Actually, they are. Arguably it's the cryptominer fools that the part manufacturers want nothing to do with, because chances are you ramp up manufacturing now (so 3-6 months until you actually see higher supply) and by then they are on to the next coin fad.
I think if I was creating a new social media website today I'd probably not set up any presence in the EU. The sheer quantity of fines for vaguely specified "crimes" being handed out makes it a deeply unattractive business environment and it seems to be getting worse. I remember when Facebook was new, one of its big competitive advantages was its easy and comprehensive privacy controls. I didn't see other social networks go significantly further in the years since. Now Germany - having failed to clone Facebook domestically (StudiVZ) - sits around extracting money on the grounds that users somehow did not consent to their data being used when they directly uploaded it to the site.

I don't see the Valley's hold on social networking loosening any time soon. For all its faults the USA doesn't constantly fine its firms for not doing "enough", whatever that means.
i am very confused why you have a higher bar for this than other services. would you actually create a spreadsheet that values your time (against other alternatives), gas/lyft/train fare to and back from the store, the extra costs associated with actually being in a retailer (and seeing the specials in store etc) and compare that against our offering?

and again, we aren't the ones doing the markup -- those are coming from the retailer directly, who may (or may not) mark up prices, which is their prerogative. we put all of our costs in the checkout screen transparently.
I'm not surprised, disappointed, but not surprised. I hope that, like the Paris Agreement, States rise to the challenge and issue their own standards. Considering that California is ~12% of the total USA population, car manufacturers would be hard-pressed to avoid that market.
I wish the “of course ads are needed” weren’t true. I am waiting for the service that charges me $1/month so that I can demand zero garbage: no unwanted sharing, no ads, no spying; just a useful service for storing photos and updating friends and inviting people to events.
Battery powered or not it will be low powered... there is no class-A amp in that little thing unless it's being cooled by liquid nitrogen, it will be Class-D.

I've no doubt many people will be impressed, it's all relative. But if you actually care about audio you could have bought a lot more for you $300 or whatever it is, but then people don't buy these types of things for audio, they buy them for integration.

The fact that you are comparing it to a "soundbar" shows that you probably haven't heard much better. (i'm not trying to be nasty, it's just true of most consumers, we are not living in the HiFi age anymore).
Yes, using the latest hardware is painful with Ubuntu.

It's gonna be a breeze in a few month though. And once that happens, the open source AMD drivers are going to be stabler than the Nvidia blob again.
They had things going for a time, but then they switched to their own branded content (supposedly because the big guys wanted more of the pie and so set up their own services).
Ha! No Google does not get the models and data.
Show HN: My Weekend Project – Automatically determine date format string
I'm old (almost 56) and retired so I'm perhaps out of touch. Have things changed this much?

I just asked my wife (who I met at Silicon Graphics) to read the article and asked her if things were like that at SGI. She said no, there was little to none of this. I'm sure, people being people, there was some but her memory matches mine, it wasn't rampant, there were no "24/7 sexual advances" that just wasn't a thing. Or if it was we both didn't notice it.

I made the comment that I didn't have enough game to harass anyone like what is described in the article and I didn't know any programmers that were like that. My wife thinks that maybe the programmers of today are really different than they were 20-30 years ago.

I dunno, I wonder if this is just normal life at every company now or if these are some companies with a worse culture than others. I sure hope these are not the norm. If these stories are the norm we're headed for a depressing world where men and women don't like each other very much. It's hard to start there and end up as partners.

It seems like a lot of the fun of flirting would be viewed as harassment, which is a shame, flirting is fun when both people are into it. You can do it without any sexual intent at all, I used flirt shamelessly with my admin at SGI. I got called on it when I stopped (I got busy with a project). My boss's boss called me in and asked me "why did you stop flirting with Kim?" I explained and he said "Kim is going through rough divorce, she could really use the attention, please find some time to give her some." So I did, but it was harmless fun, we both knew we were just playing, it wasn't going anywhere. Would that be OK in today's climate? Seems like no.
As vehicle combustion has gotten cleaner, simple evaporative emissions of raw gasoline has become a major contributor to smog & air quality. Old style half-empty gas cans in a hot garage are also hazardous, and have blown up many a garage according to my auto mechanic father.
I think you may have misinterpreted my comment, because I'm really in agreement with what you just said: placing near the top in prestigious math contests indicates that you'll probably be a good professional mathematician, but not having top contest-math scores does not preclude you from being a good professional mathematician.

In general I think placement into top math undergrad/PhD programs (e.g. Harvard) should be less focused on contest math.
Ah - that's an interesting perspective I had not considered. I was basing my prediction on the stronger than expected job gains, GDP growth forecasts, and how the Fed is cutting back on quantitative easing.

Keeping an eye on the US inflation report coming out this Wednesday should provide more guidance on what the Fed may do - if it's higher than expected I think the Fed will probably raise rates by another .25%.
This type of comment is all too common across The Guardian to the point that it is almost editorial policy. It's a real shame as The Guardian is one of the better major papers out there in my opinion. I just wish they could face the fact that they have a real problem with this type of snide anti-male remark.
Awesome! Thx
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgment_of_Solomon is unethical but could be considered fair (with respect to the putative mothers, if not the baby).
2030 model year is 11 actual years away.

I am not sure what a typical "generation" of cars is these days, but even at 4 years per "generation" you are saying that the 61% goal has to be met within 3 product revision cycles. Is that reasonable? I don't know, but it seems pretty difficult to meet as a requirement.
Would you mind contacting me about this, my email address is in my profile.
So just don’t watch it. I don’t get why that’s so hard.
I have a wireless audio configuration which introduces 200ms latency. This is usually unnoticeable because I watch almost all my video through mpv, which lets me set a 200ms delay on the video to compensate. I can't play Netflix titles through mpv, and as far as I've been able to tell, the Netflix player doesn't have an AV sync setting.

My setup is idiosyncratic, and I wouldn't expect Netflix to build in every feature of power-user video players like mpv and vlc. As long as Netflix uses DRM, their service will be inadequate for some small segment of the population, and that segment will pirate their content, because their DRM has done nothing to stop their content appearing on torrent sites within hours of its release.
> Evernote can't print to PDF

Yes it can. The print dialog has a whole PDF menu.
In my experience it is. Streaming apps come integrated into all kinds of devices, giving a plug and play experience close to the old fashioned way. It's not much, but don't forget to consider trust at that. Why risk shady piracy when a convenient app is built right into your $device.

Whether that reduces piracy or rather the legal enforcement which pushes torrents into the shadows of its former self does not hinge on the quality of the delivery.
Given all the allegations that have been made, there will be intense media attention on any extradition case. I would have thought having clear intentions from the outset would be in their favour, considering the scrutiny they will be under.

I by no means want to see him extradited to the US, nor anyone come to think about it. I genuinely don't believe their judicial process to be fair. Maybe cultural bias, and I'm not suggesting my country is much better.
What do you mean? THere's a complete paragraph on the topic:

> And as the number of flights have proliferated, short-hop flights from economy carriers increasingly depart from smaller airports that are at a greater distance from the city, lengthening journey times further—not to mention obliging passengers to rely on sketchy onward transit. Anyone that’s made the 40 minute rail trip out to London Stansted Airport, or touched down at Southend Airport to find the last of the evening trains to London has long gone will know exactly what I mean here.
> Amazon as a threat to Google in this area.

LOL. That is like saying Apple (iPhones) are a threat to Google (Android) when it was Apple that first brought touch-based smartphones to market.

You probably meant: "Google is a threat to Amazon in this area" because Amazon invented and still dominates the smart speaker category.

In other words, Google didn't know a market existed for such devices until Amazon created a market for them.
> A month or two ago, sure - TX congestion had driven up fees to ridiculous levels. Now that the congestion has cleared, I can once again send hundreds of thousands of USD across the world for less than a dollar.

Congestion has only cleared because the transaction volume has fallen to a two-year low:

The bubble is deflating, in case you haven't noticed.
My concern is the price of getting the product at the store verse instacart delivering it.

If you can get a discount directly from the store, great! You are providing value to them.
If the appeal doesn't go Facebook's way, what is the resolution to this? It sounds like they'll just have to update their terms of service to say that you agree to allow Facebook to use your data in XYZ ways. Of course, that'll be buried in the fine print and no-one will even notice.
Ha! We'd love to. We're fans of the Haiku OS project — as we scope out posix/*nix support, we'll be giving Haiku for Haiku a serious look.
They have already been decreasing of the charm of Instagram by adding more and more features… Basically, turning it into Facebook. In the large circle of artists that I work in, a slogan that is being oft repeated lately is “make Instagram chronological again”.
I do use Facebook, but I don’t post much content as when I do, it’s almost useless because they don’t show my content to anyone. Instagram is increasingly the same way.
The paper was Neuronal Transcriptome of Aplysia: Neuronal Compartments and Circuitry by Moroz

This was a decade ago. Looking at the paper again I believe we only tried to reproduce a small portion of it; the phylogeny tree from the paper and its supplemental material.
Yes, so the motherboards are now the main problem... in 2018 I certainly wouldn't build anything that's only capable of 30Hz. Would be a total waste of money. My current setup has a pretty basic B250 chipset microATX motherboard (no wifi, etc) which is fine because the design was with a dedicated geforce1030.

I'm sure that by April there will be similarly priced motherboards that do support 2160p60 out on their built in HDMI port, for use with these new CPUs.
There always seems to be a misunderstanding that design tools are for production rather than design. They aren’t: even if you used code to explore your design, it is highly likely that most of that code (written quickly and written to be thrown away) would be unsuitable for production purposes.
By "businesses catering to us" I was referring to companies like Roam (or, any "hey digital nomad, come stay with us for a month away from anyone local just to be a tourist" companies), but I 100% agree with your statement that we are usually welcome by local businesses.

And thank you for the description of your process, always good to get another perspective. We find ourselves working very hard to find the proper place before we arrive, and having some local time first would definitely seem to make things easier. Just have to balance that cost with our budget.
nil was the sole instance of the class UndefinedObject, which was a subclass of Object, whose superclass evaluated to nil.

Another paradox: Every instance has a Class. A Class is also an instance of a Class. That object also has a Class, and that instance of a Class also has a Class, and so on. It was turtles all the way down.
Also, Snapchat has been neutered by Facebook closely duplicating their features in Instagram.
High speed designs definitely do not like corners, especially fast serial interconnects are often problematic (they tend to have really high clocks), think PCIe, USB3,...
The rest of the world is paying the price or even better finding ways to do it without driving the cost up.
Because you do not stay in business if you operate in such a manner. Plus it is not good from an employee standpoint in retaining. Most people prefer to conduct themselves in an ethical manner.

Hard to get employees to not steal from you if you are stealing from your customers.
2005 was great for me as an old man taking classes at the University. My classmates said to get on this facebook thing and you could see everything from everyone, everywhere.

Made a bunch of random friends around the world and picked up a few college girls as well. :'-) Good times!

I thought everyone quit after the newsfeed in 2006? Then when grandma could get an account a couple years later.
I love this. Never knew it had a name. Thanks for showing me that. I also love all history related to WWII, so thanks for giving me Wikipedia food for 3 hours tonight.
Need to clean up the code and then I will upload it to Github :) Also let me know if there are any formats that don't work for you.
True, but if your friends also needed to pay $1 then many of them wouldn't, and then the service still wouldn't be useful to you (despite paying $1).
I could see an argument made that the placement of the subtitles in an arrangement for ease of reading, without blocking key visual information, placed such that a viewer can identify which subtitle is spoken by which character, timed such that jokes are not given away prematurely, has a creative aspect in order to make sure that all such constraints are met when creating subtitles.

It isn't a good argument, but I could see it being made.
Great reference to "Eternal September" - didn't know about that. I can now think of many examples of this happening to online communities.
I made the mistake of adding all my coworkers to my Facebook, even though I never use facebook.

I loved the snarky comment coming into work over the weekend of "Hey did you see my invite for donation request for the XYZ cause??? Man..sure could use more donations"

Few weeks ago I deactivated it. Fuck it, I havent used Facebook since Highschool which was 8 years ago. I only left it on so that girls could add me, and I could maybe add them essentially.
The problem with democracy – and how to solve it
That’s not correct. All recent shows I watched on Netflix in Germany (on a German account) had English CC subtitles in addition to typically a range of others. This includes Originals and external content such as Star Trek TNG
> I remember my compuserve number too -- 101611,1220

I was (am?) 72167,3530. Does that make my ID older or newer than yours?
Facebook is no longer the best way for me to share content with people I care about. For me that's WhatsApp, Google Photos, and MMS.
3.native is easier to develop (swift vs javascript, cocoa vs dom) and has a more robust result.
Netflix isn't locking it down, the company they are buying the media from is locking it down.
She lives in our hearts, we all remember and love her. May her nano wires live on.
How human political interactions tend toward a kind of automatism
One way of thinking of legislation is to encourage/discourage behavior indirectly. Think how putting a ridiculous tax on cigarettes makes people less likely to want to use them. In this sense, the German government (and greater EU) may be completely fine in implementing these laws to discourage the presence of these types of companies operating in their jurisdiction. After all, it is hard to argue that social media as currently implemented (by large, foreign, data-hungry companies) is an inalienable right, and much easier to argue that it is a net drain on society.
Have a look at Patchwork, which runs over the decentralised Scuttlebot https://github.com/ssbc/patchwork
Maybe the way we architect social networks online is fundamentally flawed? Maybe these products should not even exist. I'm not claiming I have a better solution though.
The number of folks here and on reddit and even back to Slashdot who had and continue to have negative reactions to incredibly popular things shows that it's really hard for techies to predict what will become a success. I don't think we're irrelevant or out of touch, I just think we really are in a market all our own.

Look at the overwhelmingly negative response to the iPod, which then went on to destroy CD players and every other brand of MP3 player, right up to the point where people just used their iPhone for MP3s, when the techie audience bemoaned the death of the iPod because their music library was too big to fit on a cell phone, at which point the mainstream switched to streaming services so no one noticed. Luckily there are still niche products catering to our needs.

Look at the complaints about the iPhone with no multitasking and no physical keyboard and no user-replaceable battery and no stylus, and the massive success it had which ultimately killed Palm, Windows Mobile, and Blackberry. Luckily there are still niche products catering to our needs.

Look at the complaints about the iPad, which killed the techie-favored netbooks. Luckily there are still niche products catering to our needs.

My rule of thumb is, if HN/Reddit/etc hates it because it doesn't have enough features, it's going to be a massive success in the mainstream market.
I've had the exact opposite experience. Instacart worked really well for me, and Amazon Fresh was well, never that fresh. I suspect the quality of the service varies on geographic location
Well, yeah, the script of the movie is copyrighted.
> It sounds like they'll just have to update their terms of service to say that you agree to allow Facebook to use your data in XYZ ways. Of course, that'll be buried in the fine print and no-one will even notice.

If you read the first paragraph of the article, you'll notice that that is in fact the thing that the court is talking about: the degree of consent created by their terms of service process is deemed insufficient for the disclosure that agreement covers.
>> and again, we aren't the ones doing the markup

So you claim, but since you refuse to list what the IC markup is then it's impossible for us to tell. You're essentially using the retailer markup as an excuse to hide instances of when you do it yourself.

Thus the lack of transparency.

In any given transaction, I have NO idea what the actual % that was added by IC. I do not have this problem with Amazon Prime.
This book seems like it has serious problems with exaggeration. A previous excerpt scandalously claimed that VC parties are drug-fueled sex orgies. As far as I know, none of the scandalous aspects were corroborated, and the party in question sounded pretty corporate in independent accounts (though not so corporate to have drink tickets).
This is kind of a typical German/socialist heavy handed approach to things. I don't agree that it should be illegal if you want to share it, but there needs to be a mechanism to give control over data back to users. This may be a bit too advanced for people, but we are really talking about a kind of digital slavery that Facebook and the like are engaged in; the taking of one's free choice and liberty and the fruits of one's labor to sustain the lifestyle of others against their will. It would be a different matter if all of this were transparent and above board, if you were told you are worth $800 per year to Facebook and $1,500 to Google and $700 to Amazon, etc. and that using their services comes with that cost. But you are told or given the impression that it is all "Free", while they harvest you and your information and data.

This is really a question about liberty and freedom and personal agency. I don't even think people quite realize just how much of themselves and their value and freedom they give up to Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc.

For all the self-destruction of Germany that Merkel's de facto communist dictatorship is bearing down on the German and European people through cultural genocide, at least the country is getting one thing right.

Can I just plug the MIT Solid project at this point, that seems to be attempting to give users control over their lives and person's again to break free of this age of digital slavery.
From the other side of the coin, I think if your business model is based on the exploitation of peoples data, the EU doesn't want your 'SV disruption'.

From https://www.wired.com/story/inside-facebook-mark-zuckerberg-... it would appear that these lessons are being learned, somewhat slowly.
For those that enjoy this sort of thing, you may also like the backyard wrestling documentary "The Backyard" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0309326/?ref_=nv_sr_4). It's violent and disturbing in places, but also often hilarious and silly.
How is this better than just attaching GDB?
Surveys show that Alexa is being used for basic Siri 1.0 searches ("What's the weather","Play x on Pandora", timers, alarms, novelty questions) and little else. Few people have activated a skill or ordered something. A graphical user interface is going to be a vastly richer and more useful interactive experience for a very long time.
Snapchat beats Facebook among teens
Absolutely. The default position should be to remove the personal data where it is possible. But in instances where it the data is necessary for the stability and integrity of the codebase, it should remain.
Where are they going to get microprocessors and hard drives?
Still there, still works.
Our baby goes to sleep between 5-8pm and sleeps until 6-7am.. She makes the rules though, when she finally becomes grumpy in the evening I prepare some food and it's off to bed. Works every time!

I believe all babies are different, so luckily our first have been kind to us this far with her sleeping habits and mood.
>Someone with a gun took my driver's license from me a few months ago

Unless this person was a police officer, and you're glossing over a lot of the story, you can obtain a new one at your local DMV and resume operation of motor vehicles...
Great tool, I see it's by the creator of https://crontab.guru/ which I have used a few times in the past. Thanks!
Deeply unattractive business environment for companies exploiting people's personal data without their consent?

Good.
Good

A lot of Germans use Fb with a fake name anyway
If you're using uTorrent to stream movies, I suggest using [Soda Player](https://www.sodaplayer.com/). It has no ads and lets you stream the movie instead of waiting for it to finish downloading
