Well, yeah, but the phone is going to tattle anyway you look at it. Frankly, the advice is more useful to people who are worried about being tracked than an idiot planning murder. I get the feeling a domestic abuse case is going to be a better bet to use this technique to buy time to get away before we see someone try to hide a murder. Those child tracking tech items are probably going to be a gold mine for abusive partners.

Personally I don't really mind having a few main hubs because Lightning Network allows trust-less payments. Your hub can never steal your money. It's guaranteed by math and Bitcoin network itself.

Lightning Network might not be perfect solution, but it is a solution to scaling problem. Increasing block size is certainly not a long term solution.
It’s a regular occurrence on HN someone dropping an acronym that is so obscure or specific to the topic at hand, and without explanation, that no amount of googleitsu will find the correct decoding. In this case it was pretty easy,nvh = noise, vibration, harshness.

I submitted it out of my curiosity. I posted here, usually HNers have more information than my own searching.
In their mobile app I searched a place and then copy the words. Then I searched the 3 words location and it shows 3 differen locations.
Anybody knows why?
The word is ounce.assumes.grafted. The location matched the word is near Surabaya, Indonesia then near Chibougamau, Quebec and near saguache, Colorado.

Absolutely. It's a critical part of our runtime configuration, but we're hardly the first people to think of this approach.

I remember reading some discussion in an HN thread about FinTech developers who run Java with 100GB+ heaps and no garbage collector, and then reboot the application after the markets close. I can't find that specific thread, but I did find this which has a few nuggets on the same subject: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6131786
On a related note. I personally was never able to find a resource for databases analogous to lambda the ultimate for programming languages. So I started a community dedicated to DBMS systems (building, papers, etc) on reddit. So if you're interested in this topic, please contribute.

Fiestly, LN routing is actually closer to a shortest-path problem than the TSP.

Secondly, even if it was the TSP, you don't need to 100% solve it in order to have a working system. How do you think actual travelling salesmen can exist? They just pick a good enough route, nobody is checking whether they picked the perfect route, and nobody cares.
1gb is not that big now and bandwidth is getting uped all the time for free.
Respectfully, I believe you are wrong about value of labor.

It seems to be much more based on supply & demand.

If everyone could do it, and there were no demand, the value would be low.

A quick way to check this is to look at expensive college programs where people come out making much less than the cost of their education. If you were correct, then such situation would not occur.

(And yes, I’m aware you said “generally”, because must even generally I think it’s incorrect. )
While I hold the title of CTO for a funded startup I feel I have taken much more of an engineering manager role.

Ticket review, deployment, product development and general firefighting seem to be the order of the day; We have a team of 12 engineers, my biggest issue is being able to let go of the important tasks and be able to trust my team that they can deliver in the 9-5 schedule they enjoy (Entirely the opposite of the life of a founder).

Being able to hire someone to just take some of the devops tasks off of my plate is my immediate priority. I have certainly found that my skills are getting a little rusty as I'm no longer in the trenches cutting code each and every day, much more in a review / implementation position.

My understanding of gold as a currency is that it naturally occurs with about the right frequency to be used as a money supply. It's rare enough you can't just make more but its plentiful enough to be in wide circulation.
This is extractive question answering rather than reasoning, so this will be challenging for it.

Nevertheless, most extractive systems learn some degree of co-reference resolution.

That is called a fluent interface (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluent_interface) and is generally frowned on by experienced language and API designers (even of the OO variety).

It has nothing to do with language keywords, it is just too far away from operational behavior to be very readable or debuggable.

Oh boy, you could say that about any tech that hasn't quite hit mainstream couldn't you? Including VR/AR and self driving cars, except these technologies have been around much, much longer (decades) and have yet to go fully mainstream.

Bitcoin itself is 9 years old. Ethereum is barely 3 years old. Meanwhile, people are building decentralized trading platforms, prediction markets, provably fair online casinos, an entirely new venture funding model has been created, crypto collateralized loans, virtual assets trading, IOT-based supply chain management, and so much more. You'd realize that if you looked past the memes, there's something there, it's still very early, but it's growing rapidly.
I know it's implied in your comment, but I hope that upon discovering someone was playing Netflix at home and not watching it, that the conclusion is still only "he was not at home while his Netflix is playing" and not "he put on Netflix to premeditate a murder." If he lies and says he was at home then that's perjury, which only may be evidence of premeditation.

I know this whole thread was tongue-in-cheek, but when someone's life is on the line for murder you do need to remember that you're trying to prove that a person did it, and it's not sufficient to disprove the ways that they didn't do it.

Which again contradicts Apple's statement from 2014.

One difference is that there are parts of the system that, most likely, not a single person understands nor, even with weeks of effort, could understand. At least with cars, you can be reasonably sure somebody understands or can reverse engineer any specific component. With certain software that is a lot less possible.

It would be like if our society couldn’t fully function without Roman concrete, but no one knew how to make it anymore. Which is sort of what happened during medieval times: people continued to use Roman roads and Roman bridges. But if anything degraded, there was no hope of repairing it.
Either the Lightning Network has found a solution to the routing problem which the entire internet has relied upon since 1989 [1], or the LN marketing is disingenuous and the actual implementation will be nothing more than an excuse to extract wealth to centralized payment processor hubs, further distancing Bitcoin from the main design of electronic cash:

"A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would
allow online payments to be sent directly from one party
to another without going through a financial institution."

Unless you mean something very different from the established consensus of economics when you use the term, “intrinsic value”, both of those statements are false.

I stand corrected, thanks! The 767 is replaced by the 787 still (well, the 767 is still in production for non passenger uses), which exists in the space as a smaller wide body.
No, they don't but I know what you are referring to.

Most of the time I get the result:

No results found for [phrase]
Results for [phrase] (without quotes)

..but the thing is that I know websites containing [phrase] exist. Often many of them and they aren't "dark web" either. Google used to be able to find them but no longer is.

This gets more confusing because sometimes it does work. Namely if you look for phrases which are popular search queries e.g. if you search for..

"hit me baby one more time"

..it will work amazingly well. But for other phrases it won't work at all and you will get the no results reply instead. It used to work for all phrases independent of their search popularity.

But yes, my original post was wrong. It does work for a lot of phrases.. but not for others.

I guess Google's engine dynamically optimizes things, and only indexes often searched phrases.

EDIT: Okay, this assumption was wrong too. I did some experiments to confirm my theory and the results showed that it is wrong..
Ok, we've changed the title to use the article's subtitle.

The submitted title was "Uber remotely locks computers during police raids to block information access". Since the site guidelines ask submitters not to use article titles when they're misleading or linkbait, I assume the submitter was trying to helpfully follow the rules. It's better to use representative language from the article itself, though, to avoid blunders—and in this case the subtitle can easily be shortened.
At some point, sure. But not at the point where you're just doing 50% more than Seattle. Get back to me when your ratio of new units to immigrants is double or triple that of Seattle on a sustained basis. If the price still isn't going down then, maybe we'll have something to talk about. 50% more just isn't much of a difference.
Good theory, maybe that's why they push the "personalization" and localization of search engine so aggressively.

I personally don't feel that Google search quality has degraded very much if at all. It's true that I rarely get new sites outsite the echo chamber or few 1000 popular sites, but to me 99% of the time they give me relevant and useful information I am looking for. To be honest Google search results on average is still heads and shoulders ahead of the competition. in almost all aspects.
I'm focused on connections. All systems should not have to connect back to the auth system to do their job. To that end, determining that a connection is trusted is not a weak versus strong consistency issue.

Now, checking a password in the system should be strongly consistent. In that I should be able to update my password and immediately use the updated password. Any other behavior will surprise me.

When someone else in the chain has agency, the argument for it being a rube goldberg machine gets a lot weaker. While some would argue that what the husband did here is bad, it certainly wasn't murder - not unless a lot of other factors come into play.
I cant pay for anything with out it being about $40 in the last month. I sent $50 in btc from my local wallet to my bitpay debit card the other week not paying attention and it cost me $37 for max block time.
That was just a random example of a phrase. I made it up on the fly.
utxo set is one issue with large number of transactions. The far bigger is the big block size you would need for visa-level transaction numbers (1GB / 10min was mentioned).

And it's not only an issue for end-users (can't run a bitcoin client on your phone, you'd burn through your data within a couple days), but also for miners. They'd be far more likely to mine on top of an old block, leading to stale blocks.

There was a talk a while ago how the bitcoin developers improved the propagation of new blocks within the network and it basically eliminated stale blocks (at least for a while).

>Such systems cannot reason about interventions and retrospection and, therefore, cannot serve as the basis for strong AI.

Can't they, though? Humans can't reason about quite a lot of their own behavior either. Another question, as a complete outsider to the topic: can't reasoning be implemented as a higher order abstraction over a statistical model?
Funnily enough the PS1 and N64 are probably two of the worst mainstream consoles to emulate now. Progress on them seems to have been completely outstripped by most other consoles in the past decade.

I just gave you two methods off the top of my head. I’m saying it is easy to cheat, not “virtually impossible” as you claimed.
There's no reason for new users to become bag holders.

Sellers and "HODLers" rely on psychological manipulation and ignorance of new users to sell bitcoins produced by the software for low effort.
> There is no intrinsic value in gold. Or any other thing. The only value things have are the exchange and use values humans imbue them with.

Your definition of “intrinsic value” does not match that of standard economic terminology.

Gold has intrinsic value beyond speculation because it can be used for industrial supplies and because it’s a well-liked jewelry item. Extrinsic value contributed by speculation can drive this price away from those anchors, but the anchors exist.

Your definition seems vaguely philosophical, but in any case your argument, as posed, is incoherent. Either you’re using the same definition as what others are, in which case your argument is simply incorrect, or you’re using an alternate definition, and your argument ceases to be relevant.
I looked at this for my project but we need to be able to do server side recording so we went with Janus gateway instead. It's a lean and mean c program that now supports plugins in rust. The one downside of jitsi is that it's a large java application. I can run Janus on a raspberry pi.
AFAIK Delhi-Mumbai is served almost completely by A320s and 737s. I doubt most people traveling on that route could afford a 787 or A380 flight.

The white paper is not a gospel.

This is a technology project. It's okay to rethink the possible ways of solving the problem 8 years into it.
Yes, but what jsnell is saying it, perhaps if you perform the same experiment with Bing, you'd find pages it didn't index, but that were present in other search engines.

You can't say A is better than B with a few data points. You can say you think B's behavior has changed compared to the past. But that's also erroneous.

It's possible the behavior was always there, you just never tripped over it and rare enough that most people don't, either because the web was too smaller before, or your own content was smaller, or it's recent link and access patterns changed enough to trigger the behavior.

On a two-dimensional scale from socialism to capitalism, any move away from one is a move to another.

We've yet to see what "pure" capitalism even really looks like; Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations argues that competition is required for his "invisible hand" and that monopolies are bad because they reduce efficiency and choice, and impede progress, but our current strategy to prevent or break up a monopoly looks a whole lot like government regulation which is supposed to stifle innovation, not promote it!

Desktop keyboards contain apostrophes, but smartphone keyboards generally don't. And one proposal (the best, IMHO) used digraphs rather than accented letters. This would work very nicely with computers, smart phones, Twitter, Google, etc.
I think figgis may be responding in a sarcastic way and trying to point out that those are not animated gifs, but are actual HTML page elements, animated with CSS. If you view on desktop and use a browser DOM inspector (like Chrome Dev Tools) you can verify that this is the case.

To be honest I'm quite impressed that NYTimes went this length to create these technical widgets. Do they have software engineers or web developers working in conjunction with journalists on articles like these? Seems like a relatively high cost of production.

Although I'm not a fan, I have to say in this case it does do its job quite well, which is to demonstrate how having twitter news would feel like back in the 1968s~ time.

Company founder was a rich programmer who lived alone in the mountains and did all business over Skype. He sent me a dozen multi page emails over the course of a week, then offered me a job continuing development of an application he built. He wanted me to sign numerous legal documents and agree to be available anytime “inspiration strikes.” He made a very generous salary offer and I nearly accepted, but just couldn’t convince myself that he’d be able to make the product profitable before the money burned up, and I felt there was a chance he would get bored and drop the whole thing.
