Well consider this example (idk how similar it is to the case in the article)

    @abc, 11:10  Yay football #superbowl #football
    @xyz, 11:11  abc sucks #superbowl #football
    @abc, 13:20  I just had potato soup for breakfast #soup #breakfast #goodmorning
    @xyz, 13:21  Wow I really don't like abc #soup #breakfast #goodmorning

Imagine months of that

The reason I'm allergic to "privilege" is that 9 out 10 times, "you are privileged" is followed by "and here is how we are going to fuck you over to fix that"

Supply obviously decreases, but my point is that demand decreases so much that prices fall.

Probably he doesn't want his kids to do drugs and crime and get shitty grades. Or be the victim of crime

I think it's both. Many people want to live in a dense neighborhood (hence urbanization), and if you restrict growth, you make your area unattractive to those people.

Some amount of decentralization is still nice for them I guess. The big problem they don't have to solve is an anonymous defense against a Sybil attack.

They would probably be better handpicking a group of institutions / people / orgs and have them regularly sign statements of what's been going on since last time.

I've seen this discussed before, and I think it's a good idea.

Why was it hard to deliver messages to iphone using p2p? I mean I guess they couldn't open ports and listen for messages, but that should have been true for plenty of NATed systems too right?

It is very useful to know how good the state of the art is to get a feel for if you could contribute or not. And I think that the state of the art has been exaggerated and that has discouraged contribution.

We can not just trust that these libraries are higher level esoteric magic that no mortal could understand. It is time to shine light on exactly what guarantees different libraries are providing, and how.

Some people used to claim that you should never use your own crypto code because the libraries are designed by people infinitely smarter than you who thought of everything.

That is starting to ring hollow to me.

Are you saying this will affect the prices in normal real estate markets?

Files with readable-by-all-users / writeable-by-all-users / executable-by-all users flags.

In my entirely unqualified opinion, that's a very well done redesign; it looks the same, only better.

One weird trick: Use "cliffhangers". They make it apparent that it is a coherent whole

Hey! What a show last night! Pretty sure my ears will be ringing for the

next week. lol. It was great meeting you. I’m surprised we hadn’t met before; we have

so many mutual friends. We should hangout. Free on Saturday? I know a great

coffee shop near Chinatown that has a killer view.

I would not rely on wikipedia for politically controversial information.

I think his argument goes as follows. If you have N numbers in memory, then you have to use pointers of size log N bits. Because pointers use the same number of bits as numbers, this means that the numbers have to be log N bits. Because radix sort does one O(N) pass per bit, this means that total time will be O(NlogN).

If we sort numbers of a fixed, known, size w', that is independent of machine word size w, then the argument breaks.

Hmm true, can see how that could lead to a biased impression

Looking through the comment section, it seems you get fuzzies out it, but not the majority of people.

For the sake of argument I will state the efficient market interpretation: What we call the business cycle is actually just good and bad runs in a series of independent random events. I don't really believe it, but would nevertheless enjoy it if you argued against that position.

They don't necessarily use the same budget. The compressor can come prepackaged or be downloaded from a fast connection, and then be used when you have poor mobile internet.

It only takes 226 bits of entropy if all shuffles should be equally likely. If one shuffle has probability sufficiently close to 1, and the rest are equally likely, you could make do with less than a bit of entropy.

I previously made a toy VM where a program consisted of a matrix, rows corresponded to instruction slot, and then the values in that row were probabilities for different instructions. This means probability of emitting a specific output is differentiable in the probabilities, which can then be learned.

Didn't get very good results though.

It's 2016. Cameras are a thing. Why are blindspots still legal?

It doesn't make a difference for your results, but it's

    E = 0.5 mv^2

I disagree with most of his changes, but limiting line width is such a big improvement it wins out over the previous one. First page ever to inspire me to use custom CSS for HN.

Imagining possible futures can help guide our decisions.

I prefer the version you linked to, as it has taken trominos criticism into account https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1323111

Only your linked version is correct.

Why is reducing teen pregnancy good?

Let's say you have a trapping division on the actual CPU you run on. And let's say the virtual machine specifies that division doesn't trap. Then the compiler has to insert checks for invalid inputs to prevent trapping from happening. Those checks may degrade performance.

Despite the URL, the article text explains that the store actually doesn't sell them. They only buy more.
