Probably a spider-like robot, with 8 arms/legs would be the ideal. I could also see a dog-like robot with four legs which give twice the traction with a low center of gravity as well. Or novel designs, like what we saw in the Interstellar movie.
Just a little perspective...I've got Sky Broadband and turning off this filter took a couple of clicks. Actually it might have even just been one, and that's it.

It's been harder to access age restricted content from other providers like Three for over a decade. Access to adult content through the Three network requires you to sign up with a credit card to prove your age for example.

Neither of these situations are ideal, nor are they catastrophic. Just retain a little perspective and afford these companies the courtesy of believing the intent is well meaning.

Of course there are slippery slopes and changes throughout the years, but also remember we're an 800 year old democracy (almost), that's _probably_ not going to change and it's good to keep a level head about this stuff.
> Yeah, exactly! People watch TV for entertainment. TV ads don't work.

TV ads are often entertaining, and you don't have to go out of your way to view them (you usually don't have a choice). Ads on Facebook and other sites are often seen as intrusive and usually ignored. In the case of Stack Exchange's Careers page, you have to explicit go to it to view the listings.

Very different things.
Unfortunately, Disconnect (new version is $5/month for any protection) is not as good as Ghostery and the sketchy part of it is Ghostrank which is easily disabled.

Your answer was unrelated to my question... mdellabitta stated he was running Disconnect with ABP and Ghostery all together which is redundant and I was asking why he would be doing that.
"We use a linear model with . . . . . " ... that's what most HN'ers clicked the link for; and not to actually search listings. I wish you had linked to a nice, long nerdy writeup about the product, instead of the product itself (which, while interesting in general, is not as much for this crowd).
My twitter account got flagged as suspicious even though I haven't used it during the past few months and have a long random password. Now they want my mobile number to "verify" me in addition to a captcha. It is ridiculous and ovcoiolsly tech companies can't be trusted with personal data of that caliber. I have never used my real name with that twitter account and now they want to know it all, why? Greed is my guess.
Most police officers don't get murder charges anyway. Civil court exist for something. Saying that people should sue criminal instead of civil is up to the victim team not you.

If people don't want to be sued civil they should do a better job first. Removing bs laws that don't regulate anything anyway would be good also.

Laws are meant to be respected not to be dodge because your job is important. Everybody job is.
Can you clarify what you're talking about? I do not believe that GDPR regulations prevent Facebook from notifying their users about a data breach.

I mean, GDPR is a joke but that would be absolutely nonsensical.
I've been attracted to pregnant women since I was 3. Not gonna discuss my childhood much cause I do consider it private but it wasn't a sexual attraction then, but it was definitely a "I can't look away because I like looking at it" thing.
I'm a longtime Firefox user, but I only found out about compact mode from the discussion on HN when it was first announced it would be removed. I've been using it since and really like it. Can't help wondering whether many more people would be using it if they knew about it.
>There's no data about prevalence of long-term symptoms after an infection yet

There's also no data about the prevalence of long-term symptoms of the covid vaccines, since it's literally impossible to test the 2-5 year effects of something that's only existed for one year, so by your logic should non-at-risk populations avoid taking that?
"An Leetcode A Day Keeps Unemployment Away"

I almost completely forget my "Interviewing Skills" - AKA solving leetcode style interview probelms, when I actually get a job. Those are arguably some of the toughest problems I've tackled in my career. Probably more so than any "real work" done on the job simply because of the nature of the pressurecooker interview setting.

The best solution to that seems to be constantly drilling leetcode problems.
The data isn’t public. It’s based on the friend finding feature. If you fill a contact list with phone numbers Facebook will automatically suggest the person with that number as your friend. So if you make a contact list with all possible phone numbers, you can know who they belong to.
Most health authorities have made a tradeoff regarding vaccination strategy. There is an argument to be made that it would be better to vaccinate the groups that would spread the virus most in their day-to-day activities, such that herd immunity (for the groups that actually spread the disease, making it available to everyone) is achieved faster.

But my impression is this decision has been too hard to defend, since it would necessarily mean more deaths in risk groups while the vaccination campaign is ongoing. And the difference in time to herd immunity is relatively small if vaccine access is good, only a quarter or two.

I will definitely have a look at this release, it seems to bring quite a few changes. We've been happily using Riot in production environments for nearly a year now, since before 1.0 release. I can't tell enough how happy I am with this framework. It's incredibly easy to build quite complex interfaces. Thanks Muut for that!
Outsourcing generally depends on what project specifically you want to outsource, and the work quality varies immensely. Personally, I've had a reasonable experience dealing with an outsourced logo development project, but a terrible (and relatively expensive) one with an outsourced web development project. I learned the hard way: when you hire an outsourced web developer, you get a web developer (read: they'll make you a webpage), not a designer or product engineer.

The key theme is to be involved every step of the way and have a clear idea of what you're looking for.

When your reply to criticism consists of only the statement that you are skeptical of that criticism, it is an implicit rejection of the criticism. I think almost any human would read it that way.

Yes, all he said was that he was skeptical. But if Stallman really is just commenting that he is skeptical, it is a poorly timed observation. I suspect you are wrong and that he means more than the literality of what he is saying.
Hah, very nice! I'll make sure this gets implemented. I'm sort of kicking myself for not doing it myself, but I just never noticed that images were loaded again on each request...
In communication courses, I learned that a rule of feedback is that the receiver is allowed to refuse it, which actually makes sense as feedback is quite subjective. I don't know if that is specifically German (Wikipedia tends into that direction).

Still I agree with your and the original poster opinions. RMS should reflect a bit on that.
I don't know what parts of early GCC were his, but http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacs#GNU_Emacs suggests Emacs 13.x or 15.x source tarballs from around 1985 would be mostly his own work. I don't know whether they'd still be around, though. The oldest I can find at a glance is http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/old-gnu/emacs/emacs-18.59.tar.gz from 1992, and I don't know how many other contributors there had been at that point.

I do a lot of hiring. It drives me crazy that applicant names (which signal gender and ethnicity) are literally the first thing I see in our candidate screening system.

So I wrote a GreaseMonkey script to replace candidate names with dictionary words. It isn't perfect -- names show up on resumes, and every other stage if the hiring process. I wish name-substitution were a standard feature of these systems!
I maintain that it is still a rhetorical trick. "If you oppose X, you must be okay with Y" is very common. Underhanded and unfair, but it happens all the time.
Someone care to enlighten me on what justifies the editorialized title, other than the fact that in 1940 it must have been assumed by default to be "whites-only"? Nothing in the first dozen pages jumps out.

EDIT: assuming that the search functionality works, searching on the usual suspect words turns up nothing of relevance, though one hotel apparently advertised that their service staff were comprised of black people, which seems to be an odd thing to advertise even in 1940. Otherwise, just a few uses of an outdated term to describe a college and someone's stories about (or perhaps written by) black people.
Thanks for digging this up. Much appreciated.

Again, I may have missed the secret handshake because even internal job postings at the company I currently work for (and have for over four years) baffle me. I frequently talk to people at work and ask them what they do and get a title, which typically means nothing to me, and then I ask again "But what do you do?" Even the job I have currently has changed a good deal in the time I have been in it. I find the whole thing difficult to fathom. Again, stuff I have read suggests my befuddlement is hardly unique.

If it helps you enormously to know the company name, you have some kind of advantage over me.

This should be news to no one. The Fourth Amendment prohibits "unreasonable searches." Searches at the border for contraband and dutiable goods have never been deemed "unreasonable" because they're always been considered a routine part of border enforcement. One of the very first thing the founders did after ratifying the Constitution was to create a customs department for performing warrantless border searches.

Sometimes, article have low information/length ratio.

This one has a ton information of information, but still fail to satisfy because it has a low point/information ratio. It just rambles on with data points and examples.

AFAICT, the points made are:

* Apple switched from vans to subarus for data gathering. (IOW, they changed their data acquisition equipment.)
* Their new equipment must be better, because Apple seem to have thrown away all data they acquired with vans.
* Yet, they still lack tons of labels and mis-label / mis-place many buildings / store etc.
* Apple seems to be processing data faster than they used to.

... and even these points are must of the shrug / why would I care category, except maybe the fact that most cities are not labeled.

Take-away: you're better off with google street view.
We're already there, anyway. Proprietary drivers are super common not just in Android, but across embedded devices everywhere.

Some companies just flagrantly violate the GPL, and little ever comes of it.

Others ship minimal shims in the kernel, and put the proprietary bits in userland code or some such. This seems to be more common, where vendors will technically release their kernel fork, but the code will be obfuscated or just generally useless without the proprietary blob that goes with it.

I'd much rather the kernel just have a stable ABI so these kernels could at least be freely updated instead of being stuck with the hacked together fork with its proprietary shims.

Nvidia could easily fix all this by allowing customers to preorder cards at MSRP and ship them when they become available. We can blame the scalpers and miners all we want, but nvidia is at best complicit.

I've never heard a physicist claim the sum of all positive integers is -1/12. Such people may exist, but they are extremely rare.

And the Dirac delta is the limit of a function with integral 1, not a function.

Maybe you need to hang out with a better class of physicists? There are certainly plenty of mathematicians who believe odds things, but I'd be leery of tarring the whole lot with the same brush.
I hate how bloated software development has become nowadays and I hate all these tools which keep raising warnings about vulnerabilities which are not relevant to the use case.

It's unbelievable that we live in a society where we're obsessed with achieving 100% test coverage of all our small petty software systems but our monetary system itself (the mother of all systems) is not even integration tested... First time anyone ever heard the word 'test' when discussing the financial system was 'stress test of the banking sector' after 2008 crisis and these tests are so superficial, it's a joke! What's worse about the monetary system is that known vulnerabilities don't even get patched after decades of active exploits! With all its unnecessary bureaucracy, the software industry is a joke. What is the point of all this rigorous software testing infrastructure when the entire environment within which the software exists is unsound and untested? Managers don't trust their developers... But it's the managers who don't deserve to be trusted.
Lol that doesn't surprised me, classic.
That is not in line with the blind taste tests I have seen. The vast majority of people not only can't pick out the more expensive wine, they also tend to prefer the cheaper wines.
Amazon is good job though. A shitty job would pay $10 an hour, lack the benefits, and still just get rid of you on a whim. Also, multiply by .8 to get the takehome pay - $15/hr isn't netting 40k without overtime.
What would be key would be getting the chip designers to optimized their chips to support common operations in those OSs super efficiently. that is part of what makes the Apple Silicon chips so effective. With Window and Linux, there is no vertical integration and the chip makes are not focusing on this kind of optimization.

While I'm not of these meme investors who thinks Buffett is "washed up", I confess that I've increasingly wondered if it's just sorta over. In some sense, it's not his fault. Berkshire has grown so large that it has significant scale problems. I joke that Buffett found the investing equivalent of the Donkey Kong kill screen, he basically broke the game. It's incredible.

But there have been self-inflicted issues. The seemingly unconditional refusal to explore technology companies. (While his Apple investment was great, even Buffett would tell you this is a consumer company and not a tech company) The allowing of the two new managers to keep breaking Berkshire's rules, such as not investing in IPO's, or not investing in airlines. The large write down in PCP. The double-speak about "never bet against America" while remaining paralyzed during the COVID panic. Maybe these things are moot compared to the scale problem.

But I think the more disheartening issue is Buffett's last 5-6 letters have been forgettable, and today's was really just a recap of Berkshire's main assets, not offering anything particularly insightful or interesting. I think he's still doing an admirable job but Berkshire just isn't what it used to be. Everything has a cycle.

I like that it's short and somewhat curated, try to make it stay that way. Most awesome lists grow to be link dumps. For instance the awesome-js is over thousands lines long now, containing all sorts of random crap. It can be nice as a way to know what's out there, but when it contains 40 mvc alternatives in addition to react/angular and other big ones, it's just not useful.
> Completely agree on this. I don't believe in innate talent.

A little critical thinking shows there must be innate talent.

Most human abilities / behaviors / properties vary around a central mean. Some people are short, some are tall. Some are smart, some... less so. Some are naturally good at something, others are naturally bad at it.

As an anecdotal data point, my daughter could stand on my outstretched hand pretty much from the time she could stand. The first time I tried it (over a king sized bed), she did it without any problems or concerns. No other kid I've met could do the same.

That's an innate talent.

The "10,000 hours" idea is also a myth.

Practice helps, but you soon reach a limit set by your genetics. And some people are likely to have genetics better suited to the problem at hand.
I haven't read the article, but I'll always hold Bill Gates to be a "star" for his ability to forge a company that was consistently able to produce software that basically worked (as in didn't seg/protection fault). I've long said that was a secret of their success, e.g. part of how they beat all of their Office competitors but WordPerfect during the transition to Windows.

It makes a difference when your CEO is a serious programmer (how many of us could rewrite an 8080 assembly BASIC interpreter on a long plane ride without the benefit of a computer?). Far too many companies in the '80s and beyond (the period I started following) came out with one working product and then basically lost their ability to write software, often by burning out or otherwise not retaining their key programmers (Lotus is a classic example).

I'll bet a lot of you young whippersnappers who are using safe languages (e.g. not C/C++) and one or a very few small teams don't know from harsh experience how fragile a software based enterprise can be. Fast CPUs that can easily afford the overhead required for safety and the tremendous leverage of today's Internet enhanced development environment (that e.g. allows the building of huge libraries like CPAN) have given you fantastic advantages, which you are making the most of.
After a while, your ears get all hot, and the in-ear headphones tend to hurt after a while

I haven't experienced this. I wear IEMs every day, and have worn them on 14-hour flights. Perhaps it depends on the person. In any case I don't see why they would be hotter (or hurt more) than silicone earplugs.

in-ear phones are more dangerous to your hearing than regular ones

Citation? Given that they block more noise than other earphones, logic would dictate that you don't need to play them as loud to achieve the same clarity. I find that I keep the volume on my iPhone very low when I use IEMs, as opposed to near-maximum when using the supplied earphones or headphones.
I have created a solution to this problem.

For $500/mo. you can "work" for me.

The process is similar to basic hosting sites. You can pick from a variety of "companies" and "jobs". They range from BigCo type companies to small startups. Jobs range from developer to management.

The oil in the fry vats, when it got too old for fries, was put into the pie or fish vats.

> Its also important to know that fries are never ever cooked in the same grease used for chicken nuggets, fish filets, etc. I'd be curious to know what that tastes like if anyone has every broken the rules and tried it

The fries would pick up the flavor of the fish or pies and taste weird. Since the vat temperatures are different, and the vat sizes are different, the fries would not come out consistently fried either.
I've often wondered about Chefs in this respect, too.

While it seems really unfair that the guy who 'invented' Bannoffee Pie never made his fortune from it it has generally been of benefit to society as:

a) we can all eat Bannoffe pie as anyone can make it
and
b) it doesn't appear to stifle the creation of new recipes.

Plus if there had been IP protection for the creation of Bannoffee pie I seem fairly sure that the Chef would never have seen any benefit - just the owner of the restaurant and whichever chain store or supermarket he eventually sold the IP to.
