Off the top of my head, I would assume that it's because in nature solar systems form by dust gradually accumulating into planets. This is different to just plonking a brown dwarf right into the fully formed system.

I also think that the solar system isn't entirely stable. The orbits of the planets do influence one another in a way that isn't in equilibrium. It just happens very slowly.

"Tor doesn't protect you from a global adversary

A global passive adversary would be a person or an entity able to monitor at the same time the traffic between all the computers in a network. By studying, for example, the timing and volume patterns of the different communications across the network, it would be statistically possible to identify Tor circuits and thus matching Tor users and destination servers.

It is part of Tor's initial trade-off not to address such a threat in order to create a low-latency communication service usable for web browsing, Internet chat or SSH connections.

> 2. Your question is unclear to me, but most people who have attempted and failed to commit suicide regret that decision.

Couldn't this thesis explained by selection bias? I mean if you don't regret your suicid decision, you'll probably try again (and again) until you succeed. This IMHO biases the survivers strongly towards those who regret it.
I'd love to agree with your idealism but I think it's a bit irrational.

It's impossible for us to KNOW whether a given person has the ability to innovate, or the potential to be brilliant. That's absolutely true. However, we have no concrete evidence to support the idea that any given individual CAN innovate, or has the potential for brilliance.

Quite the opposite: We already know of many heritable traits that impair an individual's ability to compete in the workplace, or perform effectively in difficult fields. Most of these are classified as diseases or mental disorders, but regardless...

Acknowledging that not every person is necessarily born with identical talents and capabilities is important if we want to empower these people to do good things and achieve what the rest of us can achieve. Claiming that everyone has equal potential implies that those who don't overachieve are simply not trying hard enough.

(I say this as a person who, due to environment or biology, ended up with an unpleasant assortment of conditions that impair my ability to compete in the workplace.)

Your comments are not very helpful,as you are quoting growth rates from arbitrarily selected starting points.

The main measure of an economy is GDP per capita. Apart from cyclical fluctuations, the main drivers of GDP per capita are are investment and productivity.

In the UK both of these are below that of the major developed economies.

As for the current growth of the economy-all is not well, as there is a large current account deficit, which is being funded by borrowing from overseas and is not sustainable.
> Who said this?

Said what exactly? The comment you were responding to is titled "How can you dismiss socialism so casually?"

Well, that's awfully convenient, isn't it? If we only consider technology that's developed by the government it's much easier to reach the desired conclusion.

I assume that no one in its right mind would refute a nuanced criticism of Open Source, but the grandparent just didn't think it necessary to be nuanced or elaborate or make some concrete point at all. He just went for the quick pun and is being down-voted for it.
> No, some/most of the research underpinning the first iteration of these cherry picked technologies was paid for by the government, but the development of them into the ubiquitous form in which you and I are benefiting from them on a daily basis was purely private capitalist endeavour.

First, you're understating the government contribution. DARPA didn't just research network theory. They built a network. TCP/IP was designed under contract. Also, that point undermines the original argument, which is that entrepreneurs are necessary for innovation. Once the technology exists, development is something that can be done with a rate-regulated monopoly. AT&T wired up every person in America under such a regime.

I'm not saying that this would be my preferred model, but its one that works just fine.
Except that's not what I'm doing at all.

I was trying to say that the inequality and "hatred" towards inequality and wealth(both claims unsubstantiated, with emotionally charged language)he is attributing to "socialists"(used as almost a slur in his text, also, wrong, social democracies are the wealthiest systems around) is in his head. You are the one misrepresenting my argument.

And just because we have it "better", doesn't mean everyone has at least a reasonable standard of living. Einstein should be earning a lot more, but a village idiot also deserves to not live in dire poverty.
You can't. And you shouldn't trust some John Doe and deliver the full solution upfront. I personally look for long-term tasks from "legitimate" companies. After some initial collaboration, you and the company naturally begin to trust each other. E.g. I'm paid hourly, but I don't use any control mechanism for that (like that odesk screensnapper and keylogger, ridiculous...). I just state how many hours I worked for some task and that's it.

If I were a web developer, I definitively apply for many remote web dev jobs you can find on HN's Who is Hiring thread. Try next month - and double your odesk rate.

I've done a little bit of work on Freelancer, and I did some work on RaC years ago - you just have to pick carefully. With the low-quality projects, there's also alot of low-quality developers, who copy and paste the same response to every project (are are often front accounts for development sweat shops). If you're in the same area as the project owner, and can write up a decent proposal (meaning you spent 2 minutes reading the project description and 5 minutes writing why you're best) you can win a large amount of work.

There are alot of projects where you can tell the project owner is "just outsourcing it" and thinks they'll get $25,000 of dev for $250. The overall volume is high enough, however, that you can find some quality gigs.

What I do have a problem with is nickle-and-diming the site does, especially with regard to their "tests". For instance, the ColdFusion test is probably 8 years old, and pretty embarrassing. (and despite some attitudes to the contrary, the language is quite current) Even "modern" tests like the HTML 5 test seem off with regard to content covered. They almost seems as if they were written using $25 contractors off the site.

I'm sure that Freelancer.com did their due diligence, but as a mere user of this and other marketing forums I don't see how this valuation makes sense. The site's primary source of revenue is the percentage it takes from WSO sales - "Warrior Special Offers". These are normally rehashed guides with such useful information as how to put Adsense on your site, with titles like "Make $300/day on Autopilot!". WSO's are the butt of jokes on other Internet marketing forums, as they are usually nonsense. Some other forums actually have sections dedicated to quickly throwing together useless WSO's with attractive titles, creating fake reviews, and getting them sold through Warrior Forum.

Definitely not an acquisition I would have made.

Thank you. I think people are far too quick to imply every problem is caused by bureaucratic over regulation.

Manhattan is also the counter example that always comes to mind for me. If you have a lot of relatively well off people chasing the same thing the prices are going to be high no matter what.

Urban rents generally only come down if the economy crashes or an area becomes undesirable (i.e. a lack of people people willing to pay the prices).

I would love to see examples of an urban area (i.e. not a suburb) where rents went down MAINLY because of building new units, even while demand and the economy remained strong.

Ha, I'd forgotten about that bug report (just closed it) -- it was only in the SuSE version of the aarch64 QEMU, not in the mainline one.

I expect most code generators use BR for "jump to destination in arbitrary register" -- BR and RET behave identically except for RET providing a hint for branch prediction and for debuggers that it's a return-from-subroutine rather than a random jump; so "RET LR" is really common and "RET <any other register>" is kind of weird.
I would suggest that you don't call your free users "freeloaders". That's a pejorative term that suggests you're being taken advantage of. You offered your product for free, they took you up on the offer. It's fine that you've decided it's better for your business to cease offering the free tier, but it's unprofessional to use a pejorative to describe customers who accepted your offer of a free product.

> When I do code reviews I read the tests first. How can you review code with no tests?

Please grow out of this religion if you care about robust, secure and well written software.

You can look and see what are the types of things that get fixed in OpenBSD. Tests are not going to tell you that code works around safety measures built in to the OS. Tests are not going to tell you that the code uses time as entropy to seed RNGs. Tests are unlikely to tell you about the subtle integer overflows or out-of-bounds accesses that attackers can exploit. Tests are unlikely to tell your daemon will ungracefully fail due to fd exhaustion while serving a larger amount of requests on a loaded system. Tests are not going to tell you there are deceivingly familiar looking functions with surprising return values that will confuse people. Tests are not going to tell about bad style and code smell that makes life harder for anyone working on or looking at the code.

There are so many things that are hard or impossible to test, but which are vital to handle right if you're doing anything robust and secure. In fact you could construct a test for some of these things, in theory, but in practice you never will. And you certainly never will unless you have actually read the code, because all these things are issues within implementation details inside the black box; you must read the code (and understand the underlying platform) to even become aware of these issues.

Sure, tests are really useful for catching some specific issues. But there is so much more. Tests are somewhat like compiler warnings: often extremely helpful, but even totally insecure crap can compile cleanly. And it is possible to write good code even if you're not using the smartest compiler to compile it.

If you wish to learn how to review code with no tests, I recommend you read the C language chapter from The Art of Software Security Assesment[1]. Actually read the entire book. Then go through the commit logs in some project -- such as OpenBSD, who've been doing it for almost 20 years -- and see what kind of issues they find and fix.

I always wondered: does your contract really state "whatever you build", or does it state something like "whatever you build in the same (specific) domain you're working on for the company"? Let us say, you work for a cookie-cutter company, designing new cookie-cutters. I understand that, if you would invent in your spare time a doughnut cutter, the company could argue that you did so using company's resources (namely you working on cookie cutters, learning all about cutting cookies, designing cookie-cutters, and related stuff). Now, if you would invent in your spare time a flying moped, would that belong to the company as well? And if you'd write a novel about Romance on Monkey Island?
That would seem odd to me as it has no bearance on your work for the cookie-cutter company, not seems your experiences at that company transfer to these domains you work on in your spare time (and vice versa, for that matter).

1. I think it makes sense to try them for any classification, regression, or feature extraction problem. They don't work all the time, sometimes you really don't need the extra depth--one hidden layer can be fine, and they can be pretty slow to train (even with GPU). I've also seen people try to build their own, implement it wrong, get bad results, then complain NNs don't work. So test for yourself, just make sure you're not doing it wrong.

2. It really depends. More is almost always better.

3. Training a bunch of models using Bayesian optimization to optimize the model hyperparameters (so you don't have to pick them) and putting the last few in an ensemble and averaging results is pretty close to out of the box. This is the workflow we use with ersatz.

4. Despite lunches not being free, you should probably use dropout. It's ridiculously good at preventing over fitting but can take longer to train (although there's been some work w/ "fast dropout" to speed it up)

5. GPU gets you ~40x speed up over CPU. So if you're using CPU and I'm using GPU, I can do in 1 day what would take you a month and a half. And then I might train for a week or more on GPU (I think the imagenet models were trained for a week or two, but not sure how many GPUs used). Otherwise, computational effort varies.

6. You use mini batches, so you load on as many samples as fit in GPU memory (with the model params) and then pull those into smaller batches. You rotate the "large batch" periodically. Neural networks can continue taking in new data and updating their model (online learning) and are particularly attractive for very large data sets.

General points: use GPU, don't build your own unless as an academic exercise, use dropout, test empirically on your own data. And check out Bayesian optimization of hyperparameters, I'm becoming more and more convinced it's better at picking them than human experts anyway.
Just moved back to Sweden from the US and was surprised to see my income tax go down by 4-5%. I feared I had to take a pay cut by 25-30%, but with the lower income tax and 25% pension, I'm actually slightly better off now. The levelling difference is the 25% sales tax on pretty much everything except food and books.

Fundamentally, wealth can only be created against the backdrop of social order. If you gave Zuck $10 million, far more capital then he started Facebook with, and sent him to Somalia, he would not be a billionaire today. He would've been killed and his money taken. Any business he built would've been taken from him. Because he's not skilled in war, and without social order that's the only skill that matters.

Each person equally contributes to the social order, and therefore each person has equal say in the structure of that society. That's the basis for liberal democracy. If people feel that inequality undermines the social order, they are entitled to do something about it.

I think it might be defensible, but I'm not sure it's correct. The question isn't really "is it easier to put a man on the Moon today than it is build a reusable rocket which cuts cost by 90% today", it's "was it easier to put a man on the moon in 1960 than it is to build a reusable rocket which cuts costs by 90% today".

The Apollo program was conceived in 1960, before either the suborbital flight of John Glenn or the earlier orbital flight of Yuri Gagarin. Before we had successfully built and tested a rocket capable of putting a single man in space, we started a space program with the goal of putting a man on the Moon, which would in the end involve launching a three-man spacecraft, with sufficient fuel to carry it to the Moon, manually reconfiguring it in flight, flying it for three days through the void, entering orbit around the Moon, detaching a portion of the spacecraft to land upon the Moon under manual controls, bouncing around the Moon in space suits, goddamn driving around the Moon in little cars (later missions), flying the space craft back into lunar orbit, rendezvousing with the orbiting spacecraft and manually re-docking, flying the ship back three days to Earth, and re-entering the Earth's atmosphere and landing safely.

And they did it in under 10 years. SpaceX turns 12 this year.
