> We know the greenhouse effect is real (just walk into a greenhouse and you'll know)

Until now it was my understanding that greenhouses are warm because they are shielded from the outside by glass walls so only the sun can shine in but warmth can't go out.
Are you now saying that greenhouses are so warm because of their CO2 levels?

Sounds like a good advice. I also have a family and very intensive primary job.

However, I would also like to renew math because of its general effects on the brain and because its hard. Without stressor, there is no improvement. I wanted a long time to devote few hours a week to study general math but if I can learn something that has usage in ML along the way, I consider it a double win.

For example, Fourier transformation and wavelates were very handy for me in understanding how certain DSP processes work while I had personal audio workstation and was doing digital composition most of my time.

So here's an explanation SA dismisses:

First, can we dismiss all of this as an illusion? Maybe adjusting for inflation is harder than I think. Inflation is an average, so some things have to have higher-than-average inflation; maybe it’s education, health care, etc.

I'm saying that in fact, this explanation must be true.

SA further says:

I’m more worried about the part where the cost of basic human needs goes up faster than wages do. Even if you’re making twice as much money, if your health care and education and so on cost ten times as much, you’re going to start falling behind.

The reason is that if this broader worry were true, then consumption should be going down. In fact, consumption has only gone up. Again: find me a good or service that the median or even the poor consume less of than in 1975.

If SA were making a very isolated claim that education and transit cost too much, I'd be agreeing with him. But he's actually making a much broader claim, and the broader claim is what I dispute.

There is always some scope for product differentiation and a lot of scope for marketing differentiation. There are hundred(s) of different CRM products on the market and some differentiate themselves on features (specific features/workflows for particular industries) and some trumpet their lack of features as the "simple crm" or "lightweight crm".

Another example is that there are dozens of customer service software products across all price ranges and target business sizes.
I feel like this is, on one hand, an amazing thing to be able to do because it removes the necessity to have IPMI to remotely re-install a system.

>> "The rat the cat the dog bit chased escaped"

That is indeed a contrived example of recursion, but recursion (in the sense of embedding) can be much simpler and easier to parse. For example:

"John, my friend from high school, who married your cousin, Mary, is coming over for dinner".

This sort of embedding is what makes human language infinite in scope- you can keep embedding sub-sentences for ever, and so you can produce new utterances forever.

This ability to infinitely extend and recombine the meaning of utterances is what gives human language its expressive power, and what is absent from animal languages, so far as we know.

The book Art of Dreaming has some good tips... Such as remembering to look at your hands. That action for some reason if performed in a dream will help you realize you're dreaming. The other thing is there's two factors of realization (according to the book), the first is realizing you're dreaming. The second is realizing you are asleep in your bed right now. Surprisingly, it helps to realize and acknowledge these independently for the lucid state to properly kick in.

Once all that happens, the next challenge is of course holding it together without waking up. That just takes practice, but some people are naturals at it I hear.

They may have done a better job instituting these practices across a large organization, and some of their tools have very useful and novel features, but I very much doubt there is a single practice that they actually invented. If you think there is one, please be specific. I think what Google contributed is evidence that these practices can be instituted at scale, which really was sorely lacking in some cases. This helped the industry disseminate them.

Hi!

I am the author of the NX framework and this example. Thx for posting this here (:

The clone is not intended to be HN alternative, it is an introductory project for the framework.

The redirection issues are because of the GitHub hosting. I am aware of the possible SPA hack, but I decided against it as it would introduce unnecessary complexity to the example project. I will change the hosting soon.

The framework works in all browsers supported by ES6 proxies. (Meaning no IE and Safari 10+ only, rest is pretty much supported). The reason is the reliance on unpolyfillable ES6 proxies. It is a next gen framework that will stay in beta for some time and I hope that by the time I release v1 these browsers will have a lot smaller market share.
Yeah because Ubiquiti is the leader in quality networking products. Oh wait.. The unifi line has no features and the entire company has no acceptable level of customer support. Not surprised the value went down 13% overnight...
>I wonder why they do this. The $$$ savings for the lesser hours are peanuts given the low wages.

Managers and supervisors always work for achievements, which are usually made on the back of the lower rungs by saving money and increasing performance by any means necessary.
You have lots (where "lots" means maybe 512 bytes, or possibly 8k bytes) of flash memory. Flash is cheap both in cost/silicon area and in the power budget.

You store constants and your actual program code in Flash. The limitation of Flash memory is that you can only erase a whole page state time. On many of the smaller microcontrollers, one page may be larger than your SRAM!

So you treat Flash as read-only, writing it with a separate hardware programmer. You store state in the limited SRAM. You would also read or modify external state by loading or writing to special function registers outside of the Flash and RAM address space, where the "memory" mapped to that bit or word would do something in hardware. It would tell you whether a digital pin was on or off, or turn it on or off, or tell you the analog voltage on an input pin, or configure the pulse width of a pulse-width modulation timer, or read/write to a communication port, or set up a hardware interrupt timer.

Here's probably the most common example of this class: http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/40001239F.pd...

They're often used to 'glue' two separate circuits together. For example, you could use it to measure an input, and in one mode output a high voltage if that input was on, or in another mode output a low voltage. In more physical examples, you could read the position of an analog input knob and control the pulse width of a TRIAC to control the speed of a motor. You could monitor the capacitance of a touch sensor (with an ATTiny) and turn a device on or to standby, or do a hard reset if the button is held down for a long time. You could modulate an RGB LED through a rainbow of colors. You could run a flashlight in a high power, low power, or strobe mode depending on how a button was pressed. And so on.

The real question is not just about debating what is causing a rise in average temperature over the past half century, but whether there is anything we can do to change it. Deniers say people are not to blame so do nothing; the rest of us say people are the majority cause so change our behavior. The problem is we only have one earth, either we do nothing and all die eventually, or we do something and possibly we don't. In the long run the latter seems a far better bet: at worst we have a cleaner environment and a slightly slower economy versus a barren planet filled with roaches.
Science is based on reproducible experiments. Show where anyone has experimented using an Earth-sized environment to show that agw is true. Until then, it is only a theory.

> Existing forms of social assistance in Western countries often are available to non-citizens and are usually more strongly linked to past payments into the system and/or intention to work and contribute to the system when they can.

Most social assistance programs in the US are not linked to past payments, the most notable exception being social security, which pays only retirees.

And limiting benefits to people who have previously paid has the effect you seem to dislike anyway -- new arrivals to the country can't collect benefits because they have no history of paying.

Moreover, redistributive programs can't work that way because their entire premise is to improve the situation of lower income people. If the money had to go to people in proportion to what they've paid then it would have no purpose or effect.

> For obvious practical reasons (a suggested stipend of $10k PPP is well above the median salary internationally) if one destroys the link with work contributions, then numbers must be managed by imposing more onerous restrictions on non-citizens' entitlement to move to a country and claim subsidies higher than they presently earn.

We already have this because the existing programs already work this way. If anyone from an impoverished country could immediately immigrate legally to the US and begin collecting food and housing assistance, an unsustainable number of people would, which is why they aren't allowed to. Even if they could find a job here in e.g. agriculture, because those jobs don't qualify for H1B.

> And however unjust it might already be, the existing systems that mandates employment for foreigners seeking residency generally aren't built on the concept that it's an affront to dignity to impose work requirements on citizens wanting handouts.

Then it's a good thing a UBI isn't built on that, since its purpose is to provide a safety net without creating the poverty trap that existing means-tested programs do by withdrawing benefits at rates approaching or sometimes even exceeding 100% of marginal income for low and middle income people.

> But the wider point is that the "nobody should be forced to suffer the indignity of having to work for their living" rhetoric behind UBI simply doesn't reflect any feasible near-term system that any person has actually proposed, and the "people should not have to work unless they were born elsewhere, in which case their continued labour to produce low cost goods for those who have chosen to become permanent UBI-dependents is fundamental to the system getting close to being affordable" reality is a bit less philosophically appealing.

The idea that one country should have to pay for social assistance for the whole world in order to have it internally is not a philosophy most people are going to mind disregarding.

All of the replies from Carnival give the same impression: we have rules against that sort of thing, and would punish anyone caught breaking those rules. We also do not go looking for anyone breaking such rules, because we make more money this way.

Wow, thanks for all your comments. I even clicked on the Drag sign myself. We can make it that way too.

Ugliness vs Beauty, is a subjective judgement, and if one person, or 1,000 thinks it either way, the type designer is usually trying to please just one person.

In this case, the designer is trying to please a range of tastes, in both print and animation, from subtle stroking of the style, barely perceptible like the sound your fingers make parting to drop a pin, which is one whole tradition in type use, to making your eyes bleed, the range of which variations are all about, and has been for centuries.

We'd certainly appreciate the Hacker News hackers' perspective on Use! User Interfaces! CSS, and how applications should continue to support variations, in more sensible ways.

You can do that here, and also there are several other places you can sound in if you start hacking around. Google, Microsoft, Adobe, and many others will be offering pretty fonts soon. I felt it'd be good to make sure to get people's eyes to bleed first, to open them up. Thanks for that confirmation.
It's always possible to make arguments like these, and their appeal is that they're impossible to refute. It's not evident that the conditions of the Filipino cruise ship worker are worse than the Foxconn worker, the strawberry picker or the factory worker in Vietnam.

However one should never turn moral consistency into a prerequisite for action - otherwise we get paralysis and inaction and nothing gets done at all. CP is perfectly able to reconcile voting with his or her feet on this and accepting that in other areas he or she is tacitly accepting slavery.
I get the idea behind the "reality has a well known liberal bias" shibboleth. I think, however, that a more accurate and less self-serving formulation is that reality is non-partisan. Reality doesn't care about anyone's cherished political views.
White collar/services jobs are a lot easier for robots to perform than blue collar ones (Moravec's paradox). The untapped potential of being able to sell "the one company that does every service task with a credit card form factor" will probably make it more profitable to attempt to outcompete the low-hanging fruit: higher-cost (so more likely to "go viral") and easier to implement professional jobs. It might just be AI that makes Marx's accelerationism a household term!
Well, we're imagining a world where robots have made us vastly richer. (Self-driving cars! 100% automated factories!) Stark increases in inequality will also mean that more of the US' total income is given to the highest earners, i.e. those with the highest tax brackets. So we'd collect quite a lot more in taxes even if we left current rates completely unchanged.

If robots don't end up making society incredibly wealthy and more unequal then there's no point in UBI to begin with. So it doesn't make sense to simply look at current figures.

>Speak for yourself.

Actually the inverse: don't speak for yourself, because it's irrelevant.

What the authors did was try to speak for what happens at large -- which is what matters. Outliers will always exist, but their team analyzed thousands of packages across three different OS environments to come to conclusions.

It's not about there being counter-examples, it's about what they saying being the norm.
> The most interesting challenge here is protecting against PCIe's Address Translation Services (ATS). Using this feature, any device can claim it's using an address that's already been translated, and thus bypass IOMMU translation. For trusted devices, this is a useful performance improvement. For untrusted devices, this is a big security threat.

I wonder whether operating systems disable this by default. As far as I know modern linux versions try to use the IOMMU to isolate devices by default, but that would bypass it.
I don't want to dox myself, but you can probably guess which western European country doesn't. Healthcare isn't US level expensive there where you'll go bankrupt with any minor issue but still prohibitively expensive if you don't make much and break your arm for example, so it's somewhat essential.

The problem with what you're saying (that grammars are not necessarily the best representations of complex hierarchical structures, with which I agree) is that anything that can represent a complex hierarchical structure as well as a grammar must necessarily be equivalent in computational power to that grammar- and unfortunately, we know of no computational process that cannot be expressed as a grammar at least in principle.

"Unfortunately" because this means that any representation of such a process you may want to pick over a gramar, that is not a grammar, will either have to be reducible to a grammar, or fail to capture the expressive power of the modelled process.

So, sure, a "tree" may not be the best way to model natural language. But we don't have the theoretical tools to figure out what can be a better representation than that.

I am optimistic that self-driving technology and electrification will go along way towards addressing the negative externalities (safety, pollution, congestion, noise) of motor vehicles in the coming decades.

In the mean time, the real problem with urban speed limits in the UK is that there is very little enforcement. Speed limits are meaningless because they are widely ignored.

This blog post suggests that might be about to change, at least in Birmingham.

They managed to write an entire article about POSIX and never mention the filesystem parts? Even the section about "asynchronous I/O" seems to have more to do with locking than actual I/O. Nothing about directory operations, permission models, consistency/durability requirements, and all the other things that make that part of POSIX the most egregiously out of date. I wrote a bit about this (http://pl.atyp.us/2016-05-updating-posix.html) and barely scratched the surface. I wish they'd dared to go there too.

>so it is some way POSIX.

That's hardly encouraging, when all the basics and all the newer OS X abstractions are based things other than POSIX standards, and ask programmers to connect to them with non-POSIX interfaces.

The fact that it also supports a POSIX layer is about as relevant to what we're discussing (whether POSIX is fit for today's needs and used in today's mainstream development) as the presence of some X Windows translation layer is in Wayland.
TIL GitLab runs on Azure. If your CI servers or deployment targets are also on Azure then the latency should be pretty low (assuming you get the correct region). Good to know.
