I disagree. It makes big difference weather its government or somebody else.

Government has too much power(guns) so it must be checked, and strict rules on what they can and can't do established.

On the other hand private entities, should be allowed to say for them self what you can or can't do with their equipment (work PC's, phones) and on their premises (digital and physical: homes, offices, blogs, forums, ... ). This is fundamental for private ownership to have any meaning.

And if you don't like rules that this private entity has established you can go elsewhere. (anti monopoly law's should ensure you have that option ; but they are not always perfect or applied)

So freedom of speech should only apply to governments.
KDBus was designed with sandboxed applications in mind. So use-case wise think android-style "use the camera app to take a picture/video", where the camera app transfers the media to another app over kdbus, thus without leaking information about the system.
The way you generally deal with the second problem is to have a profiler that can give you the inclusive time spent in a subroutine, not just the exclusive time. The inclusive time is the time spent in that sub and in subs it calls, the exclusive time is time spent only in that sub.

When you have inclusive time it usually becomes easy to find that function that's spending 80% of the time in either itself or in the things it calls.

Yes, they (Google) basically paid them off.

What's interesting is that I don't see Bild in the list of newspapers backing this, and the word is that one of the main entities fighting against Google is Axel Springer, Bild's publisher, which has enormous influence on German politicians. And, as it happens, right now German politicians have quite a big influence on what what gets decided in Brussels.

Anyway, IMHO the traditional printed press is fighting a losing battle, not against Google, but against technological change, and they kind of know it, at least the smart guys among them have started to realize that. Long term they cannot realistically compete against the likes of Buzzfeed, Twitter statuses, YT videos and targeted sub-reddits. For example and despite all its faults, /r/syriancivilwar is miles ahead of traditional media when it comes to reporting on the ongoing Syrian Civil War.
Ask HN: I'm going on an internetless vacation today. Any book recommendations?
In about 6 hours I am heading south to an all inclusive resort for a week. There's no internet, and not much for TV, so we plan on doing a lot of reading on the beach.

Does anyone have book suggestions?

So far I'm taking down Deadhouse Gates by Steven Erickson, Walden by Thoreau, and a book on the Philosophy of Language to mess with my brain.

Any kind of book will do, but bonus points for books that I can learn something from but aren't ridiculously difficult, are travel friendly, and I can probably find at a university library.

Let me know some of your favourites.

Thanks!

>You're comparing a lightweight thing with a security policy driven message bus. Obviously the latter is going to be more expensive.

The real problem is he doesn't give any data for volume/bandwidth processed in his case.

I don't see why a "security policy driven message bus" would be more expensive than what he describes (unzipping, business rules encorcement, analyzing, etc).
I liked this:

If you're solving problem X and realise "hang on, that's actually a special case of problem Y", it's actually the single most dangerous point in the development of your solution; you're only one step away from the logical conclusion of "I should solve Y instead". Now you're solving the wrong problem.

I think this resonates with most of us but we will still pursue the general case. I think its because problems are simpler when expressed in their general case than with all the hoary detail of a special case. Its close to a rule of nature: whenever we see complexity we can discover simple elegant rules that govern it, and as programmers who's main challenge is taming complexity, we are prepared to risk anything in our pursuit of simplicity, including more complexity...!

You seem to imply that Netflix gets to pick ad libitum what movies and shows they offer, while in reality they have to negotiate with the studios. From the point of view of the studios, a legal platform where content can be freely streamed for a modest amount of money, leading further down the road to nobody wanting to pay much money for expensive shows probably does not sound much more thrilling that fewer sales at a higher price point in exchange for more piracy.

I'd much prefer a an IPC that lets me pass a socket and use that socket on both ends, instead of this.

I really still don't see a good-enough scenario for this.
"Assume the speed of light (or ...) is the processing speed limit for the computer which simulates the universe."

Wholly unfounded assumption. If the universe is a simulation, there's no reason why any particular constant would be the processing speed limit.

Indeed, even talking about processing speed limit is probably an incoherent concept when considering the question of whether the universe is a simulation. If our universe is a simulation, then some other entity is simulating our universe. We know absolutely nothing about the world of that entity, and have no grounds to conclude or assume anything whatsoever about the machinery of the simulator.

The egregious mistake in this "test" is the implicit assumption that the machinery some entity (in a universe we know nothing about) would use to simulate our universe would be a computer of the same basic architecture as the one sitting in your bedroom.

Sigh...and this is why we are here :)

From wiki [1]:

> Parallel computing is a form of computation in which many calculations are carried out simultaneously, operating on the principle that large problems can often be divided into smaller ones, which are then solved concurrently ("in parallel").

...

Parallel computer programs are more difficult to write than sequential ones,[5] because concurrency introduces several new classes of potential software bugs, of which race conditions are the most common.

And the article for concurrency [2]:

> In computer science, concurrency is a property of systems in which several computations are executing simultaneously, and potentially interacting with each other. The computations may be executing on multiple cores in the same chip, preemptively time-shared threads on the same processor, or executed on physically separated processors.

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_computing

[2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrency_(computer_science)

Concurrency is a problem (doing things at the same time leads to resource contention), while parallelism is a performance technique. Fault tolerance is something else altogether, and can apply to concurrency problems as well as parallel speedups. Doing things in parallel as a form of redundancy isn't really parallelism...in general, the word parallelism != "in parallel" while concurrency != "concurrently," though they are definitely related.

Phew.

The simplest intuition is to exchange "truth" as the airy concept of "is valid/reflects the world" with "I possess tangible evidence to the case".

So, "2 + 2" is true because I can generate tangible evidence of it, but "the Collatz conjecture" is not true because I cannot. It's also not false. To be "false" I'd have to have tangible evidence of "the Collatz conjecture is false", a counterexample. This "I lack evidence" as neither truth nor falsehood is the characteristic of intuitionistic/constructive logic that makes it so interesting.

To be clear, there is now an element of time involved. Or, as others have stated, constructive logic reflects the "communicative nature" of proof. What I should have said a second ago is "The Collatz conjecture is not true (for me) (right now) (because I personally don't happen to have evidence for its validity yet)". If you had a (valid) proof it'd be true for you and once you communicated that proof to me it'd be true for me.

So in the case of rejecting "not not P => P", it's merely a statement of the fact that "not (not P)" failing to actually generate any evidence for "P", it merely shows that there isn't "not evidence". If you live in a world where things must be true or false (e.g., excluded middle holds) then this is sufficient, but if you demand I show you why "P" holds, then "not (not P)" is unsatisfactory.
Second that. I tried to use ELK stack for application logs but it felt too windows-ish. I had to use my mouse and a lot of mouse-clicking to find what I needed.
I was happy at my previous job when we had a single log-server which we ssh-ed to and got access to logs from all machines via NFS. It wasn't the fastest way to examine logs but it was very comfortable using all these grep, awk, sed, cut and etc tools.

So I was using "brain" in the same sense as the article, as a shorthand for "central nervous system".

I think we already knew that once you acquire a CNS, it can evolve rather rapidly to quite complex brains, and that doesn't seem intuitively surprising. It's that first leap to a basic nervous system which seems like the high activation energy barrier, and if it may have happened twice rather than just the once, then I find that interesting.

Government grows with GDP because people want more services, less crime, less poverty, and stuff like that; there is a reason libertarians can't get elected.

There is no reason for that stuff to grow with (real) GDP, unless you define "poverty" as a relative quantity. It doesn't cost more (in real $) to provide someone with housing and food simply because other people also consume caviar (which raises GDP). It doesn't cost more to put someone in jail simply because other people have an XBox.

That stuff would grow linearly with population, however, unlike research. Research doesn't grow because 1 scientist can make 1 discovery which then works for either 10 people or 10B people.

And really, why not spend additional GDP on public R&D?

Concretely speaking - the population increases from 150M to 300M and that population now enjoys XBoxes, MRIs, restaurant meals and larger houses. Why have the number of feasible research projects suddenly quadrupled? Why should there be a relation between restaurant meals and research projects?

I've seen multiple sources showing reduced fertility in high-IQ females (across multiple countries.)

The culprit, however, doesn't seem to be raw intelligence as such, but modern western education, which seems to have a dose dependent sterilizing effect on females. In that light, high IQ isn't fertility-reducing in itself, rather low IQ is protective against modern western education.

Even though this incident sounds more personal than idealistic, it keeps bringing back up the question of the purpose of universities.

I am okay with universities being a medium of education, where one can take any courses they want, and passing and failing is irrelevant (MOOCs?)

I am okay with universities being a place to enjoy four years of camaraderie and self exploration before committing to life or career goals.

I am okay with universities being a stamp of selection, i.e you were good enough to get into harvard so you must be smart.

However, universities try to be all three and fail miserably at all of them, while leaving students in a large debt that most are unable to reconcile with what they got out of it, along with a life-long 'average gpa' that barely reflects abilities.
Moreover, the simulation speed would not be related with any "speed" inside the simulation. If the processing speed decrease, the simulation will be slowed, but inside nobody would possibly notice it. If you stop the simulation, everything is stopped, anybody would be "frozen", and there's no way to detect something like that inside the simulation.

Selfish greed is also the reason why people buy movies instead of donating their money to charity or using that time to plant a tree. People want stuff, and they want it to be a) good and b) cheap. And you're totally dismissing the first category.

You exclude a whole lot of use cases to make your point. It's a disaster for Europeans to do many of the same things. Netflix and Apple have different libraries depending on where you are. Many people don't have credit cards and these services often don't link up with foreign banks. I'm in the train every day and there are always many people within eyesight watching movies (I don't know how they get their content, but it's not Netflix).

A lot of people in Holland pay for Spotify. A lot pay for Netflix. A WHOLE lot pay for cable television. And yet many of these people still use Popcorn Time or torrent. Why? Clearly they're willing to pay for stuff. Netflix is cheap but cable television is not... so they're even will to pay quite a lot for content!

It's sad that content providers have to compete with free, but the genie's out of the bottle. And it's partially the fault of the content provider's not being able to compete on other areas (quality, convenience).
