This problem is not nearly close to being solved, but if you look at the more general area around "crypto"(currency), lots of projects are exploring novel forms of funding development, maintenance and usage of decentralized networks, either for themselves or as generalized solutions[1].

(Obligatory disclaimer pre-acknowledging the drive-by comments when mentioning anything crypto on HN: yes there are lots of scams, yes lots of illegal activity uses these networks, yes blockchain is often used as a buzzword)
It's important to gauge the value of the result - is it producing something that looks nice or something useful.
Yeah, but the parent comment is talking about Japanese Americans, not Japanese in America. The experience of Japanese Americans is not related to Japanese people (especially if raised in Japan).
Automated builds are the way to go. We're revamping our release process to avoid stale-binary syndrome. If you don't follow us on Gitter, where you'll see active chat every day, you can look at https://progress.red-lang.org/ to see what's been done. Or just look at github graphs of commits.

We absolutely lost some focus with the blockchain aspect, and are rolling with all the punches as best we can. Sustainability is key, so we're also working on commercial products to that end. Got our first one out last year, and the next one is in the planning stages.

Our first product is https://www.redlake-tech.com/products/diagrammar-for-windows..., and all features are enabled for free. The only limitation is that exported images are watermarked. We also sponsor licenses for other FOSS projects.
And they got Capone for tax evasion. Brushing off a conviction under 18 U.S. Code § 1752 -- which seems to be what people are being charged[0] with -- as "petty nonsense" is itself misleading, as it's the part of law that deals with "PRESIDENTIAL AND PRESIDENTIAL STAFF ASSASSINATION, KIDNAPPING, AND ASSAULT"[1]

This is true of any undercover operation, and should be vastly less true than, say, infiltrating a gang or mob group.
> Why invade Iraq?

For the same reason the US occupied Afghanistan for two decades, destroyed Syria and toppled Libya. An attempt to strip Russia's influence out of the Middle East and wider region as a continuation of the eternal great powers conflict. The US has been conflicting with China across Asia, battling over influence, for decades in a similar way.

One of the highest ranking and most decorated generals in US history - four star general Wesley Clark - is on public record stating that this is the exact reason we did it, as told directly to him by his pals in the Pentagon as the plans were being put into action and before we wrecked Syria or Libya (both of which were on the list to come next).

Now the US is leaving Afghanistan and guess who is stepping into the regional great power void: Russia. And there's George W Bush now saying we shouldn't leave Afghanistan, he doesn't want the US to cede regional influence to Russia. Globalist warmongers are gonna be globalist warmongers.

Oil is a very distant consideration next to military dominion and regional influence/control. If the US wanted Iraqi oil, Saddam would have sold it to the US by the millions of barrels per day at any time the US wished it. Hell, Saddam would have sold it under the table at a steep discount. It was very obviously not about the oil. Oil is merely one of many strategic items on the board. Sometimes I think the warmongers in DC prefer the false "they did it for the oil" premise, it's preferable to the truth, that we smashed the US fiscally and got thousands of our soldiers killed, to spar with Russia over influence. But that's the same exact reason we invaded Vietnam, we weren't there for oil either, we were there for the influence/control over the region. We're also not all over Eastern Europe for the oil, either; again, it's the power conflict with Russia.
> Tell that to the recent graduate getting multi hundred of thousand offers (with stock!) from FAANG companies.

Compensation for labor is not exclusive to a capitalist system. You can receive compensation for labor irrespective of the ownership structure of a corporation. But since you've brought stock into it, that would prove my point -- it doesn't matter how meritorious the individual employee is, their total reward is based on their ownership. It may be that the corporation decides to give the employee more stock if they demonstrate merit, but that just reinforces the point that ownership is the fundamental determiner of compensation.

> Tell that to the entrepreneur owning 100% of his brand new company after filling a few forms and paying a small fee. Because that new company is worth exactly 0.

Okay, but under a capitalist system if that company grows the owner gets 100% of the gains. If someone else (employees) help the owner grow the company, they don't share in that at all (beyond the compensation they received for their labor).

> Making that property worth something is everything. And that’s why self made billionaires deserve their rewards.

I've yet to see an example of a self-made billionaire, sorry. Behind every billionaire is a legion of employees doing the actual value creation. And that's why no one deserves a billion dollars.

Ask HN: Studying linear algebra for machine learning
I'm struggling to understand some machine learning concepts because my linear algebra is a bit rusty. Any resources you'd recommend for brushing up? I'm currently watching 3Blue1Brown's Essence of Linear Algebra series.
Right, and I left this out of my already-lengthy comment just so it wasn't a total wall of text. If you can easily host your 'censored' ideas on some other corner of the Internet- what exactly is the problem? Why are you entitled to Google's private property, specifically? You've been asked to leave one establishment, and are free to simply go elsewhere.

We've entered a Golden Age for radical/controversial content- totally unthinkable freedom to say or read anything that would've been technically impossible even in the 80s. It's actually the opposite of censorship- never have people been so free to express any view, thanks to the Internet. I'm not really clear the level of hysteria over Google Drive's policies, specifically- 4chan or another site just like 4chan will always be there
We can't make any distinction at all?
Ah I see, there's more than one other cofounder. Silly me, I used the Google info box..
photo manipulation is pervasive, but I don't take that as evidence that it is actually being believed as truth. I'm not really sure what the subliminal effects are. If you see an ad for a fast food burger on TV it might successfully make you hungry, and make you want to go to that restaurant, but nobody really expects the food they get will look anything like the food in the ad did.
64-bit is high on our list, but also a huge task, so needs a large block of time where other things won't get done. We have some big features we're pushing on now, and will update our roadmap accordingly.
If only there were some way to not read something we are uninterested in. But alas, we live in a world where we have no choice in what to read. Until that day comes when we can just choose not to read something, I guess we will have to resort to... raging because other people read and discuss topics we would rather not read about ourselves.
This is the kind of thinking causing FOSS or other grassroots movements to fail. Convenience is extremely important. Much like you don't wake up every day taking pride in understanding every aspect of the electrical and water distribution to your house or how your car engine works, most people don't want to understand how their software works. That doesn't mean it shouldn't be easy for folks who _want to understand_, but unfortunately a lot of grassroots software just gatekeeps this way. The result is the slow death of GPC as users use the thing that's easy and there's no privacy or freedom-respecting alternatives that non-technical users can actually use.
Great idea! Could this concept be extended/implemented using first-order logic to allow automated deductions to discover new security premises? It would probably take a huge amount of modeling, but imagine if that could also be used to drive fuzzers to test hypotheses about vulnerable components.
This is not a new phenomenon. It's been known that birth control pill alters a woman's preference. While ovulating, there's a distinct preference for more more masculine type men. The pill seems to alter the preference towards less masculine men.

What's not mentioned is just what women preferred in this instance - that is, which did they find more attractive. It was measuring attitudes during the pandemic and hints that they found them less attractive and therefore less interested in casual sex, which would confirm the previous studies.

These aren't comparable to hard drives because they're all mass produced copies of a master. Hard drives can be arbitrarily written with whatever data you desire.

tapes? optical discs? they last longer than hard drives, but have other trade-offs.
Chiming in on your update. It's my understanding as well that it's only related to distribution of content. There's nothing keeping you from storing misinformation on your personal Drive, but if you're linking to it from Facebook and using it to, say, sway a political election, cutting off others' access to it makes some sense.

That may be true of Plato, Aristotle, etc. But one thing I have learned from history is that there is almost always a contingent of people that do find terrible things like slavery abhorrent and were even outspoken about it. But if you are an elite, and benefit greatly from something, you are probably much less likely to be outspoken against it.
Even FB can't immediately shut down millions of people producing tens of millions of comments. Unless FB develops a human-level AI - or completely bans all right-wing personalities and any mention of them from accessing the service, which they aren't ready to do yet - there always will be people that slip through, and a lot of them. You can't pre-moderate a service with a billion users, especially when you're still pretending you're for open communication and have no ideological controls, and the moderation is just for safety.
No. If you can’t convince others to pay for or fund it, you shouldn’t be convinced either.
Yes!! The lack of green-blue distinction is prevalent enough in linguistics that the term "grue" has entered the lexicon.

Paul and Kay (1969) argue for a linguistic universal which posits that the set of which colors a language has is a function of how many colors it has. (Stealing from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity_and_the_...):

1. All languages contain terms for black and white.
2. If a language contains three terms, then it contains a term for red.
3. If a language contains four terms, then it contains a term for either green or yellow (but not both).
4. If a language contains five terms, then it contains terms for both green and yellow.
5. If a language contains six terms, then it contains a term for blue.
6. If a language contains seven terms, then it contains a term for brown.
7. If a language contains eight or more terms, then it contains terms for purple, pink, orange or gray.

The opposite of the grue phenomenon exists too, i.e. languages which subdivide the "blue" part of the spectrum into separate lexemes. In Russian, for instance, goluboy = light blue, whereas siniy = blue to dark blue. This morning I was reading the Wikipedia entry for color revolution, and there's a quote from Belarusian President Lukashenko, "They [the West] think that Belarus is ready for some 'orange' or, what is a rather frightening option, 'blue' or 'cornflower blue' revolution." I had to chuckle about that - it sounds so goofy in the English translation, but that's only because we don't have a lexical distinction there. (Now I would have personally translated it to light blue, but that's another matter.)
What does the “Majority of People” mean?

The enlightenment concept of free speech is likely a minority viewpoint among the people of the world. However I also think it is the correct view and that corporations or governments looking to censor speech are infringing on human rights, and believe in fighting for it the same as I would fight against racism, slavery, religious discrimination, authoritarianism, and so on. Just because a lot of people believe something is ok does not make it right.
It’s impossible to plot colors on a chromaticity diagram in a way that isn’t grossly misleading. This particular picture is one attempt at a compromise that will give readers the right conceptual impression, not “broken” accidentally.

The best compromise if you want color might instead be to only color a narrow strip around the triangle forming the gamut of your trichromatic additive display (or, say, sRGB), with intensity of the 2-primary mixture at each point adjusted so that lightness doesn’t vary too sharply.

A large portion of the horseshoe is outside your display’s gamut; common pictures either color the outside of the gamut gray, or try to clip out-of-gamut chromaticities to the nearest in-gamut chromaticity. The former is confusing for viewers who don’t already know what they are looking at; the latter gives a false impression. For the colors that are shown, one typical way to plot a 2-dimensional picture of the gamut is “top down” with the most intense available color for each chromaticity, but this introduces substantially misleading lightness artifacts based on the display not based on chromaticities per se.

Beyond that, the xy chromaticity diagram should not be used. Stick to the u'v' chromaticity diagram.

Steve Wozniak wanted - and built - a pre-assembled computer for tinkerers and engineers; it also turned out to have some mass market appeal as a game and spreadsheet machine, and Apple made a fair amount of money selling it to hobbyists, gamers, schools, and businesses.

Steve Jobs realized that computing appliances (from computers that you couldn't open up to handheld music/game/app/phone devices) for people who typically had little or no interest in tinkering or engineering ("the rest of us") was a much larger market. Apple claimed the high margin section of that market and became one of the wealthiest companies on the planet.

I recall a story about Jobs being opposed to hardware - and software! - upgrades for the original Mac because "you don't upgrade your toaster." That's precisely the thinking behind the iPod, iPhone, iPad, and Apple watch - except Apple now knows that you'll have to buy a new internet-connected toaster every few years if they stop producing security bug fixes for your old one.
> We conclude that although the use of the keyword unsafe is limited, the propagation of unsafeness offers a challenge to the claim of Rust as a memory-safe language.

By this definition, is there any memory safe language?

They all boil down to unsafe dependencies. Even if you ignore interpreter abstractions, any language with FFI is unsafe but without any way to audit it.

(Non-rhetorical question). I don't understand why the article writes off κυάνεος / κύανος as "later stages of Greek", when it's already present in Herodotus [0]. Just how a big of a sample size do they have between Homer and Herodotus, that they can interpret the evolution of such a minor, infrequent word? Isn't Homer basically "before written literature" Greek anyway?

edit: Also, wasn't Homer supposed to be a blind dude?

One of my first guides was a book called Wherever You Go, There You Are.

I learned how to do breath focus meditation and started practicing it several times per day for about a minute at a time, whenever I caught myself annoyed or waiting.

This is like the 5-pound weights of meditation that helped me learn to control my attention.

From there, I looked for more books, guides, and teachers, and tried to learn something from each one. I've heard it said that a good teacher can teach any student, and a good student can learn from any teacher, and I've tried to be the latter.

Just like physical exercise, meditation is a practice, not a knowledge.
> I guess the hiring decisions are 100% unbiased if the results are indistinguishable from noise?

To be fair, that is actually true, although I don't think that's the (false) claim they're actually making.
If your site is widely used and you make it technically impossible for you see or moderate content in any way whatsoever, your site will become a host for real illegal content- not just the borderline examples I gave. As the comment above me notes, even 4chan removes CP. You place yourself in serious legal jeopardy with this decision
Pretty much all listed examples ignore quoting, especially the suggested replacements, proving opportunities for argument confusion and many are vulnerable to command injection.

Piping data that may be hostile or just accidentally dangerous into bash seems like a bad idea. At least xargs will execute the command you specified.

You should use find, or find -print0 | xargs -0. Then your file names will be parsed correctly.

echo accidental > 'apartment /home building.odt'
echo malicious > 'bobby -rf --no-preserve-root / foo'
echo bash > "$(printf "foo\n echo pipe injection)"

rm $(ls | grep foo) # bye bye system
ls | grep foo | sed 's/.*/rm &/' | bash # injection
ls | grep foo | xargs rm # dangerous though moderately constrained

rm *foo* # ok
find . -maxdepth 1 -iname '*foo*' -delete # ok
find . -maxdepth 1 -print 0 | grep --null foo | xargs -0 rm # ok

right up until the they do discover oil and then the companies come in, cities are set up, massive amounts of people get employed, the money will flow and it will be Western North Dakota all over again.
This isn’t an Airbnb problem. This is a regulatory problem. Tons of people want to visit a city, airbnb makes it possible for short-term rentals to find short-term tenants.

Getting rid of airbnb doesn’t solve your problem because some new service for finding short-term tenants will take its place.

Restricting short-term rentals by regulation does solve your problem.
I actually really like this idea.
Heard? By whom? Monopoly-capitalism directly benefits rulers, complaining to the very people who have incentives to keep the system as it is will not change anything. You and your fellow citizens have to actually do something.
You really haven't though. If you feel you have, cite it, but I'm not seeing it. All that's been asserted is that communism is terrible. I don't see how that proves that if billionaires don't exist then value can't be created. I'm not even arguing for communism. In fact you were the first one to bring communism into the discussion.

You haven't shown that one leads to the other. You're trying to use the USSR as an existence proof for your claim but the conclusion doesn't follow the premise. You have to make the connection if you want to make that claim.

You've asserted that if there are no billionaires, it follows there will be no businesses. That's a very strong claim that demands very strong proof.
There's also things like published max speeds, and then full military power speeds that are more closely held.

Those things are all really inconvenient.. Really, who wants to go out and mail something and wait for it to arrive? And gift cards risk the same kind of banning of credit card companies. This is going to limit any business beyond inviability.

The only thing you mention there that is a serious alternative are cryptocurrencies. And those are constanly fluctuating, needing very complex hedging against sudden value changes. And still something that most consumers will really struggle with. Most will not have a clue how to obtain crypto or how to deal with it (safely).

It might work for a really highly educated niche, but not for 99% of consumers. They just want to put in their paypal or credit card details and click buy now.
This analysis glosses over the underlying problem that drives the dynamic: the existence of NIMBY regulation and restrictions that artificially constricts the supply of housing.

Without supply constraints, the existence of wealthy high-end housing demand subsidizes not competes with working class demand. That’s because the primary characteristic of high-end housing is newness. Today’s luxury housing becomes tomorrow’s middle class housing.

This isn’t just theoretical speculation. We know this is exactly how markets without supply constraints work because of the used car market. Rich car drivers who insist on new, luxury vehicles dramatically lower the cost of car ownership for everyone else by creating a robust used car market. There’s no such thing as “auto gentrification” because carmakers can simply create new and better supply to satisfy high-end demand.

Product quality improves continuously and the poor have access to 10 year old cars that are virtually identical to new luxury cars at a small fraction of the price. The used car market is arguably the greatest source of tangible wealth redistribution in the American economy.
