Sure, my comment wasn't tax code specific. There is always risk involved, but it's much less. If you need to do it anyway, better pressure a lawyer into giving you a legal opinion. The company will pay pay the fine but who can blame you for acting on it.

In a big corp, I think most employees are concerned with saving the day. If the management pressures them to cut corners most will. What better way is there to pass the blame?
Apparently Blade Runner was set yesterday.

Well, we're there folks. Just needs VTOL. ;)

I love the new look and am curious about if the exoskeleton has crumple points to reduce the kinetic energy imparted to the passengers during a collision.
there's no way this is what the production version will look like. US still requires side-view mirrors, for instance.
I laughed at the Model Y unveil, but looking at this I am experiencing "Sam Neill 'In the Mouth of Madness' " paroxysms of laughter. What an ugly hunk of garbage.

Thanks.

It scratches one thing off the bucket list, and many members of my family who expected me to go get a PhD will be tickled by it. In terms of actual utility, it is highly unlikely I'll ever have a CV again, but it makes a nice thing to have for e.g. visa applications. "Published in a prestigious academic journal" matters more to the Ministry of Justice than "has a whole lot of HN karma."

Now all I need is to find someone to cite it in Japanese...

The repositories are awesome. Especially for programming and stuff.

But.. I hate when I want a beta version of some software and it's not in the repositories. Then it's a bit annoying.

I think a mix of the Windows way and repositories would be the best for the average user.
Regarding Heroku's plan to continue relying on a company, Amazon, that failed them before:

If Heroku evolves to an architecture in which they utilize multiple AWS regions (as they mention in lesson #1 of their post-mortem) and if each region has a distinctly partitioned API "control plane," this should result in a materially improved availability situation for Heroku. EC2 Availability Zones guard against machine, power, and building failures. EC2 Regions should theoretically guard against API infrastructure and AWS software code failures.

Heroku need not necessarily ditch their current single-IaaS-provider architecture in order to achieve significantly better control over their service's uptime.

On the other hand, when downtime does occur, the ability for Heroku to prioritize their incident response manpower to first handle paying customers has its limits based on their downstream dependencies. If all the broken bits are within Amazon's black box, Heroku doesn't have much control over prioritization (Amazon fixes your stuff whenever it gets around to fixing your stuff). If Heroku operated over multiple cloud providers, even with the added complexity of such an approach, at least Heroku would have control over choosing which of their most important customers to migrate first to a working cloud, away from a broken and black box cloud.

In the end, I certainly don't see these considerations as simple. It's easy to cry when things go wrong, but I think the level of scalability and availability that has been achieved up to the present is quite noteworthy.

If we were trying to figure out the logic behind a series of numbers and only were given the first four, and had no luck, wouldn’t we want to know the fifth?
When it comes to computer graphics, "deprecated/obscure" tech is the tech that is comprehensively documented from the ground up. There is some documentation about internals of the Raspberry Pi SoC and GPU, but sadly not enough to make it a compelling demoscene target.
At the very least, the inner loop should be over X, since that is how the pixels are packed.
Too bad author forgot to mention the tradeoff.

This pattern violates DRY the hard way. I think most seen example is Go, where stdlib has no "http.Client" interface but only a struct.

So every implementation of http client at some point gets the same copy-pasted code for the interface, so it could use it for that pattern of mocking. I'm not saying it's bad - I'm also doing it. It's just a design decision.
I use pandoc with mkfiles. Very simple, but really lots of possibilities (I have added liveliness checks for links and spell checks, etc).
>>People aren't going to vote against the hand that feeds them.

This is demonstrably false. Here in the US, conservative states are net recipients for federal aid, yet they continue voting for the party that is determined to shrink the federal government and abolish many of the aid programs they are benefiting from.

Context Free is incredibly fun but it's not machine learning or even AI. And it's very easy to understand how things go from defintions of shape, rotations, translations, etc, to the finished image.

Running two chunks in sequence is currently not supported, but I've been considering a separate block (or a customization of a run of a chunk) that could allow that behavior.

Adding looping functionality to play would also be a nice addition.

Future plans wise, in the short term I'm looking to address some bugs and proposed features. But generally want to get the interpreter to a stable state
I caught Chris Martens' talk at Strange Loop 2013 on linear logic programming. Sadly what I understood I've long since forgotten, but if you're interested in looking at some of the logic programming space outside Prolog itself, worth a gander.

This is pretty much true, but with a catch - wifi is contention based. If two access points are close enough to hear each other's transmissions and they are operating on the same channel they will share that channel's bandwidth. Wifi was designed this way for exactly this reason, and it's probably why wifi still kind-of works even in large apartment buildings.
It's not proof that _he_ necessarily removed it, but considering it wasn't brought down by the actual repo maintainer, and that any repos created to replace it by other users at the time were taken down as well, it's a safe assumption that someone at GH did.

There's several more sources regarding this, but I'm on a terrible mobile connection at the moment. Googling around will get you a bit more info for the story.
It's a bit challenging to find more details on Tidal's site. Their homepage is a livestream of an event, and there is no context on the page as to what the event is. Possibly their launch event?

Watching the product video on the 'Explore Tidal' page makes me think of Spotify. They look to have complete feature parity with the only additional selling point being a higher quality audio stream. My initial reaction is, well...that is great if I had nice speakers, but my apple headphones certainly can't tell the difference.

It's good to see other people competing with Spotify and I'm hopeful that Tidal can have better content curation than Spotify.
I think the real problem is one of aligning incentives. I would welcome open plan offices much more if I was incentivized for team performance.

Instead I get forced into open collaboration-enhancing offices with the idea of increasing team productivity. But on scrums and all other things I am judged on the merits of personal productivity (tickets closed, issues resolved, whatever). This leaves me disgruntled because I have no way of showing to project managers that I've helped N people with their issues. They only care how many issues I closed.

This then shapes my personal values and how I judge myself as well. Which in turn makes me shun the open plan office. Which in turn ultimately makes me a worse engineer a few years down the line.

This is a problem.
I generally agree with this (although who fucking cares if the company doesn't give you parking but pays you $1k/mo more; if 90% of people use transit in SF, I'm fine with paying parking).

I think you underestimate Bezos's technical clue, though.

And a 1y cliff is pretty standard. There's no real downside to that.

Mazewalk is more than cute, it also occurs when encoding trees whose leaves are operations and whose branches are relative context modifications. (where our key optimisation is that we needn't restore contexts in tail position, just as Mazewalk doesn't palindromise its last unary tree)

Consider it as an alternative to the more common strategy of absolutising the modifications onto the leaves in a first tree walk, and then executing all the now-labelled leaves in arbitrary order in a second pass.
Host an FTP server, or send the APK's thru MTP.

Or, from a a PC from Linux hosting a directory of APK's (if you connect your phone to the same wireless lan):

it will work.

Then send the Fdroid/Fedy APK to install new browsers.

If that's all you've heard, it's likely that you are coming from a position of ignorance regarding events in the hydrogen world. There's hundreds of billions of dollars of investment right now, and even Toyota is arguably a small player in all of this.

That said, they and a few others (Hyundai, Honda, several Chinese companies, and a bunch of startup companies), are the ones pushing this in passenger cars. So from that perspective, it's not too far off from the truth.

However, outside of passenger cars hydrogen has been pretty much the dominant topic. 2020 was basically the year that utility companies, industrial companies, heavy transport companies, and multiple nations realized that hydrogen was both doable and in fact necessary in order to create a zero-emission world. Once you start looking at those industries, this becomes much more apparently.

Meanwhile, there's been nothing of substances when it comes to new battery technology. There's always a major announcement of some kind, but it never materializes into anything real. Sure, companies continue to put money into it, and that includes Toyota, but I suspect a continuation of nothing being achieved in reality.

> If you want to be carbon neutral, but quickly refuel, why hydrogen and not just synthetic hydrocarbons? What's the point of replacing all the infrastructure?

Synthetic fuels are one of the major ideas being pursued as being part of the hydrogen society. That and ammonia, among a few other hydrogen storage ideas. These aren't ignored ideas, and multiple companies are pursuing them. We could very well ships or airplanes powered by chemical made by combining hydrogen with carbon or nitrogen.

However, the main realization seems to be that hydrogen itself isn't that difficult to handle. With proper precautions and the right use materials it doesn't leak or corrode. It can be blended with natural gas at something like 15%, and if the pipelines are retrofitted it seems like 100% is perfectly doable. It can also be stored underground in vast quantities too, similar to how natural gas is stored in salt domes and caverns. Improvements in electrolysis and fuel cell technology seem to make using hydrogen both efficient and potentially very cheap. There's a lot of talk of green hydrogen being cheaper than fossil fuels within the decade. And you'll need anyways it for industrial heat and chemical related reasons, so we're almost at the point where hydrogen is unavoidable.
The amount of energy required to send something into the sun is quite high. It's not like driving 93 million miles, you have to change the orbit of the waste away from Earth's orbit.

Because it creates perverse incentives to never fix the problem, lie about it, deny it, and cover it up, because fixing it means accepting liability.
Occasionally, you can find one on craigslist or at a yard sale for a couple of bucks. They're pretty much indestructable, and printer ribbons can be found online.

I used to work as a service rep at an airline. We used these things extensively for printing airline tickets. These tickets had four red carbon-copy type pages that needed to be printed at once, and a dot-matrix printer is the only thing that handeled this well. It was a small office and we had just a rickety old Star Gemini II printer, but I must have printed thousands of tickets with it before it was decomissioned when e-tickets made their entrance.
Pretty awesome... thanks. I have been putting off figuring out how to make sites on github. Since I didn't need the domain, I had a site in about 8 minutes, and now know how to create project pages as well.
I find wealthy public figures using there power and influence to push personal vanity causes in the public square as rather cheap and selfish. Not just Cook but in general. You do not magically gain moral or ethical credentials simply because you have managed to become extremely rich selling cellphones.

The tone of the piece simply echoes the Anti-Religious Freedom talking points that have made the rounds in the liberal press. Which have been rather cheap and inaccurate. that ruined its authenticity. its calculated and agenda driven. much like groups that try to sue little old lady bakers into bankruptcy because they feel that baking cakes for homosexual 'marriages' violates there religious vows. Its all rather cheap and hypocritical.
The opinions of powerful people are indeed appeals from authority by the media that (selectively) publish them.

So I would agree with this, sans the universal (there are powerful people who are experts in an area of law as a counterexample).

How could a media outlet make it more clear something is an opinion? They could put it in the title and in the body of the article as a start. They could add content to contextualize the opinion and remind the reader that the opinion maker holds no authority on the matter. They could link to opinion holders with opposing views but equal status. There are a myriad of ways they could do this - some of them very minimal ("Tom Cook opinion: Pro-discrimination 'religious freedom' laws are dangerous").
When you watch a video, you lose the freedom of the rate. People do not like to lose freedom.
Wow! That was a nostalgia moment. My first professional gig was in 1988 when I took over writing dBase code for an NSF sponsored evaluation project. That taught me enough to work internationally for USAID writing dbBase code for all kinds of projects around the world, and still make it back to the US in time to catch the beginning of the dotCom boom, Linux, and all of the other great stuff over the past 30+ years.

It was an awesome time. Folks laugh at all of the tech now, but QuickBasic 4.5, Turbo C++, and dBase were amazing tools for building stuff that was very cool at the time.

I have no idea. Binary never seemed to work all that well on HN and I'd rather people have to use their imaginations now and then. It's not quite 100 Years of Solitude but hopefully it's more like No Exit.
If a company doesn't want to provide services to another company, that's their choice. You don't have a right to use their software, nor should they be forced to provide services to people or companies that violate their rules.
Fed went on the gold standard in 1970.

I never characterized the Fed as an "evil puppet master" - that is an exaggeration. However, the Fed is certainly responsible for wealth inequality. It's a simple concept that is 100% backed by the financial and socioeconomic data:

- Rich people (small percent of population, i.e. "the 1%") own the vast majority of assets

- Fed is pumping massive amount of money into financial markets, which pumps up asset prices artificially

- Cost of living sky-rockets since the rich use their increased net worth to buy more assets, causing housing prices and other assets to skyrocket

- Purchasing power of the dollar to buy assets is severely decreased. Wages are stagnant but assets have skyrocketed. This causes feedback loops where the poor / middle-class don't have money to buy assets and the rich keep getting more money to buy more assets, hence runaway wealth inequality and social unrest.

No reason to have so much contempt against this argument. It's based on the evidence.

Hi HN,

I created this, when I was looking to arrange plans with former classmates in Philly. I had just had lunch with a friend, who was busy later in the evening, so I wanted to contact a bunch of classmates that I was available and looking to get dinner. However, two factors were a problem for me:
(1) I didn’t know who was available or wanted to grab dinner
(2) I didn’t want to juggle a bunch of conversations at once trying to secure plans.
I created Khuro originally for that purpose.

What Khuro does:

Khuro makes it easy to selectively share your availability, plans, thoughts or photos with your friends and friend groups.

The differentiating factor with Khuro is that (1) you control your audience amongst your friends easily and (2) all of the content you see is only content that your friends or friend groups have elected for you to see. So if I see on Khuro that my friend wants to grab dinner, I know that they had me in mind when they made that post.

Note that you will have to make an account to try it out. If you guys want to contact me, email will@khuro.com.
If the virus turned out to affect younger people more than older people, do you think we'd have a similar vaccination campaign? (Yes).

Dunno what the science says, but I really hate #000 on #fff, or vice-versa.

Yes, a lot of websites now go to the opposite extreme, but the reaction should simply be: so DON'T GO TO EXTREMES! Neither too much nor too little contrast are good.

And since you've pointed out they do go for sensible values here, why the outraged all caps???
