Time Warner Cable [1] used to be a part of Time Warner Inc., but:

> In the past, other major divisions of Time Warner included Time Inc., AOL, Time Warner Cable, Warner Books, and Warner Music Group. All of these operations were either sold to other investors or spun off as independent companies between 2004 and 2014.

AT&T made a deal to buy Time Warner Inc.

I just removed "maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=no", is that better? TBH I would have just copied that from somewhere assuming it was best practice :/
Based on the top upvoted comment from echelon in this thread, there seems to be widespread confusion about Time Warner the media company.

Maybe a better way to think of it: AT&T is buying HBO, TBS, and Warner Bros.[1]

(If you squint a certain way and look at Yahoo as a "media company"... the AT&T acquisition of HBO+TBS+WB is somewhat a parallel industry move to Verizon's acquisition of Yahoo.[2])

AT&T is not buying the other company with the similar name Time Warner Cable. Yes, that other company owns some internet pipes (ISPs) but it is not involved in this transaction.

Sorry, where did I say 3D printing was magic? I'm a mechanical engineer who has had my 3D printer for 4 years. I just got a second one. I understand you can't print glass with a 3D printer. You can however, absolutely print critical parts of the machinery you would need to build a glass making system.

I'm talking 10-20 years out for having a self sustaining community that manufactures its own hard goods. But I believe it is possible and I'm working on making it real.

I'm not relying on magic.
I agree buy and hold diversified stocks is good. As well as no ongoing fees it can be more tax efficient for capital gains tax. If you buy a S&P tracker, it doubles and you sell, some you have a gain. If you buy 10 stocks and they double on average and you need cash just sell the one that didn't go up.

Somewhat related - it is very impressive to me how atomic energy players pushed some genius PR onto people in terms of advertising that atomic energy is so so clean.

I mean - most people I asked were just thinking that atomic energy creates steam and that's all.

Wow, such efficiency!
I've enjoyed your comments, they've helped me clarify my thoughts.

It seems we disagree on what creativity is. I strongly believe humans/consciousness are not essential elements in it. For starters:

1). No dictionary seems to link creativity and humanity

2). Einstein's insights are considered some of the greatest examples of original thinking ever, and would not be diminished, or less beneficial to society, if conjured by a black box.

3). By your definition, a machine could out do a human by a thousand fold in every possible task and still not be creative. I don't think there's any precedent or foundation that would make that a tenable position.
Or, knowing the Russian penchant for secrecy surrounding the locations of government buildings and installations, they may have decided to not even try. Kind of like the way that plat maps for Soviet cities were intentionally obfuscated so as to confuse intelligence agencies (and local drivers).
I don't like it when Hacker News goes off on these political tangents, regardless of whether your comment was well-intentioned.
I think the point is that by accepting a situation where perpetrators are not responsible for their actions and victims are criticized for not assessing risk appropriately is a disappointing and destructive way of thinking.

Are there any downloadable DNS lookup tables which could be used as hosts.txt or /etc/hosts in case of emergency?

I know that DNS is organized in root zones with hierarchical subqueries. A global hosts file which contains the whole IP space is sort of unfeasible because domain names change within seconds.

However, in face of the current attacks the DNS maintainers should seriously consider to offer downloadable hosts files so that we could use them temporarily to circumvent DNS queries in cases of further attacks.
Thanks for the advice, and thanks again for that great post. I'll get on it.

It might be significant if more people upvote on the front page than e.g. in /new, since that would likely increase the "staying power" of submissions on the front page.

I think you have it backwards: to process a lot of data you really need DMA. The current state of these interconnects is going backwards IMHO.
That might work for some simpler machine learning algorithms, but in deep learning I think you'll have an even harder time correctly figuring out intuitively what's going on than you would learning the math.

If you do it for your job, perhaps. However, if you're a hobbyist, that doesn't make as much sense. As a hobbyist you have the luxury of being able to use the tools you like the best. In any case, FPGA design shouldn't be closely coupled to any one language, they're just a tool that allows you to express the design you have in mind. If Clash or Chisel can help you express that design more succinctly and clearly than the competition, there's no need to stick to the other tools. The need only exists for professionals, as changing to languages with lower market share carries risk.
> If you can do everything on the gpu then it isn't a problem but at that point why isn't the gpu your main processor?

The GPU is a highly optimized block of SIMD machines with a more limited set of ALU ops and addressing modes. The CPU has a more general architecture.

Well, I thought we were talking about building a Martian colony with 3D printing. Apologies if I misunderstood.

My (very uninformed) guess is that you could probably build a self-sustaining community using 3D printing, on the Alps or the Appalachian. (After all, our ancestors managed with stone tools.) Doing that on the South Pole will be challenging. Mars, forget it.

If you are persistent enough you could probably 3D print everything, I guess. Maybe you could 3D-print concrete and ceramic blocks to build a furnace that will be used to produce steel which will be shaped into a pipe (by another 3D printed machine) to transport hot gas to melt silicon oxide and produce glass.

However, after a few iterations, I guess people will ask "Why don't we just pour concrete over here in conventional way? That's much easier and cheaper."
Reminds when nvidia removed their control panel and replaced it with... I'm not sure what it was. There was 2 mostly blank white highly padded pages, a spinning 3d logo, and maybe a grand total of 4 input fields to edit? It was utterly useless. Around 8 years ago you could use a RegEdit to get the original back. I hope it's still possible. The original control panel was full of features and they simply removed them all.

The breadth and depth of information on the "internet" is such that any attempt to characterize it in the aggregate is nonsensical.
Thanks. Many memories of acoustic-coupler time spent on Compuserve and local BBSes.
The location of buildings in moscow is pretty well-known, though. But there have been also discussions in other countries about trying to get governmental buildings added to the no-fly list for drones, and having issues with that, so it might actually be the reason.

Are we reading the same emails?!
Sure, can't rule it out. But I'd say you're pointing out a different (though in and of itself legitimate) problem than the problem of hostility in the sphere which many of us from the 70s and 80s grew up and old(ish) in.

To be honest with you, if I just look at how those people in my very well developed country (with the Internet being ubiquitous, and being poor generally means receiving minimal benefits as opposed to having no money or place to live) behave who still do partake in the public discourse, I'd say that the problem is more with all of their bitterness than that their bitterness is caused by those who never even had a chance in the first place.

As for me, I'm no saint either because I too can get bitter, annoyed, cynical and depressed from time to time. The difference is just that don't tell people off or post my unhappiness; I have the proclivity to just shut up and leave. "There's no use to arguing". Or I do my absolute best to be constructive, like now.

And to add to that: these days and even years I also barely share my own happiness and/or optimism online, because I don't want my vulnerabilities and/or soft spots to become targets. In fact, I'm not even sharing most of my humanity / personality / identity online with strangers at all anymore, unless it's to reflect or in an attempt to at least offer something to counter all of the now common harshness. Like in comments such as this one. And if I'm really really honest then I also need to admit that this side of me is really closer to a character trait than that it's something implying actual personal involvement.

But I digressed, sorry, so let me back up a bit to the two kinds of groups we've established. Maybe the latter group (the one you pointed out) could indeed bring something nice to the table. Assuming they could, it's not realistic to assume they would, for clearly it's not exactly an hospitable, inviting environment these days, and I'd say this just doesn't make it appealing at all.

Simply put: it is what it is mainly due to those who can join in and they either freeze, fight, or flight. Who in their right mind who's not here already would want to join in on that mess?
Yes, you think its the same reason and that is the beauty if it.

Another great free OS resource is MIT's 6.828: Operating System Engineering.

"This course studies fundamental design and implementation ideas in the engineering of operating systems. Lectures are based on a study of UNIX and research papers. Topics include virtual memory, threads, context switches, kernels, interrupts, system calls, interprocess communication, coordination, and the interaction between software and hardware. Individual laboratory assignments involve implementation of a small operating system in C, with some x86 assembly."

A tar file doesn't have a central directory like a zip, so you do have to search all the file headers. However, each file header contains the length of the file it describes, which lets you seek past the content of any files you don't care about if the tar isn't stored in a way that would prevent seeking.
Are there good resources for learning how to culturally communicate with customers from different cultures? Even reddit groups where we can participate. I am not talking about speaking multiple languages but being multicultural.

Since 2003, I have been working directly with customers from more than 30 countries but there are cases when I am stuck at the project requirements phase in an already sold service. For example, I am talking with a customer in Malaysia to do something that seems almost impossible because of regulatory issues. He understands the difficulty but it seems like he cannot engage in a logical discussion about this and definitely change his idea. In a way he respects me but thinks I can do some magic to overcome regulatory issues with software only. If I were talking with a typical American customer he would realize that the problem doesn't have a solution earlier on and would try to reformulate the requirements. BTW, any recommendation will be helpful!

Current big project at work has a back end that is not in JS, but we still have a way to run the same validation code on both sides, which is run in an embedded JS interpreter on the server.

I'm not sure I would want to write a complete back end in JS or not (even if I'm not in love with Java, lately), but reusing this part makes a lot of sense.

---

We currently serialize (sync block) validation requests on the server through Nashorn, rather than having multiple instances (per thread or a pool). But, it's not like the requests wouldn't be serialized through Node, though. The rest of the request processing happens on independant threads normally. Not overly fond of threads, but I don't think I could get my team to by into Erlang or Elixir :-)

For that matter, my primary partner on this project is a big Scala fan, and we couldn't even get the rest of the group to go for that :-(

Primordial black holes are the candidate here as you mentioned (black holes exist, primordial black holes may exist, but we haven't found any yet).

Thanks to LIGO we think we may have the first evidence for them, but there is still a lot of work to do to prove them.

Decent article on that: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/ligo-black-holes-dark-ma...

The interesting thing will be if we can prove they are around, which would then give some options for showing if they're dark matter or not (looking for gravity waves in areas where there's large dark matter concentrations would be the most likely candidate for now).

A decade or two back I met the daughter of a friend in Italy. She was English and studying Italian as part of her university degree in Wales. She complained that she wasn't really learning that much.

One part was hard for her to change - being fair and blond. However, apart from that, she had chosen to go to Florence - one of the few places where people did speak a fair bit of English. She also shared a flat with an English girl friend. They both remarked that one of the other guys on their course was also in Florence but they never saw him - he had joined rugby club and socialised only with locals - funnily enough his Italian had gotten much better...
Actually, since moving data to GPU memory and back is so costly, GPGPU is quite limited. For example, that's why you don't see it used for databases out of some paper or some NVidia marketing thing.

A few years ago there were plans to integrate the GPU and CPU by AMD with a local fast interconect. But I don't know what happened with all that.
Regardless of the technical feasibility of this particular method, I think it is wise to simply abandon LinkedIn. They have proven to be a company I don't want to be associated with.

There is a good argument for using
$('.image').on('click', clickImage);
instead of attaching three click handlers clickImage[ABC] and hardcoding those in HTML, which probably explains why jQuery is so popular.

OTOH I agree that using jQuery for animation doesn't add anything, particularly now that CSS Animation is omnipresent. My initial though on the problem was "Can I do this in pure CSS?", not to go to javascript. And since it turns out you can't, the logical next question is why the desired behavior is actually desired, instead of e.g. just making the image a thumbnail and a clickable link to the full-size image. So really the entire question is an example of overengineering, requiring an absurd amount of technology for a feature you aren't even sure you want.
Show HN: Telecoms blocking access to NIH studies
It appears that at least two mobile internet providers are blocking access to NIH studies. For instance, I was unable to load this from my phone using 4G and had to connect using separate wifi. Several others have confirmed this. For instance:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/21716201/

If you're unable to view the link, it discusses the carcinogenic effects of low intensity microwave radiation from devices such as mobile phones and wireless modems.

Edit: Appears that all NIH studies are blocked, e.g.,

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3746332/

So perhaps it's a DDOS prevention routing issue.
Reason: cheap money, no ROI to be found elsewhere.
> Time Warner Cable is not part of Time Warner, so they're not consolidating service providers. AT&T just wants some content production companies.

That might be what they say, but I think it's to compete with Google. While Google may have given up on further fiber rollout after the existing ones, Google still plans to continue to expand and compete with AT&T and other broadband providers but as a wireless provider. Google Fi is just the start. When they bought up Motorola they ended making a better phone themselves (the Pixel). They're using Sprint and T-Mobile for Google Fi now, but plan to become a better wireless data provider.

Of course, it remains to be seen whether these plans will work.

That makes no sense. Reminder: We were talking about Javascript vs. custom template language - both are programming languages. One more limited than the other, but that is when I asked why you don't just use the same subset of Javascript. Just variables and basic loops, for example. You have the exact same things in the template language!
Your observations may be true, but in this case there are more than one possible explanations apart from the numbers.

First, like you said, the cultural issue makes them more reserved and less open to others. But it can also be a pure personality issue, or a mixture of both.

Secondly, it could simply be a result of some prior events, like failed attempts to overcome language barrier, unwelcoming attitudes from local students, or even discrimination in some cases. All these could contribute to such things happening, and I think it is usually a mix of factors, not just culture.
