I shouldn't have capitalized "maker" if that caused any confusion. I am not talking about any specific religion, but the metaphysical in general.

The point is, no matter if you believe that life-as-we-know-it is a creation of God or a result of millions and millions of an ongoing evolutionary process; it seems to me that a transhumanist core belief goes beyond the idea of "wanting to live healthy long lives" and that they can take control over their own nature.

It is this "wanting to take control over nature" that, put simply, reflects as an attempt to become a (lowercased) god. You don't need to think "I want to become God" to share that idea. A simple "I don't want to die" or "I want to enhance my intelectual capability beyond any natural limit" would be enough for me to claim the same thing as the author and I don't think it sensationalist in the slightest.
Worth noting that when I searched earlier there wasn’t an app actually called Monkey in the iOS store results.
I mean conversely at this point in the spam world I'm blocking anyone who doesn't give the phone number they're sending from. If I don't need to know who you are, you don't need to talk to me.
Same here. One of my accounts had zero activity, not a single tweet, like, following or follower. Yet it got suspended a few months after registration. A google search showed lots of others with the same issue.

I filed an appeal and they unsuspended it a week later.
I still have my first CPU, a 12MHz AMD 80286--which I realize is pretty 'new' but I'm only 43.
There's a configuration option you can enable which shows a message whenever the remote party changes their key (usually meaning they bought a new phone, in my limited experience), so it's not that silent. Yes, it's unfortunate that on WhatsApp this option defaults to disabled (to not confuse the newbies?), while on Signal (which uses the same protocol) this options defaults to enabled.
Claims aren't evidence.

Some of these "stolen" elections took place under Republican state administrations, supervised by Republican appointed election officials. WTF are these people doing if tens of thousands of votes are sneaking through the system and they can't find any evidence of it, and say themselves the election was fair?

Trump did exactly the same thing in 2016, claiming massive vote fraud and that the election was being stolen from him. Not only did he provide no evidence, but his own Justice department and subsequent administration was unable to find any evidence. If he really though the electoral system was so badly flawed, he had control of the House and Senate to do something about it, so why no voting reforms? If he actually believed his claims why didn't do something about it?

The truth is he didn't do anything because there's nothing to be done. He and his people know perfectly well the electoral system is fair, that's why they haven't bothered to reform it. There would be no point. In fact it would simply make them responsible for the voting system and thus unable to claim fraud anymore. Instead he's simply using claims of fraud as a tool to incite his supporters and avoid the ignominy of being a "loser". Something he has said many times he cannot tolerate.

Both his words and his actions show very clearly this is a pre-meditated attempt to undermine democracy in America.
The two port 13" always had 2x2, didn't it?

That said, I wouldn't necessarily expect the 16" MBP to have 3x3 either. Last time I checked, laptop oriented wifi6 3x3 chipsets didn't exist (though something may have shown up in the last few months)
You could try lodging a report:

Which Opera API are you talking about?

Isn't it just a wrapper for https://web.whatsapp.com/ ? I wouldn't call that an "API"
"Fear is Safety"
There's also this paper, which is quite good -

https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/hpa/...

Also there are simpler, xor-based encoding schemes that allow recovering from double failures (e.g. EvenOdd and such), but the problem is that they are all patented.
In France, SMS is still the most common, even though it is declining. I think it is historic: we had cheap unlimited SMS plans before internet data plans were common.

WhatsApp is popular but not a monopoly. Not really something to celebrate since its main "competitor" and #1 instant messenger app is Facebook Messenger. Skype and Discord are also significant, and I expect iMessage to be important too.
Awesome. Now they just have to define "pornography".
My experience is similar to yours, except it starts "I work at a game company...".
I know about "embarrassingly parallel" problems, and the thing is, they're only "embarrassingly parallel" to solve in math.

When programming the level of friction is from annoying to high unbearable, depending on the programming language. It should be trivial to implement these solutions, as trivial as the sequential solutions.

It's not. Until this is the case in mainstream programming languages, I doubt we'll have CPUs with 1000 cores in our smartphones or laptops. I mean, we'll have them but they'll be useless because 99% of software today is practically single-threaded. The reason multiple cores are good for laptops, for example, is because we're multi-tasking between multiple applications, not because those cores are frequently used by day-to-day apps. I'm talking about random small apps, not compute intensive ones that have to use multi-threading intensively (rendering, compiling, what have you, professional level software).
He's not just 10x, he's 0x10x.
Genome therapy is here, and has been for a while if you count car-t.

the other two are pipe dreams though.
Whenever I heard “Delphi”, I thought it was an ancient programming language that older colleagues used to mention (“... <anecdote> ... many moons ago, back when I used to program Delphi.”).

But so Delphi really is/was a GUI editor? Something like an ancient Qt Creator?
And according to Wikipedia it is not even a language but is using “Object Pascal”.
Wild.

I wonder why this never comes up when I read a out cross platform GUI frameworks...
The real problem is almost nobody cares and those who care, might end up giving up.

A messaging app is not like a personal app that you use on your own. Its value is not only in the software itself but also in the number of users. It took Telegram years to get 500 million users. Now people are being told, "switch to this other app, it's better", "look how many alternatives". How long would it take Signal to be an alternative to Telegram user-wise? And once they get there, some problem will pop up and then what? Do we migrate to a new app and wait 10 years to have almost all our friends there?
From ERCOT's materials:

Power system inertia is defined as the ability of a power system to oppose changes in system frequency due to resistance provided by rotating masses. The level of inertia present in a system at any time is dependent on the amount of kinetic energy stored in rotating masses of synchronously-interconnected machines, including various types of generators as well as synchronously operating motor loads.

See: http://www.ercot.com/content/wcm/key_documents_lists/141324/... (you may need a VPN to USA IP to access this)

Effectively, this is the amount of kinetic energy in the grid at any given point in time.
It's quite sad that Wire never made it mainstream and then was sold to a third party that isn't as trustworthy. They had great UX/UI both on mobile and on desktop early on. Used the same signal double ratchet and were originally owned by a Swiss entity. A real shame they didn't get the momentum they needed.
Not all libertarians, but many right-libertarians, certainly. (I have some wonderful left-libertarian friends.)

Anyone who ignores structural racism and espouses the policy positions that Murray does is either ignorant or racist. Murray, being a public figure whose ideas have had real impact on the material conditions of marginalized people, does not have the excuse of ignorance.

I'm speaking from personal experience here. I used to be on the right-libertarian train myself before I realized that oppression was primarily structural and that a laissez-faire approach always perpetuates it. I genuinely do not believe one can be non-racist and espouse Murray's policy positions once one understands this basic fact.

If you want to learn more about how welfare reform in the 1990s—something Murray influenced a great deal—affected millions of lives, I'd recommend the first season of a podcast called The Uncertain Hour.
I have a love-hate relationship with Delphi/Pascal. Love the language and what I can do with it. Hate the buggy IDE. Love that fpc is n open-source pascal compiler. Hate the the Lazarus IDE was difficult to use (when I last tried it a few years ago). Sad that so many comments talk about pascal in the past tense.
No diff, just do the re-lex and damage the tree on the boundaries of where the user typed. My techniques (also, see glitch) usually just assume change has happened since the reprocessing is incremental anyways and won't cascade if nothing has really changed (when reprocessing a tree, the parent is damaged if the end token changed, I guess you could call that a diff).
I wouldn't worry about it - if someone you interviewed with was staunchly anti-bitcoin, you could certainly claim you did it as you found it an interesting technical problem rather than being a "true believer".

But I suspect most people who are skeptical of bitcoin as a viable currency still think it's kind of neat technically, and would be impressed at you writing some (presumably good) code for it.
Any software that uses encryption. If you link to OpenSSL, or call out to /usr/bin/gpg, you're toast.
The group that made this is The Geometry Center at The University of Minnesota: http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/

Another one of their videos is "Not Knot": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AGLPbSMxSUM

But I can't find a link to their latest video, called "The Shape of Space".

This was made in 2004. I wonder how much easier it would be to do this with 16 years of advances in 3d modeling?

I wish it were more common...
I can think of a fairly rational reason for it.

In the case of airport screenings, it's pretty clear that cost >> benefit. Cost = sleazy govt employee looking/touching at my balls, and maybe saving the photos. Benefit = risk of death reduced by an amount less than 1 extra gym session per year.

In the case of the assorted wars, it's not as clear. Cost = visible casualties of real war in Afghanistan. Benefit = preventing the invisible casualties of 10-15 years more living under the Taliban + invisible civil wars that would have eventually overthrown the Taliban.

(Fun fact: on 9/12 or 9/13, shortly after Osama was labelled as the culprit, an Afghani friend IMed me. "I'm very sorry for what happened to your country, but this could be the greatest thing that ever happened to mine." He then expressed a hope that we wouldn't "pull a somalia".)
I'm working on something real. The trick for the overload:

1) http://jeffmiller.github.com/2010/07/23/a-cure-for-hacker-ne...
2) Never read it immediatly, use instapaper first, and only read at the end of the day.

- sometimes I just go take a peak, just like this story =)
Very interesting and wide ranging discussion. Lots of ideas in there too:

> Joe Armstrong: What I’d like to see and we don’t do is integrate the language within the revision control system because if you rename a variable, and you submit it to the revision control system and say "This is a completely different version of a completely different program but you just rely on the variable because there is no semantics at all just to make it a little bit more readable if you correct a spelling mistake in a comment." The revision control system is a sort of generic and applied to any programming language and that’s really stupid. They need to be much more smart to check what really happening, not this superficial stuff.

> Don Syme: So we’ll have Erlang RCS, Erlang specialized?

Early on, Joe Armstrong talks about Erlang being "object oriented". I don't really agree though, because by the time you actually get processes and things put together - especially with OTP - you have a lot of other stuff running underneath, so you're not just operating at a 'pure' level of sending messages back and forth. And there's lots of boilerplate too. However, it's still a good way of thinking about Erlang from an architectural point of view.
When you're a development manager and someone offers you some extra developers what'd you say? If you say no to more developers, then it's very easy for your decision to be blamed for the project failings. At some point, the decision is probably more about politics than increasing the likelihood of the project succeeding.
Does anyone know why the LSE purchased a company based in Sri Lanka for the work? I'm probably totally out of touch, but I would expect to find a company developing trading systems to be based near a major exchange (London, NY etc.).
Ah, there is a Colombo Exchange. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colombo_Stock_Exchange
The original was very off putting, it almost looked like a magazine subscription flyer. I can see why the revised version performed so much better.
Sometimes, I wonder what spammers dreamed of as children.
Yeah, I'd really enjoy some better multitasking/background stuff on the iPhone, I'm sure. Then again, I'm certain that there would be apps that would abuse it and drain the heck outta my battery.

Man, it would be nice if there was a system utility that showed how much of the battery each app drained, so you could keep track of the worst offenders. Even if just a good estimate, like % of processor time * amount drained while active.
It's something I've wanted to write for a long time, and that tweet finally spurred me to do it. Hadn't seen the HN thread though!
This reminds me of the time they got bands to play Rock Band with their own songs. They put them on expert mode and some of them failed.

The best was when the singer failed despite sounding identical to the track, since he was singing over himself.

I wish I could find that video.
Started to see groups hand sewing medical masks with the appropriate materials provided by the hospitals as a way of boosting production.

I know Disney had some forward work on fabric 3D printing, wondering if that will see a push in a new direction. A hospital able to “print” its own supplies seems useful to distribute the supply for emergencies.
Not a good time to be retired and depending on a stock portfolio for income.

To be young and contributing to the 401k.... not too bad.
Yes they have the power to compel a sale but the government has to pay. And the defense production act is not relevant to governors. Governors have sovereign executive power in their state including ordinary police power. The federal government does not ordinarily have that power which is why they need an act of congress.
What helps me is a mild anti-depressant. Ask your Dr to proscribe something cheap and mild. Coffee or tea helps a little but something a little stronger could help a lot. I speak from personal experience. It also helps to determine the very next step necessary to get something done. Be extremely explicit about that step. There is a vague "fear of the unknown" acting here.

Good luck
The timing isn't random. In an economy as debt-addled as ours, any time there is a major economic crisis the banking system is going to be exposed and require a massive bailout.

This is obvious to everyone, so it is either by design or the elites are indifferent to the situation.
Apparently the mechanisms to address mental health were largely disbanded in the 80s. Oddly this is when many financial oversights and regulations were also undone. It’s like Not A gets established, the ramifications are obviously bad, but A is never re-established.
It's true, but it's not so simple.

Imagine that you live in Italy, where only 24% of the population lives in cities with a population equal or larger than 250 thousand people.

Half of Italy is not flat and it's very hard using the bicycles to move, unless you are already expert and even for bikers (as in motorbikes) it's challenging going up and down the hills and mountains and usually they go in group.

Paradoxically around Milan (and in the city) they use bikes a lot, but it's also one of the most polluted areas in Italy because they also use cars a lot to move from or to Milan and other large cities, mainly to go to work or it's trucks moving goods.

You can't replace them with bikes.

You can't replace them with trains either, because regional trains are already at full capacity and Milan public transport already moves 800 million people/year (fun fact: the Milan public transport company ATM also operates the Copenhagen's subway).

Being on flat lands surrounded by high mountains also means that there are no regular winds cleaning up the air, so paradoxically biking is more dangerous for your health.

23% of the Italian population (13 million people) lives in cities with a population between 20 thousand and 59,999 people, the majority of towns in Italy (20% - 1,509 of them) have a population between 1,000 and 1,999 people and host 2.5 million people.

Those are the areas where they can't give up on cars, they have no alternatives, they have to use it daily for every activity: from groceries to work, school, church, etc.

They are usually near highways or heavy traffic roads, because many people move daily to go to larger cities for work, but also the areas where biking it's more of a challenge.

So it's a combination of long distances (people live away from cities because housing it's much cheaper), geography and older population.

I present you a sample of the area where my parents come from.

This video is fantastic, especially if you've never really understood how Unicode worked before. Keeps it simple and gets to the point.

I remember seeing this a couple of years ago and thinking "If only this existed when I learned about UTF-8, this would've saved me a lot of bad explanations and time".

This is now my goto-video if anyone asks me how Unicode works.
You're right, it's not that polite. "If Apple can develop a scaled process to review the millions of apps submitted to the Apple store, surely it is also capable of reviewing the few dozen multi-tenant domains that exist on the internet" is very passive-aggressive.
Ssh also has this problem to a greater extent and is very commonly used
Yeah - its a long time since I studied this kind of stuff but I'm pretty sure the Church–Turing thesis doesn't say anything about non-determinism or not - being more relevant to complexity than computability?
Sad that we have to do this. Trump supporters have been consistently pigeonholed by big tech censorship.
Probably should be though; they've not exactly covered themselves in glory today. Perhaps a bit of sunlight might help.
If you turn off your history them search for 3blue1brown, and maybe PBS spacetime, you'll get 3blue1brown in your suggestions
There were concealed guns everywhere on both sides this time, so not as surprising to me. Nobody wanted to start a bloodbath.
If they break the rules I'd be annoyed at them for giving twitter an excuse to ban them. Play by the rules.
> Railways were a powerful institution of British colonialism that facilitated the economic exploitation of colonies and a smooth control over its people.

A lot of people praise British for developing India. They don’t realize that everything they did was to maximize their imperial control and economic gain.
> You can say "we should adopt lifestyles that use cars _less_" without saying "we should adopt lifestyles that don't use cars".

Essentially nobody is willing to do either of these things so it doesn’t much matter which I say.
Anyway "considered redundant backup not necessary for level 2 autonomy" breaks the "all Teslas now have the HW required for full autonomy" promise. They should have told customers.
> There his pleads for censorship might be heard.

Oh don't worry the companies in the US have no problem to cave under pressure as well.
This is absolute nonsense. Of course nuclear can power up and down. Who told you it couldn't? The fuel costs of nuclear are a tiny tiny portion of the operating costs, so it's trivially easy to power on/off the reactor.

Also, the long distance transport costs for electricity are massive - can be 30% loss. Look at HydroQuebec. They massively overproduce just to transport over HUGE long distance power towers because of the huge losses - and that's only 500 miles.
This article and the discussion are the first time that I hear so many detailed positive comments about the current KDE keyboard shortcut configuration that I created in, like, 2007 :)

Global shortcuts existed before, but the implementation was different, and the configuration UI for both global and app-local shortcuts was different. I talked to a UX designer and implemented the new thing. In KDE3, there was conflict detection with a short, hardcoded list of shortcuts that didn't necessarily correspond to the actually configured shortcuts. I made it work with the real data (global shortcuts, standard shortcuts like copy & paste, maybe app-specific shortcuts of the current app). As always, the devil is in the details.
Other people made important improvements later.

One of the things that I added was a once-per-session component to remember and listen for global keyboard shortcuts, which, by luck, is exactly the right design for Wayland, where only a privileged part of system (either the compositor or a delegate) can snoop on key presses.
Totally agree that most software is probably better off without Haskell.

Most software is better off without C++, or Haskell, or Julia, or Nix for that matter.

But when every edge matters: one would be foolish not to reach for the sharpest knife that one can handle properly.
If you don't mind me asking, where do you keep your wealth then? Property? Commodities?
Porn addiction is a marketing gimmick from the sphere of „nofap“ and co snakeoil salesmen.
I don't really ever consider simplicity when choosing tech. I consider standardization.

If a text file is the standard, I'll use that unless there's a reason to do otherwise. If a million line framework is the standard, I'll start my search there.

Text files don't scale that well. Just try changing one value in a megabytes file. There's no tools for that really. You'll probably spam the disk with a megabyte of data every time.

SQLite is about as easy as text, and scales way better. And it already exists. All the complexity is not your problem. They don't even accept contributions.

I'm generally biased towards do it all systems if there's no major performance or development time penalty.

Complicated tech can be one size fits all and refined over the years. Simple tech encourages ad hoc solutions, pushing the complicated part into YOUR project instead of in an open standard with thousands of devs.
