This map might give the misleading impression that the American Indians were a static mix of tribes, sitting in a time capsule, waiting for the Great White Man to stir things up.

In reality, the situation was fluid. The standard forces of disease, warfare, trade networks, natural disaster, and human ingenuity were always at play.
But why not use the typical solution of having two testing environments, in this case based on "develop" and "master", with the latter being bit-by-bit equal to what gets deployed?
It's been pointed out that the conclusion becomes more intuitive with one million doors and revealing 999,998 of them.

Thanks for mentioning domain fronting! It's also been used by Signal to circumvent communications censorship in Egypt [1]. We want to bring domain fronting to IPFS by making libp2p's websockets transport capable of it. [2]

Fun fact: advanced networking setups like domain fronting are impossible to address in a URL/URI scheme. Check out multiaddr :) [3] A domain-fronted service could be addressed as something like `/dns4/google.com/tcp/443/tls/sni/google.com/http/example.com/ws`

> My point was that the world around will change

Same will happen to your Swift or Android-Java codebases though. Go try to build and run on your 2015-17 machine+OS+devenv any just-slightly-real-world-beyond-hello-world run-off-the-mill 15-year old Visual Studio 6 line-of-biz (or other) codebase right now.. or whatever they used on Macs back then (I'd imagine the compatibility story for pre-OSX stuff is maybe even slightly worse than in MS land). Software that's meant to survive is meant to be maintained, I guess.

Or the server side of a web app? What's it gonna be, CGI or ASP 3 or PHP 3.. always the same story.

Bringing up HTML/JS/CSS from those days to function (though not shine) for today's requirements might prove comparatively tame by comparison =)
I always loved the end-run around the limits on patents: just say it is "on a computer" and suddenly it is not a patent on math. Never mind what sort of computer is covered.

I'm sure many of them moved on too designing even more impressive hardware and chipsets to power even more impressive computational feats.

A year or two ago, I started doing software for embedded hardware. It’s terrifying how many things we software developer abstract away, actually behave far more strangely in the real world.

There could be nothing simpler than a button press, right? And yet in the real world it often enough bounces on and then off several times, quickly. An the tiny on/offs themselves change voltage for tiny bits of time as the current coming through bounces off other components in its new path before settling down. There’s nothing that will shake your faith in binary logic as a simple hardware button.

5 Reasons Why a 2nd Korean War Won't Be Like the First (and Much Worse)
It depends what one considers Google's agenda to be.

If Google's agenda is to promote a progressive worldview, then a highly-credentialed man cultivating attention for rants about how using non-traditional gender pronouns is a road to gulags makes an unlikely champion, even if some of his more nuanced and informed opinions are interesting in their own right.

If Google's agenda is primarily to make ad revenue - which is better supported by the evidence - then having a flagging system and demonetising videos by people that annoy certain sections of society enough to get flagged a lot even if you reinstate them is probably a net positive for the overall value of advertising on Google's network. (I don't think Peterson's income has exactly suffered either; quite the reverse since his Patreon account will have enjoyed the additional publicity)
The demoscener in me disagrees with the statement entirely. ;-)

From the article:

It requires 3 inputs, the first video, the second video being turned to, and a typically solid color/image that represents the back of the page

This effect probably doesn't require that much processing power since all it needs to do is switch (up to) twice on each scanline, from the pixels of A to "back" to B; the switching points themselves can be calculated straightforwardly since they vary linearly. Making the "back" itself be another video doesn't add much extra processing. Here's a visual schematic of one frame halfway through the effect (- = first video, + = second video, b = back):

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
---------------+++++++++++++++
---------------b++++++++++++++
---------------bbb++++++++++++
... ...
---------------bbbbbb+++++++++
---------------bbbbbbbb+++++++
---------------bbbbbbbbbb+++++
---------------bbbbbbbbbbbb+++
------------------------------

As a rough guess, it's probably doable in around a dozen extra calculations per scanline, which in NTSC is slightly less than 64us. Assuming (a very generous) 100 clock cycles for those calculations, and hardware which has a video mux so the software doesn't have to copy the pixels, that turns out to require... slightly less than 1.6MHz.

Of course, if your hardware doesn't have a mux and you need to copy the pixels between various buffers, then the requirement goes up around an order of magnitude... but probably still doable on something like a 33MHz 386.
Here's some podcast I listen to.

1. Joe Rogan Podcast - usually interesting regardless of what you're interested in. Good interviews with athletes, thinkers, actors, comedians, etc.

2. Sam Harris Waking Up - interesting interviews with experts on a range of topics.

3. You are not so Smart - great for understanding human psychology, biases, cognitive science, etc.

4. The Power Hour - Nice for getting insight into aspects of the global energy industry and how it relates to governments.

5. SWR2 Wissen - in German, but really high quality production in essay format, where they take a topic and dissect it for about 20 minutes.
Who is "they" exactly? We're talking about millions of people. I'm pretty sure there's a wide spectrum of reasons and opinions.
In the Eventual Consistency of Succeeding at Microservices • Kenny Bastani
Finesse gives you two things:

Quite directly, from ground altitude, a range within which to look for a place to land. As you mentioned the impressive finesse of gliders gives you more room, but gliders won’t generally be flying as high as cruising powered planes.

Combined with speed, a timeframe within which you have to observe, orient, decide and act. Here, both top speed and stall speed give you some hints, and within which there’s a best speed where finesse is optimal. You can imagine how it’s very different between an A320 and a glider, the former for which time runs quickly, you have to decide where to go in as few minutes as possible, the latter for which decision time brought back at a human thinking time scale makes it less stressful but you have to keep cautious of your goal for a longer stretch of time.

Obviously that’s without counting on soaring, which A320s can hardly benefit from (I suppose they can but would largely not move up and certainly not turn since it would would incur too huge drag).
Google sells ads that lead to products. In some(or maybe many) cases, a marketplace is a strong alternative to ads(altough it may use some ads, i'm guessing that much less). Amazon kinda proved it(and hurt Google along the way) , but maybe there are many niches, globally, and ways to aggregate them(or just help), to continue with this trend. In a sense that may also apply to facebook(ads), maybe.

Amazon's main strength is warehouses and fullfilment. Flexe, through a new, low capital biz model, similar to airbnb, have created a large fullfilment network across the US. There's potential there, maybe to hurt Amazon. Also, this will be expanded globally, and hurt Amazon further. it's just a question of when, i think. Altough , on the other hand, Amazon's seller-fullfiled-prime may be a good antidote.

Also wish.com(cheap good directly from china,maybe opening a US warehouse) does interesting things in trading quality/speed for low price, and there might be a path for them to retain low prices while improving quality/speed.

Startups that will help Walmart to challenge Amazon, could also be a great help. so there's that startup that made a robotic parcel locker , much bigger with higher package density. or any new tech that can help walmart with their giant parcel lockers for groceries(including chilling , etc).
I believe the assertion was that a tolerant society succumbs to the political ideas they tolerate. The OP seems to be arguing that tolerating distasteful political ideas will inherently lead to society adopting those distasteful political ideas which ends in it's ruin.

I find that assessment difficult to swallow and was asking for a citation or example of when this happened.

I also find that idea dangerous, because in the US political power changes every 4-12 years and ideas you might hold dear may be deemed distasteful. Of course, I'm willing to discuss the merits of that idea rather than just banning it.

How should we value crypto-assets? A primer
This is a classic. IMHO, HAKMEM should be required reading for everyone who programs computers. Likewise, everyone should own and read Hank Warren's Hackers Delight. For advanced practitioners, Knuth's Art of Computer Programming (particularly Volume 4) has some similar material. All explore the deep relationship between mathematics and programming.
But there is no need for new tech for most people, so why change something that just works? The form factor is fine, battery life amazing, and does everything you need it to. I don't see why apple would cancel it, it also helps sell people into their ecosystem.
I completely agree with this, and it is an under-rated and under-investigated idea.
There have been the Calexit movement [1] and various movements in Texas [2]. Texas in particular has some substantial poll numbers.

One way to look at it is that the sovereign country of Spain has a right to split itself up in two countries. Therefore all Spaniards should have a say.

Another way to look at it is that every sub-entity of any country has a right to unilaterally declare itself independent for whatever reason (often because it is wealthier).

I think neither of these views is sufficient. We have to accept that this is a tricky question that is very difficult to solve in a principled way.
Ask HN: How did you found your niche
Been struggling for a while with getting my first customers for my side-project, that I find very useful regarding data science. I would like to ask you a couple of questions for finding a niche:

* How your searching did look like? Google? Local hackerspaces?

* How long did it take till you realized that >it was your niche<?

* Have you been engaged with the community before you started to market your product?

>Limit patent claims to one page

Wouldn't that force people to be vague? More pages would mean more specificity, wouldn't it? A patent can currently only cover one thing anyway, and even if this wasn't the case then people would just submit many one-page patents instead of a 100-page collection of 100 smaller patents.

>not her lawyer

Can I ask why you specified her? I am all for gender equality and am currently trying to get into the habit of using "them" and "theirs" instead of "him" and "his" but switching to the opposite gender doesn't seem to solve anything. Plus it reads oddly because the male is gender-neutral in English, swapping it with a word that is not gender-neutral is confusing.
Colossus was an important machine, but I don't think it was a stored-program computer (it was programmed through a plug-board.) On the other hand, Wikipedia's entry on stored-program computers says "In 1936 Konrad Zuse anticipated in two patent applications that machine instructions could be stored in the same storage used for data", though I don't think it was implemented in any of his machines.

Isn't the concept kind of implicit in a universal Turing machine?

The headline is very misleading.

Quotes from the contents of the article:

"researchers believe the fat in milk cancels out the positive effects of calcium, triggering inflammation and increasing the risk of heart attacks"

"low fat dairy products such as cheese and yogurt were found to have a beneficial effect, reducing early death and promoting bone health."

"Public Health England said other studies showed milk protected against heart disease and stroke and may help prevent diabetes."
That must surely top the list of most awesome pilot announcements (and, simultaneously, best British understatement).

I got a little too interested in the Comanche over the summer, which the article notes is actually a Ute word basically meaning "enemy". The Utes called them enemy because the Comanche prior to European contact lived in the Rockies much farther north. It was only the horse which allowed them to move out onto the plains. He's got them located in the plains of Texas, which again, they weren't at until probably after 1700 and when they were they completely dominated a region way bigger than that.

Wiki:

The Comanche emerged as a distinct group shortly before 1700, when they broke off from the Shoshone people[15] living along the upper Platte River in Wyoming. In 1680, the Comanche acquired horses from the Pueblo Indians after the Pueblo Revolt.[16] They separated from the Shoshone after this, as the horses allowed them greater mobility in their search for better hunting grounds.

I have really grown to resent that tone and it's become very popular in a lot of opinion writing on the web. Seeing it from a psychedelic advocate is not doing his cause any favours.

So long as these companies maintain their dominant positions, and no major market shifts happen (such as introduction of the global computer network), it's not likely that someone can challenge them directly.

However, they are being challenged by groups of smaller startups.

For example, Facebook is losing its appeal due to apps like Snapchat, Houseparty, etc.

Amazon is being nibbled away by direct-to-consumer companies, like Casper and Dollar Shave Club.

Google is getting challenged by voice assistants, chatbots, and so on.

A good way to think of it is not as who can challenge these companies, but which human needs can be served better.
