Thank you for the kind words! For what it's worth, I have considered joining my country's reserve army. It's only a few weeks of commitment per year (and a couple months of basic training). Friends of mine have already joined, they almost unanimously enjoy it a lot. You get to meet people from all walks of life that often share little else than the desire to serve. That aspect has also been of the major reasons re-instituting mandatory military draft for a few months to a year is highly popular in France. Conscription has been said to tear down social barriers between classes and reinforce a common sense of civic duty. Whether this is true or not, I don't know. That's an old idea that has massive support in the french society.

And even those who dislike the idea of having a trained conscript army in addition to regular troops have their own version of conscription. The overall tone is the same, only the military context is replaced with community work.

Either way, it is hard to imagine the shape and form of such organization because of the sheer scale at which it has to operate to be even remotely efficient. I agree with what you said about college. You meet people, lots of people, and in fact lots of similar people. There is relatively little space for the kind of variance you see in high-school when the members of the community are filtered by their performance on a standardized test anyway.-

There's only one situation that requires tricking the AI to open a door for you (what some might legitimately consider an exploit).

Other than that (which I consider a design flaw) it's entirely possible to get by without killing anyone (though using non-lethal weapons to render people unconscious is of course still necessary at various times).

I'm a native English speaker. Once in a blue moon, although meaning "very rarely", is fine since I'm using it to say "every so often". But, yes, if we want to nitpick, "which even trips me up very rarely" doesn't sound great. Although, "which even trips me up every so often" does work.

The baby is "fällig" maybe could be "back"-translated (from that translation) to English carrying the sense of the awkwardness as

The US government has committed to meeting environmental targets such as emissions limits, and can be held accountable for meeting them. It also licenses and regulates industrial activity, and therefore can reasonably be held accountable for the results of that activity.

Or are you arguing that the government should have no accountability, oversight, responsibility or say in any of the activity of it's citizens?

It's not up to the plaintiffs to say what specific thing the government or individuals should or should not do - switch off this light bulb, don't drive on that journey, don't build that factory. It's the government's responsibility to maintain the environment in a sustainable way and implement policies to do so. If it's not doing so, or worse not even trying to do so or doing so in a willfully negligent manner, then it should be held accountable for that. The same should be true of any of the government's responsibilities.
Recently bought a Dell Precision M5510 that comes with Ubuntu preinstalled. Aside from the various linux-specific issues I noticed characters sometimes appearing twice when typing on the keyboard (external keyboard works just fine). A quick search tells me this is an issue with a whole range of Dell laptops; they've been having these problems since at least 2009. The popular XPS 13/15 models are also affected. My keyboard has been replaced, to no avail. Now they want me to send it in, but reports on their forums indicate that doesn't get it fixed either.

This is a warning to all coders/fast typists here: stay away from Dell's laptops!
This is not all that new of an idea. I had one of these around 2005/2006: https://www.quietpc.com/hfx-mini-metal - completely fanless and (virtually) silent - back in those days there were no SSDs, so one had to content onesself with slow spindle speed HDDs mounted on soft rubber to minimise vibrations.

Despite the fact that the mfr appears to think it's a "revolutionary" idea, I'm not really seeing any material difference between that and the case above, from over 10 years ago. Perhaps I'm wrong though?
Hold on. The NYT just admitted bias recently regarding their reporting on the election, and an opinion piece talks about 'Liberal Intolerance' in the NYT, but now FB is almost as culpable due to false stories? I still think there is a higher signal-to-noise ratio when there are many people able to debunk a piece on FB or other social media, than when a hardcopy, accepted as trusted source such as the NYT once was, posts a story.

The fly-over states were discounted by most media, and people are still reeling from the election results they can't believe. People raise the popular vote in political conversations, not realizing that almost all of Hillary's popular vote differential came from NY and CA, again urban coastal vs. the fly-over states. People are in denial about what other Americans aside from them felt about all of this.

I predicted a Trump victory in July and September publicly on Twitter, and I am no fan of Trump, or Hillary for that matter. People laughed at me. I was born and raised in a working-class neighborhood in Brooklyn, so it came from purely talking to other Americans in my travels in the US and overseas, and I am no journalist tasked to go out and get the Five Ws [1].

When RPi initially released it's was was fully proprietary with only open source library that talked to the driver. Most of code and OpenGL ES implementation itself simply run outside of Linux on specialized core.

I suppose it's part of the same blob that manage both bootloader startup, display control, etc. RPi SoC built the way when GPU initialized before everything else and manage the boot process.

Then they released source for the actual OES implementationm but since it's run on core with limited capabilities it's hard to improve it much. Shortly after Broadcom hired Eric Anholt to work open source kernel driver and Mesa-based GL implementation that will actually run on Linux.
Ask HN: Metaphor for describing how an online product works
Need to describe how an online product works in plain english (servers, requests, frontend, cloud, backend, APIs, etc..) to non-tech people.

How would you describe it? Is there a good metaphor that I could use for this?

Humans usually can't do your 2. either. In some cases, people may be able to recognize things based on descriptions alone, but those are typically simple combinations of known entities.

I don't think I agree with 'very close to perfect'. Just entering a random sentence I got the following:

Humans are far better than other species at altering our environment to suit our preferences.

Die Menschen sind weit besser als andere Arten bei der Veränderung unserer Umgebung, um unsere Vorlieben.

The German is pretty much wrong and the actual meaning of the original sentence is hard to deduce in my opinion. That being said, computer translation has come very far in the last decade.

Yes, but neither Obama or Trump controlled the surveillance complex. They controlled Obama and will most likely control Trump also.

At least someone controlled Obama, who seemed to be a clever and liberal guy, and not someone who turned out to be one of the worst war criminals and offender of liberal or constitutional provisions. Obama could only control soft issues, the "complex" didn't care about. Or as it was leaked they even mandated the people to lead these soft issues also. And they will most likely control Trump as well, as he is just another new inexperienced outsider.

But different to Obama, Trump at least talked about clearing the house a bit. Obama also made some promises, but on the very first days he betrayed them with the Raytheon lobbyist Lynn, violating his own new ethic rules. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_J._Lynn_III#Deputy_Sec...

2 is no less disprovable than the objections to climate science - and can be argued in favour of with identical arguments. Yet it is for some reason less credible than climate change denial.
It's because it gets the most plausible answer, even if it's only a small chance of being correct. If there are not that many words, there are only a few objects that could be draw with a L shape like that. I mean, even if you draw something else starting with a L shape, it will probably be a slight different L shape (with a curve, for example). I think that's it, doesn't really mean it's overfitting, it would mean that if the probability was really high.
You didn't draw the tusks, that's why.

".. content consumption appliances like .."

That's still quite a hyperbole isn't it?

Is 40Gbps Thunderbolt 3 for content consumption? Is 3.1/2.1Gbps SSD for content consumption? Edit: Is a super accurate and wide color gamut screen for content consumption?

"Next step of this internal plan involves processors."

What exactly are you alluding to here? Apple designing its own processor? x86 or ARM? Do you think Apple will go through another architecture switch on macOS?

Laptops are going to become even more integrated. That's just physics. Long, wide traces are not good for either power consumption or bandwidth.

But how that will manifest in future MacBooks is hard to say. They could still go for off-the-shelf components and packages (probably Intel will start to deliver processors with stacked or silicon interposer bonded RAM). But it would make some sense for them to design their own processors. Though Intel is still really far ahead in semiconductor process and processor architecture. I'm not sure they can come close enough to justify it.
I drive but rarely, and finally had a chance last month to use my phone's voice-prompted turn-by-turn navigation mode. It was great! Like any human navigator I've ever worked with, except never hesitant or uncertain and always on the ball with the next turn well in advance of reaching it.

I really have no idea why anyone would want to navigate by looking at a moving map display. If you know where you're going, you're far better off to keep your eyes on the road and use the voice prompts to get there. If you don't know where you're going - well, that's a bigger problem, and one that no navigation system will solve.

Ask HN: Which code editor do you use and why?
There have been quite a few simulator studies that have shown significantly worse driving for cell phone users. Granted it's a jump from that to the real world. I remember one from a while back that showed that cell phone users were as bad as drunk drivers with a relatively low intoxication but they were bad in different ways (distraction vs. aggression).
I'm sure there must be similar studies in real world settings or at least fenced of tracks or something (I only remember because I researched 3d simulation and these studies showed up).

Figuring out the cause of an accident post accident in a methodically clean (and legal) way is probably non-trivial though. I don't think it's horrible to hypothesize that more accidents could be related to some recent tech trend. I'd say texting would be a good variable conduct some research on (as opposed to cell phone calls etc.). Obviously the author went beyond formulating a hypothesis though.
Yes, that's kinda the point. Touch screens are not like any other "material" interface we know. Read through the Material Design intro sometime - it's an interesting read regardless of whether you agree with their thinking.

I cannot imagine 2-5 years from now and video commenting not becoming a default in comment sections but I do not have a great reason for it and it is just a cloud of feeling and vague reasons, am I wrong and missing something here?

I was just thinking about the Concorde last week. I just spent 48 hours door to door with layovers and car trips from NJ to East Java, Indonesia. The flight from NY to Hong Kong is 15 plus hours, and from Hong Kong to Indonesia is 5 plus hours.

I have been doing these types of flights for 8 years, and would gladly pay for a 4 to 6 hour flight, or my company would justify it by having me at meetings earlier and shorter trips (less hotel stays etc...).

Agreed, I'm not saying government is not responsible for it, they provide grants for renewable energy, create power plants, give tax cuts for people with own solar panels etc. But it's up to people how that energy and material is used, is it wasted or used efficiently. So far, we're great at wasting everything.

The first mistake was for a free software project to require a proprietary one to participate in development.

Bitkeeper's sole claim of ownership moral or legal was to the bitkeeper software which nobody violated. What Tridge did was come up with another way for the owners of the relevant data to access their own information something wholly reasonable and justified.

What you dismiss as a stunt proved in a stroke how much of a mistake the relationship with Bitkeeper was.

This is approximately like sony records telling you that you can't take your cd and put it in a Samsung stereo and you defending sony except no reasonable person supposes that creators of material objects aquire moral rights to control the use thereof.
I was reading the comments of the article and I came across an interesting thought.

Whilst we in first world countries may be able to protest against our employers or try and steer them away from non-ethical actions.

What happens when the employer takes away the assignment in question and gives the work to an off-shore company, who's only obligation is to get paid? Where the developers of said off-shore company's obligation is to get paid so they can eat?

Do you think off-shore developers are going to have the same moral stances of a first world developer? I don't think so.

I know there are a couple of voices in this thread who think they can be that knight in shining armor, a bit like Don Quixote. However, you can't rail too much. Lest you find yourself outcast, side-lined or even fired?

I thought it was an interesting situation to ponder.
The policy of predetermining a narrative and looking for news that will support it is virtually guaranteed to produce a non-representative sample. You have a giant bin full of balls that is so large that it contains at least a little bit of every possible color and decide you want to report that the bin is mostly red balls, so you tell your reporters to look for red balls and report anytime they find one. You then use your sample as evidence that in fact the population of the bin is mainly red balls.

It's hard to imagine that Ivy League grads who pride themselves on being so much smarter and valuing science so much more than the rest of us would accidentally mistake this process for actual analysis of evidence in search of the truth. It's almost as if that wasn't their objective.
