Laws permit privacy.

Secrecy doesn't imply privacy, you can do things secretly, like for example bring weed with you in a secret pocket, that doesn't mean police can't stop you and do a search on you if a dog smells it.

They can't ask you to reveal who you're casually talking on the phone though without a warrant, even if the conversation is not secret.

You can use encryption to enforce secrecy, that's true, but not privacy.

If you are constantly messaging with a known drug dealer or someone wiretapped, even if the conversation is secret, your right to privacy goes out the window.

Privacy means you close the door when you go to the bathroom, secrecy means you don't tell anybody where are you going and why.
In Spanish you can win almost all gameplays with "aires" or "seria" as the starting word.
It seems they have increased their output, and you have to sieve through more carefully. In many fields the overlap between the many books from the same publisher about the same topic can be pretty annoying, and this is now the case with O'Reilly as well, apparently. Just tried to find some good books in the data science/R/scipy space, and they have massively increased their portfolio there. Also, the prices seem to be much higher (inflation?).

Something that always bugged me and still is the case is that O'Reilly publishes many books with a general title, which then turn out to be basically tutorials for one specific library/language/ecosystem (especially if the technology in question is less popular, otherwise they would use it for advertising on the cover).
When any, some, or all of the following happens:

1. The crypto bubble (if it is that) collapses in a way that doesn't just make it worth less, but like an old fashion no one wants any more.

2. More chip fabs open up and clear the backlog.

3. Makers somehow make a GPU useless for mining but fine for gaming. I've read that disabling an instruction here or there might do it. No idea if that's true, but conceivably there could be some way to do this. In current year, I can imagine some hamhanded phonehome/secure module system that won't work except on signed code, which of course all the big game makers would have no trouble implementing. All of this will probably fail to do anything except deter hobbyists, but isn't that how it goes?

For the time being, I'm not unhappy getting off the constant-upgrade hamster wheel for a while. There are very few games that actually need the latest GPU and none that I personally care about, but I'm not a gamer.
I can't imagine trying unknown drugs on myself. That's so risky. But people did it and found out the hard way like with Bromo-DragonFLY:

subjective effects have been described as “like being dragged to hell and back again. Many times. It is the most evil [thing] I’ve ever tried. It lasted an eternity.” Oh and it lasts up to 3 days. No gracias.
Don't do this. I learned the hard way because I ended up pushing earwax into the canal, eventually forming a blockage. I couldn't hear out of my ear and had to go to an ENT, where he use vacuum suction to take some of it out (the deepest he could go without risking damage to the ear drum), and then I had to do two weeks of hyrogen peroxide drops (Debrox) to help liquify the earwax. Not being able to hear out of one ear is miserable, even if temporary.

Your ears are self-cleaning. They automatically push earwax (slowly) to the outside. A Q-tip is only meant for the outer rim of your ear. There's a saying ENTs use I found while researching my problem: "nothing smaller than your elbow should enter your ear". My ENT told me to stop using the Q-tips. If you find your ears produce a lot of wax, you can just use a tissue on the outside. Or if you're willing to heed the warnings, carefully use a Q-tip, but don't insert it into your ear canal.

(Throwaway because I don't like mixing personal medical info with my regular account)
If you don't put something out there half-assed, you'll wait too long to ship.

Nothing is ever truly finished. You just ship it.
For me (the differences) --

Rent [1]: 300/mo = 3.6k

Transportation [2]: 100/mo = 1.2k

Food [3]: 250/mo = 3k

Total: 20.7k

Obviously that leaves a lot of things out, but that is what the other $14K+ is for. If you can't live on 35K, I'm guessing it's because you're either carrying too much debt, or you've convinced yourself you need to spend $X/mo on a car/living in <expensive city>/whatever when you really don't.

[1] Right now I actually am renting an entire house with one roommate and we each pay $125/mo, but we are renting from a friend. Before I moved here, I paid about $240 a month. I could easily find a place under $300/mo here in Columbus, OH.

[2] I don't have a car right now; instead I use public transportation or ride with my roommate or other friends. Even giving my friends gas money and renting a car once a month or so would only come to 1-1.5K per year.

[3] I could easily get by on about $125/mo for groceries. Doubling that allows me to go out a couple times a week as well.
Even if that's true, they're not illegal from, say, Ireland. Yet Irish citizens can't get to the site because the FBI took it.

The US gets to seize assets anywhere in the world if they have some connection to an alleged US crime?
I want this as a monome app.
Take a 5 mg of melatonine at 21:30 and after thirty minutes turn off the lights and the computer, lay down in bed and close your eyes.

After few days of such treatment you'll be more morning person than you've ever been.

Don't try to stop taking melatonine unless you are very strong willed (which you are probably not).

You may want to reduce the dose to 1 mg and 3 mg if you notice it's enough.
Good point! Fixed it in the main article too. Thanks.
If you already read market-ticker.org (or zerohedge or something similar), there's nothing for you here. Otherwise, this is a reasonable thing for you to read.
None starting with 'sh'?
The post is pure garbage, a lot of half baked myths that were debunked a long time ago.

For a different viewpoint, from an actual economist, these posts might be interesting:

The primary expense of any government is security, both local and national. Police and Military. Protect the property of the individual. Why should Bill and his buddies pay for an army when we do it for them? Taxes should be based on value received, which means that those with the most property get the most value, so they should pay the highest taxes, but in our country the opposite is in practice. We working stiffs, with very little property, pay the lion;s share of the police and military budget. ,
It's not actually 1 out of 2 for the president - there's the whole primary process, and before that, there's the ballot signatures process. I'd bet that each election cycle, at least several dozen, probably several hundred or thousand, "apply". Most get culled by the need for ballot signatures.
Thanks a lot - this is the first time I actually create a melody that sounds good and it is sooo easy
In the 1970s a Las Vegas millionaire tried to claim his own nation when he discovered a coral reef that was exposed to the air at low tide, so he decided to build his own island:

Didn't turn out too well.
It's not that complicated, Jigar Shah is the biggest proponent: pay farmers to sequester carbon in their soil. It's much more cost effective than any other carbon-negative solution other than planting massive forests, which we ALSO need to do. Along with forests and carbon-negative-farms, we simply need to innovate and make policies to end coal, end oil, and end natural gas, slowly but surely over the century. If we do these things, we have a chance of being alright.
My email is fine and with my spam filter, only the good messages get through.

Also, business communication in every corner of this earth relies on email. That is not going to be going away any time soon.

The younger generation will have to use email when they get jobs.
Fundamentally, I think because the super-rich have great quality of life and freedom in most countries. They do tend to emigrate out of bad places (Russia, etc.) where they made their fortunes and move to places like the US and UK where they can comfortably enjoy them. If you have $10b in assets, paying 20-30% taxes on your annual investment income ($500mm to $1b/yr capital gains, so maybe a few hundred million in taxes) in exchange for first-world quality of life is quite worthwhile. You can always use offshore vehicles to defer recognizing gains, too.

Once you're already wealthy, there is a lot less reason to care about taxes on income.
@blueslurpee: I'm definitely biased, but agree that Chapel would be a fun language to explore, particularly if you're interested in looking at integrated task- and data-parallelism within a language or distributed computing with a partitioned global namespace. If you do, feel free to reach out with questions/comments/requests on Stack Overflow, Discourse, GitHub, Gitter, etc. [1]

This is a fair point. It's pretty bad that we have learner drivers on the road. Can't think of anything more public beta-y than that. Maybe trainee doctors?
I also think there is a certain fear or outrage around this stuff which is fueled by "technology" or the unknown.

People are some of the worst drivers around, they cause all kinds of problems with cluelessness and inattention and they crash and die and kill and injure in all sorts of stupid ways. They get drunk, high, check their phone, fall asleep, speed, show off

I think it's great that there are still companies out there throwing research into moonshot types of research projects like this. Automobile deaths are perhaps the biggest and most persistent pandemic we've faced, we've been facing for a hundred years, and it kills and maims young and old alike. Millions of people dead over the years.

Many were willing to relax some of the protocols around vaccine testing to bring the covid vaccines in to use earlier, put mandates and coercion around them, and yes some suffered adverse reactions and even died from them. Still, it was thought to be a reasonable compromise by many.

I hope we don't go the other way on other technology that can advance society and potentially save lives just because not everything goes perfectly from the start, or we get stuck in the pharmaceutical corporations = bad mindset.

Not to say there perhaps shouldn't be more regulation around it, but a serious and careful study of risks and benefits I think is appropriate rather than handwringing and outrage.
I'm in the same camp. Working in MS-free zones. Obviously I have technical biases that supported the switch. BUT, the main reason is the managements that insist on only using MS products tend to be less far welcoming of innovations and intolerant towards staff who question the status-quo and suggest improvements.
Have to insert this:

(Author here) I agree, but I think there is some applicability of the Kelly Criterion to startups (at least qualitativey) in explaining why an entrepreneur who is all-in on a company may be more inclined to take an exit than their investors, who have spread their bets.
Ultimately big CDN is the only way to win for DDoS.
Each write is striped across all of the disks. For a stripe to be completely written, all disks must finish writing the data. Thus your max write IOPS equals that of the slowest drive in the vdev.
The author complains about the paucity of black women at Google but does not mention what percent of bachelor's, master's, and PhD degrees in computer science are awarded to black women. One should not expect the fraction of Google technologists to be much higher.
You could choose to unfollow or even block the President if you want. That would be maximal control for the individual. In this case Twitter has made the choice for you.
Doesn’t Section 230 actually protect them? Without it, they’d have no “safe harbor” protections against his account and would be forced to proactively remove stuff and would overmoderate to avoid lawsuits.
That would make sense for LPDDR4 but it apparently claims to have a 128 byte cache line size and I'm not sure how to square that with 16 bit channel width.
Do you use yours in native or scaled resolution?
Defining functions and data structures is all that programming is, hence debugging is exactly redefining classes (and functions).

Your question about not needing to restart the runtime ("how often do you have to do this?") seems to imply that you expect the common answer to be "(almost) never" -- that expectation is not surprising since most languages don't even support this kind of debugging!

That's exactly the point of the author: to demonstrate a different way of debugging that's afforded by Lisp and to demonstrate that it can be incredibly powerful. It's just something that is perhaps unfamiliar to programmers who are more used to other programming languages where the debugging facilities are different.
I would also add that Matrix, unlike any of the other networks discussed, offers the ability to bridge to all other networks being discussed so if you so desire you can have your open network cake and communicate with people on walled garden networks too.

Not worth the trouble for me and I don't even want to have accounts in these platforms or let them collect my conversations, but the path at least exists.
Provoking and supporting armed insurrection and occupation of the Capitol as a lame-duck president in order to overturn an election is far, far more dangerous than anything you've just described.
Also, are MDS attacks mitigated or not? I seem to remember that on their website [0] it said that the mitigations were not possible or extremely hard, but now it says that Intel has released patches. I'm wondering if those patches actually mitigate MDS attacks.

Ha! I felt awkward typing it, but the GP really read like he feels about Rust vs C++ the way someone would feel about Haskell vs Python.
Possession seems to be the law in more remote areas.
You could have phrased that better. A lack of optimization could be a real problem but attributing it to "clueless people gaining power" or calling users of game engines "computer-illiterates" just smells of gatekeeping.
The vast majority of consumers will file a chargeback under the wrong reason, or give insufficient evidence, or will lose the chargeback due to an automated system siding with the merchant because there is a tracking number present.

For example, someone who receives such a crappy knock off bag may tell their bank that they "didnt receive" what they bought. Then the merchant provides the bank with a tracking number and wins the case. Disputing product quality or claiming deceptive advertising are less likely to work out for the buyer.

If you want to win a chargeback as a buyer, file it as a fraudulent charge (implying your card details were stolen).
UK/Ireland are pretty interchangeable about the seperators, but I'd guess D/M/Y has a strong lead over second place d/m/y, while d.m.y is trailing in last.
Even in Canada, Pepsi is seen as superior by most of the population.
I've worked in newsrooms and disagree with this saintly image of truth-seekers. Yes, the rank and file reporters are not looking to grind an axe; even if they were, they'd be too busy to do it. The well-known writers have huge egos and strong opinions. The editors are even worse.

Also, please don't cast aspersions like "only seems accurate" and "conspiracy theories." There is no conjecture in this editorial: It's somebody's opinion about recent, real developments in major newspapers.

Comic books shops are suffering the same problem. It's not just computers.
> and API Gateway for an optimal blend of performance and scalability

Curious what HN's thoughts are on API Gateway. I've been very frustrated with it. I find a plain ALB simpler to work with and less weird. Sometimes to get API Gateway to pick up a change (via terraform) we have to log into the AWS Console to toggle a switch just to get our unrelated change to get picked up.
our team (C#) did an extended proof of concept in F# about ten years ago. we found that it was easier to hero-code in F# but harder to work as a team over time in F#. we ended up embracing a lot of the functional paradigm in C#, which seems like a very good compromise.
To give some numbers to play with, here's an official simulator for France: https://mon-entreprise.fr/simulateurs/salaire-brut-net

Sorry it's in French, but very simple. Choose by month or year, and you have in order: total cost (what the company pays), before tax salary (what's on the contract), "net" salary (ignore that), after tax salary (what they employee actually gets).

You can see that the employee gets about half of the total employer cost.
See this report about the origin of each basic RISC-V instruction:

https://riscv.org/technical/specifications/risc-v-genealogy/

Of course, the various extensions might violate current patents (I would guess that packed SIMD and cryptography extensions are particularly at risk). But the basic ISA does not use anything that was not already widely adopted by 2003.
It won't matter.

Eventually the governments who support technology will win - either via war or economic advantage.
If it's not null-safe I will avoid it for new projects.

Lambda's: great! But real null-safety, strong type safety, proper sum types, pattern matching/ type destructuring, are now my requirements.

I'd say Kotlin is the language with the most adoption that ticks the boxes. And it is (not surprisingly) an OO lang.
Hey I really appreciate your help. You're onto something. This resonates with the data I've been gathering. I'm going to double down on this target and run additional experiments. Thanks again.
I can understand how they seamlessly integrate with their own products (and I like Vault a lot) - not sure how it'd work with other secret backends if you'd prefer them over Vault. It's also fine you picked an individual item of a long list to rebut what I said. But this is what I said:

>Perhaps in few areas there are some support but it's not what Nomad intends to do anyway

Look, I think we can agree that K8s have many features that Nomad don't and that's just how it is (not good or bad, just different). This comes with added complexity. If you wanted to have all these features in Nomad it'd cost you a lot to the point of being impractical. "I don't need all of those" then don't use K8s - but then don't complain when you bring a vast machine that does 1000 things to do 100 and complain it's too complex.
created one for myself as well. Though a bit hesitant to release. May get a take down notice from them.
Not a 737 Max, just to be clear
Freedom of speech is under attack again, or still. A trend that has been going on for at least 2000 years since the Greks, but not being able to say things might be in the near future no longer be as common as it was in recent times. No matter whether you agree with Trump or not, silencing an oponent in a debate will only reduce the quality of decisions made by a lack of critical oponent views. The more censorship, the less efficient the outcomes of decision making will be as the quality of arguments can no longer be weighted due to the absence of dissent. Also the more censorship, the less engagement in public debate there will be.
The treatment is basically a bone marrow transplant, which would typically use donor cells from another person; CRISPR lets you use the patient's marrow instead, hopefully reducing rejection and other issues.

You extract marrow and CRISPR it to get rid of the problem gene. Then you kill off all of the bone marrow in the patient, and replace it with the new stuff. That's a cure.
I was involved in a Blackberry portathon. They were offering USD 100 for each of the approved apps submitted at that time. This incentive surely didn't help. I remember participants there, raising concerns about 20-30 different apps by same user converting one currency to another. But it seems BB wanted quantity so badly that they are ready to compromise on the quality side. Infact they were actively promoting a 3rd party tool Blackberry app generator (or something similar). Which was just a app generator packaging single RSS feed as an app.
Can you post an example? The playground doesn't seem to be working right now.
Well, they stick around for years. When I found the mail order catalogs they were 3 years old.

Amazon.com runs on a lot of 20 year old code because they've never been able to upgrade it, because there's so much cruft. Amazon menusand all that create cruft.

There are bugs I fixed in 2006 that came back in 2009 and are still there-- the team that I was on when I fixed them no longer exists because the people got pulled off for nonsense "products" like menus etc that eventually got canned.

It's not just that they are trying things, the things they are trying take engineers out of their key talent pool-- which is pretty shallow to begin with because Amazon is a very anti-engineering company. (Really they hate engineers at the executive level.)

Most of the site at this point is cruft while engineers run around chasing nonsense that will never be in production more than a year.
You don't need such a heavy theorethical machinery (I mean relativity) to get to the point that distributed transactions are not possible (for some values of possible.)

Here's the link to the proof that no deterministic protocol achieves distributed certainty in presence of network failures, even for two parties only: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Generals%27_Problem#For_det...

And yeah, the misconceptions around that are huge. I once had to expose a totally-not-database-related API as a JDBC-compliant driver because someone insisted it would provide transactional consistency.
My flatmate uses a HTC Wildfire which is quite cheap, runs android 2.2 and is pretty fast, I'd recommend it for a budget android phone. Only letdown is it's tiny screen.

I myself use a HTC Desire HD, which probably isn't in your budget :p
How does the 'paid work' part relate to the average salaries in these countries?

You've got the best chance if you do something like this. No wires = no evil countries cutting wires.
Incredible!

I actually had the idea of building an LED clock (using standard LEDs as pixels, rather than 7-segment display) a while back without using IC's.

This has pretty much destroyed my idea. Is that really the minimum necessary? Holy cow.
Actually, I have, and it's perfectly adequate if you're using a netbook as a netbook. (The biggest number of Windows complaints I see on the eeeuser.com forums involve people who have 64-bit driver problems, for example.)

I mean, if you're comparing running a Chrome browser under Windows 7 Starter with running the Chrome "OS" on top of Linux, it seems to me the biggest difference will be the option of persistent storage, not the polish of the user experience.

That said, I have two netbooks and both are dual-booting Windows 7 Starter and Ubuntu 10.10 desktop.
