there is lots of work done to improve education, mostly in how information is conveyed to people, and how they are engaged to interact with subjects. a lot of current western educational facilities still implement the banking theory, where people are seen as an empty bank, and filling them with information is filling the bank with money, i.e. more information provided == smarter people. now people are realising this is terrible ,and applying different models.

doesn't really have to do with memorisation techniques or other little nicknacks that can help people in specific domains. more about how people take in and interpret information, process it and make it their own to apply.
It's probably poorly phrased, but I think we've all met people who just ∂on't really know _how_ to be a friendly, approachable person.
I want to see the same demographics for Ethereum. and also for DeFi governance tokens.
Ive gotten used to hitting paywalls on these kinds of articles. Not sure what HN would be without them but its nice to be made aware of these things and see a diverse range of platforms / sources being linked. That said Im aways aware that if a topic seems interesting enough I can make a mental note to dive into some free resources on it when Im back at my desktop pretending to work rather than on my phone in the bathroom pretending to be in the bathroom. All that said I cant tell if Gates is just another psuedo-celebrity subjugating my mind chakra with never ending global PR stunts or the smartest most selfless of the private-jet hoarding jabillionaires. I guess time will tell, if were all dead in 30 years hes a jerk.
I remember people installing WhatsApp because it was the easiest inter device chat other than sms. It was BBM for the masses.
>Obviously immune response to common cold isn't effective against rona.

Actually...according to some studies it is.

Many of those stable companies became quite a bit less so c.2008 and only survived because of bailouts.
> is that software security continues to be marketing theatre

Overall I tend to agree with your general points, but, this statement.

Would you say that seatbelts are "safety theatre" because some people die in car accidents while wearing a seatbelt?

I really don't think it's fair to attribute all software security as BS, especially given the resources state actors throw at breaking software. It's like arguing your seatbelts don't work because your 4 door sedan was hit by a bus.
Repeal section 230, problem solved. All nonsense on social media would stop the very next day. Please, let 230 be repealed.
I love how the listing begins with the fact their application is now a paid application after being free for 12 months (so this means they're making some money).

We are a start-up that just launched our premium, paid application

Then they go on to say this is a no-cash gig.

This is a NO CASH gig!

Maybe they're not trying to do anything dodgy here, but we already have an industry fraught with developers being underpaid, pulling incredibly long work hours while their health suffers and this startup is looking for what amounts to slave labour by not offering a single dime to any would be Rails developer. It mentions 15 to 20 hours a week, but who knows if they'll expect more hours once they find someone (especially if they're good).

If this were a charity of some kind or non-profit working on a good cause, then I don't see the problem with it. But this appears to be a startup that has begun making money (how much, who knows) and they're looking for a developer to work for free, for 6 weeks as well. That's just crazy.
The simulation of the champions is unnecessary, but it's a nice detail. It gives a visual sense of improvement.
Yet at the same time, the labor gone into processing / handling manufacturing those consumer goods will be cheaper, possibly offsetting that rise in material costs. An increase in resource taxes doesn't necessarily mean an increase in consumer good prices.
It makes it almost impossible to set tax rates that are fair. People always have someone richer than themselves who they think should pay more. People always have someone poorer who is "scrounging". You end up with massive income redistribution with the government having all the spending power. It is bad from almost any political perspective.
It depends. I enjoy it as long as it's moving the ball forward. But if the people producing the stream of bugs won't take obvious steps to squelch the flow (or at least not stop me from doing so), it can be a maddening and Sisyphean task.
Wow, I appreciate your comments. There's a lot of great Ted talks for marketing, Dan Gilbert is one, Dan Ariely is another.
"I get the feeling XML wasn't really made for this case, though, it was made for the JSON-like case."

Back in 1997, XML was "SGML for the Web." It was a way to pass around structured, plain-text, human-readable documents that did not require expensive, buggy, incomplete parsers.

It then got misapplied as an RPC transport encoding, and tools vendors were more than happy to start pushing specs, such as W3C Schemas, that demanded the use of tools.

It started out to be simple, but, as things happen, got hijacked. But the fault is with the misapplication, not XML itself.
sounds like you could study Yammer for some inspiration.
I believe their intention was to make sure that they get a piece of the mobile ads pie

Well sure -- the reason they want you using Google search is so they can advertise to you. And they can get you using Google Voice, and Google Maps, etc. They are less likely to have their products -- which are largely sponsored by ads -- cut out.

I'd rather use products from someone who's in the business to make money from products: Apple, Nokia, RIM, MS

Apple is a terrible example of that. Aside from the fact that they have a very big advertising initiative, a big part of the iPhone experience is lock-in with various other Apple products and conduits. Want some music? Oh well look, Apple is your conduit, taking their piece of the pie. How about a movie, or a book, or a newspaper? Hi, Apple here, ready to tax you.

Nokia...sure. Apple -- absolutely not.
I didn't check what it looked like visually after I posted it, I meant to have them in a line going down, oh well.
I don't plan on getting married, unless a few key things come up. One big one is insurance, the second is hospital visitation rights, and the third is tax benefits.

Other than that, I think it's pretty archaic. Also note I don't want children... that might affect such things, too.
Static typing (and especially type inference) is useless in a web scripting language. Every time you load a new script, you would have to re-compile all the previously loaded scripts as a unit, and in the worst case throw away all existing state (pretty much equivalent to reloading the page).
The reason hiring managers ask for your salary is because they want to know what your expectations are. If you're not comfortable telling them your past salary, just let them know your salary requirements.
Seems more like a neo-schopenhauer serotonin deplete-ist.
I sometimes have mens cycling on while I work. This summer I'll properly have the womens tour de france on. They are almost as 'scantily' clad as beachvolley players. Though their bellies are covered. Is that NSFW or hostile to women? Is it okay to have the woman 100 meters dash on or is it as inappropriate as beach volley (they do wear almost as 'revealing' clothing)? Is mens sport okay? Maybe marathon and other sports with skinny clothed men is SFW, and not diving muscular men in tight panties is not?
> tanks will engage at 1k plus yards

More like 3 km. They've had kills out to 4 km.
Wouldn't this mean that FED, which already has the control over the money supply, can now go and buy companies with the money it creates ?

If you define FED as a private entity - this sounds like theft.

If you define it as a part of the government then you are transitioning to socialism (government ownership of means of production).

Neither of these sounds like something that would be acceptable in the US political system - am I missing something here ?
It's possible but I doubt they would change their artist name. Usually when artists have multiple handles, for both legal and artistic reasons, they re-release a song using the original name.

The exception is when a solo artist wants to "cover" a song they wrote as part of a band.
I've always thought that you can only apply this mantra when you can afford to break things.
Which you can only do when the thing you break is not critical to anything.
I do this too for some sites. But it's what I mean by adding extra tooling. You can do that, but it creeps closer toward something more Wordpress + CDN like.
It stops the stock market slide. Which is more valuable than political talking points. Eventually these bankers are going to start doing some math and see that with 0% interest rates and unlimited firepower on Treasuries, there’s going to be massive pent up demand after this medical crisis is solved. Money will be lent to everyone, including airlines and leisure companies because there’s simply no where else to put their money. Inflation be damned. Market is always looking 6+ months ahead. And the moment bankers see a light at the end of the tunnel, this thing is going to take off like a rocket ship.

I thought the appeal of heels is that they force a "sexy" stance. Rather than how they frame the foot itself.
What do you envision by filter pipelines and searches?

The query syntax I was thinking of focuses mostly filtering on and selecting data with regular expressions or equality matching on text and equality and range queries on numbers.

i.e something like this:

index_name.filter(message ~= "(hot|cold) storage" && drives.status > 100).select(drives.name, message, drives.status)

Or something more SQL like, haven't really settled on a query language yet mostly just been working on the indexing and the lower level parts of the query machinery that work with the index.
One thing I made last night as a result of a joke a friend made: https://getmesometp.com, a place to find where there's still toilet paper online :)
Apple does allow virtualizing OSX server, as long as you're on Apple hardware.

The first goal of universities charging to cover their costs. Stanford isn't pocketing that 1.8 million.
Something similar has happened to a friend of mine, and he wasn't allowed to appeal. In his case, it was because someone else did something bad on an account only associated with his, so Google suspended his account indefinitely as a result.

1. User A submits link to HN explaining the intrinsic properties of gold that are useful for space program at NASA.

2. User B lists a number of additional areas in science and technology that rely on the intrinsic properties of gold and bemoans financial system reliance on gold. Somewhat off topic and interesting discussion of fiat currencies ensues.

3. User C comments that gold is intrinsically worthless.

Great example of why I find HN so interesting and infuriating.
I was born in 1983, so that puts me at the leading edge of what I think most people classify as millennials, but honestly what you're saying doesn't resonate strongly with me. I can (and have recently) lived without a car, but not for any of the reasons you cite. Instead it comes down to (a) parking is a pain in the ass in downtown Seattle and (b) if I drive somewhere, I avoid drinking while I'm there, so driving is a no-go for shows, parties, or even most evenings out with friends. Both of these are solved pretty thoroughly by Uber and (rarely) public transit. I don't tend to use my phone when I'm moving between places unless I'm running late or someone pings me; I'm much more likely to sit back and just watch the world go by.

That said, I do own a car primarily for my daily commute and weekend outings up to the mountains. In terms of safety, environmental friendliness, or cost effectiveness, none of these factored at all into the decision for me. That said, I drive a Tesla, so it's chock full of modern safety features (protecting me; for pedestrians it's a silent rolling death machine with 691 horsepower), and I could argue that it's less environmentally unfriendly than other cars, but I bought it because it looked fun, not for either of those reasons :)
Depending on the jurisdiction, lots of derivatives trading is subject to more regulation than cash products.

And what is not transparent about derivatives? Every one I've ever seen has a very specific and detailed contract. Some of them are complicated, but that's not the same thing as non-transparent.

Commodities futures are derivatives, and all of their contract specifications are available on the web, and easy to read by a layman.
You can have plenty of projects get done that take longer than 4 years. You will have problems getting projects done that half the country hates if it takes longer than 4 years.

This seems like a feature not a bug.
Similarly there was Magic Sac for the Atari ST that could faithfully run MacOS apps with 640px width vs 512px which made a big difference alleviating the need to horizontal scroll to see portrait page width.

While it's quite likely to have a device I own compromised at some point it's less likely for everything to be compromised at once. My phone can access some backends, my laptop can access some others. Full backups are accessible from either. 2-factor authentication makes compromise of all accounts less likely.

It should be possible, for someone who wants a very low chance of losing all their data, to remember 2 or 3 passphrases and compartmentalize access to servers and backups such that most backups are pull instead of push (or have restricted permission ala 'zfs allow') and compromising everything requires attacking multiple platforms all at once.

Make sure it's possible to access everything starting from fresh installs on fresh hardware; once it's clear that one device has been compromised it's best policy to begin fresh on all devices as soon as possible and then start restoring from backups. Have some offline backups.

To be fair, convenience trumps some of these guidelines. Security is hard and only organizations can achieve a high level of resilience since brain backups don't exist yet.
The most knowledgeable hackers were consulted for 'The Matrix' (0-day SSHv1 CRC32 scene), 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' (a surprising homage to the actual PWN Phone, some micro details only a hacker would know, etc).

But these are more of side devices. No movie captures the culture as such — neither the original meaning, nor the illegal, nor the current business.

'The Social Network' attempted to take on a particular narrow aspect of it, and while the results are mixed, it did capture some of the real vibe.

TV — of course 'Silicon Valley', since it was already mentioned. The 'jerking off' algorithm was researched by a real team, and some of the members are here.
I absolutely agree. We need to stop using Google products. Google invades our privacy and keeps users hostages for money.
Saying that bitcoin has a stable algorithmically defined inflation rate is a hilarious redefinition of terms. Over the last year, one Bitcoin lost approximately 40% of its purchasing power relative to a basket of consumer goods and services. The year before, the opposite happened with bitcoin increasing in purchasing power by a factor of 5-10x.

"...We show how a malicious learner can plant an undetectable backdoor into a classifier. On
the surface, such a backdoored classifier behaves normally, but in reality, the learner maintains a mechanism for changing the classification of any input, with only a slight perturbation.
Importantly, without the appropriate “backdoor key,” the mechanism is hidden and cannot
be detected by any computationally-bounded observer. We demonstrate two frameworks for
planting undetectable backdoors, with incomparable guarantees..."

I agree it will need to go beyond cameras if it ever works. But the question becomes, will Tesla be on the hook to upgrade the sensors in cars that are camera only, or will they instead deploy unworkable software to those cars?
Apples to oranges comparison, those provide the bike and the space.
If you think that process is fair or efficient I'd say you've never tried it. It's a half-measure meant to appease developers. In practice it's nearly worthless.
Territory scoring plus dead and captured stones is a bad idea. Contrast: to count by Tromp-Taylor rules, play out and explicitly kill (or agree to remove) all dead stones, fill every empty intersection that only reaches black with black, fill every empty intersection that only reaches white with white, then simply count up black and white stones on the board.

Simple ko is a bad idea. Positional superko is much better.

Seki complicates things needlessly.

Relying on historical rulings, rather than defining unambiguous rules, is a bad idea.
I think if you run a recent Mono, with the sgen GC using the LLVM backend and turn off array bounds-checking performance is supposed to be pretty impressive. (I recall Miguel saying within 10-20% of C++).

Having said that, I've had no performance issues running 3.2 on Linux in general.

Is there no 8x or 16x version of hq4x? I thought you can use it to get full HD resolution from 320x240 (in realtime using GLSL shader).
There are standards like the Arm Server Base System Architecture but companies don't have to follow it. Most of the ARM servers are custom things for big datacenters. As you said the smaller systems like phones and other embedded systems have their own boot systems and memory layout etc.

Yes, people confuse an accurate photograph of being as real as you can get. But in actuality the brain does a lot of work in order to compose a scene, as any optical illusion will reveal. So the accuracy of a photo becomes its downfall in feeling real.

The Impressionists understood this and used effects such as 'optical mixing' (from the scientific findings of Maxwell) to create works that felt more real
So, Tesla is adding another point of failure to their car subsystems instead of removing it, and still pushing self-driving technology as aggressive if ever.

So, what happens if that electric steering subsystem breaks without a redundant backup? "Customer took the risk, we don't care?"

You even didn't notify the customer about it in the first place.
One possible approach to the free space issue on a laptop could be (encrypted) swap. If the system is configured to allocate swap pages in order and you have appropriate limits in place, the likelihood that you reach 100% swap usage can approach zero (but is hard to prove). Use the free space at end of your swap for secrets. Having multiple swap files / swap partitions that you activate when you need more memory for compiling Firefox would give further proof against accidentally overwriting your secrets.
I find fulfillment from solving hard problems through my own cleverness. I wouldn't work on something that hurts people but I also don't care about the end results beyond proving to myself that I can.
For me, it feels similar to when I'd go cold turkey from 2-3 daily cups of coffee (before I started taking medication). 2-5 days of shitty mood, then back to baseline pre-coffee. It sucks, and it will sour your mood when your ability to function drops significantly for a few days, but it passes.
By pirating it instead, you acknowledge that these content creators make something unique and non-fungible and irreplaceable

The problem is not with what they create, it's how they want to limit your options of using what you legally bought.

There are many avenues for increasing your personal fortune through influence over twitter other than increasing the value of your shares-- particularly when you own relatively few twitter shares.
Whenever I comment here, I usually consider a bunch of different factors:

Is my comment necessary? Will it teach anybody anything? Did somebody else already make my point?

All in all, I try my hardest _not_ to comment. As a general rule, I won't participate in communities that value one-liners. A basic respect for thought is enough to make one community far better than another.

Just today I was over-listening a conversation about body hair that essentially amounted to "hair is there for protection," and all I could think was "what does that mean? What 'protection'? Do you even know what you're talking about?" It seems like the _entire_ point of that conversation was to find something to laugh about, and that the thoughts didn't even matter. They could have talked about anything. As soon as laughs were had, subjects changed.
