Let me use another scenario. 1969, Brazil. Members of a revolutionary group kidnapped the US Ambassador. After that, and a few other incidents, the government used the same argument you presented to review and approve contents of newspapers, magazines, radio shows, movies and correspondence.

Do you believe it is OK to do this, in order to disrupt their planning? Do you believe it becomes not-OK if the target of domestic terror is a tyrannical government?

The very same situation has happened across all of South America throughout the 20th Century.

I don't even have to look at the credits to know who put the video together - https://sandwichvideo.com/

They are f*king awesome and produce the best ads/product videos i've ever seen in my life. Unfortunately extremely expensive (the cost of 2 Ferraris) - unaffordable unless you are a SV startup that has raised $millions :)
I've heard its a K-shaped recovery. Some parts recovered quickly but others didn't. For example service and tourism didn't. But tech and construction is less impacted.
I wonder if, since so many on HN feel that they are enlightened people, it is possible for us to give the benefit of the doubt to people who's jobs we don't do and probably know nothing about?

Just because we work in tech does not mean we know everything, and not having been there means we don't know the circumstances anyway. It is disgustingly arrogant of any of us to proclaim that these people must be incompetent or complicit like some armchair quarterback.

Christ, I mean, this is roughly the same mentality as the people who think the election was stolen based on some anecdotes and bullshit despite what election officials, courts, and other experts are saying.
Locking the screen doesn't enable FDE though, does it?
You could use it without the battery pack plugged in at office situations, so that it would be forced to go powerless in your scenario.
I totally agree farmers markets are all about tax avoidance. They would charge me the flat dollar amount for cash but then add in the tax when I used a card. No way they are paying taxes on that cash transaction.
They would have much more credibility if they were to have equal representation from both sides of the political spectrum, and also include equally represented opposing views in articles for controversial subjects.

[I]n the day-to-day trenches of adult life, there is actually no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god or spiritual-type thing to worship–be it JC or Allah, be it YHWH or the Wiccan Mother Goddess, or the Four Noble Truths, or some inviolable set of ethical principles–is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive. If you worship money and things, if they are where you tap real meaning in life, then you will never have enough, never feel you have enough. It’s the truth. Worship your body and beauty and sexual allure and you will always feel ugly. And when time and age start showing, you will die a million deaths before they finally grieve you.

If you are already familiar with "This is Water" the below podcast of a philosopher and a psychologist about it might be of interest:

Don't worry about it. The functional style can be translated to helping you code functionally in other languages and solve problems with a functional bias.

It's a good thing.
That's because there are fewer letters. In wordle, ignoring the fact that the word need to exists, you could make 5 guesses with 5 new letters each time and still not quite exhausting the letter space. With the math one, in two guesses you can figure out the digits.

Also, I play wordle in the hardest mode, which forces you to always reuse known letters, which makes it a lot harder. (I also playu in a clone with an extended vocabulary here: https://www.arachnoid.com/wordgame/index.html)
Yes, but only when significant news happens at the last minute. (Think about why companies release earnings after the market closes.)
I'd pick Supportbreeze (if any picking needs to be done). Support needs to be fixed.
Define "failed". Some files are inaccessible? The disk works for a while but then stops responding? The disk spins up but the OS doesn't recognize it? The disk doesn't spin up?
That might be a pretty cool app idea: random trip planning. As in: "I don't really care, I have $1200 to blow on a 5 day trip June 4th-9th. When do I show up for my flight?"
The problem with outsourcing everything , is that you gain somethings(speed , access to talent, sometimes cost savings) , but you loose the tighter integration that a single unified company has.

This integration leads to better information sharing on projects, more aligned incentives for people in the project, and at least in some cases can lead to better products.
There is no Moore's Law in optics & batteries.

The AR everyone imagines is much further away than most realize.
DDC being standard, I just need to implement the protocol communication properly. Monitor vendors have to implement DDC because it's the only protocol supported by every device. So Lunar should work with all of the compliant monitors by default.

Problems arise when the connection between the device and the monitor(s) is not something you would expect, like Thunderbolt USB docks that multiplex the video connection but don't properly forward the DDC messages. That's where I'm constantly trying to find workarounds, mostly with the help of users that have the said setups.

I'm still looking for a better remote-debug tool to streamline this developer- user testing process. Right now I'm just asking users what doesn't work, trying to guess what's the problem, fixing that in code, compiling a beta version, sending the beta version to those users, get feedback, start over.

By the way, most of the Objective-C implementation of the DDC protocol was done by https://github.com/kfix . I just improved it a little for multi monitor and multi GPU setups.
Actually, I think news articles don't have clear-cut layers, but actually gradually dive deeper.

The original motivation were layout considerations for printed newspapers with limited space. With all articles pre-written like that, an editor could arrange them on the final layout and cut off at the end at discretion while keeping the most relevant information given the remaining space.

That being said, I don't think this is too relevant for your idea, just an interesting anecdote.
I'll eventually play it when I get to it in my ever-growing backlog of games and my ever-shrinking amount of personal time.
"But there are other factors that may have contributed to Italy’s fatality rates, experts say. This includes a high rate of smoking and pollution - the majority of deaths have been in the northern region Lombardy region, which is notorious for poor air quality."

This was also the case in china, but the age structure is different:

"A study in JAMA this week found that almost 40 per cent of infections and 87 per cent of deaths in the country have been in patients over 70 years old."

"An older population skew within the infected population explains most of the disparity in fatality rates between high and low countries. According to a study of the fatalities of COVID-19 cases in Italy, 99% of all deaths had an underlying pathology. Only 0.8% had no underlying condition."

Seems like a perfect storm for the elderly in italy who smoke a lot and most of them having an underlying condition like cardiovascular disease or diabetes II.
By coincidence yesterday evening I decided to start scanning my books with an Android application I'd come across during random surfing.

I figured if I picked a bookshelf at random and could enter all the books without a problem I'd do the whole house. As it turned out a random bookshelf had about 60% success rate.

I knew that I have some books without ISBN entries, and some that have got barcodes covered in stickers, etc, but I didn't expect it to be such a hard job. I guess every decade or two I try auditing books and I never get very far.

I should just pay a student to enter them into an online CRUD application and be done with it..
After reading some of the comments here, I'm wondering if people are actually following the link and reviewing the content.

The two courses are well-structured. Each course has an overall outline listing each lesson, and each lesson has a table of contents to overview the topics therein. The courses highlight major key topics in technical writing and does so with easy-to-internalize (tenets). I'd have loved for my university coursework to be so clearly organized.

Some highlights include defining your audience[1], engaging your audience[2] and reviewing how short and clear sentences improve comprehension[3].

> unless you implement your own Tensorflow OP in C++/Cuda

I don't know exactly what 'OP' means, but there are other ways to do ML in for example C++. I have some good experience with dlib, PyTorch's libtorch is on my todo list.
I guess I was more interested in channels that aren't visible to google analytics (i.e. anything other than PPC?)

how about banner impressions that don't result in a click and aren't run by Google? What about views on guest posts or partner sites?

If your entire marketing strategy is SEO with clickthrough + PPC + on-site content, then, yeah, seems like GA should solve the problem. But if not? Sample size of me: lots of people do marketing activities outside the Google ecosystem.
You're right - it doesn't magically solve build reproducibility. Bazel pushes you towards a build configuration where you have to describe (in a terse way) the entire dependency graph of what is being built. It allows Bazel to be smart about where in the graph things are stale.

If you run a script that outputs intermediate files, Bazel needs to know about that scripts inputs and outputs. And it works better if it knows them ahead of time.

Those are two very different processes.
The first part is absolutely true, the second line sounds like something directly from Peter Thiel.

While there's wisdom in his idea of finding green pastures and being a pioneer, its actually not the best way to become a billionaire. Picking the right industry is a far better strategy.

If you look, something like 25% of newly minted billionaires made it there via investments (i.e. finance) while another large chunk got there via real estate. Neither of which requires much in the way of being a trail blazer, just hard work and competence.
So you not try KDE >= 4.4 ?

I can understand why you wouldn't like initial versions of KDE 4 , but since 4.4 has become one of the best desktops that anyone could use.
I've been in the hobby for almost 2 years, and my impression is very nearly the opposite of yours. I think the danger of hobby-grade quads is almost universally overstated. They're dangerous, but not significantly more dangerous than kids playing baseball, and certainly nowhere near as dangerous as an automobile. I think your fears are unfounded.
I see some references to years as far as 2014, including a list of books published from 2000 to 2012... so I'm wondering about the 2001 on the title(?)

You described Supply Chains pretty well, I think!

Super happy to see Coyote publicly released. Our team within Azure has used it on a number of services and cannot say enough good things about it. It has allowed us to develop code knowing that safety and liveness violations due to subtle race conditions are caught in testing and design time instead of production! For folks familiar with software verification tools, you might know the project as P#. Coyote is an evolution of P# and adds support for testing task-based programming (.NET's TPL framework) in addition to the state-machine based actor programming model.
There's a rather big difference between breaking things in a test & learning environment (all of the examples you provided) and breaking things in a production release.
Once you have asked enough people what stars are, and if they are closer than the moon, you will become disappointed with the state of local education, and lose enthusiasm for this sort of activity.
Scott explains the current state, the problems, and the possible solutions of the copyright laws really well. This definitely gives me a new perspective behind all those "copyright claim" headline news.
> It is 110% not good to have any major corporation go into a technical default.

Too big to fail, eh? If that were true, there is no point having technical bailout as a possible state for companies to be in. Just remove it as a legal option and given them a permanent exception from having to do anything if the situation arises.

The justification is flimsy. If the businesses were any good they wouldn't need a bailout. They'd get new owners ad carry on as before. Capitalists are perfectly capable of putting an operation on ice for a few months for all that it would be painful and disruptive. Businesses go bankrupt because they are bad businesses and the economy is signalling the resources should be redeployed.

I can agree that the bailouts are going to happen; but these bailouts have been set in stone since 2008. Once 'give money to the wealthy and powerful to preserve the status quo' was identified as an acceptable solution it was going to become the default solution to any and all crisises. Someone could have come up with a better plan in the last 10 years but there was no incentive to.

Well, in this simple example it is trivial to do the same by wrapping statements in a closure, but it's a bit more nuanced than that. But you still can't assign a for-loop as a value to a variable, for example (to exaggerate a little).

This becomes more apparent when using monads for non-IO applications like parsing. It's difficult (but not impossible, of course) to implement things like backtracking or non-determinism by writing lots of closures in an imperative programming language, they don't compose as nicely. There are parser combinator libraries (similar to Parsec) done in other languages of course, but some of them even implement monads in the language they work in. I recall seeing "class Monad" written in Python, I think it was in the pyparsec library.
You’re just rephrasing the original question. Ok so why would someone design a tool that takes screenshots if tiny blurbs of text? It truly boggles the mind.
Buildings? No. Democratic process and elected leaders? Definitely.

You are trying to downplay this as if it was just some goons setting an empty Denny's on fire, but you know exactly what was happening and who was in that building at the time they broke into it.
Correct. Yes, I also wonder if anyone does this, for flex/hourly billing that is.
These hypothetical statements are just garbage. Demeaning other humans is wrong and nothing about it is “free.” The abused pays for that speech with their own identity.

Now, how we determine demeaning language and what the punishment/cost is for using it is a worthwhile discussion. We _already_ have a system for when someone’s _character_ is attacked publicly: libel/slander.

team lost, your dog died, you got passed over for a

FWIW, depression resulting from those sorts of events is typically termed "situational depression." Regarding everything else you said: totally on board. And I wish you and your wife lots of strength and luck.
We could replace fossil fuels even today everywhere (with enough capital investment) ... except air travel - we are 3 or 4 major breakthroughs away from that.

The article is pretty accurate. What I don't understand is this: In SC:BW, players responded to an inadequate Battle.net by moving competitive Internet play to private and emulated servers. It wouldn't have taken much effort to keep them on Battle.net -- just a few nice organizational and ranking features.

Obviously, Blizzard isn't a fan of this, since it bypasses their copy protection as well as being totally out of their control. That's why they removed LAN, why they go after emulation projects legally, and I naively thought it was part of the reason they were motivated to make Battle.net 2.0 better. I liked their initial statements about why LAN was gone, where they said things like "we want to make Battle.net so compelling that everyone will want to be on it for all their games." Right on!

However, it appears that now they've done exactly the opposite. Battle.net 2.0 appears so unusable for any form of community or competition that I guarantee an iCCup or bnetd equivalent will be up a year from now, and the whole "hardcore" scene will be using it, and anyone will be able to pirate SC2 and connect to it. Why would anyone want this? It's not a complicated chain of inference; whoever is in charge, I'm sure they can see this coming equally well. Who benefits?
I found this image with the different patters and distributions of the giraffe populations more interesting than the main question of the article.

The difference is that Groupon is many times easier to execute than any of those.
Groupon has lots of debt, just not the long-term kind. Why is having debt due sooner somehow better? For reference check out this http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/viewer?action=view&cik=1490281&ac... their current assets and current liabilities are about the same, with cash and what they owe their merchants about the same too.

That said, I always teach Groupon as the quintessential example of the power of having a negative payables cycle. They don't deserve any laughter for the growth engine they created; whether the business itself is sustainable is still an open question, but I'd say the same thing about GM so that comment doesn't really count as derision.
That's most likely because you're 'late to the party'. I was lucky enough to be born just when all this stuff got underway so I saw it progress bit-by-bit in slow motion and over 3.5 decades I could absorb the changes. If you're dumped in on the deep end in 2015 or so then it can be a bit overwhelming, but keep the faith, it will all clear up in the longer term and you'll be so much better positioned to actually achieve something. Higher level stuff really is higher level, you get more done with less writing (even if that comes at a price in the form of a loss of contact with the lower layers).
Things like company culture and focus on either shipping products fast to get as much cash as quickly as possible vs building quality products definitely comes from the top management. But this support needs to be something more than empty phrases in come corporate emails. Same principles as say in software development.

If middle managers and top engineers see that there is no reward in doing things right and taking time, in fact its shooting one's foot, then most folks +-align with this policy and move on. At the end almost everybody is in for the paycheck.
Mind pointing out where? I asked a pretty simple question and got answers insinuating I said things I didn’t. Of course we all enjoy things for different reasons. I don’t insist on anything. People are free to disagree on whatever and have their own stance. If people like Advent of Code, that’s great. I have looked into it before, and it’s not for me. And I was also simply curious why Norvig seems to like Python so much. He either likes it or it’s convenient as a marketing tool or both (i.e., it fits all his needs). None of those are bad or wrong or whatever.
It only changes semantics of Scheme programs that are recursive in appearance. In non-recursive Scheme functions (those that don't loop and are not mutually recursive), it's merely an optimization, just as it is in C.

Edit: Added mutual recursion explicitly.
ok, tbh I don't delete chats, so never noticed this
