The median is an average. You probably meant to ask whether 80-100k was the mean or the median.
You're changing the subject. This topic is about personality traits, not medical conditions.

This statement is still true: "There's literally no context where attributing qualities to people based on their skin color is OK."

You wanted to be pedantic, so you ignored the context in which that statement was made. If you hadn't ignored the context, you would've known the statement was about personality traits and not medical conditions.
One of my favourite tech overkills I've seen in my career is Cassandra database to store couple million records. Yup. Needless to say, it was later converted to PostgreSQL. The guy who did it is still advertising the fact on his online CV.
> With [sic] the article doesn't mention is that Berkeley was the first city in the country to adopt single family zoning 100 years ago

Literally from the article:
"Berkeley was the first city in the country to enact single-family zoning more than 100 years ago."
Would zsh still protect me if the script explicitly uses Bash (i.e. #!/bin/bash)? Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm unsure how shells work when calling other kinds of shell scripts.
From what we've heard, most people would rather see the happy hour promos than a toe fungus commercial while they eat, but I totally see where you're coming from.

We also let the bars play music instead of the commercial's audio which usually helps the atmosphere a lot.

The default kernel resume implementation will look for a hibernate header in the visible swap partitions on boot.

If you boot into an initramfs and make additional swap partitions visible, eg via losetup, you can then write the device major:minor into /sys/power/resume and kaboom the kernel will freeze userspace, read the hibernation image out of there, then jump to it.
Purchased a copy. Congrats on the book! Hoping to be able to use some of this to get some ideas on how to track some things to improve my health and possibly in some roundabout way for game design.
The real energy behind ACPI was Intel, not Microsoft - Intel ironically wanted an instruction-set neutral firmware glue given that they were splitting their efforts between Itanium and x86. And Intel is pretty pro-linux.

There's much worse in UEFI - UEFI, while a lot better than the awful real-mode boot process that came before it, actually requires building Windows PE executables and dlls, even for a linux system. And the sky didn't fall.
While you aimed for a flippant remark, robots helping with child rearing is absolutely going to happen. It’s already happening to the extent that it’s possible. What’s so bad about it?

That's a hassle to type every time, not to mention the typing itself being a little high on the difficulty scale, what with two shift characters and a left-pinky letter.
With Netflix you're already hard pressed to go five minutes without product placement.
Yelp, too, if you are using an iPhone without the Yelp app installed, you can't see any of the content.
When using YouTube, who are you having a private conversation with?

That model seems appropriate for messengers and such, but not really for the site under discussion here.
I'm not depending on an auto-router, which is why I went through the exertion of adding the word "rough" in my post. Auto-routers are a very nice time saver to get something going quickly.

Also, you have strictly no idea what kind of design I'm working on and therefore no idea what constraints - or lack thereof - I have to deal with when I design boards.

Finally, I've heard so many boomer EDA folks spew out this lame argument ... it's the same old tiresome song from folks who use to claim compilers could never beat hand-crafted assembly. They're very seldom heard from these days.

From image search they should also drop images that link to an academic paywall (e.g. Elsevier) where the image is not even shown. So painful.
I feel the same way about Bloomberg, and am consistently surprised by the number of Bloomberg links posted here on HN because clicking through any of them results in “Sorry, but you read your free article, time to pay up!”

Forbes is also effectively full of opinion hit pieces of low value (although these don’t seem to be paywalled). These also show up in a lot of Google searches and likewise get up-voted here quite a bit.

The question is, should google actively try to trim this content, and if so where should it end?
I feel so nostalgic when I read this Beej's Guide. It's a resource that my computer science professor highly recommended back in the early 2000s. The writing is so clear and concise that it's a pleasure to read (as opposed to some dry and technical materials). It's more useful than some textbook that cost hundreds of dollars. It saved me so much time and sleepless nights to figure out how to complete my network programming assignment.

Let me give you a virtual elbow bump! You really made an impact in my academic and professional career!
The fed is run by people in the top 1%, and not from the bottom 90%, so is there a meaningful difference?
Rather than an individual thought, consider the "line of reasoning" or "train of thought" and then consider again where it leads.

From two comments, it is hard to see whether your usage of "you" is rhetorical or whether you mean me in particular.

The easy case is the latter and for that I'll say that, I would be rather surprised if you had an accurate idea of what kind of a life I led and how much suffering is in my day-to-day life.

Let's go to the other instance, where you are speaking in general using the rhetorical "you". Here, I agree that there is a lot of suffering in this world. I'll take a specific case of it - hunger. There are a lot of hungry people in this world: even children dying of starvation. We have only considered humans so far. Imagine a little kitten somewhere abandoned by his mother (or just lost) and crying out in hunger (I've found a few like this). The question then arises: How can you eat any meal in peace? Does anyone have a right to eat in peace as long as involuntary hunger exists? Are they "permitted" to eat without guilt or shame? What if one eats a sandwich? What if it is rice? What if it is rice and chicken? What if it's an ice-cream? What if it's chocolate fondue? What if it's a king's feast?

I was unable to see any other natural end to that line of reasoning except a monastic life. Does that mean that when a butcher buys ice-cream for his little daughter, this act should in fact give them both guilt and shame instead of joy? This is not a simple matter if you were to think about how to thresh it out by taking both sides and pitting them against each other in your mind.

I have lived among people of very "opposing" cultures (different countries). Guilt features prominently in one of them. In my view, it is a kind of abuse to foist such a mindset on a young mind and teach a child that one has to look at an activity so natural and important as eating (or sleeping) and feel guilt or shame because of it. How does this not increase suffering? If one's ideal is to work towards diminishing suffering in this world, is causing more of it (to others or to oneself) the right method? In either case, why? And then follows the rationalists question to the idealist: "Will that work?"

If I were to be entirely honest, I do not think this medium can serve well to settle this matter. If we had met in person, I'd have been happy to share a meal with you and learn where each of us is headed. Not that that would settle it of course but it is much easier to debate such matters in those circumstances. I wish you luck and hope that you find a path to what you seek.
Warren would tell him to stay away from Samsung. Not that it’s particularly overpriced, just that the kids portfolio size opens up enormous markets where far higher return investments lurk.

When WEB started, he worked the pink sheets and small cais because he could, he was only managing a few million at the start.

He seldom went into mid or large CEOs because they tend to be much more efficiently priced. You can see the results of his narrowing pool of opportunities as his portfolio grew over the decades. He has learned more and gotten better over time, yet his 40% returns in the 50s and 60s melt into the 25% returns of the 70s/80s, and thence to 15% returns in the 2000s.

Work at it kid, turn over every rock and read a dozen financial reports a day, and don’t settle for less than 100% annualized while your portfolio is under $1M.
Uber banned one of my friend, he was driving with Uber with rating 4.91 and great reviews. Uber stupid AI (or that stupid developer whoever developed that stupid AI) thought user ratings and reviews are wrong and they are right, blocked him and he lost his income. I will never ever use Uber anymore.
"recently I’ve been working on a method to use a WiFi transceiver as sort of poor-man’s spectrum analyzer. This is useful only in applications where you want to snoop power levels in the range the chip works in."

That is insane! (I say that with admiration!) Insanely brilliant!

You'd never think (well, I'd never think!) of a WiFi transceiver as a spectrum analyzer (and yes, before HN goes nuts, we're only talking about the frequencies that the WiFi transceiver works in).

I love it! Brilliant!
The writer says "we" this and "we" that, as if everyone is enraptured by . . . I don't know who the Kardashians are beyond their name. I can't name a song by Justin Bieber.

I can't be the only one who doesn't pay attention or care about this world. I posted about six pictures to Instagram a few years ago and can't be bothered to do more.

It looks like a world of craving and dissatisfaction. I see people scrolling endlessly on the subway and don't see how it improves their lives. Maybe I'll get it one day and get sucked in.

It looks like all "want more" and no "tastes good," as I described in this old post: http://joshuaspodek.com/noticed-distinction-flavors
You are perhaps missing the point. ‘Fearing for one’s life’ is the legal bar for justified use of force by law enforcement officers. Remove that fear by sending in a robot rather than a human and fewer deaths will be legally justifiable.
right now there just isn't very much price pressure in the VPS industry

Isn't that the point? Right now, there isn't much of a margin left to undercut competitors with unless you scale up to Amazon or Rackspace size. Developments like this could change that again.
This has always bothered me, as well. I don't like the solution the military grid reference system came up with:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MGRSgridSouthPole.png

I'd much prefer a solution that removed the square grid requirement and the dissimilar angular coordinates, divided the earth into roughly equally sized and shaped sectors, and ideally was hierarchical so that you could achieve a naming scheme similar to the geohash. A bit of googling led me to this picture, which looks promising: http://icon.enes.org/swm/icoswp/node3.html
Your logic doesn't hold. It doesn't matter what age advisories they put in place the parents can directly blame them for content in the app store.

Wow it's almost like the media is all propaganda and lies, people on the internet claim to be smart while they don't really understand what they are talking about, wow who knew. (Yes I include myself in the pulling shit out my ass on the internet group)
Yes, it's a guest post. What I said is that, while in theory they said they will research all major OSs (including Android, which is by far the most common mobile OS), they have yet to publish a single vulnerability as a result of their research.
"After the end of the recovery interval the device must accept data transfers at any time." simply says that "hardware must be ready (in order to accept data transfer)"
Yes it does. One would hope that in a properly governed country, information would be presented in a way such that the person making a decision understands that the costs and benefits are not guaranteed and that there is a risk associated - in the same way that companies have strict guidelines on how they report and investors are warned of the risks.

If you are connecting to a remote system, it could be NAT configured badly on your router.

The router provided by my ISP (Virgin Media) is ruthless at closing idle TCP connections after only a few minutes. I'd see this with idle SSH logins being closed all the time.

The solution (for me at least) was to ensure connections used TCP keepalives, and vastly decrease the keepalive times (various sysctl calls, I don't have the details to hand).
Not a single hospital has been filled up anywhere including places that had loose restrictions. That's been a sensational argument since day one that's been proven to be false time and time again.

You can probably dig some article up on Google about some hospitals somewhere filling up but overall this has not happened.
It's 1000% worth it. The skills bleed over onto Mac, and now Windows. Best skills of my tech life, almost.
Previous posts apparently triggered some type of flamewar filter, so that's probably what happened here.
> There are 7.9 Billion people on the planet, and 185 million daily active twitter users.

Twitter is a US platform first and foremost. It doesn't make sense to compare the total number of Twitter users against the number of people on the entire planet. According to Statista:

> Social network Twitter is particularly popular in the United States, where as of January 2021, the microblogging service had audience reach of 69.3 million users

https://www.statista.com/statistics/242606/number-of-active-...

That is about a quarter of the US population. Your 185/7900 figure is off by an order of magnitude.
What makes you feel more favorable towards first draft in comparison to your friends. Is it a mental model that you've adopted? Some interest in screwing around before composing in earnest? No multi-million dollar contracts or other stressors hanging over your head?
Not only that, but it's always amusing how the top thrillers overlap with the top action and the top drama films.

I remember when last.fm used to just scrobble (?) my listening habits and offer music suggestions from people who have listened to similar things. One of the key advantages of that approach was that it wasn't constrained by availability of things it wanted to sell me, and the necessity of offering an answer no matter how valid. I'd be interested in using a similar service for films, which could THEN interact with netflix/prime etc and suggest things I might like.
The K1 I think was the first chip Nvidia really impressed me with.
I've always used Lorem Ipsum; never had a problem with designers or clients, but with other developers actually.

I understand that Lorem Ipsum has a letter distribution close to real text in English, and thus it is useful to judge how things will look. Other than that, couldn't you use more obviously-dummy text? Like "blah blahblah blah."?

Or just "This is an example text; we hope you like how it looks."?
Ah, yep, you're right - it's been quite some time since everything happened, and I misremembered it slightly. Though, what ultimately set it in motion was the advertising.

What he took exception to was my request that
(a) he remove the link to his blog from his signature, and
(b) that he refrain from linking to his blog frequently.

When he was asked these things, he took great exception to
the request; and, not surprisingly, even more so when the
links were removed. What he doesn't post
(and what I have the messages to prove, as I'm sure does he)
is that I told him he was more than welcome to post his
information here, instead of posting teasers here and
then linking to his site to finish. I told him at some
point he might be able to do that here; but, again, not
before he had shown that one of his primary reasons for
being here wasn't to redirect to his blog.
Ageing like everything in biology is incredibly complex. About the only thing we know for sure is that everyone with a simple theory to explain ageing is wrong.

Ageing is at least as complex as cancer, but has received 1000th the study. If we assume understanding of a field correlates with resources committed then ageing research is in the 1920s. If you read the scientific literature from 1920s on cancer you will find everyone had a theory and everyone was wrong.
Yeah - assuming there is any difference is frankly highly ignorant of industrialization and supply chains. Manufacturers are highly encouraged to go general purpose with everything unless it is restricted. That is how economies of scale work essentially.

A given model say a M1911 Pistol may still be in use by the military but it has been a civilian item for over a century at this point. Barring say labeling like serial numbers and look ups or red handed catching of thieves there is no reasonable way to say if a given specimen in a pawn shop is stolen. A predator drone however is clearly military only for now and a pawn shop dealing with it is obviously selling stolen goods illegally. (After all civilians manufactured them in the first place.)
The ISOFIX requirement is the big constraining factor. Ditch that and you can find combinations of compact car and child seats which will fit three across, though you’ll have less choice in terms of child seats.
And sliding doors, which are one of the best inventions ever when it comes to getting kids in and out of the car in tight spaces and garages.

Having learnt the term 'rolling coal' just now, I would sincerely hope the morons doing this are in a minority amongst truck drivers. I find it far more likely that conspicuous consumption is to blame for the truck/SUV trend than anti-environmentalism.
I agree there is no free lunch. But for that I don't want to sell everything & stand naked. Instead Whatsapp should introduce features on top of their platform - like Payments and make money out of that. Or add a throttle on number of messages people send per day or something. No free lunch is not an excuse for stealing data.
Overthrow of a US election is treason. That is violent at its core. FB has aided and abetted the spinning up of emotion and irrational fear. That they do something to 'put the genie in the bottle' is the least they could do.

And its not permanent. The same people can discuss this at length at some future time. Just not during a riot.

Lets not pontificate about fine points of personal rights, while the nation's Capitol is under attack?
Speaking as an end user: I deeply appreciate this particular approach. Sublime is one of the few {paid,proprietary} applications that I use on Linux; being able to install it with my normal package manager reduces my cognitive overhead and keeps me reassured that updates do indeed go through.

Yeah, they usually have a library. I read the papers at the library at the American Embassy in Prague. Apparently Kafka used to work there.

> fears of others

Fear of other people based on disability is discrimination. I have zero fear of blind people.

Fear of other species is not immoral. I'm afraid of snakes and alligators, and I'm just as afraid, if not much MORE afraid, of dogs, and my fears are justified by both hard data as well as past trauma.
TL;DR - O’Reilly argues Big Tech is not as responsible as Big Tobacco, Big Oil and all the other big baddies because Big Tech devotes large resources to researching and deploying counter measures. And that is mostly it as far as insight.

IMHO - this is largely fair and true, only his POV is distinctly technocratic. He says China does “some bad things” with facial recognition but the tech has some great potential. We’re not scapegoating Big Tech - we’re applying the brakes because it operates like a monopoly and enables far scarier scenarios than Big Tobacco or Big Oil.
If your worldview is this simple, it is also probably very wrong.
They do pay a portion though, through payroll taxes and their employee's income taxes. They also pay property taxes and shareholders pay capital gains taxes. I'm sure there are even taxes I am forgetting about. This is only talking about the tax on corporate profits.
