What a horrible article. I've stopped half-way through because it would just refuse to report the 4 lines that make up this news, instead making it look like a clip-show in a cartoon, going off on a side road after every 2 words of content.
If a bank lost everyones money, we would expect governments to subpoena them. This is news like "Sun rises for 1.6425 × 10^13th time in a row" is a headline.
To put those case figures in context; the median age of the population as a whole in Germany is 47, and for Italy it's 45. [1]

What I meant was input via the device itself. You can't expect people to press buttons on their glasses to get things done, that'd be a bad experience. The only other hands-free input method is gaze tracking, which would be great, but it may not make it into a v1 product.

Obviously there's input possibilities from other devices, and I mentioned iPhone. Unlikely mouse and keyboard input for a long time - AR's unique offering is freedom of movement, not being tethered to a desk.

Again, a v1 really has to be a minimal product that is first and foremost a heads-up display for a narrow set of use cases. Else it'll be too bulky or awkward - just look at the rest of the AR devices out there.
The west is reflecting on its own actions, but (lacking a central ideological authority!) that doesn't make every person and institution flip their position on this. It gets acknowledged piecewise, and the quantity of culture war fought over it is considerable.

This 26th January we heard about the conflict between the people who call that day "Australia Day" and the people who call it "Invasion Day".
vore?
Is that Avebury?
In addition to what bscphil said

> Because you're doing something that often causes major security bugs.

Okay, sure, but I might be running a simulation or something, why should I be punished because some idiot decided to srand(time(0))?
I really don't understand how this is an issue. The raspbian distro is designed and fundamentally revolves around being a learning environment with as little friction/barrier to entry as possible. So having the repo available makes sense. If there is a need to be in complete control of every aspect of what is installed in the distro then there is always the option of creating your own distro that is completely controlled using something like the Yocto Project.
I really wish I'll be like that at old age. I'm now in my forties, and since the age of 12, have had great fun programming. It's now my job, but I hope it doesn't get ruined. Regularly I see people here that have become jaded, and no longer derive pleasure from coding. This lady really inspires me and makes me wish my future contains loads of interesting programming problems to solve.
I guess the title wants to say that despite already having the best bicycle infrastructure in the world, massive investments are still being made.
While I agree that there are real dangers in censoring public officials by private corporations, there are still a myriad of ways for the president to communicate with people outside of the social networks.

No President before Trump used Twitter. If he’s the most powerful person in the world, surely that comes with communication channels.

In the end, most of our society seems to be done with this guy so the social media networks are really just following that. They’re advertising companies after all.
No, just that your observations are based on living in a way accessible to ever fewer Dutchmen.

The generalizing statement that Dutchmen are sensible I would argue is as incorrect as it is anywhere.

The quality of cycling infra is nearly everywhere good.
From the HN guidelines:

This post has an editorialized title. The original title is “Trump a Twitter rival? After ban, president says he's in talks with other platforms -- or may launch his own”.
Given spacex, this one hasn't aged well

"39. (alternate formulation) The three keys to keeping a new human space program affordable and on schedule:
1) No new launch vehicles.
2) No new launch vehicles.
3) Whatever you do, don't develop any new launch vehicles."
Because that's what the public expects a thing that flies fast to look like. Also the Rule of cool applies here.
I know some of you are following this closely and I have some questions I haven't seen any proper answer. I am hoping one of you can shine some light.

How long will the mod-RNA express the spike proteins? (where is the actual 'protein expression'/time plot?)

The poly(A) tail isn't just A (which would give a mechanic answer to my first question?), there is also a 10-nucleotide linker (GCAΨAΨGACΨ). I wonder if this could be there to trigger some sort of self-amplification. Can someone point me to the relevant paper?
Glenn Greenwald disagrees with you: https://youtu.be/lMVS9tfNyjc

He even calls out why your example of yelling fire in a theater is a poor one. Disregard the intro which was recorded prior to changing the discussion to the twitter ban.
Very good question! We could totally stick it in the ground, given: "(1) stable geological formations, and (2) stable human institutions over hundreds of thousands of years." Easy, right?

Problem: "no known human civilization has ever endured for so long, and no geologic formation of adequate size for a permanent radioactive waste repository has yet been discovered that has been stable for so long a period" [0]

The problem isn't the "sticking into the ground" part.

It's the finding of that place that will stay geologically inactive, uncivilized, and not near water sources for the next 100000 years. And then taking that bet.

It's literally like saying "Fuck other people who are born after me".

Plastic stuck into the ground is not radioactive.
Plastic stuck into the ground also degrades in a fraction of a fraction of the half-life of Plutonium.

Good question!
The plan was to use it for the central alarm room in temporary hospitals where no network exists.

We planned to develop a small gateway to gather all the devices alarms, linked to bed number.
It was not developed, but hardware has the feature.

The LoRa fairness will allow very few data to come up, but high level alarms vital could be transmitted several times in a second if needed.

We know we cannot use it to transfer waveforms of course.
Ignoring the potential for harvesting credentials and then abusing reused creds, the ability to send emails from a congressional email account is a disaster in and of itself. Imagine if someone sent out an email from Nancy Pelosi's email account validating Q Anon theories for example. Good luck ever walking that back.
You understood what I was getting at. I would have offered the free plan to get the app polished (post 7 day usage pattern I described) but if your not exactly ready to field support issues that flood in, it could hurt a tiny bit.

Can't wait to see how this thing grows though!
I came across this very informative article while googling for the name of the pesticide:

http://www.thenhf.com/article.php?id=598

According to this, issues surrounding bee deaths and clothianidin as well as its predecessor imidacloprid have been known since at least 2003.
Firebug does this too.

One thing Firebug does that I can't find in WebKit's developer tools: in Firebug, when you select an element and switch to the "Layout" tab, mousing over the various measurements will draw on-screen rulers and guides that show how the element lines up with other items on the page.
I'm not sure this even matters. Gawker accounts are for commenting on inane media stories. If people used the same password for their email, that's one thing, but I wouldn't be surprised if most had a harder password for their email, and resorted to 123456 etc. for less important accounts.
Where does the coloured background for the Android icons come from? On my Nexus One, all the icons are transparent, but on my Samsung devices the icons have colored backgrounds. It seems as if this is another thing Samsung did to make it more like the iPhone. Can anyone confirm this?

(Messaging, browser, and the keyboard shading also seem to reflect much more iPhone than stock Android.)
I'm not sure if these are in order but I would put monetize before raise money. I try to build a revenue model into a business rather than just assume I'll be able to raise money to fund the company.
Did you notice the vocabulary you're using? Especially, "attack", and "sides".

Your criticism here sounds like you feel that he didn't "attack ... both sides" fairly enough, so either he should have picked more examples that you already agree with, or consider irrational.

There are some who would say that the 9/11 "truthers" are no more irrational than anthropogenic global warming "skeptics", so why pick one versus the other?

...That said, I agree that 9/11 conspiracy theorists would have been a good example to include, mostly because of the strength of their convictions relative to the really thin evidence available.
I'm not sure what "no restrictions" is supposed to mean here - I see TLDs that have local presence requirements listed as "no restrictions". For example .eu[1]

has "no restrictions" and "Restricted to legal and natural persons in European Union member states. Previously unofficially used for sites in the Basque language, but now .eus is in official use."

Some clarification would be nice. Otherwise, great site.

It would also be nice if you cataloged providers/pricing for "local contact" and "local presence" services. I got a domain under an obscure ccTLD that was restricted to residents/local businesses a few years ago and it took me several hours to find a company that would take care of that for me.

Yeah I took it as meaning a website for the brain-dead, which was much wittier than pretentious.

Unless he meant right and said left, which is even funnier.
Darn, they won't be able to buy my game Dead By Zombie.
Reading "You and Your Research" (http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/YouAndYourResearch.html) by Richard Hamming might also give you some ideas about what to do. It's an inspiring read.
the outcome of the war was decided by a few Russian snowflakes

Not by cracking Enigma?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptanalysis_of_the_Enigma

And remember, "the war" was also being fought in the Pacific, also with a spectacular imbalance in cryptology strength between the Allies and the Axis.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_naval_codes

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_%28cryptography%29

In general, code-breaking had a lot to do with the outcome of the war.

http://www.cs.virginia.edu/jillcrypto/
A really exciting book about this phase of the war, which will be of interest to any math-oriented hacker, is The Pleasures of Counting by T. W. Körner.

But I don't see them calling that out very well.
From a first impression it sounds like a great idea.

The "karma" score you get on some websites could be extended to more websites rather than contained in each website separately.

I actually think that providing a Karma/Gaming API could be a great idea. I'd surely use it on my websites if it can integrates with my user authentication system.
I have no doubts about its ability to display a wider range of colors. It’s just that after attending a few lectures about data transmission I rather got the feeling that those responsible for designing the compression and coding would rather quit and sail the South Pacific than transmit stuff that’s not actually used.

That might just have been a by-product of all the compression and coding I learned about being really old (PAL, NTSC), newer stuff might be a lot more forward looking (as teilo suggested).
I think he means it would be useful when used for a geographically distributed group. You could find the cheapest place for a reunion based on total cost of airfares, and split the cost evenly.
Car crashes...because they are rushing to the scene of a crime? Chasing a dangerous criminal?

Heart attacks...because they push themselves beyond their own limits for the safety of the public?

And in what world does "It's not in the X most dangerous jobs category" mean it isn't a dangerous job? Someone deciding to do deep sea fishing doesn't mean that police work becomes less or more dangerous. And other jobs in the top 15, you find people that get themselves killed at high rates for selfish motives(e.g. pizza delivery drivers blowing through red lights for bigger tips), which is not how it happens with police officers.
I wonder too. Ask a lawyer! I've had the (dis)pleasure of dealing with employment lawyers, and it's amazing the stuff we don't know, that they do, and works in our favor.
I'm pretty sure the pinned tweet is an exact reference in one of his essays.
I was specifically referring to education, not academia. But your point is still valid. Still, I'd prefer to run this experiment on teachers before politicians.
You can get a 55” TCL QLED 4K TV for around $500 - Amazon currently has them for $534, I paid $460 a few months back. All the specs are amazing, as is the software - minimal, intuitive, and effective. And the sound is actually rather impressive out of the box, but if you want any low frequencies you need bigger external speakers that cannot physically fit in a flatscreen TV.

I actually took home quite a few (3-4) more expensive TVs from Costco before buying the TCL, and it was far and away the best set while also being 1/2 to 1/3 the price.
> This might be right, I don't know, but how do you square it with all the sources saying Metz told them he was researching a basically positive piece on the rationalists being right early about the pandemic? Was he just lying?

Why wouldn't he be lying?

Talking to journalists is like talking to the police. They will play nice with you to get you talking, and then use whatever you say however they want.
I interpreted that as "syncs the disks", as in, flushes the buffers. (which it does, I believe, do.) A failure to suspend from RAM isn't that harmful: it's just an unscheduled reboot, as if you'd suddenly removed power.

The wording they're responding to is pretty vague: "lose everything". What is "everything"? E.g., the filesystem state is in good order. And even though RAM gets reset, many applications, like Firefox, will usually simply realize what happened, and recover.
The first royalty contract I was presented with meant I granted exclusive rights in exchange for a royalty. It sounded fair to me. I showed it to a friend, who said: "they have a similar product. With this contract, they get exclusive control over your product, and never have to actually sell any. You get $0 royalties, and they eliminated their competition."

If this employment contract is worth $$$ to you, it is worth showing to your lawyer.

What I also do for employment contracts, is list all my side and past projects, and get written confirmation that those remain my intellectual property. If, when I've been employed, I wanted to start a new side project, I'd get written confirmation from the company that it's mine. They've never objected, and I never had a problem. Contrast that with people who sometimes come to me saying "I've worked a year on this side project, and I'm worried my employer will claim it is theirs."
This isn't the first place I've seen this -- back in December of 2009, in Manhattan (midtown somewhere, GPS says 53rd between Park and Lexington), I happened upon this sign [1] and snapped a photo. Uses green and blue instead of green and red, and is oriented horizontally instead of vertically, but appears to be official.

Wouldn't it be more like a crisis of post-modernity? They say high modernism and all that 20th century stuff is behind us.

People never trusted authorities outside of the first world. The Western governments were hiding their true nature much better for a long time. In the last 20-30 years the world previously known as civilized has degenerated enough to exhibit the same problems people living outside of it are used to. Europe's fate was arguably sealed by WWII. But what happened to America at the pinnacle of its power will keep historians busy for a century.

Younger people need to be reminded that one man's terrorists are another man's freedom fighters. There is no universal truth in human affairs, just a fight for survival of your people against other groups. You need to learn which side you belong to and support them. Typically your government is your worst enemy, not some foreign dictator.

Censorship is binary. Freedom of thought is absolute and you are either free or not. There's no "moderation", just powers that be positioning to demoralize and exploit you if not drive you to extinction.
Pascal's Wager is a fallacy resulting from plugging infinity into your risk analysis and interpreting ∞/0 in a way that suits you.
Yes, I did confused the part about Keccak[0] being "slow" to compute without specfic hardware/extensions with it being slow on GPUs as a design goal.

[0] Taking this as an example of newer crpytographic hashes, rather than the "old ones" that were easier/faster to calculate on GPUs.
Wasn't this partially CD Baby's model for getting artists on to the iTunes store?
And of course you left out the weasel words thereafter:

Readers should bear in mind that, given the vagaries of human memory, remembered dialogue is rarely the same as actual recordings and transcripts. At the same time, it is no more nor less accurate than many other recollections.
And, as expected, dustinmoris never bothered to apologize for outright lying. I swear people like him/her are making HN becoming another Reddit.
I started programming when I was 19, because that's when I got a computer (more projection) but in any case hard to not project onto your own kids. I think.
I'm curious about this as well, though in a more general sense than just PLs.

There are already so many modern/useful things I want to learn that it's hard to justify learning something because it's 'beautiful' or purely intellectually stimulating.
It just worked!

Basically, we build a lot of internal webapps and it's so common that you need to compare x against y, go back and forth between screens...

Most users simply open up multiple tabs and view side by side.

To me, if we could easily have the interface setup so that every object opens in a new "window" with the ability to dock side by side/navigate independently, I just feel it is much neater than the standard admin templates we use on a daily basis.

Truthfully, I've not spent ages looking in to this, but, I did spend a few hours with the Jupyterlabs code and I just got nowhere.

Basically, I would love to just get a page up, the full Jupyter interface, standard menu bar to the left or on top and the ability to just load multiple "Hello World" pages in separate windows.
Prolog isn't dead, it's just resting. Actually, people find practical uses for it still though it tends to be domain specific.

Look at the alternatives. If there's a practical alternative to the language/material that has reasonably widespread use and can be counted on to be present in 5-20 years, go for the alternative. If you have a need for something that's been put through its paces for 40 years and is battle tested with well-supported compilers, consider the "dead language".

And you can always leave languages off your resume.
How is it obvious in a trial?

I mean, take the flu shot. The times I've gotten it I've not had any reaction or one so mild I don't remember. Maybe a sore arm? Slightly tired, though that could have been work. I wouldn't personally know until they do blood tests.

Even if you have side effects - outside of a possible sore arm, you wouldn't know it was the vaccine or just unfortunate timing for a virus or something.

You want the trial to be double blind because it means there is less bias: https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-a-double-blind-study-27....

Do you see how your goal posts have shifted from “Iran wants peace” to “Of course Iran doesn’t want peace, look at how bad the US is?”
This one is really brazen, isn't it? I always wonder why this kind of nonsense doesn't end in criminal charges for the chain of command involved. On the other hand, historically, the entertainment industry has thrown notoriously heavy hands about to defend its perceived territory. I wonder if this is the price American society pays for patronage of the global entertainment industry.
as soon as I saw "key advance in solid state batteries" I knew immediately it raises red alarms because to execute a monopoly move in this sector, you absolutely need a vertically integrated corporation with a long experience of mass manufacturing, and there's only handful of conglomerates that can pull this off.

we are living in a golden age of securities fraud. We see fraudsters piggying off hot trends to sell hopes.

when the Cybertruck came out, someone raised billions and rolled a prototype down a hill to claim they were going to start shipping soon.

when cryptocurrency was hot in 2018, many companies like Kodak simply announced they were working with blockchain or cryptocurrency and saw immediate surge in stock prices.
Taking good notes on paper is lost art.

In college, I returned a textbook before I opened the shrink wrap when I realized the student next to me was highlighting verbatim from the textbook what the professor was talking about. Writing everything down saved me >$100 and earned me an easy A.

You just ruled out far more companies, and for far more arbitrary reasons-- eg: you want to get paid but you won't let any company you work for sell software in order to pay you.

You're far more inflexible than I am.
this is a distraction. first off, why should we suppose we have "doubled the pizza"? I see no point in discussing abstract hypotheticals. We ought to stick to real world examples of the real world economy or else we're not really talking about anything meaningful.
Made my day, thank you.

Bold claims.

Thanks. While I agree for the most part, I do think that raising money is an important validation. Often you hear about a project you wouldn't even consider interesting, but when it's accompanied by "raised X MM from Y", your perception changes.

Also, it's that head-turning thing. They say "we raised X" and you start listening. I had something similar with my downloads count. Honestly, I didn't think 1 million is all that special, but over time I learned I should start most of my pitches with. People just start to listen.
The iPad Air 2 is the first iOS device with 2 GB of RAM, I believe.

That's a good point. We used to partition our disks and assign space budgets to specific partition/mounted directories.

It was to me a PITA, and juggling with partitions, redimensionning them because circumstances changed, moving files from one partition to another because it was getting saturated etc. were horrible.

Instead of having a tool handling that horror, thinking of disk space as a continuous resource and checking from time to time where that space go and if it needs cleaning is more manageable IMO.

I have the same mental model for money, and outside of very specific cases (mortgage accounts, kids account, professional expenses etc.) I don't think it's worth it partitioning at the account levels just for the sake of it.
