Read all the stories about this burger, they made it sound so amazing. So when I heard it was available in SF I called my sister who has been a vegan for 35 years and asked her to try it.

She had a high degree of anticipation but said afterward it wasn't that different than other alternatives. In fact she said the company was better at marketing hype than any real breakthrough.

So the impossible burger is coming to Detroit. Next time I'm in the city think I'm going to try the new Shake Shack instead.

I've read a couple pieces on here lately that cover a couple of important topics that anyone who values computing freedom should read.

https://slashdot.org/submissio...
https://slashdot.org/submissio...

I'd like to elaborate a little bit more on these topics and discuss the popular programming language Python.

To start, just in the slim chance one of you neckbeards doesn't know who I am. I am Richard Stallman overlord of GNU and the Free Software Foundation. Ever compile a C program on Linux? Ya well your welcome. Basically I am computer Jesus. I make sure you can all use these magic boxes without having to suck a fat load of jew cum outta Gates or Job's mummified member.

So Python. Seems fucking great doesn't it? No curly brackets, no pesky static types, lots of libraries, taught in so called 'universities', and a cute little mascot to boot. Yup Python sure is fucking swell. If you're a jew.

Python took everything the snake learned from Java convinced the idiots Java was too hard and took a fat shit on everyone with Python.

First and foremost it again focusses on object oriented programming. A concept specifically created with the jewish philosophy of materialism as it's central tenant. No more are computers processors and memory but a collection of shallow objects. Using object oriented programming literally makes you stupider.

Now the part I'm sure you've all been waiting for. Whitespace. Probably the most common complaint about Python and rightly so. What the fuck? I mean only a jew could come up with something so insidious. Lets force everyone to program the same way. Let's make something trivial and shallow not recognized by any other respectable language, not even jewva, and make it the central focus point for delimiting code. Fucking brilliant. Well from a jew point of view. What better way to numb the last bit of grey matter left in a computer users head then having them focus on making sure their fucking tabs are perfect. Then there's the part where you will literally become a jew by using Python. The first time you use white space delimiting a snake will come and circumcise you with it's fangs. If this happens you'd be better off putting one through the temple or sticking the ole double barrel under the chin there's no hope for you at that point. Unless you enjoy the taste of jew semen that is.

Well I've gone on long enough remember if you use free software I'm basically your God. Even Linus is nothing without me. Keep fighting the snake and for computing freedom.

Richard Stallman signing out.

We're currently trying to use any possible method to promote our website. It's been a year since we recovered from a penalty from Google which dramatically changed our income situation. We're now using every known method to promote our website. Social Media ads, newsletters, promo-codes, giveaways, partnerships with different websites related to our field and so on. We started changing our website content a little bit, text-wise, images-wise but there is still not a lot of revenue.
Spain has been an actual fascist state, so historically this is unrelated, but you may find it interesting to know that it's also present quite prominently at the US Congress[0] as well as in the US Senate's seal[1].

As you probably know, the agent is defined via environment variables, so you're right the same inconvenience would exist. BTW, have you looked into configuring different per-host (or per-environment) credentials via `~/.ssh/config`? Agent forwarding in general is often seen as a weak mechanism to propagate trust and from Teleport's team perspective it's a backward compatibility feature.

Speaking generally, Teleport solves the similar problem (trust propagation and role based access control for SSH) by not using public keys at all, and instead issuing role-based certificates, i.e. enforcing corporate policies like "developers must never touch production data" or cross-organizational policies like "these contractors can only touch this sandbox).
The context of when the book was written has more to do with it—at a time when startups didn't have access to the great SaaS tools we have today.

Now, you can start and scale a business with just 1 or 2 people to the point of "product market fit" simply by using more specialized software. You don't have to brute force as much of the initial stage compared to the time the book was published, where "pivoting" was more uncomfortable (i.e.: sunk cost fallacy).
Given the unknowns around Russia's influence including the DNC and Podesta hacks and coordinated release via Wikileaks, buying campaign ads on Facebook, and other potential money-related shenanigans, "fair and square" might be up for debate.
Thanks for the feedback. It's currently mirroring the HN data in memory and not using it's own database. Any writes would be stored temporarily on one server. Also I'd be worried about people inputting credentials on a demo system. Nevertheless it's on the todo list in some form!

Bear in mind, Tizen supports Android apps. Samsung would have a lot of work to do here, but would have the pull to get the top X apps on their market, even if it took paying devs to list them. Then just add a migration tool like Google has on their Pixel devices that plugs into their old phone and downloads all of the same apps on their new phone (and probably would report back to Samsung which apps they were unable to do so with so they know who to encourage), and voila.

I'm sure there'd be some loss, but Samsung would likely come out doing fine. Even if they lost some market share, their profits would likely go up in the end, since they'd be the ones pulling the app market cuts and such.

They didn't add ARKit support to Chrome. ARKit only runs on iOS. Chrome isn't allowed to run on iOS. (The iOS Chrome app is just WKWebView with a Chrome branding wrapper, plus a few features bolted onto the side.) But even if somebody did build the real Chrome browser on iOS, Apple wouldn't allow anyone to publish it on their app store.

On iOS, WebARonARKit simply uses WKWebView's standard method of sending messages back and forth to the browser:

[userContentController addScriptMessageHandler:self name:@"WebARonARKit"];

https://github.com/google-ar/WebARonARKit/blob/master/WebARo...

My question is why did they have to make a custom Chrome build on Android, to simply integrate the browser with a library like they did on iOS (WKWebView <=> ARKit)? Why didn't they use the off-the-shelf WebView browser component for Android instead of building their own monolithic custom Chrome app, just to integrate the browser with an Android library (WebView <=> arcore-android-sdk)?

I think it's more likely that one of the purposes of the beta was to determine when thermal throttling was ideal, given real-world workloads (which are hard to fine-tune without knowing exactly how people will use it).

It's a pity thermal throttling is necessary; but at least in a Mac form-factor, there would be more cooling options.

How many people do you know who changed their votes due to those things?
It's generally true for all legislative seats, except ones where the incumbent is running. (For seats where the incumbent is running, the win is strongly biased due to name recognition and the perception of job experience and, and thus that in and of itself attracts money). Perhaps if we were serious about ending political corruption, we would institute term limits.
That sounds great in theory but is pretty unrealistic in today's societies.
Never heard of a case where someone has been arrested for saying anything that isn't aimed at causing vioelnce. The UK government _do_ allow a lot of open debate on political topics (and every other type of topic) as long as it doesn't threaten peoples health.
While it is true pretty much every major TV network and newspaper exists solely based on state bias and special privilege to get them where they are now, you aren't mandated to consume any of them. At least with the Internet speech is as restricted as you want to let it be - at least until Ajit Pai gets his way.

The millions who like being misled by mainstream big money media are doing it wilfully at least. They believe what they want to believe. The only problem I see is how many of them have never been presented with an objective choice between being rational and skeptical versus blind trust of major brands that were pressed upon them from youth.

Beef before it's cut has the potential to have harmful microbes on it's surface, but they don't travel very fast, so they can't get deep, which is why it's safer to cook to a lesser degree than ground meat.

Ground meat on the other hand can introduce those harmful surface microbes to the rest of the meat, so burgers have to be cooked all the way through to ensure those microbes are successfully deaded.
It's a very commonly used example. I'm sure there are many chemistry teachers that use it.

The discussion that I actually remembered was

https://blog.plover.com/law/Godel-dictatorship.html

which discusses the prospect of having Congress admit large numbers of new states with extremely tiny populations, in order to give those populations a straightforward and routine way of passing constitutional amendments. Guerra-Pujol doesn't think this is what Gödel had in mind, and indeed things it was just about the ability to amend the constitution via its official amendment procedure so as to eliminate particular rights, political institutions, or restrictions on further amendments.
In that case the federal government should consider amending the Constitution, or something like that. Which isn't necessarily that simple.

For example, the wide majority that is needed for constitutional changes would require agreement at the federal level even beyond parties that are part of the government. Also, some constitutions have provisions that are explicitly listed as un-amendable.

In the case of Catalunya there are other issues. For example, admission to the EU of Catalunya would probably be vetoed by Spain and by almost any other country that has regions with strong separatist movements (e.g. Spain would have vetoed the admission of Scotland, had the Scottish referendum passed). This would be a big unknown for Catalan economy.
I'm sure benevolent corporations will step in to fill that power vacuum. It could usher in a glorious new guilded age.
Outside of hacking the voting machines (which does not seem to be the centerpiece of investigations), anything that would make up for 1.1 billion worth of expenditure of "influence", I would love to know it.

Ask HN: What would be your ideal developer laptop?
I would like something like:

- Screen from 2017 15" rMBP

- Speakers from 2017 15" rMBP

- Keyboard from 2015 15" rMBP

- Port selection of 2015 15" rMBP, except with the two TB2 ports upgraded to two TB3 ports

- Magsafe charger

- Battery from 2015 15" rMBP (99.5 Wh)

- 8th gen Intel quad core CPUs and RAM up to 32GB

- User upgradable SSD and RAM

If I used Windows as my dev OS I would like something like:

- Dell XPS 15 9560 with a better keyboard, an additional TB3 port (TB3 x4 ports of course), Intel NIC, and significantly less QC issues

- Thinkpad T570 with quad core 8th gen Intel CPU and two TB3 ports

Would would be your ideal developer laptop?
Very good points, thanks. I struggled with this myself as I was trying to plan out the structure of the book. I ultimately went with the "path of least resistance" (ASP.NET Core MVC ships with Bootstrap, jQuery, etc) but I agree that it could be better in future versions. :)

I agree. I'm becoming slightly irritated by blog posts that claim something as new that appears to be either nil improvement or minor increment from what has gone before. This isn't the first or the second time I've seen it from MapBox, and I'm now sceptical of what they seem to claiming as real breakthroughs. There are thousands of researchers involved in geo worldwide - every time I dip into a journal I am humbled by the progress that is being made and the depth of the research that is being performed. Are we really to believe that MapBox are finding things that the global research community have missed? I suspect HN is a ready audience as most users do not have a formal education in geo.
In a very similar vein, I've found the recently published book Sense & Respond to be worthwhile:

Is the article counting money spent on behalf of the candidate but not in their name?

But there is truth to the law of diminishing returns on political spending. The most effective spending tends to be in downballot races where it's relatively cheap to completely swamp the existing spending in the race.

Thanks for the feedback! I don't have anything in the works right now, but will definitely consider it.
It seems far more likely that we design our system to actually work with Political Parties (instead of being corrupted by Political parties), rather than trying to ban political parties.

Tribalism, Cheerleading, Echo-chambers, "Fake News", Yellow Journalism, Propaganda... these are facts-of-life in America and no amount of legal writing will prevent humans from being humans. We will always separate ourselves into camps during political decisions.

Its a bad thing for our democracy because our system wasn't designed for it. But alternative voting mechanisms or improved systems can allow us to make progress in spite of the corrupting influence of human nature.

What have we learned in the past 250ish years of this country? And what can we do with that knowledge to improve our country? In general, this country learns to harness human nature, instead of trying to defeat it.

When you try and defeat human nature (say: Amendment 18), you are only met with failure.

This. I don't think anything Samsung has put out, with due deference to Samsung developers' work, has convinced me that Samsung management is capable of stewarding an Android fork sustainably with Google-equivalent resources. Much less with the fewer resources they'd have to spend on it.
Seconded. It infuriates me when people get enraged about lobbyists, but also whine about representatives being payed too much. The only thing that seems to make those folks happy is if the person is independently wealthy (see Trump).
I apologize. Should have said "the president shouldn't govern the economy." You are right, the president does have immense control and influence over the economy. "what is your vision for the economy?" is an easy to imagine debate question.

When the president or politicians in general have so much power over the economy, can we be surprised when people value influencing that process as much as they do?
