You're right, I accidentally conflated it with spitting out gum:

It is illegal to drop litter, and to “spit any substance or expel mucus from the nose upon or on to any street or any public place”. Penalties for a first offence can be as much as S$2,000, or S$10,000 for doing it three times. In both cases you may also be forced to clean the streets wearing a green vest.
I did not attempt to provide six citations. I provided a six-step argument (evidence), added footnotes to each step to explain why that step holds (evidence) and some of these footnotes contained citations to works (also evidence) that support the step.

You also didn't seem to be very interested in the book, since you couldn't find it on the internet: https://mises.org/system/tdf/Henry%20Hazlitt%20Economics%20i...

Your problem seems to be that you conflate evidence (something that gives you more information) with citations (a means to point to evidence someone else has already collected). When someone asks for evidence, they don't necessarily need citations. You could just refer to something they already know, and provide a logical argument from there. That is also why I didn't bother linking to a mathematics textbook for [2], since I'm pretty sure you have already been exposed to the necessary concepts.

It's interesting that people go out of their way to complain about their privacy being invaded by cameras, drones, the NSA snooping backbones, google, etc but most of us are fine with out browsers connecting to 61 different domains (CNN.com) to render a 3 paragraph news story.

I'm going to branch out from 3. here:

4) Why do they prefer driving these cars? Can we make public transport as good or even better than driving a car?

5) Let's put in place a plan to improve public infrastructure while restricting new cars on the road.

6) Once we satisfactorily accomplish 5, we can phase out cars.

My primary point being it's easy to create strawman lines of thought and have no meaningful conversation. ;)

I agree 100%. Also, Merkle Trees would only benefit static content uploaded to the Internet. Updating any dynamic content would constantly generate a new root hash meaning a new URL with each update to that specific content. It's just not a good option for anything other than static content in general.

One place I could see it being valuable is with an online archiving type service like Archive.org where the content doesn't change except when a new snapshot of that content is recorded displaying any changes made to that content.

There was probably a gigabit switch somewhere or that was being a bottleneck or the web server was simply misconfigured for this task.

Hm I'm not sure, I haven't used it for that so I don't know. It's mostly designed so that you don't have to take them off for a quick interaction, so it's definitely not optimized for your use case. For example, the fan noise in our server room is at least partly in the frequency spectrum it lets through, so it's useless there.

Not a compilers guy, so when you say "eliding loops", do you refer to optimizing out loops that the compiler assumes are side-effect free?

Coming from an embedded background, the form "while (true) { // do nothing of interest }" is seen a lot in embedded code. If your code is interrupt driven, or running certain RTOSes, you would usually see this at the end of main(), since everything happens in interrupts. You might also see this in error handlers, and "unimplemented" interrupt handlers during development, as a way to trap the program without halting / resetting the system completely. If this kind of loop was optimized out / you returned-from-main on your embedded system, interesting and unintended things may happen.

While I've never had problems with these particular loops being optimized out (that I can remember!), I do remember having to do other vary silly hacks to try and tell the compiler not to optimize things out, because something is happening in hardware that it wasn't aware of, so I wonder if this is just a practical way of making sure that this kind of code keeps working with newer compilers, even in the face of aggressive optimization.

I completely agree with you, and I think your branch is a good one. Also, personally, I look forward to the day when cities are essentially free of car traffic. I envision wide pedestrian boulevards.

Speaking by analogy, most of us rational thinkers accept that we cannot make conclusions such as "our government needs more money, therefore we must increase taxes." Maybe, but maybe not.

But I've noticed with cars (or, maybe insects) it seems to be easier to jump to "let's tax and regulate these bothersome machines away."

> Austin, Houston, and Dallas don't have very restrictive zoning or rules around new home construction, and they lap California in home building and have seen rents hardly rise at all

not exactly true.. in htx new construction is all luxury, and many people are moving in from out of state; those that can afford it and want to can go to the luxury units and those have had price 'reductions' (from overpriced initial prices) but the 'regular' apts have seen rents rise quite a bit because the newcomers have squeezed the existing people into more competition for the cheaper units..

i posit that subsequently the emptier, overprovisioned high end buildings will start to fail, and become a glut of relatively high price condos, which will then cause the regular housing prices to go up..

I think it's fair to say it's both because it's the primary navigation tool on a site with a fair amount of linked content (otherwise what's the point in putting content on it if it's not meant to be discovered?)

As a toy, I do completely agree with you. As I said in my previous post, I do really like the idea. But as a navigation tool I think there are areas for refinement while retaining the same fun factor.

Exploding demand is the real catalyst producing AI talent shortages. At both the Fortune 100 end of the spectrum, as well as the 3-person garage startup level.

Think about Spotify's Discover Weekly feature and how it multiplies user engagement. Collaborative filtering of 100M users can possibly be done by a CS undergrad on their NVidia 1050 gaming laptop in a couple of hours. Metadata analysis of 1B songs is more of a grad level problem for someone with access to the departmental research cluster. But machine learning audio tempo, frequency and pitch similarity for thousands of new songs added daily? That requires a corporate R&D budget and dedicated cloud GPU resources. And at least one luminary for the "breakthrough" that takes you from 95% to 97-99% human level understand which will make the technology world competitive.

The great thing about AI that perhaps many overlook is that genius is not required to build a startup with unicorn status valuation ;) Look at the recent YC article on Toutiao, where a handlful of engineers built a news content generation algorithm in a few months. If your input data quality is very high at the outset, even standard sci-kit out of the box t-SNE classification can prove "unreasonably effective"!

Office overhead is just due to the monopolistic reliance on a few expensive aids. Optometry requires specialists of differing degree (optometrist vs. opthamologist) yet contacts are dirt cheap because of industry competition. The same is true of corrective glasses, LASIK etc. etc. Hearing aids shouldn't be any different.
>To get a hearing aid fine-tuned to your specific hearing loss you need a professional in a shop equipped and trained to use with the professional fitting software of the hearing aid

Or you need better fitting software that doesn't require a trained professional to use.
Isn't 'never' an oversimplification? Sometimes there is a feedback loop between UI effects and user input, or the user input changes the way the UI registers hits, which means subsequent input depends on complete processing of prior inputs. On a static view like a calculator grid, you should default to non blocking animation, but sometimes blocking is the desired behavior.
I always wanted a serial transfer available from this escape so I could drop into sftp mode or kermit/xmodem/zmodem files over inside of the same session.

There are actually more things supported by ssh than are exposed here (clone and stuff) but just not implemented in openssh's ssh client.
I'm so glad this is rapidly becoming the default. Just a few years ago people would come up with the silliest excuses to avoid migrating to HTTPS.
The escape sequence for Telnet, however, was exponential. This lead to the Telnet Song, by Guy Steele, a link to which was once posted on HN.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2060597

Note that the "up arrow" referred to in the song is not the current up arrow on the cursor keypad. Some early versions of ASCII-ish had an up arrow where the caret is now. And telnet actually mostly used control-], not control-^ anyway. I seem to recall Steele saying that he used "up arrow" because it worked better in the lyrics. I heard Steele sing this once and I think I recorded it.
Evaluating all javascript to see if it eventually writes an email address is not a good idea.

Research > personalized email > set the call for discussion or demo > close the deal is a GREAT active way to get customers. That said, I find many people in Tech opt for passive, less intrusive sales methods. Both can be successful, especially over time. But if you can get good (and even comfortable) with the Active way to sell, he potential for you to build scalable businesses in most any arena is near limitless.
> Keep in mind that the smaller the hearing loss the more sophisticated the hearing aid you need to get a benefit. If you have a slight hearing loss you will experience issues in the "hardest" situations for hearing aids to cope with such as conversations in noisy places or bad telephone reception.

I wonder if improving performance would make hearing aids become a "want" rather than a "need"? Bionic ears outperforming natural ones, allowing the user to select different bands/ranges to listen to, sounds like a pretty neat futuristic thing to have.

It's not like people are shy about enhancing their natural abilities with the help of technology, it's pretty much in the current zeitgeist.

The way this is done in dat (via the hypercore module) is that the share key is a publickey, the merkle tree is signed with the private key. Updates can stream in on the log, and only the keys in the tree that have changed need updating. The history is stored in the log so you can retrieve any previous version.

Small misunderstanding.

The browsers have a list of CA's they trust. Let's call them the root CAs. You normally won't get a http cert signed by a root CA, it's normally done by an intermediate CA. Now your browser doesn't that, but it's been signed by a root CA so your browser eventually trusts it. You get your server to also serve the intermediate CA certs to save a round trip for requesting it. But in the end, because it's the chain of trust, your browser trusts it because it's eventually signed by a trusted root CA.

Now if you create your own CA you will need to be installed in the users browsers to trust. Even if you put the intermediate certificates as your browser can't establish a link of trust.

I find this very interesting.

As already pointed out, I imagine there could be some subtle benefit to delivering a majority of connections to a single process while it isn't overloaded, so even perfectly even load balancing can have some disadvantages.

majke, the benchmark you did with SO_REUSEPORT, was that against a NUMA system / recent kernel? I've completely lost track of it, but I think I remember reading that there has been some work on mapping the NIC Queues, Cores, and Workers together, allowing a flow to worker being able to be processed on the same core. I'm just curious if the benchmark shown was able to take advantage of that or not (and as an aside how much of a benefit mapping this together really has).

I know all of this, I know how to pick locks.

Bumping is the most common attack as it requires relatively little skill and the least amount of time (short of dynamic entry). And most common locks are vulnerable to it, so that would include many office locks since they cheap out on them.

Picking takes time, but if I can loid the latch or otherwise bypass the lock, I can get through the door a lot faster than picking it. An Abloy or S&G lock does you no good if your lock fitment is shit with your dead latch not engaging.

Ask HN: Would you pay for a forecasting API?
It is simple as follows:

You upload your time-series data (e.g. csv) that contains data points (contains arbitrary number of features and y column as the main value) from a timespan T1-T2 (monthly, daily, sub-daily, etc.).
We return you the predicted values for the timespan T2-T3

Forecasting/prediction might be trained daily or near-realtime fashion.

So far we had worked on fast-food transactions over the time and found accurate results in daily and hourly basis.

Should we work on this further and provide it as a service? Would you pay for it?
