I received one as well. Most of the time it sits on mute, to be honest. (It sits right next to the TV and sometimes the TV would cue it into action and it would respond to what it thought was a legitimate query)

I found that for some music, it would find a radio station named after exactly what I was looking for (for instance a 'station' that only plays the one band or one song) after prompting me to get Google Play.

The most used function on there is the built-in trivia app my girlfriend and I play Saturday mornings while we're doing other things.

I never had a real problem with the search function, though. I'm surprised it wouldn't find results for that question. Did you have location disabled?
I'm not sure what would be more fitting, but "democratic" seems like thewrong word here. I understand what you mean, though. The easiest drug to make yourself is probably alcohol e.g. people making their own in prison.

- Launch hidden web browser through WiFi Web Auth or the Japanese version of PuyoPuyo Tetris.

- Connect to MITM'd WiFi hotspot that has a webkit exploit.

- Gain userspace access.

- Exploit preload (pl:u) service, it has an array out of bounds read.

- Exploit SM service by forgetting to initialize it with your PID, therefore it thinks you are PID 0.

- The whole Kernel is mapped into userspace for some reason, can be used as ASLR bypass.

- Search Tegra manual for "bypass SMMU" - follow instructions, bypass kernel using the GPU. (35:00, oversimplified here)

- Change certain parts of DRAM, PMC, etc, and during wakeup TrustZone will execute whatever. This is fixed past v1.0.0.

Life doesn't exist on one axis. If I compiled a list of every "if your company does X, quit" heuristic that has been heavily upvoted on HN and we all started following them we'd all be unemployed.
I wouldn't involve a 2nd person,
A sealed envelope labeled "In case of actual or impending catastrophe" should suffice. Sending the alert would require a string of characters inside the envelope,

Envelope should also contain the instructions for initiating the alert, in case the person who opens the envelope is not familiar with the software for sending the alert.

The important UX part is that the person has to get up out of their chair and open a very serious looking envelope.
That is only if publishers and users consent. Both get paid in that case, 70% to publisher, 15% to user. But it's not the private ad model we are trying first.

What we're most excited about are opt-in, user-private and -anonymous ads, long form and at low frequency, where you get 70% of the gross revenue.

In either case some brand principles:

1. We pay 70% to the ad "inventory owner" -- the person who is giving attention space up for the ad

2. We always pay the user as much as, or more than, we take. This aligns our interests.

3. We never keep user data on any servers, whitelist ads for a fee, let trackers through to target or attribute/confirm.

The grand-parent post here is just flat wrong. In no case do we track user data for profit -- we never did and never will. All data in clear stays on your device. We use a ZKP protocol over a VPN for anonymous settlements/confirmations. Our site details all this: https://brave.com/.

>In the vast majority of cases the context doesn't change the meaning of the name much.

It absolutely does, and in a vast number of cases I have duplicate folder names.

I probably have a hundred different folders on my computer called "src". Knowing that it's ~/dev/projectName/src/ helps me know which src folder it is.

For a non-software example, I always organize my client folders somewhat like: ~/clients/A/contracts, or ~/clients/A/designs, ~/clients/A/notes

Ingrained associations don't die easily. I remember when I first quit facebook. I still had the habit of quickly pressing "F, enter" for months after I quit. After a couple years though, I hardly ever go through that old routine.

Just now I enabled grayscale via the Android developer menu. I noticed an immediate reduction in intensity. It didn't feel like "bullshit" to me! If you want this to help you, you're probably gonna have to give it a little bit more of an open mind. The attitude of "this is bullshit" could very easily sabotage any positive benefits of this exercise. Big things grow from small seeds, but only if you water them, give them light and make sure they don't get crowded out by more aggressive plants.
I suspect the reason that Ford are electrifying current models is because of two reasons, a) inventors dilemma and the sales teams / channels that don't want to undercut their current stock of models, and b) for an organisation as large as Ford the change will take years to plan. I'd look for ground up EVs from Ford after two more year model cycles (i.e. about 6 years time); even if they wanted to move quicker I suspect that organisationally they'd struggle.

Toyota are still wedded to the hybrid models of cars, they are the world leaders there, by volume heads and shoulders the first, by technology first or very nearly so.
I don't think morality has much to do with it.

Taking violence out of transactions by simultaneously making the consequences of violence very expensive and the alternatives to violent dispute resolution relatively inexpensive is what makes non-violent markets work.

But I agree: a market in violence rather than a People controlled, pre-agreed upon rules-based government monopoly on violence would lead to and an explosion of cartel-like violence in many more arenas. I just think it is because we make it relatively cheap in that scenario rather than any kind of moral coupling.

I really hope this pans out for them. Their stock has been flat for a while now, but they’ve also claimed they were heavily investing in electric vehicles for some time as well.

It’ll be interesting to see who will take the lead in the next 5 years- startup automakers like Tesla or these larger auto titans who in theory should have been first to the game.

> But it lets me connect with people that I have no other way of communicating with.

This is such an unfortunate and all-too-common mindset in our world. Of course there are other ways to connect with people. They may not be as simple to use. It blows my mind how much people talk about how tech can do amazing, world-changing things while simultaneously telling themselves that alternative methods of online communication simply aren't possible.

> Give more of what I want, or my engagement will drop.

Think about what you're asking from Facebook's perspective. You're threatening to reduce engagement if you don't receive a feature that almost guarantees a reduction in engagement across the entire platform because everyone will have more control to filter what they see. How does that make business sense to them?
I’ve seen a bunch of these “Text Only [x]” demos and they are all much better than the original site for use on mobile. Perhaps it’s time more publishers started simplifying their sites drastically- they could still have ads which might actually be more successful if they load quickly...
To be fair regulated markets are vulnerable to manipulation today
And the same applies to proof of stake. You need some form of external randomness to give you security. Of course many people have tried to come up with schemes where randomness can be created fairly by a group of people who don't necessarily trust each other [1]. Unfortunately all these schemes require at least half the participants to be honest so are vulnerable to trivial Sybil attacks. And the only way we know how to prevent Sybil attacks is to use proof of work or some sort of centralised system: leaving us back where we started.

I am convinced it can be mathematically proven that Proof of Stake/Burn algorithms don't work (without some sort of external randomness) but I don't have the mathematical skill to produce the proof.

If you just don't think a comment adds anything, but have no real disagreement with it, that's a good reason to either not respond or downvote.

It's not a good reason to deliberately misinterpret it and respond to that strawman sonthst you have an artificial disagreement.
Minutes to Live: When the Nuclear Push Alert Is Not a Mistake
Prayer. Though I can't claim to be some rock star prayer monk.

When I was young, I had a routine that on the bus ride to school I would read a chapter of the Bible then "pray"--which amounted to jotting down notes in a journal. My prayer had three sections. In the first section I would reflect on the previous day and list any wrongs I had committed. This could be as big as lying to evade punishment or as small as procrastination of a task or envying another person's accomplishments. In the second section I made a list of things for which I was thankful. In the last section I jotted down positive intentions for myself and others. Stuff like, "help me be more humble" or "please comfort Sarah during her parents' divorce," etc.

Then the bus would pull into the school lot and I would start my day.

I found this sort of self-reflection immensely formative. In the bustle of everyday life, it is easy to lose context of yourself and how you fit into the world around you. It was helpful that every day I was reflecting on the great many blessings I had, my own inadequacies and needs, and the needs of others. I suspect it made me more likely to apologize to a friend for something snide I said the other day. And more likely to go out of my way to do something nice for an acquaintance that was having a hard time. Perhaps this is partially my own personality, but I was also rather content with my life at all stages, even during rough times. Cultivating an attitude of thankfulness probably contributed to that contentment.

When I turned sixteen and started driving to school, my prayer routine went out the window. It never quite resumed the consistency of those early years. More recently I've started attending morning prayer at the local parish.
Sure, but I'd expect that there's some agent already in those niches and that agent would have experience new agents would lack. Then, uh, non-linear returns to expertise at violence do complicate the issue in ways I can't predict but the empirical observation that violence has gone down would tend to support the the observation that profits have done down and argue against the idea that marijuana cartels are now violently displacing heroin cartels.
Completely relatable about going into interviews stone cold after having an emotional meltdown. I often wonder if this forced emotional distance is favorable to interviewers, and perhaps, the successful interviews i have in this mindset appear to be luck/chance because of the distance itself.

The more emotionally detached i am from an opportunity, the less i am thinking about all the work ive done and the associated emotional/mental stress that surmounted to each moment. As a result i probably appear less desperate, less anxious, more confident, and more easygoing.

I also consider the fact that displaying less emotion is more relatable to men. It's a tough spot to be in, but very interesting to reflect on nonetheless.
What?? Go channels don't have timeouts?

I had to read about this and I'm a little dumbfounded. Why wouldnt Go support timeouts for channels? The extra complexity seems huge especially if you wanted a timeout that was different than the library based hack -- for example if you wanted a timeout since last write.

I don't understand what the Go devs are protecting people from.
What I am speaking for here is not the CLI per se, but the fact that a CLI interface is generally a flat interface. That is: there's one place where you will be able access all of the commands, and as much the help for them.

A multi-tabbed configuration would be the worst counter-example of the former. On the other hand mentioning IDEA again - their config window (Cmd+,) directly allows one to search for the elements of the configuration in a flat manner. That's damn efficient.

Have you ever tried to scroll through a list of 100s of items? What if all of these items are in pop-over menu that closes if you accidentally click outside it? How much easier that is in a console though.

I would always vouch for software that is both easy to use right from the start, but neither does not hide it's functionality anymore: just the way we have moved from yellow pages on the internet arranged in a tree-like fashion for a purely flat Google interface, I would like to be able to use software in the same non-hierarchical way.
There is a small problem with your explanation: refraction can happen with single photons, which means that the "minimum path length" rule continues even as the wave formulation breaks down. If you say "the photon travels along all paths at the same time, finally choosing one path to have 'really' gone down," then you have to explain how it was able to move faster than light to collapse down to the single point where you found it on your camera's sensor.

There is indeed a mystery here. In fact, since the only option I know of that eliminates spooky FTL signalng and spooky hidden (unobservable) mechanics has spooky alternate universes, I feel safe in concluding that at least one spooky thing has to be happening, even though we don't know which one it is.
Everyone loves placebo, but after browsing for half hour in grayscale and turning back color there is some kind of wow effect.
>Diet: Your mental and physical well being is a rolling average of the things you eat. Cheat days are fine; cheat weeks are not. As long as your diet is always trending in the right direction, you'll find life becomes a little easier to manage at an increasing rate.

You're totally right, and would like to stress that you get 1000 meals a year. I prefer to think of "cheat meals" rather than "cheat days" so... splurging once in a while isn't always a bad thing.
A standardized credentialing exam doesn't have to require a college degree.
I have a question tho, isn’t it just moving the problem to a different location? I.E. not starting, clearing or w/e with the dishwasher?
I also like the distinction of “tool” and “place”. It feels like a useful mental concept.

I can see a relation to the economics of software development. Companies want their products to be places, so they capture a slice of your attention and deepen awareness of their brand. Nvidia is an example: It is just a single part of the computer hardware, yet it comes with a GUI tool and often demands attention.

Free software can afford to become a tool. Imagine if you boot a Linux desktop and various involved projects show you a series of splash screens first: This desktop experience brought to you by systemd, dbus, dnsmasq, CUPS, NetworkManager, PulseAudio, Gnome, Mozilla Firefox, Gnome Keyring Daemon, gvfsd, and bash.
How does this negate mutually assured destruction? If anything it enforces the idea that this is why we have only had close calls. No one wants to be responsible for starting the demise of (at the very least) two countries.
The most important, non-default vim configuration for me is line numbers, and a simple "set number" when ssh'ing onto a machine to check logs has basically become my digital equivalent to getting a solid, familiar grip on a hammer before swinging it.
What part of the USSR did you grow up in? Was it a major city?
the technology is far from mature and world wide it would be even a bigger leap to electrify cars where grids are not reliable nor roads.

when the sales are such a paltry number of total automobile sales its kind of hard to be behind. batteries and charging systems have a long way to go hence betting on hybrids combined with ev tech is the best bet short term. plus much work is being done in range extended EVs with the REX still up in the air. hauling a thousand pounds of batteries for the short ranges we see now is not a good solution
This statement is laughably naive... crypto markets are quite literally a wild west free for all.

We're going to see crypto markets go through many of the same lessons that traditional markets did and slowly relearn why we have regulation and insurance.

> no. the cartels are what you get when you actively block organizations that are serving huge needs (recreational drugs), from access to peaceful means of conflict resolution and contract enforcement.

That’s how cartels get power in the first place, but once they’re there, they’re in the business of preserving revenue streams and territory and thus power.

Once they’re large enough, their raison d’être is no longer simply fulfilling a market need but maintaining and expanding revenue and power, creating market need as required to keep the machine running (e.g. protection rackets)
I think it probably rejects your hypothesis.

I use it frequently with multiple managers and directors. It entirely depends on your relationship with the person. Sometimes you can cultivate a relationship where being so formal and subservient is unnecessary, if not counter productive.

I started writing myself weekly letters. I would, in narrative form: tell myself what I really enjoyed; what was stressful; and what didn't work out. I came up with a list of affirmations and things to keep in mind for the coming week. I would treat the suggestions I came up with as "sudo me" and put in extra effort to abide by them.

Over the course of several months, this weekly process got me into a trajectory of positive self-improvement. I went vegan, started exercising regularly, began drinking tons of water every morning, started daily meditation, and put in place several behavioral controls around going out late at night.

The process was so successful, that I began doing something similar at the beginning of every month. I would lay out high level goals for the month, and list the major events I needed to prepare for. I would go over my overall level of happiness the previous month and identify trends from the weekly letters and come up with powerful ultimatums for the coming month.

The process worked so well, that when 2018 started, I spent 2 weeks going over the month-letters of the previous months and worked on distilling high-level intentions and affirmations for the coming year.

The biggest changes that have come out of this process are my focus on meditation and how I care for my body and mind. Through this process, I've identified my weaknesses in communication and self-care and flooded myself with resources and lectures to help me develop those skills.

Through this process, I've taken courses on REBT, NLP, NVC, and Public Speaking. I've focused on my written and verbal communication skills. It's now infinitely easier to speak to my co-workers, friends, partner and family. I'm not rushing around before events. I almost never feel stressed out, because I've went through taking-care of myself in advance.

TL;DR; Treating myself like a team has opened up a new way to pour energy into my personal growth.

Here's a list of the resources that have helped me grow in the last few months.

That’s probably because you can’t write a production-ready service or application from scratch over the course of an interview.

A violinist might be asked to play a technically difficult but short piece during an audition, even when most of the music they would play as a member of the orchestra would be less challenging and take a much longer time to play, with plenty of time for rehearsing ahead of time. Likewise, a software engineer is ideally asked to solve a small but technically challenging problem during the interview.
That's a great option for a founder to consider, but it means you won't have the resources to give compensation that's even competitive on paper.
