Thanks for the explanation. German here and I've used a laundromat maybe thrice in my life, for washing stuff that didn't fit in the washing machine at the time. Around here those places are also hard to find because there's effectively no market for them when everyone has a washing machine. (And judging from the prices someone else quoted above I guess a 600 € washing machine that lasts a decade or more isn't a bad investment when you're otherwise paying 100 $ a month for cleaning services.)
For the record, Christopher Langan, the IQ 200 guy tackled the subject in his theory on how reality works http://www.ctmu.org/

Also a document you can google titled A MIND/BRAIN/MATTER MODEL CONSISTENT WITH QUANTUM PHYSICS AND UFO PHENOMENA by Thomas E. Bearden from 1979 also talks about how reality is a shared dream basically.

Another article of interest: https://www.quantamagazine.org/20160421-the-evolutionary-arg...

Perhaps we will have to wait for a real AI in the future to fully comprehend and have the deep nature of reality explained to us as it's a subject too difficult for even the greatest minds to tackle.

The reason why dreams are so malleable and controllable by the dreamer to some degree is that you're really the only dreamer when you fall asleep and dream, whereas when you're awake there appear to be other shared dreamers who make the reality "hard" at least on a macro level. Perhaps if gradually all the shared dreamers became convinced reality is a dream we would see "weird" things appear in this reality too.

My take is that subconsciousness of each human is a sort of a GPU computational "workhorse" that each do their part to generate and render this shared reality. The things not observed are not rendered in order to save processing power because it is finite.

Even so, I think our brains too are a metaphor for some processing unit that exists on a level of reality below ours, blobs of organic neural networks in an underlying 2D universe perhaps? Or it's a part of some sort of an artificial simulation, a game.

Sorry, no, questioning a journalist's claims is not defamation.

The family thinks this quote is bunk, too.

"We never saw or heard anything from our dad, John Ehrlichman, that was derogatory about any person of color," wrote Peter Ehrlichman, Tom Ehrlichman, Jan Ehrlichman, Michael Ehrlichman and Jody E. Pineda in a statement provided to CNN.

"The 1994 alleged 'quote' we saw repeated in social media for the first time today does not square with what we know of our father. And collectively, that spans over 185 years of time with him," the Ehrlichman family wrote. "We do not subscribe to the alleged racist point of view that this writer now implies 22 years following the so-called interview of John and 16 years following our father's death, when dad can no longer respond. None of us have raised our kids that way, and that's because we were not raised that way."

Again, I'm suggesting browsers should continue to display a warning if a site that was previously served over an authenticated connection stops being served over an authenticated connection. In this case, an attacker could only turn off SSL if a site has never been encountered before. High-value sites are included in HSTS lists already, so this gap can be bridged.

Right now, attackers can quitely turn off SSL for most sites if they just strip it from the connection; requesting over HTTPS and re-serving over HTTP. The majority of users types "example.org" into their address bar, not "https://example.com". Most users won't notice, especially not if the favicon is replaced with a fake green padlock.

>The turkey metaphor rests on the premise that there is an end goal with the turkey; the farmer wants to eat it.

No, it really doesn't. The same thing could have happened to the "empiricist dog".

The only reason it is a turkey is for the added emphasis and "foreshadowing" the reader would get.

But the gist of the parable is not about "this is what happens to turkey", it is "this is the problem with induction", whether there is an end goal or not. The slaughter here is just "whatever lies ahead".

Note also that in the case of the real world, we ARE like the turkey in the parable, and are as oblivious to thanksgiving as any turkey is. That is, in the course of the parable is that you shouldn't identify with the reader, but with the turkey.
amusing and fairly cool. That calling a non-static function in a static context in the PHP file bothers the heck out of me for some reason, though. (maybe since my coworkers always mess it up).

I don't see the point of that video.

a) If anything, it is not a feat of Company, but of nowadays IFR systems in cooperation with ATC guys who probably sweated off at least 10 pounds during that shift.

b) Each and every airline does that, from top notch VIP charters to those we-are-declaring-emergency-because-our-company-doesn't-let-us-take-in-enough-fuel-so-we-are-landing-RIGHT-NOW-GET-OFF-OUR-WAY poor souls piloting Ryanairs.

c) Aviation is a market. If you pay, you get aircrafts and pilots. If you pay good, you get good pilots. That's it.

d) This is very inside the box thinking. An equivalent of this would be showing a video of a bunch of guys running to the local hardware shop, hastily throwing HW boxes into a car, driving fast and furious back to the site, assembling a server, plugging it in, installing OS and presenting it to the customer: here, your server.
So Amazon can beat them only when they can do all of this on demand?
No, they just built the AWS and "on demand" now means just clicking "I want an instance now" or even letting a balancer spin that up for you, done.

The article is talking about 15 years horizon and although that is a very brave speculation of Amazon's business plans and future events, just think about what 15 years means. 15 years ago, Windows XP has just RTMed a week before. GPS meant some ugly expensive box waiting an eternity to get a fix. Common large and heavy desktop crates called personal computers struggled with even playing a DivX video in CRT resolution. Capturing overhead footage meant flying an expensive helicopter running on expensive fuel and operated by highly trained pilot.
Nowadays, you can buy an entire device called "quadcopter" for less than an hour of helicopter flight time and fly around and videotape everything like in a computer game. We have small slates of glass called "smartphones" that smoothly play 2880x2160 videos while projecting them onto a 3D surface twice (VR phone-based headsets) or even smoothly render an entire VR game scene from polygons. We have cars using half as much fuel. You can tap on your slate of glass and a car arrives for you.

In 15 years we can have supertough drones flying right through hurricanes, micro hyperloops moving small cargo around entire states, warehouses on every other corner with duplicated stock, carpooling packet delivery services like some Uber-Fedex hybrid, or even outright cargo teleports spitting out pizzas from local restaurants, shoe orders from Amazon and hell monsters from Mars military bases with id Software calling out software patents on that and claiming intellectual property on 50% of incoming daemons...

Sorry for long post - basically what I wanted to say is that everybody can do that with airplanes.

Retrospective: Haskell in Production
This story has featured on HN before but InfoQ has an interview with Carl Baatz. Some interesting points in here - for example:

“Haskell’s type system really does ensure a higher degree of consistency compared with many mainstream languages. In my experience, bugs in dynamically typed languages are often “silly” mistakes from refactoring: I changed an object field property, but didn’t update all the places it was used. In Haskell, the compiler tells you what you missed, because your change altered the type of the object and now there’s a mismatch between that and what the old usage assumed.

The language also encourages you to program in a style that has strong static guarantees. For example, you could store your configuration in a dictionary from string to string, and then handle missing or invalid entries wherever you use the configuration. It is usually easier however, to specify the configuration type in detail; you state that it MUST have a port that’s an integer for example. You can then rely on that everywhere – you know that port lookup can’t fail. Reading the configuration from disk can of course fail and you might choose to handle that by exiting the program or supplying a default value.”

What's that best way to disable the WoSign cert on Arch Linux?
Correct. I'm familiar with the trajectory of the "Fake it 'till you make it" meme, but I have never understood it to be a PC synonym for fraud, or passing yourself off as something that you are not (including missing payroll and falsifying investor interest or mundane things like your C.V.)

Some professors in US colleges are focused on research and publishing. Their pay and whether or not they get tenure is based somewhat on the amount of research they have published and the amount of grants they have gotten.

So teaching isn't a high priority for some professors as teaching is time that you could have spent doing research.

Some classes are taught - at least in part - by TAs or graduate students. TAs also grade most of the homework. In my school at least, I think the professors graded the tests.

Now that I think about it the TAs might benefit the most from these pre-made slides and such.
Are you comparing the polished output (audiobooks) to raw input (typing)? That's about as unfair a comparison as you could possibly make: I'm positive (from experience) that the audiobooks undergo massive retakes and sound editing. What you hear is not a person narrating the whole thing in a single take; the raw input rate (number of words / time spent in front of the mic) is about 20 wpm, if you're really really lucky (you will throw away a lot of material). And halve that for edits, which are unavoidable. Plus the recording happens under ideal conditions, with full and perfect focus on pronunciation.

TL;DR: audiobooks are almost completely unlike voice recognition, you're comparing apples and oblique angles.

You can do the same on DO, it's just slightly more involved, almost certainly less resiliant and they supply less PaaS options.

In fact as an IaaS if you throw kubernetes at it, run ceph and put a little effort into getting autoscaling, then you have a knock-off cloud.

Amazons value is that it's cheaper for a small company than hiring the people who can do this well and you can hire a generalist to glue it all together.

Great share, but I'd like to kindly suggest that you think again about your conclusions there. You were dismissive of an entire programming language and its community (we've all been there), and then 1 member of that community did something impressive, and you changed your entire opinion of said language and community (I guess most of us have been there too).

Wouldn't it be a much more interesting conclusion that there's fantastic people and not-so-fantastic people everywhere and it mostly just depends on where you look?

I mean, HN likes to be very dismissive of PHP but at the same Composer (the de-facto PHP package manager) avoids dependency conflicts entirely and provably because it contains a home-cooked SAT solver[1]. In PHP. Tackling an NP-complete problem without breaking a sweat. To me that's both super-awesome and sensible at the same time.

Maybe stereotypes about programming communities have more to do with marketing and accidental who-happens-to-be-most-prolific and less with the language or community just being good or bad.

I'm not a Transmission user, but this makes me wonder, as a sort of Ask HN question: How long do you wait before updating software?

If you always update as soon as possible, then you risk getting hit by a compromise like this one, or you could suffer other unintentional bad effects of a botched update.

But the longer you delay updating, the more you raise your risk of becoming a victim of a new vulnerability that's just been patched and is now in the wild.
I like Transmission, but this is the second serious security problem they've had this year. Once you can forgive, but twice and it's time to look for a new BitTorrent client.
Cool! I've used meetup to meet people while traveling and it's gone really well. I've thought about making a tool for that. Did you scrape meetup, use their api, or is there a data dump available?
qbittorent is my choice on Windows, and it has an OS X version.
Well that is just what I was told.

Another possible reason is that it is much easier to let MyMathLab grade everything and then spit out a grade at the end of the semester. Though I'm the one paying $140 for a license code.

Bệnh phụ khoa là bệnh mà đa số phụ nữ đều mắc phải ít nhất một lần trong đời, đây là bệnh viêm nhiễm ở cơ quan sinh dục nữ bao gồm cơ quan sinh dục dưới (âm hộ, âm đạo, cổ tử cung) và cơ quan sinh dục trên (tử cung, vòi trứng và buồng trứng). Tuy là bệnh mà phụ nữ thường gặp nhưng nhiều chị em thường không biết rõ những triệu chứng của bệnh phụ khoa nên rất nhiều người lầm tưởng đó là một bệnh khác. Vậy triệu chứng khi bị nhiễm bệnh phụ khoa là như thế nào?

More info on the malware:

> The OSX/Keydnap backdoor is equipped with a mechanism to gather and exfiltrate passwords and keys stored in OS X’s keychain. The author simply took a proof-of-concept example available on Github called Keychaindump. It reads securityd’s memory and searches for the decryption key for the user’s keychain. This process is described in a paper by K. Lee and H. Koo. One of the reasons we think the source was taken directly from Github is that the function names in the source code are the same in the Keydnap malware.

A bit back I wrote a Forth interpreter that's a single file containing shell (a tiny bit), awk, C, and (a limited dialect of) Forth.

https://github.com/EtchedPixels/FUZIX/blob/master/Applicatio...

The awk byte-compiles the initial Forth dictionary into the C file; if you edit the C file, you then run it (as a shell script) and it updates the byte-compiled word definitions. Then you can compile it as a standalone C program.

Amazingly, this was actually the simplest way to solve the problem...
There's zero tactile feedback on software keyboards and the way most people are using them is basically the good old "hunt and peck" style that's the least efficient way to use a hardware keyboard.

I don't think it's a larger part of population, just much better organized.

Also, you're forgetting that a lot of "right" is pretty secular and is driven not by religion, but by the nature of conflict itself — it's much harder to cling to democratic and liberal values for all when you're afraid for your life every day. (I'm not expressing my personal opinion on the issue here, just describing different political forces and motivations behind other people as I see them).

One consideration to take into account when choosing your hash table implementation is how much it is susceptible to the quality of the used hash function. Hash tables using chaining are pretty robust against low-quality hash functions. Using the same with a Robin Hood table will land you in a catastrophic case very quickly.

This is the issue I ran into when investigating use of RH hashing in PHP -- the average case had good performance, but there were pathological cases exhibiting extremely high clustering in a mostly empty table. The reason was the low-quality hash (for integer keys the identity function).
I wait about a week, unless I've heard out of band talk about some terrible hack with a punny name and we all need to upgrade NAO!1! I suppose I should always look for a secondary source for release notes or such as soon as possible; I don't because I am a lazy human.
My suggestion would be to avoid the hypocrisy and impose a massive sales tax on gun sales, which is what that rule would indirectly create.
