> I don't know, but it's a fascinating experiment, anyone who is not paying for it should be in favor of this experiment -- unless you just hate poor people.

What a bizarre statement. It's really easy to read that as two things:

1. You're totally game to experiment, just so long as it's not your money.
2. Anyone who doesn't agree must hate poor people.

I'm pretty certain you didn't really mean either, but the net result of that sentence is awfully unproductive: "anyone who doesn't like this must either have skin in the game or hate poor people!"

Hiring people will be so much more enjoyable :

Hire when business is booming

Send people home when business is slow

No tears if you let someone go

No more billing the customer for employees who do nothing

More skilled people to hire

Training employees for the price of training

More people to chose from

No more minimum wage(!)

Free employees who want to learn

Honest short job interviews (starting wages as low as zero)

No more complex pension plans

No more complex insurance

Less medical tests

No more unreliable temp employees

No more employees who hate you with a passion

Less theft and vandalism

A lot more customers as the economy now works for human beings

A lot more businesses to buy from and to sell to as anyone can now start a business

More competition thus more efficiency

More social interaction and empathy

And (I jokingly add) Incentive for employers to stop acting like assholes

And the social benefits and savings are also huge: We could stop breeding massive amounts of criminals whose annual cost is equal to four years at Harvard[1] Police officers would be able to do their job without fear of being killed and without killing people. But the greatest social and economic accomplishment is to set people free from the life of fear that is job insecurity. People can stop living from day to day, dream the big dream, learn what needs to be learned and accomplish the big dream. This might be hard to imagine if you have a nice life and know nice people who are doing well for themselves. But even then you know how nice it is to have help from friends who believe in accomplishment. A few words of encouragement, a bit of help with your weaknesses. Ohh it is a world of difference from being surrounded by people who believe in failure because they've seen nothing else. Imagine the kind of help you would get from friends or relatives who just want to get drunk or high simply to forget what miserable lives they have. They will be there for you every day to remind you that whatever it is you are trying to do won't amount to anything - and then they will enjoy your failures.

Not unlike the people who don't want to see a basic income because other people might enjoy their lives. Those of us who want to build a modern, functional, resilient and happy society have to work with these people who want nothing more than to see others suffer. shrug

>Humility is a good thing.

Yes. But our culture does not value humility much. It values arrogance and over-confidence much more. Take a look at characters like Iron Man, or sit through some managerial or high level analyst interviews.
Because it also has the highest impact on your scientists. Asking somebody to stop publishing in the major journals of his field is not going to get as much understanding as the weaker measures. You don't want all your potential PhD students running for the hills because they fear they won't get good publications...
The way you worded 1) shows that you prefer it, so you should do that. Simple. :)

When people don't have to pick their housing based on the location of low-wage jobs (dense cities), I would expect the rent to go down due to better utilization of the total housing supply.
Not really, when I started reading HN about 2 years ago I realized there was a lot I needed to catch up on, but since then I feel like I've gotten up to speed on the topics I need / want to care about, and I'm glad to ignore people talking expertly about things I have no interest in (like web frameworks).

Also the more you post here the more you realize how many doofuses there are here (not naming names). If you see someone posting something that makes you think they're smart, start digging thru their post history and see if they're (a) actually smart, (b) just sound smart, or (c) might be smart in this one narrow focused area but have really dumb thoughts about other things.

Its the javascript community as a whole that is divided, generally between imperative/OOP and functional devs. Has nothing to do with Node or otherwise.

Even if you like classical inheritance, the Class keyword is poorly implemented for it, from both a normal OOP language's point of view OR from a prototypal inheritance point of view. It's bad at both.
I suspect they're waiting for the proposal to be more stable for the official integration. This seems like a great opportunity for the community to write a decorator and let a convention form before it gets merged into the core framework
That loan was made because the US has significant interests in catalyzing the growth of electric transport, for many reasons. It was not designed to make the country money directly. Tesla is far from alone in receiving such loans from the government. Oil companies receive far more money as direct tax breaks (i.e. never paid back).
If you genuinely believe that you are in agreement, I think you missed pavel_lishin's point.

And while it's true you have no obligation towards my feelings, you have obligation to the quality of discussion here on HN. You have to act like those with differing opinions might have arrived at them through a lot of thought and study, not just by being overly-emotional and ignorant of economics.

I would like to see the governments that fund research get together and create a rule that your government funding requires that a public version of the paper be made available online before that paper could be submitted to a private publisher. This would help to separate the public availability of useful information paid for by the public issue from the academics' career-promotion-via-publication issue.

That would, of course, mean that papers would appear prior to acceptance and peer review, which would speed up the pace of research at the cost (if peer review is of any value) of putting more shaky research out there. I doubt this would be a big problem, since researchers in the field know what is going on anyway (they get early copies or at least early discussion at pay-walled conferences already), and others who read the research could see that it had not yet been published in a journal and decide for themselves what to make of it.

Papers that got peer reviewed and published would still have the published version used in citations, so you could see how far it had gone in the publishing process at time of citation. I wouldn't be surprised if people in the field knew how much credibility to give to a paper based on the researchers without waiting for the researchers' more established rivals to "review" it to death.

Your analysis should take into account the phenomenon that a literal interpretation of a string of words is not always a real meaning of that string of words.
A while ago people tried to find what the ‘average’ criminal looked like, and by averaging a lot of faces they came up with an above average attractiveness composite.
The idea was if you took a normal bland face and randomly changed something you would on average get a worse outcome, and occasionally gets significantly above average effects.(Most people: more negative traits than positive)<(average model: few negative or positive traits aka forgettable) < (super model: few negative traits and enough difference to be memorable)

A similar idea seems to fit intelligence, where the most common traits in a population are beneficial and most mutations are generally negative. So, take the just the 'most common’ traits and add in poor nutrient absorption in the gut and you get lower IQ even if the connection is fairly indirect.

The question then becomes what happens if you just take the most common traits for everything? Statistically, you would expect an above average as most people have far more negative than positive mutations, but not an outstanding result.

Now combine an above average baseline (50% of variability) with an ideal environment (50% of variability) and bam really high test scores.

Nah... I think it's more because they don't have much access to media. They are a sizable portion of the pop. But like most minorities, they are underrepresented in popular culture and zeitgeist.

Ask HN: How do you deploy software?
I'm curious, what do you do (at a high-level, you only get technical if you think it's super unique or exciting) when deploying software?

I'm thinking of finding some common ways this is done and perhaps this can lead into a knowledge base of what other people do.

Thanks :)
OK, that answers a few questions. It's not ignorance, it's bias.
> Participants that trade through microsecond latency advantages are extracting a tax on everyone else.

I completely disagree with this and have seen no proof of it one way or the other.

One data point that convinces me lacking any proof, is that spreads are tightest in the products with the highest competition for latency. It seems that speed is bringing the tax down not up.
You're right, it's a list of the OSes and some of their strengths. I'd rather not get into a container OS war on "which one is better", as I stated at the beginning of the article it always depends on your needs :)
Ouch, that's a scathing comment on EU CS research. Being in the US I know very little about it, though I do see a lot of quality work in my field come out of ETH-Zurich. I want to say we don't have the problems you're talking about, but I could just be an oblivious grad student :)
I wonder how much games like Twenty Questions plays into conditioning towards this kind of approach, since the implication there tends to be that the fewer questions you ask, then the better you've done.

Well, I guess you could say that Ben is requesting Caro send the image to third parties - Ben's friends Darius, Esmre, and Fae - by linking them to the page on Caro's site that holds Aki's copywritten photo.

Also we'll assume that Ben waived rights to the photo on upload (as is common) and that he's one of those "No copyright intended" fools that also seem relatively common.
She most certainly did not. When she says "we are all born etc.", she means all groups, not all individuals. I think it is painfully obvious from the context ("cultural framework", "cultural differences"). Why would you assume that a scientist would say something false rather than assume she would say something true, especially if in order to assume as you do you have to pull her words out of context?
That's clever.

Freeshards usally went with a stop-the-world-worldsave. Which means they were infrequent and easily corrupted, leading to "timewarps".
TYT isn't really news in that they require the news to function. They comment on the other news gathering interests. So they can't really standalone.

Having dealt with lots of the "majors'" new car models lately in rentals, I doubt that they have much to bring to the table anymore. The amount of stupidity in design is astounding. I think that once Tesla scales, it will completely demolish any of the other US car companies. Toyota and Honda may be able to compete.

I'm really really hungry for competence in both manufacturing and design, which is something that is sorely lacking in the current large US car companies. Based on their current track record, Tesla has a much better chance of delivering than Ford or GM.
Thanks. I need to read this when I have the time -- my initial reaction (from skimming) is that it keeps insisting that increasing money supply does not cause inflation because of the Fed pumping money into the economy, and giving it to investors who are not spending it.

Giving it to the poor, who have a higher marginal utility for their dollars, should cause more inflation than giving it to the rich. Again, from skimming, they seem to mention the idea of it being more useful for the poor, but dance around actually addressing it directly.
I've had excellent results starting with a hybrid web app, which gradually transitions to native over the life of the project. We found that any native feature, on any platform, takes 10X as long to develop as web. So we start with mobile web, deploy as a website, and over time, replace the web app with a native app, piece-by-piece.

This works much better on Android, where you can deploy as often as you like and where the user's are used to a lower standard of ux.
It's a shame that it stops at 1860 -- since a major part of the article is about how it was not primarily North America that was the recipient of slaves, but 1860 is the beginning of the Civil War (which concerned just the US).

Also would have been nice to show 'events', such as the banning of importing slaves to the US in 1807 (you can see the boat traffic essentially stop to North America at that point).
It is, but it adds the requirement for installing and configuring another application running in the background. Before SQLite, flat files really seemed like the best option for small projects.
I don't necessarily think this is accurate. I've observed a strong and useful pattern here where posts are deconstructed in the comments in a logical fashion which I believe is, and should be seen as constructive.

Even if you come down strongly on one side or the other of a topic, it's a good discipline to look for logical weaknesses, edge cases and other potential holes in any given argument.

HN is great for this because for any given post you can typically find well thought out rebuttals which may or may not sway your opinion, but will in many cases be instructive in the very least.

Of course, the other option is to simply attack the commenter directly and fail to learn anything at all.
To be sure, in a certain income range, you'd be taking more money out of their left pocket while putting it back into their right pocket. (While simply taking more money on net from higher incomes.)

That said:
It's 1.) very hard to see how you make the numbers work and 2.) I imagine that if you told a lot of the BI advocates on this thread "Fine, I'll wave a magic wand and give everyone a BI of $10K," the reaction would be "I can't live on that!" (I also assume that someone in the US today right at the poverty line is probably eligible for certain types of assistance that BI proposals would supposedly eliminate.)
The trending "machine learning" and "deep learning" has very little to do with the actual biological process of coming up with new solutions or approaches. It has to do with a specific subset of algorithms that are well suited to solving a specific subset of problems. I think you are getting terminologies confused.

Nonsense. Psycho-babble. Got
to be total mush-brained to
have that exercise cause
"confirmation bias".

Indeed, elsewhere in this
thread are descriptions of
some quite careful work with
that puzzle with no hint
at all about "confirmation bias".
Again, that that "test"
illustrates the psycho-babble
of "confirmation bias"
is nonsense -- it illustrates
no such thing.

Maybe the "test" caused something
like "confirmation bias" in you,
although I doubt it.
In me it caused no such thing.

Instead all their efforts
at hints, distractions, I, of
course, deliberately ignored,
successfully so. Got to be
mush-brained to jump at the first
conclusion that the "rule"
was about powers of 2 or
doubling; instead, make such
a conjecture and put in some
input to test it. I did that.
I'm sure nearly everyone on
HN who tried the "test" did that.
We're just not going to jump
to a conclusion that the rule
is about powers of 2 -- no way.
"Confirmation bias"? Horse
feathers.

well its not like Netflix will be paying the tax, like all other taxes it is passed onto the consumer. Now as long as its explicit on the bill that the tax is because you live in Chicago I am just fine with it. why? because the people who live in Chicago need to vote better.

Honestly I am surprised it took this long for services delivered by out of state companies to get taxed after the fiasco with taxing purchases from Amazon and the like. The same train of thought applies, its "unfair" to local companies who cannot compete with the pricing models internet companies have. While to me there is a lot of bunk in that statement it does quite well in selling the taxes and fees.

Anytime money exchanges hands there are government agencies who can charge a fee, tax, or whatnot. What the majority fail to understand is the sheer amount of taxes they pay, both direct and embedded. Each tax carries a cost outside of its direct application in the form of the overhead at the sellers place and the taxing authority.
I don't know. I am sure there are plenty of organizations that value arrogance over humility, but I haven't been in any of them. The small companies I have been a part of value confidence, but also humility and honesty.

Another example is champagne. Sparkling wine from other regions is not technically champagne.

However, limiting the ability of the public to photograph things outdoors doesn't seem quite comparable. If a real estate company owned a significant number of buildings in a downtown area, could they then copyright the skyline of a city as the creative work of their collective architectural firms?

If you made a large installation visible from space (say, the Palm Islands in Dubai), could you claim copyright on images of Earth with high enough detail to make out your work?

Basically, what's the limit on this, because it seems like it has a pretty high ceiling for ridiculousness.

I've been programming for 17 years (started as a kid), and I also don't understand a lot of what's on HN. The simple fact is that CS is too broad for you to have expert knowledge of every area, and HN is full of articles that are deep dives to pique the interest of specialists.
