The real test for me is: Do I have sufficient assets to quit my job and still maintain my current standard of living and spending habits? It has nothing to do with wage income.
Like religion, Money, laws and just about anything else that makes a functioning society.

> According to Army officials, the delay in distributing the software from the United States to all Patriot locations was due to the time it took to arrange for air and ground
transportation in a wartime environment.

I'm not knowledgeable at all on how software for missile batteries was distributed in 1991 from the US to the Persian Gulf but 11 days doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

Of course. It's what separates us from the beasts and animals.

Sapiens also talks about how humanism is completely made up. Who says a human deserves rights? Why should humans not own other humans? Because we built up a moral system on made up beliefs, largely religious in origin.

And that is good. Otherwise why protect weak humans? Why not just behave more "naturally", like animals?
Scrabble tile, letter up vs. letter down. Bonus in that the flips may be done all at once and ordered alphabetically.
Ah that's nice. I took the relevant course in Swedish, where we use the German loan word "Faltung" (turns to faltning in Swedish) for this operation.
I guess that's a fair question. Two reasons come to mind:

1. If the by-passers where to discover what you've done they might feel violated. This is why there are laws against stalking. Thus in this example it would be all about intent.

2. What if your database leaks? Have you considered that event, the probability of it happening, and the impact? How can you minimize the risk? Is it encrypted? How long do you need to store it for? Can it be anonymized? Do you even need to look up name? Is the potential privacy intrusion proportional to the purpose of collecting the data?

To be GDPR-compliant you must have answered all those questions and documented it.
Now that's what I call caffeine overdose!
Thanks! Even just a limit of two or three categories max would be helpful for me. My projects are roughly 40% coding, 40% writing, and 20% charity, and I'm not really sure which category to put myself into. As a result I "made my own" which I think means it's hard to find me.
A less militarized society could reach the same point. "Sending in the special cops with guns" === "sending in the tanks and bombers."

In both cases the government withholds superior strength for itself, regardless of the baseline. The question of "are people willing to risk their life" and "is the government willing to kill in large numbers" seem unchanged.
Serious question: adding more / different memory wouldn't also trigger recertification of the software?

It seems like those shouldn't be coupled, but I seem to remember (horror) stories about programs running on machines with segmented memory, where the segments straddled each other, and/or where the last segment wrapped around to the beginning of RAM. Expanding RAM in such a scenario would cause wrapped writes to no longer wrap, for example.

Or any other illogical reason a program could use or abuse the size of RAM for. It just never ceases to amaze me how things that should be completely decoupled can end up not being.

> blow it all away

I appreciated the wording there. :)
You solution is a “boil the oceans” one typically proposed by engineers. You can re-program computers. You can’t re-program millions of people. Every natural language uses spaces to separate things.

You can accept that or you can keep tilting at windmills.

In every branch of science, reality wins. If your model can’t accomodate reality it’s either completely wrong or it needs adjustments, at least.
It would be interesting for someone to identify regions in states that have similar internet conditions before NN. We might have some interesting data to peruse if the curr situation holds for a few years.
At this point we are already used to these trashy titles. There is no logic reasoning game to play; simply the bad faith in the title must be mentioned. And considering that the death of 28 persons is involved, it's in poor taste.
Then it isn't HA.
>* Has it had an effect on crime rates? If so, this is interesting*

I don't think so. You could also likely randomly detain people, and the fear you would cause may also reduce crime rates. That doesn't make it right.
Sounds like the company won't. Whoever places the first sell order on the exchange will get to determine the ask price.
If someone is taking fly training of commercial jet without wanting to learn how to land the plane, I absolutely want the government to find out why.

It would be far better if there were a many dozens of Facebooks with roughly equal numbers of users. It would be a much more intelligible market for the small fish to operate in, as the whims of any one algorithm wouldn't be so significant.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of internet traffic is controlled by a handful of algorithms controlled by an even smaller number of organizations. Their inscrutable whims can make or break businesses, and that's far to much power for them to have.
I know there are a lot of clamoring here about ‘oh we are becoming this too and that too’. And it’s a natural reaction: we feel like we cannot change anything about China and how it governs its people, so we try to stigmatize our own government. But the truth of the matter is US government is nowhere near the heavy handed ness of China, and we can deal with China to some degree. We can hold China to its actions. After reading about the uigher concentration camps in China, I feel like it’s time to take a stand. It’s time to stop supporting such a bad regime. Time to voice my concerns about China to my government, and vote with my wallet. No more Chinese products if I can. No more trips to Shanghai. I don’t want to help the government terrorize my friends in China anymore.
Thanks for letting me know not to bother!

Discovery. That's what I loved about last.fm in the olden days, as a listener. My scrobbler profile is still a bit extreme in the sheer amount of artists and music I listen to.

Yet I never moved on to Spotify, rather started browsing and buying on bandcamp (who have a great weekly podcast, just enough for me).
Yes but so you can try and target your scare resource against those more likely to commit illegal acts not round up all insert ethnic group of your choice.
You‘re probably referring to this research:

https://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2013/05/daily-...

...which by the way I find extremely plausible, just judging by the fact that most of our senses (hearing volume & frequency, light intensity, etc.) are perceived in a logarithmic way.

That being said, my personal opinion is that money does not make people happy, but it definitely prevents a lot of causes of unhappiness.
Awesome, been looking for something like this.

Spotify very much is an ads business though given their free user base. Opened up their Ads Manager for self service recently.
I would be very surprised if embedded missile guidance software actually used dynamic memory allocation. It would most likely use static data.
This is a little higher than I remember from a few years ago, but inflation is also a thing.

Many will quip that money doesn't buy happiness, but it certainly helps or some variant of this pithy phrase. Here's the real interpretation of these results: people need their fundamental goods satisfied, beyond that all you can buy are toys.

Fundamental needs are housing, food, education, a social life, a sense of purpose, a sense of control, and healthcare. Notice that nowhere in this is money mentioned. That means that society can in theory be organized around principles of universally delivering these foundational goods and values without needing to produce toys for the rich and we might all be happier for it.
Actually we started out with dtube.video domain and the .TUBE registry owner noticed and liked our project so much that he offered the domain for a very fair price. :))

I don’t think it’s possible to really understand how great Spotify’s algorithm is until you’ve experienced it recommending a fantastic song, and you go check the artist out, notice they have less than ten thousand plays and have only released two songs

Idk how that’s even possible but it happens once a month for me

> There's your metaphor.

No, it’s not. That’s the definition, much like information theoretic death is death. Here is a metaphor: from our perspective on a street, we cannot perceive anything within a manhole, just like from outside a black hole we cannot perceive anything inside it.

Here is not a metaphor: a black hole is a hole in space, with a singularity inside of it.
> It's hard to imagine how they could instill the work ethic in him that they seem to have without also instilling a moral compass

It's not at all hard to believe that they could instill a value system focussed on working toward material gain while not instilling a value system focussed on values that compete with working toward material gain.

Meego could have been killer, if they'd made the devices available, and shipped Alien Dalvik to bootstrap off of Android's app ecosystem.

I've been using a Xperia X running Sailfish for the last week, and can't get over how well Android apps run along side beautiful native Sailfish apps. While Google Play Services are kinda hacky to get up and running, if you can live out of F-Droid and/or the Amazon app store, everything Just Works. Even Prime Video and Netflix.
Counter-Counterpoint: My group of friends has a slack channel that we use essentially as an IRC chatroom where we organize long term events, plan evening activities, and chat about an assortment of topics. Nothing about Slack makes it less useful as a personal communication tool as opposed to business communication.
It's worth it to me. I like having my lights automated to respond to my schedule and coordinate with other sensors so that the lights come on and off automatically, fade to keep light levels constant, adjust color temperature to reduce blue light in the evening. For me, the real killer app is using them as an alarm in the morning. I'm not a very good morning person and have trouble waking up abruptly from an alarm, but I can use my lights to slowly fade on and wake me up gently (I'm super sensitive to light so just the slow fade in over 30 minutes is plenty to wake me up). I don't feel nearly as groggy in the mornings waking up like that.

It's a luxury for sure, but it's one that appeals to some people. Smart lights are definitely over-hyped however, they are far from essential.
Do you know the details of the differences between the old and the new mechanisms? All I see is a migration is required, but I used neither.
Sure, but that assumes a government willing to literally go to war with its populace, and why I explicitly said a war would be required. I have no illusions about how that war would end of course... tanks and B-52’s reliably best handguns and rifles. The difference between a country drowning in guns and one without them is that in the latter case it’s just that much easier, a “lower barrier to entry” if you will.
I feel like this is basic economics... money, like most things, has diminishing marginal utility.

From a common sense standpoint, it's not so much that having money makes you happy, but having to worry about money definitely can make you unhappy.

Probably bad analogy: Eating a meal that I'd rate 9/10 doesn't make me much happier than a meal that's 8/10, but having to worry about whether I'm going to be able to eat today at all would definitely make me sad.
The scope changes, national identity does not. You don't really identify with your fellow Italians until the Lombards invade. You don't identify with your fellow Christians until Muslims are at your border. You don't identify with fellow Earthlings until Martians show up. As humans we simply round up to the most immediately useful tribe.

I just regurgitation about some kind of article the professor brought in.

Wikipedia didn't exist when I was taking the course. It's probably in one of the 100 odd source articles since it wasn't just my professor that pointed it out. One of the other commenters mentioned a similar discussion from one of their professors.
There's definitely inefficiency but I was replying to the notion that this would be a cure for blue-collar unemployment. It's not even going to make a dent.

The article itself shows a lot of screenshots which are specifically service jobs, also referred to as "pink-collar". Those are indeed rapidly on the rise and generally underrepresented in LinkedIn (https://poachedjobs.com is the go-to for food & drink) so I think it could be successful there.

But to suggest Facebook Jobs will be the panacea for blue-collar unemployment is sheer ignorance.
The idea of "Nation" being a people goes back thousands and thousands of years. I don't think it was born in the 19th century...

Do you use the bounding box information? That seems like it could help you with table formats.
My experience with triplebyte was positive, but the interviews with the companies I matched with was not.

The first thing every company asked for was my resume, clearly they had not bought into the triplebyte process. Some seemed entirely unfamiliar with triplebyte.

Interviewing can be a sad process. Triplebyte gave me a taste for what things could be like, but didn't give me any advantage in the application process.

The companies triplebyte matched me with resulted in some of my worst interview experiences. Think disinterested ceos, hostile line of questioning, and a focus on my previous job experience vs things I would have liked to talk about (open source, personal projects)
It's easy to get confused because of how nation, state, and nation-state are often conflated. The defining characteristic of a nation is a group of people tied by birth and anyone with a high school or better understanding of English etymology should know that. Language, culture, and other ancillary features are also all strongly heritable.
Not necessarily. If they are capturing these people because they will have committed a crime and that in and of itself is crime then its not reducing crime.

It's possible that once enough people who on balance might commit a crime are arrested or impeded, then crime will indeed decrease.
When they announced the move to Windows Phone, I thought it seemed like a good idea. Meego clearly wasn't ready, Symbian was an antique, and Windows Phone was promising in so many ways -- even now I believe we will never see another smartphone OS as well-designed as Windows Phone 7.

Then some months later, for some reason, I ended up owning a phone with the last release of Symbian on it (Symbian Belle). And I realised that the original Nokia plan wasn't as stupid as it seemed.

Symbian Belle was a surprisingly smooth and pleasant OS -- much smoother in many contexts than Android at the time. It had some serious pitfalls, but it turned out there was quite a lot of productive turd-polishing that could be done. A lot of the good stuff on Belle was down to Qt Quick, which was the same framework as they were intending to carry through for Meego developers. And although I never used Meego, I can believe that it could have worked very nicely in the end, and a polished Symbian could have seen it through for a while.

But I was just as surprised to find out how much infrastructure there was behind it all. Nokia had an app store and billing platform serving a lot of countries and languages, that could bill you for apps either from credit card or straight from your carrier balance. They had one of the best mapping providers, a decent weather service, and a fine music provider. They had first-class hardware and a lot of public goodwill.

The experience changed my mind completely. Nokia could have done it with Symbian and Meego.

I think people vastly underestimate the happiness potential that convenience offers. Time is our scarcest asset, and wasting it is extremely distressing. Stress is a big factor in perceived happiness. So yeah, spending money to save time can have a large impact on how happy you are.
You can sometimes get a raise in the same company, but it is usually harder.
spotify premium is $10. it used to be if you subscribed to spotify premium through the app store it cost $13 because Apple literally wants 30% of any money that changes hands through the app store. otherwise you give spotify $10 directly and go on your way.
The thing about Java is that it has its own dependency system embedded in the compiler. This design decision made it difficult to integrate with a tool like make.
This is not a situation that can (or should) be resolved through violent rebellion.

A violent response would only serve to justify the application of the system, to cut the head off of any leadership structure before it materializes (or just pick off the lone wackos before they cause problems).

I would have agreed with you before November 2016. Now, I'm being completely honest in saying I'm not so sure.
It's a figure of speech, not a show of approval.

A lot of comments saying "money and laws and religion are made up, too!" This is absolutely correct but avoids dealing with the spirit of the claim. The reason this is worth saying is because so many people believe that tribalism and its artifacts are essential parts of being human. But it's worth discussion because it's no more "natural" than anything other mythology we create to make a consistent narrative of our history to justify our actions. Having grown up in America this is a practical matter because many people are convinced that America is right implicitly because it's America.
>That seems like a cultural thing, though - there's nothing biological to stop people from laying out a purpose for themselves and pursuing it.

Purpose without existential risk of failure is not usually perceived as genuine.

If you have enough money and only put a fraction of it to use, you might create things, but you're never really risking anything. I'd wager more people join the military for purpose than the local paintball team, not despite but because the former really puts your life at risk.
As someone who ran a company that spent most of 18 years with all employees working remote: The most important thing to me was that workers had the ability to treat it as a job. During interviews I'd ask where they planned to work, if they had an office, if they had a family and if so what their plan was for having an office at home.

For example, I had one employee that I spent a significant amount of time over nearly a year trying to help with his performance. The situation seemed to be that his stay-at-home wife just wouldn't respect that he was "at work". One of our discussions he said "My office currently doesn't have a door on it, and she's always coming in to ask me questions."

But, of course, just being at an office doesn't mean the job will be treated seriously. Another co-worker would do maybe an hour of work a day, and spend the rest of the time dicking around on the Internet. Actually, I'd say this described the bulk of my co-workers when I was at the phone company...

Little things do add up.
Define "software engineer"? I know for example the US gov puts basically all tech jobs in the same bucket of IT. Hardcore low-level assembly programmers with people who set up office on business machines.

I would speculate the total number of people the average HN reader would consider a software engineer is much lower.
CAA records help with that now. You can just specify your certificate issuer at the DNS level.
> They apparently have a [webgui] “certificate wizard” that will generate the certificate and corresponding private key for you.

Any company doing that deserves to have their decision makers crucified, head down, on the outer wall of the town church, with the nails hammered through their genitals.

If you didn't create the private key yourself, by definition it's not private. If generating CRSs and handling the certificates is too difficult, then feed improvements upstream. And yes, I know how horrible openssl's UI is for dealing with anything other than CN based certs. It's awful enough for those, an absolutely atrocious for pretty much anything else.

For the record, CN has been deprecated in certificates since ~2000 (RFC 2818), and practically obsoleted since 2011 (RFC 6125). Regardless of all this, I have dealt (in 2017) with parties who don't understand SAN over CN, and have even had their software stacks blow up when I provide a cert with SANs only, and no CN.
Yes! Coming soon. Enjoy the 'Someone bought you 5 coffees' emails until then :)

Do you really think there are 120,000 people in that province that are all making bulk purchases of unneeded fertilizer?
