Side note about Newton and occult.

Newton was not just a physicist who dabbled with occult. He turned occult into physics.

Before Newton scientists and natural philosophers like Descartes believed that movements were caused by physical contact.

Newton started traditionally and proposed the existence of ether that transmits forces. When he became interested in alchemy, he replaced ether with occult forces that repel and attract each other. Newton received criticism for his theory that gravity was worked through "action at a distance", because that is occult quality. His theory was not seen as physical theory at first, because 'physical theories' at the time were physical in the intuitive common sense meaning. Action at a distance, across a vacuum, was occultism.

Keynes called Newton the last magician. He was able to make similar leap as Einstein did.
> Now, instead, imagine things being only a few seconds off, instead of entire hours.

No, and yes, and anyway it doesn't matter.

No, that wouldn't be the case. If you mess up the local->global conversion, you'd still be hours off, not just seconds. Realistically, we would probably need to define TAI2 = TAI + 35 seconds and then switch to that. Then the only immediate change would be that we'd stop adding the leap second flag to NTP updates. If you were doing UTC conversions correctly before, you'd automatically be doing TAI2 conversions correctly after, but if you mess up that conversion, you'll still be hours off.

But yes, such a change would introduce a new problem: Software or systems that are not updated to handle leap seconds in offsets might display localtime a second or two off.

Still, it wouldn't matter much. Non-TAI2 systems might display localtime a second or two off, but their clocks would still be correctly synchronized. Having an incorrect offset would be like inadvertently defining your own custom timezone. Nobody else would care about your timezone (whether it's a standard one or not), because you'd be communicating with them using global time based on your correctly synchronized clock.

How about checking the research papers cited in Wikipedia:

I used to use cytube but this is much better! Great to see someone is building this idea further. I am going to watch a comedy show with family and check it out.

Are people mostly doing private watch parties on the site ?
The painful thing about Excel is that it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's built on extensive UX research that tries to support the existing corporate culture and workflow. In so being it reinforces that norm, which generally encodes the assumption: the people handling this data don't understand how or want to write code. It's extremely difficult to build a spreadsheet that gives those people as much power as Excel does.

This is frustrating for people working in an Excel shop who know how to code. Most of them realize their coworkers don't want to learn to code. They just wish their skills could be useful.
Mental fog, for me, is a physical symptom of stress and exhaustion. It has nothing to do with having a clean workspace.

The first sentence of the article is "mess creates stress". I don't see a contradiction. It could be that article is wrong, but I have heard many people express that sentiment. If you have evidence that it's not true, I would like to see it.
I think the WHO wasn't intentionally lying here - the other examples appear to be cases where a truth was hidden in order to promote/protect a product (lobbying for sugar to be considered a health food for example).

We do need to be critical of what's told as truth in social or personal circumstances, for sure. I just sincerely doubt the WHO intended to harm people by making that claim.
Or finance.
At that point it's just a theory, not a conspiracy theory
Some fun comp.lang.c history:

Dennis Ritchie posted, sharing an extremely early version of a C compiler. Richard Heathfield (well known C book author) jokingly chided Ritchie for posting something off-topic, as it was not part of ANSI C. In typical Usenet fashion, this triggered a huge thread, arguing over the appropriateness of the joke. Even Linus Torvalds got involved.

Apparently Heathfield emailed Ritchie privately to apologize, and Ritchie's response is well known to anyone in clc: "Usenet is a strange place."

Original thread: https://groups.google.com/g/alt.folklore.computers/c/wbzzoyS... (I believe it was crossposted to clc)

Some discussion of the saga: https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Talk:Dennis_Ritchie

RIP dmr
Thanks god this is sarcasm
I didn't claim they were obligated like it's a law to do this, but I do think it's a little strange you wouldn't expect a powerful media org like NYT to care about the second order effects of their reporting at all. To reduce this to it's simplest form: I am claiming that the NYT shouldn't have been an asshole about it. What is so puzzling to me is that you are a) intentionally not getting this, or saying "meh don't care" and b) are giving enormous deference to a very powerful organization that can negatively (or positively!) impact someone's livelihood.

>...using an identity so trivially connectable to those patients.

As others have pointed out, the connection was mapped as A to B and not B to A.

>...it has nothing whatsoever to do with the Times.

And the Times is what would've changed how his identities were mapped. How The Times' operates in this new tech-enabled media environment is absolutely relevant.
Reminded me of @horse_js posts on Twitter haha.
This is a pretty good explanation, and I'd also add that SPAs move away from the traditional server-structure URL path mentality, which wasn't very user friendly and never really needed. Now URLs are kept mostly for sharing or bookmarking.

i.e. www.domain.com/user/profile/update.html can just be handled in index.html
Done enough is good enough, as long as you achieved the goal you set out to achieve, it's done. No more energy is worth spending on it - unless you change the goals.
Agreed -- non-matches must not be stored indefinitely. 24 hours might be a bit on the short side; I could see letting them keep them for 30 days, but no more than that.
Random idea that might have been mentioned elsewhere, but would a possible monetisation/motivation strategy for a consumer model be people pay only when they miss a session? Would make for a fun PR campaign at least.
"the fuss" is because a lot of people jumped on the JSON bandwagon in order to get away from XML.
Hah yeah I definitely haven't warmed up yet. I think my longest streak has been 7 or 8...there's always a match-up of two scary people that just throws me for a loop.
I've found that it's not the actual code review that's helpful, but preparing for a code review. It forces you to describe the code clearly, which often makes the code clearer in the process. Plus you try to anticipate the comments your co-workers will give.
The basic research budget (MSR) is a pretty small part (2%?) of the overall MSFT R&D budget. Though probably still one of the biggest industrial research budgets.
Seems Motorola's handset business is not included.
If you're interested in glossaries of this type, there's a great one (with pictures!) in the back of The Algorithm Design Manual by Steven Skiena.

A web app to get RSS feeds of HN filtered by keywords, points, etc. because I often miss valuable news in my areas of interest on HN. Was thinking about adding opencalais metadata too, but that's out of my MVP I think.
This is a circuitious restatement of Fred Brooks' technique of writing the documentation first and having that be the framework from which the features of the code progress, such that usable code is a foregone conclusion if there is nothing in the software that is missing from the documentation. Transposed from mainframe manuals to README files, natch.

"a lot of the shady business & licensing practices that Microsoft engages in"

Um... you are wrong. These companies are all suing each other, and Apple is known for creating patents for every little thing they do in iOS.
At their scale, yeah they are. (Especially considering you wouldn't need new sats)
What in the world do you mean? Lightning has excellent privacy; payments are onion-routed.
Yeah, I remember reading this back in high school too! Interesting that he got the concept (loss of anonymity and micropayment) right, but the mechanism wrong. Instead it was all done by selling your data to 3rd parties. IMO much worse even than what the author proposed.
At the time of that fork, the Ethereum website literally said "the code is the contract". Then, when someone found a perfectly legitimate use of that code that the creators failed to anticipate, they forcibly altered the contract. There are criminals here, but they're not the ones you think.
I only want to buy things made in China. If I buy something not on this list, how sure can I be that it is a genuine Made in China product?
I'd throw Snap in the mix as well. Spectacles were not really a failure because it was never meant to be a mass market success. I think they're iterating in public. It's much better to do that, than stay secretive for years together and then launch an underwhelming product like Magic Leap.
Snap has the AR capabilities and is the closest to getting people to wear hardware on their head in a casual setting.
This looks like a fantastic dev experience and it's great to see this team building something like this. Indie game dev is near and dear to my heart.

Unfortunately, HN tends to be full of haters. On the behalf of the rest of us, thanks for sharing DragonRuby!
Doubt this is the state of the art, but ModSecurity seems to exist and has rulesets floating around, like this one from OWASP: https://github.com/coreruleset/coreruleset

Here is a random Node binding for libModSecurity I found: https://github.com/manishmalik/Modsecurity-nodejs
Multi threading sanely requires Arc, and reference counting is a crappy form of GC.

If you have enough threads passing stuff around and can deal with the ~50% performance loss between Java and Rust, it's much easier to use a language with GC.

There's talk of adding a quality GC to rust and dedicated GC types. If/when that happens, Rust will be a contender for a bunch of higher level systems
Box2D is ported from C++ to Flash and then from ActionScript to JavaScript. So it might be slow to get updates and bug fixes.

But it looks usable and seems to have the same features as Matter.js
I didn't read that as 200k for legal fees, but as a break up fee. Something akin to: sorry it isn't going to work. It's not you, it's us. We know we caused a major disruption for you, so here's something for your trouble
May be the Honeycomb team thinks this too..
There is a considerable amount of wisdom in this article. But there's one thing in particular that caught my eye:

"The job ended up being team work, it was way too much for a single person and I’m very fortunate to have found at least one kindred spirit at the company as well as a network of friends who jumped to my aid at first call. Quite an amazing experience to see a team of such quality materialize out of thin air and go to work as if they had been working together for years."

I have done similar sorts of things for my current employer and at previous jobs. One thing we discuss here, since the opportunity keeps popping up, is forming a specific team of people to parachute into a flailing project and get it back on track. That frequently seems to involve taking it away from the then-current developers, paring it down to "the good parts", and then rewriting the rest, but it does yield results.
There are so many other options than coinbase for fiat <-> crypto exchange. How is crypto centralized around coinbase? Hell if you really want to be a true cryptopunk you can use bisq for decentralized crypto <-> fiat exchange.
> This solution is sort of clever but it sacrifices a ton of internal space

this is true, yet... I'd be okay with that, to be honest.

My current work laptop (a dell latitude 7390) is a jewel also because it's got a lot of ports. I have used them all at least once, but quite frankly, never all at the same time.

So yeah, being able to unplug a port and plug a different one it's almost the perfect middle ground.

we're pretty much all carrying dongles anyway (not me, the dell latitude 7390 has all the ports i might need)
Size, heat, weight, and noise are more challenging for laptop design than desktops. Desktops tend to have things spread out much more and you just don't care about some of these issues.
Be sure to check what is allowed for the ACT and SAT. They can bring them, but there are restrictions. Would hate to be comfortable with one, just to need to change for a test.
Do you have plans to integrate with matrix?

Or are you only selling to teams for internal communication?
I would put as number one the new and still-in-beta "Tower" git client for Mac: http://www.git-tower.com/
I can see how this would make my question difficult for you to answer. Perhaps I should amend the explanation a little. It's always hard to try and account for people's individual interpretations when I do this kind of stuff. Maybe it's just best if I stick around and answer queries.
Nice post! Thanks for writing it. Do you know of any similar resource for google compute platform?
Not at all. Conscious response is due to self-awareness. Separate things?

What I was imagining is stripe issuing a credit card that my system can use to perform credit card payments on any generic webshop (either manually or some web scraper) and have that linked to a payment into my stripe account by a specific customer. I am not aware of anyone offering this service.
Cool. This was announced almost a year ago. Pixar seems to define non-commercial reasonably, although there may be some fuzzy areas, such as YouTube. Okay, so long as you're not posting to a channel for which you share in the ad revenue?

I was curious to see what a full license costs, and I was surprised to see that it's only $500 plus maintenance. Didn't this used to cost $10,000 or so?
No, but we did make use of (1) a large number of input -> network -> output iterations, along with (2) precisely measured output values to decide which input to try next. It may not be so easy to experiment in the same way on natural organisms (ethically or otherwise).

Of course, if you're as clever as Tinbergen, you might be able to come up with patterns that fool organisms even without (1) or (2):

Most of their novels are good read. Especially "Hard to Be a God", "Snail on the Slope", "The Ugly Swans", "The Inhabited Island", and, of course, "The Roadside Picnic".

Actually, it was very interesting phenomena, how in age of strict Soviet censure these seemingly Sci Fi books were filled with philosophical, humanitarian and political ideas. Lots of Soviet people grew up on these texts, within these imaginary worlds, which are so much better than harsh Soviet reality.

Nowadays, btw, authors of the next generation implant big ideas into what seems to be stories about vampires.)
Thanks for the source. I got intrigued by the first sentence of this phrase:

"Democracy should be used only where it is in place. Scientific training, as we are held to practice it in accordance with the tradition of German universities, is the affair of an intellectual aristocracy, and we should not hide this from ourselves."

Turns out the original states "Die Demokratie da, wo sie hingehört", which seems to translate to "The democracy there, where it belongs." So the translation should probably read "Democracy should be used where it has its place."

Also noticeable: the German original features page-long walls of text, which have been broken into additional paragraphs in the translation.
I just started typing some stuff, testing everything out and then it kicked me out. Perhaps it's because I was using foul language?
I wonder how this will compete with things like substack.

Will creator support like clubhouse's payments, undermine or enhance things like payments from platforms like substack.

I use both for my newsletter: For example my newsletter ProductiveGrowth , weekly stories about productivity, leadership, motivation, and anything else that helps us and our teams grow and be more productive.

I don't use either payment option now, but make me wonder which to use.

Hiroshi Yamauchi took Nintendo public in 1962. He was the largest shareholder until his death in 2013. In 2008 he owned 10% of the shares, and as of 2020, all japanese individuals total share was under 5% [2].

Here's a financial statement from 2000 [1].

I can find no evidence Nintendo was a family-owned company at any point in recent history. Have a source showing even majority shareholder status by some family combined?

I think he is saying focus on success rather than failing quickly (i.e. pivoting).

Which at a more abstract level means focus on the goal not the process.
SO not a surprise that an unregulated exchange of securities was mismanaged and collapsed. Explain to me again how Bitcoin is supposed to work? Because from the outside it looks like an electronic Ponzi scheme.
Wha? Its not illegal to own a 3d printed gun. Oh, maybe that means 'during commission of a crime'. With the easy availability of guns, I'm wonder why this would be considered noteworthy.
Is this the outline for what you're going to write?

Or is it a list of things that people should learn and know? I kind of like that, as the ultimate Learn X the Really Hard Way. "Here's a list of things you should know about X. Go out and know them."
> let’s stop wasting billions trying to cure cancer, potentially leaving us to die a much more horrible death.

If the author wants to forgo treatment upon a cancer diagnosis, more power to him; but I'm extremely grateful for continuing research into cancer treatment options.

What we really need though are better cancer diagnosis options. All too often we don't realize we even have a problem until it's far too late to treat it.
This reminds me of how Stephen Altschul had to take help from Sam Karlin(mathematician) in order to so solve sequence similarity problem. Stephen had made his problem look like a mathematical one so Sam could take interest in it. This led him to create BLAST one of the most successful tool in Computational Biology.

Didn't see any mention of it in the screenshot but now you confirmed that here and on Twitter that it does have USB-C. Good.

Still no Bluetooth.
Back in the day if you played a audio CD from Sony, you got a rootkit for your added enjoyment. To this day I have never bought a Sony product due to that debacle and never will until someone goes to jail for hacking millions of computers. Which pretty much means I will never buy a Sony product again.
> The people protesting are not protesting the Fed

The Fed is not the problem. Congress is the problem. The Fed seems like the problem sometimes because Congressional nonfeasance leaves the Fed, which has a narrow role and a narrow set of controls, the only player doing anything to deal with adverse economic conditions. But Congress’ nonfeasance is the problem.
or early enough

$1,000 invested in AMZN is now worth over $1M. or $10 in Bitcoin would have done the trick.
I used to care more about PE, but I came to realize that stock valuations are largely about near future expectations. To accurately capture this, you can't just look at the velocity of revenue, but the acceleration as well.

That said, I currently think "value" stocks are out of fashion because of FOMO of the high-PE stocks.
Looks like an even more overpriced Kinesis Edge Freestyle/Gaming
Great comment!

Def made me think alot. Seems you can replace your entire argument with crypto. Money printer goes brrr, money gets locked in crypto, does nothing for the economy, leading to massive inequality. Crypto can be though of as "Savings" in your analogy. BTC might cause a economic meltdown if $10T gets locked in'Savings'.
Yes, totally. We are using Scala for web development, without using spark. Half of our services run on akka, the other half uses typelevel ecosystem.
> With a few exceptions in large metropolitan areas they have all failed.

Eh? Just Eat/Takeaway.com has operations in 23 countries and made more than €400 million in revenue pre-pandemic (according to Wikipedia).
Apart from what everyone else was already saying I have another cool use case: When transferring large files between two devices it's neat to be able to establish a point-to-point Ethernet connection between them, configure static IP addresses and netcat the files over it. It's fast, I don't need to encrypt anything and I'm not hogging anyone's bandwidth.
The latest iterations as I understand are like this:

- keyboards were reverted similar to how they were around 2015.
- all the new trackpads are don’t require a physical actuation to activate. You can apply the same amount of minimal pressure anywhere on the trackpad and it “presses back” at you to simulate a physical click. It’s quite convincing.
HTTP/3 connections are supposed to stay open. So how much time does a websocket save?
I cited evidence that restrictions were placed on observers that made it difficult or impossible for them to detect fraud. Do you deny that I did so?
This is indeed an interesting post but it doesn't answer the question why they chose Amazon. It focuses on why they chose not to expand within their own datacenter.
Google maintains two parallel Android platforms right now, so the idea of porting everything over to a third is not _too_ far off. There's a lot of effort in getting JIT up-to-speed on RISC, but most everything else is a recompile away.
It’s not like he’s discreet

He's paid off & NDA'ed a few known people, it's possible that not everyone he's done that with bothered to come forward once he was president. He may appear indiscreet merely because his efforts failed in two cases but not in others. Those two failures show that he was making significant efforts to keep this sort of thing discreet.

This is by no means intended as an argument that additional incidents like this took place, only the observation that claiming something that already has precedent didn't happen again because "evidence would have shown up" is flawed justification.
My concern is nearly 40 years of writing, that I want to live on long after I've gone just in case anyone cares about it.

Plain text files.
Might be big for bigger vendors too. I know Oracle extorts at least some merchants at least a few hundred dollars per year per credit card terminal for the privilege (“interface license fee” or some BS) of being able to use it. The more some of these legacy middlemen get taken out of the picture, the better.
There is nothing to prevent NVidia from buying stock. A lot of stock.
