This doesn't convince me. As a consumer patents and patent lawsuits are almost always bad. Patents reduce options in the market, lawsuits between companies waste resources, startups being acquired reduce market options. The only real argument is that it will prevent communities from forming. But I don't buy it. Open source needs competition too, monolythic ecosystems are bad. As an example, Apple didn't want to contribute to gcc so they created LLVM which is a boon to everybody.
I don't trust Google. I couldn't use fuchsia on principle.

Ignoring the reasons why I don't trust Google, being able to trust your tools, especially your desktop, is the most important thing for me. I would love to have my emails delivered to a global document store so many smaller apps could take advantage of them, but only so long as I could guarantee there is no special 'google play services' app needing to run in the background doing who-knows-what with root.
That's fine if you don't have any interests that involve the physical world.

My tool cabinet has about $4000 in tools at this point, many motorcycle-specific ordered from abroad and not easily borrowed or bought at short notice.

I wouldn't hire someone who formats their CV like that. Employment is a serious proposition, and ... Ah just kidding. Nice CV.
I agree. However to tame the aggressive nature in ourselves and others we need to be more powerful than the corresponding selves. In the end most people can be happy if they can tame themselves. But the problem is that there are untamed people stronger, smarter and more powerful than most of us.

And as far as I know you can't overwrite violence with togetherness, but the other way around is easy.
Hershey's chocolate contains milk, which comes from a pregnant cow, which produces actual estrogen in massive quantities. It also contains isoflavones (aka phytoestrogens) from the cacao. If you're eating dairy and chocolate while avoiding soy, you're probably paying too much attention to FUD.
The visual system do not work in frames (well, on a fundamental level I supose it does, with the indivitual photons and nerve impulses being the smallest unit, but that is not a limit in practice). The information the retina captures is streamed continuesly to the brain, so higher FPS provides a higher temporal resolution for the visual experience.

I don't think a fighter pilot inheriently react faster because of the resolution, but he is trained to detect motion in his peripheral vision. Perhaps he notice the smooth motion more than people who rarely train that part of their visual system. It would be interested to see how a trained and experience hunter would compare, as they often use peripheral vision as well.
Perhaps, but your phrasing certainly made it sound like you were speaking a universal truth.

so you're sleeping on the floor, do sports in your work clothing and always eat out? they'd sure as hell wouldn't allow you to back your kitchen knives after all. or any of your cooking utensils for that matter.

a tv for gaming/television is also out of the question, they'd never let you take that along in your suitcase.

doesn't sound like a life i'd like to be honest.

in all seriousness, its perfectly fine to have stuff. just ask yourself before you buy it, wherever you'll still be using it in ~12 month or so. otherwise, its probably just a fad you shouldn't spent money on.
The question isn't why we didn't repair our neighbor's roof (I wouldn't know how either), but why we didn't invite them to sleep at our house while theirs was flooding.

> Real life is full of examples, from salt in your soup to water behind a dam, where we understand that's good to increase the level to a point, but only to a point.

And somehow this point is lost on many proponents of raising the minimum wage, who find obvious that any increase in minimum wage can only be good and anyone saying otherwise is evil. Sometimes the soup would be better with less salt, minimum wages could be too high already!
Small additions here: the networking components of QNX moved to kernel space quite some time ago, I don't even know if io-net is still supported. As far as I know they've reused the NetBSD stack for performance reasons. Also, those 60KB gives you a bare-bones system that is far from what people expect a POSIX system to be; you'd have to add plenty of additional processes to get there.

I still have a soft spot for QNX though; I hope they'll survive RIM.
Only about 20% of Firefox add-ons have been converted to WebExtension format.

One of the headaches is that access to local storage is asynchronous (in the "promise" sense) in WebExtensions. As a result, if you want something based on stored data such as a stored script or a blocklist to happen early, during page load, you can't get it to run soon enough. This breaks Greasemonkey[1] and NoScript.[2] WebExtensions needs some extensions for them to work. The new features appear to be coming, but represent divergence from cross-platform WebExtensions, and they may not be working in the release version before the XUL death date.

Fortunately, my own add-on didn't need anything that isn't working yet, so I had a successful port.

So you are proposing that high cooperation is dependent on low government intervention. This seems incorrect. In Denmark for example there is a far more interventionist state than in the US, while membership of associations and clubs is also very high.
> A legal marriage is a legal contract

Not really; its sometimes referred to as a contract, but legally the law of contracts doesn't apply either in formation of marriages, or when the expectations associated with marriage are broken.

Marriage is somewhat analogous to a legal partership (especially in common law jurisdictions, where merely behaving as if it existed can cause it to legally exist.)
It's also simply more efficient, it's one less thing to think about instead of searching for a table every time.

Ask HN: Can I release code from employment that had an ISC license?
Hey HN,

I want to release some code that I have written and another co-worker as well. Obviously, I wouldn't do this if this weren't the case, but there's an ISC license attached to the codebase.

Does this make it legal and safe to release parts of the code into the open source community?
Barring any circumstances other than the ones you mentioned, I don't keep in touch. If they can't be bothered to download some form of IM or email then what's the point? If they really want to hear from you they'd make somewhat of an effort.

Social media became 'essential' because the barrier to communication dropped drastically, effectively widening your net for useless connections and sucking you into a vortex of crap.

After deleting FB, I could only remember a handful of people that mattered, another few reaching out of their own accord who I'd forgotten about.

Can't for the life of me remember beyond 30~ people from my list out of 900~. I realized I truly did not give a fuck about Kristoffer from Norway that I met zip lining in Mexico in the summer of 08.

"Table sugar" (sucrose) is a bonded glucose and fructose molecule.

HFCS is roughly the same ratio, though not bonded. The bond breakdown is pretty much instantaneous within the GI tract from my understanding.

This suggests little actual difference between sucrose and HFCS.... keep reading ...

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sucrose

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-fructose_corn_syrup

... though Robert Lustig who studies this now seems to be claiming that there are different metabolic effects for sucrose and HFCS:

Lustig also confirms what many consumers have intuitively figured out — that “sucrose (sugar) and HFCS have different metabolic effects,” including those that come from the much higher fructose content of HFCS which can range from 55 to 90 percent, and in the case of crystalline fructose to practically 100 percent. (Sucrose, or natural sugar, by contrast is a 50/50 combination of bound glucose and fructose).

It has apps for iOS and Android and app for MacOS.
It is very fast (at least this is my experience) and supports sync with iCloud and Dropbox and Google Drive. I use only iClod and it works amazingly.

I am using it for over 3 years I think.

What is the safe alternative here?

I mean probably FB got patents.

and

Probably they have at least one that covers things React can do.

Almost every framework moved to components and virtual DOM.

So there is a big chance that any framework out there could infringe some of these React patents.

So their either can

revoke your React license when you sue them

or

Sue you over patent infringement if you don't use React

What's morally reprehensible is that you think you have any right, or beyond that an obligation, to steer technology in such a way as to control others in accordance with your pseudo-moral code.
I find it funny that someone who calls themselves a minimalist would keep physical books.
It's the logical consequence of the simplistic argument used by many: "raising the minimum wage is good".
Really? Who did the quantification? Citation needed.

Probably you missed the "increasing body of research" mentioned in TFA then...

"According to a study on the cost of interrupted work, a typical office worker is interrupted every 11 minutes. Even worse, people often take up to 25 minutes to refocus on the original task."

"Researchers have found that the loss of productivity due to noise distraction doubles in open office layouts compared to private offices, and open office noise reduces the ability to recall information, and even to do basic arithmetic."

"In a 2013 study about the privacy-communication trade-off in open offices, 60% of cubicle workers and half of all employees in partitionless offices said the lack of sound privacy was a significant problem."

" A study on the association between sick days and open office plans found that people working in open offices took 62% more sick days than those in private offices. And remember all those interruptions that workers experience in open offices? In a survey in the International Journal of Stress Management, employees who were frequently interrupted reported 9% higher rates of exhaustion."

"Clearly, open office layouts aren’t the hotbeds of creativity designers originally hoped they would be. And with office space at a premium, private offices for everyone isn’t a realistic alternative, nor is it ideal. The ebb and flow of effective collaboration requires several types of spaces. As workplace experts outlined in the Harvard Business Review, employees tend to generate ideas and process information alone or in pairs, then come together in a larger group to build on those ideas, and then disperse again to take the next steps."

A twin-engine plane with two good engines, and the capability to fly on one alone, is safer than a single-engine plane.

A twin-engine plane with two fault-prone engines, where the failure of one can result in the failure of the other, and without the ability to fly on a single (or no) engines, is not safer than a single-engine plane.

I mean... If you stopped for a week would you have more? Or is it the same everyday haha.
Good points, I agree
You can do better than that for a source. http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%... :

I. earth opp. to heaven, or land opp. to sea; κατὰ γῆν on land, by land

2. earth, as an element, opp. to air, water, fire

II. a land, country; γῆν πρὸ γῆς from land to land

III. the earth or ground as tilled

IV. a lump of earth, in the phrase γῆν καὶ ὕδωρ αἰτεῖν, γῆν καὶ ὕδωρ διδόναι, in token of submission

http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%... is a much more detailed, less quotable dictionary entry.

As you can see, the greek word refers equally well to the planet (sense I, "the earth, including land and sea, in contrast to heaven") and the dirt (senses 2, III, and IV), just like the english word.
>I can't speak for the rest of The West, but the safety net in the US has been getting better over time. Compared to my childhood it's easier to qualify for government assistance and it's easier to get medical care.

I agree that the single shot approach in YOLO was pretty clearly a big step forward. In the two years since though there much of the efficiency work has been in the underlying feature detector architecture, which as you point out should integrate well with the YOLO9000 training improvements. It's very cool to see this kind of capability get within range of phone-sized devices.

I am very sad to hear this. Yes, this is antipattern, yes, selectors are doomed, but I had so many good experiences of introducing automated integration tests with IDE to QA teams, who later moved to hand-written tests. Learning curve was small and benefits were quick.
That's not the safety net, that's a condition contributing to whether people who need the safety net.

But, yes, in a number of key respects, the safety net has gotten worse, too. And it's harder to qualify for most assistance (other than health insurance subsidies) than it was pre-“Welfare Reform”.

Being apart of the generation that you would expect to mostly share memories via insta or FB, I actually can't stand the idea...it's mostly my friends who do this & tag me in the the photo's.

I'm very much in the memento way of things, doesn't have to be related & for me at least it can be quite literally anything. I won't grab something for each place I go to but rather something that can define the whole trip. That's done, more subconsciously. Normally it's a wrist band (I tend to go to more festivals than day's out/traditional holidays) but I'll pick up anything, that last break I took was down to Cornwall & have picked up the smallest of pebbles but it's very particular to the geology in the area. Which to me say's a lot about the whole trip & the time it took place.
You can re-register deleted Outlook accounts without security checks
...and then use them to recover bank details/accounts.

In 2014 I migrated away from Microsoft products. I moved all but a few disused accounts over from my Outlook address to a new Tutanota email address and then deleted the account through Outlook’s settings.

Because last week I fancied playing games on my old Steam library, I tried to recover my old Outlook email so Steam could send a password reset link (as I never migrated Steam to Tutanota). I tried to recover the email but could not as in Outlook’s database it didn’t exist.

Out of curiosity for what would happen, I tried to register my old email address from scratch. It worked without having to verify any old passwords or security questions. All my old emails were gone but this did enable me to receive Steam’s password reset email.

This seemed like very poor security practices on the part of Outlook and I wanted to see how far I could push it, so next I tried to recover my Paypal account.

As soon after migrating my Paypal account to my Tutanota address I had to create an entirely new account for business purposes, my old account fell into disuse. I sent an email to Paypal customer support stating that my login no longer worked and that I feared my account had been compromised. As no transactions had been made since I changed the email account on file with Paypal, customer support were able to bypass all fraud proceedings and simply revert my account email to my old Outlook address and send me a reset link (as obviously I was the account owner as I had access to the original email address). My Paypal account still had my active card linked.

Put simply, I recovered access to the entirety of my bank account by registering an email address anyone could’ve registered.

This could be exploited en mass quite easily by brute-forcing a list of Outlook accounts until you get lucky.
