Quantum Battleships? A quantum game? I had not heard about this in spite of multiple trips a little way down the quantum computing rabbit hole. I'm curious, has anyone here played this game? Is it actually played for fun? Does the quantum nature of the game's mechanics actually change the fun-ness of the game? Or any other known game?

Erm, I think there is a major difference between those two examples.

If a digital company and me don't come along I quit contract and it is not really anybody else business nor harm, only mine if I feel treated unfair. And the companies reputation, as I will share my bad experience.

But if a company is poisoning the real world, than this is clearly a crime. And I did not say, no more police is needed.
It's not the same. Styles declared in a Svelte <style> block only pertain to that component, unless you opt-in to the cascade with a little bit of extra syntax borrowed from CSS modules: `:global(.foo) {...}`.

You can also compile Svelte components to custom elements, which use shadow DOM to enforce complete style isolation (though this is a new and experimental option).

If you assume markets price the bonds efficiently, then the price of the bond should contain what the market expects inflation will be over the duration of the bond at the time of the sale.
Wages haven't gone up, so while you may have shifted allocation of purchases within the CPI basket, your total spending is probably around the same as it was last year, and the year before that.

EG you buy more electronics and gas (cheaper), and less clothing and food (more expensive), but your overall spending remains ~50% of your income, which hasn't changed.

Wages are usually the primary driver of higher CPI measured inflation.

Inflation has occurred outside of CPI basket, most notably in equity markets and real estate prices in large urban cities - and bitcoin :)

FWIW, the article mentions the book "Designing Data-Intensive Applications" by Martin Kleppmann. I wanted to throw out my own endorsement for the book, it's been instrumental in helping me design my own fairly intensive data pipeline.
I think there are a lot of different reasons someone might feel that way, but for me learning about proper studying techniques helped a lot. I'm fine with people having high expectations of me, I think it's when I feel that I can't live up to them that there's pressure that others will "shrug" off as if it's easy. With real tangible study techniques and not just vague general cleverness I feel like I can meet those challenges head on, like I have an actual plan to stand on. The Learning How To Learn course is a good start on this, but I've found a lot of different things on youtube. https://www.coursera.org/learn/learning-how-to-learn

Another thing was I felt like people were shrugging off my hard work because I made it look easy and there's 3 things for that -- A.) realize people are focused on their own life, they aren't going to understand everything going on in yours and B.) Stop being silent about your hard work. Even if it's just to some of your close friends, having some people realize you work hard too is nice. C.) Talk to people (like here on HN) with the same problem as you. I'm in some entrepreneur groups on Facebook and it is SO nice to have like minded people with similar problems to talk to or read about.

I'm not too keen on having a screen I don't control ( and never use anyway) in front of me for an entire flight. I hate being shown ads, and the only place I still regularly encounter them are airplane IFE systems I can't turn off during certain phases of the flight, and poorly chosen gas stations. Interestingly neither of those used to be significant sources of advertising.

Oh my. We are arguing over semantics. In the US, a fixed rate mortgage typically has a term equal to its amortization schedule. I.E. your interest is fixed for 30 years. In Canada, there are things called "fixed rate mortgages" where the interest is fixed for the term of the mortgage, but I have never seen a term longer than 5 years (most are shorter). The mortgage is typically amortized over a period of no longer than 25 years. So, in Canada, you have to get a new mortgage every few years and you are at the mercy of interest rate changes.

Ask HN: Any tools to force TLS handshake to use “more secure” network?
Hey I'm not a security engineer but it occurred to me that when using an unsecured public WIFI network the real concern is in doing the initial TLS handshake over that network. My question is - If I switch my laptop to use a tethered network via my cellphone prior to hitting an HTTPS website and then switch it back to using the public WIFI after the connection has been established would I be improving my security while gaining the benefit of higher speed and cheaper wifi access (as opposed to doing the whole thing via the tethered connection)? If so are there any tools to handle this automatically?

Seems like quite a straw man argument, there probably isn't a single person that actually fits your description. And it certainly does not describe a typical developer.

As infamously documented in "The Windows Shutdown Crapfest" [1], in order for anything to be publicly observed outside of most large bureaucracies, a large number of people are involved, and their only common interest comes from very high up in the bureaucracy. So you usually do end up with a single, simple ideology presented to the public, even though there are a lot of people internally fighting for different things.

“Money’s going to stop being cheap”

Okay, but at the same time yields on US government debt just reached their lowest point since last November. Due to various factors (North Korea, natural disasters, etc) the Federal Reserve is now talking about raising interest rates slower than they had originally planned, which was already pretty slow. The era of cheap money has to end eventually obviously, but it doesn’t seem like things are going to change all that fast.
Or correctly price it.

Congestion isn't a capacity problem, it's a pricing problem. EDIT: Given the amount of infrastructure we already have that is.

See my link about brainwallets above.
That's a refreshingly nuanced comment in a debate where people tend to be very quick to pick a side and stick with it no matter what. You also make a very good point regarding languages for teams vs hackers - this is overlooked very often.

I'd just to like to point out that grouping together dynamically typed languages and comparing them to statically typed ones as a whole is really not useful at all due to the huge variations within each group in terms of correctness and expressiveness.

When people compare dynamic vs static languages they generally compare the languages they're familiar with and often assume that they are representative of the group to a sufficiently high degree. They're not. Using Clojure for example is a very different experience from using Python and not just cosmetically. Clojure with spec is a very different experience from plain Clojure. Haskell is very different from C#.

I'd encourage anyone with an interest in using the best tool for the job and increasing their effectiveness as developers to at least dabble in what I would consider to be the state of the art in practically usable, more or less mainstream languages in both camps - Haskell and Clojure (with an extensive use of spec).

You are likely to realise that statically typed languages can be way more expressive and less bend-over-backwards-for-no-good-reason-to-make-the-compiler-happy than C# or Java and dynamic languages can be significantly more capable of ensuring correctness and 'moving bugs to the left' than Python and JavaScript.
I use CurrencyFair and am very happy with them. Transferwise are a bit cheaper but they since have VC money and are likely to be cheap only temporarily I haven't tried them out.
And here I was thinking along the lines of "I have 12 years of experience coding random crap, professionally and otherwise, and I'd like to go into biotech or somehow contribute to NewSpace industry".

(Which is exactly what I'd love to do.)

> completely fearful and reactive, has no basis in recorded fact, and does an appalling disservice to the many people who have spent many years (successfully) trying to change Microsoft's internal culture and make it more friendly to open source.

If you're not already familiar with the "Halloween Documents" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween_documents) then you should take a look. They were pretty much the definition of "fearful and reactive".

Microsoft has historically had an ideological investment in killing everything that wasn't Windows.

Microsoft has been roused in this fashion 3 times before that I can think of.

1. The internet. If you don't remember, MSFT completely misjudged the importance of the internet. A heroic effort by Bill Gates turned the company around and got them on track to seize control of the web (until Google drove them back).

2. Java. It was so successful that MSFT had to create a nearly identical tech stack that they controlled, after Sun beat them in court.

3. Linux. Open source, well supported, loved by tech people, runs on almost every conceivable hardware platform. It's been a herculean effort just to fight for market share. If it weren't for lock-in, MSFT would have gone the way of Solaris and HP-UX.

Now open source is the only way to try to get back that developer mind share that they've been losing for so long. This is a good thing in the long run, but to couch it as anything but "fearful and reactive" is to discount a lot of history.

So Oracle fired off almost all the rest of the Solaris engineers, they are moving Java out of house, what's left from the original Sun purchase? SPARC? I see they still sell SPARC servers, but without confirmation from someone that they've somehow kept competitive with Intel (which they were having problems doing over a decade ago), I'm wondering if this is just a cash grab from people that don't know what they're getting, or are somehow forced to run software precompiled for SPARC (although gouging customers like that would fit my preconception of Oracle, accurate or not)..
I like how you went right ahead and contradicted your advice - kids don't need school either, lots of kids thrive on "education otherwise" (a UK expression covering unschool, homeschool, home ed, etc.).
Technically, yes, you are on the hook for a balloon payment. In practice, however, you would get a new mortgage for the remainder owing. You can, of course, be screwed in the event of rising interest rates or collapsing property values.

Unlike the US, there are hefty fees for early payoff of the mortgage, so if you were in the position to pay it off, you would probably want to wait until the end of the current mortgage (depending on lots of different factors, of course).

If you want a simple explanation of bloom filters:

To add to filter:

1) Get multiple hashes of the data. You can use the same hash function and increment the data each hash, or use multiple hash functions. You can do any amount of hashes from 1 to infinity, each filter size and dataset size has a sweet spot.

2) Mod (remainder) each hash by the filter size. The filter size can be any size, 1 to the maximum hash from your function[s]. The larger the filter, the more accurate the results, but a filter larger than your dataset is obviously useless.

3) Set each bit at the locations (from step 2) in the filter to 1.

To check filter:

1) Do steps 1 & 2 from previous procedure.

2) Check each location in the filter. If all locations are 1, the data might be in the filter. If any of the locations are 0, the data is definitely not in the filter.
As a child I was obsessively aware of other people's opinions of me, so I was afraid to make mistakes. Today, I am much better at putting myself in the learning mindset because I have learned a basic truth: learning is essentially the same as temporarily making a fool of myself, but in a safe place. That's how we all learned to walk, talk, and read, after all. If we can learn such complex skills as those then we can surely pick up a lot more skills, with effort.

I wish I had understood that as a child. I tried to learn to dance and act, but I mostly failed because I didn't really put myself out there. I did learn to sing thanks to choirs. I got into computers partly because all my mistakes were completely private.

There's no reason I can't continue to learn new skills. I just need to shed my ego and try things without reservation.
The other side of the coin is if you have ideas without execution you could tell yourself they are great and have potential.

However, if you "do" all of your ideas, you may have to face the cold reality that none of them worked out or were that great/enjoyed after all.

So there's pros and cons.
I'm confident in many benefits of autonomous vehicles, but reducing congestion is not one of them. Quite the opposite, actually.

Wanna know what happens when you no longer have people looking for parking but rather have them picking up and dropping off at the curb? Visit a busy airport or pickup/dropoff curbs at a large suburban elementary school.

Now throw in the fact that in order to get to your destination, you'll have to drive through those clusterfucks that are caused by other people's destinations. Oh, and all the cars that might not be circling looking for parking, but are now circling looking for new passengers. Oh, and all the new cars on the road when lower costs move people from transit into SOVs. That's the future, embrace it.

the real concern is in doing the initial TLS handshake over an unsecured public WIFI network

No, this isn't a concern due to PKI. (If you disagree with PKI you should stop using the Internet completely.)

If I switch my laptop to use a tethered network via my cellphone prior to hitting an HTTPS website and then switch it back to using the public WIFI after the connection has been established

This isn't possible because you have different IP addresses on those two networks and once a TCP connection has been established on one IP address it can't be moved to a different one.
I skimmed the text, it does specify requirements of it's own on self-driving cars (both for safety and privacy), establishes a council of industry experts on it, etc. as well.

But barring states from regulating this in their own borders is about as much of a sweetheart bill for business as you can get, it ensures they only have to spend their lobbying money on one legislative body.

A “true” serial monitor for Linux
Exactly, I don't understand why people think self driving cars will do anything to reduce congestion -- if anything they are going to make it worse since they make point-to-point car trips easier and cheaper, and instead of driving to work and parking all day, the cars will drive someone to work, then drive somewhere else to get another rider (or park to await the evening commute).

They may bring some efficiency to traffic patterns leading to better road utilization, but that only goes so far to make up for the much higher level of traffic that will result when it's much cheaper and easier to call a car when you want one.

San Francisco is already feeling the "Uber effect" of greater traffic from car-share services:

It'd be interesting to see what the reaction is from people and companies in the field.

Preemption legislation seems a little premature, to me. Sure, it would stop states from hindering autonomous-vehicle development, e.g. to protect entrenched interests or because of irrational fears, but it could also stop states interested in being on the forefront of research from doing more interesting things.

It seems like the sort of thing you'd want when products were further along the development path and having a broad, harmonized-rules marketplace is necessary to move further, but not when most of the tech is still pretty early R&D work.

>...It's still illegal to shout 'fire' in a crowded building

I don't think so:

>..."shouting fire in a crowded theater" refers to an outdated legal standard. At one point, the law criminalized such speech, which created a "clear and present danger." But since 1969, for speech to break the law, it can’t merely lead others to dangerous situations. It must directly encourage others to commit specific criminal actions of their own.

Yeah, but that's sort of the rub, isn't it? It's faulty wiring that won't, in practice, overheat unless you overload the server with (say) a port scan.

So yes, the aircraft is supposed to be robust against any trickery with the entertainment system. And indeed, it's 100% their fault for installing the wiring in a way that would overhead under load.

It's still pretty irresponsible to risk taking down the aircraft like that to check for a vulnerability!

In past times, business expansion lowered the unemployment rate, which raised wages, which raised prices.

The first part happened. The last two don't seem to be happening, which is puzzling. Central banks are having to consider that the old model may not hold anymore. No one's really sure what to do.
