Hey now, you're not giving the i3 enough credit. 114 miles and the another 100+ on gas. Until the Bolt comes out that puts BMW in second place for EV range, with a handy gas backup. I've seen plenty of crap compliance EVs and the i3 isn't one.
I guess you're talking, here, about identities that are at least in some way connected to the "public" social network. Identities that publish things on public websites, etc.

But if this isn't true—if, for example, you are someone who wants to get in contact with a terrorist group (maybe for an interview, maybe because you want to join them, etc.) then there's not much to do but to trust-on-first-use some channel that seems to be them, no? No public channel can possibly be vouched for as being "the real them", or that channel would have been chased up by the CIA. Which means that any/every channel might just be a honeypot from the CIA or whoever else, trying to either frustrate your efforts, or convert you into a double-agent.
This site talks about the problems of opioids for long term pain.

https://rcoa.ac.uk/faculty-of-pain-medicine/opioids-aware

The medical community tends not to talk about addiction, but tolerance.

People prescribed opiates for long term pain develop a tolerance for those opioids, and thus need more to get the same pain relief effect.

Those patients then end up on very high doses of multiple opiates (which is almost certainly causing them harm, and poses significant risk of suicide, or accidental death (of them or people around them)) and still in pain.

People with long term pain deserve better treatment - rapid access to pain management clinics; access to the wide variety of meds combined with psychological therapy and home adaptations. And, yes, opioids if those are the right choice.
There are some promising ins for that; but it would involve a lot of investment in software infrastructure and application developer outreach to get a new ISA to the masses. A good way to start would be to have Android running on RISC-V. Seems like it'll be some time still. ;-)
If you meant open source ARM chip designs, I don't think that would be possible given the patent constraints of the ISA. ARM would need to relinquish the (immensely profitable) legal monopoly they hold on their ISA features.
But without the space race, would those smartphones have GPS?

Without GPS, how practical would self driving cars be? Would the lack of GPS push self driving cars out another decade?
> It is not controversial to say that our moods affect the explanations we make up for things that happen in our lives. If we are in a good mood and someone smiles at us, we think they like us. If we are in a bad mood, we wonder if they have read some awkward code we just checked in, and if they are laughing at us.

It's not controversial to say that our moods can affect our interpretations and decisions, but it is (to me anyway) to make a blanket statement that moods always do effect interpretations and decisions. I find it extremely controversial to suggest that the answer to this "mood bias" is to willfully delude yourself by forcing yourself to think "optimistically". The author suggests that mood is a binary decision between optimism and pessimism. In life, very few decisions are binary, despite human propensity to view things as black and white. I would suggest that there is a middle ground between optimism and pessimism (call it "realism"). As a poker player for several decades, I can tell you that you are forced to discard optimism and pessimism (at least at the poker table) and adopt "realism" if you want to be successful. You can't let your moods affect your judgement. In regards to the author's statement, when someone smiles at you, you have to dispassionately calculate what that smile means given the context and other "knowns" you have to evaluate the situation. If you allow your mood to effect how you judge that smile will ensure your long-term failure as a poker player.

I'd argue that, with some effort, the same mindset can be extended to every day life, neither optimistic or pessimistic. Calculating outcomes and probabilities based on what you know, see, and hear without "mood bias" because you expect good or bad things to happen. I would agree that if you are going to make deluded, biased assessments based on your mood that you are better off doing so with a smile then a frown, but you are best off if you reject self-delusion all together.
Way off-topic but I'm intrigued... anyone know what's up with the presenter and several members of the audience (primarily in the front row) and their clothing (dress?)?

I only spent a semester in another country (in Madrid), but I felt that the lessons were not all that challenging, but they were thorough. Meaning, in my courses there we were expected to know a lot, but once we knew that material we weren't asked to manipulate it in any way that really pushed us. Confounding my interpretation is that one of my courses, as a computer engineering student, was a fluid mechanics course in the aerospace department.

Then again, my US undergrad is probably pretty atypical. My school had very heavy core requirements (at least for engineering), so you had a lot of classes each semester. It tends to be a top-ranked US school, but the classes really weren't very challenging, and because of how many we took, they never seemed to go into much depth.

On another note, it's not often that I reminisce longingly on my childhood, but that's exactly what happened while I was doing Cheryl's birthday. My favorite things growing up were math and logic puzzles in their pure forms, un-obscured by the tedium that accompanies them in real life. I remember Math 24 from Elementary school, Math Counts in middle school, and some brain teasers and logic puzzles sprinkled throughout both times. If you're needing some for late elementary children, I highly recommend "The Lady or The Tiger and Other Logic Puzzles"
The introduction of neonicotinoids corresponds with an increase in the number of active hives, to record numbers in some areas (like Canada).

The number of honeybee colonies in the US (where honeybees are livestock, not an indigenous species) is up since the announcement of CCD in 2006. Colonies are down since around 1990, when wild honeybees were wiped out by the varroa mite --- which mites remain the biggest stressor of honeybee colonies in the US.

You stated that Dr. Seligman "measured their success in life" - I find that assertion to be rather suspect. How is it possible to measure success objectively?

It also sounds to me like a pessimistic attitude can be very useful, especially if it guards a person against taking unnecessary risks and trying to overreach beyond his or her capabilities.

Isn't it desirable to have a healthy mixture of both attitudes rather than just one?
Bezos has been doing this for decades.
I suspect it's probably a wash. Donating to a Givewell charity has less risk certainly, but a successful startup on the order of Facebook will change the world by multiple orders of magnitude more. The expected value is probably similar.
But cost is also at issue. For cargo, it might make sense to take on 0.5-1.0% risk versus the massive investments necessary for the development of a space elevator.

And when we're talking about human spaceflight, consider the work SpaceX and Blue are putting into in-flight abort and propulsive landing - SpaceX's Crew Dragon should be much safer than the Space Shuttle, for example.
How about a combination of any other US bank + Transferwise? This is what I do (using Bank of America in the US). The transfers to Transferwise go through their US account (thus can be done as a no- or low-cost ACH) and the rates by Transferwise are pretty close to market rate.

Aren't stereotypes distinct from myths?
While I dislike describing these things ("He's a gun nut! He'll kill us! People like him should be locked up!" are common reactions to simple facts) there are multiple reasons rifles are lumped in.

- Any additional regulation sounds like progress to voters in favor of it. It can be nonsensical, unenforceable, make criminals out of previously law-abiding citizens (CA magazine size laws), be disregarded publicly by police departments, and they will still cheer for it.

- They are mostly used for target practice, hunting, pest control, and some home defense. People who vote for gun control typically don't do these things. Questions of the form "Why do you need (X number of rounds | optics | calibers | forward grips)?" sound reasonable to them; if you have ever faced a bear / pack of coyotes / intruders it's pretty self explanatory.

- They are the only real firearms that can present a significant threat to trained teams. Rifles can be aimed precisely, deliver a good sustained rate of fire, and punch through body armor, all from 500 yards.

- With a good amount of practice and .308-.50 rounds, you can take down opposing vehicles and assets (power stations, fuel tanks, etc), and have enough distance between you and the target to exit the area safely.

For those in favor of gun control (beyond what we have currently) on HN, let me ask: How well do you think you would fair in a large riot / national emergency / civil war armed with only a SAFE Act compliant handgun? These things do and will happen, maybe not in your lifetime, but certainly in the future. The laws we enact should not just be focused on making us feel safe. They should consider those that may have to justly defend themselves against a larger force.
Interestingly, as I get older, I find myself asking more questions. Where once I considered myself an "expert" I now feel like I know so very little.

I think part of what helped was to get interested in some completely unrelated thing. I was pretty much just a programmer, but have been getting into drawing and other art, and it's given me that sense of curiosity back and let me learn knew things even about programming topics.

As I just said, and you confirmed: Discord doesn't have a functional business. Discord currently makes no money. "Opportunites" are just that, opportunities. A lottery ticket is an opportunity, but it is not a business.

Discord promises it will always be free with "no gotchas". It specifically notes no "slot limitations" as an example of that, which indicates premium tiers are unlikely. They promise to never charge for core functionality. Presumably they may be able to do some sponsored promotion of some sort, but banner ads are probably out.

The revenue plan they mention is here: "In the future there will be optional cosmetics like themes, sticker packs, and sound packs available for purchase." And I have not ever seen an emoji pack for a chat service as an appealing sales item that's going to fund a startup. I'm super skeptical of this, and it's why I don't use it.

But, it'd make a solid acquisition for a company like Twitch that has a shoddy/simple chat function and needs something better in the gaming space.

This is a bit stupid, but developers, each time you make an announcement like that, even on your own forum, blog, ..., take the time to write 1 sentence telling people what the software does. I clicked on the link, have no idea what it is and nothing made me want to click on the website to find out.

Same for web apps. One line somewhere at the bottom/top of the page to explain where people are and what the hell it is about. It used to be the norm 10/15 years ago, I don't understand why people miss one precious opportunity like that. Visitors aren't lazy, it's just that there is so many content to browse today. If you don't get their attention in the 30 seconds they initially spend on your page, that's too late.

I agree their existing attempts have been disheartening and hard to watch.

I don't think fighting for their future necessarily involves keeping x86 as their only chip architecture.

I think that right now their "fights" and entries into these markets have mostly involved trying to keep the world from changing, not really fighting to survive. Less new and interesting strategies, more taking out old dusty x86 cores, polishing them up a bit and shoving them into the packages and market segments where they aren't dominant.

This is their fault at this point. It used to be that without x86 compat, you had an uphill battle. They don't have that high ground anymore. The fact that companies like yours were more locked to ARM than other options should be a huge, amazingly large warning sign for them.

I think what they should have done was the work the RISC-V team already started. I'm not sure they have the right architects to do it there though, frankly. The last time they tried to start a new architecture they really messed up on keeping it simple and providing clean hardware. They didn't recover confidence after Itanium and I think there was probably a lot of "Never Again" sentiment (probably rightfully so) both inside and outside the company.

But I think at some point it is going to become clear to them that they don't have any option but to try a move that desperate and risky again if they want to be a dominant player in the processor design business in the future.

Who knows if they'll actually get it right though. I probably would bet against it and would expect them to shift more and more towards a legacy designer (see also IBM) with substantial fab tech and capabilities that remain world class even if the processor design part loses most of the device markets.
Unanswerable.

First of all people do put non-fruit in their fruit salads such as honey, nuts, coconut-milk-jelly, other dairy products like cottage cheese.

Secondly, there is no law saying that I have to make any given named recipe the same way that you and your friends make it. What if I really like tomatoes? Or what if I don't like them at all but the doctor says I must eat so I want to put them into something that tastes yummy to cover the tomato flavor?

Tomatoes are a fruit, specifically they are a berry. Some varieties of tomato are quite sweet, so sweet that some people hate those varieties. Sweet tomatoes work fine in a fruit salad and if you served it to your friends without warning most of them would likely eat it and not complain.

Tomatoes are not the only fruit/vegetable that is sometime used as a fruit and sometimes as a vegetable.

It's more complicated than that. Tesla needs to increase their production much faster since the other manufacturers combined creates the long tail that Tesla will be competing with. Also, traditional manufacturers may rely on some industry software gold standard that lets them outsource the software development if they believe the core competency is unrealistic to develop in-house without 1) software mindset 2) time 3) money 4) organizational structure.
Techies are interested in Japanese culture, for the simple reasons, techies are hungry to know more and understand new things, and because they see a lot common interests with Japan, and moreover, things that bring similar but yet novel developments, these techies feel japan brings something new to be discovered. Yet, they feel like they can relate to it, like they do in the West.

Lets look at history, even before world war 1, the Japanese government was developing an inspired European military strategy, more and more in fact till well we know what happened in WW2, it's not to far from the Napoleons, and English rule for example. Now this is the interesting thing, Japan did not just acquire western technology and throwed it away, they actually culturally integrated it, but they used it to their advantage even way before the culture shocks of today, and by doing that, well they excelled in it.

The Japanese culture since the 60s and more so today has had a fusion of cultures, which today the young generation of Japan, feel much more Americanized and westernized. As the youth of Japan, today is more and more Americanized,they also feel partially like they are missing out, because so much of what they like comes from America, or other western countries. Japanese techies are as curious as the western techies, why we share the mix. Whats happening in the western world?
Well the same thing is happening On the opposite side, here as well in the western world, we feel we are missing out on new and interesting things, which go hand in hand with what techies or other non techies like. As the Japanese culture has brought commonality and newness to many industries, think products such walkman (that device even blue Steve Jobs mind), think anime's(stuff that makes physicist dream big), think ruby(programming), think videogames(biggest entertainment industry). And today, science and many more areas of expertise, share a lot of curiosity and interests with the western world and the rest of the globalized world. I would say this is due to simple reason that the Japanese culture has merged with the western culture to some point and that produces very interesting stuff, mixes are always very interesting and unique. So to close my thoughts, I would say the world is in a better place, because of this relationship we have between the West and the East, and we are hopefully moving towards a unified, peaceful and interesting human civilization type 2, referencing Kardashev Scale.

There's a worse problem, which I've seen in the wild:

int some_function(...);

int some_other_function(...)
{
int r = -1;
/* imagine a bunch of other locals defined here */

r = some_function(...);
if (-1 == r)
{
return -1;
}

...
}

Now imagine someone changes the return type of some_function():

char *some_function(...);

int some_other_function(...)
{
int r = -1;
/* imagine a bunch of other locals defined here */
char *s;

s = some_function(...);
if (-1 == r)
{
return -1;
}

...
}

Oops! Every other reference to r has been removed except the declaration and the test. Now some_other_function() will always take the early exit, and because r is initialized in its definition the compiler does not complain. (In real life, hilarity ensued.) If it was 'int r;' with no initializer this would have been caught by the compiler.

Modern gcc is great at finding uninitialized and unused variables. -Wall -Wextra -Werror FTW.

EDIT: referred to some_function() where it should have been some_other_function().
can it? explain.

Yeah, how dare he have an opinion that runs counter to the known truth. He has attacked the Body. He is not one with Landru.
Agreed. I think the larger point I was trying to make is there is always a bit of luck somewhere somehow that contributes to overall success. In the case of Facebook, it came in the form of lousy products such as Friendster and Myspace.

The opportunity for countries to pursue open source chip designs already exists, what is not easy is for a country to develop a semiconductor manufacturing capability that is equivalent to a modern chip factory.

Everything from sourcing silicon to the wafers to the packaging is such an amazingly intricate supply chain that it is a huge undertaking to try to develop it.

That said, I'm interested how you see TPP influencing the evolution (or distribution) of ARM manufacturers. Or the cost for ARM chips for that matter.

Flipping the sign of addends is a common compiler transformation, likely there to optimize for code size in some cases. Unless that code looks weird enough that it _had_ to be coded by hand, that constant switch doesn't mean much of anything.
