> On the opposite, the fact that criticism towards Israeli policies is much more pronounced and direct inside Israeli media than it is in the media of a completely independent country, is an obvious proof that the debate is artificially stifled.

But not support for the claims that the reason is Jewish actors in media rather than, say, a combination of a broad consensus on US geopolitical interests and widespread and deep bias against Arabs and Muslims in the US.

While criticism of Israel is muted in the US press, it isn't inversely correlated, AFAICT, with outlets that have Jewish investors, Jewish editors, or even with the particular piece being written by a Jewish journalist/columnist.

In this case, it looks like the goal was to demonstrate the power of quantum computers rather than to use them in order gain a new insight into the physics of the otherwise well-known phenomenon (the so-called "Anderson localization", which is a "quantum-mechanical part" of the effect that impurities have on the conductivity of a metal).

Speaking of the "non-goal", I am left wondering how much information is there to be gained from looking this closely (albeit by means of simulation) at things that have been or, if not, perhaps could be described well enough following the more traditional lines of statistical or phenomenological investigation.
Insane. I'm definitely not a tough on crime kind of person, but these are people who are unfit to live in society. There should be no rehabilitation for these people. I hate to say it, but lock them up and throw away the key.
Assuming they started right away, that's one prosecution every 23 days or so. That's a pretty impressive pace for a single prosecutor and her assistants.
I have a site that delivers content, forums, and maybe even a few application-like features all in one. Why have two systems when one system can do all that? It'll simply never happen. The web killed gopher. The web killed NNTP. The web has almost killed email. What you described has existed and been killed off a half-dozen times already.

I'm not against having more user-protection features (heck, I have a number of plugins installed to do just that) but limiting usability and creativity is the wrong approach. It's been done and it always fails.
In Paris, there are the same post-WW2 shelters. I worked in one of them owned at the time by the France Telecom. I liked it as I felt like a spy :)
You entered from the street thru a small door. Then in the hall there was a guy behind a glass, asking for ID. Once verified, you could turn to the elevator. There was nothing else in this entry hall, a glass window and an elevator door.
The elevator was going 7 level deep (could go to 9 if I recall, but I did not have access to lower level).
-7 was weird. They had fake windows with artificial light behind. Walls with huge landscape picture. It was warm too. And kinda dead, as I was sometime the only one working at that floor, and I could not venture much as there were cameras everywhere. It was actually cool still :)
I feel completely put out by the smartphone market when it comes to music listening these days. I care a lot about audio quality, and I run a lot. This means two problems:

1. Bluetooth headphones usually have shit audio quality, and too little battery life for someone who listens as much as I do.

2. I have yet to use a phone in the last 8+ years that I didn't destroy the 3.5mm jack on over the course of <1 year of running. The same thing is clearly applying to the USB-C adapter on my Pixel 2. It frequently needs to be removed and plugged back in mid-run.

It feels like I don't have any options here. Anyone have any good tips? Particularly for a Pixel 2? Is there maybe a better aftermarket adapter?

To use a concrete example, 500/200 fiber through Orange in France is about $63/month after the one-year promo period: https://boutique.orange.fr/internet/offres-fibre/jet. The closest FiOS plan is ~$80/month after the promo period for symmetric gigabit. So we're somewhat more expensive, for somewhat faster speeds. Affordability-wise, it's about the same, considering the much higher household income in the U.S.

But if you visited say Baltimore and Paris, you wouldn't realize that. "France has fiber and Maryland doesn't," you'd conclude. Population distribution in the two places is very different: most people in the U.S., especially the folks who can afford higher tiers of internet service, live outside the core cities. While Baltimore has crappy internet choices, most of Maryland lives outside Baltimore, and has fiber. Indeed, Maryland is in the top-5, just behind Sweden and way ahead of France in Akamai's tests.

Where are you from that 3G is "emerging"? I think we have like 90% LTE coverage for major providers, just a question of hardware supporting that.
Yep. Be careful with shorting stocks like these. RIOT just went up another 35% today. Markets can stay irrational for quite awhile...
Why do you have to fork to get a memory profile? I don't know anything about memory profiling yet (I collected a bunch of links in https://gist.github.com/jvns/b81eb039f6373bc577d7dbdd978581b... but haven't read their source yet) but I'd like to know more. It seems like it should be possible to get a memory profile in production without a prohibitive amount of overhead though.

Also, I believe forking shouldn't actually double memory usage because of copy on write.
Was that part of the platform anywhere? I'm saying that the left has taken advantage of procedural stuff themselves (and therefore, haven't tried to fix the loopholes) and have for recent years suffered greatly because of it.

I honestly don't think that they've used as sleazy of tactics to get what they want (such as denying a president a supreme court appointment) but I don't have hard data to back that up other than a couple recent examples.

I'm saying they need to make it part of their platform. Someone has to be adult enough to realize that restoring our democracy to a more working order is essential. That means gerrymandering, campaign finance, filibusters etc.
The NSA was able to infect air gapped Iranian computers 100 ft underground that only a handful of individuals had access to. I doubt any hot wallets are really out of Government reach given enough time and attention. A cold wallet with offline multi sig - more likely.
Well said. I was also struck by the author's core argument- that Bitcoin will never be stable because nobody can manipulate its value. Seems to me the opposite is true; the fact that nobody can directly manipulate supply will provide the type of stability our current fiat currency sorely lacks.

Some were planned as deep nuclear shelters for cities - and they became completely useless as soon as hydrogen bombs were developed. A full scale war would reduce central London to a series of large craters.

Per capita?

Anyway, I just wanted to point out that there are many variables to consider, and a lot of them are less obvious, or less quantifiable.
> You can make a digital transaction without trusting anyone, especially the other party.

Well you would need to trust the other party to get something in return, unless you're giving it away. The big part is making a transaction without trusting a 3rd party.

> Mainly transaction speed is super slow (10m to confirm a transaction went through)

It depends on how large your transactions are. If you buy a car for example you want to wait for more, maybe 6, confirmations while if you pay for coffee you can use a coin where zero-conf (basically instant) transactions can be considered okay.

Put that with the context that VISA has a settlement time of around 30 days.

> and transaction fees are very high (especially now with the "bubble", it's something above 10$/transaction)

Only for the crippled coin Bitcoin. Bitcoin Cash could for example easily handle all Bitcoin's transactions for pennies.

> (Fast payment, relative privacy, low transaction fees), with the further benefit of chargebacks. If someone steals money from your Bitcoin wallet, you're screwed, with a credit card you phone them up and they undo it.

If you're a business chargebacks are actually an anti feature. Chargeback fraud is a very real and very common occurrance.

> Actually, even with Bitcoin you need to trust a third party: the exchange.

Only if you use it to enter/exit with fiat.

> IMO a real bank or credit card processor is more trust worthy than a crypto exchange.

Absolutely. That's why it's recommended to hold your coins yourself and don't leave it on any exchange. Of course they could become more trustworthy as time goes on.

> That's all to say that currently crypto makes no sense for real transactions

Except I have used it successfully several times to buy stuff. It's also much better than any alternatives for donations (where for example PayPal cannot freeze the funds) or remittance to far away/difficult locations.

> As well, other uses may be valid, the main case is "a hold of value", like gold.

I find that stupid though.

> IMO, crypto has no intrinsic value (not even decorative like gold) and is very volotile, so it's up to you to decide whether it's going to last.

The value is transactions without a 3rd party and it's very hard to reverse already made transactions. There's no need to have any physical value.
You can't do anything interesting with ENIAC, but you had to build those before you built anything else :^)
My reaction when the same thing keeps being a security problem...seriously, wasn't there a major WPAD/PAC issue earlier this year?
Near as I can tell, there were employees unhappy but not about to quit, some of whom I met and talked with before I left. And when I left there were many unhappy employees, of various backgrounds. I know because a large number sent me hand-written notes (very much appreciated).

To this day you can find people angry on both "sides" of the fake-news version of what happened. It constitutes an open wound for Mozilla which people salt and pick at over more recent or ongoing PR mistakes. That's a shame, because the truth is far removed from the cover story. I'll get to it as a memoirist, if ever, only years from now.

I would love it if the internet worked like this, but I don't see how we could ever get there from where we are now. Too much is invested in the status quo and people are too used to it.

Most of the money in existence doesn't actually exist, it is an illusion created through fractional reserve banking.

If the Fed wants to inflate the currency they print more and 'give' it to banks who create even more on top of this and if they want to deflate the currency they can simply change the minimum reserve value so less money is created out of thin air by the banks. Totally oversimplifying here but that's the general idea.

Anything short of 100% reserve banking and you have illusionary money in existence that gets spent just as well as a paper bill but with no actual paper bill backing it.
> I hate carrying cash, and It bothers me that I have to carry $1 bills for the tipping extortion.

I don't carry cash either, but I just tip with a credit card. If you don't accept tips with card, you don't get tipped. 90% of the time, there's a tip line on the credit card receipt.

But I do agree that we need to increase wages and kill tipping culture.
Kuberenetes is meant to be a self-healing always up infrastructure, if your minikube goes down, it cannot heal fast enough, and your services will go down. It is recommended to have at least 3 nodes.
Ok, I agree, attacked your weakest argument, which you specifically marked as being trivial flaws. So to address your actual issue:

> Graphic designers, writers, HTML/CSS frontenders, managers, data analysts and QA staff can’t use Git, even though they all used Subversion.

Why is it hard for them to use git? For simple use cases, git can be as easy as commit & push. No need for branches. There are even UIs which allow you to easily make commits and see the log [1]. If more people work together and conflicts arise, I honestly don't know how SVN is better at solving them.

My thoughts exactly.. We don't know we need it till its to indispensable to remove. Only god knows what we could do with quantum computers. There are some low hanging fruit with encryption and quantum simulation.. but hey maybe it can be used in random world generation for games like minecraft.

Intel has known their Dennard Scaling was petering out for a while now.

I think Intel is more concerned with the loss of their instruction set architecture "monpoly." Despite their massive R&D investments, they aren't expecting process scaling to be the big win for much longer.
>...and the employee wins because they are paid minimum wage and get their tips tax free.

Not tax free. Your employer reports 8% of your total receipts to the IRS as income. It's likely less than you make in tips, but you still pay some tax.
Twitter is not journalism. And as you yourself have pointed out, Trump is one of the most powerful people on earth—meaning he has at his disposal more platforms than any of us can even dream of. Twitter can no more "police his speech" than I can police all of Facebook.

What Twitter can do is decide they don't want Trump to be an active member of their community. That is not just within their legal rights; it's well within their moral rights too.

Comically, all previous generations thought they had it way worse than the previous. For a fun time read about how the baby boomers complained about how hard they had it. And GenX. Reading stuff from 95-00 is pretty funny.

HTML built-in elements—especially forms and tables—have atrophied badly, I guess because the Javascript crutch is right there. That's gotta be why things like the file picker are still awful, there's nothing like native UI date/time pickers that any sane native UI kit includes, tables don't have (re)sorting built in, and so on.

So the work would be, 1) delete like 80-85% of Gecko or Servo or whatever, 2) add back about 5% of that to patch in better form elements and such, 3) write some default styles that don't suck and a system for editing them or loading themes, maybe even per-site (nice, but not needed in the MVP), including user-submitted styles, and 4) overcoming the chicken/egg problem of getting content on it to attract users, or vice/versa (there's the tricky bit).
Great to hear! I promise we’ll always keep it free for personal private repos - it makes a tonne of sense from our perspective, as we want to build a product people use and advocate.
Do you see a value with a trustless peer-to-peer digital currency?

Bitcoin is probably in a large bubble, but there is real value behind it.
Eh, are Haskell programmers really in a position to throw stones here? I mean, in Haskell terms, a FactoryFactory corresponds to something like

type EventFactory = () -> Event
type EventFactoryFactory = () -> () -> Event

which seems fairly innocuous. Meanwhile, Haskell programs have gems like

type Prism s t a b = forall p f. (Choice p, Applicative f) => p a (f b) -> p s (f t)
The important bit: "The UNSW team has struck a A$83 million deal between UNSW, Telstra, Commonwealth Bank and the Australian and New South Wales governments to develop, by 2022, a 10-qubit prototype silicon quantum integrated circuit – the first step in building the world’s first quantum computer in silicon."

So no, they haven't built a many-qubit general quantum computer.
So true. Reminds me of the recent reporting by the SFBT about the surveillance bot that the SF SPCA used in its parking lot to deter crime.

From all other accounts it appears that SFBT (who said it was to deter the homeless from hanging around) got the report completely wrong. As a result of the poor reporting, the SPCA has now been vandalized multiple times.

So all in all, poor reporting made the problem worse.

It makes me more hesitant to share stories, even from what I consider reputable sources, because I don't want it to reflect poorly on me when the story is later found out to be completely incorrect.
Git revert has undesired side effects for merges. If you have a merge-only workflow (GitFlow, for example), and your pull request breaks something, a revert commit will not help you.

After a revert, all the commits that were merged, are still merged, but then they're deleted. The next time you pull, git will delete the changes in your working branch.

In a merge workflow, you have to either fail forward (fix the problem, rather than backing out the merge), or reset/rebase the shared branch, and email repair instructions to everyone on the team.

That "using mostly standard silicon technology" phrase implies that cryogenic temperatures are not needed during manufacturing, only during operation.
Money supplies are constantly inflating, every financial instrument can be looked at as a form of money, and quite a few of them are actually considered to be money, such as treasuries and traveler's cheques. According to Wikipedia, the broadest measure of money supply currently in use was 10.5 trillion, in 2013.

That cryptocurrencies are not currently considered to be money by the world economic order, it goes into a much broader range of financial assets like stocks and bonds. The S&P 500 market size reached 19.6 trillion USD in 2016

Bitcoin has a lot of room to grow before it even comes close to playing in that league. Everybody on HN should be buying crypto right now, the upside is that huge.
Do you really care about audio quality that much when you’re out running? You’re not exactly in an ideal listening environment, and whatever bud type headphones you’re wearing won’t be able to accurately reproduce bass anyway.
I think that's an implementation detail, not a standard feature. Certainly in Sweden induction is basically standard in any kitchen done up in the past 3-4 years or so, and I've never seen that problem.

One problem that is real is that they all insist on using resistive touch controls on the cooking surface instead of physical knobs. Which means if you spill liquid on your cooking surface or accidentally slide your pot onto the buttons all the controls freak out.
It looks like this concerns some game, and not space warfare as it might actually occur? For example, here's a quote:

Past experience with GUI frontends and other sorts of simplifying interfaces for version control tools has left me extremely reluctant to use anything more than git's out-of-the-box command line, despite its execrably wretched, unlearnable inconsistency. When things don't make sense with git, I can at least compare notes with coworkers, or search the web and find many discussions where other people have been similarly confused, and received useful advice. If I'm using some custom frontend interface, on the other hand, there are inevitably going to be situations it doesn't handle where I have to fall back to the command line, which I won't remember anything about because I will not have been using it, nobody else on my team is likely to be familiar with the tools I'm using, and discussions on the web are likely to be scarce. Better to just absorb the ongoing pain of git's terrible interface for day-to-day tasks so that I'm not completely hosed when things inevitably go wrong.
London's sewers are more impressive than the Tube system. Much of the tube was built with relatively modern tunnelling technology - especially the newer lines like the Victoria and Jubilee Extension.

The sewers were hand-built with late Victorian technology - i.e. brick-lined deep tunnelling - and made a huge contribution to public health. The Thames was literally full of crap until they were completed, and they made London approximately habitable, instead of the disease-infested hell hole it used to be.
