As an Internet user in Singapore, I have a very close experience with Internet Latency. On average, even an excellent Internet connection (Fibre 100 Mbit/s) in Singapore has about 240ms latency when communicating with a US server at West, or about 320ms at East.

Skype calls with these latencies are still acceptable. However, there are many websites using SSL without a cache, and causing the overhead time to be 3 times longer (due to much more handshakes).

Unfortunately, Basecamp uses a lot of redirects (3 redirects to a Whiteboard). This means that I have to wait for 2-3 seconds for each page to start loading!

I know light speed is not something we can change, but the key is, don't use SSL unnecessarily. Even if you have to use SSL, try to implement a cache to save users' time.

I believe that many Internet users outside of US are just like me, start to hate HTTPS websites intuitively. To us, they are just much much slower.

Singapore has one of the fastest Internet connections in the world, especially among English-speaking countries (US website visitors). But latency is always a very big problem that many people are not aware of. I'm surprised that this issue was mentioned as far as 15 years ago!

Edit: spelling, expression.
Exactly my thoughts! How is Android compared to iPhone as a single smartphone?
I agree with most of what you say. It's just that culture in the US isn't nearly as homogeneous as culture in Japan, and I have my doubts now as to whether the poster in question was talking about US as a whole or the culture (read race) of a specific demographic. Also, your examples here entirely sidestep the subject, which is crime and recidivism, things that are also found in Japan, probably lower than in the US but probably still higher than in Norway.
Interesting you mentioned AX210.

I have been asking and waiting for a response on WiFi 6E. Because right now AX210 doesn't have 6Ghz turned on. And its WiFi Certified document [1] does not have a 6Ghz listed. The WiFi Alliance also does not specifically mention 6Ghz support as being the requirement of WiFi 6E certified. I am under the impression for Intel, a software update will come once 6Ghz has been truly opened up in US. But this will be a first to see product adding new Frequency Spectrum support after its FCC testing and approval.

The reason I ask and gone though these trouble is because I saw a few, namely Xiaomi released an WiFi 6E router with no support of 6Ghz.

> I can’t imagine a future without it.

I would be surprised if there was a (reasonably near) past without it.
First, much respect to you for getting out and trying to help. I admire that a TON. Especially because i'm sure you know firsthand the difference it can make.

I'm hoping my work with Penmate (http://penmateapp.com) can help improve the library as well. In addition to helping keep families connected, we really want to improve the resources inmates have in prison, in particular books, magazines and learning resources. I'll be blogging more about it soon, definitely know what you mean here.
Only $2B out of those $19 were paid in actual cash, right? So the remaining $17B can still disappear at any time?
Make sure that you don't tip your hand. If they know that it's your name dot com, they're going to have significant pricing power (you can't get your name dot com anywhere else). If they think that it's just a tentative pen name dot com that you haven't started using yet, you have significant pricing power (you can just pick another name).
> Venture capital is not a sure footing to build a business on - at least not as sure as selling pizzas.

You're right, of course, in that technology is not as predictable of a need as pizzas. But pizzas also aren't very hard to make or sell. They're a commodity, which means demand is always there, but it's tough to differentiate and make real money in them (because competition drives prices down).

Google and Facebook, on the other hand, are monopolies of sorts. (Don't believe that? Ask Google Plus).

While there are many different factors involved (and there are companies on much-less-secure footing than Facebook, Google or Pinterest), I think it's dangerous to extend the anecdote of, "I download adblock" to the rest of the human population. I don't use adblock, and I'm relatively tech savvy. Nor do most of my friends.

So let's look at the ad-supported companies right now, but let's talk real numbers, not speculative ones.

Facebook brought in $3.85B in revenue during the last quarter of 2014. Google reported consolidated revenues of $15.42 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Those aren't hand-wavy "maybe someday" numbers, that's cold hard cash.

Reddit, while much more nascent as far as making actual money goes (they would argue they're playing the long game and not optimize for earnings right now) brought in just over $8 million. They're not quite profitable, but they're not far either.

There are a lot of forces that change whether or not something is valuable and what the venture financing market look like, but this time (as opposed to 1999) there are a few companies that are bringing in incredible amounts of real revenue.
SETI is falling for its own kind of "god of the gaps." Oh, no aliens in this radio spectrum? How about that? How about analyzing it differently. How about we do the analysis on a bunch of desktops via a screensaver? Now near IR? SETI comes off as such a useless endeavor, especially when you consider we couldn't even detect a civilization like ours. We'd need something like a planet sized antenna to pick up stray signals from even a trivial distance, by space terms.

Thankfully, its cheap and doesn't divert from worthy pursuits, but I wish geeks were more interested in things like a radio telescope on the far side of the moon, something that is almost never publicized or fanboyed, than OMG ALIENZ!

Though I agree with you that it's important to stay positive and work to create rather than destroy, I share many people's concerns about potential misallocation of investment capital in tech startups right now, because the current model largely depends on it for it's continued sustainability. VCs need liquidity events in order to make a return, which are provided by going public, or by being acquired by companies that have already gone public and thus have large slush funds for acquisitions.

If that goes away, it could be a problem for the current model, because it's not designed to work for small success or failure mitigation. So if the stock market bottom falls out, it potentially takes down a lot of very promising startups that could have been successful and profitable with a different strategy. Their failures may not even be their fault, but simply bad market timing. This isn't a new thing, of course - it's been happening since the Panic of 1873. We're not exceptional to this risk, but I don't think we should ignore it.
32k people. 32k.
It is a common dysfunction in western cultures to lift and try to expand the ribcage when breathing in, while dragging the gut in. It results in a much smaller breathing volume, lots of weird, unnecessary physical stresses. Kind of the same kind of thing as people bending their spine weirdly backward when told to stand up straight.
You flip it landscape and turn off autorotation.
yes, but the original question was "how many heartbeats". First source in the link says 75bpm and 2w, 245J/2w = 122.5 seconds or ~2 minutes of 75bpm, 150 beats.
Only to an extent. Rock Band 3 added a "Pro Mode" which, on the highest difficulty, required playing the song note-for-note. The pro mode keyboard and guitar peripherals double as actual MIDI controllers.
I made this for a neighbor who is a ER nurse and told me they ran out of "proper" suits. It's better than nothing.

The idea is that you can keep throwing out the outer suit but keep the rest.
We have an excellent exhibit of Mawson's expedition at our city's museum. They have a replica of the cabin, all laid out with period correct equipment and stocks they would have had, along side some great video and audio exhibit pieces. They have the sled and dogs, and a piece of wall that's chilled and iced over so you can feel the intensity of the cold they would have endured. It's all very immersive.
True when I was growing up, recently it's an over-under. Hard freeze isn't reliable until first week of January.
Hi, I made this, if you have questions ask away!
Every year 130~million are born 55~60million die. Corona virus is not going to effect the population growth rate at all. Infact because of the lock downs chances are 9-10 months from now the number of babies being born will be a lot higher than normal.
Further elaboration: "Doctors chose stem cells from an individual who had an unusual genetic profile: a mutation inherited from both parents that resulted in CD4 cells that lacked the CCR5 receptor."

IIRC, there are only a handful of embryonic stem cell lines currently in active use. If one of them happened to be resistant to HIV I think we would have heard of it before now.
No, I understand. I used monkeypatching to work around some problems with numerics libraries in Ruby too. But let's face it, it's not as good a technique as this. And I didn't even touch on the ability to fold a closure around a class instance using (reify ...) or the differences between declaring methods in deftype or using extend-type.

There is a lot of power in this relatively simple concept without going into the gnarly tilt-the-whole-world problems that monkeypatching introduces.
Huh? I quit my job. I buy a lawnmower (let us assume I planned that far ahead to save up enough money to buy a lawnmower). I knock on doors and say "Hey, I'll mow your lawn for ten dollars". I mow the damn lawns myself. I have a business. What's the problem here?
You honestly think reduced police presence has no effect? If you put that in context with race-based rhetoric characterising Asians as part of "white supremacy", it makes as much sense as the other thing. How about a third hypothesis: this idea went viral and people figure they can get away with it now. Or a fourth: the people doing this probably should already have been in jail in many cases.
It does depend a bit on the language server. There are a few language servers that are nicer than the equivalent IntelliJ plugins, though that is generally not even remotely the case for JVM languages that aren't Clojure. AFAICT, the state of the union for Java is that it's not habitable without an IDE, and the only habitable IDE is IntelliJ.
I find it tone deaf because the vast majority of people are getting by on much, much less.

I said $200K isn't that much because I was responding to the article saying $200K is in the 1%-5% and those making that much use offshore tax shelters and other practices. $200K immediately becomes what, $140K or less after taxes? My original comment still stands; I don't think someone making $140K is in the top percentages of wealth and hiding their money in offshore schemes.

So to say it isn’t much comes across as oblivious to the way most people live, and potentially not aware of the problems that the average person faces.

I spent a decade working in the nonprofit sector with low-income, homeless, addicts, etc., with my first job at $24K and my last job in the sector at $55K. I think I'm somewhat aware of what the average person faces. You and others on my post have covered things adequately, but I would just add that sometimes things aren't about lifestyle choices/sometimes there are no "good" choices -- If you have to pay $3K for rent in an average apartment because it's close to your new job that pays more, really the only other option besides not taking the job is to move farther out, but then you pay more in transportation, insurance, parking, etc.
IDK about FB, I always avoided it like a toxic plague.

But on Twitter, there seem to still be work-arounds. I use lists set to Private, curated for specific experts on particular topics, and many top and/or obscure experts post regularly.

This provides a reasonably straightforward chronological feed, curated to my interest, with well-tuned news and links to key analysis. Just NEVER use the main Home feed (which they do push on you).

IDK how long that feature will stay unpolluted by toxic algorithms, but Jack does seem a bit less determined than Zuck to pollute society.
ethz going _strong_ these days on HN
Some people are a bit better at it, however it's still mainly a gamble. There are so many factors behind it. For instance,what Uber Eats or Deliveroo do today, we used to have about 15 years ago in Lithuania.You could call any taxi driver and say: 'I need a little service'.The driver then asked for specifics, how many bottles of alcohol,what type,etc.go buy it from the shop and deliver to your home.Everybody just assumed it and none had an idea how such a thing would grow into multibillion dollar industry.
I don't know... The opposite of doing what the author does would be what? Arrange his work so that it's not all his problems? Adopt the mindset of "code to spec, collect paycheck"? To me, the author comes across as caring. They care about the actual value of the work they're doing, beyond their salary. We desperately need more people like that in this industry, because a lot of problems essentially boil down to it being full of people who don't care in the slightest.
Why couldn't you collect the solar energy from the outside of the window and put up blinds to block the light from the inside of the window? Putting up blinds won't generate any electricity.
I wonder if this concept (corneal reflection photography) can be used for an eye-tracking interface for computers. Can you match the segment of the image of the corneal reflection that is above the pupil with what is on the screen to figure out where/at what the user is looking?
What this analysis is missing, is that there are multiple times more iOS users (and therefore potential customers) than there are Mac Users. They set a lower price on iOS with a hope for making it up in unit volume. However, they're realizing now that unit volume being similar to Mac, prices must go up. I agree it's not as valuable a platform as the Mac, but it's also probably not 1/5 as valuable.
My dependencies compilation for a huge project:

So nice!
Default for root is 'html' according to the docs (which is a relative path wrt /usr/share/nginx), not /etc/nginx. http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#root

I guess it may depend on how nginx was configured during build. But for example on Debian this is not an issue.
No, half the sarcasm is at the expense of Bloomberg.

This is the people "sticking it to the hedge funds" pouring in.
Clearly a typo given the following sentence...
> You can't actually use this one to exploit anything

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
> If you're not American, you will be forced to hand over 3% of your 80% revenue cut to PayPal.

That's wild considering they're headquarters is in Ottawa, Canada.
The argument that mothers can educate their kids seems good.
Indeed. That's a common annoyance when trying to paste something from a site into gmail. Especially if you manage to copy part of a table, it's almost impossible to get rid of it again. Or you have to resort to first copying it somewhere else, then back, to "filter" it.

Things like that cause me to hate rich text editors without "underwater" view.
Big Boring System led me to reminisce and find an old school WWIV BBS and standalone Tradewars game accessible via telnet:

Every enterprise manager's dream!
Why does he have a bulletin board in the beginning of his book?
If squatting Twitter names becomes even marginally profitable you can be sure that squatters will be setting up bots that will monitor the availability of deactivated usernames that were popular in the past and that as soon as these are released they will be taken. A delay of the kind you suggested will not stop the bot writers.
I applaud you for teaching your daughter trig. Nobody has ever "taught" me trig and I have to constantly (re)look up identities and such.
It's not discouraging if you graph it too, so that you can see it in perspective.
don't think so.

I know he has a social network for families with Mark Bao and an app store for business apps.

But at most those are 10-50K a year businesses...at least in the foreseeable future.
For geometry and trig perhaps high school math books are the best resource.

What do you mean by college algebra? Do you mean abstract algebra, like group theory? In any case geometry and trigonometry is a prerequisite for college level math.
Yes, they vary widely. If you control for certain variables, they can give you decent directional information.

One of the biggest factors in the accuracy of the older Tanita brand scales (this is the brand I have had for many years) is your hydration. For example, if you weigh right when you get out of the shower (even toweled dry), your reported body fat will be much lower than your reported body fat before the shower.

They are also sensitive to callouses on your feet.

My brother reports much more consistent results with a handheld body fat analyzer, but I've never tried one on a consistent basis.
I had d- grades in hs algebra but I was lucky enough to find a very cool Polish Math Professor in college that got me into kicking ass in math..A+ all math courses in college often at 8 and 12 credit hours during summer 8 and 12 week sessions..

The key is working wide range of problems and feedback. You get both of those than you will pick up fast. Part of that feedback is self invented..graph everything..
I tried the fruitarian diet recently and lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks. Of course, how much you lose is highly dependent upon your current weight and body fat %.

The fruitarian diet is where you only eat fruits and vegetables and drink water and 100% pure juices. Avocados have the protein you need, and you can do without starch for 2 weeks.

It really cleanses your body and leaves you feeling great! I'd suggest doing a fruitarian diet once every few months for cleansing purposes.
If you come to C# with a Java background you may easily be fooled to think it is similar to int and Integer or boolean and Boolean in case you are not aware that .NET has a unified type system. And, by the way, I hate these aliases because they mess up the look of the code - not only the syntax highlighting color which is easy to change, but now there are lower and upper case type names. Soooo ugly!
I'm not associated with them, but they asked me for an eclipse screenshot if I had one, when I reported this issue to them and suggested that they create a workaround in their UI. (FWIW it's an annoying issue, but not enough for _me_ to stop using lambdas.)

If you have time, could you make the lambda a multi line chunk of code, so that it's clear that the breakpoint is inside the lambda? I'll pass it on to them. Thanks!
Apparently Piwik is blocked too. I think that's a shame, as in my opinion self-hosted tracking solutions should be acceptable.
There are so many formats - is there anniversary format for addresses? In all seriousness, this is where XML and XSDs would really shine!
I like to explain programming by comparing it to writing a book.
You can't change the plot-lines overnight without having to throw away a few chapters, as well does the plot always have an impact on the story that builds up to it.
Starting to write a book without a good grasp of what story you want to write will probably just be a time-suck.

Both are a produce of intellectual activity and require adequate understanding of the goal in order to streamline the product.
Doing my own thing in languages I like using was what made me enjoy it.

What you're doing now sucks. HTML and CSS are boring to write and, IMO, are better suited to being generated by a program than being explicitly written by hand. Vanilla Javascript isn't so terrible, but what you typically do with it is boring. PHP is terrible in so many ways I don't feel like naming them, and the type of thing you do with PHP is also fantastically boring.

You need to pick a high-level language that makes implementing things easy. You don't want to be bogged down in the details of implementation. You just want to think of something and have it work, right? Get started using Python/Lisp/Ruby/Perl/Whatevermakesyouhappy. Find a language that meshes with how you think and go with it.

Don't think I'm placing too much emphasis on language choice though. The important thing is to do something you want to do. Start writing the programs you want to see written, or that you think will be the most fun to write. I think the latter is more important in your case. You seem to enjoy the "thinking of" more than the "doing" part, a preference towards which I myself am inclined.

Good luck!
I am started having back problems for a month. I am also a programmer. I doubt it is because of long working hours. I would appreciate if you can share your tips in strengthening back.
It's an incredible amount of personal data. If all that data was collected, then abused, I'd dissociate from much of my identity. I would just feel totally alienated by post-industrial society.

I'd be okay using Greplin if I knew Google was going to acquire them. I trust Google. I figure when Google goes bad, there will be much bigger issues facing humanity and our internet pasts will all be damning anyways.
I feel obliged to say that I've not had spammy emails from crunchyroll, either. Their "notifications" are quite spammy, however.
Have you used WingIDE? How does it compare? After shelling out for a $150 license and using it enthusiastically for about 3 months, I found myself moving back to basic text editors. I guess I just found the slowdown and general clunkyness was not offset by the additional toolset. Wondering how pycharm compares.
Won't you spend as much on gas driving to wherever you decide to bulk shop (Bay area isn't tiny) compared to your neighbourhood supermarket, as you'd save by bulk shopping?

Would you mind creating a GitHub issue to track this on? We may decide to change the behavior before production

EDIT: I have created an issue here: https://github.com/system76/launch/issues/17

We do not intend for the production firmware to include any software reset to bootloader functionality. It will require a physical keypress (Fn+ESC)
It might be related to the gold standard, but I'd argue that WW2 was a bigger factor. The US was already the strongest economy and the competition was devastated by war. Add on to that the development of the intermodal shipping container and it was suddenly possible for the US to transport their goods cheaply. The reason this golden age ended is that other countries had finally recovered from the devastation of war.
The Fed also can't give $1000 to everyone.
“Shadow government statistics” is indeed nutters and not all perspectives deserve equal footing.
