Or they could just start doing real time settlement, something which the banks are working on.
Yup agree 100%. I thought I saw some pre-trial data on 10mcg in monkeys and even that was somewhat effective.
The vaccines we're seeing are only 10% effective against the SA strain.

This is not accurate.

The AZ vaccine was only 10% effective in a study in SA. That's the only one that was shown to be vastly less effective.

The Pfizer vaccine is believed to be effective against the SA variant (though I think it used In Vitro studies) and there are lots of other vaccines on the way. We will get this under control but it will be a long slow process over several years.
Well in that case, this problem should solve itself any day now. /s
So which of those are not in Soylent and have been demonstrated as essential to being healthy? As far as I know, none.
TripIt probably has the email forwarding for business users that have to deal with corporate policies restricting scanning of email.

But even then, TripIt also provides constant email scanning if you're too lazy to forward things to them.
I wonder when academia will be a thing of the past. These days, sadly, most research is performed in companies anyway.
Lazyness is what allows you to write code that feels naturally coherent but that would be an error with eager analysis. As an example:

switch(build.target.os) {
.Linux => std.os.fork(),
.Windows => std.os.funcUniqueToWindows(),
else => @compileError("feature not supported for target os"),
}

This a simplified example to say that each path that depends on a comptime condition, such as the target OS, for example, feels intuitively consistent but in Zig types can (and do) mutate depending on those conditions and if the compiler were to eagerly check dead branches it would find plenty of semantical errors. In the stdlib you can see how `os` corresponds to a different struct definition depending on the target: https://github.com/ziglang/zig/blob/master/lib/std/os.zig#L5...
Opposite of my experience, helps you have the proper mechanical info to learn the basics, skipping marketing nonsense and mumbo jumbo. Knowing how to lift something heavy safely goes beyond the practice of strength training, it's a life skill.
Any of you get paying customers before you had a product? How did that work?

Also, how do you handle all the feedback from early customers on product changes? Obviously some are great requests, but many customers make requests are outside of the scope, and could tempt you to change course (if you're on the right course :-)

Cinema Display, keyboard, mouse. That's three plugs into the side of the MacBook (MagSafe, DisplayPort, USB). Not a challenging task.

If a Cinema Display is too much money, then a combination of extra AC adapter, third party display, keyboard and mouse takes exactly as much work.

I don't understand who even buys docks. There's no challenge involved in setting up a MacBook for desktop use without one.

EDIT: Heh, actually looking at the Henge docks now...those are real pretty. I can understand docks as a cable management or aesthetic tool, but not as a necessity.
This was mentioned on HN a long while back, it uses ordinary digital cameras: http://www.instructables.com/id/DIY-High-Speed-Book-Scanner-...

I don't have anything this elaborate. I have a cheap 3-in-1 printer that I scan some stuff with, and a cheap ~$70 digital camera that I use for stuff that it would be inconvenient to scan. The images are good enough to read on the computer though not great.
It's a tricky one as startups are right to be cautious of releasing that info yet you do indeed need to know some of this info to make an informed decision. It's worth pointing out that within VC circles it's probably easy to get those figures for any startup that is funded or doing the round for funding so the data is hardly 'confidential'.

> No one was particularly comfortable answering questions about expected exit.

I also don't think asking founders about their expected exit $$$ is one of the figures you need.

What you need to know is:

1) How many options/shares they are offering you

2) How many outstanding unallocated shares

3) How many total shares in the company

4) Most recent valuation (from funding event, etc)

5) Strike price

These allow you to, among other things, work out the value of your shares today for 83(b) purposes which is important as you would need to paying the tax on that within 30 days of your grant if you want to go the long-term tax efficient route.

While we're on the subject of data startups are reluctant to give, I also need to know:

6) Amount raised to date

7) Runway (psychologically its better to ask for runway and calc burnrate yourself than ask it the other way around)

When I've been in this situation the tact I've used has been "Look, you're essentially asking me to invest in this company too because I'm taking an options/equity stake as part of my remuneration. I need to know the top line figures to make an accurate calculation of the total package

They might want to put you under and NDA to get the above, which is reasonable... just don't sign it unless you are making good progress with your interview

(I tend not to sign NDAs unless it's absolutely necessary and then only at last stage)
I'm interested if this has any effect on Apple's FaceTime video chat stuff. I wouldn't expect too much to come of it, but it could become ammo for either side at some point in the future.
Fair enough, and that's quite likely what RIM is thinking.

But do you think it's a smart strategy for RIM to try to stay relevant by blocking hot apps on their platform? would it not be a more sane strategy for them to make their devices better, and to open up their platform so that others can easily develop more great apps on it?

This just seems like such a dumb short-sighted move.
http://thechangelog.com/ is a great blog to follow for interesting GitHub projects, it also powers parts of the "Explore GitHub" page that @mojombo mentioned.
I think is analogous to Linus's quote about good programmers worrying more about the data structures than the code.

Certainly when my team leader suggests another quick hack at the code level to make the database do what we want, I usually push back, and suggest a change at the database level to model the situation more accurately. His solution would be quicker, but mine will be more robust and maintainable (so less work in the long term).
This is why the class warfare elements of the narratives around the whole WSB/GME situation have always seemed naive to me. It isn't that hedge fund people are any greedier than any other group of people, it is just they have greater opportunity to be greedy assholes. You give the WSB people an opportunity and unsurprisingly they turn into greedy assholes too. The people involved on each side are more similar than they are different.
The ugliness of the web site as shown in your link is not directly caused by any law. The obnoxious cookie banners are meant to be obnoxious, in order to 1. get you used to clicking “OK” all the time and 2. convince you that the law that was made is somehow to blame for all this. It is not. If companies really wanted to make a nice clean experience, they would do what the law requires and stop hoarding all personal information. But they don’t want that; they want to make a political statement about how that nasty law is somehow making them do annoying things. But they brought it all on themselves. Don’t be fooled.
Not me, but a large fraction of the HN community is ideologically libertarian-leaning, and they like guns.

(From my experience, I don't think US IT workers are particularly pro-guns any more than average Americans.)
Welfare in many cases is hugely bureaucratic. It is there, but it means things like filling forms and sending your bank statements every 3 months to be reviewed. Not to mention the unemployment benefits you must claim first which can take weeks to process with no payments. That is if you decide to take short job.

I would see it to be much simpler just to take some basic level of current benefits and last resort benefits and just giving it to everyone. And then claiming it back in some way like higher income tax.
if its not broken...
That's like fleeing CentOS for Oracle Linux.
This is plain false. Debian routinely disables trackers and homecalling functions in the packaged software and even in the documentation.
I believe it is theorized that life could use silicon instead of carbon, but I think for the most part we just look for what we know works. They are just saying that earth life could have lived on Mars at some point in the past, that the conditions would have been favorable for it. Other kinds of life could exist in other environments, but we don't have any litmus for those observations yet.

Agreed with the other comments here. I couldn't stand the Ubiquiti mgmt interface for home as it needed a VM or chroot plus a database instance, etc.. When I switched to an equally spec'd Ruckus, I was blown away at the performance difference. Also the mgmt interface a simple web interface. I couldn't be happier with my switch and will probably be sticking to Ruckus for my home for the forseeable future.

I'm sure there was one in the Aston Webb building too, however it's far too long ago for me to remember.

I resent the seemingly common belief that STEM and creativity are so disjoint.

They're not, of course, and you explained that well. I do think that there is a problem of (surprising?) STEM anti-intellectualism, especially in industry. Some programmers are literate in history, the arts, and philosophy. Some are not. The latter category seems to get our industry in so much trouble; if they understood aesthetics, they wouldn't be so dismissive of languages that aren't Java, and if they understood human nature (through history and philosophy and literature) they'd have a better understanding of why "Agile" is dishonestly-sold bullshit. My 10x aesthetic sense isn't something I was born with; it comes from being exposed to a large number of seemingly unrelated topics.

At heart, I'm a liberal arts guy. I went to a small liberal arts college (Carleton) when I had several big-name schools in the bag (e.g. a contact at Princeton) because, when I was 17, I wanted to be a writer. I was more passionate about poetry than the sciences, at the time. I majored in math, though, and was able to transition into software. I definitely think that a broad-based, liberal education is important.

All of that said, a quality liberal-arts education includes math and the sciences. After all, two of the original seven liberal arts were mathematical, a third was astronomy and a fourth was music.

There are narrow scientists and programmers, of course, and that's part of why we encounter so much nonsense in our industry, but there are narrow history and English literature people (even at high levels) as well and they're just as bad. Scientific literacy is important, and the creativity comes from exposure to a large number of fields. Like you, I reject the idea that some fields (e.g. the humanities) are more creative than others (e.g. the sciences). However, I think that people who simply refuse to learn a subject, whether it's history or the sciences, generally aren't very creative.
The article is talking about also using the additional WiFi hotspot that every Comcast modem they provide you with has (not leaching from a neighbor). http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/12/comcast-sued-by-c...
A part of this obsession has to do with the fact that STEM subjects are easily measurable and tested for. Our "enlightened-meritocratic" society is obsessed with who deserves money and who doesn't. It will obviously value a math test that makes it easy to judge ability, than a philosophy essay which may improve a child's critical thinking but is a lot harder to judge.

That gets compounded with the fact that colleges are now practically vocational schools which themselves tout a "return-on-investment" as their salient feature.

The solution is quite simple: expand humanities requirements and make them stringent. Make a student take at least 1/3 of courses in non-STEM subjects.
It may be that connections though xfinitywifi don't count against the neighbors allocated bandwidth and won't degrade their service since their router and connection support more than their allocated bandwidth. Can anyone confirm if this is the case?
We're arguing different things.

The comment I replied to, chaosfactors, specifically specified grepping the makefile. You're arguing that you can find all the targets and I never said you can't. I simply said you can't find them all by only grepping the makefile.
Ok so what would you recommend be changed? Different trivia? No trivia? Harder code challenges? I tend to agree with your sentiment, however I'm not sure how you'd go about evaluating skills short of an on-the-job test.
He had the power to roll back, or at least stop using, the executive powers that Bush established. Instead, he expanded them, to the point of personally authorizing the extrajudicial killing of American citizens overseas.

Everybody feels down from time to time, and that's normal. When you can't function at all for weeks, months or years on end, then it's clearly a disorder. "Can't function" can mean an inability to: get out of bed, to sleep normally, to bathe or otherwise take care of yourself, to experience pleasure, to eat normally, to work, and/or to concentrate. Usually these are combined with overwhelming feelings of: despair, worthlessness, hopelessness and/or isolation. Sometimes these people have suicidal thoughts and act on them.

People who have never experienced a mental illness often find it hard to understand what they are.
These kinds of posts always pop up in a row, like a volley of arrows. Bemoaning education as failing students, falling in value, rising in cost, etc etc etc.

What actual concrete alternatives are there for alarmed students (such as myself) that read these types of posts, jump through all the hoops, and still face a massive bill from Podunk U to get a BS or BA?

Most of you all here have already gone through the rites and work at cushy tech or office jobs, and a few rebels with their own startups.

What do you say to an incoming college freshman who isn't sure if he sees the light at the end of the tunnel or a $40K+ train barreling at him?

It's nice to say work hard, network, go to a cheap state school, go to a 2 year community college first then transfer, etc...but this all seems to point a really broken system with little to no solutions in sight for those actively under the guillotine of crushing debt.

Instead of pontificating, does anyone have actionable tips or advice?
A contract subsidizes the hardware cost. Subsidized $87 hardware likely approaches or is $0.
I've seen very, very few people able to learn calculus outside of a school system. Most will just go to elaborate lengths to avoid using calculus and justify why they don't need to learn it.
However in case b, wouldn't it allow folks to rationalize themselves as 'not as weird' as perhaps some extreme groups you mention? And then not think about applications of these findings to themselves?

It seems the point of the article was that this issue is a spectrum issue and can trip up folks who may otherwise believe themselves to be approaching something scientifically but in fact have been pre-biased by their emotions on the issue. At least for me (and I do consider myself open minded) it was useful to think about the mechanism behind the 'irrational' response, which certainly could help me in influencing change in organizations where such change would be emotionally difficult.

"I can't figure out what purpose he is serving by exposing only half his readers to the negative emotional reaction, while exposing the other half to the positive emotional reaction that comes from criticizing their political opponents and affirming their already held beliefs. (Unless of course the latter reaction is what he is going for.)"

Perhaps he was going for people to step back and say "Hmm, I'm responding emotionally, let me compare that emotion to whether or not I think his point valid, and how my emotions influenced that thinking." Sort of a step outside your own complexes kind of thing.
These are the same guys that have copied Dieder Ram's designs over the last decade. So I guess it's okay to "take inspiration" from other products, but not copy directly? Either that, or this is a non-issue and Apple just wants to keep their lawyers busy. (I just wasted 5 mins as I believe it's the latter.)
Yeah, that makes sense; good point. I'm speaking less about them, though, and more about the "unwashed masses", so to speak. "Top developers" tend to code their projects by default to be viral or usable or whatever you'd like to call it. They're good at what they do, and their normal practices are good practices. But I've seen tons and tons of projects on GitHub, personal sites, and other places that are more of "push and forget". Or they're of the mentality that "this is only worthwhile for me", when that mentality couldn't be further from the truth.
Unity is pretty cool, although there's still some GTK+ ugliness, like the tabbar in the Terminal and the file manager.
I posted it that way to pair with another old Cato network neutrality paper that was on the main page.
> Have they managed to successfully get people using it yet?

I was trying to figure out the same thing a month back[0], but most of the responses I got boiled down to "you're asking the wrong question". It's hard to wade through the crowd of "it's just digital gold", but the best response I got[1] is that it works decently for places that accept it, but there are hiccups, usually around liquidity.

Is Scala used outside of Spark and Akka? Spark is my company chosen analytic engine, Scala was/is the main language for majority of the production workload. In the last two years or so, more devs are writing PySpark and SparkSQL jobs than Scala.
Disclaimer: takes this with a grain of salt as I do use Box<dyn Error>. But I have a couple of things to note.

1. error chain is not the recommended way, despite being in the book. It needs updating!

2. The error trait in the std has come a long way since the book was originally written

3. You still might want some nicities that that Box<dun Error> doesn't provide you, and so you'd define an enum. You can do it manually, or use a library like anyhow or thiserror depending on if you're an app or library.

4. Rust error handling has been in a lot of flux, but generally improving. It probably does deserve a dedicated section in the book.

I recommend this blog post: https://nick.groenen.me/posts/rust-error-handling/
Because it's both unnecessary and distracting.

When I misunderstand titles and then realize my mistake I don't start complaining about it.

Can it be read either way? Yes. Does it really matter? No. Language is often ambiguous without context.

But even with that, it really isn't confusing. The ones who don't know who Larry Flint are may choose not to click on it whether they take the word Hustler as a verb or a noun. And the ones who do click will be disabused of their potential confusion almost immediately.

IOW, it's a huge nothingburger.
If UHK would make a bluetooth/wireless model I would buy one in a heartbeat
One thing I'd recommend doing for anyone thinking about using wireless headphones is check what codecs are supported by both the headset and whatever OS you're using it on.

My Sony WH-H910N h.ear on 3 (~£250-300) got rid of some high quality codecs that were supported on Windows(aptX) and replaced them with Sony's proprietary* LDAC codec for which there is no Windows implementation. There exists one for Linux due to implementation being done for Android and someone porting it over.

Thus the only way to get decent sound quality on Windows to use cord.

Very annoying that reviews don't mention OS/headphone codec compatibility.

*decoder and encoder are both proprietary but encoder is open under Apache license but Sony didn't bother writing driver for Windows.
D doesn't have concepts. It just takes a different approach.
This is confusing to me... I believe that neo-liberalism is fundamentally making decisions according to evidence to benefit our society regardless of tradition / religion / who said it. To me, that openness to solutions puts it opposite of many present-day conservatives who value tradition, existing power structures, historical norms, and therefore makes it a "left" ideology.

In my understanding a neo-liberal government is a fan of unblocking housing development, evidence based decision making w.r.t. pandemic responses, and police encounters. I would personally call governments in many parts of the Bay traditionally conservative as they are trying to protect what it was 50 years ago.

What does Neo-liberalism mean to you?

edits: lots of things, sorry if that confuses any responders...

You mention healthcare, housing, education needing governing and those have been "governed" to outrageous prices. Our governing parties have destroyed wealth for the bottom 80% unless those of us with kush tech jobs or anyone who bought a house between 2010 and 2016.
That’s fair, there’s always a benefit to alternate implementations. I think those were started for the wrong reasons (interpersonal conflict rather than technical requirements) but perhaps in the end it doesn’t matter.
If this didn't result in Toyota making better cars, I think that would be an indication that human society is fundamentally broken.

An issue I have with this is that most of the electronic music I produce isn't really so much trying to follow a melody or harmony, but is mostly "new stuff".

However, I have been playing keys in a Pink Floyd cover band for the last two months, and that process of both learning the parts and, more interestingly, programming patches in my synths to mimic the stuff has been fun. I just programmed the patch for "Brain Damage" this afternoon, and I've been finding various walkthroughs and tutorials very helpful, even if the basic tones (mostly saws and squares with a ladder filter) are pretty easy.

I really like fakebooks, but Youtube has kind of obviated the need for the various textbooks that were popular in the 80s, at least for me.
Grid storage is different from powering EVs though. You don’t provide a week of grid backup via battery. You do stuff like pump 100 million gallons of water into a dam with a hydro plant ready.

I think water is more efficient then hydrogen even.
