the only reason one could be concerned about/afraid of this is if they recognize that the window of politically acceptable thought is shifting faster than ever these days, such that today's seemingly levelheaded opinion could be cause for cancellation years down the road. that should be the actual cause for concern, not the fact that things that were publicly posted to the Web are being archived.
I own a car, but I live my life as if I didn't to be honest, so I think the futurologists' claims might be actually here.

When I need a car, I rent it by the minute, $.17 for one minute, minimum fee of around $2. It's electric, it's usually filled (or if I do the filling for free I get a lot of points that I can use to get the car for a day), they're scattered all around the city and have parking paid with the municipality; they're insured and you just hop on and hop off where you need.

For when I need to make a road trip or something, I just rent out a larger truck from a rental company, and for how often I make them (a couple of times per year), it's really not such a big bang for my buck. I can get a small car for like $5 / day, or a larger one starting at $10.

So... I really don't see the benefit of owning my car at this point, it takes up real estate space, mental space, and it's outdated compared to what I usually drive.
Look at the media today. Very little is reported in full context. It's carved up, and presented in little snippets to imply something different, often with the intent to provoke outrage in the audience. No confidence that this will change; it is only going to get worse.
Yes, this is my exact situation too, and if I want a headphone jack then I'm stuck with the Pixel 4a which has only 128GB of storage and other deficiencies :(
Oh absolutely. Medication should be a last option or an emergency option for most cases.
This is a bit tangential, but I wish we weren’t seeing links to tweets showing up as hn stories. It’s not a legitimate news source, and it bans people left and right for nothing because they have such serious botting and conspiracy theory problems
Just the usual tech industry delusions of grandeur.
Fun experiment, but I'd rather have a floppy full of tracker chiptunes...
How much code is still running on python 2.x today?
UBI, universal basic income, is universal. Lowering the tax rate below zero for some people is not universal but only some percentage of the population.
>>The symptoms only really present themself at night when going to bed, as I guess I have no other stimuli to focus on. During the day it's basically not an issue.

Do you take night showers? If your house has hard water or your water dept. adds excessive chlorine, then either of those could be the culprit.
You might want bass (https://github.com/edc/bass) or replay.fish (https://github.com/jorgebucaran/replay.fish) if you need to run bash scripts that modify the shell. I personally use replay.fish (although I guess I haven't updated in a while since my version is still called "bax").

The two pin plug that attaches directly to the power brick isn’t grounded, but the power adapter extension lead is and it solves this problem. https://www.apple.com/nz/shop/product/MK122X/A/power-adapter...
I have a ThinkPad X1 Yoga since five years (gen1, 2016-19, gen2 since last year) and it is silent 99% of the time. You have to run with full load several minutes for turning up the fan. This is especially valid for the aluminium ThinkPad. Running Linux on it, never Windows :)
I find it interesting that this is coming through their main news channel (main website and Twitter), rather than a side channel, like an engineering blog.
"The GIL absolutely makes it easier to use OS threads in terms of development ease"

Yes, but pretending that you can have the ease of not worrying about thread safety while still having the performance benefits of multi-threading (real OS threads, mind you) is ridiculous. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
I've been reading through the sections for the past hour, so not enough time to get the full context, and a few questions arose:

1. I see that companies using Rega will have to file with the SEC, but does that mean the registering companies will be private or public?

2. If registering companies have to disclose information and it is available on EDGAR, will it be on EDGAR as a reference to a hard copy or will it be available to view online?

3. Is it possible to see a list of companies actively seeking crowdfunding that are currently pursuing Rega exemption? Or is it considered a private offering?

There are more questions, but I think that's a good start to get out of the way for us.
Good point, but they do still have to pay development costs for Cloudflare Tunnel.
That's complete bullshit. Global warming isnt a binary of either we're fucked or we're not fucked. It's a gradient of more fucked the look get we wait to phase out emissions. It's never too late because it can always be
Made worse by continuing to emit more.
My Gell-Mann Amnesia effect tingles reading this post. I've spent my entire career in adtech. I have a few notes below. Outside of those, Stratechery skews FB positive, and it makes it hard to take his commentary at face value.

1. He argues that FB is able to succeed with something like Reels which are better than search at driving consumer behavior. This is not how marketers view the ad ecosystem. Early on the article he claims that the marketing funnel is compressed down to a single impression in some cases. That is where fortune 100 advertisers would disagree. They use multi-touch attribution to understand the value of each impression. In addition to incrementality tests to validate the change in consumer behavior from ad exposures. I see this as a major jump in logic to defend FB's business.

> ... far more important form of advertising than search ads: yes, there are scenarios where a firm can surface something that fits exactly what you are searching for, but oftentimes search ads feel like a rake on organic results that would have given you what you were looking for anyways.

2. He goes onto an anti-Apple take regarding Apple's own data collection policies. He loses the plot on why AppTrackingTransparency exists. It prohibits apps to collect user data and link that data to 3rd party sources without user consent (opt-in). App developers can continue to user their 1P data within their properties. That is the bare minimum amount of data restrictions our daily smartphones should have. This is a generally a good thing. FB can continue to monetize itself using a breathtaking large amount of data from both opt-in users and opt-out users while respecting ATT policies. Why did FB fail to ready its ad products years in advance? Apple provided plenty of notice. FB could've easily bucket tested each one of its solutions with limited data and prepared accordingly with modeled or panel based approaches. I see this as a FB failure or a coordinated approach to play victim. Either way, keeping data in silos is better than sharing data from users across data players which consumers know nothing about. In this respect, Google's approach to Privacy Sandbox at least grants it air cover when it comes to consumer trends. FB has chosen to do nothing and they are out of ideas.

Lastly, from I've gathered Apple struggles with its own ad business because of ATT.
This is awesome. About a year ago I bought a Kinect with the intent of doing something very similar. This story makes me want to get coding again.

I was excited by Amazon phone's stereo camera as well as Google's project tango. Depth sensing technology is very exciting indeed!
Sounds like he did okay. Besides, being asked to work with/for Boulez is pretty tall cotton. I'd say from the piece his primary identification will always be as a composer. Composing and technology will always be cousins, IMO. Software is especially a compositional discipline.

This being said, I still have nightmares about the DX-7 :) It's utterly amazing how fast things changed after that.
Just want to chime in that when I was 23 I got no attention from women (mostly on dating apps). Now I'm 30 and the attention I get has skyrocketed. I'm losing hair too - I've got the Bernie Sanders look going haha - so I think that there's a strong age component in there.

Just wanted to throw that out there because I was seriously dejected a few years ago over this, but things have gotten better and better as I've gotten older.
Very true! Most school boards seem to be just retired people that ran for that position and barely get paid. You can see some of these pay levels in California.

It seems that School Administrators/Superintendents/Principals make the most money in these districts. As much as a quarter million.

We are addressing the problem with www.nixty.com. We launched in July. There is definitely a lot of opportunity here. There are also a lot of challenges in addressing this market. If interested shoot me an email glen at nixty dot com. I'd be happy to talk more with you about this space and share what we've learned in the process. Also, if you are interested, here is an overview video of what we are doing: http://www.youtube.com/user/NIXTYLearning. Here is another video - an interview with Scoble -- it is more of a high-level sketch of where we see things going (more emphasis on research-backed open courseware etc.): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YfuDRlUp3AU
I delivered newspapers from the ages of 8-18 every morning from 5a-6a. I was skinny as a rail and had more mental clarity than anytime since. If only I could go back to those days...
I'm really excited about the prospects of Khan Academy (and similar tools). Technology has the potential to give students access to the best teachers in the world. I for one would rather have my kids watch on television lectures by phenomenal professors who are engaging, passionate, and great communicators and have their in-class teachers serve more as TA's to help fill in the learning gaps.

My girlfriend, who is a teacher, doesnt believe this is a very productive technique however.
Well, you could put multiple cron lines in.
e.g. for every 8 minutes:

0,8,16,24,32,40,48,56 0,2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22 * * * cmd
4,12,20,28,36,44,52 1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19,21,23 * * * cmd

This starts to get a bit silly when the interval isn't a factor of 24 though.
Fixed, was redis issue.
I'm pretty sure aerobic exercise is better for the brain than strength training. Aerobic exercise increases oxygen flow to the brain and it directly improves creation and survival of neurons. Effectively it acts as a drug for your brain.

It has the additional benefit that it alters your mood, aerobic exercise makes you happy :)

Strength training may boost testosterone, but the effects of aerobic exercise is well established. Several comparisons have been done between aerobic and strength training and the conclusions have been that strength training have little effect on executive function.

My source for this is the book "Brain Rules" by John Medina [1]. Also check out his presentation on exercise [2] and his Authors@Google talk [3].

I'm not quite sure I see the point. Programmers don't need to care about multi-core, because things like your web server and database will take care of it for you? Then what about the people developing those software products?
drives like this will typically be rated for a 5yr operational life.
There’s also listen-before-talk rules for devices in certain ISM bands in the EU. Affects at least LTE, Wifi and a few other users in 5.8ghz
> Why should automotive control systems be different?

Perhaps because you can't just pull a plane over on the side of the road if something goes wrong?

A lot of things on a car are held to different (lesser) standards than aircraft. For example, you don't see magnetos on a car, though you will frequently see two on an private aircraft engine so it can keep firing if the electrical system goes out.
For HTTP connections, is there a current best practice that a javascript author can use to make sure that their code hasn't been modified by a MitM prior to execution on the browser?
Another solution with similar properties (approximate votes, etc) would involve bloom filters on each post, and the vote counter would only be incremented when a user is not present in the bloom filter, and is immediately added to it.
I would rather wear this then an iwatch.
I like to think of Go as a niche language with excellent tooling for small-medium microservices and various forms of networking clients and servers. When you look at it in that light, it's not a bad language. It's an okay language missing a lot of features (many based on good intentions, some due to what I consider poor design) that could make it a good language.

Rust is objectively much better, but I suspect that for the next 5 years, Rust will only remain popular for systems programming but not application/web dev, and Go will only remain popular for what it's currently doing but not systems programming (with some semi-exceptions like Docker and Kubernetes, though that's not really systems programming).
Um, it's pretty clear what she needs to do. Let Google block and take her fans to a different service. And encourage other artists to do the same. And then sue Google for infringement when Google doesn't actually manage to keep their music off of YouTube. That's the only way that Google will ever pay attention.

If she doesn't help overturn this, Google will just keep doing it.

Yes, this is the standard problem. She, individually, has to take the hit so that the musicians, collectively, benefit. It sucks.

The independent artists really need to get together and build their own service with the terms they need so they don't have to keep fighting Google, Spotify, etc.
For those that wish to read the financials for Box as I did:

http://www.nasdaq.com/markets/ipos/company/box-inc-718252-74...
I'm not an expert, but by all accounts the financials for them are somewhat grim: http://www.forbes.com/sites/benkepes/2014/03/24/boxs-ipo-rev... They're spending more in sales than they're making back in revenue (nevermind profit). Building a company around spending $2 to make $1 isn't good for the long term (ask Groupon how that worked out for them).
I've always thought that the problem with America is too many states, which allows effective one-party states to develop.

In Australia there's only six states, and they're all large and demographically diverse enough to be (in the American terminology) purple. That means that there's a regular cycle of kicking the bums out and installing the other set of bums every few election cycles, keeping things relatively healthy.

In the US, though, problems seem to develop when one party controls the legislature more or less indefinitely. In blue states this leads to slowly-collapsing economies where public-sector unions slowly suck increasing amounts of money out of the economy, and in perma-red states this leads to zany places where sodomy is theoretically illegal and you can't even buy a vibrator.

So what we really need to do is join California up with Nevada, Arizona, Idaho... maybe even as far as West Texas.
I agree with your assessment.

I've always thought that a "hacker" operates at a higher level of abstraction and/or with a broader base of knowledge to draw upon (especially from unrelated fields) than does a mere "doer".

I think there's a need for both types of people in any large team, so one type isn't necessarily better than another in all circumstances.

However, in a small team (or startup) I think hackers are much more valuable due to their generalist nature. You can always hire code monkeys later to patch edge-case bugs and polish things up :-)

Disclaimer: I'm a hacker, so maybe I'm biased...
the sources the article cited are at best unverifiable, even quoting rumor mill directly to support their claims so it does feel quite strange and we can see why from the author's disclaimer:

"Clients and employees of SemiAnalysis may hold positions in companies referenced in this article."

So somebody seeks to benefit financially from selling the perception that Samsung is in trouble but feels an online disclaimer can shield them litigious Samsung lawyers.

This won't end well.
I hate Axie and think it's the biggest scheme of our time to milk addictions and money out of poor people in developing countries but this article is still garbage and shouldn't be on here.
But you said it's unfinished and hidden behind a flag. And it's been like that for several years.

I found this in the docs:

(1) Look at CPWCT, a visual programming language (based on the C programming language, and developed/used inside Programming Without Coding Technology (PWCT)
See this online movie to get quick idea without downloading the software : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=461iVUl08mQ&list=PLpQiqjcu7Cu...

When you see this movie you will discover the difference between a Visual Programming Language like CPWCT and a text-based programming language like C

(2) When we use a text-based programming language, think of this using ( command-line / terminal ) of the operating system instead of using the GUI to do your tasks.

(3) Designing a visual programming language is an art (more complex than designing a text-based programming language) because the user interface of the visual language is more advanced.

(4) Using a Visual Programming Language, we can see the visual representation text in natural language (English, French, any other language) and we can change the visual representation and we can allow the programmer to change the visual representation (not easy to allow the programmer to change the syntax of a text-based programming language, we can do this, but the programmer will need to recompile the lexical analysis program, and it will be another language that can't recognize programs that are written using the old syntax, while in visual language we can allow this customization and we still open any programs create before or after this customization).

(5) We can add more dimensions to the visual programming language (like the time dimension). this dimension is not known to text-based programming language. you can move forward/backword during application construction process, and you can run programs in the past, you can see a movie of how to create the program step by step

See this movie : http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=wpxbf...
Seems nice, thank you!
There is a difference from selling a few cars to strangers, and setting up a car-selling business which would then be subject to a bajillion rules and regulations.

The same for selling bitcoins. You can do it a few times but if you make it a business you become a MSB.
Since Perseverance has microphone, I wonder, will we be able to hear Ingenuity fly ?

Meaningless? I value private communication with my friends and family. I don't exactly need anonymity there. In fact I want the opposite. In the absence of phone numbers I would be adding very explicit metadata on my device to distinguish between my friends.

Signal has taken measures to limit its ability to know who I'm sending and receiving messages from. Though it's still possible by mapping my IP address to me. So yes there is still a centralized metadata problem, but I'm not letting perfect stand in the way of better.
There absolutely are cameras on board, and yes they are used for navigation.

My original question relates more to bandwidth, storage and processing limitation which may mean that we won’t see high quality 30 FPS video.
Terrorist is an ideological word, therefore it doesn’t always represent everyone’s views of a certain group.

Terrorist groups born as a reaction to heavy injustice. Hundreds of thousands of dead Iraqi civilians motivate a lot of members of the most popular terrorist groups today.

This has always been like this, we don’t live in a cartoon where the bad guy is 2 dimensional.

To try to understand these groups’ motivations is easy when you are immune to their actions. However, this behaviour is pretty off putting for the other side of the discussion, in this case Turkish people.

I think we need to draw a line somewhere. I don’t know where but this doesn’t feel right for me.

When you start the justification game, you need to do it for other groups too. Otherwise it would come off as hypocritical and dishonest. I don’t know you personally, maybe you do say this for all the “terrorist” groups. But I witness this behaviour online a lot when it comes to the groups that hurt Turkish civilians and I wanted to point it out, maybe this comment can give a bit of perspective to some people.

Also a separate note for the audience, not related with your comment, this is not an Erdogan specific issue as the people from the anglo-sphere tend to claim in this thread. It started before Erdogan, it will continue after Erdogan. If Obama could be the next Turkish president, the situation would still be the same.
I purchased the aluminum case along with my LimeSDR. A few months ago, I figured out how to use trunk-recorder, and the Lime has been my police/EMS radio scanner ever since. It's been running almost nonstop for months, and I haven't noticed any issues -- even as it remained hot to the touch for all those months.
> Always. Anytime you do anything that's actually at all effective, there is hell to pay.

Just the first counter examples that comes to my mind: "Western medicine" eradicated smallpox and polio; what was the hell price for those?

"Western medicine" really only means medicine based on the scientific method, and shouldn't be conflated with the profit maximisation mechanisms which are so prevalent in the US medical system.
That office could be in the programmer's own home.
Unlike WhatsApp, the desktop app receives messages when the phone is off. Also unlike WhatsApp, messages received on the phone before you paired the desktop app do not get transferred to the computer.
This is moving the goalposts. I don't think anyone thinks tether has full reserves. They literally admitted that they don't[1]. However your original claim of "you can't redeem USDT" is misleading at best.

[1] wikipedia: "On 30 April 2019 Tether Limited's lawyer claimed that each tether was backed by only $0.74 in cash and cash equivalents"
I have no idea why this is being downvoted, other than potentially because people don't want to hear it, admit it, or listen to minorities who have talked it ad infinitum.

I once read an article by a man who raised an undomesticated wolf. It's a huge hassle and not exactly safe. But he wound up with a relatively loyal animal that disliked being separated from him. (And which routinely wrecked his house.)

If you spend your life hunting game animals with a spear, then maybe a barely tamed wolf seems like a reasonable risk in comparison?
