It is and it isn't. People have to write articles to make money. Most articles just say things to say them because the journalists/authors have to earn their pay checks.

> We know what we want, but we cannot have it because we are in a system that forces us to work.

"Let them eat cake"... Exactly. We all want shelter, food, necessity and money to survive.

> who is this guy to tell us what life should be like when he seems so out of touch.

He's just some guy who is trying to get you to click and read his articles so that he can make money.

Just like the evangelical preachers or the self-help gurus. They are all in the business of making money. Not providing insights or anything of real value.
A lot of developers are self taught. I learned Java before there were courses for it. You have to be extremely self motivated for a boot camp to have an impact.

Thanks for writing this. I think that you're second paragraph helps to explain the life-altering, and permanent, behavioral changes I experienced after taking MDMA at a rave when I was 19.
I have always wondered how much of what I see on Hacker News is "sponsored content." Not that there is anything wrong with it.
I don't know very much about geopolitical whatevers, but can anyone explain-like-I'm-five why everyone assumes that taking out the North Korean government has to involve 25 million refugees (which is the entire population of the country) streaming into China and South Korea? They're not going to nuke all of NK into inhabitability, people will still live there. I'm sure some people will want to leave now that they're not under pain of death for doing so, but probably the vast majority will stay. Did Russian emigrants overwhelm Europe when the Iron Curtain fell, or Germans when the Berlin Wall did?

(Not trying to be snarky, genuinely curious, because every time this subject comes up, everyone starts throwing around the "China doesn't want 25M refugees overnight" argument, so I assume there's some background I'm missing.)
Rush to download anonymity apps in China?
Not sure what started it, my app(s) sales shot up more than >999% in China after 17th August 2017.

One app that is being downloaded most is "Buzzie - Anonymous Phone Tags", an app that lets you receive calls via urls instead of phone numbers https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/buzzie-anonymous-phone-tags/id1084077675?mt=8.

Think of it as a URLs as "burner phone numbers".

Is there a rush for anonymity apps in China now?

Evolution of Cell Phones 1973-2027
> ARCore will run on millions of devices, starting today with the Pixel and Samsung’s S8, running 7.0 Nougat and above. We’re targeting 100 million devices at the end of the preview.

That's...not great? For comparison, ARKit on iOS is going to support 400 million devices at launch (very rough numbers: ARKit runs on any new iPhone Apple's released over the past two years - iPhone 6S/SE/7 - and they sell over 200 million a year). Hardware fragmentation is a tough problem to solve.
That is funny, the language whose JIT research lead to Hotspot, is slower than Python.

I think we agree on the basic point: you can't decide what the most cost effective solution is until analysis is carried out. But an effective performance analysis can't be executed without an understanding of the machine.

Lacking low level knowledge can only create blind spots in the analysis.
My #1 Tip for Achieving Work/Life Balance
So after decades of research, and thousands of different markers they could have looked at, they found that pH is a significant marker?
Smaller companies will. Multinationals generally have in-house tax specialists to deal with all of that. Case and point: General Electric. Assuming by multinational you're talking about Fortune 500 and not companies operating in more than one country.
Is there a difference in the core technology underneath ARCore and ARKit? Just generally curious.
Very interesting. Just paging through the docs the library doesn't seem like a very hard to use at all. The devil might be in the details and it's hard to say how rushed it was after ARKit but they had the parts and bits required for it already done in some form or another.
Besides search-ability, one thing I love about email is that I know the sender isn't going to be notified when I read it. Contrast that with FB where I know the sender will see a little "read" notification, and then I have pressure to respond, etc.

Intel Can Now Mesh Different Process Nodes on the Same Chip
I am definitely not trying to argue that people can respond musically to events on the order of 80us! Although maybe some augmented future humans will prove that to be the case ;D

But think about it, having latency below (even way below) the threshold of human perception in a digital musical instrument increases the possibility space, in the same way that in digital recording you might use 192kHz sample rate even though we don't hear in that range.

It also means you can add extra components to your system that might add more latency without crossing the perception threshold.

So, to me there's plenty of advantages of having a system capable of this, many of which are still to be explored.
Uber has better ETA to pickup, better Pool matching and routes and better prices in aggregate (i.e. If you always choose one TNC for all rides instead of shopping both apps every trip, you'll spend less on Uber).

Uber also have better minor features that you're less likely to appreciate until you need them like lost item recovery and spoitify integration.
Because it makes things more difficult for those accepting the money. Their bills likely don't take bitcoin, after all. And once you get into private video chat and prostitution, tech workers and designers - where a portion to all of the money is going to the one hired - it gets pretty useless.

I'd not accept a job that only pays wages in bitcoin and in fact, it might violate minimum wage laws some places because you aren't paying in "real, government approved" money.
I understand where you're coming from. To be honest, I built that as a base for my applications and, for the reason you said, wondered whether is was worth sharing. I decided to share it just in case it's useful for people who have similar taste in tools and configurations. And apparently, it was helpful to some people, as the repo got 100+ stars in a couple of hours.

Considering the cost of war as seen in the middle east, wouldn't it be cheaper to make some kind of deal where the West, SK and Japan dump massive amounts of resources into improving NK's economy, in exchange for the regime opening up? Would they refuse a trillion-dollar offer?
I think it runs on every A9 (iPhone 6S) powered phone and tablet or newer. So more or less every iOS device sold since 2015/2016.

Yeah and fragmentation in Android versions is pretty bad. Also the quality of the underlying hardware might be not as consistent as in iOS devices. It relies on a lot of sensors to get it right, not just raw CPU power and a nice camera.
More importantly, ALL military needs to be ready for massive war. If another world war breaks out they need to quickly scale to 100x as many humans. That cannot be done unless everything is easy to teach. Follow a checklist exactly is easy to teach.
Our company isn't that big, and that's a fair point, but one of our circuit designers worked at Intel for over decade and reported the same experience.

Xyce is new and has some syntax differences, so it's not a mature software quite yet, so there are some troubles there. But as we've been starting to make it work, it's given us some amazing speedups on large clusters.

IANAL, but I agree. When you sign up for privacy protection, you're hiring the registrar to act as your agent. If they then act outside their granted authority as such, then they're doing so in breach of contract. I believe that's called 'conversion'.
Initially I am looking forward to add around 3-4 categories with atleast 50+ communities in each category.

I haven't looked closely into either, but in generaly, they're both going to be doing some form of SLAM (Simultaneous Location And Mapping), but the particulars of the algorithms will be proprietary to each vendor. That said, that should largely be an implementation detail. The positioning data provided through their respective APIs will likely be nearly identical.
The fact-specific factors seem to come into play when you've got either domicile or actual presence in California. From Bragg: https://www.boe.ca.gov/legal/pdf/Bragg_rs.pdf

> The term “resident” includes individuals in this state for other than a temporary or transitory purpose, and individuals domiciled in this state who are outside the state for a temporary or transitory purpose. (Rev. & Tax. Code, § 17014, subds. (a)(1) & (a)(2).) The primary consideration under either facet of the definition is whether or not the individual is present in California or absent from California for a temporary or transitory purpose.

By selling his house renting an apartment in Nevada, it's pretty clear he at least changed is domicile to Nevada, if not his residency. But if he didn't have substantial presence in California either, then it's pretty clear he doesn't fall under the definition of "resident" at all, even without getting into the fact-specific inquiry.

The lack of domicile or actual presence is important. As Bragg states:

> The purpose of the residency statute is to insure that all individuals who are in
California for other than a temporary or transitory purpose enjoying the benefits and protection
of the state should in return contribute to its support

States can tax people who avail themselves of the benefits of living in, or at least spending large amounts of time in the state. What California is doing to Hyatt is not that; it's trying to tax someone who used to live in the State.

In my view, applying a fact-specific residency test to someone who is neither domiciled or present in a state creates serious Constitutional concerns. Many of the factors, such as "the taxpayer's voting participation history" or "wherein the taxpayer holds a professional license" or "wherein the taxpayer owns investment real property" are not things that are easily changed in the short term. But it's probably a Constitutional requirement that people be able to change their residency quickly. States cannot impose barriers to the free flow of residents between states. Trying to "hang onto" someone who is trying to leave arguably creates such a barrier.

I've gone on many trips that I simply wouldn't have gone on pre-Uber.

OP was talking about a destination you would go to in an Uber, but not a taxi.
You're in Germany. When you say competitors, you're only talking about taxis with medallions because the TNC business model is still illegal. You actually don't know what you're missing because your government won't allow you to know.

How long until they update the ChromiumAR project with support for ARCore and when will that preview and then be available? I know that tons of people are waiting on that:

Smalltalk has a message called becomes, where you literally change the complete representation of an object to something else.

You can change code on the fly on the debugger and just do a redo of the failed call.

When you change a specific class, or its meta-class, the whole system is automatically updated, reflecting the changes.

I can give many more examples.
Invoking philosophical razors does not change the reality that the missile did not hit anything of importance.

> Did Russian emigrants overwhelm Europe when the Iron Curtain fell

Not Europe, no - because most of them didn't have the legal status to gain any european citizenship. But million jews rushed into Israel, with a total population of 8 million, which greatly affected the country.

Given that South Korea officially 'wants' unification, they won't have any other choice but to grant citizen status to everyone - and I don't doubt that a LOT of north koreans will jump on this opportunity right away.
If someone can make a react native binding for both ARCore and ARKit, that'd be super amazing and make the bar to entry for AR apps much lower.
I would be very surprised if Unity didn't have it up and running in one or two months. They already support ARKit, Windows Holographic, and Vuforia more or less natively. Also, given the ground-level work they've done to enable support for VR without directly dealing with vendor-specific plugins, adding just one more is probably not that big of a deal.

There is a lot wrong with not declaring sponsored content as such, so much so that it's illegal in many countries.
Not necessarily. That's OK if you can guarantee that the table is in cache. But if it isn't, that's probably the slowest way.

DRAM read takes ~210 cycles (assuming 60ns access time and 3.5 GHz CPU clock rate).

FPATAN takes ~50 to 200 cycles, depending on the operand value and CPU model (see http://www.agner.org/optimize/instruction_tables.pdf)

I suspect a polynomial approximation takes less than either of these, since that's what most C standard library implementations use on the PC (I just check Visual Studio 2017).
I've been there. It's not that hard to find communities/forums/etc that are relevant. Just dropping in with a post about your new app rarely goes over well. It's a much more nuanced problem than finding people, you have to engage them, ask questions and pay attention to the answers.

XMPP Core is a protocol at (roughly) the same level as HTTP: it provides basic semantics for sending and getting data, and you can build your own application level protocols on top of it. XMPP IM is an application level protocol built on top of it that does something specific (instant messaging). It could have been built on HTTP as well, but they were designed to work well together.

If we're comparing XMPP core to HTTP, the difference is that XMPP core is async and stateful (like instant messaging sessions) and HTTP is synchronous and stateless (great for fetching documents).

US Starbucks Cards can be used in certain other countries[1], and international money transfer would be a plausible excuse for requiring such information. However, that doesn't seem to be the case for Argentine Starbucks cards[2].

[1] "Most Starbucks, Evolution Fresh and Teavana stores in North America including Puerto Rico accept your Starbucks Card. Certain Starbucks-branded locations may not permit you to use the Starbucks Card for payment, including some airport, grocery and bookstore locations, or stores in Guam and others located outside continental North America." https://www.starbucks.com/about-us/company-information/onlin...

[2] "La Starbucks Card activada en Argentina no podrá ser utilizada en tiendas Starbucks ubicadas fuera de Argentina. La Starbucks Card activada fuera de Argentina no será válida en Argentina.", which Google translates as "The Starbucks Card activated in Argentina can not be used in Starbucks stores located outside Argentina. The Starbucks Card activated outside Argentina will not be valid in Argentina." https://starbucksrewards.com.ar/tos/card

I was just pointing out that a downed plane doesn't automatically trigger WW3.

See for example the lawful (but provocative) downing of a russian plane by Turkey. The retaliation from Russia was basically just words and some economic sanctions.

I'm not sure if the leader of US or Russia can order a first strike without inbound missiles from the other side. Would the military execute a first strike knowing what the response of the other side would be?
I recently interviewed for a machine learning position at Google. There was essentially no focus on machine learning. I had 6 interview sessions total (5 onsite and 1 live coding phone screen) and 5 of those interviews had nothing to do with machine learning. In fact, those 5 interviewers had no machine learning background and knew nothing about machine learning. The one interview that was focused on machine learning was fairly straightforward and simple. It was kind of funny how large a contrast there was between the Google recruiter'a pitch ("we want to become an AI first company") and my actual experience interviewing. The interview process I went through has no way of distinguishing between someone with in depth machine learning knowledge and someone with basic machine learning knowledge. It was essentially a software engineer interview. I did not get the position, but I would recommend you look elsewhere if your focus is truly machine learning
Always love seeing applications of Feistel cipher. Used it with AES as the PRF for implementing FPE in legacy systems.

Just want to note that this approach (regardless of PRF) probably wouldn't have worked in 1991. Recomputing the cipher state at every pixel is probably ~10x slower than the single shift + xor in the iterative LFSR approach.

That was the terrible calculus of submarine patents [0]. Submit a broad patent application today for something conceptually simple that's not currently possible (so nobody has bothered to patent it). File continuations and extensions for years until it is possible and people start doing it. Get patent with early priority date. Profit.

Fortunately, the rules were changed in the 1990s to limit extensions. Still, you get 20 years from the initial filing. So if you think something will happen within 20 years but hasn't been explored yet, you too can submit a patent. Enforcing such patents is dirty work, so you basically have to dedicate the rest of your career to rent-seeking.
