It always seemed purposely misleading to me. Heck they don't even use the term LCD in the technical specifications... which is odd because that's what it actually is. And it did work as I had multiple friends, including several technically minded ones, who were misled by Pebble's terminology and thought it was an ereader-quality display.
Genetics aren't the only thing we inherit, and aren't the only possible source of differences in merit. It could equally be cultural differences - e.g. attitudes towards education, work, society and so on - that would be passed on even to adopted children, and would make people genuinely better at their jobs. Even if the advantages of the rich are purely environmental, that in no way proves that they're not meritocratic.
I do believe graph databases are here to stay. However, they are overhyped right now, leading everybody to think their problem is a graph problem, just like how the hype of hadoop led everybody to believe their problem was a map reduce problem.

A good rule of thumb is whether you ever have a need to query the relations as well as the data. If you ever get to that point, you can be pretty well assured that a graph database will help you. Until then, the safer decision is to stick with a relational db for prod.

Also, check out OrientDB. I have found it to be superior in every way to Neo4j.
I work at Esri where almost everyone gets their own office with a sliding door. Private offices are still alive here (Thanks Jack :)
1. Yes, we have one parameter we call "flow" that does what your GIF shows. We also have a parameter called "opacity" that does what you want to do. To create a brush that behaves the way you want do the following: open brush settings panel (located on the upper right of the screen), go to the "flow" tab, change "flow pressure" to 100%, go to the opacity tab and change "opacity pressure" to 0%.

(we need to improve the brush settings)

2. Yes, use the same brush settings as described above. You can click on "tip" (round circle for standard brush) to change brush tip.

3. We might open source the brush format in the future.

4. Maybe in a distant future. The problem with plugins is that you have one more API to keep backward compatible.

Don't build your company, until you've verified your Business Model

Amusing presentation but it smells like some corporate point of view. I'd remove the word "startup".

Anyway how do you figure out your business model if you haven't even created a product?
Is this a correct summary?

So, the question is, is this what you want to be doing?

And if it's not, what do you want to be doing? Where do you want to be next year? What do you value in life - location, friendship, money, comfort, what?
Discuss what is wrong with the arguments behind their behaviors, rather than harping on personality traits the author finds annoying. Many of the character traits the author mentions are not part of the messages of the political groups he is complaining about, but serve only to emphasize his opinion "Stepford students" as a whole are brain-dead and conformist.

There's definitely good criticisms of arguably (and in my opinion) bad behavior in this article, but it falls a little flat when the author can't restrain himself from tossing out petty insults whenever he's leading into a point.
In principle, you wouldn't do any logging, even debug logging, in a pure function. It always returns the same output for the same input anyway. You'd just check its output.
4-10 months jail time is like a vacation.
Deconvolution is quick with Fourier transforms. In infinite precision, convolution by any nonzero function (which includes Gaussian blurs) is invertible. In practice, quantization and stopping the convolution at the edge of the blur region complicates things. The blur itself removes no information, if you want to convince yourself it's safe you need to argue numerical analysis.

Check out "High Quality Motion Deblurring from a Single Image", for some quite impressive photo reconstruction done by actually fitting a spatially varying set of blur kernels to an image.
Definitely noted. Also, still prohibitive for international users due to high shipping cost.
I remember something like this called Liskell, but I think it died.
We used to rent desk space near the Old St roundabout, which is the place the article discusses. In the winter I used to have to wear gloves at work because it was so cold and draughty in the office (warehouse) we were in. They were running gloves, so I could still type, just about. Happy days.

How many animals would it take to get the exact kind of mutation needed to make something like the coronavirus? It feels like you’d need thousands in a lab, right?
I went to order a booster seat for a new childcare provider tonight and it says April 21 and everything up until now had been 2–3 days so, no, they’re not doing a great job here.
Lucky you:)

Yes the feeling and even smell of the race track, that's beyond emulation. Had a GSXR600 a long time ago, after a CBR250RR. went to the track a number of times.. Scraping my knee on Philip Island doing 180km/h, starting to have the rear slide out and catching it by only gently rolling off (#1) the throttle ... the sheer thrill of the realisation that I mastered my fear of death... Impossible to put into words, and definitely impossible simulate.

Yet, this is all we have for the time being. A number of high profile drivers were already using the laser scanned tracks and iRacing to practice their race craft prior to races. They've spent a lot of time customising their rigs and settings to their exact preferences, I'm sure this also becomes a factor.

VR is also getting better, although FOV is a limiting factor we're only just starting to improve on. (I've only tried Lenovo Explorer, immersion is amazing but struggle to see the other guys.)

With the increased attention, this is a huge opportunity for growth in the sector. One thing is for sure:
ESports will never be the same.

Having read through the first I don't know number of I don't know how many pages, I have exactly no idea what Peter Thiels's religion is, or what this person is trying to say about it.

Maybe it's sort of Christian?

One of Thiel's family members once had some books stolen from the library because her peers were jealous?

I can't figure out the motivation nor the argument of this essay.
I guess I never done serious development then.

Those toy environments on Amiga, Mac OS, Windows, Symbian, J2ME, Android.
With the recent changes, Apple seems indeed to try to strengthen the iPad as a platform. Hardware-wise, the new iPad Pro 12.9" with the new keyboard stand seems to pretty much equal, if not superior to the also refreshed MacBook air. It even has two USB-C ports, though with less versatility. Ironically the main hardware missing in comparison is the headphone jack.
The ARM chip in the iPad should compare well with the MacBook, only the limited ram could be a cons.

But where iPadOS lacks significantly behind MacOS is the software. And this is based on the AppStore rules. Applications are limited in their capabilities which would be natural on a "computer". With "Files", applications can finally exchange data, but that still has complexities for the user and is less natural than it works on the Mac.

The biggest elephant in the room is the missing ability to do any real software development on the iPad. One might say that the software developers are the minority of the users and that is correct, but the software developers are the critical group for a platform which creates the software which all the other users can use. While the AppStore on the Mac has grown over time, just look how large the software universe outside the AppStore is, to get an idea, how important this is for the Mac platform. Not even counting the number of users, which wouldn't qualify as software developers, but are running a few scripts here and there for special task, either written by themselves or grabbed from the internet and modified to their needs. And yes, sometimes you really need a shell.

It will be interesting to watch what gets shown for iPadOS 14. If the iPad should go further into the Mac space, some significant changes need to be announced. The trackpad addition goes in the right direction, but does not address the points I mentioned above.
Most FOSS contributors are devs, and might even despite design.

They definitely prefer functionality over looks.
Again, I don't think you understand crypto very well. I can buy coins on a DEX and transfer them to my hard wallet. There's no 'Verifying' or 'Knowing my address'.

Again, your government banning selling goods for crypto makes it a better investment opportunity for the world.
There are a few times where my better than average math skills were actually needed to solve a problem faced by the team I was on. These cases are so rare I'd say maybe 5 or less.

OTOH there are countless times my math sense of trends, growth, recognition of foldable cases, etc that I wouldn't be able to assess.

Can anyone give examples of math skills that would be useful day to day that a spreadsheet with simple formulas won't solve?

One example I can think of is solving a recurrence relation to get the big-O bound for an algorithm, but also rarely needed as the algorithm usually shows itself as being log, linear, poly or exp.
I ignored that part mostly ...

But that big pharma does things, that strenghten peoples believe in conspiracy is sadly not far off:

For example about Sanofi, a french pharma company.
On the german Wiki page is a section criticsm, stating various bad things, like not telling about side effects of drugs and trying to suppress that knowledge in various cases and testing in poor countries with lax standards, etc.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanofi#Kritik

(one english link: https://techcrunch.com/2015/04/14/big-pharma-small-startup)

But nothing to be seen on the english version for example.
And I heard countless other stories, of which most were surely crackpot realm, but not at all everything, so I am also not really a fan of big pharma.

I’ll wait for the mainstream IOT Shitbowl with Alexa support and an iOS app that destroys my battery life by pinging a server to give me notifications for new shit being added to the bowl.
First gen Chinese, grew up in NA. Have contact with relatives "on the ground".

My own experience: Don't ever trust the Chinese government on issues that could potentially involve the reputation of the party. Note that I'm not saying don't trust what CCP says, ever (sometimes they actually do good things) - just not on issues that involve anything to do with how the world might perceive them.

Which is exactly what this issue is about.

That's not to say we have compelling evidence that this was a lab virus, either. I think, for me, it's a, "we don't know, but I wouldn't be shocked at all if it was a lab virus".
As described in Kyle Hill's video about the incident, the proton beam crosses through air in a room to reach various instruments and that's where it was accessible to a curious head poking in.
That depends on how much time you're willing to invest. The recently DMCA'd re3 project is a full decompilation of Grand Theft Auto 3 and Vice City, through a clever combination of all released versions (eg. the Android version leaked some symbols, Renderware signatures were somewhat recognizable on PC and PS2), pre-existing community knowledge (The mission script format had already been reversed which provided many clues by looking at its interpreter, many memory addresses were known by the modding community, etc.) and just a massive collective effort, it fully reversed the cpp game that is Grand Theft Auto 3 (and VC).
> investigative journalism ... “When you tell me that a lot of rich people aren't paying tax, I’m shocked but I’m not surprised because I know that. I don’t want to read another article that tells me that”. What I want is an article that tells me why, when I’m told that, nothing happens and nothing changes.

Well that's a big ask. Who do we hold responsible for nothing changing?

Hmm. May be it's me. Not sure I'm up for getting out and confronting the police today.
> the air is notably lacking in both oxygen (for us) and nitrogen (for plants)

Minor nitpick: There are only very few plants that are able to extract nitrogen from the air. That's because N2 is a very stable molecule and it takes a lot of energy to use it chemically. Almost all plants are dependent on other nitrogen compounds they extract using their roots.

[That's the reason why the invention of the Haber-Bosch process, which fixes the N2 from the air into NH3 (ammonia), was such a big deal. It is estimated that 50% of the nitrogen atoms in your body once passed through the Haber-Bosch process.]

There's probably plenty of nitrogen in various minerals on Mars. Just not in the atmosphere.
> Everything that does not let me define the interface in HTML is a no-go for me.

Interesting. I'd say that anything that doesn't let me check that the interface contract for a component is met, i.e. that the component is receiving all the data from the parent that it has declared as required, is close to a no-go for me. I want my tools to be able to statically analyse my code and tell me where I screwed up.
Gradle have sane multi project management. Maven is very strange in that regard. Another issue with Maven is kind of hacky configuration for Kotlin build. For single project Java build Maven is my favourite tool.

Just an FYI 2-5 denotes the chapter (or section) and page. This is super common in technical manuals where sections are grouped based on content, then the page refers to the page number in that particular section.
In the U.S., dividends are taxed at the capital gains rate if you’ve held the stock for a year or more. They are taxed as income only if youv’ve held the stock for less than a year.
I rarely actually do it because f and t motions, possibly with a number, can usually handle these cases. For example, c3tA to change up to but not including the third capital A after the current position
In my case it wasn't traumatic, exactly. More, targeting.

There was an individual that I kept in my contacts, you see, for the the sole purpose that if he ever called me, I'd know to let it go to voicemail. We had been close long ago, but he stopped living in consensus reality and wasn't interested in treatment. I considered him disturbing but not immediately dangerous, just someone I didn't want to reconnect with.

When I installed Signal, he got the notification that I had done so, and immediately messaged me, along the lines of "Oh hey, you still exist! And I guess by the timing of this install, you must be at [security-focused event] this weekend, yeah? Hey let me tell you about my latest harebrained scheme..."

I understand that Signal needs to do that sort of connection to work behind the scenes, but they don't need to generate an alert on the guy's lock screen about me.
Aye, that makes sense. All my driving is on pavement.

Hey HN!

Long term lurker here - hoping to share my side project, Q.

Like most people reading this, I normally start my day off by going through the first few pages of HN, finding articles I'd like to read. If your experience has been anything like mine, you probably also open up a bunch of tabs, read a few, and eventually close the rest (especially if Chrome is eating up all your memory!). It's pretty much the same process with other websites I visit as well.

I built Q(ueue... heh) to make my online reading life easier. I wanted a simple way to add and read articles while on my computer, so I made a browser extension that lets you do things with just keyboard shortcuts (Pressing "Ctrl+Shift+Space" adds my current page, while "Ctrl+Shift+Right Arrow" fetches the next article in my queue - I can also right click add, which I find helpful when browsing HN).

In order to pick up where I left off with my phone, I created an app (on iOS only for now) that makes it really easy to add (via the share thingy) and read articles. You can even set it to open up articles in reader mode which I find gets rid of a lot of visual clutter on most pages (and annoying ads).

I've been using it for a few months now and have been quite happy so wanted to share Q with the community as well.

At the end of the day, this is really just an extremely minimal bookmarking app fine-tuned to how I personally wished they worked. I really hope you find Q useful as well!

I collect the bare minimum to create an account (username, email, and password) but I understand people might not want to create an account.

Here is an account you can use if you want to try it out first:

Well it wouldn't tell us much about consciousness per se, because what you're describing is an explanation of behavior, not the first-person experiential thing we call consciousness. Although I think there must at least be a correlation between the two. After all, when you put your hand on a burning stove, something somewhere goes "out of equilibrium", causing the reaction AND the accompanying experience of pain. It's just that we don't really understand why or how the latter accompanies the former.
Wait until iot becomes mainstream. I foresee tiny chips creating mass scale mutiny against their creators and colonizing us (best case scenario)
Companies issue stock all the time. Ideally, if a company issues, say, $1B in stock, its so they can use that money on projects that will return >$1B in value. In that case, everyone's happy because the dilution in shares in more than counteracted by the increase in revenue.

There are limits - I would assume the SEC has the ability to approve or deny new issuance of shares. If you have 1 million outstanding shares, they would probably frown upon a filing to issue 1 billion more shares.
Thanks, that's something that we're fixing on the next release.

That's a bit of an exaggeration. Many countries do not have their own currency and still manage their own economies.

Still, I take your point that it's not something they would let go of without a fight.
I'm simply saying that without data that actually shows that this is a problem, then it is inappropriate to suggest that it is.

What data do you need?

Say you are flying an airplane. All of the engines fail. Would you say that "without more data that actually shows that this is a problem, it's inappropriate to suggest relighting the engines" and wait until you smash into the ground?

No. Because you can anticipate the consequences of the current situation and make changes to prevent something bad happening.

Specifically, we're noticing that there are a lot of MRSA strains on meat. So we should probably stop feeding animals antibiotics as frequently. A good way to do this is to raise them somewhere other than in a pool of their own feces, which tends to carry a lot of disease (necessitating the overuse of antibiotics).

That's where the article is going. Should we wait for a problem in case there isn't one, or should we try and prevent the problem from occurring in the first place?
That's great feedback; to optimize pricing, we buy fabrics in bulk, so as we grow, we'll definitely be building our fabric inventory. Look out for some really awesome choices this Summer.
I had to upvote and add to this comment to emphasize your point. I haven't looked through Google's SEC filings for what Larry's actual comments are, but he does need to remember that it's not "his" company anymore and he is partially a billionaire because Google went public (in exchange for getting public money and boosting the value of his own net worth, Google has been able to use that public funding for its continued growth). He likely would've been rich had Google not gone public, but it did and it'd be hard to argue against the positive boost it has given him.

He may not owe it to public investors to give bullshit earnings guidance, but he does owe it to them to answer their questions on how he intends on managing the company and transitively the investor's money.
thanks for the clarification, that helps. getting the sizing right online is a concern for any e-commerce apparel company. we have an online sizing guide here (http://bit.ly/e7q8La) and if doesn't fit you great, we'll remake another one with new sizing for free.
> I advise experimenting with different languages and finding the one that best suits your mindset and needs.

The problem is, someone who is just starting doesn't even know what to look for. They don't know their mindset or needs, yet.

The OP advice should be taken as "these are good defaults, when you grow older you'll be able to tell what to change and, more importantly, why to change".
