No Google did not. I just looked.

Not only does 'Palestine' appear on the map, there are multiple border lines drawn, representing the various assorted claims, counter-claims and disputes in the area.

And the cherry on the icing is that the first picture shown in the map is of the Al-Aqusa mosque in Jerusalem, which is still technically administered by Jordan who historically held the territory, so is arguably Jordanian (through historic domain), Israeli (current domain), Palestinian (through their current claim) and international by the UN intention in 1948.

I don't understand the obsession by some to bring HN into disputes like Israel/Palestine through citing some tangential technology connection.

I think articles like this should have to be moderated before they are allowed on and then only when they show a strong technology basis and are relevant. HN is not your facebook wall - use your facebook account for this sort of nonsense.
Yes, let's make all our technologies as "fat" as possible so other people can't "capture" and "re-aggregate" our "value". The VC-oriented approach to protocol design!

What’s significant about this dynamic is the effect it has on how value is distributed along the stack: the market cap of the protocol always grows faster than the combined value of the applications built on top, since the success of the application layer drives further speculation at the protocol layer.

That also goes the other way: failure at the application level can bring the token value down as speculators sell, and a lowering token value affects all applications.
I would love to hear the story if you have the inclination to go into details.
very cool stuff.. i can totally imagine sharing this with my sibling who's trying to learn what data structures are and what they really do. I really hope more data structures find their way into this interactive tutorial. Would love to contribute if you're open to that idea.
With replacement of consumable parts (mostly batteries), I would not be surprised to see current phones in use for 10+ years.

Just like desktop computers they will reach a point where, for most people, they're 'good enough', even if they're really slow.

For some people, particularly the elderly, the young, and the poor, they'll use it until it literally stops working at all because they literally cannot afford otherwise.

Cell phones are a literal lifeline device, to the point that emergency calls (at least in the US, and probably in any civilized part of the planet) //WILL// always work; without unlocking the phone, without the phone being on a payment plan, as long as the device has the power to transmit that distress need.

It is not difficult to imagine how issues with the security portion of the layer could allow anything from a computer virus to DDoS local infrastructure (jamming), to targeting specific individuals (lock out their ability to call for help, bug and track movement), to picking out individuals that are alone and in vulnerable moments. Those are attacks I thought of just typing this comment and are not an exhaustive list.

This is why the security updates either must be performed by the companies in question through the actual use lifetime of the device: not just by it's first owner, but all the way through to it's last. Or failing that, they should be required to both release the sources and provide everything necessary in a legal sense for other entities in the community to perform the security updates they are unwilling to do. Carriers should also be liable for failing to (offer to) distribute said security updates to devices on their network (it is in the interest of everyone that they do this and do not charge for it).
I am not a Sisyphean (someone aiming to create more work and 'full employment), but encouraging people to stay out of the labor force for 5 years has collateral impacts, such as depriving them of potentially valuable experience.
Er what? You're kidding right? "Don't do anything yourself in case you break something"?

It's exactly this mentality that companies bank on to keep you replacing worthless crap with more worthless crap. Get an instruction manual and a screwdriver and become a bit more self sufficient. Your future self will thank you for it.
Yes, you could.

Cheap credit allowed Americans to maintain their quality of life while wages continued to stagnate and their real purchasing power declined. Then the train rain out of steam.
A third naïve question: why not just use a functional subset of Scheme? It's got a well-defined syntax for key/value mappings, which is fast enough, funcalls, and you can use lazy evaluation if you use a pure subset of the language.

And in any rnrs complient Scheme, it's fairly trivial to make a strict functional dialect. And in Guile or Racket, it's even easier.

Unfortunately, Guix doesn't do this. Which meant Guix can't guarantee referential transparency. Although if the packager is an ANY WAY competant, it will be maintained.
Both are political questions. "Political power" and "effectively exerting control of people, including in a particular territory" are tightly-bound concepts.

But they are different political questions, and it is important not to confuse the two.
None of that sounds implausible to me.

• Plasma is opaque to electromagnetic radiation (including microwaves), it could totally be trapped: https://www.reddit.com/r/askscience/comments/26jxu6/why_is_p...

• Beta radiation (electrons) are known for passing through several millimeters of aluminum (³²P beta radiation penetrates to a depth of 3/8th of an inch or 9.5mm): http://www.alpharubicon.com/basicnbc/RadiationPenetration.ht...

Besides, radiation penetration isn't discrete, it's an exponential falloff; even if only 0.1% makes it through a particular sheet of aluminum, well, one thousandth of a lightning strike is still a serious amount of radiation.

• If you've ever sat in front of a CRT TV or computer monitor, electrons were accelerated to relativistic speeds right at your face in the span of a foot or so, about 1/3 c: https://au.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=201011010306...

Maybe 1/3 c doesn't count as "high relativistic" in your book, but clouds are huge compared to CRT monitors, any free electrons would be in much stronger electric fields and would be accelerating over much greater distances.

Well, it's innovation along a different dimension. There's been a massive amount of progress in terms of bringing computing to the consumer since 1995 - just compare the user interface of an ATM to that of a mobile app. There's been a concurrent slide backward in attributes like performance, reliability, and especially security. The market seems to reward ubiquity more than any other dimension right now, and you get products to match.

Much of the complexity in often-derided web & mobile app development comes from supporting features - like the back button, direct linking, social interactions, real-time response, and no-install usage - that directly benefit ubiquity, but come with penalties on performance/reliability/security/etc.

Also cutting cable cord doesn't really save you that much. In most cases you still need to buy internet access from your cable company which is hardly cheap.

If cable cutting becomes more widespread I expect cable companies to offer "discounted" cable channels with their Internet:

It's either $100/mo for 10mbps Internet + HBO or $99 for 10mbps Internet alone. HBO has been discounted to $1/month. What a great deal!
Which is fine if you're going to job security or trying to extract funding for the duration of your career, but being first to publicly publish proof of ownership and work done is a pretty surefire way to claim credit.

So? If they indicate a problem or potential problem, they should be fixed in the software. The fact that there is a "warning" message means that someone, somewhere thought it serious enough to write home about. If they don't indicate a potential problem, then why even print them?

Think about how you're supposed to treat compiler warnings: You don't ignore them--they are there for a reason. Quite the opposite--you should use your compiler to treat warnings as errors, enforcing good development practice from the start.

The grandparent's comment was about the surprise and concern you feel when you see all of these warnings yet things still evidently "work". When I sit down to a new project, pull down the latest code, start to work with it and see thousands of compile-time and run-time warning messages, the alarm bells start going off in my brain: This project is barely held together.

You just look at your downvotes and you make some pretty ridiculous assumptions about the people who disagree with you - that anyone who disagrees with you is an idiot who didn't understand who the hero of the book was.

I'm not making an assumption that anybody is an idiot. What I am doing is suggesting a measure of ideological bias on the behalf of those people... that is, the people who see Toohey as the hero of the story because they share that ideological outlook. Of course I might be wrong to say that, but I'm not calling anyone's intelligence into question, or comparing it to my own.

If you expect to be taken seriously in discourse, you would do well to be mindful of how you present your views.

Of course, that's pretty much a tautology. That said, there are times when one doesn't care whether the others take you seriously or not.

Intersection Types: Java Generics’ most underused feature
This describes well how I use Mathematica. I would also add that compared to Matlab you pay for single license and get whole thing. With Matlab you send list of toolboxes to a manager and got asked "Do you really need symbolic toolbox?" With tools maturing there is a push to use Python for prototyping, but the experience is still not as seamless as with Mathematica.

That being said, from my experience Mathematica is best for prototyping or research. Once you know what you are doing it makes sense to redo everything in C/C++ (or your other favorite static typing language) for production or client use.
In case anyone was wondering, from https://help.hulu.com/articles/52427902#list

"In response to feedback from our viewers, we started offering a commercial free experience on Hulu. For a small number of shows, however, we have not obtained the rights to stream commercial free and they are not included in our No Commercials plan. You can still easily access these shows with a short commercial before and after each episode with no interruptions during the episode. Specific shows that still have commercials accessible through the No Commercials plan will be noted throughout the signup, switching and playback experience. While the list of shows may change, they are currently: Grey’s Anatomy, Once Upon a Time, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Scandal, Grimm, New Girl, and How To Get Away With Murder."

It's seven shows, and even on those the ads are only at the beginning and end they don't interrupt the show. I say we cut them some slack.
I don't believe parent is saying updates come from Play, just that actually getting the approval to ship Play on your Android device requires signing an agreement with Google. That agreement provides the leverage that Google would need to enforce any policy of "updates for x years".
Seems to be unregular then: I see the borders, but I can't get the name to show up. Not unlikely that they have different views for different users/parts of the world.
The founder myth is that anything you can do you should do, and admitting otherwise is weakness.

Been there. Self-destructive. Bad idea.
> Sure, and I do have to pay to get automated updates from them, but at least I know they are official. M:tier packages are not official but sort-of wink-wink-nudge-nudge. For a project living and dying on trust, it's a poor show.

Well that is because the official and ONLY supported way to patch an OpenBSD system is to compile from source. Like pretty much all of OpenBSD's documentation, the instructions to do so are very clear.

M:Tier provides a service that is merely a convenience. It is not essential and I would suspect that only a small fraction of OpenBSD users even make use of their openup script and binary package updates at all.

I suspect you are being purposely obtuse and cannot understand that the way in which your favorite $OS is not the only right way to do things.

The OpenBSD project has no obligation to provide binary updates. They provide source code patches and clear instructions of how to apply them. This is actually better for security because you can actually see what is being changed by the patch if you know a little bit about programming.
Ah, so it's a hand-wave of us somehow getting to a point where everyone was perfectly incentivized to automate everything (without price gouging in the case of monopolies) and pay enough taxes to cover the 12 trillion dollars to give 300 million people $40,000 anum? Last year the US brought in a bit over 3 trillion in tax receipts to put that in perspective.
Hah! I always thought their second counter counted down kind of slow. Glad to have it confirmed. For several reasons I dislike Hulu and I haven't used their service for a few years now.
I agree, it does take experience and backbone and even then it may not be enough. It's basically technical debt and unfortunately that's still something many organizations struggle with today.

While I think you're right about many things being objectively bad from a technical perspective there are a lot of decisions that aren't just technical. You may end up using the lesser of two options of the lesser one is more compatible with the expertise present in your organization. Sometimes it's not clear cut at all and only time and real world usage reveals the pitfalls. It's easy to point at that and say "that's stupid and this is terrible" a few months or years down the line. The hard part is trying to make those decisions.

Let's look at Puppet as an example. Let's say you have an organization that has a couple people out of a dozen that can write shell scripts that aren't spaghetti. But if everything depends on them they become a bottleneck. You know there's a bunch of halfway decent modules written out there for a lot of stuff you need and your two people can close the gap. The rest of the team can build knowledge and skill over time but can start putting modules together to build infrastructure today. So you can choose shell scripts and fixing your personnel/skill issues or you can choose Puppet and deal with the warts. Training or hiring new people would be obvious but given the reality of budget and politics at $bigcorp it's a no-go or you're looking at years of effort. Even if it's cut and dry technically it's really not always a simple decision.
I knew some folks in the 90's that prototyped in Shockwave. They did UI and animated uses cases. I was impressed by how quick people got their blob-type people animated use cases that were basically little cartoons. Seemed like way too much work, but I guess it worked for them.
Probably because mainstream distros like RHEL have third party tools available to verify that instances meet standards such as CIS. NixOS might be a great design, but that isn't going to matter to $InfoSecDepartment when they lack the ability to audit.

Edit: Just noticed the parent was comparing RHEL to Ubuntu, not NixOS, so now I'm not sure :).

I always thought low-level programmers (C, C++, assembly, etc.) cared more about minimal abstractions and minimizing dependencies. But it turns out it's the same story no matter what level of the stack you are on. Currently working on a project with 200+ requirements in requirements.txt and growing. Before anyone says microservices just realize that you have taken the same programmers that made this mess and shoveled the problem elsewhere. These people will find a way to introduce 100+ dependencies on other services.

This article is a bit better: http://www.inquisitr.com/3397451/google-maps-vanishes-palest...

"Google Maps will find it difficult to achieve objectivity no matter how it addresses the disappearance of Palestine. Of the 193 United Nations member states, 136, around 71 percent, recognize the state of Palestine. Notably absent from this list of supporters are the United States and most of Western Europe. However, until the UN Security Council votes to establish the nation of Palestine, the support from various UN members for Palestine is considered a recommendation, not statehood, according to the UN Charter."
Holy crap...

So I read your comment and strolled on over to Zoho, who I'd never heard of before. They have a lot of products...just wow. That's a lot of stuff.

It's just such a jumble. I find myself wanting to know more about what they have to offer but yet completely overwhelmed by everything that's there. Can anybody speak to the quality of these products? How well do they interact? Is Creator any good? It looks like a BPM offering that could fit for small businesses?
According to the news coverage I've read, those shows don't have "commercial breaks", they just have a single commercial at the beginning and end. Honestly, who cares? Just hit mute and sit quietly for 30 seconds.

I can't verify this for myself, because, although I'm a top-tier subscriber, I've never actually run across a Hulu commercial in the wild. Whichever shows those are, I guess I don't watch them.

There is no way earth microbes can destroy the Mars ecosystem since both will have the same microorganisms. It is unlikely that a Earth rock landing on Mars now will land somewhere productive, but in the past when Mars had surface water it was much more likely.

The really interesting thing is we know so little about the micro-organisms here on Earth that we would not even be able to tell if we find a new phylum of bacteria or archea on Mars if it was native or not.

That's incredible. I've worked on some very large python projects before, but 200? That's pure insanity. Can I ask what that project does? I just can't imagine a project where you'd need 200 libraries.

Recent breakthroughs in deep learning – Yann LeCun
Hey HN - Wanted to share what I've been working on.

It's a product called dscout Sprint - which is geared to help design teams get quick feedback outside their walls and hear from real users.

The key differentiator in Sprint is that each video response is really short. The truth is that in-person feedback is most often the most useful, but it's hard to scale. Video feedback is hard to use because you have to 1) watch it, and 2) edit it for anyone to view.

Videos on Sprint are short, which enables you to simply share a clip, and facilitate design conversations to help your team move forward.
cringes Well, I admit there are only a few things they don't have the full rights to, and they're shows I don't watch, but I still find this grating. They said "ad-free" and I pay for that. Not "almost ad-free".
I can't either. I'm surprised every day. The app is just another generic CRUD enterprise thing. I guess in that regard it's not bad at all. I've seen Java projects with way more requirements.

>the nix expression language is smaller and simpler than Scheme; it beats it at its own game!

It may have a smaller stdlib than scheme (but I doubt it). But it's very hard to be simpler than scheme semantically.

As for what I want from scheme that nix doesn't provide, a simple, regular, syntax that I already know is what I want. I understand that that doesn't apply to everybody.
