And yet, the article has this:

> Dodd also mentions that “one of the great traditions [in the composing room] was banging people out.” This was the long-established send-off for retiring printers and involved everyone grabbing the nearest piece of metal and banging the stone ( itself in fact made of metal) rhythmically for five to 10 minutes. This symbolic ceremony also took place for the coffin, to bid farewell to lead-setting.

> Dodd and Postance talk about the camaraderie within the composing room. While Dodd says that “being on the stone was often a battle,” Postance says that he enjoyed the close contact with journalists: “you were talking to them across the stone on a sort of one-to-one basis […] you knew the people who wrote the yarns and you could relate to them.” Dodd remembers that the whole of editorial came down to observe the funeral on 11 May; “there were grown men crying” he says.

I would argue that the way the news is produced has and does change the nature of news reporting. I’ve seen it at the company I work for now. The old-timers talk about the fact that it was always a high pressure environment, it it’s a great deal more unpleasant to work in these days, and that has changed how news is reported.

If you are going to quote me, how about quoting the full paragraph? I’m curious though, did you not read the whole article?

Scaling is definitely a serious concern and is a large focus of Ethereum developers at the moment. I don't understand much about the proposed solutions, but they generally think the Ethereum network can be sharded in a way that allows only a small subset of the network to run any given contract and still guarantee reliability similar to as if the whole network had run it.

Yup. Shilling my own work here, https://kryogenix.org/code/the-ux-of-text-fusion/ is a talk which explicitly calls that out -- we can do better than this, and whoever works out how to deliver chat interfaces where you can't imagine the underlying nodejs commands will have people love their stuff. (And the answer certainly isn't "pretend to be a human", either, as you know; be a bot, be known to be a bot, and have people relate to you anyway. But now I'm just reiterating the talk.)

I will stand corrected if I can find the sliding scale with accurate data fulling explaining the formula.

But what I saw myself years ago at school, and currently hear anecdotally, is that most subsidies - from the feds, states, the university, scholarships and grants, etc. - seem to be distributed in a rapidly diminishing fashion instead of linearly (subsidies vs income).

In other words, the most poor (or certain minority groups), will get nearly a full ride. The truly wealthy at the other end will get very little, of course. But those in the middle get far less than would be expected if the subsidies were linearly scaled. And so once you earn just a bit more than the most disenfranchised, you don't get much, and instead get saddled with loans.
This is especially true if you are familiar with the RAII principle in C++.
In addition to the middle-click refresh and context menu entry that others have mentioned: you can hold down Ctrl and drag the new duplicate tab anywhere.
Note that I had to try twice for this to "work" - maybe try again. Incredible.

EDIT: apparently, the first login attempt with root enables root login with whatever password is provided. Then, when you try again, login will work.

If that's true, we have a combined diagnostic and workaround:

Try logging in with root and a good password. It should not work (if it does, root with that password had been enabled before).

Now, try logging in again with root and that same password.

If it works, your system was vulnerable to that bug, but you've now fixed the problem, as you've enabled root and set a good password (so nobody else can log in unless they find that password).

If it doesn't work, it looks like root has been set up before with some other password (maybe empty), and it's conceivable that someone has exploited that bug on your machine before.

Is that understanding correct?

If you use local addresses (or names that map to local addresses) and your data is going over the VPN then you have a routing problem that is not OpenVPN's (or any other VPN's) fault. If you set the VPN as the default gateway it should only end up being the default for non-local addresses.

Either that or the names are not getting mapped to local addresses as you expect, so the second possibility is a name resolution problem. If you have a split-DNS setup this could be because DNS requests are getting sent out through the VPN your the DNS servers are seeing you as external and giving out public addresses instead of local ones.

There are TWO patent pools for HEVC, MPEG LA and HEVC Advance, plus patent holders that are part of neither and you have to negotiate on your own.

Even if you are patent holder, you still have to pay and then you will receive back your share. It doesn't mean it is free for you.

On the content producer side, while MPEG LA waives fees there, HEVC Advance does not. If you are not fta broadcast/cable/sat tv provider or free-to-user streaming provider, you are going to cash up per title or subscriber/month.

So in competition, I meant yours. If you are providing a non-free video content, and you insist on HEVC, it is going to cost you. Your competition with VP9 or AV1 won't have this cost.

I can pretty much imagine, that those using devices without VP9/AV1 support will be relegated either to software decoding, or will have to pay premium for their hw accelerated stream.

I appreciate your feedback.

The paper I referenced by Josef Urban et al. is representative of the state-of-the-art. That said, this is a first draft and I will make a lot of changes. Adding more references on ATP being one of them.

If you have any other thoughts/comments, I'd be very interested in hearing them.
Some years ago, I was hearing about people switching from PCs to Macs all the time. Later, not so much, but macOS was still getting praise. Maybe Apple looked at the conversion numbers at that time and decided that the cost of keeping up the quality of macOS wasn’t worth the few PC converts they were still getting, and they figured that not enough people would switch back to PCs since the iOS system lock-in effects, etc. would present enough of a barrier.

So it’s not that there aren’t still people who could conceivably switch to Macs, it’s that Apple decided they didn’t need more converts quite as badly anymore.

Still, only my theory of course.
But then if one candidate is an asshole, they ruin it for everyone...

I really hope that's not true and this is just some extended blip.

That said, between this, the disk encryption bug, not being able to type "I" on an iphone you have to wonder what is going on. I recently upgrade my MacBook Pro to High Sierra and it's been plagued with problems (Weird red flash when displaying menus, hangs/crashes with external monitors etc.)

Then I look at switching away, and I lose all the OSX software I own, all the easy iOS integration, all those Pages documents etc.

Exchanges are not market makers. They don't have to be able to allow everyone to "cash out", they are not banks.

Exchanges provide a venue for buy-sell to meet. If someone wants to "cash out", someone has to want to "cash in". Lately every time the price dropped folks saw it as the time to buy more, or just "finally buy bitcoin, because it'll go up soon".

A big crash happens when the equilibrium shifts drastically, when more people wants to get out than get in, it'll crush the price (because more people wanting to get out will lead to even more people wanting to get out).
It's the actual RoadMap and place to provide feedback.

> not improving macOS won’t make anyone upset enough to switch back

I’m not so sure about this — although it may be due more to the hardware side of their business: after the recent, disappointing iteration of their MacBook Pros I’ve heard a lot of people considering to switch (and actually switching).

Taken together with software quality issues, I wouldn’t be surprised if at least a subgroup of users are leaving Apple gradually. That subgroup being professional users, of course: Apple is still unassailed as a status symbol, and casual (+ mobile) users seem more than happy.

> Any culture that isn't similar your culture is by definition inferior when held to your cultural standards, so there is no reason to do so.

Ok, so, suppose we met a culture that thought it was a good thing to burn children alive as sacrifices to Moloch. Would you say, "Hey let them do their thing, all cultural practices are equally valid", or would you say "I'm going to try to prevent this from happening, even though my belief that the practice is wrong is due to my particular cultural upbringing"?

I'm assuming the second one. So doesn't that constitute an act of holding another culture to your own cultural standards? And here, the point is to save lives.

Again, to reiterate, just because different cultures value different things, and the question of which value system is "correct" is not really coherent, does not prevent me from condemning practices from within my own cultural framework, and having good reasons to do so.

It's not "good" versus "bad" engineer/coworker. It's a different way of functioning.

Some people (I'd guess introverts, although I'm not sure) need to internalize to think and can't interact much at this point. Some can think and discuss at the same time.

From these two sets of people, some can afterward verbally explain the reasoning and the solution, some can't.
Some may also only require a context warm-up.

That makes 4 sets of people already.

Firefox 52 ESR would probably be the safer alternative. It will receive security updates until June 26, 2018. And I honestly just can't imagine Waterfox or other forks trying to keep XUL compatibility to stay secure long after that, as XUL extensions used to be a major maintenance burden for Mozilla and these forks have only a fraction of the size of Mozilla.
That probably takes some major doublethink: convincing yourself that a bricked machine is less broken than a vulnerable one.

"But as a HN reader I would expect you to understand" ...

HN readers tend to have a high level of technical ability, and are very intelligent - but generally have a very limited understanding of finance and economics. Combined with some hubris, this makes for problems.

BTC is the intersection of this: super cool tech promulgated mostly by people who have not clue what a 'currency' is, and of course, the hustlers who do know but don't care.

BTC is a very neat idea, that won't work for anything, and ultimately, it's turned into a hustle.

I hope BTC fails because it's a massively stupid waste of time.

It's 'making people money' about as much as any other Ponzi scheme.

There are other fintech avenues to pursue that are better for everyone.
H264 was the same way early on, with several chips doing baseline or main profile, but not high. It's why I said (at the time) that H264 HW support wasn't important... being able to do Bluray profile (a specific variant of high profile) was what was actually important.

Now with H265, Bluray 4k profile is important, ergo 10 bit support is mandatory, as well as display output itself being able to handle signalling for Rec2020 HDR10 over HDMI 2.x (or equivalent DP).

Exactly. Often the shipping weight will be measured as it is shipped (likely because most of these are coming by air). Alibaba and others pass this shipping information on to the customer and would likely notice overly low shipping weights.

Fraudulent sellers will also use a similar method in certain countries where the delivery address is not tracked but weight and delivery status are. They can send a nonsense package to the right country/state, have it appear in China post tracking as delivered, but the fake package was actually went to a random address with a roughly expected weight. If customers try to file claims on sites like aliexpress they'll likely rule in the favor of the seller unless you can somehow get your local post office to provide proof it was never delivered to your specific address.
The anonymity of Jane Austen was not remotely similar to Satoshi. Plenty of people knew her identity. According to Wikipedia she was contacted directly by the king's librarian. Also that was in the 1700s! In Satoshi's case, it's possible that no person on Earth has ever known his true identity other than himself.

But that's all beside the point. You misunderstand my claim. I'm not claiming that it's unlikely for Satoshi to want to remain anonymous. What's unlikely is for a successful person to not talk to anyone, not a single other person in the world (as far as we know), about their success. Even people who value their privacy and anonymity very highly typically still want to communicate with other people somehow. Satoshi clearly had good communication skills, and knew how to communicate while remaining anonymous, so if you want to argue that he was some kind of loner recluse who rejected communication with other humans you'll have a tough time convincing me of that.

It is not necessary, but if society was good at assigning a price to the relative merits of informational resources vs physical goods it would result in a more efficient economy.

Yes, science and art will progress, but if there is no economy attached, then they will be dominated by people who don't have to make a living. Unless we fund the whole thing publicly. That would work, but in other contexts we believe the market is more efficient.

Most servers have some sort of "lights out" management, which gives KVM + remote imaging and bios control.

With amazon, they have complete control over the network in and out, so cutting you off and re-imaging a server is pretty trivial.

To be fair, its not that hard to do even if you're not amazon.

Most of the big server vendor's out of band interfaces have an API, so telling a server to reboot from a network image is pretty trivial. Providing a netboot infrastructure to install images with a 'userdata' script is also not that difficult.

you'll need a DHCP server, tftp to serve the boot image, and usuaally an NFS server to pull the rest of the image over. With some engineering work that could be made to use HTTP.

Actually, I am saying that there are some universal morals which AI will also come to understand. They may not be your morals, but I think they are compatible with mine.

The morals we have work; that's why humans developed them. They seem to essentially amount to giving a little leeway to allow cooperation, even if it allows yourself to be taken advantage of, avoiding a constant race to win and giving up some personal gain for the benefit of the group.

It's mostly long-term game theory - and AI will be subject to the same laws of math, physics and group dynamics. If they don't try to get along, they'll reach an equilibrium of constant war. Those groups of AI who develop morals will avoid that and surpass the other groups.
