> I'd go as far as to say that "left" and "right" don't even really mean anything anymore. Those terms now are just pejoratives that refer to a perceived group that "doesn't agree with me".

I can see that being the case in the US, and in other countries with de jure or de facto bipartidism. But left and right still retain their economic meaning.
Facebook is infrastructure. It provides the connections out to your personal network. Facebook's staying power comes from its ability to say "This is the best way to communicate with your personal network at any time". "File hosting" is just one subelement of that, because one of the things that you may want to share is a file.

Couldn't the whole internet be generalized as "file hosting with a bunch of links"? A "file host" is a company whose primary purpose is for you to upload a file and give the link to someone else; they're a middleman that exists only because a more convenient/direct means of distribution to the intended network isn't available. This does not make the company nearly loud enough to establish its own identity/user base.

Facebook has always been its own repository of people intelligence. It was never just an "upload your photos here". Such platforms, like Photobucket or Imgur, sometimes prosper for a while, until the communication channels that reach the intended audience directly offer something easier. (imgur is going down now as reddit introduced its own image host last year)
Sigh.

Wildcard certs, that are generally seen as a security risk, and could have been alleviated for most legitimate uses with higher limits on issuance per domain will be supported.

But S/MIME, the email encryption option that actually works out of the box in basically every mail client, sorry, nothing doing.
If Alex, Becky, and Charlie have been working with Dave for some time and think he's just fine, you might consider that your short interview appraisal of him might be flawed.
It most probably won't, multiple wildcard levels aren't even supported by commercial certificates as far as I know and would require quite some changes in networking infrastructure.

Anyways, free as in beer wildcard certificates are great news. :)

That we pit nature against nurture has within it the implicit assumption that what "nature" gives nurture can't change.

DNA is mechanistic in how it operates. Its power comes from our ignorance of the way it affects us. When we know how it works we're able to get in there and change our destiny. "Nature" and "nurture" aren't opposites, they're tightly integrated. To the extent they seem distinct it's because we are ignorant of how they relate in specific instances.

E.g. we might find that a particular gene is highly correlated with the early onset of kidney disease/failure. "Oh no!" says the person who finds out that they have a (say) 90% probability of kidney failure in before they're 60. What if, however, the entire reason that this gene led to kidney failure was because it decreased a person's desire to drink water? Low water consumption then led to stones leading to kidney disease. Given this information, the impact of the gene on kidney failure in an individual is entirely negated, because they can internally correct and just choose to drink more water.

This same line of reasoning can apply to intelligence: what if our genes code not for some mysterious magical "competence", but instead for a predisposition to find certain things interesting? And what if we're able to make the right things interesting in the right way? This enables us to significantly diminish the impact of those genes, too.

Similarly with dogs -- the impact of genes as an animal grows from being a baby to an adult is not on eventual outcome, it's on development. Some dogs are less trainable because they're less food motivated. What if, during the dog's development, we could slightly restrict access to food, and grow in the dog the desire for it? Now the dog is more trainable.
Isn't this what the AutoCloseable interface (combined with try-with-resources statements) addresses for everything except memory? It wasn't added until Java 1.7, though, so maybe the article predates that feature.

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/essential/exceptions...

...basically it's the same as .NET dispose pattern for achieving deterministic cleanup. Most IDEs and code analysis tools will throw a fit if you don't use an AutoCloseable/IDisposable class properly in a try-with-resources/using statement.

The definition of a turing machine is mathematically perfect. No threading, no IO, no error correction, no errors, no asynchronous events, no processes fighting over shared resources, no resources that might or might not disappear at the blink of an eye, in short no nothing. In that it is equivalent to a spherical brain, any complexity relevant to the problem at hand removed.

As a founder you could also set a positive example and say "I can't get anything done today" and take a break.

Fixed working hours are one of the biggest problems in a profession like software engineering. On some days you just can't get anything done. It would be better to just take the day off and come back fresh the next day instead of sitting around and pretending that you are working.

Nicolas Hulot is a known French environmental activist, AND a politician and a media producer. He survived in politics much longer than most "écologistes" politicians.

I think French government decided to use more regulation and less funding (see les echos [0]). But as most regulations come from EU, its regulation power is quite limited as well, hence curious statements like this one by N. Hulot.

> One problem with garbage collection is that it needs to see the entire memory used by the program even if the program is not using big parts of it for anything.

The first generational GC was proposed for Lisp in 1983. See Liebermann&Hewitt. The heap is divided into generations based on the lifetime of objects. Typically only the youngest generation, which is kept small, is scanned. This is based on the observation that a lot of objects are only short-lived. Thus a GC does typically does only need to look at a fraction of the memory.

Also GCs might want to use regions of similar objects. That way only those regions need to be looked at, which may free up space for an ohject that wants to be allocated currently.
I get the feeling a nice DSL or macros (Lisp not C style) would help. Also, I miss Symantec Q&A.

Ahh, keep talking long enough and it's obvious you don't know what your talking about.

We can easily do 20g on earth: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-G_training

1g is much easier in mars gravity as you can simply tilt the chamber at an angle while spinning it. Training centrifuges generally have the chamber on a hinge so you automatically get the correct angle.

Now, sure you lose some energy to friction. But, not all that much further, we have a lot of experience dealing with very heavy rotating objects for decades. EX: Power plants.
Good luck. It appears to me these people don't take kindly to outsiders. Look at how both sides have treated Trump. Anyone from the outside is going to get the same treatment no matter what side you are on.

What goes on in the mind of 'trolls'
My dad cured me of that by pointing out that if I had that third arm there would always be a project where I'd want a fourth anyway. It's the same argument that Danny Hillis gave me for the 1-bit ALU in the original connection machine design: "well, what number is correct? This way you can build any size you want" which was almost true.

However the second thumb is a great idea. I have long though that if there were some sort of god it must have been quite mean to choose five as the number of digits. Six, with an extra opposable thumb on the opposite side, would have been much much better (and even the same architecture but with a total of four would have been superior to the current setup).

Also annoying was turning the knobs for pi and e to irrational values.

Show HN: A website that shows you how a JPG was edited in Adobe Lightroom
I've found that "mental health" is little more than the APA trying to bully people. The APA is a joke because it views "you're depressed" as a scientific statement of fact rather than a way of bullying people. The reality is that it is ALWAYS bullies who bring up mental health. As soon as the subject of mental health comes up, people start acting like professional wrestlers because they know there is no response to the accusation, "you're crazy". So people act like stupid jerks who are putting on a show for ten year olds. They're both afraid of being called "crazy".

Just look at how awful people are when someone's mental health is questioned. Constitutional rights are flushed down the toilet and the accused is treated like a murderer.

What psychologists and psychoanalysts discovered is that you can bully people to the point where their family will pay for "therapy". Now, this "therapy" is little more than a chance for a professional bully to criticize your life. This bully, a "mental health professional", just wants more money. This bully will say anything in order to get you to keep coming back. This bully will ask about your dreams. This bully will tell you he knows what your dreams mean.

It is a scam, and the bullies who claim others lack "mental health" are parasites.

If you do research, you will find that other cultures consider western-style mental health a scam. Furthermore, it is impossible not to notice that an extraordinarily high number of veterans have "mental health issues". This is done to cover up the fact that a veteran is someone who has said, "I want to die for my country" but is no longer wanted for active service by their country. In other words, a veteran is a suicidal individual who is denied the chance to commit suicide through service. The "mental health" industry covers up this rather awkward situation by saying the soldier lacks "mental health" when in reality the society simply doesn't know what to do with him...after the society has given him the opportunity to say "I would rather die for all of you than live in your society as an ordinary citizen".

Society: DIE FOR US!

Soldier: OK, SIGN ME UP!

Society: NO, STOP IT!

Soldier: ???

The solution to this: put a bullet in the head of anyone who says "I want to die for my country". Genocide. Get rid of them. Don't let them cause trouble. Don't let weeds grow in your garden.

You want to die for your country? I'll kill you with my bare hands.

Pointing out something as unjustified is not redundant, especially ion a context where it appears to have been assumed.
The original (1917) is lost. There are more authorised replicas than four (I think 16). The one in Tate is the Milan version from 1964[0]. Tate owns the one numbered "2/8". I don't know which other Tate should own, the known versions are all somewhere else. I don't see a single reason why they would sit quietly on an unknown version just for "accidents".

[0]: There are 13 of them: 8 regular, 2 for museums, 2 proofs, 1 prototype (which was not listed officially at that time). Apparently they made at least four other unsigned replicas at that time under the direction of Duchamp.

"Mental Illnesses" are non-scientific and non-falsifiable.

See for a jump off point for your research: https://www.cchrint.org/psychiatric-disorders/no-medical-tes...

No progress will be made because there is nothing objective to measure or improve.

A Cult of Mental Illness has more in common with religion than medicine.

Furthermore. There is no "Mental" vs. "Physical". It is just one unit. Dualism is a construction of language and not objectively "there".

Imagine if the author just said: "I'm taking a day off for my health".

It would take on a different meaning but be completely equivalent in content and objective.

Then we could write an article about how "physical health" is stimatized.
That is excellent advice from your security team.
Part of the Blue Apron sell is you get to cook with 'fancy' ingredients that most grocers might not carry.

Whole Foods 365, for example, is an attempt to move the industry in the opposite direction by carrying far less than a standard market. You can certainly make delicious meals from the 365 inventory but can't necessarily fulfill a given recipe with the inventory at 365 or even a standard grocer. This is a common problem when 'cooking to the recipe'.

(though I'd agree this probably isn't enough on it's own to save blue apron)
Yeah, but when the team moves on from this new position, now that's the problem of the company that hired the team.

Yes, when people ask "is it art?" they're ussally actually asking is it good art? Who knows?

It's part of something broader. A lot of people seem to need whatever they enjoy (science fiction / comic / video games) to get a seal of approval as great and serious art. They complain that people don't respect the art they enjoy. Of course, when someone tries to do something serious in the genre/medium they complain that it is the wrong kind of whatever. You're supposed to respect first-person-shooters and space opera as great art. They don't want you to make anything that actually tries to be literary.

Tesla isn't making just electric cars. Most people don't realize how disrupting self driving cars can be. If they can get an Autonomous car before anyone, that enough makes a lot of people switch over.

Not only that, they can roll out a large fleet of cars and provide transportation on demand.

This means eating lunch from Uber, Lyft, UPS, Fedex, Food delivery, Hertz, Avis e.t.c

When iPhone came out, Blackberry and Nokia assumed it was an iPod (music player) that could make calls. In reality it was a computer that could fit in your pocket and do 100's of things.

Tesla is not just an electric car company. It's a personal computer on wheels. Their software is far ahead of any other car company. Their hardware is a lot simpler and efficient.

Maybe to limit the damage notified (and thus possibly upset) employees can cause.
its the space to store the cars, as well as the logistics of shipping them out - 14,000 cars comes out (optimistically) about 650 autoracks (railcars) per day - each one of those autoracks is 145 feet long. The scale of what is being discussed is near impossible, as it would mean an plant several orders of magnitude larger then any other ever constructed.. and I'm just focusing on the output - the logistics for the inputs for manufacturing are just as daunting.

Again, see my reply to ekianjo. The idea that "old-school hackers" were all libertarians and that the "hacker ethos" always consisted of the three things you mentioned above is mostly a myth that certain people are determinedly trying to turn into fact by rewriting history.

For instance, see ESR's rewrite of the Jargon File, which was condemned and disavowed by the actual old-school hackers precisely because it injected so much libertarian thinking where previously there was none.
> Germany's wind farms have nowhere to dump their electricity because it's too windy.

That's not how it works though. Electricity isn't 'dumped' other than by lowering the price of the producers. It's not as if there is a giant resistor somewhere that gets connected in parallel to get rid of unwanted electrons.

And if there are no consumers that want the power at any price what happens instead is that windmills will simply be furled. Depending on in which country this happens if the contract between the consumers and the producers stipulates it the windfarms that are requested to shut down will still get paid as if they're operational.

This situation has occured in Scotland, Germany and China in the last year or so. If France can buy power from Germany at rates that are lower than what it costs them to produce the power themselves then that's actually great news for renewables.

It is often said that windpower can not be used to provide base load power but that's not the whole story, you actually can provide base load power but you'll have to install a huge surplus in windpower to be able to do so with some regularity and you may end up transporting energy across distances too large to be economic.

The bigger problem with this is that even if windpower generated can fluctuate quite rapidly the only plants capable of matching those fluctuations fast enough are hydro and gas turbines. Neither coal nor nuclear has the capability to follow that quickly.
