...soon. It will eventually happen, but the question is always, does having the better device now provide more value than saving money now and waiting for the better device to be available at the desired price point?

And by the time the better is available at the desired price point, will we want an even better device, perhaps because applications and our tastes have inevitable ratcheted up to demand even better performance?
It seems, from the other thread, that there was no change in an original definition, but it would be moot anyway, as the sprinkler example follows the reasoning of your claim that a crab is self-conscious, which in turn follows from the confusion, over the difference between being a thing and knowing that one is that thing, in this paragraph:

"Know you are that thing - every thing is itself, if it has well defined boundaries. Knowing something is just having access to that information and good reasons to believe it to be correct. Here we have a tautology - that a thing is itself - so it doesn't require much to know that. What you are probably more interested in is a mechanism that can take advantge of that knowledge in various ways. Like self preservation."

This line of thought leads to the self-consciousness of buildings in exactly the same way as it leads to the self-consciousness of crabs.

The NFL has a minimum salary of $450,000. 3-4 years in NFL at that will earn you more than the average American earns in a lifetime. That's probably a rational economic trade-off for the risk of CTE.
GPD Pocket fits the bill, although it has a keyboard (but also multi-touch touchscreen) .. runs Ubuntu though, so support shouldn't be a hassle, and its great to write apps for this thing with a full-blown Linux.

It seems like a stretch to compare the most normal activity ever, moving your body, to intentionally ingesting poison.

For one, if exercise makes you dizzy, nauseous, sweaty, and all your muscles ache, you are either severely out of shape are overdoing it.

I smoked for a fair portion of my life. The main motivation for addicts is to relieve the craving for tobacco. It’s pleasurable in some ways other than that, but cigarettes did not leave me feeling well most of the time.
I've actually tried telling the company that purchased a useless ad that it's wasting its money- to no avail. I still see ads for something I won't re-purchase for five years or so.
I'll tend to whitelist sites that I find useful, but the moment a distracting ad shows, the ad blocker goes back on. I understand the reason some sites rely on ad revenue, and I sympathise when theyre not given a chance, but if they can't be civil to their users then I see no reason for their users to put up with it.
Ask HN: In what areas I can work if I am good at distributed systems
I like distributed systems, I just started learning the concepts and algorithms in distributed systems. But I am wondering how I can benefit with the knowledge. I am looking for answers in following perspectives:
1)Can I get job specific to distributed systems?
2)Any ideas how to apply these concepts in any side projects.
3) Any community specially related to distributed systems
the snubbing of rosalind franklin seems pretty apolitical to me - she had died, and there are no posthumous nobels. still a damn shame she isn't more of a household name, though.
And yet the stereotype of the dumb football jock who's had his head knocked a few too many times has been prevalent as long as I can remember. It's just that previously it was used as a punchline in sitcoms rather than seen as a serious health risk to our children.

Except for 'Varsity Blues' (1999) I guess, and I'm sure other examples, where the evil coach telling the kid to play when another head injury could kill him was a main plot line.
Manhattan does not stop at the Central Park. Neither does it stop in Harlem or Upper Manhattan. It goes to Washington Heights and Inwood.
I would accept ads as the price of a web without paywalls, if they behaved like printed ads: being static, without user tracking, just selected by the relevance of the content they are placed in. Then ads might not only bring revenue to the publication but might be genuinely interesting to me.
Also a Nexus 7 user, moved to a Shield, and more recently I bought the regular (not "Plus") variant and I'm also fairly happy with it. It's no gaming tablet (maybe the Plus is?) but I mostly just use it for reading - be it ebooks, websites, or news.

It doesn't actually look too bad. Someone's selling one of the HPs running Windows 10 on ebay. I can't imagine it being maintenance-free over that lifetime though, it would need to be either fanless or regularly cleaned. Thermal paste wears out. Batteries have a 3-5 year lifespan.

Mind you, I'm sitting at work surrounded by ancient point-of-sale hardware that's still in use...

Interesting. One would expect Dawkins, being an evolutionary biologist and father of the concept of meme, to just accept the change. But he probably wasn't speaking of what should or should not be. Rather about what he's doing himself.

I don't want to derail the topic, but why is Israel listed under "Europe"?

I'm asking because it's the second time I see Israel listed as a European country around the net, but I've always been taught that it's an Asian country. Has there been any explicit effort to make it part of Europe?
IMHO, there's a big difference between (a) working as a "digital nomad" and (b) trying to make an income while vacationing all over the place. I have had great success with the former, which allows you to save money with longer stays in each location. The latter means you're wasting more time moving (both planning your next move and physically traveling), are paying tourist rates often (for everything).
Medicine can do just about anything with small clusters of cells and nobody would complain. That's not everything, but it is quite a bit.

Consider we generally do blood not lymph tests. That's a mix of practicality and tradition, but one one of many areas of basic research mostly left alone. Sure, doctors physically examine for enlarged lymph nodes, but that's because the immune system is largely based around the lymphatic system because that's mostly how diseases move around the body not through the blood.

Getting back to what I said, we can do a lot of high quality medical research that may or may not be useful in the long term, but we don't approach it as a research problem we approach it as an engineering problem looking for solutions to real world problems.

PS: As to CPU vs Medicine vs Physics. We are comparing numbers do large it's hardly meaningful, 10^20 (CPU) vs 10^30 (Medicine) vs infinity (Physics) all round to bigger than you can comprehend.

Speaking as the owner of a 1st gen iPad, they have the same obsolescence problem on a slightly longer timescale. It's barely usable, up-updateable, Safari crashes a lot, so I only use it for Spotify.
There is no easy way. I have worked in different spheres and understand that to make any business work well it needs to be capable of becoming a full-flung manifestation with an office space and receptionist (ready to work around the clock for global ideals) that can canter and monitor networks like Facebook, Twitter and more. You never know from where a client will try to reach you.
The answer is going to sleep, at a regular time. Put down the computer, put down the cell phone, put down the games. Go to bed early. Above all else I make sure I get my eight hours every night. If I'm tossing and turning, I'll call into work. As a result, I am NEVER sick. Ever. Anecdotal sure, but if I don't get sleep, I feel like I'm coming down with something.

Also naps, take advantage of them. I'll often go home on lunch, and take a snooze for an hour.

I took 6 months sabbatical to backpack. And after the 5th month I was ready to go back home and live a more stable, quiet life. Being a nomad is not for everyone. It wasn't for me.
I wouldn't call this a "trend" - I haven't seen an increase in this type of thing (in fact, I've seen a decrease in usage). It is insanely annoying, though. I suspect some unqualified upper-management person randomly decided that this seemed to make things "feel more secure" or some crazy notion, and pushed for it. It seems more likely at banks and things like that, who aren't exactly known for their user-friendly websites.
Do you read the content on the website? Because in that case yes it is fair for the "store owner" to force you to pay the price.

While it may not be possible with your schedule, it sounds like you need to work out in the morning. Also, a cold shower will fix the overheating problem. Takes a while to get used to that though. I had to learn to tolerate that when I had work meetings on the same mornings I do long runs or I'd sweat through my clothes.
As I've said many times I don't mind ads, but I block trackers. What these websites need to understand is that this is the market in action. We can bemoan trackers. We can legislate against them (at least in principle). But if WEBSITES were to LOSE MONEY if as a result of using trackers and therefore NOT USE THEM then the companies hoarding our data would have to find another business model or go out of business.

Using ad/tracking blockers is the morally correct choice if you want the market to handle this.

The way I read that is that you're a shill as soon as you say something (even slightly) positive about Apple..

I guess for an Android fan it's not a tough call to be cleared of the 'shill' label, because there's plenty of fucking up going on in that world that even the diehard fans have to admit to it.. If only Apple would do us Apple fans the favor of royally fucking up from time to time so that we can stop being accused of being shills.. But alas they never do.. What a pity..

Guuz's comment does not change the earlier definition (regardless of who stated it.) What it does do is point out a flaw in your argument from that definition to your claim that crabs are self-conscious.
To extend this analogy, it's more like they have cameras in the store and you are covering them up.

Where this analogy breaks down is when those cameras start following you from store to store.

This machine is the stringing together major physics, optical, and electronic discoveries of the past century or so into a precision machine with incredible new capabilities. From the electron sources, the RF technologies, vacuum and supercon technology, the Bremstrellung (sp?), to the photon grouping, to the obviously advanced detectors with enormous parallel data throughput. One of the best talks I have seen. Bravo.
As others say, you can't exercises too close to sleep time, so maybe that is the issue here.

Among runnners there is something called the two day lag rule, that if you go for a long run on Sunday then it is not Sunday night that you sleep, but instead it is Monday. Dunno why.
AFAIK There's really only one manufacturer of eink displays, so there's a good chance the physical interface is the same as other eink displays.
Right, and the Likelihoodist/Bayesian would put those details into the model. Real world concerns get handled by each side in acceptable ways, but very special details about how sampling and posterior distributions differ are what make this tricky.
My wife got attacked in San Francisco in Tenderloin around 11am, a few blocks away from Clift Hotel on the second day of the trip. I guess her carrying a Starbucks cup made her a target.

The fact that SF tolerates shit like this under the banner of "acceptance", "it is mental health" or whatever the hell it may be is mind blowing.
> I think a great deal of them would still choose to play despite knowing the risks. There are likely neighborhoods where people raise families that are less safe than playing in the NFL.

Yes, some of these athletes are choosing between sports and poverty. That's another reason why it's messed up, not why it's okay.
I disagree this is "straight up illegal deception", in fact, I find the slowing down perfectly rational and a desirable feature. The problem isn't the slowing down, but it is shining light on the irreplaceability, which IMHO is the true crime against the planet. That our legal infrastructures haven't caught up to it is irrelevant, planned obsolescence is a cancer, and if this is the only time people will notice, damn straight I'll use it

I love the nomad lifestyle, in the US being a nomad was easy especially if you have a big vehicle (I had a bus) because once you pass the suspect screens that the police implement to get a green light in their system you are no longer harassed. Here in South America it is different most foreigners are treated very well backpacking or with a vehicle, if you know the language and present yourself well. It is very hard to be broken if you have all your wits, desire, motivation and determination, a person can go indefinitely with a laptop and a backpack without ever stopping or until you complicate it.
Interesting. Is this a recent problem? I mean, CCC moved to Leipzig because of more room over there, right? So I was thinking, that the rooms would be bigger due to that as well. Perhaps due to that things like stage fright occur more commonly or often and that could make it a thing to consider or train for. Maybe some kind of unbiased, informative articles or online training could be recommended.
You are not going to get more than 10% of shell users to type ":Output Destination File /home/erikj/log" instead of just "> home/erikj/log". Learn it once, save typing a lot of characters, many times a day.

The idea that you should type so much more just to be "not cryptic" is as old as COBOL. Which, as most people would agree, was not a good idea.

Good for you! You've clearly found a style of life that suits you very well, and that's something worth cherishing.

But the nomad style isn't for everyone, and its challenges are as unusual as everything else about it. Since Hacker News is at least tangential to those sections of the tech entrepreneur thoughtsphere where nomadism is extolled as the best and only thing, I think this is a conversation worth having here.
Can you be a bit more specific? I clicked through to some of the linked profiles and they broadly matched what I would have expected.

I wish someone would take the time to benchmark how stark the performance difference is between Day 0, Day 365, Day 730, etc. of doing the same exact tasks on a factory reset device with whatever is the latest software version at that time.

It's not hard to roll out new features behind flags for devices which can't reasonably support them. But your experience of ridiculous lag trying to open basic apps which have no particularly high resource requirement has been my experience exactly.

There's more going on than simply, "we added new features!" Devices which on Day 0 are blazingly fast and incredibly responsive because literally unusable in a few years doing exactly the same tasks.

Does anybody know if this is a commonly assigned undergraduate project? If so, there should be lots of these emulators floating around.
That is completely wrong.

There is a vast market for consumer data (which is more than just browsing history) with everything from credit agencies like Equifax to data brokers like Axciom to traditional analytics companies like Nielsen and Comscore to top tech companies like Google, Adobe, Oracle, Salesforce, and others that have marketing clouds with DMP platforms. It's a massive industry.

Fixed Blockchain Fees
Bitcoin's security is highly dependent upon its miners.

In order to maintain security, mining costs must perpetually increase to lower the risk of a 51% attack.

For these reasons, Bitcoin will become inefficient and unsustainable.

It will "eventually" have to come to an end.

Peercoin's Solution

1. Peercoin will never have a transaction volume problem.

2. Your savings mints a guaranteed 1% per year.

3. Fixed transaction fees are destroyed; preventing inflation.

4. Better for the environment.

Everything you list as missing are user convenience features. Not OS security features.

There is no (or very little) perception of user sensitive data being stored on the switch itself, so from that perspective you don't need user data security protections.

But you do need protections against code execution that eventually leads to piracy and loss of faith in the system from publishers.

The security of game consoles is developed not for the user, but for the customers of the platform, which are the publishers.
Once you put a chromebook into devmode, you can login as the user 'chronos'. chronos does not have a password, and it has full sudo abilities (so you have root access immediately). Also, verified boot is turned off.

Ok, but what much of the (sadly) uninformed commentary around chromebooks and devmode fails to mention is that you can turn it all back on - and still keep devmode.

There's a simple script left there for you to set a password for chronos, and the big motd thats printed on the console (but not crosh) tells you about it. Run it, choose your password, and those who have physical access no longer have automatic root (or even chronos) access.

Turn verified boot back on, and disable legacy and usb booting. Now you have a machine, still in devmode, thats MORE secure that standard x86 machines.

- you can't boot from external media

- you can't pass args to the internal bootloader, when booting chromeos's kernel, so no more single-user linux kernel tricks (ie: instant root)

- you can't somehow modify the on-board kernel and get past verified boot

Nothing's totally unhackable, but this seems reasonably secure to me ...
