If anyone is interested, I've started playing around with a Python implementation here: https://github.com/gtaylor/python-gotalk

I'm mostly focused on the marshalling/unmarshalling of the various message types right now.
He is the CEO of the company and gets to decide. You understand that facebook is a private company, right? Trump's 1A rights aren't being denied any more than Fox news is denying AOC her 1A rights by not giving her her own show.
Where does it read like that?

I wrote it as a response to how you framed the grant-parent's comment, as if it was analogous to advising not to punish lesser crimes because grand crimes like torture go unpunished.

I'm trying to show that his comment doesn't imply that at all, and should be read differently (and obviously, at least to me).
These people quoted aren't just making observations, and are on our side. They're against privacy, whether they want to come across that way or not.
certainly regular people encouraging violence get censored on facebook and twitter all the time, I've seen it, we see it all the time. It doesn't make the headlines though. Trump makes the headline because he does it and is the president.

AND he has gotten a pass, for years, that regular people don't get.
I don't understand the positivity here. It is utterly foolish to store anything that "proves" your identity on an easily hackable device.

Good luck proving abuse. It is already difficult with similarly "secure" banking transactions, the banks tend to win.
In Northern Ontario where I'm located, I think the local rural ISP's are going to die out pretty quickly. They all rely on huge government grants to build towers that will provide shoddy internet to 100 people. We're getting more and more clients ordering Starlink dishes and if the numbers are anything like what they're saying they're getting it's not even a competition.
The best part from an engineer at Dyson (his last name is Hill):

"Dyson has developed its own testing methodology, the POLAR test method, which, unlike the CADR, Hill said, "measures the intelligence of the purifier, the ability for it to know when that room is clean or dirty and automatically react, and its ability to mix that pure air around the room."

While Hill agrees that CADR is an important part of purification, he notes that it is important that products also sense and capture pollutants, and project air.

"I think what we're trying to do is pull back a little bit from the CADR metric," he said. "Not everyone needs an enormous CADR, has huge rooms or incredibly dirty air."

Several experts told Marketplace the CADR is the most important metric and an internationally recognized benchmark.

"CADR is what you want to know, period," said Francis (Bud) Offermann, an indoor air quality researcher who has helped develop test methods for the performance of portable air cleaners with the American Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM).

"An air cleaner with a very high-efficient filter and very little air-flow rate will have a low CADR and little air-cleaning ability; same for an air cleaner with a very high air-flow rate and a very low filter efficiency."

Why is it her job to make a mob happy? She was targeted for nasty treatment and doesn’t owe them anything. It would be nice if there was a way to get those people to start contributing positively to the world but their decision not to do so is their responsibility alone. If this made her feel better after having to put up with that, I’m not going to fault her for it.
All of the real world numbers I've seen from users have been lower than cell latency.
Budget? Here in NH, Atlantic Broadband is $100 per month after the six month offer expires, so same as Starlink.

You do have to amortize the $500 dish, but even that is only $40 more a month for the just the first year and $10, if spread over four years.
"good food" is a weasel word; What do you mean? Low calorie food? Also a very broad and unspecific term.

It's not as easy as "this food is good" or "that food is bad", you need to educate yourself first; calories in and out, then macronutrients, then micronutrients, in that order.

All the diets, diet trends, and things labeled "good" and "bad" food are handwavey things, and research has shown that the common factor they all have is calorie intake reduction.
They're like Facebook, almost impossible to delete the account.
On x86, that's the reality. I recently went Intel CPU & AMD GPU to AMD CPU & Nvidia GPU and just booted straight into my old Windows system, no problem at all.

But on anything ARM based? The whole ecosystem doesn't give a fuck. Everything is hyperspecific for one platform exactly. At one point, the Linux kernel had thousands of board source files that specified exactly what hardware your cursed ARM board had. Then they invented device tree but frankly the situation has barely changed, don't expect to ever build a generic ARM image for anything.
Well, I don't have MS Word, I don't use it enough to pay for it. I also would like to do some small changes to the images(maybe laser eyes? maybe draw some lines to emphasise an emotion?).

I also recall Word being not very easy with alignments.
"Unknown unknowns, on the other hand, are examples where a model is confident about its answer, but is actually wrong."

Pleasing enough conclusion. Of course, localism has little to offer when the facts are on the other side of the world, or in a closed boardroom meeting:

Memetic countermeasures only further weaponize the
environment. Upgraded algorithmic filtering of
dangerous memes can only result in a technological
arms race between memetic engineers and platform
censors. As collateral damage, it adds black boxes to
the space of public discourse, magnifying distrust while
doing nothing to arm the human beings against memetic
provocation. It is also unlikely that publicly traded
companies dependent on the perception of the size and
centrality of their platforms would voluntarily restrict the
activity of the bots and algorithms generating such a
high volume of activity.

While a turnkey, technological solution to the problem
of memetic attack is certainly an appealing prospect,
the strengthening of local, human social relationships is
the surest countermeasure to ideological warfare that
depends on alienation for its survival.
I think economic theory explains that case as well. Simply put, the value of "making art" was worth more to those artists than the value of whatever money they could have made doing other things. So of course, they weren't trying to satisfy some latent global need of art, they were just doing what they preferred.

Just as a farmer is not trying to satisfy the world's demand for food, monitoring which crop is most needed. All the farmer does is he prefers a certain amount of money over a certain amount of labour and grows crops that maximize that amount of money. The world signals their demand by price.
I wondered when this news would break. Congrats to everyone at Semetric :)
So simple statements of fact get downvoted? HN aspires to be Reddit ;-)
Off topic, but I can't resist re-posting the following. It will bring tears of joy to anyone who hates patent trolls.

Blue Jeans Cable was mentioned on HN a few months ago in the context of Monster Cable sending them a letter threatening to sue them for patent and trademark infringement. An HN poster characterized their response letter to Monster Cable as: "That. letter. is. glorious."

Here are just a few snippets:

if you file on this sort of basis, you are in
Rule 11 frivolous-claim territory
...
You are required, as a matter of legal ethics,
to display good faith and professional candor
in your dealings with adverse parties, and you
have fallen miserably short of your ethical
responsibilities
...
Read the patents narrowly, and Monster loses;
read them broadly, and Monster loses.
...
I spent nineteen years in litigation practice
...
I am "uncompromising" in the most literal sense
of the word. If Monster Cable proceeds with
litigation against me I will pursue the same
merits-driven approach: I do not compromise with
bullies and I would rather spend fifty thousand
dollars on defense than give you a dollar of
unmerited settlement funds.
...
Not only am I unintimidated by litigation;
I sometimes rather miss it.

Mr Polad, my 8th grade US history teacher taught me this same lesson. It does seem tedium at first, but I've never found anything better at retention.

Granted I think taking a lecture on the same topics is a major reinforcement.
Worse is "STEAM", where art is added. That was an invention by the Rhode Island School of Art and Design. The result has been maker spaces where people make collages from construction paper, like kindergarten.[1] No need for any heavy, expensive, dangerous equipment that can make real stuff.

Thanks! I don't know if my google-fu has been lacking when I've tried to find a solution before, but I'd never found that info before.
DRAM chips are fascinating.

Instead of going with the much more expensive SRAM, someone decided that refreshing billions of capacitors hundreds of times a second while performing read and write operations is an acceptable way of storing data (even if only while powered).

I wonder what the managers who first heard the idea must've thought :D

And it works so well! It's probably one of the most reliable component in a computer.

Depends on where you live and what the law says. I believe some Americans would answer 'yes' to all of those. A transaction between private individuals (or non-governmental organisations) is a privilege, not a right.

In other parts of the world there would be limits and requirements set by the parties elected by the people, i.e. rules on what things you can and can't discriminate on (like ability to pay you can measure, but skin color is not allowed to be a factor for selling electricity). Generally there is a list of factors that you cannot use to allow/deny sale.

I disagree. Code gains technical debt over time, bugs are found, compatibility with other libraries and the OS fray, security vulnerabilities are exposed, and what were awesome features 6 months ago become commonplace or superseded by the new awesome.

Essentially, code starts to rot after a while.
A bubble would require an investment firm to make an intentionally risky investment with the intention of selling off at the IPO prior to the collapse of the company. This is what we saw in 2000 and in the 2009 housing bubble.

The current state of affairs has companies being bought in cash by other large companies such as Google, Apple, etc. So the public never gets the chance to purchase overly valued stock. Further, of the companies that did have an IPO (Facebook, Groupon, Google) none of them had outrageously high growth. In fact, most of the companies stock values dropped after an IPO (at least initially).

All of those are clear signs we are not in a bubble, as it is financially impossible at this point, regardless of the "nature of bubbles." However, 5 years from now, who knows! The bet was for 2020, not 2016.
I don't have a strong opinion on the situation (I'm pretty ignorant of the history and politics between Russia and Ukraine) but I definitely saw anti-Russia trolls on the first CNN article about this. I have definitely seen both pro and anti Russia comment trolls.
Well, at least he will know to go to that level of detail next time! Once burned, twice shy.

I guess my point is that being "100% convinced that the property had the [feature] of interest" based solely on a phone call is pretty risky when you're talking about a purchase as large as a house and a feature as important (to him) as ability to get broadband internet. I totally understand and sympathize with his plight (I was screwed in basically the way, actually, many years ago, though it was a rental rather than a purchase, and DSL rather than cable, and it did work out in the end in that case too). And the degree to which he was jerked around by Comcast here is almost unreal. I could feel my blood boiling when I read the story. But in the end, I don't think he is going to have any actual legal recourse. He said this was his first home purchase; I imagine next time he will insist on seeing the connection in action next time, or getting that contingency clause in if not!

In any case, your analogy doesn't really fit the situation. The seller didn't have cable, or, presumably, any fixed broadband internet service. (That in itself is a bit of a red flag; I'd think most households who can get internet service at a reasonable price these days already have it.) The situation you describe -- well, it's hard to imagine it happening, because the seller would clearly have been legally obligated to disclose that the water was from a well and not municipal, and in any case the buyer would, one hopes, have hired a home inspector who would have noted this (and probably detected issues with the well as w... umm, in addition). But it doesn't sound like the seller hid the fact that there was no internet service currently at the house, which means there's no liability there.

So this is more like buying a house with no running water at all, with the knowledge that this is the case, and then getting a verbal promise from the local water company that they'd be able to hook you up. If you were to buy a house under conditions like this, I maintain that you probably would want a contingency clause on installation of the water.

And for what it's worth our cable company (not Comcast, but another big one) had absolutely no problem starting the work (once they agreed to do it) for us before we were the owner or resident. If they had, we would simply have made the contingency something like "seller is obligated to have internet installed, for which the buyer will pay, prior to closing."

I'm working with Z3 now, and it's been a real joy. One of the biggest advances in programming languages in recent years, perhaps. Glad to see it open-sourced and moved to Github.
I don't know how come someone didn't come up with this earlier, but I don't believe it did, so congrats, awesome idea. I already started pretend investing in startups that seem promising.
>Maybe Microsoft is coming back from the dead the same way Apple did?

No, because Microsoft was never "dead" the same way Apple was.

Apple was unprofitable and on the brink of bankruptcy.

Microsoft had new competition, but was still making more money than Apple or Google during its "slump".

Apple recovered by appealing to the general public instead of a niche market. Remember what owning a Mac was like in the 90s? Microsoft is "recovering" by appealing to a niche market segment that they've spent most of their corporate history alienating: the open source hacker crowd, ie, people who read this site.

PG only thought MS was dead because, like Sauron in the Third Age, its shadow no longer darkened the world he saw. That doesn't mean that Sauron/MS's power was broken, just that it wasn't affecting the Hobbits/hackers in the Shire/Silicon Valley. Now Sauron is back and he wants to come smoke pipeweed and eat second breakfast, and everyone is very aware of how healthy and dapper he is these days.

I didn't say everything we did was inconsequential. I said some things were good, some things were bad and others were inconsequential. Unless you're saying that those events named amount to everything any human has ever done, it seems like you're agreeing with me in a very hostile manner.

And nobody's talking about doing experimentation on their own body here, so I don't see how that's relevant, unless you're saying that all uncertain actions (experimenting with electricity, nuclear power, etc.) are like experimenting with your body and should not be done.
There is absolutely no confusion when people talk about the commoditization of phone hardware. No one is saying phones will become coffee. You can get pretty much any combination of features from any vendor.

Feel free to be frustrated by imprecise usage of technical terms.
You miss the point of the article. The article isn't saying that retrofitting 75,000 homes would "cancel out" the spill. The article is saying that the that would have been produced by that well could be saved by retrofitting 75,000 homes. I.e., it wouldn't have been necessary to drill that well if we had retrofitted 75,000 homes instead. Which is also a shaky argument, because proponents of oil would argue that extra oil would help to bring down the overall costs of energy, so we should drill even if we don't strictly "need" to. But I agree with the authors that investments in increased energy efficiency would be preferable to investments in oil drilling.
I've been taking D as well, and got two colds almost back to back from my kids as soon as they went back to school. I'd agree it's probably the distancing.

This is why Firefox' container for FB is a good idea.

Zuck even got asked about shadow profiles in his senate/congress hearing and he meekly weaseled out of answering by saying "I'll get my team to get back to you on that.". Translation: "I know the answer but telling you will destroy what's left of my reputation, and if I lie to you I risk perjuring myself and jail time.".

He also rattled something along the lines of "there's this thing called cookies", and the peanut gallery on Twitter misunderstood that deflection as him explaining to old senators what cookies are...
This should be terrible of course, but for some reason the fall to the ground calculated based on the rate of change of the graph... so this takes a really long time to fall down giving you lots of time to traverse.

If they're not about saving money, why do people get concerned about their effective miles-per-gallon? If people were concerned about the environment, we'd be rallying the EPA to talk about the amount of greenhouse gases being laid out by the car's production and use. We'd also see people riding bicycles or walking to their offices that are a mile away instead of letting their car warm up for 15 minutes and driving.

There's noting wrong with wanting a car because it looks cool, because it has some hot new piece of tech, or because the amount of dollars you spend on your car somehow makes you feel better about yourself. And to those people, fuel economy makes little difference.
My rule has been to just pad "do" appropriately. Almost everything else works out well with a 4-space tab. Also, don't ever use only one-or-two spaces for indentation, and if you're finding you have a long expression with so much indentation and unindentation that it gets confusing I usually find I'm doing something confusing and should simplify it anyway. For example:

let x = y
in do something
something with
( lots
. of
. args
)
something else

Is not that hard to read for me, and actually looks quite nice.

And if you're getting those terribly long-expressions, break them up. They can always be broken out in a let expression to be simpler, and with let the precedence is obvious.

map (alpha . bravo) . filter charlie <$> xray <|> yankee >> zulu

might be better written as

let f1 = map (alpha . bravo) . filter charlee <$> xray
f2 = yankee
result = f1 <|> f2
in result >> zulu

Haskell has the ability to write great one-liners, just like Perl, but it takes discipline not to use them.

Of course naming your variables descriptively helps a lot too. Examples with single-variable names are probably not the best.
Which says nothing about what it cost.

I reckon a Swedish jail is a lot nicer than being deployed in Iraq or Afghanistan, where your freedom of movement is restricted and you are under constant threat from people who spend their days and nights trying to kill you.
Use them! But do not be so excited. There is people running GPU farms already. So it's like you got modern equipment to extract gold while someone own gold mines with tons of dollars invested in mining equipment. So you definitely will not be the top miner, but you will get something.
I'm a Tesla bear, but I know better than to bet against it. Arguably, Tesla's implied success is priced into to these other car companies. A lot of these companies are behind on electric cars, Toyota in particular.
How can you actually equate Cairo - Jeddah and Cairo - Riyadh as remnants of the Ottoman Empire? This has got to be the most ridiculous assertion I've read on this site.

Those routes are busy simply because there are a number of Egyptian expats working in KSA who travel back home for vacations and/or family events and stuff. Apart from that, Cairo and Riyadh are as international as you can get apart from the language - they speak different dialects of Arabic, they have different views on religion, they have extremely different cultures, and they call each other's food shit.

Both parts (Arabia and Egypt) were ruled by their respective dynasties for almost a half millennia, far longer than Ottoman rule.

I don't know why there's a lot of traffic between Seoul and Tokyo, but it's certainly not because the former was briefly ruled from the latter. Comparing these examples to the Russian and French examples is laughable.
