I've seen self encrypting SSDs, and I'm wondering why SD Cards with hardware encryption aren't already available. Is there a technical limitation that would render it impossible to build a storage card that has the ability to encrypt/decrypt data transparently to the device it is installed in?

"a catchphrase can be trademarked, but only for the protection of its use in connection with a particular product or services. ... The mere act of speaking a catchphrase isn’t, on its own, an act of commerce, so a trademark wouldn’t cover or protect you from someone else just saying your phrase." https://www.gerbenlaw.com/blog/can-you-trademark-a-catchphra...

HBO probably would be within their rights to trademark "winter is coming" but it's still DMCA abuse because the DMCA isn't for trademarks and this appears to be a legit use.

Oh, sorry but you didn't do very good job :)
> If we dig up all the carbon in the ground, burn all the gas, coal and oil then we wind up in a 4,000+ ppm CO2 world that the Earth hasn't seen since 40M years ago in the Eocene. In 200-300 years that would melt Antarctica

The bigger problem here is that at 4,000+ ppm CO2, a good chunk of people will simply suffocate. Have you ever tried to do perform work that requires high cognitive load in a poorly ventilated room?

Now multiply the effects of that x3, and realize that there's no escape from this, anywhere on the planet. You can't simply open a window and let in that fresh 400 ppm air anymore.

Evolution might start selecting for individuals that are successful without higher cognitive function, aka selecting for physically fit imbeciles that can function in a 4,000 ppm CO2 world.

That's a hypothetical scenario, of course. Western Civilization will be long gone before CO2 levels reach anywhere near 4k.

Ignore the children. Coq is a fantastic tool!

It's unfortunate people think of Coq as an academic language. I really think it's something more people should pull out at the workspace and not confine it to college experimentation.

However the academic side of it is pretty slick. First, it's amazing how a few dozen lines of Coq can help explain the ins-and-outs of Hoare logic. (https://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/sf/current/HoareAsLogic....). If you're into some really heady stuff and into homotopic types, the HoTT/Coq community has been explosive lately. While it's a great community, they can be a little particular when it comes to pull requests. Don't take it personally,

Writing secure software will become a huge priority over the next few decades. There are many tools out there to create verifiable software, but I suspect there will always an opening for someone who can crank out rock solid Coq.
My advice for those who want to learn Latin: Don't. It's a horrible language.

What kind of style annotations? Markdown can already do bold, italic, and in some implementations, ~~strikethrough~~ and ^superscript.

Anything much more complicated than that I think risks jeopardizing Markdown's readability in plain text format and intuitive simplicity. Markdown is meant to be focused more on content than style.
Except that they're not implementing safety standards - they're just making the problem less visible. It's like if, instead of implementing a reasonable Health & Safety organisation with teeth, they forced companies to hire people not related to the local community to kill by negligence instead, making the deaths less hurtful as they're mostly happening to "somebody else".
The only Sony system I've even seen out in the wild was at one of those video game bars that had it set up in a motion room with the Wii U and DDR where all the games were not seated. It was down for almost 50% of the time and, at least on the TV that was mirroring the view, there was stuttering every 2 or 3 seconds that someone was playing. I never got a chance to use it myself, so it might be awesome, but my initial cursory experience with it was not positive. I also do not know anyone that owns it personally and I am largely involved in my local VR community.

The apps don't really matter. I was the Android lead at Gilt and we often talked about open sourcing our app. We ended up open sourcing our iOS one (https://github.com/gilt/cleanroom). We were a company with a thousand employees, most of them not writing code. If you wanted to compete with us, copying our app was 5% of the overall effort, and what would you really get from our app that connects to our (closed source) backend anyway? The upside was enormous in terms of recruiting, retention, and keeping engineers excited.

Kickstarter is in an even better position. Their defendable advantage is the network effect of being the go-to place for crowd sourcing.
My preferred solution for a variety of these is that you buy a transmitter from Amazon, and the drone tries to home in on it once it gets to your address. The ideal transmitter would be wide and flat, so the drone can just drop packages on it, and so any place you could fit it also has a reasonable chance of having enough clearance. You could incentivize buying them using the same mechanics as Amazon's dash buttons.

Doesn't help with complex patio furniture though, and ceilings are a genuinely hard problem. (Most apartments in Seattle are like that too.)
This is really insightful. Does this fallacy have an well known name?
Why does this seem to be the completely opposite reaction to what I see on Reddit? Over there, everyone seems to think that Oculus' funding of VR titles means that Oculus has won the hearts of the dev community. I don't really see that myself, but it seems like it's constantly repeated over there.

Can any HNers recommend a cheap and accurate vitamin D test I can do at home? I asked my doctor for a vitamin D test at my last checkup and he warned me that my insurance probably wouldn't pay for it since "many people are asking for one these days without any symptoms of deficiency". Since I had no idea what the lab might end up charging me for it (in the U.S.) I decided against getting the test.

Washington state has no state income tax, which in California is a little under 10%: https://www.tax-brackets.org/californiataxtable

Works out to $9k according to this for a single filer: https://smartasset.com/taxes/california-tax-calculator#8TRRj... -- so your additional income is more like $11k, or just under $1k / mo. In my experience, the difference in housing is far more than $1k/mo, so you come out ahead in Seattle.

EDIT: Looks like I forgot about California's other taxes on payroll, so it's actually even more in Seattle's favor.
I think a lot of it is class dynamics, as well as geography. Detroit is very spread out and most white collar workers who work in the city live in the suburbs - Royal Oak, Bloomfield, Clarkston, etc.

The areas being gentrified by young professionals that would be considered "Detroit" are concentrated in the Downtown and Midtown districts. Hamtramck is in the gentrification process as well, but it's considered a separate city.

Basically the fact that the newly-relocated white collar workers are all spread out and are offset by the mostly blue-collar old guard likely explains why it wouldn't make the top of the "Brain concentration" index.

Ann Arbor, on the other hand, makes more sense because its geography is so much more centralized, and is only supported by a few bedroom communities (Dexter, Selene, and Chelsea)

It's early for me, but so far she has been behind me 100%. She supported me quitting my FT job that brought in 75% of our income when our first child had just been born to switch to freelancing. I think the key here is that the benefits of this change weren't just felt by me: not only did our income (security) go up, but I had more time to support her in child-rearing efforts and was generally a happier person, so I think these benefits earned trust for the next steps.

She is now also supporting me in dialing-down my freelancing efforts (and therefore our income) to focus on bootstrapping a small startup, even as we now have two young children. Outcome unknown, but I keep her posted and we talk about the business (ideas, ups, downs) on a regular basis.

That said, I myself am a very risk-averse person and we both are the kinds of people that have always lived frugally or "within our means". This means that, as a family, we have a very low "burn rate" and our runway on savings is very long. So the "risk" of failure is not really that high. We both know that if disaster struck (and yes, we have insurance too), I could get a 9-5 job almost instantly (as much as that might suck).

I think one thing to remember is that your spouse is only going to support you as long as your decisions benefit both of you (in the long run, at least). You want more time to work on a side-project? What are you going to change in your life so that your spouse is also getting some benefit?

Anyone wanting to delve a bit more into this type of relationship, I recommend listening to the Zen Founder podcast (http://zenfounder.com). Rob Walling (Startups for the Rest of Us, Microconf, and someone who's insight and opinion I respect greatly) and his wife Sherry talk about a lot of founder issues, but I find that the candid back and forth between them gives you a great look inside their relationship dynamic. They don't always agree, but they trust each other. That's what counts the most.
Self-checking a car interior between rides should be one of the easiest computer vision tasks imaginable: fixed camera angles, fixed scene and any differences in outside lighting could be drowned with a strong internal flash (which could even double as a minor privacy improvement if the cameras were tailored to match the light intensity of that flash to be practically blind without).
Why are you putting words in my mouth? I'm not suggesting anything like that. I'm suggesting that the government look into different solutions in addition to this. The CO2/kwh of coal is the highest of any modern energy source. If they're willing to spend money powering jet engines to shoot the smog higher into the atmosphere, why won't they transition to using a cleaner energy source that requires less money to maintain?
Where are you getting 13.3%? Most likely a software developer is going to be in the 9.3% bracket. And it is also a graduated bracket system so you are only paying that 9.3% on income over $51K.

See https://smartasset.com/taxes/california-tax-calculator

On a $150K income you are going to be paying an effective rate for CA around 7%.
A skill in just about any physical competition is perishable. If you don't keep up with it, you won't be as good at it as you once were. I have only casually played darts, but I have to think this isn't much different from hitting baseballs, shooting free throws, or hitting a golf ball. It takes practice to get good, and it takes practice to stay good, especially at the highest levels of competition.
Exactly! "Customers pay us more than our competition. They clearly love us and we're doing something right" is a nuanced point hard to make in an ad, but it needs to be made somehow. That's probably why Statefarm et al focus on their customer service in their ads, but those ads don't sound so catchy.
If you have ever seen hermit crabs do a multiple shell swap, that's about how it works. In areas where housing is cheap enough to have younger homeowners, the sale of a big home can often depend on a chain of other sale contingencies that depend on whether a first-time homebuyer can scrape up a $15k down payment.

So you have the 1/1 homes for young singles, 2/1 homes for young couples, 3/2 and larger homes for families, and then maybe a step-down option for empty-nesters.

My chain broke in 2007, when I got canned in a buyout, had to move to find work, and couldn't sell either the 3/2 or the previous 2/1 (rented out) at a decent price, and all my accumulated equity vanished. I would probably also be on my 3rd or 4th house by now if I hadn't been busted back down to tenant.

I definitely can't afford SV home prices, even with a higher salary. I need at least a 3/2, and don't have enough millions in the bank to get one anywhere near SF Bay.

Homes aren't the retirement plan around here, but the retirement plans definitely factor in not paying rents or mortgages after about age 55.
Why not? From a purely nihilistic/hedonistic point of view, I can honestly say the strategy with the most personal utility to me is to shrug and say "whattyagonnado" .
Thanks! This AND trick is great. Actually makes me want to go back to assembly-level programming.
Yeah, that, plus all the alt-right weirdos.
Not if rent/property prices are a major economic factor for you. Obviously you can find deals if you know someone or get lucky, but housing prices have gone back to pre-recessionary craziness. As a homeowner I regularly get mail from real estate agents offering to get the best price if I want to sell; over the last 5 years prices in my neighborhood have increased 300%. Yes, three hundred per cent. A small one bedroom apartment in this nice-but-not-fancy North Oakland neighborhood typically starts around $2000/mo.

There's just too much money chasing too few housing units, and while I am seeing a fair amount of new residential construction in the last few years it's only a fraction of the amount demanded.

Branches are cheap. Stash is cheap. Use them.

"Liberals" have stood in the way, in their own way.

I think most people just have the 5-6 obscure/painful commands they execute more than once a year stuck in an alias, and don't have a strong enough need for Yet Another Thing to Install on fresh systems.

It's also sometimes hard to know what exactly these extra commands will do if you don't use them often enough to know, so safe use still involves checking the docs, at which point you may as well google for "git [description of thing I need to do]"

Go out on the balcony with a phone app that prompts you to take pictures of the view in all directions. It sends these along with GPS coordinates to Amazon.

Drone flies to GPS coordinates and then descends until it's views 'match' those in the pictures you took.
I asked for a vitamin D test on the NHS in the UK. I was not offered one, but I was offered a blood calcium test. Because I had been supplementing already for several months, when I tested normal blood calcium (with normal diet including dairy), this ruled out vitamin D overdose, and I was recommended to continue supplementing. This might be a cheaper option.

Modulo by a constant doesn't require a division, you can instead use multiplications, shifts, adds and subtracts. This transform is typical for compilers. For example, this is what gcc targetting x86_64 does to perform % 17 on the unsigned value in %edi:

movl	$-252645135, %edx
movl	%edi, %eax
mull	%edx
movl	%edx, %eax
shrl	$4, %eax
movl	%eax, %edx
sall	$4, %edx
addl	%edx, %eax
subl	%eax, %edi
What If Your Digital Agency Is Cheating On Your Startup?
Yes, but. Keep ripeness in mind. It's very easy to spend effort in this area "too soon". So shape projects with care.

I run a Vive on linux. Which required my own stack. Which took excessive time, and is limiting, but has some road-less-traveled benefit of altered constraints. So I've gone to talks, and done dev, wearing Vive with video passthrough-AR, with emacs and RDP, driven by an old laptop's integrated graphics. Yay. But think 1980's green CRT (on pentile, green is higher res). In retrospect, it was a sunk-cost project-management garden path.

There's been a lot of that. One theme of the last few years, has been people putting a lot of effort and creativity into solutions to VR tech constraints, only to have the constraints disappear on a time scale that has them wishing they had just waited, and used the time to work on something else. It's fine for patent trolls (do something useless to plunder future value), and somewhat ok for academics (create interesting toy), but otherwise a cause for caution.

So on the one hand, I suggest that if the center tenth of VR displays had twice their current resolution, everything else being current tech, we would already be starting on a "I can have so many screens! And they're 3D! And..." disruption in software development tooling. But that's still a year or two out. Pessimistically, perhaps even more, if VR market growth is slow.

In the mean time, what? Anything where the UI isn't the only bottleneck (work on the others). Or which can work in 2D, or in 3D-on-2D screen (prototype on multiple screens). Or is VR, but is resolution insensitive, and doesn't require a lot of "if I had waited 6 months, I wouldn't have had to roll my own" infrastructure. Or which sets you up interestingly for the transition (picture kite.com, not as a 2D sidebar, but generating part of your 3D environment). Or which can be interestingly demo spiked (for fun mostly?).

For example, I would love to be working on VR visual programming on top of a category theoretic type system. But there seems no part of that which isn't best left at least another year to ripen. Though maybe 2D interactive string diagrams might be a fun spike.
