I like this. After it rolls out, can we quit with those silly GPDR cookie messages? That always seemed like "a social solution for a technical problem", with all the jurisdictional and enforcement problems you would expect from one political body trying to legislate behavior worldwide.

Don't want to be tracked? It's your browser after all, just stop handing the trackers data!
It seems like that's saying each client has to implement all the algorithms in use? So, no magic here, but a choice among standardized algorithms?

I'm literally just describing rulings of the california appeals courts, as described in the Berkeley legal journal article referenced in my post and TFA. Khosla lost a bunch of intermediate court rulings, and the Supreme Court denied cert with respect to collateral proceedings involving the Coastal Commission.

But in two california appellate court wins, he knocked out both bases on which Friends of Martins Beach was claiming the right to public access of his beach. What's left?
I came to a conclusion based on what Google said. I explained how I came to that conclusion in detail too. You makes it seems like my position is wrong, can you details that a bit more?

You may have misunderstood the last paragraph, where I say that I don't know if I can trust the employees yet either, I wasn't talking about Google, that was explained in the first part of the comment.
The idea was that globalization would push the West to ‘creative’ jobs. Instead we got bullshit jobs. (And this is even more prevalent here in europe)
Not true. DCA beats holding onto cash and waiting for “the bottom,” but if you have a lump sum to invest, investing it all immediately beats DCA about 2/3 of the time. Hence the saying “time in the market beats timing the market.”

I heard dark mode might not actually help in terms of being easier on the eyes?
I think it would be fine if the title just said "95% of our users prefer dark mode" rather than trying to generalize it to all people.
I have 5. 1 Dell Inspironfrom 2006 with a broken gpu. Then another one from 2007 that's still working. 1 asus from 2012 that's still working. Another one from 2015 working too. And my current notebook is also an Asus from 2017.
In case you didn’t know, Julia does in fact have arbitrary indexing!

I see nothing wrong with the XML. At least in its basic form. I use it extensively (often manual editing with the help of notepad++ / notepadqq) with no problem. I am not a dedicated web developer either.
I write better non-trivial code when I get up and get away from the screen for a while. Go do something else to get my mind off it. Even sleep on it. Then the insights creep in. Hammering away at a hard problem usually makes a big mess. Sometimes three quarters of my time is spent understanding the requirements, negotiating the solution, researching, talking through the design.
This isn't really an adequate threat model today though, where everyone has laptops. Having a workstation stolen for most us is actually extremely likely - probably more likely then someone trying to attack our credentials.

In this case though, full-disk encryption and TPM usage is the mitigation - provided the disk goes dead when anyone short of a nation-state tries to manipulate it, you're good.

Typing braces is basically a gesture. You hold the shift key with left pinky, and roll right ring finger pinky over open and close brace, then tap back arrow and return to get you inside the block. End is three distinct key presses.

Also braces have a nice symmetry, which is also convenient for parsers and tooling to count opens and closes.

I also think "end" is just more visually noisy. Braces are a symbol, so it's easy to filter them out when you're looking at code, but a trail of "end"s takes up more real-estate than is semantically justified.
Easy fix- keep marketers away from the innards of the product. If you can’t, try to set a “rule” that if they want to add another iframe/script/whatever, they have to remove another one.
Hardly scientific, but still interesting.
I don't know why this guy keeps getting posted to HN - or all the upvotes.

Just about every anti-Apple post, even the ones targeting valid points, has been full of logic flaws/ranting.
Then again, though the battles are extremely short it's the most exhilarating battle I've ever had in an online game

Carriers/Dreadnoughts vs. a fleet of non-capital ships. This can go on for a very long time. If you're on the non-capital side, you can die quickly, but you'll still be listening in to an exciting event.
It isn't just imprecise -- it's completely the opposite of reality.

It's as logical as saying food is a commodity item because ultimately you eat food. Or cars are a commodity item because you use them to drive from a to b. Only an utter moron would use it in such a context.
It looks like debt because it's measured relative to the world / companies around you, which moves forward through the cutting edge continuously. The more you stay comfortable, the further behind current you get and the more you need to do to pay off that gap.

Doesn't seem like a great analogy to me either, because you can presumably skip learning things and jump right to the cutting edge if you want, evading the middle bits without incurring any wrath from a creditor for doing so.
I think this has to do with the inherent unreliability of GUIs. "Did I click the right button?" "did I click the /active/ part of the right button?" etc... on a command line I'm perfectly happy to type the command, press enter, and to get no response until it's done. I know I typed the right command, I can see it right there.

but people are pretty unreliable too, so you might have a point that the GUI is a better metaphor for interacting with another person than the CLI.
How is this possible? I was very impressed but could guess at how it worked with the first several answers/questions listed, but this one blew my mind:

“Classic candy bar that’s a female Supreme Court justice” — “What is Baby Ruth Ginsburg?” [Of course, Google now knows the answer :) ]

Can someone explain how it can do that? Can it solve cryptics too (way harder than crosswords)?

Amazing...
If he is like me: bit of both.
A group looking for "cash only" gigs should not refer to themselves as Hackers. It's not a bad idea, just a poor name choice that doesn't fit your mission.
cashing in coupons is not eating for 1$ per day.
Laying off 2800(!!!) people sounds like they have too many people around. What are these people working on? I mean, Peloton just offers a couple of devices, and the content does not seem to be too advanced. Do you really need 2800+ people to do all of that?
> He refuses to trust that loving God, and all that this entails, leaves any room for enjoying life

Everyone has their own version of God. For some it's simply Love or for others it's some hyper-intelligent being responsible for the big bang and creation. My personal theory is that it's not a bearded man in the sky, but nature's own intelligence, you know, the way nature seems intelligently designed, and in a way, perfect.

I will also add: God doesn't really care about humanity, with all its suffering and division. If God really cared, we would be living in a utopia, free of suffering. But then, what's the point? If we're all doped up on serotonin, or in a permanent MDMA like trance, what's the goal then? We need suffering IMHO to grow and prosper. Trees only grow because of wind and resistance.
It's nothing to do with trust but everything to do with redundancy.
Not a very good example. There's a pretty good argument Tylenol is too dangerous to be an OTC drug. There are no Tylenol cancer cases because they all died of liver failure.

The only expectations are my own... Not too different from any other project in that way. But I will say that I think it's a good idea to keep a loose & playful grip on any given programming language... They're all good or even great in this way or that, so I don't mind having a lot of favorites.
Have fun trying to inspect Javascript code after it has gone through Webpack, Babel or anything else that may have been used for transpiling. Not saying it's impossible but it's still really annoying to do.

To add on to that, when there's an update, you usually can't diff it properly because large parts of the transpiled Javascript may change because of a one line change in the actual source code.

This is all assuming the website isn't actively trying to make it difficult for you to analyze their code.

At least if it's open source, you can inspect the source code then verify that the output is the same.
This is a district level (or perhaps state level) decision. I live in San Jose and have two elementary age kids in the public school system. Like the top commenter noted, this district is hugely variable in terms of socio-economic demographics, and the district policy prevents them from starting any online system that doesn't work for all students. Being a fairly poor district, not all kids have computers at home, and the schools mostly don't issue devices, either. As a result, teachers who are trying to provide any sort of continuity are entirely on their own, and in violation of policy.

We've been seeing a lot of Zoom + Classdojo + Google Classroom ... and for the younger kids, things like Achieve 3000, multiplication.com, etc., that they were already using in school.
Yes, they do, but not because developers like them. They are infamous for their super strong targeting of C-level for sales.
Last week was vacation for me, planned a long time ago. I ditched my plans and watched the kids while my wife worked from home, secluded upstairs.

When the weather was crap we turned to TV but at the end of the day the kids (and myself) were just zombies. With toddlers it's hard to stop ("No, one more!") and it's hard to get going again after 2 hrs of cartoons.

I find it best to do as much as you can without screens and only when you're totally out of ideas or they start getting tired toward the end of the day, you turn to TV to zone out for the rest of the evening.
> With a virtually complete halt of the American economy about to begin, we should enter this phase with full awareness that it wasn't the only choice available to us.

Followed by ... no other choices except the implication less quarantine. And that based on quotes from experts, without sources, narrowly focused on death rates.

Nevermind consequences to overwhelming the health care system or long term damage to survivors.
>Seriously, if you take a screenshot of that app and go around showing it to your friends, do you think their first impression is going to be, oh, it's a picture frame with widgets?

Actually, yes, especially if they're less tech-savvy (part of the assumption underlying this whole discussion is that Apple is trying to protect users from getting confused). It doesn't look like you can interact with it much - you certainly can't put icons on it and use it to launch programs, or have it run in the background and become visible when you close everything else. But that's not even really my point.

>The "desktop" is a metaphor. You don't have an actual, literal desktop on your computer.

Thanks, I managed to get that far on my own. My point is that I still don't see anywhere in the agreements that you can't make an app that looks, if you squint hard enough, like a desktop.

This isn't really going anywhere, and I don't want to spam this thread more than I already have. If you want to continue this discussion, there's some contact info in my profile.
Spreading FUD. Spacex has the most advanced satellite management and deorbiting systems ever made. Fully approved by the fcc.
I wrote the original version of the Nomensa accessible media player mentioned in this post and it's a shame the open source version wasn't kept updated as I think there's real value in an adaptable, accessible media player for video and audio.

YouTube certainly seem to have made some improvements since I originally looked at their player so hopefully UK Gov is able to provide the kind of digital experience they're famous for. Nothing but respect for the incredible work of the digital UK Gov team.
> The article didn't say if the increase applied equally to both electron mobility and hole mobility.

Electron mobility is not high in silicon, but it has never been a "blocker" before. In fact, the utilisation of strained silicon has gone down from 40nm in later nodes.

Silicon however has truly terrible hole mobility, and the wider industry has just started to realise that they have lost many years to fruitless pursuit of high electron mobility, when the real blocker has always been a pFET.

It was very prudent of TSMC to quietly continue pFET RnD, despite industry's fixation of HEMTs and 3-5 devices.

p.s. 5N is a COAG process from what they have just said.
I expect things to get much worst before it gets better, but I do believe some industry will profit of the situation, like food delivery, some will adapt like services switching to remote ans some will strugle and eventualy die.
Because the purpose of FS and GS was not specifically defined at the hardware level, they're segment registers but not specific purpose.

And I guess the complete lack of dedicated purpose of FS and GS is why x64 keeps them available.
Good find. There's some legit vintage hardware there.
But really the switchover to brighter LEDs over sodium lamps is somewhat recent.
I don't want to use neither Bing nor Yandex either, and AFAIK DDG isn't a proper search engine, but takes all of their results from those three.
With the recent "collapse" of Qwant, what am I supposed to use now?
I'll bite, how are OCaml and Haskell "dynamic and scripted"? OCaml and Haskell are about as far from Tcl as it's possible to get.

Do you mean the recent GHC developments that let you defer typechecking to runtime? That seems a little too new, to attribute it to Haskell like that.
It even had a stylus and a docking keyboard! ;)
One feature I like for enterprise languages is preventing developers from writing too clever/magic/brittle code. This usually boils down to compile-time type checking, good module system, and fewer rather than more language features. Nothing like digging into some old code to do a bugfix and finding out it's a Ruby app where some cowboys decided to write their own magic framework that intercepts field assignments, has heavily data driven control flow, or a Scala app written by a code golfer. Perl suffers from that problem as well, which is too bad given how robust it has proven over the years.
There are some interesting ways around government crypto restrictions.
Ciphersaber [1] is designed so that you can memorize how to write a program to
implement it. Bruce Schneier proposed Solitaire, [2] which is designed to be
carried out with playing cards rather than on a computer. (Later, Paul Crowley
discovered some weaknesses [3] in Solitaire.) Diceware [4] is a method of
generating secure passphrases with (you guessed it) regular dice.

I'm finding it a little hard to read your intent here. But that is secondary anyhow, because in the game of internet comments, what you did comes across as menacing and a move in the online callout/shaming direction. That's not allowed on HN, so please don't do it again.
The (well-heeled) car enthusiasts have nothing good to say about the engine sounds that BMW plays through the car's speakers.

Not a chance. However, the traffic value of .co is huge. If you look at .CM as an example... potential for money making is very high. Hotels.co, yes please!
I'm sure the companies you've mentioned paid a solid price for those domain names.

They can't raise it too high otherwise, you might not buy, but no, they're not dumb enough to keep it low either.
My understanding was that if their domain was registered before your company name was trademarked, they have a right to that domain. I'll check out that link, though.
Wow is that ever a terrible infographic.
If you have a trademark, you can file a domain name dispute and try and claim it that way.

Thank you very much for the insights. Your style of writing, and I suspect thinking, resonates very strongly with me. If you wrote a book, I would buy it. I have a few more questions, and answers to them would not go unappreciated.

Would you still recommend Emotional Intelligence? In regards to #4, well, would you feel comfortable describing this in more detail? For example, in which ways is it easier or more difficult to be socially competent when you hate or don't hate yourself, and how have you managed to feel more confident about yourself? Finally, if you could recall the anecdote about the kindergarten kids, that'd be useful.

The reason I ask these questions is because, like you said, it's amazing how much more natural it is to emulate and learn from people you actually like and whom you would like to be like. Granted, I barely know you, but in terms of people on the internet that respond intelligently to questions, you rank pretty high.
Not any more. These days it is easier and faster for me to drive 500 miles from Boston to Toronto then to fly. Wonder if I could take a train...
Not sure about the tool specifically, but I know that tickets to Charlotte/Atlanta from MIA/FLL are often more expensive than tickets to New York from MIA/FLL, routes which almost always have a layover in Atlanta or Charlotte.

Ah, the good ol' days when all we needed was netcat and vi, none of this fancy graphics hoohah and kids these days don't even know how to spell!! Mind rot, I tell ya! Autocomplete!!! Bah! Use a printed dictionary, you lazy brats!! In my day a web browser supported 3 kinds of images: JPG, GIF, and BITMAP, that was all we needed! ... and you had to draw it yourself with colored pencils, we were all artists ... Now it takes 3 damn hours to recompile my whole friggin' OS and this cruft and nonsense and doohickies clogging up my disk drive ... no one knows how this stuff works anymore!!! It's all gonna fall on your head, and then you'll be sorry!
At least they didn't fly in heavily armed police to shut it down like the USA did to Mega.
For such maintenance operations, you could support a mode where a barebones OS is copied into RAM. Then you can remove any SSD you want.
Someone who wants to rent it out for a profit. Someone who wants to redevelop it as a business. The value of real estate would probably take a big hit with a tax hike like the one proposed as owners move to liquidate so there would be a glut of properties at first but it would eventually find a price for each that is acceptable to buyers. Haven't you ever wondered how beautiful, historic residences in prime urban locations got turned into apartments and condos?
If our current connectionist understanding of the brain is correct, then we should be able to recover a personality from a very detailed CT scan, and maybe in the future to revive it. (Personally, i d prefer that in a solar-powered ball that is shot out of the solar system in high velocity)
This is a lie of omission:

> Dr. Fauci acknowledged that he had slowly but deliberately been moving the goal posts... partly on his gut feeling that the country is finally ready to hear what he really thinks.

From wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lie):

> Lying by omission, also known as a continuing misrepresentation or quote mining, occurs when an important fact is left out in order to foster a misconception. Lying by omission includes the failure to correct pre-existing misconceptions.

Dr. Fauci believed that the real range was somewhere between 70 to 90 percent as you pointed out; however, he gave lower estimates to the public because he didn't believe the public was "ready to hear what he really thinks". So not only was he failing to correct pre-existing misconceptions, but he was actively spreading misconceptions about how much of the population he believed needed to be vaccinated. As such, he was lying by omission.

How do you convert the current job "market" into an actual market?
Legislation to mandate hiring transparency? Some sort of collective bargaining to even out the power discrepancy in wage setting?

At the same time avoiding making everyone a gig worker, as would be so seductive and disastrous due to lack of personal stability?
I don't give a fuck about promotion. If Yahoo gave me a decent salary I'd maintain it forever. If I want more money I don't wait for promotions, I quit and find a better job. Jobs are just a way to funnel money into my investment portfolio which is the real money maker here.

Other users vouched for that comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31521548), so now we have two copies of it in the thread—the original, plus yours—and a split discussion, which is a pain to merge.
