Even as a kid I always wondered why the heck Acme Inc. seemed to offer lines of credit to just about anyone, including homeless coyotes living in the desert.

Their sheer range of product offerings was also astounding, as was their apparent complete lack of after sales support and user training for said products.

They also seemed to have an incredible logistics team able to get huge and complex items out to the middle of nowhere in record time. Never once did the coyote have to wait a long time for delivery, or have to converse with shipping support reps to see why his package was never delivered.

The Windows 1Password client actually works fine under Wine, including its browser integration. But the Windows version is't nearly as nice as the Mac one, and you get the usual Wine sorts of issues.

Biggest one is that the password prompt will pop up and have a blinking text cursor even though it's not actually the active window, just the active window within the Windows layer. Whoops, hope you didn't type your master password anywhere leaky.
Amex automagically doubles the warranty period for up to a year, even for their 'generic' cards. $249 to cover years 2 and 3 aren't really worth it (by then you've survived the crib death portion of the bathtub failure curve, and the hardware (that is cycle-for-cycle) has depreciated to the point where I don't bother with AppleCare any more.

It's generally accepted that post-IBM Thinkpads are less "I can take an 18 oz claw hammer to it" than the T40 era tanks[1] but I'm hard enough on my hardware where I managed to bend the corner within 3 months of owning my first-gen MBA 13" by hucking into a TSA container in a morning grog to catch a red eye.

Looks like I misread your original comment. Sorry! Thanks for clarifying.
Aside from the sprites, which are 2D pixel art I bought from a third party, everything is generated algorithmically. You can find many examples of people doing this kind of algorithmic generation, sometimes to great effect, on shader toy (i.e. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMpG6qEb8js) and other places. I went down the path of procedural generation simply because I am not a great artist, and generating these assets by hand would have been pretty much impossible (given that they are volumentric and contain millions of unique voxels).

For technical people, I find this method of generating art to be quite empowering. If you can describe things in logical/mathematical terms, you can generate whatever your mind can think up. It generally is not going to win over a skilled artist for most applications, but even traditional pipelines often employ many procedural techniques.

Your 2 paragraph criticism of one a one sentence comment is way more obnoxious and contributes less.

What he was trying to do is summarize and give a one word interpretation/other way of looking at it, not trying to do something insidious and inane as trying to steal credit for an HN comment.

Sometimes it helps to have a point summed up in the briefest possible way. What never helps, though, is posting inane accusations of ulterior motives to HN comments.

> but only if I subsequently break them down into quarterly resolutions so I can evaluate them more often. A whole year is too long a time to check up on your goals.

I agree. I've had pretty good success in terms of building habits by sticking a calendar next to the door and marking off every day where I go for a run, or keeping daily/weekly records of expenses (again, with a physical chart stuck somewhere I have to look at it regularly) in order to stick to a budget.
I'm not denying that, I'm addressing the common misconception that it becomes a handicap past a certain point, or that it comes at the expense of some other traits.
That makes sense, Venezuela's economy, social structure, and political systems are also dying. It would be crazy if currency based on those things were not dying as well. If they were a collapsing star, they'd be rapidly approaching r=2M.
Why not move the child up to the grade level to which he/she performs?

Because we need to be socialized by spending time surrounded by kids our own age. Seriously, that's what they said when I was in elementary school. Eventually the administration allowed me to skip one grade -- but only because I was born in February, and thus only barely younger than the youngest kids in my new cohort.

I'm not a pedagogist so I can't comment on the accuracy of the theory in general, but in my case it was absolutely counterproductive; I was socially closer to my intellectual peers than I ever was to my chronological peers, and rather than "socializing" me, keeping me with kids close to my age merely taught me to treat them with contempt.
"Vastly more civilians are killed by police than vice-versa"

Sure, but their job is literally go find the most dangerous people in the country, and make them give up their freedom.

Imagine yourself outside the headquarters of a gang of meth cooks, known to be armed and high. Unfortunately, yeah, people get shot. Lets not pretend like these are kind, innocent people. I know sometimes their relatives will say that on tv[1]. Imagine what its like to deal with hardcore criminals on a regular basis.

"it's not appropriate in many situations where it's deployed"

I agree. The problem is, how do you know in advance? Peaceful protests can turn violent in the blink of an eye. When they do need the gear, they needed it 5 minutes ago. I would love to hear a solution that doesnt involve the police running back to their cars, right at the moment that things get out of hand.

"They are a tiny minority of protestors"

Agreed. But again, how to know which ones? Now you can see why they want to monitor social media(not taking a position here). If 99 people are saying, "grab a coat and join us for a peaceful protest", and 1 is saying "grab rocks and head the park", well, now maybe we know who to watch.

Given the state of macOS virtualization with KVM, and how easy it is to find processors/motherboards with VT-d, I don't understand why people bother trying to get it to run on bare metal. Instead of having to choose almost every component super carefully, you just need to be careful about your graphics card and linux support for everything else.

The main strike against it I can think of is the performance hit for nested virtualization if you want to use something like Parallels or Docker inside macOS, but you can virtualize "sideways" without too much more effort in a lot of cases.

I wonder if remote work can help with that. It may have the potential to reduce the second part. I'm in SF, but a lot of our engineers are remote. With enough remote work in SF available, living in VA or wherever won't tie you so strongly to a tiny handful of companies, lowering the critical mass of employers needed in a location needed to kick-start a virtuous cycle.

> Telegram has, according to Reuters, been actively compromised by people working for oppressive regimes (Iran, in particular).

I just wanted to add some details: someone checked the Iranian phone numbers range at Telegram servers and learned which of them are registred with Telegram. Message contents or contact lists were not obtained.

I guess this attack could be done with other apps that use phone numbers and phone contact lists for identification.

> It's never happened before and it won't happen for this

It has happened that economic growth has untethered itself from fossil fuel growth almost everywhere in the Western world.

I think consumer pressure can do something, apart from anything people just using it as an excuse to save money will do something. I agree that most of it has to be systemic, but there's a combination there. You need for instance cheaper storage and solar, more efficient a.c., better insulation, and so on, but you also need people to want to put in the effort to buy or install it.
TL;DR: switching out fiscal conservatism, antisemitism and homophobia in favour of populism, anti-globalism and anti-muslim xenophobia.
> A larger danger for Apple, I think, is affordability.

This was is interesting because Apple had previously been reducing the costs and expanding the options available for entry level Macs. This makes me think they will be doing a major revamp of the non-Pro line next year that may include moving them to ARM. Moving the higher volume consumer products to ARM first makes sense for a lot of reasons. I think it's even plausible we could see some type of macOS/ARM compatibility come to the iPad next year. In all the hysteria about the Mac recently everyone has kind of forgotten that the iPad is Apple's biggest problem child right now.
> Let's be clear, NORAD did not drop the ball on 9/11...NORAD's primary goal has never been to stop terrorism/hijacking from occurring on passenger planes within the United States, but rather to warn of enemy planes and missiles from _entering_ the US.

I have no idea whether NORAD deserved any blame, but Wikipedia suggests NORAD's mission includes scrambling jets to deal with hijacked airplanes:

> Standing orders on September 11 dictated that, upon receiving a request for assistance from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) would normally order escort aircraft to approach and follow an aircraft that was confirmed to be hijacked in order to assure positive flight following, report unusual observances, and aid search and rescue in the event of an emergency.[1] The 9/11 Commission determined that on the morning of September 11, the FAA deliberately did not adequately notify NORAD of the hijackings of Flights 11, 77, 93, or 175 in time for escort aircraft to reach the hijacked flights.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._military_response_during_...

I mean, I guess you could argue that's not their "primary mission", but then I don't think that is in conflict with the OP's assertion that they "dropped the ball".

When I read the Readme, I was thinking this could get a lot of limitations of store app updates. (As long as this thing can use a cached version of your json if it can't connect to the Interwebs).

Seconded -- need better documentation.

Also, the demo instance has some injected javascript, so commenting on the dashboard sends you to a pornography site.
never been to richmond but i could see it being a problem if a lot of their companies are in the same industry. a lot of these smaller tech hubs have only 1 or 2 "types" of companies.
In addition to this, I would add that competition can take many different forms. I think it's very useful when it inspires everyone to do better and everyone can shake hands afterwards because they enjoyed the journey. It's less than useless when people use it as an excuse to cut each other down without improving anyone's performance, which is disappointingly often.

I've heard Android pulling apps that try to update themselves outside of the store. I was thinking this would be a great way to get by the update process in general, since you could cache the json if off-line or pull a new version if you're online.

Of course with that extreme of a view, web views would break the rules too. :-P

In any case, it's a cool project. I hope to see more production stuff using it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Open Society?

The same Open Society which is an umbrella for organizations like w2eu (http://news.sky.com/story/sky-finds-handbook-for-eu-bound-mi...), which supports massive illegal immigration to Europe?

The same Open Society, which founder and main sponsor openly instructs EU leaders to let in at least 1000000 migrants from Africa and Middle East per year and to establish special EU-wide tax to maintain them?

And now this guy is going to make money on book, which describes the mayhem his fellows brought to Europe on?

It's interesting to me that everyone seems to think all world currencies are not dying.

The problem is the "currency" the worlds been sold into.

Case in point... it takes us all about an average of $2.00 dollars for a gallon of gas. On average right now. Probably more on the coasts.

If I take one of my Morgan silver dollars, and melt it for the silver content I can get as of today roughly 8 gallons and a little more for that one silver dollar.

2 paper, fiat, federal reserve notes for 1 gallon OR 1 Morgan silver dollar for 8+ gallons.

The problem is the currency is worthless. And is inflated away each year to lose more and more value.

So IMO the problem is the currency. It's worthless and bankers are able to devalue it at will.
Please do. I'm surprised there isn't already one.
Ah, thought you might be referring to actually writing component-based logic and UIs.

Yeah, React is very much a pick-and-choose-for-your-own-situation kind of a tool. Somewhat true for Vue also. This is both a strength and a weakness, somewhat depending on how much you like to be in control of exactly what pieces you're using.

Agree with the other commenters. It was fun to live the collegiate life for 3 weeks. Surprisingly, they have strong traditions despite only being in session 6 weeks during the summer.

I went two times. You only took one class for three weeks, but you spent A LOT of time in that class and in study sessions. It actually makes college look pretty lightweight to some extent.

Other than that, there were physical and social activities. It's fun just bonding with some other odd cats in college dorms. At times, I just wanted to hang out with the other kids instead of going to class. It was summer!

I took a cryptology class with a professor who worked at the NSA. We started with the easiest ciphers and progressed through to the German Enigma, which we solved as a final project.

The other class was probability and game theory. It didn't do that great of a job clearly, since I'm still terrible at probability. Sidenote: I confess I don't even really believe in probability as a strategy for making singular decisions. I later learned, thanks to the Internet, that this is a debated philosophical problem :)

Another year, instead of CTY, I did this lighter weight version of it where you take more classes but each is less time-intensive. I remember thinking it was really easy and not very worthwhile academically. The social life was definitely better.
