The OP itself documents:

> Nevertheless, according to Wang,[WA74-96] it was Turing's work (1936) that convinced Gödel of the universality of both his own approach (1931-34) and Church's (1935).

Unless "according to Wang" is meant as "I don't know if I believe it", then apparently it's documented that Godel himself thought Turing's contribution was major and shed important light on the mathematical implications of godel's own work.

There's never any one person that invents anything, it's always built on work that came before.

Reading the OP, I got increasingly bored and tired... ok, what's your point? Yes, clearly Godel and Church especially did foundational work without which Turing's work would not be possible -- and I don't think anyone denies it, anyone with any kind of computer science education is surely familiar with Godel and Church. It's not like they are languishing in obscurity, they are both very well known and respected! Godel especially is widely considered a real giant in his fields. I am as confident that neither Godel nor Church is going to be forgotten for many generations.

But Turing made important contributions that took important steps necessary for the development of CS as a field. It's not a mystery or undeserved why Turing's name ends up remembered.

The OP's point is just that any singular "inventor" is always building on work of may who have come before? OK, sure. Boring. So we should never promote anyone as making important foundational contributions? Well, people aren't gonna stop. Boring.
The idea we should share our salary information presumes that work and value are fungible, a premise which is absurd.

Why not just run a website where people can report their company, role, and salaries? (e.g. glassdoor) And if you can't solve that effectively, I guarantee regulating it into existence isn't going to be any better or have fewer perverse incentives.
Cryptocurrency uses the blockchain as a fundamental building block. For good faith proponents of cryptocurrencies, the appeal is that they provide the potential to do low friction digital payments (e.g. "micropayments"), reduce the barrier to entry to participate in financial transactions and allow for a single, global unifying currency.

You may disagree that Bitcoin, or any other cryptocurrency, has the potential to do this or whether it can actually do this, but that's the appeal.

Proof of Work (PoW) is probably necessary for a decentralized currency [0]. Proof of Stake (PoS) can be a valid cryptocurrency but fails in it's centralization criteria [1].

The Lightning network provides a layer-2 solution to payments, increasing transaction throughput and, thus, reducing PoW energy usage [2]. This might get into centralization territory but maybe this is a happy compromise between energy usage, throughput and centralization. In some sense, we have many "layer-2" like structures on the internet, with DNS caching, replication and load balancing etc.

> Most importantly, non regulation doesn't always mean good. Otherwise why we need law and government? Why not live in the wild west and let strong people kill weak people? Why not let big company play the monopoly?

As a counterpoint, regulation isn't always a good thing when it's been captured by hedge funds, oil companies, pharmaceutical companies or other special interests.

I'm having a hard time understanding if the line "Why not let big company play the monopoly?" was meant to be rhetorical in the affirmative or the negative. Are you suggesting that company monopolies are a good thing? Or are you suggesting that a decentralized currency unseating what is essentially the current banking monopoly is a bad thing?

I wonder why HN folk are so bitter about Apple. Did you guys send your resume and they never got back to you or what's the reason? It seems just odd to me to hate on something to this level.
You could go the other way as well, without knowing the limits to your future compensation, you were still hanging on to your position. You had expectations of a bigger pay day but it sounds like that was not formally offered to you.

When you knew your true pay and future pay you were able to move up to a better compensated position. To me that sounds like things working correctly. Companies will suffer when employees look around and see what their neighbors at other businesses are making and what they could be making elsewhere. But employees will benefit.

In many Asian cultures everyone knows what everyone else makes. In many cases it shakes out that the most deserving end up being the highest paid. Companies can’t benefit from employees keeping their pay from one another. There’s probably a game theory explanation as to how western and eastern cultures could both land on these two different states.

Attitude is everything. Most people "lose their shit" in interviews and interview at a level less than their real level is. That's true if it is behavioral interview, technical, whatever. I have recovered from interviews where I made gaffes because I won the mental game (e.g. I couldn't answer "What is regularization?" but when they told me what it was I could show I knew "50 ways" to do it)

I never saw a question in a data science interview that couldn't be answered with: (1) "look it up in the hashtable" or (2) "look it up in the literature"

That whole debacle was an interesting, if illegal, counter-attack against Amazon: https://www.newyorker.com/business/currency/apple-claiming-v...

The meat of it:
"As Apple prepared to launch the iPad, it offered a deal to the six biggest publishers in the U.S. The publishers could set the retail prices of e-books sold by Apple, up to a cap of $14.99, and they would get seventy per cent of the sale price. But if any other retailer was selling a given e-book at a lower price than the one a publisher had set, Apple could match it."

Contrast that with Amazon which could set the retail price freely "often at or even below the original wholesale price. Amazon didn’t mind losing money on each sale, as long as the strategy helped sell Kindles and expand the e-book market."
Facebook was a really unhealthy place for me. In part because of my own insecurities.

I gave it up a year or so ago. Lots of pictures from the last ten years of my life were lost. Which is fine. The last decade has been a huge shitstorm for me.

Facebook did leverage my attention seeking and my unhealthy need to be seen as right and smart.

I don’t miss it. I think their platform does a lot of damage in the world. Yet I’m sure that many people get value from it as well.
> This is the end of the Roberts Court, we’re told, as the Chief Justice’s cautious approach to judging gives way to a more robustly conservative activism.

I'm a liberal, but why is this characterized "conservative activism"? It seems like "not weighing in on a case" is a very cautious judicial approach. Was it "liberal activism" when, for example, the Iowa Supreme Court legalized gay marriage in ~2009? After all, they actively took the case on.
How much of this is just more handouts to Industry? Separating the tax payer from their hard earned money. You think they could come up with a better plan to help Joe6Pack but that would reward their rich friends. Americans can't read beyond the headline to realize they are being fleeced. Why can't we demand a better approach with money going directly to the the citizen to upgrade their home insulation, windows, install solar panels, etc. Solar Panels should be heavily subsidized along with battery storage for the homes and businesses. We shouldn't have to pay 25k to have a decent installation. More Government waste and handouts while the environment goes down the shitter.
Sure, but that doesn't change the point of my comment which is that the income tax rates in some US states will actually exceed Australia's in higher earners.
It's an illusion because it is based on the presence of infrastructure, other people and their work. If those people weren't there your house wouldn't be worth as much. You can build the same house in the middle of nowhere and it would be worthless.

Yes. There are likely a ton of people you've never heard of who received a fairly modest inheritance, won the startup lottery, or was just successful at the right Big Tech, finance, or law firm who decided to ride off into the sunset in their 40s. I know some of them. Some are quite well off. Others are just willing to live modestly, perhaps off some sort of early retirement pension.

IMHO salaries should be tied to units produced or customers served. I one time earn 35 euro per day making half a million boxes of cookies with 5 other people. The desire to push wages down that far has nothing to do with the price of the product. It makes things more fragile and more expensive if uninterested unskilled people do the work. If something went wrong the employees just laughed. No one rushed over to help.
Today I spent maybe more than an hour tracing a bug that a screen I created turned inaccessible after a merge, tests died suddenly.

> both - if the information was non-public (which it was) then it can’t be legally traded on

That’s not how insider trading law works in the US. In fact, almost no country works this way, with a few exceptions like France. Insider trading laws in the US are mostly specified in terms of fiduciary obligations.

I suggest subscribing to Matt Levine’s excellent Money Stuff column. He covers this stuff constantly, including lots of court cases straddling the border of what defines insider trading.

> Not sure I follow why you had to turn to docker

I didn't, and OP could have stuck with Java8 since it's LTS. So I'm not sure either where Docker comes into play. It seems the parent was deploying fat jars, and now due to the complications of all the various deps, they opted to use Docker images as a new "fat jar". Perhaps it simplified their build process, but that's just a guess.

> The JVM is deterministic - I don't follow this statement?

Custom classloading simply requires a string path and FQN of the class to attempt to load it from disk. Compile time checking doesn't validate the actual existence of the class, which is the point of runtime custom class loaders.

A lot of plugin loaders are done this way, etc. So... your program might be humming along just fine until it classloads in a plugin (or whatever) that depends on Jaxb for example, then everything explodes since Jaxb is now a dep instead of built into the jdk.

Apple operates within a country ("platform") and most follow the laws of the country ("platform rules"). Country laws are protecting consumers. So Apple can't do with their platform whatever they want... They could do so on a ship in the middle of the ocean - where no country laws apply - but then they wouldn't have so many customers there...

Honestly I was personally shocked they got the first bipartisan cars & bridges bill through with Republican votes.

That was a big one for bipartisanship, been like 20 years of presidents talked about it. Infrastructure week is here!!!

But beyond that I don't know.

McConnell explicitly said he will not allow Republican votes on the debt ceiling if Dems push for this bill.

That is INSANE imho. Even that thread is damaging.

I don't know if there is a solution given the huge differences that are growing.

From my perspective there is a not only a refusal to negotiate in good faith on the right but active attacks on Democracy. It's hard when a 30% of their constituents live in an alternate reality compared to the other 50+%. Politicians are attacking democracy and pushing dangerous racist/gender attacking social policy in their attempts to replace Trump (see DeSantis and Abbott).

A consequence of two party primary politics and the make up of the Senate. Leaders (on both sides) appease the small % that vote in a primary.

I view myself as a center left progressive (very left on climate, right on foreign policy like China) and the behavior of Republicans just seems completely incompatible with bipartisan governance or the absolute dire needs we have to at least try to address.

even on social issues, check out comments from last thread I can't believe we're still arguing over some of the beliefs that white men on this board still hold. And it seems the others feel so attacked and fragile that they lash out.

They feel the same about me/us.

I guess one way to view bipartisanship is when Rs get control back they will repeal the tax increases, while the popular expansion of child tax credits, medicare stay in place. Which just make it even more unaffordable. A kind of 'balance' but a dangerous one.
> > Think about it: Every business, from tiny boutiques to online giants like Amazon, tell you exactly how much each of their items costs. Why shouldn't it be the same when we're shopping for a job?

I think even the rhetorical question is flawed. Retailers will always display prices, but almost never give you enough information to calculate the actual cost of owning the asset (ie, depreciation).

Will the product break after 2 years of typical use or 20? Can it be serviced? How much does the service cost? How much will the service extend the life of the product by? What is the resale value of the product? How often do I need to replace consumables? What is the running cost of the product (to be fair, large appliances do display this and cars will advertise mileage data)?

If anything, being transparent in terms of purchase price but failing to provide a whole picture of the economics of owning a product has lead to a reduction in the durability of consumer goods. I know my business (online video games store) has started selling lower quality products in response to consumer demand.

Reddit has an analogous problem where the first person to make an widely accessible quip gets voted straight to the top, with generally a trainwreck of low effort chuckles and puns hanging off of that. If you want lots of reddit comment karma you can easily just read some popular subreddit by 'new' and make those kinds of low effort / accessible comments.
