I'm not sure how you think the American system works if you think that "debt-free" has any meaning other than "no balances or debts outstanding".

VMware Soars as New Cloud Powerhouse on Deals with Amazon, Microsoft, and Google
I think a root of this problem is traditional framing of business accounting, which focuses on revenues and costs. That has some utility, but when it's the only perspective, you miss things.

Imagine a hamburger shop. In the traditional frame when you want to make more money, you raise revenues (sell more! raise prices!) or cut costs (cheaper ingredients! minimize labor costs!). Using the traditional approach, it's easier to "optimize" by make your product worse and worse.

The Lean Manufacturing folks, on the other hand, look at business as an exercise in value creation for the customer. They split things into value generation vs waste. When they optimize, they look for ways to reduce waste and increase value for the customer.

That focus on value creation is necessary to start businesses; it's hard to build an audience if you're not providing value. It's a shame that it gets lost over time, with profit being the only focus.

That article is incredibly selective. For instance, the conclusion of the GAO investigation recommended that that level of spending was far too LITTLE. From their 2017 high risk report[1]:

"For example, the Department of Defense's (DOD) 2010 and 2014 Quadrennial Defense Reviews state that climate change poses risks to defense infrastructure, particularly on the coasts. DOD's infrastructure consists of more than 555,000 defense facilities and 28 million acres of land, with a replacement value of close to $850 billion."

Climate change is not some experiment for the virtue of learned knowledge. It's a management effort. The immediate costs far outweigh our spending, much less the future costs.

On 3), the giant fiber is fast but not faster than other descending fibers. If anything, it is more reliable in its ability to signal.

See: https://www.nature.com/neuro/journal/v17/n7/full/nn.3741.htm...

Short abstract snippet (the "parallel circuits" are other, non-giant descending neurons that also trigger the escape behavior upon a looming stimulus):

"Intracellular recording of the descending giant fiber (GF) interneuron during head-fixed escape revealed that GF spike timing relative to parallel circuits for escape actions determined which of the two behavioral responses was elicited. The process was well described by a simple model in which the GF circuit has a higher activation threshold than the parallel circuits, but can override ongoing behavior to force a short takeoff. Our findings suggest a neural mechanism for action selection in which relative activation timing of parallel circuits creates the appropriate motor output."
I always find a better success rate using a gauze like material with sufficient holes to let air flow through it rather than around it, which considering the weight of the fly, could help it effectively surf the air flow the swatting device generates as it goes to make contact with the area the fly was on.

I hear the "Safari is the new IE" catchphrase a lot these days. But serious answers only please, does anyone know WHY Apple has let its browser go stagnant?

Would you care to give a some sort of breakdown on how publishing one article costs even $500, let alone $5000? I have tried to ask this from publishers I've published with, but never get any real answers. Also, the obscene profit margins reek of rent-seeking.

Authors, reviewers and mostly editors don't get paid. The "services" that the publishers provide are mostly some outsourced minimum-paid clerk complaining how some technical detail doesn't match some arbitrary rules arising from an arcane system.

Before such breakdown is given, I keep on thinking you are leeching the work of scientists and taxpayers and making the world a worse place.

You ignored the best argument: what does PLOS (a non-profit) do with those $2000 they charge the author?

Nobody is disputing that Elsevier et al make a profit that isn't entirely deserved. You don't have to argue that point.

But that glosses over the fact that their revenue is absolutely not pure profit. PLOS shows that there are costs associated with publishing, even if you get a lot of the work for free. Those $2000 are the value that publishers provide. Maybe they're charging $5000 for those $2000 right now, and that's morally suspect. But when that business model is destroyed, someone has to come up with a way to finance those $2000 of value by other means.

Also:

> Publication bias is a thing. A hugely significant thing.

"Publication bias" isn't the arbitrary injection of a publisher's opinions into articles or something like that. It just describes the fact that more surprising, or positive results are more likely to get published.

Doing away with publishers won't have any effect on this mechanism. Any sort of ranking or discovery mechanism will ultimately prefer the more spectacular result, because that's what people are looking for. In the specific case of pharmacology, mandatory pre-registration of trials, and all-encompassing meta-analysis of those is a good strategy, and it's completely orthogonal to the process of publishing the paper.
AFAIK if you keep your eyes closed, it doesn't unlock.

No. This is a very different audience wanting to do things with colour, e.g. maths. The graphic design site does not have the right moderators and audience for it.

I do interesting things with colour from time to time and find myself in the realms of no documentation and no sensible answers from Stack Overflow. I don't care what code an algorithm is in, or if it was written by Ancient Greeks, what I want is a community that knows stuff about colour spaces, identifying colours in complex images, making palettes from data and so on. The 'graphic design' community isn't about that, for starters there is an expectation to be using applications rather than code for working with images.

The claim was "Copyright is not about morality". The fact is that there is an extensive scope of copyright law, dating to the 18th century, which is specifically couched in language of morality.

Reegardless of how you feel about that scope of law (and I'm not declaring views one way or the other), the point remains that your initial assertion does not square with the stated foundations of law, in at least part. Regardless of how separable or inseparable those moral rights are from any other.

If the HN hivemind wants to declare its support for the counterfactual, so be it.

> Machine learning excels at classification, and trash sorting is at heart a classification problem.

Classifying by physical properties is even easier by simply classifying by physical properties. Want to pull all ferrous metals out of a pile of stuff? Just use a magnet. Want to sort tin from plastic? Blower and conveyor bins by flight distance.

Incidentally, those elements not easily covered by this kind of sorting (which has been used for many years) is also not easy to cover by magical do-all machine learning, which will have a hard time sorting plastic-coated paper from paper from plastics, just like the processes above.
> While we do back up iMessage and SMS messages for your convenience using iCloud Backup, you can turn it off whenever you want.

Wouldn't they be able to hold that privacy promise much better if they actually allowed people to keep iCloud backup on let's say for pictures, but still be able to disable iMessage messages? I think many people would like to use iCloud but without it backing up personal conversations, too.

Also, iMessage's end-to-end encryption was rather flawed last Matthew Green checked, compared to other end-to-end messaging apps.

https://blog.cryptographyengineering.com/2016/03/21/attack-o...

As for their use of differential privacy, when they introduced that it was essentially a hidden way of gather more of your data than before, not less, but while still being able to say "hey, we may gather more data than ever on you starting with the new iOS, but it's pretty private, so it's cool, don't worry about it".

All of that said, I know Apple is still miles ahead of Google on privacy. If anything, over the last 1-2 years, Google has become increasingly bolder and more shameless about tracking users without them realizing (except in the EU, where they are forced to make it a little easier for users to understand how they are being tracked, and even that happened because of the anti-trust lawsuit).

Here's just one example of Google's increasingly privacy-hostile behavior:

What do you do with cling film?
I bet you can't answer the actual most likely question: What are you (Google) planning on doing with .dev domains anyway?

However besides that...just curious: Will Chrome honor a header to disable HSTS for preloaded domains? (e.g. Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=0)? And what is going to happen if I submit my .dev site for removal from https://hstspreload.org/ ?

Also, reading the rules on hstspreload.org, I see the following statement: "Don't request inclusion unless you're sure that you can support HTTPS for your entire site and all its subdomains the long term"

Since you cannot actually guarantee that every .dev site will support HTTPS considering the fact that many developers use it on their LAN...don't you think you're breaking the rules here and possibly causing more problems than solutions?
You can disable Face ID by pressing the power and volume buttons at the same time. They are on either side of the phone. Faster than the multiple press method and more discrete.
And he's wrong. It is far easier to get everyone to classify their trash. Separating trash that has been put in a single trash bin is far more complicated later on. “It allows people to think less” isn't an excuse for making shit worse in every other possible imaginable respect.
When I last tried it about 6 months ago it seemed to be a complete mess. I failed to get any recent ruby gems installed.

In this case Apple hasn't implemented a user-hostile feature championed by a rival.

And I guess it's Spotify that made the call to pull the rug out from under their Safari users.

It seems hard to blame Apple here. Should the web standard really just be "whatever Google says?"

That is simpler for web developers, but I think would be terrible for the web as a platform and bad for users.

At some point you have to decide who the web is for, the users or the advertisers and content distributors? Apple is going one way and Google is going another, and I, for one, am happy there isn't universal acceptance of Google's direction, despite the inconvenience to web developers.
tldr.
Apple:securly sharing your most intimate secrets with the worlds 7.5billion people.

Suppose its better than M$ or Google insecurely sharing them.

But not as good as just not handing them out in the first place.
As a web developer I am sorry to tell you that Chrome is the new Internet Explorer But this time developers are to be blamed for the situation, focusing on Chrome more and more.
As a web developer, some won't even get to the question 'in what sense does Safari differ?' because you can't even use it outside of macOS.

Firefox, Chrome and Edge/IE can all be installed in one way or another on any of the 3 major platforms (if you include 3rd party tools). For free even.
Yes, this was done on purpose :)
> Want to sort tin from plastic? Blower and conveyor bins by flight distance.

ML is useful when you cannot make a clear difference using physical properties only. For example, if you treat different types of plastic garbage, you will probably want to separate bottles from other types of plastics, and you can do that with visual sorting and pattern matching.

> which will have a hard time sorting plastic-coated paper from paper from plastics, just like the processes above.

Certainly, but then this is when you still need some manual work at some point of the chain. But physical filtering + ML could reduce the human part of the work to exceptions.

This is true in my experience as well - most papers to these vanity journals are rejected without review by the editor ("desk reject"), and a prior relationship between a PI and the editor basically guarantees you will sail past that stage.
I don't understand how people are discounting Safari as unused when probably about half of all web traffic comes from iphone/iPad these days, which only allows the WebKit rendering engine.
Dumb as it may sound, have a list of todos that each takes no more than 10 minutes. We generally think linearly, so go through the list of what you must do one at a time, and make the physical gesture of crossing out the item on completion.

I mean, yes? LibreSSL is pretty easy to use. An ACME server is even easier to use. And avoiding an external certificate authority means you can avoid most of the problems that exist in the worldwide PKI to begin with. If you have an ACME-compatible server you just set up an ansible script to deploy the certs for you (I think they even provide one); it's a one-time cost of a day or so, and if your sysadmin can't set it up you've got bigger problems.
