Note that many people who say they would use a product won't actually use it once it's built, especially if the effectiveness of the product relies on network effects.
It's kind of an f'off statement considering the electric mustang looks a lot like a tesla.

I know it can't be, the design has come out too soon.

maybe don't thumb suck answers for those questions then as is currently the norm
>I feel like I am taking crazy pills with the amount of good sentiment to this design. This thing is absolutely fugly.

The funny part to me is that this design is something I saw often maybe 20 years ago. It's the stereotypical future car that major automotive design departments often came up with, and sketched up in programs like Alias AutoStudio, back when it was still Alias. None of the designs ever saw prototypes let alone production, I'm guessing largely because they were too radical for the time and thus seen as too risky.

It's like it's half future car of the early 2000s, and the other half a nod to DeLorean.

Flash forward to 2019, the world's falling apart and going crazy at the same time, things feel a lot more surreal, advancements are becoming too numerous for the average person to keep track of, AI is a big deal, smartphones and all manner of tech are just a boring fact of life now, and as always the future is right around the corner, but for real this time.

Likewise, 80s and early 90s nostalgia is in vogue right now. Cyberpunk 2077 is nearing release. For the target audience of this car, they remember the 80s because they either grew up in it or lived it.

When you lay eyes on this thing, you immediately go "What the fuck, is that a real car?" I can think of no better marketing.

It's a rather genius design in my opinion, a retrofuture tribute to a future that never was, but now is.

Analysis aside, I tend to agree with you: it's pretty ugly, but for some reason I really like it.
Isn't the TeX support in Jupyter based on MathJax?
How did you make the SVGs though? Did you draw them yourself, or get them somewhere else?
I heard tagged PDF is one of the goals of LaTeX3, and LaTeX3 work has thus far been available as packages on top of LaTeX2e, which means it should work on LaTeX2e too. I’ve never tried it though.

From a purely pragmatic view (though I hope nobody makes friends for purely pragmatic reasons) I think befriending one's neighbors avoids a whole lot more problems than it avoids.
In fairness to Sam, he didn't actually submit it to HN, he just blogged about it.
> that type of stimulus would require an act of Congress, who apparently can't get their collective heads out of their own asses at the moment.

Yes that is the problem. I believe that the Fed's powers should be expanded to allow giving that money directly to the people, instead of only to banks and financial markets.

If we really cared about minimizing unemployment beyond simply paying lip service to it, we'd institute a job guarantee.
Good point. Yes, there is government housing, where the rent and utilities are subsidized or free, based on need. I was thinking of low-income folks who live in their own homes.

Totally understand where you're coming from, we the same concern at the beginning. We read through a bunch of TOSs and found that some prohibit the bars from modifying the stream, but they're allowed to change the channel / input whenever they want. We specifically designed our hardware to comply with this by changing the input on the TV instead of modifying the cable stream.
I can say that a well trained artillery properly positioned and being able to move rapidly can take out tanks. Artillery can hit something they can't see. Tanks are not known for hiring targets 2 hills/5km away, Artillery is. A lot depends on the terrain and the intel available.

By artillery I don't mean super ebganced guided missile systems by good old Howitzers 105, 155.
> What I think is wrong, is then for facebook (or other apps) to sell, or leak that data in enough detail to match to our identity where it can be used for other purposes.

That's what everyone thinks is wrong. FB (and Google, and LI, etc) already tell you they won't use your data for other than ad purposes and that they won't resell your data as PII. The problem is

a) policing it

b) in case of inadvertent disclosure, there's no remedy. privacy compromises are permanent.

To date, it's a tradeoff we (society) have been willing to take.
Killing 500 civilians would be considered a war crime if anyone else except US military does it.
Yup. If any of this class of product were any good, we'd be using them right now. And even if Intel produced the best of breed, how much computing power can be wringed out of the power supplied by USB (say 10W max, which is generous)? Not much.

(This product line is DOA.)
BTW, in case it's worth mentioning, this stuff happened last summer (i.e. end of Aug. 2014).

FWIW, the story seems to have made it to HN around that time, though it only got 2 comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8236027
I used to have a portainer centric setup.. now I just use docker-compose directly. I have my compose split into different files with a makefile to keep things "make start" simple. Highly recommend.
I take issue with this: "Line up elements in groups of five (this number 5 is not important, it could be e.g. 7 without changing the algorithm much)."

The correct statement is that you can replace 5 with any larger number and the algorithm still works, but 5 is the least number you can pick here. That's the most interesting part of the algorithm to me - that "5" is connected to median-finding in the same way that "2" is connected to divide in conquer searching in a sorted array. But 2 is more obviously interesting than 5 (you can say "dividing something in 2 makes it smaller", but there aren't very many similar things you can say about 5).
Your instinct is correct.
Merlin can really turn a phrase, powerful. But...

He has complained publicly that he has about 3x too much for the book. I'd say it is about time to let the editor do some editing, at least let her take a pass to make suggestions on how to simplify.

Or perhaps he is deliberately scuttling the book deal after realizing he can make more money self-publishing an ebook?
It's not weird (or at least it never was for me), because you know all those people too! The point of the article was that people "on the internet" are real people too.
Tell: Maybe. Depends on my relationship with the client and the situation.
Responsibility: NO.

My general rule is I am not their business advisor or market analyst (unless they hire me for those roles), something that looks crazy to me might be a great business idea/wish. I don't want someone to shy away from their dream because I can't view it from their perspective.

If I was giving advice and if New York times would have come to me for their paywall, I would have said not a good idea, but than I would have lost a $40million project and lost any credibility as a good business person because I said no to a great business opportunity.

Although I have lots of business experience, when I am getting paid to be a Developer or Designer that is where I should limit myself to.

I've met lots of people from online. Some networking events have their invite lists on Facebook. If so, I look up the people attending and message the ones I have the most in common with. It turns out that these people become the best friends I make at the meetups!
That works, but it's not what users want. Granted this is personal anecdata, but I've spent years pushing back on client expectations in the name of architecting things in a way the web supports at the lowest levels, and it's been an exercise in failure. No user is going to accept that behavior in a blog, and frankly as a reader on the internet, I find that solution pretty lame as well. I absolutely agree with minimizing the impedance mismatch between how we develop and how the web actually works and the associated tool-chain simplifications that come with that, but at some point we have to accept that web tech just wasn't designed to do what we need from it and add some layers on top. The challenge is balance.
I was also disappointed by the atricle's end: Pretty much only the Dijksta quote was worth reading. The title promised to backup the claim with a real-world experience of OOP, but alas, it did not deliver such.

OOP is better where you code more readably(in comparison with procedural) and where it makes you enjoy coding more. The conditions for when it does that differ from persons to person and from project to project.

I personally like OOP because it helps me focus on different abstraction levels at the same time, and it helps me stay in the flow.
Disagree! If a programmer is good or bad is not a quality separate from how they actually develop programs! A good programmer is good because they choose appropriate tools and methodology etc.
I think both authors miss the point that historically (esp. post WW2 which corrected the abberation during WW2) that capital flow was increasingly borderless.

It has been labor that is held back in some anachonistic time warp with visa restrictions and so on. In prior times, European colonialism in Asia precisely solved the labor issues by directly annexing, then enhanching, controlling, and regulating the historical Asian labor productivity flows.

After decolonization, with diversions to socialist/communist and autarkic models in Asia, most of these countries are now back in the game largely in control of developed (and mostly Western) nations.

You have to see the regulation of labor in these slightly larger timelines to appreciate what is happening even in SV, and in other parts of the world.

Majority of labor needs were of blue-collar variety, but thanks to technology, even white-collar labor is not immune to this economic rationale of matching capital to labor.

Borders will dissolve (they are mostly unnatural and artificial barriers), and before people bring up all the cultural and historical rights, even these items are ultimately driven by economics. High-tech jobs are no different in this equation and are driven by the same forces.

The only thing that can upset globalization trends is war which is precisely what happened with WW1 and WW2 in the 20th century (which also arrested the globalization trends which started to peak just prior to WW1). You want to stop labor migration flows? Start preparing for war.

The other possibility is for the labor vs capital imbalances to level out - for e.g. China and India become sufficiently advanced and developed to a point where there is no need for them to export their surplus populations, exactly how the British did in 18th and 19th century as they colonized North America (USA and Canada), Australia, and South Africa.
> I think you got it wrong. We are irrational no matter what. And we are blind to our own blindness, so we cannot even comprehend, that we are very irrational, unless, of course, we study it.

I was the (or a) downvoter. While your point is certainly correct that humans are irrational animals and there is no way around it, that seemed essentially irrelevant to the specific question of whether performing a rational analysis, and then acting against it, should count as a rational or an irrational action. (To be fair, it is highly relevant to the discussion as a whole, just not, I think, to this thread.)
I don't think class is defined solely in terms of income is it? Isn't class more about background, education, politics, lifestyle, tastes and culture? You can be poor but upper class, and you can be a millionaire but working class.
Thanks @jkbyc , yes, I know this rule of thumb, and know that many people even recommend a stronger ratio (like the more you distribute, the better).

I recently found the following : http://everyday.marketing/the-real-challenge-of-content-mark... where the moto is 'think about distribution before thinking about creation'.

In your own case @jkbyc, do you blog for your startup ?
Until very recently, in human terms, there were neither employers nor employees nor the ability to communicate with humans outside the immediate geographic area.

I don't think he's mainstreamed there, but he definitely has a growing fanbase on the Anglophone internet.
The rate of information transmission was much higher in 2010 than in 2000.

If Bitcoin had been invented in 2000, it wouldn't have been more than a technical curiosity in the hands of a few crypto-nerds in very niche internet forums. Since it was invented in 2010 it easily spread through Facebook, Reddit and other universal social media before making the jump via mainstream news to non-technical people.
I did not have much time so I attended only a few talks. However, I was very pleasantly surprised how well it worked. Not only technically - it just works great having the video stream in a chat window where people can freely talk to the presenter. Maybe I'm even going to miss that on real-life FOSDEM which was inherently less interactive.

Congratulations to the Matrix and FOSDEM teams.
I think the tricky part is Nomad merges replica count + definition into Group, while K8s separates Pod/RS/Deployment (and uses RS to orchestrate upgrades, which I think Nomad handles on its own somehow?).

Job ~= Deployment

Group ~= Replicaset/Pod combined

Task ~= container in pod
It loads when you are in a large number of rooms and it has to pull and decrypt large amounts of backlog. But its really not that long.
Strings are immutable on the Python side. On the C size, however, PyUnicode_Resize is part of the PEP 384 Stable ABI and very specifically tries to resize the string in-place (it's normally intended for string-building).
Not staged in real life, but poorly Photoshopped.
I didn't think bitcoin wasn't going to be special in that regard either, because states have shown ability to tax and regulate the finance of citizens before anything electronic ever existed, with cash, gold, cows, farmland, personal goods and more, and they would just go back to those old methods with something like bitcoin or monero.

Also they're willing to add a lot of inefficiency to their economies to retain financial control of their countries.

"The survey also found that 45% of Europenas expect to be making video calls via their home TV’s by 2012."

Personally, I'd hope we end up with something a bit like The Culture - which is perhaps the most positive scenario for any society made up of 'humans' and powerful AIs.
Sorry to be slow but can you elaborate on your statement?
> There are formal codified processes and there are informal tribal ones

True but misleading. A lot of the time the difference is simply doing a bunch of process activities versus not doing them. E.g. imagine team A develops software in a more-or-less sensible way, and team B spends 80% of their time doing the same things that team A does and 20% of their time estimating how long those things are going to take. It seems fair to say that team B has not just different processes from team A or less formal processes than team A, but actually has more process than team A.

> Processes mitigate risk. Just because that risk isn’t important to you doesn’t mean that risk isn’t important to someone.

Processes can be a mechanism for mitigating risk. They can also be entirely devoid of value.

I'm not saying all process is worthless, but someone who wants you to follow a process should be able to tell you who that process benefits and how. If the only reason you're following the process is because it's the process, it's probably a waste of time.
That’s the whole point though? They’re paying for you to enable notifications, and you can decide if the price is fare
It is called lean startup
A lot of bloat however, is caused by uptake of the frameworks and having to also support older versions etc.

As long nobody but you uses it you can add/rewrite as needed while keeping bloat to a minimum.
Certainly false flag operations are a tactic that has seen reliable and regular use, especially in counterintelligence. But what purpose exactly would a false flag operation against SONY serve? Definitely not as a pretext to take action against North Korea - the US could much more easily justify actions against NK than it has many other nations in its history.
So I should compromise my users security for the incredibly obscure use-case of people who want to browse with their own hand-made tools?

There are several readily available TLS stacks for embedded systems (CyaSSL, PolarSSL, etc.) and plenty for other platforms (Open/Libre/BoringSSL, NSS, etc.), so 'people without a working TLS stack' is not a real-world use case you need to take into account.
Very interesting.

Any historical trading data available?

Also, does each user operate under the same settings?

Seems like more users = less arbitrage opportunity because we're competing against each other.

Who gets priority when trading? Or is it more like we're pooling our money for arbitrage, and then each node gets a proportional split based on their deposit amount (like a mining pool)?
When I stumbled across a Verizon Wireless security problem last year, their security team was the silver lining in what was otherwise a terrible experience.

(I was a bit disappointed that it took so long to find that team -- only found them through unrelated news stories asking the public to report any signs of infrastructure sabotage during a labor negotiation breakdown.)

They ultimately weren't able to help me, and I had to resort to other more drastic means to reach the right people.

It's really difficult and nerve-racking to have to deal with this type of run-around under the threat of possible prosecution.
China's population is well over 1.4 billion. They need to create new jobs every year with the same rate that some countries do in a decade. I think it's pretty significant that they are able to run a country with that demographics most of whom were not even educated.

China still benefits from its US relationship overall. The US does benefit too, but the US also wants to slow down their growth because it's a big threat to its power. I think everything else like human rights issues are just BS. We're partner with most of Arabian countries in the Middle East and we have active arms sell to them including Saudis which are far worst than China in terms of democracy and human rights.
Probably not a huge priority for them as I understand Rosetta can run the Intel version on M1

It may depend on the background of who you're talking to. Programmers may be very comfortable with diffs, but non-programmers (in my case, physics graduate students) usually aren't. On the other hand, everybody is familiar with snapshots: even high school student will end up with "report_v1.docx", "report_v2.docx", etc, which are snapshots at the file level (and work reasonably well as long as you have a consistent scheme and don't need branches). I've also routinely seen less-technical people organize their research / paper writing by making a weekly snapshot of their work folder ("project-2020-04-1"). Telling these people that git basically does the same thing for them automatically with a tree-like "labeling scheme" that allows for branches tends to go over quite well, in my experience. For actually programmers, I'd be inclined to give them a more technical introduction to git's internals. I'd still point out that git stores compressed snapshots, not diffs (especially if they're older and may have previous SVN experience)
I don’t recall any superspreader events after Trump rallies either.

And no I just think lockdowns have done far more harm than good. This paper is a meta-analysis of 54 prior studies that involved a total of 77,758 subjects reporting secondary transmissions in households.
Conclusion: Asymptomatic people are not a factor for spreading Covid: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33315116/

FYI that study has been cited a few times by the CDC even.

So yeah all this masking and social distancing has really not been needed. If you have symptoms then stay home should have been the guidance.
That's different thing; the copied data includes only file data itself, not metadata. From the documentation

- on shutil.copyfile:

> Copy the contents (no metadata) of the file named src to a file named dst and return dst in the most efficient way possible. src and dst are path-like objects or path names given as strings.

- on "Platform-dependent efficient copy operations":

> On macOS fcopyfile is used to copy the file content (not metadata).

On top of the shutil module:

> Warning

> Even the higher-level file copying functions (shutil.copy(), shutil.copy2()) cannot copy all file metadata.

> On POSIX platforms, this means that file owner and group are lost as well as ACLs. On Mac OS, the resource fork and other metadata are not used. This means that resources will be lost and file type and creator codes will not be correct. On Windows, file owners, ACLs and alternate data streams are not copied.
Not really: if you do a checkout of a snapshot into an empty directory, you expect the entire state at the time of the snapshot, not just the diffs.
Hey Thierry Coquand please change your last name, it's offensive for me to write it down in this comment.
Enriching the responses with demographic data, extracting interesting features with NLP and then clustering against those features could give you some good insights.

I.e. Millennials in Belgium are not happy with their toy stores.
The specs are a bit weird.

For example, they don't mention stack overflows at all. But since standards compliant compilers spit out code that suffers from them, I assume they are allowed.

So I assume you could make a standard compliant compiler that doesn't nothing but immediately overflows the stack.
The media went out of their way to make people think that Coronavirus was basically the only cause of death this year.

Combined with the bogus "positivity rate" that most lay people misinterpreted as the percentage of the population currently infected, this has been coordinated disinformation on a mass scale.
