>> and establish a new government with literal -not metaphorical, actual- neo-nazis in power.

Typical Russian lie. After the Yanukovich fled, there was a provisional government made up from people who were ALREADY in the Ukrainian parliament, which would serve only as an interim power until the elections, that were planned just in two months. Yet people of Donbass and Crimea never got to participate in said elections, due to annexation of Crimea and seizure of power in Donbass region.
All of that led to war, millions of broken lives, thousands of deaths, just because of some fabricated TV fantasy.
Because there is "Russian" population. You are defending military adventurism which reduced Donetsk, the city of major importance in Ukraine, to some lawless pseudo-soviet parody.

And again, US does not have business of being in Ukraine, neither does Russia.
Do you really think that this stuff in Donbass really helped anyone?
Where do you think it is better to live, in Russian-speaking Ukrainian Kharkov or in 'independent' Donetsk.
JP Morgan is _notorious_ for profiting at the expense of their clients, even to the extent of calling clients names in internal communications when they're selling them "solid investments" that they know are junk. They've been charged with 5 felonies in the last 7 years or so, always with deferred prosecution agreements and multi-year probation, but enforcement is still rather weak, considering the net profit they've been able to achieve from those actions. And I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that is only the tip of the iceberg.

It's a large organization, sure, but at this point one has to ask just how much they "wouldn't encourage it" or how much do they actually institutionally discourage it.
I can recommend all books written by Robert Anton Wilson, especially the Cosmic Trigger series, Quantum Psychology and The New Prometheus.

Another book that's definitely worth a read, or two, is "The Goal", which teaches you how to think goal-oriented while not being a bore to read.

Without the regulation part, the titles makes it seem like an easily dismissible bureaucratic issue.
no, I don't, I think Gary Gensler is uniquely dangerous and that the oversight is inadequate. Its not about JP Morgan. Its about him exercising his craftily accumulated power. Would have totally flown under my radar if it was just the SEC for now, or just the CFTC for now. But the simultaneous thing rings the alarms for me.

Sure - creeps. It distinguishes you from other viewers so is used as another vector to abuse your privacy.
It is cost-cutting that was enabled by technological progress, so all of the above. They've traded repairability for cost, which was a good trade. The time and expertise of the refrigerator repair man are on an inexorable rising trend, just like all other human labor. By making the refrigerator cheap and disposable, they've avoided those costs for the average consumer.

If you want a refrigerator built to last forever, they are on the market. They cost $10k+ and require regular professional maintenance. Restaurants prefer these. You don't need one in your house.
Excellent write up, thank you!

It starts kind of slow, but then somehow morphs into effortlessly explaining advanced topics. I knew bits and pieces of this before, but I found information that was genuinely new to me, like this gem:

”Going back to the original example, that is why the perfectly predicted copy_odds_branches! performs better than code_odds_branchless!. Even though the latter has fewer instructions, it has a memory dependency: The index of dst where the odd number gets stored to depends on the last loop iteration. So fewer instructions can be executed at a time compared to the former function, where the branch predictor predicts several iterations ahead and allow for the parallel computation of multiple iterations.”
It is valuable. There's a lot of Robotic Process Automation, competitive analysis etc...

>the product it's not magic and, after a certain point it does require some manual work from the customer, hence this is an aspect I should prepare for.

Can you make it magic or maybe develop end to end solutions for your first "customers" using your product? That sounds like the schlep you need to do.

Sounds promising! Find yourself a customer or two!

If you really want to go the open source route, just focus on that and then see if people pick it up and use it. Then you'd offer the SaaS.
You might want to look at web scraping for data scientists. I am trying to build a ML Model for NSFW text detection in multiple languages and I am not looking forward to scraping p*rn and youtube websites for comments.

Without getting into the question of whether this study involved human subject research, I find a lot of the anxiety and paranoia unwarranted.

Companies to which these laws apply should already have a process in place to deal with subject access requests. Complying with relevant laws is just part of doing business.

All the other site owners could have figured out with a bit of googling that the laws don't apply to them—there is plenty of guidance available.

I can only speak for the GDPR here, but had the requests been real and valid, the worst outcome would have been a regulator telling you to comply with it. Data protection authorities are more interested in helping companies get into compliance than punishing small businesses for minor infractions. If you look at past decisions, it usually takes serious and/or systematic violations to get fined.
Can you elaborate on how it changed your way?

Would help in understanding context.
Their more recent post titled "Six Reasons Why the Wolfram Language Is (Like) Open Source"[1] is even more cringey.

Is this directed to managers who need to link to a reasoning against other managers making the claim for open-source alternatives?
If so, this assumes those managers aren't that competent, which is insultiong at best.

I think much in the same way that heroin makes the ordinary pleasures life of life seem completely irrelevant by comparison, the supernormal stimulus of the web browser does the same thing for books.

No, it is what Google provides themselves:

But then companies that make their money by upselling to SaaS really don't like it when Amazon comes along, takes the software, and undercuts them in the cloud. The company then scrambles to change their license to disallow that.

Wolfram in that sense is just being honest about their motivations by having it be proprietary from the get-go.
This study finds exactly the opposite.

1. Incerto by Nassim Taleb

This is the first book that gave me a thorough insight into philosophy. Completely changed my worldview. I reread chapters from it everyday. It has become my bible.
The Incerto strictly focuses on the practical applications of stoic philosophy.

2. All books by Dan Brown

The Dan Brown books got me in to reading for fun. While some people may regard his books as thrillers, I consider them hard science fiction. I owe him my reading culture.

4. The singularity is near.
5. The age of spiritual machines.

These books introduced me to computer science.
> Yes they are. Imagine World War II. The best person to dig a particular ditch might be Alan Turing. But that's completely different from the best job for Alan Turing being digging that ditch.

No, Alan Turing would be pretty bad at digging ditches, and there would be many people who could do the job just as well or not better than he.

So in that environment, the code breaker team needs someone, and the ditch digging team needs someone, and if it turns out that Alan is in the ditch and Joe doing an awful job breaking codes, then the code breaking team will try to fire Joe and hire Alan, and the ditch digging team wont mind switching Joe for Alan. Thus this swap is a pareto improving trade, and there are no pareto improving trades in equilibrium, therefore no equilibrium process would settle on Alan in the ditch and Joe breaking codes.

So look, this is an actual body of science and math that you can't just dismiss without understanding and thinking about. There are legitimate criticisms of welfare theorems -- the ones I outlined, namely around lack of perfect information -- does the code breaking team know how good Alan is at breaking codes? Does Alan know there is a job opening other than ditch digging? Etc. It is all about information, but to just pretend that the welfare theorems don't exist because you haven't thought of them or they don't seem intuitively "true" to you is neither a good avenue of exploration nor of debate. These are, after all, theorems. You attack theorems by attacking their hypotheses, not by "disagreeing" with them or just asserting that they are false.

> I think that optimum and equilibrium are different things and a single price cannot be optimum even if it is the equilibrium.

This is, mathematically, false. But it's also irrelevant because there is not one price, there is a single price vector. Alan and Joe don't earn the same wage. The budget of the ditch project and code breaking project are also not the same.
You're assuming that "opt-out" is the right thing here!

It's not. All this stuff should be opt-in: I shouldn't have to tell people to leave me alone.
> Eh that's rather revisionist, C was a high-level language for the 70s.

No, not really. C was always, right from the start, a kin to portable assembly. You'd be hard pressed to come up with a language from the 70s which was at the same level or lower than C. Neigher Fortran nor COBOL nor ALGOL nor Lisp nor BASIC were lower level than C. Precisely which language, other than assembly, leads you to believe that C ever was considered a high-level language?

I don't understand what leads anyone to argue otherwise.
If your potential customers are willing to pay to scrape data, why aren't they will to pay for the data from the source directly? Is it not available or is it considered exclusive or proprietary. I'm thinking about the lawsuits around deep linking and TicketMaster. Web scraping at scale is a never ending arms race because designs evolve or the host is actively trying to thwart you.
Google, a trillion dollar company, is essentially the world's largest web scraper. So...yes! You'll almost certainly find a way to monetize that.

Monopolies, lobbying and protectionism got in the way of keeping the web truly machine readable. There's tremendous value in restoring some of it.
> I often wonder how many people block analytics, since it's the default AFAIK in uBlock Origin. For HN it must be the majority.

I went to visit a friend a few days ago. At some point she wanted to show me something on YouTube on her laptop. While staring surprised at the screen, I asked, "What is this? Is it what you wanted to show me?" She was as surprised as me, "No, of course not, this is just an ad." It felt very strange to me as I haven't seen an ad on YouTube for many years.

So I inquired, "You know adblockers exist, why do you put up with this crap?" She answered, "Yes, sometimes people tell me this, then I install it, and then something breaks, like YouTube layout or the comments don't load etc., so I uninstall it, this happens every few years."

So this gave me some insight why a non-technical person may choose not to use an adblocker. I fixed it for her and I hope she enjoys smooth experience for a few months.
This is incorrect. When you work in a heavily regulated industry such as Finance, everyone knows the basic requirements of official record keeping and process. The industry has a long history of being hit with "slap on the wrist" type fines for things exactly like this ie, using unofficial tools and software to communicate.
1. _The Question Concerning Technology_ by Martin Heidegger. Taught me how clean-room language reinvention can be a tool for clear thinking, and how you cannot add something without taking something away. Truth is "revealing and concealing" because it is, outside math and hard science, perspectival. Essential reading for UX engineers.

2. _Eichmann in Jerusalem_, Hannah Arendt. Made me wiser about how evil works. "Evil" is a fun word to throw around and lends itself to silly political slogans, but the real thing is no joke, is out there, and does not look like what you think.

3. _Eugene Onegin_, by Pushkin, as translated by Douglas Hofstadter (yes, that one). The man taught himself Russian by translating the Onegin to distract himself
after his wife died. The foreword-essay changed how I regard language and translation.

3. _Getting Unstuck_, by Pema Chodron. I still use this shit every time I get obsessive about some coding thing. Wise AF.

4. _Getting Things Done_ by David Allen. Everything is an interface and everything is algorithmic, your only choice is whether or not to consciously intend them. You can engineer better habits.

5. A biography of Malcolm X -- I forget which one, embarrassingly, and I am in a hurry so I will

This is fascinating, but the article is just about how they're going to open this soil sample "soon". When? I'm interested to hear about what they actually learn.
Yeah I do agree. I think some books are just obviously padded out, but others have legitimate repetition of the message, which does have value, eg. your example (great book!)
I wish I could tell you how many times I've seen a machine run out of disk space because logrotate had been failing since the last time someone pushed out a config, or a new log file appeared with a software upgrade. It's gotten to the point where I give /var/log its own disk partition now, and hunt down any logs in /opt and bind mount them into /var/log. Screw the logs, I want my system to keep running.

I am 1000% in favor of apps managing their own logs. Generic system agents can collect and ship arbitrary logs remotely for storage/processing.
I definitely understand the argument that different human languages have different semantic patterns. The only non-English language I know (reading, not speaking) is classical Latin, which likes to have nouns and verbs at the opposite ends of phrases; after reading a lot, it just starts to "feel" right.

account.deposit(Dollar.of(100))

I also know what this means, but somehow it just doesn't "feel" right. Maybe it's because all the other words are in English, so I want 100.dollars to follow English word order? But account.deposit(...) feels much better to me than deposit(into: account, ...), which is the "wrong" word order. I'm perfectly willing to accept that I just have a sense of what "feels" good to me and it's not necessarily logical or reasoned, just a general aesthetic of nouns playing in a world of data.

As an aside, I always find it funny when people use "monkey patching" in an attempt to decry giving language users expressive power. I love monkeys! I love monkey patching!
> You've made the mistake of expressing an unpopular opinion, so you're getting down voted.

It's never worth saying this on HN. "downvoted" has temporal dependence, and so right now, for example, the comment you're replying to is not at net-negative. Just comment on what they said, not on how other HN readers are voting what they said.
You didn’t move the IF. you literally removed it.

If (a)
DoExpensiveStuff());

Becomes

When modifyA()
RecompileIfWithNewAValue();

As long as you call the initial if more often than you modify (a), you’re fine (and the JVM was able to see that you called your if 10k times without modifying the value of (a) even once)
I mean, it's pretty clear they're gonna be able to do this very easily once cf analytics becomes widely adopted.

> social mobility has been negatively affected over the past 50 years.

I'm really not at all confident this is even true, unless you are restricting your sample to white people & men.

Seems like social mobility for women, who comprise half the population, is markedly better than it was 50 years ago.

I don't think it is true that it has been getting "harder" for people to make ends meet for quite some time. Again, in the time period we're comparing to, people were quite literally starving to death/dying from malnutrition at times. Nowadays, people have their ends met well enough that this does not happen in America.

This is in spite of rampant inequality, but still - measurable improvements on pretty much all measures. Really, many of the bigger causes of early death now are due to self-destructive things people can do with more material abundance.
People aren't reporting all the crime because cops take 3-4 hours to show up and even when the cops do show up, they don't even always take a police report. For car breaks they tell you to call 311. If it's an issue with a homeless person (and most are) then they tell you to call the non-emergency line... It's a complete joke.

Last year my wife was pregnant and we had a homeless guy walking around our building with a machete and smoking meth and it still took the cops HOURS to show up and when they did--they just shooed him down the street. Great job! You have to have an actual restraining order for the cops to do anything and that takes time+money.

People just aren't wasting their time reporting crimes that they know the SFPD and city won't do anything about. I know I didn't report the last 3 times my car got broken into. Most people probably report it the first time, see that the SF basically takes no action, then stop reporting further break ins.

That's just lovely. I'm a huge fan of programs exposing deep runtime state via normal (not debug mode only) instrumentation.

Java has historically been amazing in this area, it's great to see other languages stepping up as well.

Sports is now getting into the territory music did in the early 2000's and movies did before streaming hit big -- where it's become significantly easier and convenient to just pirate than to do it legally.

It's much easier to just find pirated live game streams than it is to figure out the cobweb of television rights, which service actually shows local sports, if you're "in" or "out" of market, etc.

I'm sure the economics are still strongly in favor of the TV licensing deals but this has to turn at some point, I'd think, where leagues can go direct-to-consumer across all markets or they just sign deals with streaming companies directly, which Amazon is already doing with the NFL.
There’s a fair number of videos from eg the UK where they do exactly this. The usual playbook seems to be: get a few people distracting the guy from the front, and another few rush them from the back whilst distracted and hit them with batons or just jump on them.

Or just distract them for a long while and wait for more backup and people with shields.

It takes a bit of effort and coordination but is obviously massively preferable to being executed on the spot by the state.

This was one of the issues with ad-blockers. They would start of legit and say that they needed all this access in order to efficiently block everything. Then a few years down the line they would sell out to a company that would use this access to mine information about you and sell it to the highest bidder. They would obviously not go as far as to mine your credit card info, because that would get them banned I’m sure.

So then Apple made a sandboxed ad-block extension point which would take a list of rules and apply them directly.

This wasn’t flexible enough for everyone, so now we are back to square one again.

A straightforward way to do this is for Java to assume built in types like strings are side effect free, but custom types may not be. This would likely cover a good portion of log lines but not all, obviously.

This is the most interesting part:

"We've seen that when an individual is attacked in some way, the likelihood of them attacking someone related to their aggressor is higher," Poindexter told Gizmodo. "Typically there's a preference for attacking a third-party associated with the original aggressor, as opposed to the actual aggressor...for the most part, these acts of 'revenge' take place shortly after the attack."

Poindexter also explained that groups of hyenas have been known to seek revenge on the aggressor's relatives instead of the actual aggressor.
