While I appreciate the idea that nature is hard to predict. We have seen many cases where nature has a predictible flow. Now, predicting it and influencing it are two different concepts. And while a board based on mania and joy of free thought may be predictable, influence it may be more difficult due to an effective way of self preservation and reliance on truth based entertainment
I'm rolling my eyes and guessing there's a significant positive correlation between people that believe chiropractics is bullshit and people that believe climate change isn't real.
I like the idea of dual booting with vanilla Android and CopperHeadOS. CopperheadOS could also have TrueCryptesque steg volumes. This would allow one to divide their testing and more sensitive data in different profiles. More importantly, you could turn off your phone and it would defaultly boot into the vanilla Android volume (especially good for customs/boarder crossing/TSA).
Let me know if you want to help me prototype this :)

This is not a fair comment: Ryzen had a crash that can be triggered by compiling with GCC and a memory compatibility issue where it cannot run them at their nominal speed. Ryzen is a really young architecture, it already had like 6 stable patches of microcode and you can expect way more.
I wonder if there's a CPU out there that doesn't have bugs.

Why is it the hip and cool thing to call the entire project a train wreck without any actual supporting evidence?

Half the subreddit seems to be die hard acolytes while the other half seem to be extremely bitter vets of a game that hasn't been launched.

The biggest game development project ever, with extraordinary transparency, and shoddy bloggers are still making money throwing out talking points about how it's a train wreck barely half way through development.

Again: without any actual proof. However, if there is any, I will gladly change my opinion.
Ask HN: How not to tire of a personal project?
I have read several stories about personal projects turning into something big or at least big enough to make a living out of it.

Working an hour or two every day would take months to have a minimum viable product.

Were people who completed a large-scale project simply having a great deal of discipline and did not get tired of the project? If so, how to develop such discipline?

Or did they have the opportunity to quit their job to accelerate development?
I'm in Germany and the two chiropractors I've dealth with have all been orthopedist (which is tightly regulated and requires a 72 months education) also.

My anecdotal experience has been similar. The orthopedist I occasioanlly go to use chiropractic methods only sometimes. Other times he just tells me to take some pain medicine and to rest. Besides, I don't have back pain often anyway (luckily).
Unless you happen to be a member of the world's largest common market. Germany alone has 3x the GDP of Russia.
>Rule of thumb: On a desktop, if you have an i5 you do not have Hyperthreading. All i3s and i7s do have Hyperthreading, as do new Kaby Lake Pentiums (G4560, 4600, 4620).

Hmm...either this statement is wrong or this desktop /proc/cpinfo is wrong:

$ grep -E 'model|stepping|cpu cores' /proc/cpuinfo | sort -u
cpu cores	: 4
model : 94
model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6600 CPU @ 3.30GHz
stepping	: 3
$ grep -q '^flags.*[[:space:]]ht[[:space:]]' /proc/cpuinfo && echo "Hyper-threading is supported"
Hyper-threading is supported

Intel's product spec page[1] lists this CPU as not supporting Hyper-Threading so I'm a bit puzzled as to why the ht flag is present.

>Extremely doubtful. 4Chan would be considered a "Chaotic Neutral" character. They do terrible stuff and great stuff, but no group can harness it for their own purposes. "Not your personal Army" is a common theme - which the study didn't even pay attention to. If the group smells blood they will attack, no matter who it is or what cause, "4 teh lulz." I mean that's where "Anonymous" basically originated.

I think this sums up 2012 4chan perfectly. However things have changed drastically. There is an extremely rigid, narrowly defined viewpoint of alt-right Trumpism there now. If you do not fall in line with it, you will be ostracized and targeted for attack. Before it was all about the 'lulz' and attacking people for no good reason. It is now an organized right wing hate machine with a very specific ideology.
There is so much work to do in a business that's not product development that having someone who can take care of that for you which can allow you to focus on the product is pretty amazing.

It does sound like maybe you have to be the leader though so identify things that need doing and delegate. Consider this your chance to develop your leadership skills.

However this isn't really ideal though because as a 50% cofounder he should be actively seeking non technical things to do to make the company better. At this stage of the company there is no such thing as not having enough work to do.

Likewise you need to be feeding back your progress to him so he sees progress on your side as well. Progress creates enthusiasm which is contagious; if he doesn't catch the bug and up his game soon you need to get him out. He clearly cares less than you at this point. If that doesn't change you're in trouble because the person who cares less always has the power in a relationship.

You're only a month away from launch so a wait and see attitude seems prudent but if your launch was a year away I'd suggest you get out. It seems like you're all in but he isn't yet. If that doesn't change your life will be miserable. Working remotely will not be your friend in this situation.

I think maybe you need a plan to get him out in case things don't work out. Has he put money into the company? Are you both doing this full time? Who owns the IP of the technical work done so far? Has he found customers for you yet or done any market research to guide the development of the product? Is he awesome at what he does? Can you easily close this company and restart without him?

Good luck!
The US DOJ certainly thinks that it has the right to go after a non-US citizen's assets in a foreign country even if the citizen has never been to the US, simply because the citizen's company had a server in the United States. All over copyright issues too.

It's ridiculous just how far reaching our government thinks it is sometimes.

Just got the 2017 no touchbar 13 macbook pro with the kaby lake i7. Should I be worried, can I even disable HT with mac. And presumably the update will be provided so the whole laptop is still ok?

It would be irresponsible to operate entirely off of crowdfunded cash because that money could go a lot farther if properly invested. If you invest, then sometimes you need more cash that you have on hand. You could sell some of your assets, but if you can reliably anticipate they'd sell for significantly more at some future time (relative to interest rates), then you're better off taking a loan and then paying it off when you sell assets later.
IMHO the obvious reason for the downfall of the guitar is the complete collapse of the music market, especially the "rock market". Who dreams of being a rockstar today? Nobody, you'll make more money playing jazz these days than rock, and in jazz the guitar is optional. I lived the whole Nirvana craze in the 90's and every kid out there dreamed of becoming Kurt Cobain. A shitload of guitars were sold at the time. These were the good times though.
Here's how to fix it on a Thinkpad on Linux. I've got a T460s and checked with the script[1] that it was indeed affected. The Debian instructions said to update your BIOS before updating the microcode package so I went to the model support page[2] to the BIOS/UEFI section and downloaded the "BIOS Update (Bootable CD)" one. The changelog included microcode updates so it looked promising[3]. To get the ISO onto a usb drive I did the following:

$ geteltorito n1cur14w.iso > eltorito-bios.iso # provided by the genisoimage package on Ubuntu
$ sudo dd if=eltorito-bios.iso of=/dev/sdXXX # replace with your usb drive with care to not write over your disk

I then had a bootable USB drive that I ran by rebooting the computer, pressing Enter and then F12 to get to the boot drive selection and selecting the USB. From then it's just following the options it gives you. It's basically pressing 2 to go into the update and then pressing Y and Enter a few times to tell it you really want to do it. After that just let it reboot a few times and the update is done. After booting again the same test script[1] now said I had an affected CPU but new enough microcode.

Show HN: Engauge, A/B testing for developers
Hi HN,

I started working on Engauge after being frustrated with the existing solutions to client-side a/b testing, and tired of building frameworks to run experiments while still having to run manual analyses. We're using an open source [0] experimentation algorithm that is optimized for lower-traffic use cases, and are introducing a free tier to help companies grow in their early stages. I would love to hear any feedback, especially on the product itself and the home page.

Thanks!

Early '90s. There are lots of versions of it. I played the tail end.
While I can't speak for OP, I've taken a similar approach with my own business. For me, the most important thing was to simply change my mindset from thinking "how can this person I just met help me (give me leads/business/etc)?" to: "how can I help this person I just met?" And that's going to be completely dependent on context. Maybe they need some help with a meetup, maybe they need some help with their iPhone, maybe they need some help with something completely non-tech related, and maybe they don't need help with anything at the moment. The point is: people like to help people who have helped them in the past. No one likes someone who appears selfish. Basically, just be a good friend to the people you meet.
$150M isn't that much of money if you consider their studious locations, game scale and quality of their marketing materials. I guess they spent a lot more money on marketing and communications with community since it's the only reason they managed to get so much money through crowdfunding.

For instance one of best and largest games recently produced is Witcher 3. It's cost about $81M [1] (half budget is marketing and probably localization, not sure what is source on this) and more than 250 [2] in-home developers (and 1500+ [3] people in total include localization) worked on it. And this is developers from Poland with significantly lower salaries and overall burn rate.

Now for instance about year ago Chris Roberts announced [4] they have following studios working on game: Frankfurt (50), Manchester (180), Los Angeles (60) and Austin (50). So it's about 350 developers and even if you take something like $80,000 burn rate per employee it's going to be a lot of money and actual number likely higher than that.

has anyone affected by this bug tried using a kernel configured with hyperthreading support disabled? would that work?
Actually anything n > 0 will mean you get customers by more than just marketing by definition. n > 1 for a static n is exponential growth.

Edit - though under 1 you can see a limit. For example, if n = 0.5 then you would expect to grow to twice the size. In reality it's much more complicated, but on a purely mathematical basis this should be right.

Norwegian didn't start in 2007. They go back to the early 90's.

Re: leasing. This is true of virtually all airlines these days outside of some flag carriers - I was being sloppy with my wording :) However, you get much better lease rates if you're willing to commit to a very large order and are negotiating it during a downturn. Which is what both Ryanair and Norwegian did.

Airline manufacturers and leasing companies traditionally experience a large drop off in their deal pipeline at the beginning of an economic shock/downturn because most airlines are badly run, cash strapped, slow moving and have no appetite from their creditors to commit to multi-billion, multi-year leases just when the wider economy is going to shit (and hurting their passenger loads). Non-legacy airlines (mainly budgets) have more tools available: they quickly drop routes, slash staff count etc. to ride the downturn while at the same time investing for the inevitable swing back. Helps too that they are the last to be hit by falling pax numbers since their ticket prices are so cheap.

There's lots of other factors at play too that I haven't really touched on. How an airline hedges its fuel and forex, what deals they have with airports, which manufacturer they standardise on (Boeing or Airbus), where they get their crews from, how they retail their tickets, which markets they're strong in, what AOC(s) they have, who their investors/creditors are (state, bank, sovereign wealth fund, pe, private) and on and on and on.
Or you can fly to ARN then OSL, which can be quicker.

There used to be OAK <-> OSL non-stop until last October but I guess there is not enough people to keep it sustainable.
> I would also argue metal was never mainstream.

Come on, it is/was, at least in Europe. Plenty of famous metal bands in the late 90's early 2000. Even death metal had a few commercial successes.
Scientific evidence is more than underwhelming when it comes to supporting chiropractic, which makes it very much unlike climate change.
In my limited experience, their root cause analyses are really impressive as well with lots of internal attention and resources. I'm not allowed to talk about any Intel issues, but we reported a very strange issue to Nvidia, sent a couple of dozen cards back and six months later got a truly fascinating report back we with hundreds of pages of compute test result tables and electron microscope images and chemistry lab reports. Anything that hints of a manufacturing problem is taken incredibly seriously.
Leaving your tracking device at home will eventually be a criminal offense, if it's even possible to do without ripping it out of the vital organ it's implanted in.
The entire game design and physics of SC is built around "World War 2, BUT IN SPACE". I mean damn, they even have actual cockpit windows with no appreciable polarization (note the freighter pilot blinded by a simple laser scanner in the second video).

That said, missiles with proximity detonation only make sense if they're actually built to be fragmentation weapons, not pure explosive-based, due to explosion shockwaves being useless in space thanks to a lack of medium to travel in. And even for fragmentation they'd need to get really close due to inverse square law.
Well if you're looking for anecdotal evidence: my last hobby project (OCR for a specific book+script), I used Mathematica to prototype (fast iteration) and C++ with OpenCV to implement it (way faster execution).

I started the project in Python but switched because it wasn't particularly good at anything vs. the combination of Mathematica and C++. Actually I prototyped it in C++ too before doing some extra analysis in Mathematica only because it had some algorithms that OpenCV didn't.
I used to think like that. But consider two things. The capabilities of the state actors are high. They cooperate with chipmakers and OS makers (or subvert or hack them). They compromise routers and hard drive firmware. Second, Kaplan's book documents multiple waves of cyber-fear in the US government; multiple US presidents starting with Reagan have tried and failed to secure our vulnerable systems. Simply put, corporations are not going to let NSA dictate security practices to them, because they need to make money and can't spend all day on security. Similar problems occur in military/government.

Remember how cannons made castles obsolete? We're in a similar era, where offense is outstripping defense.

Consider stuxnet. You have to assume Iran, which is smart enough to make nuclear weapons, took its best shot at securing that air-gapped network.

I think you have to accept that hoarding vulns is the international reality and difficult to change. Maybe a cyber-SALT treaty could change it.
You've subbed in "something larger" where I said "broadly representative".

Do you think the protests are broadly representative of attitudes at universities? Because sure, I bet that there are more than just the protesters. But colleges have pretty big populations, so the supporters of 40 protesters can still be a couple hundred people out of tens of thousands.

I've been to over thirty countries, including Russia.

The US was the worst and UK was the second worst out of all of them. Immigration always sucks just due to the nature of it, but there's a difference between the process sucking and the employees/policy going out of its way to make a bad situation much worse.
I think OP is pointing our reliance on technology. This contrasts to say soviet era surveillance or in fiction like 1984 in which escaping from the surveillance is not easy.

As someone living in Oslo, I don't find them terribly cheap for flying within Europe. It could be though that I've been spoilt on ticket prices from/to London. They do have decent sales sometimes, unlike EasyJet, Vueling, etc. whose sales barely amount to anything.

Apple takes out loans and they have billions.
There could be tax incentive to take out loans.

Are you using Firefox, perchance? It has a "bug" (not sure about that, but surely it's the only one that shows that behavior) relating to SVGs, so it used to size incorrectly the fouth icon. I worked it around some minutes ago and it should be fine.

The first icon should be Twitter, so maybe it's really Adblocker. I've tested it with uBlock Origin and it shows the same behavior but, honestly, I don't want to tamper with that.

The original models of the 50s and 60s sounded very differently. Modern incarnations of the old classics (Telecaster, Stratocaster, Les Paul, SG) are still produced and sold in large numbers, but it's mostly for the brand, as you mentioned.

Nowadays modern electric guitars are much more versatile. They generally can emulate the sound of the classics easily, but they play differently, they lack their slow, thick necks, their poor tuning, their noisy pickups... :)
For some reason, Debian says you need bios updates for certain machines, and Debian packaged microcode for others. I wouldn't be surprised if it is the same for Windows.

https://github.com/shi-yan/Swiftly

Swiftly is a framework I wrote on top of bare socket a while back. I'm now working on a simple saas idea with this.

I tried new languages and frameworks before, but I didn't like most of them. mostly because I don't like the programming language. Python for example, needs you to spend more time to dig documents in order to find out data types and you will have to execute your code to find out typo errors.

Before using my own code this time, I investigated perfect and django, but eventually decided to use my framework. because,
As for perfect, I found it unstable. The program crashes and no sufficient support. I disliked django because it's too high level, too much details are hidden behind it. I don't like to spend time on understand its config file.

/pol/ is almost entirely satire. The fact that so many people are falling for said satire makes it even funnier.
But it's not lying here. It's intentional hiding of facts. Not saying it won't get anyone in trouble.
This topic comes up on HN in some variation every 2-3 weeks...
This is about unlocking electronic equipment (phones) based on biometrics and not pin/passwords. I suppose the logic behind it is that the police are already allowed to do similar things. They can use physical force to restrain for instance. They can search one's possessions.

Or consider fingerprinting. What would happen if one were to refuse getting fingerprinted and made trouble? Are police allowed to use force in that case?
Most interesting thing about SC is Amazon has a game publishing arm and star citizen is using lumberyard. I hope that AGS has an interest in keeping it's most high profile client alive. Some of my most nostalgic childhood memories are playing privateer with my brother.
