Great tidbit!

It was not state owned but from my point of view there is a consensus that decisions were made through state channels, namely dealings with Banco Espirito Santo(BES) by the ex-PM.

Those issues are now the subject of a long dragging criminal proceedings to the then prime minister as well as ex-BES leader. Corruption and shady dealing at the highest level. Also note that BES collapsed under likely criminal activities. BES was the biggest, portuguese-owned bank at the time, with an outsize influence on the portuguese speaking finance world.

As can be seen Portugal suffered severe setbacks on it's influence in the 2008 crisis. It lost tech capabilities, financial capabilities and in my opinion will have a long way in the desert, if it ever comes out. Dreadful demographics and one of the lowest population education levels in EU or OECD mean that relationships with Brasil and other under-developed Portuguese speaking countries are one of the few possible lifelines left. Amazingly Portugal's diplomacy is still (ostensively) effective, with Portuguese nationals occupying relevant positions: current UN secretary general, and Durão Barroso as an ex- EU Commission President.

Jair Bolsonaro is a type of politician that would be completely shunned by the political establishment. That does not stop the portuguese president from saying platitudes about him. Therefore if Bolsonaro asks for the heart of a dead king for nationalistic purposes, we oblige and make a nice ceremony about it. Kissing hand and ambivalence on values are our core values.
What I always wonder about fake SD cards and USB drives is, if they could “run DOOM” - can a microSD card be used as an extremely cost effective, low endurance general purpose computers with single level storage?

Bottom of the barrel microSD is about $2.50, I don’t smoke but a pack of cigarette is over twice as that. So microSD-based devices should be able to be distributed in a similar affordability and scale, with computing resource of perhaps late 80s PC. What could it do, for the good or for fun?
Accurate? It reads like, "this drive is not too bad, but don't buy it anyway."
Scientists are evaluated by how much they publish and how many times their papers are cited. There's no incentive to call others' scientists bullshit.

The ranking should assign the score of a paper that was debunked to the paper that debunked it - that would provide incentive to replicating famous sketchy-looking papers.
Energy Efficiency in Transport
Yes, I have. The next step beyond thinking "Aha! Replication crisis!" is that the replication crisis is directing you towards its correction: the goal is replication, correct? And in many instances we fall short of that goal. The corrective action is to refine standards to which we hold scientific research. It is not correct to say, "Darnitall, we have a replication crisis, science is no better able to get us closer to things which are true than religion, divination, palm reading, astrology, and coin flipping." And that is exactly the sense in which the replication crisis is improving our ability to figure out which things are more likely to be true than others.
Generally, kebab-case means that operators must be separated by spaces. Languages like FORTH or LISP might not even treat operators as separate from ordinary functions.

If these metals will be more common, their price will drop.

When the Spanish brought large amounts of gold and silver from the new word, it became less valuable. Because prices are denominated in gold and silver the result was price inflation.

> Generally it is thought that this high inflation was caused by the large influx of gold and silver from the Spanish treasure fleet from the New World, including Mexico, Peru, and the rest of the Spanish Empire.

I‘m a generalist. I know I don’t have time to be an expert in everything. I buy a lot of books about a lot of subjects I’m interested in, but I don’t have the time to read all of them.

But when some work comes my way, the large bookshelf comes in handy, because the books‘ authors knew more than I do.

Sometimes I just buy a book to see if some technology would fit my use case or not. I think it’s faster and cheaper than to dig into online documentation.
> But I've played on keyboards tuned to exact just temperament in a particular key

Well, that's your problem. You're using a keyboard, which doesn't permit you to harmonize dynamically the way an unfretted string instrument does.

Even within a particular key, the pitch that sounds the best for a particular note will depend on which other notes within that key you're attempting to harmonize with. A keyboard can't do that.
So a liquor store should not be responsible for age restrictions and sell alcohol to minors? I think there is always a sliding point between where the government or companies police the rules. It's an interesting conversation where that point should be.

> None of this supports the parent's claim that TV went "from black&white 625x625 to color 300x300", which is just wrong on several levels.

Obviously no one here has experienced pure crystal-clear BW-tv and what happened when they turned the color-carrier on. You had to adjust the focus so that horizontal resolution was below 320. And of course the vertical focus was similarly affected, as there was no separate screws for that.

One more classic story in the same category of humour:

Some poor downtrodden men in Leningrad during the height of the Cold War have been hearing about all the wonderful jobs, weather, and food in Siberia. They are eager to move there but they are wary that it might be a trick, and that once there they won’t be allowed to leave. They agree that one of them should go first and write a letter concealing a secret message back to his comrades in Leningrad. If the letter is written in black ink, then life in Siberia is excellent and the others should come. But if it’s written in red ink, then what they’ve been told is all lies.

Soon they get a letter from the comrade who volunteered to be the first to go to Siberia. It’s in black ink. They eagerly read his glowing report about life in Siberia, the good jobs, comfortable weather, and bountiful food. Their friend finishes his letter by mentioning that there’s just one thing he hasn’t been able to find: red ink.
Is your lifetime not enough or could the resources to become an expert be better?

Looking at sports, it becomes obvious how much can be achieved with the right training. Unfortunately, right now, only the most promising talent in a field receives the best training. If we can automate that, it would be much easier to become an expert in many fields.

So, if you don't want to decide, you could also improve the infrastructure for becoming an expert.
I definitely agree, this is an industry-wide issue. As much as it explains Walmart's actions, I don't think it absolves any of the actors.

So many of our regulations and laws are designed under the assumption that time and attention are unlimited. Under such an assumption, misrepresenting the seller for 95% of the page is fine, because you'll notice the 5% that gives accurate information. Advertising designed to give false impressions are fine, because of course you'll notice that nothing was specifically claimed about a product. Terms of service and privacy policies are binding no matter how unnecessarily long they are, because you have unlimited time to sift through them.

But those assumptions are all clearly and blatantly untrue.

Not necessarily.

If you ponder the importance of proper (robust, reliable, dependable) data management for data that keeps nuclear plants going, for farmaceutical research data, for anything happening on the financial markets, for medical records, for data concerning payroll and the like, etc. etc. then you might appreciate that all the stuff mentioned in the list is indeed really "just toys".
It's certainly a tough problem, but on the other hand:

- It can be part of a constellation of services that all reinforce the value of a single subscription, like what Amazon what is trying to do (sort of)

- It can be the key to getting hundreds of millions of people who can only afford a phone to pay something extra, and to capture them into your ecosystem

- You can get people to join on the basis of a handful of games. Heck, just FIFA alone could be a subscription service.

With the tech and business models we have now, I agree that it is doomed to fail.
Show HN: A minimal JSON online formatter
Correct. And over time we--both as individuals and collectively as a civilization--gradually cull those things which seemed to work at one time but have become clear that they do not, and gradually adopt those things which seem to work better than those. In the end, over long periods of time, what matters is what does work, not what seems to. A society which believes than matter is made of small blue regular polyhedra will fail to develop as well as a society which continually culls and refines its beliefs based on experimental evidence.
I jumped onto AppEngine as soon as I saw it announced (probably here on HN). Probably sometime around late 2009.

Quickly convinced my friend Jeff to get onto it... we saw a need for a datastore wrapper and he (and I a tiny bit) wrote Objectify, which is one of the most widely used tools for AppEngine out there.

Will domains have to be renewed at all in the future?

When you put a transaction on the Bitcoin blockchain, it will stay there forever. You don't have to renew it.

Why not the same for domains? You put "mydomain > 111.222.333.444 signed: me, the mydomain owner" on a blockchain and as long as you do not put another signed message that overrides it, it points to 111.222.333.444 forever.
We then need to see some research into what people actually prefers. Because as some other comment said, I have the feeling that long time users are who prefer crammed UIs, while other people like me find them terribly difficult to work with or even read.
The amount and ‘quality’ of light is what changes color perception. A big box store might have 40-80 footcandles of light at 4000k color temp [0] with a CRI (color rendering index [1]) of 80, where 100 is the best.

A sunlit room will have a CRI of 100 and hundreds to thousands of footcandles of light at 5500k color temp, which renders color vastly different than the interior of Home Depot or your local paint store.

> To me it seems like there is some other, unstated reason to be less transparent

Hiring, mostly. If you hire people that don't want, care, or are able to understand the full picture, the transparency won't pay off. But at small sizes, you generally want to hire people that both can and are eager to understand the whole picture.
And for you, you clearly don't need manual memory management nor high control over memory, memory layout, and memory access. And that's absolutely fine, but don't criticize something which other people REQUIRE and DESIRE. You cannot "solve memory management" because there isn't just "one problem".

As for RAII, the article itself showcases some of the alternatives Odin has with the `defer` statement and `deferred_*` attributes. So Odin can have many of the aspects of RAII without tying it directly to a data-type/struct/class, which itself as many costs and trade-offs. RAII has loads of problems to it and many other things which are required to solve those problems.

This language is just not for you, and that is absolutely fine! But don't proclaim that it's "ignoring the biggest problem that needs solving" when you are assuming everyone has the same needs, requires, and desires as yourself.

n.b. I am the creator of the Odin programming language; go use a language that will help you solve your problems with your requirements.
Exactly my point.

If that idea of your lifetime not being enough is stressing you out, Dr David Burns' work on cognitive behavioural therapy might help. Saying you want to be an expert in many things because you are interested in many things could be papering over some deeper anxiety-driven motivations around 'not being good enough' or 'not being worthy of respect' or 'needing to prove yourself to someone' or 'not wanting to be a nobody' or 'wanting to avoid the bullying you used to get' or etc. The Feeling Good podcast[1] is a good audio introduction and has many examples, his book Feeling Great is more of a self-help style written introduction.

The important question is not "what should I work on?" or "how should I decide and prioritise?", it is something more like "I have thought processes, they model imaginary futures and guide me away from predicted harm. Why do I have an imaginary future of not being enough of an expert and feel suffering in the present? Where did that thought come from and what is it doing for me, and do I want to keep it?".

You can go with the desire for expertise part, "why do I need to be an expert in many things?" - whose respect are you trying to earn? Whose criticism are you trying to avoid? Who are you trying to avoid being like? What emotional disaster is that trying to protect you from? Or the other side, "what is so bad if I am not an expert in many things on my deathbed?", what's imagined social or emotional harm is that warning me of?

Surprised to see NFP mentioned on HN, good for you! We have 6 and practice as well:)
This really sucks to hear. What’s unclear to me is whether Twitter is being negligent or abnormal here or whether this is just shitty world politics unfolding partly on Twitter. Twitter is being used by both sides to fight over a narrative. Nothing new in that respect.

The author doesn't really propose a solution other than Twitter essentially siding with him and take (what appears to me to be) a political stance. Of course moderating political topics isn’t outside Twitter’s wheelhouse, but this is what you get as a society when you let arbitrary entities arbitrate speech: ambiguity and unclear expectations.

On the one hand, it’s reasonable for the author to expect that Twitter removes clear misinformation from their platform since that’s what they purportedly claim to do. On the other hand doing so would go against a national narrative and piss off lots of Pakistanis. Uh oh.

Maybe Twitter was never about being arbiters of facts and instead just pandering to the popular political narrative of the time? Or maybe they are objective and they’re just trying their best and we’re all human and we’ll do better next time? Regardless, this is the reason people get so frustrated with censorship: it cannot be applied objectively and fairly in every case.

Twitter and social commentary aside: sounds like the author needs political asylum or at least real protection. Twitter is not the right entity to depend on to handle this situation, I fear.
This is great advise - if everyone could be a businessman, all of us would be and nobody would be an employee.

Employees only care about their salary / stock options and professional growth and fulfilment. If an employee isn't confident in your ability to manage the business, they will jump ship (which is their right to do so, just as it is yours to fire them when the business falters). And so it is best to keep them focused and motivated on the job they have to do. There maybe some employees that you think have partnership or managerial potential. You should be confident you can groom them, and thus can share some business information with them and observe how they make the best use of that to help you grow your company and / or advance your goals.
> But the current state of discourse on this topic is a complete joke.

I want to make it clear that I agree with you 100% on that much. We're more polarized this year than last year, and we already thought it was very polarized then. I was born in the 70's, I'm an attentive and perceptive dude, and I've never seen anything close to this. People tell me it was worse right before I was born. Someone here gave me a book about the Weather Underground but I haven't finished it yet.

I think it's a blessing in a way that everyone lives in their phone. If the culture war were playing out predominately in meat space, way more people would be dying.

The kids call ideas from 20 years ago reactionary. Wait, hold up. Too many of the kids -know- and believe they -need- the word reactionary, what the fuck, and I'm not talking about vocab.

But I still maintain that the policed do not bear more responsibility than the police. The police are the professionals, and they're the ones empowered to kill people.
In the vast majority of cases, you don't need root access to develop. You can install software and build and run code in your home directory. Root accesss is often just a lazy way for software installers to avoid the extra step or two of modifying their $PATH because some executable is not in /usr/bin
People broke conventional rules with success in both Go and chess before AlphaGo and AlphaZero.

In a similar way, people have been using particular tunings for their songs for a long long long time. The idea of a universal tuning scale is relatively new. No need for AI to point us away from it, we already did that ourselves.

My simple web site (in profile) has many links and references, answers to questions, and details. Be sure to read the top part about ~ "how to read this site", as I have really tried to make the site both readily skimmable, and detailed.

I have also learned some of these things for myself, not depending only on what others, or books, say. Again, details in the site and nothing for sale there, no JS currently either.

California has the largest economy in the U.S. and (if it were its own nation) the fifth largest in the world, with agricultural production/processing representing under 3% of total state GDP. There's lots of money and lots of strategies for mitigating water problems, including things like desalinization on a scale never seen before.

In contrast, Arizona is relatively poor and landlocked. It seems like they're far more likely to be the canary in the coal mine.
So not at all real names. The search for obvious reasons also works with descriptions and a label "File Manager" is much easier to understand and search for than "nautilus".
Very much so. Here's an example document I work with that has information that's difficult to extract from: https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/6929951/CRID-1061543....

Lots of missing context from these sheets that has to be interpreted (ie, how do you taxonomize each field of information?). Then asking questions on top of these documents is a step on top: "is the allegation about sexual violence?", "What is the name and rank of the person being accused?", "Is anything anomalous in the review process?", "Has this person's rank changed in the past 5 years?" etc etc.

Now expand this problem to hundreds of thousands of different types of document.

What would incentivise the creation/migration/maintenance of such a system?
As the saying goes, "when the punishment is money, it's only a punishment for the poor."

There are plenty of mega-wealthy people in California who would pay the premium to maintain their image of wealth, no matter how large. It may raise more money, but I can't imagine that it would deter consumption much, as it's already the rich using the most water.
The missing ingredient is that if the common men--who you think have no better option than to depend blindly on someone they choose to believe--build a civilization based exclusively on the meditations of these holy men who they have accepted as the repositories of truth, they will find that their society will fall to those societies which have a, shall we say, more empirical basis for their view of the world.
