I think this product hits the sweet spot between the Oculus which covers/masks your eyes completely and Google Glass which had a relatively "small" and non immersive screen.

The glass front allows these holograms to appear more naturally to the user all the while still being aware of your surroundings.

The real challenge is not the hardware, but the software and "experiences".
I agree on principle, but not necessarily in practice. I go back and forth between Linux and Mac every couple of years, but haven't touched windows since XP. And I won't until they offer a journaled filesystem and a halfway decent shell. What can I say, Mac and Linux have spoiled me. ;)
Really.. I use a dumb feature phone and the only thing I want in is whatsapp..

Thought of signing in once with a smart phone and using it forever and continue using my dumb phone..
Where did I equate the Hard Problem with dualism? I'm contending with a view that this article surveyed. Namely,

"Nonetheless, just occasionally, science has dropped tantalising hints that this spooky extra ingredient might be real."

Furthermore, Point #2 attacks the use of thought experiments as a means of understand the Hard Problem. Point #3 relates to why the Hard Problem is so hard. Point #4 gives an analogy supporting Dennett's position.
For example being able to list all directories above all files when I browse them.

Or not having my files deleted if they are somewhere inside the target folder that I'm moving some other folder to.

Or not having to wonder where did my fullscreen app went when I accidentally flicked my fingers on the touchpad.

Or not wondering how to make app not fullscreen if there's no button for that (happened on Maverics upgraded to Yosemite, fresh Yosemite install didn't have this problem).

Or maybe Finder not hanging when I try to shut down the computer.

Or not having my network disk mount and unmount at random or disappearing from some applications while remaining happily visible in Finder.

Basically not getting in the way of what I want.
There are busy streets in Holland as well. Such more complex restrictions are perfectly possible with the Dutch style signs. Northern Europe goes by traffic signs adhering to Vienna convention, and while rules are not always that simple, getting the basic message does not require you to read the local language.
The signs are standardised within nations, and not that different across nations in EU.

Let's take an example (Google Maps link below). The round sign with blue background with red stripe over it is "no parking", and the additional sign below says "payment required during 9-20 hours weekdays, 16-20 hours Saturdays, 16-20 hours Sundays, other times free parking", then "price zone 2, maximum parking time with payment is 2 hours", then "free parking with resident parking permit for zone H". And the blue sign is "payment machine that way".

I would love to know the technical details behind the creation of this page.
For one, quantum physics are not deterministic. The world you live in, and you, are predictable, but not quite deterministic.

I personally think that if we create robots with a sufficient understanding of the world, they will necessarily be self-aware and "conscious". Those are just emergent properties of a sufficient understanding of the world, it seems to me. You might think that's not true. Asimov's robots are purely "logical" (but not reasonable) and don't seem conscious, they don't have free will... But robots like that might never exist. They'd be too rigid to deal with the complexities of this world in any kind of useful way. For robots to be sufficiently capable, they'll need a more fluid, more "natural" and less "predictable" kind of intelligence.
If you don't have many of these outlier biases then you're probably ok turning down the work because of poor cultural fit. But if you have a few more like this, then yes it could come across as petty. Also it is no fun to work with some whose anger is often surprising and then contagious.

I said outlier above because I use Teams everyday and would never have thought anyone would dislike it let alone be angered by it. But some of the other comments echo your sentiment so perhaps there is something in my blindspot and I am glad for that.
No one has really written "the book" on Data Science for marketing yet - this is nice peek into a small slice of that world.
shouldn't the onus of proving that there was no fraud be on the govt, instead of the other way around.

In an ideal world is there way to prove definitively that there was no fraud? Or is this something unprovable.
Then you would be mistaken. Google isn't stupid, they know huge swathes of their employee base want to live close to work and be in walkable neighborhoods. Mountain View isn't like most American towns, they're already overflowing with great tech jobs, so the fact that Google wants something doesn't really faze them.
I think working at a medium sized company that's been around for a while is probably about as good as going to a big company.

I mean, in a big company, you're unlikely to actually know people outside of your immediate working responsibilities, so you don't really get the chance to network across the organization.

Also, I mean, if you don't have any super great ideas... there are worse things to do than help someone implement their idea.
Is this the new HN equivalent of 'first'?

They exist - google for auto darkening helmet, and they use LCDs.

The UV and infrared are always filtered (by the glass), and the LCD handles darkening the visible light.

That is a Linuxism. I found out the hard way setting up some Solaris 9 scripts last summer.
These "down the hole" investigations can sometimes be used as the basis for open-ended interview questions.

I always ask candidates to tell me everything that happens between the time that they see an interesting link on the screen, click on it, and see the result. I've had great answers in the space of 2 minutes, and amazing ones that covered 15 or more. Some of the more spectacular answers referenced neurons, muscles, round-robin DNS, firewalls, load balancers, application servers, and more. I can really determine if they know how the web works or not.
With rclone you can encrypt data locally while uploading. This allows you to host everything from home and use the cloud only for backups, basically end-to-end encrypted.
This right here; but even more so.

Eventually, whatever platform / tool you use will need to be upgraded. Security vulnerabilities, new features, etc happen and projects like these can get abandoned within a 5-year timeframe. When you have to migrate to either a new or upgraded platform, you have to figure it all out yourself. When the config is broken by an upstream dependency, you’re on the hook too. Who knows if the build tools you used still work on current versions of things.

Like it or not, we’re all kind of stuck on these platforms we don’t control. The alternative is to become fluent in yet another technical stack, but one that will be used infrequently and won’t really translate to anything else unless you’re trying to build your own cloud service on consumer-grade hardware.
I guess you have to eat a bit more if you ride more, I certainly notice when I bike to work (5mi each way, 300ft climb) that I need to eat a bit more food. Certainly no where near the energy of a car though but its not zero. Assuming you want to maintain your weight.
How can you be a nonconformist religious person? Do you not conform to whatever book you are following?
> The Spaghetti Carbonara recipe actually has multiple mistakes

One of them being that it's called "Spahetti Carbonara".

Separately, the recipe calls for whole eggs rather than egg yolks. This is a somewhat contentious issue, and many chefs have opinions one way or another. This recipe appears like it's The Definitive Spa(g)hetti Carbonara, but doesn't acknowledge that many consider it to be incorrect.

For me this is an issue with all recipe sites – my level of cooking ability, my ingredient preferences, how "authentic" I want to be, opinions I've formed on particular dishes – these are all very personal to me and unlikely to be fully represented in recipe sites.

I've started keeping my own recipe collection comprised of recipes I've made and enjoyed, I make no attempt to make them publishable, and I edit them as much as I feel necessary.

I don't know - in their current forms BTC/ETH offer a stupendously wasteful, environmentally disastrous way to add / subtract numbers or execute bits of code for $10-20 a transaction, for bits of digital data that, based on the mania of the masses may be worth $100 this week and $5000 next week.

I've read the white paper and the Ethereum yellow paper - the technology is undeniably fascinating and cool, and I have some hope for proof-of-stake systems curbing the current waste, but in their present form they're almost useless as a monetary / payment system, and the only thing I really see happening in the crypto space is various get-rich-quick schemes based around issuing probably-worthless tokens of data, and a million and one ways to convert them amongst each other.
I had one of those drives at one of my accounts when I worked for StorageTek. Pretty impressive piece of gear for the time, and thankfully they were pretty solid - I feared ever having to work on it.
The question was about acceptance, which is demonstrate by the existence of these programs.

The further question of resource is a good one. And its not about money, which is after all, imaginary points on a scorecard. The real question is where are the goods coming from? It'll have to be automation, because the premise is that people won't be working.
True, but the complaint that people tend to come up with is that Python is not statically typed. What they are looking for here are things such as clear, accurate and reliable IntelliSense, and the ability to right click on a method definition, select "Rename", and be assured that the refactoring will be propagated through to every usage throughout your codebase with no false positives and no false negatives.

For me, Cmd+Opt+[Down Arrow] jumps to definition. I don't think I set that up as a custom keybinding anywhere.

Unless I'm mistaken, the GM has shipped to developers, and is highly likely to be bit-for-bit identical with the public release.
We still haven't seen delivery of the gaming case that's been promised for what seems like years now. The demand is certainly there for DPads, so I wonder why the huge holdup. Apple certainly makes it difficult for third-party hardware vendors to release legitimately supported attachments that make use of the connector (otherwise you often need to jailbreak).

Some games, like Tetris, racing games, and retro games, would function so much better with a physical DPad than a virtual screen based one.

Can’t you just...pop out the window like any other? I don’t get it
I grew up in Silicon Valley and had never seen a cardinal in the wild until a couple years ago. Currently in the Midwest and see them in my yard and I love them. My home office has a bay window and there is a bush that backs up to part of it, so I can look into the bush. The cardinals love to go in it and I can watch them from my desk. It really is a delight.

I also love goldfinches. I had a bird feeder that only they can eat from and had so much fun watching them. Plus it made it so I can instantly recognize their calls.

And the tufted titmouse is the cutest regular I see.
> That is applicable to the era portrayed in the Mary Poppins movie, but not in a modern banking system. Even in the early twentieth century "bank runs" was something people would talk about when what was really going on was asset deterioration and breakdowns in the capital market.

Not quite. Yes, bank runs nowadays are very rare, but they can still happen, as exemplified by Northern Rock in 2007[1]

"On 14 September 2007, the bank sought and received a liquidity support facility from the Bank of England, to replace funds it was unable to raise from the money market. Reporting of this complex scenario led to panic among individual depositors, who feared that their savings might not be available should Northern Rock go into receivership. The result was a bank run – the UK's first in 150 years – where depositors lined up outside the bank to withdraw all of their savings as quickly as possible, particularly since many others were doing the same."

And then it gets interesting when your are not able to run your system by yourself. Which happens in plenty of circumstances.

Eg You are writing software for a planned device which is operating on Mars. First, the device doesn't exist yet, second, it's hard to simulate the Mars environment locally.

I did such projects for very expensive devices. Think of nuclear power plants or formula 1 race cars. Thanksfully you cannot complain loudly "I need to be able to run this thing locally!". Your job is also to figure out how to simulate the environment, and to do a proper job without being able to test everything beforehand.
You say this, but the Pi 1 was released, what, nine years ago? And sales have apparently been good enough for them to also build the Pi 2, 3, 4, compute modules, Zero, and Zero W, as well as a standalone keyboard, and now a microcontroller. It's spawned an entire ecosystem of add-on boards, as well as other entire lines of SBCs built by other companies.

I really don't think you can drive nearly a decade of all that just from people buying one and tossing it in a desk drawer. I think maybe your perception of the Pi's popularity and real-world usage doesn't reflect reality.
Nitpick: It would be more correct to say that FB collects GST for the Australian Tax Office. In an accounting sense only consumers actually pay GST.

Also worth pointing out that FB’s tax bill in Australia is pretty minimal (rightly or wrongly). The tax on these payments could easily end up being worth more than Facebook’s tax bill in Australia.

FB’s Australian revenue last year was $2.2 billion on which they paid $13.5 million in tax (https://www.afr.com/companies/media-and-marketing/google-fac...).

Actually if you think of these measures as a creative way around US strong arming on a digital services tax they make a lot more sense despite the legislation itself being a weird mess.
Thanks the kind reply. I didn't mean to come down hard on you!
There are also great while riding a bike.
This is exactly what I've done the last few interview cycles I went through. For me, my screening interview was with a company that had a tone of public problems with treatment of female engineers and fired the ceo soon after. But they had some good engineers too. I interviewed with them and it was a mess, but I did get good experience. I thought I failed, they never told me, then 6 months later tried to get me to come do a full loop.

I think it's a smart strategy to pick 1 or 2 companies you'd never want to work out, including for low pay, and do your practice there. You should tell them if you pass why you don't want to come there, including for the low pay.
Yeah, Digital Ocean $5 per month is where I started. Do it yourself, the tools are out there!
How will your second union enforce the contract you negotiate without lawyers? When you want to file a grievance, the shop steward walks you down to the nearest free legal aid office?
>The Costco CEO is using the political process to hamstring competitors.

How so? They're paying more than the proposed new minimum wage, so the political process is moot for them. The other companies were invited to come and give their opinions; they chose to decline. If the optics of it aren't good for Walmart, et al., that's not Costco's fault.
Well there's the evidence that any firm short at $20 would have been dead if they didn't get out before $200. I'm only aware of one firm that went bankrupt, and it wasn't Melvin or another major fund.

Put yourself in the firm's position and think about this from a game theoretic perspective...what is the upside in lying? The thinking is that you might convince people to lay off the voracious buying if you make it seem like the short squeeze isn't possible because you're out? That seems like a stretch and would require navigating lots of wild assumptions about why this almost unprecedented price action is happening.

On the other hand, there is tons of downside. If the plan doesn't work and the price continues its meteoric rise, you're bankrupt. If you're caught lying, you're additionally hit with securities fraud. Then the veil is pierced and the partners are at risk of losing their money. On top of this if your investors are savvy they'll sue you for breaking fiduciary duty because you didn't close out a position that makes selling naked SPY calls look safe. This also puts the partners' private capital at risk.

It would be cartoonishly dumb to lie about closing the position instead of actually doing it.
I guess I'm just lucky. My current personal spam corpus goes back to 2019-05-30. Of the 39454 messages only 80 of them have a ".google.com" server as the immediately preceding "Received:" hop.
> This isn’t a claim that I have zero downtime at home. It’s only to say that if my Bitcoin node is offline then any hope of relying on fiat banking was abandoned much earlier.

Even if I had a setup like yours, I'd give up on bitcoin before "fiat banking." You can't buy gas for your generator with bitcoin.
"you are part of the problem"
I said more neutral—it's all relative. If there's another source which is more neutral yet, we can change it again.

Keep in mind that we know nothing about Indian politics here. All I know is that threads about it lead to even worse flamewars than threads about U.S. politics these days, and that's saying something.

Why are you so set on digital cash? I completely agree, Bitcoin is a bad replacement for cash, just like gold bullion is.

10 dollars is a steep confirmation price but if you have a life savings of, say, the equivalent of a few hundred or thousand USD that you hold in cash and your local currency is rapidly inflating making it worthless, btc is an amazing life raft that you could put your money into. If you are able to migrate and get a high paying job and still have family somewhere far away in the world that you want to help, $10 fee is not that crazy to send them monthly payments that they could then trade for cash or food.

Then there are obviously the side chain solutions, lightning network, or even just using exchanges to transfer btc to altcoins with faster settling times and lower fees if you really do want digital cash.
Sure. Of course the situation could change. I hope it does. But right now people do not care enough to do anything about it, just like people before those other revolutions didn't (yet) care enough. When will that change though, tomorrow? Next year? Next decade? I have no idea, all I can do is relate what I know of the situation over there as I have experienced it.

Right, those were just examples, there are many (many!) more interesting languages.

Pike is a bit of a special case due to its history though. I first learned it in the 90ties, when I joined an effort to port some MUD from LPC - Pike's predecessor - to Pike. At the time both LPC and Pike looked very weird to me, coming from mostly static, compiled languages like C and Pascal. A "mixed" datatype (like void* in C) with type predicates was something new to me, built-in mappings and other high-level datatypes were too. I don't remember the details, but I think both Pike and LPC had an unusual object system, closer to prototype-oriented languages like Self, JS, Io or Lua than to "normal" class-based ones (but I may be wrong on this). Anyway, it's another good example of solid and mature but unpopular (to the point of obscurity) languages.

This replacement keyboard for Android saves clips and allows the user to select and paste them into any application. Most importantly, it allows the user to delete the contents of the clipboard. It also allows the user to "pin" certain clips to be retained for future pasting. Clip storage.

If one needs a further reason to replace the keyboard, consider that the default keyboard on Google phones, Gboard, tries to phone home to Google. A keyboard that expects internet access. Incredible.
Same, I found many false flags.
What I find interesting is that most western countries have this kind of government funded programs of one kind or another... and yet they hardly produce any medical breakthroughs.

Perhaps the interesting thing would be to ask what particular thing makes the US different to other western countries, rather than cherry picking one particular thing that happens to agree with whatever ideology is popular today.
You can get one from a place that doesn't do that, and use that as your Signal number for now.
I love SketchUp unfortunately it seems to not be maintained. At least the free one lags on a gaming computer. So at some point I have to drop time to learn something like F360. Just sucks when you know something really well and can just model things/no learning curve.

It was illegal to export certain classes of cryptography software. It was however never illegal to export books about that software. So what they did was publish a hardback book about the algorithm [1], which contained the entire source code of the software. This book was then freely sold all around the world. Now all you had to do was scan and OCR the relevant pages, cat together the resulting files and compile. All perfectly legal.

I remember there being distributed proof-reading groups on Usenet and IRC where you would get 1 page of OCR'd text and the corresponding scanned image and you would manually go through and verify and correct the source code.
