Here's my favorite fan theory from HPMOR:

>NEO: I've kept quiet for as long as I could, but I feel a certain need to speak up at this point. The human body is the most inefficient source of energy you could possibly imagine. The efficiency of a power plant at converting thermal energy into electricity decreases as you run the turbines at lower temperatures. If you had any sort of food humans could eat, it would be more efficient to burn it in a furnace than feed it to humans. And now you're telling me that their food is the bodies of the dead, fed to the living? Haven't you ever heard of the laws of thermodynamics?

>MORPHEUS: Where did you hear about the laws of thermodynamics, Neo?

>NEO: Anyone who's made it past one science class in high school ought to know about the laws of thermodynamics!

>MORPHEUS: Where did you go to high school, Neo?

>(Pause.)

>NEO: ...in the Matrix.

>MORPHEUS: The machines tell elegant lies.

>(Pause.)

>NEO (in a small voice): Could I please have a real physics textbook?

>MORPHEUS: There is no such thing, Neo. The universe doesn't run on math.

I don't think there's any evidence of that either.
>Alcohol or drugs, for example.

drugs like marijuana make everything more stimulating. Food tastes better, music sounds better, you can enjoy movies from almost any genre.You can get into great conversations with your partner where you are actually interested in what they are saying. Get over musicians block and let the music flow. so on.
I don't think "we should strive to make unemployed people more miserable so they're more motivated to work" is a proposition worthy of serious consideration.
JSON has a well defined schema system that works across languages. http://json-schema.org/

The article addresses this: "While games improved since the turn of the century, labour-market options for young people got worse." That paragraph goes into more detail how the market has not been good for young people, and thus they turn to games, not the other way around.

Maybe with the exception of the public library.
Ask HN: Do you have voicemail turned on?
Inspired by: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14477017

How many of you have your voicemail setup so people can leave messages?
I have mine set to a 'disabled' message so anyone that calls and misses me is encouraged to SMS or email me - which is much easier for me to check than listening to an audio message.

Do any of you use voicemail-to-text services so you can read voicemails?
You really only need a double call. It's quite easy.

I wrote this ages ago http://edoceo.com/exemplar/call-to-voicemail

Oddly, my number gets blown up by these things.

In the right area of the country I could see a decent market for renting Jeep Wranglers and Rubicons as the rental options for that type of car tend to be fairly limited.

That said, off-road vehicles will tend to be taken off-road and beat up a bit. It's unclear whether the insurance covered by Turo covers the vehicle being used off-road etc. Of course, if someone is running this as a business, they can presumably get their own commercial insurance.

> So at what point are you allowed to fire someone for being incompetent?

If someone is still expected to be learning, mistakes (even large ones) are to be expected. Incompetence has to be judged against reasonable expectations. In the case here, there was a series of pretty severe mistakes, but deleting the database isn't what I'm thinking of.

Protecting the database was the job of the more experienced employees of the company, and ultimately the CTO. Some combination of people at the company were negligent, and the absence of actions taken to protect their systems shows a pattern of irresponsible behavior.
To be fair we're also hurtling toward ecological catastrophe and it's not clear we're gonna be able to do that indefinitely.
This is a weird article.

"Young people earn less, face higher unemployment rates than ever, and have been hit hard by financial recessions. Are video games to blame?"
I'm really enjoying reading about tla+ in the articles that have been posted lately.
The readme is awesome. Has anyone looked at the code? What can you actually do with this?
The problem is that you aren't just dealing with "any output from the first hashing algo", since passwords are going into that algo in the first place. A hashing algo can't add entropy, but collisions can reduce it.

That's rather verbose, though. I prefer the much more functional "schema" library:

What the article is suggesting is that the Linux architecture wasn't affected by organisational pressures that closed-source systems face.

That is to say that subsytems were defined solely based on technical considerations, which is how it should be if the goal is sound engineering.

Not sure what to make of the ratio between "specialists" and "generalists". A comparison to ratios from other projects would provide some helpful context.
what they are doing is initiating a call far enough for the phone system to busy out your phone, then very quickly placing a second call that the phone system sends straight to voicemail as your phone is busy.

I can tell you that's exactly what they are doing.
You can't. You need permission validation, data integrity check, time sensitivity check, caching, etc. for any decent crud app nowaday.
Sweden. A text message is faster and infinitely more accessible for the recipient.
If that is how it works, I can't see how they'll manage to argue these aren't calls in a court.
I disagree and argue that any damage to a home can be repaired in a way that makes things better, while most car repairs have a negative impact to the car's value.

Somebody damaging a wall: the drywall can be replaced and the whole room repainted, the end result is a nicer room.

Somebody damaging the side of your car: it's never going to look quite the same as it did before and the resale value is going to be impacted when it shows up on a Carfax report, etc.
Hmm. I worked on voice mail systems in the 90s (by then they were already old and encrusted with feature bloat). This is actually how they work: like email or any other message delivery system. Messages are sent and delivered into mailboxes. The typical "ring-no-answer -> automated attendant" workflow that everyone sees as the face of VM is in fact an application layered on to of the base messaging service. If you know how (and it hasn't been administratively disabled) you can log in, compose a message and give it a recipient list just like email. Yoh can even schedule delayed delivery, ask for read receipt and on and on.
> If you use a finger print sensor as a convenient first factor then you might as well still want a second factor.

You keep talking about factors, which is just a word, not a technical term. I repeat: you do not need u2f with fixed first layer. No plausible threat model. Malware attack gets delayed, not prevented. If you decide to reply please define word "factor".
You're also at an organization that selects for personalities susceptible to that. So many people want to work at companies like Google because they care more about the recognition for working at a company like Google than the actual work they do or impact they make. And that's a recipe for its own type of acedia.
i am working on an application that sends calls straight to voicemail. there's "an api" for that in germany, meaning you put special codes between area code and number.
There is no point whatsoever at which I said or implied that. I did not say he must get her a bigger house. I did say that the house they currently have might be able to work for all parties, but maybe the improvements he is making are about what he likes and her needs aren't really being addressed. I did suggest he seek mediation.

So, yeah, you have baggage and you are projecting all kinds of stuff onto me that I never said.

If you check my blog, I encouraged my adult sons to take over the women's work in order to let them avoid getting a job and let me put more of my energy into my corporate job. I have a proven track record of being willing to be the provider for an adult man. I think it unlikely I will ever be the provider for a lover though because all evidence suggests that men almost never take over the housework proficiently when they have a woman paying their bills. Everything I have ever heard indicates they typically sit on their ass, play video games and can't be bothered to cook. She works all day and then goes home and also cooks dinner.

I supported my sons because I came home and got served dinner. Most men seem incapable of really grasping that being a housewife is damn hard work and genuinely supports his career effort. An awful lot of them seem to think it is some pampered, privileged position where she sits around watching soap operas all day and eating bon bons while he busts his hump to support her in style.

If you want to reread my previous remarks and engage my actual points, I am happy to talk to you. But everything you have said so far is total and complete projection of things you imagine me to believe, not anything I actually fucking said.
While that may indeed be the propaganda, blaming addicts for their addictions can be victim-blaming. Some of the rhetoric blames the video game companies more than the consumers…

There's a pendulum swing - focusing on the problems of the system, and focusing on the problems of the individual.

In truth, there are problems both in the system and with individuals, and failings in each reinforce the other, and effective aspects of each also reinforce each other.
Similarly, Argonaut Games, the company that worked with Nintendo to produce StarFox and the SNES SuperFX chip. Their first interaction with Nintendo was when "Argonaut submitted a proof-of-concept method of defeating the Game Boy's copyright protection mechanism."

Another fun fact: Argonaut later evolved the very same SuperFX chip into the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARC_(processor), which is used in, among [many] other things, Intel's infamous Management Engine. You very likely have an Argonaut core in your computer.
Not just visually. Increased computing power and richer game frameworks will make for more compelling AIs. There are advances in procedural content generation that are getting past the saminess of endless variations on "kill ten rats." Open modding platforms (e.g. Minecraft) create whole communities around them, and endless supplies of content. I think we're still in the infancy of that trend. The immersivity of VR will make gaming experiences qualitatively more compelling than the screens of the past. There's a lot more going on than just increased polygon counts.
The vast majority of aftermarket electronics won't survive a load-dump transient. This includes every AC inverter, every USB charger, every laptop PSU, whatever you find at the store.

Most 12v-targeted electronics are good to about 30v transients. The DC-DC converters would likely be no more or less susceptible than the DC-AC inverter used here. Just quieter, smaller, and more efficient.

You're complaining that there isn't good tooling around the config file format for a project that is described as "in its early development stages" and provides "alpha releases". If you're talking about using this "while building business solutions on somebody else's dime" your getting way ahead of yourself. I'm sure they will expose a library for parsing and editing the config format before a general release.
I recently built https://debug-me.branchable.com/ which also does quick and easy terminal sharing, but with the addition of a cryptographically secure proof of what was done in the session, rooted at the gpg key of the person who connected to it.
Some people, smart and famous, still use vanilla emacs config/loading mechanisms (ensuring lazy loading).

I now use req-package so I don't even have to download anything.

I do miss the old style of one file per "kind" though. Doesn't mean use-package is bad but somehow I like having a FS-level idea of my emacs config.
That's the exact opposite actually. Nit saying it's a bad thing though. But it's important to understand that screens are taking your attention away. You are not in the moment at all.
What do you mean by 'out of the box'? jsonschema needs to be installed. It's not in the stdlib.

Not only are they cheap, but the nominal price of video games hasn't budged much in something like 30 years. AAA titles have always hit the market in the $50-$60 dollar range since the days of the NES (and maybe earlier, but that is before my time). It isn't surprising that video game companies have introduced additional revenue streams with DLC or microtransactions in order to counter inflation in both real dollars and in production budgets.
err, why would that be desirable? That seems like the worst case scenario, not the best.
I mean, it can't be too difficult to roughly guesstimate the number of individuals using blockchain tech, and if that is greater than half the population your bet is sorted.

Not sure if this was intended as a joke, or another one of those pedantic remarks. If they are serious about that argument they should start telling their advertisers not the total number of Unique Visitors, but the Unique Visitors in relation to the total number of Internet Users.

The point was not to get optimal international recognition. Almost the opposite: every symbol should be inoffensive and connote no negative or inappropriate ideas in 108 countries.

I have spent some time going back and replaying older games that I found amazing when I originally played them. Outside of simple reflex games like Tetris or Mario, game play has not aged well. Play a strategy or RPG video game from the mid 90s and see how fast it takes you to find some exploitable feature that makes the game trivial to beat.

Compare:

1. "Shogun: Total War" to "Warhammer: Total War" or

2. Civ2's city spamming to Civ5 really well designed gameplay.

3. 1993's Stronghold [0] is so easy for modern gamers to win it feels more like an interactive screensaver than a game and it was a great game when it was released.

The only real exception to this rule is RTS games like Starcraft or C&C, but only in multi-player.

tl;dr Gamers and game play are in a Red Queen's race with each other.

The tricky part would be eliminating non-stingray signals.

T-Mobile's HQ is in Bellevue, and I'm sure they have some test towers probably set up in their building. These signals can easily "get away from you."

I worked on Windows Phone, and we had a faraday cage setup with various different cellular networks coming in over the wire, which we would set up with different attenuation to test cellular radio handoff. One time someone left the door open, and the whole floor of the building roamed over to the UK. It was not a good day for international roaming charges.

Thanks so much for the in-depth response!

I've been tinkering with go, and the project I'm planning to use it for is container-oriented (building/using/distributing them for non-technical users, more than working with them at a very low level like runC or similar, but still, it's very useful to know). As an aside, umoci looks, at first glance, like one of the components I thought I'd need to build...so, that's cool.

I'm not gonna keep bugging you with questions; I'll go read the code. (I'm also finding rust really neat, conceptually, even if I'm not yet finding it easy to read or understand.)
I agree on both points. An interesting facet of your 1st point is Stroustrup's Rule [0], which gives more context for an explicit `nominal` keyword.

Cool tool but in the Readme you should probably explain a little bit 'how it works' rather than just 'how to work it'. In this case, I imagine it needs to connect to and trust some outside coordinating service run/owned by someone (you?).
I really like that it goes against the current cancer we are experiencing on the internet. That is,

* You don't need to rely or surrender to the cloud.

* Neither you nor the clients need to create an account (or worse, require a google/facebook account).
This is fascinating. It never occurred to me until now that there might be a window in the call process between "line is flagged as busy" and "phone rings."

I assume we're talking about a very narrow window here, right? How narrow?

Is it something that has always existed, or something that crept in because of the transition from phone-as-mechanical-device to phone-as-software?
And they accomplished that, by designing symbols that convey no meaning whatsoever.
my understanding is that the original draft of the script had humans being used as a massively parallel distributed processing network. their own brains were the wetware that run the matrix simulation program. that's more sensible and a much more profound statement as to the philosophical connections between the matrix and the social construction of consciousness, which was a major theme of the film.

but then some shit-for-brains hollywood producers read the script, decided it was too intellectual/nerdy and had it rewritten as "humans are batteries" which is gibberish to anyone with an education, but hollywood loves the lowest common denominator.

Because there's no ambiguity. I have no idea what those icons mean except 'cal' or 'kcal', so if I have to look up a legend then to decode it then I might as well have the word in place. A giant table of icons & numbers isn't necessary a better case than a giant table of words that I can read & numbers.
Would you be willing to elaborate on that a bit? Once upon a time, i played a few competitive games. I'd have to be very aware of my emotional state. Being aware of a sort of sick feeling when i'm falling behind, recognizing that that exists and not letting it affect my play seems like what people mean when they speak of mindfulness. And the converse, not getting cocky when pulling ahead. I also dealt with the random chemical changes of adrenaline. My hands get very cold and a little sweaty, heart races a bit. But that's just a thing that happens. being aware of it, acknowledging it and moving on with what i choose to do next seems like a mindful practice.

But maybe you mean something more sophisticated?
How would this work when my phone declines their call? I assume it would hang up on the first call, then be available to hand up on the second call?

It's easier to find books by title on the shelves of a French bookstore or library than an English/American one. The titles are justified evenly with the shelving. So you can scan along the shelf looking for your title once you are in the right section. With the English system, the title text starts at a different level, the height of the book. It is less efficient to scan.
That's seriously impressive to drain a car battery. Makes you wonder what in the hell that thing was doing. A phone-sized battery should probably be sufficient for their use case.
Isn't this exactly like in corporations?

I would imagine that this goes through someone's server. It would be helpful if the readme gave a little more detail about how this works.
