What were the many red flags? It looks to me like there was at most one: the flash cards. (And IMO zero, because the idea that having "bomb" written on a piece of paper makes someone suspicious is ludicrous.)
Apparently the RBMK design was in part based on the Soviet Union's much better ability to make pipes than truly large pressure vessels. It's graphite moderated, water is a neutron poison (+ positive void coefficient = outlawed in the the US by demand of Edward Teller, along with any but the newest of the CANDU designs), the pipes containing the fuel are vertical and can be individuality serviced, thanks of course due to its now notorious lack of containment. Almost certainly intended as a dual use reactor, although I wouldn't be surprised if only some of them were used to breed plutonium.

I would hope we have more knowledge of e.g. the Indian and Pakistani nuke systems, then again the simple fact that 90% of the CIA's employees work in the US is enough to make you highly skeptical of our nation's HUMINT. Then again we the US are primarily concerned with them falling into the wrong hands (a parochialism that does not enhance regional or ultimately world stability), and I heard back in the '80s from some friends who were in a position to know that we leaked to the Soviets everything they needed to know about Permissive Action Links to safeguard their nukes. And this of course eventually devolves to a people problem ... a very good argument against NP.

As for your last point, while I don't necessarily agree with it, I think the theory is that India isn't going to forswear nukes (South Africa is the only nation that has after developing them), India isn't an enemy, potential or real, like the other "nuclear rogue states" or likely ones in the future, so cozying up to them in this area is not going to produce the moral hazard WRT to the NPT and NP like, e.g., our tacit acceptance of Iran's imminent completion of warheads. And I'd note that on the other hand, our arranging the deposing and likely, although not inevitable death of Muammar Gaddafi demonstrated a very harsh lesson on giving up your WMD programs, undoing whatever good was done here WRT Saddam Hussein.

Of course, you could argue that the current situation with Iran is the sort of thing you'd expect by our not continuing an ultra hard line on NP. Me, I'm going to continue to keep handy my copies of Nuclear War Survival Skills along with all the other stuff I collected during the Cold War, including my mother's Civil Defense Block Mother sign, back from the late '60s when we still cared about the survival of the nation.
Thanks for the catch...I don't know why they do this to pro users.
I am not OP but since I agree with him 100% and your comment personally offends me:

"Your privilege is showing: if you are born male" - This pisses me beyond anything. What "privilege"? "Privilege" of having to admit my own mistakes and take personal responsibility for every step I take? So what if there are people "who encourage traditional gender roles"? (IMPLYING that gender roles are bad) Whose fault is it that you got "scammed" by these people and lost 4 years? Be happy that you figured out "scam" and take responsibility for falling for it.

What is more, this "privilege" offends me personally. I am male from poor country and poor family. I had "privilege" of getting education without any money (Did being man helped me to survive on 4sausages and 2 slices of bread a day? No.), I had "privilege" of going against peer pressure and choosing field everyone deemed 'uncool'(Yah, maybe "having balls" do help when it comes to surviving peer pressure). Hell I had "privilege" of getting lower grades in university because I wasn't woman... I just can't stand white handed feminists and white knights saying "check your privilege".

“I should have listened to my teachers rather than the people who convinced me science wasn't for women". No. It's not about that. Article is about "I should have listened to my teachers rather than the people who convinced me science wasn't for women. But I didn't, and I blame men instead of myself."
Who really cares what this does to the stock market today? It's about the long-term success of the company and the products that will lead it into the next generation (or not), and not the short-term fluctuation of stock.
That'd be the day that I introduce my fist to the monitor.
Funny thing that people tend to prefer Gates' version of Microsoft ( which is full of popular but sub-quality products) rather than Ballmer's version ( with unpopular but more stable products)

My take:

ps. I love Javascript :)
But they don't highlight any correlation. A correlation requires two trends, but they only describe one. Is piracy going down? They don't say.
Simple - it's better than google.

My primary use for google these days is searching sites, like this one and stackoverflow. If I want to find an unknown site based on a keyword, delicious guarantees me the best results most of the time.
Have you considered reaching out specifically to small businesses who are doing Twitter marketing? Maybe even within your city or state could be a good start.
I did, and it seems that at least bit.ly data is uploaded daily, but your point still stands - 301works does not have anything close to 100% shortener coverage.

I think it's almost entirely due to flash. Most users won't notice the difference between 32 and 64 bit machines, and it's still much simpler to use flash in a 32 bit browser. 32 bit chrome has flash bundled, and 64 bit chrome does not, which will cause confusion as well. At work, I use a 64bit OS with the pre-release of flash "square", but at home it's just easier to use 32 bit on my laptop.
This is a chance to really change the state of web developer training, and make it available to people for free around the world.

The only way it will work is through the peer learning model -- people teaching themselves and others, using smart tools and resources online. That's they only way it can scale. But if it works, it will have a massive impact.
Of course, you want to paint a despondent marketing outlook scenario then thrust an iron-clad buy-out contract for under his eager John Hancock.
From the article:

"Unfortunately there doesn’t appear to be user-friendly software available to help people generate Diceware passphrases"

This is silly. There are popular applications for every major phone OS that implement Diceware. Does anyone feel that they're untrustworthy?
43 unlicensed drivers managed to put 14,000 passengers at risk.

London is not an easy place to drive, and many of those passengers would have been vulnerable: lone females, people who had too much to drink, etc.

You might not consider it horrific, but by London standards it is completely unacceptable.
The service itself, the economic value of it. Probably would refer to the network and it's data, and the app. The car is irrelevant. Some might get a car provided, others might use their own. Focus is to make sure there is no fight between owners of the service and operators/users. Put them all on the same level (or simpler, make the operators the owners).
From what I've heard, most of the money for artists comes from doing concerts and selling merchandise, streaming revenue is a drop in the bucket. Unless you can create a brand around yourself, you probably won't be hugely succesful. It's kind of like a startup that needs to hire outside management help once they want to grow beyond their inhouse management abilities.
Yeah, it all would depend on traffic level. And for that, I first need to learn how to get media coverage.
The facilities they run don't appear to have the word "Dementia" in them. It's just the name of the company that designs and builds them.

See this one, called "Hogeweyk Care Centre": https://hogeweyk.dementiavillage.com/en/
4000U should make 3000U/H completely obsolete, it's the first mobile Zen 2 APU series.
All new businesses start out as purely worker-owned. Some of them just find it convenient to sell shares of the business (equity) in exchange for capital, but this need not apply to everyone. Indeed, the typical "app"-driven business has little reason to take any outside capital at all.
All true. You have to start somewhere, and the first focus was on Apple devices, apps for other platforms will soon follow. Meanwhile examples of OpenVPN config files are available too, so you can use the WifiMask service on any OpenVPN capable device:

Cool. Will do. We are a quiet bunch, so it should be modest.
Again, not sure about PHP. But no, JS is strongly typed. What you've shown there is coercion, not type-punning or anything of the sort.
Then don't settle for any advice who can tell you to pop a pill.
From what I can tell, they're working on a differentiated (improved, even) UI/L&F [0]. A lot of the concepts (including the one they seem to be working with) are based on mockups for improved versions of Trello's UI that were rejected by Trello, and it's apparent that non-Trello kanban software is being referenced as well.

So: my investments remain in very bad shape, inflation skyrockets, meaning my current net worth as well as future earnings are far lower. What does this help someone in personal terms?
> Amazon has never done that

Well maybe they do? I know Amazon's algorithms are opaque to the user, but after several purchases on Amazon I noticed this trend of items I researched showing a small uptick in the price after a few days when I go to buy it. The price uptick is there for all users, but Amazon knows only one specific person will buy it, so the price is adjusted for that person and no-one else. After buying, the price goes back to its default in a few days.
Providing reasoning is not the same as providing evidence. If I reason that the earth is flat because it looks that way to me I'm still wrong. Reasoning that (all?) journalism is one step from being bullshit is not really backed up by anything in your comment other than a claim that other people also think so (or were they also anonymous commenters?).

And to be sure I'm not accusing you of actually being one of the accounts mentioned in the article I linked and I have no way of proving you either are or aren't (or that I am not).

Overall people should be aware of how anonymous opinion is impacting their worldview and that's the crux of the argument in my article as well as the article below which is linked from that article.

That's a major exception, actually, because it includes systematic naming in chemistry and so extends across more than one field. There are also all of the names and processes that you have to memorize to be a good biologist or microbiologist, and the large number of facts that organic chemists have to memorize. However, I hesitate to say that those things are pure memorization, because the connections between different facts that elevate them above memorization are usually only apparent to people who know a lot about the subject. For example, history to someone who knows very little is a bunch of dates and isolated factoids, but to someone who knows a lot about it, it's a continuing and cohesive narrative where everything reinforces and relates to everything else. Maybe the same is true if you know enough about biology, chemistry, or even language. I know there are a lot of connections between different languages, due to their shared evolution. Maybe, once you've learned dozens, all of the isolated coincidences start to fit together.
You can also buy all the tools and materials for fraud !!
Those would be issues as well as enabling the higher bidder versus the best prospect (in her mind). I suppose it could be weighted based on both levels of desirability. I think a similar system without the social and implementation complexity would be to sell tiers of “super likes.” Like daily super likes, weekly (get only one per week, monthly, yearly. Essentially, you only get one yearly like a year, so using it conveys extraordinary interest on paper versus a daily like.
I wished IPv6 could be memorized. I can rattle the addresses of all the devices in my home network off with ease, but have trouble remembering a single IPv6. The "just use DNS" answer isn't a good one; stuff sometimes breaks, and it's much harder to fix when I've got to look everything up.
I don't mean to be dismissive of the struggles that people in rural areas face, but I don't think that's an apt comparison. There's a difference between being disadvantaged by location (which can be changed) and disadvantaged by ethnicity. Also, Montana residents are free to use the white drinking fountains.
Having watched some of the latest pilots from Amazon Studios I could imagine them making a blockbuster movie far better than Hollywood could ever dream of.

IMO Amazon Studios are really great at making art in the same spirit of launching a start up. Fast feedback loops can only make things better, so why not the movies.
I took quite deliberate care to try to ensure that I spoke only of 'an individual', rather than the collective. You're spot on.

The point I'm trying to make, distilled, is that we live in a world that has people commuting tens of miles to work each day.

Could we fix that, preferably in a way that's not punitive?

I believe without proof that fuel is an inelastic good; doubling the price of fuel (for individual use only) would not result in a halving of its' use, because it's necessary for many.

Essentially; it takes effort for people to reduce their usage of some resources. For me to eat half as much cake is relatively trivial, it simply requires willpower. For me to use half as much energy than I do would require a very significant reshuffling of my life. My choices are limited, a tax hike would not change that.

I think some people seem to have this idea that taxes are magical beasts. They can work if replacements are actually viable. But taxing food won't mean I eat less, I need it to survive. Hopefully you see what I'm trying to get at here.
Farmers and ranchers are <1% of the US population last I heard. They could get an exemption for certain uses if they really needed it, hell we do that all the time.

Not sure where I stand on this proposal yet, but policies don't have to be all or none, though administration is far easier if they are.
It's strange that they intend for the decompressor to be fast on embedded devices and handhelds, yet give no benchmarks for ARM processors. Instead, they only talk about i7 performance, a chip that you won't find in the target environments.

Does the algorithm run well on ARM?

Sanjay Ghemawat is as big as Jeff Dean. It is just that he is more of an introvert and takes a backseat to Jeff in the public discourse.

Here is a great article on their partnership: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/12/10/the-friendship...

Quote: But, for those who know them both, Sanjay is an equal talent. “Jeff is great at coming up with wild new ideas and prototyping things,” Wilson Hsieh, their longtime colleague, said. “Sanjay was the one who built things to last.”
I would be very surprised if they don't use this latest round of funding to expand their product offerings.
My solution is simple (if a bit of a cop out): I've decided not to visit the USA again until they retire the madness. If that means I'll never visit again then so be it. I used to go there several times per year and at some point the frustration over yet another confrontation with the 'first line of defense' boiled over into 'I don't actually have to be here' and I have spent my holiday money elsewhere ever since. It's got to add up over time, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person that made that decision.

The irony here is stunning, because that is what they rely on for their content, volunteers.
Just the spreadsheet data being intermittently down, and of course, impossible to troubleshoot. We ran processes against it fairly often, and even had it proxied to some mobile devices.
It doesn't really + it's not like it's child slave money or something, this is money from oil paid for by almost every country in the world, you know since everyone needs oil. I can't believe the hypocrisy if you really have an issue with that money, go after the countries that are purchasing their oil from them. Let me make it easy for you, here are the top three counties:

1 Japan

2 China

3 South Korea
Advertising itself is inherently unethical, surveillance or not.
Why didn't you do this with AR? (Not being critical, just curious, because I remember you being a bit stealthy about AR pre-launch (of your demo, at least).)

Also, how would you respond to those that wouldn't want to do this for fear of "giving away their idea"?

Is just another case of being needlessly protective of an idea that is, in and of itself, fairly worthless? Or is the trick to write to about the problem generally and not your specific solution?
Isn't this an unfortunate name collision? I mean, naming your 2D API the same as Microsoft's cloud-ish thing will sure make it hard on search engines to figure out what people are talking about.
Interesting. I didn't know Google could be gamed so easily!
At the end the day, Yelp is a review site to vet places you plan to visit. There's still room for city guides I think.. Maybe Yelp can acquire them. With that said, with Groupon's purchase of Whrrl.. wouldn't a lot of companies be interested in purchasing city guide websites like UrbanDaddy?
Chrome 10.0.648.205 on Ubuntu 10.10 with Adblock (which sometimes gives me wonkiness)
It's worth noting that he says (in the other article he links to): "In fact, in a number of cases I saw people whip things up in Perl in a couple of hours that would have taken me days or weeks to do in Lisp.".

So therefore Perl > Lisp > everything? (I'm kidding for the humour impaired)

What he gained from using Lisp was not worrying about memory management, and built-in data structures that made life easy. These days you can get that with a lot of different languages (and I would argue that Java is not one of those languages), languages that also perform as well as Lisp.

So what's my conclusion? That I think there are both - genius programmers who can code well and quickly in just about any language, and also languages that let you build things a lot faster than traditional languages.
I think Ratatouille may in fact be the most productive academic endeavor in 10 years. 7 papers from that film! Did Ratatouille produce more papers than the LHC? I hope so.
I was sure I was going to get downvoted (but that's not a problem, the interesting part is why). The fact is that here in HN there is a large group of people that think in a pragmatic way like "Trump is doing an incredible danger, it must be stopped", without giving the right weight to the other components of the issue, that is how important is that social medias are so neutral to even allow to say terrible things. American left-wing is very different than EU left-wing I identify with, and this causes a cultural mismatch that results in the downvotes.

About the TOS, to say the final word is impossible because the TOS is written in a very obscure way. But I don't believe they will, at the same time, keep implementing end-to-end encryption and, at the same time, have a TOS that states they can read your messages. Reading your messages would be completely unacceptable: then yes many would switch. IMHO it's just that lawyers tend to fail big time at their work, and that this will get clarified soon.
I definitely agree with the documentation side of things, particularly lack of concrete examples.

I found that overall however, learning Haskell made me a better programmer, even if it's more useful as more of an academic than practical language.

Dealing with pure functions, no access to loops so recursion is paramount and it is rather beautiful and useful some of the tail recursion and pattern matching stuff.

The Haskell quicksort is the classic example of this:

quicksort [] = []
quicksort (p:xs) = (quicksort lesser) ++ [p] ++ (quicksort greater)
where
lesser = filter (< p) xs
greater = filter (>= p) xs
When I’m referring to “these companies” I’m specifically talking about the ones in this news article - namely Fb/Insta/Twitter. Very recently FBs position was that their platform shouldn’t be filtering ‘fake news’ because they are a communication platform rather than a media company.

Clearly different sites will choose a different position on filter vs free speech.

Filtering / moderation has usually been applied to “forums” (of which I would lump HN with) rather than “social graph websites” where posts are typically shared between friends and followers.

> I'm sure you would expect basic protections.

Actually I don’t to be honest! I think free speech is generally the best policy. I do think reform is required though in how posts (and advertisements) are displayed and ranked on social feeds though for instance.
If using PHP the way it was initially meant to be used (i.e. includes, variables, and helper functions where it makes sense, etc.), then it doesn't need to be 100% static in the way the author is suggesting, to be orders of magnitude more efficient than a full-fledged WordPress site.
Which are acceptable because people generally (in many places), are fine with discouraging, or certainly not promoting, the use of tobacco products (and some other product categories) even though they're legal. This is not true with the usage and purchase of most other legal products.
Restrictions in Italy have been continuously yanked up as the situation became worse and worse. I hope the same isn't going to happen in Sweden, but wouldn't count on it. Stay safe.

It's very simple actually. No more sponsors, no more covering every square meter of public space with brands, no more commercials on TV, no more ads on websites. People will have to find other ways to make money, no one's entitled to a business model.
That is I assume a heavily regulated and standard-compliant industry. You can't just pick any language you want. Rust is obviously not certified for such use and I would assume they can only pick something that is.

Them never hearing about Rust does not really speak to anything.
