Good question! We need one! HardOCP used to have some things... And the very first high-end/professional HW benchmarking websites were inspiring.

I think if we could get a couple engineers from each HW manufacturer from different departments to help put together articles, then I think one as entertaining as HN could be built. People just don't hash out HW specs like they used to - and we need a resurgence via an injection of top-skilled onslaught articles written by the actual innovations of today. I'm happy to help coerce them to participate in such an adventure - if some of you will help me :)

That number comes from a research group's website whose purpose is to track old people and they claim to have validated these people. Do you have anything more concrete than "lol bullshit" to counter it?
It is probably just random. Out of seven billion people some of them will make it over 100 years old. People do win the lottery, after all.
That subs front page has a ton of spam, which was submitted a year ago, so I wouldn't suggest it.

EDIT: On further inspection I think that sub is about the truck 'RAM' and other things.

Even then, there are exceptions. I (in California) am currently working on a small project with a couple guys in Australia. Between the three of us, there are eyes on the servers 24/7 without needing to worry about getting woken up in the middle of the night, and there's always someone available to answer questions from our clients. It's great.

It's crazy to think how different the world looks today than it did 117 years ago.

It's even crazier to speculate what it will look like in 117 more.

I wonder whether this would be better as an external tool? It seems almost inappropriate for a systems language.

It seems like a great way to boost performance, but performance isn't everything. Compiler simplicity should also be a goal (though perhaps difficult with rust, I think it's worth some effort). Debuggability should be a goal.

And I think some kind of ABI guarantees would be nice eventually after the rest of the language stabilizes.

I'm more upset that the two ports aren't on the same side of the laptop. This precludes use of portable hard drives that use two USB connections.
They launched it on Sunday. Day of the Sun was Saturday.
Not sure if this applies to Gamequoter's posts specifically, but for a while there was a site called Waffleimages that was created basically for SA in the same sort of way Imgur was created for Reddit when all the other image hosts sucked. Just about everyone used Waffleimages for a while and when it eventually went away, tons of images went with it.
Being someone else's employee is a dead-end job after 35-40. It has nothing to do with software development. The easiest way to counter that, is to at least engage in subcontracting. But then again, the whole idea of selling your hours to someone else is in itself a long-term dead-end strategy. Instead, build a platform and sell something else than your own hours on it. That is what your employer is doing anyway. So, why not do it yourself too?
Well, at some point in time, everyone was once so young that everyone else in the world was older than them.
"Excluded are the countless other ways that governments levy taxes, such as sales and value-added taxes, property taxes, and taxes on investment income and gains."

They also don't include self-employment tax (15%) and sales tax (6-10%). Sales tax and self-employment alone are over 20% close to 25% not counted in the article. Property tax can be close to 1% (depends on property), dividend taxes also aren't included (10-15%).

I own several pairs of headphones and surprisingly I don't miss the jack.

My daily Bose Quietcomfort 35's have excellent bluetooth and switching between my iphone 7+ and my computer is quick and easy.

I keep an adapter on my home stereo aux cable. For the rest of my wired headphones, I usually use them with my computer, not my phone.

I use my wired earbuds far less now, but they're great to have as backup.

North Korea is isolated from the entire world. I don't think any meaningful evaluation of economic systems can be made here beyond isolation from the worlds physical and intellectual resources makes for poor innovation.

There's a funny thing about that. Quite a few companies have been financially successful with that model, but a disproportionate number of them seem to be morally challenged. One of the first lists I was able to find included Wal-Mart, Cargill, and Koch as three of the top four. Price fixing, influence peddling, and several examples of private profit at public expense. I kind of don't care how much money they make, or how much I might make by going there. I still wouldn't touch them with a ten-foot pole.
I'm actually happy that Apple moved the USB ports away from each other. I used to have a non-Retina MacBook Pro and it was a royal pain to get two "large" USBs to fit at the same time.

"Horribly written" is blunt criticism, like it or not. The parent post is saying that because you delivered blunt criticism, you should be prepared to take it too.
Honestly, none. I'm not a category theorist, and have no more understanding of monads than anyone who's used a javascript promise library, and I've been employeed professionally as a Haskell programmer for the past year, contributed libraries back to the community, and given talks in my local area.

Haskell is a language like any other. Many people would like to complicate it, but if you spend the time learning its syntax and semantics, there is very little need to learn the theory.
Not seeing the URL is an incredibly huge difference, on average.

Also you have zero context and no hive-mind to check the link for you ahead of time.
Yes, that's exactly what it does.

By shifting it a few points across the boundary, it creates a higher confidence that X is actually Y instead of X.

The problem is that without studying the neural network and trying out different inputs and seeing the results, it's hard to figure out exactly what will shift things across the boundary. Even if you could get the same starting data set and attempt to train your own, you don't necessarily know which data was used for testing vs validation.

You'll likely come up with similar boundaries but not the same therefore you don't know the effectiveness of your adversarial approach until you actually try it against that particular system..
The WWII-Era Plane Giving the F-35 a Run for Its Money
> The regressive nature could be removed by an income based rebate or UBI.

Like Universal Basic Income or Mincome, this sounds great and even conservative intellectuals like the concept (Milton Friendman was a major proponent of mincome).

In practice - the problem is this gets framed as "sending YOUR TAX DOLLARS to LAZY POORS". So we're likely to end up with the regressive consumption tax and no rebates or UBI, whether that's day-1 or a decade or two down the road.

In practice I've also noticed that many EU retailers will attempt to charge VAT even on export goods (which should not be taxed), and I'm sure they're reporting them as exported and just pocketing the extra 20% tax.

No. It is not even clear this is tax avoidance, let alone evasion. No country on Earth taxes companies that are foreign to it, unless they do business inside the borders.

> You can't say that he probably was guilty

I can and do, which is not nonsense applied to an infinite amount of theoretical past cases. That's not relevant.

Cases aren't assembled just to get a conviction on 20 specific items (http://law.justia.com/constitution/us/amendment-05/06-for-th...). US justice system is not about truth or even justice, but an amalgamation of concerns and subject to the irregularities of reality (if key witness X has a heart attack and dies, a case Y can fall apart).

I'm not subject to these concerns and limitations (which are both historical and societal, without being strictly law-related). He was probably guilty (in the moral, not legal sense if that's confusing anyone), based on what I have read and seen. That's distinctly different from saying he did something wrong or illegal or should be in jail or that it would be a public good to ignore.
If all hamburger producers get a tax cut, then some of them will be able to reduce their prices, so hamburgers will be sold for less.
Kim Jong Un doesn't quite strike me as a suicidal personality. Furthermore, I suspect he is not surrounded suicidal staff.

There's no end-game in a spontaneous lashing out at anybody in the region. It's not a winnable situation for North Korea to attack anybody. They don't get anything from actual violent belligerence.

They're basically a bee hive. They've got their territory, and there's not much else happening, except maybe them screwing around on the internet for kicks, and their science projects like their ICBM program.

At some point, his wife will bear a son. He'll have an heir, and life goes on.

flexibility in our stack, tools, etc.

* I have no kids and rent my home.

I wonder why people haven't done this before. The e-paper displays have always been the 'epaper' layered over circuit that creates tightly controlled electric fields. I'm guessing its something about the registration between the 'display' and the 'writer' that has fairly high tolerances. If they could license the plastic logic process to make plastic versions of the e-paper then you could have "paper" that you "print" but can recycle just by sticking it back in the input paper tray. No money selling ink though :-)
Show HN: 'Hack' the user cursor
The dirty secret that many people don't want to acknowledge is that government spending can create economic activity (as opposed to just moving it around).

The roaring economy of the 50s was the result of massive government intervention during World War II - literal central planning in many cases - as well as numerous social and public-work programmes (GI Bill, National Interstate Highway construction, etc) funded by intense taxation on upper brackets (95% tax rate).
that's the point.

YMMV, I've been regularly impressed with the quality of posts on hackaday. I find there are some very knowledgable posters who will often add great value to a given article.

When we built the new set of drivers for Neo4j, we decided to allow three modes: No encryption, Trust on First Use and Trusted Signature - there's no way to establish an connection without trust.

This was a terrifying decision, because of ease of use concerns. Having done so and shipped it, TL;DR: It worked awesome, outside of some early kinks in TOFU that we worked out - and now everyone can sleep well knowing there's not a single install that thinks they are running an encrypted setup when they really aren't.

Anyone that came back asking for a flag to disable host key verification seemed happy with our argument for why that's not really much different from just disabling encryption.

See "Trust" here: https://neo4j.com/docs/developer-manual/current/drivers/conf...

As I understand the product that would be like exploiting paper.

I passionately disagree with the concept of a wealth tax, unless it's only on new wealth (also known as income), because otherwise you're taxing money that has already been taxed. Money should only be taxed once.

All of that said, I strongly agree with your first point. People pay corporate taxes through: 1) higher prices for products and services, 2) less employment, 3) lower returns on investments (a lot of people have 401Ks). Corporate taxes just obscure a person's tax burden.

"""While minimalism is one aspect of one view of good design, it’s often overused, underconsidered, and misunderstood, resulting in products with surface-level appeal that don’t actually work very well because they were optimized for visual design and minimalism rather than overall real-world usefulness."""

-=-=

this is a crisp characterization of the problem of silicon valley product design today. almost every redesign of major products brings a simpler, more beautiful design which ends up being less useful.

i'm strongly in the boat that the purpose of design is to solve people's problems in ways that are hard to think of but easy to appreciate. in the way that a good symphony is hard to write but easy to recognize.

-=-=

in the 90s the design of mass products like AOL got too complex and it created an opportunity for people to enter the market with simpler designs which were more usable. but now we've gone too far. the designs are simpler than ever, but no longer in the service of greater usability. it's time to make tech product design less minimal, less simple, but more useful.

-=-=

the culture of designers is a core part of the cause of over pivot. it's elegant to list out a series of design principles (interface guidelines) and then reject every problem that can't be solved within those principles. it's elegant, but does not necessarily produce better product designs.

This is a common irrational argument (meaning it requires more work to determine truth) regarding the exhaustion of "supply". A "coin" is simply a numeric value in a wallet of a whole amount. Fractional amounts can, and will, continue to be "created" using subdivision of existing coin. There is, with future code changes, no limit to the precision of the values stored there, so even a sub fraction of a bitcoin will still do to serve the entire network, if the network is still operating, of course.

The deflation issue is what is really addressed here, where no new coins will be introduced at a given point. Whether new coin arrives or not, is really not an issue. An analogy would be the use of pennies if all the paper money went missing.
Assuming your city has a public library, and you check out only 10 books a month, your child will be exposed to many more books growing up than if you buy books (as buying you are limited by space and money).

Of course, one can check out way more than 10 books per month if they are really a bookworm.
