Thanks for sharing the source, I've also parsed IAM policies with Go and it requires some thought. Your solution is nicer to look at I think. I worked with a guy whose basic philosophy was whatever AWS recommends do the exact opposite and his IAM policies are rats nest of denies and nots. It is usually easier to rewrite them than debug them - looking to see if this might ease the burden.
"The U.K. allowing Swiss shares to trade will do little to overcome the exodus of EU shares after Brexit. The three biggest venues in London that handle European shares saw almost all of this business shift into the EU on the first day of trading after the U.K. completed its exit from the bloc on Dec. 31."

Yeah, it doesn't seem like very good argumentation to cite a source while taking the exact opposite viewpoint from the one substantiated in said source.
First we need to define what computing science is. Computer Science is not software engineering. I agree that there is not much mathematics in software engg, but there is a significant amount of pioneering mathematics in say signals or cryptography or complexity theory. Moreover, even in the systems side of CS, there is a lot of math involved in say distributed systems or networks.

Computer Science is a field FOUNDED on the deepest parts of mathematics, so I find any claim that CS is not a fundamentally mathematical discipline a joke.
Thanks. That makes sense to me.
The film carries within it all that you could get out of it even after developing. You can't get something out that wasn't in in the first place and the whole goal here is to change the output as little as possible. It's fidelity what is appreciated here, not creative license to solarize the film or do something else with it other than to try to extract the information with as little loss as possible.

It's a mostly mechanical process, if you follow the recipe then the predicted outcome is the same, no matter who does the developing.

I meant he's an icon for people clamoring for free speech on private platforms.

In my view the query posed by this conflict is, what is the solution when private platforms hold apparent monopolies over public discourse?

And IMO the answer to this is to encourage competition by lowering barriers to entry for new content providers. Bring back net neutrality with the FCC and FTC's Antitrust should crack down on regional broadband monopolies, content conglomerates, zero rating, etc.

Breaking up Google/Facebook isn't going to provide sufficient competition. We need to ensure there is space for new pastures.
No.

Coronavirus is a generic term for a type of virus.

For example, a few of the more common strains of the common cold, representing perhaps 15% of cases, are coronavirus - but they have no real relation to _the_ coronavirus, as term is typically used.
Is there any evidence that this new 'variant' has any impact to infectiousness or death?

Or is it simply genetic drift?
There was a pre-pub paper on automated translation of manga. I wonder if the same approach could be used in games, assuming you can find a big enough corpus of well-translated games?

>US is one of the, if not the only, develop democratic nation that allows both Mail in voiting and Voting with out ID

Categorically untrue. As a Canadian living in the UK for nearly 20 years. In both the UK and Canada, I can vote without a ID let alone photo ID.

We bring in our poll cards and they let you vote. Then they cross your name and address off a list so you can't come in to vote again. The polling stations coverage is very good and you can only vote in your designated station, which is usually within walkable distance unless you live on a farm.

We also trialed photo ID for voting here in the UK. It was a massive failure.

I can also get a postal ballot with no problems.

Whatever the problem in the US is, it can be fixed without photo ID.
From my layman understanding and someone please chime in here to correct if possible, this has been coming for more than a decade, is almost entirely due to shale, and is unfortunately almost entirely doomed due to the cost of fracking.

“Barring something like a war, US tight oil is essentially done for the time being” is the vibe I’m getting at the moment, and IIRC predates COVID by a year or so.

> However, some sites have a default preselected size for products — for example, a 39 x 27 inch poster size selected by default — which enables users to add a product to the cart without reviewing and selecting the size option at all on the product page. During our eye-tracking study, we observed that several users at AllPosters never even looked at the size drop-down, instead going with whatever size was the default.

Sorta have to question now whether such usability studies show real behavior of people. Because I can't conceive of someone buying a poster and never thinking whether it would fit in the space on the wall. At least if the person isn't drunk.
It isn't meaningless, it just means that users don't consent by default. That's the default state; permission should always be explicit.

Perhaps the header should be made to be easy to apply per domain, so websites can request tracking permissions, but in my opinion the necessity of the header is exactly the point of enabling it by default.

The header is simple: I do not want to be tracked. Do not track me. If you want to track me, ask me to disable the header so I can leave your website.

Honestly, I don't understand why this header wasn't mentioned in the ePrivacy directive the EU passed recently. There's a perfectly good way to communicate intent about tracking options to websites, and it's being blatantly ignored.

Beginner friendliness is something to remember, too. There are half a dozen words you could use to describe pseudoRandom(). Random() is easy for a first year or non-professional to remember.
(It’s Cmd-O, or Cmd-down-arrow.)

Hitting “enter” to open a file makes it too easy to do it accidentally. What if I didn’t mean to start up a huge app like a pro video editor or something, which takes five-ten seconds to start up?

Cmd-down-arrow is pretty darn easy to invoke from the keyboard, but not so easy that you risk opening a file you didn’t mean to.

There are connectors for noSQL databases as well. Or it's surely easier to implement one than to reimplement everything else around the ORM.

A more apt comparison would be someone who doesn't use a car as a way to get from A to B, but still receives for instance mail delivery by motorized vehicle. Even if they wanted to opt out of that for some ideological reason, it's simply not an option.
The CEO said:

> I love Signal and I started MobileCoin to help fund their work.

I don't see how it's a conspiracy theory that this is a backdoor way of funding Signal when the CEO literally says that MobileCoin was created as a way to fund Signal.
It seems that it was somewhat inevitable given the US vs Australian distinction on whether to protect Creativity vs Effort (years ago I investigated this rabbit hole when I had a client who wanted to set up a White Pages clone site by buying the data from someone who had digitised it [with a lot of manual entry!] by low-paid Indians. They were very disappointed when I told them to contact an IP lawyer because it was almost certainly going to get them sued)

I did cry a little at the court's assertion creating the huffman table required "a very great deal of hard work". Gather a corpus of databases you have lying around, count the occurrences of each byte value and apply a <50 line algorithm that has been around since the 1950s and is a pretty standard university assignment. "a very great deal of hard work" indeed.

Presumably division 4A / s47D would now allow the cloning of the data table if decided today -- are you aware of any post-1999 case law?
Hm... I'm more concerned about running user-land scripts and shaders than sprites. If I wanted raw pixel-blits per second I could just use SDL.

Do you have any concrete numbers on compute (ie. scripts)?

Do you support shaders?

eg. How would you do this in DragonRuby? --> https://github.com/keijiro/StableFluids

Ie. a compute buffer that renders a fluid simulation in real time?
> saying this is fair use implies they would have been infringing if not for that factor

Yes, I agree.
You need to define what "smarter" means to you - and also recognise that no-one is a top performer in every field. So step one is to pick an area where you want to improve.

If you don't know where to start then just start anywhere - come up with one or two concrete objectives to work towards. The most important thing is to start. Pick something that looks achievable over 2-3 months and go for it. By the time you have achieved those objectives you will have built up some momentum and also learnt a bit more, so you'll be in a slightly better place to pick your next objectives. As you get better at this you can start picking bigger targets and doing it over longer time frames.

If you're really stuck then try picking an open source project at random and commiting yourself to contributing something to that project in the next two months. That could be programming, it could be documentation, it could be something else. If you're not physically active, then pick some kind of physical challenge too. Completing a 5 kilometre/3 mile run/walk is achievable for most people in that time frame.

The more you do, the more you'll know what to do (and the more you'll realise how much is still undone).

And on a more specific level - if you want to get into a top grad school you will most like have to do well academically. Depending on your course, exams are likely to be a major factor in your grades, so learn how to be good at exams - it is a skill and if you are staying in academia for a while it is one worth learning. What follows is old advice, but not many people seem to follow it. If you're studying a technical subject, then make sure your maths is up to speed. If you are bad at maths it will make any kind of numerical/equation type of exam much harder (and also many things in the real world). During the exam, do three passes through the paper - on the first pass just read it, look for easy questions. On the second just answer stuff that you know reasonably well, don't waste time on difficult stuff. On the third pass go back to the questions you couldn't do and do as much as you can. Even if you can't answer the question write down stuff that you think is relevant, you might pick up a mark or two here and there (but don't go overboard writing down irrelevant stuff, your marker won't thank you for that). And practice, practice, practice. Get hold of old exam papers and do them (timed). Get hold of the answers to the old exams if you can and study them. Often the questions are set by the same person each year and often they aren't very imaginative at coming up with new variations.
It would be better to set up this resource as a wiki or on some sort of knowledge base platform rather than the digg/reddit style of news site. Good tutorials are always relevant, you don't want them scrolling down past the bottom of the page.

If you do setup a wiki, I would be more than happy to contribute tutorials on various topics. I have been using Mongo for a while now, and agree that the documentation needs work and more resources are needed for new users - so if there is a place where we could put that, count me in
If you read the article he linked, it seems like the author is talking about decades - he references his 25th college reunion and speaks as if it was several years ago.

His point was that because the smart guys are on Wall St, they're not actually running the businesses and institutions that Wall St is investing in. So the companies that back all these financial assets are now being run by incompetent doofuses, while the people who used to make sure everything ran smoothly are now shuffling money from one dysfunctional company to another.

There's a lot of truth to this - Warren Buffett has been saying the same thing for about 15 years. It used to be that the top grads in each class would become professors, or entrepreneurs, or public servants, and would use their intelligence to invent tangible things that make people's lives better. Now the top grads usually go into finance, and they still invent things, but the things they invent are increasingly opaque ways to slice up a declining pool of real assets.

Assuming that you're a reasonably intelligent guy, you're actually good evidence for the point the article is making. If you didn't work at a hedge fund, perhaps you'd be working for Google, or performing basic research, or founding the companies of tomorrow. He's talking entirely about opportunity cost: the opportunity cost of having the smart people in the world allocating capital is that they aren't out in the world producing capital.
I'd be super-interested in hearing what that's like from a hacker point-of-view. Is it a big team? Are you doing standard IT work there or far-out, complex coding? If you're a hacker there, what's the skinny on fun problems in the day-to-day work?
Wow, very clean UI.

This site is great..easy to use and very convenient for those that don't want spend a lot of time posting stuff for sale. Craigslist better watch out!
You got a lot of good answers here, but just so you know: you really only have to remember that open(2) is a syscall and fopen(3) is a library call. That's the important distinction.
It was much more difficult before they changed the scoring in the early 90s, but you're right that it really doesn't mean anything at that level. I didn't even know AP was around back then, but obviously nobody cares about a 5 on BC Calc or whatever. Gates understands that you have speak in terms more people can understand.
We are talking about the Linux port, which isn't really the same functionality that's already running on Solaris/FreeBSD. I've been running ZFS on FreeBSD for a while and it works pretty ok, but even that isn't the same as the functionality on Solaris.

The FAQ even clearly states that they only support ZVOL operations. Kinda like mdadm and lvm2, but without POSIX FS compability. Anyhow, my point is that this isn't "production quality" either.

But you are right of course in that the on disk format for BTRFS hasn't stabilized yet, last time I checked, and that it is a project in its childhood.
I have a LLC and fill out a Schedule C simply because at the end of the day there's very little profit to claim (I reinvest most of the money).

I've read some entrepreneurs claim that over $50,000 in Net Income should warrant conversion to a C-Corp but that's definitely not set in stone.

Of course, I don't know your situation (i.e. are you making any money yet?), so I can't comment fully. But if you're not wanting to pay for a tax accountant then sticking with a schedule C seems to make more sense in the interim.
Ah, Turkey. The country that gets really, really mad at you if you do nasty things like insult their founder, or point out unpleasant historical facts such as the Armenian genocide.

I wonder how many generations it will take before they loosen up and learn to take justified criticism?
Perhaps. Though fitting can have different definitions.

Especially if your company is getting slightly bigger and not everyone interacts with everyone else on a daily basis.
> Secondly, it is google that is asked to pay taxes, not youtube.

No, the linked Turkish article says that they informed Google Turkey about the taxes Youtube owes since Google is the parent company. And I don't think you can tax the parent company if the subsidiary fails to pay taxes.
As someone contributing to a new OS, these are hard problems, for sure. At the same time, I personally see a pretty big future where the web enables lots of new systems work.

See, even though Joe Blow may use Windows, he still uses Linux when he Googles. The web allows people to not have to worry about what OS the servers are running... so I think there's lots of room for innovation on the OS front, but on the server side of the cloud.

Interferes with the pump & mind-muscle connection, and makes it more likely that you're limited by your cardio (or neural fatigue, or secondary muscles) as opposed to the target muscles.
Twitch is technically a public company (Amazon), but I don't think there's any difference in this case.
They are deciding how they view each user and their actions. Shouldn't I also be expected to have the same privilege?

If I want to see it like a legal process there is nothing they can say, specially after this, to make me change my outlook in the same way they ban people for violating their way of thinking and give them no appeal not even the time of day.
Incorrect. According to the article NTT experimented with neutrons (simulated cosmic rays) in a lab.

NTT systematically set out to be able to distinguish these different kinds of error, and you go ahead and ignore that effort.
> or if the perpetrator was not a user when they committed the acts.

if this becomes more widespread, this is one of the most chilling aspects. I don't think it takes much imagination at all for anyone to consider a future where something you said today that is totally acceptable by today's standards keeps you from participating in some aspect of society* in 10 to 20 years time. Think about how many public figures have been canceled for things they did that were socially acceptable 10 to 20 years ago. Now imagine tooling being developed that scans your entire social media existence for the past 10 to 20 years and then throws an automated exception saying that you can't register. Then imagine that you have no recourse because there is no due process and practically non-existent Google quality customer service.

* any sufficiently pervasive social network is a significant aspect of society
Sure. But you have just proven with my post that you can push such content to the bottom of the thread. Why don't you simply do the same with those comments? If its to much work for you personally, maybe add something like a flag button but call it irrelevant button and posts that get too many irrelevant flags get pushed down to the bottom.
>A more long-term, better solution would be to redesign infrastructure either to keep cyclists separate from motor traffic

That's what I'd propose. Carving up the already scarce roadways to try and squeeze in a "safe" lane for cyclists is going to make it far more dangerous for both bikes and cars. Bike lanes that run above the street would be far safer.
Nah, it's money motivated. The less controversy there is with Twitch streamers, the more easily they can negotiate ad deals and make money.
This seems like a notion lots of people have, but I'm not sure it's true. What is the evidence that online fitness is any more fraught with contradictory advice than, say, online finance, or online self-help?
In a future society, local Walmart stores will be the local distribution partner of Amazon.

Oh sure, you might not see that in our lifetime, but think about it, each company is lacking in what the other possesses...

Amazon has every product under the sun, but those products must be shipped to people.

Walmart has less products in its local stores, but those products in those local stores are the most popular ones, and those stores are usually a short drive away, just a hop, skip and a jump -- away from the houses of most Americans.

It would make sense, for a future society, having the resources to do so, to consolidate these two ideas, these two infrastructures, into one...

While at it, why not put regional post offices and other delivery service hubs near the local Walmarts?

Oh sure, we can't do this in this day and age because separate corporations are the owners of those resources, and because there would be a whole bunch of government red tape and legal considerations, and that's if someone had the money to do it, etc., etc.

But, a future society -- could consolidate all of that infrastructure...

Make it clean, make it neat (architectural buildings) and consolidate these functions into the center of future pre-planned cities built around them...

A future society could do it...
Pity HN doesn't support polls, I would loved to have seen a number on the people who love/hate this design.
These are neat vehicles. Unfortunately not available in the US. Well, I think there might be a Jeep on the same platform.
So which do you think makes more sense: Police are not allowed to arrest people, or everyone is allowed to arrest?
Curious why there isn't a Founders Series on this car -- full prepayment (on a loaded config) for first-in-line position, which helps them with cashflow (a major issue for Tesls).

Anecdotal, but I'm in my thirties and the first thing I did after watching the trailer was pre-ordering the Valve Index at where I live (Japan).

Various countries besides the US (often other "Anglo" countries) don't require any identification to get a SIM card, while as you mentioned some countries require identification and sometimes even more steps like physical address verification. In my experience as a tourist, these additional steps are sometimes unnecessarily complex and are often somewhat of a hassle.

An argument can be made that this hassle is worth it for security concerns (which is what they often tend to be sold as) but personally I find it less reasonable for preventing against SIM swap hacks when there are many alternatives to SMS 2FA.
You do know how G Wagon, the ultimate $ symbol, looks like, right?
