That's a great (and long) thread. Reminds me of a pet theory I have: that the post-scarcity utopia of the Federation is based on expansionism, and not sustainable.

They've managed to turn Earth into a paradise and give (mostly) everyone great life quality, but they did this by doubling down on exponential growth, which manifests in the constant need to get more and more planets to join the Federation.

You can see the expansionist vibes all over the show, and they've even been hinted at by various aliens in DS9 (although without any mention of economic implications).
My email address is public (patrick@stripe.com). Lots of other people at Stripe also have public email addresses. (Just to be super clear, it’s a bug that you’d have to do this, and I’m sorry about the trouble! But when mistakes happen we do want to have a way to know so that we can fix things.)

How long do rooftop residential solar panels last?
Yes I am super late but this comment is highly irritating.

Let's say my budget for housing is $1000 per month and I want a 30 year mortgage. That means I will pay $360000 for my house, no matter the interest rate, no matter the price of the house.

If the interest rate is 5% then the bank will take around $170k in interest over the total duration of the loan. There is $190k left over for the house.

When interest is 2.5% then the bank will take around 110k in interest, leaving $250k to buy the home.

Once interest is 0% the bank won't take anything, you get to buy the exact same home for $360k.

The price of your home is completely disconnected from what you pay for it.

If you were to include the price of houses in the CPI then the CPI would no longer measure the consumer price of anything.

Brexit as implemented isn't what most people voted for in 2016 either. Just ask them. Others have. The more common answer is some variation on "I didn't vote for this Brexit". Particularly entertaining are the business owners now going bankrupt who voted for Brexit, now saying "I didn't know this is what Brexit meant when I voted for it".

I'd also argue that the fundamental, defining feature of democracy is that the people most immediately affected by an issue vote on the issue. So it's not democracy when the people most affected are not included in the vote. That's fake democracy, where the foxes vote who to have for dinner and the other animals don't get a say, but it's what we have, so here we are.
> Only allow resident citizens to own the one property they live in, and have the government handle rentals like the old council housing / Folkhemmet homes.

How can you say you "own" something if you're not allowed to sell or rent it to anyone you want?
>How do you focus on living the best life you possibly can while also remaining indifferent to all the things you could have done?

One could start by appreciating what they were did given the chance to do.

After all, they had signed no contract with the universe that they should do all things - or even that they should do anything specific.
"It's not like the working class doesn't have to eat. In fact, they will be hit hardest by increasing food prices."

But they are the ones getting the higher wages, so it doesn't matter.

It's those people not getting wage increases that end up taking the loss - which is the middle class and the public sector.
"We try to make it easy to get in touch with the humans at Stripe"

You used to offer live chat which is no longer the case, correct ? I understand that stripe has exploded as a business but with all the money being invested in Stripe, I would seriously recommend getting live chat back so at least we know we have someone out there looking for us. Perhaps offer this to customers who are diong a min. MRR (could be controversial).

The attraction behind Stripe is the ease of API but at some point, that will become unimportant if support is not good when we are talking about dollars. Just my 2 cents as an overall Happy Stripe customer for almost 7 years.

EDIT: Never mind. I was wrong.
It seems like companies can't seem to get their act together to offer some kind of rapid escalation/remediation service. Maybe it's time for legislation to force their hand. This could potentially cost a business a ton of money (and affect a non-trivial number of employees) in the process.
I find the router firmware space very confusing. I’ve got a Netgear R6400 with TomatoNG. It worked well for a while but lately I seem to be having a lot of trouble with dropped connections and general sluggishness. I haven’t taken the time to try to rule out the router or anything but I did try to look up if there was any newer firmware and TomatoNG seems to be abandoned. From there I couldnt really figure out other things to try.

I agree with GP that "Third pounder" was a terrible name.
Unless you're the US government, then ethnicity refers to whether or not you're Hispanic, and race encompasses all other distinctions.
Rust’s Result-based error handling is fairly similar to checked exceptions—all errors must be handled, whether you do something with them, ignore them or propagate them to the caller—but without the pain of checked exceptions, because the errors are just a normal part of the type system, which makes them much easier to work with in various ways (some of which are seen in the various comments here): the return type Result<T, E> is either a T (labelled “Ok”), or an E (labelled “Err”).

The question mark operator just gives you an easy way of doing perhaps the most common handling of errors, which is propagating it up to the caller to worry about. So somewhere along the way you’re going to need to actually handle it (or explicitly ignore it), though it’s also possible in simple programs to let Rust handle it, by having your main function return a Result (that is, something like `fn main() -> Result<(), Error>`), in which case if it’s an Err it prints the error (roughly `eprintln!("Error: {:?}", err);`) and exits with status code 1.

Quote:

> Furthermore, the blind adherence to the “Amyloid code” [297] has resulted in the overwhelming rationalization of clinical trial failures - the lack of validation of the amyloid hypothesis – as being due to recurring issues in their planning and execution, not that the hypothesis has failed in its validation. This viewpoint, described as “sheer obstinacy in the face of compelling proof ..[of being]… on the wrong track” [285] has also compromised the translational approach to AD therapeutics making the criteria for compound advancement from preclinical research to the clinic exclusively based on either a blind faith in a hypothesis or animal models that have proven irrelevant.

This addresses the special pleading you quoted from people who continue trying to explain away the failures of the amyloid model.

Alitu: the Podcast Maker | REMOTE (EU/UK) or ON-SITE (Edinburgh, Scotland) | Full-time

We're a small, growing team working on a podcast maker app (alitu.com) looking for someone to help us develop the infrastructure and deployment processes we need to hit 10,000+ users and beyond. That means scalability, reliability and efficiency, in equal measure. We need someone with 2+ years of devops experience, plus a touch of back-end. You'll tinker with everything related to our running, deployment and updating processes, and keep Alitu rock-solid and lightning quick as it grows.

My logic is this:

Open source router firmware: a) is derived from well-established Linux/BSD networking stacks, b) has a smaller installed user base, so is a less-attractive target, and correspondingly c) has a lower value of exploit, which is more likely to be CVE'ed for reputation than sold for cash.

An audit would be interesting and welcome, but I have more ambient confidence in open source router firmware than vendor firmware. There's nothing unusual about the hardware in these things that the vendor has special knowledge of.

Also, most alternative firmwares have better performance, a better UI, are more frequently updated if bugs are found, and have more features than most stock firmware.

I've used OpenWRT, DD-WRT, and Tomato on inexpensive consumer routers in the past. Never regretted any of them. I purchase home router hardware specifically by the compatibility lists.
Please forgive me for asking a controversial question (particularly so early in the morning), but if there are all of these biological correlations with race, what does it mean that “race is a social construct”? Is the idea that black people have greater bone mineral density (per TFA) due to social or environmental causes (e.g., diet)? For what it’s worth, I’m a staunch egalitarian and I don’t see that changing either way.

EDIT: Really pleased with the largely constructive conversation in this thread. Was worried that this was going to be coopted as an ideological flame thread. Thanks for the insightful answers and good faith engagement. Keep up the good work!
The "no cloning theorem" refers to replicating the same quantum state.

It does not apply to making a replica of a body that is composed by the same kinds of atoms linked in the same way between themselves, which can be considered as identical with the original for any practical purposes.

In a very rudimentary form, such technology exists today, it is possible to remove one atom at a time from a certain position of a body and identify it with a mass spectrometer and it is possible to grow a structure a few atoms at a time.

It is likely that the precision of such techniques could be improved well enough to be able to replicate some extremely small microscopic objects.

The most difficult limitation to overcome is the speed of the process.

To be able to make some human-sized object atom-by-atom and molecule-by-molecule in a reasonable time would require a many orders-of-magnitude higher speed than possible with the current technologies.

A Yacht is a large pleasure boat. There's no exact definition, but you wouldn't call a 15 ft motor boat a yacht or a 40 ft work boat. Any well maintained 30 ft plus boat that's not used for commercial purposes could reasonably be called a yacht.

Edited to add: The structure in the article is in my opinion, not a boat: Boats have a means of propulsion, (sails, oars, motor) this floating school is a barge.
Since most of us are mere humans don't have the ability to get your attention by a viral post, how should someone get in touch to get this reviewed and rectified if they find themselves in such a position? I mean, OP's post shows that Stripe still decided to close the account even after "further review", so simply contacting support doesn't seem to be enough.

EDIT: I see that while I was typing you replied to a sibling comment. So we should contact you directly? Can I ask why this slipped through further review, it seems like a bug like this shouldn't require contacting a founder directly by email to resolve.
Like 3D printing.
It's not clear from the comment whether you're rebutting the gp or supporting them: when I first read it I assumed you were disagreeing/criticising @ThinkBeat, so just to expand a little on my own interpretation from the article:

- the linked articles is about open source maintainers defining the relevancy and scope of their own projects, and telling critics / commentators (like Jared White in the OP) that their expectations of project maintainers (like Jekyll's) don't apply.

So I think that @gregors here is supporting @ThingBeat by basically saying "Open Source is Not About [Jared]" (i.e. that @ThinkBeat has the freedom to define the scope of their own open source work).

Correct?

I maintain that in 2007 I fell into a parallel & incomprehensible reality when people started valuing slightly bigger video screens over self-expression.

Back in the original universe, everyone is happy with a variety of keyboard sizes on their phones, they are more eloquent online, and so the internet there is much less full of misunderstandings and rage.

I hope the next leap ... will be the leap home :(

I don't know how many people on HN have even been in an A&W since they've been dying for more than a decade and closing franchises, but I have. The store wasn't clean, the food was overly greasy but not in a good way, and they didn't properly season the fries. I'm not really a fan of McDonald's, but one thing I'll give McDonald's is that I've rarely been in a store that's dirty, and the food is the same whether I'm in downtown NYC or in Tulsa, Oklahoma, so I know exactly what I'm going to get, not wondering when the last time was that they changed the fry oil or whether they ran out of salt.

When it comes to fast food, the order of importance is pretty much: 1. Consistent, 2. Fast, 3. Cheap, 4. Quality. A&W tried to compete on quality and failed because the quality wasn't there, first of all, and because they failed to be consistent, fast, and cheap, which are more important. McDonald's is the absolute best at #1. In the US, Wendy's is superior to McDonald's for a nationwide chain in quality, but the consistency is more variable, so McDonald's rules. Burger King is faster and cheaper, but the consistency is variable, so McDonald's rules. McDonald's understands the ordering of priorities here, and so they win, it's that simple.

McDonald's understands that not everyone will like McDonald's but that almost nobody finds it outright objectionable and many people love it. As long as they keep doing the same thing in every single store or franchise across the country, McDonald's is always a safe choice for stopping into the drive-thru due to that consistency.

A&W failed with the third-pounder because they had bad marketing and because they failed to understand the marketplace to achieve product-market fit, not because Americans are too dumb to understand fractions. I'm sure there's /some people/ who don't understand fractions, but the vast majority of people I've met understand fractions and use them in their daily life...

> We actually have an ongoing project to reduce the occurrence of these mistaken rejections by 90% by the end of this year. I think we’ll succeed at it. (They’re already down 50% since earlier this year.)

How can you tell? It seems, naively as an outsider, like the problem is precisely that you can't tell if they should have been rejected, in which case you can't tell how often it happens?

Earlier, your website apparently had the statement:

Rather than regret minimization, I prefer to focus on try maximization. IE try as many new things as you can.

Obviously there are some things that you should never try. Things that you find morally objectionable. Things that have too high a risk of death or permanent disability. Things that will keep you from fulfilling your responsibilities (wife and kids will slow you down). You have to do your own maths on those, but beyond that you should try as many new things as you can manage.

You will fail. You will fail a lot. That's part of the fun.

As a 50 year old man, with four grown kids, in the middle of a divorce after 25 years of marriage, sitting at home with a leg I broke skateboarding last month I can honestly say that I have very few regrets so far. I travelled through a lot of Europe and most of the US before marriage, I've had interesting work, and I've learned how to do a lot of things just by being willing to try.

Remember, failure is always an option and is the expected outcome at least 50% of the time. If you're not failing, then you're probably not trying anything new.
> "Data science is that thing where you do sklearn, Deep Learning and Numpy" is not a working data scientist's perspective.

It could be. It's such a broad job title and it looks so different across different companies and teams that the main tool for one data scientist might be something that another data scientist never has to touch. Different data science jobs prioritise different tools, that's all.
Mouse Utopia
I have had this mental question about 'what time is it when photons collide'. Given that a photon could have been travelling for a million years colliding with one that has only been travelling for a microsecond, and from the photon perspective there is no passage of time and no distance.

I then kept reading things that tell me photons don't interact, which saddened me because I like the question. This now appears to not be the case, is there a specific condition under which photons can interact like this?
I recently ran into this issue as well. Serialization of sklearn random forests results in absolutely massive files. I had to switch to lightgbm, which is 100x faster to load from a save file and about 20x smaller.
But it does mean that AI models trained on data might end up just perpetuating racial correlations even when you don't think it's aware of race. It's another example of why interpretability is important: the model might end up depending on correlations you don't mean it to.
Where have you been for the last 10 years? And it’s not just youth. It’s adults too.
maybe we are casualties of the vague definition of "data science," but in my experience numpy is too low-level for most of what I consider DS, and pandas/matplotlib are _much_ more central than sklearn or pytorch. Even if your definition only encompasses deep learning research, surely plotting is still indispensable?

I'll also add my vote for the superiority of data.table and ggplot2 to any Python alternatives. the bloat and verbosity of pandas is a daily struggle

Just finished reading https://www.amazon.com/This-They-Tell-World-Ends/dp/16355760... which is a great book about the zero-day market and how it evolved over the years.

The basic issue is that every nation is actively buying and using zero-days and doesn't want to stop. And companies like NSO aren't really (so they say at least) hacking anybody. They just develop and license hacking tools to governments to use for "lawful" law enforcement purposes. So nobody wants to ban the zero-day market because every country is a huge buyer of zero-days themselves and it is hard to ban selling zero-days to sovereign governments who are using them in accordance with their own laws (even if the regimes in question are terrible and using them to violate their citizens basic human rights). After all, it would be a bit awkward for the US to demand that the NSO Group stop selling it's hacking tools to Saudi Arabia while we have a multi-billion dollar defense industry selling the Saudis all sorts of advanced weaponry.
I don't think it necessarily signals war. It's just Xi trying to bring the citizens and economy back under his control. In his mind the opening up of China went a little too far.

I'm thinking higher level than that, for practical reasons.

Assembling complex things - particularly biologics - from raw atoms is a painful, slow, and energy-intensive work. The growth rates of various organisms on Earth give you a ballpark of how fast you can get with this. I for one would love replicators to work faster if possible :).

I feel a better idea would be to make universal feedstock (or family of those) out of complex molecules - perhaps proteins, or protein-like nanostrutures. Molecules selected for having energy advantage in bulk reactions and precision nanowork required to assemble the most common things people replicate.
It can be both real physiological differences and a social construct, as "what level of bone density tips you from x to y" becomes a question, as does "is an x person with calcium deficiency actually a y person" sort of things that are obviously not the case.
