Not at all. There are two HTTP requests: one from your client to your rendering server and one from your rendering server to your app.

That's two different places that logic must be deployed to and tested against. It's irrelevant that it's the same render code.
No, it doesn't.

The submitter changed the title. All this is is an opt-in SMS blaster to notify users when there are reports of fentanyl ODs that have already happened in the area. The app does nothing to analyze any specific sample, let alone track seller trends.

It also has an autoplay video.
Just because people think and act like something has value doesn’t mean it does. The only things that have value are what the government, financial institutions, university professors, and HN commenters tell you
Even if it is all just the Republicans (which it’s not), that doesn’t mean we can’t criticize the two party system
I’m sad you have been downvoted so badly. Whilst I disagree largely, these criticisms are valid.
Chromium is
The campaign finance laws won't change until the GOP loses control of the congress and presidency and/or the balance on the Supreme Court shifts (which is why stealing Garland's seat was a top priority despite all of Grassley et al.'s long history of sanctimonious pronouncements about the proud traditions of the Senate and blah blah; Gorsuch is even to the right of Scalia on all of these topics). There has been a decades-long effort on the right to shift power to moneyed corporate interests and away from the public (defanging regulators, opposing anti-trust action and promoting corporate consolidation across many industries, supporting binding arbitration, allowing unlimited anonymous political spending, privatizing public institutions and selling public assets, encouraging various kinds of tax dodges, taking the corporate side when ambiguous fine print in contracts borders on outright fraud, ...), tracking soaring levels of wealth/power inequality, and the party is all-in on it from top to bottom.

Your general point of: information requirements are a relatively superior way to do consumer protection regulations: is certainly true enough.

Maybe this is just the result of lobbying, but people frequently fail to compare the ex ante case with the proposed legislation; they just buy the [putatively] pro-consumer excitement of the proposed legislation hook, line, and sinker.

It looks as though this was a proposal that has now been scrapped.

So we've been living, till now, in a world not governed by this proposal.

In that world, have you ever been shocked at a bag fee? I haven't. I either expect no fee (at United, where I have status), or expect one (everywhere else).

And what about the bag fees that airline passengers paid from 1903 to 2010, when they were totally legal with no disclosure obligations, and assessed even against people bringing no bags at all on the plane? Were those high ticket prices fair to the innocent people traveling light?

Estimating 2010 as the year when most airlines starting charging.
No dress code is now a perk? Yikes.
I automatically assumed it had something to do with Spotify. Maybe an adblocker?
In my case it gets country and city but misses completely the ZIP and area, as did all similar services tried so far. If someone threw a non nuclear missile to those coordinates I would probably just hear a distant bang.

I'm curious to know if other people noticed the same level of accuracy.
I get the whole hole-in-the-middle functional dependency injection idea... The problem I frequently run into with this class of things is that people preach an unreasonable purity of thought with regard to the application of the technique, rather than just recognizing places it is useful and applying it there. Either one curries nothing, or one curries all the things. Monads are the fundamental fabric of the universe, or they are eldritch monoliths to worship, but not understand. Rarely is there the pragmatism applied to use these concepts where they make sense, and forego them for the simple where they do not.
Did Shazam do any product innovation for a while now? They may not have many developers left, just running what they have?
Like is this a service for low key creators too, or only very flamboyant ones?
Completely agree with you here. I also want to reinforce your conclusion.

I used to think the two party system was flawed because it is so hard to get anything done. I see now that is a feature and under the current administration we are lucky to be in such a slow moving system.

The solution here truly is in campaign finance and other forms of voting reform such as addressing gerrymandering. If we put the people back in charge of the government I think everything else will fall into place.
Its also great at validating data!

We're running some of our specs in production to enforce guarantees on data coming in and out of the app :)
That’s the point. The entropy cost thermodynamically inherent to doing a calculation is infintesimal compared to the energy cost of current transistors.

From Wikipedia:

> At 20 °C (room temperature, or 293.15 K), the Landauer limit represents an energy of approximately 0.0172 eV, or 2.75 zJ. Theoretically, room‑temperature computer memory operating at the Landauer limit could be changed at a rate of one billion bits per second with energy being converted to heat in the memory media at the rate of only 2.85 trillionths of a watt (that is, at a rate of only 2.85 pJ/s). Modern computers use millions of times as much energy.

Siri can already recognize a song, and apparently this uses licensed Shazam technology. But I never want to use that, and instead use Shazam, because I don't want to talk to my phone in public.

I'm afraid Apple will kill the app and just want me to use Siri.

The capitalist and the worker are not peers, there is an inherent power imbalance. It's not a free contract if you can't say no.

If the worker doesn't work, she will starve. If the capitalist can't find workers, he won't starve, he can always use the money for himself.
This seems incorrect. Isn't a node a process on the network that is mining blocks? It does not seem as if a process that simply reads blocks but does not add any hashrate is participating in the network as I understand it.
I'm definitely going to check your book out, but in the mean time I was wondering if you could help me zort something out from this article. Author states:

Check these quantum states out as examples, which cannot be broken into a tensor product of two other states, they are unseparable -

Ex.1: 1/sqrt(2)∣00⟩ + 1/sqrt(2)∣11⟩ !=∣ψ1​⟩⊗∣ψ2​⟩

Ex.2: 1/sqrt(2)∣01⟩ − 1/sqrt(2)∣10⟩ !=∣ψ1​⟩⊗∣ψ2​⟩

So, in all previous 2 qubit examples he showed yielded 4 states (00, 01, 10, 11). Is the author saying that some two-qubit systems can be achieved such that not all 4 possible discrete states can participate in superposition? (i.e. in the system of ex. 1, states 10 and 01 are not possible and in ex. 2, states 00 and 11 are not possible?)
> Some regulations ARE burdensome and cause problems, possibly more harm than benefit.

Correct, but some people subscribe to the view that any and all regulation is bad
It's a proposal i.e. has not been implemented yet
This is a really good video. Here is a simple timeline of what it is all about, so people can jump to what they would find interesting:

23:43 "It really is incredible that we can go close to one order of magnitude" (to C)

26:00 Lisp code is faster than optimized C (quantum) programs when running on the QVM. For non trivial benchmarks (...) {Lisp faster} on an average of 40% percent.

30:00 quick explanation of quantum machine code

33:06 What is the team dynamics of using Lisp? "Condescencion: Lisp's number one enemy" (fun part)

"Some time between 2 and 6 decades ago, Lisp invented approximately all of the popular things in programming, some of which are just starting to make an appearance [long list of features follow]"

Really fun part follows.

35:41 things Lisp programmers tell the other programming teams

36:40 Interesting, beautiful comparison of using Lisp versus doing calligraphy with calligraphy pens.

41:21 Presenting internship program at Rigetti. Stressing the importance of first having a SBCL, Emacs, Slime, Paredit, and Quicklisp, before thinking how writing productive Lisp looks like.

43:33 Comments of interns after the internship, favorable to Lisp, as well as unfavorable comment. (Fun part here)

51:00 Explanation of what quantum computing is all about
innumerable people start showing up

People can't start showing up because they need invitations to join your channel. If you don't want a radical group there, don't invite them. It's that simple.
Well, in that case, they are of little more value than the equally contrived OOP examples we grew up with, with a base Fruit class, and Banana and Apple subclasses.

Stupid examples are in many cases worse than no examples at all.
Seems for them the cost (financially and in terms of overhead) of building that team vs. buying a very experienced one was not worth it. They almost have ~$300 billion just sitting around.
I wish more comments were like this. Clear, concise, “I like $foo, here’s why in a few words”.
The most interesting conspiracy in my opinion is that it was created by the US government, to help people in third world countries fight financial censorship.

Tor, for example, was created by the US government to help fight censorship in dictorial countries as well.
> If that is not enough data, I doubt any amount of data is.

I wonder if that same logic holds in medical trials, which are a far more simplistic and controlled study.

jdoliner, any remarks now?
What an awful limitation. I may not want a burger next week.
It's not insane for Amazon and Google to sell what people are willing to pay for. I just find it insane that so many people are willing to pay for the privilege of being even more tied into a retailer and probably giving up a fair bit of privacy at the same time. Most people seem to put zero value on that, whereas I would want to be compensated for it. But hey, no accounting for other people's preferences.

‘Shared Space’ Design: Road Signs Suck. What If We Got Rid of Them All?
Form a distributed team, package the orders one at a time saying shamanic ML chants over them while burning incense, ship to happy customers. Write bloviating blog posts about 'AI' that incorrectly reduces an entire field to a de jure technique. Grow business, cash out after first enterprise capture. Rinse. Repeat.
Clojure is the best option for me, on my own projects, because I like it and I'm more productive in it (this applies to Lisp in general, I suppose) than any other language I've tried. And when I'm working alone, that's all that matters :D

Now, when I'm working on a team... I must tell you I live in Florida and if I've ever met another Clojure/Lisp programmer in meatspace I'm not aware of it (and I'd be surprised). In fact, most of the Java developers I work with only really know Java (and some are helpless without Eclipse). So recommending anything that isn't Java probably wouldn't be wise. So, yea.
ugh .. Shopify ..that just makes me think of their terrible terrible liquid templates.

The point of heuristics is not that they apply 100% of the time, but that they're correct more often than they're not.
I'm curious how the author thinks of marketing vs sales. And is sales as important in companies where the product is cheaper, like a $10-$20/month subscription, or is marketing more important in that scenario.
Insurance is a red herring. The true problem are the runaway costs. Costs which are protected by government regulations. So we do need a government intervention of sorts, but the correct answer is to reduce regulations and cost protections--not just make taxpayers fund the entire mess.

ok thank you for the clarification

I think it's clear now you weren't "trolling". Your original response seemed to me so against the tide here that I thought you might be intentionally antagonizing. My apologies.
I think the issue he's talking about is more along the lines of "hey we promised X _and_ that we could deliver it in Y" when Y is an unreasonable amount of time. Situations like that almost always lead to death marches in my experience.
Why You Should Surround Yourself with More Books Than You'll Have Time to Read
This is a wonderful comment, but I fear you still might be underestimating the problem. Even if you replaced the two-party system with any other number of parties, you'd still never have a party dedicated to each issue. Voters will always be choosing a candidate who supports the majority of their views, and small issues such as this one will almost never be the deciding factor between the available candidates.

Making it worse, these issue-specific lobbyists don't really care which individual (or party) wins the election, just that the votes on the few bills that their funders care about go in their desired direction. So they can simply make it known after the election that anyone who votes in their preferred direction can expect to receive a "donation" funding their reelection campaign.

But helping the candidate get reelected isn't the only way that lobbyists can help a candidate. Instead, they could donate to the candidate's nonprofit family foundation, give the candidate's family members well paying board seats, wait until their retirement and overpay the candidate for lectures. Once word gets out that candidates who vote in a particular direction are given future preference of any sort, the lobbyists are pretty assured of getting what they want regardless of what the campaign finance laws say.

Short of finding some hidden trove of non-corruptible and non-self-interested politicians, I don't think there are any easy fixes for this. Unless you can find a way that "representatives" are unable to derive personal benefit from their votes and are compelled to put their constituents interests above their own, the system will be vulnerable to being swayed those able to offer that benefit.
What about just forwarding the var_args variable?
>>Many were newbies in the language, and some were newbies to programming.

Then you will never be employed, because that describes virtually every software project at a for-profit company.

How often does this happen? If it's not life threatening, why can't it wait until dawn?

To be fair, even Satoshi apparently didn't understand the applications of blockchain beyond currency.
A brief perusal, and that seems incredibly broad.
Something I've been watching that might interest you is Mycroft (https://mycroft.ai/). It's free software and open hardware version of the echo, etc.
Well, knowledge of preferences is information. But also, some people know or at least understand things better than others. Those people (all else equal) are better entrepreneurs or investors.
This is a hotly debated point.

I don't think there are any Satoshi quotes that definitely prove what he intended.

But there are some quotes of him talking about data centers and the like.

The miners vs nodes vs blocksize/scaling debate just wasn't a thing that anyone was thinking about back then.
Ah yes, the terrifying privacy implications of Alexa. Now Google and Amazon know I check the weather every morning.

Is bitcoin in it's infancy?

You have CBOE offering futures on it. The prez of JPMC pro bitcoin. You have so many exchanges.

This ain't the era of mtgox, $10m pizzas and running your own full bitcoin node and joining a mining pool.

Bitcoin is out of it's infancy.

It's naive to think that a company that has been operating for decades only has capability that is implementable in a weekend. Surely there are plenty of edge cases with certain songs/genres and how they mix with various environmental noises. That in addition to already having the system scaled, and having a team of people who are intimately familiar with maintaining that system.

Then there's also the userbase. Even if you successfully clone the app, most Shazam users won't even know it exists.
Just mentioned this above, but you should check out https://mycroft.ai/. It is a totally open source AI/assistant system.
Haha. That's golden.
This form of proof of work, SHA-256, has a scramble shuffle of XORs that quantum computers aren't applicable to.
It truly is a wonderful paper. Lots of information in it.
You don't need that much background knowledge to understand it, but it can take a few reads to wrap your mind around it.

I would suggest also taking a look at the annotated version of the whitepaper on Fermat's Library:

- https://fermatslibrary.com/s/bitcoin

I wrote some of the annotations and tried as much as possible to make it so that this annotated version would provide a motivated reader with all the resources needed to truly understand the bitcoin protocol.

Michael Nielsen's blogpost about Bitcoin (http://www.michaelnielsen.org/ddi/how-the-bitcoin-protocol-a...) is also a great read.
A node is just a computer that has the whole blockchain.

A standard node will almost never produce a single new block.

For that, you need custom asic or luck.

I doubt that shopping is on the top 5 uses. It’s not really compelling given there are so many variations of product color, size, etc.

You can disable the voice assistant on a cell phone and many phones come with it disabled by default. It is up to you to have it on.

You'd have to pass around a va_list everywhere and parse it at the call site. This adds overhead that you probably don't want to deal with, especially since objc_msgSend is probably the hottest code path in any Objective-C program.
Chrome needs at least some kind of a fragment of competition to keep them from stagnating. Lord knows neither of the other two (Safari and Edge) are even close enough to threaten.
A single person wasn't behind it - you can look at David Chaum et al's. 1988 "Untraceable Electronic Cash" paper, Cynthia Dwork and Moni Naor's 1992 paper on proof-of-work, Nick Szabo's bit gold and Wei Dai's B-money from 1998, etc. for work that led up to bitcoin. There is one big innovation in the paper, and that is that proof-of-work on a Merkle tree can be used to solve the double-spending problem. Proof-of-work wasn't new. Merkle trees weren't new (1979). Awareness of the double-spending problem wasn't new (Hal Finney wrote an article on it in 1993, but I doubt that was the first time anyone thought of it). Combining all three is certainly clever and innovative, but it's just one innovation, not years of directed work by a government-funded team.
Thanks for the link. I thought these things involved a lot of markov models and gaussian functions but this is mostly just some pretty slick engineering. The 1000x search speed seems very good.

Bitcoin is far from infancy.

The futures are a nice touch, but they are cash settled so they will drift from spot.

We still do not have a spot market with swaps from companies you can trust.

Due to this, negative exposure is still difficult to replicate, hence why some brokers will not offer short side on the futures.
Browser eligibility in CA/B Forum in general (and Comodo specifically)
Little bit vague but here goes:

technology: Loopback (based off of ExpressJS, which is based off of NodeJS, which is based off of Javascript, wew....)

by organised, if you mean dir structure then the top levels are /helper-scripts (bash), /models (resource type property JSONs and JS scripts for RPCs), /server (entrypoint points, middleware, etc.), and a few misc files.

if by organised you mean source control, then it's bundled with the same repo as my uis, lb, etc. one repo => one app is a golden rule.

what other meanings of "organised" could you mean? Design methods maybe?
OP mentioned that they use the number of customers using Shazam as a metric. Maybe once they decide to use a song in their playlist they (somehow) make sure that it's in the database.
They also know the argument between you and your partner, the private secret a friend asked you to share with no one, when you're not going to be home, etc. etc.
I suppose there is a depressing number of people that don't change shitty browser defaults to the better option.

It's staggering to me how that is a thing, but I routinely see people stung by the same malware attacks over and over, and they don't realize that streaming TV on sketchy sites and watching weird porn on an unsecured browser is like licking a gangrenous wound.
It's one logical leap based on well known crypto, algorithms, and cypherpunk literature. Honestly that has more of the hallmarks of a single actor than a state to me. But it's all idle speculation anyway :)
The comment is a duplicate of one of the only 2 comments on the original submission to HN 8 years ago.

Do you have a non trivial example of #1 in React Native that works the same in Android and IOS that doesn't have a 50+ person development team? Just curious about the state of the art, Android was way behind IOS last time I looked.
To be honest, it's probably both. The runtime gurus at Apple do a great job hand-optimizing objc_msgSend for each platform since it's such an important factor in the overall speed of an Objective-C program.
Is the app any better than just loading their webpage in the browser? There are precious few of those custom apps that offer any value over just loading the website in the built-in browser.
