I reject the claim anything I wrote is a "putdown". The harshest word I used is 'shallow' and the meanest claim "after a teenage diet of scifi", more than justified when the only work cited is _Flatland_.

The government is the best place to have data because regulation limit sharing significantly within government. Bureaucracy hates risk. In most cases, government entities cannot mix data from DMV and say Medicaid.

The risk is the bigger data aggregators, as they mix this data and add value. The data is sold on the cheap. Adtech and data aggregation is almost completely deregulated, and these companies add “value”, which is risk to you as an individual.
This is neat but plain wrong. xD
The premise AND the conclusion (the suggested solution).
Yeah, some people are just amazing jerks. :-)

Sorry about that.

Really. I would love to see your source for that.

Yes. The argument seems absurd on the face of it. Do people who jump off bridges... commit suicide due to something they don't like about bridges?
What happens if you pass '\0' as the character to remove?
Fantastic advice, I'll work on getting that rolled into the next one.
Yea, Win32s had many limitations, and was a joke compared to OS/2 2.0. I mentioned before that PX00307 pretty much ignored them.
Spelling depends on various things. If it's followed by another number, then its singular: quatre-vingt-trois. Otherwise, it's plural, quatre-vingts. Unless it's an ordinal / noun, J'habite au quatre-vingt rue de la Paix.

Pronunciation is the same, unless there is a liaison: elle a quatre-vingts ans = there will be a 'z' sound between vingts and ans.

FYI, I'm a native speaker and I had to look the spelling part up to be sure. There are other rules with other exceptions for cent, mille, million, milliard.
But not a feature a substantial number of paying customers care about.
For corporate Man in the middle security products, it's a managed device where they put a root certificate on the device.
Yes, they certainly exist. But if I needed to change any of them, I've done so long enough ago that I've forgotten doing it.
This is similar perhaps to viewing the distribution of condoms in high school as wrong. Wouldn't that encourage teens to have sex? But when you look at the data, you see that kids who go to high schools with access to condoms have lower rates of teenage pregnancy and STDs. So, did the condoms encourage sex? Hard to say. Did the condoms reduce the problems that are associated with sex? Yes.

Similarly, do safe injection sites encourage drug use? No, because drug use is going to happen regardless of the presence of safe injection sites. It does, however, make it much easier to transition drug addicts into programs that can help them. The data is there.

So bottom line; if you don't like having dirty needles about and open drug use, support safe injection sites. Likewise, if you don't like teenagers getting pregnant or getting STDs, then support access to sex ed and condoms.

There's reviews, seller ratings, and often test results from some EU lab or via store bought tests. It's kinda like amazon and could probably be gamed but it's probably less likely whatever you're buying will be deadly.
Microsoft Fluent Design System was introduced in 2017.

The homepage is useless, but the real docs are decent
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/design/

Sadly, Microsoft still does not provide guidance or necessary APIs to desktop app developers (e.g. those primarily using .NET, Win32, WPF, WinForms, etc) to implement Fluent Design elements/controls.

I'm hopeful we'll see a change here, but fear it'll happen too late, that is, before another design language is introduced.
I don't know about AliExpress, but the Rolex clones definitely use branding, marketing and other IP from the manufacturer.

Sometimes, the packaging is an exact match.

No kidding. Some of the knockoffs are so good, that heavy-duty watchmakers get fooled. I’m told they are pretty much indistinguishable, unless you open the watch.

Apple had a problem with apps on the App Store, where knockoff vendors would get their crappy apps approved, then would grab screenshots from big-name apps, and replace their pathetic screngrabs with the big-name ones, so people thought they were buying the big-name apps.

That's why Apple locked down the App Store, so you can't update screengrabs and previews, anymore.
depends on how you use your car. Lots of the cost benefits will be swallowed up by the higher price tag. Also, for any long distance driving, you will need to hire an ICE. I think its an objective fact that electric cars still have a very long way to catch up.
I had an interesting experience introducing more types to a Python script. 1500 lines long, and rotting because everyone was too scared to refactor it. (It had no unit tests because it was eminently hard to unit test).

It operated on two similar, but differently structured JSON files that described versions, deployments etc. One for libs and one for apps.

My initial goal was to use Pydantic to replace that untyped dict being used everywhere with a known type, simply to make the code easier to read.

So in my first pass, I simply added types to functions. Then I started replacing usages of dicts direct from JSON with Pydantic classes.

Which showed me that there were many functions that expected to operate on both libs and services, but some that operated only on one or the other, e.g., using dict keys that the other lib would never have.

But the real kicker was when I was approaching the end of this, thanks to the types, I could now see that no code paths for the service data actually led to it being persisted out into JSON again.

Any such path had been deleted in the past, but again, everyone was too scared to be bolder in their refactoring.

So adding types to the code made it far easier to reason about, and now I can delete about 500 lines in confidence.

That said, types aren't really needed for a 20 line Python script to "automate a common task without continually referring to the Bash docs".
At least for the time being it's still possible to keep TVs off the internet and bypass this garbage. I've got a 2020 Sony and have never seen an ad on it.

I'm expecting these days are numbered though; some combination of ethernet-over-HDMI, Amazon Sidewalk, built-in 5G antennas, or just straight up refusing to work without a network connection feels like it's just a couple years away.
Did “Dumb” TVs really need defending? Seems like if anything we should be convinced instead why Smart TVs are a good idea.
> Incredibly, Samsung even recommends that you run virus and malware checking on your TV regularly.

Given its constant ambient speech scanning, Samsung also recommends that you leave the room if you want to have a private conversation. This makes me very, very angry.
Sure but every criminal in the world has access to it. If it was inherently superior at money laundering, money laundering would have very quickly shifted to crypto. But it turns out they use it just about as much relatively as anything else.
This is basically what the Infinite Noise[1] project does.

Speed is limited by the speed of a gain stage and a comparator, and can run in excess of 100 Mbit/second per second with high performance components. Cheap solutions with CMOS quad op-amps can run at 8Mbit/second.

This implementation uses Keccak-1600 with cryptographically secure reseeding of more than 400 bits of entropy at a time, overcoming a trickle in/out problem present in the GNU/Linux /dev/random system. Users who need many megabytes per second of data for use in cryptography can set the outputMultiplier as high as they like, which causes Keccak to generate outputMultiplier*256 bits per reseeding by the Infinite Noise TRNG.

I wouldn't say they capture all the value, they return a huge chunk of it to customers, often through lower prices. But, I agree that shrinking a $20B market to a $2B market where you control $1B in revenues at much lower costs allows you to pay employees well.
Do you have any thoughts on SCOTUSblog's take on it, that it revolves around a question of whether the standard of review should depend on whether the USPTO considered a particular piece of evidence? --> http://www.scotusblog.com/2011/04/court-takes-up-standard-of...

Their take is that Microsoft is only asking for the standard to be lowered with regard to prior art that was not considered by the USPTO. Microsoft argues that the case for deference is greatly weakened if the USPTO never evaluated the specific prior art in question; but that deference should still be given w.r.t. anything that the USPTO considered.

IBM's amicus brief opposes that approach, because they argue it'll create a mess if the standard of review depends on details of a specific patent's administrative record, and because it will encourage patent filers to just dump huge reams of potential prior-art into the USPTO record, to make sure that anything that could possibly be found will count as having been already considered by the USPTO.
yup there was a bandwidth quota from AppEngine. I activated billing and it should work now
Oh I got that impression too, I was just being literal for the sake of discussion :)
Rails Playground has been good to me.
Cellular automata, which includes Conway's Game of Life, is impressive because of the complexity that arises from simplicity. Starting from just a few simple rules and starting arrangements, structures can appear that you would never have expected.

Some people believe that our universe could be a type of cellular automata itself.

There are some interesting connections between our universe and the type of cellular automata like Conway's Game of Life. It is possible to predict events in the future by looking at the big picture. Various levels and hierarchies of structures are formed in Conway's Game of Life (e.g. gliders and glider guns) that seem to obey their own rules. However, these macro rules are nowhere close to the original micro rules of the simulation. While we can look at these macro rules to make certain predictions, the only way we can determine every cell's state in the future is by letting the simulation play out one generation at a time.
You don't have to put all your eggs in one basket. You could accept payment in dollars and bitcoins, and exchange the bitcoins for dollars the day you receive it. If the bitcoin market suddenly crashes, you'd only lose the amount you hadn't managed to exchange for dollars.
That's meta. Yes. I think will just do something where you can select from a bunch of different services to add. Will take a quick stab at it today :).

Perhaps add hackernews as well as an option?
Very nice!

The collision detection on the shots seems a bit loose --especially on the larger objects it often seems like shots pass through if they aren't centered enough. Also, the sparks from damaging-but-not-destroying objects need to be more visible. As they are, many hits feel like misses because the feedback is difficult to notice.
I'd be surprised if this hasn't been done before, but I hope they get the execution right! Does anyone know how previous attempts have fared?
The leak supposedly also includes an upgraded version of The Witcher 3 they've been working on, scheduled to be released later this year. [1]

Although it's supposed to be a free update for anyone who bought it before, it's not only past releases that might be affected if that's the case.

The hedge funds vs. common people narrative is ridiculous. There were hedge funds on every side of the trade.

I do agree that it would have been unethical (or at least pretty dubious) for the company to sell the stock knowing it’s massively overvalued.

I've always wanted to explore up/down/voting in a 'chain of trust' kind of way so your project looks interesting.

Personally, I would not use a system like this unless I could vote by category. E.g. I may not trust someone on gardening tips even when I place their taste in music very highly and I would enjoy seeing both topics equally.
Absolutely - we should do this everywhere! We should mandate in fact. Make sure that babies, the elderly, everyone have to get say, 'RNA' vaccines. Brilliant idea! What could go wrong? Nothing.
Why? What is the benefit atom provides to the user?
I've been told that not all PS2-USB converters work. But many cheap ones do, so just get from a place with a good return policy.

Beware that the Model M draws more power than USB is allowed to supply. I've never heard of this being a problem in the real world, but I always plug my model M into a powered hub to ensure there is plenty of power available.
Value goes up in dollar terms, which is the same as price going up.
Hi. I checked salary and bonus for TSMC engineers in Taiwan. Here is what I found:

Engineer (1.3M NTD -> 46.5K USD): https://www.glassdoor.com.hk/Salary/TSMC-Engineer-Taiwan-Sal...

Senior Engineer (2.0M NTD -> 71.5K USD): https://www.glassdoor.com.hk/Salary/TSMC-Senior-Engineer-Tai...

Unless I misunderstood your comment, you seem to be hinting that these pay packages are very high. They don't look very competitive when compared to other high income countries.

I cannot prove it, but my sense about TSMC is that their most senior researchers, sales people, and operations people are paid silly money. The remaining (below them) are paid good, but not insane, wages. That said, most of the TSMC R&D labs and fabs are in cheap locations, like Hsinchu and Tainan, so these pay packages are still quite good.
I believe that EA only publishes Angry Birds and does not own it as the article states. How that effects the revenue stream is beyond me.
Something tells me it cut fairly deeply for Obama to extend all the tax-cuts, but you have to look at the larger picture. The U.S. economy has suffered a severe and historic financial fall. To recover from that it's theoretically more favorable to provide citizens with tax cuts than not. Add to that the hand Obama was dealt at the mid-term elections which tilted the scales of congress in the Republican favor, and you see much more pressure to compromise in order to govern for progress of the country rather than draw lines in the sand for gridlock.

I'm not saying Obama is Jesus in the flesh, and that he never gets anything wrong. At the same time, I don't think it's helpful for people to sit back and criticize with broad strokes. Have you called your representatives about the 9/11 responders bill? Or net neutrality? Have we, the tech experts that hang out on sites like HN, taken concrete actions to make our voice heard on things like net neutrality, or do we just wait until the verdicts are nearly in from politicians who don't understand the ramifications as well as we do, and then complain when it's not what we want?
This seems backwards to me. Shouldn't the "extended" description be the one hidden from the user's title bar, not the short one?
There are definitely many low income kids who thrive at Grid iron football. Lots of poor Latin American kids play baseball.

The sports that require alot of money to play are mainly ways for upper class white kids to avoid having to compete against the black kids and still feel like they are good athletes. At least in the US.
IANAL.

A C-corp makes more sense at a certain scale and when targeting specific types of investors, but an LLC can accept investment from new members. The terms would ordinarily be incorporated into an operating agreement.

LLC's can operate at a large scale...Chrysler is one.
How so? I missed the part where I wrote about swiss water.

"I take it that this was not a criminal prosecution that might result in actual jail time."

Criminal summary offense (dog off leash) which carries the possibility of up to 90 days in jail. Instead of charging the off leash offense, they wrote the charge for a dangerous dog. This incorrect charge carried with it pretrial restrictions only found under that charge (dog could not leave our property, etc).

"Part of the "thick skin" i mentioned above is a pragmatism re the "rights" of individuals in minor cases."

There is no such exception for ignoring rights simply because they feel it's pragmatic.

If they feel minor case isn't worth the effort to properly pursue, then it shouldn't be worth their time to pursue it at all. When you screw over enough people, there won't be any left to support the system.

"Give every drunk driving charge a full jury trial and the economy would stop as every able body would spend more time sitting in the jury box than working."

Um... they do have that right. The states fixed this, not by desecrating their rights, but by creating alternative and less severe programs like ARD.

"Impeach ever cop with less-than-perfect testimony in a traffic case and you won't have any cops left to testify in murder cases."

We aren't talking about less than perfect. We're talking about lies, or consistently making false claims (unreliable). For example, if the cop tells me he's going to amend the charge because he made a mistake 10 minutes before court, and then tells the judge he's amending it because he's cutting us a break... that's pretty egregious that he wants to hide his mistake to influence the court.
I don't rent for the urban lifestyle. I rent because it gives me tremendous flexibility when it comes to where to work. If I bought a house somewhere, I would be stuck in that place for close to ten years. Sure I could do remote work, but that is still not as common-place as regular in-office work, so I would be shooting myself in the foot in terms of job prospects and therefore earning potential.

Home ownership was a no-brainer back when people got a job out of high school or college and worked at that job for decades, got regular raises, then retired with a pension. Nowadays though? Job hopping is the only reliable way of increasing one's income, and "right to work" is very common which means you can lose your job one day just because someone decided they no longer want you.

Not to mention the economic downturns. What did we see during the most recent recession? People lost their jobs first, then they lost their houses because they couldn't pay mortgage anymore. Barely six years have passed and yet people are already losing their minds again about home ownership.

Does home ownership have its advantages? Absolutely. Is it the right choice for everyone? Hell no.
Maybe slightly unrelated, but does anyone have any idea why Eric Schmidt would join Chainlink as its advisor?

It seems you never have been abroad. Go out and explore the world yourself.

The is not for fun facts. It is history and where people live.

Nobody wants one time zone, because nobody wants to wake up at 8pm and go to work and such things. That is the reason why we have time zones. You know what, computers are pretty good in crunching numbers. So it is an easy task for them to do time shifts based on time zones. My iPhone is pretty good with it. I didn't had to adjust anything, when I visited Nepal and India for the last 5 years.

The same is with languages. Just try to learn another human language and not a computer language. It is much more joy.

The problem with these things only people have, which never experienced the world, their diversity, their history. There are so much things to discover about the world and yourself while experiencing the world.
>Recipes explicitly cannot be copyrighted

Yes; however, as the link you provide explains if more than just a simple listing of ingredients (i.e. description, pictures, ect...) the same can be awarded copyright. A copyright on a cook book is still the industry standard, because a single filing/fee covers an entire book of recipes.

>I've recently been down the patent research path myself and to me it is still not clear what creates a patentable non-obvious combination of technologies, and what is simply not patentable. In many cases it seems based on the patent reviewer's subjectivity.

100%, much like trademark and copyright much is left to the subjectivity of the reviewer. I will say this about the patent office (compared to trademarks), the reviewers are generally very well educated in their respective fields (engineering, medicine, ect...). The only other way to gain more insight into obviousness standard is reading case law/precedent.
This article basically tells us to follow these two links

Configure your router with DHCP and instead of using the upstream DNS server from your ISP configure in the servers from UnblockUS. Additionally create a firewall rule or null static route that denies all network connectivity to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

Under the above configuration the chromecast will obtain a IP address and the DNS resolver from the router. Chromecast devices provide no way to configure DNS servers and by default does not trust the responses from your router, instead it trusts and uses Google DNS servers, it's only when network connectivity is blocked does the chromecast "degrade" to using the DNS server provided by the router.

If your router is good enough I highly suggest creating two networks by aliasing your uplink, then applying a firewall rule to the uplink that blocks the DNS servers and then tagging by MAC address all devices such as TV/Consoles etc.

That way for day to day computering you can use your standard resolvers but traffic is from entertainment network/devices is forced to go out via your tagged uplink - which blocks google DNS and uses UnblockUS for resolution.

Better security practice as it means you can be very specific as to what devices should be allowed to be man in the middled/traffic rewritten by UnblockUS. MITM your TV? who cares, MITM your workstation - yeah not a good idea.

I saw this picture on reddit a while ago, where there was a public bucket seat that you could use to cross a river. I saw this a couple years ago, but I would very much like to see it in person.
