Sorry, I don't want to be too negative but I find your sentiment very naive and self-centred.

If you're well off now you'll be fine. If you're decently off in a wealthy country you'll be fine too. If you're one of the precariously employed and healthcare-less workers in a country like the US you will suffer and might die. If you are a precariously employed person in a poor country you'll watch many friends and family die.

Think what happens in Italy, a country with one of the best healthcare systems in the world, hitting South Sudan. Don't confuse your reality with how it will hit the rest of the world.
"... and about dispatching her daughter to the Coin Cafe A.T.M. at the 11th hour."

I agree about the snarkiness though.
> Neat island, but I can assure you South Americans and Africans would have no issues invading it by boat.

> It would be a decent stronghold though for awhile I bet, but in the end desperation would lead to its discovery and pillaging.

So in a climate apocalypse scenario where people are starving and desperate and resources sparse, said people are going to be able to gather enough provisions and fuel to organise a weeks long trip across thousands of miles of open ocean in order to invade a settlement that is living at subsistence level. Right...
I've always wanted to set up cameras in remote areas and see if they capture anything.
You really probably want to use a separate browser profile with no plugins installed. It really sucks when you're trying to debug a problem and it turns out it's some combination of extensions you have installed causing the problem.
> I don't really seem any downside to users being tracked by 3rd party platforms like Google Analytics. Platforms like GA, don't track first party information and anonymize who you are with a randomly generated ID.

But thats not your call to make for your users if they happen to have a different opinion on the topic.

Google is an advertising company. It is not unreasonable to not want to tracked at all by advertising companies. Neither they nor you have any sort of right to this information.

It sucks for you that it is harder to grow your business. But since when has that ever been easy?
In that situation, they are still "substandard". Ideally there would be some mentoring process that happens to try and get the employee on the right track. And a good recruiting process should minimize the number of employees who are a bad fit for whatever reason so this doesn't happen often. But at the end of the day, it really isn't good for the employee or employer to continue a relationship which isn't fruitful.
The Piwik block comes from the AdBlock ruleset.

It blocks the piwik.js. When you check the statistics and hover the red filter symbol for the Piwik line you will see which rule blocked it.
Not sure why you're being downvoted, that was my first thought as well. Sure, I understand the concept of defensive acquisitions, valuation as what people are willing to pay, per-user value, developing world markets, etc. But rockets are still rockets, and a messaging app is still a messaging app. I think it's the incredible disparity in total embodied energy for WhatsApp vs SpaceX that makes this intuitively hard to accept.
The whole point of the original comment is that these are LEO satellites, rather than the geosynchronous satellites in use for previous internet service. These won't be traditional; they'll be about a thirtieth as far away.
This ain't my first rodeo.

I've had the following in my life

* Pentium 4

* 21.5" iMac

* 27" iMac

* Another 27" iMac

* Self built 2700K Intel

* Dell XPS 9560

* Self built 2700X Ryzen

* 2015 15" Macbook Pro

* M1 Macbook Air

For my work PCs, I had a Dell Desktop, a Asus Laptop and 2 Macbook Pros.

If selecting a PC for work, I would never go for a Windows PC nowadays. You'll get the cheapest option available, filled with all the corporate crap you don't want, and locked down to oblivion.

Macs have a minimum quality bar, and don't tend to get hamstrung quite as easily by company policy. It's just not worth it unless you know for a fact you'll get to choose the machine and software yourself.

As for at home, I'm flexible, but I wouldn't go for Mac if I wanted to game, and now in 2020, I wouldn't go x86 if I needed battery life.
Sorry for the wrong use of words there. As mentioned in the earlier comment, use of cc licensed image in our site can be considered under fair use. We will still insert the license going forward as it makes it more simpler and straightforward. Do check out the link below to see how it works along with a CC license. Also, we would definitely get more legal advice on this going forward. Thanks for understanding.

Same in Germany. You have no chance without Whatsapp. Every birthday party, every friend circle etc. has a Whatsapp group.
Google has a pending antitrust case heading for it. No secret Big Tech has been spending Billions trying to influence this election.

With that said.

DCPD failed to inform FPS\SS of the protesters breaking through 5 barricades and into a building designed to withstand seige until the protesters were almost in the chambers forcing them to flee. The factual narrative here is there was a compromise of congressional security and trust in DCPD.

How we end up, instead, getting the hyper-critical over-the-top insurrection narrative from every MSM company and all the heavy-handed fallout of that narrative without even evidence of busted doors I just don't know, but 4 dead and a handfull injured doesn't even amount to a weekend in Chicago.

Nobody is buying this narrative.

Chime is pretty good.
People can get fired from 40h/week, meeting and deadline heavy jobs too.
"As Bruce Sterling has puts it: "I'll believe in people settling Mars at about the same time I see people settling the Gobi Desert. The Gobi Desert is about a thousand times as hospitable as Mars and five hundred times cheaper and easier to reach."

Misses a fairly big point - it's about backup for the species. The same reason people put backup tapes in another building when a walk down to the basement is a pain in the butt already. Backups in the basement don't help when the building burns down.
> Perhaps you are in Europe, where speed limits are generally just the natural speed for the roads they're posted on, and the roads are designed for natural speeds that are appropriate for their uses. Lucky you, if so.

What are you talking about? With the exception of Germany all countries in Europe have maximum speed limits and I have no idea what you mean by natural speeds. Sweden which has highways that are in better condition than pretty much all US roads I've driven on has a maximum speed of 110 km/h (as has Australia btw) , Spain has 120 km/h, France 130 km/h. All lower than the US 85 miles/h.
Yeah sorry, no thanks. Software is buggy enough already. How about the guy working on that new autopilot navigation system for Boeing? Smoke all you want on your own time, but I prefer the engineers keep their faculties intact.
The counter argument is simple. The right to property is inalienable and absolute.
If your neighbours can dictate what you can and cannot build on your own land can you even say that you really own it?
The idea that a small cartel of homeowners can just artificially lower supply is anti freedom and anti free market.
The partial sentence "Were the eggs [actually] found by the girl" means something else than "Were the eggs [that were] found by the girl the same [ones as]...". Even if the semantic meaning of the words is largely unchanged, the sentence structure parses quite differently. I can confirm that this also took me for a spin when reading the comment.
Non-competes are commonly used in most employment contracts.

If that's your measure of "are you really sure you want to work for this company", then I think I would ask if you're really sure that you want to work for ANY company. Or even just work at all.
could it be because we have lost our right to anonymity? in today's internet 'culture'(i use the term loosely because its not a culture..its more of a marketplace), the user IS the product. twitter et al is the pimp.
I am someone who's extraordinarily sympathetic to journalists. But I don't think there's really any excuse for going 93 miles an hour on a country road marked for 55, as this author did.

Should he have been sent to jail for it? I don't think so. But it's remarkable how acceptable that behavior seems to be.
Running it wasn't really an accident. The accident was more the ridiculous and unintended scale.

This was unexpectedly terrific.
To add some complementary points to what others have posted, poster sessions are great for undergraduate students and junior grad students to cut their teeth on presenting research in a lower pressure environment. Plus networking — the poster sessions can be great for established researchers who might be recruiting students and postdocs
I'm not sure, if we, as a humanity, can do much here.

You have 2 choices:

- Use a "0-config" solution. You sacrifice control, efficiency and a lot more.

- You write configuration. In my opinion, the best language for configuration that humanity has come up with is YAML. Yes, it's not ideal, but it's expressive and (compared to alternatives), very readable. Compared to real programming languages, it lacks some of the goodies like autocompletion, validation, etc. Stacktape has a VScode extension for that. Also, you can write your config using Typescript: https://docs.stacktape.com/user-guides/writing-config-in-typ...

If you want a "quick-start" solution, we have a lot of those in our docs. Also, we are working on an interactive CLI "tour" that will "bootstrap" the configuration for you (with some sane defaults).

Edit: We are actively looking for a better and easier solution. If you have a suggestion, I will be very happy to discuss it.
I run a CrossFit gym in Toronto. I get no money/compensation for anything regarding nutrition. We get people to try paleo for a month, book-ended by body composition tests and benchmark workouts. If life gets better and they stick with it, great, if they want to quit, they quit.

"Y'see now you're sounding like a salesman."

You didn't answer the question, you just accused me of something that's not true.

I think the best thing to do is end this conversation. We disagree on all the points up for discussion, and I'm guessing that nothing I type will convince you, and I'm certain that nothing you type will convince me.
Wouldn't it be easier to use facial recognition for that? In fact I recall years ago Google Play Movies already did that, where you could pause the movie and it would tell you the name of the faces on screen at that moment.

Or do you mean if you're looking for NSFW scenes of a particular actor?
> E.g., we can study the natural numbers and the integers, rationals, algebraics, and reals, but why the reals? Well, they are the only complete, Archimedean ordered field.

Well, and the complex numbers, they're the only algebraically closed field.
Sorry for the rant, you're completely right.

About me: new grad, interested in programming languages, machine learning and math but open to most roles other than frontend.
You cannot possibly know how much this delights me!

Most of my writing was about social media, back when the web was young, but "Ontology is Overrated" is actually my favorite thing I ever wrote, and it makes me happy beyond measure to know that it helped someone manage an actual argument over whether to buy into the semantic web!

I have never been talented enough to write production code, but I often thought of myself as trying to provide ammunition to people like you who are, when talking to bosses who didn't understand that the phrase "Now it's just a simple matter of programming!" was a bitter, sardonic joke, not an upbeat assessment of possibility.

Thank you for telling this story! This whole thread has been like hearing my own eulogy, but this in particular is just :chefs_kiss:
This has to be one of the more awesome products I've seen in a while. I think I'll pre-order right now since they seem to be having some supply issues. ("Currently backordered. You'll be billed the once it ships. More units expected in early January!" from the order page).

Hope this will help with me waking up on time. I'm really having big issues with this.
This should be really, really obvious stuff for pretty much anyone who reads HN.
Indeed, what is causing our preference for the bottom these days, that will continue to be important as physical paper, etc. won't have much bearing on chat layout?

I think it is:

1) keyboards on phones are on the bottom, so as not to obscure our view of the screen, and we want that textbox to be in line with the keyboard

2) we read from top to bottom, so it is more natural to continue reading this way inter-message and not just intra-message

But there is one BIG ONE that seems to really scream "newest on top" for me:

On the web, things start at the top

This makes sense, because they are documents. And as such, embedding chat in a document seems to demand a large empty space: most of the important site elements (header, etc.) will be on the top, and to see the input box you have to look all the way DOWN.

Maybe I just need to come up with an idea to draw the eye there and make people want to type. But what?

Have you ever heard the phrase "it's not what you say but how you say it"? To me, that perfectly describes Theo. I often agree with what he has to say but the way he says it often leaves a lot to be desired.
> focus on improving the language and this will come organically

Or not. There are dozens of languages which are good, a couple of decades old, and only known and used by a very small community. They all followed your advice and in effect they "lost" man-centuries of contributions to other languages.

I don't know how well this is going to play out for Nim, but for a project which can't even have its own Wiki page because of how unpopular it is it may well be a good thing.
Is that "reality distortion field" jab pointed at me? The best laptop in my life is/was my trusty Thinkpad w520. No vents at the bottom, no overheating problems (two previous laptops were HP EliteBooks - a toy computers compared to Lenovo). Now I'm working on MacBook Pro, and yes, it's slicker than w520, but it have problems with heat.
For which the writer makes an entirely unconvincing argument.
Nim is like writing C at the speed of Python, and running Python at the speed of C.

If you took Python but made it perform blazingly fast, and made it suitable for the most demanding of embedded and systems programming applications, in addition to game dev, you'd get Nim.

If on the other hand you're satisfied with Python, then keep using it. It was trivial for me to port a Python elliptic curve implementation to Nim. I'd certainly recommend it over Cython, because Nim is simply designed as one complete system built for writing high performance applications with a sane syntax.

"Short-term gains" isn't the goal. The goal is avoiding short-term losses for the sake of empire-building. If you look at Yahoo's market cap, net of the Alibaba & Yahoo Japan stakes, it's essentially betting that Mayer will burn a few hundreds of millions of dollars on things like non-value-adding acquisitions in an effort to remain a Major Player.
We changed the title from "EU anti-terror coordinator pushes for crypto backdoors". It's against the rules to editorialize in titles. If you wish to point out something important about the article, you're welcome do so in the thread.
But the \ at the end of lines screws up cut-and-paste in emacs. I can cut and paste between vim running in putty and most other apps.
"I often wonder about the quality of the people they hire as I have yet to run into a talented dev who would quit their current job to do this one week contract for hire option."

I wonder that, too. The very best people usually have a job that they like well enough, but might change jobs for a real offer.

"Quit your job and we will probably hire you" is not so attractive to experience people, who are usually no longer in their 20s. Even if a developer were inclined to give it a go on his or her vacation time, most employment contracts require notification for taking on additional employment -- it is rather awkward and annoying to the candidate to jump around these hoops.
On Aardvark there was no way (I knew of) to pay for answers.

I was pretty sad when Google bought and closed Aardvark. If they somehow resurrect it in this form, maybe its death was not in vain :)
This is a skill I've noticed that many developers don't have, or don't have sufficiently

Yes, and I have trouble understanding how that is possible. Ok if you've never programmed and are just a beginner, but otherwise? Or does it depend on the kind of code? I assume this gets taught in programming / CS course, no? Or maybe not, and that is the problem?
Sure, no problems with that. It would be reasonable to say that in advance and not lie about it.
Yes, but google drive didn't stop dropbox, one drive, box and hundred other services. Isn't competition in the community healthy?
How about this possibility: (1) You've got this lab that uses a lot of animals and does experiments. (2) There is a 'wet' market nearby that deals in animals from A to Z. (3) Maybe some animal from the lab carrying a zoonotic virus (origin unknown) somehow got disposed of for cash in the market? How could WHO or anyone uncover such an occurrence a year or more later? Would it be possible that such a thing had happened and no one ever had had any idea that it had happened?
Trades at the exchange level were repeatedly halted over the course of two weeks or so of the most volatile trading.

Trades by certain brokers or apps were also notably halted on a Thursday due to lack of liquidity.
VR and Dataflow programming would be a really natural fit, based on the concepts they are showing here. Dataflow programming with a good UI displays physical objects which represent functions, and lets the developer connect the pipes, as it were.

Throw in an editor which lets you open up the objects and change the wiring inside, and you could have a very powerful yet intuitive, method of programming in a VR.

Imagine this in VR: http://youtu.be/VX1YnrW-v0Y
> MySQL. Not that using anything else would have prevented this or would help restore the table faster...

The slowness of the restore sounds like they have to insert a text dump back into the database, rather than simply copy over the binary files. Even copying over 1 TB from a single hard drive or between EC2 instances would only take a few hours, not days.

And they weren't using binlogs.

And they didn't separate out their test from production environment, which is understandable when you're in demo mode but not after a couple years and half a million users.
Every big country has got some skeletons attached to it, especially including the US.

If you're primed to see the foreign country as monstrous and evil, you'll see it that way, whatever the balance of the facts for people who live there may be.

For example, social credit. Do you know what it is? Do you know specifically what's being proposed and implemented right now? Or are you going off of some breathless reporting?

(super briefly, there's no consumer credit system in China. Currently there are 2 corporate credit systems evolving in response to need (alipay, wepay), and something like 15 different government-sponsored pilot programs testing different ideas in different provinces, because having consumer credit scores is in fact important for finance. This gets reported as some Big Brother Social Credit Program With A Big Dystopian Plan by western media).
Well, not when the security issue is fixed. Being able to do the things I described is not dependent on the existence of that security issue, ya know.
Is so much of their profit bound up in their software?

I thought these were hardware companies.
I mean, I think there's an argument to be made that at this point it's not a text-based browser in the classic sense, so much as an ASCII art frontend for a regular browser.

A text-based browser in the traditional sense explicitly wouldn't care about JS and WebGL, but may implement some CSS and image rendering via ASCII art.

To be clear: I don't understand the benefit of brow.sh over basically anything else on the market besides looking l33t to non-techie passers-by. It still chews up bandwidth and system resources pulling down and running JS, which also has privacy implications. Limiting JS support was a big selling point of Lynx for lots of people.
By far the main advantage that London's black cabs have is the use of dedicated bus lanes. This often has a huge effect in rush-hour and translates in substantial time savings vs uber.

The article neglects that people have to pay income taxes on however many dollars of income you make. If you hypothetically made 100% of your income in bitcoins, and conducted all your financial transactions in bitcoins, then you would have 0 tax liability and wouldn't need dollars to pay taxes.
