Agreed. People forget that in addition to the nominal cost of a new tracking system ($120k PER PLANE in the article, not including control center cost), just the weight alone costs about $3k/year for each 1kg added to the plane. Add the yearly communication service, maintainance, depreciation costs to this, and we're soon gonna be paying $3k/plane ticket.

In contrast, since MH370, Inmarsat has changed the time period for handshakes with their terminals from one hour to 15 minutes. Cost: $0.
Medical research should really, really not be publicly funded. Say goodbye to anything remotely controversial. From life extension, to genetic engineering, to abortion and birth control, etc.

In their databases that depend on time, they repeat that they use an external source of time.

It seems like some of their designs are constrained around always non negative deltas between events, making things append only so their trees or hash tables are only balanced once when written to disk.
I disagree. If I see 25-40 lines of something that LOOKS like it should be simple, it's tempting to replace it with the four line version. A comment which says, "You might think this would be better as {{4 lines}}, but it is too slow... because this/that/etc" can be VERY helpful, so that one doesn't reproduce the problems (and the time fixing) that caused the initial un-simplification in the first place.
agreed. Im a big board game fan and know of the board game "Android" and it didn't cross my mind.
Generally speaking the US does not mix single-family residences (1-4 units) with commercial. However with multi-family residences (> 4 units) mixed use is the norm.

The driving force is the fact that most single family homes are owner occupied, while multi-family housing is not (that is to say, while condos and coops may be owned, the building itself is not)
This leap second business seems like a pretty dreadful idea. Considering timezones are way off-base all around the world as it is[1], it seems a lot simpler to just let the clocks drift for a while. One less weird thing in our operating systems, much less opportunity for bugs in all kinds of code that deal with times.

The set of people who really care about solar time "down to the second" is smaller than the set of people who'll be put out by 23:59:59 not being immediately followed by 00:00:00, and most of those people probably want sub-second accuracy anyway. Astronomers complaining about the clock time being wrong is exactly the same as farmers complaining about daylight savings.

Because (comparing DO to AWS) it is much cheaper for many use cases, there is good tooling and documentation, and the user experience is dramatically better. I'm curious - on what did you base your assumptions?
Great name. The word “Taler” derives from the “Joachimsthaler Guldengroschen” currency (Guilder groschen of St. Joachin's Valley), or “Thaler” for short. The coin was introduced in 1518 in the Holy Roman Empire and many currencies in Europe became named after the Thaler. The Dutch brought their “leeuwendaler” (lit. lion daler) coin to New Netherlands (now New York), lending its name to the US Dollar. I presume Taler was used for this project to match modern German orthography and to avoid confusion with the English ‘th’ ‹θ› sound.

My current company is on prem. The reason is cost. Our workload requires lots of big machines, and is fairly inelastic. When we do need more machines, we know months ahead of time.

We recently just started the process of refreshing all the hardware. We looked at cloud again just to cover our bases. It is still cheaper to lease the hardware and pay for colo and a couple of people to manage the hardware, then to pay for the cloud.
So if Elsevier gets rid of network licenses like the one Aaron Swartz abused and the next generation of activists is forced to abuse other kinds of licenses, that means they should just roll over and give up? Really?

Nuts!

Look at it this way: would you rather A. lose the war and pay Elsevier forever and ever, B. donate your credentials to scihub and get slapped with a lifetime Elsevier ban and big Aaron Swartz suicide level lawsuit, or C. use a sketchy library computer one day and a few months later have to contact Elsevier support to get your account reset because the PDFs won't download?

I don't know about you, but A and B seem really bad to me and C seems much less bad.
I guess because the more it looks and feels like a public service, the more it feels like a tax. Or the more it feels like a non-profit, the more it feels like charity.

Each of those concepts has had a long time to become embedded, but the kind of globalised, "net-good" non-profit that still gives you as an individual benefits, has barely even reached the corners of HN yet (would assume there's people here who haven't yet discovered LetsEncrypt, for example).

The fact that they answered a fairly ridiculous question (by HN-standards) wether swapping Intel for AMD on the same Motherboard is possible, but did npt address reasonable questions about their choosing of Intel over AMD, makes me suspicious of them being in bed with Intel somehow. It's just like with the AMD versions of Lenovo/HP/Dell premium laptops, which are always somehow inexplicably crippled (low-res display? why?!) compared to the Intel configurations.

When people ask why there's so many rooting against Intel, I don't say it's because they stagnated the market. It's specifically because long-known practices like these.

But hopefully it's not the case here.
I suppose to see what others thought about it. I specifically mentioned in the parent comment that I was on the fence and that "This might just be a hit piece by the same companies who are losing money". I did mention the proof in the article, which is real. I'll admit my initial judgement of the article was off, but not entirely wrong given that I never said I wholly agreed with it. Or maybe I'm moving goalposts or whatever. Anyway, I thank you for pointing out what I did not realize.

>You can't negate "They don't accuse Sci-Hub of actually doing anything!" with "They accused hackers of Doing Evil, but admittedly they don't attribute this to Sci-Hub."

I am not negating it, I am admitting that I am wrong.

I do. They are actively hostile to the user experience. I will criticise any update to software that deliberately makes the user experience worse.

Please don't do this here. From the site guidelines: When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. E.g. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

>MIT has looked at their data and saw that subject test scores are not a key differentiator between students who do well at MIT and students who do not.

Objection. Assumes Facts Not In Evidence.

Following the OP link reveals no such analysis, only a statement SAT IIs are being suddenly being ignored because "We believe this decision will improve access for students applying to MIT." That's coded language, 100% typical for their woke, clown-world admissions functionaries.

>maybe their actual numbers support their decision?

Maybe we should be verifying the actual numbers instead of swallowing whatever just-so story MIT plops out to justify the woke thing they wanted to do anyway.

After reviewing other HN articles from MIT admissions, such as “Picture yourself as a stereotypical male” (which includes the blatantly racist gem "A Good Night’s Sleep, A Hearty Breakfast, and Being White"), along with "Black Lives Matter...until they don't", and the Epstein fiasco, it becomes very clear MIT doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt.
Web apps are better because they are as much device-independent as apps can get nowadays.

Service Workers are the background service for web apps, but since users don't want those services to drain the battery unnecessarily, you have to use the Push API to trigger those background jobs.

So yes, if the app is the active app, you can do polling, WebSockets and all the like and have no problem. Background services are (rightfully) limited for web apps, but not even providing the Push API kills a lot of valid use cases. Firefox and Chrome both provide that API.
Some people do think the indigenous peoples that originally lived there should have exclusive rights.
That would be awesome but I think you meant a "radial" pleat.
i guess how I take things personally vs how an org takes it, but I don't think it would be productive to berate someone for mistakes made while they're trying to fix/respond to it. At that point what's done is done and all that matters is handling it.

It'd just add to the cognitive load and noise.

But you're right, people also forget to come back and be like "let's talk" - at the same time - given how relatively embarrassing this is for a government (and how economy-critical it is) I'm definite this conversation will be had.
The working theory is that they had a practical attack on RC4, which made up a significant percentage of SSL traffic back then.

This is a technology problem and it will not be fixed by shaming offenders (GoGo probably didn't have any evil intentions at all).

Because it will answer if we're alone or not in the Universe, and maybe explain a bit more of how we reached this place, how life evolves in other places than Earth and who knows what other questions can open the fact of answering that question...

For a very long time I was wondering when will we ever see a funny thread on HN, and here we are:-)
>The president has always talked the talk on net neutrality and access. But now he’s walking the walk.

He can't walk very far without Congress. It's still just talk.

Lately Obama's been writing a lot of checks to his base that he's not going to be able to cash. I'm not sure what the point is, but it seems to be a deliberate strategy.
The browser still has to store that uncompressed empty area though, so it would use more memory and probably take slightly longer to paint on a slow device.
Censorship driving people to violence in this case is much like a girl being pretty driving a goon to rape. The cause of the act in both cases is the perpetrators warped sense of ownership. Specifically ownership of other's thoughts, body, and time. They would feel entitled to that ownership whether met with resistence or not. In this case censorship seems reasonable otherwise you end up tacitly fostering the perpetrators view of ownership with your submission.

technology workers complaining about recruiters is analogous to young, attractive people complaining about people hitting on them constantly. it sets off the same b.s. detectors in my brain.

to me, it's really just a childish and transparent way of bragging. even reasonable people slip into these modes when they are faced with an abundance of opportunity, most of which they don't want or feel are beneath them.
I've always been impressed that Circus-Circus in Reno would cash $25 chips six years after I had originally won them. I wonder if the US Govt Tracks the money supply that is tied up in Poker Chips from casinos...
Yeah, but who gets to decide what the cutoff for "porn" is?

Somebody, using consensual guidelines. You are perhaps mistaking the UK for America. It isn't a battle between constitutional rights and puritanical religous nuts. People are generally more moderate, and as such any introduced change is likely to remain moderate. (Not that the UK hasn't got its own major problems).

Many people rely on ratings for guidance, they make life a lot easier. For games they do admittedly have less effect, but that is perhaps to do with inertia in society, and the starting point of initial feelings towards games as unrealistic (which in some cases is not so true any more).

If it won't accomplish anything then I don't really see what the objection is. In reality it could well be quite effective. Obviously teenage boys of a certain disposition will circumvent any controls, via private networking, encrypted email attachments ... etc. This has always been true and people aren't that bothered about it. What is more half the fun is in the act of circumvention.
When I visited the site, I immediately got greeted with a login/signup modal dialog, without being able to look around and see what it's all about. (No, the little intro on the same dialog is not nearly enough)

That led to me instantly closing the browser tab.

Unless you are savant you are not going to remember most of what you have read couple of months or years later however you are likely to have a vague recollection of the general gist o the book.

You are also not going to use most of the things you have read/learned in the book in real life. Unless you are only reading self-help type of books.
This is really something for a separate discussion, but a major cause for the poverty of the regions you mentioned have more to do with social and political troubles than economic issues. All of the money in the world donated to a region where warlords take it all will not make the intended recipients any better off.

Also, there is another argument that claims direct aid actually creates dependency, and development stalls because there is no motive to progress.

None of those arguments alone should be a reason to restrict your charitable giving, but keep in mind that there are situations in where even the most noble organizations will be helpless to improve a region.

>>>> I've been editing a tutorial one of my coworkers wrote that targets new Python users on Windows. From my findings, the grass is not greener.

I've been using WinPython for a few years. It's the closest thing to "just works" that I've found, and non-programming colleagues have been able to install it successfully.

Because it works almost like an isolated "container," it's also possible to test your code on a clean install of WinPython to make sure it will run on someone else's computer before you share it.

I don't know the technical difference between WinPython and a true container, but you can have multiple WinPython installs on one machine, and they don't interfere with one another, or with a pre-existing mainstream Python installation on the same PC. So you can share your stuff without worrying about screwing up someone else's stuff.
I can see how you get there, but strongly disagree with that assessment of BotNS.

It’s far from an endorsement of torture and abuse. Master Gurloes is a deeply broken man. Severian’s childhood trauma colors the entire story, especially his relationships with women. Part of Severian’s maturation throughout the books is his slow abandonment of his life and identity as a torturer.

To get anything out of BotNS you need to separate yourself from Severian’s point of view, and Wolfe makes this deliberately difficult. There’s what Severian believes, there’s what he wants us to believe, and there’s what “really” happened. Between those three poles there’s usually a lot of empty space.
Maybe that'll be time to bring in AlphaProofReductor or AlphaProofCanonizer. I'm finding this worry a bit strange. I'm guessing tools evolve together depending on need, so as long as humans want to know 'why and how' there'll be some effort in reduction?
I think proper sandboxing on a traditional Unix is hard enough that ~nobody does it right; you can't let any apps run as the user if you want to prevent them from snooping on each others' files, but the user needs to be able to control all of them.

I don't know of a justification for removing /etc/resolv.conf, but I guess "applications' networking should be under the control of the user" is sorta necessary; I think it'd make more sense to do it with network namespaces or iptables rules or something, but /shrug.
It's short, and the "why" behind names doesn't matter.
Yes.

Streisand is just a bundle of ansible playbooks so it can easily be deployed on any server that meets the requirements: Debian 7 or similar.

It also has a nice menu to deploy to Amazon, Linode, Digital Ocean and Rackspace without extra effort.
I do all of this at the start of the day. But after unblocking myself multiple times, I just don't have the juice to make sure I'm not asking a stupid question.
There are efforts at an international level to stifle religious expression as well. This is championed by Islamic states to prevent any criticism of Islam. This is a growing global threat to freedom of expression and it often finds its way into online censorship.

I am not trying to look for good things.

We need to look at what we can improve. Of course things have improved, but not uniformly across all domains and many things have gotten worse.

If we keep patting ourselves on back, these too will degrade. Using hindsight to definitively say what has gotten worse is how we improve including the things you are mentioning.

I kind of think of progress as navigation on a complex multidimensional domain space filled with lots of local optima. To not consult hindsight (gradient) is a bad strategy. Similarly, to not explore is to stay at the same spot. Sometimes, it is important to roll back and go to the old days and try to explore in another direction.
Your own stance does not seem completely devoid of judeo-christian rhetoric either, though, to put it mildly.
Also note from that thread: SolarWinds gave him $0 for finding and reporting this. That in itself is completely irresponsible and a reflection of the companies systemic issues, which can’t be blamed on one intern.

What an amazing guide, as well as the others. I think these are the best Vim guides I've ever read. Vim user for years.
Hilarious. I’m good friends with some one from Springfield who does not want to live in middle America. She has made Springfield sound like a completely different place. Looking at some online maps, it is indeed a typical suburban city.
I realize this is going to sound like I'm being hyperbolic to continue the argument, but I've literally never seen a Huawei phone in my life. It's hard for me to imagine them becoming the Apple of anything when I don't know anybody who has one (at least to my knowledge).

But you have a point. I have blind spots. I could be wrong. Ultimately this is just my opinion.
One of the first PCB designs I did was with some proprietary software like this that was tied to a fabrication company. It was the easiest route at the time to getting something "done", since all the proper PCB design packages required a lot more work.

Yes it worked, but for the second project I wanted to do some things outside of their capabilities and other PCB fab houses were fractions of the price. So I had to basically start from scratch again and learn KiCad, wishing I had just gone that route from the start and not wasted time and money.

Now I'm pretty "OK" with KiCad and just finished a large board with about 1000 components that I sent to a fab house for pick-and-place assembly. I was able to shop the design around and pick the fab house I wanted to work with after talking with them directly and sending them industry-standard GERBER files generated directly from KiCad. Excellent.

So I guess my long-winded advice is to bite the bullet and learn a real PCB design program.

As time passes though, especially on an actual open battlefield, raw 'kill everything that moves" becomes more of a potential too.

However?

My logic was predicated upon cost, and if implemented, cost reduction due to all those body bags. You think Nixon and Kennedy were purely motivated by the cost of US soldiers, when they wanted out of Vietnam?

They sent those troops there to begin with!

No. They cared about the PR issues, and re-election.
