Imagine HackerNews existed in 1992, as an NNTP newsgroup, and reported stories about this new thing called the World Wide Web being developped by Berners-Lee. I wasn't there at the time, but I imagine that only a fraction of the people at the time understood the revolutionary capabilities of this technology, while most were indifferent, and perhaps, like you, a little annoyed if the WWW was repeatedly mentioned to you in a short timespan.

Of course we all know how significant the WWW turned out to be to human society in the next decade and later.

Well, IMHO, what is happening today in 2011 with Bitcoin is the same thing. When I first read about Bitcoin, I skimmed over it, thought it was a scam. Then it was mentioned to me again, and again, became curious, stumbled upon the white paper by accident (http://www.bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdf), read it, and was amazed by the concepts, the design, the suprising capabilities offered by its clever use of cryptography. This is so different and so far ahead from any monetary system that exists today that I, for one, believe that Bitcoin is potentially as revolutionary as the WWW. The very fact we see so many submissions from different people about Bitcoin (the top 8 submission at http://www.google.com/search?q=+site:ycombinator.com+bitcoin are from 7 different HN accounts, so it is not like there is a core group of fanboys spamming HN), and the fact that HN is a community with a high concentration of smart folks, shows that Bitcoin is certainly onto something... In fact, a seemingly overabundance of submissions for a specific technology is exactly one thing I would recognize as a sign of the potentially next WWW-level revolutionary tech...

Mark my words. Come back to this post 10 years from now :-)
That site definitively seems crackpot, but they might be right about some parts of the brain suppressing activity in other parts. Like a Subsumption architecture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsumption_architecture
I see two troublesome arguments here that are often used by the media industries:

1. "It's those @$#% kids!" In other words, promulgating and perpetuating an unnecessary generational divide. The "entitlement generation" will soon enough be running the show, so the incumbents are only doing humanity a disservice by taking a scorched-earth-like policy instead of figuring out how to run a sustainable business that satisfies the demands of the technology-enabled consumer.

2. "Pirates gonna pirate." There is no "pirate" demographic, no one reason why people copy instead of buying. Maybe they've watched the first season of a show on Hulu, but the later seasons are unavailable. Maybe they'll pay for content or watch ads, but not both at the same time (Hulu). Maybe they missed an episode of their favorite show and don't want to wait 30 days to a year for it to show up on Hulu/Netflix/DVD.

Assuming that all pirates are of equally dubious moral character is defeatist, elitist, and self-damaging. It's defeatist and self-damaging because it's ignoring the potential to expand one's market to reach some of the pirates. Each incremental step out of the inglorious dark ages of big media and into the digital light will capture another n% of the currently-pirate market. It's elitist because it regards having a different moral code as inferior, when in reality, it's just different.

This addresses your second-to-last paragraph. Pandora is a pain because it's deliberately crippled. If you get a mix you don't like, you can only downvote or skip a few songs before you're forced to listen to whatever they play, and that restriction applies across all of your stations. In other cases, it's a deficiency of marketing/awareness/trust, user interface, selection, ISP bandwidth/throttling, or pricing.

Finally, give it time. The typical college graduate has probably "acquired" more music over the past 7 years of their lives than they could ever have hoped to pay for. Some of those will eventually convert to paying customers as they begin earning real money, and their increased access to creative content during school may have inspired them to greater societal contributions, from which all of us can benefit.
It depends on the percentage of the pay cut?
Minimally, require a password. This password would be separate from your Windows/Linux/OSX account password.

You could also use a non-standard port or configure some sort of port knocking system, or just close the VNC port to the outside world and allow connections over VPN or SSH tunnels only.
I read the Nim manual a while ago (http://nim-lang.org/manual.html), back when it was Nimrod.

As a Python user, I loved it. Every single problem I had with Python, Nim seemed to have solved elegantly. Performance, distribution, typing... Everything looked perfect, and none of the Python expressiveness seemed to have been sacrificed.

But it was transpiled to C, and the abstraction was leaky. Every once in a while the manual would mention that certain structures were not supported, and it was clear C was the culprit. I think the most glaring example were nested functions, or something similar.

I thought to myself "this will bite me in the ass sooner or later" and gave up. Maybe it's time to try again. If they plugged the abstraction holes, this will be a killer language, with applications everywhere.
D maybe, since it has a GC, but Rust not as much. A lot of defaults are different, affecting how libraries and idiomatic code are written and what situations it can be used in without turning things off or avoiding features.
An unscientific observation about "summer" is in the west, schools aren't in session. That might be a very large contributor to the spread of all viruses.

I think there are too many variables to approach this scientifically and people won't really care how it diminishes. Just do everything possible to limit the spread while scientists formulate a vaccine of sorts.

Suggesting that a seasonal change could even be considered dangerous because it may lead people to believe that containment is no longer necessary. It's only "summer" for roughly half the planet, right?
That's me. Also my store just doesn't have it. Stuff like kitty litter, cat food, etc.

Amazon sells basically everything. Paper towels and toilet paper are in short supply, non-perishable food items, cooking supplies, items for working at home, diapers, toys and other items for quarantined kids, extra vitamins and supplements that could run out, pet food and supplies, etc. Like everywhere, some art shifting in person shopping to delivery, and many are hoarding, both of which have a big effect.
This is a very underwhelming article. It talks about an old bug and then some basic features you should be aware of... Shouldn't be on HN front-page.

I think this article from EFF is clearer and more comprehensive in general:

Macbook appears to be pretty intelligent about it's battery. My 2016 is still over 90% healthy and regularly gets over 5 hours on a single charge (load dependent of course). It's pretty much on 24/7.

Not exactly what you are looking for but I have heard good things about Dreams on PS4 (https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/dreams-ps4/). I have bought it but haven't really had a chance to try it yet.

It may not teach programming but might be good enough to learn about basics of logic, design, assets management, music, sound, etc.
It looks like they had been working on adding MobileCoin support server side https://signal.org/blog/help-us-test-payments-in-signal/ .

> If some people get the virus and have no symptoms, that's an incredibly important piece of the puzzle when deciding how to proceed.

This study does not tell you that these people had COVID. That's the point: we don't know what this means. All we know, is that we need to study this further.

> The mortality rate is a specific figure, it's not whatever figure makes your reaction most appropriate.

From Wikipedia: "Mortality rate, or death rate, is a measure of the number of deaths (in general, or due to a specific cause) in a particular population, scaled to the size of that population, per unit of time." What is the "particular population" here is in question. I argue that "people who had the SARS-CoV-2 disease" are the relevant population. That is, people who had symptoms or tested positive after an exposure. This study does not change this because it shows no source of the antibodies: if I inject my COVID-19 antibodies into your arm, it does not mean that you had the disease and therefore should not be counted in the mortality rate, does it? How those antibodies got there is a question yet to be answered but the possible answers range from "those people got a mild case and didn't notice" to "those people developed low level antibodies due to incidental contact with COVID-19" without getting the the illness. Their immune system is not trained well enough to fight off a higher viral load."

> Using your exaggerated examples, what if 99% of the population didn't suffer any adverse effects? Wouldn't you reevaluate the current response in light of that?

Yes and no. First, this study does not tell me anything regarding suffering adverse effects. But if a future study did, I think the 3 million people that have died so far would have wanted us to take more precautions, not less, just because we, the living, won the antibody lottery. At the end of the day this is a highly infectious + somewhat deadly disease that adds up to one deadly pandemic. If your point is that only another few million will die if we let it run rampant vs all of humanity, I don't disagree with you but urge you to examine what it means to let millions of people die in this case.
There were at least 3 attacks to Iranians ships in March before that mine explosion. So 5 known attacks in total in 2021, and at least a dozen in 2020.

I don't think this was a response to that mine explosion, but rather just a new event in a series of on going attacks to Iranian ships. That mine explosion however was likely a response from Iran.

"A third maritime security source told Reuters that three other Iranian ships had been damaged in recent weeks by unknown causes when sailing through the Red Sea."

"Meanwhile the Wall Street Journal reported that Israel has targeted at least a dozen vessels bound for Syria and mostly carrying Iranian oil"

Giving advice that people may want to know/follow is not victim blaming. It is trying to be helpful to people that come after, by providing advice that may help avoid this type of event. Saying "this person would have been safer had they acted in this way" does not automatically mean "this person did something they should have known not to".
That works the other way too. You will also have a lot of people reporting they do not have ADHD or autism when they actually do.

What matters for those type of surveys is how many people report struggles. If someone struggle with attention but does not have the exact number of symptoms required for a formal diagnostic, they are still struggling.
I really don't see F# as being a lot like OCaml in any practical way.

It's like, if you're sitting in a hardware store having a hard time choosing between buying a Ryobi brand miter saw and a Ryobi brand power drill for your current project, maybe it's time to take a step back to better define what you're planning to do, and then come back to the store. Sure, since they're both Ryobis they do have a lot of things in common, but that doesn't mean you'd ever substitute one for the other.

I won't list every difference, because there's a lot, but, to an approximation, the intersection of their two feature lists looks more-or-less like SML's feature list.
The problem with Clubhouse that Clubhouse doesn’t want to admit is that it’s all about who’s talking. Nobody cares who’s listening.

Process/Fab errors?

24 cores of failure out of 1000 would be an error rate around 2%, which would help in yields.
Yep - there will definitely be a few losses, specifically in cooling tower drift (water droplets blowing out the top) and blowdown (water being expelled from tower to improve water purity). Luckily, our chemicals are all found in every day uses and not shown to have adverse environmental impacts. We definitely need to do more testing on this front to continue to build up our datasets, but our specific chemicals were selected to enable safe and widespread usage in cooling towers around the world.
Well on a macro scale American often tends to neglect the K-12 education, make college inaccessible due to costs and then think that some government retraining program whose duration is measured in months can turn X skilled labor force into members of Y knowledge/office worker force later in life.

For clarity I kind of want to say we neglect K-12 education funding, but compared to much of the world that's not true in terms of pure spending per head in the school. Perhaps more accurate we don't exactly get bang for our buck in many school systems.
If I’m looking at the same image that you are, the DE looks a lot like Lomiri (AKA Unity 8) but I’m not 100% sure.

Although I'm pretty satisfied with my current reader, and wasn't looking for a replacement, this looks really nice. It didn't require linking my Google account, OPML import worked instantly unlike on some other readers, the interface is nice, editing folders and feeds works through the main interface (rather than requiring a special menu)

I'm pretty sure this is what Feynman wouldn't do. What he would do is be extremely confrontational from the start if he had to be there, eg his army psychological assessment, or just walk out if he didn't. If there was one defining characteristic of the man on the subject it was not suffering this kind of foolishness.

Paying someone for their work isn't discrimination. It never is.

The visa process may be flawed, but putting the blame on the employer is... weird.
Definitely. I learned so much from playing Nintendo and computers. But I think spending 80 hours instead of 40 would have been negative.
Yes, good questions are important in order to convince a client (whether the project is hourly or fixed price).

> There's also risk that the developer they take the requirements + design doesn't really understand what they're getting into and can't execute.

Yes, and I've mentioned that. But what matters is if the client is aware of it or not.

Yes, you always want to aim for quality clients, still with all this planning and estimation, even with the best intentions I think that a lot of time gets wasted on lost bids.

> It's great when you get to charge for the planning phase though

Now that I think back, I had exactly one project like this, more than a decade ago. I've created the requirement specification based on client interviews, they paid for it then sent it to a few competing companies and all of us made a proposal. We didn't win it in the end, but at least that was a pretty fair and transparent process. (The company was owned by Deutsche Telekom, so it wasn't exactly an accident.)
Marktext isn't typora like WYSIWYG. It has a separate preview mode like so many other editors. Typora does it very differently.
The DoD's Industrial Capabilities report to Congress[1] that got posted on HN last week recommended exactly this:

> "Outside of the United States, foreign governments
and their citizens pay the lion’s share, one way
or another, of the cost of building the fab. The
companies do not. They take on the other massive
set of costs: running the fab. The hard truth is
that if the United States does not start doing the
same, our nation will continue to see its historically
low share of chip production continue to decline
to irrelevance."

> Why should web apps be inferior?

Inferior compared to what?

I'm not going to call your statement nonsense but unless you have proof that SPAs make up the majority of the websites/web apps online today, I'm afraid I must disagree.

Frontend dev is a hot mess of garbage JS cobbled together to make a psuedo native experience.

> but something that does something complex like let you manage inventory, do payroll, do your taxes, monitor sensors in real time, interact with geographical maps, or edit documents) that is done without JavaScript and has even OK UX.

This is not what the web was built for. The same things you mention dismissively (server side
Static pages) are the core and norm ,by and large, the vast majority of what constitutes "the web"

Good, lightweight native apps can do all the above without breaking a sweat, and you can have multiple native clients for things you care about. I don't always have an internet connection but I still want to type my documents. I fire up word. Not google docs. I need to do some serious data wrangling - I fire up excel not google sheets. Need to do some networking for my router, wireshark. Need to read an ebook - adobe acrobat. Need to write some shader code - Sublime text.

So the way it looks to me that SPAs are trinkets - not at all mission critical beyond loading cat pictures faster or bending the web backwards to do things it wasn't supposed to. Server side static pages rule the web.

Complexity is just a good way to justify a large paycheck.

Can confirm. Newpipe acting funky
If the cost (in terms of reputation) of printing a paper and subsequently retracting it is lower than the cost of rejecting the paper in the first place, a journal is actually better off printing a dodgy paper and then backtracking later. Ultimately these journals are money-making functions of a business enterprise so they'll usually do what they can to maximise profit rather than quality, apparently even if that hinders the science.
Let's not start a language pissing contest on HN of all places, please.
This is how I felt going through my university course. I knew I needed to learn a lot at the beginning but it felt like everyone was way ahead of me. This made me nervous to talk to anyone and it also made me anxious about my grades. I didn't want to come across as an idiot and therefore I started doing what you are doing, intense self study and keeping to myself. Two things came from this, one (a good thing), I pushed myself hard, got a good final grade and I learnt how to progress. Two (a bad thing) I never interacted with my peers and the stress at some points was unbearable.

My advice (looking back at my experience), be honest, if I had just dropped my act and accepted that other people were ahead of me and stopped the measuring I would have found out that there were others that felt just like me and there were lots of people that were more than happy to help (I found this out way too late!). You will also find that the stress will be relieved and your days will become easier. Just keep up the self study and still have hard goals set. If you take this advice and things don't get easier at work - then I would take a long look at the environment at whether or not I would want to continue working in it.
Intelligence is not about problem solving but understanding. I can explain some complex topic to someone less intelligent ten times in all the ways I can imagine it being explained, I can try to break it up into pieces, I can try to take the pieces even more slowly... but in the end, if the person does not have the capacity, they don't grasp the whole picture.

Oftentimes intelligence translates into speed: speed of understanding new concepts; speed of doing things, but far from always. In fact the latter is typically just practice, no matter how smart you are.
Different people like different parts of games.
Some people like games that are immersive and really long like skyrim.
Others like shorter games which are more cut down.

Other media example:
Some people love serial television, other love 2 hr movies.
Some people like both for different reasons.

It's okay for people to like what they want for whatever reason they have.

> how should I act in order to maintain my dignity but also be humble enough to acknowledge the co-worker's knowledge

There's no lack of dignity in asking questions and trying to improve oneself.

I've seen very smart and respected people asking basic questions during meetings (where I was trying to hide my ignorance... and thus not learning anything, which make things worse).

Remember you're a junior, so you're expected to know less than your expert colleagues.
"We don’t need crypto unicorns so much as we need diligent engineering to deploy the crypto we already have."

If we took this seriously, we would all still be using modified versions of DES, which, in a twisted way, we are. This isn't a good argument for ignoring new implementations of different cryptosystems.

"If a new crypto tool is first announced in a press release or popular science magazine, don’t use it."

This is far more accurate, but i'd extend this even further and define it as: "Don't use any new crypto." (Unless it comes from someone with high social influence in the sphere of cryptography research, of course)
You could check against bus drivers for instance.
"Turning a knob is impersonal and easy, but killing someone with your hands is neither."

Killing someone is extremely easy if the other person trust you. You get behind her and hit her with a heavy object in the head or in the nape.

If the pilot is busy doing something like piloting the plane, it is very easy for a copilot to get rid of her.
