>Seeing will no longer be believing and society will be forced to look at things with a more critical and skeptical eye or with a higher level of diligence.

That's not what will happen. What will happen is that people will consider video which corroborates their biases to be legitimate, and video which contradicts their biases to be fraudulent. Bear in mind that skepticism is already on the rise - the web is rife with it, to the point that any news source whose reporting isn't sufficiently paranoid, cynical or piss-taking is dismissed out of hand as likely propaganda, yet this widespread mistrust in just about everything hasn't resulted in a rise in critical thinking or due diligence, rather the opposite, because it's easy for people to live in self-perpetuating alternate universes with multiple positive feedback loops provided through the web reinforcing their filter bubbles.

>Value should also shift back to more legitimate sources.

It might, if anyone believed that legitimate sources existed anymore outside of 4chan, Reddit and Comedy Central. Unfortunately it seems as if we as a society have decided to abandon the premise that objective truth exists, as the world around us is fed to us more and more as abstractions by untrustworthy arbiters. Deepfakes aren't going to help solve the problem of who can be trusted to "legitimize" truth in a "post-truth" world.
Pretty rare at your average non-tech company. Increasingly common as you get into major regional tech hubs and software as the product companies.
I can’t prove it other than to say: go to literally any website and count.

My claim, that ads are more dishonest than honest, seems much less controversial. If you can find me even a single podcast episode with only honest ads, I’ll concede.

I agree that none of the examples I gave would lose much of their impact, but I'd argue that's also not directly tied in to the ovarching point I was trying to express (though obviously I expressed it badly or else that's where the focus would be).

It's easy to point to any one example and say "Well that could still work." but the point I was trying to drive at is that this changes the dynamic of the lecture. Surprise can be used as a catalyst for introspection or introducing a strategic amount of discomfort to illustrate a point, etc. the point I was trying to make is simply that it has utility. When you are /required/ to have a trigger warning, as an instructor, you are being obligated to compromise the effect you were trying to persue and presumably you were trying to persue it because you thought it would help the class with some form of comprehension whether that be intellectual or emotional.

Even if you're not outright required to issue trigger warnings (lets say because a middle ground policy is implemented that encourages instructors to do so but leaves it to their discretion) those instructors are still required to adapt to triggered students or else they wouldn't have been encouraged/required to do so in the first place. But because there's no reliable way to know what specific content will trigger a student in a given class the system is actually incentivizing censorship because now the only way to ensure you minimize trigger events is to assume that every student is triggerable and so optimal content becomes content which is as unchallenging, emotionally speaking, as possible.

Allergies wouldn't be a terrible analogy. Lots of schools, in America I can't speak for Europe and elsehwere, have regulations about common allergies like peanuts. These regulations are targeted towards common allergies because otherwise the task of preventing allergic reactions becomes an all encompassing battle to minimize liability. That's not to say students with rare allergies shouldn't be accommodated at all, but at some point the impact on the other students has to be addressed.
WHAAAAAAT? didn't think of that. A trailer with extra battery and can actually haul stuff on top of is an AMAZING idea.
The point here is that in Local vs. Darkweb, you still have means of having a way to identify the dealer when you buy face to face, or know them through a friend of a friend. Darkweb you have no idea.
I think you are asking about algorithms instead of the stack. There is another question about ML stack https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21516311
It just reminds me of my 85-year old grandfather who still in 2019 maintains that photocopiers should be banned for private ownership because people can make illegal copies of documents on them.
I believe you. But truck guys don't discuss the style of their truck, how pretty it is. They brag about how they abused it or carried unreal loads or took it where no road legal vehicle should ever go.

Even if the Cybertruck kicks ass on the road, it's not going to impress these guys. And if they're the target market for this new truck, Tesla's in trouble.
Python might have something Ike Ruby's rvm utility. If you're unfamiliar, rvm stands for Ruby Version Manager, and it allows you to have multiple versions of Ruby installed. When you want to use a certain version, you run "rvm use ruby-1.8" (for example), and it switches, to that version in the current shell session.
We work in the pro photography space and Drobos are hot right now. It seems to be the de-facto recommendation when people want high-volume storage for Lightroom or Aperture libraries.
Sounds great!

That reminds me, I HAVE to forward you this hilarious email I got from my Aunt. Just make sure you really read all the way to the bottom.
Works remarkably well on the iPhone too.
Little of what is on that site has to do with hating sports as pure games involving physical activity. Rather it seems the common theme (from my albeit brief inspection of the articles and forum) is the hate for the jock culture. And it seems the jock culture that many of these people have experienced is one of bullying. So instead of sportssuck.com, this site should really be renamed bullyingsucks.com.
The given enough time part is the logical flaw i think.

It's kinda like saying that a man who can only run 15 miles per hour will eventually be able to run 30 miles and thus even if he creates a machine to do it faster, he was still capable of doing it.
It took me a while to parse the title: consider "People who need nothing except the internet in order to work" vs "People who only need the internet in order to work" vs "People who need nothing except that the internet should work". I assume the second is intended.

Also, how is this different to a hotel? I guess it's cheaper. So how is this different to a really cheap hostel with shared rooms? I suppose you can only let trustworthy people in.

So yes, I can see it working if they (you?) can get the economics right. Keeping the apartments clean could also be a major challenge.
Even if that were true, we could still see rather drastic advances emulating intelligence far below the capability of humans.

Imagine if we could program a self replicating machine group similar to an ant colony? Self propagating, powering, healing. Any excess resources the colony has goes into building our houses, growing our food, building cars etc...
One reason I read HN, is to learn how to come up with good titles :)
Yes, I agree with you. It pretty much always comes at some cost and "user-friendliness" hurts most of the times. But it is exactly that "easy-to-use" design that leads to security holes like the one presented here.

And I stand by what I wrote earlier, if you want to add some security options then they should be enabled by default. Having even the best security system in-place is useless when it's disabled. Isn't it?

If you cannot articulate your reasons your 'gut feeling' might not be correct this time.

I've personally had some absolutely atrocious experience with outsourcing but also a very good one with a small Romanian outsourcing company[1].

Depending on the item you can see things like time on, CPU total, data sent/received. For example in the last hour my display has been on for 5m46s and that is 61% of battery usage.

This may be like the HTC Incredible issue - something is wrong with Flickr account syncing and it eats the battery alive.

It's reasonable for a layman to assume that Google can't read his Gmail? That Facebook can't see your private messages? We need to have higher expectations of "laymen."
The intriguing part of PLCSD to me is that it uses F#, which is the language I use as the tool for my project, :)

I took compiler course during my university days, so the theory part is not a big issue to me. That's why this free book comes so handy as a reference book. I'm aware of the dragon book, tiger book, as well as, the whale book and had a quick read in bookstore. They all are good books, but I don't find my need to keep them on my bookshelf. So I don't think I am in the position to comment on them. YMMV.
Apple is not a threat to IBM's core businesses. IBM as it is currently operating is. The current awesome results to investors is at the expense of the US workforce and non-research lab innovation.
I wonder, though, how well such a strategy turns out. Lets take Cisco and Microsoft as examples. Both started with a couple of core products, and quickly saturated their market. After achieving saturation, they both tried to force their way into other markets via acquisitions and organic growth. However, their acquisitions have failed to achieve the blockbuster status of their core products, and, arguably fail to do much in the way of ensuring the corporation's survival in the absence of those core products.

Cisco started out making enterprise routers and switches. They quickly gained dominance in that space, and began expanding into other areas. However, none of their acquisitions or expansions (e.g. Linksys, GoToMeeting, etc.) have achieved the same level of profitability as the core router & switch business. If Cisco loses its core router & switch business, it will still be in trouble, with or without Linksys.

The same principle applies to Microsoft. Yeah, they've expanded into a lot of new markets. There has been success in some (e.g. game consoles) and failures in others (e.g. mobile phones). But none of their expansions have resulted in products that would save the company if the Windows and Office cease generating significant revenue.

In the eyes of many investors, this strategy has actually hurt these companies. Rather than staying focused and building absolute best of breed products in one or a few categories, Microsoft and Cisco have lost focus, and are diluted their talents into a set of mediocre products across a wide range of categories.

Given that, I think it would be better for Apple to stick to making damn good PCs, MP3 players, and cell phones, rather than branch out into a wide number of product categories and lose their reputation for excellence.

Note that a crew escape system, what the article treats as an absolute minimum for a manned vehicle, doesn't exist on the space shuttle for budgetary reasons. The space shuttle has many, many abort modes[1], but absolutely nothing can be done while the solid boosters are firing, since you can't shut them off or detach them from the stack.

Maciej Cegłowski (pinboard.in) complains at length about this in an essay[2] about the space shuttle.

Steve Jobs is not in the least bit charismatic. He's obviously brilliant and a good, not great, speaker, but every other sentence out of his mouth could be "I'm better than you" and people wouldn't flinch. He's not the kind of guy you'd like to have a beer with, unless you get off on being talked down to. Jobs has a legion of followers, but not because of personal charisma.
When I graduated with my BS in Biochemistry, I came to the same realisations about a potential PhD:

1) The system only prepares PhD graduates for continuing work in academia.

2) PhD does not guarantee a job.

The system is broken and I'm glad more people are realising it. This is major news coming from Nature.
I've always wondered why this wasn't the case already. The great part about targeting Apple hardware is that there isn't that much of it (comparatively).
I don't think we actually disagree. The tablet/desktop convergence is them trying to sit between two barstools - true that they're still mostly toward desktop, but they aimed for both and hit neither.

And agreed on your second point, using XFCE right now.
And you should have all the keys for a device you bought. It should be a legal requirement.
I'm curious if these new additions to C++ have genuine use cases (as in we could not do this because X) or if there are more academic driven arguments going on here.

Having recently done a lot of work using C++ previously coming from Go and Typescript I find it hard to understand all the reasons for the language to be so flexible.
For most people here, getting rid of the internet would also mean changing careers to one of the few remaining things you can do professionally without using the internet.

"You criticize thing yet you also use it, how curious" is such a banal take it's literally a meme.
Right, but there are no technological barriers to renewable electricity generation. Not only is it possible with current technology, it's already the cheapest way to generate electricity. The limits on adoption of renewables are all to do with storage.
Yeah, we do not need any breakthroughs in battery technology for grid stabilization in fixed service. We can do it today with lead-acid batteries if we needed to. Nobody cares about energy density, power density, or mass generally.
Room temperature superconductivity reportedly appeared at 267 gigapascals, more than 2,400 times the pressure at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the deepest point in the ocean.

That's a lot of pressure. That's like 40x the pressure needed to make diamonds.
Sorry if I missed something obvious, but it's not 100% clear if this is a satire or not?
Oh no, was a person "a bit strange"? Were they "a bit off"? Think of the children!!!

It seems especially ugly to see that here on HN. I grew up as the "a bit strange" person in a small midwestern town. It sucked. it wasn't until I got the fuck out and got into tech that I got to be around other nerdy, non-neurotypical people like myself that I finally felt like I could breathe.

If you have a complaint about somebody, fine, make it in clear and precise terms. But this scary-scary vagueness looks to me like standard-issue neurotypical bigotry.
How exactly is a person going to injure themselves by getting naked on camera? Oh, maybe they'll get hypothermia from the chilly air in their bedroom! I genuinely have no idea what you're talking about.

Wouldn't be especially dirty either — nothing a few tissues couldn't wipe away, frankly, not as a solo performer. You get dirtier than that just by using the bathroom.

So, again — how is it "dirty work"?
Only two realistic options --- polling or web sockets.

If you want instantaneous, real time, back and forth, chat type interaction, I'd say web sockets are the only real option. This implies that users will be active at the same time.

If you are ok with non-real time time, email like interaction, polling is probably better. This implies that users may not be active at the same time.

I'm assuming you are looking at a web app here.
Multiple studies have shown that, even if an EV is charged from a power grid powered 100% by coal, it still produces about the same CO2 as a 50mpg ICE vehicle. Very few grids are that dirty and contain a mix of cleaner sources like natural gas, nuclear, wind, solar, and hydro. Each cleaner source you add reduce the CO2 output due to that EV. On a typical grid, it only takes about 12K miles to offset the additional energy needed to manufacture that EV.
What “nutrients” are you talking about? Vague unspecific references to “nutrients” is a red flag that you’re talking to an anti-vax type.
Interesting! I'd appreciate any sources though.

Maybe they only need so few servers because they are using a performant language like C#? Would they need a lot more servers if they used Rails, Django, or PHP? In other words, an interpreted language. I'm not so sure your conclusion can be derived from their stack.
Wouldn't it be better if he was only holding a small 6" long stick, the kinect tracks that, and digitally adds the extended lightsaber? Maybe this was just his step 1.

It would minimize the destruction caused in your home from swinging around a 4' stick.
Thinking like the instructor/presenter/seller quite clearly, though also remember to think like the student/purchaser, too.

You're clearly familiar with running the process line and incremental improvements for yourself and optimizing your work, but are you equally comfortable being the widget that's being processed within the assembly line, and whether the widget is getting the best value?

My trip down that educational assembly line was seriously and mind-numbingly unpleasant, and I can only imagine what it's like with all of the current standardized-tests model. Looking back, what we were taught and what we learned for those tests was sufficiently ridiculous and, well, wasteful. We didn't learn that most of what we learned would be outmoded, that the tools we were taught would be gone, and that memorization was far less practical than learning how to research.

As a presenter, I don't want to repeat that for the folks I am teaching. Though thankfully, I don't have to teach to standardized tests.

As an instructor, you're selling a service. Are your students buying?
When I was twelve, my father died. On my birthday. Needless to say this fucked me up; I closed up pretty much entirely and drifted through life for something like ten or fifteen years.

In some ways, I think nobody's truly dead until their last echo fades from history - when I have that moment of drawing and feeling like I'm totally channeling Jack Kirby, he lives again through me. What of your father still lives in you?

Make social contact; start to look for new anchors for who you are. You'll never find a replacement for him but you'll find someone who's just as interesting. Maybe they'll be a lover, maybe they'll be a new mentor. Maybe some of both. Put yourself in new situations.

Three months? I think you're still quite right to be grieving.
Someone needs to go through these with a dosimeter. On a regular basis.

Taking the manufacturer's word for it isn't even good enough for software or gas mileage; we rely on third-party benchmarking.

And where's the independent safety auditing to check for hardware dose limiting in case of faulty software, for example?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therac-25

You couldn't roll out a medical device like this, but foist it on the public at large and suddenly the testing requirements are very lax.

Field testing is essential. You can't just use a model that the manufacturer "kindly" provides for free. (To do proper Consumer Reports, you have to buy a unit on the open market incognito.) And you can't test for wear-and-tear malfunction by using a brand-new model.

I found this report:

http://publicintelligence.net/nist-rapiscan-secure-1000-reda...

Which doesn't mention who provided the unit, and seems content to test it in black-box mode, focused on the externalities and not the actual hardware or software internals.

What about possibly buggy software updates?

iPhone apps get more auditing trying to release a new version than this thing.
That sounds like the same phenomenon, actually, not the opposite. Just flip 'you' and 'others'.
Students repeat courses, audit courses. Students can be exposed to these canned test questions in this way. Universities push the general learning experience in selling their education product. Those who want to make the student the commodity and control how they learn for better quality control strike me as dyed in the wool bureaucrats.
Really, REALLY I can't understand how this can be #1 on HN now. Ah, Carlos, please go RTFM! Powerful tools... they are not for everyone.
"But for many people, social networking sites are slowly taking over at least part of the role of search engines, which is mainly to retrieve information."

Don't agree, they are rather take part of the role of tv.
I’m not sure I’m fully on board with GP’s conclusion, but their first paragraph is spot on. SSC’s whole shtick is thinking deeply from first principles, so it is very… let’s say curious, that his assessment of BLM would be so shallow.
Well crap, it went over my head.
>cities matter.

>You might say "but...but...the internet". Well, perfecting remote work is just the beginning. The unplanned/sponteneous interactions that lead to new relationships also matte

Yes, I can totally get why anyone would pay a premium for someone who is physically present, or can be on relatively little notice.

But that only be relevant as far as "local or remote?", where the former gets a premium against the latter, and it shouldn't care about looking up the specific CoL of which remote location you're working from (so long as business hours are maintained). The issue is that location-based pay does do this.
If you're running a remote company, there's another reason (besides fairness) that location-based pay is a bad idea: it makes it harder to create a compensation structure that incentivizes high performance.

If Person A is outperforming Person B, but is getting paid less because they happen to live somewhere else, you lose the ability to claim that you compensate people for performance without sounding like you're talking out of both sides of your mouth. Not only is Person A not going to be happy about that, Person A is not going to believe that compensation at your company is based on performance.

Companies that want to hire and incentivize the best people need to be congruent in their messaging around compensation and performance. Claiming that compensation is performance-based and then including a factor (location) that has no bearing on performance is incongruent and will not help to develop the right culture in this regard.
Ah, but it also increases the pool of potential employers.
Rate of suicide is around 1 per 10,000 people per year. But rate of murder-suicide is much lower.
Then can you please outline specifically what training would be required to accomplish... whatever it is you did claim that was, "relatively minimal"?

What classes? What books? What certifications or degrees?
I've tried to use blueproximity at some point (mostly for convenience because I sometimes forget to lock my screen), but the range of BT devices is too large for comfort. I could be anywhere in my flat or in the medium-sized open plan office at work and the phone in my pocket would still be in range.
But he is basically saying he wasn't influenced except in the places he was influenced like the CoffeeScript fat arrow and the Dart SIMD stuff in ES7. This is an argument about degrees of influence, not whether or not he was influenced (as he admitted that.) This is not a winnable argument by anyone, I have to move on.
