Tax credits aren't really government support (it's not like the government is paying them anything). It's more akin to a discount, if anything - we support the work you do so we won't penalize you further with taxes, because your work can provide a net good.
Except they do allow redemptions: https://app.tether.to/app/signup
This is a proposed gender-neutral alternative to latino/latina. According to native Spanish speaking comedian Tom Segura, a Spanish speaker would laugh in your face if you tried to say such a thing to them. The whole language has a masculine/feminine distinction.
Do you think they do that to be jerks?

It makes sense. Financial, practical, environmental. They aren’t going to stop it, because it’s literally the right thing to do.

If you think you are being charged too much for too little now, what do you think would happen if the ISP had to guarantee you bandwidth they know will never fully saturate?
The zero fd is valid but will never happen in this code.

Checking the return value of malloc is a bad idea (just rig the program to explode when any malloc fails). But casting the return value of malloc is incorrect, and that code should be using calloc.
What did we* need such hypersonic rocket planes for and why did we stop improving them?

*we as a species
No doubt GP is being sarcastically cynical.

But the cynicism is well-founded. We might create meaningless work because it would protect the income of the richest (the most politically influential). There is a strong historical precedence for this. It's socially accepted to some degree, due to our widespread belief in the cargo cult of "jobs".
Yes, but it is not intuitively obvious for the ordinary user who would account for the majority of page views and potential advertising revenue.
Getting a performant TCP is certainly hard. So, for that matter, is getting congestion control right --- TCP congestion control is devilishly hard. But you don't have to do either of those things to get an interoperable TCP!
It can, with macros. Though Scala's stri g interpolation will get you mostly there (correct number of arguments, local format specifiers that are harder to mess up).
I (a) don't think TCP DNS routinely stuffs two requests in a single TCP segment and (b) don't believe TCP DNS is ever more performant than UDP DNS, including on mobile --- UDP gets a head start from not having a 3WH, and doesn't have rate limiting, which TCP does. TCP headers are also much larger than UDP headers.

Even the reliability argument doesn't make sense. Yes, TCP is "reliable". But so is UDP DNS, and in exactly the same way: if a request or response is dropped, it's retransmitted.

Nagle, for what it's worth, is an HN contributor. You could just ask him. :)
But to replace a fire fighter would require order of magnitude discoveries in several fields you would effectively need true AI and a self powered robot with as good strength and endurance as a human.
There's no point in sending people with Covid to the hospital. We can't cure viral infections anyways, all it does is just facilitate spread.

Eventually we'll just figure out prophylactic measures for those groups most at risk and leave it at that. It's what we do already with the "common cold", even though the cold can be very dangerous and deadly to some people.
That's fascinating. Can you imagine a scenario where negative coverage is not a "hit piece"? Is any journalism that the person being covered by does not like a "hit piece"

Your defensiveness for the subject in question is incredibly obvious, and ironically, deeply irrational.
Write shit or talk shit? I’ll take write shit.
My understanding is that (normal) aluminium frames have to be stiff due to bending fatigue.

Steel is much more forgiving (Ti is the same, iirc), and carbon fiber in a suitable matrix can handle dynamic loads above 50% of it's ultimate tensile strength.
Moving air removes heat through convection, which requires mass. While air is a decent insulator, vacuum is considered a perfect insulator. That's why they put it, or very low density gas, between multi paned windows.

And the only thing you can do is move the heat because of conservation of energy. There is no other way to get rid of it.
Iirc they also did that in germany and the result wasn't 20% more shots, but less bottles supplied ;-)
I think your analogy breaks because it represents the people "shoving" Parler and the people talking about this afterwards as one, which is not the case.

A better analogy would be: Parler likes to hang out with the school bully, even though everyone told them not to. One day, the bully shoved Parker and it broke it's teeth. Should the bully's conduct have been allowed? Almost certainly not, and that's a problem. But at the same time Parler was warned about the bully and yet they disregarded all warnings, believing that it wouldn't happen to them.

Parler can make a stand, saying "it is the school's job to keep bullies under control" (which is true) and live it's life as if there were no bullies because that's what life should be. Some people do precisely that for worthy causes, knowing full well what the consequences are (see: Rosa Parks). Or they can do what most of us did in school and stay away from the bully. Less principled? Sure. But our dentist bills are a lot cheaper as a result.
Why, it was so sophisticated that not even we at ~ Microsoft ~ could have possibly anticipated and defended against it
If twitter can detect misgendering, wrongthink, and "covid misinformation" with supranatural speed, why not obvious scams. I am not being sarcastic. These sites have algos to detect what they perceive to be covid misinformation.
And yet, somehow, over the last 20 years the crime rate in
the US has dropped tremendously.

Crime rates in all Western countries have dropped over the last 20 years. More interestingly, the crime rate in the US does not significantly differ from that in other countries[1]. Even taking the statistics from [1] at face value (they are probably skewed by various different definitions for 'crime'), The Netherlands has the same crime rate as the US, yet the prison population is six times smaller (per capita)[2]. Considering the various other Western countries doesn't make that better. Your assertion that the US suffers from --criminality in some American cultures-- seems unfounded.

True, though they both have massive effects on ones life and others' view of them (especially professionally). It's nearly as bad, especially after 7 months.
You would definitely be able to see it first! You'd just organise a suitable viewing time with the owner (you can send messages back and forth using the system)
Because of legacy and backwards compatibility problems.

It's like, when you have a database engine written in Cobol and you're asked to improve it by implementing latest ideas in database technology, sometimes that code base is written in such a fundamentally broken way that a better solution is to write it in C.

The problem with improving current system is that the system has all the power and will resist change. The people who can change the system are people who're benefiting from the system being what it is. It's not like there aren't people aware of the problem and trying to change it (see Lessig) but they are not having much success. The laws are created by Congress and many see corruption of Congress as the main problem and Congress will not vote itself from the island any more than Kim Jong-Il will.

Which is why the only realistic way to really experiment with new governance systems, especially ones with radical ideas, is to start from scratch.
There is that girl from Indonesia, and Jimmy Wales. And some other people. According to the ads.
It's not exactly "arbitrary", since it corresponds to a number of anti-crime measures specifically aimed at incarcerating criminals for longer periods of time. For instance, 23 states, covering a majority of the American population, passed "three strikes" laws in the 1990's. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_strikes_law

For clarification on my thoughts about cultural heterogenity, please look at this comment: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2036933
I never said that English is/will be the only language having existence. English is not the first language in India and with the kind of diversity India has I am sure it never will be the first language. But it is the common platform for people to communicate. Same is the case with other languages. We are talking while living in a much broader perspective now, where people are looking forward to work with each other and gain, rather than rule each other. So, just because some event happened in past, its not necessary that it will happen again.

And while I am at it, let me say that this human kindness has not evolved on its own. We are living in a nuclear age, so for one person/country to dominate others it it will take millions of life and an entire economic era to fall down.

So from current standing of the world, thinking that there will be one major global event which will suddenly change the way we live is a little imaginary, unless we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.

China is one of the fastest growing economies and there is no denial to the fact the Chinese language will spread once the trade has more open face but at the same time no one else has stopped (US and other English speaking countries). So languages might co-exist but replacing English is far from truth.

I truly wish that more n more languages attain a global status. This will just add to the learning.
I have mixed feelings about such things. I'm pretty idealistic, like to promote egalitarianism, etc. On the other hand, there is value to having context, to having someone "vetted" so to speak, and so on.

Talking about my personal accomplishments (in terms of getting myself well) often falls on deaf ears. Why? Because it is so far outside the experience of others with my diagnosis that they just can't relate to it. I sound like some nutcase. I get called a charlatan, liar and snake oil salesman. And I might never get anywhere with it because I really want the information to stand on its own and not get "sold" based on personal charm/popularity -- and that is undermining my ability to speak about it at all because other people are chasing popularity and doing all in their power to shape what can and can't be discussed through social influence of a sort that I loathe.

I have thought about writing up some stuff about moderating forums and talking about the importance of creating a forum with "gravity" rather than "magnetism". As most folks here probably know, gravity is a quality space not objects. If gravity were a property of objects, it would work like magnetism and all your planets would clump together with the sun or something like that -- like the big mess you find in a typical kitchen junk drawer where a magnet has gotten tossed in with paper clips and scissors and such. And life as we know it just wouldn't exist.

I am not entirely clear how to create "gravity" as part of the social space and take some of the emphasis off the "magnetism" of important members. Yet, even though gravity is a property of space, some objects have higher gravity (due to size, etc) than others and therefore exert more pull. How to clearly distinguish the two things and make sure you are encouraging gravity over magnetism is something I am a bit less clear on -- at least at the moment, a tad shy of 4am.
Fine. But I reserve to laugh at Fortune. This line in the article stands out: "If you want to criticize someone for overvaluing Groupon, take a good long look at public market investors."

Aren't they doing THAT in this article?
Anything with Cringely on it should be suppressed on this site.
My point was to capital as a whole (that is, all of the capital.) When I say "get large" I meant as a large percentage of all capital. Even multi-billion dollar funds have this problem, and that's just a tiny fraction of all capital.
That's pretty neat, is it Eniros? Never knew it existed. I like the personal aspect of it. And on that topic I remember the recent app "Wakie" [0] that has a similar concept, maybe more towards the fun aspect.

Could even be done as a couchapp.
Shadow DOM is a DOM structure that's hidden under a tag (for example, the <video> tag has a Shadow DOM which provides the controls and timecode UI).

Virtual DOM is (typically) a pure JavaScript object-based DOM representation that gets somehow flushed to actual DOM (or to WebGL or anything else). You as the programmer use the Virtual DOM directly and try to avoid talking to the real DOM underneath. Virtual DOM has a few advantages, but the one that stands out in today's browsers is limiting DOM thrashing where you query the DOM (requiring an expensive recalc) and then modify the DOM (invalidating what was recalc'd) in a loop.
I believe it's possible to perform a MITM attack on contactless cards.

I do also remember reading about researchers at Cambridge University who were looking at this maybe 7-8 years ago.
Sure, happy to help.

Right on cal.com homepage they call out that they are open source, and they have several places where they link off to their github account.
Is there an estimation how much help it can be to the astronomers whence we manage to move all garbage (dead sat for example) from the space?
Thanks, that’s good to know.

I’m in a large city in Germany where access to medication is very strict, so we will see.

I’m in the process of being diagnosed formally since a while now. Since the pandemics psychiatrists are overbooked which results in 6+ months between appointments, so everything is very, very slow :)
Thanks again for the questions. Please do email me if I happen to overlook anything: joel at browserless dot io
We've both seen too much... O_O
Is been fairly well established empirically that monozygotic twins are treated differently than dizygiyic twins. Specifically, they share a much more similar environment than dizgoyic twins.

In other words, the equal environment assumption does not hold in reality.
Why would something need to use techniques less than 10 years old to qualify as being AI? The field of artificial intelligence has been around for well over 50 years. Long before the most recent boom in AI research and marketing, AI has been a serious academic field and has been taught as part of a standard computer science curriculum. Very basic techniques like A* search are widely recognized as being AI techniques.

There’s really no point in having a semantic argument, but just know that if you wish to do so you are arguing against many decades of wide usage of the term.
Has introducing students to a programmable computer dedicated to math improved math education? Yes, yes it has. Writing a program to automate certain computations certainly helps your understanding better than performing said computations by rote multiple times.
Now that we've all seen the awesome implementation I think a clone in Go is not far off.

If I don't see one by EOD I'll have to make - is thing is super cool
I would love to make the source available. But there's no getting that genie back in the bottle once you go that route. I wanted to release it and get some feedback before deciding what to do with it. That said, a server that supports the examples on this page is pretty trivial to implement (especially if you skip the pubsub stuff). I had a working prototype in a weekend. Multiple implementations would probably be a good thing.

EDIT: also, the current state of the code base is not something I'd be excited about having my name attached to ;)
I'm not entirely sure, there's a lot of basic crime mindset in the most famous titles. It's not will hunting or shawshank redemption smart, far from that.
In the author's opinion, what men are looking for in online dating apps is to dispense with the app:

> For a little contrast, I went on a few dates with men as a woman during the course of my time as Ned. The men I met on the internet, and then subsequently in person, didn't require this epistolary preamble, nor did they offer it. They were eager to meet as soon as possible, usually, I found, because they wanted to see what I looked like. Their feelings or fantasies would be based on that far more than, or perhaps to the exclusion of, anything I might write to them.

Say what you will about this attitude, I wouldn't say that the men are looking for something different online than they are in person. Rather, they think online interaction is getting in the way of what they want, and they do their best to avoid it.
> Twitter, I've deleted the mobile app and I follow no one. I have a separate list of profiles I find interesting. I have to physically go to that list and click on their profiles.

Interestingly, this is the same solution I came to with Twitter, except I don't even keep a list of profiles, I just navigate based on memory and auto-complete in the address bar.
Possibly can be best thing for them as they don’t bother to make EV that lasts (failing to heat/cool batteries, but great cars otherwise). Someone might hack something good now lol.
Second this. I've used the Android app for ages and it's always been a pleasure to use. As an Android dev myself I can really appreciate the performance and polish.

I'm sorry you have to see your work go like this. Best of luck to you!
Bioshock was the first to make me uncomfortable with a choice. Do I harvest the Little Sister, and get more powerful? Or do I "rescue her", which itself looks a bit like torture at first, and send her off in a place that is filled with psychopaths who'd want to kill her anyway.

Later in the series, when I experienced what it's like to BE a Little Sister, it almost made me regret "rescuing them" before, because the way they see the world as a Little Sister is quite beautiful, and they did serve a profound purpose.

The final choice seems to be a moral absolute, but it was a deeply unsettling choice, for me, to make, and to revisit again later.
beautiful! I had this file sitting on my desktop in compressed JPEG format. Text JPEGs are inherently bad and spit out ugly pics:

Original - 327kb - http://i.imgur.com/DTxTcLp.jpg

MozJPEG - 127kb - http://i.imgur.com/jVESWGS.jpg

Stared at both side by side and really struggled to tell the difference. Great job!

Sorry WebP is great but I just don't see it getting adapted unless all browsers get on board as well as big software. JPEG is practically a household name, photographers, artists, insta-grammers,all know what it is and short of a mild revolution I just don't see it.

I remember hearing about the sitcom formula watching an interview with the Simpsons writers. They were kind of reluctant to talk about it the same way a magician wouldn't want to talk about how the tricks are done.

The part that stood out was when they said they always reveal the main conflict just before the mid-episode commercial break so you'll stay tuned.

From then on I can't help not see it every time I watch a half hour show.
I don't have a lot of information that I need to handle, but I use zim (http://zim-wiki.org/) as a desktop wiki. It's working well for my little needs.

There is also camlistore (http://camlistore.org/) which is trying to be the recpipient for every content one wishes to store: images, music, PDF files, bookmarks, RSS feed items, ... It's working well in the "aggregating" phase, but still a little bit lacking in the "organizing" phase (which may very well be the work of third-party application). For the moment content is accessible through a simple search engine though.

I guess my point is: it has at least all the features that make other trucks functional. Why wouldn’t this be functional? Because of the way it looks?

The thing is armored to support tough jobs. What makes it a "Luxury" vehicle? Again, the looks?

Also, I saw a video of a 6'4" sitting in the back seats and saying there was plenty of space over his head and for his legs.
If the TSA officer was being truthful when they said the flight would be held, then JetBlue may have just been ensuring that they could take of on time.
Reading through this sub-thread I was struck by the image of an artificial, permanent "full moon": the closest thing we could get to natural light at night.

But I reckon having it be full moon all the time would cause problems of its own. I have difficulty sleeping when the moon is full, I'm full of energy.

I read this is because of an energy boost (moon and mania share the same root) for hunting, that humans used to hunt in the moonlight.
From which version of Server? Where does the log go? I have a use for this.
Huh, TIL. I've never come across this feature - not on WhatsApp, iMessage, SMS (obvs)...
Couldn’t you just change the date back a few years in that case? Why do you need an accurate date on the TV?
Yes, they’re basically all doing this. “Automatic Content Recognition,” called various things by the different brands, lets them know what you’re watching even if it’s coming from another device over HDMI instead of using the TV’s apps.

Android TV might not build it in, but much like android phones, you get extra “features” from pretty much every OEM.
It's already mentioned in this thread: built in IoT. There are IoT vendors that have roaming agreements worldwide; typically you stick these things on containers or other mobile assets. They call home whenever they can.

For an actual arms race, we need vendors on the consumer side front to create beautiful Faraday Cages for "your" home appliances.
Playing devil's advocate here, but these trackers are useful for the newsletter publishers to know what content is interesting and what isn't for their readers.

On the other hand, I agree with your argument in regards to security.

Alternatively, you could include in the processed email both the original link (tracked) and the destination. Then, you as a reader can decide if you want to be tracked (and give feedback to the publisher) or not.
I agree. The over reliance on technology is making us less aware of our innate abilities to reason things out.

Easy access to information might make us "smarter" in a sense that we know how to find this information. But let's face it, we don't actually know how to find stuff. Google does that.

We just type simple questions that any 10 year old can do.

You need to have both enabled in order for any logging to occur.

Let's explore the 4 scenarios:

Cell Off, GPS Off: Nothing to log.

Cell On, GPS Off: Phone knows what towers it can see, but can't set the location.

Cell Off, GPS On: Phone knows where it is, but can't see towers.

Cell On, GPS On: Phone can see towers, and knows location. Logs this data.
No, they kept me available for jury service for two weeks.

10:00am: show up at courthouse. Get some free coffee, sit in the juror's assembly room.

12:00pm: Lunch break

1:30pm: Back from lunch.

3:00pm: If courts needed no jurors, go home.

Do that for two weeks, get paid $20 per day by the courts for my time.
