Who is in the foundation and what does the governance look like? Is there a plan to expand governance to the community?

I know the next question is signal specific but do you have any details on how they'll maintain privacy for pegging which is likely just to require an on/off ramp. Surely this is just no better if the majority of transactions have an associated log on an exchange?
It's a conflict of interest but also in a different way than he says: deficit countries want to devalue their currencies to boost exports (and make imports more expensive), but they have no central bank to print money. Guess who benefits from that: surplus countries like Germany, which are perfectly content with having Greeks buy their exports in €.
Unfortunately the iPhone port of Monkey Island has an awkward interface, where the screen functions as sort of a trackpad for a cursor. (Full disclosure: I've been working on a made-for-iPhone adventure, so I'm probably predisposed to be critical of interface shoehorning. Monkey Island on a phone is still a very good thing.)
The purpose of this (arguably horrible) tracker is not to ask for features but to report bugs.
I am not sure that Android fans should be their target group for their future developments either. This is a very niche group and I highly doubt that their preoccupations closely match those of the average Android user.
New York hasn't been a legitimate art scene for ages.

To the down-voters, I'd love to hear you name a significant art movement to specifically come out of NYC in the last 30 years.
How can the journalist reliably evaluate who "Lizard Squad" is aligned with, especially with them repeatedly claiming to support ISIS?
> Otherwise... hey journalists, I am literally the second coming of Jesus, you guys should interview me and tell people I'm the Son of God.

Right, and in that case the article would probably read "potatolicious, who claims to be the second coming of Jesus..." *

Their claim of alignment with ISIS is, in itself, a part of the story. They are reporting that the claims have been made, not that the claims are factually correct.

* This actually happened on British TV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlSj_imnv7o
Would it be fair to say that he collaborates with the 5-6 chefs he is over? I believe in the documentary he says his team does 95% of the work before he makes the dish in front of the customers. In addition, that 95% they are doing he taught them how to do.
I am guessing it refers to the number of people who are registered as Republican in the US [1].

I'd quibble about the 'vocal' part, however. People across the ideological spectrum are vocal, but it's probably more like 1% or less, not 30%. Our views are shaped by the few people who bother to say anything. I wonder if we'd be happier if everyone else could remember that.

> I think people from at least some countries of the world would disagree with you about communism being dead

Possibly, but to me in the West I don't feel like there's any remotely plausible threat of communists coming to power in my country or any Western country that I know of.

> On the other hand, almost every western country has a socialist party in their respective parliament

I know I'm probably talking to an American here so I guess there's a reasonable chance that everything that isn't libertarian hyper-capitalism is literally Juche communism, but in reality, these mainstream so-called "socialist parties" in the West are overwhelmingly liberal in character. There are exceptions, such as Die Linke in Germany, and yeah I find them pretty vile, but they're mostly irrelevant. For example, I am British and our mainstream opposition party is nominally "socialist" but in actual fact fundamentally liberal and not at all about the overthrow of capitalism.

> As liberal doesn't it bother you that ideas which were the cause of so much misery in the world when implemented in communist countries are still being recycled over and over in parliaments of western countries

For the aforementioned reasons, where European "socialist" parties are more about making capitalism a little bit less American/cutthroat/fuck-you-I-got-mine, rather than literal democratic ownership of the means of production, no, not really. Europe is fundamentally capitalist and liberal.
I guess this about the large amount of research that has come out of things like https://ki.se/en/research/the-swedish-twin-registry - hence the comment from a Swedish geneticist in the article.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_Twin_Registry

> The Swedish Twin Registry (abbreviated STR) is a twin registry based at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden. Originally established in the 1960s, it is the largest twin registry in the world. It is widely used for medical research, with about thirty active research projects using data from the study as of 2019. As of 2012, it contained a total of 194,000 twins, 75,000 of whom were of a known zygosity. In principle, it contains records of every twin born in Sweden since 1886.

You dont think a trump supporter tweeting "Let's just execute all right wing conservatives and get it over with!" as a reply to someone else (another trump supporter) matters?

Its almost as if you just searched for the phrase execute all conservatives but didn't actually read any of them.
What good does that do you if the best hardware is locked down and they won't allow decentralized apps, though?

If the web were invented today, there's not a chance in hell Apple would approve a web browser as an app. If you really think about that, I think you'll agree that current app store policies are harmful to innovation and harmful to society as a whole.

At the end of the day, tech can only get you so far. You need to have a broader societal acceptance of a norm of freedom.

The US is trending, quite radically, in the opposite direction.
I'm downvoting you because you know the answer to those questions. You know exactly what speech is protected by the 1st and what isn't. Parler is not removing illegal speech, therefore their apps are being taken down. It's pretty simple.
It's a terrible decision. These used to be apolitical platforms. They're way too big to abruptly change and force a particular political view (far left) onto everyone else. Congress should break them up until there are 6 or 7 competing app stores the way we have multiple cable news stations.
To tell the truth, I've put my home location on the NOAA .gov website on my home screen and I generally prefer that to any of the apps I've found.
in the near term, companies making iPhone and iPad competitors are never going to beat Apple at their own game.

We must then assume that Android is playing some other game. Either that, or he is simply ignoring large facts that don't fit his narrative.

I would say a bit of both - Android is different ecosystem, but to ignore Android's market impact in smart-phones is negligent.
Nope, suppose to be white.

I'm guessing you're browser is automatically creating a link to that phone number and using some default stylesheet. What browser are you seeing that?
People seem to underestimate what a unique product the iPad is: a consumer product that has been build to the highest standards of engineering and design, and would have been totally credible as a high end luxury product at three times the price.

Yet it competes on price, unsubsidized.
It might be average salary.
I honestly thought this was meant to be a joke or sarcastic or something. Unfortunately it wasn't, and this really highlights to me a growing feeling I've had since iOS first launched that all of our best talent is working on absolutely the worst and most boring ideas. In other words, being completely wasted.

There are SO many calculators, to-do, and weather apps. This wouldn't normally be a problem if it wasn't for the fact that many actual great developers and designers are working on these too. Why would anyone with this kind of talent consider making a weather app? Even if its the best weather app in the universe, its still just the best weather app in the universe. It's as ridiculous as fantasizing about owning the weather channel.

This is why we end up with apps that are all form over function, because there's no problem left to solve, just minor quibbles and preferences to satisfy ("oh I wish the to-do app had projects AND sub projects!").

You can view the weather ONLINE. Yes, perhaps there is a magical experience someone may be able to bring to the weather, but that's missing the point. The point is that weather, and to-do, and calendaring, and calculators, are all solved problems, and while they can be done better there exist a whole slew of new apps that no one has imagined possible before on touch and mobile thanks to iPhone and iPad.

I say this because I respect these developers and I know they're capable of so much more. Just look at GarageBand. More people should be thinking about the next GarageBand.
I REALLY like "The Weather". It was a rocky launch, but it has really matured and is great.

I’m tired of people complaining about FREE applications.

Services should be paid for. If signal were what you want, exactly, why not pay an app fee or a small yearly fee?
Find jobs that don't require that nonsense. They do exist. I don't have weekly meetings, and haven't seen my co-workers either physically or on a screen in over a year.
No, he wants to do this, has wanted to do this for a long time.
Thorium is also considered to be the fuel candidate for the safest form of nuclear reactor.

From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorium-based_nuclear_power

"Weinberg realized that you could use thorium in an entirely new kind of reactor, one that would have zero risk of meltdown. ... his team built a working reactor .... and he spent the rest of his 18-year tenure trying to make thorium the heart of the nation’s atomic power effort. He failed. Uranium reactors had already been established, and Hyman Rickover, de facto head of the US nuclear program, wanted the plutonium from uranium-powered nuclear plants to make bombs. Increasingly shunted aside, Weinberg was finally forced out in 1973."
Hotspot can cache generated binary code across runs since Java 11, but people keep using Java 8....
I'm not sure why you keep bringing up "leftist", perhaps a parent comment was edited but it looks like you're the only one who has used that term to describe Destiny here and the original characterization of him as an anti-racist liberal is 100% accurate by both the American and polysci usage of the term.
I dunno, I tend to regard property damage and murder to be different things. I have been surprised to see how many people disagree, and I'm still trying to understand that perspective.
I think that's precisely according to intentions. Either they're separate entities with separate domains, or they're run by the same entity and get the same entropy.

> Soon, these sites won't be able to run ads that track purchases, unless franchise.com is added to this list.

They still can, though, right? Just that they don't get more bits than if they had everything on one site. It's just that they can't "eat the cake and have it".
My fiancé's phone habit (Instagram, TikTok) is seriously hurting her potential to find a job and our relationship. I've tried to talk to her about it but the discussions never end well. I don't know what to do.
I read once that when it comes to natural languages, children learn the grammatical rules of a given language in essentially the same order. The author of the book was arguing that the brain is most receptive to learning if you follow this sequence, and it is difficult to absorb a concept introduced out of sequence.

So I don’t know if anyone has studied this with programming but I suppose every course and book that chooses the order of topics becomes an experiment in how well the brain absorbs concepts in that order. Find the highest rated programming material of any language and take note of its table of contents.

Personally, when I got started I learned by modifying existing programs, mostly games. I started fiddling with constant values (say, gravity). Then finding calculations and tweaking them (odds of a reward for defeating an enemy). It’s a lot more fun than starting from “Hello world”; I’ve always wanted an assignment series based on hacking on an open source RPG.
Maybe I’m crazy but I don’t want to be tracked and I don’t want my purchase to be linked to an ad click* - I don’t want to be tracked so stop it?

*I haven’t clicked on an ad in a decade so I’m probably not the target audience
that's actually quite an easy mistake to make if the taskbar is not locked, just dragging it to one of the corners of the screen moves it
The no means of escape from NYC was what I could never handle (so got a bike, motorcycle, car and eventually just moved out) but there are many people who grew up in big cities for whom the endless concrete blocks is just the normal environment, though I think its kind of sad.
As an H1-B I can say that I'm paid the local market salary for my skillset. And so is my wife.
Or, uh, Stickies <blushes, hides head in shame>
I completely agree. I know from my experience that if I could have just put in my normal Google Apps email and pushed everything through Wave, I would never look back. The fact that it was a self-contained, closed system killed a lot of its usefulness.
I don't disagree, but getting fired can be hard on the cash flow.
Updated from 1.4.2 today, 1.4.4 is not available in google apis yet- $('select option[selected]') no longer returns empty string, instead, undefined is returned when no selected option is in list; be careful of any broken scripts.
Yes, non-chunked undo is the dealbreaker for me as well. I remember reading Allan saying he was surprised that people cared about this, but that it would be implemented as an option in Textmate 2.

Google is the only one I use constantly. I've been on Amazon this out of curiosity to see what people said about a book I disliked, but haven't bought anything from them in years. Facebook? No. Twitter? No.
I just misunderstand the meaning of the word "work".I intepreted it as a verb meaning dosn't operate normally. After reread other people's comment. I realized it's meaning : similar to the job.
Who has the incentive to buy it at that price point?
Seems overvalued. I mean, it's a game developer. There is no secret sauce in what they do, no secret list of customers, no hack with serious monetary value... There is an academic value to competitors, I guess, and maybe a value to scammers (employees' personal details) but that's basically it.

Edit: twitter thread says they are "selling immediately for $7m". I'd be very surprised if they found a buyer at that price.
Started strong, then the anti-capitalist rhetoric was too much for me.

There's higher friction in industries to switching to cheaper electricity?

But the question still stands: Is Argentina-levels of energy (now) whether "clean" or not, equal to not using something based around PoW and the inevitable burning of energy.

(IMO) It's bad by design.
You can just run: `npx localtunnel --port 3000 --subdomain hello` no installation or anything else needed
Pretty much learned c via this back in the day. It feels like it was in the 90s, but might have been early 2000s

edit: it was the 90s
Curiously I find the opposite: home-row typing, or using wrist rests etc and keeping my hands static, cause me quite bad RSI. Instead I use a very "floating" style of typing where my hands move very freely over the keyboard, kinda like playing the piano.
M1 runs x86 apps through Rosetta 2. It works very well in my experience.
Have you tried Startpage? I've found results to be much more favourable
Interesting comment; in my experience 49.9% is worth a lot less than 50.1%, in fact, I once sold out a minority stake in a company I had originally retained majority ownership. My council told me typical valuation cut for a minority, non-controlling share was like half.

This implies to me you should really shoot for 50%, and make sure you like your joint decision-making process. Of course when you get some funding in, one of you will have to agree with investors to force something through the chain.
Can we remove the editorializing from the headline?
That makes a lot of sense.

Are there any major PC manufacturers that ship with Ubuntu? I imagine the day you go to Sams and buy an Ubuntu system will be a big milestone for Linux.
I never run gvim, are there any real advantages that I am missing?

On the server I just install vim and scp -r .vim* to the server on the desktop I spend most of the time using emacs and only vim when I don't have emacs open and need to do a quick edit.

Tramp mode as stated is painfully slow and emacs doesn't really work for me in terminals as well as vim.
Why did you link to apps.ycombinator.com rather than news.ycombinator.com?
Sound like you need 2 apps, one: the teacher's assistant app
that the kid works with and a second app that monitor's the analytics of the students progress real time so instead of
working one on one with the kid you can work with multiple
kids with different hours and with different study paces all
at the same time. Teachers and parents can review the progress from a overview level and direct accordingly.
Allowing AMAs is a slippery slope toward TILs and YSKs.
Most of the article talks about stuff dating way-prior to 1982. And the economics described still apply today.
Wow, its nice to see SproutRobot featured on Techcrunch. I hope it goes well for you, and I would like to see a follow-up on what kind of results you get from the Techcrunch feature.
I've fixed the error.

JSGI (the interface spec) and Jack (the port of Rack) already do this for multiple JavaScript platforms, including Node (via Kris Zyp's http://github.com/kriszyp/jsgi-node): http://jackjs.org/
Have a curious question. What is morality? I mean how do I explain that e.g. to a machine? I have no background in AI or psychology but taking this research.

Definition of morality, e.g. "concern with the distinction between good and evil or right and wrong; right or good conduct"

So if we have morality which is in one part the outcome of a situation what is the other part which makes up morality?

Morality = Outcome + X

What do you think?
I don't think so mate as they have offer an ISO image + XP for example for developers, but Spoon was so much easier!
It may not be that big a task. How much code do you really need to run a container instance? If you could get an airtight Xen-like system, you might not need much of an OS inside each container. Xen already does memory allocation, CPU dispatching, I/O handling, timer handling, and message passing, which is all an OS really needs.

Rust programs running on "libnative" do not, I think, use "libc" any more.

I believe it would be ~9 * 3.5(i.e. fx_rate/ppp)= ~31.5 cents and not 1.91 USD.
It's messy right? I mean you aren't buying global data, you are buying data delivered in a particular town. Some of the costs of providing it are all about the location (e.g. renting land to put up towers) and some aren't at all (e.g. the networking hardware), so it still seems very impressive that they can do it this cheaply.

How is security taken care of when contributions are being done by Huawei (backdoors in 41k lines of sourcode?)? But I am guessing there is no real fight between open source software and state actors - perhaps someone who knows more about the security of the kernel can comment.
Cool article.

He doesn’t really deliver any “wise mountaintop guru” stuff, though.

Just shows that good old-fashioned common sense is timeless (and distressingly rare).

No, no reason why I chose arrays, it's just a first cut. I was thinking of converting the representation for objects as the meaning of the three possible elements isn't explicit at the moment.
Gems are super simple once you get the hang of it. Look into installing RVM[0]. It will let you manage multiple versions of ruby at once. Also get familiar with Bundler[1] and watch the Rails 3 screencast[2] that explains it.

it is programatically locked to 10fps I do believe. They even say specifically that is what it runs at.
If he is as successful as Rails, one of the biggest impacts he'll have is the creation of a hundred other frameworks in other languages.

Also, the "I don't want no glue" line is a lie. Any such framework to coerce Web Development into a single language is all glue, all the time.

Further, he has a marketing problem. Most seasoned developers probably will not flock to a framework that prevents them from writing their own HTML/CSS/JS/SQL, so he'll have to grow his user base on people who haven't been programmers for long.
I hate Jennifer Newman's slot desk. It looks like she stole pieces off of $50 ikea desks.

I work with aluminium, you can do a lot of elegance with it and hers is just awful construction with no effort put in.
The only reason I would not open source my project is the ugly code I wrote.
Well said.

Another benefit of open sourcing specific modules and libraries is that you can share your complementary code without exposing or commoditizing your core technology. Github is a perfect example of this - they open pieces that are helpful to other developers, but not enough that somebody could clone their site or compete with them.
So, as we have said before and will doubtless have to say again, Hacker News is a lousy forum for political teambuilding and logrolling. It's not designed for that, at all. So we discourage political discussions here.

There are actions one can take to defend one's civil liberties. Joining the ACLU and the EFF and sending them money. Writing letters to local and national political figures. Voting out people who don't care about civil liberties, and raising money for their opponents. Practicing civil disobedience. Organizing and contributing to effective protests. Many of these are praiseworthy things, productive things, but they are also exactly what we mean by "politics", and they're not what we do on Hacker News. They are what Facebook, mailing lists, political blogs, newspaper editorial pages and comment sections, and most of the rest of the web is for.
