"Several caveats are in order. Hayek did not predict that planning a single aspect of the national economy would lead to totalitarianism. He even offers ‘modern towns’ as an area where some planning is necessary"

Sort of renders the whole article unnecessary to me.
I live in Detroit and within the past few years 3 arcade bars have opened within walking distance of my apartment and another is about to open. These are the places I tend to frequent (actually about to go to one to after writing this and went to another last night). The thing that separates them from console or PC games for me is pinball. I cannot justify buying a machine, but I’m loving the resurgence.
Arguably scepticism towards the Euro as a currency and Britain wanting nothing to do with it after the crisis was a key pillar of Brexit, so I wouldn’t say it went down amazingly. I remember during the campaign there was a fairly widespread notion that an overly Europhile government like Tony Blair’s might irreversibly commit the UK to the Eurozone, which was always an act that polled terribly.
> For example, early in ancient empires, many rose in status via winning military battles, or perhaps by building new trading regimes. But later in such empires, status was counted more in terms of your connections to other statusful people. Which led to neglect of military success, and thus empire collapse.

Is this really a good example? Building an empire and holding it are different things. Many empires collapse from succession disputes and rebellion rather than a lack of military success over rivals.
I was one of the first employees at a startup. Originally a contractor. When the owner converted us all to employees, he did the math in such a way that it was clear he didn’t count weekends so we got a pay-cut.

We made a big stink out of it, but he didn’t budge until there was an outage on Saturday and we didn’t fix it until Monday. There was only three of us, colluding not to fix it, but he’d have gotten away with it if the team were bigger. It’s hard to “make a stand” when more people are involved.
Can’t they just make a new Facebook account for work or is that not possible for some reason?

Too many people who think they're smarter than they are who want to be able to tell others how they should think and live.

> What is impossible about direct temperature manipulation schemes? I'm referring to proposals like building reflectors to directly lower the earth's temperature. There's nothing in principle preventing this from directly cooling the planet.

I don't think anyone can name even one project of non-trivial scale that successfully controlled a natural environment. I am talking about something of the scale of a small to mid island. Something that might give support for a project hundreds of thousand, millions, tens of millions of times larger.

Wanting to control anything at a planetary scale is pure hubris. C'mon. As I like to say, if we listen to the fools pushing these ideas we are far more likely to kill all life on earth than to save it.

And then there are truly perplexing every-day things that provide further proof that controlling anything is hopeless. Our town is going through and repaving a bunch of streets and avenues. There's nothing --absolutely nothing-- wrong with them. I've lived here over 30 year. The streets are damn-near perfect.

Just a block from my house, they tore-up about half a mile out of this avenue and replaced it with a black tar covering. Black as can be. The prior surface was mid gray. I used to take walks down that avenue. Not any more. The heat emanating from the black surface is impossible to describe. Every single street being repaved is getting the black tar treatment. How can we possibly hope to improve anything at a planetary scale when we fuck up neighborhoods just by repaving streets.

Squatting is good in my opinion, property rights are overly favorable to property owners while neglecting the needs of the property-less. The world is not like a game of Monopoly where we all start out with the same potential and resources and succeed or fail through a combination of look and good or bad decision-making.

I think it's worth remembering that the US mores about property as enshrined the Constitution were a) meant to protect against landed aristocrats' forcible expansions of their estate, and b) codified at a time when the first Americans had colonized one relatively small corner of a continent that seemed vast beyond the imagination, and the acme of mechanization/industrial production was the water wheel.

How many of those government regulations were written by private companies who lobbied (read bribed) politicians to pass them specifically to keep out competitors? Government regulation is a very important tool, but like any tool it can be abused and used in harmful ways, especially if you don't do anything meaningful to prevent it.
It would be better to describe this as the "tragedy of the unregulated commons". In reality societies that practiced commons-based agriculture were able to collaborate effectively and limit overgrazing through laws and community norms.
I think the bluring of lines is what I'm worried about.

There's a lot of soft science when it comes to policital economy, and countries have gone all-in with policies from different branches, even though there's really no hard evidence and rigor of some of these ideas. It's mind blowing when you think that millions of people's lives are affected because politicians have had gut instincts of a soft science sounding scientific.

The attack relies on the fact that when downscaling by a large factor, the tested downscalers (except Pillow in non-nearest neighmode mode, and all of them in area averaging mode) ignore most of the pixels of the original image and compute the result based on the select few which are the same in all modes, making the result look nearly the same regardless of the mode.
I saw it more as "teachers these days" than "kids these days".

There are several approaches to exams and grading. Testing what the students have learned is a common one. In that approach, the highest grade is the expected one. You earn it if you have learned everything you are supposed to, or at least 90-95% of it. Lower grades are signs of failure.

In another approach, the exam is supposed to challenge the students. When I was undergrad, you only needed 80-85% of available points for the highest grade. Even the best students were expected to fail some assignments, because they would then learn from their mistakes. It was nice when it worked, but sometimes the problems just too difficult for no reason or required an insight nobody would ever find, expect by accident.

One grading approach is open-ended from the top and more common with theses than classes. If your work is everything one would expect, you get the second-highest or third-highest grade. Highest grades are only available for those who demonstrate understanding well beyond the scope of the class or the degree.

Can you clarify as to what you mean by "why aren't they in the tournament?"?

They are in all the professional tournaments, if you haven't noticed all the professional golfers have caddies. If you are implying why aren't they professional golfers that is a different story and has a great deal to do with skill. I have known a few professional caddies on the PGA tour and they are very good golfers just not at that upper echeleon that it takes to make a good living on the tour.

No way I agree with that at all.

s/sex/race/g see how you go with that.

s/sex/sexual preference/g likewise.

Those aren't arguments by any stretch they just highlight where too look.

There has always been really crappy, nasty arguments that people with characteristic X have a tendency to Y therefore we should/can/will be under-considered for being able to Z. To ignore that and the utterly false, pseudo-scientific garbage used in support really is living in denial. To go the other way and say the characteristics exist for a specific case/characteristic requires hard evidence that stands up to vigorous verification, for mine. I don't see that. I see pseudo-scientific garbage. Does that make me from Mars or Venus?
The original article in Variety[0] there’s a quote that specifically states “complying with our banks’ and payout vendors’ policies.” as the reason for the change. This seems to allude that the direct payments to the sex workers themselves are what were at-odds with those policies.

Plua revisited: Lua 5.0.3 for classic Palm OS
I have tried to verify every single time in the past when people on HN have pointed at a reddit alternative or subreddit with claims of extremist content, and every single time I have found nothing. When I point this out I have gotten replies (and downvotes) that the content is actually there but hidden in dead comments, which then archive.org do not display. It always leaves me without any way to verify the claim.

This time the site above did actually have some content that match the description. Looking at the top 10 on the front page, 8 is anti-vaccination discussions and 2 is anti-jew. That is significant more than any of the other sites I have looked at, and for once I can verify what the person claim to be true.

(As usual people demonstrate how appreciated independent verification is).

Congress created the private contactor known as Federal Reserve with mandate for employment and stable prices. 2% inflation, which violates the mandate and Congress does not care, compounded every year is why purchasing power since 1913 is aiming for the dirt.

Thanks for clarifying, although I disagree that a collapse of family run farms (while bad) is worse than scarcity of food, both at the personal and national security level.

Big news in New England. Local character resembling Santa Claus squatting on some rural land in New Hampshire for close to two decades. Out-of-state owner who inherited the land in the 1960s wasn't even was aware Dave was there. Estranged from family but friendly to local paddlers on the river, some who became his champions in the dispute.

Town officials said the structure he built was illegal, and told the landowner it had to be removed. River Dave said it was a hunting cabin and not subject to the same rules. Authorities cited him and he was summoned to court. He cursed all of the authorities who he said were persecuting him including the judge IIRC. He was unable or unwilling to move elsewhere.

The day the story broke in the Boston Globe (and from there to national media), the place burnt down.
Different topic, but okay. It's easy to multiply your pennies when you've only got two.

BTW, the first computer I personally owned was an 8086, so I was there, Gandalf. It's what I first learned to really program on. The timeframe you're talking about, the progression of tech through the nineties, I'm intimately familiar with.
Yeah, whatever helps breaking those monopolistic stores.
> My email provider doesn't get involved in what I am emailing (even though they might be "facilitating" a crime or other unsavory),

I guarantee you they do. This is right from SendGrid:

__Twilio SendGrid Email prohibits sending of any content that is illegal or content that is harmful, unwanted, inappropriate, objectionable, confirmed to be criminal misinformation, or otherwise poses a threat to the public, even if the content is permissible by law. This content is not allowed, regardless of user consent.__

They then have a huge list of prohibited topics. Pornography, misinformation, hate speech, etc.

I recommend you check your provider TOS.

> the car dealership doesn't get involved in what I am going to use the car for

Car dealerships are free to refuse you service for any reason, other than being a protected class. I guarantee there is a long list of activities you could tell a dealership you'd do, and they'd refuse you service.

> I mean by your logic a grocery store could ask what business you are in, and not sell you food because that is facilitating what you are doing.

Yes, this is literally the case, lol. Not just by logic, but by actual reality. A grocery store can refuse you service for any reason other than discrimination of a protected class.

You need to update yourself with the laws in this country.

> But to suggest that it somehow reflects badly on the credit card company that they are used on a porn site is ridiculous.

They are free to do business with anyone they see fit. Pornography comes with the significant risk of actual harm to people. Therefore, they don't want to be involved.

If you don't like it, maybe capitalism isn't for you.

Why would it be desirable to train a model from a CSV on the command line? Is opening RStudio or IPython and running a couple commands the hard part of data science?

Writing a data science pipeline with command line tools really just means writing a data science pipeline in your terminal's shell programming language. If that sounds like a good idea to you, I'd be curious to hear why.
> the college wage premium is fatter than ever,

The more accessible (and popular) college is, the bigger signal it is that someone didn't go. That premium could just as well be the result of the (relative) wage floor falling out for non-grads.

Tough luck that until some months ago, USA was a net energy exporter. Definitely do not want to ask why energy exports flipped to energy imports. Recall that a few days ago Joe asked Saudis to help out by pumping more oil.
Its a shame, Tokyo of the 90s and 2000s felt like stepping into a new cyberpunk world with arcades, advanced cellphones, net cafes and karaoke booths, wild fashion music and subcultures etc. When Thomas Freidman came out with the World is Flat around then I thought it was kind of ridiculous, and it hasn’t played out in work but the world of consumer culture sadly is becoming much flatter. No market can resist the iPhone and Netflix forever.
yeah, i got it. and the point i’m making is i’m not getting outraged over it because it is a charitable contribution and he has an incentive to report it. does it feel a little gross and is this whole thing probably a PR stunt? sure. but i’ll settle for letting billionaires be charitable for the wrong reasons if it means they’re being charitable. i trust people to see this for what it is. i’m not sure why anybody feels obligated to leap into threads like this and strain to reframe neutral-to-positive events as profoundly negative. you don’t need to save us from possibly thinking a brief positive thought about a thing a billionaire did. we’re fine.
Good follow up article would be an intro to shaders, where you take the work from pixel looping and move it to shaders.

Heck, how is it relevant to anything given that hash functions avoid collisions in practice, even given the pigeonhole principle?

1970 or so it broke through, for reference.

> do you think we've all gotten that much smarter?

Yes but not in the way you imply. Having access to enough accurate information and being able to spend time efficiently to accumulate it, has catapulted large swathes of people into investing in a college education. These people who would have been stunted along the opportunity, genetic, and economic axes in the past. This is despite the horrendous increases, in costing, over the last 30 years (imo).

Good. A further thought is that if you allow time series models, you could allow the user to specify a time column in addition to the column of the response variable. Then you can fit seasonal time series models to the data.

Thats pretty neat! Even Stripe Radar? My understanding was that used their client side fingerprinting when the card is inputted, but its been a little bit.
Thanks! At the moment, we do not have any ability to convert to/from scikit, but this is definitely something we would like to consider in the future.

My iCloud is not accessible to all my friends, family, work associates, and the public. Facebook/Twitter/insta is. (Depending on your privacy settings)

Scanning publicly accessible material makes a lot of sense and is within the boundaries of section 230, tech companies are responsible for policing removing illegal or threatening material. For private or encrypted information, section 230 does not apply.

The purposes these services were designed for matters. iCloud is meant to be private, facebook would prefer everything you post is public as it’s built in to benefit their business model. Facebook should scan, iCloud shouldn’t. You are purposely obfuscating that detail.
I had shared this update here a few months ago, and received great feedback. Since then we had some positive news: the BBC reviewed our earrings online. The requests for our earrings are pouring in. We launched on TikTok last month, and hit 10K followers in under 3 weeks. Organically. We know we have a product that customers are eager to get.

And yet... we have discovered that it's true what they say: hardware is hard. More than that: it's expensive.
