Are you sure about this? Have you seen what the Xerox Star could do in 1981 (http://toastytech.com/guis/star.html)? Or how about Symbolics Genera? Both of these systems had UI functionality in some ways more advanced than what we have today.

They tried to build smart workstations, where today we have essentially "dumb" operating systems and rely on applications to make them useful. The price we pay for this choice is the poor integration across applications. Web applications are even worse: zero integration across applications coupled with huge security problems.
It would be great if a simpler webtorrent version was available just for fun.

Didn't know about all of those units. q, mm, cm… scientific notation?!

Also didn't know one could use counters already. Browser support is great. I thought it was still under approval.

Amazing stuff, thanks
Large research universities and hospitals, Pharma, and, of course, the Broad.

I understand pharma not sharing but much of the hospital/broad/university data is produced with (at least some) public money.
A little known fact: the Namecoin blockchain's cost-adjusted hashrate [1] is the third highest in the world, after Bitcoin and Ethereum, making it unusually secure given its relative obscurity (e.g. its market capitalisation is only $10 million).

[1] hashrates can't be compared directly due to different hashing algorithms having different costs for producing a hash.
Are there any good tools for deobfuscating css/js if you want to study a technique used on some web page?
You might really like the original manga!

Same issues examined, but it is very different in tone. It's very ADHD, almost, with tons of hyperactive detail, motion, and dialogue crammed into every panel. It makes me really nostalgic for those early cyberpunk days.

The 1995 movie, by contrast, was very somber and serious and dreary. I love much of the animation, but otherwise I think it's kind of a snoozefest.
If you haven't read Accelerando by Charles Stross, you should check it out; that's one of the things it explores--laws, terms of use, and companies being carried out as programs. It's a super cool science fiction story that explores a ton of really out-there ideas, all pretty plausibly.

If every single nuclear plant exploded like Fukushima a productive lifetime like Fukushima had did that would still be only an order of magnitude more deaths from nuclear than from coal.
Like bittorrent, zeronet requires a client. The client acts as local server and displays the pages in your browser
It also goes hand in hand with chronic anxiety and ADHD.
The project looks very promising but relies on running a lot of javascript from untraceable sources in the browser.

Given the long history of vulnerabilities in the the browsers, trusting js from a well-known website might be OK, trusting js from zeronet is unreasonable.

If ZeroNet could run with js code generated only by the local daemon or without js it would be brilliant.
Yeah, I don't mind it occasionally, but he'll open up qualifying with something like, "Well today we're going to see if Maranello can take the fight to Brackley," and I wish he'd just use the team names.

On the other hand, I really look forward to hearing Hobbs go "Whoeuueeuuueeeoaa!!" midsentence every time someone gets even slightly sideways.
The most interesting outcome from Goedel's incompleteness is the study of alternative arithmetics [1]. And I don't mean ones that are progressively weaker, I mean ones that are incomparable and to which the same incompleteness theorems may not apply. For instance, Boucher's Arithmetic without the Successor Axiom.

Because that would require everyone to have the zeronet client installed before they can go to the zeronet website to download the client...
Of course not. Demonstrated even MORE immaturity by burning coal. Aliens discussing us: "are the earthlings burning coal for fuel? I thought you said they couldn't even handle nuclear fission?"

"Yes dear Sklaar, it's even worse than we thought. Can you believe where they put the exhaust? Straight into the atmosphere!"

And so it happened that Earth was put into another 1000 years of no-contact-policy at the latest board of review, kids...

> Scientific notation isn't […] supported in all browsers.

This has tripped me up many a time when I've created CSS colour strings (mostly for <canvas> use) by concatenating Strings and Numbers in JavaScript. When a Number gets small enough, it ends up in scientific notation, and the CSS parser rejects it.
It would be interesting to create a distributed catalog of torrents itself.
This is a big ask and I'm not working in AI but I'd like a comprehensive as possible list of treatments offered at facilities with pricing. I'd build a website that looks up the treatment you require and compares the estimated cost of travel to each location that offers it (keeping in mind exchange rates) to find the lowest total price. This data should be global to be as effective as possible.

It could even offer suggestions like "Spend $200 more and recover on a island paradise!"

If globalism is good for low wage workers it certainly should be good for the medical profession.
I remember listening to the movie commentary track on the DVD release. It really was quite hilarious, the interplay between Verhoeven -- making thunderingly clear his assertion "war makes fascists of us all" and making it very evident the film is an ironic political statement and a parody of WW2 propaganda, vs the film's soft-spoken screenplay writer (also co-writer of "Robocop") Edward Neumeier, who is sometimes desperately trying to walk back the director's vitriolic attacks on anyone dumb enough to like the film at face value. Most enjoyable, and Neumeier loses that battle.
I don't know about the typical minifier, but most of the popular ones (uglifyJS, closure etc.) work by first building an AST and then analyzing that.
I agree about the backlash, just not the mean. Banishment and censorship is 1) a very harsh punishment for what is basically wrong think, 2) doesn't actually fix the problem, it just moves it to a darker place.
I think the security concern is that IoT devices have such poor security, being behind a firewall is the only thing that stops an attacker compromising them.

Expose the shitty insecure software to the internet directly, the theory goes, and successful attacks are inevitable.
I don't think that, in the grand scheme of things, anti virus programs are really helping. Once you have the machine compromised, hiding from a scan isn't terribly difficult.
I think you'll find people like that, regardless. At the end of the day, people get frustrated when they pay money for something that doesn't work. Plus, posting in a forum can feel like shouting at a wall rather than talking to a person, especially if you're not used to posting in forums. If you're patient enough with angry customers, they can become some of the most adamant supporters of your product.

Binary packages. Once you package all your software and all your software's

I understand "consequential damages", but this is a poor example. It's not the only product in the world that can open a garage door from an app.

I can't get a new car if I buy an alternator and it's faulty. Maybe if it damaged the car, but there's no corollary here.

Edit: This happens all the time. Amazon "fires" sellers. Hosting companies "fire" people that suffered a DDOS, or similar cases to this one...customers that are snarky with tech support. Paypal "fires" customers at will, often with no details as to why. I've read many of these stories and never heard of a case where someone got something more than actual, direct losses back (like existing account balance).

Back when phones were mostly sold via carriers ("new phone every 2 years"), I suspect OEMs wouldn't want it because updates would almost guarantee no updates for the duration that the phone was supported by Google.

In a plateauing market where more customers buy their own phones, it could be a differentiating factor. As an iPhone user I buy an unlocked phone every 3 years or so, updates are therefore important to me -- but clearly not to enough of the Android market right now.

What's more interesting than the story (for me) is the negativity in the comments. It almost seems like people hear "Uber" and go digging for reasons to hate on the idea.

But if you have been to Innisfil, it's pretty clear that this is a good attempt at tackling a transportation problem, Uber or no Uber. This is a rural town of less than 40 thousand people. There's simply no way spending close to half a million dollars per year on a single bus line makes any sense here compared to other cost/coverage models.

I do and have, yes. We generally push for design-first specs, which means there's nothing in place to generate the Swagger file yet. If the API is simple, as they should be, then it's not that awful, really.

Yeah. The "mainstreaming" of sci-fi has been kind of a mixed blessing. We got all the PEW PEW PEW lasers and blinking computer lights but none of the thought-provoking stuff.

God, I want some space opera. Doesn't even have to be "hard" sci-fi that aspires to realism (though it's a bonus)

I liked the first Star Trek reboot movie, but I saw STAR TREK EXTREME or STAR TREK BEYOND or whatever it's called a few weeks ago and it was just atrocious. Just mind-numbing, generic action. Reminded me of the Transformers movies. I love me some giant robot fights, but the Transformers movies are just a big visual mess to me.
Because (a) it does not let you relicense as GPL, which is the only thing GPL compatibility means ("Can you be press-ganged into our army later? Great: you're compatible. We just haven't assimilated you yet."), and (b) the FSF is under the impression that strong copyleft exists, which is practically not true (there have always been Purity Hoops that you can jump through to make the two interoperate) and may be legally not true (Ubuntu's stand in including ZFS is precisely that all copyleft is weak copyleft, and the only difference is if your walls are implicit and poorly defined as in the GPL or explicit and well defined as in the MPL and CDDL). So it's in their ideological interests to consider things as incompatible even if they grant the Core Software Freedoms plus the Copyleft they like so much. Like, license incompatibility is the core selling point of GPL. The actual legalese of the license is really rather confusing and long by comparison.

I agree with the consistency thing too. I built a search engine for talks (https://www.findlectures.com), which has a UI plus lots of little scraper/ETL utilities.

If I have a small block of time (1-2 hours), I try to make 2-6 really small commits, so there is always progress.

If I have a larger block (4-6 hours) I try to build out a feature so it just works, just working on things that require that amount of time (leave all the short problems for later).

I found this also affects my decisions about what tools I use and how the software is designed. E.g. using npm libraries for UI components that are "good enough", which I might be tempted to start from scratch in a work environment. I also intentionally built an application that is easy to manage - no user accounts means no database to pay for / migrate / monitor.

I'm using Heroku to outsource monitoring/logging, and Aweber for email. Paid tools can be cheap compared to the time it would take to replace them, and if you don't pay for one of these, your side project turns into building those products as well.

Can I use the Google sheet to find partners for my open source project (no monetary benefit)?
This is a recurrent topic on HN. Somebody posts an article about "coal is bad". Then somebody mentions that nuclear is safer/better than coal. A third person then claims Germany is evil because they are replacing nuclear with coal. The next person shows evidence that this is not the case. Then a discussion about energy imports & exports of Germany starts.

Literally every fucking topic about renewables/nuclear/coal ends up with the same content.

thousands of hosts costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. a few thousands more is a low barrier.

Sumologic, papertrail, logentries (and many more) for cloud logs. Graylog or ELK or Splunk for self hosted logs.

However, logs should never be send to the cloud, they are too sensitive information to outsource. Server metrics + stats are more reasonable.

Agree, stats and logs cover different things. Need both.
In practice, that depends on the contract. I bet Uber had more, higher-paid lawyers than the town.

> why should I when I can have it generated?

Because maybe you work on a team where half are creating an API and half are creating a client, and if you write a Swagger spec first, you can both be working at the same time, against the same contract, and just meet in the middle? And if you're working on the consumer side of things, you can take that spec and stand it up against a mocking engine that will now give you something to test against while your API team finishes their work? Just because you would rather generate Swagger doesn't mean there's not a reason to write it by hand before writing code.

Ask HN: Large sites that use WPML for multilingual content?
Any pointers to large WordPress sites that use the WMPL plugin to have a multilingual site? I want to understand the ability of WPML to scale to sites that have thousands of pages and/or high traffic. I am looking for reference sites, ideally in business, government or media. The WPML developers have a showcase ( https://wpml.org/showcase/ ) but it's hard to determine the size of the sites there, and most of the ones I've visited are smaller sites. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Any experience using WPML (or other multilingual plugins for WordPress) for large sites would also be welcome. Thanks in advance.
I feel there are a lot of things wrong with The Expanse which make it really hard to enjoy. Personally I find the dialog often very weak and the acting very forced and obvious, but that's just my personal opinion. I seem to only be reading endless praise on reddit/HN.

As for the world, there seems to be a lot of nonsense tech such as see-through cell-phones? No way to even hide what you are doing, even crucial characters and VIPs have see-through communication devices, whilst they steal/look at top secret information? Why is AR (using HUGE eyeglass-like devices) reserved only for very special engineers/scientists? Haven't the shows creators heard of Hololens? It's like they took VR/AR and took it back to the 80s. Why do they need to do so many things manually, yet not completely manually e.g. control an antenna, but they can do it remotely they just have to be within 20 meters? How can they open solid metal doors without electricity in zero-g? It feels a bit like Star Trek back in the 60s, before they had any clue about what was to come, except it's 50 years later and they are still using similar ideas without adding anything new. I understand compromises need to be made to adapt to the screen so that viewers can understand the world, but it seems like there are tons of areas where a bit more creativity should be order.

Dont go around the carolinas saying something like that! You are likely thinking of Memphis style barbecue sauce, which is often katchup based, where the carolinas use a vinegar based sauce.[1]

Sporting events (and experiences like concerts more broadly) seem like one of those areas where VR could actually find paying customers. There's a proven market for subscribing to watch this sort of activity and it avoids the physical interaction/feedback challenges that a lot of other VR applications have.

The tech still needs to get better and there are certainly questions of viewer fatigue etc. But it certainly seems like a very plausible use of VR.

Neither argument has been tested, but the defense would that you were acting as an ISP with dumb pipes.

Which logically leads to an unrelated question -- if ISPs are doing DPI on every packet, they at least theoretically 'know' whether you're transmitting 'illegal' content. If I were a rights holder, I'd be making that argument against ISPs. I don't know how I'd sleep at night, maybe, but I wouldn't let ISPs have their cake (valuable user data) and eat it too (immunity based on status as ISP-only).

That point about irregularly spaced data (sparse) is a very insightful observation. I’d just add that a user can to some extent address that by normalization, i.e., splitting incoming data across multiple TimescaleDB (hyper)tables, like in any SQL database. However, the are clear trade-offs here. The upside is that users can themselves balance these trade-offs.
It might be possible with the DHT alone, but I think for what the grandparent poster wants it would depend on the ability to query the DHT. Both in general and by popularity and insert date.
