> I've never seen a case where the actor model actually helped with the business problem.

I've inherited and built some actor based applications and libraries, both in Erlang and .NET (via Akka.NET). Usually these systems are:

- heavily Domain/event driven

- have 'funnel points' (example; bids on specific cars)

- have strong (but not extreme) requirements around consistent, fast response.

- be reasonably maintainable without a whole lot of gotchas

In all cases the actor model was the easiest way to solve the problems presented. That last point may be a bit contentious, but what every shop I've been at has found that while sometimes domain evolution results in extra boilerplate code to handle different versions of events, it is usually not the same sort of nightmare to do larger redesigns of the system as it ages and needs evolve.

> Every time I saw Akka used, replacing it with straightforward Futures-and-for/yield code was an improvement.

I'll admit I've over-used Akka.NET from time to time. I'd say the most overkill case is 'I need background workers running on timers with automatic recovery.'

There's little things that are built to last scattered all over my home and office. A chunk are inherited from previous generations others are unsuspecting items I bought that just keep chugging (I'm looking at you $9 toaster from Walmart). I have a few things that I've bought that I really hope they are built to last -- part of my motivation to purchase was this quality.

Of course building things to last isn't obsolete. Most things we buy are for a purpose. Typically that purpose results in them being "used up". Socks get holes, mechanisms wear -- all of that is normal and expected. Periodically through either some extra care or happenstance the item doesn't get used up in an expected period of time. It seems it was BUILT TO LAST, over time our kids and dependents will marvel at the way things used to be built. Some day in 40 years someone will look at your Aeropress and bemoan, is "built to last" obsolete?
Sending a single request to a website is not illegal. Hammering a website with thousands of requests per second with the intent of taking it down or making it inaccessible is. I agree it's not cut and dry but intent matters to some extent.
You forgot the salaries of the network technicians you wouldn't have otherwise. You now have to manage attacks on your infrastructure yourself. You left out bandwidth costs as well. Your servers will need to be replaced entirely every 5 years, and partially as hardware fails.

It sounds like you're at sufficient scale that it makes sense. For most people, it doesn't make sense.
Propaganda isn't trying to subvert the truth, whether quoted or unquoted. Propaganda is trying to promote a particular position. Nobody has as a goal to subvert the truth, that's just a caricature of one's enemies.

What we do is public relations, what they do is propaganda.

It's just a rationalization to disregard the standards that one would normally use to judge information i.e. its accuracy.

They do seem similar in that they attempt to address shortcomings in utilitarianism but Rawls seem to reject the utilitarian framework in favor of justice whereas this is more of a tweak.

One of my first jobs was converting this crazy web-first language (HTML/OS) into PHP and/or ASP.NET. The language was like BASIC for the web, and there was so much superstition based on how things actually worked (things like having an empty ELSE on an IF statement because one time something broke and that might be why). I also drastically reduced memory and CPU usage, even taking some multi-hour jobs down to seconds. Luckily this was around 2007 and I have since intentionally forgotten most of that language.

I have also found that the simple propaganda tactic of telling the same thing several times, almost literally word-for-word the same, works. People will start to show understanding. It's almost miraculous, going from blank stares to collaboration in three repetitions of the simplest problem explanation.
Even the possession of the hollowpoints would be a felony.
The implications of defining an action as "happening on US soil" whenever it had an effect that involved mere data that was situated on US soil also seem troubling, and it's easy to imagine only slightly less clear cause-and-effect relationships from actions to data that would, under this interpretation, suggest extradition to a hostile jurisdiction.

For example, Germany is well known to strictly prohibit and penalise the public display of Nazi symbols. Suppose some US citizen posted unicode swastikas in a game chat (while living in the UK), as kids seem to like to do, and this chat log got replicated on a German server, putting it in violation of German law, and now Germany wanted to throw the book at them (3 years of jail or so). Should the UK extradite this person to Germany? Would it have any bearing on this whether the kid did this with the intention of trolling Germans in game (and perhaps the awareness that it is not legal for them to display the symbol)?

For an even juicier version of this scenario, imagine that we are instead considering the case of an American journalist who tweeted some of the edgier activist-journalist rhetoric (of the "kill all $privileged_group" type) to weigh in on some German domestic dispute. This just so happened to fall afoul of Germany's domestic laws on inciting racial hatred, and the message got replicated on whatever servers Twitter's CDN has there. The intent (to reach Germans) would be there, and a crime (having a public-facing computer server display an incitement to racial hatred) would have happened on German soil. How would you feel about the US journalist being extradited from the UK to Germany to face jail time?

Ah, yes. The utilitarian angle is important, Rawls is more of a deontologist.
Self-driving cars are a bad example for your argument because self-driving cars really are very restricted in their regions of operation. Yes, self-driving cars can work in Arizona where everything is flat, dry, and unobscured. But they just don't work in most parts of the country for half the year because of snow covering markings, emergent lane flocking that has nothing to do with actual lanes, and other winter driving fun. Autonomous cars won't work in these vast regions of the world until they can do the wrong thing the same way humans do.

The hype surrounding them is, and always has been, hype. No substance.
Also they could just pull the listing then go to some temp agencies (for example manpower, randstad) and say 'i would like to hire 10 people that have these qualifications'. I know a couple of people who do not even look at company websites and deal only with companies like this for these kind of jobs. They are perfectly fine being forever temp.
Anti-union laws would be, but firing everyone isn't tantamount to that. Future applicants still have the ability to organize.

This is correct.

If you have an application (lets say offlineimap, which is one I use), then you have two options:

1.) Install via a package manager (if they have it)
2.) Install via pip (or whatever)

But #2 is a step backwards. Imagine having to learn the ecosystem and tools for every programming language just to get common apps running. And then being responsible for updating all the virtual environments, etc.

Package managers are a very useful abstraction for end users who don't always care and just want shit to work. But fragmentation is increasing, and each language is going the blackjack and hookers route (Futurama reference).

I don't see an easy solution, unfortunately.

> Some downsides, the "metahuman" face modeling isn't great, it seems very uncanny valley compared to titles like The Last of Us II.

I think each character in last of us 2 is a custom scan and artist creation. Metahumans is made from an amalgam of scans and lets you parameterize the face (adjust everything with sliders) so it is a much harder problem.
> If you can't reproduce it, it's not science.

Just a point that not all science can have empirical and reproducible study.
Bubbles don’t have to implode. They can just reach a point where there’s a long consolidation and things are sideways until reality fully rationalizes the bubble and it shrinks.

This happens all the time with stocks. A stock could get very bubbly and reach an insane valuation to the point people think it will pop! But then it never does, instead it just stops rising and the underlying company eventually catches up to the valuation, until people think it’s a good buy again and start pumping the price even higher to the next leg up. Eventually the stock can never truly pop and go back to the pre-bubble levels because in the time that has passed the company actually did become more valuable.
You're right that most monastic orders are either for women or for men exclusively, but there were some monasteries in Britain that were for both genders in one community, and were led by female abesses, which was unusual. I'm not near my home library, so I can't get you a reference, but it definitely existed, but was definitely out of the ordinary.
I was lamenting this the other day, thinking of Smalltalk being able to snapshot the stack and store it in a variable for debugging later. Then it occurred that one should be able to write a Lisp function that creates a data structure containing a snapshot of the whole stack and then inspect that later. So maybe no new Lisp primitives are needed?

This is the crux of the issue. I've said it before in HN, but urban density advocates need to focus more on why denser urban neighborhoods are good, rather than focusing on why car-centric suburbs are bad. New urbanists need the support of suburbanites whether they want to admit it or not, railing against people who like having space and privacy is less effective at winning allies than making a solid economic and social case for denser developments. Oftentimes urbanists actually explicitly say they want to "ban surburbs", which does nothing to help their cause or suggest that they are looking for a compromise that involves both dense developments and less dense developments.
My fundamental problem with email is all the robots.

I need a tool that sorts all my email into two boxes. "Robots" and "Humans".

Further I want repeated notifications about a message if:
- It comes from a human
- It was sent only to me
- I have previously emailed this person

In [current year] my email account is like my post box on my home. I need it because I get important documents sent to me by robots (bills) but it just piles up until I know there is something in there that I need.

If a human were to send me a letter it would easily get lost.

Every email productivity tool targets the market of people who use email a lot. For most of us direct messaging has replaced email. However when an actual human does email us it tends to be very important. Something we don't want to miss. There is no tool I know of to solve this.

They wouldn't grind down the stones to micrometer flatness for construction work, just a mm or so.

The type of buildings where you see extremely precise stonework tend to be cathedrals and palaces, where spending insane amounts of labor is kinda the point. It demonstrates to the masses how grand, rich and powerful the inhabitant of the building is. Spending lots of money on a building is a way of showing off.
You seem to be under the misapprehension that the US and UK are equals, rather than the actual master-poodle relationship. The UK had similar unequal treaties with Imperial China in the 19th Century, and now the boot is on the other foot.

Not to be dumb - but I don't want my car to have cellular connectivity, so this opens up more car purchase options for me once 3G goes dark. Granted, that's a tiny influx of new customers, but still, there's at least 1 new customer as result of their decision to still use 3G.

>These are strikers, not fired employees, and what is happening is a protest

Why is this relevant? Does being labeled as a "striker" give you additional legal rights that you wouldn't otherwise have?

>It's no different than mailing in a bunch of applications, it's just digital instead. They aren't burning down the offices

"not burning down offices" seems like a pretty low bar for acceptable conduct. that doesn't mean their behavior is legal. The obvious analogy would be: would it be legal to spam a pizza restaurant with fake orders? Or spamming a doctor/hospital with fake appointments? Or spamming police departments with fake tips?

I don't think GP is arguing that utility doesn't exist. I believe the GP is arguing that the OP is making arguments as if utility weren't subjective.

If you can attach a number to decisions, you can just do the math. The thing is, attaching a number to make a non meta argument about decision making can be bollocks since the actual utility can be -9999999 for me or 9999999 for you. An utility function is a function of the decision making agent

I thought Japanase steel wasn't all that impressive in absolute terms, rather it was impressive because of the very bad quality ingredients they started with. It also made ownership of a sword (katana) and accompanying paraphernalia only accessible to a small caste of elite warriors. Both the raw materials and the process were hard to come by.

My understanding is that historically the best steels were made in India/Southern-India where wootz steel comes from and that for more than 2000 years the rest of the world was almost bargain tier in comparison. To the degree that samples of wootz steel were brought back to Europe even in the 18th century in an attempt to replicate the process.

I'm only an amateur metalworker though so I hope someone more knowledgeable can correct any errors.

Surprisingly few technical people understand the extent to which the CFAA charges he faces are bullshit.

It all goes back to a jabber log that they got from Manning. The gist of it is as follows:

Manning: <some bytes from a hexdump>

Manning: can you guys crack NTLM?

Assange: we have rainbow tables. I’ll forward it onto someone on our team.

Few days later,

Manning: any update on NTLM?

Assange: no luck so far.

And this is computer conspiracy. No additional access to any machine was had, and there’s no real evidence that any cracking was attempted at all. He merely agreed to take a look and reported no progress on it. It’s been a while since I looked at the details but I seem to recall that the pcap hexdump manning sent wasn’t even the correct bytes to do an attack — it wasn’t even possible.

There are so many explanations for why Assange could have said this while plausibly not attempting to crack the hash. Manning put him in a strange position to become complicit and he had to strike a balance between not saying to his source, “lol that’s illegal no way, you’re on your own dude” while simultaneously saying exactly that.
This is muddying up the issue under discussion. The question is not about whether Ghanaians think of themselves as belonging to a tribe.

The point is that the distinction between terms such as nation, clan, and tribe is arbitrary, in a sense.

We condemn “tribalism” and yet extol nationalism, although they spring from the same attitudes and worldviews.

now you're touching on the limits of knowledge of those making choices and might be tempted to rate them. that's out of scope for the deciders at that level, the parents in that story. ... the point is that they know the situation best. and that utility lets them quantify the subjective to test-run the rationalizations going into their decisions.

e.g. "maximising sum(log(utility))" like the comment on the article said. the only thing strange here is that philosophy deals with qualitative, not just quantitative domains. thus they tell these stories. :)

Also, I'm not sure where this "keep friends and family separate from business" idealogy came from, but business is just organizing production. If we're not going to try to hold those keys with our friends and family, then elites will hold them for us.
