I'm personally worried Signal will suffer the same fate. It's heavily trusted in its current state, but it could, in time, turn into a Silicon Valley "product" (and so will we). eye roll.
I don't have an answer, but I do have a question. If you funded some amount of crypto as the primary asset into a new company, and then convinced a SPAC to take you public... is that a net gain? We've seen already-public companies buy up crypto, but what about taking a private one public and skipping the "real" business part?
The supposed reforms should also loosen regulations in R-1A and R-2 zones, which are much larger. The press coverage of this is garbage. Read the actual resolution.

Does anyone have a number on how much Helium is produced in the Earth's crust by radioactive decay?
When my wife and I went to pre-baby classes they'd often use the phrase "Fed is best" and I thought it was strange because it sounded like something that could have rhymed and was a missed opportunity. Then I was informed that the phrase used to be "Breast is best" but, like you're saying, women who could not breast feed for whatever reason were subjected to this level of guilt and ridicule so much so that now they've dropped that phrase.

They'd say like "Sure, breast feed if you can but if you can't that is totally a-ok too. Get some formula, get some skin to skin time. Your baby will be fine". I liked how much effort the classes were putting in to not pressure people to breast feed when it wasn't always an option.

There's no need to feel, as a parent, that you've failed your child if you're not breast feeding.
Uk is committed to buy 48 but likely to go for 70.

48 x 90 = 4320 mil.$
Good advice, as far as I'm concerned. The decision to skip breastfeeding is irreversible if you stop producing milk, whereas you can always switch to formula. So it makes sense to try breastfeeding first and see if it works for you.
Absolutely! By any definition, the pinnacle place to work for in Russia.
Sounds like the backstory to the forbidden planet.
That's the great thing about math: It doesn't care how sincerely you believe that 6 and 9 are the same number. In other words, the kind of game you're talking about can only go on for so long before cold reality makes itself known.

In my experience, no. I would really love for it to be a thing as it's perfect for sharing devices on your computer to containers or VMs (i.e. program and debug your ARM MCU with a complex embedded toolchain and programmer running in a simple docker container). But in my experience USB over IP is still kind of a "here's a bunch of kernel modules and not a lot of documentation; good luck on windows" stage.
What’s more frustrating with Apple is that a lot of data on iCloud is still not encrypted in a way where Apple doesn’t have access to the decryption key (and hence cannot hand over meaningful data). This was reported by Reuters last year as being due to pressure from the FBI. [1]

There is an argument to be made for convenience (especially for data recovery when a device is lost) as a contrasting factor when we talk about end to end encryption, but Apple doesn’t even give that choice to the user.

No HTTPS, seriously?

Shameless plug for mine: https://www.wordentropy.org
The OP shows that computers DO NOT have a better understanding. Its evident they have no understanding at all; they are simply doing math on pixels and latching on to coincidental patters of color or shading.

People recognize things by building a 3D model in their head, then comparing that to billions of experiential models, finding a match and then using cognition to test that match. "Is that a bird? No, its just a pattern of dog dropping smeared on a bench. Ha ha!"
"“We realized that the neural nets did not encode knowledge necessary to produce an image of a fire truck, only the knowledge necessary to tell fire trucks apart from other classes,” [Yosinski] explained."

This seems markedly different from biological neural networks. Is the difference one of network structure/algorithm or rather the fact that biological neural networks (in human image processing) actually have time and space to learn a lot about each individual image class?
Very nice; I've considered doing something similar and running some production sites on it from my home, but the limitation has always been my terrible Internet bandwidth through Spectrum.

We almost got Verizon gigabit fiber a few years ago... then AT&T ran fiber to the front of my neighborhood last year, and then never ran it to the houses. As it is, I'm stuck with 10 mbps uplink, which is not enough to be able to do most of what I would want to do with a more powerful local cluster.
Just like the top-level issue (overall mortality), this is likely multi-faceted and caused by several sub-issues. ODs can largely be traced to drug policies (overperscription, non-treatment, economic incentives to tamper with drugs, ect)

We have a pretty substantial "loser class". People that have jobs that don't pay well and aren't held in esteem. Many within this group don't feel they have a chance at upward mobility (and may be right). This has been especially hard on middle-aged people who've seen a tremendous growth in suicidality (which is still less than younger folks, but has seen explosive growth).

We don't treat mental illness and heavily stigmatize it. We engage in a number of habits that likely result in poor mental health. There's less face to face interaction. We spend large amounts of time sitting perfectly still in the same exact spaces, and have poor diets.

There's likely a ton of things that are contributing. I'm not sure there's a silver bullet, singular "cause" that's driving this.

Quick Bio:

Before freelancing I worked as a web developer in San Francisco, taught and developed teaching materials for web development at General Assembly, worked on String Theory during my PhD program, and was raised in a family of C and Java software engineers. As much as I love coding, I love helping people get the results they want. And more importantly, taking the time to really figure out what that is in the first place.

How does this compare to ngrok and can we combine them to host sites from our own servers behind a dynamic IP given by our ISP? Could be great for developers showing off their sites for instance.
Well, not really. Clock skew is tested, but the code paths in adjtimex() for handling a leap second are different.

This is why the 2005 leap second crashed every Linux 2.4 kernel worldwide as I recall.

Thankfully there's been a push toward leap smear (certainly on every system I run) which should obviate this type of problem entirely.
They're actually trying to fix C++. :)
Are we really sitting here comparing storming the capitol building and interrupting the certification of the electoral vote, to CHAZ? Pipe bombs were placed in capital buildings, the insurrectionists were armed and had zip ties. Five people died as a result of these actions. The idea that this is at all comparable to CHAZ, is ridiculous.
Accuracy ethics the incentive to build a good product and support it. Why bother investing in a new and better way of doing things if someone can copy you to the last icon and trick users into buying something cheaper. The one phone was sold as just like a iPhone to unsuspecting coustomers before ATT lost exclusivity.
Note many of the android fans hated the knock off just as much as Apple. The copied interface was not as polished as the standard Android is. Personally this seems a profound disservice to open source and android. They can stand on their own merit without stealing.
Glad to see QS getting updates. The new plugins are welcome...well they are new to me (QRCode and Viscosity)

I used to think this until I got a Kindle - I was almost determined that it wouldn't be as good as paper - but I now find it infuriating when I can't get something as an eBook.

For novels the difference (for me at least) is that the Kindle makes it easier to focus on actually reading.

I was surprised by this but turning a page is a small nudge of the thumb and your focus remains on the text, the device is light enough that holding it in the same position for an extended period or getting comfortable in bed or in a chair is far easier than for a book (even a paperback - and the difference between the Kindle and a hardback or trade paperback isn't even funny). Small barriers that you weren't even really aware of that are either taken away or noticeably reduced.

Of course there's all the additional stuff - buying books instantly nearly anywhere, carrying a whole library in your pocket and so on - but they turn out to be bells and whistles. The real difference is that it's just a better device for consuming text.

For reference books (at least large ones) the Kindle isn't there yet (layout, searching, colour and a few other key things) but without having hands on experience I can see the iPad could well remove most of those issues at which point searching and electronic notes, combined with reduced bulk (the iPad is heavy but not next to a 500 page programming book) likely give it an edge over paper.
There is no doubt that his device has a great potential!
This device brings extra customer experience and income boost for restaurants. Great idea! It will be a big success.
I have heard speculation that the abundance of synonyms may originate with the Japanese language. I was told that in Japanese (which I don't speak), you might use a different word for "one" when saying "one cat" versus "one house" or "one country," and that the word choice would be made based on which one "sounds best" in that context.

IF that's true (can anyone confirm?), it might have seemed fitting to Matz that using "collect" vs "map" would be an aesthetic choice for the programmer.
Remember that with jazz, if you make a mistake, just play it again a couple of times and then it looks like you meant it :)
Actaully - they don't. I spent some time working with Oracle at a major installation where they could not come up with a good enough transactional fail secarios because a single mainframe was being replaced by a multiple DB node distributed system.

Oddly - the project failed...

Just because a large company says they do something - does not mean they actually do. Distributed Transcation as said by RDBMS companies actually is 'Distributed as long as nothing goes wrong'.
Their title tag isn't terrible. It's highly descriptive of what they do and not repetitive or spammy, albeit a little long. Other brands decided that the branding was enough, while Microsoft wanted to be more descriptive.

If you want ugly corporate title tags, look at the pages for HP/Palm's products. They always seemed amateurish.

Good point. Functional programming => verb(subject, object). OOP => subject.verb(object). English => subject verb object (is this some Lisp-like construct?).
Thanks! Will fix this. The app definitely doesn't work on a small screen, but the homepage/pricing should.

FWIW - they are Webflow templates, but do a great job at making it easy to manage.
Log data processing is a pretty generic descriptor. Calling out specific workloads would be great, as would including 3rd-party benchmarks.
Taxing wealth -- albeit in this limited form -- is fairly attractive, and especially the taxation of land (rather than improvements) is. (We should be incentivizing folks to make efficient use of land.)
Ah ZZT, I spent so much time playing and coding ZZT games. So much fun.

Did you read the article? The author builds a very interesting mental model for reasoning about what purpose each provides. Basically, as you are alluding to, the choice between Monoliths and Microservices is a false dichotomy. By analyzing _why_ we feel we must choose between them and the benefits they each provide, the author providers the reader with a framework to understand how/when to make choices about software isolation. He approaches it from the perspective of Security, which tends to align well with overall "system complexity".

It was a very good read and I'd encourage you to grind through it all (and not skim ;) ).

This is BS. I used to work for a gigantic consumer product company, I took a seminar more than 10 years ago and the generic chain brands were already identified as a big risk because of how good they were in all sense (including presentation) and how much cheaper they were. Nothing to do with big data.
In the degenerate case where you restrict your diet to zero calories over an extended period of time, your metabolism will permanently down-regulate to burn zero calories.

I think most people agree that should be avoided.
Sometimes they'll do a follow up inspection to make sure. But yes, thanks for correcting this common misconception. Although I can see why people still think otherwise as the change in the law from what gress said wasn't shouted from the rooftops when it changed :)
> I can't see a significant cohort that would be unhappy that their governments stood the ground on their data not being sent to the US.

There are >400 million monthly active Facebook users in Europe today [1]. It is pretty absurd to think that a substantial amount of them would prefer losing access to Facebook over an EU mandate, especially considering most people are likely aware at this point that Facebook is using their data.

I don't think this issue is as clear cut as you and many other posters here see it. I find that the EU's decision can overwhelm legitimate services that may not be able to comply with this regulation, and I also see it as part of their intention to build a China-like firewall eventually - they are already trying to shutdown Telegram, for example.

Nitrous oxide, is that the same thing as "mad oxygen"?
We often see therapies that work on mice but that don't translate to humans, but I wonder how many treatments that would be super effective for humans were discarded because they didn't work in mice.
It feels like there are as many git workflows as developers. Personally, for almost all of my development I work on a single commit at a time. When I'm positive some changed code is going to be in the final commit I `git commit --amend` it to the tip of the main branch. Unstaged changes are what is in progress. I use `git show` to see the stuff I'm done with but haven't pushed and `git diff` to see the stuff that's in progress. Sometimes I want to undo something I've committed... I either do it manually or use aliases to help out. I rebase frequently to bring in changes from other devs.
From the very little experience I have of rare chromosomal disorders and attending a number of conferences dedicated to my sons specific condition, what i do see is people passionate to understand and improve things for their kids and for others primarily through research into conditions and from the dissemination of information. It is obvious that you are determined to do what it takes.

Please do try and make contact with Dr. Jannine Cody[1] who when faced with a not too dissimilar position to yours pretty much single handedly set about doing what she had to in order to understand and improve her daughters condition and in the process has created a worldwide network of families that meet at conferences and fund research.

Good luck, know that you do not stand alone. It might seem like you do, but you'll be surprised.

Presumably does nothing in regards to social media? Kids easily come across weird enough stuff on YouTube these days (elsagate..) not to mention twitter / reddit being full of porn.

Encouraging tech illiterate people to enter ID / CC details on shady websites sounds like a disaster waiting to happen even when you ignore the other more glaring issues surrounding the government and these sort of things in the past

They already paid MindGeek to go ahead with this kind of thing once, so who knows if the government is actually serious or if a minister just saw it as a convenient time to kill two birds with one stone by wasting some public money and distracting from Boris' ongoing scandals
Which is terrifying: the methane threat or that someone is addressing it?

We're in the stage of scaling up a process from lab scale to deployment scale. Most of the theoretical and experimental science in this area has been done at institutions in Germany, France and Denmark and while the company is international the engineering development is in SV.

TBH there's a lot more to do than just some engineering and validation: regulation, environmental studies, social acceptance, etc -- about as much as engineering itself.

The company is named Blue Dot Change (bluedotchange.com) -- trying to restore the planet to the lovely blue dot from the photos from space. Yes all startups ultimately need a new, less nerdly name. Right now the web site doesn't say much -- basically clip art and a little text.

Since this is HN:

- The architecture is nice: a large number of small devices, which allows a lot of scaling and all the other nice operational and cost features you'd expect (but no, no need for some sort of k8s to manage them :-).

- Yes, we're hiring: experienced ME, EE, and ChemE; in a few months we'll need a couple of more deep embedded/instrumentation programmers.

- And we are continuing to fundraise, by pre-selling carbon credits. Since we are making relatively small devices, we don't need one of those crazy $100MM rounds you'd need to develop a new kind of oil refinery or nuke. If we do decide we need that for some crazy phase of scaling we can to that then.
Well money speaks, who would own them? The ones actually are willing to pay the price.

It is not other people's say unfortunately.
Yes my profile is somewhat geriatric. The company is Blue Dot Change and there is more about it in a reply to a parallel comment to yours.

edit: I just looked at my profile and it appears not to have been updated since I created my account

Quite a good insight. The Dutch design for the motorist last. Hence cycling is prevalent.
Interesting idea. "kids with nothing to do get up to no good" has become "kids with nothing to do go on facebook / reddit"
Nice design. I'm not exactly clear about what's going on in the sample screenshot, though; when the block has two sections, are those supposed to be two messages joined together (since they occurred at the same time), or one message with additional detail?

Also, there are two grammatical errors that are a bit jarring: "We're located the upstream issue" and "Not know what happened" (possibly that's a joke?)
As Neil Gaiman put it, "The only person out of all the science fiction writers who was completely right was Ballard." http://thequietus.com/articles/01631-neil-gaiman-interviewed
I said much choice, maybe it is stronger than what I really meant (English is not my native language). He certainly had a choice, but there were accounts from witnesses that complaining about the usage of slave labors or conditions in death camps were not really accepted (as in you would at least put to jail if you would, which did not end well during the nazis)

If you compare his behavior to e.g. doctors in Japan (who often came from the most prestigious universities in Japan, and were quite brilliant), who personally willingly tortured, killed, infected people, including young children, I would say there is no comparison. Some of those people supposedly took part of the biological american program after the second WW (still mostly classified AFAIK), and Japan does not even recognize the crimes yet I believe.

[EDIT] One of the former member of Unit 731 used to tour in Japan (not sure if he still does) to explain the attrocities he commited: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Yuasa. It is even more gruesome that what you could imagine from what you would usually know about nazi crimes.
Knowing the laws wouldn't necessarily make the system deterministic, though. You'd need hidden variables (and non-local ones, to boot).

As best we can tell, sometimes certain information doesn't exist so you may very well get something truly random that averages out to something that looks like what we think of as deterministic, classical behavior.
That's one impressive piece of vaporware... The first paragraph suggests it's coming in Windows 8...
I already knew a thing or two about von Braun before this thread got started, what I genuinely wonder about is if we are just mixing up terms here.

When you say 'he did not have much choice' I read that as 'he was forced to do this at gunpoint'. And even in that extreme case there are still choices, just not very many happy endings.

There are plenty of scientists that would do the most unethical things if it means they get to work on their pet project.

From that wikipedia article you quote there:

"We knew that we had created a new means of warfare, and the question as to what nation, to what victorious nation we were willing to entrust this brainchild of ours was a moral decision more than anything else. We wanted to see the world spared another conflict such as Germany had just been through, and we felt that only by surrendering such a weapon to people who are guided by the Bible could such an assurance to the world be best secured."

The hypocrisy in there is so thick it's almost comical.
