Bear in mind that we segment our activity more in "modern" society. For example, in agrarian societies you didn't need to carve out time for exercise. Work was exercise. You also didn't need to carve out time for child care, because children worked alongside adults much of the time. And commuting wasn't really an issue when workplaces and residences were in the same community with minimal geographic separation.

It's our societal lifestyle that has demanded separate time for separate activities, resulting in a need for a greater than 24-hour day.
I think this possibly understates what people are paying for. They’re paying for fully packaged solutions. You’re paying one price in the hardware that’s accounting for the good software. Apples not selling iPhones as a stalking horse for their ad-funded search & ads business, they’re selling software running on hardware that allows people to pay for content delivery through them. This is total mission / customer alignment, so google pursuing top quality hardware only recognizes a result and not a process.

>There was no primary rigging.

No vote tampering or anything to that level. But the emails show how embedded the party leadership is with the media and how much they can use their influence. I believe pushing the superdelegate count everyday for months before even the first primary is one of the worst things I've seen.

Hey, be nice.

i think you missed the part where i said "I think this is because people mean different things when they talk about "blockchains"."

If that's what you think it is, suit yourself. Not a fan of word-play game.

Yeah, that's what I said. Like you said, it IS novel.

The Byzantine generals problem doesn't address malicious nodes, just failure prone ones. That's a pretty big difference
Beuatiful, but for certain voices.. seems very close to how computerized it sounds.... except Japanese....

I'd like to be able to record my voice - and have it translated to text, then compare how it sounds via both engines vs my voice/cadence.
This language is a drama queen. "I languish I languish". O cruel cuts of an ignorant world or a language still in search of timely niche to call home. Could've been a contender on the browser but missed that boat too and we're now stuck with Javascript -- I still can not believe it -- and so what are you good for honey? Die already.
If they are paid to comment on behalf of or in opposition to a particular candidate, it's (probably) a violation of campaign finance laws.

I don't think anyone is arguing that a Russian with a personal interest in American politics is barred from discussing a US election.
I find it so weird that Apple keeps making the same ear pod shapes. I've never been able to keep them in my ears. The silicone plugs -- especially the "winged" kind -- that everyone other than Apple (Bose, Shure, Sony etc.) uses are functionally superior. Third parties to provide soft adapters so they can fit in people's ears, but it's so weird that Apple doesn't.

I suspect aesthetics is the only reason Apple doesn't use the soft silicon type. Maybe they found that the hard plugs fit 90% of people and that's good enough.

> Don't you think that more moderate Democrats would vote for any Republican candidate if Bernie would the primaries?

No, and while Clinton supporters in the primary frequently made this electability argument, head-to-head polling consistently showed Sanders better than Clinton against Trump.

This, I know, contradicts the naive idea that candidate policy positions and voter policy preferences can be nearly reduced to a simple left-right spectrum (or even a multidimensional one) and voting maps to “which candidates policy position is closest to the voters preferred policy position”, but that model is, intuitively attractive as it might be, completely wrong.

For one thing character issues like perceived trustworthiness make a big difference.
I think the most annoying part of the 8 hour work day is that a vast majority of people aren't actually working close to 8 hours. There's a lot of talking and looking at mindless stuff. My friend worked for IBM in the finance department and he streamed every world cup game. Got a promotion too.
One use of cheap power is to do very energy intensive operations. Egypt powered fertiliser plants from the Aswan dam, and Iceland uses hydropower to smelt aluminium.

Saudi Arabia is building a huge aluminium smelter, I had thought it would be solar powered, but they would need far, far more power, and of course it couldn't run at night.

So I assume this is gas fired power, which seems strange.

How about a piercing in the earlobe, through which you secure the AirPod?

When not in use, your AirPods can double as earrings.
A lot of the targeted online advertising focused on turnout. Discouraging some voters and riling others up.
You carry your car keys in your ear? That sounds pretty hardcore.
I prefer it, because I bike with one ear in and the other tucked down the front of my shirt. If the bud in my ear falls out it's caught by the other instead of falling into gears or ground.
The people who are not voting should not be involved in the vote. It's not illegal for Russian media to cover American politics in Russia, but I think it was illegal for them to buy a bunch of ads in America without disclosing their Russian origin. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/twitter-find...
Hmmm, interesting perspective.

Having worked on election integrity, I eventually figured out that fraud and error are indistinguishable, so I should focus on mitigating errors.
There is a somewhat rare genetic disease where at some point in their life people can't sleep any more and eventually die from it. So yes, there are more.

Before the AirPods came out I had a pair of Jaybird X2's. For me at least being able to hang them around my neck when not in use did not help keep from losing them, it's the REASON I lost them. I lost my Jaybirds in about a month and a half, after having them fall off my neck without me noticing multiple times. They fell off my neck on my walk to/from work at least 4-5 times before I finally didn't notice in time to get back to them before they'd be grabbed up.

My AirPods however I've had since January/February and I still have both. I have never gotten close to losing them the 4-5 times I did with the Jaybirds, because instead of dangling around my shirt/jacket, they go back in the case and into my pocket the second they come out of my ear. I've had some cases where I misplace them at home of course, but they're not just jumping out of my ears, and if they did I'd surely notice my music/podcast stop playing.

I also have found earbuds that are actually wireless(not wired bluetooth earbuds) has been a huge improvement. For example if I pull one out, I don't have a wire hanging and pulling on the other bud uncomfortably. If my buds are getting low, I can recharge one at a time without having to stop my podcast/music. They're also massively more comfortable, the Jaybird wire was kind of tacky and would catch and move jumpily on my neck, putting on a hoodie/jacket would pull on the cable or knock them out of my ears, and putting it in front of my neck was even more annoying. (Constantly having something moving and bumping against my chin was super annoying). Bluetooth wired earbuds are fine, but after having used what was widely regarded at the time as the best pair available, using wireless earbuds makes them feel like a cheap stopgap.

You should pluralize that 'colo' then.

I've been through datacenter power outages, refusal to renew, and difficulty in getting circuits in a timely manner in multiple Tier 4 datacenters.

Self-hosting is only as good as your planning, strategy, and execution, which is much the same as the cloud world. You're probably safer running a single EC2 instance than running a single dedicated server in some random colo, but certainly running your own geographically distributed infrastructure is likely better than relying on a single AWS availability zone (for example).

However, it's a great idea to open up peoples' eyes to the idea of how being on a major cloudy provider can make you collateral damage of an attack that never would have targeted you if you were in DIY mode.

True, but that's exactly the kind of change to the API required to make it more compile-safe. I still managed to crash this API by not providing a .rawValue somewhere. I don't think applications need to crash on key-value errors.

An enum wouldn't be so bad if it also would use the associated value. Would make it impossible to set the wrong value at least.
I don't think voices are copyrightable, but the recordings used to analyze them are, and so the resulting voice might be considered a derivative work.

Sorry - I must be missing something.

300 MW = 300,000 kW

6 hours of generating capacity per day, 365 days in the year, gives 2190 hours of generation per year. 2,190 hours * 300,000kW * 0.02USD gives an annual cost to Saudi Arabia of $13.14M a year, for 300MW of installed capacity.

A modern panel is around 250W, so they are installing and running 1.2M panels, for ~$11/year per panel, including grid connection and transformation costs? Insane!
It's pretty good, but I disagree about net/http being ready out of the box.

https://github.com/golang/go/issues/16100

Your choice is to support streaming requests and suffer from a trivial slow client DOS, out of the box, or force a timeout and kill streaming requests that exceed that timeout.
For this and other reasons I still recommend fronting golang net/http with something more capable on this front.

It's interesting that we don't favour the idea of something only running in the day when transitioning to renewables. Would it be such a bad thing and would there be other operations they could happen during the night ?

I know it might mean less money or whatever, but the universe doesn't seem to run on money so it's weird logic sacrifice the environment over something like operational uptime.
Just use uBlock Origin.
it's owner-programmable, which is a plus.
I think I read "commercial" somewhere in there. So it'd be "the best you can buy", though not necesarily "the best other competing companies use" (ie: Apple).

Still, they picked one that makes theirs look vastly superior.
> it is not interesting if we just see it as some glorified chunked linked list using cryptography.

See I think the problem here is that people don't realize how many things they use are already blockchains and have been blockchains for years. Git is a blockchain, darcs was a blockchain.

Hell, lots of Wiki implementations are actually secretly blockchains.

What was novel about Satoshi's vision was POW races over the commit rights with enough smarts around how folks would accept blocks. But even then that's a game theoretical way to build the consensus.

The chain itself simply records it.

I'm seeing a trend in this thread that a fair amount of Android users are needing to call up some sort of technical support for OS or hardware issues. Aside from the quality of support being debated, is this really a common thing in the Android world (even for savvy HN users)? I personally haven't seen that case in my Apple group of friends.
Well, there's certainly a segment of the developer market who are always on the lookout for a laptop with good hardware which is also well-supported in Linux. Given that ChromeOS is running on the same kernel, I would expect that to be true here, though some Chromebooks are easier than others to directly install Linux onto.

If I'm understanding you correctly, it's already supported. The Google Translate app has a "conversation mode" where two people can take turns speaking into the phone -
https://support.google.com/translate/answer/6142474?co=GENIE...

The problem that the Pixel Buds integration aims to solve is that it gets cumbersome for two people to hand a phone back and forth. With the new UX, one person can use the phone while the other uses Pixel Buds for the duration of the conversation.

Though this is an experimental piece, the UI looks really terrible to me.

The entire status bar area in portrait mode (of which this new notch is a part) should just be treated as “not part of the screen/viewport” at all times. For any scrollable content, this area should be completely avoided in both portrait and landscape orientations.
We do also put the SSN on a form quite often.

That entire organization appears to be built on a misconception. This is the most detailed description I can find:

> I’ve dug around, and what I’ve been told is that there is an FM radio chip in older iPhones, but it’s not connected, and there’s no antenna designed for FM radio. The chip is just part of a commodity component part, and Apple only connected the parts of the chip that the iPhones were designed to use. No iPhone was ever designed to be an FM radio, and there is no “switch” that can be “flipped” — nor software update that could be issued — that could turn them into one. It’s a complete technical misconception.

Yes, Trump was shifting and incoherent on a lot of policy issues; this led lots of people to decide to believe the position they liked while discounting the others on the same issue.

This probably wouldn't work with a candidate that wasn't both a political unknown and running against an opponent with very high negatives where people were (perhaps subconsciously) looking for an excuse to vote elsewhere, but it did work in the situation that actually existed in 2016.
The IDE keeps the text files, and that's​ what your source code is made of. Go to any Smalltalk github project and you will find .st files, which are plain text files, and there's your code.

I'm a Lisper, i do know what Image-based development is, because that's what I use*

You're misunderstanding Smalltalk, probably​ because of hype mongers like the author of this article. Source is text files as usual. This is not the same as the image. Your environment, and the compiled classes, are contained in the image, but the IDE also keeps the source, text files.

>St files by the way are a serialization format, they are not meant to be hand editable and are not treated as such and contain all kinds

.st __source__ files are text files. You are confusing them with the image files.
