There are four Fundamental Forces: Strong, Weak, Electromagnetic, and Gravity.

In general, Dark Matter does not interact electromagnetically, and therefore does not emit nor absorb light. We can't see it. That's the defining property.

There may be a few flavors of dark matter, each with it's own additional properties. However, Dark Matter probably interacts through gravity and the weak force:

Well done to them! As an aside, I love the look of their shopping site (https://www.modmypi.com/shop).

Any ideas on what the shopping cart would be - eg is this a heavy customisation / BYO or does it look like something familiar to HN readers?
>"Move fast and break things"--said no carpenter, ever.

Worst analogy ever. If we had GIT for woodworking you would see productivity skyrocket. But you can't restore wood like that. You can't restore pipes, wires, structures like that.

Code.. you can. So get out of here with your analogy. I can move at a very fast paced coding new ideas at times, or implementing random stuff knowing I will probably break stuff. But you know what? I can fix that afterwards. It doesn't matter that I broke something to get something else to work.
Giving toddlers video games or movies stunts their brain development, their attention span, and is a terrible idea.

The thing that infants and toddlers want and need more than anything is loving attention from their parents or other adult figures.

You may not have asked what CPU is in your Mazda 3 when you were looking to buy it, but you most likely asked what MPG it gets, what its safety rating is, and how powerful its engine is.

If you're using you're phone as a platform to run applications, it makes sense to inquire into its specifications in order to understand whether it makes economic sense to buy one (whether its increased speed and DPI justifies the cost).
In the US, it might wind up being 'yet another tax' -- because neither income nor sales taxes would necessarily go away with the imposition of a VAT.
An option of submitting a "better URL" would be nice. This is in the context of the blogspam, i.e. when the original submission links to a page that merely rehashes the content of another page.

One option is to allow users suggest alternative url and then have the submission URL automatically changed to a suggested one once latter was submitted N times. Perhaps add a "url" option next to the "flag", make it open a page with an existing URL in the text input field and let the user change and submit it.

I know this is being done by hand by mods at the moment, and I am suggesting automating this process.
Smartphones (which I'll define as anything with a keyboard that doesn't require you to do T9 input) are now so cheap that there is close to a 1:1 overlap between "smartphone owners" and "people who do anything with their phone other than talk on it".

I think this goes right to your addressable market: I'm concerned that you might be creating a cool, useful application for a non-web savvy, non-phone savvy market.

Why do you care? It's not a resource that's a massive loss once it's gone like forests or oil. It's still all there, just in use.

I don't really see a big problem with a move to IPv6 either - there are four main tripping points and all four of them aren't a problem. Imagine there's no more IPv4 space to request and you are forced to use IPv6 for your new site.

1) Can your IPv6 site get out to the IPv4 internet? Yes - you can have an IPv4 address behind NAT if it comes to it.

2) Can your IPv6 site get out to the IPv6 internet? Yes.

3) Can the IPv6 internet get to your site? Yes.

4) Can the IPv4 internet get to your site? If they have a tunnel broker. That means no. But as IPv6 takes off, ISPs will do this automagically.

So shortly, the only problem with having an IPv6 only site is that some users around the world on slower to adapt ISPs wont be able to get to it ... yet.

The hard parts are device firmware not supporting IPv6, planning and rollout and management and billing systems not supporting IPv6, and that's not something you can fix (except by becoming a consultant) but it's also not something you really care about. So Joe's Cheap Websites Ltd. management page wont let you create IPv6 DNS records. Don't use them. So printers from 1998 wont let you give them IPv6 addresses - use IPv4 on that network, it will still work.
Most Americans who are A: informed enough to know about VATs and B: against their introduction here are concerned that it would be instituted as just another tax here. Resistance would be lessened if there was a credible promise to simplify the rest of the tax code (not eliminated, but lessened), but I don't know who has the moral authority to make such a promise right now, whereas I have a pretty clear idea who has the legal authority to institute a VAT. The motivation for it being discussed in the US is not for it to be a revenue-neutral modification to our tax code.
Alexa data on Scribd is generally pretty accurate, actually. But the time on site measurement is not.

I could share screenshots of our Google Analytics time on site graph, but the hard-core conspiracy theorists would just claim we'd 'shopped them.
Are you having fun? Are you enjoying life? Are you increasingly feeling safe/more comfortable? For me, these questions remind me to enjoy the journey, periodically make a course correction, and make sure I am stashing something for the future while I have the resources.

What is the value of 30? Or 40? Beyond symbolism, don't the first group of questions stay the same?
Really?

The reality is that all the things the author lists are mundane tasks that have to be done over and over again, but provide no value to the world. These take time, and that time is spent not doing something you want to do.

Everyone has different ways of dealing with this. The author is introspective enough to realize that they are a drain on her productivity; they take time, and she feels like she accomplished something valuable after completing them, even though there is no real value in their completion. This makes it difficult for her, mentally, to even start the tasks, because there are so many negatives involved. Laziness is orthogonal.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure she does them anyway, but she just doesn't like to, and chose to write about that dislike. That's not a "mental disorder", it's storytelling.
So does “Compile time memory safety”. The way Rust does it is by restricting the valid program to a much narrower set than valid C programs (at least in safe Rust). We may as well find a way to make a programming language that will guarantee zero deadlocks at compile time without being too restrictive, in the same fashion the “aliasing XOR mutable” solved the memory safety challenge. Maybe not, but nobody knows.

That language will need to be built around this limited set of programs though, and is really unlikely to be retrofitted in Rust, like C++ can't realistically add a borrow checker at this point.
A modern car with cruise control, either adaptive or not, will make the task of keeping to the speed limit a breeze.

The only improvement would be that the car always knew the speed limit for any stretch of road.
That's also on the simplistic side. The main thing that big budgets support is a particular style of design that scales to vast amounts of content - the gameplay is simple and repeatable, typically revolving around a few simple/interchangeable actions, but the environments and characters are greatly varied, and in-depth scripted events and cutscenes are considered the leading additive elements - the prime distinguishing factors. With current game technology, the budget can effectively get as large as desired, and the game's content will become correspondingly more and more polished and epic to accommodate. Technology is very much in a background, supporting role, once you're talking about AAA games.

At the indie end of the scale, budgets and schedules are too fractional to support a content-scalable design well. That doesn't stop indies from trying those, of course(the obvious way to make a new game is to clone an old game and swap out or add more content), but the success is usually better found by taking a specific approach to the gameplay - small, focused designs, rather than sprawling, interchangeable ones.

The first two Fallout games sit at an intermediate stage on this axis, but I actually still found them too big for my own tastes. To me, any game that presents a seemingly endless bounty of content tends to start feeling overwhelming. The last CRPG I really felt comfortable with, and explored every last bit of, was Dark Sun: Shattered Lands. That was a 1993 game, and many other games from around that period(Betrayal at Krondor, Ultima 7) already go past my comfort/scale threshold.
That's the downside to go with the upside. The point is that you don't miss payments, so the APR doesn't matter.
The improvement in the sharpness of the NYTimes logo is astounding. Call me a fanboy, but this kind of improvement in resolution is exciting.

Actually, not really. Sometimes I like people to make suggestions for me.
Wow, victory was in doubt because the motivation to run a prolonged war over nothing wears out. That's why everyone lost in Afghanistan, it was hard to capture but had little worth capturing. Now that money is at stake, victory from a serious war effort is more likely.

I'm betting $10 on a USA victory now.
The thing I don't understand about this is why the US would be prospecting in Afghanistan in the first place. Is there any valid reason why the US should have made this discovery? (Genuine question; I can't think of any reasons.)
I used the terminology in the same way you did.

It's disappointing that you feel the need to pretend this is confusing to you.
The statement of facts is linked to from the press release, and describes generally how the Feds were able to trace the stolen funds (they found a file listing private keys, after gaining access to the suspect's cloud storage)
https://www.justice.gov/opa/press-release/file/1470186/downl...

> The 2017 transfers notwithstanding, the majority of the stolen funds remained in Wallet 1CGA4s from August 2016 until January 31, 2022. On January 31, 2022, law enforcement gained access to Wallet 1CGA4s by decrypting a file saved to LICHTENSTEIN’s cloud storage account, which had been obtained pursuant to a search warrant. The file contained a list of 2,000 virtual currency addresses, along with corresponding private keys.

> ...The connection among the VCE 1 accounts was further confirmed upon reviewing a spreadsheet saved to LICHTENSTEIN’s cloud storage account. The spreadsheet included the log-in information for accounts at various virtual currency exchanges and a notation regarding the status of the accounts

> ...Lichtenstein Email 2 was held at a U.S.-based provider that offered email as well as cloud storage services, among other products. In 2021, agents obtained a copy of the contents of the cloud storage account pursuant to a search warrant. Upon reviewing the contents of the account, agents confirmed that the account was used by LICHTENSTEIN. However, a significant portion of the files were encrypted
This doesn't make sense in my head: I don't think vector displays were ever used for type setting, but I would love to be proven wrong. Do you have anymore information?
A revolving door between government and big tech. Not exactly the kind of thing that warms my heart.
Early on, browsers had UI to block cookies. Sometimes you had to press "yes" to accept a cookie. No participation from websites was needed.

No one ever used it, and over time it got more and more hidden. It's still there if you look for it.
absolutely, I'm a die hard Linux/Unix fan, but the one tool I miss from Microsoft land is Access.
The code is horrible, scale is a dead end, its expensive, clunky ugly and inflexible. But you can go from db schema and data, to forms and reports with unparalleled speed.

That use case is so common.

I haven't built an app on Access for years soley because M$ decided it should not be a part of the office bundle. But I have never found a replacement.

For my own data I use flat files and better bash. but I can't hand that over to Mum and Pop as a solution.
Unlike many (most?) on HN I do believe in the fundamental value proposition of BTC / crypto an have been tirelessly advocating for it throughout the bear market. It isn't a "greater fool" theory of investing for me and many other people. The single best investment over the past 12 years was Bitcoin. At peak price before the last bear of 20k, you still would have doubled your money (at least!) in 3 years.

You can keep shouting ponzi but there is so much more to bitcoin than that.
Anyone have experience with this? I love the idea of it being daemonless.
Yeah cold compiles are slow, but most modern tools keep a hot compiler to re-use and once warm a hot compile of hello world is more like ~200ms. There's a bit of complexity managing these daemons, but that's something that the build tool normaly handles for you transparently
So if not Apple's platform, which platform would be a better pedagogical platform for education in mobile programming?

I am not aware of a mobile OS that exists for an optimal pedagogical experience. Or a set of programming languages and libraries that exist for pedagogically optimal exploration. Your choices are basically Android/Kotlin or Apple/iOS. I do both. It's not obvious to me that either is a great "leading to code" environment. Your comment about Apple docs up to dates was... I find figuring out Google's Android APIs much more difficult and it's a huge flux between what's trending cool and what will actually run on a given device.

As an educator, I would guess that having more consistency betwixt student devices would be a big win. Apple definitely wins here.

What may have decided it though was the student body's more common device. If more students were packing iPhones than droids, then it makes sense for that to be your text.
It feels a little bit like the author combined two different articles. Both are good (I don't mind anti-capitalist rhetoric), but the tone change and continuity break is hard to miss.
I'd also be fine with Kaleidoscope.
I'm biased, because I went there, but I think people need to break down a college education into two parts: (1) the education you receive (the things you know at graduation minus everything you knew as a day 1 freshman) and (2) the people, friends, and connections you've formed.

Part 1 is quickly becoming a commodity for many study topics that are available online, for free or close to it, so it's hard to justify a $200k price tag for something you can teach yourself.

Part 2 is much more difficult to supplant with alternative education. The people I've met while at Stanford have been invaluable to me in starting my career, and I don't even consider myself great at networking. There's just such a huge brain trust there it's hard to even question the value of being there. I'm sure the same can be said of the top 20 schools, however that probably quickly drops off past that.

Yeah you did misinterpret his comment. Also, you can be "desperate" for help so I don't understand what you meant.

What jurisdiction or tool-implementation would consider DDoS prevention a crime? We're talking about mitigating a flood of traffic here.
There's a GUI I need to use twice a year. It contains confusing icons and processes that take multiple clicks with no way to come back. I used to do variations of the same mistakes every time until I wrote the steps in a text file (in other words I translated the graphical actions into text to remember them)
I guessed the force on the landing gear would be able to be measured - Pressure in suspension perhaps.
The fact that you've got a comment on the front page of hacker news about your products lack of awareness, yet you don't say what the product is or link to it explains a lot.

You need to hustle more. This is a huge opportunity to get it in front of hundreds of people.

Edit: I had to search through the page to find a link to your app. You need to make it more obvious.
All US companies will comply with government requests for data, even Google, when a warrant is presented.

German housing is a litle different, as many prefer to rent, so less demand for beeing an owner.
Not that I want to contradict your experience, it is actually very common. But I would truly be interested in knowing the causality relationship between having the feet wet and cold and having a "common cold", that is an infection of the nose/sinuses/throat/lungs.

THANK YOU
Personally, I would not even want to work for this company anymore, even with better terms. Not sure if there would be a point in trying to get some compensation for the last years, though (ie using the "you did some illegal stuff and I know about it" angle)? I probably wouldn't bother and just move on, but that might be where I am too soft.

Edit: reading some of the other comments, with respect to being too soft. Perhaps it would be worth consulting a lawyer, and let them do the dirty work. Being too soft and letting other people take advantage for you could be a good reason for hiring a hard-nosed lawyer.

The danger might be to be taken advantage of by the lawyer, too. But my mother actually once had a lawyer get her a lot of money from her employer, and he said "it is not only important because of the money, but because of you". I was really impressed by that - certainly dragging this nagging feeling around that you are a loser also takes it's toll, so fighting it out might be worth it.
> are the benefits good enough to warrant depending on an additional javascript library for something like this? What happens if people block javascript?

Nothing, in production you'd use the compiled ver. The article should make this clearer though.
1. This is abuse. You know it (otherwise you wouldn't have asked). What you didn't realize is how bad it is. It's VERY bad.

2. Find another job. This boss is hopeless, you can't fix it.

3. If you want to have fun, quit and tell him that you want to reclassify all the 1099 income as salary. He'll be liable for all kinds of social security stuff, he'll be in deep trouble with the other devs... That would be a major threat to him.

I don't particularly recommend an actual lawsuit, because the money you'd gain from it is so small based on your salary anyway. Also be aware that making such a threat would be extremely disruptive to him, as it would sink his business. So he may resort to more illegal schemes to fight back. Therefore it's probably not worth it - move on!

And please blog about it. Other people in your situation need to know about this. Include specific numbers, it helps!
Thanks for the advise, although I disagree with you when you say 'Having ideas is not a skill'. Having idea's is a massive skill and I found this out when working on two great startup. Coders who just code, simply could not think out of the scope of their languages and coding skills, hence they create a great product, but could not think of a single way to monetize it/improve the design aspects of it. I sat back and watched an entire team of very talented coders and PM's battle it out in the board room and yest, no result.

I don't think am brilliant, in fact ATM, the exact opposite, am hitting a very depressive time and don't think much of myself at all, but I do remember that day very clearly and when the arguing stopped I simply said, How about we do this and see how we got on, not one person including the founders, had though of it and not one of them disagreed. Anyone out there who has idea's should consider this a massive asset and I encourage it greatly in all types of work places. Too many thinks are done, because "we've always dont it this way".

Not all idea's are great either and one should know this when throwing idea's to a group of people, accepted criticism is a massive part of being an 'idea person'

Again, thanks for the advise above.
As one of the key early employees who took a pay cut to make things work you really should get stock or stock options.
So... I don't understand.

>An action potential goes from the cell body down the axon to the axon terminals to another cell's dendrites.

How do you figure that doesn't allow backprop?

A neuronal bit is a loop of neurons. Information absolutely can back- propagate. If it couldn't, how does anyone think it'd be at all possible to learn how to get better at anything?

Neuron fires dendrite to axon, secondary neuron fires dendrite to Axon, Axon branches back to previous neuron's dendrites, rinse, repeat, or add more intervening neurons... Trying to disinclude backprop based on the morphology of a single neuron is... Kinda missing the point.

It's all about the level of connection between neurons and how long or whether a signal returns unmodified to the progenitor that effects the stability of the encoded information or behavior. At least to the best I've been able to plausibly model it. Haven't exactly figured out how to shove a bunch of measuring sticks in there to confirm or deny, but I just can't how a uniderectional action potential forwarding element implies lack of backprop in a graph of connections fully capable of developing cycles.
