Well, The article specifically mentions "conspiracy theories"

I quote:
The lack of a definitive root cause has prompted all sorts of wild theories, including a sniper from a competitor's facilities at Cape Canaveral.

But not the central theory which notes a flying object which is unidentified (written that way for those brainwashed by CIA disinformation that "UFO" means "Alien") passing the rocket the instant it explodes in the video.

Which even Elon said they can't rule out.
But yeah.
An inert gas exploding spontaneously is MUCH more likely than sabotage.... yeah right... That we don't need "extraodinary evidence"
Laptops have what is known as an "embedded controller" to handle peripherals like keyboard/touchpad, power management, and fan control. Most of them seem to be low-power 8/16-bit MCUs like 8051 and H8S, but I wouldn't be surprised if newer ones use ARM too.

...and don't forget Intel ME, which is not ARM but another processor in the system.
And what about the people who have distanced themselves from that culture (if they even experienced it at all) but are still that race? You can differentiate based on the actions and ideas because those are under the person's control for the most part, and not by protected categories because those are not. Despise the people who treat women that way, which might happen to be statistically applicable to a race, but not the race wholesale.
The NFL Season Ticket package has been decoupled from DirecTV for a couple of years now - you can watch your non-local games on pretty much any streaming device.
The jingoism in the US is always surprising. Why is the anthem even playing in a national game? Why should the players even be forced into this display of subservience before doing their job? It's not like they're representing the national team! What a weird society.
I was going to post this very same thing, the upside is it'll be easier with USB-C because it'll appear in far more devices over time than HDMI.

Now this is real serendipity! I was guessing that I'd have a difficult time with this integration. Jumping straight to your recommendation.
Depends on the role, for junior devs my company doesn't care if you have ever programmed before. If the person is clever, we can teach them to program. For example, the most recent hire has a masters in maths from oxford, he may have never seen Big-O, but he could certainly understand it if need be.
They have reopened the investigation on Clinton as a result of the Weiner investigation.
It is still software controlled; by software on a separate processor, and which is far harder to access than before. I'm not sure if that's a good thing.
My problem with this book is that he doesn't deal at all with the gold standard. During the timeline of his survey, the currencies were almost all gold-backed and by the end, are all fiat currencies. He completely ignores it, yet at the least he should have explained why it was not relevant.
Football games are universally 3-3.25 hours long (omitting overtime games.) They keep to the same schedule each week. Do you even watch football?

Major League Baseball's World Series is in progress. This didn't show up prominently on major news sources. It's three screens down even on the New York Daily News front page, after an article about former nightclubs of NYC. Unless you're looking for baseball news, it's invisible online.

Median age of baseball fans is 53 years and climbing. When the median age of horse racing fans passed 50 years, racetracks started closing. Baseball as a big commercial sport probably has about a decade to live.
Rather off-topic don't you think?
Thanks for sharing, it's nice to see an example of using RethinkDB with Algolia.

RethinkDB originally added changefeeds for exactly this use case, long before hitting on the idea of leveraging the feature for realtime application development. It's pretty cool to see users intuitively picking up on the suitability of changefeeds for this sort of integration.
Regarding Archimedes' chronophone, I am not sure that the premise is well-formed. I find I cannot predict what the chronophone will do because the notion of "closest analogue" is inherently ambiguous. In the worst case we cannot send any information back at all by definition.

All that being said, assuming the chronophone will let me, I'd bring their attention to the idea of the printing press. It's easily made, the benefit is obvious, and the effect is dramatic. Kind of amazing it wasn't invented earlier.
I haven't been able to do that, but I'd be interested to hear your conclusions in the forms of reasonable answers to those questions.
Just to second this observation, see "neoliberal" in the Wikipedia. Nevertheless, I understand the parent comment's point (just replace "neo-liberal" with "left-leaning").

Ask HN: Fed up with the narcissism
Hey HN,

I'm on here seeking some advice in my job. I work on a software team that is so freakin' narcissistic it's unbelievable. For the past 2 months I've felt like I'm ready to scream at the first person who crosses me.

I honestly could not care less how other people write code. I've been doing this for so long, I know that any given stylistic or architectural decision will cause me no more than 5 minutes difference in the time it takes to read a piece of code. Yet at this company, every senior dev or tech lead has their 2 cents about your work, and won't take no for an answer. This has burned me so completely out to the point where I don't even care anymore.

My wife says I should just start telling people to leave me alone, because I've clearly got a lot of bottled up anger. But I know that kind of thing would definitely get me fired for being "closed minded" or "unwilling to learn" or some other bull-crap. And the truth is, I need the job.

All the non-programmers like the product team, testers and managers are fine and wonderful people. I have no issues with them.

I'm not on here to complain so please don't understand me that way. I'm here to find a solution to a problem that is really troubling me.

Thanks!
Exactly. We should be taxing wealth and not income (or roughly speaking, unearned instead of earned income). Taxing productive activity is literally counter-productive.

This will only become a more pressing issue once automation (esp. of the transport industry) gets into full-swing. Eventually we won't have a choice in the matter.

There are a whole host of current issues that are culminating in wealth and income distribution problems: the anglosphere's property frenzy and inevitable bust; quantitive easing pumping up asset prices while doing nothing for the real economy; global corporate tax avoidance; the rise of the low-paid 'gig' economy and under-employment; fewer high paid jobs all demanding workers with ever higher levels of education (unattainable-for-many); capitalism's tendency to concentrate wealth as demonstrated by Picketty.

A crisis is brewing. People know it. Trump and Sander's - though ostensibly very different - appeal to people who recognise that for them, the current path does not lead to a great place. Crises can be good of course. They leave us no option but to make changes.
we survived wired home networks because they are expensive, and a superior IO solution (wifi) caught up quickly.

Re usb-c: good luck not using the (only) io port on your device.
Can't you tile any projection? At least can't you nicely tile all those that have a rectangular boundary?

Rotating north-wise for close-up views would work of course, but close-up you could just use a "proper" UTM projection instead. For the global view this map feels gimmicky/artsy and not useful for everyday usage.

Disclaimer: I like this work very much and I am super happy a map won this award! I just feel that it has very little use outside of design or art.
I totally forgot the docker mac integration. How is it treating you? How is the performance?

I stopped using mac a while ago to avoid performance overhead. Now i'm curious how the new Docker Mac would treat me
I stopped watching a long time ago. I hate that they feel the need to make it like a live action video game with stupid sound effects and graphics that cover most of the screen. Well, that and there's really just not much actual play happening.
Link to some supporting evidence?
Though transmission of data is handled by the main processor, Apple Pay dialogs on screen are completely rendered by the T1 to take advantage of the Secure Enclave, a portion of the chip set aside for personal information just as it is in iPhones and Apple Watch devices.

That sounds similar in concept to Intel ME, another "secure" coprocessor that can do a lot of other things that the more paranoid are freaking out over...

It also makes me wonder if these MacBook Pros also have Intel ME.
You are referencing an event more than 300 years later than the event I am speaking of. But yes, to your point, much of what was necessary to the Industrial Revolution was pioneered by the Dutch during the 1600s: contracts, fair and impartial courts, the end of legal immunity for the nobility (regarding civil contracts), modern finance, modern insurance, advanced transport, modern storage facilities, etc. This is also covered by the historian Fernand Braudel, who is worth reading.
> That describes my workplace. (But with two rather than three monitors.) Standard monitors that operate over HDMI/DVI/etc don't have USB hubs without a separate USB connection, most keyboards are the same way.

But your run of the mill Dell office monitors do have a USB hub, most often 2 ports on the back panel for keyboard/mouse and 2 ports on the side for flash drives and other transient accessories.

colanderman's point is that you should get a USB cable and use that hub instead of individually plugging everything into the laptop. Three video connections and one hub connection gets you all the connectivity you need at a desk. If you're mobile, you'll certainly need less.
I am on your side, but to play the devil's advocate, this is a case in which a way to predict loudness before they get loud is required. Is there a way to do this effectively without dipping into protected categories? Nobody wears 2am loudness on their forehead when checking in at 4pm.
My flash drives will be a minor pain in the rear, but the disks I use more often (4TB+ externals) just take a C-to-B cable and I'm done.

I don't think this is going to be as big a deal as people say. Honestly, the biggest beef I have is removing the SD card slot, because I do a lot of photo/video work.
Are you referring to: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12823449 ?

I can barely untangle all the nonsense, shifting goal posts and false authority in the single line that you wrote. What are you trying to say?
The create-react-app tool from Facebook lets you create a "modern" (air quotes yours) web app with one development dependency and zero configuration.

https://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2016/07/22/create-apps...

It's surprisingly full featured. Testing, ES6, CSS, live reload dev server, building for production ... everything you need for the majority of React based web app builds. Literally up and running in minutes. Also you can just offload all of the cognitive burden of selecting tools to people much more qualified.

Judge the whole scene by one GitHub project if you will, but the "boo hoo web development is too complicated" meme is getting a bit old now. It's mainly coming from a place of ignorance. Yes it's been a journey for web development over the past few years, but there are powerful and simple tools available now that other platforms and communities could learn from, rather than just disparage.
4 is unlucky some places. They'd probably go to 5.0 next.
Seems like you're trying to make some point. No idea what it could be though.
On the other hand, UPnP is the only currently viable strategy for average people to run devices on their home networks and control them from the internet without looping in a third party server.
This is really great research and interesting: (very roughly) how to compute a very small mask which, when applied to any image, makes the neural network misclassify it, whereas humans would notice no essential difference.

Quite remarkable.
...which is irrelevant depending on the bounds of the input size.

It boils down to optimization. There's no point in spending time optimizing for Big-O if the input size will be so small the difference between O(n²) and O(n log n) doesn't matter.

As with all optimizations, there are situations where it matters a lot. But in the real world there are plenty of situations where the time is better spent elsewhere or where there are other things that will necessitate replacing the code before the performance becomes a problem.
The vast majority of consumers don't buy a high-end laptop like a rMBP.
It is weird. I think it is in part because America is the first enlightenment nation. We have no blood or deep history binding us together, so superficial and melodramatic shows of solidarity become much more important in generating a stable sense social identity. Think of it as a bunch of deracinated individuals attempting to say "see, 'we' are a 'we'!"

The puritans were virtue-signallers par excellance, so that probably also flows through to what you see today.
Mathematicians used it for asymptotic expansions of mathematical expressions.

Its use in computer science for algorithmic complexity came later. In fact, I believe in the early TAOCP, Donald did not use big O, but instead would derive the full expression where possible.
The NFL is one organization that really needs to give up on the media blackout nonsense, and get on the streaming game. the US version of GamePass doesn't cut it. Consumers really do want live games, not restrictions saying that they can't watch anything until everything for the day has aired. They don't want wireless carrier exclusives, or expensive satellite add-ons.

The NFL needs to learn from MLB. The MBL.tv app on the Apple TV is fantastic.
Well, a similar situation exists with UTP cables, where cat5 offers 100 Mbps, cat5e offers 1000 Mbps, and cat6 offers 10000 Mbps. They all look exactly the same unless you go and read the label on the cable and are familiar with this.
You are being downvoted because you misunderstood the GPL, which is a heavy fault in the software community.

GPL says: "If you take GPL code, you must publish the whole app as GPL." In the GPL mindset, open-source is contagious. Therefore if you package GPL code with a commercial license, then you've shipped software you didn't legally have a license for, which is grounds for unlimited damages. By the way, this is why your company stays away from GPL, not "People like Matt Mullenweg".
No one can say at this point what your hypothetical future monitor will use. There's a standard, of course, but there's more than one of them, of course.

There's DisplayPort, HDMI (yes, it's different from DP), and now Thunderbolt 3 Alternate Mode for USB Type-C, and then also since it's still USB, there will also be video over USB (aka the displaylink chipset).

Alternate Mode is feature of USB Type-3 to allow a bunch of pins to be used as a host-device negotiates, keeping USB control pins intact, so Thunderbolt 3 is just Thunderbolt using the AM pins after negotiation.

I'll bet that if Apple starts making 5k-iMacs-without the-iMac (aka monitors) again, that in true Apple fashion they'll run video over Thunderbolt-only, just like the now-discontinued thunderbolt only displays did. This means there's a high likelyhood possibility they won't work with PCs, despite having a working cable.
I'm not an Apple fan, but you seem pretty harsh.

- 3d touch: gimmick

- unnatural scrolling: I presume you mean "scroll the content" not "scroll the viewport" I thought the same but when I tried it out myself I actually adapted really quickly and now find it more natural. Either way this doesn't seem like a huge investment in anything, if you don't like it turn it off.

- touch bar: I actually think this will be quite useful. It turns a row of numbered keys into a row of keys that can be matched to the application that is running. Maybe a slight downside to power users (less tactile) but I think it is a pretty reasonable feature.

- gigabit ethernet: Can't you get this over USB-C?

- slots for interacting... Maybe not right now but I think that soon everything will be USB-C. I don't really see any reason for another port.

- maybe Apple drives a new wave of people to desktop Linux: I can only hope :)

I can definitely that especially in the short term the advantages aren't clear or not significant. However I am really looking forward to the universality of USB-C and most of the other features appear to have a market so I'm not so much losing faith in Apple over all but feeling that they are moving further away from the demographic I am in.
Come Nov 1st, it will be so last month.
Not quite. Baseball is not 'hot' but that does not mean it doesn't have a solid fanbase.

The median age of 'human beings' in America is climbing :)

Here's one example: home teams getting amazing ratings:

You'd be surprised at how some of these sports have huge fab-bases without the Kardashian media noise.

Media is changing just as much as anything, and this is a key factor. NYPost/NYT have to keep up to Buzzfeed. ESPN has to keep up with Netflix/online viewership.

Sports will have a harder time because the contracts are locked up and hard to access - whereas an upstart in Film/TV can come along and disrupt.

I really had problems going this route (Ubuntu host with Windows guest). While the guest ran in VB reasonably well, trying to snapshot a baseline image and generally use VBox differencing disks quickly ran me out of space on the host SSD.

Even with a 256GB drive and a number of tweaks like hosting the Windows pagefile and temp from a passthrough disk, disabling Windows automatic updates, and using an immutable disk containing the OS install/multi-attach for copy-on-write behavior, VBox still used a ton of space to track the differences from my baseline snapshots. Even starting the VM quickly consumed 10-20GB in the new disk image. Was hard to conclude anything other than it wasn't a viable "dual workstation" setup and I capitulated and moved to Windows 10.

Sucks, because it was really quite nice to have a unix under the hood, though WSL makes this a bit more tolerable in Win 10 AU.
One thing is clear to me and that is there will be many wounded companies in the battle for attention. Pro sports and the ancillary industries surrounding it are not immune. Twenty years from now I believe we will look back at this period as peak pro sports.
Imagemagick does support some more advanced features such as deep colors, perceptually uniform color spaces (cielab) which graphicsmagick does not.

As I understand it some of the IM features are important for scientific image processing, HDRI or deep processing pipelines where rounding errors could accumulate.
...and on the wrong side. ;-)
Teams moving around for money: I couldn't agree more. I was recently living in STL and this left a really bad taste in my mouth, and I'm a Packer fan who will never have to worry about this. It really pulls to the forefront that these teams are purely profit-driven, which in professional sports is a given, but gives the appearance of excessive greed. In some ways it's the antithesis of all of those feel-good sports movies where they play through adversity to overcome.

I'd be interested in knowing how these sorts of stunts play out in a more macro sense. As a whole, it may be a net profit for the NFL, but I wonder if it's more of a medium-term win.

Is there any work being done to improve the installation experience on macs?

I love the software, but getting it up and running in OSX can be painful.
It does however allow you to execute code in another process.

CreateRemoteThread also allows you to do this, quite straightforwardly.
The proliferation of various ports and interfaces has been disturbing, even in the PC arena where Thunderbolt is rather hypothetical.

Displays alone drive me insane these days. Twenty years ago, you had a VGA connector, and that was it. Then came DVI, which allegedly worked better with TFT panels. Then came HDMI, but there is also DisplayPort which appears to be similar, yet different. I have not seen a display or beamer that will accept DisplayPort input. Does such a thing even exist?

And laptops have, of course, the "mini" version of these, so there is mini-DisplayPort (which looks suspiciously like ThunderBolt) and there is mini-HDMI (which looks suspiciously like USB-C).

I am still telling myself this is a transition, and in five years everything will be USB-C. Once we are there, that sounds like a nice future, but I am not certain we'll get there in time. (Plus, a tea leaf got stuck my Galaxy Tab's USB-C port while riding the train - it took me an hour to scrape and shake everything out before that thing could be charged again. Something that never happened to me with good old USB ports for some reason, even though they were much larger.)
I'm not an expert but my understanding is closer to your dedicated pins option. Basically everything that connects over USB-C starts with the USB-C handshake, after that alternative modes allows USB-C to get out of the way and (most of) the pins of the cable can be used for whatever the devices want.
You didn't buy an iPhone in 'a while', but you imply that you own one where you can (unintentionally) use 3D touch, so either a 6S or a 7. So you didn't buy an iPhone since... last year?
If this were true, then escape analysis wouldn't be so important in Go code. But it is: the lack of it is the reason why gccgo is slow in practice.
How would seeing through sound be better than seeing through touch? Like with http://www.radiolab.org/story/seeing-tongues/
The reason why someone would use something like Wix is that they don't have to deal with source code. So they wouldn't lose any business if they released their source code. They might even gain good will and popularity by doing so.

The article is pretty good, but this amount of hyperbole is really unforgivable: "If you’re not careful, you can neuter or even damage your devices by using the wrong cable." First of all, the linked post says that C to C cables do not have this problem at all. The issue comes about in relation to how older standards report allowable power draw via resistor configuration. This is a problem that can only occur with USB A to USB C and also USB A to USB B.
I think the question of what's backing the units used to denominate wealth is pretty orthogonal to that of inequality, itself.
Why not just have a hard switch to cut the power to the camera. It is pretty low tech. Would be hard to hack without flipping the switch. No way camera could operate without power.
