It's really quite simple: some novels have writing you want to savor, and you read them slowly, and some novels you just want to extract the plot out of, from fairly mediocre writing.

For example, I really wasn't a huge fan of GRR Martin's writing or story, but I wanted to be on top of the plot of SoIaF, so I blazed through the thing. I got a few details wrong, such as someone being a cousin instead of an uncle maybe, but I was ready to discussed tons of specific aspects of the writing as well (like how he calls Brienne ugly ~every. single. time.~ she comes up).
This is completely ignorant. The federal government is an issuer of currency and therefore has infinite amounts of money . We are no longer on the gold standard where money was limited by gold reserves. Making and repeating these kind of FUD statements which reinforce a false analogy that federal budgets are like household budgets is keeping many bad politicians in business .
That living in dense, crowded urban environments promotes creativity is one of the biggest myths being pushed on us. I learned this first hand.
The Future: A Cat Litter Box and DRM
I've been experimenting with developing homebrew with this system as it's me and my band's personal favourite.

As for the second SH2, by reading the official SEGA documentation, you can clearly see there's some genuinely awesome functionality in there, that, if used, could definitely offset a whole bunch of tasks in simple ways, such as rendering and managing 3D objects, and a whole bunch of other neat stuff.

I imagine this is how Sonic Team managed to pull off NiGHTS Into Dreams..., Burning Rangers, and whatever have you.

This is all well and awesome from a programmer's perspective, but I can't imagine, with low sales figures and a high initial-level learning curve, it would've been financially feasible to produce high-quality titles for the platform that utilized these features.
"A post IOC F-35C had its wings fall off”

Stop making things up. The C variant won't be declared operationally capable for at least another year, probably two. No C model " had its wings fall off". A test aircraft undergoing lifetime fatigue testing in a loads fixture had some wing spar cracks. I don't mean to dismiss that issue, because it is serious, but that's hardly having the wings fall off.
Still had to search on Google to check how much $40M is in my currency.
Thanks for sharing this, been planning to get into Machine learning this year.
Oh, yes I mixed hat up. It was Sun Microsystems.

SuSE/Novell had a license deal with Microsoft. MS sold SuSE Linux and Novell added improved Office format and VBA compatibility to their OpenOffice fork.

IBM forked OpenOffice for their Lotus suite. IBM Lotus Symphony.
The writers arguing for this (not me, I don't have experience or expertise to have an opinion) say that cheaper airframes are more effective because of slower stall speed, ability to operate at lower altitude, and greater fuel stamina, all of which translate to better loiter characteristics.

Also have heard that ground commanders hate the high-altitude planes for CAS because they're less likely to correctly discriminate the situtation on the ground before unloading.

To your point -- yes, we don't operate AC208; I think iraq is the only one who does. (And if the sight of a hellfire stapled to the wing of a small turbopro doesn't make you want to run and hide, I don't know what will). But we also don't operate the F-35 in the CAS mission. neither plane is a good example of a CAS plane.
Why would it be? ICE-40 has a port of a RISC-V CPU. I couldn't see anything that would indicate it was an April Fool's joke, aside from the date.

As someone who uses Todoist for personal tasks, Asana at work, and Basecamp for those clients who haven't migrate to Asana yet ... yes.

From a pragmatic perspective, I'm not sure this can gain traction. The mail exchange protocol was built in a very different environment, and you'd have to get some serious weight behind this to gain much traction.
As with many things you will get out what you put in.
The communist Kurds who blame the US for all of their problems but still cry for air support? Or the Europan Kurds who are angry the US invaded iraq because their white Socialist overlords concvinced them it was bad even though it was beneficial for majority of the Kurds who didn't have the luxury of living in welfare states outside of Iraq.

Point being Kurds aren't homogenous, you can't work with that. Though I suspect you mean KRG, that might work, still on the verge there.

The problem with fixed terms is that there's really two classes of copyrighted things: junk and treasure. The opposition in this debate is obsessed with treasure. They love the rare, valuable IPs that retain relevance for decades. A scheme that still assigns long copyright terms to treasure is much easier to pass. Then at least the junk can have short copyright terms. That might seem pointless, but the fact is that there's a lot more junk than treasure in the world. And, just because the copyright holder didn't value it doesn't mean it's useless. After all, one man's junk is another man's treasure.
I read this article at 450 words per minute using Readline, a speed reading extension like spritz. 450 wpm is not a lot, and it's enough to process most of the text. But it's faster than my default reading speed, and it also makes reading feel more gentle and passive.

When I read articles without it (which I do most of the time) I read a bit slower. I get distracted much more often. My mind wanders. It feels a bit more like work to make myself read the next sentence.

For the same reason I prefer audio books to written books, and lectures to textbooks (although I prefer to listen to both at a sped up rate.)

The density of the text matters more than anything. You can not speed read a math textbook at even normal reading speed. You can read a very light or uninteresting article at 200 wpm above normal. I can listen to some audio at 2x speed, but sometimes I slow it down to make sure I have time to process everything.
Great idea. But only one photo leads me to believe this is an MVP and you don't actually own the bus yet. Curious to see how it goes.
Gold, silver or copper are used in electronic devices as a conductor. Your device should have one as well, whether in gold or silver, depends on the makers. But the quantity of the metal used might not be as much as you are thinking.
Gold is found on printed circuit boards and components, typically used to electroplate connectors, so that they won't fail due to corrosion.
Totally agree. In my view, if nobody is thinking about it then nobody is implementing it.
I love that it's by episode and not the entire show.

While I don't know that I'd be a regular user or start discussions (I usually listen to episodes weeks after they come out), it's a cool tool for episode discovery.
In the case of Date Lab, it's more likely this is because the writer knew the outcome so she will slant the piece from the beginning. She will only add material that advances the thesis--which is that they belong together or they don't.

The idea is great. Perhaps, however, it is too ambitious.

Maybe this could start as a thinner protocol, with adaptors to turn Todoist, Asana, Trello and Basecamp into clients.
"Arbitrary" is probably more consistent with the mathematical rigor some people might expect. On the other hand, little in computing is random rather than pseudo-random.
The tactical decision is going to consider a value pretty close to the cost of the plane and pilot though. The logistics chain can support a new plane and pilot.

I agree. There are a lot of thing that are important, it's not only a simple UI.

On important part is the moderation to keep the discussion civil and measures against spam and voting rings. This is invisible and sometimes difficult to spot, most people just notice only the good quality of the discussion.

Another important point is the community. It's important to attract and keep a good and wide community. For most topics, you'll find here one or two experts that can comment to counter balance the hype of the article and answer the unclear details. Sometimes the comments are better than the article.
I taught javascript to an older person once, and I think for-loops are one of those things that people who studied programming think "are not so bad", but it's absolutely senseless and insane to outsiders.

I'm thinking

var output = [];
for (var i=0; i<listOfThings.length; i++) {
var thing = listOfThings[i];
var newThing = applyAction(thing);
output.push(newThing);
}

vs.

listOfThings.map(thing => applyAction(thing));

and even that is a little bit iffy.
There's an assumption here that meaning or understanding is discrete and limited but the reality is that there is an unlimited depth of meaning in any text. So a claim that a reader has captured the meaning has to include "for the purposes of X". Certainly it isn't captured for the purposes of most media reviews. Just read the initial professional reviews for any book that you know and love.
We electrocute people to death, or sometimes inject them with various poisons. Doesn't seem too materially different in that regard.

I've not read the book, only a summary a article[1]. The article includes short descriptions of his groupings. Here is Yankeedom:

Founded by Puritans, residents in Northeastern states and the industrial Midwest tend to be more comfortable with government regulation. They value education and the common good more than other regions.

That fits Minneapolis to me, but maybe not so much the rest of the upper midwest, and not even all of (rural) Minnesota. I think it's less about culture and more about community spirit and civic-mindedness. For example, in the recent NYT map of "Life expectancy of 40-year-olds with household incomes below $28,000,
adjusted for race"[2], Minnesota and the northeast look fairly similar (along with Washington and Oregon). Or look at Presidental election results.

Wisconsin used to fit this, but is drifting apart from Minnesota, as discuss in this piece[3].

Very cool idea. I often struggle to think of a podcast when I really need one.

One of the challenges here is that, apparently, podcasts don't have very descriptive names. Maybe it's because HN has the same regular topics floating through, but I feel like I get a lot more of a preview from titles on HN than I do by things like...

"The Archers"

"Hello Internet #60: The Beautiful Game"

"Harmontown"

I suppose there's an expectation that podcasts don't need explanatory names because, well, they're not always about a specific thing and because they're expecting regular listeners to tune in. Perhaps find a way to automatically include the description of the podcast itself and/or encourage users to do the same manually?
Hehe, I remember those things being advertised I think.

I wanted one. But wr already had a megadrive II and the MegaCD II, and a better PC...
Kansas isn't a great example for this. Why was I-70 routed eight miles south of Manhattan? (You'll really wonder why if you need fuel somewhere in the 60 miles between Topeka and Junction City.)

Depending on my origin and destination on either side of this state (it has been less common for one of those to have been in Kansas), I have used several other highways to cross it, and I haven't found them to be slower than I-70.
Jon, given your history at both Ars and Wired, I'm amused that your "limp along" plan is the (current) Ars model (some pay, some small amount in block the ads, most use an ad blocker and/or private browsing).

So what constitutes something better that you've seen remotely take hold? Google Contributor? Direct per-article micropayments? Events or sponsored research? (au revoir gigaom). I'm honestly curious.

It has been just 3 years since I got my internet connection. And thus I am aware of what it means to be disconnected. Our initial idea wasn't even remotely about AI. I just wanted to make something which could act as a backup network, something which people with no internet(we have quite a share of this type in my city) could also use.

You see, its not just about privacy. A decentralized network helps you connect to people around you. And about the AI part being difficult, well, good stuff is always difficult ;)
In the context of the article, my wife and I are being even more extreme - our kids are skipping all of it. We're unschooling.

Our oldest is seven, and shows a ton of potential. Instead of trying to sit her down every day and "teach", we literally just gave her a pile of books and told her to have fun. Two or three days a week she tends to sit down while her younger sister is napping for the sole purpose of learning. That's usually math, but it could be anything. She's starting to take on small projects of her own design as well, which is exciting.

For example: we were out walking on a popular trail last week, and she emptied her water bottle. She decided it would be a good idea to sell water and snacks on the trail. Without input at all from us, when we got home she started listing out all the things shed need to set up a mobile food cart of sorts, with cold drinks and snacks. Then she shared it with me and we worked together to polish the idea a bit - I suggested she use a wagon instead of a stroller, and limit herself to bottles of water and prepackaged trail mix.

She will probably see that particular project through to completion, break about even on it, and move on to something else. She did that in the past with a lemonade stand at our apartment complex.

As for her progress, her math skills are significantly ahead of her peers. Her reading ability is something I think needs improvement, but we test her twice a year and they show that she's at parity with her public-schooled peers. She's picked up reading very quickly in the past 2-3 months though, and I'm very interested to see how she places this time around.

So, yeah, skipping high school doesn't sound all that crazy to me. What the author calls "smart kids" - which are in reality intelligent kids with the advantages of a good familial support system - can make much better use of their time than sitting in a classroom waiting for the bell to ring.
Great idea! What about allowing us to login with our existing HN accounts or perhaps Google accounts, etc. in addition to creating a new account?
Doesn't match.com do this? At least in major cities they have their "spin" initiative.

I went to one that was hosted at the TechStop in SF. Sadly the guys running it were extremely attractive and given they were "in-charge" and leading the classes pretty much made all the women swoon.

Another one I went to was party games based. It was early in their event system so there were some rough spots but it was still fun. Another was just a meetup at a bar. I think I prefer organized activities.

The hardest part is getting enough people that are likely to be a match. If 100 people come 50/50 men women there's some chance there might be someone you're interested in. If 15 people come the odds are pretty low .

> "Why is it bad if people leave tech mid career?"

It's known that gender diversity improves organisational performance and competitiveness. Diverse teams improve ROI, increase innovation and solve problems better. Still only 25% of the IT workforce are women, and over 40% of them leave tech mid-career. We think people who build technology should represent the people who use it. There is a lack of talent in STEM, so in addition to attracting new talent, we need to find ways to keep more of the current talent, to build the future of technology. A career in tech can be very rewarding if you find the right company and job.

StarOffice up to v5.2 was amazingly feature full and feature complete. Newer StarOffice and OpenOffice/LibreOffice forks lost some functionality and contain incremental improvements.

One thing I am curious about is can an average guy even have a chance with something like Tinder? From what I have seen from people using the app, men tend to swipe any woman who is not very unattractive. This implies that, whoever woman swipe right will give a match with a very high probability.

If I am not wrong, women can be very selective in who they want while same is not the case with men.

How are being beheaded or executed with lethal injection different? They are one of the few states that retain the right to kill their own people left today, among the US, Japan, Iran, Belarus, China, etc. Further, Saudi Arabia is a kingdom, not a nation. Its political system was installed by the occidentals after WWI.

For women, yes, they have less rights de jure, but de facto, we don't know that very well. After all, different people have different cultures, and if we do not respect that, where is the demos in democracy then?
What makes that the best thing? All available evidence suggests it is not a relevant thing at all, since home schooled children are indistinguishable in social skills to regular schooled children. The forced social experience of a typical school is very artificial, and does not apply well to many other social settings. The only real similar setting is prison. Unless the goal of school is to prepare children for the social experience of prison, I don't see how that could be the best thing about it.

> Except if we're talking about Grisham/Crichton/Dan Brown etc "novels".

Whilst these authors may not be literary greats (though not sure why you lump Crichton in with Brown), isn't it important that people are reading something, even if it is The Davinci Code or The Firm? Even if these are throwaway novels, readers are improving their comprehension, spelling and vocabulary skills (especially if these books are in english and english is not your first language). That's surely better than lazing in front the the telly watching reality TV shows.
That is not how the system works for in example Australia. What happens is the votes for the lowest ranked candidate are given to all the second choice candidates and the process repeated until you get a candidate with 50% of the vote. There is no way that placing your preferred candidate first can ever result in your vote not being given in the order you choose. If you prefer candidate X above candidate y then candidate y will never get your vote unless X is eliminated.
