There is a financial incentive to create free software primarily from companies that build closed server side software on top of free software, like Google. Or from companies that use free software in closed platforms, like Apple. If that's where you want the world to go, then well, ok...I don't.
> What if baryons are electrostatic black holes?

They can't be the equivalent of black holes because things can escape from them in nuclear reactions.
Google "uzbl".
Is the plan that you develop apps for this thing using C# (or any .Net language) plus special libraries? Or will the somewhat real-time nature of 3D imagery integrated with the real world using a lightweight mobile device require something closer to the metal?
Since, as you say, educating everyone is not possible, you can't destroy the business model. So let's keep the 'magical fixes' out of the discussion.

How does blaming the criminals distract from finding a real solution? (You haven't yet even suggested a viable solution that we could be distracted from)
Windows are getting better and better.

95/98 crashed all the time, xp crashed if you really tried.
Windows 7 hasn't crashed once after two years of daily usage, and/or keeping it running without a restart for months. Even when the system locks up due to user abuse( me ), and would require a reboot on anything older, you just wait a minute and it recovers.
I used 'but' to call attention to the group conducting the research as I feel that's important for context and full disclosure when referencing a study. My intention was not to discredit the research or Amnesty International.
You will find that many people just aren't motivated enough for things like side projects. It's the same thing with business. I have tried 3 times (and failed) to start side-businesses with friends..and failed each time because my friends were not motivated enough to spend their free time on something besides relaxing or partying.
""Society of Mind" by Minsky is a very interesting read. It's more high level and philosophical, but it's definitely worth it. It's almost 30 years old though, and I'm not sure how much his work has held up to modern theories - I don't follow that field too closely."

I am currently reading Society of Mind, and there is defintley still value in the book, there was a recommendation I read somewhere (probably HN) that his newer book The Emotion Machine makes a good follow up to SoM to cover some more recent ideas. That is what I plan to do.
No, at least 50% of your team must be students.
Basic JSON for RadioParadise.com website. But may help some one else code new web app.
You're moving the goal posts here, pretty significantly. He didn't want them to disclose his identity, because he didn't want his patients to see his name blasted out in major media as that could potentially impact their care. This seems entirely reasonable, and well within the range of requests that NYT grants to many subjects of their articles. You can think it's unreasonable, because if you are trying to connect SSC to an IRL name you could find it, and that's fine. I don't, because I think Alexander should've been given the exact same deference NYT offers others.
I guess I just don't care how they chose to refer to Virgil Texas. If it was me, I'd probably have used his real name.
Thanks for the ad hominem attack. FYI, I have no google stock, never worked for google, have never contributed to a google open source project. If they’re supposed to be paying me for pointing out common sense on this thread ... they’re late on their payment.
your boss sleeps with you
Dan’s the best. We work together, and we’re hiring. I’m biased but I think we have the most fun at Google. :)
It's never the facts people have contentions with, it's the conclusions. Facts can support conclusions, but it is far too easy to manipulate facts (see: lies of omission) to present misleading conclusions. So while I agree with your sentiment, I completely disagree that one should embrace challenging conclusions because they are challenging.
Lol! That's what I get for using my phone :D
Reminds me of instances where I played with Craigslist scammers who sent fake PayPal emails and asked to ship to countries like Nigeria, Sudan, etc. I used to create a new usps label (and request refund later) and give it. When there's no activity i asked them to call the post office and speak to them. Used to be fun
Can't really blame Google for deciding to move away from Java after the Oracle lawsuit.
> I hope big tech buries the NYT.

I don't. I do wish Cade Metz hadn't made a mess of this story though, because it's a story worth pursuing. As the impact of Silicon Valley's policies on society continues to grow, it would be good to understand where decision-makers are getting their ideas.
> "and they think that this is what they want, but I honestly believe that nobody want to risk to fail in love for a nobody..."

Wow, that's a whole lot of bullshit right there. That kind of thinking is why we have religion and politics. Men thinking they know what is best for everyone else.
Hopefully this is one of those acquisitions where the acquired company ends up taking over and reinventing the acquiring company.
Wufoo is YC W06.
This would be a better concept if it just used your mobile phone proximity over Bluetooth.
I just finished building a shell last week for my University operating systems course. It's interesting to see the difference in quality when a person is looking to make a project for themselves that they are writing about vs fulfilling requirements from a document.

Although this seems to be missing a few things like & and pipe, I find it very interesting how so many people can Implement a shell differently with the same C syscalls.
Good point indeed. Healthcare related expenses can derail one’s finances regardless of income level. How to finance both will be difficult for most countries but it is worth to experiment around the concept and fine tune over time.
The fuel for the PHEV still needs to be extracted, processed and burnt. It's not non-existent.

Secondly, the weight and complexity of a PHEV is comparable if not more than a pure BEV. So when it comes to lugging around stuff, PHEVs are absolutely not the answer too. The answer probably is a BEV with a smaller battery.
Because it's much easier to just subtract the UBI at tax time from the high earners than to create an entirely new bureaucracy deciding who gets UBI.
Same. Love em. My current one is dying. Are there any similar ones on the market?
> Responding to a threat definitely validates it.

I'm not sure what you mean by "valid threat". If you mean the capability of the threat to cause damage if carried through, that's something we don't find out until the party that made the threat tries to carry it out.

If you mean the grounds on which the threat was made, such as here, the Australian governments claim that Google owes Murdoch money, then that's not something that is "validated" by a response. A response to a spurious threat, or an illegitimate threat can be prudent whether the threat is real, imagined, justified, or totally bogus.

In this case, will the Australian government actually impose a tax on Google's practice of linking to content which is allowed by the sites own robots.txt? That seemed pretty audacious to me when I first heard about it, particularly since I don't buy the case that Google owes Murdoch money. But maybe they will try, if they think they can get away with it at the ballot box. I don't know how to predict that outcome. At first I thought it would backfire on the government, but Google's ham-fisted bluff to exit Australia might end up backfiring on Google, if Google even carries out that counter threat, which is by no means certain.

We'll see.
>... Think about how much time is wasted in middle management, working on ad tech, marketing...

While I agree about the prevalence of “bullshit jobs” in general, who are you to decide what jobs are “productive?” I wouldn’t trust any central authority to determine that, but rather the decentralized mechanisms that already exist in private enterprise / markets to determine that.
Advertising pushes product into more hands which makes unit costs lower.

This is at the very least not obvious. Advertising does, again at least not obviously, increase the amount of money consumers [can] spend. If they shift money to one product, another one will see reduced consumption and get more expensive to manufacture.

Also what prevents one or a few companies from being very successful with their advertisement, becoming a oligopoly or even a monopoly and then inflating the price for more profit and to the disadvantage of the consumers?
While synapse is the main reference implementation, there is also dendrite (getting very close) and at least 4 other actively developed Matrix homeserver implementations.
Ponder that you have created a mutually exclusive set of requirements here. Some how there must be free expression that is not corrupted by undue external influence but then at the same time something also gets to pick and choose what is acceptable.

I gave up being a pure libertarian a long time ago so I'm very familiar with this argument and the issues related to it.

> given the "all or nothing" philosophy that ultimately and unavoidably ends up promoting all of the above mentioned sewage.

I don't know why you think anything and everything is allowed into TubeShift. It's not for a number of reasons:

First the channel has to be established on YouTube which inherently limits that channel's amount of extremeness. For it to bubble up into the radar of TubeShift means it's already got an audience and some views. Anything that extreme won't make it that far on YouTube.

Second, I hand curate the list. I've decided to make myself ultimate decider of what does and does not go in there. I can assure you I don't stuff everything into it I can find.

I used to be hard line free speech and anything goes. After being told so many times that no platform owes anyone anything I decided to run with it.

Are you familiar with the concepts of reciprocity and symmetry? I think the leftists are about to get a real world example and they aren't going to like it.
I have read this article in 2019 but now Medium has put it behind a paywall.

I really hate Medium so much.
err... is "phenomena" not the plural of phenomenon? and isn't "biased" the past tense (or adjective) form of bias?

totally agree with gastrointestinal track being wrong though, that's a definite error!

EDIT: I searched google and the first result for phenomena was (under "People Also Ask") "What is an example of a phenomena" which is probably the kind of nonsense you are referring to..
It wasn't that "soldiers won't last longer" - it was that the division wouldn't last longer.

Soviet doctrine solved the problem of maintaining fast advance with fragile men and equipment by subjecting individual units to intense, but very short, engagements. Specifically, a field army would have "echelons", where divisions of the first echelon would fight an extremely intense battle to achieve a breakthrough. Once that breakthrough was achieved (or failed), entire divisions would be rotated out, allowing fresh second-echelon divisions to take up the battle.

This meant that if your tank could only do a combat-week's worth of driving before needing to go back to a depot for refit, that was fine; your armored division would send its tanks to the maintenance depot all at once while the troops were recovering from their week in hell.

For more on how this would work in practice, see this NATO write-up of Soviet doctrine (specifically starting at around page 2-5 in their weird page-numbering scheme): https://fas.org/irp/doddir/army/fm100-2-1.pdf
Young man, in mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
A willing and consenting customer is not always of sound mind or capable of consent. Spending tens of thousands on mobile games may be fair evidence of lacking the capacity for consent.
> The biggest thing that I hate about standups is that it ends up being the de facto start of the work day. If you're supposed to start work at 9am, you can't do the standup at 9AM, because a third of the people who are supposed to be there will be running late any given day. So you do it at 9:30, or 10:00, or, god help you, at 10:30. And then it just works out that you can't actually do any real work in the morning

I've been a deep proponent that standups should be done at lunchtime. Every place I've worked, I've tried to set the expectation that meetings are to be discouraged in the morning. Leave the morning aside for a chunk of deep work, use the standup to communicate where you're blocked and then segue directly into afternoon time where people can co-ordinate to unblock.
While I agree with the thesis of this article, it's analogy to the steel industry is deeply flawed. Big steel did not collapse, it merely transformed. US share of steel production dropped, but this was because of expansion in other countries, not contraction in the US, where we still produce 80% of 1970's level by weight, but now produce many much more advanced (and valuable) alloys. Employment fell due to process changes and technology improvements that rendered many jobs obsolete - with similar employment drops everywhere from germany to brazil to south africa at the same time. A lot of traditional steel towns suffered as their plants closed, but this was because of the industry's shift to mini-mills that were placed closer to end-consumption; 50% of US steel production capacity was built in the past 30 years, and at least prior to the pandemic there were many more plants scheduled to be built in the next decade.

Honestly, the real story of the steel industry is a much more compelling analogue. The major domestic steel producers neglected investment in new technology and thus charged high prices for the labor intensive steel they produced. Imported steel was cheaper, but it was low quality. Nucor, which at this point was just a steel joist manufacturer that found itself with no good steel supply decided to invest in the new steel making technologies which quickly allowed it to outcompete the established hegemons. It and a few other steel producers that got their start in the 70s revolutionized the industry. Likewise, those who are hesitant to take risks on new green technologies will be left in the dust as their industries get transformed by new-comers who aren't set in their ways.
Twitter is especially silly in that regard. The info page on why my account was banned implied that one of my tweets violated the community guidelines - although I never tweeted anything.

Even more frustratingly, there is a form to appeal a ban. After filling out that form, I got a confirmation mail stating that Twitter will "respond as soon as possible", or in other words, never.

I do not understand why they bothered to implement all that hijinks to waste my time. Simply disallowing signups without phone number would have been much simpler and less dishonest.
Exactly! You can go both ways with this: at my house, I have exercise equipment, up to and including a barbell and plates. If I feel like grinding out some sets real quick, I can. There is absolutely no comparison to working in an office.
Sqlite does have the fileio extension, which includes an fsdir() function that will traverse a directory.

sqlite> .headers on
sqlite> .mode column
sqlite> SELECT name,mode,mtime FROM fsdir("/usr") where name like '%.h' LIMIT 3;
name mode mtime
------------------------ ---------- ----------
/usr/include/_G_config.h 33188 1607359089
/usr/include/aio.h 33188 1607359089
/usr/include/aliases.h 33188 1607359089

It's not nearly as full featured as this Fselect tool, though. I'm somewhat surprised nobody has cloned or updated the extension and added more stat() fields or things like extended file attributes. It doesn't even have the file size.
I've been wanting to have something like this.

There is a nice CPAN module called File::Find::Rule which has similar functionality, but you need to write some code, of course.
> monetizes those users far more effectively.

Citation needed.
A lot of this is people now over-ordering since they can get stuck by a shortfall. As soon as the crunch passes, there will be a big drop in demand while people burn down their inventory.

Normally, planning is 18-26 weeks out and nobody really worries.

Now, planning is 52+ weeks out, and people are stockpiling.
Have you ever thought that you think your perception of Canadian media is that way because Twitter is full of outraged leftists who think everything right of Marx is "far right propoganda"? Because as a Canadian that stays off of twitter because I find it toxic and not useful, I have to say when you wrote that Canadian media is pro-conservative I kinda laughed out loud a little.
The engines are built in Hawthorne, CA before being shipped to McGregor, TX to be tested then are integrated into the final assembly in Boca Chica, TX. Every other part of the launch vehicle (besides avionics systems, also manufactured and tested in Hawthorne) is manufactured and welded on site.
You do understand they have ability to replace almost all of the software? So a problem with ffmpeg would be a nuisance at worst.
I have a rule that I only collect data:

- if it is immediately and directly useful to my primary goals (the goals come before the data), and,

- if I'm confident in advance that the results will have some statistical power (so, A/B testing colour schemes is out), and,

- if I have planned in advance what the business consequence of the data analysis is.

Having any more numbers than that just creates obsession. Aren't we all posting comments here, looking for validation from the upvote counter?
I figured the system would end up being "juries" only in form and didn't investigate it, but it's of course it turns out to be much worse as you point out. And then there's this gem from Wikipedia which echoes the early issues with common law juries, which were not much respected by the ruling class if the case was important and they rendered the "wrong" verdict:

"Others have written with concern regarding the harsh secrecy provision in the statute which includes the risk of criminal penalties for those lay judges who would publicly share confidential deliberation room discussion even after trial proceedings are complete.:

I'm sure there's a lot more where that came from, plus of course as you note extreme deference would likely be paid to the professional judges. The above is from the end of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lay_judges_in_Japan
Well this idiotic.

BSD+Patents would terminate its patent grants if ever yourself and Facebook entered litigation. Implying Facebook would add a patent suit to their defense/offense.

Now they STILL get too! Buuut they look like a good guys. MIT says nothing about Patents. So they can sue _anyone_ using React for patent violations now.

This is some more fancy fishing out of a filmmaker - as Animats has indicated, the Nazi's had no serious atomic bomb program - their leading physicists hadn't worked out 'fast fission' and had no workable design for a bomb.

The logistics involved with Uranium separation on an industrial scale simply were impossible during the second half of WW2 for the Nazis - they did not have the materials or the expertise to construct enrichment / separation plants.

The theory nor materials were there to produce a Plutonium device either - no critical pile of any significant size was made, and as far as I know the understanding that a much smaller critical mass of Plutonium was needed was missed entirely as well.

The Nazi bomb program is a great example of the effects of a Scientific embargo - all of the powers at be at WW2 knew the US and UK were up to something involving radiation as most of the leading scientists in the field stopped publishing in the late 1930's until the conclusion of the war.

An interesting read on the subject is Heisenberg's War - http://www.amazon.com/Heisenbergs-War-Secret-History-German/...
I think this is the question everyone is wondering. But even in a minute a plane travels a huge distance. And also keep in mind the height at which they fly so assuming the planes don't stop going forward they can travel huge distances on their descent to the ground.

Nevertheless, I also wonder why this couldn't work and just send the data more frequently. I don't know anything about the GPS consumers connect to but if my TomTom can connect to a satellite in space and give me my location down to a few metres at a regular interval then why can't a plane do the same?
Interestingly the developers of Magic Lantern have explicitly stated that they will never develop it for the pro 1D and C ranges of cameras.

Apparently this is a result of some informal or undisclosed agreement with Canon, as the pro cameras are where Canon's recurring revenue lies.

It looks to me like he did do the project for real -- the write up mentions programming the PIC to emulate the other part. Based on that I would guess that you could pull out the hacked chip, and replace it with the 74LS193 and it would work as normal.
The author appears to be kind of dumb, based on the opening sentence. Is there a point to the article?
Same here. There was a discount code on the LYAHFGG site, and it included the physical book as well as an immediate download of the PDF.

Really a good deal. But the big point for me was the note that the author got more money that way, too.

Edit: plus manga card, and a 30% discount code.
First, the Ruby server does not set any cache headers for the response. This means, the browser will not cache this url and the api will always be called. Behind a Proxy Server, this Api does need am exception.

A CDN does not affect this kind of server, as a server of this kind should always return something dynamic and not static. Caching or duplicating the content across servers is totally useless. If you want to call the API through JS, the JS can be cached on CDNs, as the request done to the API server will always be the same.

A microwave oven's input-output mapping is much more relevant than how it works. And you can get a feel for that by plugging it in and pressing the buttons.

It's a very general point - how to interact with things is often dependent on the surface, not the volume. This is the generative insight for the systems approach to engineering.
