In practice the actual available usable address space for userland is 64 TiB due to user/kernel split and the kernel maintaining a virtual mapping of the entire physical address space (minus I/O ranges) [0].

However newer incoming 5-level page intel chips [1] will allow up to 57 bits of address space, 128 PiB in theory though in practice 32 PiB of userland memory. See also [0] for discussion on practical limit for 5-page too!

Seems the BATF thinks tribes are under their thumb, but then, that’s no different than how they regard everyone. These aren’t exactly applicable but seem to demonstrate that BATF has no problem enforcing its regs and the federal laws in Indian Country.

“tribal police departments generally do not qualify for the exemption from payment of the transfer tax for NFA firearms, are not eligible to receive firearms interstate, and can not possess a ‘post-1986’ machinegun.”[0]

“federal authorities alleged Ho-Chunk Inc. and its subsidiaries had violated federal tobacco laws by shipping and selling “untaxed, unstamped cigarettes to businesses in Nebraska other states.”[1]

I totally agree. There is absolutely no earthly reason for why a Bitcoin should be worth $40k+. Cryptocurrencies can be useful, but they aren't useful enough to replace the financial system or be valued more than any actual asset. The whole ecosystem is rotten to the core, with scams, inefficient and stupefyingly complex technology, and a foundation built on dreams. Don't be surprised when it all comes crashing down.
never thought of this level of paranoia!

you think they would record audio/video, or just log the keystrokes?
HN has not been welcoming of political discussion and for good reason. US politics over the last 3 months was noticeably absent from the front page.

That being said I do think there is a finer tech ethics issue here:

If a government asks you to censor or remove content, do you do it?

Looking at Google in China and Australia, answer seems to be “yes, in that government’s jurisdiction”.

Examples OP cited are different in that Google and Facebook seem to have censored the content wholesale, across the world.
> This says nothing about the amount of days. Neither do the sources.

Is the amount of days really the most important aspect of this?

> Can be said about the US as well, companies can be forced to share their data with the government.

While the US is definitely not perfect, that's a false equivalency. One can only draw superficial parallels between the US and China on this topic. The key difference is actually in the area of political culture. For instance: both the US and China make a big deal about the "rule of law," but they're actually talking about very different things. The the US, it means the law is applied consistently and even constrains the government. In China, the government is in a very real sense above the law, and the phrase merely means that they demand you comply with their rule through the laws they make.

The videos are still up on the person’s Instagram account, from which he sells anti-cop merchandise.

As far as I can tell, there hasn’t been a copyright removal. It appears the police were tired of being followed by this guy trying to provoke them to promote his Instagram and associated merch.
We did exactly this for my first son.

We had been trying for weeks without result, both with trainer wheels and to run behind with an attached handle. Then one day we unmounted the pedals and lowered the seat... after just an afternoon we could reattach the pedals and he was now cycling on his own!
> This is because Git is too hard to use.

Git is hard to LEARN. It is objectively very easy to USE for those who have learned it, so much so that the population of "I used to use git until I found ..." evangelists is effectively zero. Tools like mercurial exist in the marketplace of ideas mostly by peeling off users who haven't yet started using git productively by promising 80% of the features for 10% of the effort.

In fact, I don't know that there has been a new tool since vim or emacs that so well illustrated this dichotomy between ease of learning and ease of use.

But to be honest: it really is needlessly hard to learn. The content of the linked article is that git is built on an extremely simple foundation of data structures and operations that anyone can understand. But the takeaway from the article is that no one does understand it, because that layer is hidden behind a facade of tools that completely obscure it. Where are the "blobs" in git reset? What is the "index"? Is it a "tree" (it's not, IIRC)? I definitely agree with people who complain about the porcelain layer's design. But I still use git every day and love it.
Thanks, I'll have a look. I know most (all?) of the modern Buchla machines are all analog/digital cyborgs at this point.
I tend to agree.

I am not someone who has a deep understanding of the inner-workings of git by any means, yet I am perfectly comfortable with rebasing and cherry-picking.

For me, git is so much easier to intuit if I only think of it as diffs. When I rebase, I'm just rearranging diffs, or squashing them together, or whatever. If I try and think of everything as snapshots it actually gets more confusing for me.
>What good is money if you can’t use it to convince other people to do things for you?

Yes that's literally the point of money: a store of value and a medium of exchange.
I run a b2b saas that is used daily by some fortune500s. I have been going through rigorous vetting processes but have only once been asked about this. I lied and told them it is no problem. I usually pretend my company is larger than it is (me).

It gives me a headache now and then, and am now in the process to get someone else onboard.

Friendly reminder: Azure and AWS both offer a free tier of VM which are perfectly sufficient for a personal openVPN server. Azure even has a preconfigured option in their marketplace that's easy to set up in a legal jurisdiction of your choice.

Probably so does AWS and even DigitalOcean, but I'm most familiar with Azure because of my own preference for open source (Azure's orchestrator is
https://github.com/microsoft/service-fabric/). After the free year, a minimal always-on VM costs about $13/mo.
Not arbitrary. Modulo some constant k, the size of the tape alphabet. They're just choosing as the tape alphabet the set { 1, 2, …, k-1 }, and as the transition function one that maps each n to n+1 mod k. It's just a lookup table.
It’s one of two(1) concurrently-developed mathematical formalisms that each have been proven to be at least as powerful as any possible algorithm, and were in fact used to codify what an “algorithm” is in a formal sense. It had only been a vague, intuitive concept before.

(1) The other is Church’s lambda calculus
Most web sites can grow significantly without having to do data partitioning. Simple replication should be considered as a first option, especially if your read/write ratio is high. Also, you don't have to implement a lot of extra logic in your application; just write to your master and read from the slaves.
Nanotechnology is hype. It already exists... it's called biology. It is possible to get a fair idea of its limitations from studying biology, since nature has been exploring it for about five billion years.

What is not hype is this: http://reprap.org/

It's not "nano," but it is workable and working. The goal is to build a set of reprap variants that collectively can self-manufacture. Once that is done you have a human-scale, workable, practical universal assembler. It is not as sexy as a nano-universal-assembler, but unlike nano-hype it is actually happening.

Of course, I'm sure we will make extensive use of nanotech in colonizing Mars as well: algae, soybeans, etc.
Yes, thank you for reminding me how awesome Erlang is!
Yeah that seems like an obvious problem to anyone who's looked inside a combustion chamber. I wish they'd mentioned something about how they think this is not a problem.
Reddit have real problems with staffing. They have said they are planning to do stuff like this, but their parent company Conde Nast won't let them hire anyone, for some corporate reason. They only have like one sysadmin IIRC.
I think it shows how addicting it is. People wouldn't feel the need to broadcast if it wasn't an addiction.

I respect trying to get more time out of your day (RescueTime helps). But it seems here Matt has found an issue (TSA backlash) that is helping him go cold turkey. Since it is public resignation, it may help him regain some of his productive time.

If noone knows you quit, you can come back on Monday with no consequence.
But only the "justified" part. Truth and belief are still necessary conditions.
at least its not reddit (yet).
FWIW, the reason I use a copper scraper is simply that copper, as I understand it, has antimicrobial properties, and consequently I would be able to get by with a less thorough cleaning of the scraper than something plastic or wood that's not single-use. I basically rinse it under heavy water and give it a rub with my thumb.

My wife and I can both objectively report that bad breath has gone WAY down with the scraper. There's almost no morning breath now, as a matter of fact, with a scrape before bed.

Cool! I like minimodem: https://github.com/kamalmostafa/minimodem and heard from someone who compiled it on termux. Would love if ggwave allowed to chose encoding.

It would be nice if ggwave made a apk available or published on f-droid.
I like how the vocabulary you use imply there is something highly nefarious happening here whereas it is all fairly standard direct marketing based on an exchange of data clearly highlighted in the TOS.

I don't really understand why everyone is up in arms here. In this case, Microsoft is basically a reseller. They told Canonical that they sold one of their product to a customer and Canonical reached out on LinkedIn, a professional social network. It all seems fair game to me. This is not some creepy internet tracking using dubious way to segment people. This is basic direct marketing in a B2B context.

It's all pretty tame.

That may be true, but we're at least a few years away from Google's autonomous vehicles being on the road, much less mass adoption. Even longer for vehicle ownership patterns in the US to change dramatically enough that an autonomous-car-hire service will eat the world.

It may happen, but there is such an enormous gap of time between then and now that I wouldn't exactly be picking winners just yet.
If you do it well, you can get very precise error handling, because errors are detected in the context where they first occur. However, to do it well you have to put a try/catch around every asynchronous operation, which makes nested callbacks even harder to read than they already are. Consequently people write code that doesn't handle all possible errors, and when one falls between the cracks, it gets caught only by the top-level default handler (assuming you've declared one), at which point the context is lost.

The other problem that comes up is the difficulty of getting a backtrace beyond the current callback. It can be hard to troubleshoot an error in a callback when you can't look back at how the async call got started. In such cases what you really want is a list of backtraces that capture all the relevant history. I seem to recall that people have come up with solutions for this, but can't remember what they are. Maybe someone else can comment?
Would love to get some feedback on whether you'd use this service, or any ideas around it!

To an extent you are right, lots of Amiga software and hardware has traditionally been commercial and proprietary in a (maybe misguided) effort to save the platform.

That said, there is a lot of open source hardware too nowadays, here's a very helpful list:

As a parent of small kids who just watched the video, I would say 2–3 year old seems about right, assuming kids who do a lot of running around. 3-year-olds can move with significantly more grace (the motions are more intentional, fluid, subtle, and steady, and seem less scripted) than these robots, but definitely can't do a jump precisely the same 10 times in a row, so it's not really apples to apples.

Maybe age isn't the right measure. I would say that these robots move like a 3-year-old kid who has been practicing a particular motion sporadically for a month or two, but not like an active 3-year old who has been practicing the same motion for a year.

If you compare to the kids who do martial arts or gymnastics or some serious sport or whatever, by age 6 or 7 the kids are leaving these robots in the dust. (The robots are still amazing though.)
I’m going to post the unpopular opinion here and say that this is OK in my book.

This archive is distributing out of date documentation without making it clear that it’s out of date. This could cause a major problem for someone that uses it.

The documentation for the same chip is perfectly available on TIs website, although to get older datasheets you’ll need to dig further (by design).

There’s a ton of sites mirroring datasheets, and they weren’t DMCA. It looks like someone at TIs legal got creative about how control this sites to update their info.
If only Apple didn't have a monopoly on the App Store on the iPhone. Then we wouldn't have to know this information because we could get it from a different App Store where Facebook doesn't have to share this info!
I'm also surprised by this, and I'm surprised by the fact that the focus seems to be on selling. It's not at all clear to me how all the buyers find what's being sold (maybe I'm missing an alternate landing page for buyers?).
"it’s about having a pipeline that lets you take a diverse set of motions, that you can describe through a variety of different inputs, and push them through and onto the robot."

Remember that, when you think automation can come later.

I've seen Bitcoin go from its beginnings through the thick and the thin. And they say that when there is blood in the water is when it's the best to get involved if you believe in it! We 100% do. We are operating our platform under skilled gaming which is legal in 37 states and the same protocol that other skilled gaming companies follow. This is allowed by Paypal and Coinbase.

Good job cherry picking that ticket! Also right in your comment "first page with 198 stars", let me direct you to the title of this post "Many Android bugs with 500+ stars closed as obsolete on December 25". 198 !>= 500, if YOU ACTUALLY EVEN LOOKED at what these requests are you would see a number of them are VERY relevant:

* iCal .ics support (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1257)

* Phone burning battery while idle (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22878)

* API to access in-call audio (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2117)

* Unable to connect to hidden SSID (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1041)

* Allow longer SMS (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2318)

> If they are still relevant a year later maybe you should go through and do something productive like creating a new issue with updated details.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the people filing these bugs or replying to them just gave up after waiting multiple years and switched to a custom ROM that does address the issue or even switched OS's.
> impossible to prove the absence of something.

If p => q, then ¬q => ¬p. So if p is "The goto fail was setup by the NSA", then surely we can come up with a reasonable q which could be (dis)provable ?
It works quite well. They've done a great job at following Google's "Material Design" prescriptions while -- surprisingly -- not actually using the Polymer framework. First time I've seen that.

The app loads some interesting libraries:

* CryptoJS 3.1.2 (for AES and HMAC-SHA256)

* punycode 2.1.4

* bluebird 2.5.3

* React 0.12.2 (with addons)

It's entirely possible that they really are doing end-to-end crypto...
This hasn't happened though. It's rare enough that people use it as a hypothetical example of "oh my god, what if?"
I don't think it's desirable for most people, they just don't realize what they're missing.

Many people here seems happy for these news. From now on never talk about censorship. Your position on this situation will give you right to talk about censor. America is ruled by tech giants. Forget trump. You will be the first country that will be governed by companies.
President Johnson was impeached 3 days after the offense for which he was impeached, the senate then voted on the removal 8 days after that.

That's a bad idea. His presidency is basically over. The only thing it would accomplish is to convince his diehard supporters that a coup is in fact taking place and they should respond in kind.
Thats pretty much all facebook was 10 years ago as well.
The flaw in that way of thinking is that kids, broke college students, and those generally less well off had no social life or network before social media.
I guess its obvious that the algo must work for a large enough number of people and for its optimization function.

You may simply be that % of the false positive/false negative that is a cost of doing business.

I mean - the alternative to this is having Google employ all the out of work journalists and editors and manually curate lists for people. I think the cost of losing a few people is vastly lower than hiring that many people, in each culture and country around the world.
I found the encryption really cumbersome. Like I just downloaded the app and its asking me to authorize my account from another Matrix client that I've previously signed into or I won't be able to read encrypted messages people send me. But I'm pretty sure I uninstalled those other clients so idk what to do there.

Also I've previously had the Android app crash and throw Java stack traces, but that was an older version.
In case anyone doesn't want to give up a number, but doesn't necessarily need it, you can also park the phone number at a VOIP provider for about $1/month.
I too, am curious. It seems like Mastodon and other federated networks definitely have user well being and autonomy as a goal. However, for whatever reason, most of the more popular federated networks seem to aspire to be "X, but federated" instead of having drastically different user experiences.
Reality is complicated. That's why. Silver Bullet solutions presume reality is simple and simplistic. Reality is nonlinear and has feedback loops.

I think it's more dark humor / coping with death than a plan. if that were someone's serious plan, they would probably consider killing themselves if the bomb didn't do it for them.

This reminds me of hypermedia API. Generally speaking, you're provided with an index of resources via xml/json, you then fetch those resources which provide a single or many levels of additional results which are fetch-able. In essence, your api data is almost browse-able. Objective is Idempotent response, fetch as little as possible, provide new functionality via new resources, and resources with discover-ability for auto RPC. https://github.com/swagger-api/swagger-spec/
Absolutely. Android dev makes me appreciate the relative robustness and elegance of front-end web dev, and that's saying something.

At least in principle, modern cars should be getting better at not running into things to begin with. The most survivable crash is one that didn't happen because HAL stepped in at the last minute to apply the brakes or stabilize the vehicle.

Disagree? Why? Active crash-avoidance aids seem to be getting pretty impressive.
No need for gas infrastructure could be compelling. Charge at night at home.
The unpainted steel of the DeLorean made it a pain in the ass to repair. You can't pull dents, apply body filler and repaint, you basically need a whole new panel if you want to restore damage.
Independent of, and in addition to, other locking schemes, how about an active process that monitors for either high acceleration (the laptop being moved) or noise above a certain threshhold?
I checked out the site for Cox, my local cable company. For TV, they advertise $49.99, and above that in smaller letters it says "prices per month for 3 months, starting at." If I click "Find Out More" below the price, which it seems is required to get any details or sign up, it then gives me several plans whose prices are "for 12 months with 2-year service agreement." If I keep poking around I can finally view the terms of the offer which says "Bundle rate increases $15/month for months 13-24."

Certainly not great. But at least it's reasonably clear that the number they give you isn't the full story, even if finding the real one takes a bit of legwork. Not trying to defend them, but this helicopter thingy is a bit worse.
came to the comments to say this
hmmm... and Hawks?
I'm a little lost. If it's unlikely to have happened here, why was it brought up in the first place? What's the relevance to this thread?

The request you're referring to isn't mine; it's 'specialp's. It's in response to this comment (in its entirety):

My guess is he plead guilty under advisement his case was hopeless. There's a significant likelihood evidence necessary to aide his case is locked away deep inside the FBI.

For ZFS, putting in a 128GB SSD for the L2ARC solved the problem for me even though I only have 2GB of Ram for a 12TB ZFS pool.
Sure, but if you dump something on it which has a grain size that's similar to the voids in the material, all bets are off. If the average void is 1um and you put 0.1um dust all over it, I would suspect that it would embed itself in there pretty nicely.
