Is that a "Canticle for Liebowitz" reference? It should be "Pound pastrami, can kraut, six bagels—bring home for Emma."

That's a terrible thing to do for the environment, 3bln people can ruin it just as easily as 7bln (maybe a little bit slower).

But having less people, especially in rich parts of the world, means they won't be able to develop technology to control the climate and, travel to other planets, and do all the other awesome things people do.

Besides whats the point of saving the environment if there are no people to enjoy it.

Yea, I'm pretty sure most of it is named after Netflix's Chaos Monkey, and a ton of the resources seem to be directly from them.
Just out of curiosity, why is this post down-voted so heavily?
I've not been able to confidently follow what the parent wrote, but if they're discussing diverse double compiling, the way it works is that you compile the same source code (S) with a bunch of different compilers (C0...CN). This gives you a bunch of executables (E0...EN) which are the compilation of S. Because C0...CN are different compilers, E0...EN will probably differ, bitwise. But because behavior should depend only on the source code, if those compilers are sufficiently correct E0...EN should behave the same. So if you compile S with E0...EN to get (say) E0'...EN', those should all be bitwise identical.

So the TLDR; is that Apple allows a trusted device (your iPhone) and PIN/passcode to be the identification required to reset a lost iCloud password.

I honestly think this is a reasonable security model, as every other 'forgot password' workflow that I see services use is already vulnerable to my phone and passcode being in the wrong hands.

Think about the common options here. Apple could send out a rest link via email, but bad guy already has my email. They could send a verification code via SMS - oh wait, this is MY PHONE we're talking about. How about they send a push notification to... nevermind.

About 3 seconds worth of thought brings one to the conclusion that with my phone and pin/passcode, a bad actor could reset the passwords for pretty much every service I use - it's not just iCloud.

So someone explain to me in non hand-wavy terms how you'd expect this to be any different/better?
That link is about privacy, not security, and horribly misunderstands some fundamental basics. Like that you can disable google applications just fine. Sure you have to trust the OS to actually disable like it says it will, but you also have to trust that iOS does what Apple says it does, too. But you don't have to trust anything Google on that phone.

I think the phone is silly for other reasons, but that link is nonsense and largely unrelated to the discussion at hand.
Why can't people google things anymore?

Thanks for the recommendation of Timescale :)

Here are some more details on our future plans for clustering. We do have horizontal scale-out clustering on our roadmap and it's hard to say exactly when it will be released, but we are aiming for the 2nd half of 2018.

That said, we do often find that there multiple reasons why people ask about "clustering" or say they need scale-out:

A. Because you want to scale the amount of available storage - (we allow you to elastically add disks to scale-up the capacity on a single hypertable, have had customers scale a single hypertable to 500B rows)

B. Because you want high availability - (we support this today, via PostgreSQL streaming replication and will be documenting this further)

C. Because you want to support more concurrent queries -
(supported today across primary replicas)

D. Because you want to support high ingest rates - (depending on your use case, we have users doing 100-400k rows / second)

E. Because you want to parallelize individual queries (that touch a lot of data) - (some support for parallelization today, more to come)

So we do meet the needs of many today without support for full scale-out clustering (scaling vertically, as jurgenwerk points out). If your requirements are closer to millions of rows per second inserts and storing 100s of TBs / PBs of data, we can't yet support this, but working towards it!

What's the difference between donating half your paycheck to the company, and only being given half your paychecks?

> being mentally prepared to have guns pointed at you and your personal assets for violating an obscure regulation No. 389343A, or just attacked by employees, investors, partners for whatever reason they can come up with

VCs don't need to deal with the former. You don't get attacked in the case of the latter, you just get fired.

> being a face of a commercial entity and putting your reputation at stake. Most people on this planet don't see a difference between a billion dollar corporation and a penniless startup, and assume all companies are powerful and have unlimited funds. Hence, their key people are to be hated and mistrusted.

VCs make bad investments and founders make bad decisions all the time. The valley does not hold it against them for long.

> and, last but not least, being prepared to be woken up at any given minute to fix an issue of any nature

Here's where you're wrong - in a startup, engineers are the ones who get woken up at any given minute to fix an issue of any nature. Investors sure aren't.
I'll confirm the Garmin route as the way to go if you don't want to make a career out of getting the data off whatever Chinese bobble you found on AliExpress. You can get as fancy, or not, as you want. Plug into USB, drag-and-drop files somewhere and hackity hack. Or get all fancy and write wrapper code to prettify the data.

I don't think the watch ever needs to connect to anything in order to set it up, it can all be done on the watch (though Garmin Connect will make it easier). I do know that once it's set up, you can just turn the radio transmitters off and work through USB.
You can get a used Model S with 20k-40k miles on it with a 4 year 50k mile warranty for ~$55k straight from Tesla, no need to spend $100k.
If it's purely physical process then it can be simulated. If it is process then it has some state. You can save state.

Yes sir, right away sir.

Seriously though, Ventricular Assist Devices have been available for decades. I have worked with clients who make them. You can get one today if you have heart failure through your insurance company while you're waiting for a transplant.

When they say:
> The reasoning why nature should be used as a model is clear. Currently used blood pumps have many disadvantages: their mechanical parts are susceptible to complications while the patient lacks a physiological pulse, which is assumed to have some consequences for the patient.

In fact, it's not clear at all (always, always remember the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect). The first generations of VADs were pulsatile because they "assumed nature" should be a model and they had many problems in patients.

Then the next generation of continuous rotary pumps came out and are the only ones (in fact only 3 pumps today are used, HeartMate II, HeartMate III and HeartWare HVAD) that last for years. btw 180 days is the typical wait time for a transplant. Then artificial pulsatility was added to the rotary pumps, mostly out of an imaginary need for a pulse, but no one has been able to prove a pulse is necessary.

As this is a project by a materials research group, I'm confident this is a pilot project and their goal will be to improve the lifetime of the materials by X%. That means, it will be a long, long time before this style of pump is found in bodies. Notice they're not assessing thrombosis or hemolysis, etc.

If you sincerely want to reduce heart disease, focus on improving peoples' diets, exercise and stress/sleep. That will have the most effect. For many people, damage is self-inflicted and they ruin enough of their vasculature and organs that a replacement heart won't do any more than a new power supply on a dead motherboard.
Nothing wrong with a little technology push, we'll find out in due time if it's actually a good solution. What's 30k usd after all?

Explain how anyone would think that works. You can't get around the 4th amendment by directing someone else to violate it.
Certainly there was a difference back then in how male and female children were allowed to deal with emotion. I was viciously beaten as a child in the early sixties for crying - as were my brothers - to teach me not to. My sister wasn't until older, if at all. These beatings could go on for very long periods of time, until breathing became convulsive, and continued after that point, too. When my younger brother died in his teens, my "training" held and I wasn't able to cry (but I've got that back in spades, since.) This was only somewhat extreme for the time. So back then, was there a "feels" (repression) difference for men and women? Oh, yeah, by no accident.

However, I believe the evidence shows this actually leaves males more vulnerable to trauma and PTSD, not less. I don't have links for that, just memory of the science, but what you deal with during the day is perhaps less likely to keep you up at night.
But how else are you going to hype an ICO with claims about the size of a market and get people who don't understand how blockchains work to give your their BTC/ETH?
Perhaps because Nobel Economics Laureates are not equipped to deal with a means of exchange that cannot be inflated, cannot be controlled by central banks, and has equivalent utility to cash.
This is incorrect. Teslas have both a brake and an accelerator. Releasing the accelerator causes regenerative braking to kick in, but they still have a brake.

Ask HN: Best way to respond to “What is your name?”
Perhaps I'm just tilting at windmills, but does anyone else think that it's stupid/annoying/pandering/insincere/invasive for a business to want to put your name into their database when it is not necessary?

Why does Burger King ask for your name when you order a burger? AT THE DRIVE-THRU!?!? The same goes for Taco Bell. THE TACO DOES NOT NEED TO KNOW MY NAME! Your company doesn't need to know my name in order to give me a haircut. Harbor Freight, I don't need to give you my name (and phone#, and address) to buy a screwdriver, even though you ask me for them THREE TIMES during the same checkout. I don't care about your loyalty programs. I'll keep the receipt if I need to return it. The list goes on and on...

I don't want to be rude to the person behind the counter; they are just doing their job. But how do I express to the company how UTTERLY infuriating it is becoming to be constantly prodded.

The simple answer is to just not go to those places. Which means that now I have to cut my own hair, grow and cook my own food, build my own tools, and never buy anything ever again. Surely there is a better solution!

Odd. I recently switched iPhones and successfully restored from an iCloud backup.

YMMV, I guess.
>Number of neurons

Ha. That's not intelligence. Cats are superior.
And on the flip side, every time I add a new device to my Apple ID, iCloud flips out totally, detects "suspicious" activity, and locks my account (and requires me to both verify it with one or more devices and changing my password).

So: Inconvenience where there should be convenience, convenience where there should be inconvenience.

I was interested in Perl 6 and hopeful it would fix some of the Perl 5 community’s problems until I read this post.

Now I’m wondering if the remaining Perl 6 community is just a bunch of basically compulsively clever show-off blowhards that I would never want to work with. There were always some of them with Perl 5 too (along with plenty of let’s-get-stuff-done people who I do like) but the unpleasant ones seem to have firmly taken over now. And that’s not just looking at the spirit of this blog post... it’s looking at some of the language features that they decided to have.

I think it's great on the Raspberry Pi [0]. It boots quickly, has a low footprint and runs in diskless mode by default [1].

I most recently used Alpine and a RPi to make an appliance of sorts, that would wait for the SSID of my Olympus WiFi-enabled camera (it acts as an AP) to show up and then sync all new photos automatically [2].

To be clear about this, LLVM will sometimes do TCO. But Rust doesn't guarantee it. We have reserved a keyword to make this happen sometimes in the future, possibly.
To clarify, sorry too many people to reply to: I don't like surveillance. Stepping away from any tribal loyalty I might have to the five eyes I think you can qualitatively state that China is objectively a more totalitarian state hostile to the hacker ethos/freedom/pick your term for the terminal value most of us seem to agree on, which is what I was getting at with the great firewall. I am less worried about these less(least?) bad states collecting data then I am about the worse super-power doing so.

I'm not sure hysteria is the word you're looking for. Hyperbole, sure. But the notebooks feel great and the paper quality is excellent. It's worth noting that some pens perform really poorly on their paper, but gel pens + moleskine is just an extremely pleasant writing combination. Plus I'm pretty partial to the notebook size. It's not that they are the only company to do this, but it is just a consistently very nice experience without breaking the bank.
So the article is pretty consistently misleading/incorrect. A pointer is a data structure like any other, in fact Java is pass-by-value, the pointer values are copied when objects are being passed as function arguments.

Russian has 6 cases for nouns (and rudimentary 7th), together with plural this is already 12 forms a noun can take. Verbs change by tense, person, plurality and gender in the past singular. However there is also aspect and you probably want to know both perfect and imperfect verbs for the same action. Movement verbs have directionality on top of that. Adjective are changing together with the nouns and also have "brief" form. So yeah, you need to learn about a dozen forms for something which is one-two syllables in Mandarin. Of course, most of the forms are just semi-regular mutations of prefix and/or suffix but it doesn't help when you are trying to recognize them in speech.

American here. I don't think board games were even gone in the USA. For a while they had a relative lull in popularity, but all along there were decent games being made by good designers. Many of the best ones from the '70s and '80s are even being re-issued for a new audience.

I'm not even entirely sure that there's been all that much of an increase in the number of friends I have who like to play board games. What's really changed is that the mass market retailers have started carrying these games, and the Lifestyle section of the local newspaper is suddenly talking about them as if they just appeared from out of the mists.

Wait, you have a recovery code today?

I have an "RK-" recovery key in my backup from when I set it up a couple of years ago. However today I see no reference to recovery codes whatsoever, either on my account or during attempts to recover my password. I just now stripped two-factor auth entirely, and set it up again from scratch. There is absolutely no reference to a recovery key anywhere[1].

It must depend on which devices and/or OS versions one is running. I've got a 2013 MacBook Pro on High Sierra and an iPhone 6 on iOS 11 (latest software on both). I also have a confirmed phone number. I no longer have the option for a recovery code with two-factor auth[1].
