They can't save much money on the DAC in the phone unless they also plan to drop the phone's speakers.

It's strange to me that some of the rumors try to spin this as a "cost savings" on the hardware in the phone. Removing the headphone jack wouldn't let them drop the DAC nor the set of amplifier circuits the speakers use because in order to be a "phone" it's presumed that it will still need speakers on the "phone".

Presuming that Apple continues to bundle in some form of earbuds with the iPhone after dropping the headphones jack it's essentially a net increase in DACs in the package (as I assume the speakers and headphone jack share a DAC currently; but I've not double checked an actual hardware breakdown). Quite the backwards direction for something rumors seem to be trying to spin as a "cost saving" measure.

Maybe it's all a conspiracy by Big DAC? ;)

[Bonus punchline: Big DAC is the name of the old school hip hop cover band I sponsor.]
401k plans typically consist of employee and employer matching contributions. But in any case, the things that stops you from fully accessing this money of your own free will are laws. Laws can be changed. I'm just wondering if today we're being as naive about 401k realities as people were about social security and pensions a generation, or two, ago.
As some others have stated, if the problem domain is well understood, choose a new language you have an interest in learning. If it is not, it is better to stick with a language you already know. If you add a new technology to a problem domain you do not understand, there is a higher probability that you will create errors and headaches for yourself.
No, it isn't. What a BS clickbait title because the ruling only applies in this specific case. It isn't applicable to all cases.

>Pseudoscience is a claim, belief, or practice presented as scientific, but which does not adhere to the scientific method. A field, practice, or body of knowledge can reasonably be called pseudoscientific when it is presented as consistent with the norms of scientific research, but it demonstrably fails to meet these norms

Science is not "if it works. It's science." You can be correct by change or by having right intuition. Science is systematic way to organize and build knowledge.
That wasn't a suicidal move; more of a "when you're cornered you have to fight or die" move.
This is absurd reasoning.

All the UK will be doing is following the treaties in place to end an existing agreement. That's not breaking a treaty - it is following it.
> RSA-4069? That's pretty damn hefty

This surprised me for a different reason: I was under the impression that effective security bit size does not scale linearly with bit lengths in RSA, and that key size would need to be 16,000-bits long for a comfortable safety margin (a size not practical and not supported by RSA).

Are there any practical reasons why one shouldn't use epileptic-curve based crypto?

I think you're underestimating the psychological aspect of Brexit. We Europeans feel betrayed and abandoned by the Brits. Especially since they always demanded and got special deals on everything EU-related anyway. Their arrogance will finally get to them. Plus we have access to another 27 countries so the loss will not be huge for us.
No matter when official negotiations start, trade and other collaboration will start declining immediately. I mean, why would I go on vacation to a place where I'm not welcome? Why would I do business with a country where risks are high and benefit low?
From an EU leadership perspective, in order to deter other potential exits the conditions will be harsh. After the exit UK will have to stand in the back of the line for new negotiations, lower priority than e.g. Turkey and Ukraine. Within 10 years or so things might have normalised but in the short term Britain will absolutely suffer because of this.

Interestingly, Radamsa is implemented in Scheme, then transpiled to C. Originally I played around with invoke Radamsa as a server (it's normal usage model), but this wasn't ideal because I wanted to use it at varying granularities, which would have meant multiple invocations per mutate/execute cycle. What I ended up doing was to take the compiled Scheme, get rid of all the syscalls, link it directly into the fuzzer program binary, and turn its `main` function into something I could call directly!
> Wales (who seem to have a better grasp on the costs of needing to balance the books alone).

Ahem. Wales is a net beneficiary of the EU to the tune of hundred of millions of pounds per year and they voted for Brexit. Something tells me the Tories in Westminster won't exactly be tripping over themselves to send a ton of more cash to the valleys with a potential economic downturn on the horizon due to Brexit.

What most people believe has no bearing on the truth; truth isn't a democracy, so your point lacks meaning. His point, was truth, you make your own meaning in this world.
> "In order to have a happy, meaningful life, you have to contribute to people who accept you and have those efforts reciprocated."

I'd say finding meaning is broader than that. "Life is what you make it" rings true for me. It's possible to live a fulfilling life as a hermit if that's what you prefer, it's not always about finding meaning through relationships with other humans.
> A lot of the Irish define themselves, historically, in terms of opposition to the British.

I think any opposition that existed was to British military _occupation_ and economic exploitation of Ireland, not opposition to the British per se.

In addition Irish identity is much richer and deeper than simply opposing something or someone. I recommend a brief dip into the rich literature and music of the island so that you don't make this embarrassing error again.
Since the UK and France are permanent U.N. security council members, that sounds rather hyperbolic.
My point was that I am very sensitive to few-cent differences in the price of gas, because when I first started driving, each penny difference was a 1% difference in the gas price. Now that gas is roughly triple that (here in sunny CA, at any rate), each penny is 1/3 of 1% difference. So in my case, I'm more (psychologically, if irrationally) open to paying a "convenience fee" than a surcharged gas price.
What's harmful is looking at someone in this kind of position primarily as a woman.

Compare the treatment of Holmes to that of Parker Conrad, the ousted Zenefits CEO. Conrad is a white guy who went to prestigious New York schools and then Harvard.

Is anyone saying that Conrad doing a bad job as a founder CEO will be harmful to white Harvard graduates everywhere? Of course not. You only "reflect badly" on your peer group if it's a minority.
Each exposure is 40 ms. The EPIC camera images at 317, 325, 340, 388, 443, 552, 680, 688, 764, and 779 nm. It transmits one photo of each spectral slice every hour.

I would guess that channels used for a composite color photo for human-eye viewing would be 443nm (blue), 552nm (green), and 688nm (red), but 680nm is also a visible color (red). The NASA article also implies that one red or the other is imaged first, and green is last, so they are not taken in ascending or descending wavelength order. It is also ambiguous as to whether each spectral slice is 30s apart, or whether it is 30s total timespan between the red and green slices.
How is that any different from social security though? Social security taxes are being taken out of every american's paycheck as we speak. Yet, anyone under the age of 40 or so has no illusions that social security will be solvent by their retirement age.

This has been discussed to no end in the past. When I published my paper, I did so in a venue that had open-access to all its proceedings (HotPower 12). However CODASPY where this paper comes from isn't one of those venues. ACM explicitly denies permission to host the papers elsewhere - From the paper:

Permission to make digital or hard copies of all or part of this work for personal or
classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed
for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation
on the first page. Copyrights for components of this work owned by others than the
author(s) must be honored. Abstracting with credit is permitted. To copy otherwise, or
republish, to post on servers or to redistribute to lists, requires prior specific permission
and/or a fee.

While we might question the ethics or morality of closed-access conference proceedings, it is definitely on the wrong side of legality. Much like patents are evil but can be defended/enforced by big corporations legally.

IMHO, professors and students who take public grants should publish only to open-access conferences and journals. If they do not do so, it does not justify illegally downloading the paper.

I'm not trying to villify selfishness, only address the criticism that usually follows this kind of statement. People look at any philosophy that says love yourself first and say it's just embelished selfishness, self-worship, narcisissm. They imagine it might lead to a Mad Max style dystopia of perpetual war.

There's a time for destroying and rebuilding things, but the kind of hostility that people usually associate with selfishness like corporations prioritizing short-term profits over the well-being of their workers is more a symptom of lack of long-term planning. What I'm saying is that it's possible to love yourself and serve yourself while still making things better for everyone without any kind of contradiction in motivation.

If I'm the richest person in the world and everyone else is fighting for survival, I still have to live in that world and suffer the consequences. If I contribute to my environment, I'm improving my own situation. There's no need to choose one or the other.

Actually, Vanguard is not less expensive. We use the same funds. You pay the same price for the funds in Guideline as you would if you bought them in a Vanguard plan. We don't make money on AUM, ever. We compete on being a full service 401(k) provider, that is not the case for Vanguard. You would still need all the third party services for fiduciary, compliance etc, and you would have very high startup costs and not to mention the lack of payroll integrations. And yes, we have super slick onboarding for employees and an 8 minute sign-up process for the business all without charging AUM based fees.

Really enjoyed this. I love how practical, humble, and respectful (even of religions, which I really appreciate) uncompromising nihilists tend to be. I happen to be a Christian, so I could go on all day about meaning, but if I could say one thing, it's this:

We all die, and it's more than likely even humanity will die out as well (even if it's at the heat death of the universe). You've pretty much rejected the possibility of true objective meaning, focusing instead on various ways of measuring subjective meaning. But at the end of the day, anything times zero is zero, which is fine if you're a nihilist, I guess. The focus in this framework is on you and your "meaning graph", but cool thing about knowing an ultimate God, is that he's a connection to your graph (both investing in your meaning, and pulling from your meaning via worship), that sticks in a way nothing else can. Christians believe that for folks who don't know Jesus, nihilism is essentially true; Romans 4:17 says, God "gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist." From what I can see, He's the only thing/idea/person that has the potential to provide any kind of objective meaning, so however delusional religion may appear (and I'll admit lots of it is deluded), there's only one God, and he is "the rock that is higher than I".
although i agree with you, the argument breaks down because (at least in the us) most people don't know how to cook, and most people don't know how to drive or know anything - literally nothing - about how a car actually works. there are entire states where it's even illegal to pump your own gas.

have you looked at what people buy, even at high end markets like whole foods? it's an endless sea of prepared and packaged food. it's how they make most of their profits. whole foods isn't even expensive for real ingredients.

competent well rounded people like that are in the tiny minority. i would guess 10% or less. the cross section of people who are capable of both like you or i and others on hn has got to be minuscule. in fact i would bet the anti-car pro-Soylent contingent is bigger.

I listen to music on the radio. I have 5 stations I switch between on my commute, and usually at least one is playing music. As soon as it goes to talking, I quickly thumb through (using a steering wheel control) to a new station. I never hit ads (several stations do long periods of continuous songs during my commute hours too which makes it easier).
My small company employer has offered Fidelity Keogh plans for years and now SEP IRAs. We get full brokerage window access, including low cost Fidelity mutual funds, commission-free low cost iShares ETFs, $7.95 commissions on all other stocks and ETFs, free Treasury auction and secondary market bond trades. I don't think it's costing the employer much of anything.

any EU citizen could travel to Ireland. Walk across the border, and hence enter UK without any checks.

Yes, but remember: Ireland is not part of the Schengen area. EU citizens (along with everyone else) go through border checks when entering Ireland from outside the common travel area.

That information may be shared with the UK as part of the common travel area agreement, so it doesn't make a difference whether someone enters the common travel area in Ireland or in the UK.

And of course, being allowed to enter a country (whether checked or not) does not necessarily mean you have the right to reside there and seek employment.
The rules for 401(k) will no doubt evolve over time, within the same legal / political protections and risks as anything else. Although I wouldn't be worried about outright appropriation, it's quite possible a modest tax could be introduced, then then rise over time - who knows what could happen over 30 or 50 years.

This, and the administrative overhead and inflexibility of 401(k) plans, 529 plans, health savings accounts, etc make me steer clear where practical. I use my employer's 401(k), contribute the amount needed to get the full match available, but that's it.

Beyond that, I'd rather pay my income tax up-front at the going rate instead of at some mystery future rate, and keep my savings and investments as unencumbered as possible.
And in some places AM. I often listen to AM sports talk radio for light hearted entertainment, and when a commercial comes on switch over to a Bloomberg stream.

Freedom is dangerous – And why I no longer pursue it
I still don't hear the voice of the working class in your response. Never the less, both the Tories and Labour fleeced the working class with the promise that they too could enjoy the prosperity the professional class would get to enjoy.

The problem with socialists with respect to the working class, is that they treat the working classes all as one. The native working class are subverted for the non native working class. They didn't work hard enough for their own working class. The English and Welsh working class want the UK government to work and care for them, then, when they meet that, they can work on their pan- European workin class... However, the UK working class were given the short shrift, and now they are demanding what was promised them. And, lead to what it may, there is satisfaction in having your hand on your destiny, because frankly, leaving it in the hands of others have left them holding the empty bag of promises.

Yes, I meant C.J. Date's "Introduction to SQL".

I was trying to get a link to the latest edition which appeared to be the 2nd link on an Amazon search for "Date introduction to SQL"... anyway, it is continuously edited so it's worth seeking the latest version which has twice as many pages as some of the earlier ones.
So by that definition, any new and untested-en-masse "thing" is "pseudoscience", with all the implied quackery baggage that term applies.
