So you’re telling me, there really probably is no place for graphene in consumer products... shocker.
The tools aren't much fun on Windows, either.
You have a really good advice, I think I need to work on my salesmanship or find a cofounder. Actually collecting stats sounds nice, maybe a video clip of actual in person consumer interview might help too. Answering the market demand question is where I struggle. Many of my idea are not proprietary so anyone can pay someone more experienced to knock me off which worries me. Thank you!
I sold my car years ago and it is one of the most liberating things I've ever done. Yes, I live in a posh metropolitan area that makes it unnecessary to own a car and yes my housing is a bit more expensive, but I'm happier and have way more free time. But I have to say, Tempe isn't a place I'd want to walk around most months of the year, so unless this is high-rises, low-rises, skybridges, and tunnels, no way would I be on onboard.
Fourthing GORUCK. I have the original G1. Way overpriced, not enough pockets, no exterior pocket for a hydro bottle but I try other packs and always come back to my GORUCK.

It’s been up alpine mountains, been covered in mud, been through SCARS once and still looks good as new. It’s also my office backpack.

I can pack a bunch of crap into it, toss it on the ground and rip it open and get to what I need quickly. It’s my life’s one bag.

I have everything broken into kits so I can quickly pack for work or hiking or travel pretty quickly.
FTA: Now, I don't literally mean a driver's license. I'm using this term figuratively to mean online credentials that I can re-use in more than one place on the internet.

I'm flabbergasted that so many people heard "Internet Driver's License" and simply started frothing at the mouth. It's quite crass, in my opinion.
Because there are loads of slackers reading HN, who'd like to change.

Now go back to work!
What timezone is this in? I'm in Eastern/New York and it doesn't work =(
FTA: If all I want to do is leave a comment on a blog -- like, say, this one -- then one of the weaker forms of identity will surely do. If I'm starting a new bank account, or setting up a profile on a dating website, then maybe a stronger credential from my virtual wallet is necessary.
I am a scientist. This sure doesn't seem like science to me.

I'm not an expert in self-motivation so I don't know if there are placebo controlled randomized experiments to test effectiveness of self-motivation, but it seems like a reasonable and testable hypothesis that there are some real cognitive effects.

We know that athletes exhibit "muscle memory" where after prolonged repetition of a physical motion there are real changes that occur in the brain to make future repetitions sub-conscious, i.e. "being in the zone".

I suppose there could be an analagous system for higher order cognitive processes.

I kind of assumed they meant heat pump or resistive, mandating resistive heating would be insane.

what's a monopoly?
Yes, everyone is in complete hysterics exactly because Facebook is evil (by the definition "harmful or tending to harm" (OED) or "morally reprehensible" (Merriam-Webster)). Just remember the recent(-ish) Oculus controversy, where they forced everyone who bought their hardware to sign in with Facebook and in some cases (soft-)bricked users devices because their Facebook accounts did not have enough activity [1]. Especially because Palmer Luckey (founder of Oculus) when answering questions about the acquisition in 2014 said that Facebook would not do such a thing [0].

I personally am scared because the language being used here is not at all specific to the scenario mentioned here ("hosted clients"). I understand that anything more specific would probably be rejected by their legal team. I am afraid that some 5 years down the line they'll be able to do something worse without notifying users because the TOCs and privacy policies are written in this ambiguous language.

Regarding alternatives, I can't really speak on the security/privacy of any of them but from what I can gather, Matrix does have E2E-encryption functionality [2] so I'm not quite sure how it is less secure than Signal (provided you host your own server and/or have a reasonable degree of trust in the server-operator of your conversation-partner).

As SymPy is pure Python, if you need speed, you can run it under Pypy just-in-time compiled implementation of Python.
No, that would be using solar as a scapegoat for bad planning.
>Nutritional deficiencies came from the absence of fat and carbohydrates, not necessarily protein. Indeed, if humans eat too much meat, diarrhea usually ensues. And within weeks, they can develop protein poisoning and even die. “Because we humans are not fully adapted to a carnivorous diet, we simply cannot digest protein very well,” Lahtinen says. “It can be very fatal in a very short period of time.”

What? This seems flat out wrong. Carbohydrates are the only macronutrient you can live without. Regardless of the long term health outcomes, many people live for years on carnivorous diets.

The first sentence might be talking about our past digestive systems, but the rest is about the present.

You made the case for why you don't think nuclear can do any good (because it's too late), but what's the case for harm?
So maybe it is probably the enshrinement of "I want to make sure that the woman only makes kids with the copies of my genes" into religious doctrine.

Nowadays you can design such online, by just uploading a picture or two. At least it is like that with t-shirts. Not sure about jackets specifically.
Well then sway maintainer's reason to explicitly deny support for proprietate nvidia driver is a reasonable argument too.
Can anyone recommend other books similar to this one?

Having done the Nand2Tetris course and started the Ray Tracer Challenge book I find I really like these books that guide you through a pretty complex project.

It helps you learn by doing while at the same time preventing you from falling into bad practices or getting overwhelmed.
I'd like to add that it took the Julia community itself quite a bit to understand what this "value proposition" actually is, especially that it is not just a very nice high level language language geared towards linear algebra that is fast as C and allows some interaction with the type system!
The Apple Card the way Goldman Sachs is doing it is something of a “shake up” of a field where nothing usually changes.

I grew up playing soccer with two twins, Brennan and Evan, one was left footed and one was right footed. Consequently, they played left and right midfielders (they were also both tall and lanky, good distance runners). They were an incredible duo and easily switched the ball across the field to each other.

They continued playing soccer competitively and played on the best state club team. I ended up at the same Uni where they were roommates and majored in the same things, took the same classes, joined the same fraternity, etc.

Unfortunately I didn't know them well enough to know if they had any sort of twin language or anything, but I wouldn't be at all surprised. I rarely saw them apart.
Well, I used the word convenience for a reason. I have a MBP running Linux as a server, and it was fiddly to set up correctly. I didn't mind too much, but on macOS you've got none of that.

Catering for edge cases like; when closing lid, it should not go to sleep, with external drive connected and mounted, it won't boot if that somehow disappears, Apple remote cannot easily be disabled (there's one used in the room, and it's picked up by the laptop constantly).

I also have occasional issues where the trackpad stops working after a period, and requires a reboot to fix. More of an X issue I believe.
They only support Chrome, and you can only view one other person at the same time.
They're the smooth (lisce) penne, not the furrowed (rigate) variety. "nobody" uses those!

At the start of the quarantine, when Italians went and stripped shops bare of goods despite all warnings about the supply chain being in no danger and there being no need to stock up on everything, this type of pasta was the only one left on most shelves.

The reason for that _might_ have to do with the "fact" that it's more difficult to ensure pasta sauce sticks to the smooth type - the grooves help a LOT ensuring the sauce sticks well and homogeneously.

As to why people would leave any type of food on shelves if they were truly thinking they'd need to stock up... I've no clue.
Although I am far from an Abe fan, I honestly don't think this is it. I think what he is doing is casting doubt on whether or not the Olympics will go ahead. This will slow down the rate at which cancellations in hotel accommodations will happen. I think the idea is probably to cushion the shock to the economy. He'll probably cast doubt as long as he feasibly can and then announce a postponement.
Perhaps because India is not testing?

If you don’t test, then you cannot confirm someone has the virus. Thus, your confirmed cases remains low.

India has not shown up on the map yet, but I suspect that the virus is picking up steam. Every week, the numbers slowly increase. And by the time someone is confirmed with the virus, then they probably already infected 10 to 20 other people.
Car rear dashcam, based rpi zero w with camera and gps. Device is going to detect idiots on highway driving too close (hanging on bumper in urge to overtake), save video and upload it automatically (not decided yet where) when parked in home wifi range. Distance between cars can be estimated from distance between lights. GPS for ignoring traffic jam (speed), and video overlay.
But transferring the parser happens once, transferring JSON happens every time.

Really depends on the use case I guess. But any situation where I'm using JSON arrays instead of keyed objects for efficiency reasons is probably a situation where flatbuffers makes just as much (if not more) sense.
There's a lot of bone and fish meal used in organic farming. Conventional farming is much more vegan than organic.
Welcome to the concept of ‘plausible deniability’, where you can claim zero responsibility from the secondary effects of your actions. Problem is, that can still fall into the category of incitement. So to your question, the answer is one that would be answered best on a case by case basis. When it comes to Jones, one can definitely argue that he effectively puts a target on the back of those he talks about, and that argument is successfully being made in a courtroom.
Yup. User-generated content is prized by social networks because it's free to acquire. But over time, you get what you pay for.

Archegos had secured identical positions with a number of investment banks, including Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, and Nomura.

This seems like Pandora's box of compensation (at least for U.S. based tech workers).

Is it not at least possible, that, if this were adopted by all tech cos, the average wage would pull wages downward?
I'm going against the grain and make the assertion that improving the Touch Events was the better option here. Touch Events are supported by more browsers and devices and already have many of the functional requirements that Pointer Events have.

While it makes sense to have a consistent API, for the foreseeable future there will be three event standards; touch, pointer, and mouse. While if there was focus on an existing standard it would leave web developers with a smaller room for error. A direct result of Blink using the Pointer Event standard is that there will be more web bloat such as jQuery wrappers to abstract interaction.

Most web developers like have experienced the mess of getting touch events and mouse events feeling consistent across different devices and browsers. Throwing more hardware and an extra API into the mix is only going to make things worse.

I welcome the much needed pressure support, for the average web developer and user the result will likely be detrimental. Colour me cynical, each browser has to nail its implementation or we're going to see another messy standard. IE for example still does not support Touch Events, even on WP. This makes front end development painful if you support the device.
OK Go advertisement. No thanks.
I hope that, with the money NASA has to spend in launches, the private sector finds clever and cheap ways to haul people and cargo to LEO so that NASA can focus its talent on doing things the private sector cannot or prefers not to do, not maintaining an impressive (and impressively expensive) fleet of delivery vehicles.

It saddens me we won't see many more 100-ton launches (70-ton shuttle + 30-ton payload) for a while, as those will be replaced by far less impressive 30-ton launches.
Fair comment - but check this out:

We rank #23 out of 230 on a per capita basis, nearly everybody above us is either an Island nation where transport costs factor in huge or a Middle East nation with plenty of oil in their back yards.

The average American uses 2x as much, in running total, as do the French . . .
Nice! There's a typo on the first slide though - "Interective Simulation", should be "Interactive" :)

You should try hard to market this to enterprise users - eg financial software houses and consultancies who knock out apps in Excel. Here you have a) the least intuitive software known to man and b) big budgets. This would be a huge step up from most of the business to business user guides I've seen.

EDIT: After another read, your site seems to be somewhat aimed at this market. But anyway, best of luck.
There's no doubt that the initial interest in the language is because of "who" did it vs what it could do.

But it's fundamentally an open-source project. The only funding from Google comes in the form of paying some of the members' salaries. That's it.

I think the interest in Go has been increasing with or without Google's name tacked on to it, honestly.

Otherwise, you might as well say that the only interest in Rust is because it's funded by Mozilla?
> In the rest of the world, it is unreasonable for limited companies to make unregulated profits on tax money

I envy the author for living in a country where one can imagine that commercial companies don't make unregulated profits on tax tax money.
There's more than one clearing firm in the market. The more money the clearing firm has, the more likely it'll be able to continue trading highly volatile stocks at high volume. Fidelity, as a huge financial firm that's been around for a while, had the assets to afford to keep trading it (and/or their customers weren't trading enough to put strain on them), robinhood (which has its own, small, clearing firm) couldn't, simple as that.
Is the entirety of civilization truly founded on racism or is just a part of it founded on racism? If it's only a part then what is wrong with denouncing the racist portion of civilization? How important is that portion?
Ah these are fair points. Have probably gotten so used to them by now that I don’t get annoyed by them.
There is decades of data and sound reasoning to show what has, does, and will happen if arbitrage opportunities exist.

It’s no different than purchasing groceries from store A because they are cheaper than store B.

Paying people extra does not necessarily produce better product, at least not better enough to offset the extra costs.

If the goal is to give people a better life by giving them more money, that is better solved via wealth redistribution.

It's not working like that; there is no committee deciding your fair pay based on your technical prowess.

It's all down to how well you are able to market yourself. Granted possessing actual competence makes that easier, but really, the world is full of competent, smart but not particularly pushy people who get ripped off.
To Parents

The urge to create is equally strong in all children. Boys and girls.

It’s the imagination that counts. Not skill. You build whatever comes into your head, the way you want it. A bed or a truck. A dolls house or a spaceship.

A lot of boys like dolls houses. They’re more human than spaceships. A lot of girls prefer spaceships. They’re more exciting than dolls houses.

The most important thing is to put the right material in their hands and let them create whatever appeals to them.
there's probably some 'thinking fast, thinking slow' decision substitutions going on in the industry ie, i don't want to acknowledge that i'm vastly overpaid for doing something that is likely to have net-zero value (or massively negative in the long term) so my brain switches to thinking that my salary is justified if i work absurd hours. that plus a chase the cheese mentality for all those alpha personalities.
Finance is weirdly disorganized. Everything I hear is you have a long empty period during the day and then a work dump whenever the MD goes home that you scramble to do. You wind up throwing out a lot of work halfway through because someone didn't bother to check whether it was the right thing to be doing or even relevant, just handed you an assignment. Everything's last minute and disorganized, but no one cares because the gaps always get filled with heroic efforts from the interns and junior people.
Of course, how much that matters depends and if you limit to a subset it becomes much easier, but I definitely agree that people should have the right to be anonymous. I just don't like it when people have to do so, and do want to fix the problems if possible.

And what makes you think that it wasn't? If you were in charge of the nuke launch process you would never give the power to one man, would you? You would have probably done two things:

1. Require a broad consensus to launch (possibly with a dead-hand).

2. Don't tell anyone on the outside. Best keep the enemy guessing and the people in awe.

Throughout the history people clamored for a strong leader, so you either give them one and suffer the risks of having a dictatorship, or you give them an illusion of a strong leader. The fictitious red button works perfectly - the man carries the literal Armageddon in his pocket, his power must be divine (subject to expiration on Jan 20th).
How are they being censored? They are perfectly fine to host their community elsewhere, and no one from the state has kicked in their door and hauled them off to a black site.
In the early 00s, the LUEsers were a subforum of GameFAQs. Their official name was "Life, the Universe, and Everything".

They got their notoriety by posting pornographic images all over the site, notably on Pokemon forums where children often came to discuss the game. It was a silly meme ("Mods are asleep, post Tub-girl" or whatever). But their memes were beginning to harm the site.

The LUEsers cried "free speech" and bemoaned the moderators for attacking their memes. Eventually, the admins shut down the LUE-subforum entirely (though with a "Grandfather clause", so that old LUEsers can still talk with each other, but newbies couldn't join their forum anymore).
I can think of many reasons full message history is valuable.

- a friend says something that you don’t realise is important until months later and need to reference

- a friend or partner dies and you wish to revisit old times by reading your messages

- a couple wish to nostalgically re-read random conversations from their early time together

- a group chat for work or students shares valuable resources that you wish to reference, but is impractical to make copies of the dozens of messages

- legal reasons if somebody accused you of saying or doing something you did not do

- you’re going to an address (for example) that somebody sent you a week prior, but you forgot to save it

People are forgetful, people are emotional and nostalgic, and people are argumentative. All very good reasons for a chat history. Disappearing messages are simply always opt-in precisely because most people do not want it.
I agree. Why would you think that I thought the free Internet is the only thing that has value? That's a nonsensical position. My point was that if a company shuts this down with an SSL cert hack of some kind, it may be just or even backed by law enforcement, but it exposes a vector for suppression by corporations of the Internet that I had not considered before and we need to understand the high order effects from that.

Instead of DR, I think I'll use Ruby2D as a very first step: it's incredibly limited, having only basic primitives, but it's also much more approachable, in a BASIC/LOGO-like way.

Coincidentally because of that use case I just remembered yesterday that I had a PR open on Ruby2D...
There was no first computer. The further you go back the less it becomes a computer, the further you go forward the less it becomes a first.
