Exposure != delivery points.

Twitter has audience.
Didn’t thousands of people get arrested for BLM though?
15 people have been arrested for Capitol Hill.

> “Trump 2020, something something”

People can vote for and support Trump and have their opinions, even if they are unpopular. But Capitol Hill is a sacred place and people did breach it. Many of which had neo nazi insignia on their clothes.
If this isn’t an act of extremism, then what is?
You have got to be kidding. It’s not “suddenly” sedition and terrorism. People went into the Capitol with the stated goal of overturning an election, effectively overthrowing the government. That is sedition!

Seriously, I sympathize with what you’ve gone through. I’m not trying to minimize the damage that was done in downtown Portland, but it’s not even close to the same thing.
This is my conclusion as well. The standards we hold must hold for everyone.

But it is becoming hard to deny that the standards seem very conditional on whether you agree with the motives and end goal of the people committing violence or not.

I think what happened in the capitol was horrible and hope enough people get to face the consequences in court. Similarly what has happened in Portland and other cities throughout this year has been horrible, from what I can gather and your statement.

Yet events are covered completely differently.
I'm doing this now, why not??
Seems like eugenics to me. Isn't this mengele-redux; DNA-based population management?
> you might want to start with the assumption that motivated reasoning is in play. You can be well-educated, and still have a bias and be inclined to argue for your side to win.

yes, this is the human condition and applies equally to both sides of this debate.

Not genetic and not biological are two different things. E.g. the differentiator might be hormonal influence during the fetal stage. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epigenetics for a long list of things other than DNA that can affect how organisms develop.
All that is explained in the linked article if you read it: https://erik-engheim.medium.com/making-a-non-electric-rover-...

Fluidics can run amplifiers for acoustic signals, which you can use for transmission.

Packaging is hard. I'd like to additionally nominate cables (as in wire harnesses) and strain reliefs to the list of things that make my life miserable.
Can someone explain to me why you wouldn't just count clock ticks at a higher level than the CPU? If the operation finishes early just... wait. I understand resolution and yes you'll probably only be w/i a delta of some sort, but isn't that the point?

Why wouldn't that approach work?
I didn't know about the epilepsy. How sad.

Comparing Debian to Facebook in terms of revenue is literally senseless. Debian is a free - free as in beer, free as in freedom - operating system. It does not exist to make money. That was my real point since I suspected the OP meant "doing better" in terms of money.
Personal theory. I should have said that in the original comment.
I'm a confused user: The field didn't tell me what I should put in, so I just typed Bob and it worked.
That's a very sane law. Have you heard of any problems with it in practice?
The traditional way to dealing with this from a computer crime perspective is to bribe a few officials in a third-world country, buy one basestation, and become a mobile operator there.
it's not that absurd when you consider opportunity costs. even if your actual expenses are only 10k/yr, at a 7% avg rate of return, after 17 years you're down 170k plus ~140k in lost interest. at 20k/yr you hit 340k plus ~280k in lost interest.
We spent $1000 dollars to get $1300

So reddit advertising was free or am I missing something?
At the risk of sounding like an Apple apologist

I agree, you do. Let me elaborate why.

I think it’s a stretch to say that Jobs is "deciding what content people can view on the iPhone and iPad."

If you choose to interpret it literally, then it's more than a stretch -- it's unfeasible. On the other hand, I believe Robert Wright didn't really mean it so literally. You've probably heard about Steve's (in)famous line about "freedom from porn". Please don't tell me you believe that Steve Jobs has nothing to do with decisions Apple has been making about what their users can or cannot view on their "iDevices". Sure, a lot of the stuff -- like that political cartoonist example -- can be attributed to incompetence and chaos of a typical bureaucracy, but even the most chaotic bureaucracy has someone or something to give a general direction. Implying that Steve Jobs isn't providing that direction to Apple is, well, a stretch.

You can do almost anything you’d like on the iPhone or iPad, provided you’re willing to use the browser as your main portal.

Except run Flash, for example. Or, for that matter, even know why you can't see the content of a site that serves Flash, unless you're web-savvy:

http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2010/04/return_of_the_...

If you’re bothered by Apple’s decision to rely on the web and curated applications to provide content to its users, then don’t use an i-Device.

Yeah, I've heard that one before. It's a standard non-argument used by apologists and, in general, by people who want to deflect criticism. I won't bore people with repetition of what I already said about that kind of statement, you can read it here:

http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1395364

I think Android is a fantastic platform, if fragmented and a little unpolished

Cue the popular buzzword, "fragmentation". It's fashionable, like calling Microsoft evil. Crying "fragmentation" is getting old:

http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/05/on-android-co...

Not to mention that, using the criteria in the post you linked to, we can call Python fragmented, too, and yet it's immensely popular and a great platform to boot.

Google and Apple are companies looking for the best way to make a dollar

Yep. Microsoft and AOL, too. Microsoft had authoritarian tendencies and AOL promoted the walled garden. We all know that the purpose of a company is to "make a dollar". That doesn't automatically excuse or justify everything they do.
"Should a bank really be making $100,000 unsecured loans to 18-22 yo-s just because someone in their (future) field has the potential to repay it?"

It is should be like insured deposit in a bank. The government guarantees up to $100k or so, but if you have more you run the risk your self. In this case if the banks lends more than let's say 40K, then they are on their own if borrower declares bankruptcy.

Why should everyone start work extra early or late just to start at the same time?

Your rationale fails Kantianism.

> we discuss some hairy edge case and come to a decision about what the behavior should be.

That's not a standup.

Banter is great!

Now and again, pick a time that works for everyone or even not everyone.

But that's not a daily standup.
>So where's the investment capital for them then?

Everywhere. Look at the numbers - Groupon has only taken a total of 1B in investments. SpaceX recently took 1B alone from Google in a single investment - and on top of the public billions spent on NASA, and private billions spent on SpaceX, Boeing, Lockheed - and the numerous other academic research projects.

The difference, I'm sure, is publicity. I'm sure the Groupon IPO got a ton more press than the curiosity landing. You simply don't hear about how the billions are being spent on those project because they don't have relatively massive returns in 5-8 years like a social coupon company would, and large money is spent on relatively small, uninteresting steps.

Likewise it isn't wise for a private fund to aggressively invest in these spaces. What would be an individual firm's financial return on developing the internet? A lot less than the financial return on Google.
Also a potential fragmentation problem:

"Vancouver": https://localwiki.org/vancouver/

"Metro Vancouver": https://localwiki.org/van/

There's a genuinely hard problem in trying to define discrete but sufficiently meaningful localities. People really like clean dichotomies, but locality is fractal.
Funny how every single 'right' thing they did benefits the early owners only and no one who buys the company stock thereafter. Successful companies are seldom built on the principle of maximizing value for yourself while handing lemons down to the next person foolish enough to invest in your company.
There is a difference between neovim favoring lua, and vim still existing. Plus their official stance is that vimscript is a worthy language for it's job and support for it isn't going anywhere.
Disclaimer: Groupon engineer (but not speaking for company).

Groupon's a lot more than daily deals now—that (what we call "Local") is still a big part of the business, but there is also Goods, Getaways, our POS/inventory management system, and Snap! by Groupon (in addition to several other things I'm probably forgetting). And even in Local the emphasis has shifted from daily emails ("push") to various "pull" strategies.

It's always tough when you fire your founder and CEO, but the company's been recovering steadily and I have faith in upper management's ability to continue increasing revenue and diversifying the product offering.
Completely agree on backwards compatibility but AtScript isn't required for Angular 2.0.
OmniGraffle. I really enjoy using it.
Yep.

Although it would be interesting to go "you must have a space where a person can fit, and if you ever kill the dummy inside you lose the race" (defined a little more precisely, of course).

Remember: you probably want to keep the scale vaguely car-size. That way you'll get the most applicable innovation coming out of it. And also that way it'll tend to be the most interesting to spectators.
This is a lot better than "computational advertising" (https://web.stanford.edu/class/msande239/) in my book.
For people who want an ISO layout, custom keycaps or greater choice of switches, the WASD V2 is identical to this except without the backlighting (how often are you at your desk with the lights off?). I've owned one for a year and it's been fantastic.

If it's doing that out of the box, then the "improper lubrication" is a defect of the keyboard.
That's not necessarily true.

All payment options, including cash, have associated costs.

It's certainly within the realm of possibility that the credit card networks, as a whole, are more efficient than any next best alternative, and indeed likely that they are so for certain specific actors within the marketplace.
There seems to be a number of confounding factors too? What were the changes in wholesale prices? Retail prices? Was there greater demand? Bigger homes?

How does that price change compare to surrounding states? I mean if Texas went up by $57 per person but other states went up by $75, a smaller increase is a plus.
Drop the kids of at school/daycare/grandparents - come back home :).
Macs had the most odd-ball SCSI implementation. Steve Jobs even refused to use the correct connectors and used DB-25s.
> Is the Earth getting warmer because of human activity? Probably not

This is just wrong. You are free to argue that 3° warming is no big deal, like one of your sibling comments does, but saying that humans are not responsible for climate change is factually wrong.

Yes, but it makes the UI look even uglier. :( Whereas the pre-Yosemite design had high contrast and actually looked good.
> Then, the market should take over, to optimise for price (== profit)

The problem with that is that it's far more attractive for a private entity to book profits, instead of investing into their infrastructure.

Thinking about it, the Texas disaster seems to be quite a nice illustration of that.
Um and yours? It seems like you both have something each other wants...

i love the idea, but what i would prefer is the establishment of a community where people would come to live and work remotely, instead of buying an island primarily to create a resort on it for vacations and tourism.
"You can only hold the opinion that a particular movie concept is a good or bad idea if you don't understand what a movie is or what an idea is."

This is ridiculous. Does he honestly believe that a movie about me eating a bowl of shredded wheat in a dimly lit room has the same probability of succeeding as a movie about Batman? Why do some movies get made and others not if it is meaningless talk about the worth of an idea? Are studio executives using some random process to determine which movies get made? Do they have no idea what a movie or an idea is?

Clearly it is meaningful to talk about the quality of ideas, and right now there is nothing else to talk about with regard to a Dilbert movie.

He has a valid point that the quality of the idea is a marginal factor in the success of any endeavor, but he generalizes it to the point of absurdity when he claims you can't discuss the quality of an idea. This sort of careless generalization seems typical of his blog posts that make it to hn, but I suppose thats why he is drawing cartoons and not proving theorems.

http://aspe.hhs.gov/poverty/09poverty.shtml

Poverty level for a 4-person household (which a single mother with three children would be) is $22,050/year.
3-person is $18,310.

50 hours a week @ $7.25/hr (federal minimum wage) * 52 weeks/year = $18824.

Although, good luck finding 50 hours a week of work in this economy.

And that only applies to US citizens. Never mind undocumented immigrants. (Though many do earn minimum wage and pay taxes.) Restaurants will often split low-income workers to avoid either restaurant giving them more than 40 hours a week, so they can avoid overtime and benefits.
>"Inspell" gives you red squiggly misspelling highlighting and intuitive spelling correction. It's a fantastic addition. Honest question - does the Android have something like this?

Android supports what are called IMEs -- the OSK is essentially just another application type, which can be replaced by the user. Which is basically to say that if you can dream up a method of inputting text, Android can do it. You can find everything from what are essentially much improved versions of a "standard" OSK[1] to gesture based typing[2] to alternate IMEs for non-latin characters to almost anything else you could come up with.

So the short answer is "probably."

All good ones. I personally find it not worth moving closer because I am in a long term mortgage as you mentioned.

I have another friend with a long commute because he lives close to where his wife works.

Another person I know used to have a commute of over 2 hours. His job location, like some others, was deliberately located away from population centers for security and safety reasons. Moving significantly closer would have been very difficult and meant being a long way away from everything in his life other than his job.
I would have to understand to know that I want to "wiggle out".
This article is straight up government-narrative propaganda meant to steer and dilute.

- Of course there is SIGINT going on in the Middle East.

- But "exposing" this will be seen as indiscriminately aiding "enemies".

- Once again driving the focus on Snowden, calling it his controversy, referencing him in the title, etc.

- Mention "terrorism" investigation with regards to Miranda, even though he's not being held in custody.

- But even more super scary secret files were confiscated, so don't worry, the government is keeping you safe by thwarting these people

- Imply Greenwald now has a personal mission to cause as much damage as possible to all the good people hold dear.
AV had a plain page, too.
It isn't a far leap to theorize that a good deal of oppression and aggression comes from an ancient, primal racism: the desire to remove competitive males and tribes from gene pools. Look at the mass number of black males incarcerated in the War on Drugs, and how eagerly we label any military-age males as "enemy combatants" in the War on Terror. You can even read this into Russia's paranoia that the West's "gay propaganda" is a plot to destabilize their collective male fertility.

To say that we're the only species to engage in murder and genocide is flat wrong: chimps will happily murder other chimps, even infants [1]. Maybe we're not as civilized as we think we are, and all the narratives and uniforms and laws are just theater to subsume and rationalize our animal savagery.

Nothing is ever simple, so I can't imagine this tells the whole story, but it's a big big factor, and it doesn't help anyone to ignore it.

Too bad this has been buried. This is the sort of thing that HN needs more of.
I wouldn't characterize web layout as "awesome." Look at the contortions required for basic tasks like equal height columns.
Yes, and that's why I'm now gun-shy to adopt any framework, JavaScript or otherwise.

For example, in LAMP context, I hit the problem you mention w/the Zend Framework 1 -> Zend Framework 2 upgrade path, as well as with Kohana 2 -> Kohana 3. ZF 2, in particular, pushed a lot of loyal ZF devs away, and after trying to upgrade existing projects, and use it for new projects, I'd say rightfully so. Now I'm stuck maintaining a large handful of projects built on top of unsupported frameworks.

Ads don't need to be customized to bring in revenue. Sure, it's more money if it's customized, but ads can be non-personalized; even can be entirely embedded in the app, no network needed whatsoever - that's the old newspaper model, and that worked for years.

If the upside to that model is that you manage to become the defacto platform across ios and android, I suspect the reduced add revenue is easily worth it.

Facebook simply wants more, now that they have the somewhat captive audience.
Problem is iMessage also relies a lot on SMS, an in a lot of countries this is really, really bad (due to crazy prices, Brazil for example where WhatsApp absolutely dominates, has crazy sky high prices for cellphone communications in general, WhatsApp dominance is because people at first used it as "free SMS" and after they got voice calls, people use it as "free phonecalls")
Unfortunately, a lot of it just gets released into the atmosphere. Capturing it all would be the obvious next step, but it costs money.

It's sad that browsers decided to do this. In my opinion, this just means that Chrome, Firefox & co. just don't support ES6. They don't support it but with a small foot note, they just don't support it. Period.

I just wish we'd live in a world where people were willing to write code using TCE and just say "wontfix" when users of non-compliant browsers complain that "the code crashes", but alas, in 2021 browsers can just choose to not fix non-compliances and blame the website instead. This is just fucked up.

Ah, interesting misread (this is why I love forums like this). What I was saying was you seem to be reflecting on your childhood and the resentments thereof (a somewhat universal exercise). But your reply was to OP (an adult who thinks he or she can get their kid hooked on programming). However, your reply was a projection of your own resentment of your childhood. Therein lies the irony.

> For instance, it's hard to combine instructions together, which is actually an advantage for x86 (the complex memory operands come for free).

True, although I just looked at the ARM assembly for Daniel's example, and it's making good use of "ldpsw" to load two registers from consecutive memory with a single instruction. So in this particular case, it may be a wash.

> But it also guarantees memory ordering that ARM doesn't which is a drawback.

Yes, I wasn't considering the memory model to be part of the instruction set. I agree that in general this could be a big difference in performance, although I don't think it comes up in Daniel's example.

I added a comment to Daniel's blog with my guess as to what's happening to cause the observed timings in his example. Feedback from anyone with better knowledge of M1 would be appreciated.
