I took a look at all 65 papers listed as paywalls.

Of them, 5 are actually available directly from the publisher so they shouldn't be listed as paywalls, and all of the remainder are available from at least one of Google Scholar/Google/Libgen; of the 60 actually-paywall papers, 54 are available from GS/G and only 6 force you to go all the way to Libgen. (I am taking the liberty of rehosting 10 of them myself, though, to get them into GS.)

Of the 65, notes on the ones not immediately available in GS:

> Density-functional thermochemistry. III. The role of exact exchange

Citation-only in Google Scholar but easily found in Google or SH/LG.

> Detection of specific sequences among DNA fragments separated by gel-electrophoresis

Paywall-only in Google Scholar, not immediately available in Google but easily gotten from SH/LG.

> Processing of X-ray diffraction data collected in oscillation mode

GS paywall-only, not in Google, but SH/LG.

> Isolation of biologically active ribonucleic acid from sources enriched in ribonuclease

Likewise.

> the attractions of proteins for small molecules and ions

Likewise.

> Helical microtubules of graphitic carbon

GS links to paywall but findable in G.

> A technique for radiolabeling DNA restriction endonuclease fragments to high specific activity

GS/G paywall but SH/LG.

> Phase annealing in SHELX-90: direct methods for larger structures

I am not sure why this one was listed as 'paywall' when it appears to be available directly from the publisher: http://journals.iucr.org/a/issues/1990/06/00/an0278/an0278.p...

> A study of the conditions and mechanism of the diphenylamine reaction for the colorimetric estimation of deoxyribonucleic acid

Also directly available: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1215910/pdf/bio...

Yes, we will update the C Class next month since our private line has a lot of foundry specific code that needs to be removed. The I class needs more work but the design is in place. It will also move to quad issue and would be a Cortex A72/75 class core. More importantly the basic slow IPs, UART, I2C, quad/Octal SPI, SDRAM controller, JTAG, DMA, PLIC will be FPGA and silicon proven and production quality. Will be very useful to other developers (non RISC-V also) as would the AXI bus.
Basically yes, but that's often not good enough either. Lots of third party code OEMs end up with in their kernels, unmaintainable, and often incompatible with anything.

Just glanced over a video of his. It does fit in with what I already know, so he likely has the answer. But good luck with getting it noticed. On an average people will not even investigate simple solutions. Essentially the average human mind rationalizes that it sounds too good/easy to be true. ( and Bill Gates is a very average guy outside his computer/money prowess) They would rather believe authority figures who would come up with the next designer drug which modulates the complex chemical biological pathways to offer modest benefits. Designer drugs also make for good profits.

Install a non-exotic alternative launcher. I use Nova, it's very similar to the Google launcher and well polished. Not sure if all vendor images allow it. I have a Moto G5 with the vendor image.

I find it quite interesting that Android even has all the interfaces and permissions to allow alternative launchers. What a great feature in this generally fairly locked-down space of non-PC OSes.

Yes, like MS, type 1 diabetes is considered to be an autoimmune disease. It's surprising to me as someone who hasn't studied medicine how related to each other autoimmune issues seem to be. Rheumatoid arthritis and latitude is another one that follows this same pattern. This article from 2010 about rheumatoid arthritis also mentions the link to low vitamin D levels, and that the link isn't understood.

This was trademarked by Audio Devices in Stamford, CT, in 1971, which makes sense since the Commodore Datasette likely didn't exist until the Commodore PET was created in 1977. Commodore seemed to use both 'datasette' and 'datassette'. Perhaps Commodore registered the double-S spelling. Perhaps they were challenged by Audio Devices for using the 'datasette' spelling.
I was wondering what a fair price would be for this kind of work. There's a lot of work that goes into producing a high-quality version of this. If you take into account the hours and materials, it certainly seems like you could reasonably charge $1000 or more. It also seems hard to scale this work, so you're not going to make a lot by automating the process much.

Windows driver API has been far from stable from Windows Vista. One of my computers came with Windows Vista (a 2009 Dell Pentium Dual Core - not the Core 2 Duo I referenced) and it still runs Windows 10.

Microsoft provided drivers for the standard PC hardware that was in my 2006 Core Duo Mac Mini and Windows 7 recognized all of my hardware - usb, sound, graphics, Bluetooth, Ethernet etc.

Microsoft goes out of its way to provide drivers for the most popular PC hardware. Mac OS is Unix (i.e certified by the Open Grouo) and doesn't have that problem.

Edit Rant:

But why are printer drivers still a thing? Apple introduced AirPrint for iOS 4 back in 2010 and for MacOS a few years later. I never have to worry about printer drivers when I update my OS. New printers bought in 2017 work perfectly with my 7 year old iPad without having to worry about drivers.

Yeah, I saw all of that (and more). Doesn't rule out what I said.

I presume Comcast was advertising those (longer) prefixes to Level 3 to manage traffic flow and they shouldn't have been propoagated to other customers. To do that, you'd typically apply BGP communities (no-export or other, Level3-specific ones) to those prefixes. A lack of those communities on the prefixes would result in them getting propagated to other Level3 peers. When that happened, it would look exactly like and result in this route leak.
Since the US heavily supplied the USSR in WW2, I don't think they were industrially on par with the US.
It's not uncommon for a given piece to be submitted a number of times before it "takes" (if it does at all). Also, it looks like both times this has been submitted the article title has been different. It might get more visibility if it's submitted by a well-known HN member, but overall, I wouldn't read too much into it.
Remember RSS feeds? :).
I've been going back an forth between Chrome and Firefox for the past couple of months with the number of posts that I've seen on HN. Every time I always realize that Firefox doesn't have workspaces.

Some of them would have been a lot quicker than that, some would have taken a bit longer. In studies the mean is generally in the 15-20 second range, but some individual data points are just a couple seconds and some are >30 seconds.
Stop bundling antifeatures into security updates and maybe people will want them.
>This may get downvotes, but the speed with which careers are being destroyed based on mere allegations of sexual misconduct these days is frightening.

I think that traditional avenues have failed victims. This is especially true for Hollywood which has been abusing power long before the tech industry existed (see the exploitation of Judy Garland from the Wizard of Oz)[0].

If there are any false allegations (through evidence or admission), we will need to see how the media treats that. If they don't give it the same coverage as the accused are currently getting, then that's obviously a problem with the media and society. That would clearly be bias and possibly sexist.

If all of these allegations hold true, then the media has successfully done the job where law and society could not.

Really? I can configure two personas to go through two different proxies? I can disable javascript in one and leave it enabled in the other?

Those are features I need in Containers, but as far as I've been able to read, they aren't present and there are no plans to allow for them.

...or they could raise driver's revshare, and have drivers compete based on quality metrics instead of only price.

> At the end of the day, the same income should pay the same federal tax.

I suspect you say this with the belief that things like state/local tax deductions are unique in how they cause the same income to pay different tax, but that's simply not true, and there's precedent littered across the federal tax code that enables this. Consider simple things like dependent exemptions and the difference between filing status (single, joint, separately, head of household) that can change how much tax you owe even if you earn the same income.
i suppose it depends on there being a similar circumstance. if accusations of interpersonal 'racial harassment' became more regular, you would probably see a shift in behavior with some people going out of their way to avoid 'risky' situations.

The obvious thing to say is to just get a Nexus/Pixel device and enjoy your updates but I'm sure this isn't an option for some people.

I think the best thing that you can do to ensure you still get security updates is either make sure you get a device with an unlocked bootloader or hope there's a root exploit available so you can put something like LinageOS[1] on it.

I picked up an Essential Phone (on the cheap) for the former even though they appear to be getting timely updates so far (one day behind pixel) if you're willing to sideload with adb (and promises of support for 3 years). Also managed to grab it for < $150 TOTAL (sprint lease after buyout on day 1). They really seem to want to offload some of the stock.

I don't think I'll ever buy an android phone that's not a pixel (formerly nexus) that's not unlocked again.

I drive for Uber. And the first line that said it was co-authored by Uber tells you everything. I detest this company and I will celebrate the day that it goes bankrupt.
Android is as mature as Windows XP, every vendor has their own where they customised everything and no-one has a pristine one. And also the pre-installed ROM is also often the same quality as the warez.

Thank you!

I've never heard of a "founder dating" type site but that's certainly interesting and I will look into that.

I'm a fairly productive person so I'm not worried about getting things done, and I have worked on the edges of the market the idea is meant for so I know where to start looking for some of the info needed to move forward, but I will look into the "Wishcraft" book as well because it too sounds interesting.

An overview is positively needed and that is something I can do now and roughing out a design doc will be easier with that sketched out.

I wish I could say the idea is fun and exciting, but it's not even close to that. It's more akin to a wheel barrow than a go-cart, but there's a lot more wheel barrow being sold and someone has to make them.
Old device user here. The frequency of exploits is going up, so older devices with few features and small attack surface are safer than new devices with the bells and whistles and a bigger attack surface. Basically, fuck you to the assholes pushing updates. They are doing it wrong and I reject them. I will accept no update with antifeatures, no matter how much they say it is good for me.
Yeah, I understand that Chinese investment in Australian real estate is significant - I'm questioning whether or not it is the most significant factor driving the real estate boom. I've always assumed cheap credit and tax incentives for locals were the most significant factors.
They have no incentives to do so. I would like Samsung to make it into a business. Have folks pay 5 dollars per year if they want to get ongoing security updates for older devices. I would pay in an instant.
So in your mind, personal and social equality are equated two things, Communism and Feminism?

>The obvious thing to say is to just get a Nexus/Pixel device and enjoy your updates

> if the company tries, they'll be treated as NSOs for tax reasons, which defeats the whole point.

How does that defeat the whole point? The entire point of ISOs is that you can exercise without being taxed immediately. After leaving a company, I would much rather have NSOs that I can hold onto, unexercised, until after a liquidity event when the alternative is having nothing.

(I mean, really, though, overall the need for ISOs is ridiculous: the US is insane for taxing unrealized gains in the first place.)
>Video games are simply abstracted skinner boxes to begin with; loot boxes with their carefully tuned Vegas-esque lights, sounds, and reward percentages just amp up the "push a button, maybe get a reward" to the Nth degree.

My dad, who was a gamer in his youth, always described gaming as getting addicted to "flashing light boxes".

It was only once I was old enough to go to a bookie's and watch someone feed £20 after £20 into a fruit machine that I saw what he meant.
The chicken littles claiming this problem exists in the first place are publicly scared they are next. This they admit outright. I'd wager that people making these claims probably _do_ have this as a risk, for good reason.
Isn't it telling that the antifeatures pushed by the updates are so much worse than the threat of data interception?
My understanding about the US side of this is that the software defined radios and FCC compliance are a major portion of the problem.

STILL, that stuff should be equivalent to a firmware blob that should have been baked in to a ROM or EEPROM. The actual driver controlling it should be able to be open, and for regulatory compliance should use 'magic numbers' as specified for the configuration; which as a fact of how to use that device must be configured already /not/ be covered by copyright (in the US at least).
It's fairly uncommon that your options will be under water when they vest, even in a startup that eventually fails. The more common -- and more crappy scenario should this law pass -- is getting taxed on a paper gain, and then later the price drops below the tax basis due to a down-round or something else bad.
I'll explain it this way: Both the feminists and the communists espouse equality as a tool to get what they're really after - power.
It's not, it actually proves the point extremely well. The USSR's industrial base was built by foreign industrial firms, including from Germany and the US. The USSR then proceeded to nationalize most of it (see: the German Junkers aviation company; German manganese mining + US industrialist W. Averill Harriman; British and US gold mining firms in the 1920s; and dozens more, all victims of bait & switch Russian nationalizations). The Soviets would have foreign industrialists build what they could not, usually after running an industry into the ground, and then they would turn around and nationalize it back.

Or consider the largest hydro dam in the world at the time, built at Dnieprostroi by Americans (designed by Hugh Cooper). The turbines were supplied by America as well. That single dam increased Soviet power production five fold. The Soviets crowed about that achievement, and they had nothing to do with it.

Steel plants, tractor plants, the list goes on and on, built by American industrialists. Then either nationalized or otherwise proclaimed to be the great product of Soviet industrialization.

They did that frequently between 1914 and the 1930s. The Soviets also never repaid the US lend-lease transfers, which would be worth several hundred billion dollars today.

To make things even worse, during the 1920s, the US and Western European powers subsidized the USSR with vast food aid, as they starved their people and exported their grain production to countries such as Germany (so while the US and others were supplying aid, they were simultaneously profiting by selling their domestic crops into other markets). During that time millions of Russians starved to death.

The USSR was not even remotely close to the industrial scale of the US in 1940. The US had economic output greater than Germany + the UK + France + the USSR by 1940.

This is a good article on it from 1988:

It's 3 years now with the Pixel. The Google branded devices have always received timely updates. That's the only point I was trying to make. I'm not saying this is ideal, just pointing it out.

Also unless you get the Verizon version it's going to be unlocked so you can load whatever you want on it.
i think that to many this is almost comically reductive, if not an outright red herring. (not that 'the feminists' is a super useful term.)
My employer has issued _all_ option grants as NQSOs (with "normal" 4 year vesting, but also with 90 day exercise or forfeiture, with FMV clawback right, with rather tepid spread between preferred and common after seed). I'll be charitable and suppose the big old law firm wrote this out of startup inexperience and a very strong dose of CYA. Any suggestions on what to do about this?
It's android, it's entire reason for existence is to be a malware platform.
RSUs are a little different: they're currently taxed on delivery, not vest. When you work for a public company, vest and delivery dates are nearly always the same, so it seems like they're being taxed at vest time.
Security isn't as big of an issue with many of these devices as you might think. Unless it is years out of date, Play Services still gets updates, the system web view still gets updated, Chrome still gets updates, and in many cases the vendor will still roll out an emergency patch if there is something serious.
A potential AMT repeal is orthogonal to this change.
It is 3 years now with the new pixel.

Exactly, my phone is marooned on Android 6.x, and I really can't say that I care about this at all. I'll replace it after it is a few years old with something newer and similarly inexpensive.
