I find that quality on technical and mathematical subjects varies wildly.

I remember once looking up a very specific topic, just to be sure that I don't misremember a certain simple but crucial core relation. What I found was a page that was so shockingly disorganised that I had to wade through 5 pages of mindbendingly complexified, quasi-obscurantist... drivel... just to extract that central piece of information that really should have been mentioned in the bit above the TOC, or at least easy to find.

So, YMMV.
The article doesn't make such a claim as far as I can see.
In the modern world, it seems, corporations have all the rights of people, but are beholden to none of the obligations.
Interesting. If you don't mind can you share structure of your daily journal.
You know, you can dd to a file to avoid destroying a drive. And you can provide a `count` to write fixed-size output files, dd will write bs×count bytes (technically it writes ibs×count, and bs sets both ibs and obs).

so

dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=1k count=1m

would write 1GB in 1k blocks, and

dd if=/dev/zero of=foo bs=1m count=1k

would write 1GB in 1m blocks.

Ask HN: What are your views on Homeopathy?
Not without sinking. The ballast and trim tanks won't suffice to give that much up-angle; you'd need to flood some after compartments to make it happen, and that is a very bad idea, especially since you would not also be able to maintain neutral buoyancy.

Besides, why would you want to? Your missile tubes are configured for vertical launch anyway, and it's not as though you can just pop a missile out, haul it through the corridors to the forward torpedo room, stuff it in a tube there, and fire it. Every one of those things isn't a thing you can do.
The Ambassador is based on the Morris Oxford, a British car from the 1950s, and I am fascinated that they never felt any pressure to update the design (although if I recall correctly in the early 2000s they replaced the original British Motor Company 1.5L with an Isuzu 1.6L).
> "Other things you must hate: morality and ethics."

I'm less impressed with your own ethics than those of the OP.

The OP made a tool that served a market niche in a country that isn't so wealthy and then shared the story here to help other makers. You've taken exception with one small piece of the story and expanded it to claim the poster "must hate morality and ethics".

While it's a bit of a rabbit hole to get into ethics of the copyright and IP regime of the US and allies, it's worth keeping in mind that even multiple US legal scholars have expressed concerns—from Jefferson (who wrote at length about IP before drafting US law) to Lessig now. It's certainly not so clear cut as to justify vilifying those who disagree.

This goes doubly so, considering the poster did this in a country that has only fairly recently caved to international pressure to "harmonize" its copyright enforcement. The OP's project was built on VK, where downloads of copyrighted videos and songs were offered by the platform itself until very recently.
Yeah without hole would be

I don't really know a great deal about farming in Austria, but as the other poster pointed out, there isn't really industrial agriculture US style that I am aware of.

However, a couple of examples:

- Austria has a pretty decent wine industry, with vineyard clusters in numerous locations around the country; south east Styria, Krems/Wachau, Burgenland, just south of Vienna.

- In Styria, there's plenty of pumpkin growing, which are mostly used to make pumpkin oil, which is an outstanding salad dressing.

- Also in Styria, there is a pretty big apple growing industry around Gleisdorf/Weiz to the east of Graz.

- There are some reasonably big cropping operations in the east of the country in Burgenland where the landscape is more rolling hills than high alps.
Thanks for the suggestion. It's so on point.

I'm suspicious that Oracle winning would be such a bad thing in the long term. Lawyers would go nuts and start hurting IT companies, for sure. But the bleeding of angry voters who lost their jobs or their millions would then hopefully convince US lawmakers to reform their country's inane IP and patent laws.
I agree. That's part of what makes the article interesting for me, though (you can draw your own conclusions), and what warranted discussion on HN. Unfortunately, the current climate makes political discussion almost impossible.
Good on you! :)

Posting a longish excerpt to give people a flavour of the book is covered by fair use. Otherwise literary criticism would grind to a halt.

> Isn't it dangerous to fly over erupting volcanos?

I'm not a pilot, but I trusted the judgement of the pilot and felt like it was worth the risk. The pilot planned our approaches carefully and though we got quite low, we were always circling around rather than going directly over the fissure. At the time the Icelandic aviation authorities had issued a warning (but no closure) for the airspace around the volcano.

The spectacle was so moving that fear wasn't a prominent emotion. The only hair-raising part was when we flew too low over some lava (shortly after this photograph was taken: https://www.flickr.com/photos/41812768@N07/15145875322/in/al...). The turbulent air from the heat shook the aircraft so violently that my headset came off.
If the price of milk drops in France, the farmers starts to burn stuff and throw rocks.

A year ago, taxi drivers were assaulting Uber drivers/passengers for similar reasons. Apparently farmers do this too? Are large segments of French society just a bunch of thugs who will engage in violence against society if they are not given tribute?

Do the police not crack down and jail people, sending a message that this is not to be tolerated? Is this a situation like Berkeley 2017, or the American South around Jim Crow, where the rioters/terrorists are implicitly sanctioned by the government?

This situation sounds really surprising from an American perspective and I'm really curious what's going on.
That is a little general. But sure i like the idea that simple things that grow around us can heal specific things that we suffer from every other day.

You're forgetting the convenience factor that the payment service creates in the market.

Let's say I sell trinkets for $10/each online. They are nice trinkets, but no one really needs my trinkets. No one is going to send me a money order in the mail for a single trinket for $10. Basically, there is no online market at all, unless I can make it easy to buy my product.

But if I charge $11/each and accept Paypal (or credit cards in general), I now have a real market for my trinkets. People like my trinkets, so they will gladly click on a Paypal icon and send me the money that way.

Now my trinkets are somewhat popular. A couple times a year someone stops by my workshop and asks to buy a trinket in person. I still charge them $11.
Unless you're planning to employ him I don't think that's your call to make.

Ask HN: Do you have examples of Facebook using your microphone for ads?
A few days ago we had this thread [0] where someone asked about a Facebook ad that arrived mysteriously on their page. I saw several possible explanations for this in the thread. Later I found a post by Facebook [1] stating explicitly that it does not use the microphone for ads. I was satisfied, until last night.

Last night, while we were at home, my wife mentioned to me that she would like to get a storage box to hold her external hard drives. She described her ideal one as a metal box with some sort of foam to hold the drives in place. She had never searched for something like this before and wasn't even aware that something like this existed. A couple hours later, an ad for such a product landed up on her Facebook page. I was a little freaked out.

So, do you have any examples of where something like this has happened to you? Am I being paranoid and this is just a coincidence? Or could Facebook actually be listening in on us?

When there are ongoing eruptions in Iceland, there are usually several companies that offer flights or helicopter tours to go see them. The tours normally cost $1-2k per person. Another option is to go hang out at the domestic airport in Reykjavík. Talk to a few people and you may find a private pilot who just wants to split the fuel cost.

Reminds me of an old Kim Stanley Robinson SF novel called Icehenge, which as I remember it revolves around life extension without corresponding memory preservation, so that history becomes a way of understanding your own past.

You are 100% correct about this. I have become much more trustworthy in describing to a few of my developer friends what my plans for any program I write are. My fears used to be that they would steal the idea and go make fortunes. What I found is that is untrue. Most of them don't care enough or have time to figure out my "exact idea" and write a program to do it. I have yet to see any of them ever attempt to steal an idea I have told them. Instead, I usually confide in them to understand: "Do you think this is a good idea? Should I even bother?"

They have never steered me wrong. There are projects they have loved and said, "I would love to see it when you're finished. I would love to test it out!" There are also other projects where: "It's not worth it to work on that." "I don't really see that as a demand or useful to anyone but you."

99% of the time they are giving me solid and sound advice. I think the 1% that remains is: Miscommunication. They misunderstand what I am after or I just didn't explain it right.

As to answer the original question: Honestly, if my code is that good... awesome. But I likely got that code from some sample library that can be found anywhere on the Internet. If the code is good and it helps someone out, than why not? I've tried to view source on sites for something cool that someone's website was doing. Sometimes I can get the script, but often times, it is usually a combination of javascript and some PHP scripts working together, so it is not always easy to just grab the code.

Furthermore, the X and Y axis should really have been the other way around.
It was a lie though, the fact you can then go on to do something such that the other party is never aware of the lie does not stop it from being a lie.

Most interactions are full of such lies, particularly between people with very different skill sets. Lies are social lubricants, and often have very little drama associated with them.

We do however have an interesting social stigma associated with the term "lie", much like "manipulate".

Take a guess. China, India had similar GDP per-capita figures in late 70s (Korea was poorer at one point). India never suffered from war and dictatorial madness like Korea and China, yet today India has < 1/5 GDP of China, and about ~< 2x the GDP of S.Korea (with 10-20x the population).

All this for what ? Some anti-colonial revolution ? Nope. India has almost completely ignored everything Indian, if not actively tried to destroy its traditions/languages/cultures and has ran after who ever would care to smooch over its "elite". India is as much a British colony today (if not more) than it ever was.

Email is tough to kill because it's not a company or a product, it's a decentralized set of standards. Email sucks in a lot of ways, but it's simple, works everywhere, and it's baked into a lot of places (confirmation emails, password reset emails, alert emails, etc). There are better technologies out there like messaging and slack, but they're controlled by companies and not open/decentralized, and while they have integrations, they aren't baked into a lot of places (e.g. no Amazon confirmation slack messages or bank alerts through FB messenger).

Imagine trying to kill XML because JSON is better...nearly impossible. Email may slowly die over time, but I don't think it's likely you can kill it outright.
Why do people think so? They have definitely more manpower for leading certain areas (like internet search results)... but their AIs certainly don't cover every aspect of life. Imagine a very specific "field of your choice" where AI can improve... so you take one of the many open source AI libraries and train/retrain that thing to your specific needs and voila, you have your own AI which solves your problem pretty good. The bigger problem is more that this sort of development is new for most developers... but I think this will change over time. <- this is a very good area where young people can be better than old developers. It's like a new chance maybe (like web development in the past).
