> According to the James Study of Casual TV Activity, "log on" means "visit this Web site". Any use of user name or password is coincidental.

That's just incorrect usage of terminology by (most likely) marketing/PR people.

In the olden days, you had to log on to your ISP over a modem. "Logging on" happened all the time to access anything outside your computer.

I suspect that the occasional use of "log on" in reference to simply visiting websites will disappear in favor of simply "visit". "Log on" will continue to be used and abused with connection to sites that actually want you to log on (after all, what better way to turn your website into a money maker than by gathering user data).

> It's a lost cause. I'm saving my energy to preserve the distinction among "few", "fewer", "less", and "lesser".

This is reminding me of the article about the recent English grads who traveled the country correcting grammar and spelling errors in signs on the way.
Don't you ever watch movies about programmers? That's exactly how it works. The protagonist looks briefly at some code before declaring "Oh wow, this guy is good." For added realism, he should be typing the entire time.
Obviously for the full report you need to pay, but in the press release itself (as linked) there are a number of interesting snippets from the report.
Box has had a tree view for many years it's just not obvious where it it's located.

If you are viewing folders, look at the bread crumb navigation. The first bread crumb will have drop down arrow which gives you a folder tree view. This tree also has search.
Interesting point but I'm sure if I had a smarter legal brain it isn't impossible.

Though enforcement of current export controls would be a good start...
All these frameworks to do MVC... Maybe it's time browsers just natively support 2 way binding of data to DOM elements and virtual DOM diff-style batch rendering. It seems silly to relegate these features that everyone wants to a 3rd party library.
This is certainly illegal here in Brazil. And if it isn't right now it will be right after someone launches a tool like that.
This is Josh - one of the people behind the OpenPCR project. I agree with you that reagents can be a huge amount of the cost.

Part of this depends on the quantity of reactions you're doing. Taking the DNA barcoding of trees example we gave, if you're doing hundreds of reactions the cost can already be quite low as crocowhile pointed out. If you're just learning or doing a few reactions, here's where a kit containing small quantities of the needed reagents and educational information can be more cost effective.

The other part has to do with the exact reagents you need. Obviously if you can use an off the shelf master mix you'll pay much less than if you need to purchase a specialized enzyme and specific reaction buffer. There are cases where that is needed, but there's also cases where people purchase reagents more expensive than what they need, simply because they just want their reaction to work, they've found one way to make it work, and they'd rather spend more time on their project rather than finding the more cost effective ways to make it work.

Here there's a lot of opportunity for software or software coupled with hardware to find the most cost effective way to do a reaction and make it work better. For example, a PCR machine networked with a UV spec and some software could quantify template DNA, present recommendations on enzymes, calculate the best reaction parameters accurately, and tell the user exactly what quantities to add of primers/enzyme/buffer/water. Many users of PCR are not necessarily experts at PCR, so there's some opportunity to help people get better results while saving time and money.

We're thinking about these larger problems, but focusing on getting an accurate and reliable PCR machine working first. Once we have that, we'll have the foundation to pursue these other areas.
When it is critical to know exactly how your particular wheel works, it is often necessary to at least partially re-invent it.
We are perhaps using different definitions.
There should be an Academy Awards or Tony's or Grammys for programming.

Perhaps Github and Bitbucket and Google Code can get together, select the core contributors to the most 'watched'/downloaded programs, allow those people to vote for/select other coders/programmers/contributors who should be allowed ballots and allow them to vote for people in different categories for awards.

If entertainers can merit an awards ceremony, surely code slingers and algorithm designers can as well.
The people who learn entirely new programming languages every year already use emacs.
Not sure I buy his point about how engineers and other professionals are the only ones who manage complexity. I have never taken a poly-sci class before, but my guess is that the whole point is to work to reduce the enormous complexity of differing political systems into something you can understand. And, as a single data point, my English major/aspiring author friend is one of the deepest thinkers I know. He regularly surprises me by being able to distil complex situations into something manageable. Engineers definitely don't have a monopoly on that.
Interesting data, but the comment about political polls is a bit misleading. Political polls are a random sample of a target population and are designed to avoid biases. This is a voluntary survey with plenty of response bias, so I'd keep that in mind when drawing conclusions.
Well, from this data it is the first functional language/drug for a significant proportion of users, so in that sense it is a gateway.
His point is correct. There are better time investments than the editor. It actually took me a while to get into clojure because of editor issues. Eventually I settled on notepad++ (which unfortunately does not yet support clojure syntax highlighting; I use its lisp option) and the commandline. Works well enough for my purposes.

You're turning "fuck you, got mine" into a virtue.

No one is saying that if someone makes a bunch of money, they don't get the money. Your assets go up, that's yours. We're just saying that they shouldn't also have the government reducing their taxes so other people can pay them.

Well, HN will love this. Moddable laptop with a good webcam? Nice.

But:

- I really dislike the arrow keys not having the air gap above left and right. You’d think they’d learn that from the MacBook butterfly keyboard era.

- it’s a little disingenuous to say “no adapters” when in fact their little expansion cards are merely adapters that insert into the chassis of the laptop. Only four I/O ports is a little tight (despite Apple deeming it to be “enough”)

- that laptop looks pretty thick and heavy by today’s standards.

It’ll be interesting to see how people respond, when many (especially in this crowd) have been clamoring for this kind of thing. How many will actually vote with their dollars, and will that be enough for Framework to survive and become a viable competitor in the laptop space?

I hope so, as I welcome the diversity and innovation that would represent. But I admit I’m skeptical as to their chances.
Well, this is where we see inequality as a force that perverts democracy. The side of capital has an enormous quantity of resources (by definition) that they use to influence electoral outcomes. So in a way, yes, the votes aren't very legitimate when the side of capital out-spends the side of labor by thirteen to one: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-10-16/skelton-...
Last I checked, Biden wasn't separating children from their parents at the border as a blanket policy and using them as leverage to get the parents to go away. Emphasis on BLANKET POLICY. Obama/Biden didn't put every child in a cage the way steven miller did.

So no, I dont' see hypocrisy here.

Its night and day. Trump's stewardship put these children in a lord of the flies scenario where they had to take care of each other and the leadership acting more like prison guards than caretakers.

I agree that Biden should close those things down but he cant just release the children into the wild. He got left with a timebomb and care has to be taken when dismantling it. Time will tell if he commits to transitioning these children to more appropriate living facilities and finding their parents (https://reason.com/2020/10/21/545-migrant-kids-snatched-by-t...) or relatives. He's been president less than 2 months. it will take time to see if he honors his commitments.
Huh? Eventually the current owners will die
I checked out the theme itself, and immediately a message showed up saying that it detected my country and offered me a discount code to make sure that the theme is still affordable for my country.

On a related note, is anyone aware of any tool(s) to declaratively describe an application architecture and automate its deployment on something like AWS or in a single virtual machine + docker? For example "I want 10 replicated microservice1 processes and 5 replicated microservice2 processes in front of a nginx load balancer. Also, throw in a Redis and a PostgreSQL database." This would be immensely useful for (one man show) developers who don't necessarily have the time or experience to "properly" setup and fine tune infrastructure. I think what I'm describing is known as "Infrastructure as code" in DevOps parlance.

Edit: Since this question is getting many replies, I'll be a bit more specific in what I am looking for. Is there a tool that would let me describe the infrastructure and deploy it on a given cloud provider but also have the ability to deploy the same infrastructure on my local machine (using VMs/docker) for development purposes.
I really wish people would look at jobs programs, education programs, mental health care and similar public welfare efforts as an investment in making society better. We are all better off in the long term with less crime and unemployment.

Every person committing crimes and going to prison, or unemployed or employed in criminal activity is a person who could be not only doing less harm through crime to their community, but also, with proper support, meaningfully contributing to GDP.

The real important thing here is the ease at which a significant impact can be made to change people's behavior towards the better with a minimal (literally minimum wage) investment. Criminality is not an inherent trait, at least not for the majority of individuals. It's a product of environmental factors. And the effect increased after the work was over.

The potential increase in property values from reduced crime alone are interesting.

From the book Ignition! (http://library.sciencemadness.org/library/books/ignition.pdf)

"But something more potent than alcohol was needed for the X-15 rocket-driven supersonic research plane. Hydrazine was the first choice, but it sometimes exploded when used for regenerative cooling, and in 1949, when the program was conceived, there wasn't enough of it around, anyway. Bob Truax of the Navy, along with Winternitz of Reaction Motors, which was to develop the 50,000 pounds thrust motor, settled on ammonia as a reasonably satisfactory second best. The oxygen-ammonia combination had been fired by JPL, but RMI really worked it out in the early 50's. The great stability of the ammonia molecule made it a tough customer to burn and from the beginning they were plagued with rough running and combustion instability. All sorts of additives to the fuel were tried in the hope of alleviating the condition, among them methylamine and acetylene. Twenty-two percent of the latter gave smooth combustion, but was dangerously unstable, and the mixture wasn't used long. The combustion problems were eventually cured by improving the injector design, but it was a long and noisy process. At night, I could hear the motor being fired, ten miles away over two ranges of hills, and could tell how far the injector design had progressed, just by the way the thing sounded. Even when the motor, finally, was running the way it should, and the first of the series was ready to be shipped to the West Coast to be test-flown by Scott Crossfield, everybody had his fingers crossed. Lou Rapp, of RMI, flying across the continent, found himself with a knowledgeable seat mate, obviously in the aerospace business, who asked him his opinion of the motor. Lou blew up, and declared, with gestures, that it was a mechanical monster, an accident looking for a place to happen, and that he, personally, considered that flying with it was merely a somewhat expensive method of suicide. Then, remembering something he turned to his companion and asked. "By the way, I didn't get your name. What is it?". The reply was simple. "Oh, I'm Scott Crossfield."
You do realize that Buddhism originated in India right ? Modern Hinduism is a natural evolution of Buddhism and Jainism.

Never mind people. We are 1.25Bn people in India, free to speak whatever we wish to (hence so many fake godman's too). Such nonsense keeps coming up all the time. Noone takes it seriously. I'm kindof surprised though that it got published in The Guardian.
Trust and "Independence" are not binary qualities when we are talking about these systems. It's a matter of risk exposure, a sliding scale that you can control.

With crypto I can choose how much of my assets are going to be in crypto that I control (long-term savings, DeFi investments), how much is going to be in a custodial wallet (could be for my scheduled on-ramp DCA buys, could be to keep more liquid trading) and how much I am going to keep in a regular traditional bank for more "traditional" investments, my checking account, private pension payments, credit cards, etc, etc.

This wouldn't be easy to achieve if we don't have reputable centralized exchanges. I am not dependent on them to control the funds I already moved out, but I am relying on them to have a functional system to fill in the gaps that the current permissionless/trustless systems can not provide.
It's a complicated answer because of laws nerfing collective labor power in the US, like Taft-Hartley.

That is, I believe there's a big thumb already lowering wages to below its worth. So the real question is, how do we determine "worth"?

Some countries with strong unions, like Denmark, have an equivalent of $20/hour minimum wage for McDonald's employees, even though Denmark has no minimum wage.

https://www.politico.com/story/2013/11/nuclear-waste-fiasco-...

"Doing nothing often has a cost — and when it comes to storing the nation’s nuclear waste, the price is $38 billion and rising.

That’s just the lowball estimate for how much taxpayers will wind up spending because of the government’s decades of dithering about how to handle the radioactive leftovers sitting at dozens of sites in 38 states. The final price will be higher unless the government starts collecting the waste by 2020, which almost nobody who tracks the issue expects.

The first $15 billion is what the government spent on a controversial nuclear waste repository at Nevada’s Yucca Mountain until the Obama administration scrapped the project. The other $23 billion is the Energy Department’s estimate of the damages the government will have to pay to nuclear power utilities, which for the past 30 years have paid a fee to DOE on the promise that the feds would begin collecting their waste in 1998.

Industry argues that the damages are closer to $50 billion — which raises the bottom line to $65 billion including the money spent on Yucca."

So we're going to build more reactors you say? Where will that waste go? This is not an issue with renewables and batteries.
I don’t disagree! :) I think you’d find the graphs in the tripsafe link interesting - they show a relationship of starting dose size and rampup vs. lasting benefits. Also some statistics of how many participants felt high anxiety per starting dose. The most significant lasting benefits seemed to come from initially low and then escalating doses. iow it seems like a small dose allows people to process better. Open more up? Be swept less away by the experience and work more within their personal selves’ substance and experience?
This article severly downplays one of the main attractions of weight lifting, explained by that one scene in American Beauty:

I mean if it makes you feel better... but the culpability for climate change does NOT lie with individuals. Sweeping systemic changes are our only way out of this mess.
That's funny because the US actually has reduced per capita CO2 emissions by about 20% back down to levels not seen since 1960.

What if it was $20 billion? Maybe the idea is feasible if you go bigger? Still less than half of the current strategy of a hostile takeover.
So it's $6/mo, or £4.99 which is equivalent to ~$6.50 ... from UK it tells me the company providing the service is "Dropbox International Unlimited Company ... Dublin 2 / Ireland". Presumably, I can just purchase the service in USA (eg via VPN) to save 8%?

AIUI, supply of digital services in the UK accrue local VAT (? eg https://www.gov.uk/guidance/vat-place-of-supply-of-services-...) so the UK price is maybe less revenue (net of VAT)?

The reduce code is just not very declarative. I have to inspect the code and i need to have a mental model of REDUCE (which is not trivial). What is b and what is a? I need a mental model of ITERATE too, but the declarative wording gives hints what it is supposed to do.

Code like above is simply less readable. There are lots of uses of REDUCE which are simple to understand. Code like above, less so - where I need to write a special purpose function.

Another problem is that you need to think about the corner cases:

(reduce (lambda (a b) (if (> (length b) (length a)) b a))
'())

-> Error

Also you can see that the REDUCE version is slower. Usually there will be a function call overhead - unless the compiler has some optimization for that in some optimize level. Also 'LENGTH' is called multiple times on the longest list so far. You could work around that in REDUCE ... In ITERATE this is not needed: it calls LENGTH only once per list item.
If you don't care about your cross section, solar would fit the bill:

> huge mega-corporations like Apple and Google have such an intrinsic advantage

They really don't. All it takes is one designer with good taste, or a developer frustrated with the status quo. Sure, big companies have the resources to do a lot of in-house testing and iteration, but that does not suddenly create taste.

> easy to understand why they dominate the mobile space

The reason for the current duopoly in mobile OSes has less to do with pure UX, and more to do with successful jockeying for market position across a multitude of factors (yes, including UX). WebOS? Windows Phone? Both arguably had/have superior UX, but still lost in the market.

Anyway, the OS vendor is irrelevant in this context, notwithstanding app investment due to market position. One can have horrible app UX on iOS, or terrific app UX on Android -- and Android is really not that great overall, especially with older and/or lower-end devices.

Moreover, there are plenty of successful third-party apps, regardless of platform, most of which haven't invested millions and years into UX.

>The VC model, as best as I can tell as a distant observer, is focused first on identifying the winning ideas, and then securing the right team as a secondary item.

I see the exact opposite.

I keep hearing that (early stage) VCs care about the team a lot more than the idea. The idea is necessary as a way of knowing that the team can come up with a concrete idea but not more than that. Later stage VCs focus on other things but those aren't close to a film studio.
