we prefer to not be reliant on third parties, having our transaction histories be sold etc. Just like how we were the last country where Firefox had the majority in marketshare because we like(d) our privacy, so too do we like having control of our money, despite the banks' and government's attempts to undermine it by restricting the use of cash, pushing CCs on people and so on.

Promoting uniform official language is a perfectly fine state policy with a tonn of benefits, including costs reduction, economic integration improvements, increased social and workforce mobility.

CCP crimes are countless, but existing of such policy is clearly not one of them.

Questions could and should be asked in regard to tools and apparatus used in such transition, for example repressions, violence and forced re-education. IF they were used.
I think the problem is that a number of books that claim to have direct impact on your life/career are perfectly capable of being written as a 100 page book, but are stuffed with repetition to pad it 300-400 pages. Reading through these can be quite a slog.

Also, to keep up with the marketing machine, the authors churn out a new title every 3 years or so. It would be a few news ideas and lots of ideas from the older books rehashed. It would be much better if the new sections are clearly demarcated in the book. Not sure if the author is to blame though. It might be the publishing house or a general perception among readers that more is better. Shelling out money for a small book might not feel as justifiable for some readers.

What ever the case, at least for the self help books, it would be great if the authors have the liberty to write shorter books. It would save the author's time, the publisher's time, the millions of readers' time, not to mention, reams of paper.

I fell victim to this when in my young naïveté, I believed all books are worth reading.
There are a few books in this category that I want to read, but I value my time too much to read them.

When used correctly it shouldn't produce any side-effects outside the mapping of each element.

But that's just a social convention. There's nothing stopping you from doing other things during your map or reduce.

In practice, the only difference between Map, Reduce and a For loop is that the first two return things. So depending on whether you want to end up with an array containing one item for each pass through the loop, "something else", or nothing, you'll use Map, Reduce or forEach.

You can still increment your global counters, launch the missiles or cause any side effects you like. "using it correctly" and not doing that is just a convention that you happen to prefer.
Good thing I still keep the version pinned at 68!

I'm suggesting that you can cache both at the data layer and "above the app". I was just highlighting one particularly powerful patterns available if you're having trouble scaling (like my parent said).

> making sure, that when content changed, to invalidate it properly on the edge is not trivial

The trivial way to do this is simply not to invalidate. Include a version in the cache key. When content changes, the version increases, and clients get new versions. (I think this is sometimes called lazy cache invalidation). It works well with LRU caches. It's still a hit for the top-level keys, but you avoid all the heavy data load and rendering.

Granted, that doesn't solve every case, but I'm not sure it's fair to say that it'll take more custom code when the initial approach took "months building custom caching" that never really worked. Also, I think you'll find your origin under less load due to having fewer variants.

To correctly measure the quality of an item one needs to take something like Google's PageRank algorithm and apply it to people. That is, there needs to be some measure of the reputation of the person posting. This doesn't mean that a person who was correct in the past is necessarily correct right now, but it is true that people who are often correct tend to go on being correct, and people who are often wrong tend to go on being wrong. Careful people tend to continue to be careful, and sloppy people tend to continue to be sloppy. It's important to capture that reality and use it as a weight given to any particular answer.
I see your point, but I don't agree about why XHTML failed. For starters, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHATWG (Basically, XHTML failed because it was a pointless boondoggle, whereas HTML5 very much wasn't.)

I don't think it makes sense to talk about significant digits here. And while you are correct that you should not go from 999.9MB to 1.0 GB you are incorrect about your reasoning and your correction is also incorrect. Significant digits signify reliability of the numbers. So if your measurement is accurate to the +/- 50kB as indicated by 999.9MB you should then move to 1.0000 GB (5 significant digits). So it should be 10.00GB and 1.00GB not 1.000GB, because the reliability should not change between your measurements.

Both the discovery of Lambda Calculus and the Turing Machine as models of computation are quite important and immediately useful, I'd say.
