It was wrong then and it is still wrong.

First of all Netscape had the problem of incorporating opaque blobs from other sources. When they went open source, they couldn't keep those so ripped them out. Then the code didn't even compile.

Secondly that Netscape release that he mocked? That was the start of Mozilla, Firefox, and so on.

Third, how did Netscape survive? My impression from the sidelines is that it was a negotiation ploy from AOL. When their IE contract was up, they needed a viable alternative. In the end Microsoft let them continue using IE, PAID THEM MONEY, and had them shut down Netscape. They were laughing about this all of the way to the bank. And then Mozilla ate IE's lunch.

There have been a lot of rewrites. Some succeed, some fail. But it isn't always a bad idea to do one. And Netscape was a necessary one that succeeded in every measure that it was supposed to.
Oh.. my bad.
Yes, probably. It's just slightly insane to think you can opt-out of paying taxes via technology, or that taxes are somehow for the benefit of some nebulous "establishment".

That's empirically true, for only a tiny sliver of very strange people still fantasise about some Randian utopia of every-man-for-himself. And it's logically inescapable, since there's no way to sustain today's societies without the cooperation established by taxes.

Most utilitarians turn out not to actually think that way in real-life situations so I wouldn't worry about it. Moral realism is tied to religion for a lot of people and so some non-religious folks just reject it out of hand, which I think is a mistake.

IMO, moral truth exists as much as scientific truth we just interact with/discover it differently. The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy is a good place to start if the topic interests you:

And as you know each hexagram was composed of two groups (trigrams) of three pairs. Similar to bytes and nibbles.

Even though the superstition is unfounded, the trigrams could combine in any way to refer to concepts and expositions that could give a lot of food for thought. Quite a nice system and very elegant because of its basis in binary numbers.

Edit: and I think you meant to say 1000 BC, not AD. In short a LONG time ago!

Yeah... There are a lot more jokes and sarcasm being voted up on HN these days. It's always been around, but it used to be voted down a lot more. Can't say I'm happy about that change. It seems the fate of all vote-based communities to eventually devolve into Digg 3.0...
I don't see why everyone here would be in favor of this bill. Not only does it expand civil forfeiture, it also turns almost everyone who works or runs a legitimate business into a criminal. Everyone here seems to want more government, laws and regulations that will be used against regular people who would otherwise be law abiding citizens.
Jobs greatest skill was the ability to change his mind when the data proved him wrong. Lots of leaders will deny new info that contradicts their goals, or take far to long to actually take action when the truth was staring them in the face. Jobs could switch on a dime.

It was just impossible to gauge your tone from such a short comment. You make good points.
My understanding is that AMD probably originally designed SYSRET assuming that SS contained the correct values already (except SS.DPL of course, which I guess is where the stuff where they set it to RPL comes from). When they designed x86-64 however, they decided to set SS to null selectors in interrupts. Of course, these values are normally ignored in 64-bit long mode. Long mode is also when they fixed SYSCALL/SYSRET by adding an option to mask EFLAGS (and store the old value in R11): http://web.archive.org/web/20120813101603/http://www.x86-64....
Have to plug Soul of a New Machine as well. It's more about hardware than software--Data General's Eagle (MV/8000) minicomputer in the early 80s. I'm somewhat biased as I was the product manager for many of DG's systems over a fairly long period (starting about 5 years later) but it's still one of the best books about product development ever written.
Where's the data by brand and model? The objective measurements on 283 headphones and their prices would be great resource for everyone. The article can make its point without giving the raw data, but I wonder what their reasons are for excluding such useful and interesting data. Fear of silly lawsuits from manufacturers?

Interesting side note, Ableton actually has a really interesting low-level API for music makers called Max for Live that lets anybody create interesting instruments or effects and share them with others.

Unfortunately the world needs a police. The UN isn't effective. So the US takes a lot of heat for meddling in other country's affairs.

I'd personally like to see us move off a lot of bases, but when shit hits the fan and history repeats itself, a lot of the anti-US critics are going to jump on the wagon. Reminds me of Billy Madison - "Man, I'm glad I called that guy!".

While the described system has some powers of 2, which is interesting, it is a far cry from positional binary. It most certainly does not prefigure the system described by Leibniz, nor the application of arithmetical operations to logic, which was the profound insight in question. This shares far more with things like the base-60 fractions used by Mesopotamians than anything recognizably similar to modern binary and logic systems. (Which of course derive a great deal from Aristotle, significantly more than 600 years ago).
They got tricked by gov't propaganda into thinking that only criminals launder money when in fact money laundering has ben extended to saving over $10k in cash under your matress. If you do that then you're obviously a criminal and your cash can be confiscated, your bank accounts can be frozen without due trial or a court order. The hunt for money is on.
In the links you provide, you compare the F1 score for snips with other major competitors on 70 queries.

Then you show the F1 score for snips on 2000 queries. Obviously you see improvements and that's good. What I don't understand is why don't you show the F1 score for the other competitors on 2000 queries? If you're able to generate 2000 input from the original 70, what prevents you from feeding those to the other NLP engines? Do they all get a 93% F1 score ?

Yes,the last one was a typo. Phone input. My argument is bitcoin relies on a consistent ledger to function. It relies on a distributed system to compute the ledger, but it depends on consistency to function. This makes it ACT like a centralized system and therefore it functionally IS one. A real decentalized system functions with inconsistency.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Radio_Mondiale

But there are some benefits which you didn't mention, such as including text & images in the broadcast for people without internet access, kind of like what Microsoft attempted a decade ago with FM subcarriers. There isn't that much bandwidth available for analogue AM radio either; using DRM would at least double that. And then there's the claim that switching to DAB allows for decreasing the output power, but I don't know if that really holds true in practice.

The fun thing is that if they got rid of things like segmentation (make segment register instructions fault), 90%+ of modern x86 user mode code would still work.
Vultr is at $2.50 a month for 512mb ram which is plenty for a side project. As for your tech stack you'd use Linux of course but as for programming language it's your preference.

I think my current favorite stack would be node + mongo + vue for a side project. Sure people hate mongo for big projects, but it's just so stinking convenient.
>You’re going to have to give up nights and weekends probably for a couple years as we make this product.

The right response is always "Ok boss, but you're gonna have to give up 30% more money to my salary".
The avian brain is fairly different from the primate brain though, so if a bird language area were to exist, it wouldn't necessarily look like the human ones.

You're also giving birdsong fairly short shrift here. It is definitely not just mimicry--the songs that birds sing are not exact copies of their fathers' songs and the songs' length and complexity plays a role in attracting mates.

It's unclear if birds can learn sequences which are as complex as human languages but it's certainly not as settled as you make it sound. It looks like finches do learn regular languages, but the center-embedding stuff is a lot more controversial (and, as a counterpoint, humans don't actually nest center-embedding clauses very deeply either).
You still have almost no power as an individual. It's majority rules. It's a glaring flaw of 'democracy' that prominent figures and governments have tried to work around.

If you perform well and have decent bargaining power, you would not be in the majority. The people who have the most to gain from a union (people who have low individual bargaining power) would likely be the most vocal and involved in the organization.

An Ableton thread made it to the front page of HN?! YES. Awesome work. +100 on the expanded dedicated mixer view. I like Live because it's so music and the Push 2 is epic, not because I make electronic music.

I noticed metering was on the survey. I really wish that within a device rack (along the bottom) the metering between devices had settings that let you see Peak, RMS, and a numbered meter. You could do it all with lines... one meter for RMS, peaks that sit at the top, and tick marks for 0, -6, -12, -18. Most people don't fully appreciate gain staging and it's so important. I use a lot of vintage Waves plugins (CLA-76, LA-2A, API 550/2500) and I'm always having to insert Klanghelm meters, Utility effects, or observe the In/Out reading on those plugins to make sure I'm driving them right. The device area becomes messy just because a simple lack of metering and gain staging.

Sadly, I think most EDM music makers don't understand this. Maybe I'm stuck in the acoustic 70s using these vintage-style plugins. =)

My other beef is lack of Arrangement View features on Push 2, but alas, this isn't a hardware redesign. =) NICE WORK.

I'm not a labor economist but I suspect that unions work best for workers well below the $250,000 salary. For lower skilled jobs the pricing power for labor in the U.S. is clearly with employers. Unions can help with bringing pricing power to a more equal level. Lower skilled workers almost certainly aren't going to out negotiate a union.

Is SHA-3 slow?
Yes. But it's transmission to/from meatspace that's already problematic. And this will make it harder in the US. There are services that sell cryptocurrencies anonymously, accepting cash, gold or silver by mail.

Cashing out anonymously is much harder. Receiving cash by mail could become the only viable option. And there's considerable risk of discovery. Strict compartmentalization of online cryptocurrencies and meatspace is arguably the safest option.
> I keep my wallets in a private cloud. I don't see how a border agent could know they exist.

When you exchange over $10k in cryptocurrency to actual cash, the exchange will have the obligation if reporting it. Also don't even think of breaking the exchange into 10 transactions of $1k because that too is covered by the law.
What you're missing is that positional numeral systems developed relatively late--in recorded history, which is well after number systems start to be encoded in language. Earlier numeral systems are counting systems, where zero isn't a proper number but rather a signifier for a lack of stuff.

Let's look at numbers in natural languages. In English, we start with 12 basic numbers--one through twelve--and then we start counting "three-ten", "four-ten", etc. through "nine-ten." After that, we say "two tens" (the "tens" gets corrupted to -ty in Modern English), then "two tens one", etc. Note that we're not saying "two tens zero"--that's a sign that zero is not really fundamental in our counting system (etymologically, the term "zero" in English appears to date only to around 1600, contrast that to the -ty affix that dates back to at least Proto-Germanic, although many of the numbers themselves have roots back in Proto-Indo-European).

You can also see this effect in early numeral systems. Note that Roman numerals--the most common numeral system in Europe until the Early Modern--has distinct letters for 5 (V), 50 (L), and 500 (D), which is the usual case in most of its contemporary numeral systems. The Greek numerals for, say, 666, would be χξϛ--same general principal as Roman numerals, even though it has distinct numerals for every digit rather than just ones and fives.

The actual development of a true zero and true positional numeral system appears to have only independently happened very few times. The Mesoamericans probably developed it around the same time as the Long Count calendar (exact date uncertain, but roughly contemporary with the Roman Empire). Hindu-Arabic numerals developed probably slightly later (thought to be around 400 AD or so)--and it's from this system that pretty much every modern numeral system comes. The quipu could definitely represent numbers in true positional fashion, although the dating of this is unknown to me.

Base 10 predominates in modern numeral systems primarily because of the primacy of Hindu-Arabic numerals. The derivation of number terms in natural languages shows a rather confusing panoply of numbering bases. The vigesimal and sexagesimal number systems of Mesoamerica and Mesopotamia do show residual base-5 and base-10 in their construction, and the terminology in relevant native languages tends to indicate a base 10 strata (so the number in "78" in Mayan and Nahuatl boils down to "three twenty ten eight"), which strongly suggests that these systems are chosen for accounting purposes, not for things like "counting on fingers and toes." It's also worth pointing out that the human visual system subitizes small numbers--basically, you don't need to count three objects, you just take a glance and immediately know "there are three"--and this process tends to break down around 4-6 objects. It's not hard to imagine that number systems like duodecimal or vigesimal are based on counting subitized groups.
Statutes are a lagging (not leading) indicator of consensus about acceptable behavior. Law is evidence to help establish that society, at least at what time, found a certain behavior unacceptable. It also has to be willing to enforce it rigorously and consistently today.

It's good hygeine to repeal or amend laws that we aren't willing to enforce, but it doesn't always happen. If it does happen, it's almost always after, not before, doing what the law prohibits becomes widespread and socially acceptable.

It might be morally necessary to abstain from behaviors your community finds unacceptable. It might also be morally necessary for the executive branch to enforce the laws exactly as written, no matter how poorly they track moral consensus, until the laws are changed.

It doesn't follow that it's morally obligatory to follow the law just because it's the law.
I would suggest trying a relevant local meetup event. At in India, there is a general body - NASSCOM - which organises events and conferences where one would find a mentor or someone to look up to and learn from them.

You are wrong, they are inventions used for a political purpose. Try making your own currency and markets if you want proof. Bitcoin is a perfect example.

It's not that hard. If you limit yourself to two symbols and try to think of ways to represent as many things as you can, you just have to keep adding additional columns/rows.

As long as you realize that you can use different combinations of the "first" spots with each additional spot you quickly come up with what is effectively binary.

I distinctly remember in early middle school trying to think of ways to enumerate things where you could never confuse one for the other based on the symbols. I was using base 10 because I wanted to store the combination of things in a variable in BASIC on a program I was trying to write on my calculator. As I was playing around on paper I came up with a great system.

I would only use one and zero because you could always tell them apart, where as if you use the other numbers then you can't tell if you meant five or if that five was a combination of two and three. When you needed to make another thing and you were out of places you would just add a digit on the left.

Then about five seconds later it hit me that what I had was just binary. All of a sudden the idea of using individual bits in masks to represent things (which I'd seen before) made a lot more sense.
Nonviolent resistance is also a viable option. See Gandhi.
the sticks are literal sticks, used in fortune telling. It's roughly equivalent to flipping a coin. If you had a game where you flipped six coins, and each combination had a different meaning, you would be close to inventing binary
Seems you can find them here :-)
> It's not a math equation, but rather the consensus of your peers.

Make that the consensus of your peers' so called representatives in Congress, because we're not direct democracies like ancient Greece. Politicians took care to subvert the power from the people to line up their pockets.
You don't buy a CPU alone. You buy a whole server. If the CPU increases 1000$ in price to gain 10% performance but the complete server already is 20000$, it's quite worth it to go from 20000$ to 21000$ for 10% of performance.

Also if you factor in a performance critical software for 100000$ that runs on that single node, you will buy the fastest hardware that you can get for a few thousand dollars more.
Rethinking MVC frameworks
I mean, if you are anti-union, it's a pretty genius play politically because it legalizes and incentivizes free riding.

Unions exist on dues. As organizations, they were already weakening, and then if you further limit membership, you've really undermined their ability to collective bargain.
Project versioning is my top request as well, aside from Linux compatibility.
I thought it would be obvious that I'm referring to the fact that prior to overpopulation of people, there developed a sustainable balance between wolves, elk, etc. We eliminated the wolves, and that is what led to the overpopulation of deer etc. So, the point is that we either fill the role of the wolves we eliminated or we bring back the wolves. The overpopulation of deer doesn't work.
Show HN: Android music synchronization with rsync
If this stuff is interesting to you, you should read about Geoff Saxe's work [0] with the Oksapmin people of Papua New Guinea. This book is newish (and I haven't read it, but I've read almost all of the studies the book is built on) and synthesizes a couple of decades of research into how these people count and talk about number and how that practice changed over time (there's some fascinating conclusions about how the base changed from base-27 to base-20 when western money, in particular the 1 pound : 20 shilling ratio, came to be more widely-used).

And yeah, more or less base-27. They used body parts to refer to numbers 1-27, and often anything higher than that was just "a lot", but they could count more using the system if needed. How the Oksapmin people mingled both traditional counting and modern arithmetic is pretty fascinating (and says a lot about the underlying cognitive processes that make humans able to reason about number).

MongoDB absolutely stores numbers as numbers. Always has.

And yes in a schemaless database you are required to manage the schema in your application layer as opposed to within the database. If we wanted a database with a rigid schema we would just use a SQL database.
