The big difference is that you don't need to be certified and so it doesn't exclude anyone from getting into this game. Compare that with banking which is basically impossible to even get started with properly.

The interesting thing here is that it's build on an open protocol rather than on legislation and so this I believe will at least give the opportunity to create all sorts of interesting solutions that are currently impossible to do within the current banking system because technology moves faster than legislation.

So even if we are talking centralization or clustering as I like to call it, we are not talking exclusion.
TorrentFreak is well written and well research; its story selection is different to other more mainstream news sites. Much like al jazeera, this makes it an extremely useful and valuable news site. I do wish for a more mainstream name though! It always seems slightly embarrassing referring people to an authoritative piece on 'TorrentFreak.com'
It's a shame this isn't a more common answer. As you say, Squeak was made for this. Smalltalk is also one of the closer-to-English options out there.
How could you call "getting out of Iraq" a small item?
Iraq's financial black-hole it quite big by itself.
While this is a decent set of tips for design, the important thing to remember if you are actually giving a talk is that you are the presentation, not your slides.

Edit: That said, the right visual aids can be important for delivering a powerful message. I found this pretty useful in terms of making great looking slides that will actually help your talk by highlighting key points and keeping people's attention.
We may yet find that his cabinet is willing to do so for their own reasons.
The information you put in parenthesis immediately rules it out for 99% of users. I can count on one hand the number of my family members who have any concept for what that information means.
The other thing that Democrats and organisations like the ACLU have been campaigning to stop (with some success) is the removal of people who're no longer living in that state from the electoral register. Along with shut down any attempt to detect whether people have apparently voted in more than one state. This gives a nice pool of "registered" voters who are not in fact eligible to vote and probably don't even realise they're still registered there.
I think it’s appropriate to ask for stats for suggestions that run counter to accepted wisdom. That doesn’t put the onus on me to provide evidence of generally accepted facts. Suggesting that we should let the virus run wild through the population is contrary to guidance from the WHO, any number of national health organisations, etc. So no, I don’t feel the need to cite statistics for my position, as it’s not the novel one.

It is an axiom of healthcare that outcomes suffer in an overburdened healthcare system, and readily apparent why that is the case. That said, for those too lazy to look, here’s literally the top result for me when googling terms related to this: https://www.kabc.com/news/covid-19-mortality-rates-rise-as-h...
After today, it would be very hard to convince the state AGs to not prosecute him despite any ideas Biden or Pence may have.
It provides for a open/royalty free system that is potentially performant.

RISC-V alone provides little in terms of helping create better CPU implementations. An ARM core could probably be reworked into a RISC-V core and vice-versa -- it's ultimately "just" an instruction set. It benefits the CPU manufacturer, as they don't have to pay licensing fees and can therefore earn a buck more in profit.

RISC-V isn't really intrinsically more open (from an end user perspective) than many of its competitors -- it does, however, have a lot of hype and social intertia behind it, which may be enough to propel it to greatness.

One benefit of RISC-V is it offers a modular instruction set, where a "RISC-V" CPU can implement a subset of functionality and add new instructions in a well defined way. One downside to this is the possibility for the ISA to be splintered in practice if the major vendors end up not supporting a uniform feature set.
I'm 100% with you. I don't care for these people or their politics, but the way the media, politicians, and the public are reacting, this is going to only make this so much worse.

They truly believe there's a deep state that rigged the election. Throwing around using the 25th Amendment, calling them all terrorists committing treason/sedition, is only going to reinforce that the deep state is not only real but using every tool they have to attack them. The constant attempts to silence them by deplatforming and a whole host of other shadowy methods is confirming that the media, big tech, higher education, is full of people that not only despise them but with they would go away forever.

If we keep going down this path I guarantee violence is coming. 50 years from now we'll end up seeing the Oklahoma bombing as the opening salvo to what came next. McVeigh went full terrorist after Waco/Ruby Ridge. Don't give these people the confirmation they're looking for.
He said “they certainly incited a great deal of violence this summer.” I qualified that statement, which was worded to imply substantially more violence than what actually occurred.

I thought HN discussions were based on facts rather than political biases.

> Somehow with multiple comments about how embarrassing the phones association with republican organizations is

As of this writing, no comments exist that match that description. One comment mentions that it's a phone marketed at conservatives, but does not describe that association as embarassing.
It sounds like you have somewhat of a misunderstanding about what kind of content Wikipedia aims to include. It does not aim to include every fact, only those which are “notable” - that is inevitably somewhat subjective, but the idea is it doesn’t want an article on every single government and military employee - only the particularly notable ones, who are generally going to be limited to elected officials (and even then generally only national and state/provincial, with local elected officials generally only being article-worthy for major metropolises), agency heads, generals, etc. Unless these relatives of yours hold one of those very senior positions, or has some kind of media profile/etc independently of their government/military job, they probably are not noteworthy enough to mention-even if they are relatives of someone noteworthy, Wikipedia isn’t trying to be a genealogy, so genealogical information is generally only included if the ancestor/descendant is independently notable, and otherwise is generally only limited to a generation or two (which may be why your father’s generation makes the cut but not your own.)

Furthermore, the demand for documentation is important, because how do they know you are not just making stuff up? (You’d think people would never contribute blatantly invented information, but people actually have done it-some people get some kind of twisted pleasure out of it, in other cases people have done it out of mental illness.) Reliable secondary sources (so not birth certificates or military IDs, which are primary sources) also help in distinguishing what information is “encyclopaedic” from what isn’t-if reliable secondary sources aren’t interested in a topic, Wikipedia will not be either.
I have similar credentials (and praise from coworkers), and I had similar experience to you earlier this year. It sucks, but you'll come through the other side.
90% sensitivity = 10% false negatives. When the patient has the condition, it is detected 90/100 of the time.

95% specificity = 5% false positives. When the patient doesn't have the condition, it is correctly not detected 95/100 of the time.
> In a statement to Reason, a WVDCR spokesperson noted that no inmates are being forced to use the tablets.

Yeah but they are locking them in a room for extended periods with nothing else to do. They are only not being forced to do it by a technicality.
Wow maybe Toshiba is able to do what Theranos failed to do. And of course with their failure rate, they can bring up healthcare costs as well. Win win for everyone... cough
> What do people use in Vue-land for tables?

Can’t speak for all the folks in Vue-land, but IMO this is pretty super. You do have to add a couple of bells and whistles (like a search field - 5-10 lines of js) to make it awesome.

Because “a computer you don’t control” is almost certainly going to have a web browser available but not a SSH client or terminal.

I have personally implemented Linux workstations where access to the terminal or any shell is prohibited.
Not sure what you mean about filenames as arguments, how would a filename be listed?

Added regex support for --filter. For instance --filter=re:\\d+

You mean something like what tree displays? Or just to count the items in the directory?

Some phones in Japan did (and maybe still do) have TV tuners even in the pre-smartphone days.

Everyone’s dreamt of flying free as a bird. Nano is for the fun of flying

Interesting how true this must be. We've heard promise of practical personal flying machines for decades, usually complete with artists renditions or renders, but few have seemed to materialize yet.

Ultralights are probably the closest, fairly cheap and requiring little infrastructure. Just a seat with a big fan attached to a parachute really.

Even these though take a surprising amount of work to be able to operate safely.
Little tidbit I picked out of the development guide: Safari will automatically update extensions by checking a publicly-accessible plist file:

http://developer.apple.com/safari/library/documentation/Tool...

I think Chrome does this as well (I don't use it). Could this be related to their choice to require extensions to be signed? I'd think that anytime code is being automatically downloaded and installed, security would be a concern.
nope it won't load on an iPad.

Sound is not well built on the iOS/Android browser, so I figured, if the game is going to suck anyway, might as well don't build it for mobile.

"They make far more money pretending that video conferencing is difficult. N flip phones + N laptops (which people already have) + wifi = 2, 3, or 4 way videoconferencing on the cheap."

You're probably right. Maybe Cisco realized they were in an Innovator's Dilemma situation and they are just trying to delay the disruptive innovation, and its attendant lower margins, by buying the Flip and killing it.
At a guess, this was due to one of the employees who talked about one of his suicide attempts when he was young. If so, it's somewhat akin to banning an anti-suicide video for showing the consequences of such an action.
advice taken!
I agree with you, but what bothers me is that people continue to say that PoW is waste of energy, even if the article is about moving 38M USD for 0.0064 USD.
That section is rambling and contradictory.

For example: "I will go on record right now saying Wikileaks rocks. ... if anyone from Wikileaks tries to work with me or on any project I'm on you bet your ass I'm not trusting them one bit. Never trust a traitor, no matter how noble their intentions."

So Wikileaks "rocks", yet anyone involved in Wikileaks is a traitor and shouldn't be trusted? That seems contradictory. Taking this logic further, are journalists who cite Wikileaks' work also traitors that shouldn't be trusted?

As a fan of Zed's and someone that isn't completely sold on Tor, I'd love to see a sober critique of the project's vulnerbilities from Zed, but this post isn't it.
Correcting for demographics, US schools are great. Correcting for demographics, the US doesn't have a disproportionate number of incarcerated citizens. Correcting for demographics, the US doesn't have much of a jobless problem. I couldn't decide which was more charming, the claim that Americans of European descent (65% of the population) are not some sort of elite, or the call to compare African Americans to those in their "home nations". The US is their home nation! This article is racist rot.
The SEC isn't there to ensure profit and growth, the SEC is there is ensure investors aren't being defrauded.
not muxh familiar, but I thought erlang is close relative to prolog (never programmed much in either)
"[If] the problem lies almost solely in the homes, then solutions involving throwing more money at school won't work. This is a worthy investigation."

Except that we already know how much of the problem stems from the home from the decades worth of research that has already been done. The PISA numbers don't contribute anything to our understanding of the problem, they're just a red herring designed to get people asking the wrong questions.
Still bytecode interpreted not native, but Node.js wasn't better: http://blog.mysyncpad.com/post/2073441622/node-js-vs-erlang-... (at least cpu / memory -wise)
Even more broadly, we[1] argue that the government shouldn't control[2] education, but, rather, that the parents should.

This could well include even the decision of whether education is enough of a public good to be supported by taxes.

Personally, I think it is, so I strongly favor a system that allows parents to pay for private schools with public money, such as vouchers.

[1] I can't speak for the Libertarian Party, whom I consider a tad extreme, though I consider myself a small-L libertarian

[2] Involvement at all would be too all-encompassing a proscription.
I didn't say that there shouldn't be any change though, all I'm saying is that we should be careful, i.e. study the environment as much as we can before committing irreversible changes.
This idea is based on the false assumption that there are no pre-existing laws for seas. There is a UN treaty and there are maritime laws and unwritten seamen laws. And the latest date way back in history.
Pretending that seas are virgin territories as regards laws is a misconception.

There need not be a major global event for English to lose its status. There are a number of possible scenarios, which may take centuries or millennia. For example, Latin persisted as the language of the church and academia centuries after the collapse of the Roman Empire - if the US were to collapse tomorrow (however unlikely) English will likely persist out of convenience for a while.

It need not even be a collapse - sometimes languages can be adopted for other reasons. For example, upper class Romans spoke Greek (the language of a conquered people), upper class Russians in the 19th century spoke French (if you read War and Peace, it's strange to see so much French dialogue - when the French were the enemy !). Could it be possible that perhaps a century hence, upper class Americans use Chinese among themselves and English to speak to the peasants ?

A more likely scenario is fragmentation into new languages - just as Latin broke up into French, Spanish etc. Often this happens with the influence of local languages. While a collapse in global communications - due to war, resource depletion, or other disaster - would accelerate the process, it can still happen over a longer period of time.

Another new possibility is that advances in technology render the concept of a lingua franca obsolete - a "universal translator". This is unlikely without some major advances in AI but not impossible.
That's certainly part of it, and as you point out there's a good reason for that. I've encountered other instances where my comments are shown higher on the page even though they have fewer points and were submitted longer ago than other comments. So there's certainly an algorithm that favors some users over others.
As a man who lives and breathes vim, the answer to your question is most certainly yes. Watching other people code without mastery of their editor is heartwrenching.
There wasn't a particularly big increase in incarceration rates starting in the 1990s, though. The first big uptick was 1973-1983 or so, and then the pace accelerated in the mid-1980s, actually stabilizing by the late 1990s: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Incarceration_rate_of_inma...

Why would the big increase in incarceration rates starting in the 1970s cause a decrease in crime only in the 1990s?
I think, you listed it reverse. comb=1-b is actually "30-day Free Trial" and second link is "Free Trial"
People attack suburbia for this sort of thing, but even the suburbs cover a very small percentage of the earth's surface. The Earth is really, really, really big. Those deserts that Las Vegas is expanding into could hold twenty more Vegas' before it'd really notice, at least as far as footprint goes.
America was founded as a democracy only for land-owning white men. We have gone back and forth through various levels of plutocracy and populism, but overall have been getting more democratic. For one thing, we're nowhere near the plutocracy of the pre-income-tax, late nineteenth century. While recent trends have not, in my opinion, been going in a good direction, I wouldn't be worried about this particular issue at all.

Check out Made in America (https://madeinamericathebook.wordpress.com/about/).
Great to see initiatives like this. However, everyone who can should be using a teledoc and getting instructions before visiting a testing site. Otherwise you're putting healthcare providers and patients in danger (a former colleague drove to multiple stations to try to get tested and he interacted with a bunch of HCPs).

Do you mind making it clear in the tool that someone viewing the site should first contact a teledoc?
Not very. Few countries practice widespread circumcision.
I think the person you're replying to is being facetious.

In UK there was just recently published Guidelines for [1] Safe prescribing of fluoroquinolones.

'Do not use fluoroquinolones in patients with known aortic aneurysm, aortic dissection or history of serious side effects related to quinolone treatment (including tendon disease/disorder) unless there are no other treatment options available'

'Patients should be counselled to discontinue fluoroquinolone treatment and seek urgent medical attention at the first sign of:

- Tendon pain or inflammation (particularly in shoulder or ankle)

- Symptoms of neuropathy such as pain, burning, pins & needles, tingling, numbness or weakness

- Sudden-onset of severe and constant abdominal, chest or back pain

what does “good results” mean?

I’ve done many trips on LSD and Psylocybin. A classic line you read about these experiences is they rank up as the most significant events in people’s lives such as the birth of a child.

However if you trip 100 times or more, how can all of those times be so incredibly meaningful? They can’t. and they won’t retain their power. and that’s a common feeing of a trip is it feels important and significant and intense in the moment, but a lot of the time you aren’t doing much on a trip. maybe you had a day at the beach. maybe you took it at a music festival. maybe you took it with friends you rarely see.

will some of those experiences have more lasting effects than others? yes. will they all feel significant at the time you’re on it? yes. but i don’t agree they don’t count as “good results” if there’s no professional therapy involved. a lot of what you get out of these trips depends on what you put into it. it’s entirely possible to go to a clinical trip and get little out of it. and as many people know you can trip without professional help and see impactful outcomes
On the importance of "play"—

From one of the books I'm currently reading (Blueprint, The evolutionary Origins of a Good Society, by Nicholas Christakis — itself a great read), I learnt of an interesting book reference: Homo Ludens: A Study of the Play-Element in Culture (1938).

The abstract sounds promising:

"[...] With cross-cultural examples from the humanities, business, and politics, Huizinga examines play in all its diverse guises—as it relates to language, law, war, knowledge, poetry, myth, philosophy, art, and much more. As he writes, “Civilization is, in its earliest phases, played. It does not come from play like a baby detaching itself from the womb: it arises in and as play, and never leaves it.” [...] Starting with Plato, Huizinga traces the contribution of “man the player” through the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, and early modern world. [...]"

If instagram's product KPIs were more inline with what I wanted as a user, this would be great...but they're not and my explore feed is frequently filled with models, child musical prodigies, and other popcorn-esque content.

Compared that to Spotify, whose goal I presume is to get me to listen to more music and buy tickets and merch through their occasional marketing.

I'm a music snob but damn does Spotify get me great recommendations on new releases, my discover weekly, and more. Not only that, I've bought tickets through their frequent listener promotions probably more than 10 times at this point.

I enjoy your snarkiness daniel, but I think it's a bit more complex than "I'm so clever", FDE is a feature of MacOSX, Ubuntu, and .. I dunno.. probably Windows by now? Who cares.

They can essentially use all the tactics they would get you to use to reveal any other information, and if they have probable cause for that drive, the encryption keys are what they'll ask for.

Destroying them could put you in a tough situation, because they might not believe you destroyed them. Proving that nowhere in the world do you have access to a few kilobyte is pretty hard, and although the burden of proof is generally on the prosecution, it's up to them and law enforcement to interpret that outside of court. Because federal judges are protected by Federal Marshals - DOJ employees - they also have an IMO unhealthy relationship with the DOJ.
Offtopic nitpick: technology is not ethically neutral but simply amoral. The lawnmower that cuts of your foot doesn't have issues with your foot. It's just rotating blades.
