But Gmail already does allow sharing of email filters. It's something they added recently, I think - it's still in the Google Labs tab. It's called "Filter Import/Export."

(Edit: that's the cool thing about Gmail, really - if you can think of a feature, they probably already thought of it, too.)

Edit #2: looks like it exports filters in XML, which is nice. Here's a pretty good overview of the feature:

Impressive, but not quite Pont du Gard old.

This has been happening since 2008 (and probably even earlier). Why do we only mention all of these Russian trolls when it could potentially help a candidate/politician you dislike?

When Obama ran in 2008, the trolls were out in full force. Most people didn't care and many tech outlets wrote about how this somehow made Obama and his campaign tech geniuses.

I'm just tried of the political bias of the mainstream media and magazines like Rolling Stone.
Goodness, I had no idea the power consumption of that Xeon was so high!
The code you're talking about is the final step in a long sequence of events that requires positive authorisation from 6+ individuals from the president down.

By the time you've punched in the code, whether it's an OTP or seventeen zeroes, you've already committed a missile to a target and you're already 100% going to go through with the launch because two missile combat crew members turned their keys.

Russia doesn't even bother with these kinds of codes. Their second strike capability is fully autonomous and will launch even if all of c&c infra is destroyed.

This also has absolutely nothing to do with the mechanical intrinsic safety of the actual nuclear weapon during a fire or the RV that carries it. Which is the original topic at hand. The code is just an extra step to arm the weapon. The physical safeties are there to 99.999% guarantee that the weapon will not detonate unless armed. Even if you try really really hard to detonate it.

More thinking has gone into each tiny element of this process including the kind of paint used on bombs, than you have given to the topic as a whole.
I just want vscode to work, because it's awesome when it does... but I tend to have 5-10 editors open at a time and so far only sublime_text works w/ my workflow without crashing...though it sometimes needs rebooted when the plugin manager is having race conditions or other errors. Plus other electron apps. Current system is about 8-10 years old though, upgrading after christmas sometime to 3700x amd line and ddr4 3200 ram 32gb (upgrading from 8gb)...mobo should be quite upgradeable though to last another decade.
Only the other night a Chicago cabbie tried to get my wife to pay with a portable credit card reader not the one installed in the machine. She made a big fuss and he 'discovered' that the built in machine was working after all.
The theory is that the required technological advancement to create such a simulation is plausible to be achieved in x amount of time, as long as we keep progressing. Could be a thousand or a million years.
I don't think it's purely rational. It's probably the case that loss aversion[0] or some combination of psychological phenomena play a huge role. But I suppose the rational component is: If it's practical to save a species, and that species may provide some useful knowledge or inspiration in the future, why not save it?

> If more species is best, should we bread or genetically engineer new ones? Is that “better”?

I get what you're saying, but you have to draw the line somewhere. For example, if more money is better, why not work 3 jobs?

Exactly. BLM rioters created enormous damage yet I never saw any news that BLM/Antifa are indefinitely blocked from FB.
Interesting how they sing a different tune once the other party finally gets certification of the election results, time to get 'cozy' with the new people in power and set up those dinners [1] and ad deals with them.

Could there be an alternative model where companies give up (often illusory) secrecy for most things, and have employees working in shared spaces near their accommodations, with employees of other companies?

I think that's already the case for a lot of startup accelerators because it helps spread and nurture ideas. You trade internal knowledge transmission for transfers with other companies, most likely not competitors anyway.

Covid WFH completely gives up on offices, but post-Covid does not have to be that extreme.
I am wondering what kind of companies and office environments people who prefer working at the office are at.

I work somewhere that requires a ~1.5 hour miserable commute to get to; unresolvable without paying significantly more for smaller/older/inferior housing closer to the office.

The office itself is your typical dystopian Dilbertesque environment - I'd say this is par for course for most "old school" companies where tech is a cost center. Atmosphere itself is pretty dreary, everyone must wear at least business casual (dress shirt, dress pants, dress shoes).

I've been to the offices of some Silicon Valley style tech companies and the atmosphere and environment could not be more different from mine. I know grass is greener from the other side, and eventually work is work, but I could imagine myself enjoying being at the office much more in such a place.
I didn't mean to pile on!
Yeah, I understand the benefits of not having to commute, the peace and quite you get when working from home, but the complaint here is that the employer suck.

In this case, and depending on the country, working at this office is illegal. The assumption that working from home is better is a little naive. It’s a result of a terribly company, who will manage to make working from home equally terrible in the long run.
For all the people who mention running adblock, and hate ads on aesthetic grounds, visit his site from a browser not running adblock. The ads displaying in the right hand side are relatively unobtrusive and inoffensive.

(Now, if you're concerned about privacy or performance, keep adblock on).
Or if it saw anything dangerous, it'd confirm that you want to run it.

Edit: Fair points on all the comments below, pardon my ignorance :)
Is this the first Exchange in USA?
What about Kraken? I've been using Kraken and works great.
I understand the concerns, but the same "have you tried implementing" concern applies there too. This is premature optimization, until you do it both ways and profile it and see if the runtime difference matters. Cache locality is a thing, but so is prematurely guessing about cache locality.

Not everything using A* runs millions of pathfinding queries in tight loops. Maybe it's an offline turn-based game that runs A* once per move and saving 10 μs just won't ever matter as compared to the complexity cost of implementing and maintaining the extra abstraction.
There is a difference between price and cost. The death spiral scenario that he talks about results from dropping the price to zero while still having nonzero cost. You may disagree with that assessment, but it's not a contradiction.
I'd agree that down-voting has become more prevalent and is unfortunately often used to show disagreement. I think one problem is that HN is likely acquiring a lot of redditors where votes in general are not nearly as meaningful (especially down-votes).

Reddit is, in my opinion, a place mostly for fluff (humor, pop culture content, etc) while HN is a place we seek out for information and discussion. Disagreement only down-votes definitely suppress discussion so I'm all for seeing HN experiment with curbing down-vote usage.

I could see "controversial down-votes" being an interesting method for identifying people abusing their down-vote privilege. If a comment gets a mix of up-votes and down-votes its likely that the down-votes are disagreement driven so that could be an easy place to start.

edit: To emphasize the point, this comment has been down-voted at least once
I'll be honest -- I hate working without a debugger. Go's gdb support was never great, and the team appears to have decided it's a fool's errand. On the other hand, the Delve project looks like it's serious about building a "real" debugger for Go (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8595407). Supposedly it works on Linux, but I'm waiting on Mac support, which I understand is held up on Linux/Mach/Darwin differences.

In the meantime, I've gotten pretty good at printf() debugging (I worked on embedded systems in a past life, so it's a skill I've had to develop). I'm also considering adding some more structured log/trace/metrics stuff (perhaps exposed via a simple web UI) that would allow me to escape the "tyranny of the ever-scrolling console".

But in the end, I'll consider Go dead for game development (at least for me) if the debugger situation doesn't get fixed. I'm just betting that it will.
awareness for this is always good
many now just have scripts doing curl blah | sudo and expecting the blah url will always serve the content they expect.
signed versions seems to be the current best way to not have problems, even thus its not perfect.

And of course, most things like npm either dont support this or dont support it well, or nobody cares about it
There are only a few circumstances where you would not promote to queen.

The first is if promoting to queen would cause stalemate. In that case, you would probably promote to bishop instead, because rook would cause the same problem as queen, and knight is harder to force mate with. In the rare case where a bishop would cause stalemate, you promote to rook instead.

The second is if promoting to knight would force checkmate faster or more surely than queen, which is so rare you practically need to play with the intent of making it happen.

Either one is trivial to determine in a chess-playing program.

Check 1: would a knight promotion cause immediate checkmate? If yes, then promote to knight.

Check 2: would a queen promotion cause immediate stalemate? If no, then promote to queen.

Check 3: would a rook promotion cause immediate stalemate? If no, then promote to rook.

Check 4: would a bishop promotion cause immediate stalemate? If no, then promote to bishop.

Check 5: would a knight promotion cause immediate stalemate? If no, then promote to knight.

Otherwise, promote to queen and take the stalemate.

Or you could simply make queen promotion the automatic default unless you advanced the pawn using a context menu to promote to a different piece.
Transacting without offering money as an exchange medium.
I think the parties that would suffer most would be the companies that have specialized in providing and generating targeted advertising - ie. Google and Facebook, and the ad agencies which run ads on those platforms.

Regardless, I'm not sure recognizable megacorps would suffer much. A Big Mac is a known quantity, and everyone recognizes the Golden Arches, whether you're in Seattle or Shanghai. It's the local gastropub that would have a hard time promoting themselves to the tiny subset of the population that is 'vacationing foodies' without targeted advertising. At the same time, I don't see them advertising much - perhaps it's the middle of the road regional franchises that have the funds to employ ad agencies for that purpose.
That's a little too broad, it's fine to let tech sites run tech industry ads and hobby sites could still run hobby ads, etc.
> both described themselves as "systems programming languages."

IIRC Rob Pike later commented that Go should have been advertised more like a "network services programming language" as it is better suited for writing network services than to write low-level components (os kernels, device drivers, embedded programs).
But what is the MTBF? What is the chance that a unit can keep all of its tanks running without stopping for 600 miles?
What is targeted advertising needed for?
LastPass has the same problem.
I'd say it's in part because Go originated at Google and Rust originated at Mozilla. Two browser vendors announcing new languages at the height of the browser wars caused the languages to attract the same tribalism.
Maybe OP is referring to this one?

For titles such as these that seemingly contradict existing physics, I always open the comments section first here to see whether the article has anything real to offer or spells misconceptions on me. Thank you (HN).
This sort of exploration of genetic correlations is really intriguing to me, largely because of the related question of human inequality. This study essentially affirms that certain genes act as a risk factor in life. To simplify my point: if we know the genes that cause some to be more likely handicapped in life, should we give them extra support? Should we give some personal tutoring to everyone lacking x,y and z genes? Free gym membership to anyone lacking the (probably non-existant) gym rat gene to encourage exercise? I'm fully aware that this would be premature, but maybe in 20 years?

Something like extra screenings for anyone with higher genetic chance of cancer isn't controversial, but I wonder if we'll ever be ready to go further than that.
This solarwinds breach feels like it might spiral into one of the major new stories this year with it’s likely legs. Really depends on how much data was snapped up. It’s like an onion each layer bringing more tears.

I've long maintained that "spirited" driving on public roads is "jackass" driving.

The best thing we can do is keep each other safe.

I'm guilty of driving fast in in the past. I'm glad i aged past it and found other sources of identity.

This is a very insightful point. There is already a culture meming the imaginary April rooms where the "rich and powerful" gather to do insider-deals. You see this with all the get-rich-quick rooms, "thought-leader TedX" rooms, and "insightful conversation about social issues" rooms. It's a big pretend-land where everyone can partake what they imagine the "upper-crust" talks about. Someone made a point of people showing up at Soho house in 2020 (after it has "sold out") wearing designer clothes they got at the outlet, not knowing it sends a different signal. The truth is ... the only "consequential" people that frequent clubhouse are there to promote a very specific agenda, using the resident population as fodder to their cause. It's a stark microcosm of the inequalities in this society, and how consumer culture does not address the inquality, but rather just veil it in ignorance.
That makes sense! Thanks
I think you are overestimating suply of talented ppl. On my lvl there's 100 ppl per year in Poland. So it's 100 per 40M. Guess in other countries it's similar or less and here programming is quite popular.
Please don’t downvote this guy, or the other crypto proponents, when they try to explain why they support it. I think the idea here is to have open debates with them, not run them out of town.

So a bunch of party lines? Doesn't seem that worth getting excited about, certainly doesn't seem worth a billion dollars when Discord basically does the same thing already.
That's absolutely fair! I think finding a solution to this will be key to any kind of mainstream adoption
I hate to be a negative person, but isn’t this what Steve Jobs called a feature, not a product? I work on trading systems before, custom built indices are very common. What’s stopping IB, Fidelity etc to simply put this in their system?
I don’t know how you do rebalancing, corporate actions, etc?

Yes, your point is entirely fair. I should have clarified that I was talking about an older (mid decade) MacBook Pro. It requires enough force that, with my arm just positioned normally, I can actually feel the torque applied down the whole of my forearm.

My understanding is that Apple has made the clicks much lighter in their later models - along with doing the exact same thing with the keyboard keys, which for me goes much to far in the other direction.
Section 230 is woefully naive and written for a bygone era. Censorship of speech by a small group of kleptocrat mega corporations on the greatest communication medium ever known to mankind is antithetical to everything America stands for.
So, like all engineers, I imagine that my products that I ship will reach massive levels of scale. Such massive level of scale that I need to use elastic compute, so I should expect processes to come and go.

Thus, my processes clearly has to sustain 100k+ connections. And, at a moment's notice, I should expect the process to go "poof". Maybe someone is going to do a kernel upgrade or someone decided to unplug a machine, I don't know!

Having operated with the above assumptions, I found it hard to be wise to avoid that and then invented a programming language that would operate in a modern cloud environment.

I need better hobbies, or not... who knows.
> Everyone knows that any script that works in PHP 5.6 will probably work just fine in 7.0

This is no longer strictly true. On Friday, the "let's remove all the deprecated stuff" RFC was passed. Anything that causes an E_DEPRECATED in 5.6 will now be a fatal in 7. For example, ext/ereg and ext/mysql are no longer included, and have been shipped off to PECL. Shouldn't be a problem for anyone that doesn't compile their own, really. A few php.ini settings are also now removed, which will fatal on startup.

It'll be safe to say that if your code runs fine under 5.6 with error_reporting set to -1, then you'll probably run under 7 without too much trouble.
This is part 4, the longest of a 4-part series. The other three parts are 10-15 min each, and talk a little bit about The Legend of Zelda as a game, and show desoldering the ROM and replacing it with an EPROM. In this part, we see how to reverse-engineer how the game stores its state, how to modify the code to do things differently, and burn the result to the EPROM so it can be played on original hardware.
I might be naive but I actually somewhat believe him.
There are a couple problems with running Linux on MacBook Pro's but I wouldn't recommend against it. I think if you like Linux go for it :)

My mid 2010 MacBook Pro is setup to dual boot OSX and Crunchbang Linux. In the past I had Ubuntu setup as the Linux OS, but I switched to the Openbox window manager when Ubuntu opted for Unity as the desktop environment. Openbox comes preconfigured on Crunchbang. Really nicely done. http://crunchbang.org/

I use Linux about 99% of the time on this laptop and have done since 2010. The only real problem is battery life. It isn't as good as OSX. I get about 2 hours.

As well as being great hardware it is nice to boot into OSX to run programs that aren't available on Linux.

I'm really happy with this computer. I've had it for about 4 1/2 years and I think I'd be happy to use it for another 2 or 3 years.
Correct. The FBI's original mission was to investigate citizens who opposed the politics of the individuals in executive office.
I think it is cool to think of one's self as the hero in the story of their life. You battle adversaries, have little victories, complete long story arcs, find a sweetheart and have romance.

I feel Perl does not deserve to be mentioned in a hero's tale. There's been too much rankling and nincompoopery out of perl's characters given the size of that community. Far, FAR too much griping. Perl is a bummer, and that is why it did not win.

My philosophy is: live the life of a champion - overcome and be a shining light for others. Your war stories should be mostly glorious victories, no matter how mundane the battles or battlefields were.
Does anyone have any thoughts of the list?

I'd have thought that California would be placed higher than spot 5.

From the article:

"The rankings are not a guide to the best states to start a new business, nor are they the best states to move a business to—at least not in the traditional sense of weighing where to find cheap labor and low taxes, says Rob Atkinson, president of the ITIF and lead author of the study. "But if you're an entrepreneur trying to do something new, something that's based on new kinds of products or services, and you want to be globally linked and need highly skilled workers and IT infrastructure, this is a much more accurate tool for that," says Atkinson."

---

So I'm interested to see exactly what parameters went into determining the best places for "an entrepreneur trying to do something new."
Added a "results per page" option, goes up to 500.
As far as I can tell, the ban has not yet been enforced. I can access both https://cryptbin.com/ and https://snipt.net/, though my ISP is limited only to Bangalore area.

> Not all overdosing is due to "no proper information available about dosages". I'd wager that few overdoses are from first-time users, so the overdoser has some information about their own previous dosages at the very least

The purity of drugs varies a lot, and a couple of missed steps of dilution and adulteration can easily lead to overdoses.

> If the only problem with drugs is that they are illegal, why do they need treatment? Can we agree that an addict that wants treatment would need it whether the drug is legal or not? And that some people don't do it, or can't afford it, regardless of its legality (see: alcohol)?

I didn't say all, I said "most" of the problem with drugs is that they are illegal.

The problem is that the current system does absolutely nothing to combat the problems both you and I mention. It is a huge waste of money, time, life and resources. Sticking addicts who need treatment in jail does nothing to solve the problem.

Legalization, harm-reduction and proper education seems to be the way to go. Current "abstinence-only" drug education simply doesn't cut it. Informing users about both the risks and benefits of drug use in an unbiased, non-judgemental way would be much more effective.

All this doesn't even take into account the philosophical argument that an adult should be free to put whatever they want into their own bodies. You can't stop people from making poor life decisions.
Well said. It's your nuance that I like, and it's the lack of nuance in the original assertion that I find wanting.
From looking at the video it seems like a full-size van would only need about 18 inches of clearance between the door and the van. Maybe 24 at the outside.
I really liked your point B. I think it is very well put and shines light in real problems, instead of just saying "Damn capitalism!".

I didn't liked your point A. Your comparison doesn't make any sense.
Toby Hemenway gave a great lecture at Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University, and he specifically talks about how we have "made people out of oil" for the last few generations.

That seems nontrivial that the same key would be used to decrypt the result. Does this only work for some subset of ML models?
