>Biology is non-toxic. Biology is efficient. Biology is beautiful. Biology is technology.

I have a huge problem, with especially the first two. Biology can be very toxic. Cobra snake venom is a product of biology. Cancer is a product of biology. Both can have horrific consequences for humans. Biology is not necessarily efficient. Take a look at pregnancy and birth and infancy. Before modern medicine and birth control, a woman could give birth to 10 children, only to have to bury the majority of them.

The danger with this kind of idealization of nature is that it encourages a kind of laissez faire. If we could only leave nature alone, we would all be fine. The ice age that almost wiped out humanity was natural. Hurricanes are natural and occurred even before man made warming. Nature is scary. We need each other and technology to figure out how to take advantage of the good parts of nature, while controlling its badness. Human intervention can be better than the natural course.
I am confused. I thought "permissive change" referred to the ability of a device maker to avoid having to do a full fcc recertification when making changes to their device (hardware or firmware) that did not affect rf emissions
Currently the charts go back to either: the most recent IPO, or 1 year from today.

We're working on supporting multiple time scales. Had to first do some refactoring on the backend to make this quick but it's in place now.

We've had a few hiccups with the confirmation notifications. The list seems correct though, and we'll reach out directly with invites. Thanks for the heads up.
The Chinese government is willing to spend what it takes to win and this is the reason why they will win. The US government is way too reluctant to spend in this regard. The Chinese government is investing hundreds of billions in artificial intelligence, hundreds of billions more in renewables, and so on. I don't see Congress giving a blank check to scientists and engineers, like China does.
Funny - I always used to use less, until this popped up on HN:

Now I mostly use vi.
From my experience with pharmacy robots (my wife owns a Pharmacy, their group have just decommissioned their expensive robot because it doesn't work):

It almost certainly put 38.5 pills per day in a bottle. At which point the dispensing Pharmacist or Assistant should have started asking questions.

Doctors -up these kind of things all the time; around 5% of prescriptions based on the very scientific measurement of the relative size of the good/bad stacks on my wife's desk.
I imagine if they opened a Bay Area office they wouldn't have a problem.
Author here, glad people found it interesting. If you're curious about anything, or want to tell me I'm wrong, I'd like to hear it.
The current configuration is a cluster:

Jail the addict.

Protect the profits.

Don’t compensate the victim of theft.

That’s a recipe for rinse and repeat ad nauseum.
Our current architecture is here: https://github.com/OpenRefine/OpenRefine/wiki/Architecture

YES! We want users to process much larger data sets also! We have started experiments with using Apache Spark on the backend where the hope is that we can help users with much larger datasets. This work is being funded by CZI and you can read the grant proposal here: http://openrefine.org/blog/2019/11/14/czi-eoss.html
Let's see how this is going to play out!

https://thesoundingline.com/do-not-allow-the-fed-to-buy-corp...

> Which companies will the Fed give free money to? Which companies will they allow to fail? How low should corporate borrowing costs be and for which companies? How much debt should they allow each company to carry? What if companies issue bonds to buyout competitors? What if a company defaults on the Fed? The Fed can’t answer any of these questions. That won’t stop them from showering America’s largest and most indebted companies with free cash
Seats move around and are replaced all the time. This is how legroom keeps shrinking.
I almost hyperventilated myself before I got to the "hold your lungs empty" part; I should have known better than just to try it on a whim.
no, but if the plane is not fitted with restraints and the cargo shifts, it's game over.
If that was the case, wouldn't there be rebuttals instead of straight downvotes?
Zoom's dark pattern is to obscure that every online meeting can be joined from the browser. They really hide this in order to install software on the client machine, which has been susceptible to bugs in the past.

https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/214629443

I've had no problems from the browser, although I think on some platforms they suggest (or require?) Chrome over Firefox.
I find it interesting that both Go and Rust, in practice, step on one of their relative foundational concepts. (2010: https://blog.golang.org/codelab-share, for Go, and I suppose don't need to cite "safe system code" for Rust).

For example, Go community could have stuck to their guns about building server side concurrent code only using channels and value objects, performance impact be damned, and we would not have high performance server code written in Go (using locks and shared memory). And as OP points out, "system level" code written in Rust likely will have (possibly opaque) unsafe code segments.

Intent here isn't to rag on either language. It's more musing out loud about the impact of conceptual consistency in course of development on product success: is it a (practical) mistake to insist on it? Based on Go and Rust teams' decisions to date, it seems it pays to be pragmatic. (Or are we simply throwing the towel in too early?)
I'd argue this is true for most programming paradigms, and even some design processes. There's a lot of "draw the rest of the fucking owl" mindset when it comes to structuring and organizing code.

I guess it's a little easier with OOP, but it isn't very clear to me how "polymorphism" helps me open a garage door, or even achieves it's stated goals. I guess I can at least understand that now I can open any door by calling door.open() or something. Of course it gets much worse when you graduate and people tell you OPP is overhyped, there's too much abstraction here. Then you think "I thought the abstraction was good". Don't just create a garage door, create a door factory! Then you realize you don't have a good defense, and that you don't understand as much as you thought. You were never taught to design programs pragmatically. You just have to figure that part out on your own.

I can understand how mutable state causes problems and would be a good thing to avoid where possible. There's really not much needed to convince even a moderately experienced programmer, of the power of pure functions. It doesn't feel that far off from the OOP example.
While this does not answer your question, which I find interesting, it seems pretty sensible that you'd want to explore this option even if you are planting lots of trees. Doubly so if it's viable as a business venture, since that's a strong signal that it's cost effective.

As jsantos511 said many times, we need more shots on goal!
Yes, it is. I don't think that you should be cancelled for being a communist, a nazi, a black nationalist or whatever, simply for holding such opinions. Really outrageous thing to say, I know.
Aside from the political stuff, this illustrates how a company can be reliant on another vendor. AWS was a single point of failure for Parler (along with a few other services like domain registration).

For a one man show in a garage (or a very early stage startup), it's probably okay to focus on features and not backend resiliency. But by the time you have a board of directors, someone should have asked how they would handle losing a core service. Especially in this case someone should have seen that their business was high risk- either explicitly because of their plan/model, or incidentally because of the crowd they attracted.

Maybe Parler had a plan for some things, but they clearly weren't ready for a setback at this level. I wonder how prepared other companies are for losses/denial of service like this. Could Ford's supply chain weather a vendor dropping out? Could Kellogg's cereal?
"begs the question" is another phrase whose meaning is now in the uncertain zone, by the same process.
I am curious if a Pine64 board can be used as a pfsense router for home office use. Their hardware looks really neat.
I was originally thinking along the same lines; this question is quite interesting, to see what kind of response it might elicit. However, after quickly mulling it over, the really objectionable part is that it presupposes that sending in the military is a good idea. Something that an impressionable, albeit privileged, 13-year-old may take to heart.

It could be turned into a good question quite easily: ask how you might deal with the situation, before you get to the nuclear option, and then how/if you could justify it morally.
EV batteries with 2-5 times the energy density would completely change the game. Imagine a car with a 900 - 2300 km range on a single charge.

The cost savings would immediately solve the business case around renewable energy storage, too.
IPv4/6 support is a big one (but not something new, many similar services have that also)
I'd go work somewhere else and here is why:

You can learn anywhere, why work with a bunch of people who are not going to build you up and encourage you to improve yourself and by extension, the team/project. What are you really getting from these guys if it's "every man for himself" anyways?

1. Forget that, be confident. Just focus on improving yourself and on things that can make you better at your job.

2. No. I expect my junior guys to learn on their own but am always willing to step in and provide guidance.

3. There can be some rough people in IT. If they're rotten they are probably less confident than you think they are, probably more so than you, but don't want you to realize it.

Lastly, I can tell you from experience, if you don't think it's worth it, it's not. There are fun jobs out there, go and get one.
Their Alpha certs ( the type being provided in this promotion ) expire after one year.

It's not clear from their documentation whether your free single-domain cert will be renewed for free after that, so worth checking before rushing in.
It'd be playing semantics, "terrorism" seems to mean something different to each person that applies it anyway.
According to https://www.eurodns.com/ssl-certificate-faq/#whatisincluded

"For an additional fee you can add a wildcard to the Alpha SSL certificate meaning that the certificate can be used on an unlimited number of subdomains and servers. The wildcard option allows for additional subdomains or servers to be added in the future."

... so no wildcards for free. fyi.
if you're suffering, just move on to a more friendly place.
All I can say to that is that you modt likely do know. Given from persinal expeeience, not only has intelligence demonstrated itself to me in the form of concise communication but also at a level best expressed in high overview. And being able to bring up the details as you go from there. In essence I would be focused on refining a particular area of your intelligence that you'd want to focus on. And learn how to best iterate struggle and the understanding in the back of your mind.
Beyond breathing, it's also known that the guy commanded a descent into the ground in a way that's basically impossible to do by accident. That pretty much rules out any sort of health problem (besides the mental kind).
>Are you trying to argue that Times New Roman is not up to that task?

No.

>I don't see how all this discussion of the sign's purpose makes any difference to the fact that it looks stupid.

It only looks stupid to a tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny minority of people who seem to feel as though they should devote a significant portion of their time reminding the rest of the world that they're stupid.

>Similarly, somebody might be wearing a pair of women's granny panties on his head because his ears get cold, but that does not explain why he would do such a thing when there are earmuffs, scarves and hats readily available.

This isn't even remotely similar and you know it. Using Comic Sans instead of Times is more like using a salad fork to eat your steak.
That is almost certainly not what this is about. It's just a common accusation in lawsuits, so Microsoft is just covering its ass. This is the same reason why a lot of Hollywood studios will return spec scripts unopened — if they even open a package from somebody who hasn't signed an agreement like the one MS presents here, they're in danger of getting sued for big bucks.
I still have a Yahoo email address that I use whenever I don't want to give away my real email address.
I'm not a web developer, so I can't really offer any feedback, but I'll say this:

I love the designs. They're quirky, and different. Too many WP themes these days are templates of templates. At least these have some personality.
Why did eBay buy PayPal, when it had spent a lot of money creating it's own alternative?

Sometimes the outside party just built a better solution, and it makes sense to get a whole company, lots of good staff, good PR and new products in one simple purchase.

As long as the return on investment is as-good or better than the ROI of building it yourself, then it's a win in terms of time factor alone.
The use of the ternary operator for such things as:
String a = (b == null) ? "" : b;

is okay with me, at least, when I'm working in languages other than C#, where it's just:
string a = b ?? "";

I also use it within other operations, like:
var output = string.Format("Something {0} something {1}",
string1.Length > 0 ? string1 : "N/A",
string2.Length > 0 ? string2 : "whoops");

My general rule of thumb is, if breaking the ternary operation into multiple lines will make it more readable, then you're going too far with the ternary operator.

Afghanistan has few mainstream Arabs and very few Africans.

Look to the Philippines if you want an example of what good can eventually come from U.S. occupation of a fractious country. And, unlike the Philippines, Afghanistan is not an archipelago whose thousands of islands practically define the concept of obnoxious-natural-barrier.

The Chinese influence bodes well too. China practices fair and even-handed oppression, rather than trying to exterminate the One True Enemy.
great idea

but also needs to deploy tentacles and scary sound effects
it depends, it would certainly act as a deterrent for first time thieves/incompetent crooks or until the system become commonplace. But as soon as some guys work out how to operate despite it, it starts to work to their advantage. The cameras become useless, and the police can't enter the premises until the smoke subsides. Clever crooks might be able to use that time to sneak out uncovered exits, or to even get into ambush positions for police who may be expecting the place to be empty. (of course they shouldn't).

I guess time and youtube videos will tell.
An interesting idea, but in this video it just spooked the burglar enough to send them running. How much of an effect would there be if they decided to just grab some things and feel their way out.

I suppose it would limit the time someone could feasibly spend stealing, and it does seem to make profitable reentry difficult. But I suspect the video overstates the benefits.
You can easily use any checkered board as a binary calculator. I'm quite convinced that all the games like chess started life as things to do on your calculator when you were bored.
So change it to "Why Silicon Valley may have a hard time beating Hollywood" or something like that if you really want to be that anal about accurate summarization. But the current title tells me absolutely nothing about what the article is actually about.
I almost gave up also - until I scrolled down to Turn Right Past The Header - then scrolled back up :)

Also reload the page with the javascript console on.
The overwhelming majority of Hollywood movies are terrible, shallow stories with formulaic development that are designed to grab money from specific demographics. There is hardly anything artistic left.

This argument is not necessarily in conflict with what you quoted.
This is rather silly isn't it ? I hardly think you can enforce good culture with negative operant conditioning.

Why is it that Microsoft's silly ranking system is much criticized, while this is one is being applauded ?
My mirrorless shots tend to nail exposure and composition more often than DSLR. I've been waiting almost 14 years for the compact cameras to finally get comparable sensors and interchangeable lenses.
Thanks Jason! Great insights in your post. Great read for sure.
Uhh... when was the last time you shipped software with source code or unstripped binaries? Might as well put up a white flag at that point.
If you don't know anyone who can code already, you might be better off learning to code.

Rather than spending the next 6 months trying to impress some iOS dev enough for them to give you the time of day, spend that time learning a valuable skill.
If you have the funds, just outsource it.

6 months seems like an awful long time to get this company started, I'm interested in finding a programmer who we can collaborate with, I'm more of the Business guy, where he/she can be the Programmer, if you know what I mean.
Check out these new features amazon is adding to route 53 (it's dns hosting service):

It's basically adding the ability to specify round robin and different weights to elastic load balancing groups. That should make it easier to have multiple elastic load balancing groups in different regions.
But on the other hand, if we instead choose licences and the GPL as Malcolm X, then there definitely is a MLK in BSD.

Being pretty deep in the US industrial healthcare complex it's not surprising to see the Haven partners break off on their own after three years. I would suggest this reflects the complexity of our current healthcare delivery system and also the misalignment between the shorter technology cycles and the far longer cycles of foundational changes in healthcare. Would Haven have succeed with more time? I would say the actual question was what could Haven achieved in only three years?

Have to admit this is sad news as the promise of Haven was a possibly significant challenge to the current, awful, state of healthcare in the US and offer a commercial single-payer solution that would avoid the entrenched political agendas driving the public option discussion.

Lastly, I feel Amazon missed a huge opportunity here with their massive technical capability combined with the insurance and financial capabilities of their partners. Creating a vertical integrated health system isn't new, but the capabilities of Haven were significant. Sadly, seems like the Amazon Health strategy was limited.
It's not, but it showed that we can get a magnitude better results by adding a magnitude more data.

To be honest, it's not where I'd like to see efforts in the field go.

Not because I'm afraid of AI taking over, but because I'd rather have humans recreate something comparable to a human brain (functionality wise).

angersock mentioned sexuality specifically rather than non-sexual relationships. Getting laid doesn't help as much with non-sexual relationships and it doesn't help as much with non-sexual aspect of human beings. For those, I still agree with the advice they should be out interacting with other people instead of reading books, which means interacting with relatives, elders and generally people around you.
i wasn't taking issue with exchangel.co, per se. i was taking issue with the responses to it on HN. "Best idea ever!" "You should be able to short!" "How about an 'Index Fund' version!" "I wan't to make money and pretend I know investing!"

App Academy claims on their homepage that SF graduates receive an average salary of $100,000. So unless they're blatantly lying or fudging the statistics somehow, it's not BS.

there are situations where percentage is misleading.

10% of people start a startup today,
5% 5 years ago.

20% of young people start today ,
30% 5 years ago.

chance of a young person starting today?
2%,
5 years ago?
1.5%
.
therefore young people are more likely to start a startup today than 5 years ago

That's a fairly compelling argument, but I definitely have had times where I wished for a numpad on my Macbook, mainly so that I could play games that required them (I went through a few months where I played through several traditional roguelikes, and this isn't uncommon in that genre, though vikeys is more common and far better IMO).
