Even here in the supposedly socialist paradise of Norway capital gains are more lightly taxed than earnings. My marginal tax rate on earnings is 50% but interest or income from mutual funds is taxed at 27%. At least it was last time I looked, not much I can do about either of those numbers so I don't think about them any more.

"Nope, it's shortcomings are publicly documented. It can't dogfight, maneuver, has terrible visibility, bad systems,"

None of that is actually true, especially the "terrible visibility" part. In fact, it's the only aircraft flying with literally 2 pi steradian (the full sphere around it) visibility.

The author of the linked article has a vendetta against the F-35. There are legitimate criticisms, and he outlines some of them - they don't mean it won't be an effective system within a few more years.

Could the procurement have been done more effectively? Of course, and I hope future procurements learn a lot from the problems of the F-35 effort. In particular, there has to be a realistic plan to incorporate technology improvements during the development process! I'm also dismayed that computer modeling didn't predict issues like the weak wingtips of the F-35C.

All that said, how about a little balance from people who've actually flown the plane in simulated combat...?

This pilot flew the F-35B against F-16s and F-18s:

"Mo: I was leading a four ship of F-35s on a strike against 4th Gen adversaries, F-16s and F/A-18s.

We fought our way in, we mapped the target, found the target, dropped JDAMs on the target and turned around and fought our way out.

All the targets got hit, nobody got detected, and all the adversaries died. I thought, yes, this works, very, very, very well.

Never detected, nobody had any idea we were out there."

"not enough ammo in a gun it won't be able to use for years, and can't carry the most useful bombs yet."

The gun will almost never be a combat factor. As to the "most useful bombs", there is always something new isn't there...? The baseline SDB-1s are plenty useful in their own right, along with the various JDAMs and other munitions available.
Ask HN: How to properly cite sources online?
Edit: Ahhh some websites appear to already do this, "Top laptops..." but I wonder if it's old laptops or new ones. Easier said than done, have to comb through the market... spoke too soon as per usual. Still, I don't really have any better ideas and there's something about sorting/collecting data.

I'm looking to do something like a monthly laptop buying guide, not on current-new laptops but what you can buy used that's actually a good laptop. My sources would be from eBay (actual products/pricing), and forums that discuss known problems with that laptop.

I'm just wondering if it's okay for me to use quotes/other people's experience and provide links to that particular source. I imagine probably not, have to email the admin/site owner and get their permission.

If you happen to do something similar like this, perhaps not an aggregator but something similar using content from other websites, how do you make it work?

I don't know to me what you can buy for $300.00 from a store brand new is pretty bad, compared to what you can buy used that was the top-model 2 years ago. I suppose that is arguable if say the new models have a smaller dye and the processor uses less power/is cooler. But the performance will probably be better with more ram, stronger processors not this intel Atom crap or Celeron.
Most likely it will turn out as the accept cookie crap every site is now showing. We just have more if those notifications... Nothing to be proud of.

In both cases, support for a relatively new language standard (C++11, C11) would be required.
Cleverbot is really just a gimmick, it's an empty toy
The biggest innovation that I've seen in quite some time in terms of making creative use of hardware offloads is Hans Petter Selasky's RSS assisted LRO in FreeBSD.

On our workloads (~100K connections, 16 core / 32 HTT FreeBSD based 100GbE CDN server) LRO was rather ineffective because there were roughly 3K connections / rx queue. Even with large interrupt coalescing parameters and large ring sizes, the odds of encountering 2 packets from the same connection within a few packets of each other, even in a group of 1000 or more, are rather small.

The first idea we had was to use a hash table to aggregate flows. This helped, but had the draw back of a much higher cache footprint.

Hps had the idea that we could sort packets by RSS hash ID before passing them to LRO. This would put packets from the same connection adjacent to each other, thereby allowing the LRO without a hash table to work. Our LRO aggregation rate went from ~1.1:1 to well over 2:1, and we reduce CPU use by roughly 10%.

This code is in FreeBSD-current right now (see tcp_lro_queue_mbuf())

Which is why if such orders were being issued it'd be more like blue state stationed divisions sent to quell uprisings in red state areas and vice versa. This is a huge part of why I think a growing political divide is such a problem - we can be easily persuaded to attack each other when the problem isn't each other but the ones issuing the orders.

Demographics are destiny and if the population of a country is replaced, then it seems a tautology that the new country will resemble the replacements rather than the replaced in many ways. I wasn't being facetious that there is in fact a retirement program in Zimbabwe, and listening to Rhodesians in the 1950s talking about their Rhodesian retirement plan for the then very distant 2010s is likely to be as pointless of a discussion.

The "why" and who's behind it is I'm sure a fascinating off topic discussion but the UK government's own rather linear chart of % non-UK school children vs year the data was gathered has certain implications, if the linear trend continues.

Unfortunately, having a college degree does not make one a skilled tech worker. Many students attend college for reasons other than being interested in tech - they want to make money, they want to enjoy being young before entering the workforce, people told them that going to college is the thing to do.

You can tell these at college - they take the easiest classes, they do as little as possible, they'll give you long-winded explanations justifying cheating, they complain about the college rather than taking advantage of the opportunities there, and they avoid math as much as possible.

When they graduate, they are only marginally employable, and offering more training won't help.
Thankyou, this is exactly the best thing in the world for someone struggling with seeing things that no sensible human being should see.
Why are brands so scared of where their ads appear? Does it really matter? Are they measuring it? I swear there are ads left and right on every rap video that talks about killing others, snorting cocaine and snagging women. Why they want their ads appear there but no next to some lunatic creating conspiracy theory videos or whatever the hate speech videos mean.

Can't they just opt out of those categories?
The essential argument here also applies to any automated decision-making process, and that is one of the big risks we face in adopting ever more technology to help run our businesses and governments.

If we're not careful, we'll take all the old problems caused by unjustified discrimination based on factors like gender or skin colour, which today we (at least most of us) would consider irrelevant to making most decisions, and multiply them up many times over to apply to each input into an automated decision-making process. How do machine learning and statistical analysis tools distinguish between a causal relationship and mere correlation? And how often will they actually demonstrate the latter, yet be treated as if they had found the former?
We a need a new term, because vaporware doesn't quite work here.
IMHO both immigration and automation are real issues.

Agri-business wants cheap labor to avoid having to invest in automation for hard to harvest items - thus they benefit from illegal immigration, a source of cheap labor.

If immigration is in fact cracked down upon, then they will invest in automation rather than paying the higher labor rates that will be in effect.

The flaw in your reasoning is that not everyone has the actual ability to be a knowledge worker, as I think you would define it.

By definition, only the top (25% ? 30%? 40%?) portion of the population can do it well. So what happens to the others?
What's your point/argument?

It's not that they should all become knowledge workers, but tradespeople too -- construction, plumbing, electricians, etc. From what I hear it is very hard to break into these fields without prior training, which you need to acquire on your own and with some other means of supporting yourself (which isn't always available). I would love to see a return to master-and-apprentice style workplace relationships.
Introducing Cloud Explorer 10
I think some of your assumptions merit more consideration, too: college attendance is higher but it's still significantly below the theoretical maximum – does that mean that the in-demand degrees require interests/talents which simply aren't more common in the general population or that there's a problem with some combination of being prepared for those majors, supporting students all the way through graduation, or having certain career paths be open and inviting to the entire prospective student population?

Based on the number of students who either never attend or fail to graduate due to financial reasons I think most of this could be by our society choosing not to invest in high-quality education and other social support rather than some intrinsic failure of the higher-education system.
You're being completely disingenuous here.

Nothing is competing with HTML on being what HTML is. Nothing is even close.

All text encodings in common use build on top of ANSI. The de-facto standard (now) is UTF-8 and there's no reason to change that.

IP really does move all the data around the entire internet (that's kind of in the name right there!).

Yes, there are variations, extensions and incompatibilities, but these things are not being re-invented all the time, exactly because these things are ubiquitous standards.
Ah, good to know, my bad!

In that case, that slew of words simply demonstrates why there is also something, emphatically, wrong with drinking milk ethically and not only personal health wise, which is what we have been discussing.

It demonstrates that milk is bad in not only one aspect but two, and if we then account for how it is contributing to climate change as well, it is now bad in three aspects and, well, the dairy industry is looking very much like the devil, and people that consume dairy looks like stupid sheep and not modern, intelligent humans.

Take it or leave it.

Most of what you wrote is wrong. There are three versions, the F-35A, F-35B and F-35C for the AF, Marines and Navy respectively. The three split a long time ago, so no version is holding any other back.

Where things aren't so good is that the three versions were originally supposed to have over 80% parts commonality. That is now down to something like 20%. That is bad in terms of economies of scale.

All that said, in principle there is absolutely nothing preventing a single, mostly common, design from filling those three roles. Whether the F-35 team has done an exemplary job of doing that is certainly a question.

In terms of sheer engineering, it can be argued that the F-35B is the most impressive of the three versions. It's the first supersonic VTOL fighter ever.

Yes, all the data we use to train our model on, is handcrafted by our AI trainers. What they do is figure out all the different questions that are most common to ask for each intent we want to predict. We have built a tool that helps them creating all these sentences, often we use templates with keywords.

It is still under development, we started at the end of last summer. We use Torch and Python-NLTK.
How has your company's interaction with regulators been so far? From your description and the animation on the top page of the Gyant website, it looks like the chatbot is claiming to diagnose medical conditions, which in most cases would put it under FDA oversight.
And yet, that's kind of true. There is a scarcity of high quality meat. Many people would be made happier if steak would be no more expensive than carrots.

Perhaps one day lab-grown meat will decrease the cost of production and make that a reality.
Ask HN: What is the likelihood of embedding photovoltaic cells in trees?
What is the likelihood of inventing warp speed by tomorrow haha.

I don't know the leaves of trees are pretty cool how they align themselves to the sun automatically. I think you'd have to start this when the trees are young. Kind of a messed up thought but you'd inject "nano machines" (fancy word) metal, that creates the conductors through the core of the tree, and then the photovoltaic cells in the leaves would be bridged together and flow into those lines and I guess somehow this tree (among with many others) are connected to a power grid.
I live in Utah, and there are many reasons as to why breaking out of poverty is easier here than other parts of the country. I just want to mention one though: The Mormon church is a huge power in welfare in this state, and while they do focus on feeding, clothing, and housing the poor, their welfare program really pushes self-reliance, education, and breaking the cycle of poverty in people's lives. They spend a lot of money to train people with marketable skills, and they give interest-free education loans to their members, in poverty-stricken countries, in an effort to help elevate the conditions and opportunities in those countries. As part of the help they give, they encourage people to donate and volunteer themselves, to help others in need, as they break out of poverty themselves.

A lot of people complain about the Mormon church, over a variety of issues, but this is one thing they do incredibly well, I think.

The "semi" in semi-readable is no mistake either. The lack of comments is a real drawback in JSON for human readability. It's a major reason why YAML is used as a substitute in complex cases (An AWS Cloudformation template might be a good example- they're all gone YAML).

Similarly, JSON still has ambiguity around encoding (type of UTF). Dates are the same. Even integers, which are limited to JavaScript's 53-bit implementation (all numbers in JavaScript are doubles, so you're stuck with the mantissa limit). This is a huge pain if you're dealing with 64-bit values.

UTF-8 and JSON is a good place to start for Web Development, but there is no way it's the final or only answer.
The reason the OP gave for taking the drugs is "cognitive enhancement", not ADD treatment. It's probably going to be more difficult to find doctors willing to prescribe that, if this is your given reason.

(That being said, maybe this need for "cognitive enhancement" really does arise from an underlying medical condition like ADD. A sane legal system would in my opinion have, instead of jailing, sent this person to a doctor to figure this out.)
Great article! A lot of this is way beyond me, but I'm generally interested in the process of how a NIC filters based on MAC addresses.

I'm in the humanities and certain scholars working with culture and technology love to make a huge deal about data leakage and how intertwined we all are precisely because you can put a NIC in promiscuous mode and cap packets that weren't meant for you. The whole point is that because your NIC is constantly receiving data meant for others (i.e. because it's filtering the MAC addresses), something like privacy on networks is always problematic. I've always found the whole point somewhat overstated.

So, could anyone explain real quick the process of how a NIC decides whether a packet/frame is actually bound for it or link some good resources? For example, does the NIC automatically store the frame/packet in a buffer, then read the header, and then decide to discard? Or can it read the header before storing the rest of the frame? How much has been read at the point the NIC decides to drop it or move it up the stack? Reading all of every packet seems improbable to me because if it were the case, laptop 1 (awake but not downloading anything) would experience significant battery drain due to constantly filtering network traffic that was meant for laptop 2. I'm not sure that really maps to my experience. Also, I assume there are also differences for LAN vs WiFi?

Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated! I've tried google diving on this question many times before and it's really hard to find much on it.
Isn't a low DNS TTL problematic? DNS lookups are often slow on clients. Wouldn't something like Wackamole (IP address takeover on local networks with microsecond-latency on failure; dead project now though apparently: https://github.com/postwait/wackamole) help avoid this? We built our load balancers this way at my previous company...
The target inflation of 2% was established because the measurement error of the value is also about 2%. Hence if you want to avoid deflation, but at the same time minimize inflation your target should be 2%.
Guess which communities the national guard and the army recruited those troops from. If it ever comes to that, you're expecting soldiers to shoot and kill people just like them, people whose friends and family they may well have served with, people who - if things had gone a little differently - could have been them or their friends and family. This would likely not end well.
> The Mormons try harder to keep on the straight and narrow because their religion is less authentic

What you're saying goes against the premise of the church—it being the ancient religion that was lost, and then restored, hence ".. in latter days". In fact, this pattern is common throughout scripture (Bible, Book of Mormon, etc.) where the people fall into what's called apostasy, things are lost, and then it's returned again.

Someone else has already commented on your line about the absurdity, otherwise I would've said something similar.
I don't know how useful they are in a typical restricted access company environment. They make more sense at places like tradeshows where they may not stop a serious thief but probably are good enough to deter sticky fingers while someone's back is turned.
You're missing a fundamental part so I'll add it in, but even so, it's still incredibly simplified so as to push a certain derogatory view.

Epigenetics Is Not What You Would Call a Settled Field
If anyone wants to skip over the veganism, and the locavore and the organic and the ecovore and all of that, it's going to come down to this:

You should only eat animal products that came from your pets, i.e. you observe their lives, empathize with what's happening to them, and take responsibility* for their subjective experience.

Beyond that, on the cosmic scale, it doesn't matter what your practices are. We can disagree about what constitutes a subjectively good experience for a chicken or a fish. Future generations will disagree on those things too. They won't judge you for where your empathy steers you, but they will judge you for opting out of the responsibility.

If you want to pay someone to take care of "your" pets, that's fine too, but they're just your employee. You can leave your dog with the dogsitter, but you're still responsible for their care. The same is true of chicken you eat. You're still the CEO in that interaction, and still responsible for the life of the animal, so due diligence is necessary.

Ecological care, health, animal welfare, labor welfare, all of these things naturally shake out empathy and responsibility.

Vegans will be looked down on the same as meat eaters, because they are not taking responsibility for animal welfare either. They use "vegan" as a proxy for "humane" but it's not good enough. It's better than a meat eater who is absconding responsibility, but not as good as a meat eater who is taking responsibility. The vegan myth is that it's possible to produce food with no animal impacts.

"Don't eat fish" or "Eat local" or "Don't eat animal products" all suffer the same fate: they're rough heuristics in a process where we need actual responsibility. Before computers it was too hard to actually understand what was happening to your "pets" or where your "vegetables" were coming from but now that we have computers we can do it.
