What is the consequence of turning these background dts off? Does that mean it won't poll facebook/twitter? Because I don't use those at all. Which means battery life is fine :)
What is nanotechnology, or modern optics, if not a collection of observations, leading to correlation and causality?

Sure, we have a few more observations to add to theirs, but the fields of study have advanced from that point, not from some completely different point.

Also, as stated, some fields of study today have sprung from this very piece of art.
As my procrastination is mostly anxiety fueled, I have more ways to cope at home than in the office.

In the office I would end up browsing social media to distract myself while at home there is lots of things to do from listening to loud music to just walking around, doing the dishes, stretching, going for a brisk walk and so on. It is way better.

This also helps with my creativity as sometimes the best ideas come when I do house work. The best way to solve a problem is sometimes not found starring at a screen but when you allow yourself to relax.
Interesting. It's a really strange mix to me. They seem to start talking about safety and liveness properties, but only mention them a grand total of 4 times, and avoid mentioning anything related to them after page 17... in an 81-page book whose subject is ostensibly "Transition Systems", in big letters, which are neither algorithms nor data structures, but model of computation. Surely, if the goal is to talk about transition systems, there would be a LOT more that would be said about safety and liveness properties, and the logic surrounding them? They're generally introduced in graduate or advanced undergraduate courses teaching temporal logic. It's kind of bizarre to me to mention them so briefly and then move on so quickly (what would be the point of doing that in an introductory CS course?), but maybe it'll make sense if I actually read the book? Definitely seems like an unconventional approach on its face.
It's not so chilling or new - people have been misunderstanding each other for millenia. And here on HN at least, if commenters follow the comment guidelines we should be alright.

Eggcellent, what a cracking article!
Am in Australia :)
Thanks for digging this out, because it's an educational example.

Surprisingly, this type of moderation is what made Wikipedia thrive. You can be as flabbergasted as I once was about the process. But exactly those "dumb" criteria make the system work. The admin did his job here and probably on twenty more identical deletions the same day.
Sadly, we have two study cases about "how destructive are nuclear weapons" and yes, really, they are Hiroshima and Nagasaki:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_a...
I've read this article quickly but there is no mention to those events, the author only compare the power of a modern nuke with Hiroshima bomb. So, how can this article be a reliable source ? About the author, I don't see his name and after a quick google search, I can't find any endorsement to that website as reliable source. This is the second article I see on HN of the series "nukes are bad but no so bad" that are no more that blogger opinions, INMO. As usual, being liked transform anything on Internet in authoritative information by induction and this is bad.
aah - a trip down memory lane
On one hand, I love that the technology exists so that people can do this. Really cool. And watching the 5 minute preview, I feel like this was done pretty well and will probably watch the 3 hour version.

On the other hand, who goes to a movie that was based on the book expecting to actually watch the book? That never happens! Books and movies are different media. I never go to a movie expecting it to be the same. I expect it to be "based on" and nothing more. I'm rarely disappointed.
DNS as in?
I made something that did stats on this a few months ago

> And the good old "correlation is not causation" adage applies for #3 and #4.

It does, but it's not hard to come up with plausible causes for the correlation to support in those cases.

It is probably more accurate to say "Academic aptitutde correlates with job stability which correlates with lower overall stress levels which is part of the definition for better health which correlates with longevity."

Embedded systems. It's all about driving external hardware, and much of it has to be sequential.
Could you post a link to that photo?
The title here on Hacker News has been mangled to be incomprehensible or just wrong. This is not a "Linux patent", it is a software patent which is potentially infringed by the Linux kernel.
Presumably the reason he didn't get it in the first place is because it was already squatted. I very much doubt the process ever goes, "So, I see the .com is available for my name, but I think I'll just go with .info instead."
There's a good chance that he's a paid anti-Google shill: http://lwn.net/Articles/434587/. Note that in this case he immediately jumps from the verdict to "Android is doomed", when the case had nothing to do with Android specifically except that it uses Linux, as do millions of other products.
question is, is google willing to put salespeople, and build organization which is by nature very 'high touch' business?
Putting a shiny offers page is one thing, and following up with the daily deal strategy is another...
I've played that game a few times and each time I think that I must have done very well compared to everyone else only, disappointingly, to find out that I am only just above average.
I had Lens Crafters make me a custom pair of polarized sunglasses with the polarization at 45 degrees to match up with my laptop's polarizer. Used with the laptop, they dim everything I see BUT the laptops screen. Not all laptops have the same 45 degree tilt, some are 180 from mine.
I am typically against free web apps. It lowers the bar for everyone.

People get what they pay for, I would be worried you are not in business to make money...

Must be another strategy behind this.
I disagree. I'm also looking for a better source. Florian Mueller has a very bad reputation and was the guy behind "Boycott Novell".
I don't think you deserve to be downvoted because I made a whitenoise comment. I should have pasted the explanation I made in my defensive response in the first place or not bothered at all. My bad.
Money and time. You can't make the assembly lines overnight, but enough money could make them in a few months. Just copy the designs for the machines they already have. There is probably opportunity to make more efficient machines as well, there almost always is, but that takes longer than a blind copy. Better in the long run, but takes longer to work out the bugs in the new design.
It depends if you're spending it on iMacs or on rent.
> I said enough of a situation exists to warrant asking the question.

That's fine, but it has nothing to do with what the article says, nor that this submission is blatant politicising - an act which HN seems to pretend it is above.

People keep downvoting me for reiterating the point - this is not a conflict of interest (as demonstrated by years of precedence), nor did the Press Secretary ignore the question, nor is this an unusual situation for past and current public servants to be in.

Show me an actual conflict of interest and I'll grab my pitchfork. Show me a blatant political "wahtaboutsim" with no real substance and I'll thrust my pitchfork in it's
direction as well, internet points be damned!
Microsoft made plenty of money from PCs, and plenty more selling Office on the Mac (more than Apple made on the hardware at some points), and from leveraging that marketshare into browsers, corporate messaging, servers, Xboxes (well I don't think they've actually made any money on Xbox yet, but they probably will make some eventually) etc.

Google is making plenty of money from Android, and are making money from mobile search/ads on iPhone too. It seems likely that the growth of Android, and the fact that low end Anrdroids are expanding the market for mobile browsing/search/ads is only going to aid their bottom line going forward.

Do you view Apple as simply a hardware manufacturer? Why not calculate the margins that LG and Samsung are making on the components of the iPhone 4 and just pretend that the money Apple makes doesn't count, just like apparently Microsoft's profits don't count when a laptop gets sold?

"You are out of your mind. Their site flat out does not work with the default behavior of most modern browsers"

I think you are missing the fleitz's point. From his post:

"It ok for Tazo to have a crappy landing page"

They are omnipresent in meatspace. I'd say they overspent on the website. They could have gone with a one-pager that said something like "We're Tazo Tea. You can find us everywhere. Go buy some."

He wasn't saying that is OK their site is non-functioning but that they really don't even need a website.
Sounds like the eye tracking we saw using the Wii-mote awhile back, just using front-side cameras. Heck, you could do that now with a simple app and some eye tracking.
> If you're trying to become your own boss, you need to consider the alternative.

They're not necessarily mutually exclusive. One of the nice things about working as a freelancer/contractor is that you are used to managing your time and possibly working on several projects for different clients anyway. If you choose to spend some of your time developing side projects as well, whether for professional development or simply personal satisfaction, no-one's going to stop you... Just keep the expectations realistic about whether a project is being done as a serious business proposition and therefore justifies the time to develop it properly in that light, or a fun side-project that shouldn't be allowed to become a time sink!
You might find it obvious that piracy must reduce income, but I don't think that's obvious at all. I don't pretend to know one way or the other. I think it's approximately just as likely that, at least in some cases, piracy can and has INCREASED income, by increasing hype and interest in a given movie or recording, which drives more awareness of it, which then eventually leads to some sales. Anecdotally, speaking only for myself, I'll admit to having pirated some media, gotten very interested, and then purchased that same media, either to reward the creators, or because I wanted a legit copy or a higher-quality copy, etc. I've also pirated some media, gotten interested, and then recommended it to many others, some of whom have then purchased it.

Why do you think it's obvious that piracy will always reduce income?
Not to minimise your experience, but in most countries the actions were not politicised as they were in the US, and were applied to a very much consenting populace.

It was understood this was a temporary health emergency, and the primary goal was to save lives. In most places, most people, saw this as a fair trade-off - and least in the immediate term.

One interesting analysis in years to come will be the effect of politisizing a health emergency as a party-political event, as distinct from there being broad political consensus to the action taken.
I suspect a lot of them are stopping when they see that when is bogus and aren't bothering to poke holes in the rest of them. Readers have their own heuristics, but that doesn't mean the rest of the examples aren't full of holes.
Wow, this looks great - a game that can really make use of fingers if ever there was one. Super helpful for the World of MOM levels, I bet.

I'd definitely get it if I had an iPad... and didn't have the PC version. :)

Keep it up, 2dboy!
Which is great if you can implement the idea in a weekend. Much harder if it'll take 2 years to build before you can see if the time was worth spending.
I took a look at the time line and you appear to have improperly recollected. The Courier leak happened 9/22/2009. The Apple event was 9/9/2009. By the time the Courier leak occurred everyone was already speculating the Apple Tablet was coming out in February as Apple's September event had long passed with no mention of a tablet. See this Mashable story:

http://mashable.com/2009/09/22/microsoft-courier/

MS cancels the Courier on April 29th -- the same month the iPad came out (and actually a day before the launch of the 3G version).

There doesn't seem to be a FUD play at all here, except in the eyes of the most ardent consipracy theorists. RBanffy? :-)
It's indeed a very challenging task. I picked it because it's one of those where the lack of generalization is apparent. In fact, researchers study commonsense QA and similar tasks to find how we can reach generalization.

I agree, it's very hard to fidn the difference. Especially for GPT or BERT, where the training set is basically the whole internet.

It's a very good question about fur. I would suspect that it would correctly recognise all kinds of dog-like fur and sometimes fail on different furs, like bear furs. But in general NN's are very good at textures, so maybe it will just be good on all kinds of fur. One problem that might arise is that you will show it something fur-like but not really fur, and it will think it's fur.

I agree it's some kind of generalization. Here I don't have enough background to draw the line, perhaps a more theorically oriented person could, but I can't.

I guess the most important judge is that if you devise a benchmark like commonsense Q&A, a neural network fails it. Or how a Tesla will recognise a truck full of red stop signs as a real stop sign, while a "generalizing" thing like a human would definitely know that a core property of a stop sign is that it should be installed near a road. So there is a real problem.
Yeah, just to point out something specific: only 1% of the dataset comes from Asia. Something similar might happen in other dimension. We don’t know if 50% of the images come from people with genetic degenerative brain disease or not. MRI is special enough that it would be hard to say the sampling is similar to the general population
>I can't go to slow social without all my friends coming with me, so I'm stuck with Instagram/whatsapp.

That's the problem if these new social networks have nothing to add in terms of functionality. There are many examples for come-for-the-tool-stay-for-the-network strategies that work.
Just read about those [1]. I was struck that the ingredients were similar to what’s in Gaviscon:

- Sodium alginate

- Calcium carbonate

So much for the age-old advice: "just be yourself".
I understand that some onlyfans creators are being exploited, but the freedom of those who aren't exploited (which are a majority) shouldn't be restricted because of that.
Thank you! I am walking the dogs in the park and laughed out loud when I read that. It was unintentional to be clear. The experience was real, I wish I had the foresight to notice the pun
Yep, at A level (2007 ish) we had a college trip to visit CERN while it was being built. It was cool to see ATLAS before they joined up the beam lines.

My college physics department was otherwise very underwhelming and I'm amazed they had the imagination to plan it.
Not sure if this is exactly what your looking for.

Not too long ago I ran across this term "skewmorphism". It was a word Jobs used to talk about making computer programs resemble the real world.

When I heard the term though, it wasn't from Jobs. It was from a guy named Chris Dixon talking about how with new tech there is a tendency to think about how it can apply to the real world, the physical world.

His point was that sort of thinking is also a kind of skewmorphism and that really with new technology you should think internet first.

This really did change my perspective. I used to be kind of half in half out. Looking for a way to leverage technology back into the real world. But I always found that process rather slowed by buerocracy and so on.

I find that if you use the latest tech in tandem and focus your efforts purely on the domain of the internet you can go quite a bit faster than if you were trying to backport your progress into meatspace.

Make no mistake too, there are exclusively internet companies now. The most profitable ones still bridge the physical world though (Apple).
Real estate that isn't being used for anything and won't be for the foreseeable future is sort of kind of like a collectible. But even then presumably there's the idea it will be used for something someday.
There are very few regions in the western world where progressives are not the majority.

In terms of the total population of countries, pretty much the enture west has a significant majority towards progressive policies.

The opposite is true though, conservatives — while, with some exceptions, being the minority — tend to feel like they deserve more publicity, and tend to believe in a silent majority (which isn't real, btw).

(Some of aforementioned exceptions are smaller communities — people tend to cluster spatially based on their beliefs).
I gotthe habit of using 4” barrier webbing tape with gaffers on either side to make wire chases. That way there was nothing stuck to the cables and if another cable needed to run the same route, one side could be lifted, the cable slid in, and then reapplied.
People will also keep buying pristine copies of old games so long as that series has some popularity.

People aren’t going to lose interest in Nintendo series any time soon. Even if Nintendo made some awful business decisions, went bankrupt, and the developers and executives were all revealed to be violent criminals, people would still love those games and want to own them.

There’s a non zero possibility Apple could be bankrupt in 5 years and all those stocks become worthless. You never know what the next ENRON could be.

Read it but have your own opinion on things. A very intelligent group of people overthinks things and tends to hold on to expert opinions which might be slow to adapt to market changes.
And to expand...

When Twitch and Facebook and Twitter ban you... well, there is always another supermarket unless there isn’t.
Or the objectors understood it quite well, and their true objection is that being held accountable for bigoted or violent rhetoric might actually affect them or others they care about, or may reduce the spread of ideologies with which the agree.

Personally, I’m glad Twitch is doing this. We don’t need people recruiting for the Klan or the Proud Boys also running gaming streams to gain audience.
As an aside, it's insane that decisions of such import are being made by folks working at a couple of large US companies. This is going to impact users and small businesses across the world. Where is the representation from African/Indian/Chinese businesses and technologists? This would require the big tech cos to truly be interested in "diversity" of course, instead of the lip-service they pay to it in practice.
If I may be so bold as to make your case for you, a huge pain point in the amazing software that is makecode arcade is that it pigeon holes you into TypeScript strict mode, which, while an amazing and flexible technology for seasoned engineers, it is a a very limiting and confusing convention for young learners.

Cyclists encounter problems at intersections because they're in the wrong position. They should be in the lane that serves their destination so that same direction traffic didn't have to cross their path when making a turn. For example, when proceeding straight through an intersection, the cyclist should be to the left of right turning traffic and directly in line with traffic going straight.

Holy false equivalencies!

You've managed to take... Well a bunch of things which do not create physiological dependency and decide they're exactly equivalent to opiates.
Just so you know, you can't buy kindle books from the Android app anymore either - main reason I use Aldiko to read epub now.

Agreed about Android 5 though, best yet!
For the seller it is different (because we care about LTV), but typically the $900 expenditure is "X services, Nov. 17 - Dec 17". They are loyal customers, but it isn't as though they are even breaking the spirit of the rule. [Example: if they bought $10 worth of pens, no one would ask whether they calculated the amortized lifetime cost of needing pens and issued a bulk approval form. Lots of real life expenses are recurring.]
" especially in the beginning when the show is slow to get into"

When I re-watched it, I was surprised how slow the start of the show is. Maybe all the fantastic memories of seasons 3 and 4 made me forget that the first few episodes of the show, while necessary, are a bit of a chore.
EDNS0 includes a mechanism for clients/resolvers to signal that they can handle a large/fragmented UDP response. At this point about 85% of requesters can handle UDP responses of at least 4K. For the moment, DNSSEC and EDNS0 are making falling back to TCP far less common than it used to be.

That may change, as some providers are starting to put smaller limits on their response sizes (to mitigate certain kinds of DDOS and response spoofing attacks). Of course permitting TCP 53 is required for DNS to work; as is permitting UDP fragments (which poorly configured firewalls often block too).
No, it wouldn't. By definition, the advertising department has to talk to production to establish runs and page counts. I guarantee that this happens at the NYT, because a paper could not possibly be produced without this process.

What possible ethical issue is there?
I finished secondary school in 2004. So it's been a while. Most people from my school are on LinkedIn,so it's easy to see how's everyone doing. The ones that went to tech are doing fine,the rest are more or less fucked, regardless of how intelligent they were.
The game seems to expect a particular solution even when there are multiple possibilities of forming correct words. For example, I tried "peeks" & "bully" but the game only accepted "peels" & "bulky". This is frustrating, as one has to "mind-read" the game.

Another thing to improve is to reduce the frequency of plural forms. Plurals are just a cop-out to turn four-letter words into five-letter words. ;)
I can vouch for that story.

I also had movers, and wanted to tip them. When I asked what they took. I was shocked when they said Bitcoin!

They said some person that they had helped move before had helped them set up bitcoin addresses.

They were so excited by this. It was also pretty easy to convince them to read me both their public and private keys for those addresses (I told them that if I sent it to their public key, it would be public so their boss and the IRS would find out, however, if they gave me the private key, it would be completely private).

I then tipped both of them $50. They were so overjoyed.

Then later that night, I emptied both of their wallets.

(By the way, to the OP, thanks for teaching them about cryptocurrency, and for the $10).
