The author's larger point about the situation in SF seems reasonable enough (I don't live there, so I'm taking his word for it - obviously I'd change my mind if his facts turn out to be false), but I don't buy this logic of "this guy killed someone, and if we had incarcerated him then we wouldn't have, so therefore we obviously should have incarcerated him earlier." By that logic, you should just keep everyone who has ever committed a crime in jail, because some portion of the people who you release will eventually do something awful. That road leads to madness.
I'm confused; I thought that Wifi 6E equipment using the 6GHz band was already available?

I actually just ordered a wifi card based on the Intel AX210: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/docs/wirele...

I'm eagerly awaiting an AP that supports 6GHz and am hoping for a few years of relatively interference free wifi in an urban setting (like 5Ghz was for the first year or two).
The 767s are twin engine and more efficient than the 747.

The A380 never was a cargo plane, big that it is. It also has the four engines with the added maintenance.
It depends on which edge of a timezone you live on. Standard time makes more sense for the eastern most edges of timezones and Daylight time makes more sense for the western most edges of timezones (and people towards the exact center of timezones distrust both because they both don't work correctly to the sun), because timezones are hour-wide. Going back to 15-minute wide timezones would be extraordinarily painful, of course, but as someone in a city that partly defines the western edge of a timezone, I do sometimes wonder what life would have been like when the city had a 45-minute offset from its eastern edge counterparts back before railways standardized on hour-wide timezones.
> Why doesn't the company hire someone in another time zone?

We have teams in other time zones, but we're sectioned off in such a way that every team manages their own operations, and members within a team tend to be clustered within similarly banded zones (for easier collaboration, etc.).
> Iran's involvement in Syria directly led to Brexit

It's appalling how you (even partially(?)) blame Iran for Brexit. The US decided to support Syrian rebels (of whom mostly turned out to become or move to ISIS). Syria is a secular state, whether you like to believe this or not. The Russians and Iranians were legitimately asked by its officials to help support the Syrian army to tackle the terrorists. Yet, the US and its allies financed/armed so called rebels that made a disaster of the country. Remember McCain's visits and photographs back in 2011? Why is the US even STILL there?!
I can not think of a single country in the ME that turned out to become better after the US started meddling in its elections/government - ironically, including the one which you are currently blaming.

Blame the incompetence of Brexit on the people who advocated for it and who like to ignore/dismiss facts.
The zoning commission runs at the town/country level, so even if you don't have HOA busybodies you still need to get the permits. The law is usually worded such that if you're doing something abnormal you don't get a "there is no rule that says a dog can't play baseball" loophole, you instead have to bring it up before the county council and justify the project.
Proponents of spectrum auctions should be ashamed of themselves.

If you pop up a spectrum analyzer anywhere there are people, you'll see loads of traffic jammed into the "free-for-all" ISM bands, you'll see AM & FM radio, and you'll see precious little else. If you have a really good spectrum analyzer, you'll be able to spot the occasional cellular traffic, but by and large the spectrum that has been auctioned off to corporate owners goes almost entirely to waste.

50 years ago when fixed-frequency narrowband receivers were all we had, this made sense. It was a necessary compromise. Nobody needed bandwidth but everybody needed a dedicated frequency to accommodate their primitive hardware. Today it's the opposite, and the relative usage of ISM bands vs everything else proves it. The radio-frequency situation makes the real-estate markets with block after block of unoccupied apartments look downright efficient by comparison. We need to fix this.
Pundits have no imagination, that's why they always think in terms of the next big thing coming from the ashes of the last big thing.

With PEP-518 being 5 years old it's still relatively new, and most tools have implemented the support for it relatively recently. The key introduction article was written exactly one year ago: https://snarky.ca/what-the-heck-is-pyproject-toml/
I'm sure these 1% can be negotiated when you bring a 32M$ project.
The fact is that by the time you know about the "working" exploit it's already been fixed. Unless you're security-related researchers / engineers you're not very likely to get hold of a 0-day exploit.
With regards to the ranking of an app in Google Play, would you make the same statement?
> But Demikhov’s work, while aesthetically disturbing and undoubtedly shocking (…) led to major gains in organ transplant research without compromising human health. His experiments, especially the organ transplants—he was the first to successfully complete both heart and lung transplants in animals — paved the way for the human version, leading to a procedure that has clearly saved countless lives over the ensuing decades.
Hello Philip, I hold an account on wrapbootstrap under the name of railscom, and we are having the same problem. It was at first a paypal problem (i figured my ourself). We have changed that paypal account with one that can accept payments. We have contacted James the owner several times but we are still getting no response or clarifications. I have a feelling that this guy is ignoring sellers from some countries(I'm from Tunisia by the way). Anyway, thanks for the phone number, I'll try to call him, otherwise, i'll have to contact some friends who are resident the united stated to act on my behalf.
The old mode was, you put a + before a required term, and you quoted exact (multi-word) phrases. That worked reasonably well and was easy to understand. A + could apply to a single word or to a single phrase, as could a -.

Verbatim was a regression, given it requires you to use the UI instead of typing inline, and it seems to interact with other search options in hard to predict ways.
Yes, I think hosting open source projects outside the US is eminently sensible; it would be terrible if organizations like the NSA were able to go through every single commit on the project, see who did it, and what they changed.
I'm not sure I can agree with the article's claim that these experiments were necessary:

"Without that terrifying two-headed dog, in other words, we’d all go down with our failing kidneys."

Eventually we would have found other ways to collect the data needed for safe organ transplants than using live mammals. It probably would have delayed the introduction of transplant procedures on humans, so in that sense there would have been "people going down with failing kidneys" -- but how much suffering can you justify by saying that it might save human lives down the road?

I'm reminded of Kazuo Ishiguro's excellent novel Never Let Me Go.

(--- Major spoiler alert! ---)

It takes place in a sort of parallel-universe Britain of the '70s and '80s where human cloning was invented just after WWII. Cloning has become the cure for cancer: just grow a steady supply of live clones, take their organs and transplant them to cancer-inflicted patients.... Of course it takes about 18 years to grow a clone, and you can't just keep these people in a vat somewhere. So the clones are people without citizen rights, whose sole mission in life is to be harvested eventually. Society sees this as justified because clones are not "real people" anyway -- and more importantly, nobody wants to turn the clock back to an era when people regularly died of cancer.
~str isn't inherently mutable; it's an owned string, and so is mutable if placed in a mutable variable.

The reason it's used here is so that the error messages can be constructed at runtime e.g. `fmt!("line %u: trailing characters", line_number)`, if it was using &'static str (i.e. a compile-time literal) then one could only use hard-coded error messages.
It probably does have an insane cache hierarchy, but in any case think of it this way: latency is going to be dramatically better to main memory on this machine than to disk, which is what the alternative would be if you have a highly nonlocal workload.
> Because money talks!

Could you elaborate in what ways money influenced Turkey to speak out about it, where others didn't? I'm intensely curious about this.
This article is really about PC nerd nostalgia. From the "If you believe the Steve Jobs iPad snake oil" sentiment to mentions of Token Ring and IRQ conflicts - I loved it. Memory lane! :D
This is depressing. For the last 15 years or so, when housing prices started accelerating rapidly in most of Anglosphere and much of the developed world, Germany was always touted as a country with sane and stable prices (with the exception of Munich, I remember). Then after the housing crash, things began to recover, and I'd heard Germany was still affordable, with the exception now of Berlin and Frankfurt, which were rising quickly.

But now I imagine all areas, even cities without a lot of tech and finance to push up prices, are becoming unaffordable to 80% of the millennial generation looking to buy their first home. Even in once low cost areas in former East Germany

Same thing is happening to once affordable 2nd and even 3rd tier cities in the US. Homes in my very low cost origin city in the Midwest are up almost 50% in just 7 years or so, and half that increase in the last year. And unlike cities where land is tight, there are farm fields in every direction, so unlimited room to grow. But something (lack of supply, money printing, immigration, low interest rates, massive price collusion, who knows?) is putting insane pressure on prices.
Would that not be dependent on the carrier?
This isn't a classification of anxiety that is supported by the literature, i.e. if you have anxiety you have anxiety and it's a symptom for lots of different things including fear, trauma, self esteem issues, procrastination, etc.

My suggestion is that you find a therapist who can guide you through this. Good luck!
Feels weird to see this kind of content in HN!

I also had a pair of Jordans growing up (7s from the Barcelona Olympics, so they had #9 instead of #23) and a couple of years ago I bought into the hype and found myself looking for a par of 1s. I hadn't bothered doing some basic research so I just knew there were lows, mids and highs. I was looking for a specific colourway (black and white) and I found a pair of mids that had it, so I ordered a pair. I was absolutely appalled by the quality. I don't think they had any trace of real leather anywhere, they were all plastic, but not even plastic that resembles leather somehow, it was just crappy plastic, and I couldn't believe Nike would charge over €100 for this and get away with it. If I hadn't bought those off Nike themselves I would've been convinced they were fakes. I did some research after that and found out that most mids have terrible quality, so ended up getting a pair of highs (bloodlines) that at least are leather. Still, I really doubt any of the models they sell these days would age as well as the originals from the 80s (like https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0665/5171/files/CBJordanBr...). Also they seem to be unable to replicate the design of the originals (which were much slimmer in the toebox), they have made another attempt at this (the High 85 cut) but still I find them too bulky (in pics, haven't seen them in person).

Also I find the artificially limited quantities tiresome, I would've bought several pairs of Jordans but don't have the time or the will to play that game. I think I understand why they do it, but I also wonder how that would compare with a strategy where they would make the most sought after colourways (say bred or chicago) readily available at any time. Like Adidas has done with the Stan Smiths, for example, I can walk into any store that sells Adidas and buy a pair of Stan Smiths in the original colourway (and many others). And after all these years since they exploded in popularity they still seem to be selling a ton of those.
You don't know what kind of contracts are available for the GP.

> These are all the things a restourant owner would know about their customers, for example

The restaurant I visit most often "knows" only my first name (only) plus my mobile phone number, I suppose if they really tried they could probably collect data on my approximate height, build, eye and hair colour, and that I have multiple kids. That's it (since I pay them in cash).

Oddly enough they don't worrying about tracking their customers and instead focus on delivering an excellent product with excellent service. They're known in the region for that, they're usually busy, so one might think their strategy seems to be working(?)
I'd tip that being open to the hand of God being involved helps to get some of the participants to engage in the project.

Why so? I'm not trying to be trollish -- I really don't see how this is the "most important single contribution to adoption..."
While I agree with the essence of your message, it is flawed only because of free will. When given the opportunity an individual will usually think selfishly even in regard to a larger system. Isn't this the basis for "game theory"? Everyone individually thinks they can squeak by, get a little bit of an advantage, pay off the extortionists, no harm done right?

Or in another example, if nobody took a job for a shitty company there would be no shitty companies right? So why are people taking shitty company jobs?
I think on it as "pastebin" for writing with asteroids.
Asia has a pretty Microsoft-centric tech culture.

India's probably got the most downloads because of the large IT industry there. There's a large population but most don't have access to computers. Compare that to China, where many more people have access to computers, but the Firefox 4 download rate is much lower.

Indonesia's the exception - Firefox has a share of something like 80%. No idea how that happened.

Japan's pretty tech savvy as well and has a high rate of technology penetration.
It is cool but I wonder how many customers you get with a story that is 15 years old. The world has moved on.

I did some really early Apple Newton development work in around the same timeframe ('96, '97) and the early Newton development tools were also all written in Lisp. Probably Mac Common Lisp.

Not so strange of course since many people on the Newton team had a strong OODL (Object Oriented Dynamic Language) background. These are mostly the same folks with SmallTalk, Lisp, Scheme and Dylan experience.

Awesome times. But not much of it is left.
I got the impression that Linus was discussing GC in general usage in the long post, not specific to the GCC compiler. He even brought up the copy_on_write example, which was a kernel or file system usage.

If the goal is to speed up GCC, there are a long list of things to do before you have to worry about L1/L2 cache miss. Header file processing (or re-processing) is one of the biggest time sinks during compilation.
I bought my '74 Westy in AZ, which had been in storage for 20 years. Only dry rot to attend to, which is much easier than the dreaded rust.

Yep. Last time I interviewed I did one interview at a random place I didn't care about just to get rid of jitters, one at a mid-tier place I'd actually accept if I didn't get another offer and then two at FANG companies. I easily passed all of them except one of the FANGs and then I was off the market. The time before that I did a single interview. The time before that though I wasn't as experience and probably interviewed at 20-30 places before I got a job.
That makes sense. The big f-string tutorial people reference (and is the current top result on DuckDuckGo for "f-string") was written prior to 3.8.
It's worth noting that Pale Moon, Waterfox, and Ghostery are variably outdated versions of Firefox, and Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, Bromite, and Smooz are just Chrome.

>*SpaceX isn't a charity, they are in this to make money.*

Exactly - but what are the EXACT revenue streams they expect?

How are they going to make money off the largest continent on the planet; Africa which also has the poorest population on the planet?
It's normal to be defensive, as what your net worth is put in is one of the most important decisions of your life, like a religion.

I'm sure a person who uses apartments as a store of value in San Francisco (and renting them out) would be quite defensive if the city would want to get rid of zoning regulations.
Many of us are already taking steps to reduce our energy use like driving as little as possible, eating less meat, consuming less. It’s not a joke.
That's the entire point - that Israel vaccinates its citizens regardless of ethnicity, and the data doesn't exclude non-Jews.

As for the West Bank, the article itself notes the legal responsibility is 'disputed',
that is nobody save some activists thinks there's one - which is why no state in the planet has called Israel to take over West Bank or Gaza healthcare.

Even the Palestinian Authority (which has ordered the Sputnik V) hasn't called for it or asked for aid. Apparently some people feel Israel should still just take over despite their own wishes! That's an enticing prospect to a Israelis of a certain political bent...

P.S. One fact to note - Israel's COVID statistics are significantly worse. The idea apparently is to redirect vaccination from where there's a barely contained outbreak to a place where there isn't.
Although I have no reference available for this, I have read that the ancient oracular practice of examining animal's intestines was similarly manipulated and contracted for. The priests knew that some plants (containing teratogens) created mutant offspring whose insides (if they lived at all) would be messed up. By feeding some animals those plants, they could offer up either a bad omen or a good omen (regular animal, normal intestines, liver etc) at will as their leaders wished. Because teratogens were beyond the imagination of the ordinary citizen, it had to be the Gods' speaking, 'cause they usually did give pretty good advice.
Fucked up! Baidu should never be used to search English pages. Even you search English glossary, it will return some unrelated low quality Chinese webs. And in many professional sections, you can only find stupid shallow scraped content in Chinese even with google. When you have to search in English, Bing is the most convenient one left. The problem is I have to speak to myself loudly each time I search in Bing: "is Bing retarded!?" Maybe Bing is trying it's best to be difference from G. Then when G gets most of right results, Bing sucks so hard by bringing tons of heavily SEOed craps.

I use gmail, adsense, google calendar daily, and expecting to use facebook, twitter and other SM daily. I use 3 to 4 methods to get through GFW, none of them can guarantee a stable access. The fuckest thing is I waste 1/3 of my working time only because of the blocking.

Windows 7 uses the GPU for its interface, so I'm guessing it is smoother than Android.

Seriously? Somehow I doubt the presence of or absence of lolcats and 4chan will make much difference to future generations.

We're already drowning in data. We need to start making some executive decisions about what's important and what's not. If it turns out we're wrong - we'll deal with it.
spam, spam account
I see you get a lot of traffic - cannot authorise my delicious account for the last couple of hours. Is there any way you can distribute the traffic? I guess you wouldn't want to use other people's hosts due to passwords being required, but can you spin up some cloud vps type of hosts to cleanup the queue the next days and import more links?

You don't seem to have any flattr/paypal/whatever link on the website, but I'd be happy to click it, if it meant more accounts migrated ASAP :)

Also, just adding an idea: if you provide a delicious-compatible api endpoint, people could reuse the existing browser plugins - is there any chance you could do that?
By book, I meant a dead tree version that I can read in bed or in a sofa. I'm not great at taking in large amounts of new information from a website. Sorry if I wasn't specific on that.
Might be a fun game to have each person pick a kickstarter, strip it down to the pitch, the goals and the backer options and have everyone guess if it was successful or not.
Land?

I think raw land is one thing that can become valuable on its own. Of course billions of years from now it will be gone.

Where I live the land is very much a big part of the cost of the home. The structure is worth what it would cost to demolish plus rebuild it minus existing wear and tear/needed repairs I figure. The value of the structure doesn’t appreciate as fast as the land it is on due to degradations as you’ve pointed out and materials/labor usually not increasing as fast as appreciating assets which the land itself is. Of course in many locations the structure is worth more than the land it is on.

Hence location being the most important part of the equation as any real estate agent will tell you.

I never thought I'd see a relevant comment about Goatse on HN.
Usually a good outsourced provider will have measures in place to monitor and pro-actively deal with hardware failures as well as maintain standbys and replacement parts onsite. My point is simply that by outsourcing you don't have to deal with those issues. You might still get the call, but your provider should already be working on a fix.
