Home row? I understand you completely: Ctrl+bbdd does what you asked for.

Vim's d2b actually moves far away from the home row (note the "2")!

Not wanting to do the finger acrobatics? I'm even more with you here: I remapped Ctrl and Alt to be just next to space, and space to serve both as space and shift.

And, to point out that vim absolutely requires pinky acrobatics all the time with its reliance on : and ESC, so IMHO it is even more demanding than emacs there.

Spring-break-bound sophomore Anna Crail was watching a movie on Thursday when her iPhone spontaneously caught fire over the Pacific. "All of a sudden there was like 8-inch flames coming out of my phone," she told KOMO News. The teen panicked, telling KOMO that she thought the plane "was going down." "I flipped it off onto the ground, and it got under someone's seat, and the flames were just getting higher, and a bunch of people stood up," she said.

(Spotted in a comment by resolaibohp < https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12646376 > in today's thread about a replacement Samsung Galaxy Note 7 catching fire on a plane < https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12645826 >)

I am Cloudflare's CTO. I know how our systems operate. I was asking for this person to contact me so I can understand what is happening in this instance.
The article is poorly written, but the actual abstract is pretty clear:

"Here, by analysing global demographic data, we show that improvements in survival with age tend to decline after age 100, and that the age at death of the world’s oldest person has not increased since the 1990s. Our results strongly suggest that the maximum lifespan of humans is fixed and subject to natural constraints."

I don't think this isn't a real surprise, but it shows that you can't link the rise in life expectancy to maximum life spans.

For example, fewer infants dying doesn't mean that humans can live longer, but the overall average goes up.

OK. But why would they? What is the raison d'etre for such a company to exist? What is the competitive advantage here for those companies to actually do that? How does this not turn into a hilarious race-to-the-bottom that zeroes out any reason for anybody to do it in the first place?

I am profoundly unconvinced that you're going to ever beat a Twitter or a Facebook and it's not because of "vested interests preventing it", it's because the current options meet the needs and desires of the userbase. The size of the group that cares about self-hosting something like this is within epsilon of zero percent. Because nobody cares, there is no network effect to pull other people.
In the foreseeable future we will not. However, our hope is to do that eventually (probably at least half a year away) as we do with all our content.

According to the article it said that he powered down the phone and put it in his pocket before it started smoking. Maybe it started combusting when he powered it off.

That's a fine reason to use an alternative social network, but building these things doesn't solve the larger problem in a way that is meaningfully competitive. GNUSocial has been around for ages, but you don't see anyone scrambling to compete against the rising tide of federated social networks.

Most people are on Facebook and Twitter. That is our target market. The question isn't, "how do I maintain control of my media?", that's actually not a hard problem. The problem that needs solving is this:

How can we, the people, compete directly with enormously wealthy corporate entities? We have them hooked on free software, that's a huge win, but how do we go from there to user acquisition? How do we do support? Marketing? How do we ensure good UX? Does it cost money? How do we pay for our time? I don't pretend to know the answer, but I think these are things the FOSS community needs to spend some time thinking about.

I guess it could be both but I view it first as a setting of the account since you can also be location tracked perhaps by a browser, or your Wear device? That would be my first go-to on that setting but I guess it can be seen both ways.
It turns into a utility, like Wikipedia, or OpenStreetMap. Not all that provides value generates profit, hence the need for a different model.

Mind you, Telegram is funded by one wealthy benefactor, and I'd argue its a reasonably large service not attempting to compete for profit against other incumbents.
Software can probably assist here, at least that is the assertion of the research group I am working in.

Simulating the assembly of molecular machines is very hard, more so than simulating the machines themselves. Chemical reactions are hard to simulate because we don't have a good way to model atoms, phenomenally large amounts of atoms are involved in chemical reactions, and chemical reactions take incredibly long amounts of time relative to what the individual atoms are doing. The last two make it so that events that are incredibly rare relative to individual atoms occur often enough in the real world to be of significant importance.

Quantum computers might fix the first issue, the last two we'll need to get clever. And indeed we have some clever approaches for dealing with these two issues, but there is still work that needs to be done.

Thinking in primitives isn't that useful. For years we have know that if we could daisy chain rotaxanes together we could make amazing artificial muscles. We get greater strains and relative forces than real muscles, but we have yet to realize such things. One can draw a structure with interlocking loops that could be daisy chained, but when we try to make in the real world, it ends up being huge(synthetically) and doesn't necessarily move in ways we thought it would.

On the plus side for Boeing, they have a very long track record of building things that live in space for long periods of time. Boeing acquired the Hughes geostationary satellite business based in the Los Angeles area a long time ago.

What we're building:
Collaborative, programmable spreadsheets. Think Google Sheets, but like this: http://www.alphasheets.com/videos/headliner.gif
You can check more examples out at alphasheets.com.

AlphaSheets marries the capabilities of spreadsheets (simple WYSIWYG calculation interface) with the full power of programming. We've gotten excitement from wall street quants, marketing analysts, pharmaceutical scientists, insurance analysts. Our broader audience is the burgeoning population of people who can write small bits of code but aren't full-on software engineers. We envision a future where tens of millions of people with these skills see AlphaSheets as their tool of choice for data analysis.

In fact, you have two trade-offs. One is what you said - that for a fixed amount of memory, the more cores, the less memory you have per core. The second trade-off is the transistor budget - the more space you use for cores, the less space you have left for memory.

That was a substantial plot hole where she had no idea someone was simulating her.

I suspect a huge part of the panopticon culture would be / is being informed that you're being peeped at. 99% of the time someone asking "Computer locate commander Riker" involved commander Riker knowing all about who's looking for him and why and having a substantial conversation with the requester.

I don't recall any plot along the lines of Deanna getting jealous and spamming the computer all night asking where Riker is and he better not be in that cute ensign's bedroom... Because it seems logical the computer would inform him each time and he would eventually tire of the interruption and nature would take its course, WRT his relationship with Deanna.

A better analogy would be technically I could walk up to the company president's office and stalk him, but culturally that is so not going to fly and I would have a lot of explaining to do. Merely using the computer instead of walking there in flesh isn't a major cultural shift.

However, every single "holodeck creeper" plot line involved the simulated attractive real world woman not knowing she's being simulated until the plot reached maximum spaghetti spilling cringe, which is one of the few Trek panopticon situations where people being spied on did NOT know they were being spied on, which seems very un-trek, although it made for some entertaining stories.

An alternative interpretation is I believe over the course of the series every attractive woman on the ship was simulated on the holodeck at least once by at least one lonely guy, and its possible that culturally they just got used to it, although I find that unlikely. People do get conditioned to become used to the weirdest things, so its not out of the realm of possibility. Possibly a culture of what happens in vegas stays in vegas develops and its just the sexism of the TV show that they never showed the women turning the tables on their fellow male crewmen on the holodeck.
The easiest way to think about it is that remote access is order-preserving message passing with a separate message network for reads (as it truly is), so:
0. Local reads and writes happen immediately.
1. Writes from core X to core Y are committed in the same order in which they happen.
2. Reads of core Y from core X are performed in the same order in which they are executed, and they are performed sometime between when they get executed and their result is used.
3. Reads can be reordered WRT writes between the same pair of cores (so you _don't_ see your writes).

I don't remember how does this work with external memory (including cores from different chips).

The very first picture looks like something on the front of tabloid?

Hey, it's me, Mark, just taking a stroll with my two cool Nigerian friends...

It's a mix between tabloid journalism, pr puff piece, great man narrative, and a new brand of American imperialism. It's shameless in its portrayal of these poor hard-working people as having their lives made better by Zuckerberg showing up saying "awesome" and doing a very public tour which boosts his brand.

Other people do this stuff, but they don't get this kind of attention.

You can't take anything Facebook, Google, or a number of the other big social media giants do at face value anymore. Check out their backgrounds, the politicians they are very chummy with, and what they censor.

> Why on earth shouldn't it do the right thing out of the box?

Which is what exactly? The default being to have a uniform service across all asset types seems sensible enough to me. It's either that or everything is off by default and you manually include paths/expressions that are included. The latter seems more of a hassle for most people.

> Isn't "this stuff is hard, let us figure it out for you" CloudFlare's entire value proposition?

I'm not sure what their angle is. As far as I can tell it's to re-centralize the internet so they can be the single tap point where SSL is added and removed[1]. Once they've got a sizeable chunk of the world funneling through them, they could make some decent coin giving direct access to the feds.

Until then, it's just free SSL and DDOS protection. Can't really complain against free either. Heck just don't use it.

> If these are attitudes typical of psychology, then I cannot say I consider psychology to be a proper social science.

It's quite unscientific to draw a blanket conclusion like that about a field based on the anecdotal evidence of one named person and some unnamed "critics".

Let's get some statistics before casting doubt on the entire field of psychology.

I think most people are trying to get by and to be good. My personal experience in academics is that the vast, vast majority of students and teachers just want to study their art or science and contribute to their community without having to spin or sell to get funding. Some of the people that you hear about in articles get attention because they like attention, and they will happily say opinionated, contentious and unscientific things because it gets talked about.

There are bad actors with high levels self interest in all fields of study and work, so really the only scientific conclusion you can come to is that not all humans are perfect.
If you're looking for weird synchronization primitives, look at the documentation of the DMA controller.
