You've conflated the different styles of blocking and come up with some nightmare block scenario which just isn't happening.

There are the court ordered blocks of some torrent sites. Any ISP that receives valid court documents has to implement these blocks, but they're easy to bypass.

There are the Internet Watch Foundation cleanfeed blocks which only block images of child sexual abuse and sites with those images; or images of criminally obscene material (which is a tiny subset of porn). Most UK ISPs comply with this with I think only A&A not.

Then there are the optional usually opt-in filters that cover whatever the ISP / customer wants - these are usually granular with a bunch of options for different content filtering. Mobile phones have had this for years, and it's been opt-out on mobile since introduction.

It's important to know the difference so that complaints againstthe blocking are more effective.
thats the point. I think even with a good hosting plan i could handle subdomains only in the hundreds and email adresses in the thousands?!? But how to decide... Even with a focus on open source devs.

2. IT
I think you may be on to something about it being an intrinsically 20th century phenomenon. It may work out like Spritualism, where the movement ran strong for a relatively brief period and then petered out under the withering light of popular scrutiny. Its effects on our culture are still omnipresent, but very few people subscribe to it nowadays because the idea that the dead are with us and want to communicate to us - but only for the sake of performing party tricks and sharing the most tedious of banalities - is hard to really take seriously.

The UFO meme's not so different. Super-advanced races using their incomprehensibly superior technology to fling themselves across the near-infinite vastness of space are visiting us in order to. . . prank aircraft pilots, share tedious banalities and diddle butts. The word 'risible' again comes to mind.
Yes, obviously. The same is true of high latency networks, but that wasn't the point of the grandparent.
> jQuery source has over 100 uses of call and apply.

Right, jQuery does it for you. You usually don't need to do it yourself unless you're contributing to jQuery (or another lib/framework that needs them).

I might ask someone about call and apply but wouldn't be overly concerned if they didn't remember the exact syntax or mixed them up. I've done the same myself. I wouldn't expect someone to remember every little nuanced part of a language, especially if it's not something they use frequently.
Now we need worst cat facts.
Really? I've been using it but I feel pretty lonely. I ended up creating my own Groovy based version of R / pandas data frames because there is simply nothing out there. I'm curious in what ways you're seeing it used.
HN doesn't really have a place for ad hominem attacks or people unable to hold two contrasting ideas in their head at the same time. I am more than happy to disagree with authority and yet think they are doing the right thing (or vice versa).
I think it is age based: younger workers crave the social interaction they get at the office, older workers see a huge advantage in getting more family time (and handling things like taking the kid to school) by working remote. Not universal of course, but I bet there is at least a correlation.
I'm really disappointed in this change - we use an internal extension in my company to quickly jump from one place to another, and this change means that all our internal users will have to re-learn this workflow - with the expectation some never will, since <tab> is quite harder to reach on most keyboards than <space>.

Given how obvious is the accessibility issue, and how silent was the change, it's hard to read it as a positive change when it's clear that the deciding factor is that it's been deemed better to have users unintentionally reach Google than the search engines they explicitly decided.
I don't think this is exactly right is it? My understanding is it's not about testing you, it's just a matter of resource allocation in a severely inefficient system.

The IRS does not have the resources to manually verify all of everyone's income, so instead they use a process of flags which trigger audits of varying depth. Flags include things such as certain reported amounts/types of values. Shallow audits review some submitted records, and the deepest ones are detailed, extensively scrutinizing all aspects of all records by a forensic accountant in an attempt to identify some criminal behavior.

But I have no idea how much of this is true as I think about it. It's just some things I've intuited/reasoned out over time.
I think it's important to distinguish the 'vaccine' as a complete package, that is, that which encompasses the distribution and regulatory framework (in the same sense that 'shipping' refers to more than just a single ship, but all the associated processes too), and the actual physical molecules that researchers pieced together. The latter wins Nobel prizes, the former wins the end of a pandemic. Both are valuable, but there's a clear difference.
It's 'just' OpenStreetMap rendered in a way that emphasizes railway lines and exposes some of the metadata. So whilst the site is german-run the data has no geographical bias.
More carbon in the air = bad.

More carbon in trees = good. Maybe we could have a chance.

I think that is not so difficult to understand the concept after so many decades talking about it.

Russia has a 23% of the forests in all the planet. Bigger than Amazonas.
I've worked with 5 of the top 10. Trust me, these are start-ups only in name.
I'd want to understand long-term sustainability.

* Is my data harvested?

* Do I get billed in 3 years once you have marketshare?

* Do I listen to an ad?

Bandwidth ain't free.

Or if there is a secretive business model, have a clear "free, ad-free, no data harvesting FOREVER" guarantee.
How would you apply incentives to things like not providing (any/the propper) documentation for something you bought using the company card?

This seems to be quite easy to do for bad code; you just have them rewrite it. But especially for the things that are not a persons primary work it feels like "apply incentives better" is more easily said than done.
If Yahoo had just put 'Spinout/Sunset' atop that slide naming Del.icio.us, rather than just 'Sunset', a lot of the anguish could have been avoided.
'Few' can mean one or more so logically you got nothing. Although if you look up 'troll' you will find 'mfukar'.

Indeed personally I hate Google Meet naked links, because for privacy reasons I prefer attend via phone, and only with the "official" email I get a phone number and the meeting pin...
I find self-amalgamating tape to be good to finish bicycle bar wraps instead of electrical tape, or for chainstay protection. I can imagine it could also be useful where it's difficult to apply heat shrink tubing. It's amazing, fuses to itself, sort of like tyre patches.
Can you elaborate? What does "pro-cop" mean in this geographical context and why do I not want to be arrested here versus somewhere else (assuming I wanted to be arrested)?
a lot of great functionality is built-in but also hidden behind menus or have strange names on mac.
Way back in the day there was a great social platform called Multiply.com. it allowed you to post videos, pics and blog posts. I felt it was better than Myspace or Facebook. Unfortunately it didn't survive, but I hope this SlowSocial gets better traction!
Any suggestions for someone with an overbite? I went to some orthos who recommended removing two premolars, others suggesting jaw surgery. in the end I went to elastics + invsialign though I can't seem but to feel that the elastics are doing nothing
This is what a typical attack on the U.S. would likely look like. Attack 1 is an attack that attempts to hit the U.S. silos in addition to other U.S. military and civilian targets. It's what would perhaps be used in a first-strike scenario. Attack 2 assumes that the land based U.S. missiles have already launched, and only targets military and civilian targets, but doesn't worry about targeting U.S. land based missile silos.

The casualties figure is immediate, and doesn't include things like the breakdown of society -- this is just the casualties estimated from the actual war itself.
If you're writing software, you know what the super key is.
> In the end, the entire human race will be exposed to SARS-COV-2.

This statement is false.

(With regard to any reasonable definition of exposure to the current virulent strains and assuming the vaccines do their job.)

One major purpose of the vaccines is to cause R < 1 and the virus to fade out, so that most humans will not be exposed to the virus ever in their lives. The other major purpose is for those humans who are exposed to it, to significantly reduce the chance of the virus causing harm.

Like putting out a fire before it spreads everywhere. Some things are burned but not everything is even touched by the flame, if it's put out.
I've heard that. What you say about that parking minimum rings a bell, too.

Also, I'm sure that the HOAs so many people live in wouldn't allow anyone to convert their single into a double, or build an auxiliary dwelling in the backyard.

I wonder if areas of the city not under an HOA regime would allow stuff like that?
VA got all of its land back with the retrocession 173 years ago. MD doesn't particularly want DC back because of internal state politics reasons.
It’s a disappointing misunderstanding to see the blog post lead with design != marketing personas, and then try label psychographic and demographic usage against each, respectively.

Marketing is finding product market fit. Product is a sub-category of marketing. Design is a function that contributes to product.
No, I would stop using facebook
My nuclear family has been panicking about this day for months. I’ve assured them a coup is infeasible because Trump is incompetent. I have tried to get them to appreciate CGPGrey’s Rules for Rulers. Trump is too short sighted to realize that he needs to keep the keys to power happy. The military leaders will be happy to see him go.
That is a big difference right now I think. For most of the Trump presidency, Fox basically acted as his platform, and so I doubt much would have been different over that period if Twitter and Facebook didn't exist. With overturning an election being a bridge too far for them though, without the direct platform of Twitter, I don't see things getting to this point.

One could certainly argue that a system where leaders have a direct platform to address the people is more democratic than one that relies on media gatekeepers, but it does have its downsides.
>and letting China into the World Trade Association

That probably meant the WTO.

Still, "letting"? As if it's the role of the 4% of the world to dictate whether the 18% of the world would enter a supposedly neutral global trade organization?
I don't think people are making mistakes. It's a social construct. If I want to consider these people women, there is nothing stopping me, and I don't need to care about people's chromosomes.
Well, if you already have an iPhone ? I would assume this is for small vendors? Otherwise indeed I do not see the point.
I'd add that Banksy is another modern artist who's done a pretty good job developing his own mythology.
I almost took a job with Peloton last year, since they made a pretty reasonable offer to me and I figure that working for an exercise company might inspire me to get into better shape. I'm pretty glad I didn't now.
As in Chinese military technology?

You don't need to do those things to use vim. It just has a kind of steep learning curve -- one that has to do with just getting used to its keybindings (ie, nothing to do with PhD level cs or writing compilers).
You are correct: we could continue to trade while keeping the tech a secret, and eventually amass millions of dollars. Doing so would take 5-10 years.

If, however, we find an institution who understands the potential of FX Machine and is willing to invest in it, we can amass our millions much sooner than we would on our own. The opportunity cost for us associated with selling FX Machine versus using it personally is not measured in dollars; it's measured in years.
Are the logo's really the problem? Personally, I think GNU could benefit more from a unified style guide so all project pages are instantly recognizable as being a gnu project and vice versa ('oi, this gnu thing is what made gcc').

Don't shoot the logo's; but it might help if someone with a sense of style would create a gnu-bootstrap template.
> The homepage of vim, the editor every hipster who wants to look like a Unix greybeard tries to learn as if it were the holy grail of programming knowledge, has a very 1990s look.

But that's often not how people perceive vim these days because other channels have started filling the void. Vim's marketing these days is people referring the editor to others and letting them know how cool it can be.

Just because the original developer does not do marketing does not mean that other people won't fill the void. I for instance have been using vim for years and years and I'm very commonly showing off my vim setup to others at conferences and sharing my configuration online, tweeting screenshots etc.
"Down for maintenance."

I guess it's the Hacker News effect.
What risk?

That they'll have to pay advertising again?

Because if you don't move in, it's still empty.

More like 10-15 years.

Airliners already spend most of their life on autopilot today. Many (including the Airbus that crashed here) have auto-landing systems[1], too.

Fully autonomous passenger aircraft are being tested[2] in shared airspace since 2012.

I can see the issue with animals with brains.

However, Oysters/mussels should be separated out of this list as they don't. After watching this Ted video, http://www.ted.com/talks/stefano_mancuso_the_roots_of_plant_... , I think high level plants may be functioning at near the same level as low functioning animals.
Yep, sounds to me 60min time lock.
walgreens was a small drugstore chain. they got national when they started selling alcohol during prohibition as a remedy (exactly like it happens with marijuana in some states now).

nowadays they sell pretty much everything, even prescription medicine in a distant corner :)

most of what they sell is cheap snacks, 99cents products and trinkets.

also walgreens and other drugstores here all have their own brand of copied medicine "walgreens product X. compare to Brand Y product X" on the labels
It's a pretty big pie that got baked, that <20% is quite a lot in the scheme of things.
ELAN was specifically developed to be used in the systematic teaching of programming to students in secondary education. As such it had very much the same goals as BASIC, but given that it was developed a decade later, and with one of the authors of the Algol 68 report leading the development group, it was much richer.

Some information for those interested is still at http://www.cs.ru.nl/elan/ and there's an implementation for the language there as well.

An interesting tidbit is that ELAN was used for the EUMEL system by Jochen Liedtke, who took what he learned to develop the L3 and later L4 microkernels; see also https://6xq.net/eumel/
Chaumian digital cash is fine, but that isn't what taler actually implements.

Instead, it requires the recipient to identify themselves and the amounts for every payments. This is a continuous realtime surveillance which does not exist for cash.

Used perfectly it might be potentially more private than paypal, but no one is under any illusion that paypal is particularly private.

On a scale of ethical behavior providing strong privacy is superior to providing limited privacy but both are vastly superior to falsely claiming something has strong privacy when it is limited.

Taler takes matters a step further a falsely claim that its continuous realtime mass surveillance is required to facilitate lawful taxation. This claim is false-- an outright lie in fact. Not only is it technically not required, it's not legally required either and taxation has existed for countless generations when this kind of electronic surveillance was unimaginable.
Awesome comment!

Can you elaborate on this? If you can't do so in public, then I'd like to have a conversation about this. I'd like to know more about inflation issues and unbanked issues with regards to cryptocurrencies. To me, it always feels like "crypto marketing" (for lack of a better term), but I am also realizing that I'm living in a far removed bubble and find it hard to get out of it.

My email is in my profile if you feel it's handier to have a private conversation instead.

I think crypto is fulfilling one need at the moment which is: if you happen to have a super crazy inflationary national currency and you don't have access to actual dollars, then there's always cryptocurrencies that are most likely less crazy (in the inflationary sense).
> it seems like it will be impossible to scale beyond a team of 5 people without insane conflicts.

Tell me about it. We have to use different versions of the CLI to push different type of changes to the schema. It is insane.
I feel the same way. I've been a dev for a few years now, make 150% of the median household income in my area by myself.

Even once I finish my student loan payments I will be in the same position as you. I live in a Medium cost of living area of a LCOL state.

All of my friends are doing okay even with way less personal income than myself, because of their parents money. I happened to come from a single parent home with no resources.

It's pretty damn clear to me that people of our generation can not expect "The American Dream" unless their parents give them a bunch of money or they become a very high income earner themselves.
Yes, you can use a custom subdomain to serve the script, but browsers/plugins are working on blocking them too (Brave has implemented this already, I think). You won't get around tracking from the backend if you want accurate data.
Hybrid memory systems are famously difficult to work with.

See XBox 360 eDRAM, Xeon Phi (DDR4 + HMC version), among others. Its a computer architecture that keeps showing up every few years... programmers get frustrated with the split-memory architecture. So its rare for such a system to ever become popular.

----------

HBM RAM doesn't have any better latency characteristics than DDR4. Traversing a linked-list in HBM will take the same amount of time (maybe even a bit longer) than DDR4. As such, its non-obvious how to optimize the split-memory operations.

NUMA-style mallocs / frees (malloc to a particular memory location) don't really match the performance characteristics either. Its not that one or the other RAM has better latency... its that one RAM has more BANDWIDTH than the other. NUMA-style is already more complicated than most programmers are willing to work with, and yet its still not enough to capture the performance attributes of HBM vs DDR4.
I think having a zero P0 and P1 bug policy makes sense. As others have said some bugs may not make business sense to fix. I do think it is useful to set thresholds for other bug priorities as well. 1,000 P2 bugs may make your product feel unusable.
I made no complaint, nor am I upset. I was merely giving objective reasons why, no matter how many visas you give out, some businesses are simply not going to be built in the US. I also explained why politicians focus on low skill illegal immigrants rather than high skill legal immigrants.

Personally, I'm looking forward to moving to India. The food is tasty, the women are beautiful, and it's time for me to do something different. I have no complaints.
Anyone know how Google Talk's video chat works compared to Apple's FaceTime? Is there a reason everyone can't agree on a standard?
Totally impressive. Redefines "real-time" for media.
Cause/effect.

I'm sure anyone who has ever worked in a team where things weren't going so well has tried the whole "let's go to lunch together!" thing but it's never a solution.

Good teams tend to eat lunch together = true.
Good teams are good because they eat lunch together = false.

A good team evolves from a consistent and careful approach to hiring and organisation and when a manager groups people together based on common principals, approaches and motivating factors. Or they form themselves when people who realise they see eye to eye decide to team up and build stuff.

If people who don't agree on the basics or just plain don't get along get together and try to be productive, there will always be that loss of focus and resentment when compromises have to made. Getting together for one hour a day to make small talk doesn't change that.
We are in total agreement. Now, skewing the topic a little: what would you do if you were in charge, alone, of the technical side of an online store with 10,000 uniques/day and a very cool domain name? Also, the owners of the company listen to you and like you. Crazy ideas are welcome!
I find that unlikely. AWS hasn't been a major provider for that long. They weren't PCIDSS certified until just 5 months ago, so no big companies were even doing ecommerce independently on their platform yet.

If it took a year to build your service on AWS products, it shouldn't take years to do it again with another provider now that you've done it before. A server is a server, whatever you've programmed to run on those virtual servers will run on identical virtual servers at another company. It's only the parts of your system that interact with Amazon's APIs, and your human systems/policies, that have to be reworked.

And if you're big enough that your systems take years to build, you have a disaster plan already. If Amazon blinked out of existence tomorrow, Netflix wouldn't be standing there with no idea what they'd do to get back online.
You might be right and maybe a MBP just fits your needs even better than a MBA could. I just wanted to demonstrate that a MBA is pretty good for development too.
