I didn't understand Oxide's goal. You want to build a "computer" specifically designed for server and cloud.
But isn't that actually CPU and general hardware design (like ASIC/FPGA/etc)?

What does Rust have to do with that? Are you trying to implement Rust's high-level programming language concepts in silicon so the generated assembly would run faster compared to amd64 or M1 or whatever-used-in-servers?
I agree. Not only does it exaggerate the offense and water down a specific term, it also allows for the predictable digression: "it's not genocide, look at the US/Canada/etc trying to lie and vilify China!". That said, I'm not sure what alternative appropriately weighty term exists. Moreover, the US also does this internally all the time, with various political groups claiming genocide against various minority groups or else "concentration camps".
> It has forcibly sterilised some Uyghur women

I think setting up contributor license agreements (CLA) is a lot more important and valuable than getting a trademark.

We had an open source business without having CLAs in place and it took several months to get everyone who contributed (around 200 people) when we sold our company.

CLA Assistant easily plugs into any Github repository to make this painless.

Anyone know what the fed uptime was for last year? Or how common these types of issues are for the fed? Sounds like a massive impact if they normally move ~$3.4 trillion a day..
They don't. You can go to piano teacher once a week. You then train at home as a side hobby. You go to art lesson once or twice a week. You go to sport training 2-3 times a week and that can be it. There are plenty of clubs like that. They even have competitions one in a while - you won't be champion but you will compete against kids like you.

There are also super competitive clubs, but huge amount of them is not like that. My own kids go to clubs like that, my friends kid go to clubs like that. The teacher typically acts seriously and attempts to teach you what is possible during that time.

But scouting is whole another level, occupying afternooms, weekends and plus giving "homework" projects. The kids were either fully into it or left.
It might be blasphemous, but I'd actually love a pretty, distraction-free Markdown editor like this that supports Vim keybindings, but isn't Vim.

Am I just being lazy in learning the Vim plugin system? Are there pretty Vim frontends now that render all nicely like Ghostwriter et al?
yup, and skydiving without a parachute doesn't change your risk of death either since it is 100% anyway!

"higher risk of death" means on average people who engage in the behavior die faster.
You're overestimating the cell connectivity costs. Amazon Kindle is permanently on 3g/4g, and the device itself costs less than $200.
they didn't say a higher risk of "eventual death". At every moment in your life, you have a certain risk of death. When you reach 114 years of age, the risk is pretty high from moment to moment. Right now, fingers crossed, your risk is pretty low.

Too much sitting increases the average of the risks of death for some of the remaining moments of your life. Ha! Pedant your way out of that one!
'They' will eventually die, hopefully to be replaced by a generation that values civil liberties. In the meantime, the struggle continues.
By the way, in case you see this later, I didn't downvote any of your posts. Looks like someone wasn't happy with either of us.
Not the sharpest tool in the shed are you...
I love this idea in concept.

The point of the transcript is to lower the bar on who can review video content. One layer on top of that is moving the technical work (cutting video) into an editorial role (picking the parts that are recommended).

We aren't trying to position ourselves to do the clip picking/recommendation now, but we have already done some machine learning based analysis to make this easier to find. We have a video processing task that looks for "scene changes" based on image threshold changes, so the metadata associated to when a new person joins/slide changes/etc is present.

The original thinking here is that we can recommend "templates" that correspond with certain video (ie. multiple speakers vs single presenter).
Anyone else find it a little disturbing that the guy that runs Palantir in the UK is Oswald Mosley's grandson?
You can't really count on that, though.

All 1400 buyers could be satisfied with just 1 share that gets resold 1400 times. At even 20/share, some of the people who loaned out their shares to short-sellers are going to sell their shares when they get them back to cash in on the 1000% gains.

They could even be satisfied with 0 shares if someone is willing to short-sell. At 400/share, there were certainly plenty of people willing to short-sell.
I've stuck with Firefox through thick and thin because another browser mono-culture is something I'd strongly prefer to not happen.
The only way I see forward in the short term is "made in india 2025" ( it's not realistic, but the intent is to increase priority. A deadline soon shows the need)

It's the only country that wages can handle a long increase by capitalism ( = companies) to move production ( wages, ... )

They are more western minded.

They are with plenty of people.

The other way would be to ignore globalization and claim that companies would love production to higher wage countries.

( got downvoted into oblivion the previous time i mentioned my thoughts > 4 years ago. At least say where you would tweak the argument or give a better solution instead of only saying problems. If you have a better solution, great. Let's hear it and say what problem it could solve or where I'm wrong. I'm here to discuss and learn)
Also, why is there a jira.mozilla.com at all, and why is there a jira.mozilla.COM?
In some contexts, yes. A kid's soccer game is a place to hang out together and have fun, not to relitigate the major point of social disagreement of the day. If some kids from some other school behaved in an improper manner, deal with this problem directly, instead of taking your grievance out on unrelated community whose only crime is also being rural, so surely must be bunch of evil racists.
> What is stopping you to just keep using an older version?

CVEs, CA issues.

Firefox ESR kind of addresses this, but it's a band-aid. The new mis-features eventually show up in ESR as well.

I want an actual fork, where dumb features like "ads baked into the browser" are kept out permanently.

Look, I said that we should do this because I think it would be good for the community... I am well aware that maintaining a fork like this would be a ton of work. I was never trying to insinuate that it would be easy, just that corporate backing is both not required and an active hindrance.
"At the time there was lots of handwaving, but nobody was bringing forward the obvious, when somebody owes you north of six figures, you sue them. Not sure why that didn't contribute anything, but that's what most rational adults do in that situation. It certainly wasn't part of the thread until then."

I'm consistently amused at how people who get their comments downvoted complain about the downvoting by rephrasing the point they were trying to make in order to make it clearer and more articulate. I do it, too. The joke is that if the original post expressed your point as clearly as the complaint post, we wouldn't get downvoted in the first place.

Writing for human consumption is a frustrating and inexact task. You might sound like a complete asshole without meaning to. I, in particular, often have that problem.
Why cant these companies just pay dividends?
Inform them that your obligation to approach a mutually convenient solution discreetly is about to expire within 48-72 hours (depending on scope; your call); after which you will disclose, and syndicate the security hole to the public at large.

Inform them that you're dissatisfied by their manner of handling sensitive customer data, and the hole might already have affected existing customers without their knowledge.

And finally, inform them that should they be willing, but unable to provide a fix in timely manner, I'm available for security consultation, and implementation; e-mail me at sdrinf [at] gmail for a free initial consultation ;)
My big, boxy "desktop" isn't on my desk, it's in the closet with long cables to my desk. This keeps the noise and clutter down.
Tesla was ;p
Although I admit to be a biased worshiper. He designed all his inventions in his head, then drafted and assembled them (they all worked the 1st time). He was so unaggressive in attacking other people financially he got screwed over. It is unlikely you have used a direct invention (not a derivative/improvement) of Bell's nor Edison's but I can be certain you are typing on a computer that uses an AC power supply or charger and thus know you have use one of Tesla's.
"Scientific innovation is pushing human longevity past the traditional limits. Yet despite this upward trend, we’re still not much smarter about what we put in our bodies. "

I expect medicine to solve problems caused by my bad habits rather than preach me about them! This is to say that sugar is my only vice (I don't drink, do drugs, gamble, drive dangerously, or eat too much meat) and I'm not quite ready to give it up. You may find that infantile but if the great things in life are taken away (or substituted with tofu), what remains?
I'll be the buzz kill here. It sounds like you are struggling with coding. You seem to have a desire to learn more, but not the "motivation" to do the study required.

Do you enjoy coding? If so, why no motivation? If not, why do you want to do it? Find something you enjoy and/or something that matches your natural ability. If coding has not clicked for you yet then it might never click.
Both, really. Ideally, the animal would be having a happy life until it suddenly wasn't, and didn't exist anymore. Practically, that can mean that they're kept in their normal surroundings until the last moment, and then they're killed as quickly and painlessly as possible.

For example, the farm around the corner has a mobile slaughterhouse come to their pasture. The cows to be killed are put in one pasture, separate from the others. They're killed with a gunshot to the head, then taken away. There's no chance for the cows to stress in transport and know that the day is any different from any other, until the very last second. I'd call that humane.
Get a variable temperature water kettle, they are totally worth it. utiliTea from adagio is my favorite but I'd grab it on amazon for the best price.

When I boil water in an open pot, I can usually recognize the different temperatures by the way the water shimmers, the size of the bubbles, etc. Do that a couple times with a thermometer, and you can probably eyeball it from there.

I've heard the stages of boiling referred to as "dragon eyes", "fish eyes", etc. See e.g. http://www.veetea.com/site/articles/Water-Temperatures/ .

That said, my wife and I got an electric teakettle with a temperature setting as a wedding gift, and we love it. That's another option. (This one, or a similar model: http://www.amazon.com/Choice-SmartKettle-Cordless-4-Quart-El... )
The question is whether an Exchange wipe should wipe stuff that isn't managed by Exchange (mail / calendar / contacts). That seems like a reasonable level of granularity.

OTOH, a corporation really does want to wipe the whole thing if it's lost, which is why the Exchange level wipe works this way. It's listed as a business feature: http://www.apple.com/iphone/business/integration/
Well, statistically speaking, vegans live longer, right? That does not necessarily imply that all the benefits come from the diet, and it certainly does not say that going vegan is guaranteed to make you live longer, but it does mean that if you choose a random vegan they will be healthier than a random omnivore.

So I think if you have to choose between the statements "vegans are healthy" or "vegans are unhealthy," there's not a lot of evidence to argue for the latter.
Oh. Well. Nevermind about that part then.
I agree with what you're saying about the big issues and the 3 sources of deficits. But when considering something like the estate tax cut, it makes sense to consider the 'cost' of it in terms of either borrowing necessary to replace the lost revenue, or the cost of cutting government programs to make up for the lost revenue. The $50 billion or whatever cost of the estate tax cut might be a drop in the bucket compared to the overall deficit, but it should still be dealt with responsibly.
I've seen Ebola quarantine facilities that looked more vibrant and visually appealing.
Bitcoin is designed to undergo change. It just requires convincing enough operators to use the updated version.
Exactly, it doesn't. Only self-recursion with recur is tail optimized by the JVM
Although this is true as I understand Bitcoins it kind of ignores how it would work in practice.

Essentially, if we had a mature Bitcoin network, then we'd all have some money in it. And we obviously have an interest in keeping that money valid.

Sure, half the people could fork off with new rules for Bitcoins, but they leave behind everybody's old bitcoins in the process. As others have commented, it is a fork of the currency, but you don't get to keep your old bitcoins.

So although the rules can change, you start from scratch again. Your old bitcoins won't work in the new world of 100 bitcoins / 10 mins, and those new bitcoins won't work in the old world.

So we'd all have to start over. Ergo, it doesn't seem very likely.
Education reflects a major life decision, one which people feel strongly about. As such, it's very easy for emotion to trump a sober analysis of the situation and for the conversation to descend into the flinging of heated justifications.

All sides are just as vulnerable to this.
The former customer and her/his bank have an honest interest in ensuring PCI compliance. Have the customer tell her/his bank/CC company, and have the customer optionally contact the business. In my experience, when I reported my landlord's management company for clear text passwords, my bank (BofA) followed up and the company rolled out PCI-compliant passwords in a couple months.

As much as I like the scientific method in most other aspects of life, Taylorism has always terrified me.
It would never need to apply to HN. The site would never come close to meeting the definition of market dominance that Facebook, Google and other big tech platforms do that is drawing the regulated utility comparison.

The Federal Government is also not going to generally worry about applying anti-trust to the only pizza parlor in a small town or worry about forcing it to operate under competition and behavior agreements designed for giant monopolies.

Properly we don't apply all competition rules and restraints on all companies/entities in the same way, as all companies are not equally powerful or capable of controlling commerce.
100% this. Before the top layer (apps) on the internet get regulated as utilities, the deeper layers (ISPs) should.
Probably not - but there's a pretty strong correlation between people who think social media should be federally regulated and people who feel disproportionately moderated (fair or not) on the current web, and who believe they would be happier with zero value/quality/civility-based moderation (i.e. only legality moderation, as you suggested).
Zhaoxin Semiconductor, for one. Hygon licensed AMD's architecture as a starting point for their own stuff for another.

You're not going to find a lot in the west due to the patent issues (why follow that path when you're doomed to be sued into the ground), but there clearly is a desire to pursue x86 as an ISA (as opposed to going with ARM).
> the biggest reason why women decide to not have children is the perceived opportunity cost. Loosing on studies, career and freedom of being young

Agree. And not women only, males too. While a woman can decide to have a child completely on her own, it's most of the times a decision shared between parents. You need to take a multi-decades commitment that changes completely your life, permanently ties it with that at least two other people, and enormously reduces your space of freedom. It just doesn't make much sense.
The key insight here is that random tokens should be self-describing, so you know their intended use and therefore can make decisions and take action when one is detected.

If a script sees "ABC123" in a code commit, that's meaningless. If you see "secret-token:ABC123", now you can fail the commit with an error message: "Secret token detected in public commit, aborting."
I think that this sort of forward backward thing is a very general idea. There’s a one to many relationship called the adjoint, and a many to one relationship called the norm.

I wrote something about this here https://github.com/adamnemecek/adjoint
Social media is not a single protocol or medium like the examples you give. It's a variable set of product offerings that - at this moment in time - happen to provide a similar set of features. Perhaps if you squint, these common features resemble a protocol, but they are not.

What consistent service is it you think they should be required to provide?
Don't forget you can get similar results with spatialite.

There also are ways to do spatial queries with a z order curve.
I've posted this here before, but I think it bears restating.

If you work as a software engineer in California and have a salary of less than about 81K, you are entitled to overtime pay.

See the law here: http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/displaycode?section=lab ... (section 515.5), with 2011 and 2012 numbers here: http://www.dir.ca.gov/dlsr/ComputerSoftware.pdf

I am not a lawyer, so do your own research please. But the gist is, if you want developers who will work lots of free overtime, you have to pay them as such.
Kudos to you guys! Wish there was a bigger list like this for Toronto/Canada.
This is an extremely long video. So it probably won't be watched much. But it presents very clearly and enjoyably a strong case against the Federal Reserve. Griffin draws on history to explain how the Fed was created and why it should be abolished.

No, it helps you not-at-all that the IV hasn't been repeated; again: the attack is, "knowing what I know about the IV you're going to use to encrypt a plaintext I feed you, I'm going to feed you a plaintext that cancels out two IVs so I can use you as an oracle for any ciphertext block".

On the whole, Guido's career as a BDFL was astoundingly effective. Maybe he made the right call. It'd have been a terrible idea to alienate the science community just when data science was taking off as a field.
I don't know anything about pipenv drama, so by morbid curiosity I looked for it and this is the first thing I found:

This is one of the most ridiculous issues I've read. If the rest of the "drama" is like that, then eh.
How does flit compare to poetry? The seem to be both doing the same thing, and in a very similar way.
Atmel had some FPGAs when acquired by Microchip. Albeit Microchip is sort of where chip families go to die, so I wouldn't draw a trend from that.

Would the Xilinx/AMD acquisition make Lattice the biggest independent FPGA vendor?
The realistic threat likely isn’t a designed backdoor, but some late-stage bug (especially if server-side) that caused part of the E2E encryption or privacy story to get punted. Who would really block ship on that, esp. with hardware impact?
I was surprised not to see the old interactive Flash ads like "Swat the fly for a better insurance rate!"
It is easy to know why the world's highest-paid programmers, coding for the world's most demanding applications, use C++ and nothing but C++: nothing else is even trying to be useful in those applications.

C++ has sharp edges and pitfalls to stay clear of, so users ... do stay clear of them.

A usable, better language would gain users. But nothing is even on the horizon.

Rust is closest, but its designers have consciously chosen not to support the most powerful of C++ features, to try to keep the language more approachable. Yet, Rust complexity is already beginning to rival C++. Some of that complexity is in how to work around the language's deliberate limitations. As Rust matures it will suffer from unfortunate early choices in precisely the way C++ has, and will only get more complex.

Every choice in the C++ design has been to provide better ability to capture semantics in libraries, so that independent libraries integrate cleanly with each other and the core language. People can use libraries with confidence that they are giving up no performance vs. open-coding the same feature.

Access to the most powerful libraries depends on language features no other language implements. Thus, the best libraries will only ever be callable from C++ programs. With (literally!) billions of lines of code in production use, abandoning interoperability is not a choice to take lightly.

When you start a big project, you never know what it may come to need. If your language "won't go there", your program won't, either, and you will be stuck with unpleasant choices. This is the concept of a language's "dynamic range", a more meaningful measure than "high" or "low" alone: how high can it reach, how low can it reach, how far can it reach, at once? C++ is king of dynamic range. Nothing else comes close, or is really even trying.
Sorry the folks on fentanyl and meth on the street wouldn’t be able to afford housing regardless. It’s a mental health and and drug epidemic. Every freeway now has tents and piles of filth. It was never ever his way. No one ends up on the street because the rent got raised... they’d get a roommate or move. The people we are seeing simply didn’t exist in previous generations. Fentanyl is a lot stronger than the heroin than people were doing in the 50s.
Before they found oil, Norway was /almost/ as rich as Sweden, and Sweden is no hell-hole. Now they are of course much richer than Sweden, but it is likely that the two countries would have taken similar directions if not so much of Norway's economy was oil.

If one uses 300ppi @ 11inches as the standard for a "retinal" display, 100ppi becomes retinal at 33 inches. I don't sit quite that far from my screen, though I suppose some people may.

And a couple other popular smartphones have been retinal at their typical usage distances for several months now.
