This is a rather classic example of a comment that loads up premises with in-group language and conception, and thus if you engage with it, you only get positive results from the in-group, and the in-group can characterize dissent as simply ignoring "facts"

I believe the level of discourse on HN consistently avoids these over the last decade+ I've been here - one way to do that without falling into the trap of making you feel Othered is to encourage slow and steady argumentation - ex. characterizing this summers protests as "the black ""community"" totally flipping out and canonizing rapists and drug addicts" is loaded language, and worse for avoiding ingroup/outgroup dynamics, factually wrong at it's face: we know there were non-black "community" (what do the air quotes mean?) members that also protested.
Facebook users (at least a portion) seem to be incentivized by having a large, free social network. It is the advertisements which make it free to consumers. Facebook's monetization strategy may not align with your tastes, but most people have not problem using free services with ads. That said their customers over time are going to want to preserve more of their privacy and advertisers are going to expect the same effectiveness, Facebook is going to have to figure out how to please all parties.
I want government to do for me exactly what Apple just did.
To use your metaphor, if you jump out of a Boeing plane and land on a Boeing factory, it's not Boeing's fault that your parachute failed.
For a long time LFP prices stayed at $200-$300/kWh but mid-2020 new vendors with $100-$150/kWh delivered appeared.

I don't know the story behind these cells but so far no bad experience reported on youtube or forums.

Here is one of the first buyer who just measured his pack after 6 month of use:

My own comment deeper in the tree made me realize something, so I'm restating it at the top level. Basically the central misconception here, that Google is more than happy to leave unclear, is that Incognito Mode has ever been incognito. The only party not gathering data about your "incognito" browsing is you, i.e. the only party to whom that browsing is incognito (unknown), is you. (Oh and anyone who were to use your computer and your login to view your browsing history; that's the flimsy pretext that prevents it from being a complete lie.)

In my other comment I joked that since you're basically wandering around forgetting where you've been, it should be called Forgetful Mode, and the icon should be, instead of a spy, an old man hunched over with a cane and little dots and curliques surrounding his head indicating a diffuse cognitive state. He doesn't remember where he's been! But don't worry, his caretakers will remember.
I’ll have to dust off my blender donut!
It is like the "Evil Bit" in rfc3514[0]. But if thus judge forces DNT on Incognito to be honored by Google, it could result in some adoption?

According to the blog post, the admings of those organizations were also notified a year ago minus a few weeks:

> We will contact impacted institutions directly in the coming weeks to discuss a range of options for getting the storage they need

Given the quota model, it doesn't seem like notifying individual users would have made sense. It doesn't sound like the original poster would have been a domain admin.
M1 pro/max has huge memory bandwidth (including L1, L2 and DDR: 102GB/s), I guess it helps compression faster than x86?

Firefox, Chromium, and WebKit all support VAAPI on Linux but often require extra config/flags/packages. Closer to working out of the box though.
My wife teaches people to ride horses for a living so we talk about the safety of that.

You hear a lot about people who get seriously injured riding who are often professionals or people who ride competitively at a high level. They are doing dangerous things and doing a lot of them.

We don't think it is that dangerous for people who ride at the level we do, out of maybe 15 years we've had one broken bone.

The other day I noticed that we had acquired a used horse blanket from another barn in the area which is a running joke at our barn because of their bad safety culture. They are a "better" barn than ours in that they are attached to the show circuit at a higher level than the bottom, but we are always hearing about crazy accidents that happen there. When I was learning to ride there they had a confusing situation almost like

https://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19810217-...

with too many lessons going on at once where I wound up going over a jump by accident after a "near miss" in which I almost did. (I never thought I could go over a jump and survive, as it was I had about two seconds to figure out that I had to trust the horse and hang on and I did alright...)
A lot of people lost a lot of money shorting Tesla, or currently hold short positions, and will grind their ax in any context where it's even vaguely relevant.

A lot of people simply don't realize that human drivers kill each other by tens of thousands per annum in the US alone, so there's a lot of room for self-driving technology to do a lot of good.

A lot of people are unhappy at being used as unwitting beta testers simply by virtue of having to share the road with beta FSD systems. They have a point, but see the previous one.

Finally, a lot of people question some of the engineering practices at Tesla, such as their refusal to incorporate multiple sensor inputs as failsafes. I'd fall into that category, personally.
Not to mention that "take two aspirin and let me know if it doesn't get better" is probably literally the best way to handle a case that could be something serious, but there's no way to feasibly discern yet whether it is something serious. Obviously the specifics of this type of scenario can change over time, e.g. if MRIs or CT scans became very cheap and easy to administer, I suspect they would become part of these routine exams.
Yes, and even the Python documentation has lots of holes in them.

I'd often like a stronger emphasis on the types of arguments and what gets returned.
Do you suppose that there is a chance that one (or more) of the clerks for the court reads Groklaw?
What is "pairing"?
I'm somewhat doubtful that 'mastering' Software Engineering is possible.

You wouldn't ask what it looks like to master the practice of medicine today because there are dozens or hundreds of specialities and roles all of which contribute to medicine.

Firmware engineering and 'agile' website development are very different practices with different assumptions, requirements, etc. I wouldn't expect someone to master both web development and video encoder development just like I wouldn't expect a doctor to be a master pancreatic surgeon and develop vaccines.

On the other hand there is a 'journeyman' level of software development and engineering skill that carries over between different development areas. It's definitely not algorithmic interviews though.
Its seems to be a promising solution. The experience I have had with it while they've been starting up has been positive.
Groupon needed a ton of boots on the ground because no one knew who Groupon was and they didn't have existing relationships with millions of businesses. I think Google could automate a lot of it with good results.
That's an issue with one service in one region offered by Amazon Web Services, not "the cloud" as a concept.

Use this as an example of the reliability of EBS (or if you want to broaden the scope, Amazon Web Services) all you want, but this says nothing about "the cloud" as a concept.
I read this for the first time today. I have to say I'm not blown away. Don't get me wrong, I'm a ACC fan. I'm not sure what makes other commentators think something like this is within the realm of scientific possibility. It is fantastic, generally underwhelming and the quality of writing isn't topnotch either.

Asimov's 'Last Question' bakes in notions of (super)computing, infinity, Gaia, big bang, the laws of energy and singularity with an astoundingly little amount of ink. At the other end of the spectrum, Borges' 'Library of Babel' is a spectacular and in my mind the definitive work on sci-fi magic realism, even inspiring the likes of Umberto Eco. Goosebumps galore.

This one is decent, but comparing to the aforementioned pieces of work is, IMHO, poor form.
Yeah I looked into that a while back, but to be honest I wasn't looking for a re-invented wheel, plus haml is a bit to reliant on white-space and tab indenting for my liking.

I made this to be more of a slight improvement on HTML as opposed to a whole new way of marking up sites.
Really original branding.

I'm sorry, designing your service without taking in to account the SLA is just stupid. See how Netflix survived the failure for example.

Now if you understand the SLA and still choose not to do cross-region deployments, then you've taken a cost/complexity vs uptime trade-off, which may well be right for you. quora.com probably is ok - who cares if its down for a day?
I did use a thinkpad X1 for a long time some years ago, I actually want to go back to an X1, it is the best alternative. But honestly, if I go back to it would be making a good bunch of trade-offs as well and mostly to satisfy my inner wish of using Linux and Open Source software instead of Macos.

But still:

1) After a few months, the screen of the thinkpad started to get permanent scratches from the keyboards. This is a common problem, see [1]

2) The keyboard is better, totally agree. But the trackpad is much, much worse. I managed to adapt to the bad keyboard on the mac, I didn't manage to adapt to the trackpad on the X1.

3) The quality of the screen has no point of comparisson. Color gamut, calibration, resolution, etc. I like the WQHD screen, but it is not available for the X1 on many countrie outside the US. In my country (Spain) you only have the UHD which is a fantastic battery draining mirror or the FHD which reminds me of the nintendo 64 when looking at it. Let's not talk about scaling hi dpi resolutions, and deciding if using Wayland or Xorg so that I can plug an external screen with different resolution, etc.

4)Battery usage is not as optimized

5) I think nowadays this is better, but at the time (around 3 or 4 years afgo) I had lots of problems on Linux with bluetooth, resuming after suspending, and the fingerprint reader. Hopefully this has improved since then.

6) Price wise, they are as expensive as an equivalent macbook

A being "good" or "bad" has a lot of aspects to it. It is not just "It has the same CPU freq and the same amount of memory then they are equivalent" (not what you're saying but something many say when doing this comparison). Build quality matters, integration/support with the operating system matters, support matters, upgradeability matters, resale value matters.

And also, just compare the f*ng mess the Lenovo website is. Every time I think about going back to thinkpad, browsing such a terrible, slow, clunky, outdated, terrible thought out website makes me regret it and just close the tab.

Indeed. I still feel like there must be some sort of agency somewhere that will do this type of work though. It might cost a pretty penny, but it can't be impossible to find..
"Bought out" is a common enough way to describe any company sale. "Sold itself" introduces way more unnecessary sub-textual baggage just by being a more unusual construction.
I agree that it needs an About or an FAQ page describing the service. I sort of guessed what it does by the tagline "same tweet, same time," but I shouldn't have to. If I'm right about what I think it does though, it's really neat idea.
It will send that message, from all the accounts when the goal is reached. There are 2 types of goals, number of people of a specific date/time.
More specifically, this is a list of things that iStockPhoto could get in trouble for if they tried to sell photos of them. Many of these are fine for photographing for personal use, others are fine if you get permission. Some are only a problem if you try to use them in certain jurisdictions.

And it's entirely possible that some of these subjects are completely legal to photograph and use for any purpose, except that there is some loud/litigious party that objects, and iStockPhoto doesn't care to contest their claims.
To start with, let me control everything through a web browser. The usability of our heating system is appalling.
As Regina says in Mean Girls, "Stop trying to make (Bitcoin) happen. It's not going to happen."

His ethical behaviour aside, which is hard to judge if you don't know him personally, given his track record it is likely that he can open many doors to politicians and/or other relevant people in the financial industry.

This is something a company like Coinbase desperately needs, if it wants to have a say in future Bitcoin regulation that will inevitably be introduced at some point in the future.

I can personally see the value of having someone like that on board.
did he also predate communal places such as eateries and libraries? or just you predate jokes?

You can't even get the most basic information correct. It's hard to take anything you say seriously.

Formed in 2004, first meeting in March 2006 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy_and_Civil_Liberties_Ove...).

My point is that the government cannot be expected to competently judge itself. That is our task as citizens, if you want to use those reports as the basis of your ill-informed opinion, go ahead.
In a truly dynamic environment there should be more opportunity to figure out where you can best contribute as a team member. (Work is about more than simple technology.)

Maybe you're blocked in some areas, but are there others where you can help with your unique combination of knowledge and experience?

It doesn't even have to be directed at the core of the project. Some teams aren't good at creating infrastructure; maybe there's a need in the areas of documentation, devops, or bug tracking and fixing. Stuff others don't want to touch.

Consider starting there. (And always be thinking about your next move.)
Inflation (at least in it's common usage) tracks the price of goods, not the supply of currency. While those traditionally affect each other strongly you cannot say that bitcoin has a stable or well defined inflation/deflation curve because the price of goods denoted in bitcoin are extremely volatile.

You can say that the monetary supply is very predictable, but that doesn't do much good if the price of goods fluctuate.
The one trillion ones are more rare, as Germany if I recall correctly stopped printing them for Zimbabwe soon afterwards.

At one point I had a hundred stack of them somewhere.
> The idea that replacing something that’s been around for ~50 years will solve a Millenia long problem of humanity’s is just funny.

Is it? Communicating over distance was a problem we've had for millenia (or much longer) and it's now solved. Technology is amazing and we hit an inflection point last century. We're essentially already living in a post-humanity world, and crypto is the currency to match.
To put it plainly: we need more trees.

However, trees cannot get us all the way there. Trees are great for drawing down atmospheric carbon emissions in the short-term, but when trees decompose, they just release that carbon back into the atmosphere. Additionally, the landmass and water needed to sustain all these trees will require another solution to get all of the way to where we need to be with carbon removal.
> You go to some cryptocurrency hangout, pay some stranger a hundred bucks in cash and they transfer a hundred bucks in Bitcoin to your wallet. You go pay for a VPN with it. Then everybody can see that A transferred money to B and B transferred money to C, but nobody knows that you're B

Nobody? Some stranger from above knows that you're B!
Then what was lrossi referring to when he (?) said:

>>> The ability to pause a thread from outside is interesting, but it doesn’t seem very useful in general.

>>> It also comes with risks. What if it’s holding a lock? That could cause a performance/latency disaster.

Which you replied to, not claiming that it couldn't be paused from outside, but instead that the lock risk was just the same as returning from a function.
Super fun to read these updates. Whenever I read about their update, its kind of bittersweet because this is exactly what I expected of the Ubuntu phone that Canonical killed prematurely.
> Lots of self-important people talking about why they're important

Taking a page from the LinkedIn playbook

I like how using AWS is a con. They should be avoided after their deplatforming of Parler. Cant be trusted
I hadn't heard of Mishima before this, but I did get the distinct impression from reading that article that they were lionizing a fascist.
Answers to those questions are not yet known. The price competition between different cryptocurrencies should be the necessary market mechanism. Someone has to pay the price of mining, and if mining is not necessary, then it's not going to be paid. If it can be proven that the same security can be achieved with less mining, then either the Bitcoin protocol is updated, or a Bitcoin fork will become more valuable (and that fork will be named Bitcoin).

There are lots of cryptocurrencies which have infinite supply, which means that the mining rewards will keep the network running. For example Ethereum, Monero, Dogecoin and Grin. Bitcoin will rely on transaction costs, but it doesn't provide fully deterministic security as far as I know.
The fact that you're saying it shouldn't raise eyebrows implies that you know it raises at least some eyebrows. So I ask again: why are you asking a question that you know could raise some eyebrows when you could have asked one that wouldn't have raised any?

You can't ask a politically-charged question in a class that has nothing to do with politics and then act surprised when people accuse you of injecting politics where it doesn't belong.
or just use Podman.
I started going gray in my mid 20's, and I made a similar choice. I just accepted that this is how its gonna be, and came to terms with it, not that I dont go out of my way to minimize it now that I'm in my late 30's thru hair cuts. But I dont bother with dye or any of that.
Tbh I would like to see some calculations of how much helium there is in the drive, a quick bit of napkin math makes it seem like you can make around 5*10^10 drives with the gas from a single field in the US on a single day, assuming that it is at 1 atm pressure, though I don't think that would move much more than one order of magnitude at most. Though your other point still stands.
For me it's about 4 hours
jwz seems to have a lot of hate in his heart, plenty to go around for everybody. He's a great developer, but it's rare for me to read anything he has written that doesn't come off as abrasive.

But how would you know this? All you know is that the 'software' was compromised and the data leaked. Do you think the initial blame will go to the right place or just the company after all? You won't always figure out how something was definitely compromised. You'll look around and definitely find bugs in the software though.
In addition to the other commenter's suggestion, some people may simply find it reprehensible to defend the sweeping under the rug of a state-sponsored violent chainsaw murder of a WaPo journalist for the sake of realpolitik.

Lots of grey comments all over in this thread. Not a very balanced discussion...Or maybe balanced in how much everyone is downvoting one another?
I also wish for extensible enums and enum subset:

pub enum Expr2 : Expr{

Except Do Not Track basically died in 2018. [1] The W3C abandoned trying to standardize it, and virtually no websites pay attention to it, because the legislative efforts behind it fell apart. It's merely a "feel good" HTTP header that does virtually nothing whatsoever in practice.

I also disagree that "any reasonable person" would expect the header to be used in private browsing. Safari invented private browsing in 2005, and Chrome Incognito mode launched in 2008. Do Not Track didn't even exist as a concept back then.

Incognito mode was never intended to be anti-tracking. It's only ever been intended to hide your browsing history locally, e.g. from family members.

Tracking protection has an entirely different purpose. And if you want protection from tracking, you'd presumably want it in all windows, not just incognito windows, right?

These are the important issues to be kept separate. Anti-tracking is something that should be consistent across all browser windows. It has nothing to do with Incognito. Incognito is about not saving browser history locally. Totally separate.

Can it be that Biden and his administration are doing this not just for the PR, but because they may yet have principles they live by? I can't say, I don't know their heart.

Nevertheless, I want our country to alienate other countries whose heads of state order journalists strangled or murdered by any other means. I want to live in a society like that. I want that even if I know my American government is hardly free from guilt.
Why not have a pointer nib, its the reason I've continued to use ibm and now lenovo laptops. Trackpads are RSI inducing.
Why shouldn't they? It makes their password retrieval process so much easier! ;)
Well, wait. You've jumped one step ahead of me here, by asserting the following implication:

You develop a familial bond if and only if you have introduced an child as a family member.

Is this a necessary condition? If so, I suspect we are stuck until we revise one or both of our working definitions of family.
