Even I can. GitHub and Gists are all accessible from where I am.
That's not how it works, though. We can study any set of axioms we want. Mathematics often study "multiple incompatible worlds". For example, euclidean space where parallel lines never meet, and projective space, where parallel lines do meet at infinity. This is a general theme of math; we can study different sets of "beliefs" when we don't know which one is the "correct belief".

Thus, we come out on top, since we know what happens in all possible worlds.
We’ve been happy with Super Simple Songs, and they play on Echo, Apple Music, too, for a less visually stimulating experience.
This seems interesting. I couldn't find anything on Collage, other than a note in a German SINIX manual [1] to the extent that this was a GUI used by Siemens before they switched to X Windows and OSF/Motif.

Does anyone know, if there is any documentation out there, or maybe even screenshots?

We're going to reach a point in this society when you call someone a racist (deserved or not) and they just say "pffft... whatever..." and go happily about their business totally unaffected. Social Justice is having its moment now and this is what they're doing with their time in the spotlight. Somehow the same people who put lunatics in charge of their own movement now want to install similar lunatics in every place they can. This will stop someday and it will stop hard.

If you like, you can think of it as a kind of placebo effect. Which, you may be able to imagine, can get really strong under the influence of psychedelics.

Disclaimer: I've never used Ayahuasca, but I did organise a few shroom trips, where I paid a lot of attention to the "set & setting". Compared to other times, it makes a lot of difference.

Reminds me of Lyft's thing from a couple of months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25000950

I would love to get answers to questions like "which users have access to resource X, including implicitly through one or more assume-role jumps, across these N accounts, including stuff like iam:PassRole, even including tag-based policies?". Add a time dimension too, like "who had access to X between Jun and Aug 2020?", and you'd have a winner. Would such queries be possible here?

Photo nerd - the bit of gear they use to turn a 400mm lens into an 800mm lens is called a 2x teleconverter. You get double the focal length for a reduction of two stops in the available aperture and generally a loss of optical resolution.
Who knows what this decision will look like ten years from now - one can imagine Zuckerberg looking like a pretty plausible choice.

However, I agree that the trend you're talking about definitely exists. The most egregious recent example is Rudy Giuliani instead of Osama bin Laden in 2001, a decision which looks even stranger today than it did nine years ago.
For experienced programmers, the clearest introduction to Common Lisp is the first few chapters of "Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming: Case Studies in Common Lisp" by Peter Norvig. His writing style is exceptional. Not quite so clear, but also not too dense, is "ANSI Common Lisp" by Paul Graham. Peter Seibel's "Practical Common Lisp" is dense (words per page), but is good for a "now I know a little Lisp, what can I do with it" book to read second. Winston's "Lisp (3rd)" goes from an extremely basic intro to heavy-duty AI without building up to it. But you can get it cheap, so it is worth it for a beginning reference.

As a sidenote, when you first look into Lisp, you hear a lot of kvetching and mocking about parentheses. And indeed, there is a point in the learning curve where you get confused about the proper numbers of parentheses for certain kinds of expressions (so-called 'special forms'). And you see Lisp apologists countering that it's not the parentheses that matter; rather the indentation is what helps you understand the code.

In my experience, what happens is that as you become familiar with these 'special forms', you learn to recognize the visual patterns of indentation and parentheses that are particular to each of these expressions. And once you write a number of them yourself, grokking the code of others is no problem. And as in all languages, a decent editor and syntax coloring is helpful.
Wikileaks only really hit the mainstream news less than a month ago. They've obviously been putting this piece together for longer than that. A runner-up article, on the other hand, can be pasted together pretty quickly.

I wouldn't assume malice just yet.
It seems to suggest to me that you're getting ready to fire back, in a legal manner. Getting ready to call their bluff, as it were.
AIM and ICQ are not "social networks". I can't ever imagine my parents using AIM or ICQ ever. But they are on facebook. Good luck getting them switched over to another service.

Facebook has 500+ mil users. Most of them, non techies.

Friendster actually proves my point...they shot themselves in the foot. Facebook exists because of mismanagement by Friendster.

Are you sure it's not the other way around? There is a well known business strategy where Chinese entrepreneurs look at promising kickstarter projects and launch production in Shenzen and have something on the market even before the original campaign is over.
Oh of course! Thanks. The 24-bit address space changed operating system designs to use a LONG to store physical memory addresses, which I guess confused my memory of the whole thing.

It had 'real mode' which was the ordinary 8086 addressing mode (capable of 20-bit addressing to 1MB) and 'protected mode' which we called 'imaginary mode' since nobody used it.

Ah, time to grow some chicory in your yard (or just collect it "by the roadside" (Wikipedia)) and make your own fake coffee.
The problem wasn't just Taube's penchant for taking extremely selective evidence and his own hunches over the vast majority of the available research evidence.

The problem is many of the very scientists that Taubes referenced were furious about him misrepresenting their work, and taking extremely selective quotations to make it sound like they were supporting theories that they did not actually believe were true.

>"Taubes is a scientist"

The claim that Taubes is a scientist is unsupported by anything I've ever read about him, or his current wikipedia file. What science has he actually done, as opposed to reported on?

RE calories in / calories out:
Here's article might interest you. It details a nutritionist's "twinkie diet". He dropped 27 lbs in two months, shed body fat and improved various blood markers while eating 1800 calories a day, mostly from junkies. It's not a peer reviewed study, but it was conducted by a professor of nutrition at the university of Kansas. http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/11/08/twinkie.diet.professor/...
I am working to get some owners of great domains to buy into the idea, but I've just started the process. I definitely plan to focus on just a few in the beginning and hopefully have some success with them before trying to scale.
agreed, that point stood out to me too.

also his note about not needing every iOS-device owner. And his footnote illustrates just how huge the iOS market is:

"If “only” 1% of current iOS-device owners bought Instapaper, I’d make about $5 million. I’d love to have 1% of the market"
Camera 360 started doing this and I uinstalled it. If I knew an app was going to have this I would never install it in the first place.

Why? For me it gave the sensation of an additional app installed along with the app I wanted and this additional app was malware. I had to dig around to figure out what app had started doing this.
Glossy like the new MBPs? No, they don't. The glossy MBPs have a sheet of glass and my current gen MBA doesn't have that.

Of course, I would recommend trying it out for yourself at an Apple Store before deciding anything. Even if it wasn't glossy you still might not like the screen.
It's currently in beta. Help me make it better with your suggestions.
If you're keen on Cambodia even a newly-arrived white person could get a good hotel room, with wifi (and television) in Battambang or Phnom Penh for $5 per night for a couple of days a couple of years back, so I'm sure ~$200ish per month is do-able even for beginners if they're keen on the street food.

If you're keen on Asia mainly to minimise costs, Thailand probably isn't the best place to start.
hey y'all!

I had some time between other projects at my day job so I built Hakn, an iOS HN reader app that uses HN's new Firebase API. This was also my opportunity to try out Swift on a shipping app.

HN's Firebase API is currently read-only, so Hakn doesn't yet support login, submitting, upvoting, etc. Currently Hakn is just a light and easy reader app, good for lurkers like myself :)

Hakn is free, so please give it a try and let me know what you think. I'll be bug fixing and tinkering with it as time allows.

Cheers!
For transpacific flights, first class (or business class, more often) is used by people who would otherwise be on business jets within the US. TBH, first class SQ Suites are nicer than any but the best business jets (I've never been on a really luxury jet like a 777 VIP, but I'd take SQ Suites over the G-II or Falcons I've been on). You're basically looking at $250k r/t SF-Beijing to take a Global Express or something. "Normal" business jets won't even get to Hawaii. I think things are different for transatlantic (esp if you're willing to stop somewhere like Canada or Ireland).

Business jets make actual sense when you're doing a multi-stop itinerary, lots of last-minute changes, and flying into secondary and tertiary airports. They make a lot less sense for hub to hub intercontinental flights.

You could solve all the security issues of intercepting a supersonic aircraft by having a failsafe override (optionally self-destruct). No need to build a Mach 5 interceptor when you can do it at c.
Wonderful regarding learning using LLVM? I mean, isn't the heavy lifting (most interesting part?) done by LLVM, so you're just using it?

I haven't read it, that's why I'm asking this.
I like the functionality, but I'm not keen on the title of this post or the fact that it's an app only.

If you like the app, though, you might want to check out Astral (https://astralapp.com). Extremely similar functionality, but Astral runs in your browser.

Now are they? NASA itself now outsourcing its LEO capacity to SpaceX. And SpaceX is much more focused than government agencies thanks to virtue of having a single leader with an idea, as opposed to bureaucracy and CYA-ism. Of course, space exploration is not a one-man endeavour, but I wouldn't dismiss the impact SpaceX already has and likely will have in the future - they're empowering those big space agencies.

That would be so cool. While you're walking away from your parking space, you get a satellite view or an AR view where you can drop defenses. I think the satellite view would be harder since you'd have to pick your parking spot so the UI can place your top down car picture and then place obstacles and defenses
The water effects in "Sea of Thieves" are extraordinary.

Generally, in markets that were part bearish (like the 80s), I made very good returns, between 10 % and 30 % above the index. As a very simple rule, after 2 days of a falling index, sell for exactly 1 day. This works mainly because there are enough consecutive 3 days of a falling index. However, if the market trend is overwhelmingly bullish, that does not work anymore, because there are not enough triplets of falling numbers. If it was possible to differentiate the two, I guess it would be possible to reliably beat the index. But of course that is the tricky part ... You cannot be better then the index in rising markets, but you could be better in falling markets.

On the other hand, Barcelona has suffered from tourism for a long time. Barceloneta (neighborhood right next to the beach) is a famous example of this where families who lived there for a very long time been driven out of their neighborhood, solely because of AirBnb and their like. Hotels were already regulated but when AirBnb appeared, regular folks started kicking people by raising the rents, then converting it to short-term rentals.

So, while AirBnb is both good and bad, I prefer to value native peoples ability to live in their places, rather than helping the rental market, that was just already stretched when AirBnb arrived.

A majority of social justice is mainstream progressivism. $15/hr min wage, higher taxes on the 1%, etc. But there is a subset of the left which has gone nuts. This article is a prefect example of it. And the fringe left doesn't have to mirror QAnon, but if they're both espousing their own "truths" without the scrutiny of facts, then they're both wrong.

Totally agree with you on your statement "There is no QAnon equivalent to diversity and inclusion policy/training in industry". The private sector is a lot more grounded than academia. Mostly for the better, sometimes for the worse.

> If someone is dangerous enough to be on the No Fly List why would the US government allow them to fly? To the US? Even once?

Extend this logic just a millimeter further and you should understand how awful the no fly list truly is. If we have evidence a person is too dangerous to fly, and we're willing to let everyone know that we know they're dangerous, why wouldn't we just take them into custody and charge them with a crime? Put them in prison, or get them to roll on someone involved in their conspiracy?

But of course, there's approximately never any evidence.
As a Samsung employee, I've been continuously being disappointed by the company culture. Recently, the company introduced a new policy that prohibits phone usage while walking inside the company building, due to "safety concerns". Samsung employed ~20 safety guards to supervise and monitor phone usage throughout the campus and if you're caught by them, you will be warned. If you are caughted twice, your team lead will be notifed of the incident. If you are caught three times or more, you are required to watch an educational video and submit a written apology. I could not believe such a policy could emerge from the very company that makes smartphones. Samsung even had a TV commercial highlighting phone usage on the road!

Under such a restrictive and top-down culture like this, I believe nothing interesting can emerge. I can only expect the downfall of the company. Nowadays I'm trying to work as little as possible and desperately searching for other jobs.
It can be set to send calls with an id of any phone - and it's old news - and it's been fixed
Yes the kid 'outs' her, however she also digs her own grave and makes some points that can easily be used to justify book piracy.

e.g.

“Pirated handbags? Yes, I do buy them,” she said. “I feel that the genuine Prada bags have such an inflated price.”

and

“You have a pirated MP3 collection,” Jo added, helpfully. “We copied the first 1500 songs from one place and 300 from another.”

“Yes,” admitted Ragbe. “There were a lot of things on the iPod.”
Maybe this is a European problem?

I think so. Some Europeans don't like to be thrown into the "Europe" pot ("but we're so diverse!") but it seems we're pretty united on this point of entrepreneurial un-culture. All across the continent, business plans, consulting companies, etc. are mistaken for entrepreneurialism. Everywhere I look, governments think the solution is throwing ever more complex grant programmes and sponsored bullshit events at the problem. The established players and the lawyers egg them on of course, as they're only the ones who can afford to benefit from all this stuff.

Personally, I think the best thing the government could do is to get the hell out of my face. I'm discriminated against (in Austria) for healthcare compared to the employed and the unemployed. (I have to pay for insurance and social security whether I made any money that quarter or not; I then have to pay 20% of my healthcare bills. Employees pay a percentage of their monthly salary and nothing else; of course they also get paid sick leave) I pay more income tax (employee bonuses are taxed at 6% - my lowest tax rate is 36.5%; it's tradition, and in some cases law, for employees to get 2 months' salary as a bonus). I'm forced into paid membership of useless interest groups which are just extensions of the political parties.

Sure, I could try to apply for grants. Except for startups the main expense is the cost of living of founders (most of which turns out to be taxes...). And guess what, that's not considered a valid expense for tax relief. Plus, the grant wouldn't cover the lawyers' fees anyway, let alone the amount of time I'd spend chasing after it.

Hiring people is super difficult and very expensive for startups. Most seem to employ their staff as perpetual freelancers because the rules (and taxes) are so arcane. I'd guess that doesn't exactly make them attractive to potential hires, so you're losing out on talent.

It's better in the UK to a degree. (shame about the weather...) The bureaucracy is much less (there's a reason UK Limited Companies are popular in the rest of the EU). Still, at my (UK) university, we still had all the bullshit business plan competitions. But they seem to have those at Harvard, too...
I don't think Schneier recommends a hint. That's only good if your password sucks to begin with.

And it's not the 'writing down' part that's a security risk, it's the 'storing in an insecure location' that is. Password in wallet, fine. Password post-it stuck to monitor, not fine.
I once had a polygraph interviewer tell me this exact same thing and "not to worry about small shit like piracy."

You can not be serious about all possible research trends. CNN is one of possibilities that you can spend time on. The faster you get the key ideas the faster you can move on to something else, or dig deeper as you propose.

"...and you won't need to build any features on top of it."

Right. It seems to me that most coding "best practices" are designed to help you maintain and build on your code. The guy who hacked together the animations would be in a world of hurt if his boss came in and said "we need the pool of blood to empty in case A, and in case B, it needs to be water, and in case C, it needs to be a cuddly bunny instead of a skull. Also the animation speed should vary depending on the time of day." This would be even worse if 6 months had passed since the original code was written.

Suddenly, refactoring for flexibility and clarity would sound really, really smart.

Now, if I'm writing a piece of "throwaway" code - say, a script that I'm going to run once to accomplish something, then never use again - I'd agree with "do what works and don't worry how the code looks." But generally, if your code matters to anyone at all, it will need to be tweaked and maintained.
hmm. My take on it was that he was trying to be "thought provoking" and that it came out a bit heavy handed.
