> This is where we would hope that the Internet would come in. After all, that’s the promise of the digital age, isn’t it? Unlimited access to a sea of information. Anyone can learn anything. Underfunded schools are a moot point, because everyone can pull themselves up by their bootstraps with a wireless connection, and fix any stubborn points of ignorance they might have — whether that be advanced algebra or racism.

Sadly you won't find this on popular sites like Facebook. Learning is all but popular.
The interesting thing is that they refer to NIC vendors all the time - as if that feature is integrated with the ethernet controller (plus some help of the chipset to keep it alive when everything else is off).

However AMD has its own share of extra processors within the CPU and chipset, of which we (at coreboot) know of at least two: SMU and IMC. The firmware for both is still measured in kilobytes, and they seem to have limited access to hardware resources. (for SMU, see http://media.ccc.de/browse/congress/2014/31c3_-_6103_-_en_-_...)

Newer chipsets (than kaveri/kabini) come with TrustZone (that ARM stuff) and a "Platform Security Processor", which indicates that there's at least one new processor, likely ARM based.
- Develop a habit of healthiness with less sugar

- Somehow be a good brother, son and boyfriend while I work excessive hours

- Develop an exceptional enterprise app
It's both actually.

To clarify, while there is more "good" TV now, through a mainstream view of any platform it really does all look like the same damn crap all over the place.
If you use an apple tv, then all you want of your tv is to be a dumb hdmi display
Well it's only fair.
This is one of those rare times I agree with facebook. Why is this Facebook's problem? Sounds like Brazil should be enforcing their laws better. Facebook hosts for-sale postings, how reasonable is it for them to vet every post against scams and illegality?
Makes you wonder what kind of headline is acceptable, when one abbreviated solely from the quotes of experts is not.
They did: https://abc11.com/griddy-gridy-texas-power-bills-what-is-ene...

They couldn't.

Either people still got hit by massive bills (thousands or tens of thousands of dollars), or they cut usage (voluntarily or otherwise) and froze to death or poisoned themselves trying not to.

Municipal water and sewerage perations couldn't function. Pipes froze and burst. Massive damage precipitated by underprovisioning, risk-shifting to the most vulnerable, and a gamble that lost.

Life ain't textbook neat.
> unnecessary to the economy

I don't think that's the message of UBI. While one could view it somewhat as a charitable policy, with a more cold outlook it's a good policy as a mechanism to make free-market capitalism function more robustly. Think of it like re-balancing your portfolio. Some people don't like calling humans capital or assets, saying that's cold-hearted. If you don't mind that word choice, then it's relatively easy to explain UBI as promoting the long-term health of the economy. Contrary to the message of "unnecessary to the economy," UBI is important precisely because the recipients are critical to the health of the economy.

> assuming it will work for everyone

I don't think most people think it will work for everyone. Almost no policy is perfect.

> It’d surely be hard to build a democracy on such a divide

Yes, that's what people were discovering in the late 19th century and early 20th century, and why many capitalist democracies began adopting anti-trust laws and social programs. For example, the Sherman Antitrust Act and the Social Security Act in the US. I expect that UBI will have the opposite effect that you expect, helping alleviate inequality.

> I don’t know about the 2020 unemployment benefits as I don’t live in the US.

They turned out to be a good policy. Despite fears that people would choose to not work, because they were receiving more money to stay at home, wages did not rise and job openings did not spike. On average. Some differences across industries and locations, of course.
I think it's reasonable to some but not to mom and pop types. Sure a big business could absorb that but not a family.
My 2c about wasm so far:

I've tried go, rust, c/cpp, webassembly.

go - big bundle sizes because of gc I am guessing, idk.

c/cpp - I haven't touched c/cpp in a really really long time, but probably the other really good fit.

rust - I see rust as the successor to what I would've used c/cpp for, but not sure if rust ecosystem is still fully there.
Last time, I had some weird issues with wasm-bindgen.

AssemblyScript(AS) - Something I really like and what I am most comfortable with now that I've been doing java/c#/ts for so long now. Also it's geared towards wasm which is nice. It's my favorite solution, but I don't really get it like I get the other solutions because everything else is an "actual language" that's used for other things. I am really not sure what the strict ts stuff is about, the devil is in the details, and this is getting way too high level.

c# - Maybe good if someone is heavily invested in .net.

At the end of the day, these wasm blobs are probably for heavy tasks like functions with a lot of loops, not full systems, so any simple solution would probably work. It's why I like AS (or even cpp), but sometimes these tasks require some niche external libraries in which case rust would be probably be the best option.
The author of any piece should be permitted a certain set of assumptions about their audience.

I think as long as a term has a relatively unambiguous Google result (which is true in this case), it’s fair game to be used in public texts.
Your run of the mill journalist is a dying breed that's viewed as a cost center for the publisher and is not getting the soapbox.

Newspapers have long past turned into media, news is commodified and the value add of the news outlet is opinion. It is inevitable that publishers turn to opinion in an age where facts are free, widely disseminated, and not subject to copyright.

The line between reporting facts and stating opinions has been blurred so much that you've seen revolts in journalism schools (e.g. ASU's Walter Cronkite school) to oust deans that discourage confessional style opinion journalism as they vainly advocate for professionality and objectivity over activism. Activism and emotion is what generates clicks as younger reporters view themselves as crusaders "standing up" for justice in a world of iniquity rather than delivering information about events to the public. The public already can access all the information they need whenever they want. There just isn't that much room for value add in the current age of ubiquitous information.
"She had zero real impact" -- read just the first paragraph of the linked article and dare to say that again.
No, but it's an example of a perfect linkbait.
Thanks, that looks like a good group.
Do you think Apple's walled approach to iOS apps and content on iOS platforms is more honorable than Microsoft's open development initiative? (i.e. letting anyone write Windows applications).

To me, their decision to prevent iOS apps from getting content outside of its walled garden (and bypass the 30% fee) is much more anti-competitive than whatever Microsoft did.

I don't know if anyone downvoted you (I didn't). I just wanted to hear your opinion. I'd like to hear what you mean by 'shady', and what in particular about Microsoft makes it shadier.
Peepcode is awesome. This is from the 'play by play' series, which is probably one of the only places you can get to watch an expert work.

The other topical videos are great as well. It must be an incredible amount of work that goes into scripting, programming, recording and editing them and the result is a really high quality learning tool.

I prefer to watch them twice through. Once to just soak it up in one pass, and a second time to dig in and play around with things as the video progresses. They are well bookmarked as well, so you can skip ahead or back to a specific section easily.

Every one of them that I've purchased has been well worth the money. I've purchased tons of books over the years that were a huge disappointment and cost way more. You can't go wrong with a PeepCode.
I'm not too worried - we'll see in 10 years who still exists :)
Any time any concept is reduced to a pithy sentence it will be appropriated by people to use as an agenda.

Something about these types of clever sayings shortcuts our brains. People use that fact to take advantage.

They both make dick moves every day and get soundly rewarded for doing so.
I see that people are complaining it's too little, too late. But c'mon, there's a certain amount of appreciation due, isn't there?
I don’t think most of them are fascist or extremely dumb.

People generally don’t like to change their minds on deeply held beliefs, and all the falsehoods Trump and Qanon are spreading have become deeply held beliefs for many of those people.

They end up supporting fascists but they won’t realise it until too late.
I agree. It would be very dangerous if people in charge, say, prohibited Apple (a private company) from removing Parler. Thankfully, the 1st amendment is still in power and Apple is free to express itself as it sees fit.

No surprising news but I learned about https://signalstickers.com/
We're so used to communicating online that we can't even see how absurdly powerful the tools at our disposal actually are. Posting on social media isn't like chatting with your friends at the bar - it's like shouting into a colossal, ear-shatteringly loud megaphone aimed directly into the ears of billions of people. A system like that probably shouldn't even exist, let alone be put in the hands of every person above the age of thirteen [1].

You wouldn't say I was being censored because MSNBC decided to air Morning Joe instead of my hour-long documentary about how the moon landing is fake. They simply aren't obligated to grant me the power of their massive communications network if they don't like my content. In what I can only call a massive failure of judgment, Twitter, Facebook etc. have outsourced their editorial decision-making to algorithms designed to maximize their profit.

This is not the same as making speech a crime. You still have the right to speak your mind, with your own voice, on any street corner you want. You can even print out fliers if you can convince anyone to take them from you. That was true before Facebook, and it will be true after they're gone. Now if the government tries to threaten this form of communication, I'll be right there with you protesting.

Yes, it is the world we live in, and have pretty much always lived in. Private companies have been deciding who gets "air time" ever since we had radio or TV. And with the printing press, it's always been private companies deciding who gets airtime.
FYI, the oft-quoted 4% figure was derived using a 30 year retirement time horizon [1]. Using longer time horizons will lower that number.

You can't really negotiate effectively unless you are willing to lose the opportunity.

Your friend might be aware that she has fewer opportunities and therefore be less willing to take this risk.
Such considerations might be overkill for flickr/posterous but that does leave your "secret" email address in the logs of every smtp relay along the way. Its sort of equivalent to putting a password in a URL.
Oh yeah, that's why the phrase "irreducibly complex" popped into my mind. Whoops.

Just to be clear, I definitely wasn't referring to the intelligent design argument. I meant the phrase strictly in the "make everything as simple as possible, but no simpler" sense. The simplest possible correct explanation of some things is still extremely complicated.
Perhaps you can't, but who cares? If people (and therefore groups of them as corporations) were left free to innovate and produce, there wouldn't be any practical problem regarding antibiotic resistance that you would likely have become aware of in the first place.

More fundamentally, capitalism needs more than just an economic defense (plenty of people and organizations do that today, and while their arguments are essentially true, they are not going to win that way). Capitalism is the only moral social system because it is by definition the only one that is compatible with individual rights. Individual rights are required because only reason allows mankind to maintain the conditions required for his survival. Any other system or "tweak" necessarily requires the initiation or threat of non-retalliatory force upon innocent men, which necessarily stops their minds in a manner proportional to the degree and scope of the threat.

The next step is pretty simple - what is the good? The altruistic idea of the good is not logically sound; if the good is defined as helping others, how is the good defined for the recipients of that help? To tack on another rule to solve the conundrum isn't sensible - to morally bifurcate humanity a priori (in this case, without looking at the specific actions of a particular person that arise from free will) should give you pause. Rand's answer is that every human being exists for their own sake, and that the good is what is in their own long-term rational self-interest. This is a precondition for proper and healthy human relationships; to the extent that people pursue this, they improve their lot and lives.

So to reiterate: from a scientific perspective, this is not a practical problem that doctors would face under true captialism, and morally speaking (which, in Rand's view, is exactly equivalent to the practical), there is nothing that can exist that is better than capitalism.
Agreed. In reality, there's a balance to be made between the cost of maintaining the status quo (in the event that the status quo sucks) and the cost of making changes.

One thing that really frustrated me when I started my career is that the cost of making changes turns out to be non-trivial. If you're shipping software to customers then making changes to the software involves a lot of work planning testing, packaging and so on. Maybe that's one of the reasons why hosting web apps is so much easier than selling shrink-wrapped software in a box.
I'd have to pull up the log file to take a look as I've completely forgotten now. IIRC There were plenty of relations and it was pretty far gone through the sieving when we had a power outage and then I had to travel too much and then... life intervened.

The oddest part is that the RFCs on DKIM recommend against keys below 1024 bits.
But, if they only analyse the headers, they are screwed anyway. Don't they also check the IP of the SMTP server as well or something?
SPF only identifies the sending domain, not the sender himself.

If your address is gmail and my address is gmail, our mx domain has the same spf record and same IPs. Sure, some mail servers will prevent you from authenticating with one ID and sending as another, but many others will let that slide.
One of the things they did do was move comments on stories over to the new site before the full transition, encouraging heavier online users to transition. That seemed quite a good move on their behalf, it almost made me sign up so I could troll^W write my informative comments there.
Have you checked Salesforce's third-party add-ons?

If your car is stuck in snow and ice, throwing some sand or kitty litter under the wheels can help you get out.

For a startup, kitty litter probably won't help -- you need an enthusiastic customer, good media coverage, in essence a "break". The barrier to entry for web firms is very low... what makes you different from the next guy? (A: Not what you do, but how.)
Do you normally send people ideas you hope they won't implement?
There are other fiat currencies issued by governments that are managing their finances better, but if you decide to purchase debt issued by those governments, be sure to understand the fact that you are making a bet on the relative value of currencies and that factors other debt load and fiscal policy will affect these values, especially in the short run.
Sounds like you two should make a public bet?
Two problems: Windows 7 was not engineered for tablet usability like iOS was. Third party OEM's can produce cheaper hardware (the PC effect) but generally can not produce higher quality devices than single party controlled ecosystem (iPhone v Android/WP7).

This does not bode well for Microsoft. But competition is always good for the consumer.
Charge being equivalent to position doesn't make much sense to me.

When I learned systems modelling, we studied spring-mass-damper systems right next to electrical circuits and I have ever since thought of a capacitor as equivalent to potential energy, an inductor as equivalent to inertia and a resistor as equivalent to friction.
To see something like this in action, this HTML Mail.app clone demo (that I'm pretty sure hit the HN front page several months ago) uses data URIs for all its icons:

I think this could be interesting, RedGate who are behind SpringBoard seem to be very good at identifying talent.

I've met quite a few of the startups they've helped before (pre-incubator stage they used to give interesting startups office space) and they're all very talented people, I believe at least 5 of the guys they've worked with in the past have since gone through YC as well.

Globally I think TechStars is the only other seed accelerator that has managed to successfully pull off the YC model, but I suspect if anyone else can do it, it's going to be the SpringBoard guys.

(Especially given that increasing difficulty of getting US Visas, SpringBoard might have a significant advantage in appealing to EU startups)

I'd be tempted to apply to them myself if I wasn't a sole founder :-)

From what I've seen in my limited experience with the US court system is split a couple ways:

Having no money in a court room results in you:

- getting a public defender that is incredibly overworked and underpaid; which results in your case having the dice rolled on if they are able to spend the time to successfully represent you.

Having no experience in a court room results in you:

- pleading which could have possibly worse results than if you tried the case and played it out naturally. It's not always appropriate for the case, but sometimes a lot of people plead to simply return to work. There is also a lot of cops that linger around doing just this, making you plead by handing you forms saying you need to sign this. Any inexperience in traffic courts for example makes you think you need to sign this, resulting in the scenario above, possible points for a no violation type offense.

Having money but no experience in a court room results in you:

- retaining a lawyer on your own dime; the money adds up, and if they don't find a way to represent you in your situation quickly, you're going to pay for every adjournment the lawyer may need. If you're searching lawyers, be sure to ask if they have big workloads, because the ones that have a smaller, more manageable number of ongoing cases are going to be your best bet obviously.

The thing about too many ongoing cases is the current courts situation dealing with overworked public defenders and lawyers. Not having the time it takes to focus on each case or creating mistakes due to burnout & fatigue. After having even one negative experience with a public defender or lawyer like this, I could easily see people wanting to represent themselves or like in the articles case, they aren't even guaranteed to get one in a civil suit.
There are additional TCO for internal combustion vehicles that EVs do not have, such as maintenance on a vastly more complex set of components. If you amortize the costs of the EV over ten years you would likely see double the savings you cite.

I'm referring to "algorithmic" in its negative usage as short-hand for what you can see as of late with regard to Twitter, Youtube, and Facebook's suggestion engines where more complex sorting and filtering is happening than a simple ORDER_BY.

Sure, not the best short-hand, but it seems most people understood what I meant.

You glossed over the author's much more reasonable statement[1]: "The sun is shutting down (relatively) — all four magnetic fields are going out of phase (Zharkova) — and the upshot will be a dramatically cooler planet."

When there's cognitive dissonance, if you care to rationally apprehend the topic, I find it better to strengthen the other party's argument rather than dismiss it because you are so impressed by the mere disagreement.

In my mind this comparison isn't exactly the right way of looking at it. Most of the early buyers who held on bought full shares of bitcoin before fractional shares were an option. The people buying it at 48,000 are likely buying fractional shares. So they're not necessarily invested at the full risk of losing such a significant amount of money. I think this is part of the reason it's going up.
I'm not arguing it's going to die out. I may or may not be one of those someones who has had at least a little bitcoin since it was priced $220 (or earlier).

But while we may be nearing (or at) the end of the era of crazy drops, where everyone thinks "Oh crap, it's all over, time to jump off the ship!" and bitcoin is now in a 2+ year bear run, I can't discount the possibility, and the price still swings up and down in price quite a bit even as recently as two months ago, so I think it's possible that we could see see a fairly big, somewhat sustained drop again (maybe not a whopping 80% drop, but 30-40% maybe? I'm also hopeful it won't last as long, like maybe only 6-12 months, not 24 months).
They get all of the benefits of personhood but literally none of the drawbacks.
Cargo companies seem to have older fleets and the 767s are being displaced from passenger service and have a cargo conversation option. The a380 doesn't have a cargo conversation option as far as I've seen. Plenty of old 747s are in service for cargo flights. Kalitta air has a bunch of older 747s and Atlas has a sizable fleet including some 8Fs.
