Idea: In the same way that the Alaska Permanent Fund has created a vocal pro-industry constituency out of nothing (aka the residents of Alaska, who are paid from extractive revenues), maybe we could drum up political support by distributing the revenues directly to the people. As in, "Dear Mr. Smith, you live here, therefore here is your monthly check for your share of the dynamically-priced congestion tax revenues that we collected on your behalf. Have a nice day."

That might be more palatable than "We invisibly 'lowered' your tax bill elsewhere, Mr. Smith."

That would increase airlines' cost per-seat-mile, which will increase the average ticket costs for the majority of the public and decrease seat availability (and result in the cancellation of marginal routes).

Airlines have near universally tiny economy seats because the vast majority of people are sufficiently satisfied with small seats to be unwilling to patronise an alternative airline with slightly more expensive but larger economy seats. Why should we subsidise people that want premium economy at a lower price?
Interestingly, the Kindle (at least, the Paperwhite I have) does not seem to hyphenate words, preferring instead to leave a ragged right edge if it's not able to justify within tolerances.

I realize this is a completely different situation than Graeme's, where he is deliberately hyphenating words in an anachronistic way, presumably for stylistic reasons. But I wonder if Amazon do have some sort of stance on hyphenation based on reader data.

Your mileage may vary with the accuracy of that site, but in general practice it should be well known that Windows 7 install base easily eclipses Windows 8 two or three fold.

Like you, I enjoyed the article.

Your comment that Quanta is "an editorially independent branch of the Simons Foundation" jogged my memory.

There was an article from Quanta that appeared on HN 11 days ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8699422). It had the same tone ("stat-mech techniques give basic insight into how universe works"). That article was more in-specialty for me than the article in this post, and I felt some of the grouchiness mentioned by @Xcelerate above ("claims to significance much greater than demonstrated significance"). I wrote a grouchy comment and then deleted it, feeling it was ungenerous.

While writing that comment, I noticed that the work in that other article (follow the link to the PDF on arxiv) was supported by the Simons Foundation. I thought, oh well, I guess I could regard Quanta as a press outlet for the Simons Foundation (which is fine).

But, as you say, they are indeed claiming editorial independence. Hmm. This isolated case doesn't mean much, but perhaps something to keep an eye on. (The OP here does not seem to be supported by Simons.)

What they did is take a control group that's the same size of the autism group. Then they did what's called leave-one-out cross-validation (which is exactly what it says, train on the entire set leaving one out, then use that one for validation and do so all ways). The measure they chose (Accuracy) is not without its flaws, but it would not be susceptible to the one you mention.

For instance, if you took 100 negative and 100 positive and then ran your test, you'd expect an accuracy of something a little more than 50%.

There exist very accurate tests for autism, but /getting/ a diagnosis can be difficult. A teacher spotted autistic symptoms in me back when I was ten and recommended I get tested. It wasn't until three years later that a couple thousand dollars got taken out of my college fund and I received a day's trial of tests to determine that I have it. Insurance did not cover the procedure.

Now-a-days, people have more understanding and awareness (this was a little over ten years ago), but it is still an expensive procedure, involving many specialists of different areas, sometimes neurologists and brain scans.

That works fine for short cooks and for the most forgiving proteins, but it does not work well for long cooks, braise cuts, vegetables, or high-temp proteins (like confit).

The US is much more spread out than Europe, much more. A flight between the major cities in Europe, say London to Paris will be maybe $100 one way. A similar trip (distance wise) in the US from New York to Boston would also be $100 one way. A lot of people in the US fly much further than that. A trip from New York to Phoenix Arizona (not even all the way across the country) is a similar distance to Lisbon to Helsinki and will probably cost about $400 for a round trip flight in the US, there and back again.

Being an Extrovert in an Introvert-Dominant Workplace
Good point! For me, I think the question here isn't so much "performance gains" as "interoperability, near-ubiquity, and staying power".

For "interoperability", I'm just going to quote myself:

"If you write your library in Perl, guess what, only people writing Perl will use it. If you write it in Java, well, maybe the Scala folk will wrap it up, or the Jython folk, but you won't get any people writing in Ruby to use it. If you write it in C++, you can provide efficient bindings to any of those languages."

In terms of ubiquity, what I mean is that almost every platform has a standards-compliant-ish C++ compiler for it. And before people get in a tizzy, I mean weird platforms, not just computers with a browser installed. That's Intel, yes, but also DSPs, FPGAs, ARMs, and whole host of other chips. This didn't used to be true, but with LLVM, almost an entire standards-compliant C++ toolchain can be generated for your platform pretty easily. The exception tends to be, ironically enough, exceptions. They need to be special-cased for your chip, but still, C++ exists in places where the JVM doesn't dare go.

And finally, for staying power, I'll quote myself again!

"Look at FFmpeg or ImageMagick. They are libraries that just _won't die_, no matter how hard people have tried. My god, ImageMagick was written in 1987, and it now has Haskell bindings[0]! The only way to get that sort of longevity (and old code is good code, after all [1]) is to write in language that will outlast the ups and downs of the language or framework du jour, and C and C++ have proven to have that staying power."

I'm not sure what your point is. Most ideas have some connection to ideas that came before. Are you saying England has added nothing to the idea, or that he is knowingly/intentionally leaving out Progigine as the rightful originator? If neither of these points are the case then your tone is entirely unwarranted. Many times ideas get re-discovered until the timing is right for them to gain wide acceptance. This point takes nothing away from England.

Yes, I completely agree. I had a client that pushed for a large enterprise application to be written in C++. By large, I mean it took a ~30 person team about 3 years to develop. In the end, I think the 80/20 rule applied and well under 20% of the code was performance critical while the rest was handling common operations that in higher level languages would either be easy or part of a standard library. On top of that, once the client wanted to take over the project they had a hell of a time finding competent C++ developers.

Back in 2005 two Microsoft developers (Raymond Chen and Mariani) did a blog series where one of them wrote and optimized a C++ Chinese/English dictionary and the other did the same in C#[0]. The naïve C# version outperformed the C++ version until Raymond performed several significant optimizations.

Yes: you can use glass jars with liquid (oil, marinade, etc.) inside them. Make sure the jar isn't too large; there's potential safety issues with ramp-up temperature of the center of the jar vs the outside.
Sure it has. Science has done quite a bit at explaining consciousness. It still has a long way to go but we are much further along than we were pre-science.

Consciousness interacts with the world through its affect on material substances. And so there is a window by which we can study consciousness objectively.

autism therapy isn't something where you "blindly admit your child into [another's] care".

It's typically family therapy -- really, a form of parent training. Our speech language pathologist was fond of reminding us that she spent one hour a week with our son and we spent over a hundred waking hours with him. I would say the best outcome of Early Intervention was that I had better techniques to help my son learn to communicate, express himself, respond to stressful situations, etc.

And the techniques are actually useful for all children, not just on the autism spectrum. I found I was able to use the same techniques to great effect when I taught math in the public schools.
Tangential, but I'd like to point out that you can achieve compile-time metaprogramming much more easily in D, which provides the entire language during compilation [1]. I find this to be much more straightforward than arcane uses of templates such as SFINAE [2].

I would certainly think about the other replies that people have given, but allow me to give you a slightly different view of your situation and the industry as a whole. When I was first starting out I wrote in Basic and then very shortly after in C. From there I moved to Visual Basic and I thought "Wow! What am I doing? I'm not comfortable in this. I am much more efficient and happy in C or my old Basic. This is the worst idea ever!" But, I did it. Then there was C++, .Net in various flavors, and Java also in various flavors. Each time I thought this language/framework stinks! It's actually a relatively common thing to think from a developers standpoint. In very recent years I have learned Ruby and Rails as well as some Python and Django. Then a few weeks ago a very lucrative and fun contract came up in PHP (of all things)! At this point I feel very comfortable with three ideas in my career that might be useful to you:

1) There is no perfect language and all of them can do amazing things with the right person (me! and heck you too!) behind them.

2) Sometimes I will be less effective when I am starting in a new or changing environment but half the fun is finding where I can lead and make great changes for the users.

3) Offshoring will exacerbate issues these issues but my ability to make substantial impacts increases exponentially with the amount of offshoring that is going on within an organization. I capitalize on this.

Obviously, if you are just tired of being there and don't want to stay, then leave. Though I would suggest like either that you find a job before you quit your current position. However, if the whole code base needs a good refactoring, by all means, make an impact! Start in a small piece and make a difference. Start to lead.
That language is a little loaded. These aren't taxis. Taxis are cars that sit and take fares from the street. They take up room, add to traffic, etc. This more like requesting a car service, which is pretty common in big cities. Taxi regulation being used to stop it is a sign of corruption, not law enforcement.

I think there are regulatory hurdles to be crossed here, but a wholesale banning of the service is extreme, short-sighted, and anti-business.
I fully expect plastics labelled with e.g "up to 90 degrees C" to not release anything unwanted into my food if I stay well below that temp. I'd also expect the label to have a wide margin to dangerous temperatures.

In theory you can use anything that handles the temperature, such as silicone. You could in theory force your food into a jar with a bit of oil.
Clearly, you know nothing about design. This design language looks pretty solid to me, and is much nicer (IMO) than Google's gee-whiz Material language.
Still, those are just two among many.
