It's more of a simple database than a file system.

To my surprise, https://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1510/en_US/New... is still up at apple.com. It says:

"Object Storage System

This system is key to the Newton information architecture. The object storage system provides persistent storage for data.

Newton uses a unified data model. This means that all data stored by all applications uses a common format. Data can easily be shared among different applications, with no translation necessary. This allows seamless integration of applications with each other and with system services.
Data is stored using a database-like model. Objects are stored as frames, which are like database records. A frame contains named slots, which hold individual pieces of data, like database fields. For example, an address card in the Names application is stored as a frame that contains a slot for each item on the card: name, address, city, state, zip code, phone number, and so on.

Frames are flexible and can represent a wide variety of structures. Slots in a single frame can contain any kind of NewtonScript object, including other frames, and slots can be added or removed from frames dynamically. For a description of NewtonScript objects, refer to The NewtonScript Programming Language.

Groups of related frames are stored in soups, which are like databases. For example, all the address cards used by the Names application are stored in the Names soup, and all the notes on the Notepad are stored in the Notes soup. All the frames stored in a soup need not contain identical slots. For example, some frames representing address cards may contain a phone number slot and others may not.

Soups are automatically indexed, and applications can create additional indexes on slots that will be used as keys to find data items. You retrieve items from a soup by performing a query on the soup. Queries can be based on an index value or can search for a string, and can include additional constraints. A query results in a cursor—an object representing a position in the set of soup entries that satisfy the query. The cursor can be moved back and forth, and can return the current entry.

Soups are stored in physical repositories, called stores. Stores are akin to disk volumes on personal computers. The Newton always has at least one store—the internal store. Additional stores reside on PCMCIA cards.

The object storage system interface seamlessly merges soups that have the same name on internal and external stores in a union soup. This is a virtual soup that provides an interface similar to a real soup. For example, some of the address cards on a Newton may be stored in the internal Names soup and some may be stored in another Names soup on a PCMCIA card. When the card is installed, those names in the card soup are automatically merged with the existing internal names so the user, or an application, need not do any extra work to access those additional names. When the card is removed, the names simply disappear from the card file union soup."
It's more like when the book store asks you for your phone number, home address, and driver's license before they will accept your credit card, and so you simply pay them with cash.

Perl is great, but not that much (if any) faster to run than the equivalent Python, these days.

If you use perl regularly, then the $_ syntax stuff is super fast to type and do all kinds of cool stuff, but I find as a irregular scripter that I forget after 6 months or so. Python's monotonous syntax means stuff is generally still understandable even by non programmers.

The title is misleading: The story is not that the law was passed (which happened in 2015) but that it's not working.

The actual title is too long for HN: "California passed a law boosting police transparency on cellphone surveillance. Here's why it's not working"

How about: "California's transparency law on police cellphone surveillance is not working" (I hope that's not too long; I didn't count.)
How to Invest in an ICO
Oh, this is painful to read...

As a physics dropout (hey, '90s tech boom) who works with theatrical costumers on a regular basis as the "engineering" guy (who sews, rhinestones, and hot-glues with the rest of them) there's absolutely a cross-over of material science, geometry, structure, and other engineering practices with fashion/costuming. However, this is almost never formalized around a grounding in physics. Instead, it is ingrained and intuitive in the practitioner. Ask most fashion designers about manifolds, gradients, and curvatures, and you'll get blank stares.

Furthermore, if you're going to write up something to pitch fashion to the sciency/nerdy, how about not asserting that euclidean geometry is purely planar... Gaussian curvature and it's applications to fabric? Sure. Perspective transforms per pattern projection and apparent parallelism/colinearity? Okay. (Neither of these in the article...)

Euclidean geometry is gone when you bend fabric? Oh man. That's where I face-palmed.

If you're going to pitch to nerds, be rock solid on the nerdy stuff, because the larger point, that fabric and fashion are engineering and design practices as much as laptops, cars, and bridges, is arguably true.

I had high hopes for this one, but it comes off as a poorly-crafted attempt to pitch a personal interest as scientifically dismissed because it's feminine (rather than artistically practiced), from a woman who, sadly, doesn't seem well-versed in the technical aspects of the discipline, unselling her point.

Notes:

1) Men design fashion, and have for a long time.

2) It's okay to like something aesthetic and over-the-top without trying to jam it through a science-nerd hole.

A five-year-long project involving some of the finest watchmakers in the world surely cost far more than $1m, and that watch will sell for much more than that at auction some day.

If it was priced to reflect its complexity it would be probably more on the order of $10m or more. Much simpler movements frequently cost $1-2 million to develop, often higher.

Yes, it might put those sites out of business - the websites which rely solely on web traffic use fake titles, sensationalist headlines, click baits, troll baits, fake news i.e. most of what is wrong with the internet. It harms them in the short term... and the most evil company in the history of the world in the long term. I see it as win-win.
> Once a can has been put into a landfill mixed with other stuff and with time also oxidized, that advantage is mostly gone.

What is the typical oxidization rate? (Average by mass, I guess.) I thought oxidation was mostly negligible because, unlike rust, aluminum oxide forms a protective layer. I would think this is fairly effective in a dump.

Nimble robots and better image recognition will eventually drive the cost of landfill retrieval way down.

Never heard of adnauseam before, the developers deserve a Nobel Peace Prize. The argument saying that it damages the publishers and not the ad networks is pure nonsense. By damaging the publisher's ability to make money of ads you also damage the ad network - how is this not clear?

ALL and I mean all advertisers can die a slow agonising death as far as I care. They are adding nothing of value to the civilisation. And if your reply is "well, how about I start charging you for my website?" then I'm absolutely fine with it. Please do.
It is an advantage in specific situations when you can't rebuild every container or you want to try to selectively update containers without rebuilding them. You should try to update the running containers as a rule but having options is helpful from time to time. In a properly managed container infrastructure it should be faster to update the container image reference before resorting to tactics like this.
This was fucking amazing! Thanks!

They block it by default but you can still disable the block manually. Its hardly an unreasonable form of protest.
It seems to me that this Houston flooding was a bit unexpected.

While I agree that it's critically important to not get on the slippery slope of laws that restrict internet freedom, I think a decentralized internet infrastructure would make censorship significantly more difficult for governments to impose.

Without centralised gatekeepers, the only viable way to censor the internet is to enforce laws on end-users, which is a daunting task for any government.

And technologically, at least two of the necessary elements for a global meshnet are here: protocols for decentralized addressing and routing, like cjdns >1, and protocols for peer-to-peer electronic value transfer between nodes, like Raiden >2. The only major missing piece of the technological puzzle, AFAICS, is a technology for cheaply deploying telecommunication backbone links.

Then maybe ad networks aren't the solution. Maybe it's Flatr or a browser like Brave that automatically pays websites you visit a few cents worth of Bitcoin. The current solution of creepy privacy-violating ad networks must go, and alternatives won't develop organically until there is pressure on publishers to find alternatives.

Solid advice. As a recently licensed ham, I could tell you without a doubt that if I pulled my radio out of the box and tried to figure out what the hell to do with it in the midst of an emergency, the only thing I would accomplish is wasting LOTS of valuable time.

It took me weeks to get my radio set up exactly how I like it, but now I can tune into emergency services, GMRS/FRS, Marine VHF, and hundreds of ham repeaters throughout the NYC metro area.

My two key takeaways so far are A: you will not be able to look up what frequencies are used by which services if you don't plan ahead of time. RadioReference and RepeaterBook are useless if you can't get online. Your radio will be useless if you don't take the time to program it for your needs ahead of time. B: If you expect to lean on your radio for communication, there is simply no way to assess it's capabilities unless you put it to use, and for this you really ought to get a license. The technician class license only requires a passing score on a 35 question test. It should be well within reach for many of the technically minded folks who read this forum.

As far as general emergency preparedness goes for myself, what I like to do is take on hobbies with an emergency/survival aspect to them. I go hiking and camping and have the bare necessities to survive in the wilderness for a while. I do ham radio so I can figure out what the hell is going on if the cell network or internet becomes inaccessible, and I play Airsoft with my buddies every once in a while, which affords me some gear and a skill I'll hopefully never need to use off the field. I do all these things because they are interesting to me. The survival/preparedness aspect is just an additional benefit / excuse.

I'll be following this guide: https://www.ntpsec.org/white-papers/stratum-1-microserver-ho... Depending on how that goes, I may be able to fire up quite a lot of them scattered across the UK. Some internet links I look after are only for failover and are largely idle most of the time.
Again, no. How do you think nearly all small legit websites that aren't being bankrolled by a single passionate person stay up? Ad revenue.

As an example, PortableApps.com isn't exactly small, but without ad revenue I'd shut it down. It doesn't make enough in donations and a handful of drive sales to survive.
Thanks for the links! I found it entertaining how close the syntax modern JavaScript is getting to OCaml:

I would expect that to work to a point, but coherence and interlocking are eventually going to rear their ugly heads.

I've created and lived with multiple inter-process high-performance multimedia/data systems (e.g. video special effects and editing, real-time audio processing, bioinformatics), and I've yet to encounter a message passing semantic that could match the performance of manually managed systems for the broad range of non-pathological use-cases, not to speak of the broader range of theoretically possible use-cases.

If something's out there, I'd love to see it. So far as I know, nobody has cracked that nut yet.

I hear a lot of people in here saying, "Yay for AdNauseum, they are fixing the broken ad system! If sites start charging instead of ads, I'll totally pay!"

Let me add a little perspective. A long time ago at reddit we launched reddit gold. At the time, one of the biggest benefits was that if you had gold you could turn off ads. This was in direct response to people saying, "I would rather pay you then use adblock".

You know how many people running adblock started paying? Not a lot. Sure, some did, but there were still a whole bunch of people who just wanted a free experience. The ads on reddit weren't even all that heavy CPU and bandwidth-wise.

My point is, I don't think a lot of you are being totally honest when you say you'd be willing to pay if the site removed advertising.

In a lot of cases, those sites get a lot more money from the advertisers than you would ever be willing to pay, because they simply don't provide that much value to you.

This line seems straight from a dystopian sci-fi novel. A world where humans preferred caring for other animal species instead of reproducing.

Seriously though, I think middle-class white families are already too hesitant about raising children, even without thinking about the environment. They think it's too expensive, and would rather have other luxuries.

The irony is that immigrants and people in developing countries, which already have low resources, don't care that much about status or 'living standards', and are happily generating a lot of offspring.

My theory is that this is natural selection regulating for too much brain size / intelligence: If you believe in the several studies that mention IQ and brain size differences for races, right now the races with lowest brain size / IQ are having the most babies. I think mother nature is preferring - sorry for the language - 'dumb and strong' over 'smart and feeble'. Actually, many people have a reproduction strategy that involves lowering cognitive ability - getting drunk [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2778038/ and others]

Doing a 1:1 comparison between what you're currently receiving on import and RADB isn't completely fair given most folks who preallocate address blocks will register route objects long before they are actually used.

What is preventing you from crafting your import policies based on this data? Google is clearly creating route objects for most of their prefixes and rejecting a handful of prefixes vs. the risk of accepting at worst a full table seems like a reasonable tradeoff. This is something Verizon could have done, and something other folks like Level3 have done for some time.
Taxing "robots" is silly, mostly because it's impossible to define what a "robot" is in a remotely non-distortionary way or that doesn't require a horde of accountants to argue out.

Taxing "capital", by its monetary value, is much easier, and has a similar effect of promoting labor substitution. It's also universally despised by economists for the obvious reason that accumulating capital increases the return to labor under most models and makes everyone wealthier.

Of course California state politics are notoriously dumb, so who knows what'll happen.
