Open war, covert actions, or economic sanctions would work fine on a state v state level.

In the case of non state actors, current policing methods should be sufficient. In the cases where its not (and there is sufficient cause) covert policing actions should not be ruled out.
This sounds eerily reminiscent of interviewing at Idealab in 2000.
It's kind of like saying there are english words as long as antidisestablishmentarianism.

Even in the comment you use "langauge", so doubtful I checked if the world "langauge" existed haha.

When he says it's simple, he means to understand. But sometimes you can still guess words. Few examples that you could have find if you're familiar with chinese (because you're learning it for example) :

_出租车 (chuzuche) means taxi (rent - car)

_火车 (huoche) means train (fire - car)

_飞机 (feiji) means airplane (fly - machine)
I know more than 2300 characters, and can read stuff and verbalize the correct pronunciation, even recognize which characters go together as words. But I often still don't understand the meaning of what I'm reading because I don't know the meaning of enough two-character words.

The Chinese govt language proficiency test (HSK) proscribes knowledge of 2900 characters and 8800 words for literacy. Learning those 8800 words is the toughie.
It seems like "tracing JIT" is really just "advanced compiler hints from runtime analysis". There's no reason this couldn't be gathered by tools and saved in a file to be used by compilers. Combine this with very advanced symbolic debugging and very rapid compilation, there would no longer be any need for late-binding dynamic languages. (Says the lover of Smalltalk, no less! It would have to be with debugging on the level of Smalltalk or IPython and then some.)
"to clarify, Chinese dictionaries don't generally (in my experience) provide pronunciation"

What? Every Chinese dictionary I've seen says how a word is written in Pinyin, allowing one to pronounce it. Every person in mainland China who has gone to school knows Mandarin and Pinyin. For example Cantonese is just a locally spoken dialect, children learn Mandarin at school.
>I don't think you can call a lib "react-like" if it doesn't have something like the virtual dom diff. You could say it has react-like syntax, maybe.

Sorry, I don't follow. The Riot.js project site DOES tout "Virtual DOM" as one of its features.

You say it doesn't actually have that?
Wow, did not realize this was from 2007.
Three weeks ago, I was at a science fair demonstrating a genetic algorithm that would create AIs for two-player boardgames, and included a test case with tic-tac-toe.

Guys from the IEEE talked to me at length, loved it, and gave me their grand prize. Two judges (both Lisp hackers (and both thrilled to see an 18-year old doing AI with CL)) also loved it...but the other judges did not understand it at all, so I didn't even place at the actual fair. Sigh.

This doesn't really work in the classroom, because right now teachers rely on being able to teach exactly how to perform a given calculation. Have lots of different calculators with differing interfaces, some of which the teacher doesn't even know, and teaching becomes much more difficult.
Agreed.

I have a 25 year old nephew. He literally attempts to do everything on his iphone. I keep telling him I have a handful of decent mid range gamer tower's collecting dust, take one so you can actually do normal stuff on it when you need to write a form letter, or save some documents or play games on it?

He always just tells me, "Nope, I'm good."

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sapolsky on depression: https://youtu.be/NOAgplgTxfc

“Depression is agression turned inwards”.

He explains what our current understanding of depression is. I think you’ll have a whole new understanding of depression after watching this.

Does that make sense? Why should a privacy policy be retroactive on things I already posted?
Yeah, bots will stay - they post like crazy and make me not use Twitter. Another idiotic decision from Twitter!
I’m skeptical the user was banned for this reason.

There were stories of users being banned for LGBT content, but I see tons of it on TikTok. Turns out the real situation was TikTok following local laws and only videos in Turkey were removed.

Edit: There must be more to this story [1] because the video is still up [2]

It's not gradient based because it runs without reference to the derivative (gradient) of f. It's black box.

Gradient descent does not work by generating random neighbours, it follows the gradient.
Heh I suggested this once on HN and got modded down to hell. I completely agree. I think any performance advantages of the async model are lost because it adds so much complexity to just reading and following code.

The amount of effort JS programmers have to go to in order to write synchronous code that is legible, works and easy to understand is enormous. I am a Bad Programmer so accept that some of it is just my lack of willingness to spend the time to get over that hump but I find it almost impossible to believe the gains are worth the costs.
Also, from the Parker Sun probe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKinVmBoIrE
> asm.js is basically a "best practices" guide for js vm authors.

No. It is a specifically designed subset of JS that also has extra annotations. If a block of code does not adhere to the rules, it is not asm.js and will be processed as regular JS. If it validates, it is processed by a different compiler pipeline and AOT compiled.

It is much more accurate to say that asm.js is a newly designed byte-code that very cleverly happens to use backward-compatible JS as its serialization.

Native Dart is also not guaranteed to be faster than Dart2JS.

> Dartium requires the end developer distribute 2 payloads, one for Dartium browsers and 1 for JavaScript browsers.

Ah but that is only extra work for the developer. Similar to compile-to-JS languages like TypeScript, CoffeeScript, Emscripten, etc. there is no problem with new technologies that impose extra work on the developer, because it is the developer's choice to use it or not, so the person making the decision is the one paying the extra administrative cost.
I suspect a few in the BitCoin/tech community will lobby Manchin or other members of Congress the other way. There is enough financial interest in BitCoin now that it won't be easily outlawed.

Either way, Congress can't ban BitCoin but they can ban BitCoin exchanges and BitCoin payment processors. Good luck with that.
I think the shift you describe has been more general. The US right single-handedly rehabilitated the term "socialist" by using it on Obama - without that Sanders would not have had the chance he had. If anything I think that the conservative messaging has been decidedly of the foot-shooting variety by overreaching. I think they really damaged themselves that way in the long run.

I find it interesting that you find the term "leftist" to be so loaded, because to me (living in the UK), the main issue with this term is that it does not make clear that this is a party to the left of the social democrats, that considers themselves explicitly democratic socialist.

That said, I'll note the NPR article now has the headline "Opposition Wins Elections In Greenland, Casting Doubt On Future Of Rare-Earth Mine", and I actually find it more disturbing than that they initially used "Leftist" that they've managed to avoid even once mentioning that this is a socialist party. Not mentioning the views of the larger party in an article about an election is really odd.

It feels like they want to downplay how left-wing the Greenland electorate is. It's just mentioned that they're the main opposition to the social-democratic party, but it's worth noting that the social-democrats and socialists combined now have 2/3's of the Greenland parliament, and the rest are mostly centrist liberals.

It's also worth mentioning that this also means 26 of 31 seats are held by parties favouring independence from Denmark (though not necessarily immediately), but that the opposition to the mine on environmental grounds beat out the argument that the mining project would improve the prospect of independence by providing increased revenues and jobs.

It's a remarkably vapid article.
I remember reading the MySQL Gotchas page back in the 2000s and that leaping out as a particularly egregious issue. It fit in with their whole ethos of "databases don't need transactions and users don't need errors" around that time though, which put me off for life.
Then you haven't used the Torch yet. :-)

I'll echo what everyone else here is saying - Blackberry is still king with email and might always be. But the iPhone and Android are just doing something completely different that's more relevant to more smartphone users.
Agreed. Terriible article.

What sums it up for me is RIM email and keyboard owns. iPhone browsing owns. Wish I could have both. I personally could care less about the apps although I'm sure many do.

Writing this on my iPhone was painful.
Presumably, news.arc just restarted; the average score in the corner was (IIRC) just a temporary hack punched into a REPL.

What I’m saying is that they almost certainly would not have been able to “get the bad guys” without being shot themselves, unless the tactic was machine-gun emplacements turning everyone into hamburger, with the side effect of starting a shooting war nationwide.

Agreed. I really liked AngularJS in spite of all its shortcomings. To me, it felt a lot more traditional I guess, and coming from Python/Django, I really enjoyed that. React on that other hand, I can't seem to gel with it at all.
r > g is definitely a force for divergence. my intuition was that it is empirically unrealistic to expect r > g and Rognile's paper seems to provide quantitative evidence for this intuition
Nope most are private labs! But what do you think drew these labs to New York? Possibly a well-educated populace driven by a successful state university system funded by tax dollars? You better believe it!
Seconded: the colours and styling are a little tacky, but the UX is great and it’s easy to get to the graphs to see rates of growth. It is lacking total deaths graphs though
Currently only the frontend code is open sourced.

We are thinking to provide a self-hosted option or some mixed one (you host only the database & we do the aggregation), but it is not our top priority at the moment.
> It forces people to put in massive efforts early-career.

From what I understand and have heard, a lot of advancements in math and physics in particular have come from people that are quite young, often in their 20s. That's apparently when brains are at their peak; it seems to me that's the period in which massive efforts are most likely to pay off big.

Einstein was 26 when he published his annus mirabilis papers. I believe Newton was in his mid-20s when he began developing calculus.
Some people genuinely believe that God will protect them.

I have no idea how to get through to such people, but if you happen to have an opportunity to engage with someone like that here's an experiment that I would love to see someone try: tell them to read Exodus 12:29 and suggest that maybe this time we are Egypt.

This is one of the reasons why I always join a Zoom call from my phone, by calling their international numbers [1].

Recruiters sometimes ask me to turn my video on during interviews… I politely decline and move on to other opportunities.

Their app is so privacy invasive, I cannot understand why people keep using it, specially considering 2018 vulnerability [2].

YouTube is increasingly loading its ads from its contents server. I’m using a PiHole and it’s quite of a challenge to block the ads. There is quite of a discussion on PiHole discourse about this, and people are adding some obscure domain names to the block list. It’s not always working but sometimes they do, and curiosity, sometimes YouTube only fails to load the sound of the ad!
No - sorry for the confusion.

18-49 year olds represent 53% of all confirmed COVID-19 cases in the state of New York.
My comment is meant as a correction, not an expansion. What you said was wrong.

>Rather than remove the exemption, the SEC has effectively removed the disclosure requirement.
The rule did not protect naive investors from themselves, it protected them from fraud and the economy from bubbles.

That is just simply not true at all.
Because the actions described are unsurprising for these types of people (antagonistic people who write unhinged stuff on twitter, refer to their employer as "evil", and so on).
So has it been studied? Are there popular theories on what the mechanics behind depression are? I would be curious to know these.

Both, headaches and depression to me seem to have been "intentionally" developed by evolution. Pain has a reason: Tell you to not do certain things. Low energy / self esteem might also have a reason: Tell you to stay at home.

A broken leg on the other hand was not developed for a reason by evolution.

Meditation is said to be able to give similar experiences. But of course require a lot more work.
That's obnoxiously ignorant. Even in high school one of my friends had their house raided and electronics, other valuables consfiscated. A dealer scapegoated him, and he had been searched and found with a pipe with resin in it. He carried the pipe to be cool. He had smoked weed less than 5 times at that point. I have other friends with criminal records for minute quantitites of personal use marijuana.
"Without riot gear, that very difficult"

Then there would be the question, of why there was no riot gear, when riots or riot-like situation could be expected. And since this was a planned event - and protestors openly planned to storm it - then maybe there should have been some better preparation?

And crowd control is indeed tricky, but it is still standard procedure for police.

You have fences.

You have lines of strong policemen with shields and tonfa.

You have tear gas.

Watercannon.

Beanbag.

Taser.

And ultimately, if rioters are indeed shooting or preparing to do so: there are guns with the police, too.

Many others brought the point: there probably would have been rivers of blood, if the black life matters movement, would have tried to storm the capitol.
I think they're implying that the majority of current working time isn't actually work, that those jobs could be done with 1/10th the current man hours and still be just as productive.

In that world you don't need to hire anyone else because all you've done is cut back all the bs idling time that we all know exists in many jobs while keeping output the same.

FWIW I'm not sure I agree on the 1/10th but like 1/3rd or 1/2 absolutely from my position.
I am 100% serious. I get the "ad-free public internet" nostalgia, but ads is an inevitable component of our economy. The good old internet was good only because it was something new and unknown. The very first newspapers did not have ads. 100 years after, Benjamin Franklin pulled the trigger and started a column for advertisers to promote their products and services. Ads are valuable. They can make a huge difference for your business. Ads are not going anywhere in the near future.

Working for AdTech doesn't mean undoing the good. Given that the internet is pretty young, there is nothing to undo. Working for AdTech means improving what's already out there.

Don't get me wrong. I hate ads. Who doesn't? Everyone in AdTech uses ad blocker, such is life ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But, every time I launch a new project, I need some form of advertisement. It can be be Show HN, Product Hunt or Google PPC. But I need ads. You need ads. And if you don't need them now, you most likely will in the future.

I obviously don't know everything about AdTech and I'm sure there are a ton of shady players, exploiting your software/hardware to sneak some ads in (reputable firms do not appreciate such behavior). But from what I do know, the kind of data being shared by apps is so boring that it's actually in a user's best interest to allow the data to be shared. Otherwise doctors will see ads about vaping and fishers will see ads about the latest JavaScript IDEs. Which is why I asked, what exactly is being shared by WhatsApp? I honestly don't give a shit about Facebook knowing my gender, age, the city I'm from, etc. I'm 34, male, living in New York. Now what? In contrast, if WhatsApp shares your messages and files with third-party companies, then that's for sure a shady shit that affect your security. A whole separate conversation.
Feels like a standard case of out-of-control creativity through advanced chemistry.
Astronomy usually needs sidereal time.

Mean solar time is a largely mathematical construct that has no direct relation to anything immediately observable. (Notice the word 'mean' ... to _observe_ mean solar time you'd need to watch the sun for a whole year from the equator.)

To the extent that astronomy applications want solar time at all, they probably wants it with more precision than you get from UTC.

What situation? The one where everyone flies safely?

You might get a bit more attention as an Israeli Arab, or as a foreign national, but the profiling is mostly behavioural. They might have a look through your things, but then again they they gave my dad's luggage a load of attention on a recent trip and he's an air force veteran.

It's also more or less impossible to distinguish (visually) Israeli Arabs and Sephardim/Mizrahim. You're not going to get hassle for having darker skin. I've got a hunch you haven't been to Ben Gurion or Israel, but if you did and had a hard time then that's a shame and I hope you have a better trip at some point in the future.

(And siculars I'm not an Israeli Arab, but valid question. I don't want to clog this place up by discussing politics, so I'm leaving it here.)
Using a product is not an absolute requirement for forming an informed opinion on it. There is enough literature and information out there that one can casually gather an insight into how Facebook works, what their policies are, and empirical observations about how it is used/experienced by others around oneself.
We can't even get people to dump IE6. How the hell are we going to get them to use longer passwords, and change them every year?

Scrypt is better than longer passwords because it's actually possible to implement in practice.
Sup dawg. I heard you like incubators.
Amazon.com and Google.com (at least) don't even serve valid pages.

Amazon doesn't declare a doctype or character encoding. They have 7 blocks of inline CSS, there page is a dog to load. They have nested tables for non-tabular data, the don't encode entities (&amp;, etc), they use non-existent (in spec) attribute values, don't declare all script types, don't add all alt attributes, they use a mixture of XHTML and HTML (mixed use of self-closing tags and unclosed tags), etc., etc..

So I guess big sites just don't care about web standards.

I can't imagine how insane it would drive you trying to navigate Amazon's site with a screenreader.
There about 620 million passengers in the US per year (http://www.transtats.bts.gov/), which comes out to $47 billion. In government terms, not that enormous.

In terms of lives saved, the TSA is already a gigantic waste of money. You could save a lot more lives per dollar by doing hundreds of other different things.

No question. In fact, TSA has probably on balance killed people by encouraging marginal travelers to drive rather than fly. But on the assumption that the general public isn't going to be receptive to a rational cost/benefit analysis, I'd rather pay more for security that (1) might actually be effective, and (2) doesn't involve naked photographs or sexual assault.
That's still model-dependent, I think. If the cost is sufficient barrier to entry that user skepticism remains high, then you'd probably have less initial converts simply by having a smaller pool of potential clients giving you a chance.
Words are cheap. If Microsoft doesn't sue the Kinect guys and doesn't try to implement weird hardware tricks to break the driver, then it will be believable.
It seems they offer per-key transactions.

VoltDB offers full transactions / open-source. Lots of differences between us and Aerospike / FDB.
I just realized that maté does exist in Spanish: it means "I killed"—all the more reason to use mate instead. :-)

No, they are already being crawled and indexed by Google. Jason was lying about that. He banks heavily on the fact that it takes significantly more energy for others to check his facts than it does for him to make them up.

This is a very, very dangerous heuristic. Competence does not imply the ability to articulate said competence. Many (most? all?) competences are in the doing, not the saying. Articulation is its own competence, and there's a bridge from one to the other, but only a bridge.

It is so dangerous because you are more likely to write someone off (yourself or others) if the articulation requirement isn't met. When it's others that you write off, you compound whatever latent Dunning-Kruger effect you may be experiencing. When it's yourself, you then open yourself to distortion caused by the Dunning-Kruger effect in others. eg, "he seems to know what he's talking about" etc.
