Thinking a bit more about this, I think what feels off about it to me, is the invisible "type gymnastics" - it's something that might be a bad idea, but feel more natural, in assembly (that byte is what you decide it represents at any given moment). The individual numbers are signed ints, the sum overflows and is treated as an "unsigned two's complement binary" and shifted down to a signed int...

It feels like subtle subversion of java's admittedly strange type system for numbers (mix of raw integer types and boxed numbers is never going to be pretty...).

I guess you are aguing that you can't find 10-ish core npm maintainers that can be bothered to sign keys for well-known developers and bootstrap a web of trust that would then provide crypto attestation and perform basic gatekeeping on new package submissions.

It's not like you'd have to write a bunch of software. Also, other mission-critical open source repos have been doing this for at least a decade, so you don't even have to invent and validate a new set of processes for this.

For me, this calls into question the reliability and quality of the whole npm infrastructure and the packages it hosts.

Also, blaming users because npm (knowingly, through willful negligence) hosts malicious packages that typo squat on legitimate packages doesn't seem appropriate to me.

Google wasn't giving up too much in China. The search engine wasn't getting much tractions, based on differing asthetics.

Chinese websites are far more clustered and busy - take a look at https://world.taobao.com/. I guess that it's being shifted - baidu seems relatively uncluttered, but the Chinese aesthetic is cramming as much information as possible on the same web page.

I'm sure they'll find a way to screw this up (because it's Trump), but affirmative action does need reform. In its present state, it can theoretically benefit affluent under-represented minorities at the expense of impoverished Midwestern whites (and especially screws over disadvantaged Asian applicants). Affirmative action should be predicated on family income/net worth. As they presently stand, such programs are literally racist.

I've studied the amount of energy and water necessary to produce beef extensively, both at university and professionally, and I can say from experience that it would be extremely difficult for something like the impossible burger to consume more energy and water than the equivalent amount of actual meat.

Meat is expensive in energy and water because it takes huge amounts of vegetable matter and water for a period of _years_ to get to a point where it's consumable; by contrast, said vegetable matter can be produced in typically less than one year.
Yeah, when I saw "200 terabytes" I thought it was going to be about the Erdős discrepancy problem, since that's been making the rounds in the popular press, but turns out that only required 13 gigabytes for the 2010 proof.

I'm glad that Terry seems to have found a different proof. I attended a discussion of it during last week's Mathematical Congress of the Americas here in Mtl, and I think they were saying that Terry's proof seems correct.

No no - my 70 year old Russian mechanical watch is "that inaccurate"... (My Pebble's, and presumably the Apple Watch, sync themselves from what I assume is one of or some combination of ntp time, GSM/LTE time, or GPS time - from the phone they're paired with...)

Instead it gives a framework that will solve fairly arbitrary problems as you work on developing a unified theory. Techniques can be much more broadly useful than theories.

When I was working on my PhD, I probably saved days or weeks of effort by writing a program to brute force an approximate solution to an equation I couldn't work out. After seeing that the solution wasn't what I wanted, I was able to spend the time I would otherwise have spent on figuring out the equation on something more useful.
I also had the Impossible burger and was not impressed - to me, it was too greasy, and didn't have any real flavor of its own. I would not order it again for pretty much any reason - I actively disliked eating it.

If everyone in America reduced their consumption of meat to once a month, or even once a week, we'd already be cutting down by 6/7th. Right? Or at least half if given all the other industrial processes you've mentioned.

Raising the price of meat to the point where one can only afford to eat it once a week is more realistic and attainable in five years. Then from there, consumers may realise they don't want to pay for the luxury and stop eating meat altogether.

Realise that people's identities are tied to their diets. To ask them to change their culture requires either a Year Zero type change, or more subtle nudging.

His interview with Snowden is fantastic. He's clearly very sympathetic, but very strict.

Whenever Snowden starts techno-babbling, Oliver brings him back to "normal people level" with "how does this enable the NSA to see my private information?"

Clearly, Snowden is annoyed at first, because he's always taken back to "how can they see my dick pics", but I feel he realizes as the interview progresses that he's being given a much-needed lesson in public communication.
I don't disbelieve you, but in my particular case this would not be possible.

I exercise intensely at least 3 times per week. If you achieve your move goal 5 times per week, the Apple Watch software will automatically raise your move goal the following week, giving you the option to manually adjust it on the start of a new week. Because I let the software take its automatic course, my move goal at one point was 1160 calories.

So, when winter weather came as well as a period of work crunch, I simply couldn't spend the 2.5 hours/day biking to hit that move goal.

Since then, my move goal has gone up and down, my higher goals coinciding with better weather and longer days.

Long story short, hitting one's move goals for many weeks on end implies the wearer is manually adjusting the move goal down each week.

When you apply for ICP beian license at Aliyun (Alibaba's cloud), you either choose "I use Aliyun" and give them the server ID, or you choose "I use another server" and two additional fields appear: your server log in, your server password.

You need ICP license if you want to integrate any kind of service. Wechat, Alipay, other payment systems, SMS notifications etc, everything needs the ICP.

I guess AWS China also had to give up access to all servers to govt. And given the govt "professionalism" (check the China's Ministry of Information website), that's not the kind of access I'd like to give away.

So again, companies are fighting and vocal about "freedom", equality, lgbt rights etc only when it's convinient for them, as soon as they see that it might make them lose money - they will do whatever it takes to keep that cash flowing. Look at Tim Cook, how vocal he was in US with his LGBT support and anti-Trump position and other topics, but as soon as he sees that he can lose cash from China he does almost the same thing as what he is fighting against in US. How are these companies leaders different from those people in China who sit at a top of food chain and do same things because they worry about losing money after losing control...

The question isn't whether one group can be assumed better than the other (obviously, the ADL is less bad than ISIS). It's whether any group is "correct" enough to be trusted with controlling the spectrum of the conversation.

Beyond that basic observation, I can't speak to the other groups, but to me, the degree of anti-Arab bias that the ADL exhibits is really appalling, and I have no confidence whatsoever in their ability to fairly filter the news for the masses.

Benchmarking a Raspberry Pi Cluster
I am surprised at all of the app developer shaming in this thread. Is it really likely that every developer working on a popular BigCorp app is an idiot who imports 10MB libraries every time he/she faces the slightest challenge?

It's much more likely that app developers are optimizing for many things, including app size, but reducing app size has a bad cost/benefit ratio. Here are some decisions that may bloat your app:

* Want your network calls to be fast and reliable? Better use that cool new HTTP library rather than writing your own.

* Want to keep everything secure? Rule #1 of hacker news is never roll your own crypto so better import the best lib out there.

* Want to delight your users and their fancy QHD screens? Time to include some high res images and animations. Oh and you can't use vectors, they kill performance.

* Want to access new markets? Time to translate your strings into 80 common languages. Oh and some of these may require custom fonts to look right in your app.

* Want your Android game to have blazing fast graphics? Import that native library, and don't forget multiple architectures.

The biggest app I ever worked on was Google Santa Tracker. It was about 60MB. We spent a lot of time optimizing the app size in this year's version. We managed to drop 10MB while adding a few new games to the app. I'm proud of it, but if I didn't have the freedom to pursue app size I certainly would have taken the extra bloat to ship the new content.

>>potentially (and most likely) more land needed to produce equal amounts of meat

>Please explain this in more detail.

Sure! Plants are much less nutrient dense that animals. So for them to create fake meat that's equally nutrient dense as real meat, their farms have to be adequately large. You need a ton of plants to achieve the density of meat. Animals on land however are already nutrient dense. The only physical space they need is enough room to graze.

>>and sequesters carbon/methane as a side effect

>I have not heard of a farming practice that sequesters methane released from ruminants. Can you provide more information?

I'm glad everyone is so anti-censorship in this thread! Should tech companies also ignore censorship at the hands of European governments or Canada via "right to be forgotten" legislation? I seem to recall people on this site saying that it would be wrong for tech companies to resist the government in those cases. At least China isn't attempting to force censorship in other countries, unlike the Canadian government.
May have done a poor job of communicating it above but I do think the watch is swell and useful and I'm big on wearables.

But I also don't have a watch for reasons above and long term I'm even more skeptical of the form factor because I think that most of the utility can be replaced by other wearables, and some of those wearables are not replaceable while the watch is. As you mention, things like notes, daily calendar and tasks work great with Siri but if you think about it how necessary is the watch to those interactions? I think most can be done great with just a headset and when that's impractical you can take the phone out of your pocket. If you start with a wearable ecosystem where the headset is core then, as AI and voice assistants continue to improve, we should expect to see a lot of notifications and health tracking migrate there and that whittles the use cases of the watch down considerably.

If you take those away what do you have left? Payments/id, fashion, video playback, games, partial or total phone replacement. Payments seems large but a ring seems superior. Games, video and fashion don't seem like killer apps for the watch form factor. A phone replacement/platform for 4g and wifi radios seems like a killer app but does the watch do that better than other options? Maybe yes but maybe no. If we're talking a total phone replacement you probably want the radios next to wherever the camera migrates to.
That's going to be up to you, the amazon employee.
>but the Chinese aesthetic is cramming as much information as possible on the same web page

I suspect that the language just simply looks busy to people who aren't fluent/native, even if you know enough to actually read it. I had the same complaint in Japan, even though I could read most of it. At the same time, even in English, a large complaint on here is that most redesigns simply result in a dumbed down design with less information density.
Yes, agreed. If music doesn't have some copyright infringement grunginess to it, it's not for me.

Unlikely. Even now China has a surplus of 300 to 400 million people that work as subsistence farmers. There's nothing else for them to do. China's manufacturing is no longer expanding meaningfully. They have a truly massive supply of inexpensive labor still accordingly; however those people working as impoverished farmers have nowhere to go, and are held in place by the government, with no rights to property ownership of the farming land (which is also why China's farming productivity is so horrendous, it's intentional).

They have hundreds of millions of people living on less than $5 per day still. It's one of the greatest supplies of available cheap labor on the planet, and it's not disappearing any time soon.

Now that China has built up immense wealth domestically (along with the productivity, economic capability and infrastructure linked to that step-up), which is very tightly contained within its borders by law, the Communist Party's position is cemented. They have unlimited reach within their borders, they can use any of their industrial might for anything they want at any time, and they can seize any assets they want to at any time. That wealth isn't going away, and their ability to use/abuse it at will is also not going away. Their eventual population decline will do nothing more than than raise the median standard of living.
The Facebook API library provided by Facebook is notoriously huge in source code at least, and they're pretty proud of the size of it, can't find the link right now, but they had a blog post talking about it a few years ago ago.
Yes, I'm aware of these limitations. Neither of them refute my point, which is that you can trustlessly scale bitcoin basically as much as you want. Maybe you have "banks" (highly connected nodes), but it's still trustless, unlike with real banks.
I just want to point out that there are lots of ways to get umami. MSG is just one of them (and not really a great way IMHO).

I cooked vegan at home for a long time (I'm not actually an ethical vegan, I just like vegan food). Konbu dashi will give you similar glutamate profiles, but tomatoes, fermented products like shoyu and miso, etc are simple ways to boost the umami as well. Usually the biggest trick in good vegan food is to understand how to balance all of the flavours. Meat based cooking has so many savoury flavours, and if you simply cut out the meat, you end up with overly sweet/sour dishes. They lack depth. If you're designing a dish and you are waiting until the end to figure out how to get the umami in (for example, by adding MSG), then you're really not going to succeed most of the time IMHO. If I want a savoury dish, umami is where I start.

Having said that, I've never made a vegan burger style dish that I've thought was particularly good. I've had some excellent vegan dishes like that at restaurants and I've always wondered how they did it. Since MSG triggers migraines in me, I'm pretty sure it wasn't MSG :-)
Maven prevents this as well. To add a package to the global repository you need to show ownership of your namespace by posting your key, your website, your email, or most commonly these days your GitHub repo with identifying information. They do check to make sure you're allowed to use each package identifier.

All package submissions are hand-curated, which should catch typosquatters. There's a clearly laid out pattern for what package space you're allowed to use based on website or company ownership.

The system is highly automated but you have to wait to get your namespace approved. And it's not unrealistic to do this with npm, maven has somewhere over a million packages.
Haven't heard of this yet, really cool. Seems like a good team too. For sure going to keep my eye on this.
The Chinese government calls itself a communist government. I think the above comment is using communist as shorthand for 'authoritarianism clothed in communism,' which is normally the way things have turned out (USSR, China, Vietnam).

While that might be true, I do take it as a dis-advantage that the frameworks can't be easily overridden. I can just imagine the wasted minutes now, setting a font on the page only to watch it not change and wondering why pure would pick such specificity only to set the font to sans-serif. Imagine if they'd done that with the other bits? Made the styling so specific that you couldn't easily style on top of it.

Also I believe that Pure doesn't do the whole configure-with-sass thing -- though it can be customized, it's CSS only (https://github.com/yahoo/pure).

I wasn't aware of this shortcoming of Pure (maybe because I haven't used so many custom fonts), but I'm going to be keeping it in mind for the future.
