The underlying problem hasn't gone away though. A company which gets into long-term corporate leases in the most expensive real estate markets in the world and rents out the space by the day (or with a monthly subscription) exposes itself to too much risk due to market fluctuations and economic downturns. Plus, the level of service people expect out of these spaces is just unrealistic for the price they are willing to pay.

A quiet working space in a fancy office building in the most upscale commercial area of the city with tech company amenities included is going to realistically cost a lot more than $200/month. There is a reason WeWork set billions of dollars on fire.
How does Stellar Consensus prevent double-spends?

Imagine I have a private key to an address with 10 coins. Imagine I spend the same amount of money (10 coins) on Mars and Earth at the same time. There is a 10-lightminute gap between Mars and Earth. Assume Mars and Earth have a similar number of Stellar nodes. What happens in Stellar Consensus?
If they weren't using this as an opportunity to pump some shitcoin, this might make sense. Bitcoin Lightning integration would be much less suspect, for example, because A) it's already well established B) they're not going to make a quick buck off it.
Look, if CPUs were better at memory latency, the BVH-traversal of raytracing would still be done on CPUs.

BVH-tree traversals are done on the GPU now for a reason. GPUs are better at latency hiding and taking advantage of larger sets of bandwidth than CPUs. Yes, even on things like pointer-chasing through a BVH-tree for AABB bounds checking.

GPUs have pushed latency down and latency-hiding up to unimaginable figures. In terms of absolute latency, you're right, GPUs are still higher latency than CPUs. But in terms of "practical" effects (once accounting for latency hiding tricks on the GPU, such as 8x way occupancy (similar to hyperthreading), as well as some dedicated datastructures / programming tricks (largely taking advantage of the millions of rays processed in parallel per frame), it turns out that you can convert many latency-bound problems into bandwidth-constrained problems.

-----------

That's the funny thing about computer science. It turns out that with enough RAM and enough parallelism, you can convert ANY latency-bound problem into a bandwidth-bound problem. You just need enough cache to hold the results in the meantime, while you process other stuff in parallel.

Raytracing is an excellent example of this form of latency hiding. Bouncing a ray off of your global data-structure of objects involved traversing pointers down the BVH tree. A ton of linked-list like current_node = current_node->next like operations (depending on which current_node->child the ray hit).

From the perspective of any ray, it looks like its latency-bound. But from the perspective of processing 2.073 million rays across a 1920 x 1080 video game scene with realtime-raytracing enabled, its bandwidth bound.
Because the writers want to build support to expropriate that racial group. Just imagine if it was "mostly Jewish men and women" and it's easy to see. In this case the cofounders actually were both Jewish, so they are both racially white and ethnically Jewish. If they identified them by their ethnicity or religious identification in such a sentence, they'd get a call from the ADL. You can write or say anything you want about whites in the most incendiary Radio Rwanda type terms and keep your job while advancing your social standing in the United States.

>Why can't we have a federated standard for chat, controlled by no one? It seems that we have come close at various times but it has never happened. Will it ever happen? Or is it already too late?

This is why I simply love IRC.
This is different from the "browser wars", because the thing that people are trying to access through their choice of messenger app does not look, feel, and function differently depending on which one they choose. The experience doesn't break because one chat application decides to implement one feature and others don't because they aren't supposed to work together.

It's similar, however, in that consumers have a lot of choice, with no one chat application really being that much better than any other in terms of features or experience, just that if we could just get everyone on one and for that one application to continue to improve, everything would be great, in theory.

This isn't going to stop any time soon.

Again, static code.

So his point is not that we shouldn't run code at all, but that we shouldn't run code that heavily processes user inputs, or worse, evaluate generated code as DCMSs sometimes do.

Of course you can argue the no code is truly static, because it depends on the user input, but I don't think this is what you're arguing here.
According to Google [1] "300 million people active in just the stream" which means that either:
1) author is wrong,
2) Google is considering the fact of being logged into G+ and, say, using Google search counts, or
3) 98% of activity is made private.

I bet it's a mix of all three with emphasis on something 2-ish. ;]

You know if you dig past a comic you may find that there are literally 100s of hours of video uploaded every year about this. Just type UFO video 2014. Its not like this ever stopped, people just stopped reporting about it significantly.
I worked in the air-force as ground-crew servicing F-16 for a year. Every now and then they would exercise gun target-practice by having one jet tow a red "sail" (I think it was called a "taxan"). The towing-line was several hundred feets long, and the towing jet would fly in a large circle. The practice always intrigued me, and seemed very low-tech compared to some of the other stuff in the domain.
Don't know if that was what you saw but - they did not fire missiles at the target how ever, and certainly not over populated area. They always flew out over the North-sea.
Debian Testing or Unstable?
I’ve been using unreal for the past 6 months to make a game. It’s not as easy to get started with as unity is, but if you are good at figuring stuff out then it’s just a powerhouse. The renderer is incredible, the workflows are modular, you can work in a data driven way, you can modify skeletal animations in-engine, performance is amazing, etc etc etc. It’s also stable, and non-production ready features are clearly identified as beta or experimental.

I wish this was next week so I could post a link to my alpha build at the bottom of this post
Ironically, "consistency" is ambiguous here.

Using MiB avoids confusion, misuse, and ambiguity.

Uniformity (what you're also calling "consistency"), if it's even warranted here, would be far lower priority and could wait.

I’ve owned the car for 2 weeks and it’s rained nearly every day. Turning the wipers on has been a non-issue. If they don’t automatically turn on, tap the stalk (not unlike on any other car) and they are on for 4-5 seconds and the control is up on your screen. Tap the speed you want. But auto works so well its something that has never bothered me.

Why this guy hit a tree or whatever is beyond me, I’m not a Tesla expert by any means, but it seems to me like tapping the stalk or saying “Wiper on” doesn’t require looking away from the window..
Fundamentally the responsibility is my own. They did not make my job discerning what I needed to use the service easy though.
> So far, automakers have not taken notice, and I am beginning to think they don't much care what I think.

On the one side, you have improved ergonomics and increased safety for the driver. But that needs to be weighed against:

- Lower and more streamlined production costs, because if you stuff the UI into a touchscreen, all the car designers need to worry about is where to place a rectangular slab of glass; all UI design and adjustments can be made in parallel, likely by a contractor, and it has zero impact on manufacturing the car itself.

- Better marketability, as you can present touchscreens as high tech (despite buying the cheapest possible ones that can render an image and occasionally register touch events).

That other side benefits the vendor much more than user satisfaction.
In the context of this specific article, that wouldn't have worked. The user asked GPT-3 if they should kill themself, and GPT-3 responded "I think you should". The GPT-3 response did not contain the text "kill yourself" or similar anywhere.
I think you misunderstood my point about spouse and kids: it wasn't about getting away from them, but about juggling work with kids vying for attention -- how do you explain a 2 year old that daddy has to work and cannot play with her for a few hours, and that she must stay locked in because there's a lockdown outside? -- and a couple sharing very limited space working at the same time (just think of Zoom meetings!).

If I could I'd spend most of the day enjoying time with my daughter and give my employer about half an hour of my attention. Sadly, I need a full time job.

If you can go live in a cabin in the woods, congrats! You're part of the elite. Please understand the rest of us who aren't.

It makes all the sense in the world that affluent people with large houses or living in beautiful locations, without kids, or with antisocial tendencies ("hermits", as you put it) are doing well during this pandemic. What about the rest of us?

It's both, really. They stop producing updates entirely after a year or two to deliberately cripple old machines, and when they do send updates they are often many months late.
As your comment implies, the HN guidelines don't have much to do with being right or being wrong. They're mostly about how to behave when one is right (or feels one is), or someone else is wrong (or one feels they are). That's the most common case, after all, and feeling right is what makes people feel like it's ok to be snarky or mean.

Truth is what we're after, so posting right things and correcting wrong things is important. Yet if you think about it, it's neither a sufficient condition for a good HN post, nor a necessary one.

It isn't a sufficient condition because people sometimes express true things in aggressive ways that damage the container and end up discrediting the truth*. That hurts all of us.

It isn't a necessary condition, either, because people are often wrong in good faith, with the intention of finding the truth. There certainly shouldn't be a rule against that. Freedom to make mistakes is essential to curiosity and key to finding the truth in the end.

Your point over everything being a singular linked list is a very good one. Even as a lisp user I wish that things were specified in terms of a sequence protocol rather than a list data structure. I believe Clojure rectifies this historical anomaly. In their defense the people creating Lisp didnt have any prior art and were making rules as they went along.
Definitely can use a designer's help. Yes, shorter messages are better.
Marketing message is kind of weak. I like the more concise text.

You are right. The 3 steps are superficial. I have trouble coming up with 3 steps. It's really just 1 step.

Great feedback. I'll make the changes to simplify the page.
It's at least worth running more experiments.

This could simply be a function of sales. Android is now outselling iPhone by a two to one margin. Most of these sales are to people who have never had a smartphone before, and they're totally wowed by Android. So it would make sense that these users, when polled, would prefer another Android phone--after all, it's miles better than the dumb phone that they were previously using. They've never used an iPhone and don't see why they need one, especially given the higher price of the iPhone (most Android phones are dirt cheap, relatively speaking).

The Android installed base is 37% but only 31% of smartphone buyers want Android to be their next phone. The iPhone installed base is 27% but 30% of users want the iPhone to be their next phone. Whether or not this indicates the strength of Android, or the weakness of Android, depends on how many of those polled already own a smartphone. If most of the polled group don't own a smartphone at all, then it's pretty good for Android. If the polled group reflects current smartphone market share, then iPhone looks relatively strong, because that would indicate more existing Android owners want to move to the iPhone than vice-versa.
Trying to guilt people into paying more for your product by complaining about the price of doctors' visits and how hard you worked on your product is a terrific business model.
I still have issues with zoom and audio cutting when multiple people speak at once. They seem to have gotten better over the last few years, but it still feels very jarring and disrupts the flow of conversation.

You're right, of course. I was misinterpreting the footnote at the bottom.

It says it's fully functional without config settings in Firefox 98, too, although it looks like the max Firefox version I can get for the Mac through the normal update process is 97. So... soon, apparently.
I know right? Especially when you've just booted up and half your apps are still realising they've just been opened and screaming for attention. They should just open in the background and only appear when I look for them. I don't understand why they haven't tackled that in 18 macOS versions. Simply launching an app with a flag saying "this is not a user-initiated launch but a reopen, stay back" would fix it.

At least bootup is a lot quicker on the latest M1s (privately I use KDE now but for work iIm still on Mac)
This sounds really cool!

> Cheap supermarket budget brands full of chemicals, hormones and preservatives? Yes. Quality stuff, no.

This is in the EU, regulation basically prevents excesses like that in most cases.

Furthermore, price doesn’t have to be a predictor of quality. E.g. LIDL/Aldi (budget chains) commonly win awards for best vegetables.

I used to spend ~150-200 on food per month when I was living by myself and wasn’t strictly managing it for low cost. Now with a family of 3, we spend 300-400€ a month on groceries (incl bread and meat) and are never holding back on anything because of price.

So, 5€ per day doesn’t sound unreasonable even in the Netherlands. Note: we eat vegetarian 5 out of 7 days, without that we’d probably spend 100-150 more.

Edit: I get that this doesn’t work everywhere. When I lived in the US (NYC) and tried to cook my own meals I couldn’t believe 1) how few supermarkets there were and 2) how high prices for basic food were. Eating out was basically cheaper :/
Thanks for the feedback and that's an interesting suggestion. The biggest hindrance to that is that murex has builtin support for structured data types which would mean any transpiled code might then depend on non-standard tools like `jq`. But it's an interesting enough problem that I might have a play if just out of academic curiosity.

I've created a Github issue so the suggestion doesn't get forgotten: https://github.com/lmorg/murex/issues/281
Is it?

How much is it compared to maintaining Bitcoin?
I'm not the person you responded to, but I view this scenario as unethical because you felt it was appropriate to profit off wasting my time -- even under the veneer of politely asking, for the same reason that there any other number of things you can politely ask to do but should know better than to ask to do -- and didn't even think the share the profit with me (at a minimum with the majority share being mine, since clearly you value your time less than I value mine, otherwise you wouldn't be giving me an advertising pitch).

Your scenario has the appearance, more or less, of a not especially pushy door to door salesman. Don't knock on my door. Leave me alone. You know no one wants their door knocked on. Leave everyone alone.
I emailed rms about this question in 2018. Here's his response:

The term "MIT license" is a confusion. It is used to describe two
different licenses; see https://gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html.
We call them the X11 license and the Expat license. To distinguish
them, we do not use the term "MIT license".

The X11 license was, as far as I know, first used by X11.
I don't know how it was written -- the question is not interesting to me.

After emailing a few other people I got a response from Hal Abelson. Hal's recollection is that it was written by Karen Hershey in the Technology Licensing Office. Hal said that him and Gerald Sussman asked that the license be written for Scheme. Karen Hershey is perhaps a misremembering of or married name of the Karen Keefe in the document's figure 1.
It’s not whataboutism. You need to secure value somehow. USD is secured with banks and bombs. BTC uses energy to secure value. We will never meaningfully cut our energy usage as a species (with or without BTC) we need clean energy not to move back into the Stone Age.
Voynich, whatever it is, is internally consistent in its glyphs. There's only a small overlap between the glyphs (at least what I can make out as distinct glyphs... always tricky when you don't know what you're looking at) in this sample compared to Voynich. Probably just coincidental, like how they all have a glyph that looks like Latin lowercase 'b'.

CoffeeScript is much like HAML or SASS, where the end result is actual Javascript that can be parsed by the browser. It's only designed to make it easier to write the code, not to replace the code. When I write HAML in my Rails app, the app parses it and send the browser actual HTML. CS will do the same.

Remember, though: only about half of NASA's budget is spent on space exploration (I assume that mostly goes on STS/ISS, and that will probably change if/when they retire the shuttle.) They do a lot of other good science too.

None of that changes the fact that working with SpaceX is an awesome thing, but I very much doubt it'll make NASA obsolete anytime soon.

I disagree. I think people shop for a phone the way many people (unfortunately) shop for a new car: On the monthly payment, not the sticker price. All that matters is that the carriers finance the phone, subsidies are dying. Every major US carrier now has installment options.

Well I suppose if you want to look at it like that, than by strict definition, you're right, we can still have a functioning society without capital markets.

But as today's cities/nation states, at some comparable level of comfort and consumption, we cannot function without those markets. Hence why there are those of us who believe they are the foundation of modern society.
