I don’t agree with this logic - I run a bootstrapped startup with 7 figure revenue and > 50% margin - we’re growing ~12% monthly - I have no intention of raising capital, but no way would it be appropriate for me to give away a few percent to a new employee just because i haven’t raised any money from investors

Google Scholar is a better method to find published papers.

The first result for "program language comparison", at least when I view https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=programming+language+co... is: Prechelt, Lutz. "An empirical comparison of seven programming languages." Computer 33.10 (2000): 23-29.

There's all sorts of work which cite that paper, like "An empirical investigation of the effects of type systems and code completion on api usability using typescript and javascript in ms visual studio".

For fun, here are some of those citation which themselves use the phrase "An empirical study" or similar in the title:

"An empirical study on the impact of static typing on software maintainability"

"An empirical study of the influence of static type systems on the usability of undocumented software"

"Do developers benefit from generic types? An empirical comparison of generic and raw types in Java"

"An empirical study on C++ concurrency constructs"

"An empirical study on the factors affecting software development productivity"

Gino Bartali, mentioned in the article, has the most amazing back story.

He used his bike training to smuggle secret documents for the Italian Resistance and was awarded Righteous Among the Nations for helping Jews escape the Nazis.

Like many he stayed quite about his wartime exploits and was only recognised for them after his death.

A quite remarkable man.

It's not simple, it's a calculation to do but at the end of the day the calculation gives you a number of years you need to live in your house to make buying worthwhile.

If you sell your house 2 years after buying it, unless the prices really skyrocketted during that time you should have rented instead.

If you stay 30 years in your house however it's financially much better to buy rather than renting.

Of course there are non-financial aspects (freedom of modification for homeowner, easier to move out for renters) but the financial equation boils down to how long you stay in the same house. Exactly where is the cut-off depends where and when you live.

> that counts as outcompeting

Consider Neanderthals had more sparse populations due to being adapted to colder climates.

In periods over the millenia, mixed groups could have lived without being aware of being mixed at all. Groups with 50% heritage or more could have been small compared to the growth of modern human populations elsewhere, which would eventually blend.

Over 100 generations, this 2% heritage could be accounted for by a growth-rate difference of only around 5% vs 9-10%, which is just above replacement level and this difference wouldn't have been noticeable to each generation.

If one population had growth spurts and doubled over a generation, then much faster.
There are many paths into depression, and many paths out of it. But as someone that once fell into a decade+ of depression and could not get out, I think that one key is to try to get back on top of it quickly.

It's a bit like getting further and further out of shape that way, because of the changes of thought patterns and self-image and socialization patterns etc - the further you go the more the very things you need to get out are being undercut.

(And yet, just like that example, you can always start where you are at, and sometimes even a bit of change can be more dramatic and exhilarating than you think it would be - perhaps walking up the stairs without getting winded feels like a huge victory, if you aren't focused on how long it will be until you run that marathon)

In my own experience, and in working with people with severe depression, I have found two things to be almost universal. One is that the pathway out involves better noticing of small shifts in consciousness in the present moment - depression is a flatland, yet even within it there are small tiny windows of light that can be noticed and built on.

The other is that, and this especially applies to people that live inside their head, are very smart, very analytical, etc...the body itself provides a pathway out. Without even getting into somatic psychology, the act of doing things where one is experiencing felt sensation in the body provides a ground for consciousness outside of the grey hazy thought world.

Yes, they're different things. However you need a place to live so unless you already own a paid off house, you can choose between paying a rent or paying a mortgage.

I fully agree with you on the theoretical reasons why SMS-based MFA is bad and should stop being used at some point.

I am saying that the system should fail in terms of SLA even at 99.

In the link I shared there is a simple worked example of 10.3 capacity/hr for 10 events/hr that piles up 28 events. It also shows the problem can be mitigated by analysing it in queuing/probabilistic terms. In real life it is even more complicated obviously!

Queue theory is a lot of fun. There aren't a lot of variables needed to characterise a queue (rate in, rate out, variance of both the rates encoded into a probability distribution). But there are a lot of observable variables (queue length, wait times, utilisation of the servers, probability of there being a queue when a new customer enters the system, probability of the queue overflowing, etc). That means the system is highly over-determined, you need a very small number of observed variables to be able to calculate everything.

Basically all you are doing when you "study queue theory" is training your brain to go very quickly from looking at some random metric to thinking "oh, this is a queue with X distribution, I need to work out the arrival rate and service rate then I know everything".

My personal reference is "Fundamentals of Queuing Theory" by Gross, Shortle, Thomson & Harris. But to learn, just pick some interesting queues (ie, queues with variance in the rates) and start calculating (if cars arrive at a light with X mean rate, what variance means that there will sometimes be a queue extending around the street? Would adding another server at this shop have a big or small difference on how long it takes to prepare my order? Based on the number of checkouts at this supermarket, what rate are their planners expecting - is this a busy period?).

No individual idea in queue theory is that powerful, the advantage is really that when you see a queue you don't waste hours trying to link variables in O(n^2) ways and instead work with arrival/service rates. And you realise that the system works by phase changes rather than anything else, which is in a sense obvious but not actually very intuitive if you haven't identified the queue.
>you forget the context

Wait, it the opposite. XML is designed to indicate context, and JSON is designed to hide context, you have a bunch of braces in place of context there, no matter where you are it's braces all the way down, like lisp.
It still exists of course. But in that case education is by numbers quite a negative trait for example. Being rich too maybe.

>Come up with your best description of the physical world, and you won't find consciousness anywhere in it unless you mix it in explicitly -- and mixing it in explicitly amounts to a dualism.

>Consciousness, on the other hand, is irreducible -- it cannot be reduced to just lower level descriptions of this sort. If you try, inevitably you'll leave something out.

These are just empty assertions without any proof. To show that there really is a hard problem you can't just say "nobody has given a physical explanation of consciousness at this moment in time", you have to prove that such a thing would be impossible, even just in theory/principle, or sometime in the future when we have better science and tech.

As a counterpoint, I would like to offer the following: our thoughts, while we are thinking about consciousness and puzzling over it and writing posts on HN about it, are manifested in the physical world as neuron firings and chemicals in the brain. A sufficient explanation of the physical world would include an explanation of how and why these thoughts emerged (through a chain of previous thoughts), and this explanation, I think, has a good chance of showing that the hard problem is just a collection of easy problems after all.
There are many middle ways possible, but generally these problems arise because a small, connected group gains significantly and now, while everyone else suffers in minor or delayed ways.

Those systems then keep to one extreme until things break, and as you say, blood on the streets.

But it's worth bearing in mind that there are solutions that'll work for everyone, just that history shows you don't (usually) get to have nice things until things have gone catastrophically wrong and the old system been swept away.

> But nowadays it’s not existing algorithms but rather data driving the decisions.

There are different flavours of Machine Learning algorithms. You are referring to one of those where the learned representations are created from raw data. There are other flavours where algorithm designers manually input the important aspects of the representation. For example, a popular credit scoring agency where I live - uses the postcode as an input. The postcode in some cities is directly correlated to race and ethnicity.

The broader point is that there exists various aspects that drive bias and that goes beyond data.

Rent prices in cities where building small apartments is legal indicate that a large number of people want to live in small apartments if it is in a desirable location. For example I share 55m^2 with my wife and we like it. Commutes are short, super markets, cinemas, etc are close by. We don't have a car.
On the flip side, though, we've already seen what limited new housing does: much, much higher prices, and people getting priced out of their homes. More housing might not solve everything, but less housing is what's causing these problems.

People won't stop wanting to move here just because housing growth is slow. While the prices are very high right now, there are still enough people who want to move in who can at least vaguely tolerate those prices. That doesn't mean the system is working, though. That just reminds me of the old stock market adage, "the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent".
It is kinda wrong to see your primary residence as an investment. You can't sell it unless you find a different place to live.

I'm curious how they are doing so.
Those "slow to ramp" plants are necessary to provide the base load. The cause of the overload is the volatility of renewables. Whether it would be cheaper to curtail renewables and who exactly gets to foot the bill - I don't know. Doesn't seem reasonable to me that, say, France should pay Germany because their very stable nuclear plants can't accommodate for the volatility of renewables elsewhere. Either way, the cost is negative, or at least zero if you turn it off. It's worthless energy, going to waste.

That's not entirely accurate. DN3D required a large room behind the mirror (I'm saying this from the perspective of editing levels), but that room was completely invisible and did not have to look like the mirrored room at all. The mirror actually "mirrored" the scene. IIRC, if you disable collisions then you could walk through the mirror into that big room, which looked quite boring.

I always assumed that the "big room" was to avoid the culling algorithms / potentially-visible-set tripping over the mirror.

Like most articles about "consciousness", they're going to have to define consciousness more precisely.

> Neuroscientists and philosophers of consciousness have recently coined a new term – the global state of consciousness – to describe the structural properties of experience that varies between ordinary wakefulness, dreaming, the psychedelic state and the minimally conscious state. These states are called ‘global’ because the whole of conscious experience is altered, not just a particular element.

Well, which is it; consciousness that's altered, or conscious experience? It would seem that a change in conscious experience doesn't necessarily make any difference to consciousness itself - i.e. consciousness isn't altered by the experiences and sensations it's observing and conscious of, it's a buffer in which sensations are known and experienced.

As someone who previously wrestled with depression, dabbled in psychedelics, and has a long-term insight meditation practice, it doesn't matter whether I was severely depressed or tripping balls, my consciousness of those experiences remained the same. That's actually one of the insights that psychedelics quickly revealed. Experience comes and goes, and consciousness itself doesn't seem to be coloured by it.

If the headline said that "depression is a change in mental states and perceptions", well that's obvious, we've known that for probably centuries. Throw the "consciousness" buzzword in and ooh, it's exciting now! But kind of meaningless imo. I don't really see how the article differentiates between "consciousness" and "mental states and perceptions".
Bitcoin is dead
I came here to talk or respond to folks against seeing homes as investments. Full disclosure I own a rental and over time as my finances allow it I hope to have a few if not 10 by the time I retire such that I can sell most if not all and have something to retire on. (Not all of my retirement is in this scheme, I've a 401k and a modest IRA).

The rental I have was once our main home. When we moved to Berlin we decided to hold on to it and rent it while we were gone in case we needed a place to come back to if our Berlin experiment failed. We bought it with all the savings we had at the time we got married with a <5% downpayment. I had no idea the market would rise like it did. We are still renting it mostly because the rental laws in Portland, Oregon are very much tenant-biased that it would cost us more to sell than to keep renting it. Which is fine. We've a good tenant and we haven't raised rents in 3-years. (We should have but that was mostly because I had bad advice from my management but that's a whole other thread).

For the average worker making less than 100k like me without prospects to make multiples of that number anytime soon (or ever -- I'm not that smart) buying a home -- if one is lucky enough to -- and maybe renting it is a good way to participate in the upside of home values and also to create some long term wealth when one does not have the luxury of joining an early stage start-up on it's path to being the next unicorn or making obscene salaries at a Netflix.

I fully understand that in doing so I add myself to the market of potential buyers and/or bidders for already scarce homes and with a business mindset I participate in the speculation that is raising home prices for would-be owner-occupied homes. I don't know how to balance that with my desire to have a well balanced approach to my finances which would consist of investments in stocks (401k via mutual funds), savings, and real-estate. The world is only getting more expensive and it behooves the rational person to diversify and seek all ways to keep up so as to not be left behind or without ample funds to retire on.

So you might see me as part of the problem but at least maybe now you see where I am coming from.
>Backup Cameras (this alone adds upwards of 1500 dollars to an economy car because of the systemic upgrades that need to be done to the infotainment system)

I'm sorry, but what?! A backup camera kit is $50 on Amazon[1].

Just because someone can charge you 30x that amount, doesn't mean it costs that amount, nor that it would contribute this much to the cost of the car.

>There is no reason the Chevy Spark should cost 13,000 dollars for what it is.

What's wrong with the Spark?

It competes with Honda Fit, which is better, but also pricier. And it's absolutely worth it.

I think that a new car being 13 laptops worth is pretty damn reasonable.
