However it does not come "bundled" with an OS. It is more versatile than many development boards in the sense of running different OS "out of the box". Granted the boot process is not ideal, but the design does give users a degree of freedom of choice in OS that many other SBCs do not. Most dev boards (certainly ones pre-RPi) are targeted at a single OS "out of the box": Linux. How many run Plan9.

I read this complaint about the RPi firmware so often on HN but I have never read how it actually is being used to stop RPi owners from doing what they want with their RPi. It is theoretically a problem but in practice what has actually happened. There has been an enormous amount of tinkering with RPis, people are using them for all sorts of things, and are able to build on the work of others. DRM is important but viewing copyrighted works is not the only use for a computer.

There is no perfect computer but the RPi for its OS-versatilty is arguably better than many others who fail miserably on that point.

There are certainly better dev boards from a spec standpoint, but if it cannot boot off external media and is only intended to run a single OS, I think it is missing some "freedoms" that the RPi provides.

Walmart is commonly paying $12-$13/hr to first year employees around the US, Target is at a minimum $13/hr ($15/hr in 2020), Amazon is at $15/hr. Those are, broadly speaking, the new floor in American wages.

In cities, companies almost always have to pay more, so Walmart's wages on average are even higher in Detroit than in the middle of nowhere. They hoover up a lot of labor near or above $15/hr in places like Detroit.

Basically his wife's business is competing with massive labor absorbing machines that will pay at or above $15/hr. They also offer benefits. Small businesses (mom & pop types) that pay low wages and have tight margins often struggle to offer even basic competitive benefits, it's a very large additional cost in a business. So if she wants to take employees away from Walmart in Detroit, she might have to offer $18/hr instead.

How do you deal with copy, paste, and accessibility issues?
How about tables, or frames? Lynx doesn't even support those.
Thanks man!

Had to read about what Numeraire[1] means for answering, didn't know that concept!

My approach was to treat all accepted stablecoins as having the same value pegged to the USD.

Upon depositing tokens a conversion is made to normalize the value that is added to the address balance in the exchange, since different stable coins may have different decimal places in their representation.

You can see this code here in the "depositTokens" function of the "CreditProvider" contract:

- https://github.com/TCGV/DeFiOptions/blob/master/contracts/fi...

The "token conversion rate" is applied in line 85 to the deposited value.

So let ne be naive, is performance important? Would a user matter?

In my opinion what matters is how much energy is consumed when executed on a smartphone or IoT device. Because there the main question is, when do I have to recharge the next time. For IoT applications this is highly critical. In this regard fast is not automatically energy efficient, if you consider e.g. big.LITTLE cpu architectures...
How about you prove your haven't stolen my Mazda? Because I believe you did stole my Mazda and it should be on you to prove innocence.
The trick here would be integrating that to play nicely with load balancers, REST-style APIs, and reducing overhead from establishing yet another secure connection.

Ahh... but the decision makers in this case are elected officials... democracy in action.
Looking at this from Europe, this just feels ludicrous, like we are all taking crazy pills, and slowly this kind of mentality is infecting everywhere. Anything which focuses on race first is inherently racist.

I do not care for your ethnicity, race, gender, or religion. If you are qualified for the job, you get the job.

I just remembered reading on TechCrunch a VC fund which only accepts bids for women only led startups. How the hell is something like that allowed? I was honestly temped to apply just to see what they would say. Sorry you are a man, please go away.

And I know there are going to be people to downvote me for stating this, but just imagine if the opposite happened, if someone made a young male VC fund... Heads would roll...
True, this doesn't work in Rust though, because nothing at all happens before the first time you poll a future, so you need an explicit task (but as other pointed out, it's pretty straightforward thanks to the `join!` macro).
Oh, right, that was a quiz to see who could catch that mistake and uhhh YOU WON! hehe

No, my mistake. I think my still semi-hungover mind was thinking Bump but wrote about Square. I'll fix that.

And can somebody please create that hangover cure app soon please? Cuz that would be nice.
I'm very impressed by how they take responsibility for this, in their words: "HEROKU TAKES 100% OF THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DOWNTIME AFFECTING OUR CUSTOMERS LAST WEEK."

It would be both easy, tempting and heck, even reasonable to assign at least a portion of the blame to Amazon. Their approach is interesting because their customers already know that, but are likely to appreciate their forthright acceptance of responsibility.

It's a good lesson. If I'm being totally honest I'd have to admit that, as a developer, I sometimes blame external services or events for things that I have at least partial control over. Perhaps I should adopt Heroku's approach instead.
Being a security guy, I agree that no amount of planning and intelligence will keep out a significantly determined attacker. However, this doesn't give you carte blanche to not think about security. All the evidence presented around this shows that they simply didn't make it difficult at all; as soon as the console fell, so did their system. They seem to have violated every rule in security. That is simply unacceptable.

It's one thing to be attacked by determined people and fail eventually -- given enough time, everyone does -- but it's a completely different matter to give the keys to the castle to anyone with a rooted PS3.
I don't understand why they did that. I hated that voice. Is it an in-joke or something?
I agree with what iqster said. If you do decide to come to the Bay Area, definitely familiarize yourself with the state of tech here first (and network like hell!) and look for a job you love doing. Being a code monkey is only fun if the project is fun. Good luck and stay strong!
What we need to do is merge the brains of Neil deGrasse Tyson, Stephen Hawking, and Michio Kaku.
OTOH, wouldn't it be neat if a distributed Tahoe-LAFS supported dropship-like functionality as a feature?
That would work as well. I didn't realize there was an open source license which lets me do that.
It's all about the funnel.

For 100% mobile apps, intelligent marketing is nigh impossible since there is no funnel- Apple doesn't tell you impressions v conversion rate of app pages.

Without that information, apps that are 100% mobile, with no web component, cannot market effectively.

Apps with web components, on the other hand, can measure the rate of online signups to app purchases, and optimize accordingly.

Mobile only products use free apps as a lead-gen tool to convert to paid.

My company is moving to the web model, simply so we can implement effective marketing, without a clear RPU and conversion rate.
I don't live in Sf but its city government sure sounds dysfunctional, more so than most cities at least.
Industrial meat to be more precise. I've pretty much stopped buying meat from supermarkets, and buy from a local farmer who does his own butching. Funny thing is, it's not even more expensive. No middlemen!
Yeah you wouldn't source a script written for a different shell in this language, if that's a part of your workflow you'll want to either audit them first or you'll just want to drop into a bash shell.

I'm not sure how you end up rm -rf ing anything. 'rm -rf' by itself doesn't do anything, and if you do 'rm -rf .' that's no longer valid python. Not to mention that most people writing python would write 'rm - rf' if for some reason they had variables with those names (why would you name it that?) that they needed to subtract. And for some reason, you're not doing anything with the result of that subtraction.

If you're sourcing scripts without reading them, the source of the danger is that behavior, not your shell
Wrong, reference counting is a GC algorithm, and both language specifications don't state what exact algorithm is to be implemented.

In fact there are tons of GC implementations across all Java implementations, including reference counting.

For example, "An on-the-fly reference-counting garbage collector for java"

And they can be considered an asshole and asked to not continue their role as a leading representative of a diverse community of people.
That's fair. In the specific case I have in mind, load was very bursty and scaling was a major concern; we were always looking to minimize both latency impact on revenue and infra cost impact on profit. Having the critical path live in its own heavily optimized services made demand scaling very easy and very fast; I don't think we could have done as well with less separation, and once you've already got the necessary infra and practices in place, it becomes very natural to apply them to the other problems you have to solve.

Not to say you can't get in trouble that way, for sure. It's its own kind of tradeoff, not least in that you need more ops support than a simpler infrastructure would require, and you need someone with the architectural vision and authority to ensure things don't get out of hand. It's definitely not where I'd want to start with anything, and you need a strong team to make it work, but I can say from experience that it can work amazingly well. Like, about twenty people supporting about $2B ARR well.
The RIVM is a scientific institute. In addition to that, they provide an advisory service to the Dutch government and to the Dutch population.

You should never believe anyone outright (including oneself). So yes, you get to choose when to believe them.

The RIVM has traditionally had a very good reputation to its level of scientific research. Nevertheless, this does not entail a good consulting role on policy making, especially under duress.

In conversations I have had with governance experts, the relatively weak political position of the RIVM has come up many times. During normal times, this political position is irrelevant, since the RIVM is merely a reflection of scientific insights. During times of crisis and power struggles, the leadership position crumbles.

That, in and of itself, is the sole reason the RIVM has struggled the last year. Power was not balanced. You can see this numerous times:

- RIVM was forced to make a position on the role of COVID-19 on children. Absence of evidence became evidence of absence.

- RIVM was forced to make a position on face masks. Same thing happened. There simply was not enough strong evidence (according to their own strict rules of peer-reviewed, double-blind research).

Similar miscommunications have happened on the topic of aerosols and schools as an important contributing vector.

Please realise how important this is. This is a large scale and continuing failure of governance.
Is there a new short sell campaign for tesla I'm unaware of?
> I studied journalism in undergrad, and I have never understood why people are so drawn to watch these national 24hr 'news' channels.

Because the alternative (other than going out for a walk) is watching re-runs of many years old shows or other outright crap.

Personally, I like the 24/7 radio news channel of the local public broadcaster ("B5 Aktuell") - news and information program, but no pop music that was bad already when it came out.
Well, I regret putting that part in, as I was just trying to be cheeky :)

It took away from my overall point, as I don't have strong convictions on that one.

That one is much more subjective than the other points!
I disagree with Twitter's decision. I can't give any more comments without risking getting banned myself from HackerNews.
I don't directly disagree and I feel kind of weird about this too, but the idea that a private company could have been 1) big enough to matter and 2) blocked the head of the government from using the service without literal heads rolling in USSR 40 years ago doesn't match with my understanding of that era.

Actually if Twitter were silently forced to not only carry the president's message but also boost it to everyone's feed and secretly silence his opponents that feels more USSR to me, and feels like almost the opposite of what's happening here.
This action makes twitter seem a lot more significant than it probably is.
The right has promised 4 years of terror. I'm over it already.
It's been a while since I did root finding in SciPy, but in principle I do not agree, and it doesn't seem like you're proposing an actual solution. You can make the case that that root finding algorithm shouldn't be the default (if it is). You can argue for a warning, as mentioned in the bug, but what else? I personally prefer less magic in the algorithms (e.g. detect if it is a quadratic and pick a suitable algorithm), and more information in the docs about the method being used so the user is aware.

Actually, I can see the argument both ways. To each his own. You're not fundamentally wrong, but you're also not fundamentally right either :-)

I personally should think their returned result should display the value of the function evaluated at their root so the programmer can check it against his own tolerance.
There are not two legitimate viewpoints. There is one, and many very smart people have spent a lot of time and resources figuring it out. Just like practically everything else in existence being something in the middle, it was decided that free speech is good with exceptions (your “b”, as it were). Language influences people, literally and figuratively. The mere act of knowing a different language changes how our brain works. So it’s not a stretch to understand and acknowledge that speech is powerful and can cause bad things to happen just as sure as if you did them yourself.
So then it potentially becomes impossible to create a startup that replaces existing social networks due to moderation requirements. Facebook and twitter got lucky they didn't get killed this way in the early days. This is similar to the criticism on the EU automated copyright violation detect requirements.

If moderation laws essentially make it impossible to build new mass platforms, then that creates a very strong case for having rights to have unrestricted open access to existing platforms, does it not? For example, the networks then wouldn't be able to issue lifetime bans at their discretion.
That's not hyberbole. The difference is that death is well defined, "bad argument" is not.
IMHO the downvotes have two reasons:

Calling the Haredim out on their behaviour is not anti-semitic.

Complaining or commenting about downvotes is not regarded well on HN.

Yeah, when you read these rants on "instrumentality" of science what you realize is that it's just apologia of literary studies degree holders to convince others of the importance of their diploma.

Why do they build such tall buildings in an earth quake area?

The basic answer is that they had no idea what kind of earthquake was possible there. That earthquake is #3 on the list at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_earthquakes#Largest_ea... and was the second megathrust earthquake recorded since the geological knowledge existed to figure out what they were. (The first being Chile in 1960.)
I travel a lot, and in addition to my iPhone w/AT&T International Roaming (Company picks it up - provides a constant phone number for people to call me wherever I am, and has all the smartphone goodness that is useful for a road warrior) - I also carry a Nokia 105 which I pop a local SIM into for all my local calling - Saves about $500-$1000/Month easily on calling charges. It looks like the Nokia 215 is the same price, with the addition of some basic Internet Connectivity as well. Same 30 Day battery life as well. Super happy to see Microsoft is continuing to make the super-low end Nokia phones, though hard to see how this fits their general business model, other than being "Mobile first"
Panic are one of the longest standing developers of Mac Apps. They used to make one of the earliest Mac MP3 playing apps (called Audion) which very nearly got purchased by Apple as the foundation for iTunes.

Money. They release proprietary drivers, but Linux isn't a big enough segment of their client base for them to spend a ton of time and money getting the drivers right. If there was a linux based distro that was able to compete with Apple and Microsoft, then things might be different.
Tipping predates minimum wage law in America. When they were written the laws just took into account the fact that some people get paid in tips.

Americans got the tipping culture from Europe before it faded away in Europe.
I used puppet (masterless) in a small company, and in my new company I'm using Ansible and Docker. Puppet and Chef are great, but they're overkill unless you have large infrastructure. If there's only one of you doing 'ops', you don't have large enough infra (in my opinion). Ansible is easy to configure and learn, and doesn't wrap you in dependency hell like puppet can.

I would avoid Docker until you have a use-case that Docker solves for you. Use your preferred distro's packaging technique. It can be a bit of a pain (.deb in particular) to start with, but once you're familiar, it's portable and manageable with your OS's native tools. Things 'just work', and don't need an agent to be installed and kept up-to-date. If something goes wrong, it's in your OS's standard logs, not some strange arcane location. And most importantly, you have a bigger pool of interneteers to help learn from and troubleshoot with. I can't complain about the Docker IRC channel, good experience there, but there's still fewer of them.

If you are a .debber and want your own repo, check out Aptly, which makes life much easier than previous repo software on offer. http://www.aptly.info/

TL;DR: Docker is 'another thing to learn', and it's not trivial. Put it off until it solves a problem for you; there's plenty of other stuff to get up to speed with.

Shame that they didn't do some A/B testing to more accurately quantify the effect.
It isn't that I'm playing a game, it's that game anticheat these days will collect and send so much PII 24/7 even when there is no game running, and the anticheat service is NOT removed when you uninstall the game that loaded it. And of course the anticheat service blocks VMs / will ban you if it detects VMware, VirtualBox, etc.

I'm wondering what happens to company data that's been exfiltrated by these anticheat services or how it's protected
what? xx3 is xxHash. and your own page says "the fastest hash functions on x86_64 without quality problems are: xxh3low" Whether its the fastEST, it is fast as hell. And why not use in production? (yes, I know it is not cryptographically sound, that's not why I'm using it)
I don't think its weird. Its just a function of supply and demand : vendors following the customers, not the other way around.

In the US, Customers are college students, and they don't have money for restaurants. That's why you have pizza joints near campuses, and not healthy options instead. I suspect this is more of the same here.
I have my blokada set to DNS mode only because many apps decide to not use the IP address of pi hole in WiFi settings so blokada pushes all data through to pihole and that works well
If it's all remote, how does your employer know where you're really at? I'm waiting for the story where someone's caught claiming to live in SF or NYC for the pay but really lives somewhere rural.
Any Spanish person who claims they cannot tell red from white wine is probably a teetotaller. However you can buy extremely good wine for a few € here, which leads me to think these people may have been served some watered down stuff for budget reasons.

Just about every single one of the email newsletters you receive from anyone does this. It's for tracking clicks to links in an email, opens of an email, etc.

Not apologizing for PIA - They definitely shouldn't be doing it if they're trying to advocate for privacy. But just stating it's extremely common practice and the default for most email services. I use it on my e-commerce websites so that I can send specific emails to people who have viewed a certain page, abandoned checkouts, opened a certain email but didn't convert, etc.
They belong to the same category but the diagram.codes engine and editor were created from zero.
Javascript (without typescript) also has duck typing. The difference with structural typing is that the interface is formalized and enforced compile time.

Python 3.7 added compile structural typing using what they call Protocols. It works very similar to typescript. See https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0544/
I haven't read all those papers, but basically you could always bribe miners, even without smart contracts, just by giving them money outside the blockchain they mine.

One of the ideas of PoW is that if you have enough money to bribe the miners, it's better for you to be a miner yourself. Is this the principle your examples weakens? I may have misinterpreted them.
The program defines a type `t` with 257 constructors (`C_0` through to `C_256`). As an analogy, the type `boolean` has two constructors (`true` and `false`).

Each of these constructors takes a natural number as an argument.

It then defines a function `is_256` which checks whether it's argument has the form `C_256 n` for some `n`, returning a boolean.

It then defines the value `falso` of type `False` (which shouldn't be possible). It does this by defining two values: one has type `is_256 (C_256 0) = true`, the other has type `is_256 (C_256 0) = false`. This is clearly a contradiction, which is used to construct the value `falso`.

The reason one value gives `true` and the other `false` is that the former is getting calculated by the regular Coq implementation, whilst the latter is getting calculated by the buggy `vm_compute` alternative. vm_compute should give identical results, but faster; but since there's a bug, we can derive a contradiction by mixing correctly-calculated values with incorrectly-calculated values.
