You are thinking from the perspective of someone from wealth...

That's quite a feat, given that I'm not from wealth at all. I've probably got more money than anyone else in my family and I've earned it mainly from salaried employment and personal investments.

The opportunity costs you've described apply equally well to someone who came from wealth - resume gap, time spent not working, no job, etc.

I'm not disputing that startup capital from family would be helpful. I'm disputing the article's implication that the amounts of capital needed are unavailable to regular people, or that only people from wealth can start a business.

Stack overflow is great because its easy to find and index, and easy to figure out which posts might be relevant to someone looking for answers via a search engine.

Blogs are generally not as accessible. Something I put on SO or Reddit is likely to get a lot more attention than something I put on my personal blog.
I may not like the idea of the site, but it wasn't until I started seeings ads for it, that I started hoping for its downfall.

My wish was granted!
It would be great if it did.

I heard somewhere that the TypeScript team were also looking at outputting closure annotation to help the closure compiler optimize TS output.
Wow. Speaks from my heart to be honest. I'm a PR guy and had a few successes over the last months and years. One example: I helped an unknown startup with their launch and we reached 500 million people in one month on social media with no budget.

I know that some of these stories and pitches would be useful for others, but I always end up thinking: 'Meh, everyone knows that.' or as a non-native speaker 'Urgh, this is a really clumsy description. My english sucks."

I'm just thinking about making this post my 'new tab' page in Chrome.

I feel the exact opposite. Moral justice is on the side of the hackers. This website, and all the others like it, only exist to profit while helping people destroy their own lives, in addition their loved ones' lives.

Zero sympathy. I have zero sympathy for both this site and for the users whose information was stolen. You all deserve it, for being selfish, amoral animals.

The article did address that - the simulated "15% increase in traffic volume" results from adding either an additional 2,000 taxis OR the equivalent 80,000 private cars.

You may think that it's more socially optimal to have the taxi instead of the equivalent 40 private vehicles, of course. This is just speaking strictly in terms of congestion.
> I'm pretty confident that the people running the site are contributing to net misery in the world.

To be perfectly, bluntly clear- There isn't actually any suffering (and in some cases, still almost none) until the secret gets out.

By that definition (which to me is entirely obvious, but clearly not to others), OUTING all of these people is what will cause tremendous suffering.

I don't agree with these blanket "everyone who does this is bad" statements. (I think there's a lot of people who have been cheated on out there and their latent scorn always comes out in these things. Rationality goes out the window when personal feelings are involved.) It's awfully judgmental and sandblasts out all the fine details. What of the man who wants to stay married to his invalid wife but still needs to "get off" at times, and neither wants to break her heart nor can he longer function rationally without? What of the good husband and father who is hiding his bi-ness and therefore takes a man now and then on the side? (What of the woman in the same position?) What of the member of the church demanding absolute celibacy who has invested his life into it but realizes he simply can't function without sexual human contact now and then?

Do you seriously expect the amount of upheaval that would result from "outing everyone" to be LESS pain overall than the current situation?

4 spaces and you can get code styling:

Like this

Or rather

outer: for (var i = 0, j = 0; i < nlen; i++) {
var nch = needle.charCodeAt(i);
while (j < hlen) {
if (haystack.charCodeAt(j++) === nch) {
continue outer;
}
}
return false;
}
That seems unusually optimistic to me. Considering how much warfare human society has had and now that we have nuclear weapons and the endless brinkmanship of them, it seems the reasonable view here is that intelligent species probably just destroy themselves after a certain level of development. There is no Federation or aliens visiting because societies don't like that long due to a self-inflicted extinction event.

Let's remember that Castro was begging the Soviets for a nuclear strike against the US and Khrushchev had to fight off a Politburo that wanted nuclear war during the crisis.

I can't see any reason why this wouldn't happen. Bigger guns means bigger consquences and eventually you'll have a war with the biggest guns - nukes or biological or grey goo or whatever and life will end. Funny how the most obvious answer is almost the most horrifying, thus all the silly suggestions about aliens becoming VR addicts or trans-dimensional supermen or whatever.

Indeed; you'd think that, had it been done with intent to extort users or otherwise make prolonged use of the stolen information, they wouldn't have been so obvious about having broken in to begin with.
This is actually not true. The two languages are incredibly similar but nevertheless quite different. Quite more so than American and British English. They are different to the point where many young Czechs do not actually understand Slovak very well (well, this is a bit exaggerated, however I was surprised by kids that were just staring at me until I started speaking in Czech when asking for directions). Slovak people tend to speak Czech somewhat better because they are (or at least were) exposed to the language more. At least in my time no movies, books etc. were translated to Slovak.

Czech and Slovak have also quite a lot of differences in grammar (for example Czech have one more case in their declination system).
The article is internally inconsistent.

It's certainly true that you can choose not to have the axiom of infinity, and it's certainly true that most mathematics that does not directly invoke of use infinity is subsequently possible, and consistent with the usual mathematics.

However, the author having said that it's a choice, s/he then goes on to say ...

So, although it is an axiom of mathematics, the belief in
infinity is not a purely aesthetic choice. If you say you
believe in infinity, say the understand it, say you can
manipulate it and do mathematics with it - it isn't true.
It can't be imagined, it can't be realized, it can't be
used in mathematics - only finite approximations can.

You cannot imagine infinity, use infinity, describe, or
realized infinity. Not only does infinity not exist - it
cannot exist - not even in your imagination.

The argument is that the author doesn't like some of the consequences, and so chooses to reject them. That's fair enough, although it feels to me a little like sticking your fingers in your ears and singing "La la la la ..." Calculus becomes really awkward without infinity, and personally, declaring that there's no such thing as a set that contains all natural numbers just seems unnatural and perverse.

But you can do that. What you can't do is have it both ways. You can't declare it to be a choice, and then declare that it's impossible.

Standard mathematics makes the choice to have the axiom of infinity, and part of standard mathematics is exploring the consequences of that choice. The author may choose to be a finitist[0] and that's fair enough. Just don't declare that the alternate choice is somehow wrong.

Why Certifications Are Necessary
Have I been on sites where I wished zoom was enabled? Yes

Have I been on sites where I wished zoom was DISabled? Yes

The point is, I design my stuff so it feels like a native app. I design my stuff so it is as accessible as the apps that came with the device. Zooming is a feature added to mobile browsers so mobile users have a fallback to view websites that dont support mobile screen sizes, but designing websites for mobile intentionally to make use of a fallback for non-mobile support isn't using the mobile device to its fullest potential?

Without zooming, how do you all use things on your phones that ARENT websites? They don't zoom either...

If I enable zooming for users, every tap on every mobile device is going to get slower for every user. Is that in the interest of better UI?

Do you think users tap more, or zoom more when using web apps?

Would you rather fill out a desktop Credit Card subscription form by zooming and panning around, or using a form designed to be input with a thumb where all of the fields are fit to the screen width?

I can tell you right now, if I designed our sites like some of these HN commenters want it would be comfy for them to browse and we would lose thousands of dollars revenue. As others have noticed, there are browsers that have a zoom override, as well as bookmarklets and other ways you can bypass the no-zoom thing if you're a mobile user with special needs or who likes zooming. YOU can enabled that device-wide for yourself if that's how you like it, but it doesn't make sense for all projects to be built the same way when the goals and intended support for projects varies widely.
How so? I'd appreciate you expanding on it, as well as responding to the existence of these:

Are there any hosting providers that will truly accomodate raw disk (filesystem: ffs, etc.) images as opposed to proprietary image or container formats (Amazon's, VMWare's, etc.), without having jump through numerous hoops?

For the sake of example, say I already have my system built and configured just the way I like it, as a "raw" ffs image file. And FWIW the kernel on that image is multiboot compatible and can run as a Xen guest.

I also have my own non-GRUB bootloader. But I realize that it may not be feasible for the hosting provider to let me use it.
How Much Did You Make at Your Last Job?
Gonna give you guys a few quick blurbs.

First, a chief of police was interviewed on CBS News a while back. He said there are thousands upon thousands of police interactions with citizens every day but all anyone ever hears about is the one bad one that happened one time.

Second, and this might sound off-topic but I hope you get my point. I was helping a guy move, a few months back, along with one of his friends who's a rookie cop. This took place over several days. Each day, we rode in a truck a coule of miles and, along the way, he would occasionally say, "Expired plates. Expired plates." cause we couldn't go a mile without him finding one. And not just by a month or so but, in one case it was almost a year.

Which brought up racial profiling, as you could imagine. He said, "There is no race indicator on a radar gun." And "When I see something go wrong and I light it up, I can't tell who I'm pulling over, much less what race they are, until I get out of the car. And I don't care. You could look at my ticketing and arrests for the few months I've been on the job and say I do racial profiling cause most of them are [insert what you know it is] cause, from what I can tell, most of them do the things that get them tickets or arrested and put in jail."

I think of that every time I see an article, here on HN, and the comments by people trying to blame the cops for everything as if they're against us.

EDIT: As I pointed out, right away, the first two commenters entirely missed my point.
I agree that outing these people will cause tremendous suffering. I'm not advocating for it. And I didn't make any blanket "everyone who does this is bad" statements -- in fact, I specifically disclaimed the opposite.

Your style of marriage, your religion and what drugs you take are all victimless crimes. Cheating on your spouse definitely has a victim which is why it's much more of an issue than the others you've listed.

Most liberals are not anti state, but pro freedom as long as it doesn't affect anyone else's life.
And this is why a democracy needs independent checks and balances at every level.
I agree that overconfidence is harmful, and likely the most harmful part of the human psyche. Some examples: Nazis, slavery (racism in general), communism, societal misogyny (exists in every society of any size), LGBT hate, religious hate, and really any type of bigotry or hate based on incomplete, inaccurate information. In every single one of these cases, the perpetrators of the atrocity are overconfident in their ability to judge others' true nature and don't realize that they are wrong. I think this is the type of overconfidence that is most harmful and they type that Kahneman is referring to.
Google Cloud Source Repositories vs. GitHub vs. Bitbucket – Toptal
It sounded like the meetings and rigid work hours were troublesome, but the main thing was the boss's constant insults. That's not professional behavior, and should absolutely have been brought to HR's attention. (It makes me thankful to always have had such good bosses.)

I agree, the author could have done many things better. There has to have been a way out which would have preserved a good professional relationship with coworkers and his recruiter. It's easy to see, though, how one might be so disheartened by the organization's (perceived) failure to recognize such toxic behavior by a manager, and so just feel like walking away was the best thing to do.

Any non-trivial language will have an ugly layer that the language designers couldn't quite get rid of.

Plus, unless your language is dead, it will continue to evolve and add new features that you will have no knowledge of unless you make an effort to absorb them.

This doesn't help to solve the original problem of avoiding the copy. Your calls to

big_object_ptr.reset(...)

will cause the BigObject copy constructor to be called. The object pointed to by unique_ptr does not have the same storage as the objects "foo" and "bar". At the very least, you need to do

big_object_ptr.reset(std::move(foo));

which will cause foo to be moved into the unique_ptr's storage.

In code like this, you should just use make_unique, in which case the BigObject is constructed in place, and unique_ptr can be RVO'ed:

if (...) {
return make_unique<BigObject>(...);
} else ...

I mean I could take the source code to any hacking tool, incorporate that into a sci-fi story with a hacker who types it on the screen, at which point the US government would have to prevent me from publishing a fiction story - something that must clearly violate the US constitution.
that's an easy question... yes and no. You need them because many things are not available without one and you don't need them because anything can be done without one if the proper native applications exist... but that doesn't mean that these apps should or should not be built...

If the web would be served in a more structured way, we could have both. It's a pretty mess right now.
