What Nest is doing is little different to Reader or the other products Google killed. Alphabet is the common link and is clearly OK with this behaviour.
By benchmarking them, like GeekBench does. And those benchmarks are the only thing interested parties rely on, not the marketed speeds.
Don't get me wrong, I think there's plenty to discuss on this topic, it's just that HN is not a good avenue for it.

First, threads always start as a blank slate, so by the time we get through the obvious arguments on both sides, it has already dropped off the front page and the discussion has died down. The next time, someone will again invariably argue that they can't watch stuff in their country, and someone will reply with one of the arguments I listed.

Secondly, since many people consider this topic poses important moral questions, downvotes will invariably be used to suppress valid but disagreeable opinions, and then we'll have more posts of people justly complaining that they've been unfairly downvoted, plus a few assholes playing victim.

HN is great for most discussions around technical and business matters, particularly regarding new developments; it's pretty shitty for serious discussion around social and political topics.
I can't get enough of it
I see, thanks.

It will never be as fast as Sublime. Not before a few years at least.
But you didn't quote anything
As far as Java is concerned, _still_ apples-to-oranges since Rust doesn't pervasively mallocate either.

Go would be an ok comparison. I suspect Go would come out on top, since it actually tries to avoid GCing things, whereas the Rust compiler wouldn't even be aware that there is a GC going on and wouldn't do any analysis.
I believe for the Crow tribe, it's 1/8 blood to enroll. If I had had children with my ex-wife, our kids would have been able to enroll, and I would have enrolled them. You're absolutely right, that there are some good benefits to being enrolled in a tribe.
Why would u want to carry so many things if you can have a cheap laptop that packs everything nicely?
Forever? No. But what is reasonable to you? 0 days? What if it's a home appliance I paid around $5,000 for, like my most recent furnace install? Also 0 days?
Still waiting for you to admit you were wrong. What's wrong with people like you who cannot admit they were wrong about something?

Another thing doing this for AVR etc development is PlatformIO: http://platformio.org

It also does builds and code uploads to boards and other things like library management.
Thank you for your contributions, NobleSir. I think out of all the cryptocurrencies, if there's one that will take real market share away from Bitcoin, it'll be Monero.
That is an understatement. Google maps satellite images are much, much higher resolution.
When I've read the title, the first image that popped into my head wasn't of an athlete or some CEO. It was the video of that Yale student screaming and swearing at a professor at the top of her voice. Viewing that kind of behavior as a status symbol explains a lot of things I've observed in the past couple of years.
I haven't used Mutt in ages, but I'll be installing it tonight. 90% of my mail is done in Outlook (work) or Mail.app (home). I feel like those 2 applications have more users than they probably deserve.
Thanks for pointing XDomain out to me.

XDomain certainly feels like a hack, but if you've done any serious work with CORS you'll probably realise CORS itself is just hacks upon hacks.

Bottom up: Create a suite of tests (you'll need them for development and verification anyway), measure the performance, tag it with a number based on how fast it finished. If more chips support the same set of instructions, talk to the company and release standardised tests which now everyone else will "need" to support.

Top down: It can copy bytes in memory at X MB/s, do AES at Y MB/s, generate RSA keys at Z/s, ...

> Each chip you make will have a different performance [...]

Sure. You can test them and if they benchmark below 95% of the expected numbers, throw them out (or split out and sell cheaper).
Why is this the case?
Bitcoin is a panopticon tool. That is why I use Monero instead.
I'm guessing you really didn't enjoy Guardians of the Galaxy then?
Hmmm....East Cambridge rates highly for 'curb appeal'. That's, uh, generous. I mean, I like it here, but, really.
I have a question: Does your passport have a number?

Just wondering. Thanks for the cool info.
Do not trust the butt. Do not trust the butt. Do not trust the butt.

If you didn't build it and you don't know where it is, it could go away at any time for any reason and you will have zero recourse.

DO NOT. TRUST. THE BUTT.
Yes. z.cash centralizes control under a corporation, which makes it vulnerable to legal process and political risk, and it is what is known in the crypto world as a "pre-mine scam".
If you can self service the battery, then you can obviously remove it, and with no source of power there should be no real risk of electrocution
JS DRM is not DRM, full stop. The entire point is the black box. Without that you are always one greasemonkey script away from having a full-stream ripper for the casual user.

Yes, there is always the analog loophole, so ultimately all DRM is a best effort, but any JS implementation is at best 1% of current DRM implementations, it is no better than clear key encryption regardless of what obfuscation you put around it.

I really don't understand the point of the hand-wringing over EME. Before EME the only option for DRM was full-blown plugins, EME is much better for the open web than the dictatorship of Flash or Silverlight. As far as I can tell, technical activists are hoping to somehow put pressure on big content by refusing EME, but having spent the last 8 years building a streaming company, I can tell the EFF and everyone else that their advocacy has exactly zero weight with any content rightsholders. Big content will never capitulate to the abstract desires of the free software crowd because they hold the nuts. You either play ball with their demands or you don't get the content. Yes piracy will never go away, but it's illegal, so they will just continue playing whackamole for anything that approaches a good UX and pushing their DRM agenda on the rest of the industry.

Opposing EME is just a pointless skirmish over an implementation detail which overall is a huge net win for open web standards. Being absolutist about it just means everyone is going to have some shitty plugin, and they will have some shitty plugin because people want the studio content.

And as stupid and pointless as DRM is in the grand scheme of things, there is no principle I can think of that forbid people from building it. The Right Thing™ is that studios should be free to build DRM, and people should be free to hack it, there shouldn't be legal protections on either side. But for the free software community to refuse to make any integration points with DRM is just cutting off ones nose to spite ones face.
I have created literally thousands of reviews with git-review, and I have never once used it to create, switch or delete a branch.

When I clone a new repo, I run "git review -s" (for setup), which installs the commit hook that ensures I never need to give even a passing thought to Change-IDs.

Then I run "git review" to push changes to review. I never have to think about where I'm pushing them because it's all configured in the .gitreview file. I generally also keep all my changes in a single branch (although I also use Stacked Git to cut down on unnecessary dependencies, and because I like it a lot better than "git rebase -i" for many purposes).

That's it. I've heard there are other flags. I've never used them. Nobody is forcing you. But by all means carry on generating Change-IDs manually if you like.
and this is why certain 4x4 enthusiasts enjoy driving 25 year old diesel vehicles.

Hi! Thanks for linking this! We're hoping to add more robust features like dynamic membership soon! I'm graduating and will have more time.

How long until somebody in MA screen captures the entire Model S service manual and puts it up for public consumption as a torrent?
The US OBD/OBD-II standards came about in 1990s, when fuel injection was already a several decades old technology. Although, truthfully, it first became common around the 1980s.

Still, I am happy my 1974 Citroën DS 23 has fuel injection. Even if it means some extra difficulty getting to the cylinders and to the engine itself. But you are right, I am usually advised not to tinker with the fuel injection itself. Then again, on this model, people's experience is that there is usually no problem with the fuel injection anyway. And I have had no problems with it so far.
I could be mistaken, but I believe some of the higher res imagery is from airplanes.
Good. Maybe if the term is diluted to irrelevance it will lose its efficacy as a cudgel to garner support for the latest police state action-item-of-the-month.

Unlocking my front door? That has to work without internet access.

Turning my lights on and off? That has to work without internet access.

Logging my heart rate et all, ala fitbit? Nope, I should be able to use a server of my choosing, requiring that I use cloud servers for something I paid a one time fee for is an instant deal breaker.

A service that logged all of my access times and determined whether or not I was home based on the result? I would prefer that be run from my own server even optionally with a DNS hijack, but I would understand the need for the cloud in this situation.
Good guess; EDT here/Boston. :) You too!
No. Well, yes, but we're both nerds, just on opposite ends of this particular debate.
It would require an enterprise cert or Laptop/PC to bootstrap, but theoretically you could build an on-device store. I'm still waiting for someone to build this:

It's a valid point, but I personally wouldn't want to build a business build on spamming.
Go buy any vacuum cleaner from Neato, cost: $300-$500. Give it a LIDAR-ectomy and also save the nice battery pack. Toss the vacuum parts. Now you have a nice LIDAR with a well-known interface protocol (thy friend is Google). This is the cheapest good LIDAR around. 360 data points, 5Hz scanning, 1 degree resolution, 5m indoor range, 2+ meters outdoors if you provide a sunshade. Or, if you like the Neato base, use the USB protocol and Neato ROS node to drive the unmodified vacuum around.

The Neato LIDAR is a structured-light Laser Distance Scanner (LDS), accuracy about 1-2cm depending on distance. Resolution 1mm. Minimum sensing distance about 20cm, IIRC.
I'm not sure you followed what I just wrote. I'm implying that De Goes seems to have done everything he possibly could have to synthesize drama out of this decision short of (just barely, at the point) actually endorsing Yarvin's Moldbug posts.
To the author: those code snippets would be 10x more readable if you got rid of the useless "admin@aws-eu-west-1-portal:compose (session 1)" preceding each input line.
That's bullshit. Tight margins plus physics (aerodynamics and safety) plus minimum fuel standards with lower SUV standards yield "crossover" vehicles that look the same. If we could still buy station wagons, we would; they died out with higher fuel efficiency standards, but by now they'd all look pretty similar too.

That Chevy Volt concept is awful. The actual car is tremendously improved; the blind spot of the concept could obscure the Sun it's so large and that's just one obvious failing. There's a reason you don't see weird shit: cars now are really good, so variances are most likely worse.

Last rant: the New Beetle. Same cost and size as the VW sedan, but less room inside, because the design is space-inefficient and a gimmick.
Cornered raccoons fight with a ferocity that most other animals, especially domesticated pets, learn to respect after only one encounter...if they survive the encounter...

It's not uncommon for them to blind or eviscerate house pets where I live....35 acres on a rural lake...

A dog/raccoon fight in water often results in the dog being drowned by the raccoon...

They can also transmit rabies and distemper...

If you value your dog I would highly recommend that you discourage encounters with raccoons...
Lot of cross platforming stuff in there.
I hope everybody here knows about BitcoinFog, Shared Send, and other mixers. And uses them for random transactions now and then to give the rest of us plausible deniability.
Less than you'd think; it was a non-standard gauge railroad that didn't go anywhere the Sa'udis cared about -- they needed railways connecting their ports to the interior, so spending the money on a Madinah to Jordan line didn't make sense. KSA has invested a massive amount of money on rail lines, but the north-south track is a recent development. Plus, Land Rovers don't care if you have to go over a few kilometers of damaged road, and fuel is unsurprisingly cheap. And if you don't want to drive, there's a lot of airports.
I wouldn't have such a grudge against fitbit if they would make it easier to log to your own server. Even if I had to hijack DNS to accomplish it, I wouldn't mind. Its not like many people would take advantage of the option.

But the fact that they force you to use their servers to store your data so that they can turn around and sell it, frankly I hope they get sued for something. Anything.

There should be a law against selling customer data without the expressed consent of the customer whos data is being sold, per purchase. Even if the company is acquired.

Yes, it's premined crap (well, not quite but it operates as such). But it's all open source and someone will fork it. The point is the crypto exists and it's from some quite reputable people so even as a premined shitcoin it may have a chance.
Is it really so simple that it was a password testing tool or was it maliciously and surreptitiously sweeping up naive readers' passwords ?
And how would that extra layer of management be good for shareholders?
i'd definitely love to talk to you. how can we get in touch?
Is there any government you would trust to keep your data from the NSA and similar organizations, though?
That's exactly what they did.
Fun! At least it sounds like they were nice about it.
The New York Post makes a faulty generalization based on the (alleged) activities of a single company to throw shade at one of the largest industries in our economy. For a publication that praises free market economics as much as it does, this seems like an ironic knee jerk reaction to have.

But hey, these are the same "journalists" who think all brown people with backpacks are terrorists [1] so we can't really expect much of them.

Unfortunately I don't see much material written in English at the moment.

To your technical question, I'm not that familiar with FoundationDB to comment, but I can tell the author's intent is building an open source solution for Spanner/F1. So I'd say TiKV/TiDB is really a drop-in replacement for Spanner/F1, not FoundationDB.

So in that case, I think the guarantees they want to meet include at least distributed transactions on a KV store(Spanner), and zero downtime SQL schema changes(F1).
That's horrible. But I can't help but think that the right response would be one swift strike to the nose of the person who spoke. Enough to break it and draw blood, ideally. Then, sit down at the table, calmly and sweetly say, "Does anyone else have a comment they'd like to make?"

I'd guess that answer would be a respectful silence. I'd also guess that you'd not hear that kind of thing again for a very long time.

Violence sucks in theory, but it does have it's uses.

EDIT: Lots of downvotes, so let me explain my reasoning. The only alternative to my suggestion is to rely on the goodwill and good sense of others, or reforms in that direction. In general, this is an unreliable approach. People don't have that much good will or good sense. Gamers are usually physically wimpy, and a quick establishment of boundaries in a memorable, dramatic fashion would protect the person for a long time.
I've been doing gpg and smime for many years; in the contrib/ folder in the dist tarball, you'll find a "gpg.rc" and "smime.rc". I don't think I've changed more than a couple of minor settings in those files; I just use muttrc's include directive and then override a couple of settings in my main muttrc.

With those settings gpg mail is very simple to do, and of course since its mutt its endlessly configurable if you need it.
Most mixers introduce points of centralization, which allow a party to steal your coins or allow them to break privacy.

JoinMarket is a good solution that works on Bitcoin today.

Monero is a good altcoin which will automatically mix your coins using crypto. I believe it is more powerful than JM but requires using an altcoin.

Zcash offers unmatched anonymity powered by fancy new crypto (less tested, less certainty on the security, but much more powerful). Still under development, but I'm guessing will be more ready in August.

Can you self-service the battery on an electric or hybrid car? I'd be mildly surprised if you could. (Of course, I never actually thought about the question before...)
People don't expect to be ripped off.

I've been watching one project since 2013. $500k raised, and they seem to have blown it on initial set-up and tooling.

The items are being sold through an "exclusive" deal with a famous online outlet, and most backers still haven't received anything.

I think that counts as outright fraud, and not just "becoming upset".

Some backers have been talking to the FTC, so we'll see what happens then.
That may be true, but when you start using something like Lambda, you don't immediately jump to "what 3rd party framework can I use to manage this". It's not clear what the weakness are until you experience it. In the end, we solve it with a few hundred lines of fabric and bash scripts but neither of those solutions make up for the blown opportunity of a better and more powerful UX. (Lambda PMs have been on here before and have said they're working on it.)
FWIW I know one of the guys behind the Scanse LIDAR. Pretty sharp guy. I saw a demo a few days ago at the Homebrew Robotics Club. Pretty decent specs, although the minimum distance using the current software is a little on the long side -- at least 1/2 meter IIRC. The max distance is huge. They say this is a true time-of-flight LIDAR. IMHO this is an interesting unit and I am confident enough that I put in a Kickstart pledge. One interesting point is that the RPM is independent of the point update rate, so you can trade off resolution agains full-360-scan update rate. I have enough confidence in the founders and what I saw to believe I will get a decent unit, perhaps with minimal, reasonable, schedule slip (this stuff is hard).
Yes Cameron answered all allegations regarding this in 2009 so it will make him look tough - storm in a teacup.

There is a lot more than that - just reading case filed to understand what the request is about is tough. There are many ways humans can be augmented by modest AI. SFDC has so many products within their various clouds where even modest, but accurate classification could be a gold mine.

Personally, I think we are fairly far away from fully conversant customer support that is fully automated, yet sounds human enough. Most people today do not yet like talking to machines.
There's really no good reason for this kind of behavior from Google. They have the infrastructure to continue to support old products and they don't do this every time they do an acqui-hire.

I recall years ago when I was a huge SageTV fanatic. They acqui-hired the company behind SageTV and integrated their product into Fiber (yet another reason for me to be jealous of Fiber). The products were immediately pulled from market but generally continued to function for years (I'm not sure how long since I abandoned the platform and went full-on cord-cutter), but last year they decided to fully open-source the code. Yeah, it would have been nice if it was done much sooner, but at least they gave enthusiasts of the platform an opportunity to pick up where the company left off after they were acquired and their core product was force-pivoted.

It seem to me that something similar could have been done here but they opted not to. That's unfortunate and it will play into my ever growing concerns about committing to any google product beyond search[1].

[1] I'm GMail and Android committed to but I'm not happy with the rapid, radical changes happening on that platform, either. Though they're unlikely to sunset the product any time soon, it appears to be evolving into something that's so different that I can no longer call it the same product I fell in love with years ago.
One of the characters is talking about John Galt in that roundabout way they have of talking about John Galt, and says that he's the man who climbed to the top of the mountain and discovered the fountain of youth, but when he tried to bring it back down, he found that it couldn't be brought back down, only climbed up to. Or something like that. That's why this quote reminded me of Atlas. Probably, they both cribbed it from Nietzsche.
You should toss your project on Baqqer, open up some attention and possibly get some pledges to help fund you finding more resources to grow your project.
no problem - these things are quite interesting to me.
I get that it's trying to be funny, but is it really no longer possible to create a website with a single arrow that doesn't have to pull down all this cruft ?
